Zhao Liang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Who did it?" ”

"It's the Privy Council," Yao Neng replied: "Just now we were waiting for the news of His Royal Highness's ascension to the court in the Gaosheng Teahouse, but I didn't expect the soldiers and horses of the Privy Council to suddenly appear, saying that Yang Gongzi had escaped from the battle and violated military law, and then tied him up and took him away without breaking up." ”

"Damn, it's so fast!" The little prince said angrily: "This is obviously not to give face to this king, deliberately ......"

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he was stopped by Kou Zhun: "Your Highness, be cautious, this is the gate of the palace, there are many people, don't be taken by others." Let's go to the teahouse opposite and talk slowly. ”

Everyone felt that what Kou Xiangguo said was reasonable, so they turned around and set off, and returned to the private room on the second floor of the Gaosheng Tea House again.

After everyone sat down, Kou Zhun asked Yao Neng and them to talk about the situation in detail, and then stroked his long beard and said, "According to the old man, this matter is not so serious. ”

Yang Ru was worried about his brother An Wei, and hurriedly asked Kou Zhun: "Why did Uncle Kou say this?" If the generals leave their posts without permission, they will be killed in any dynasty. What's more, a war with the Liao State is about to start right now. ”

Kou Zhun smiled and shook his head: "Oh, niece Xian doesn't have to worry, and everything can't be generalized." There are two main reasons why the old man said this. First, it is true that Zong Baoxian's nephew is a soldier, but he is serving in the Yongbyon Army, and the commander of the Yongbyon Army is none other than your own father. To put it inappropriately, as long as Brother Yanzhao said that it was Yang Zongbao, an officer under his command, who sent him back to Beijing on a secret business, then who could pick out half of it? ”

"Hey, yes, why did this king forget this stubble?" When the little prince heard this, he slapped his thigh, turning his worries into joy, and the other people in the room couldn't help but nod their heads and agreed with Kou Zhun's statement.

I only heard Kou Zhun continue: "Another reason is easier to understand, and that is Tianbo Yang Mansion. Speaking of which, Yang Lao Linggong and the old lady are extremely prestigious in the Korean and Chinese army, even if their grandson makes a mistake, without His Majesty's nod, who dares to easily touch half of Yang Zongbao's hair? At present, the war is about to break out, and the Yang family is bound to become the main force to resist the enemy, at this time, I am afraid that His Majesty is not willing to take risks easily, in order to severely punish Yang Zongbao, and mess up the entire Yang family's position. ”

Zhao Liang secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart when he heard it, Kou Zhun deserved to be an old man in officialdom, and he saw through the key at a glance. Chen Yaosuo assigned people from the Privy Council to arrest Yang Zongbao, to put it bluntly, it was just because he suffered a secret loss in the court, so he picked a stubble and took the opportunity to retaliate, most of which was just a matter of spreading anger, or he planned to hold Yang Zongbao's handle in his hands first, so that he could negotiate terms with the Yang family later.

If you really want to take Yang Zongbao, let alone Chen Yaosuo, it is estimated that Song Zhenzong will also weigh it.

Yang Ru relieved her mind a little and said, "Then what should I do next?" Would you like my father or grandmother to come forward? ”

Kou Zhun shook his head: "Your grandmother has just recovered, so don't disturb her old man." Your Highness, it is better for you to send a letter to General Yang Yanzhao Yang, explaining the reason, and asking him to inform the Privy Council, saying that it is on your order to send Yang Zongbao on official business. As for what it is for, the two of you can make up a reason. ”

"This is easy to do," the little prince said with a smile: "I mentioned to Your Majesty before, I want to ask the border army to send people to train the guards of the palace, especially to introduce them to the situation of the Liao army, so that they can be used when they go to the front line with this king in the future." So I said, this time it was Commander Yang who sent his son to help. ”

Yang Ruxi said: "This is the best! My eldest brother and Yachitose grew up together and knew each other well, so they were the best candidates to train the royal generals, which sounded reasonable. ”

Kou Zhun bowed slightly: "Then this matter is settled, it is nothing more than asking Yang Gongzi to suffer in prison for a few days." When he turned around, the old man also ordered his men to take care of it, and no one in the Privy Council was allowed to come nonsense. ”

Seeing that Yang Zongbao's problem was discussed and a solution was discussed, Yao Neng was finally relieved, and then asked about the military ration case. The little prince was in great interest, and he added fuel and vinegar to describe everything that happened in the court to everyone.

Yang Ru was surprised and delighted when she heard this, and hurriedly got up and gave Zhao Liang a blessing: "Brother Zhao, congratulations, you have been promoted to Marquis Lin'an!" ”

Yao Neng, Li Erbai and Apple also congratulated one after another, not only happy for Zhao Liang's addition to the official rank, but also admired his resourcefulness.

Zhao Liang smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, in fact, it's not uncommon for me to be a marquis, the key is to have the opportunity to find out the military rations case." You might as well talk about how we will act next. ”

Li Erbai said: "Uncle Shi is strategizing, he must have already made a plan, and I will listen to your old arrangement." ”

The little prince also agreed: "Yes, Brother Wang, it's better for you to plan." ”

Zhao Liang first looked at Kou Zhun and Yao Neng, and saw that the two of them also agreed that he should take the idea, so he boldly said: "Although the matter of leaking military secrets is our temporary nonsense, but before the war, it is also very necessary to carefully check the information security, so since Your Majesty has made us responsible, it is better to divide it into two parts and carry it out at the same time." ”

"Oh? Which two parts? The little prince asked.

"First, on the surface, please ask Your Highness to preside over the overall situation, and work with capable people to screen and verify the entire military quartermaster system of the Song Army to see if there are really any conspiracies or loopholes." Zhao Liang said calmly: "The second is secretly, mainly with Master Yao of the Criminal Division, and I will assist from the side, specifically for the Yingtian military grain case and the Mu family's injustice, to carry out an in-depth investigation. ”

Kou Zhun said with a smile: "Okay, the two-pronged approach, the inside and outside correspondingly, what Lin'an Hou said is indeed a steady and thoughtful move." ”

"What about us?" Yang Ru asked Zhao Liang: "We also want to do something." ”

Zhao Liang smiled slightly: "Erbai follows me and Master Yao, if Apple is not in a hurry to return to the border pass, he will also help together." As for the second young lady, we will take the three members of the Mu family out of prison first and settle them in Tianbo Yang Mansion for the time being, you are responsible for taking care of them, don't be killed by the bad guys. ”

Yang Ru was dissatisfied: "Living in our Yang family, who would dare to assassinate them?" Do you still need me to take care of you? Brother Zhao arranged it like this, and it was clear that he regarded Ru'er as a useless person. ”

The little prince smiled: "What's the matter? Does Miss Yang Er still want to go into battle to kill the enemy in person? Otherwise, there is also a shortage of manpower on the king's side, especially careful people who need to be familiar with military affairs. You're from a general's background, and you're no stranger to this aspect at all, so why don't you just come and help me. ”

"It's so good," Zhao Liang was afraid that Yang Ru would entangle him, so he hurriedly said: "To check the loopholes in military supplies, it is indispensable to deal with the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the main generals of the army. ”

Hearing Zhao Liang say this, Yang Ru is no longer willful, although he couldn't follow Brother Zhao on an errand, but after all, he has something serious to do, so he agreed: "Since the military master has an order, Ru'er obeys the order!" ”

Kou Zhun saw that these young people had discussed properly and were full of enthusiasm, so he stood up with a smile and advised: "Be more careful in everything, don't dare to encounter any difficulties, you can come to the old man at any time." I can't do anything else, I should be able to escort you. Yao Ti's ......"

"The lower official is here."

"You should quickly take the eight-thousand-year-old edict and go and bring the three members of the Mu family out of the prison of the Criminal Department, so as not to have many dreams at night." Kou Zhun was cautious and not negligent at all about the details, so he couldn't help but remind.

"The lower officials obey the order," Yao Neng said: "I'll go and complete the review documents for mentioning the Criminal Prison Division, and then match it with the prince's edict to rescue Mu Ling and them as soon as possible." ”

In less than the afternoon, the three members of the Mu family, who had suffered from prison, were picked up from the Criminal Department by the carriage and horse of the Criminal Division and sent straight to Tianbo Yang Mansion. At this time, Comrade Zhao Liang, the new Lin'an Hou, was drinking tea and chatting with Mrs. She.

He had already told the old lady about what happened last night and this morning.

After all, the old lady is the owner of the Yang Mansion and Yang Zongbao's grandmother, and such an important matter is hidden from her, and in the end, she may miss a big event. So Zhao Liang decided that it would be better to tell the truth.

After listening to Zhao Liang's narration, Mrs. She immediately grasped the ins and outs of the whole situation. The old man is also worthy of being a person who has seen the wind and waves, and he did not panic at all about what happened to his grandson, but recognized Yang Zongbao and Zhao Liang's actions very much, and expressed his support for them to investigate the military rations case.

An old man and a young man were chatting, and when they heard that the Mu family was coming, Mrs. She said, "Lin'an Hou, the old body will not delay you from doing your right thing." Don't worry about Zongbao, I have my own plans. In addition, please rest assured, the Mu family's father and daughter are absolutely safe here, and whoever dares to come to Tianbo Mansion to do things must first ask the old man's dragon head crutches. I'm not afraid of your jokes, the five hundred soldiers raised in my house are itchy all day long. ”

Zhao Liang laughed when he heard this, thinking that this was indeed the case, if Chen Yaosuo really sent assassins to kill people and kill people, it could only be to deliver food to those soldiers. So he said goodbye to Mrs. She, got up and left the main hall to see Zheng Luya.

At this time, the old couple of the Mu family had been arranged by Yang Ru to rest in the guest house. They have endured all kinds of frightes in the past few days, and they have been tortured in prison, and they have long been unable to support it. Don't say it's an inquiry, whether you can let yourself survive is between the two.

is Zheng Luya, her physical and psychological qualities are very good, except for the fact that her spirit is slightly aggrieved, and her other conditions are fine.

She waited until Zhao Liang came over, and hurriedly leaned down to thank the other party for saving her life.

Yang Ru and Apple helped Zheng Luya to sit back in the chair and persuade her that she didn't have to.

I only heard Zheng Luya choke and said: "It's all because of me, the harmful Yang Gongzi is in prison, and it also drags you all busy, great kindness, Ling'er really can't repay it." ”

Li Erbai persuaded: "Miss Mu is serious. Didn't you say it all just now, Yang Gongzi is actually fine, as long as he writes a letter at the age of 8,000, he will have a chance to get out of trouble. As for us, we should be chivalrous and righteous, and there is nothing that we will not repay. ”

Yao Neng also said: "Girl, if you have been wronged, it is the court that owes you in the first place, where is there a reason to apologize and be grateful." This is not Lin'anhou, let's talk about the case quickly, it is important to wash away the grievances. ”

Zhao Liang really wanted to kick everyone out of the house at this moment, so that he and Xiaoya could talk alone, but he also knew that it was impossible, so he had to sigh helplessly and said, "What Lord Yao said is right. Mu Ling, you better tell us about the military rations case. Yang Zongbao also took the risk of running back from the front line precisely because he wanted to overturn the case for you, and only by rehabilitating and clearing grievances can he live up to his hard work. ”

Zheng Luya understood that the stakes were high, and she didn't delay any longer, put away her tears and said, "This matter has to start from a few months ago. ”

"Actually, I don't have the surname Mu, but I don't remember my true life experience, I only know that I was in a state of confusion and wandered among the mountains and fields near Yingtianfu all day long. Later, because of hunger and cold, she was rescued by her father and aunt, and recognized as a righteous daughter. I don't know why, I seem to have been born with the inspiration to do business, I just wanted to repay my father, so I helped him take care of the family business, but I didn't expect it to be smooth. The Mu family firm successively launched two new means, 'financing and grain purchase' and 'centralized procurement and distribution', and opened up the market at once, and in just one month's effort, it made profits that could only be earned in the past few years. ”

No way! Zhao Liang said in his heart: If it weren't for the military ration case, you stinky girl would not be able to become a father Ma in the Song Dynasty.

I only heard Zheng Luya continue: "Just when the family's business was booming, the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War suddenly recruited military ration officials and merchants from all over the country to provide military grain and grass for the local garrison. As soon as I thought about it, this kind of government procurement bidding project must be accepted, so I signed up as a representative of Ying Tianfu. ”

Among the people present, except for Zhao Liang, none of them could understand what "government procurement bidding projects" were, but they all thought that this was the jargon of businessmen, so they didn't have too much confusion and continued to listen to Xiaoya's introduction: "But I never thought that there was a hard stubble in the middle!" ”
