The northern land is not as good as the south, the history of raising horses is much longer, and the knowledge of various horses is also extremely rich, so many things that Fang Ling talked about are things that everyone has never heard of, plus Fang Ling is not boring knowledge, and some interesting descriptions are added, everyone listens to it with relish, and from time to time they are amused by Fang Ling's words.

Although all the dignitaries present were dignitaries, Fang Ling was the center of everyone, and everyone was impressed by the knowledge and humor shown by this son of a big family in the north, and even Jiang Wenshan nodded again and again when he heard it, and asked a few words from time to time.

Every year after the Jockey Club, Jiang Wenshan will invite officials and businessmen to dinner, although there are conversations during the banquet, but the atmosphere is not as good as today's one-thousandth, and the time is not too much for half an hour.

However, after eating lunch today, everyone was still interested for an hour, and no one had any intention of leaving the table.

Jun Cheng finally couldn't help coughing lightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, there are still some important matters to deal with in the afternoon, which need to be presented to the king." ”

Jiang Wenshan was interrupted, and suddenly felt excited, and glared at him with annoyance.

Jun Cheng was obviously familiar with his temper, and he didn't do it, but he just smiled and said: "Fang Gongzi is very knowledgeable, this will not be talked about for three days and three nights, otherwise it will not hurt to let Fang Gongzi come to the mansion at night and talk until dawn." ”

Jiang Wenshan's expression calmed down a little at this time, and he said to Fang Ling: "Young Master Fang, then you come back in the evening, let's talk about horses while drinking, what do you think?"

Fang Ling couldn't ask for it, since Jiang Wenshan was so interested in horses, he might be able to find the information he wanted if he stayed in the mansion, not only that, if he could follow Jiang Wenshan to Yizhou, then many things would be much easier to act.

Seeing that Fang Ling was appreciated by the county guard, and invited him to the mansion, although everyone felt surprised, they took it for granted, after all, Jiang Wenshan was also a person who loved horses and was obsessed.

After leaving the mansion, Fang Ling asked Lu Bei to inform Meng Zhiyuan and the others that they did not need to inquire about the information in the county, but rushed to Yizhou City to collect information about Yizhou.

Later in the evening, Fang Ling came to the mansion as promised, and had dinner with Jiang Wenshan and Jiang Dafu in the small hall, and the three of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was more harmonious than during the day.

After talking for a while, Jiang Wenshan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really better to listen to your words, it's better to read for ten years, Fang Gongzi, your horse raising scripture is really embarrassing." If you weren't just traveling, the official would really want to keep you in the mansion and help me train the horse. ”

Fang Ling said with a smile: "Lord Jiang is so important, Xiaomin feels very honored, although he can't live in the mansion for a long time, but he is willing to contribute to the Jockey Club." ”

Jiang Dafu couldn't help but say on the side: "My lord, Fang Gongzi just went to the horse market for a turn, and he was able to pick out such two good horses, then he would definitely be able to pick a better one." After all, there are not only horse farms in the county, but also in several large counties around the county. ”

A million-level county like this can almost be compared with an ordinary state town, and the counties under its jurisdiction can be compared with an ordinary county town, so it is naturally normal to have a horse market.

Jiang Wenshan suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "This is a good idea, the three horses that are ready to participate are already quite good, but the participating horses in other counties are not ordinary goods, if Fang Gongzi can choose better horses for this county, this official will definitely be rewarded." ”

Fang Ling said with a smile: "Thanks to your lordship, I have been rewarded with ten thousand gold, so I will be walking around the surrounding counties in the past few days, so that I can choose better horses." ”

Fang Ling didn't show any greed for money at all, and secretly patted Jiang Wenshan's horses with these words, the latter couldn't help but nod his head in appreciation, and then called in an entourage, asked him to take a small waist card and handed it to Fang Ling, and said with a smile: "This is the waist card of the guards in the palace, Fang Gongzi, you take this thing, and the local officials will see me as if they were there, so it will be much more convenient for you to pick up the horses." ”

Fang Ling took the waist card, and suddenly remembered the three tiger head waist cards, I am afraid that the weight of that thing is more important than this waist card, this thought flashed, and another attendant suddenly walked outside, bowed down and said: "My lord, Lord Zheng is here!"

Jiang Wenshan was stunned for a moment, and said to Fang Ling: "Young Master Fang, wait here for a while, I will go to the front hall to meet the guests." ”

After seeing the two leave, Fang Ling took the opportunity of going to the toilet to go around to the side of the front hall, and saw a middle-aged official dressed as a lieutenant standing in the front hall.

As soon as Jiang Wenshan walked into the front hall, he arched his hand and laughed, "Lord Zheng, what kind of wind blew you here?"

The final official smiled faintly and said: "Lord Jiang, don't come unharmed, the lower officials are here on the king's secret order." ”

Jiang Wenshan and Jiang Dafu suddenly looked stunned, and finally the official "touched" a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Jiang Wenshan.

Since the letter was facing away from him, Fang Ling didn't read what was written on it clearly, but just pricked up his ears and didn't let go of any sound in the hall.

After reading the letter, Jiang Wenshan frowned slightly, and said, "Lord Zheng, please tell the king, I know what to do." ”

In the end, the official arched his hand and said, "Then the official will leave." ”

The final official came in a hurry, but also in a hurry, in a few words, not only cautious but also without dragging his feet, Fang Ling looked at his style, and estimated that this person was the confidant of the king of Yizhou.

After the final official left, Jiang Wenshan suddenly and inexplicably laughed, and threw the letter to Jiang Dafu, Jiang Dagan read it carefully, and was about to speak, but Jiang Wenshan stood up first, and retreated the entourage outside to a farther place, and then signaled Jiang Dafu to speak.

Jiang Dafu said with a sleepy face: "Hasn't it been more than ten years since the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, why did the king ask us to find the whereabouts of those subordinates again? ”

Jiang Wenshan said lightly: "As courtiers, sometimes we have to know how to figure out the king's intentions, and sometimes we must not figure it out. ”

Jiang Dafu nodded, but sighed again: "My lord is right, but I have been trapped in my heart for more than ten years, when the king secretly ordered you and me to bring Rong Guogong and others back to the country, saying that it was to save their lives, however, the king is very cautious, it is impossible to risk disobeying the holy order to save Rong Guogong's family, there must be a reason to take the risk, I don't know how Rong Guogong ......is now."

When Fang Ling heard this, he couldn't help but hold his breath and listen carefully, but before Jiang Dafu's words were finished, Jiang Wenshan suddenly waved his hand and said profoundly: "There were countless advisers and staff in the palace back then, but the king chose you and me to act alone, you shouldn't be unclear about the reason for this, right?"

Jiang Dageng said: "Of course, I know that among so many staff, only me and the adults have the tightest tone, and they have always only acted without asking. ”

Jiang Wenshan said calmly: "Yes, because of this, you and I also have the position we have now. Therefore, even if you have doubts and confusion in your heart, you must bury them in your heart when you die! Even if you and I are the same, there is no need to talk about such things. ”

Jiang Dafu had no choice but to nod and said with difficulty: "Then how should we start this matter of looking for the people of the Rongguo Mansion now?"

Jiang Wenshan smiled and said: "It took so much effort more than ten years ago to find it, do you think it is still possible to find it now?" Moreover, we have not relaxed this matter in the past few years, and we have investigated the outsiders in Acropolis County according to the order to see if there are any people from Shicheng Country, but haven't we found anything?"

Jiang Dafu said: "Exactly, what I think the king is just afraid that the things of the year will be exposed, and the king of Shicheng will know about it and cause unnecessary trouble." However, it has been three years since the King of Shicheng was crowned king, and if he had come to investigate, he would have sent someone to investigate, and in my opinion, when he heard about the fire in the Rongguo Mansion, he already decided that they were not alive. ”

The two talked for a while, then began to get up and return to the front hall, Fang Ling quietly fell to the ground, and the two of them returned to the hall one step earlier, and continued to talk during the banquet, but they pondered the words of the two in their hearts.

From the conversation between the two just now, it can be judged that the king of Yizhou gave a secret order to the two of them, asking them to bring their grandfather and others to Yizhou, and being able to let their grandfather and others leave is nothing more than getting the queen mother to enter the case of rebellion.

Grandpa and the others should still be alive now, but I am afraid that very few people know about this matter, and they are all confidants of the King of Yizhou, although I don't know what the King of Yizhou did to the grandfather and others, or what he wants, but knowing that they are still alive is also the most fortunate news for Fang Ling.

In the next few days, Fang Ling sent him to Yizhou with the right to do things in northern Lu, and he and Song Ying'er worked together to find good horses in the horse markets in the surrounding counties.

Seeing the speed and endurance shown by the three horses, Jiang Wenshan and other officials applauded, and praised Fang Ling's eyesight, Fang Ling personally trained the horses, and the horse was as docile as a sheep in a few days after he got into his hands, and after everything was ready, Jiang Wenshan personally led the team to the royal capital of Yizhou, and Fang Ling was naturally in the entourage.
