The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 74 Li Yanyin Old Fourteen

Li Yan sighed inwardly. He had thought that Lao Si would find him because of his intentional friendship during this period. After all, now everyone knew that Wan Yong Pawnshop was his. If he just said hello to him, he might be able to take the official records directly from him. He didn't expect that he would use such a method now.

But on second thought, Li Yan secretly admired him. This was the mindset of a hero. He never trusted anyone easily, unlike himself, who would act on his emotions from time to time.

Li Yan asked his men to prepare horses, preparing to go to the Fourth Master's mansion in person to confront him.

Li Yan's sudden appearance was beyond Yinzhen's expectation. He suppressed his panic and greeted him warmly: "Tenth brother, what brings you here? Don't you know that Thirteenth brother was talking about inviting you to come over for a gathering yesterday!"

"Haha, Fourth Brother, I'm not a stranger, no need to be so polite. I came here today because I have something to discuss with you!" Li Yan looked around and said nothing more.

Yinzhen frowned and thought. At this moment, it was hard not to think about Ren Bo'an's official records when the Tenth Brother came to visit. However, good fortune is not a disaster, and disaster is inevitable. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and asked the servants to retreat: "Tenth brother, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Fourth brother, I know you have a pawn ticket in your hand. It is a pawn ticket of an official record recorded by Ren Bo'an, the former Jiangnan Salt Inspector, at Wanyong Pawn Shop. You are now trying to find a way to redeem the official record without alerting me."

Li Yan's words were like a bolt from the blue, and the fourth brother's heart exploded. It was as if his inner secret had been discovered. He suddenly felt panic in his heart, and an unnatural look appeared on his face.

Yinzhen thought quickly in his mind, was there a leak? Only he, the Thirteenth Prince and Nian Gengyao knew about this.

The news that Nian Gengyao's sister married the Tenth Prince as a concubine might have been leaked from him.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen's face darkened: "Tenth brother, I didn't expect that you knew everything. It was Nian Gengyao who told you."

"Nian Gengyao is your man. How dare he tell me such a big thing? If I ask him, I will harm him." Li Yan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's expression lightened up a bit.
After thinking about it, this made sense. Everyone knew the rules of his mansion. Nian Gengyao's sister was the Tenth Prince's concubine. If the Tenth Prince really got the news from him, he would not show off in front of him. This would be tantamount to telling himself that Nian Gengyao was a traitor. The Tenth Prince would never make things difficult for Nian Gengyao.

"Then how did you know that, tenth brother?" Yinzhen asked puzzledly.

Li Yan smiled and said, "Since the crown prince was reinstated this time, he has changed a lot compared to before. His behavior is much bolder now, and he doesn't hide many things. Even those people under him are jumping up and down. If you pay a little attention, you will know that there is nothing strange about these things."

"Could it be that the Tenth Brother intends to hand over this official record to the Eighth Brother?"

Yinzhen also knew the prince's style, so he nodded and did not ask any more questions. The Tenth Prince was now in charge of tens of thousands of troops, so it was normal for him to be well-informed. Maybe the emperor had secretly told him something.

"Of course not. This official's record has nothing to do with me. I will not interfere no matter how Fourth Brother wants to deal with it. I just want Fourth Brother to do me a small favor." Li Yan stated his purpose.

"What favor do you need? Just tell me, Tenth Brother."

Yinzhen's eyes jumped. Since the Tenth Master came to him, it seemed that he couldn't get the official records without the Tenth Master's consent. Hearing Li Yan say that he would not block the official records, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little curious that the Tenth Master was not interested in it.

The official recorded that both the crown prince and the eighth brother were eager to get it. Since the tenth brother did not want it, what did he want to do? Yinzhen was a little confused. "I hope that the fourth brother will hand this matter over to the fourteenth brother to handle. The fourth brother will give the pawn ticket to the fourteenth brother and ask him to get these things out privately through my relationship. When the official records the Wanyong Pawn Shop, I will inform the fourth brother as soon as possible. At that time, the fourth brother will do whatever he wants to do with these things." Li Yan stated his intention.

Yinzhen frowned and thought for a long time. He didn't know why the Tenth Prince did this. Why didn't he just hand over the officials' records to him, but required the Fourteenth Prince to intervene? He couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

Li Yan saw the puzzled look on the face of the Fourth Brother, and wanted to take out the imperial gold medal to make him submit. This was what he had thought of when he first came. But now Li Yan changed his mind. If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine, but the Fourth Brother has always been steady, thoughtful, and has many concerns. Once the gold medal is revealed, it means that the emperor is paying attention to this matter, which will make him think more, and other changes may occur.

In order to avoid complications, it is best to resolve the matter within the smallest scope. After thinking about it, I found a seemingly reasonable reason to explain:
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I am not interested in this official record! Since Fourth Brother wants it, what else can I say? I, the Tenth Brother, should have handed it over to you. I just want Fourth Brother to do me a favor. I promise that I will never give it to the Crown Prince or Eighth Brother without your consent. I will give it to him when Fourteenth Brother comes forward. Fourth Brother and Fourteenth Brother are brothers from the same mother and have a very close relationship. When the time comes, you can go directly to Fourteenth Brother to take over the official record. I think Fourteenth Brother will not mind."

"I don't mean any other thing. I just want to do him a favor. He is in charge of the military department and I am in charge of the Xishan Ruijian Battalion. It is inevitable that we will have some overlaps. Some things may be asked of him. But my relationship with the Fourteenth Brother has always been bad. I want to take this opportunity to repair it. How about Fourth Brother help Tenth Brother?"

Yinzhen thought about it and didn't know what the tenth brother was up to. However, since the official's record had revealed the truth and was in the hands of the tenth brother, no one could get it without his consent. This matter would not harm the fourteenth brother either. If he couldn't figure it out, then forget it. Everyone has their own intentions when doing things. As long as it doesn't hurt him, why should he have to figure it out clearly?

Thinking of this, Yinzhen smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go find my fourteenth brother now."

"Thank you, fourth brother."

Now that the matter was settled, everyone returned to their previous friendly mood, chatting and laughing for a few minutes, and then Li Yan said goodbye!
Yinzhen was also anxious to go to the Fourteenth Prince. Things had developed to this point and the truth could no longer be hidden. If it was delayed any further, more people would know about it.

There is no time to lose, it is better to get it done early so that you can feel at ease when you get your things in the shortest time possible.

Li Yan said goodbye and left, returning to the mansion with his worries on his mind!
At noon the next day, Li Wei hurried to find Li Yan and said, "Master Shi, someone just took Ren Bo'an's handwritten letter and took away the four large boxes that Ren Bo'an had pawned. Because of your instructions, I did not stop them."

"I compared the handwriting on this letter with the contract signed by Ren Bo'an, and it is indeed Ren Bo'an's handwriting."

After saying that, he took out a letter from Ren Boan from his bosom. Li Yan took it and opened it. It was indeed written by Ren Boan. It said that he was unable to go there due to some matters, so the client came to pick up the pawned items. The date of the signature was yesterday.

Li Yan was greatly surprised when he saw this, and hurried back to the study, and found out the memorial written by Ren Bo'an that he had taken out from the court documents some time ago. After opening it and comparing them one by one, he found that they were indeed 90% similar. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Li Yan showed a smug smile on his face: "Li Wei, send someone to deliver a letter to the Fourth Brother's house, saying that the Fourteenth Master has just taken the things from Wanyong Pawn Shop."

"He probably just returned home now. If he goes earlier, he can help the Fourteenth Master unload the goods."

"嗻"

Li Wei agreed and left the house.
