It's just that Han Xiao covered it up very well, and in a moment's effort, a smile appeared on Han Xiao's face, and he said to Zhao Chenfeng: "In this way, thank you General Zhao!" ”

sat back in the seat and feasted for a while, but before he knew it, it was getting late and late, and Han Xiao also made a proper farewell.

As soon as he left Zhao Chenfeng's mansion, Han Xiao whispered to one of his subordinates: "You immediately bring a few brothers to follow Zhang, Li, and Feng, see where they go for a while, and come back to inform me as soon as you find out." ”

"Yes, sir!" Baihu received the order, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night with a few brocade captains.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that the 'crackling' firecrackers sounded again, and the brocade clothes brought people back.

Seeing Han Xiao, who had been waiting for a night without closing his eyes, Baihu replied: "My lord, not long after you came back last night, the three generals Zhang, Li, and Feng left General Zhao's mansion. However, they did not go home directly, but went to the barracks and the city gate for a long time, and did not return to their respective mansions until half an hour ago. ”

Hearing this, Han Xiao was silent for a long time, then got up from the chair, moved his stiff limbs, and said, "It's hard work, you guys go back and rest first!" ”

After the hundred households left, Han Xiao returned to his seat again, squinting his eyes as if he was not asleep, knowing that a long time had passed, Han Xiao opened his eyes again, called the remaining few thousands of households and hundreds of households in brocade clothes who had not stayed up late, and ordered: "This official always feels that there is something strange in this matter, but I am afraid that there is nothing to investigate here in Zizaizhou."

So starting today, all of you will leave Zizai Prefecture in disguise and go to Shenyang, Tieling, Liaohai, Jiuliancheng, Haizhou, Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and Jianzhou to see if you can find anything there. Remember, don't let the other person find out what you're doing. ”

"Your Excellency put it down, and the lowly people will bring people over!"

After speaking, several hundreds and thousands of households began to dress up in disguise, and led people out of the city quietly and disappeared.

Han Xiao, on the other hand, ate a few dumplings sent by the captain of Jinyi indiscriminately, and went back to the bedroom to rest.

And at this moment, Zhao Chenfeng had just eaten breakfast in his mansion, and he said to himself: "The old man's subordinates are more unruly than one another, but I am afraid that even if he has been ordered, Commander Han will not necessarily be received by the good students, and he will offend him in vain." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Chenfeng shouted outside the door: "Someone!" ”

"What do you command?" The butler outside the door heard the voice and hurried over to ask.

"Go and ask Commander Han of Jinyi Wei to come over, the old man is worried that Commander Han will be troubled by the brothers below when he goes to the guard, and the old man is a little uneasy and wants to accompany him in person."

"Yes, sir!" At that, the butler turned and left the room.

I didn't want to just turn around, but I was stopped by Zhao Chenfeng, "Wait, it seems a little rude for you to go like this, let's go in person!" ”

With that, Zhao Chenfeng got up and walked out the door.

"Sir, what is your identity? Where is the use of this! The housekeeper didn't expect his master to invite Han Xiao in person, and he looked a little surprised.

"What is the identity of the old man?" Zhao Chenfeng said disapprerovitically, "Although the old man is from the royal family, in terms of official positions, he is the same as the commander of Han. Moreover, Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the old man does not dare to offend him plainly, so let them worry about it. ”

After speaking, no longer leaving the beak butler, Zhao Chenfeng left the mansion and rode forward to ask Han Xiao to go to the guard house with him......

"General Zhao, my family has just fallen asleep, you ......" Seeing Zhao Chenfeng, who came to invite Han Xiao in person, the Jinyi captain outside his residence was a little embarrassed.

"You mean Lord Han just fell asleep?" The look on Zhao Chenfeng's face was a little surprised, but his eyes turned several times, and he stared at the brocade-clothed captain with some suspicion.

"Indeed!" The brocade-clothed lieutenant replied, "If you don't believe me, general, you can ask the other people in the courtyard!" ”

"How can the old man not believe your words?" Zhao Chenfeng smiled and said, "The old man is just confused, is Lord Han in a hurry, why didn't he sleep all night."

Of course, if you don't answer well, you don't have to be serious, that's what the old man asked. ”

"There's nothing bad to answer!" Captain Jinyi said: "Last night, as soon as my adults fell asleep, an urgent message from Fusang was sent, and my adults didn't dare to slack off, so they dealt with it overnight, so they didn't close their eyes all night......"

"I see!" Zhao Chenfeng nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the old man will retire first." If Commander Han wakes up, you will say that the old man has come to pay him a New Year's greeting today! ”

After speaking, Zhao Chenfeng left Han Xiao's residence.

On the way back, someone asked Zhao Chenfeng: "General, how many words did you say about the captain in brocade just now that are true?"

Shouldn't the matter of Fusang be reported directly to the imperial court, why did Jinyiwei get the news in advance and still handle it by him? ”

"Maybe something really happened to Fuso!" Zhao Chenfeng said uncertainly, "Jinyiwei's ability, maybe you don't know much. According to the old man's knowledge, Jinyiwei not only had his own secret agents in all parts of the Great Zhou, but also in various vassal states, and some of the secret agents even climbed to the top of those sweet potato countries with the full support of Jinyiwei.

Not to mention Fusang, even our Liaodong, in our Liaodong Thirteen Guards, how many secret agents there are, and what positions they sit in, the old man can't figure out the situation, let alone others! ”

"Jinyiwei is so arrogant?" The man was surprised, "Don't the ministers of the military pavilion have an opinion on this?" ”

"How can there be no opinion? Who wants to expose their every move to the surveillance of the Jinyi Guard! Zhao Chenfeng sighed and said, "But Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army after all, and he is directly responsible to His Majesty." If any of the ministers in the DPRK and China object to this, I am afraid that if they don't use Jinyiwei to investigate, His Majesty will suspect their intentions. You must know that Jinyiwei is a sharp weapon directly in the hands of His Majesty! ”

"General, do you think we should send someone to the guards to investigate? If there really is a Jinyi Guard's secret agent lurking, let's take it down......" As he spoke, the subordinate raised his palm and made a movement to wipe his neck.

"No!" Zhao Chenfeng shook his head and said, "Originally, Jinyiwei was already suspicious of us, if we do this again, I'm afraid that Jinyiwei will stare us to death." ”

"Then let Jinyiwei be so arrogant?"

"You don't have to worry, anyway, now that we've cleaned up the whole thing, even if Jinyiwei finds any clues, as long as there is no direct evidence, they can't tell the old man what to do.

Besides, isn't Zhou Junge also about to arrive, as long as Zhou Junge arrives, when the time comes, Jinyiwei will definitely be tied. You must know that among all the ministers of the military pavilion, Zhou Junge is the one who hates Jinyiwei the most. Speaking of this, Zhao Chenfeng smiled lightly.

"Also, you must be honest recently, don't let Jinyiwei find out your identity, otherwise you will be in trouble!" As he spoke, Zhao Chenfeng looked at the eyes of this subordinate and said seriously.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, after so many years, I'm afraid that Jinyiwei has already given up the investigation, and it is not necessarily."

"It's better to be cautious!" Zhao Chenfeng shook his head and said, "Although your identity does not appear on the family tree of the royal family, Jinyiwei's sense of smell is more sensitive than that of a dog, as long as you are targeted by them, they will reveal your identity and background."

Don't be at that time, the old man didn't do anything because of those Goryeo women, but was sent to prison by Jinyiwei because of your affairs. ”

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, I know what to do, and it won't affect Uncle Huang."

In the entire Great Zhou, I am afraid that except for a few people such as Zhao Chenfeng, no one knows the background of this subordinate.

This subordinate's surname is Zhao Mingtan, and he is also from the royal family.

It's just that this Zhao Tan's life experience is a bit rugged, he is the only heir of King Anping who remains in the world, and according to his generation, he is the cousin of today's son.

In that year, King Anping colluded with the Jiangnan gentry to rebel, and after the defeat, he was completely placed under house arrest by Zhang Lingyang. Along with King Anping, he was placed under house arrest, as well as his family.

But Zhao Tan, as a special case, is not among them, because Zhao Tan is the illegitimate son of the prince of Anping.

In other words, Zhao Tan's mother was raised by the prince of Anping, and gave birth to a son of the prince of Anping.

However, because the prince of Anping was very secretive in this outer room back then, there were very few people who knew about this matter, and even King Anping did not know.

It is also because of this that after so many years, Zhao Tan's life has been safe and sound, of course, this is just relative to ordinary people.

As the illegitimate son of the prince of Anping, although Zhao Tan's identity is not on the stage, he has also lived a life of fine clothes and food since he was a child.

Since King Anping was defeated and placed under house arrest, without the help of King Anping's son, Zhao Tan's mother and son had a better life.

Even, back then, Jinyi Wei Shun Teng touched the melon, and also investigated Zhao Tan's mother.

However, in order to cover Zhao Tan's escape, Zhao Tan's mother chose to kill all the subordinates in the house, and then self-immolated to death, thus completely covering up Zhao Tan's identity.

Because although Jin Yiwei suspected that the prince of Anping had an illegitimate child living in the world, with the death of Zhao Tan's mother and the people in the house, no one knew what Zhao Tan looked like.

Jin Yiwei also interrogated the prince of Anping, but Zhao Tan, as his only son living outside, how could the prince of Anping confess it?

Under the hard mouth of the prince of Anping, Jinyiwei really has no way, after all, no matter how he says, no matter how depressed the prince of Anping is, he is the cousin of the Son of Heaven.

Not to mention coercion, even if he used a torture instrument, Jin Yiwei didn't dare to use it, after all, the identity of the royal family is not just talking.

After Zhao Tan fled, after more than a year of wandering, he finally found Zhao Chenfeng, an uncle who was also from the royal family.

To say that since Zhao Tan's mother died, there is still anyone in this world who knows Zhao Tan's background. In addition to his biological father, Wang Shizi of Anping, it must be Zhao Chenfeng.

The reason is very simple, Zhao Tan's mother back then was secretly given to the prince of Anping by Zhao Chenfeng.

Although Zhao Chenfeng was born in the royal family, he is far away from the bloodline of the Son of Heaven after all, and he has already come out of the five suits. So in order to tie up with the prince of Anping and get the power he wanted, Zhao Chenfeng gave Zhao Tan's mother to the prince of Anping.

You must know that before the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, the power of the Anping Mansion was still very large, far from being comparable to Zhao Chenfeng.

It was also because of giving Zhao Tan's mother to the prince of Anping that Zhao Chenfeng got the first official position in his life.

Since the defeat of King Anping, Zhao Chenfeng immediately chose to draw a line with the Anping Palace, and because Zhang Lingyang did not want to expand the matter back then, Zhao Chenfeng has really been safe and sound over the years, and has been on the rise since then.

In just a few years, through a series of his own operations, Zhao Chenfeng achieved the high position of the commander of Liaodong Town, and his subordinates controlled the 70,000 troops of the Thirteen Guards of Liaodong, and became the real emperor of the land of Liaodong.

However, there is still a secret, except for Zhao Chenfeng himself, no one knows about it, that is, before Zhao Tan's mother was given to the prince of Anping, she has always been Zhao Chenfeng's confinement.

Even after giving Zhao Tan's mother to the prince of Anping, Zhao Chenfeng still maintained an improper relationship with him intermittently.

Sometimes, Zhao Chenfeng himself suspected that Zhao Tan might be his son, but he didn't have to.

It was also because of this that Zhao Chenfeng chose to take in Zhao Tan.

Otherwise, with Zhao Chenfeng's character, the first time he saw Zhao Tan, he was afraid that he would have been sent to the court by Zhao Chenfeng to invite merit.

And Zhao Tan didn't know about this, he always thought that it was because his father had a good relationship with Zhao Chenfeng, the clan uncle, so Zhao Chenfeng was willing to take him in.

What Zhao Tan didn't know was that he was most likely Zhao Chenfeng's cheap son.

The relationships are complicated, and it is difficult to explain them to outsiders for a while.

However, Zhao Tan's current identity is just a subordinate in Zhao Chenfeng's mansion, a subordinate who is very trusted by Zhao Chenfeng.

And Zhao Tan has red lips and white teeth, and he looks handsome, which once made people wonder if Zhao Chenfeng is as good as Longyang, otherwise how could he be so good to Zhao Tan, a person who looks like a creamy student?

Even, even Zhao Chenfeng's wife was suspicious of this, but because she had never seen any adultery between the two, she chose to turn a blind eye.

What's more, but Zhao Chenfeng's wife is worried that once her lord's preferences are confirmed, not only will she not be able to raise her head, but her children will also be unable to raise her head.

The preferences of the aristocratic family that are different from ordinary people are originally normal things. But at those times, it was unseemly, so Zhao Chenfeng's wife could only hold the bitterness in her heart and dare not speak to outsiders.

However, it is obvious that since Zhao Tan came to Zhao Chenfeng's mansion, he has risen step by step over the years, from a small guy at the beginning to a foreign affairs housekeeper now, which can be said to be smooth sailing.

Even many people in the mansion assert that it will not be long before Zhao Tan will replace the current position of the housekeeper and become the number one person in the house.

And more importantly, compared with other subordinates, Zhao Tan has a high degree of freedom, he dares to do whatever he wants, and he can withdraw a certain amount of silver money every month in the account room, which is almost the same treatment as the young masters in the house......
