Yang Zhongxian heard the invitation in Lan Lie's words, and his heart moved. He is an aspiring person, and he has also experienced a short period of scenery, and now the court has been silent for a long time, and the activity in his head has not diminished by half at all. The Marquis of Dingguo used to be a legendary figure, and this resurrection is another storm in just one month, if you can borrow his east wind, of course, it is an excellent thing. He was excited, deliberately stabilized his mind, and continued to say tentatively: "What does Master Hou mean? ”

Lan Lie leaned out his tone and said leisurely, "Why does Lord Yang ask knowingly? ”

Dingguo Hou was willing to give him a chance to show his ambitions, Yang Zhongxian suddenly became much more down-to-earth, and immediately got up and bowed: "If the lower officials can do their best, they will do their best." ”

"The person who has high hopes for the imperial brother is really a little bold." Lan Lie simply praised it, without expressing more appreciation, and asked lightly, "Guo Maohuai still has some value in this matter, Ben Hou is going to find another place for him to live, can Lord Yang take care of him for Ben Hou for two days?" ”

Yang Zhongxian was stunned, unable to make a decision immediately: Dingguo Hou wants to use him as a target? If Guo Maohuai is sent to the Yang Mansion, his home will become the center of the whirlpool, and even his own safety will have to be carefully considered from now on. This piece of hot potato is too expensive, and not everyone can take it. In addition, he also needs to figure out, why did the Marquis of Dingguo look for him?

Lan Lie poured out without urging, and stretched his waist, as if he was talking about a very ordinary trivial matter: "Lord Yang will go back and think about it for two days, and after thinking clearly, you can send someone to sue Sù Benhou." After speaking, he beckoned Lin Yu to send off the guests.

Yang Zhongxian bowed his hand and said goodbye, and the number of courtesies did not pull down half a point. Lan Lie looked at his back with interest, and when he caught a glimpse of Xia Haojun who walked in, he knew what he wanted to say: "Did you hear it over there in Luoxia Garden?" ”

"She just came over and stood outside the door for a moment before going back."

Lan Lietian had expected such a development, and arranged it in an orderly manner: "Inform Mo Changkong that there is a change in the plan, and Yang Zhongxian will not agree, if he agrees, let him cooperate with Yang Zhongxian." You are in a group with Zhanqin, and Lin Yu follows me. ”

Xia Haojun was a little puzzled, and did not immediately agree: "Master Hou, do you want to go in person?" How can this be done? How could Hou Ye be allowed to take risks in person? ”

Lan Lie listened to this, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then it depends on whether you and Mo Changkong have the ability to take some risks for Ben Hou." What's more, Ben Hou is in charge himself, no matter who comes, even if he has great ability, he can't get any benefits! ”

A few days later, Yang Zhongxian expressed his willingness to cooperate with Dingguohou. Lan Lie happily passed on the order, instructing Mo Changkong to protect Yang Zhongxian from now on. However, in the afternoon of the same day, Yang Zhongxian brought back to the house not Guo Maohuai himself, but Jin Xu, who had been imprisoned for two years.

When he was brought out of the prison of Dali Temple, Jin Xu was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. Yang Zhongxian debated carefully for a long time before recognizing him, and looked at Lan Lietian in surprise. A sensible jailer had already moved the chair seat, wiped and wiped it before inviting Lan Lie to sit down, then took two steps back and stood respectfully on the side of the chair, waiting for orders. Lan Lie leaned into the chair honestly and unceremoniously, and looked back at Yang Zhongxian with a smile.

Mo Changkong explained: "I heard that in the Jin Xu case, Lord Yang contributed a lot, so I must be very familiar with him. That's why Hou Ye made this arrangement. ”

Yang Zhongxian can only accept it. When he went back, he couldn't help but ask Mo Changkong: "Why does Master Hou want to find a lower official?" ”

Mo Changkong didn't show the slightest emotion, and explained to him in detail: "Because adults have been very unattractive recently, they are the best candidates to confuse people's eyes." Only then did Yang Zhongxian understand: he had no foundation in the court and could not afford to take on a big responsibility; But Mo Changkong is an important person around Dingguohou. Fiction and reality, deliberately making people unable to guess the arrangements of the marquis.

The next morning, when the dynasty was about to disperse, the emperor ordered Qu Shao's list and asked seemingly casually: "I heard that someone brought a prisoner from Dali Temple to bring back to the house yesterday?" ”

Yang Zhongxian's heart jumped, and he heard Qu Shaojie's voice: "Back to the emperor, there is indeed this matter, it is the arrangement of the Marquis of Dingguo." Because the emperor had a holy decree to ask the lower officials to try their best to cooperate with the Hou Ye to investigate the case, he did not dare to stop it. ”

Since the beginning of last year, the Marquis of Dingguo has not been in the early court, and today is no exception. Yang Zhongxian couldn't understand the emperor's meaning, and took the initiative to come out and explain: "The Marquis of Dingguo has a saying, there are many people in Dali Temple, and in order to ensure the safety of the prisoners, it is more appropriate to place them elsewhere." Because Xia Guan and this prisoner are fellow villagers, the trial of the case will be two points more certain, and he is currently living in Xia Guan's mansion temporarily. ”

Hearing that it was arranged by the Marquis of Dingguo, the emperor didn't ask any more, and the focus of the court's political discussion quickly shifted to the side matters. Yang Zhongxian secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat. He guessed what the emperor meant, probably in order to cooperate with the Marquis of Dingguo, confirm the authenticity of the matter and deliberately publicize it, so he deliberately did not identify the identity of the prisoner.

In particular, the Marquis of Dingguo also specially invited someone to do a simple disguise for Jin Xu.

Jin Xu knew almost nothing about Guo Maohuai's case, and no one cared about it in prison, and it has long been forgotten by people. No one would have thought that he would be the prisoner who was proposed. Yang Zhongxian is a native of Jinzhou, and when he specifically mentioned "fellow villagers", people will immediately think that the famous Jinzhou criminal minister Guo Maohuai is also from Jinzhou. In this way, Jin Xu became Guo Maohuai's stand-in, attracting people's attention, and Dingguohou's plan was mostly successful.

Xian Ge has been paying close attention to the movements of the Marquis of Dingguo, and when he learned that "Guo Maohuai" was sent to Yang Zhongxian's mansion, he immediately began to prepare for the assassination. Unexpectedly, two days later, new news came out: Xia Haojun, the housekeeper of the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion, holding the warrant of the Dingguo Marquis, also took away a sentence of Jinzhou death row prisoner from Dali Temple.

Before he had time to analyze these two pieces of information, Dingguo Hou personally went to Dali Temple again, and then "relapsed the old disease", entrusted the trial of the case to Qu Shaojie of Dali Temple, and he never returned home, in the name of recuperation, he turned around and lived in Cumulus Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, with only Lin Yu by his side. The people of the ant hall keenly discovered that when they left Dali Temple, there was one more guard of the Marquis of Dingguo.

The information was sent back to the cabinet, and Mr. He, who was exquisitely thoughtful, couldn't help frowning: Yang Zhongxian's mansion, Dingguohou's mansion, Dali Temple prison, and Cumulus Temple, which one is the real Guo Maohuai?

The pavilion master had already given the order to assassinate, so he naturally had to do his best and ordered someone to go through all these four places. However, after seeing the message from Eagle Hall, he could no longer maintain a calm attitude. The Dali Temple that Qu Shaojie is in charge of is just a disguise, and it is easy to find out. As for the other three places, they hit the nails of different Cheng dù.

"Cumulus Temple is just an ordinary temple, I don't know who the Marquis of Dingguo brought in?" Mr. He asked irritably.

The people in the Eagle Hall lowered their heads: "Long before Dingguo Hou took over, Mo Changkong began to arrange people to Cumulus Temple. Now there are only two old monks left who ignore mundane things, and the little novices have all been sent away and replaced by the dead soldiers of the Hou Mansion. Pilgrims are only allowed to burn incense and worship the Buddha in the front hall, and all outside the front hall are closed. ”

It turned out that it had been arranged for a long time. Mr. He sneered, according to that person's methods, it was not unexpected. He thought of the people around Lan Lietian, and asked instead, "What about nineteen?" ”

"Stay in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, Lan Lietian didn't take her with him."

"Thirteen has a lot to do with her, so let Thirteen find a way to contact her and find out the identity of the person in the Hou Mansion."

When they first met, he still felt a little pity for this beautiful girl. Now that he is a strategist in the cabinet, his position has changed, everything must be considered from the perspective of the idle pavilion, and she can only be a tool for acting. If there's anything special, it's just that this tool is more handy.

"As for Yang Zhongxian's mansion, since the 'guest' is easy to look like and can't recognize his identity, let Twelve pass. Be sure to find out who he really is. Mr. He instructed in an orderly manner, and after a little thought after speaking, he added, "Don't approach rashly, Eleven will go with her, and be responsible for creating a chance for her." She is no match for Mo Changkong. ”

"Yes."

In Cumulus Temple, Lan Lietian was leaning on the side of the desk intact, looking a little sick and injured. "The recurrence of old diseases" is just an excuse. He was idly flipping through a scroll of scriptures, and heard Lin Yu report: "Master Hou, there is movement in the house." ”

Lan Lie stretched and asked nonchalantly, "It's time too." What did she find? ”

Lin Yu knew that he was asking Nangong Xueruo: "I haven't found anything yet." Manager Xia only summoned that she had begun to leave Luoxia Garden in recent days, presumably there was some plan, and the people behind the scenes had already begun to move, telling us to be careful. ”

Lan Lie tilted to indicate that he understood, waved him to step back, leaned back in the chair, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Mo Changkong and Xia Haojun are very reassuring, he originally planned to let them bring a stand-in to make the illusion that "Guo Maohuai is locked up in Cumulus Temple", and leave the real Guo Maohuai in Dali Temple, personally supervise and tempt the bait. It's just that "Mr. He" made him care very much, so he temporarily changed his plan and pulled Yang Zhongxian in.

On the second day after moving to Cumulus Temple, Su Lihe was keenly aware that Dingguo Hou was about to make a big move. If he avoided disrupting the plan of the prince, he could not afford to be blamed afterwards. So he didn't come to visit in person, but only cautiously asked someone to hand over a post, in the name of greetings, to remind the Marquis of Dingguo Sun Xianjing. The Marquis of Dingguo glanced at it twice and threw it aside.

If it falls directly into his hands, captures him alive, and makes sure that there is no threat in the future, it doesn't hurt to hand him over to Su Lihe. Otherwise, no one has the right to ask who he wants to deal with. When it comes to the real fight, all kinds of variables may arise, and he has no mind or willingness to spend that effort to deliberately plan something for others.

Although Lan Lietian was not in the mansion, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion was still heavily defended. Thirteen thought about it, and took advantage of the night to find Qu Shaojie and ask him to contact Nineteen on his behalf. He wasn't worried that Nineteen's identity would be discovered by Qu Shaojie. Nangong Xueruo is now a woman with Lan Lietian, and Qu Shaojie is a man, so he has to avoid it in both sense and reason.

Thirteen only drew a symbol for Qu Shaojie and asked him to stay in the Hou Mansion. When you see it, you will understand what to do.

Qu Shaojie had always doubted the identity of Thirteen, so he cautiously did not ask more. ――If you know too much, you will become a problem. He believed that the Marquis of Dingguo had already noticed it, otherwise he would not have moved to Cumulus Temple to "recuperate". Compared with this overly cautious Jianghu guest, he believed in the methods of the Marquis of Dingguo, and he did not immediately oppose it at the moment, but just said to the thirteenth in a harsh manner: "None of the information you provided before was directly related to the case. ”

He tried his best to draw a line with this man. The identity is not clear, and it is at odds with the position of the Marquis of Dingguo, so it will not end well.

Thirteen was calm: "If it weren't for my intelligence, Lord Qu wouldn't be standing here at this moment, trying to bargain with me intact. Those troubles and assassinations in the open and in the dark, do Lord Qu really think that you can hide from it by yourself? ”

Qu Shaojie did not back down: "This official thinks that his life will not be short-lived, at most he will make a big fuss." But you, with the new identity prepared by the official, why are you reluctant to leave? Could it be that you are waiting for the case to be decided? ”

Thirteen smiled faintly: "Your Excellency is suspecting that I have something to do with this case?" So far, it doesn't hurt to sue you: I do know who did it, and I've been in the same boat with him. The ship capsized and I died, so I won't say anything. ”

"When do you disembark?" Qu Shaojie asked. He is an official of Dali Temple, and he can't stand the fact that he has repeatedly violated the law.

"It's coming." Thirteen played a Tai Chi, "Please do your best to pass on the message, so that I can get off the boat." ”

Qu Shaojie was skeptical, and finally the idea of being alone prevailed, and he promised to go to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion tomorrow. Thirteen was not a little relaxed in his heart, but a little indescribable and inexplicably melancholy.

He could feel that the shape of the shì at this time was like a curved bow that was pulled apart, the bowstring was tightly taut, and it could send out sharp arrows at any moment; And it seems to break at any moment.

Xian Ge spent a lot of effort this time, and the Marquis of Dingguo, Lan Lietian, also made careful arrangements. The day the fuse was lit may be his chance. The new identity has been arranged, and Thirteen has just been reconfirmed; The red pills prepared for Nineteen were brought with him, those were originally his share, except for Eleven, no one knew that he had quit. After finding a way to meet with Nineteen, as long as you can throw off the people in the Eagle Hall, you can leave at any time. Then he will help Nineteen, control the number of times he takes Hongdan, and slowly quit his dependence on Hongdan, so that there will be no thirteen and nineteen in this world from now on.

For Qu Shaojie, the Hou Mansion is not a forbidden place. At the beginning, he came to give the prince to send the dossier, and he went in and out many times. This time, he told Xia Haojun that the files he had brought over before were going to be brought back to Dali Temple, and Xia Haojun politely welcomed him in for tea, making Zhanqin stare at the people who were coming in and out, and moved all the relevant files.

These contents had long been deliberately memorized by Lan Lietian, and the dossier was actually useless, and he was happy to do this favor.

When Nangong Xue heard that there were guests in the house, she guessed that it had something to do with Thirteen, and immediately went to see the excitement with great interest. It turned out that Qu Shaojie only brought two servants, sitting in the front hall to eat tea in a regular manner, without the slightest small movement, and when they were actually the guards of the Hou Mansion who came in and out, he was a little disappointed.
