Zhang Xuan led the army to disperse Zheng Lun and Sun Ruhe, but could not find Zheng Xiaozhang, Zheng Pufang, Fang Ming, Zheng Tong and others, sent people back to report the news, Su Qing was very nervous, did not dare to close his eyes all night, to the dawn, the Sabre Army someone reported, Zheng Xiaozhang has been intercepted in the ancient general temple eighty miles west of Jizhou City, is being escorted back to the city by Qin Mo and Li Guotai, and will arrive in the afternoon.

Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief and asked the clerk: "Qin Mo, is he fake crazy?" ”

The clerk shook his head, saying that he didn't know, Su Qing said: "He is always so misty and unpredictable, but fortunately, he didn't cause a big disaster." Is there any movement in Danzhou? The clerk said: "I heard that there was a change in Youzhou, Zheng Puxiu ordered him to be on guard, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Su Qing said: "You have to inform Commander Zhuang quickly, be careful of that ...... Misfire. After speaking, he asked with a smile: "Where does the allusion of 'wiping the gun go off' come from, I asked several people who don't know." ”

The clerk said: "I'm afraid it's from which Buddhist scripture, I don't really understand, but I often hear King Yan talk about it." Commander Zhuang is a cautious and serious person, and he does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he will not take the initiative to make trouble. "Saying that, summon the judge, and inform the manor in the name of Su Qing and him that they must not take the initiative to attack without an order.

Not long after the order was issued, Li Guotai sent someone back to inform him that Su Qing and the clerk Zheng Xiaozhang were framed, and now the truth has been revealed, and no one of Zheng Xiaozhang's old ones can be harmed.

The clerk persuaded: "The person hasn't seen it yet, so it's better to wait until the meeting is clear before making a decision, and it will take half a day or so." ”

Su Qing said: "This is the most appropriate." ”

Because of those words, Zheng Xiaozhang, who was imprisoned, was not released for the time being.

At dusk that day, Qin Mo and Li Guotai escorted Zheng Xiaozhang back to the outside of Youzhou City, and Su Qing, Wen Cheng, Chen Guangdao, Zhang Xuan and other senior generals who stayed in Youzhou were all waiting outside the north gate of the new city.

Zheng Xiaozhang saw the crown cover of the palace from a distance, rolled the saddle and dismounted, stepped forward, and asked Su Qing for his guilt. Su Qing hurriedly helped Zheng Xiaozhang up, and comforted him with kind words: "It's me who is confused, I was almost provoked by a treacherous villain, and my own family was killed." Let the chief steward be wronged. ”

Zheng Xiaozhang sighed bitterly: "It's Xiaozhang's incompetence, the enemy lurks under his nose and doesn't know it, and it almost caused a catastrophe." Su Qing said: "The nine surnames have deep intentions and killed the two sons, Li Guotai, you must avenge Puren and Pucheng." Zheng Xiaozhang said: "Don't dare to abolish the public law for personal reasons." Su Qing said: "Today, I will go out and be punished by King Yan, and I will also avenge the brothers Puren and Pucheng." Li Guotai, you heard the truth: those who are in Youzhou but are implicated with the nine surnames would rather be in vain than indulge. ”

Li Guotai had to be ordered to go, since he got Qin Mo's list last night, he had already ordered someone to arrest people, because the plot reversal was too drastic, the nine surnamed henchmen lurking in Youzhou City were caught off guard, and they were caught by the internal security department according to the map.

Now with Su Qing's words, the Internal Security Department can expand its scope and eliminate some people who are related to the nine surnamed henchmen and they don't like it.

The clerk apologized to Zheng Xiaozhang, saying that the situation was chaotic, and he had to take measures to block the governor's mansion and arrest some generals, Zheng Xiaozhang said: "It should be so, and it is the same for me." The clerk said that the truth had been revealed, and immediately ordered the release of the seized general of the Governor's Office. Zheng Xiaozhang said slowly, and said: "The nine surnames are deeply attentive, and many henchmen are lurking very deeply, so they should be handed over to the Internal Security Office for inspection one by one, if it is really innocent, it is not too late to let go, don't leave the villains." ”

Chen Guangdao and others praised Zheng Xiaozhang for being upright and upright.

Su Qing looked at Qin Mo and said with a wry smile: "You deceived us so hard." ”

Qin Mo said: "The poor monk was sent by King Yan, don't leave Hongchen for the time being, don't capture the demon and protect the Dharma, I can't say that I have bitterness in my heart." ”

Qin Mo said that everyone in the clouds and fog did not understand what he meant, and Zheng Xiaozhang explained on his behalf: "The layout of the nine surnames is far-reaching, and they started to lay out when the Yanwang Qianlong was not prosperous, so that all the organs in Liaodong, Youzhou, Chengde, and Ziqing have been infiltrated, and even the core points such as the right wing and the internal security department have their people. King Yan calmly planned, let Manager Qin jump out of the red dust, retreat from the world, watch coldly, and thoroughly investigate the matter with a heart of inaction, and today is finally a complete merit. ”

According to Zheng Xiaozhang, Qin Mo was indeed delirious for a while after being seriously injured, but under the treatment of the divine doctor, he recovered after only half a year, but he was reluctant to take care of things for a while, Li Mao let him go free for a few years, and later saw that he was becoming more and more lazy, so he was given an important task, as an outsider, to thoroughly investigate the forces of the nine surnames that infiltrated Youzhou.

Qin Mo secretly started a new stove, independent of the two major systems of the right compartment and the internal security office, did not get involved with the official family, everything started from scratch, did not use an old person, only responsible for Li Mao alone, and devoted himself to investigating for several years, and finally made a complete merit, and in one fell swoop cracked the huge and sophisticated underground network that the nine surnames spent more than ten years of painstaking efforts to lay out in Youzhou, and captured important figures including Zhang Shengru, the left judge of the Security Bureau, Zheng Pufang, the adopted son of Zheng Xiaozhang, and Zeng Zhen, who was in charge of the core secrets in the right compartment.

Su Qing had heard the names of the nine surnames, but he didn't understand what the nine surnames had against Youzhou, and he didn't believe that the nine surnames were really capable, and even the internal security office and the right wing were infiltrated.

Zheng Xiaozhang further explained: "Even my adopted son Zheng Pufang is their person, which shows how serious the situation is. This person also rebelled against Zheng Tong, the butler who had followed me for decades, but fortunately, Zheng Tong had already converted to the right chamber before he was rebelled by them. ”

Su Qing was surprised, Zheng Tong was Zheng Xiaozhang's housekeeper, and Zheng Xiaozhang was her housekeeper, she naturally knew Zheng Tong, and asked Zheng Tong in surprise for a while: "You are actually a person in the right wing." ”

Zheng Tong replied: "If you go back to the princess, it is not, Zheng Pufang wants to rebel against it, and she tells the manager of Qin, and then she enters the right compartment." Su Qing nodded and praised it, but she didn't believe it in her heart.

Now the truth is revealed to the world, Zheng Xiaozhang was kidnapped by the nine surnames, and the nine surnames wanted to tie him up to Danzhou, induce Youzhou to send troops to attack Danzhou, force Zheng Puxiu, create chaos, and disrupt the rear. As for why they want to mess up Youzhou, it remains to be investigated. Everyone believes that as long as they persevere in investigating, there will be a day when the truth will come out.

Since Zheng Xiaozhang is not guilty, the official should naturally be reinstated, and those implicated by him are not guilty, and the officials of the Grand Governor's Office will return to the government one after another to run errands after being screened by the Internal Security Department, and those who are found to have violated laws and disciplines during the detention period, such as accepting bribes and disregarding human lives, will be severely punished and dealt with in a separate case.

Zheng Xiaozhang died of two sons, so the old henchmen were arrested again, degraded, deposed, deposed, and successively returned to the house among the generals who were laid with many nails in it, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to check, after this turmoil, his position as the chief manager was retained, but his authority was greatly weakened.

At the time of the Youzhou incident, Li Mao was inspecting the defense in Lingzhou, his instructions were still on the way, the fire in Youzhou was burning, thousands of miles away, he could only watch coldly, and now the curtain has fallen, and a few families are happy and a few are sad. Li Mao is generally satisfied with such a result, Zheng Xiaozhang's power is indeed too great, and his finely laid out clamping methods are almost all ineffective, but the situation in Youzhou is not in danger of getting out of control, Zheng Xiaozhang does not control the military power, which is destined to make it difficult for him to make great achievements.

The danger in Youzhou lies in the Nine Surnames and Dongfang, and Li Mao is worried that the two will join forces to take what they need. His worries are by no means superfluous, otherwise there is no need to lay Qin Mo's chess, Qin Mo and Zeng Zhen are the two chess pieces he set up to deal with the crisis, the matter started in a hurry, Qin Mo had to act in advance, although the situation was further deteriorated, but he also exposed himself prematurely, so that the nine surnamed henchmen who were hidden deeper were alert, and the success or failure was half to half.

Zhang Shengru, a henchman surnamed nine who was captured, has followed him since he was in Ziqing, when he helped Li Shigu train the officers of the Pinglu Army and opened a training institute for team officers, Zhang Shengru and Mei Lianqing are his right-hand men, and since then they have been helping him train military horses, with great achievements and high achievements. After the establishment of the Security Bureau, the clerk recommended him to be the left judge, because the post of commander of the Security Bureau has always been held by Xie Biao, and Xie Biao has a lot of affairs, and he has no time to ask about the details, and the real power of the Security Bureau has been manipulated in the hands of Zhang Shengru, which can be described as a high power.

Over the years, Li Mao has treated him well, even if the old Feng Bu came to Youzhou to only be the head of the criminal investigation department, and he was still under him, but now it is found out that he was bought by the nine surnames, and he is willing to be the lackeys of the nine surnames, how can Li Mao not be surprised, not angry, and not regretful?

As for Zheng Pufang, not to mention, Zheng Xiaozhang's adopted son, a rising star in the Youzhou military circle.

Li Mao replied to Youzhou, Zhang Shengru and Zheng Pufang verified their correct bodies and were immediately sentenced to death. Zeng Zhen's identity is special, and she must find out the details of her collusion with the nine surnames, and cooperate with the internal security department to continue to track down the nine surnamed henchmen lurking in the right compartment.

The order was issued, but it was a big question whether Zeng Zhen could live until he went back, she was originally a chess piece used to clear the nine surnames, but it was found to be a chess piece with the nine surnames, is this just a kind of irony for him personally?
