It seems that Xu Youdao does not mean to be disrespectful to Nian Rusong at all.

Looking at Nian Rusong calmly, Xu Youdao bowed and said, "Don't worry, Lord Nian, His Royal Highness will not blame Lord Nian." ”

Of course.

The side meaning is also obvious.

If Nian Rusong dares to continue to investigate, it is difficult to say what the attitude of the Eighth Prince is.

Not a threat.

But it also has the meaning of warning.

Is it so easy to fool Nian Rusong?

"What if the official doesn't let him go, and continues to investigate?"

Nian Rusong said in a deep voice.

Xu Youdao's face flashed with surprise, as if he didn't expect Nian Rusong to say this.

"His Royal Highness may be unhappy. ”

Xu Youdao said truthfully.

"Humph!"

Nian Rusong snorted lightly, "Then do you know, if the official releases the people of the Sifang Building, how to report to Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty is angry, how should the official deal with himself?"

Xu Youdao was silent.

He was just passing on the news today, and he had no intention of discussing the consequences of this matter with Nian Rusong.

Thinking of this, Xu Youdao muttered: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there are eight highnesses to report to you, and you won't let your adults fall into a dangerous situation." ”

"I don't believe it. ”

Nian Rusong put down the next sentence, and his face sank immediately.

At first, he had a good impression of the Eighth Prince.

Handle government affairs with ease.

However, this salt tax incident made Nian Rusong's attitude towards the Eighth Prince change sharply.

All at once it was bad.

Xu Youdao pondered for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, Xu will definitely bring the words of Lord Nian to His Eighth Highness." ”

"Self-deed. ”

Nian Rusong waved his hand, not talking nonsense with Xu Youdao at all.

Xu Youdao turned around and walked outside.

Before he walked out, he suddenly turned his head and said to Nian Rusong: "I forgot to tell Lord Nian something, His Royal Highness is in Jiangnan at this time, maybe in a few days, His Royal Highness will come over to discuss with Lord Nian in person." ”

At first glance, when he heard that the Eighth Prince was in Jiangnan, Nian Rusong's face couldn't help but change, but he was pondering in his heart.

Did the eighth prince go to Jiangnan just for the salt tax?

But after thinking about it, I felt that this was not the case.

After all, it has only been a few days since he besieged the Sifang Tower.

If you want to rush from the capital to Yangzhou, how can it be possible without a half-moon scene?

It's not a strong person who returns to the virtual realm.

"Nian is waiting for His Royal Highness Eighth in Hanzhou. ”

Nian Rusong's face remained unchanged and said loudly.

"I hope so. ”

Xu Youdao smiled slightly, and walked straight away.

Today, it's a failure.

However, he was not the least frustrated.

There's the next stop.

"What are the eight princes doing in Yangzhou?"

After Xu Youdao left, Nian Rusong frowned and thought about it, and muttered.

"The prince is easily not allowed to leave Beijing, and the eighth prince is actually staying in Hanzhou, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be angry?"

Nian Rusong didn't believe that he came to the case of illegal salt.

Today, Xu Youdao is here, and it is likely that it is just a coincidence.

The Eighth Prince is in Yangzhou, and he is the person in charge behind the Sifang Building, so he naturally knows everything about what happened in Hanzhou.

Liu Bai suddenly said, "Could it be because of the previous rumor?"

It's speculation, but he always feels that eight or nine is not far from ten.

"What rumors?"

Nian Rusong didn't react for a while, looked at Liu Bai and suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty is going to Jiangnan this year, and just in the last month or two, hasn't there been such rumors?"

Liu Bai frowned and wondered.

Nian Rusong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said solemnly: "It should be like this, it seems that Your Majesty's going to Jiangnan is already a sure thing, and the Eighth Prince is probably also sent by His Majesty, so let's arrange it first."

After all, His Royal Highness is in charge of the Sifang Building, and his financial resources are not bad, and if he contacts several salt merchants in Jiangnan, His Majesty will basically have the cost to Jiangnan, and he doesn't have to take money out of the treasury.

Your Majesty still calculates this account clearly. ”

"I didn't expect the rumors to be true, and they were really groundless. ”

Liu Bai smiled bitterly, then looked at Nian Rusong and said, "What are you going to do next, and will you also report it to Your Majesty?"

Nian Rusong suddenly fell silent.

Before, he was indeed ready to present the affairs of Hanzhou to His Majesty as it was.

But think about it, Your Majesty is bent on going to Jiangnan, does he still have the heart to deal with government affairs?

Once the fold is presented, will it end without a problem?

Your Majesty won't look at it, then it will be in vain.

"It's better to wait for Your Majesty to go to Jiangnan, and your Excellency will report to Your Majesty in person. ”

Liu Bai suddenly proposed.

The corners of Nian Rusong's mouth twitched slightly, and her complexion was not too good-looking.

Isn't this in front of His Majesty, against the Eighth Prince?

Then he would really be dead.

It's better to take a roundabout strategy than to hit it head-on.

However, what Liu Bai said is indeed a good way.

When it comes to royalty, he finds it a little tricky.

Moreover, he hadn't thought much about it yet.

You know, the eighth prince is the prince's money bag.

Where did all that tax money go?

Could it be that the crown prince really doesn't know?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Nian Rusong felt.

After thinking about it, Nian Rusong made up his mind and said: "This official will first write a letter and report it to His Majesty, and then wait for His Majesty to go to Jiangnan, and then the official will present it in person, so that Your Majesty will be mentally prepared." ”

Just when the two of them were frowning and thinking hard about how to deal with such a tricky matter, Xu Youdao left the Yansi, but did not return to Yangzhou, but went straight to the Liumen Mansion.

Standing in front of the yamen, Xu Youdao smiled, and after asking the arrester to report his identity, after getting the answer, he tidied up his sleeves, and Shi Shiran walked in.

After nine bends and eighteen bends, Xu Youdao finally walked into the main hall.

At this time, Tang Yuan sat high on the main seat.

There were two people sitting on both sides of the next head, and at a glance, they knew that their cultivation was extremely good.

Xu Youdao is not a scholar who is powerless, and he also has some real kung fu under his hands.

It's a pity that the talent is not good, and above the martial arts, the achievements are not obvious.

But he has watched countless people, and he always has some experience.

Looking at this time, you can see that Tang Yuan is definitely a man of his word in the six doors of Hanzhou.

Thinking of this, Xu Youdao hurriedly bowed to Tang Yuan and said, "Under Xu Youdao, meet Tang Zhutou." ”

Tang Yuan lowered his eyelids slightly, and only then did he raise his eyes to look over when he heard the voice.

Seeing that this person was dressed as a Confucian and had a congenital realm of perfect cultivation, he immediately became interested.

This person doesn't seem to be that simple.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Xu here?"

Tang Yuan asked lightly.

The other two, Zhu Gaozhuo and Hou Yuanqing, also saw that this person was cultivated.

They are not young and pine, and they will not be deceived by each other's Confucian shirts.

This is nothing.

Naturally, they can all see it.

Xu Youdao knew that Tang Yuan didn't understand himself, so he said again: "I am a person from the Eighth Highness's mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, both Tang Yuan and Hou Yuanqing were stunned.

The Eighth Prince?

So fast?

The people of the Eight Princes came so quickly?

It was not surprising that the Eight Princes would send people to Hanzhou.

They arrested all the people in the Quartet.

It's still in the six-door prison.

If the Eight Princes didn't care, would they feel strange?

But no one would have thought that the Eighth Prince would come so quickly.

His subordinates have actually arrived in Hanzhou.

Hanzhou is not close to Kyoto.

"It turned out to be a person from the Eighth Highness's mansion, please take a seat. ”

Tang Yuan's speed of changing his face was unparalleled, and he immediately said with a smile.

Xu Youdao was stunned.

The sudden change in attitude towards Tang Yuan has not yet been reacted.

It didn't seem to be the same as he knew.

He was ordered by the Eighth Prince to go to Hanzhou to deal with the salt tax case.

Especially for the handling of the salt division and the six doors.

Before arriving in Hanzhou, he carefully investigated the personalities of Nian Rusong and Tang Yuan.

He was a little expected Nian Rusong's rejection of His Royal Highness's overtures.

So, after being rejected, he was not surprised.

On the contrary, it feels normal.

But Tang Yuan is a person who is rumored to be unruly and unruly.

Not long after arriving in Hanzhou, he killed two colleagues and completely controlled the six gates.

This is a very controlling person.

But when I saw it today, it was very different from what I remembered.

And this person is extremely strong.

It is said that he was undefeated by defeating two strong people in the Condensation Realm with the Innate Realm.

And now that he has broken through the Yuan Shen, there are also two Yuan Shen powerhouses under his command.

No matter how you look at it, the strength of the six doors of Hanzhou is more than a step stronger than the original.

This may also be the reason why Cang Xingchao did not blame him.

Thinking like this, Xu Youdao was not timid, and sat down according to his words.

At this time, Tang Yuan asked: "Mr. Xu has something important to do when he comes to my six gates, so you might as well say it directly, so as not to miss the important affairs of His Eighth Highness." ”

Xu Youdao was surprised for a while, and felt that Tang Yuan was very easy to speak.

So, Xu Youdao said bluntly: "When you go down to the six doors, it is a square building." ”

"Square Building?"

Tang Yuan frowned, and asked knowingly, "I don't know what Mr. Xu is referring to?"

Xu Youdao frowned slightly, feeling that Tang Yuan was pretending to be stupid, so he said directly: "Could it be that Lord Tang forgot that you arrested the people of the Sifang Building, and now you are still locked in the six-door prison."

Do you know how much silver His Royal Highness will lose every day when the Sifang Building of Yizhou is closed. You must know that His Royal Highness the Eighth is earning money for the imperial court, and once His Majesty blames him, I won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

"I see, what is my word? ”

Tang Yuan suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk about this matter, I don't know what Mr. Xu asked Tang to do, or what His Royal Highness can command." ”

Xu Youdao raised his eyebrows, feeling that Tang Yuan was too easy to speak.

After thinking about it, Xu Youdao said: "His Royal Highness hopes that Lord Tang can release the people of Sifanglou as soon as possible, Bai Nanweng has always been relied on by His Royal Highness and has been imprisoned in prison, which is really inappropriate." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”

Tang Yuan agreed.

On the side, Hou Yuanqing looked at Tang Yuan in great surprise, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Zhu Gaozhuo also had a strange expression, not knowing what Tang Yuan meant.

"Lord Tang agreed?"

Xu Youdao said in surprise.

Xu Youdao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally didn't come in vain.

Letting Bai Lao and them come out is the most important thing at the moment.

Moreover, he didn't lie, Bai Lao was indeed the person relied on by His Royal Highness.

Otherwise, he would not have been sent over to take charge of the Hanzhou Sifang Building.

This building has a vital role.

"I don't know if Mr. Xu can take the order of the young man?"

Just as Xu Youdao was pondering, Tang Yuan suddenly asked.

“？？？”

Xu Youdao was immediately stunned, and hurriedly asked: "What does Lord Tang mean by this, I still need an order from Lord Nian, and this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with Lord Nian." ”

"Hey, how can it not have anything to do with it?"

Tang Yuan sighed and said: "These people are just temporarily imprisoned in the Six Doors Prison, but they are the people who are ordered by Lord Nian to arrest them, and they are only temporarily using the Six Doors Prison, so without Lord Nian's order, this official has no right to release people." ”

Xu Youdao's tone was sluggish, but he didn't expect to make a moth.

He was still happy.

It's a pity that Nian Rusong will never agree to release him.

Thinking of this, Xu Youdao said: "Don't hide it from Lord Tang, as soon as I came out of the Salt Division, I arrived at the six gates." ”

Tang Yuan's face remained unchanged, as if he had expected it.

He ran into a wall in the Salt Division.

But what does it have to do with him.

"What does Mr. Xu mean?"

Tang Yuan looked up at Xu Youdao and asked suspiciously.

Xu Youdao thought about it, didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Lord Nian didn't agree to Zaixia's request, so there is no order from Lord Nian, I don't know if Lord Tang can release people in the face of His Royal Highness." ”

Tang Yuan suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Xu, this official can't be the master of this matter, and it must be approved by Lord Nian, otherwise Tang will release people without permission, and Lord Nian will join me to His Majesty, and the official can't eat and walk around, and I hope Mr. Xu can understand."

Tang promised that as long as Mr. Xu could get the order of the old man, the official would release him immediately and would not be embarrassed. ”

Xu Youdao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized that Tang Yuan was doing tai chi.

"Isn't Lord Tang going to give the Eighth Highness a child?"

Xu Youdao said in a deep voice.

Tang Yuan shook his head slightly and did not speak.

What the Eighth Prince, he really doesn't care about it.

A prince can't deter him.

With his current strength, no one can threaten him unless the powerhouse of the Returning Realm comes in person.

Therefore, what if Tang Yuan was against the yang and the yin.

"Without an order from the Elder Age, the official cannot release the person. ”

Tang Yuan insisted on his opinion.

And Zhu Gaozhuo was amazed in his heart, and he admired Tang Yuan's courage more and more.

If he and Nian Mingcheng were at this time, I am afraid that they would have already succumbed and let people go.

Anyway, he will never be an enemy of the Eighth Prince.

"Good!"

Xu Youdao spit out a word with difficulty, got up and arched his hand: "In this case, I will truthfully report the Hanzhou party to His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness." ”

The trip to Hanzhou was not pleasant.

Xu Youdao was a little depressed.

"Mr. Xu, please take it, this official also has difficulties, and he also looked at His Royal Highness Eighth to explain it clearly. ”

Tang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.

The faint threat to Xu Youdao was not taken into account at all.

"That being the case, His Royal Highness will go to Hanzhou in a few days to talk to Lord Tang and Lord Nian in person. ”

Xu Youdao snorted and said.

"How many days?"

Tang Yuan frowned slightly, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Hmph, His Royal Highness has been in Yangzhou for a few days, and there are still important things to deal with, so he was sent to Hanzhou, but I didn't expect the two adults to do this. ”

Xu Youdao snorted coldly, and then flicked his sleeves and left.

Before, he only felt that Nian Rusong was not easy to fool and was more difficult.

When I saw it today, this six-door catcher was not easy to get along with.

Too sleek.

Only by asking His Royal Highness to come forward can this matter be settled.

He knew very well that His Royal Highness didn't want them to continue to investigate.

Something will happen later.

"The Eighth Prince has arrived in Yangzhou?"

Tang Yuan muttered in surprise.

When the words fell, he suddenly remembered that Lu Tianxing had reminded him of something.

Your Majesty wants to go down to Jiangnan.

Could it be that the Eighth Prince is here to fight the front station?

Quite possibly!
