After the two Annanes, one fat and one thin, asked the little two about what they knew, they threw him a tael of silver and sent it out.

As soon as Xiao Er left, the two glanced at each other, and the fat man bowed to the old man in the back room and said, "Master Pan, what do you have to say?" ”

The old man didn't react, he was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, looking like he was silently chanting scriptures.

The fat man and the thin man no longer bothered the old man, but sat down and took counsel.

The thin man said first: "General Li, do you think this inspector surnamed Gao is just a routine inspection of the Siming Mansion?" ”

General Fat Li thought for a while and said: "Although according to the rule, after the patrol of the imperial history arrives at the place, every prefecture must be inspected, but in fact, this rule is not strictly implemented in the Ming Dynasty now, not to mention that in Guangxi, which is half of the Tusi, how many years ago, the Guangxi Patrol almost would not inspect the state capital ruled by the Tusi?" ”

But after he finished saying this, he frowned and said: "But this matter is not easy to pack, because Gao Shishi's patrol press is still somewhat different from those patrols in the past." He's a man...... According to our intelligence, it should be the favorite of Emperor Daming's cronies, and their family had a capable minister before, who was a famous man in the Ming Dynasty, and was posthumously reprimanded after his death, so this Gao pragmatic may be different from the previous patrol, if he has to come to Siming Mansion to inspect, this official will not feel very strange. ”

The thin man Fan commanded: "But the attitude of the Huang family doesn't seem to be right." That Huang Zhiting, the eldest lady of the Huang family, judging from the information we have obtained before and the results of the recent investigation of Siming Mansion, should be the real person in charge of the Huang family in Siming Mansion now, with her identity, how can she treat the Guangxi patrol with ordinary courtesy? ”

General Li muttered: "Your suspicions are indeed reasonable, I haven't figured this out, it stands to reason that the ownership of the land of Bazhai is the most controversial matter in Guangxi officialdom, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Liangjiang Tusi, they all want to swallow this area." The Ming court wanted to completely transform this place, which was always in rebellion, and the Liangjiang Tusi wanted to take down this land and increase its own power.

At this time, Liu Yaoxu, the governor of Liangguang who supported leaving Bazhai to Tusi, was far away in Guangdong, and Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi who supported the establishment of liuguan in the Bazhai area, was dying in Gu, and Gao Pragmatic, the Guangxi governor, became the most vocal Guangxi official, plus he was the emperor's favorite minister, I suspect that in this matter, he may have the ability to make a final decision - in this way, as long as Huang Zhiting is not dizzy, he should give Gao Pragmatic the highest standard of etiquette, how can he be treated as an ordinary friend? ”

The thin man thought for a while, and suddenly there was a hint of obscenity in his eyes, and said, "General Li, do you see if there is such a possibility...... That Huang Zhiting was called the 'Flower of Zuojiang' by the Tusi and the Tusi of Liangjiang and the Tumin, and has always been known for her charm and nature, will she plan to lure Gao Pragmatic, so as to catch this Gao Xun according to the handle of the fornication toast, and threaten Gao Pragmatic to stand on the side of their Huang family, set up the land of Bazhai as a toast, and even simply use the people of the Huang family to guard Bazhai for the Tuguan? ”

When General Li heard this, he didn't think that this possibility was not at all, he thought about it seriously, and then frowned slightly and asked: "But as far as I know, Guangxi Tusi such as Cen Huang and his ilk, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, has always emphasized that his family is of Han blood, and even began to learn the etiquette of the Han people. This Huang Zhiting is also the eldest daughter of the prefect of Siming Mansion, and she is the person who actually holds the power, will she be willing to recommend herself to Gao Pragmatic for the sake of Bazhai, which is at most a state? ”

"Hehe, General Li, you may have forgotten a detail that Xiao Er said just now." Commander Fan smiled: "Xiao Er said just now, 'That scholar is more than eight feet long, and he looks very handsome', hum, the Han people said it well, since ancient times, the sister loves to be pretty, this high pragmatic family is high, talented and good, I heard that he is also very rich, and he is the emperor's favorite minister, Huang Zhiting is the daughter of a wild toast in a remote place, what is not happy to recommend a pillow to him? said that Gao Pragmatic could obtain the land of Bazhai for her Huang family, but without this land of Bazhai, she might be happy!

General Li, don't think that these Tusi claim to be of Han blood, and they start to learn etiquette again, they just do this to gild their faces, and it is more convenient and secure to rule, in fact, Tusi is still just Tusi, they can't really see themselves as Han people - otherwise, her Huang Zhiting's father and brother are alive and well, what name does she take to power? Would the Han people allow this to happen? It's like the prince is alive, can it be the turn of the princess to be regent? ”

Commander Fan's words were considered to persuade General Li, and General Li nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, your analysis is very reasonable, after all, this toast is still the toast of servants, they just put a fig leaf on their Han blood, in order to show their nobility in front of the local people, and they don't really treat themselves as Han people." ”

He paused for a moment and pondered, "So that means it's really possible that she really wants to do this?" ”

Commander Fan swallowed his saliva and sighed: "This reincarnation is really a university question, just like Gao Pragmatic, there can be such a little beauty of the big Tusi family to give her arms for no reason, it is really greedy." ”

General Li smiled and said, "Commander Fan, as long as our mission is successful this time, most of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty will have to fight each other, even if they can't fight, the Northern Dynasty will inevitably concentrate its elite troops on the northern border."

Hmph, after the death of Mo Jingdian, the puppet king of Qian, there is no one in the army of the Northern Dynasties who can be called a famous commander, and then the troops will be transferred to the north, with the majesty and strategy of our dynasty, how can we not seize the opportunity to go north to defeat the rebels and wipe out the Mo clan in one fell swoop? At that time, the Duke of Langguo will naturally be the first major contributor to recreating the world, but you and I will not have a special merit, what is the beauty of the golden silk? ”

Who knew that Commander Fan sighed, and said with a wry expression: "General Li, have you ever seen Huang Zhiting, that is really a heavenly beauty, but any man, how can he not be tempted when he sees her?" In particular, she is also the ruling daughter of the Huang family for hundreds of years. General Li, think about it, if you can press such a beautiful and noble woman under you, it will really be ......."

General Li hadn't seen Huang Zhiting, so he naturally couldn't understand Commander Fan's feelings, so he still smiled and said: "Since Commander Fan likes beauties with noble status, why don't I help you mention it to the Duke of Langguo after you go back, and when the time comes, you can pick one or two of the princesses and county lords of the Mo family in the Northern Dynasty." ”

Commander Fan said in his heart, Lao Tzu didn't believe that those princesses and county lords of the Mo Dynasty could be as beautiful as this Huang Zhiting. But thinking about it, it was also very cool to have a princess to sleep with, so he still laughed and thanked General Li for his kindness.

Seeing that he had finally been able to deal with him, General Li turned the topic back and said, "Okay, let's guess now that we have roughly guessed Gao Shishi's intention to come to Siming Mansion, and also guessed Huang Zhiting's plan, then we have to calculate carefully and see how we can come up with a way to provoke the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty to let their two families meet each other." ”

Don't look at Commander Fan's lewdness when he mentions beautiful women, but when it comes to business, he can immediately sort out his thoughts and concentrate his mind. He listened to General Li's words, thought for a while, and said, "General Li, I always think that what we did to Zhang Ren last time was too hidden, otherwise why didn't the Ming side react at all until now?" According to our original plan, we want Da Ming to identify the murderer on Mo Maoqia's head. ”

Speaking of this, General Li also frowned, quietly glanced at the inner room, and sighed: "Maybe it's indeed too hidden, maybe Yao Gu is mysterious, and there are no people around Zhang Ren who know Yao Gu, so I can't find out the reason and origin." We finally took advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Dynasty to send an envoy, and spent a lot of money to arrange the master into the envoy team, but we didn't expect that it ended up being an unsolved case, and Zhang Ren may not know why he suddenly became seriously ill and died. ”

Commander Na Fan smiled mysteriously and said: "Master said that Zhang Ren is not dead now, someone must be using the method of exchanging his life to induce Gu poison to him, but no matter how he is introduced, he will be able to live for about two more months, we can still find a way to prompt Guilin in these two months...... But this matter is not in a hurry now, and Xia Guan suddenly has a better idea. ”

General Na Li's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "What is the idea?" ”

Commander Fan pointed in the direction of the Yamen of the Prefect of Siming Mansion and said with a smile: "We can fight the idea of that high inspector." ”

General Li seemed to be not very proficient in the business of intrigue and trickery, and after hearing this, he hesitated: "Now that there is no Northern Dynasty mission, how can you have a pragmatic idea?" ”

Commander Fan smiled: "Didn't he come to inspect, the patrol can't just live in the mansion, it must come to the people, as long as we come to the people, we have a way to think about it." ”

"Commander Fan might as well talk about it in detail, Li will listen attentively." General Li seems to be very good at being a man, and his words fully gave Commander Fan face, and Commander Fan was happy to hear it.

Fan commanded: "There is one of the easiest methods, that is, we pretend to be a spy of the Northern Dynasty, pretend to have discovered Gao Shishi's identity, and then assassinate him. ”

General Li frowned and said, "Why do you still want to go to Gu?" Wouldn't it be better to get some weapons from the Northern Dynasty to kill him? If it's a Gu, don't be able to find clues on Da Ming's side by then, then wouldn't we be busy in vain? ”

Commander Fan shook his head and said, "This time, we must leave the clues obvious, and we must let people know that it was the Northern Dynasty who succeeded...... As for why they have to use Xia Gu, and it is Xia Yao Gu, this is because once the Ming Court finds out that it is Yao Gu, they will immediately think of Bazhai, so they will definitely change the land and return to Bazhai, which will intensify the contradiction between the Ming Court and Tusi. And once the conflict between the Ming Court and Tusi becomes intense, the Ming Court will not be able to concentrate all its efforts to really have a war to destroy the country against the Northern Dynasty, and we don't have to worry about luring the wolf into the house, but we will end up with a magpie's nest. ”

General Li immediately understood that although this Fan commander was not very good, he thought about the problem very comprehensively, so it was no wonder that he was sent to partner with him.

smiled at the moment: "Commander Fan's clever plan, if this matter is successful, General Ben will personally ask for credit for you in front of the Duke of Langguo!" ”
