A green eight-person sedan chair stopped in front of the door of "Tianbo Mansion", the sedan chair fell to the ground, the sedan chair man lifted the sedan curtain, and Kou Xiang walked out of the sedan chair.

Outside the gate of the mansion, a young man in green clothes hurriedly ran over and said, "Kou Xiang is here?"

Kou Xiang nodded and asked, "Is the old lady resting?"

The young man hurriedly said: Not yet, the old lady and the sixth lady are practicing martial arts in the backyard to test Zongbao's martial arts.

Kou Xiangdao: I have something to see the old lady, please ask the little brother to report it.

The young man hurriedly said: Kou Xiang is not an outsider, there is no need to report, the little one will take Kou Xiang to meet our old lady.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang smiled and said politely: Little brother, thank you.

The young man said: No thanks, Kou Xiang is polite.

After that, he took Kou Xiang and walked towards the house.

On the martial arts training ground in the backyard, a handsome young man of 16 or 7 years old dressed in white was practicing his spear.

There were two wooden chairs outside the venue, one of which sat an old woman of about sixty years old with silver hair, and the other sat a woman in her thirties who was born beautifully.

Behind them stood two beautiful girls in red and green clothes, about twenty years old.

After the young man finished using a set of marksmanship, he put away his gun and stood in the middle of the field, and then looked at the four people outside the field worriedly.

The two girls first smiled and applauded, and the middle-aged beauty turned her head to look at the old woman on the side, and the old woman nodded with a smile on her face and said: "It's good that Zong Bao can make my Yang family's marksmanship like this at a young age, but the last trick back to the carbine is not enough to make it hot, as if it is not strong enough."

Hearing this, Zong Bao nodded and said: Grandma, you are right, as soon as I get this trick back, I feel that I don't have enough strength.

The old woman said: This is related to the fact that your skills are still shallow, and you must practice diligently in the future, and your internal strength will naturally grow.

Zong Baodao: Yes, grandma.

The young man came over with Kou Xiang.

The old woman hurriedly stood up from her chair and asked in surprise: "Kou Xiang is here?"

After that, he said to the gatekeeper: Yang Si, why don't you come to report me so that I can go to meet Kou Xiang.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang smiled and said: Why is the old lady so polite, I often come and go, and I am not a guest, what else do you greet.

Hearing this, the old lady smiled with a hearty "haha" and said: It's not a guest, it's a good thing, it's a good thing.

After that, he paused, and said: Kou Xiang is visiting so late, there must be something very important to tell the old body.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang nodded and said: The old lady guessed it, yes, I have a very important matter to discuss with you.

The old lady hurriedly said: Okay, let's go in the house.

After that, he turned his head to the middle-aged beautiful woman and said: Xiulan, you are here to watch Zong Bao practice marksmanship a few more times, and I have something to say to Kou Xiang.

The middle-aged beautiful woman hurriedly answered: Yes, mother.

Only then did Kou Xiang notice the middle-aged beauty present, and hurriedly said: The Lord of Cheshire is also here.

In a blink of an eye, I saw the two girls again, and said: Yo, the eighth sister and the ninth sister are also here.

The middle-aged beauty smiled and returned the salute.

The eighth sister and the ninth sister saluted Kou Xiang: How is Kou Xiang?

Kou Xiang smiled and said: Okay, good, I haven't seen you for a few days, the eighth sister and the ninth sister are much more beautiful again, by the way, have you taken a fancy to the son of a minister, if so, just tell me, and I will take the time to be a matchmaker for you.

Hearing this, the eighth sister and the ninth sister "giggled" and said in unison: We don't want it.

Hearing this, the old lady sighed lightly and said: I made these two girls sad to death, their hearts are too strong, and their vision is high, so far no man can enter their eyes, by the way, Kou Xiang, do you have a suitable candidate to mention.

Kou Xiangdao: The people I know are all literati and ink artists who play with pens, the eighth sister and the ninth sister are all martial arts, and after the door, those literati will not look down on them.

After that, he paused, and then suggested in a changed tone: Old lady, why don't you let them out and break through, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers on the rivers and lakes, there are all kinds of capable people, and the choice is much larger.

Hearing this, the old lady shook her head and said: Although the eighth sister and the ninth sister have fought with the old body a few times, they must have never broken through the rivers and lakes, and they have no experience in the rivers and lakes.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang nodded and said: That's right, but ------Old lady, I will tell you about this matter later, maybe I can use the two girls."

Hearing this, the old lady was stunned and said: What can they do with these two girls?

Kou Xiang smiled and said: Old lady, don't underestimate your two daughters, they are very useful.

The old lady stretched out his hand and said, "Kou Xiang, let's go, let's talk in the house."

Entering the living room, Kou Xiang and Lao Taijun sat down on two chairs.

The servant gave each person a bowl of tea and withdrew.

Kou Xiang got straight to the point: Old lady, do you know what happened in Luoyang City recently?

The old lady said: Isn't it just that the emperor's uncle Wang privately recruited troops and horses in Luoyang, it's not a big deal, and tens of thousands of people can't make any big waves.

Kou Xiangdao: I'm not talking about the king of Luoyang recruiting troops and horses, but about a new county sent by the emperor.

Hearing this, the old lady shook his head and said: The old body has not been to the court for a long time, and I don't know about Luoyang Zhixian.

After speaking, he paused, and said in a puzzled tone: Kou Xiang, is a small magistrate worthy of your attention as a prime minister?

Kou Xiang smiled and said: This magistrate is different from those small magistrates sent out in the past, it is a big magistrate sent by the emperor with small power and no quality, plus this kid is not afraid of heaven and earth, and there is nothing he dares not to do if he is bold and reckless. He only went to Luoyang for a few months, and he turned Luoyang City upside down, and dozens of officials from Luoyang City jointly signed to join him, and even the king of Luoyang joined him.

Hearing this, the old lady's eyes lit up and said with interest: Oh, there is such a thing, interesting, interesting, Kou Xiang, quickly tell the old man about this special county.

Kou Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell the old lady what I know, here's the thing------

Kou Bi talked to the old lady by comparison.

After hearing this, the old lady laughed and said: Copy the prefect's house, arrest the prefect, and let the prefect's family take the silver to redeem it, this Li Zhixian really wants to come out, my Great Song Dynasty has never had this kind of thing since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Kou Xiang, judging from the things you said, this Li Zhixian is a good official, but you look like you are very worried about this Zhixian, why?

Kou Xiangdao: I'm not worried about this person, I'm worried that the power given to him by the Queen Mother is too great.

Hearing this, the old lady was stunned and asked: What is the relationship between him and the queen mother?

Kou Xiangdao: The Empress Dowager accepted him as a righteous son, and transferred the jade plate of the prison country given by the emperor to the Empress Dowager to this Li Zhixian, old lady, you should know how much power this jade plate has.

Hearing this, the old lady nodded and said: The old body knows that the jade plate in the queen mother's hand has the right to appoint and dismiss officials of all sizes across the country, the right to cut first and then play, and the right to transfer troops.

Kou Xiangdao: A small magistrate has so much power in his hands, wouldn't it be burdensome.

The old lady said: The queen mother must have her reasons for doing this.

After that, he guessed again: Does the Queen Mother want to use this Li Zhixian to contain the emperor's uncle.

Kou Xiangdao: Maybe, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it's not containment, but the cooperation between the two.

Hearing this, the old lady was shocked and said: You mean, Li Zhixian of Luoyang and the king of Luoyang came together, is this possible? Didn't you just say that the king of Luoyang participated in this Li Zhixian book?

Kou Xiangdao: This may be a smoke screen put by the king of Luoyang, as far as I know, this Li Zhixian has a very good relationship with Zhao Ying, the daughter of the king of Luoyang, and it is very likely that he will be recruited by the king of Luoyang as a county horse, if this is the case, the consequences can be imagined.

Hearing this, the old lady was shocked: This is terrible, Kou Xiang, you should tell the emperor, and then let the emperor order to take back the jade plate.

Kou Xiangdao: The jade plate was given by the Queen Mother, and if you want to take it back, it must be taken back by the Queen Mother herself, if the Queen Mother does this, won't she become a capricious villain, which is also too damaging to the reputation of the Queen Mother. Besides, Li Zhixian is the queen mother's righteous son, if we go to persuade the queen mother to take back the jade plate, this is not clear that we are provoking the relationship between other people's mother and son, of course, the emperor can't say it, this will make the queen mother feel that the emperor is a narrow-minded person who can't tolerate people.

Hearing this, the old lady also felt that this matter was difficult to do, and couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: What should I do then?

Kou Xiang said: I have a remedy and prevention, but I don't have enough strength alone, so I came to find the old lady and wanted to ask the old lady to enter the palace together tonight to pay tribute to the emperor.

The old lady asked: Kou Xiang, what solution have you thought of?

Kou Xiangdao: The emperor will definitely issue an order to remove the prefect of Luoyang, so we will ask the emperor to send a prefect with the power of life and death to Luoyang to clamp down on the two, and issue a secret decree to this prefect, if something urgent happens, he can directly go to the Luoyang military camp to transfer troops to suppress it.

Hearing this, the old lady nodded and said, "Good way, who does Kou Xiang plan to send?"

Kou Xiangdao: How is Bao Zheng, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture?

Lao Taijun said: Bao Zhifu line, this person is honest and honest, iron-faced and selfless, and there are three bronze guillotines given by the emperor, you can cut it first and then play, besides, Bao Zheng has a large group of capable people around him, such as Gongsun Ce, Zhanzhao, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, etc., the strength is enough.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang shook his head and said: These people around Bao Zheng are still far behind the people around King Luoyang and Li Zhixian, the Luoyang Wangfu is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and Li Zhixian is surrounded by masters like clouds, and Li Zhixian himself is a great master of martial arts.

Hearing this, the old lady was shocked and said: There will be so many capable people around a county magistrate, it won't be a false rumor, right?

Kou Xiangdao: It will never be wrong, otherwise how could a few people in a small county yamen go on a rampage in the prefect's yamen and turn the prefect's yamen on their backs. I once heard Master Shi of the Ministry of Officials tell one thing, on the day of the search of the governor's house, Luoyang Liu Jiedu envoy was also present, he had more than a dozen guards with good martial arts, but he was all put down by a woman beside Li Zhixian.

Old Taijun said: It's so powerful, by the way, how could Master Shi know so clearly.

Kou Xiangdao: Miss Shi Yao, the daughter of Master Shi, is a disciple of Li Zhixian, and her martial arts are taught by Li Zhixian.

Hearing this, the old lady nodded and said: I see, the relationship is quite complicated.

After that, he paused, and then asked: Has Kou Xiang already thought of a countermeasure?

Kou Xiang smiled and said, "Old lady, didn't I already say it just now?"

Hearing this, the old lady was stunned, thought about it and said with a smile: After making trouble for a long time, you have hit the idea of my two daughters.

After that, he paused, and then said: Although the martial arts of the eighth sister and the ninth sister are not bad, in the jargon of martial arts, they are not yet at the first-class level, and I am afraid they will not be of great use. That's it, I'll let Qi Niang

Go with them, and then bring a team of generals trained by my Yang Mansion, this should be fine.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang said happily: Of course you can, Qi Niang Du Jin'e is the daughter of Du Baochuan, the leader of the green forest, and her martial arts are the true inheritance of her father, and among the eight daughters-in-law of your Yang Mansion, she also has the highest martial arts, and the generals in the Yang Mansion are all warriors who block a hundred with one block, okay, great.
