Lao Zhu is actually a pretty fucked emperor, and it is understandable that he mixed sand with Zhongshu Province, but he threw over an iron thistle. Yang Xian, as the head of the secret service, also holds an important position in Zhongshu Province, and he is definitely qualified to fight with Zai Fu with both rights in the open and in the dark.

Lao Zhu was so unruly, which made Li Shancheng nervous, and not long after Yang Xian entered Zhongshu Province, he looked for Yang Xian to give him a dismount and cut a few thorns of this thistle.

Li Shanchang was actually too nervous, although Yang Xian was still the leader of the inspection school, the power in his hands was not as good as before, and there were very few inspection schools that could be mobilized, for example, the inspection school in Suzhou was not under his control now, and he was a little surprised to suddenly come to the door, but he still asked the concierge to quickly bring people to the study.

He took the lamp and waited in the study first, put the lamp on the desk, and sat cross-legged on the futon behind the desk. His desk is very short, the kind of short one before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which Yang Xian specially asked people to make.

I don't know when his hands are raised, as long as his hands are raised high, he will occasionally shake inexplicably, and the recitals that are about to be written will be immediately wasted, but his contact is often confidential, and it is impossible to find a ghostwriter, so it will be better to use this kind of low table.

He habitually glanced at the pen hanger, where there was a strange thing hanging in addition to a few brushes, the upper part was shiny silver, and the lower part was black and round and divided into many small lattices by vertical and horizontal thin lines.

Yang Xian didn't know what it was, but he was sure it was Ma Du's. On the day of Madu's wedding, he almost had his neck cut off and passed out on the spot, and when he woke up in Li Shanchang's carriage, he found a small wooden box in his arms, and this strange thing was inside.

It must have been lost by Ma Du when he was fighting him, and it should have been regarded as his thing by Li Shanchang's entourage. He always carried it with him, and he also tied the thin iron ring of this little thing with a thin rope, hung it on the pen stand, and looked at it a few times a day, always thanking Madu's "kindness".

He imagined this thing as Ma Du's head, and bent his index finger and flicked it hard, and it kept swaying, and a few brushes were messy for a while, as if he had a bad breath in his heart, and Yang Xian suddenly felt much more comfortable.

The porter soon led in a man he knew all too well, it was his former confidant Jiang Quan. However, since he was sent to Jiangxi, his cronies have also been distributed by Lao Zhu and sent elsewhere, he and this Jiang Quan have not seen each other for two years, and it is very strange for him to suddenly come to the door.

Yang Xian waved his hand to let the porter retreat, and when he saw that the doorman was closed, Jiang Quan slowly walked to the desk and bowed, "Subordinate Jiang Quan to see Yang participate in politics!" ”

"Get up, you have followed me for many years, so don't come to this kind of false courtesy." He pointed to the futon opposite, "Sit down, you've arrived in Suzhou, that's a good place, isn't it?" ”

Jiang Quan sat down unceremoniously, "If we don't have a backer to participate in politics, we people will be the same everywhere, especially Suzhou." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Quan sighed and said: "I don't know if I participate in politics, the head of the inspection school in Suzhou is named Yang Shuping, who originally treated me well, but later I heard that I had been a subordinate to you, so he made things difficult for me everywhere, and the benefits were not my share, which was really infuriating." ”

"The prosperous place of Suzhou is also Zhang Shicheng's old place, and it should be a bit of a source to be the leader in Suzhou, but I have never heard of this person, let alone have a dislike for him, how can I make it difficult for you."

"I don't know if I participated in politics, that Yang Shuping was originally just an inconspicuous little boss in Suzhou, and when he killed Zhang Shicheng, he had a relationship with Uncle Ma Guo, and I heard that he was recorded in the credit book, so he became the big boss of Suzhou."

Yang Xian couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, "No wonder he will make things difficult for you, maybe it was instructed by the surname Ma." Ma Du said that he was very wronged, he really didn't do this kind of thing, and he didn't know which Jiang Quan was.

Yang Xian looked up at him, "Do you want to transfer back to me?" The emperor has cut most of my authority to inspect the school, and the Zhongshu Province has not yet gained a firm foothold, so you better wait a little longer. ”

Jiang Quan said mysteriously: "My subordinates have a big deal to report, and if it happens, I can help him participate in politics to get revenge." ”

Yang Xian immediately became interested, "What's the matter?" Tell me about it? ”

"This matter is a long story, his subordinates were squeezed out by Yang Shuping, and they didn't want to live in Suzhou, so they wanted to find some credit to be promoted or transferred elsewhere, and their subordinates planned to track down the whereabouts of Zhang Shicheng's son."

Yang Xian was more interested, "What is the result?" "The world has decided that Zhang Shicheng's son will not be able to make any waves even if he is alive, and if he is caught, it will be a great credit.

"Before the city of Suzhou was broken, Zhang Shicheng dismissed the palace people, and many people took their property and settled in Suzhou, and their subordinates found a few, but they didn't know anything about the whereabouts of Zhang Shicheng's son. Buying meat in a pork shop by chance, the butcher said that his mother-in-law had been a palace person in Zhang Shicheng's palace, and his subordinates asked by the way, who knew that the woman's expression was abnormal, and the subordinates knew that she was tired at a glance, so she tortured her for a while, and she recruited her. ”

"What do you say!" Yang Xian hurriedly asked.

Jiang Quan suddenly lowered his voice and said: "The woman said that after breaking the city, she seemed to see Zhang Shicheng's young son when she went out one day, and there were two people with her, one was Princess Zhang Shicheng's personal palace maid, and the other was ...... Uncle Equestria! The woman called him Mr. Pony, and later saw him go to Suzhou to greet his relatives with great fanfare, and it was certain that it was him. ”

Yang Xian said confusedly: "It's impossible, if the surnamed Ma catches Zhang Shicheng's son, he won't fail to offer it, this is a great merit." Hiss...... Are you saying that you want the surname Ma to let go of Zhang Shicheng's son, this doesn't make sense? ”

Jiang Quan said with a smile: "Participating in politics wisely, as far as his subordinates know, Uncle Ma Guo entered Zhang Shicheng's palace by chance, Zhang Shicheng and his wife treat him very kindly, especially Zhang Shicheng's young son, who often needs Uncle Ma to tell stories to sleep." Zhang Shicheng and his wife died, Uncle Ma took pity on his young son, it is not impossible to let him live, at least he has a crime of knowing and not reporting. ”

Yang Xian slapped the table, suppressing the excitement in his heart, "Where is that woman, but she can be escorted to Yingtian." ”

Jiang Quanzhi hesitated for a moment before saying: "The woman died on the spot after not being tortured, and his subordinates had to silence his entire family, but Yang Shuping still found me, and my subordinates had to flee to ask for help in politics and save their lives......"

Yang Xian was so angry that he stood up tremblingly, took it down along with the low table, and slapped Jiang Quan's face hard. Jiang Quan, a huge man, was stiffly knocked to the ground by a weak scholar of his book, which shows how angry Yang Xian is.

"Rubbish! It turned out that he had come to avoid trouble. Yang Xian's palms trembled with anger, a good chance for revenge was gone, the emperor was the most suspicious and suspicious, the woman's confession may not be able to put Ma Du to death, but it was enough to make the emperor feel guilty, as long as he added a few more fires in the future, he would soon be able to get revenge, but how could he not be annoyed when he met such a subordinate.

"Let's go, the official is already in trouble and can't help you, so if you don't report it, it's just that."

Jiang Quan knelt down to Yang Xian's side and hugged his thighs, "Participating in politics is for the sake of your subordinates who have followed you for many years, saving your subordinates' lives, and repaying your kindness as a cow and a horse in the next life." ”

Seeing that Yang Xian was unmoved, Jiang Quan's eyes rolled, "By the way, the subordinates have also found some clues about Zhang Shicheng's son, or it won't be long before they can be found, and then the evidence is conclusive, and the death of the surnamed Ma will definitely leave no place to be buried." ”

Yang Xian finally relented, "Let's listen to it, don't deceive the official." He picked up the lamp and candle on the ground that was about to go out, and went to help the crooked low table, but he only felt that his hand was sore, as if the slap had drained his strength, and he only helped half of it and fell to the ground.

"Subordinate to help!" Jiang Quan picked up the low table and immediately went to pick up the things that fell on the ground, but in his heart he was quickly making up a perfect lie, there was a round thing next to his knees, he reached out to pick it up but couldn't take it, he took it down with a little force, he didn't notice that there was an iron pin with a ring pressed under the corner of the table.

Yang Xian waved his hand impatiently, "Jiang Quan, don't pick it up, let's talk about it." ”

"Oh!" Jiang Quan put the round thing in his hand on the table along with the book, and the moment he let go, he heard a slight click, and a shiny steel piece popped out of the thing.

"Huh?" The sudden change attracted the attention of the two people, Yang Xian couldn't help but stick his head over, he only felt a dazzling flash of fire, as if he saw a new world......
