This unsuccessful dinner was the last time Xiao Han and Chai Shaocheng got together this year.

It's night, Xiao Han is drunk and sleeping!

When he woke up, Steward Lu came to inform him that both of them had left early.

Xiao Han didn't blame the two for saying goodbye.

Because Cheng Yanjin has official business, and his subordinates are the high-profile Xuanjia Army, it is not easy to come to himself for a day.

As for Chai Shao, he knew better: if he wasn't worried that those ghosts would be unfavorable to him, he should have turned back to Beijing at this time, and now he waited until the emperor sent Lao Cheng to clean up everything, and then he would get rid of it, which was also in line with his character.

When he came to the side courtyard and looked at the empty guest house, Xiao Han's heart was inevitably empty.

The sorrow of parting, which was once the most dismissive, has become more and more haunting in my heart in the past two years.

Perhaps, this is also a different kind of growth.

In the following days, Yangzhou seemed to be much more normal.

The army sifted through the outside of the city like sand over and over again, and not only the thieves who fled were doomed, but even the landlords of the big clans who harbored also suffered.

In this way, some people who have some connections in the court feel that they have suffered a loss, and they can't be angry, so they ask someone to go to the emperor to participate in Cheng Cheng and bite Jin for an innocent crime.

It's a pity that this kind of music can't even pass the three provinces, and it was directly suppressed by Fang Xuanling.

As the left servant of Shangshu, who is half of the prime minister, Fang Xuanling has always grasped Li Shimin's thoughts very accurately!

He knew very well that the emperor was already furious at this time because of Xiao Han's injury!

If you look at those concerts that are full of benevolence and morality on the surface, but are embarrassed and traitorous on the inside, God knows what else will happen, and if it gets bigger, it will always have some impact on the next secret expedition to the west.

"Hey, although it is not necessarily the right thing to clean up the place at this time! But this place of Yangzhou has indeed done too much! ”

Casually throwing a complaint against Cheng Biting Jin for embezzling his ancestral property in Yangzhou into the waste basket, Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile to Du Ruhui, the right servant of Shangshu who came to wander around.

Du Ruhui stood still when he heard this, stroking a few short strands of beard, and his round and chubby face seemed to always have that kind smile, but the words that came out of his mouth did not make people feel half a point of warmth:

"What Brother Fang said is very true! I also wanted to attack the enemy first, and then try to cure the enemy internally! I hate that those people have the audacity to do so! Colluding with the Japanese people, killing officers and soldiers, attacking cities and destroying villages, causing people in a place to wander and lose their places, not to mention trying to kidnap our court! This is a great sin!

Now, Cheng Gong's army has entered the country, and he has made an inventory and calculation, just using iron-blooded means to make these people converge and converge! In the next time we use troops abroad, they probably won't dare to cause trouble again! ”

"Hehe, what Du Gong thinks is exactly what I want!"

Fang Xuanling laughed when he heard this, and after laughing, he took out a letter from the drawer on the side of the public case and handed it to Du Ruhui, asking: "This is a detailed explanation of the Yangzhou incident sent by Xiao Hou, after I read it, I think that this Yangzhou governor Cui Jingzhi and the county magistrate Yang Wenwen are decent and decisive, but they can use it, I don't know how Du Gong is?" ”

Du Ruhui stretched out his hand to take the letter, but he didn't open it to read it, because he also had such a letter in his hand! Hearing Fang Xuanling say this again, he smiled happily and said: "Yangzhou is at the beginning of the chaos, and there are still many problems in the future, and we need to be able to handle these affairs!"

Since Xiao Hou recommended it, Brother Fang also recognized it very much, why don't you and I recommend them as Yangzhou assassins and chiefs, so as to deal with the many remaining matters in Yangzhou? ”

"Good!" Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then remembered something, and frowned: "But this is the original Yangzhou Thorn History?" ”

The expression on Du Ruhui's face remained unchanged, but his tone gradually became colder, and he snorted coldly: "As a state assassin, he has the responsibility of controlling local military affairs, he has been in power for so long, there has never been a shortage of soldiers and food, but the military strength of the soldiers is so weak that they are easily defeated by a group of rogues.

Even he himself almost became a prisoner and lost the face of the country! Still stay in Yangzhou to do nothing! In my opinion, let him go to Jiaozhou to serve as the assassin, and then talk about it after a few more years of training! ”

"It's okay, then it's decided!" Fang Xuanling waited for Du Ruhui to finish speaking, and then nodded his beard.

Since then, a great official of the assassin history has set a sad history in the future in this house.

These are all things that happened on the Ninefold Palace, and they are not known to others.

Waiting for the original Yangzhou assassin Shi to be relieved, he rode on a horse and rushed back to Yangzhou, and before he could go to court, he ushered in the line of rushing to Jiaozhou to take office, and he didn't feel stupid.

Jiaozhou, the extreme south of the Tang Dynasty! It has not been developed so far, there are mountains, forests and lakes everywhere, Jiaolong miasma is rampant everywhere, and there are indigenous people who do not obey the indoctrination.

However, this is an order from the center of the imperial court, how dare he disobey it?

I was angry for a long time, and I don't know how many times I scolded the official who issued the order, but in the end, he still obediently packed his luggage and borrowed a merchant ship to go south.

There is a way that a few families are happy and a few are sad!

When the original Yangzhou Thorn Shi went south, Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen's house was full of lights, and the old servant woman and others happily swept the courtyard, ready to celebrate the joy of their master's ascension.

The decree of appointment from the capital has been delivered to the home.

Cui Jingzhi's official was promoted to one level, from the chief official, to the official to the history of the assassin, and since then he has been squeezed into the ranks of the party members!

As for Yang Wenwen, even the old wife in the family thought that he was a small county magistrate in his life.

But who knew that when he was old, he would not come to Ji Tailai, and he was even promoted several levels and became a long history, and as soon as the old wife heard the news, he ran to the ancestral hall, and bowed down to the ranking of the ancestors and ancestors, thanking the ancestors for their blessings.

However, when such a fortunate event occurred, was it really the strength of those ancestors who had been buried in the ground for an unknown amount of time? Not necessarily, right?

At least, Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen, as the parties concerned, are like mirrors in their hearts at this time!

Along with the holy decree, they also asked the angel who announced the decree about the past, and when they learned that their promotion was due to the joint recommendation of the prime ministers of the court, the left and right of the court, they already understood five or six points in their hearts.

Later, through the mouth of the local post presenter, I learned that there were indeed two letters sent to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and the fool knew what was going on!

Also, the two of them have been in the place for a long time, and they have never met the two prime ministers, and they have never even visited them, so why should they be recommended by a single relationship? Isn't it because of the big Buddha that lives in the city?

Therefore, while the two were happy, they were also grateful to Xiao Han from the bottom of their hearts.
