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

Chapter 79: Lao Ba's Speculation
Li Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder he wanted to kill all the people in Jiangxia Town. I was thinking before that this matter was a bit strange. Nian Gengyao had the seal of the Ministry of Justice and the handwritten order of my thirteenth brother to arrest Liu Ba Nu. Even if the people of Huai'an Camp refused to execute the order because Nian Gengyao did not have the pass from the Anhui Provincial Government, they would not have confronted him openly!"

"Besides, even if Nian Gengyao insisted on using force to capture Liu Banv, he could at most repel the people from the Huai'an camp, but he wouldn't kill them all. Those people are not tough guys, and if they see they can't win, they won't charge forward desperately."

"Let's take a step back and say that the old, weak, women and children in Jiangxia Town also rebelled? Did they all need to be killed? It turns out that Nian Gengyao wanted to get the money and silenced them."

"How cruel! It seems that the Fourth and Thirteenth Brothers didn't know about this. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to do this even if they had the guts. I didn't expect that Nian Gengyao was so bold and would dare to do anything."

Li Yan was also secretly shocked. This Nian Gengyao was really unruly. Such a person was not easy to use! He might make a big mistake for you someday. The thirteenth brother was imprisoned for ten years, all thanks to Nian Gengyao.

Yinsi sighed and continued, "The silver issue is still a small matter. In order to get Ren Bo'an to hand over the official records, the prince once wrote a letter to Ren Bo'an himself, and the letter fell into the hands of the fourth brother. Once the emperor knows about this letter, the prince will definitely be deposed again. In order to help me overthrow the prince, the ninth brother used the insider in the fourth brother's mansion to steal the letter yesterday afternoon."

"And last night, Lao Jiu was killed in the mansion, and there were signs of rummaging in the study. I believe the murderer was looking for the letter. But Lao Si never dreamed that Lao Jiu would give me the letter yesterday. If I had known that this letter would bring death to Lao Jiu, I would rather not have this letter."

After Yinsi finished speaking sadly, he took out the letter from the bookshelf and placed it in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan felt lucky. He had always heard that Lao Jiu was the god of wealth of the Eighth Master Party and had countless banknotes. When he saw that no one was alarmed, he thought about looking for Lao Jiu's banknotes. Who knew that he only found more than one million taels. At that time, he thought it was too little and must be placed somewhere else. However, it was the middle of the night and there was no chance to look for it, so he left.

Unexpectedly, in Lao Ba's eyes, the murderer was looking for this letter, which was really a blessing in disguise.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lao Ba awkwardly, then picked up the letter in front of him and opened it. It was indeed written by Prince Yinreng himself, promising that as long as Ren Boan handed over the official records, he could be reappointed as the Jiangnan Salt Patrol.

Although this letter was a temporary measure taken by the prince, if the emperor saw it, he would not be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths.

"Old Nine and I never thought that for this letter, Old Four would disregard the brotherhood and kill his own brother. He is so cruel! If we brothers stand in his way, he will ruthlessly eliminate us one by one."

After the death of the Ninth Elder, Yinsi urgently needed the support of the Tenth Elder, and he was constantly trying to instigate and win over Li Yan in words and deeds. Li Yan could naturally understand what Yinsi meant, but isn't this what he wanted!
When the Ninth Brother died, the Eighth Brother lost his arm. Compared to the Fourteenth Brother, his relationship with him was naturally closer.

Li Yan pretended to think for a while and said, "It seems that it was because of the eight million taels of silver and this letter that they attacked Brother Nine. Brother Eight, you have to be careful too. Don't be careless."

"Don't worry, Tenth Brother. I'm not the Ninth Brother. Although this mansion is not as strong as the Fourth Brother's, not everyone can come here as they please. Tenth Brother, you should pay more attention to your safety recently and don't be careless. They are already angry now, and who knows what they will do."

Li Yan said with a worried look on his face: "Eighth brother, this letter is a disaster. You can't keep it in your hands. You'd better give it to the emperor as soon as possible! Otherwise, if you keep it in your hands for a day, people might remember it." "Tenth brother, that's what I mean. How do you think I should hand over this letter?" After Yinsi finished speaking, he looked at Li Yan tentatively.

Li Yan's heart skipped a beat and he felt disgusted.

Old Eight!
It's already this time, and you're still thinking of taking advantage of me. You're not going to ask me to hand it over, are you?
After thinking for a while, he said, "If Brother Ba thinks it's appropriate for me to hand it over, I, the Tenth Brother, will do my duty. But if the Emperor asks about the origin of this letter, how should I explain it? After all, I don't have an official position in the court. I'm just an idle person. The Emperor will probably guess that you asked me to hand it over, which will be counterproductive."

"Why not let Fourteenth Brother present it? He is in charge of the Ministry of War now. Because the Huai'an Camp officers and soldiers were killed, he went to Jiangxia Town and found this letter. Then he can present it to the emperor for his review. It is legitimate and no one can say anything. Don't you think so?"

Yinsi thought about it worriedly and nodded. What the Tenth Master said made sense.

Moreover, the Eleventh Prince was always straightforward, and if the Emperor asked, he would inevitably tell the truth. Even if he didn't tell the truth, the Emperor might be able to guess it, and then he would make the Emperor disgusted, and feel that he was not loyal to the Emperor and was not filial to his parents, and he would be given a bad impression of being a scheming person.

Thinking of this, I gave up the idea of ​​using Lao Shi!
"Okay, let Old Fourteen hand it in."

Li Yan wanted to know what measures the Eighth Brother was going to take regarding the Ninth Brother, so he asked, "Eighth Brother, what do you think we should do about the Ninth Brother?"

"If something happens to the ninth brother, the people who benefit the most are the fourth brother and his friends. Everyone knows that they are the most suspicious. We don't have any evidence. If we accuse the fourth brother and his friends based on speculation alone, the emperor will also be dissatisfied. We do nothing and let the emperor make the decision for us." Yinsi said with hatred.

Li Yan added fuel to the fire and said, "Yes, in the last case of wrongful imprisonment in the Ministry of Justice, you, Brother Ba, sent someone to hack and injure Old Four. Although Old Four knew it was you who did it, he was cunning and never accused you openly. He just hinted to everyone in public that it was you who did it. This is a smart move!"

"Even though there is no evidence to prove your point, you, Big Brother, have been put under suspicion. You can't clear yourself of the suspicion. There is no way for you to explain yourself!"

"Tenth brother, what nonsense are you talking about? The assassin who stabbed fourth brother last time was not sent by me." Yinsi exploded immediately like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and argued anxiously.

Li Yan frowned and pretended to be impatient: "Eighth Brother, now that Ninth Brother is gone, we are the closest people. It's been so long, I won't tell anyone. Besides, there are only two of us in this study, no one will believe me if I tell anyone! Can't you tell me the truth, Tenth Brother? Can't I, the Tenth Brother, be trusted by you, Eighth Brother!"
