At this time, the most fortunate thing for the brothers of Lixiangyuan was that Yang Heng was in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and if he entered the prison, he could only stare dryly. The prisons of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are just ordinary thieves, so the guards are much looser than the serious prisons. If it was really a Jiangyang thief, Zhao Cheng would have to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department as soon as possible. He was a stubborn planting, and he didn't dare to hand people over.

Although Jia Baoyu had also been in it for a few days before, he didn't dare to ask him about the matter, so he had to send someone else to investigate. Wu Xiaoxi then pretended to be Yang An's neighbor and accompanied him to deliver food and visit the prison. Originally, Yang Heng was a repeat offender and was not allowed to visit the prison. When Zhao Cheng heard that his son was crying at the door, his eyes rolled, and he felt pity and ordered the child to go in.

Yang An gave the official a handful of extremely loose silver, and although the official disliked the bad condition, fortunately it was enough, so he opened the door and let them inside. Yang An immediately threw himself next to his father and cried. Yang Heng is not bad, he has never been served by torture. When he saw a little girl he didn't know leading his son in, he guessed that he had found someone, and smiled slightly.

Wu Xiaoxi's face was timid and wooden when he came in, his eyes were shining, and he asked, "Uncle Yang, how did you offend the official family?" My mother was very anxious. ”

Yang Heng smiled bitterly: "I have never offended the official family. ”

Yang An hurriedly touched his tears and asked him what he had done.

It turned out that Yang Heng was tied up to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division last night, and Zhao Chengxian ordered people to beat him up without saying anything, and then told him about his case like a comment, and asked him if he could confess. Yang Hengcai said "wronged", Zhao Cheng nodded and said: "Very good, since you have confessed your guilt, let's draw a charge." Then someone came up and pinched Yang Heng's finger and drew a charge on the confession. Yang Heng was immediately thrown into prison.

Wu Xiaoxi frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Why, they didn't put forward conditions to make you confess your guilt?" ”

Yang Heng snorted, "Am I willing?" ”

Wu Xiaoxi said: "My mother has something to say to Uncle Yang. Nai leaned close to his ear and said, "They should give it a try, please ask Second Master Yang to have too much backbone and have a good time with them-I'm afraid that you will commit suicide in fear of sin." Also, please tell me that Lord Zhao Chenglin's guard is your brother. ”

Yang Heng smiled indifferently: "I know, thank you." ”

After a while, someone outside urged them to leave, and Yang An pulled the corner of Xiaoxi's clothes with tears in his eyes.

The two children returned to Yang's house to sort out some things, because Yang An had to stay in Rongguo Mansion for the time being, and picked up a few clothes and some important things. When the two of them locked the door and came out, they turned a corner, only to hear two muffled screams, and when they looked back, Mi'er and Wu You each knocked out a person and walked over. Wu You said with a smile: "Those two soldiers and horses of the five cities have started to follow you, and they just want to arrest people and let us down." ”

That night, Mi'er personally stepped on the road, and he didn't want the slack of the soldiers and horses of the five cities to be even inferior to the Rongguo Mansion, so he shook his head secretly in his heart. Jia Cong then took a few crossbows and a few sabers from the underground weapons depot in the mansion in the south of the city, and they studied the route for two days, and asked Gong San to be a staff officer to discuss together. Gong San also listened for a long time, shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome, it's just an ordinary yamen." So he asked his son Xiaoxi which cell Yang Heng was in, and asked Yang An what his father looked like, sneaked in alone that night, and rescued the person unconsciously.

Yang Heng was injured, and Gong San also dealt with him a few times. The old man saw that a room full of children were full of reverence, and pretended to cough twice: "My old arms and legs can't stand the toss, so I fell asleep." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "We can't sleep either, why don't you go to sleep in my house when you're old?" ”

Gong San also glanced at them: "I'm afraid that you hairy children are noisy." Then he went back to the dart board.

Everyone waited patiently for Yang Heng to finish coaxing his son, and then asked him how he was doing in the past few days.

Yang Heng sighed lightly and asked, "Which two are the young masters of the Jia family?" ”

Jia Cong and Jia Huan raised their hands in unison.

Yang Heng said: "Do you know that I almost assassinated Lord Lin? ”

Everyone was so frightened that they shouted out! Jia Cong stood up and asked, "Isn't the one who wanted to kill my uncle back then an old saint?" ”

Yang Heng smiled: "Yes and no." In the end, it was the old saint who ordered not to kill him, and he got a life. He poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all before he began to speak slowly.

It turned out that although the Emperor Taishang looked at Lin Hai unpleasantly, because the saint gradually did not like to listen to the call for a while, he had the heart to kill chickens and monkeys. However, he also knew that Lin Hai was an important minister in the court, so he was a little hesitant. Therefore, he ordered Zhen Yingjia and Jiangxi General Xu Hong to watch and do it. If you can scare, you can scare, and if you are scared, you will not listen to it and then do it. However, Lin Hai was investigating a case in his hand, and the case was not big, but the more he investigated, the more wrong it became. Behind the case is Xu Hong. Xu Hong didn't want to do it himself because he had a ghost in his heart, so he told Zhen Yingjia that he had shocked Lin Hai, and this person was pedantic and unmoved, and ordered Zhen Yingjia to get rid of Lin Hai, so that Lin Hai was assassinated. I don't want Jia Huan's bag of walnut crisp to mess up the game.

Xu Hong saw that the Zhen family was not up to the task, so he prepared an assassin with ability, and planned to wait for Lin Hai to return to Yangzhou before making a death move. Lin Daiyu asked the Taiping Dart Bureau to play a golden cicada shell, but the assassin didn't wait for Lin Hai to say nothing, but the person who was bought by the Zhen family in the Lin family was found out, exposing the old sage. Because the sage was soft, the old sage saw that the goal was achieved, so he ordered Xu Zhen and the others to stop. The Zhen family naturally wanted to stay away from such a major event, but Xu Hong was troubled. He deliberately pretended to kill Lin Hai for personal gain, and since the old sage had given his order, it was inconvenient for him to disobey, so he had to think again. So he simply waited to see how Lin Hai acted.

As everyone knows, Lin Hai has a very good memory, and he remembers what the big cabinet of documents that someone burned while Tan Ying was asleep that day. Because they had already analyzed it in Beijing, the people who wanted to kill Lin Hai refused to let him go back to Yangzhou. Although the cabinet of documents is important, it is only some money and property certificates, and none of them can be seen by the poor dagger. He thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a clue, so he simply didn't want to. After that, everything didn't matter, cut flowers and bamboo, read and write, and the case was also put down. Xu Hong saw that he didn't investigate, so he temporarily pressed the killing intent.

After another half a year, Lin Hai met a familiar salt merchant on the street and casually asked him how his son was. The salt merchant said: "The villain has no son, and there are only two daughters under his knees. Lin Hai was shocked! The key witness in the case that day was the young son of the family. Then he hurried back with the salt merchant to their shop. After careful investigation, the little boy was just a steward pretending to be, and this man had already quit his errand and left! Therefore, the salt merchant was involved with several nobles in Beijing behind his death, and many words were definitely not known by the manager, Lin Hai believed it at the time. If that steward wasn't his young master, the case that Lin Hai investigated that day would have gone nowhere!

Lin Hai has always been arrogant and arrogant, how can he stand such teasing! The case was immediately set to work.

Xu Hong was so anxious that he jumped to his feet when he got the letter, and said fiercely: "Don't keep that old horseman!" "I have the intention to send a killer to kill him directly, and I am afraid that the emperor will be unhappy. Because he knew that Yang Song, the guard beside Lin Hai, was a member of Yuzhang's Yang family, he ordered someone to inquire if there was anyone else in their family. Coincidentally, Yang Heng was disheartened because his wife died of the anger of the enemies of the green forest, and he washed his hands with his son. How easy it is for a general soldier to deal with a green forest thief, Xu Hong captured Yang An and asked Yang Heng to exchange Lin Hai's head.

Yang Heng had no choice but to pretend to go to Yangzhou to see Yang Song, and stabbed Lin Hai on the plane.

Yang Song hadn't seen anyone with Lin Hai all these years, and it only took half a day to notice that something was wrong with his younger brother, so he asked him why he was here. Yang Heng was forced by him to cover up, so he had to fall to his knees and tell the truth.

Lin Hai had already found out a few clues, and now he knew that the person behind him was Xu Hong, and he guessed most of them, and he couldn't help but scold.

After he finished scolding, Yang Song asked on the side: "Dare to ask my lord, can we eradicate General Xu in one fell swoop?" ”

Lin Hai was stunned, shook his head and said, "No." Eighty percent of us were killed by him. ”

Yang Song said: "Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." Since it's difficult for us to even protect ourselves, why don't we hand over that case to someone else? ”

Lin Hai was silent for a long time when he heard this, and sighed: "Others can't do it, and they can't ignore it, no matter if there is a big mess." ”

Yang Song said: "If the adults can't even keep their useful bodies, there will be no way to do it." Why don't you send a secret letter to Beijing and ask King Xian Chitose to be the master? ”

Lin Hai thought about it, even if he was dead with him, he would not be able to escape from his hands, so it was better to avoid it for the time being. So he wrote a letter to Xu Hong, the general soldier of Jiangxi, saying that he had roughly guessed that the case of a blacksmith shop was complicated, and he didn't want even Lord Xu to intervene in this matter, and he knew more and more about which nobleman it was. If he had known that it was his old man, where would Lin care? Please see that Lin has not taken care of official business since he returned to Yangzhou. Lin is now old, and he just wants to return to Beijing to retire after two years of errands, and that noble man still had a great favor with Lin back then. Lin is just a court official, and he eats the court's money, and he doesn't dare to be an enemy of the court no matter what. Lord Xu rest assured, Lin swore in the name of a certain science exploration flower that this case would not be investigated again. He ordered Yang Heng to take this letter back in exchange for his son.

Xu Hong saw that he mistakenly thought that the main owner behind him was the emperor, and he was overjoyed, and said to his staff: "It's good to have your back against the big tree." Lin Hai is a smart person, but he thinks too much about everything, and thinks about the emperor for everything. Seeing that he had sworn again, he handed Yang An back. Lin Hai really stopped investigating the case. Xu Hong also made people secretly stare at Lin Hai, his documents, and even the letter he sent to his daughter in Beijing made people secretly open and look at it on the way, and sure enough, there was not a word related to the case, so he put his mind at ease.

Yang Song knew that they would not be safe without soldiers in Jiangnan, and that Lin Hai would return to Beijing in two years, so he ordered his younger brother to take his nephew into Beijing first. Yang Heng didn't want to be involved with the powerful, so he never came to see Jia Cong. I didn't want to make a big detour, but I still entered the Rongguo Mansion.

After listening to the cause and effect, everyone in Lixiangyuan looked at each other. Half a day later, Wu Xiaoxi said: "Lord Lin dug a pit for Xu Hong. ”

Wu You continued: "As Yang Huwei said, since he can't deal with it, you can ask King Xian to deal with it. ”

Jia Huan continued: "It's just that Uncle Lin has the heart to protect himself, and King Zixian probably doesn't know about it. Otherwise, King Xian will act, in case the people below him do not act carefully and expose the stuffing, I am afraid that the mouse will hurt the jade bottle and put the uncle himself in. It can also be seen from this that this matter is by no means overnight, and it is not a big deal to delay it for two or three years. He turned his head to look at Liu Feng.

Liu Feng said: "After talking for a long time, no one talked about the important joints. In the final analysis: Xu Hong has the intention to rebel. ”

Wu Xiaoxi snorted: "I guessed it a long time ago, but I didn't say it in a hurry, but you were in a hurry." ”

Liu Feng was speechless for a while.

The room was full of people, only Yang Heng's face changed in fright, looked around, and said, "Aren't you all surprised?" Rebellion is a big deal! ”

Jia Cong pouted and said: "Second Brother Yang, you are a good man in the green forest, and the people who come and go every day are all green forest people, so it is not unusual for you to rebel." ”

Yang Heng said: "At most, the people of the green forest are just the kings of the mountain, how can it be the same as the rebellion of an official as big as Xu Hong?" What about the Jiangxi General Army. ”

Jia Huan stretched his waist: "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished, and the more powerful the official, the easier it is to rebel." No wonder the emperors of the past and present are suspicious. ”

Seeing that most of the people were suspicious, Wu Xiaoxi explained: "Today's world is still the world of old saints, and the saint is just a puppet. Since Xu Hong is his confidant, there is no need to taboo the saint's henchman, Lord Lin—his master is stronger than Lord Lin's. Unless he does something that even the old saint can't bear. In addition to rebellion, what else could the old sage not bear? Moreover, this will be peaceful in the world, and whoever rebels with great fanfare will definitely die quickly. Even if Xu Hong is anti-minded, he will definitely not dare to move in recent years. Therefore, it is okay for Lord Lin to expose this matter two years later. ”

Jia Cong rubbed his eyes: "I feel that everyone is waiting for the old saint to return to the west." Nai asked Yang Heng, "Can you tell Lord Zhao of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, your brother is Yang Song?" ”

Yang Heng nodded: "I said, after finishing speaking, Zhao Cheng's face was extremely unsightly, and he never interrogated me again." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "That's easy." ”

Everyone laughed, because it was almost dawn, and they went to rest.

On the other hand, Zhao Cheng wanted to take Yang An and coerce Yang Heng to confess his guilt in front of the Niu family for him, so as to cover up the matter, but the two officials he sent were knocked unconscious, and the child never appeared again. Then I went to the neighborhood near Yang's house to inquire about the neighborhood, and they all said that Yang Hengping was a serious person, who only raised his son, and didn't even go to the kiln, and had never heard of him having any concubines, so he thought it was his original good friend in the green forest. I heard him say that he and Lin Hai's guards were brothers, and I thought about it more and more. When it was dawn the next day, he found that the man had been rescued, and his heart was in turmoil. I don't know if I was rescued by the female thief who was good with the green forest, or if I was rescued by others. If the female thief is allowed to save her, she shall be arrested by the whole city as a shadow; If someone else is rescued, will it have anything to do with Lord Lin? Or what does it have to do with the imperial court? I don't know what to do for a while.

There are people from the Niu family who want to see Yang Heng, and they want to spit on him in front of him, and beat him up by the way. Zhao Cheng really had no choice but to try to get a death row prisoner from death row, pretending to commit suicide in fear of crime, and regarded this person as Yang Heng.

Yang Heng was watching Mr. Xiyang leading a group of teenagers to fiddle with strange things in Lixiangyuan at the time, and he thought it was quite interesting; At first glance, he was dumbfounded when he heard that he was dead. After a long time, he said, "Is this world so absurd?" "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
