Pang Yidian and Princess Anya confronted each other at the gate of the city, which alarmed not only Nangong Yihe and the shadow supervisor Sang Jie, but also all those who had a heart in Tianjing City quickly remembered this matter.

Southern Chu is a peaceful place, and the internal is not very stable, so under the control of Emperor Tianyao, there are very few people from the Jin and Zhou countries in Southern Chu who come over, and this time Pang Yidian made Chu on behalf of Zhou, which has been the only exchange between the two countries in recent years.

As for the last time the two sides intersected, it should have been when Emperor Amano had just ascended the throne, and Nanchu, as a friendly neighbor, specially sent an envoy to Shengjing to congratulate.

Of course, the exchange between the two countries refers to the official dispatch of envoys to visit, which is a relatively high-level political policy. cure, so the number is relatively scarce.

In fact, there are still some private and ordinary exchanges between the two countries, but they are rarely known by ordinary subjects.

But in any case, this time Pang Yi's envoy to Chu is a rare visit from the two northern countries in recent years, which has already attracted people's attention, but it is involved with Princess Anya, the top powerful person in Southern Chu, so everyone can't ignore it.

Whether it is the relationship between the gossip Pang Yidian and Princess Anya's mother and son, or the purpose of being curious and vigilant about the envoy of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in short, after the incident at the city gate, the matter quickly fermented in Tianjing.

The post house where Pang Yi Hall settled and Princess Anya Mansion quickly became the focus of people.

……………

In the forty-ninth year of Tianyao, the second day of the third month

On the second day after Pang Yidian entered Tianjing City, as the envoy of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he magnificently submitted a request to the Southern Chu Rite Department and Honglu Temple to see Emperor Tianyao.

In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Tianyao of the Southern Chu Palace sent someone to reply:

The dragon body is not safe, and the envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty are all handled by the imperial grandson.

Pang Yidian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked the Southern Chu Rite Department and Honglu Temple to meet the imperial grandson, but the officials of the Southern Chu Rite Department reported Pang Yidian's request to the East Palace where the imperial grandson was located, but only received a two-word reply.

Not available!

Tianjing North City, the post house where the Western Zhou envoys lived

Pang Yidian quietly closed his eyes in the backyard to recuperate, and Jiang Zang walked in with a serious face.

"My lord, there's news."

Pang Yidian opened his eyes and said lightly: "Say." ”

Jiang Zang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "The last general quietly gave the head of Wu of the Ministry of Rites fifty taels of gold, and he barely got a message from his mouth, the emperor of Southern Chu and the imperial grandson don't see us, it seems to be ...... Princess Anya makes a force behind her back. ”

"Sure enough, it's her."

Pang Yidian looked like he had expected it, and then said slowly with some thoughtfulness.

"It seems that if you want to see the emperor's grandson, the envoy really has to go back to his hometown."

Jiang Zang's eyes moved, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, when are we leaving?" ”

"There's no hurry."

Pang Yidian smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, blew on the hot air gently, and said slowly: "I suspect that Nan Chu probably already knows the situation in Beiling, so he deliberately hung our appetites, forced us to be anxious, and then drilled into the set they had set up."

Therefore, we can't act rashly, as soon as we move, we will lose the opportunity and be led by the nose everywhere. ”

Jiang Zang nodded, and couldn't help asking: "Then we can't keep delaying it, the situation in Beiling is getting more and more difficult, and the later the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Beiling." ”

Pang Yidian took a sip of water, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Don't worry, it won't be too long, it is estimated that it won't be long before someone will come to the door." ”

“？”

Jiang Zang looked at Pang Yidian who was playing dumb riddles and was a little confused, scratching his brows, he didn't understand what the other party was doing, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to ask in detail, so he could only hold his puzzle in his stomach.

……………

Pang Yidian didn't have the opportunity to worry about Jiang Zang's doubts, he sent Jiang Zang out, and then called a man named Yu Er.

On the surface, this person is a guard in the Western Zhou Dynasty envoy team, but his secret identity is the Zhengwupin Detective Envoy of the Prosecutor's Office, and the commander of the Prosecutor's Office is Yu Huai, one of the famous Four King Kongs under Mei Qianqiu, nicknamed Ghost Sorrow.

This Yu Huai was specially transferred to the envoy team by Empress Dowager Ning, in order to help Pang Yidian act conveniently in Southern Chu.

After all, in other people's territory, every move of the envoy team is under the nose of Nan Chu, if you want to do something, you must use some special means, and these, the Western Zhou Dynasty belongs to the Prosecutor's Office is the best at.

"Lord Yu, how many of our dark lines can be contacted in Tianjing."

Pang Yidian looked at Yu Huai, who had a gloomy face in front of him, and felt a little wrong in his heart.

When he was in the Western Zhou Dynasty, he didn't hear much about this ghostly "glorious deeds", and they all said that this person was ruthless and ruthless, and the number of people who were tortured to death by his own hands was hundreds, and he was an out-and-out hot-handed slaughterer.

To be honest, working with such a cool official with blood on his hands, it is definitely unrealistic to say that Pang Yidian is not afraid at all.

Fortunately, Huai didn't notice Pang Yidian's emotions towards him, or he noticed it, but he didn't care, anyway, there were more people who were afraid of him, and Pang Yidian was not one worse.

However, no matter what he thought in his heart, Yu Huaiming was very respectful to Pang Yidian on his face.

This kind of respect is not simply a cover for hiding his identity, but when he was sent by the Empress Dowager Ning to make Chu, he was specially explained, this time he sent an envoy to Southern Chu, Pang Yidian was the main one, and he was responsible for obeying orders and cooperating.

It seems that Yu Huai is a high-level eagle dog in the Prosecutor's Office, no matter how ruthless and fierce his personality is, as long as he can rise to a high position, it at least shows that his loyalty to the royal family is guaranteed.

Therefore, Pang Yidian has a holy destiny to be around, and Yu Huai is ruthless and reckless, but he easily does not dare to explode in front of Pang Yidian.

As soon as Pang Yidian asked, Yu Huai didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took out a cowhide tube from his arms, opened it, took out a white cloth with writing inside, and handed it to Pang Yidian.

"Huge man, this is before the official leaves. Specially from the commander of the Lord that asked for the secret line roster of the Tianjing Prosecutor's Office. ”

……………

"So little?"

Seeing that there were only a few names of less than a hundred people on this list, Pang Yidian was a little surprised.

"Huge people don't know anything."

Hearing Pang Yidian's words, Yu Huai smiled bitterly and explained: "Although Southern Chu is a small country, it is extremely guarded against the intelligence infiltration of my Great Zhou and Northern Jin Dynasty, and there are people from the shadow supervisor everywhere to investigate and arrest, especially Tianjing, which can be called a net.

In addition, the customs and habits of the north and the south are different, so it is difficult for our people to pretend to be Chu people and lurk in Southern Chu, and it is difficult to guarantee loyalty in terms of buying and using local Chu people as dark lines.

So. Don't look at the less than 100 people on this list, but they are already a reliable dark line that our commander has spent ten years painstakingly planted.

And even so, the lower officials dare not guarantee how many of the people here are still alive, and how many have rebelled. ”

"Tsk......"

After listening to what Yu Huai said, and then looking at the unremarkable white cloth in his hand, Pang Yidian suddenly sighed a little emotionally for a while: "It seems that your prosecutor's hall is not easy." ”

Yu Huai glanced at Pang Yidian, who was a little emotional, strangely, and his face eased a little, and he replied softly: "It's all for Your Majesty and the court, and you should do your best." ”

Pang Yidian nodded, and returned the white cloth to Yu Huai: "I don't understand this information, so I'll leave it all to you to deal with, I have only one request, fully cooperate with the envoy to guide and promote the heart of Southern Chu to resist the Jin, and encourage Southern Chu to send troops to the Northern Jin Dynasty to respond to my Beiling army." ”

Yu Huai bowed his head, got up and arched his hand: "Xia Guan understands." ”

After that, Yu Huai turned around and was about to leave, but was held by Pang Yidian with one hand.

I saw this simple and thick fat man in front of his grandfather Pang Longhu, but at this time, his round face showed a sinister light.

"I heard that Princess Anya has two sons, and I want to find a way to let them come to our post house to make trouble, remember, this envoy needs to make a big move to break the situation now, so the more serious the trouble they come, the better."

Yu Huai was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Xiaguan will do it." ”

…………

Night

A fire suddenly broke out in the backyard of the post house, and although it was quickly extinguished by the post soldiers and the envoy guards of the Western Zhou Dynasty, several people were still burned to death, among them, there was Yu Huai's pseudonym Yu Er.

Early the next morning, people from the Nanchu Rite Department and Honglu Temple came to appease Pang Yidian's emotions, and then called the criminal department to investigate whether the fire in the backyard was man-made or accidental, and carefully inspected the burned corpses that were completely black and unrecognizable.

After the people of the Criminal Department finished their investigation, they left the post house and turned two alleys, and immediately a few shadow supervisors and shadow guards with leather on their heads and cloaks black on the outside and red on the inside surrounded them.

"Well, what's going on with this fire."

An old man from the Criminal Department stood up, touched his beard and said: "There is a smell of fire oil at the scene, and it is very likely that it was arson, but who set the fire, it is still unclear."

In addition, a total of six people were burned to death this time, four were post house post soldiers, and two were guards of the envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the number of corpses was right, but because the corpses were burned too badly, it was impossible to verify them specifically. ”

The leader of the shadow guard touched his chin: "Listen to this, why is it so like a golden cicada shedding its shell." ”

Several people from the Criminal Department looked at each other and smiled in unison: "A few of us think the same way, but after all, we are envoys from the Western Zhou Dynasty and our identities are sensitive, so we ........."

"Okay, I see, thank you for your help, we'll take care of the rest."

The leader of the shadow guard nodded clearly, and shouted to a few people in the criminal department, the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, everyone in the criminal department said goodbye and left, and the leader of the shadow guard turned around and called his subordinates.

"Immediately report this matter to Father-in-law Zhang, in addition, transfer some brothers over, and show me the inside and outside of the post house, and all the people inside the post house can be replaced by our people."

The subordinate shadow guard was a little puzzled: "My lord, do you need to work so hard?" It's not enough trouble to find the criminal department and change people in disguise.

To say small, let's go in and arrest people directly, get them to prison, all kinds of guys come to do something, and the iron beating man will recruit everything. ”

"!"

The commander of the shadow guard scolded: "Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to arrest people directly, but the father-in-law above has repeatedly ordered us not to be rude, and we want to act in secret, do you know what it means to act in secret?" ”

The subordinate shadow guard couldn't reply to the training, and the commander of the shadow guard ignored him, looking in the direction of the post house by himself, his eyes flickering.

"Grandpa Sang guessed correctly, this team of envoys from the Western Zhou Dynasty really hid an important secret, set fire to get out, this way looks like a peer, it should be a master of the Prosecutor's Hall.

I just don't know who it is, the Four King Kongs? Two pacification envoys? Or is Mei Qianqiu in person? ”
