85_85279When he walked out of the post station, Yuelongcheng specially went to the small sedan chair to take a look, and left for a long time.

I asked, "Who is this black-robed man?" ”

"It's not Han anyway." Yue Long Cheng frowned and said.

"Could it be ......" I looked at Yuelong City in disbelief.

Yue Long Cheng nodded, "Ten have* is the envoy of the Cochin Country. However, he arrived in Beijing ahead of schedule, and did not live in the Jiaozhi Pavilion specially built by the emperor, but lived in a remote post station. Then ......"

"Then go to General Lan's mansion every day!" I looked at Yue Long Cheng in horror, "The person who colluded with the envoys of the Jiaozhi Kingdom is not King Yan, but Lan Yu!" ”

"I heard that this morning dynasty, General Lan tried his best to persuade the emperor to calm his anger, and King Yan guarded Beiping, which has a great credit, and he should not be too harsh, for fear that Beiping will be in turmoil." Yue Long Cheng said word by word.

A cold sweat broke out behind my back, "You mean, General Lan wants to blame King Yan?" ”

Yue Long Cheng shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Blame is only one aspect, think about it, in addition to General Lan receiving envoys, did he do anything? Who is secretly telling King Yan in the emperor's ear? ”

"Nanzhen Fuji! You mean, Nanjin has been bought by General Blue?! I couldn't believe Yue Long Cheng's inference, "But the Jinyi Guard Department is the emperor's most secret manpower and weapon, and our names and numbers are not announced to the public, although Lan Yu is the founding general, he doesn't have such great ability!" ”

"I returned to Jingshi earlier than you, and I was investigating this matter. Do you remember the secret that Yang Ying told me at the beginning? Yue Long Cheng asked thoughtfully.

I was a little confused, at that time, Yang Ying kept saying that this secret could exchange his grandson's life, but he told Yue Longcheng alone, and Yue Longcheng didn't tell me afterwards. As a qualified brocade guard, the first two things we learn are to keep secrets, and the other is not to inquire. So I haven't asked Yuelongcheng what Yang Ying told him, Yuelongcheng is mentioning it now, I'm afraid that the secret Yang Ying said has a lot to do with tonight's incident.

"What secret, are you going to sue me?"

Yue Longcheng nodded, "What Yang Ying said about this matter, not only is it important, but the most important thing is that it also has an important connection with us, I have been hesitant to report it, and until today, I can't tell right from wrong." Yi'er, although you are simple-minded, but you don't have to worry too much, sometimes you are more decisive than me, I sue you about this, do you want to report it, you decide, okay? ”

Looking at Yue Longcheng's serious face, I knew that this matter must be very strict, and even he couldn't make up his mind, I was afraid that I couldn't bear it, but I couldn't ask him to carry it like this alone, I gritted my teeth, "Say it." ”

"The Yang family flourished in Beiping for a while, on the one hand, because of the emperor's grace, on the other hand, the Yang family has strong assets and makes friends in the local area, including many people in the officialdom, so it has formed a large power group. It's just that Yang Jiaming has so much property on his face, and it's no problem to be a squire, but it's a bit overwhelming to want to get so many powerful people to spend this amount of money. His money was obtained by buying and selling privately. ”

"What kind of deal makes so much money?"

"Smuggling the arms of the country. Although the country of Jiaozhi was a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty, the barbarians in the land of projectiles invented a powerful weapon - muskets! This kind of thing is said to be able to kill people from a hundred paces away, and it is extremely lethal, and as long as the army has this kind of weapon, it can be said to be invincible. ”

"You mean, what Yang Ying smuggled is gunpowder?" I really can't believe that Yang Ying, an ordinary businessman, would dare to smuggle such a thing!

"Yes. His buyer, a local in Beiping, is ......" Yue Longcheng glanced at me, my heart tightened, I was very afraid that he would say that name, but he still confided, "In Beiping, it is the king of Yan." The person who snitched the emperor did not wronged him. ”。
