Song Yang then took out a piece of jade from his bosom that Ji Xianzhi handed over before he left, and said: "I am Song Yang, the female monarch's guard, and I went to Guangzhou to find people on the orders of the lord, and now I have brought people to... I also ask you to let go. ”

The sergeant at the head took the jade order from Song Yang's hand in disbelief, carefully identified it, and looked at the one-eyed young man carefully for a while, before waving his hand to the group of people who were surrounded behind him, signaling for release.

Song Yang hugged his fist at the sergeant as a sign of respect, and then walked towards the forest with the tall man beside him.

At that time, Jiang Chengjia was accompanying Ning Nanwei to talk to Jiang Taigong and Gu An in the Yayun Pavilion, and was talking about Song Yang's trip to Guangzhou, saying that ten days had passed, and he was afraid that he had not found the owner of the other half of the jade seal, so he had not returned.

Speaking of which, Gu An showed a look of disappointment, and sat on the side and looked at Jiang Chengjia intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to ask something.

Ning Nan quietly took these expressions into his eyes, and then turned his eyes to look at Jiang Taigong, who was sitting opposite him with a straight body, his thoughts were complicated.

This gray-haired, but still energetic old prince said calmly at the moment: "Lord Gu and the prince don't have to be too anxious.... Although the boy did not rush back in ten days as agreed, he did not necessarily fail to do it. It was a little late because something was delayed on the way. ”

Jiang Chengjia listened to their conversation, was silent, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of herbal tea for a few of them, and was thinking about how to get in touch with Song Yang, the concierge of the Zhuang courtyard hurriedly came to the inner courtyard, knelt on the ground and reported: "Lord, Song Yang has arrived!" He was accompanied by a marching man with half a jade seal. ”

Ning Nan's frowning eyebrows expanded slightly, his eyes turned slightly, and he answered: "Directly bring the two of them to the inner courtyard." ”

"Whoa." The porter got up and went to the outer courtyard. Jiang Chengjia was a little surprised in his heart. Ning Nanwu put Song Yang in the inner courtyard so easily to meet Gu An and Jiang Shan? Have you let go of your doubts?

She lowered her eyes, her hands pinching the teacup and playing with it, her thick eyelashes obscuring her eyes, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Ning Nan glanced at her thoughtfully, and her eyes with black streamers sank slightly.

The one-eyed boy followed behind the porter and led the man towards the inner courtyard. When I walked to the wall in front of the Yayun Pavilion, I felt a little nervous. He stopped in front of the Moon Gate, took a deep breath, turned to the sturdy old man beside him, and said, "General Fan... The one who wants to see you is waiting in the inner hall. ”

The old general nodded and said, "It's been hard work all the way, little boy." ”

Song Yang walked into the inner courtyard with him, and saw four people sitting in front of the hall from a distance, and the one on the high seat seemed to be an old man with gray hair.

He didn't dare to look at it a few more times, and when he walked to the front of the hall, he clenched his fists and lowered his head, knelt down in the courtyard and bowed: "Subordinate Song Yang, I asked the lord for his guilt, but he failed to return on time." ”

The inner hall was covered with some light, and there were bamboo curtains scattered down to block it, and it was a little dark inside.

The courtyard was silent for a while, and someone spoke: "Get up, it's the owner of the other half of the jade seal that follows behind?" ”

General Fan stood a little far away from the inner hall, in order to get the permission of the little boy's master's family, he didn't dare to step forward without authorization, and heard the voice of a young man inside, so he guessed that this person was the lord of Song Yang, so he bowed down and took two steps forward to hold his fist but did not bow and said: "This male monarch is the owner of the other half of the jade seal." ”

The young man asked, "Where is the seal?" Can you please take a look at it? ”

General Fan immediately took out the jade seal from his bosom and said generously: "It should be confirmed." ”

He handed the jade seal to the servant who came to ask for it, and then hung his head and waited.

In a few moments, there was a sound of slow and steady footsteps in the inner hall, and someone stepped over the threshold and descended the stairs to him. 59 Books

General Fan was stunned, raised his head slightly, and saw the familiar face that was full of fine lines, full of vicissitudes, and deep sunken eyes.

His nose was sour, and he immediately knelt down and clenched his fists and called out to the person in front of him sonorously: "Lord! After many years... My subordinates are really lucky enough to see you again. ”

When Jiang Taigong saw him kneeling, he immediately took two steps forward, helped him up, and said with tears in his eyes: "I haven't seen you for many years, you have lost a lot of weight, and you have worked hard for many years." ”

"Subordinates can act for the prince, no matter how much they pay.

It's just that.... The subordinates are unknown, you... Why is it here? There are rumors in Guangzhou that ... Prince, you were captured by the Wuhu King Meng disaster... Life and death are unknown. Five days ago, this little boy named Song Yang came to Sanshui Alley with your token to look for me, and asked me to follow him to meet someone... I looked at the half of the jade seal, and I couldn't believe it... The little boy was carefully interrogated for a long time before he dared to go here with him. But I never talked about it, and the person this little boy wanted to show me was actually you. ”

With tears in his eyes, General Fan asked about this, only glad that he believed Song Yang's words and came here, so that he could meet the Marquis of Guannei.

"How can I be here safe and sound... It's a long story. Now, I asked Song Yang's little boy to find you here... There is one more important thing. I know that Song Zong has relied on you a lot over the years, but today because of my affairs, he became suspicious of you. Therefore, I also want to take advantage of this opportunity to let you completely escape from Song Zong's hands and avoid future dangers. Jiang Taigong heard him ask about the topic, so he put aside the greetings of old friends for the time being, and changed the conversation and said.

"The lord has no instructions, but by command." For many years, General Fan had been under the orders of Jiang Taigong in private, lurking beside Song Zong, secretly investigating Song Zong's trafficking in human beings and smuggling of grain, grass, arms, and salt and iron. He has hidden his identity for many years, has been working diligently for Song Zong, and at the same time secretly recorded all the black shops that Song Zong bought everywhere in Guangzhou, but he could not reach the core, so the shops and strongholds recorded were fragmented, and they were all strongholds that Song Zong did not care about very much. This made him very anxious. However, five years ago, in order to strengthen his control over Guangzhou, His Majesty divided the original Hepu County into two parts, north and south, the northern part of Hepu is still named Hepu County, and the southern part is named Gaoliang County with Gaoliang County as the county government, named Gaoliang County, and moved the Thorn Shifu from the original Hepu County to Gaoliang County - Gaoliang Township. While moving up and down the palace to Gaoliang Township, Song Zong's convoy was assassinated. General Fan blocked the arrows in this assassination and saved Song Zong's life. Song Zong was quite moved, and only then was Song Zong Gaoliang's local rouge shop four years ago and began to secretly take over Song Zong's dirty and dark transactions.

However, since two months ago, after Linhe reported that Jiang Taigong was captured by Meng Disaster, General Fan was worried about the safety of the Marquis of Guan Nei and the Jiang family, and he was uneasy because he was worried about the safety of the Marquis of Guan Nei and the Jiang family, and privately investigated the matter of Linhe, which was noticed by Song Zong's henchmen, so he was suspected by Song Zong, so he was sent to Yulin from Gao Liang.

"Fan Yan, let me ask you a question first... For many years, you have been at Song Zong's... Is it extremely hateful to visit the dirty money and dirty money that he has traded privately? Jiang Gong was not in a hurry to start the business, and asked him this question first.

Fan Yan showed disgust and shame on his face, and clenched his fists and said: "My subordinates always do those dirty things for Song Zong... I feel ashamed of the ancestors of the Fan family... I really have no shame to face my father. However, if no one goes around, Song Zong's crime will not be exposed in another ten years, and he will be placed under the sun for the world to see his face. Every day in Yulin, my subordinates hope that you... I can send a letter to my subordinates and tell my subordinates that everything is ready, and we can expose Song Zong's sins over the years..."

He said it very firmly, and the look of extreme disgust for Song Zong did not seem to mean to pretend.

In fact, Jiang Shan couldn't be sure if Fan Yan's ambitions were still as unwavering as they were ten years ago after seven years of lurking by Song Zong's side? That's why Fang Cai's words were just for the sake of temptation. Now seeing his rock-solid attitude, he let go of a hanging heart and said: "Today, I will tell you that everything is ready, Song Zong's house will not survive next spring." ”

"Really?" Fan Yan's deep, vicissitudes of life eyes shone with a glimmer of light. Later, in order to get in touch with the core secrets of Song Zong's smuggling and trafficking, he could only endure it again and again, watching the people of Guangzhou and the people in pain, and countless people who died in their families, and there were always guilt in his heart that was difficult to express. Hearing Jiang Shan say this at this moment, the anger that he had endured for many years had all turned into expectation, hoping that he would be able to lead him out of the cancer of Song Zong with his own hands.

"It's true. Before I get down to business, I need to show you three people. Jiang Shan held the rough and old hands of his old friend and said seriously.

"Who?" Fan Yan asked.

Jiang Shan led him into the inner hall.

And the three people waiting in the inner hall also got up one after another and saluted Jiang Shan and Fan Yan respectfully, as a sign of the respect of the juniors for their seniors.

"Master Gu?" Fan Yan saw the young man standing on the right side of the inner hall at first glance, and was very surprised: "I didn't expect Master Gu to be here... To put it this way... Your family... Are you all right? ”

Jiang Shan nodded and said, "Not bad... The reason why Master Gu and I were able to stand here with all our beards and tails intact was all due to him, and the Marquis of Huaiyin single-handedly planned..."

Fan Yan followed Jiang Shan's point, looked at Ning Nan worriedly, and said in surprise: "Didn't you expect that it was the Marquis of Huaiyin who brought you here?" ”

"Yes, if it weren't for the Marquis of Huaiyin's single-handedness, I'm afraid I would really be planted in the hands of Meng Disaster........"
