readx;? At night, the northwest corner of Jingzhao Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Several dark shadows quickly climbed over the courtyard wall, fell silently, two starlight flashed in the darkness, and the only two guards at the entrance of the prison immediately fell.

Wang Ce and Zhou Kang put away the blowpipe and beckoned slightly, and Zheng Tai and others behind them followed and rushed into the prison together.

In the prison, under the dim light, the table full of wine and food was already a mess, and seven or eight men dressed in jailer clothes were lying on the table, some lying on the ground, their faces and bodies were full of traces of wine and vegetable soup, and their mouths were snoring like earth-shattering.

"This is the cell boss?" Zheng Tai kicked one of the old men in his fifties, teased the old man's roe deer mouse face with his foot, and said with a smile: "Zheng Zheng iron bones look like this?"

"Don't be verbose, change your clothes!" Wang Ce glared at him, then leaned over and began to pull the jailer's clothes off.

"Can you not change it?" Zheng Taigang bent down, the strong smell of wine came to his nose, and his face was disgusted: "This dress is too dirty!"

"Don't change?" Wang Ce snorted coldly: "Do you want to just wear this and walk in?"

"If only there was smoke that could stun all the guys inside......" Zheng Tai frowned and thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "Lao Chai must have it there......!

"There are a lot of Jiangyang thieves locked up here, and ordinary smoke can't guarantee that none of them will leak!" Zhou Kang hurriedly interrupted Zheng Tai's reverie.

"Damn!" Zheng Tai had no choice but to endure the smell of wine and sweat, and began to pick up the clothes on the jailer's body.

After changing their clothes, they left two people outside to guard the door to warn, while Wang Ce and the three of them walked towards the depths of the prison with dim oil lamps.

Xu Chen's cell was in the deepest part of the Jingzhao Mansion prison.

Hearing the sound of the key opening the door, Xu Chen, who was sitting on the bed and resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

"Big brother!"

Wang Ce and the three of them all entered the cell, and Zhou Kang stood by the door, always paying attention to the empty corridor.

"Tell me what's going on outside!" Xu Chen asked.

"Big brother, let's leave first!" Zheng Tai looked left and right, frowned, and said, "This place is so dirty, maybe there are rats ......"

Xu Chen glanced at him: "You eat less rats?"

"That's an emergency......

Wang Ce didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly reported to Xu Chen about the situation outside these days: "I heard that Brother Sun said that the teacher was beaten by the emperor, and Chen Xilie united with another big eunuch in the palace to take advantage of Qin Tianjian's performance......"

"Yang Yuhuan was expelled from the palace by the emperor with Gao Lishi a few days ago, and stayed in Yuzhenguan for a while, and the second brother just returned to the palace on the day he got married......"

"This morning, Xiao Jiong sent a letter to the emperor about Pei's complaint against his eldest brother for hurting people, and the emperor has issued a clear decree for Jingzhao Mansion to thoroughly investigate ......"

"In addition, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, more and more officials have been impeached these days, Dali Temple is convicting people every day, and the internal guards are basically raiding homes every day......

"Prince Li Heng also killed a lot of people in private, most of them were subordinates of the mansion, and they should be eyeliners planted everywhere, but the strange thing is that these people have been in the prince's mansion for many years, that is to say, as early as many years ago, many people have noticed Prince Li Heng......"

"Headed by the seven clans and five surnames, the wealthy families of the Northland are also very active these days, openly and secretly, and there are feasts and drinks almost every day......

Xu Chen listened quietly, but asked, "What about the second child?"

"Second brother...... The second brother said that there can't be no one at home, so he ......" Wang Ce's eyes flashed, and he considered the words: "I don't know the decision of the eldest brother, and the second brother is also ready for a big retreat at home." ”

Xu Chen frowned, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What about Li Linfu?"

"No!" Wang Ce shook his head: "He seems to be the quietest person in Chang'an City now!"

"Of course, it may also be the reason why our tentacles can't reach him yet......"

After asking about the big picture, Xu Chen began to care about his situation: "What about the woman of the Yang family, who is giving her ideas?"

It's not that Xu Chen looks down on Mrs. Qiuguo, with that stupid woman's IQ, it is absolutely impossible to think of such a clever way to come to Jingzhao Mansion to complain.

When something happens to ordinary people, they naturally go to the yamen to complain. But as a lady of the country, she has the privilege of entering and leaving the palace at any time, and once this woman has something, she will definitely go directly to the palace to find the emperor. After all, in her eyes, as an emperor, what else can't be done in this world?

And if you go through the regular procedures to file a complaint in Jingzhao Mansion, you will not be impeached by the imperial historian for favoritism and abuse of power, and you can make a decision before acting.

The most critical part is to calculate Xiao Jiong's selfishness, which can not only take the opportunity to see Xiao Jiong's attitude towards Xu Fan, but also use this as a guide to see and even disrupt Xu Fan's layout, and even Li Linfu, who married Xu Fan in private, will be affected to some extent.

It can be said that if Xu Chen is sent to Xiao Jiong's hand, several giants in the court will be moved by the wind right now. If the current situation is compared to a pool of dark stagnant water, this fall is like throwing a big stone at this pool of stagnant water, and at the same time the water splashes, several hideous beasts hidden in the water will also reveal their figures, and even turn over the clouds and rain, so that people can take the opportunity to see the depth of the pool water.

The person who can come up with such a trick is definitely a person who has a considerable understanding of the situation in the court.

At least, the connection between Xiao Jiong and Xu Chen, even if they participated in the Great Dynasty Meeting that day and were ranked above the Golden Palace, few people really knew why Xiao Jiong would do something to Xu Chen, who couldn't hit the eight poles.

With the intelligence of Mrs. Qiuguo, it is almost impossible to understand such a complex relationship.

"This is easier to check!" Wang Ce replied: "Pei's family first went to Yang Guozhong's mansion that day, then entered the palace and went to Yang Yuhuan, and then went out of the palace to Jingzhao Mansion. ”

As for Chang'an's intelligence network, since Peng Ze first brought a group of people into Beijing, Xu Chen has invested a lot of financial resources, taking advantage of the general trend known in advance, focusing on the infiltration of the main figures in it.

And Yang Guozhong, a distant relative of the Yang family who came to Beijing for thousands of miles to fight the autumn breeze, when he first arrived in the capital and his statement was not obvious, Wang Ce had already begun to observe and infiltrate him in accordance with the goal set by his eldest brother, and planted a lot of eyeliner in the Yang Mansion.

Even Yang Guozhong and his wife were happy a few times at night, and the young man was clear, not to mention that Mrs. Qiu Guo came to the house and Yang Guozhong locked up in the house in the morning in the daytime.

But after all, when people are happy, there is no third person in the house, what did they say......

The people who can use it with confidence on Xu Chen's side are all young people, and the good habit of listening to the corner has not yet reached the realm of conditioned reflex.

The tastes of young people are also biased towards young and beautiful young women, and the taste of half-aged and rough old men has really not been cultivated.

As for the fact that Mrs. Yu Guo went out to toss and turn in the palace and Jingzhao Mansion, the young man who did not send someone to follow him was also not clear.

Of course, it is even more impossible to know the decisive role that Cheng Ruoshui played in resurrection.

"Yang Guozhong......" Xu Chen exhaled slowly and muttered, "Has he finally played?"

Wang Ce was puzzled, just like he didn't understand why his eldest brother would put such a gangster in the same position of concern as Li Linfu.

"That way, things are much clearer......"

Xu Chen has been speculating about Mrs. Qiuguo's motives for the past three days, and in the absence of evidence, I really can't figure out whether this stupid woman took such a step unintentionally or intentionally, and if so, who gave her such an idea.

Now, after figuring out that it is Yang Guozhong behind him, he is undoubtedly a lot more sure-footed.

Yang Guozhong this time is at most using himself to throw stones to ask for directions, and he has not yet posed a real threat to himself.

After understanding the initial motivation, there is no doubt that you will be able to solve the current dilemma.

"In this way, Xiao Jiong should come and negotiate terms with me in a few days......" Xu Chen smiled coldly: "If you want to eat my things, I'm afraid he won't have such a good appetite!"

"But the day after tomorrow is the spring scientific examination, I'm afraid that the eldest brother may not be able to catch up with the ......" Wang Ce looked worried: "After all, the Jiedu envoy is a local magistrate and a military position, and there is no reasonable excuse to stay in Chang'an for a long time. ”

"It's a nuisance...... indeed"

Originally, for the imperial examination, Xu Chen's mentality was only focused on participation, and perhaps he also had the opportunity to experience the title of the gold list that he had dreamed of when he was in school.

But right now, trouble keeps coming to the door, and I can't hide if I want to, if I can't stay in Chang'an reasonably and legally, once I am caught by someone, it will be very likely to destroy all the layouts in Chang'an.

"That's good!" After thinking about it, Xu Chen made a decision: "Let's go find Xiao Jiong now, since he doesn't come to me, then I'll go find him!"

With that, Xu Chen stood up and walked towards the door.

Naturally, there was no such thing in the original plan, but at such a juncture, if you don't take the initiative, this time the spring will definitely be useless.

Anyway, in the Xuanzong Dynasty, the imperial examination was still meticulous, and scholars with official status could also participate, and there were many people in the court who wore many hats.

Go to the science field and take a trip, come out and arrange an idle job in the Chang'an Yamen, and then lead the Ryukyu Festival envoy from afar, which is reasonable and reasonable.

An Lushan has a civil official position in the imperial history, and there are nobles who are envoys and only receive Yulu and do not take office, and I don't know how many there are in Chang'an City.

It's just that he is also the festival envoy of a wild and smoky land, and Xu Chen still has the ability to get it.

The four of them walked out of the prison all the way, and there were a pair of staring eyes in the cells along the way, and they didn't have much curiosity about the jailer taking people away late at night, although the three jailers looked a little dumbfounded, but this young man in a green shirt didn't look like an ordinary prisoner, and in the spirit of the attitude that more things are better than less, no prisoner dared to stand up and question it.

However, Xu Chen, who had successfully escaped from the prison all the way, stopped at the door.

Not far away, two fires suddenly lit up in the darkness, and under the torches, a handsome boy sat on a delicate mahogany chair.

On a cold day, a folding fan in his right hand gently tapped the palm of his left hand, looking at Xu Chen and the others with burning eyes, and suddenly laughed: "It's so rare! Such an interesting thing as robbing a prison can make my son ......."
