Almost overnight, Jiankang City became treacherous and turbulent, and a thick and majestic momentum was slowly attacking the entire Jiankang City.

Every morning on the banks of the Qinhuai River, drunken people were pulled up from the banks of the river as if they were salvaging corpses.

Therefore, the people of Jiankang who are accustomed to it, even if they look at the unconscious figure lying on the riverside, no one will be curious and surprised, hurriedly glance at it, and then continue to be busy on the road, or the matter at hand.

For such unconscious people who were drunk last night, there were some beggars and so on to pull them up, so as to beg for some broken silver to satisfy their hunger.

And today's early morning, it is a little different, there are many people watching the excitement on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and there are even officials and other people standing on the bank of the river, which makes the businessmen and people who are begging for a living on the bank of the Qinhuai River, etc., can't help but start to be curious: Could it be that someone drowned drunk last night?

But things are obviously not as simple as they imagined, for several days, every day on the banks of the Qinhuai River, there will be official arrests, and every day on the riverside, there will be news that someone was drowned because of drunkenness last night.

One time may be an accident, for several days in a row, someone died on the bank of the Qinhuai River every morning, obviously this is not an accident.

More importantly, although the few people who died on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the past few days were made into the illusion of being drunk and drowned, their purple and swollen faces, broken necks, and tattered clothes on their bodies were obviously torn, which was enough to prove that this person did not seem to be drinking before his death, let alone died of drunkenness.

Yang Cunzhong's face was pale, compared to the corpse that had just been salvaged, he couldn't see where to go, his lips were closed, his brows were frowned, and he looked at the corpses that were salvaged and wet all over his body, and the word murder had been in his mind since the first day.

Everyone knows that a major event has happened in Jiankang City recently, that is, Zhong Ping, who is the promotion of Chang Ping, was imprisoned for fornicating with Jin Guo, and he personally arrested Zhong Ping.

With the noisy footsteps on the riverside, a sedan chair ran quickly to this side, Yang Cunzhong, who was frowning and looking at the corpse, sighed heavily, and walked up to the embankment to meet the sedan chair.

"There is Lord Lao Huang, and I have asked you to come over to recognize people for several days, and Yang is also ...... in his heart I really don't know how to tell Lord Huang. Yang Cunzhong looked at Huang Du who came out of the sedan chair and saluted with a smile.

This is not the first time that Huang Guo has come to ask Huang Hua to recognize people, since the early morning of the first day, almost every day Yang Cunzhong will ask Huang Hua to recognize people.

This is not because of how much power Huang Du, the Jiankang transfer envoy, has, but because the people who died on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the past few days are all members of their transfer department.

On the first day, he died on the bank of the Qinhuai River was the transfer department, the second day was the mention, the third day was the supervisor, and on the fourth day today, he was still the person of the transfer department.

It can be said that now in the transfer department, in addition to the transfer envoy Huang Du in front of him, only Zhong Ping, the promoter of Changping Division in the prison, and the two leaders under Zhong Ping are still alive.

"Yes, it's the escort of the Transit Division." Accompanied by Yang Cunzhong, the pot-bellied Huang Du walked up to the dead corpse and looked at it twice and said.

"Don't you think things are getting weirder and weirder? Or has the Transit Division offended someone lately? From top to bottom, he was either arrested by Yang and put in prison, or ...... died on the banks of the Qinhuai River, Lord Huang, you subordinates, but who have you offended today? Yang Cunzhong stretched out his hand and asked Huang Du to go up the embankment, watched the dead body being carried away, and then looked at the Qinhuai River, which was shining in the morning light and looking vibrant, and asked at this time, which seemed quite ironic.

"Lord Yang, as a prison envoy, at this time, you should be the master of our transfer department, this day is the person from my transfer department who died in this Qinhuai River, this ...... Maybe it's my turn next, Lord Yang, you have to help me. Huang Du said bitterly, but there was no worry on his face.

"In this way, Lord Huang doesn't know if your subordinates have offended anyone?" Yang Cunzhong unconsciously clenched his fists back and forth with his hands and asked.

"Huang really doesn't know, these subordinates are not the kind of masters who cause trouble on weekdays, who would have thought ...... This...... How did this evil find them? By the way, do you think this is related to Zhong Ping's case, could it be that there is a hidden secret? They...... They ...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness? Huang Du said Finally, he slashed his neck with a knife with his hand and made a mouth-like way.

Yang Cunzhong looked at the pot-bellied Huang Du, smiled and said, "I can't come to such a conclusion for the time being, but these people ...... Yang had been looking for a long time, but he didn't expect that when they appeared again, they would already be dead. ”

"That's right, so this case of Zhong Ping's fornication with Jin Guo can be done? These people must have been involved, and after seeing that Zhong Ping was arrested, he hid, for fear of implicating them, right? Huang Du said analytically.

"Then you still want to ask Lord Huang, who do you think will kill them? Now that they've fled, how could they suddenly appear in Jiankang City? Is there something hidden in it? By the way, there is still a general leader in the Transshipment Division, can Lord Huang know his whereabouts? Yang Cunzhong asked again.

Huang Du didn't even think about it anymore, and his fat-headed and big-eared head shook like a rattle: "Since the Zhong Ping incident, I haven't seen any of these people again, didn't I already tell Lord Yang about you?" ”

"Okay, then thank you Lord Huang. If Yang doesn't know what happened these days, I don't know if it's convenient to visit? Yang Cunzhong looked at the lively crowd that gradually dispersed, and looked at Huang Dudao, who was already talking to him impatiently.

"It must be certain, Huang will definitely wait for Lord Yang, of course, I hope that Lord Yang can give Huang an explanation as soon as possible, so that the transfer department will no longer be dead. As for the case of Zhong Ping, I also hope that Lord Yang will act impartially and never wronged a good person, but don't let go of any traitor who is Tongjin. Huang Du's fat body was obviously not conducive to standing for a long time, and after finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Yang Cunzhong to reply, and hurriedly saluted and got into the sedan chair and left.

Looking at Huang Du, who left in a hurry, Yang Cunzhong, who had been smiling all the time, sighed slightly, how could he not know in his heart that these officials of the Transshipment Division who died on the banks of the Qinhuai River were just victims of the battles of the big men in Jiankang City in the past few days.

Zhong Ping was alone, but as Zhong Ping, who promoted Chang Ping, how could these people under him not know whether their boss was through gold or not?

At the beginning, I searched the entire Jiankang, and I wore my mouth in front of Huang Du, and I didn't get a trace of the news and whereabouts of these people, but now it's good, one day there is one in the Qinhuai River, and the general leader of the transfer department is missing, and it is estimated that tomorrow morning, I will have to come over to collect the body for the general leader, and ask Huang Du to recognize the body.

On the edge of Yanque Lake in the royal garden villa in Dongcheng, King Xin has frowned and sighed more and more times in the past few days, even if he came to Jiankang City, but now it seems that it is useless, and even Shi Miyuan now has a great intention of alienating himself.

King Xin, who was frowning along the edge of Yanque Lake and thinking hard about how to break the predicament in front of him, heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him, and instantly turned around in a hurry, only to see Li Heng and Li Mengjian walking over quickly.

"Excuse me, how? What did Shi Miyuan say? Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, asked anxiously.

After Li Heng glanced at Li Mengjian, his expression was a little heavy and said: "Shi Miyuan said, there are only so many people who can help King Yan, and the officials of the Transshipment Division have been floating on the banks of the Qinhuai River one after another in the past few days, but...... The head of the Transit Division, Shi Miyuan didn't know where he went. He hoped that King Xin, could you start from Dali Temple and put some pressure on that side. ”

"Where's your side?" King Xin's brows loosened slightly, no matter what, the Shi family is doing his best now, as soon as those officials die, there will be fewer and fewer witnesses, and the chance of being able to involve himself will become smaller and smaller.

"Zhong Lin has been approved by the Criminal Department, that is to say, Zhong Ping's matter, the Criminal Department has already considered that everyone has obtained stolen goods. Although Dali Temple has not issued a document for a long time, it ....... Li Mengjian looked at King Xin with an ugly expression, paused and said: "According to my Great Song Law: In addition to the prison state, all matters such as soldiers and people, money valley, household registration, enlistment, and prison lawsuits can be adjudicated. Therefore, if Zhong Lin makes up his mind, the arrival or non-arrival of the documents of Dali Temple will not be able to prevent things from continuing to develop. And once Zhong Ping's case is confirmed, it will inevitably involve you, King Xin, and there is no word for the crime you want to add, and when Zhong Ping's confession is done, it will be up to them to decide. ”

"Isn't that ...... Even if this king gives up the Zhong family, he can't stay out of it? Even if Zhong Kang's family is convicted and blames the princess for this incident, this king will be implicated? Xinwang Zhao Xuan's heart couldn't help sinking, the last thing he wanted to see was that it was not easy for him to let go of the Zhong family to abandon the pawn and protect the car, and in the end he would be implicated because of this, and then he would be deprived of the title of King Xin.

Li Heng and Li Mengjian glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads in unison, which can be regarded as acknowledging the fact that King Xin himself expected.

"How's the progress on Lu Zujian's side? Mention the prison envoy Yang Cunzhong, can't he still take it? A glimmer of hope rose in King Shin's heart.

Li Heng shook his head silently, took a deep breath and said: "Yang Cunzhong and Yu Yunwen, who was the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple at that time, are good friends, and ...... Yu Yunwen and Ye Qing are good friends, and Ye Qing is Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, so Lu Qing's wooing is still a threat, and it doesn't work at all. Yang Cunzhong is like a stinky and hard stone, no one can say anything about him. ”

"Does he have no family?" King Shin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, but it has been protected by Ye Qing. We're one step late. Li Heng lowered his head and said.

"Does Zhao Ruyu know about this?" King Xin pointed to the corridor pavilion next to him, and then took the lead in and sat down, looked at Li Heng who came over and asked Li Mengjian.

Li Heng rolled his eyelids, and did not answer King Xin's question, but said, "What the last general is worried about now is...... Shi Miyuan will secretly communicate with Zhao Ruyu, although he is now dead, mentioned, managed, and escorted, but the most critical leader is now nowhere to be found, if this person is found by Zhao Ruyu, and there is a general sentence Zhong Lin by his side, things will be even more unfavorable to you. At this moment, the last general thinks that only by antagonizing Shi Miyuan and Zhao Ruyu is the top priority. ”

"Why?" Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, was a little surprised, Li Heng didn't reply to his question, but directly suggested what he should do next, but at this time, he, the king of letters, didn't have the time to delve into it, so he asked in a cold tone, expressing his dissatisfaction to some extent.

"Because Jiankang transfer makes yellowness." Li Heng pointed to the end of the road.

And Li Mengjian, the prefect on the side, thought for a while and said: "General Li is right, Huang Du is a transfer envoy, so he also has more right to speak, and what he says seems to be more credible than that commander-in-chief." So if Shi Miyuan and Zhao Ruyu are too close, then ...... What the hell is going on, who instructed Zhong Pingtongjin, but it is really up to them to play at will. ”

King Xin frowned and thought about it, and his attention was instantly attracted by Li Mengjian's words, from the topic just now, whether Shi Miyuan and Zhao Ruyu would secretly join forces and conspire to deal with him.

Shi Miyuan has a Jiankang transfer envoy under his command, Zhao Ruyu has a Jiankang general judgment, and he has the Jiankang prefect in his hands, but Zhao Ruyu still has Han Yanxuan behind him, so will the Shi family join forces with the Han family? What benefits does Shi Miyuan want to get?

At this time, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but imagine how good it would be if he had Ye Qing's sharp blade in his hand, and if he had Ye Qing, it would be equivalent to having Yang Cunzhong, the prison envoy, so that he was not only not afraid of them listing the crimes for him, but he could even overturn the case for Zhong Ping and protect the safety of the Zhong family!

And if this is really the case, then all this carefully designed by Zhao Ruyu will be in the end...... Does he dare to really use the Nankang army to fight a tough battle in Jiankang City? Isn't he afraid that the court will really ask for guilt? Aren't you afraid that the Imperial City Division will directly intervene in the Nankang Army?

"Can you find Ye Qing in Jiankang?" King Xin looked up at Li Heng and asked.

"The last general has been looking for the past few days, and has been sending people to secretly follow Jiankang to send some prison envoy Yang Cunzhong, presumably the dead body of Qinhuai River in the past few days will inevitably make Yang Cunzhong worried, and he will not be relieved of his family, so he will definitely look for Ye Qing. At that time, he will inevitably be able to see Ye Qing. Li Heng said respectfully.

Zhao Xuan nodded, then looked at Li Heng, as if he had made a major decision in his heart, got up and walked in the direction of the study, and said, "Come with me." ”

A short secret letter was sealed by King Xin himself, and then handed it to Li Heng, saying, "If you really have the opportunity to see Ye Qing, give him this secret letter for this king." ”

Li Heng took the fluttering secret letter and glanced at the auspicious cloud fire paint on it, which is a royal exclusive fire paint, if outsiders open it privately, it will be difficult not to be found that the letter has been opened.

This can also be seen from this, the current King of Letters, in this special period, attaches great importance to Ye Qing in the treacherous and changeable situation of Jiankang.

As Li Heng put away the secret letter, after King Xin waved away, only King Xin and the prefect Li Mengjian were left in the study of Nuoda.

The window was slowly opened by King Xin, and he happened to see Li Heng walking briskly outside, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "Compared to Ye Qinglai, a small deputy commander is obviously not worth the king's attention." ”

"But ......." Li Mengjian looked at King Xin's back facing out of the window, and said cautiously: "But if Ye Qing ignores it, then wouldn't you ......?" ”

"No, it won't." Zhao Xuan shook his head slowly, continued to look out the window and said: "Protecting the princess all the way to Jiankang and protecting the princess in Jiankang is the will of the emperor, the queen mother and the queen. So if he borrowed a hundred guts, he would not watch the princess become a victim in the battle between the king and Zhao Ruyu. ”

Li Mengjian's face was happy, and he listened to King Xin's analysis and said: "It is said that Ye Qing and Zhao Ruyu and Han Yanxuan are quite good in Lin'an, but now because they want to protect the princess, they will inevitably have a falling out?" This move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and the king is wise. ”

Li Mengjian suddenly realized, and looked at King Xin's upright back who seemed to have become confident again.

But Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, seemed to be not very satisfied, and shook his head at the window where he had already lost Li Heng's figure, then turned around, sat down behind the desk, sighed and said: "As the so-called breaking the enemy is 10,000 and losing 3,000, if you want Ye Qing to work hard for this king in the Jiankang conflict, this king has to clear up his relationship with Shi Miyuan, and even push Li Heng to Shi Miyuan." Therefore, if this matter can be done according to the king's wishes, the king cannot be regarded as winning. ”

"I lost Li Heng's life, got Ye Qing's life, and lost Shi Miyuan's team, but if you sincerely win over Ye Qing, wouldn't Dali Temple return to your control?" Li Mengjian, the prefect, has been thinking about the position of the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple for a long time, but King Xin has never promoted him, but has always placed him in Jiankang.

And now the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple is Shi Miyuan's "retainer" Hong Zun, or it can be said that it was Shi Hao, the Duke of Wei, who left Shi Miyuan's right and left hand in the court.

So if the king of Xin in front of him has a clear relationship with Shi Miyuan, then for Li Mengjian, it is a completely good thing with no disadvantages, as long as this time in the whirlpool of the undercurrent of Jiankang City, King Xin can retreat with his whole body, then his career Li Mengjian will also be a smooth road, the future is limitless, and it is even possible to really enter the temple and become the pillar of the court.

King Xin looked at Li Mengjian, who had naked ambition for the position of Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again: just as Li Mengjian guessed, in his secret letter to Ye Qing, he planned to use the position of Right Shaoqing as a price in exchange for Ye Qing's help in Jiankang.
