"I met Wang Bo and Meng Rang, it was when they went to Chang'an to meet their teacher Liu Xuan, and I just came back from the envoy Kang Guo." Yang Chong leaned back in his chair, holding a teacup, as if recalling the scene of the year, and said slowly: "Both of them can be called handsome for a while, it's a pity." Did Sun Anzu and Lu Mingyue raise troops? ”

Tang Bi was stunned, Sun Anzu was indeed a relatively large grass coward in Gao Jibo, he had just met Gao Shida, how did Yang Chong know? After thinking about it, Tang Bi could only complain that he was confused, the relationship between Yang Chong and Boling Cui's family spread all over Guanzhong, and Liu Zhuo, a Confucian who was as famous as Liu Xuan, was said to be in Gaochang, and Yang Chong's contact with Hebei was probably a transaction in three or five days, so it would not be clear about the current situation.

Tang Bi hurriedly responded: "Sun Anzu has defected to Gao Shida, and Lu Mingyue has also raised troops, known as the Mo Family Army. ”

Yang Chong and Ling Jing understood why Tang Bi came quickly, Lu Mingyue raised this kind of banner, it was easy to be involved in Yu Wenkai, Yang Chong, and Feng Qiquan, they are well-known self-proclaimed heirs of Moxue, even if the court does not think that the three of them are complicit, they will be wary of Yu Wenkai and Yang Chong.

Yang Chong took a sip of water and asked, "Who is Mr. Tang?" ”

Tang Bi knew the key point, and explained: "The villain himself did not participate in any gang, but only opened an inn in Huangyuan, which has a small name in the place, and receives many people from the south to the north, and has many contacts with the great benevolent people in the county, Xiang Haimingduo, as soon as there is news, he will pass it on to the villain, which is used as capital for chatting after dinner." ”

Xiang Haiming's news is so well-informed that it is almost clearer than the half-concealed mansion newspaper of the government, Yang Chong thought about it, but didn't remember who Xiang Haiming was, and after pondering the good man, Yang Chong asked: "Xiang Haiming is a person from the Maitreya Sect?" ”

Tang Bi's face changed slightly and said: "The two Vajra monks of the Maitreya Sect and the Three Vajra Tanling are now preaching in Guanzhong and have dealings with Xiang Haiming, but whether Xiang Haiming has joined the Maitreya Sect or not, the villain really doesn't know. It's just that Fufeng is now surging with undercurrents, and all forces are fighting for personnel. ”

All forces, Yang Chong suddenly realized, Yang Xuan was moved, and he must be lobbying all parties at this moment, so he asked: "Did you hear any rumors, someone in Fufeng will rebel?" ”

Tang Bi nodded and said, "Although no one says it explicitly, the villain can still see the implication." ”

Yang Chong looked at Tang Bi with a smile for a long time, Tang Bi chose to leave because there were more than two classes of rebels, and they would definitely contain each other, and even tear each other down, and asked: "Do you want to get a position with me, or do business with me, or go back to Gaochang to see it." ”

Tang Bi said confidently: "The villain came with a letter of nomination, and he is willing to follow the adult to hold the whip and fall into the stirrup, and it doesn't matter if he is an official or in business." ”

The first thing that comes to Yang Chong's mind is the action movie "Casting Names" starring Jet Li, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro, the theme comes from the stabbing horse case, one of the four strange cases in the late Qing Dynasty, which tells the story of Pang Qingyun In order to realize the ideal of a peaceful and prosperous world without war in the world, with the help of a group of brothers led by Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang, he attacked the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but after Pang Qingyun was in power, he became more and more ambitious and unscrupulous; It was originally the story of Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan's three alliances, and finally evolved into a brotherly feud, Pang Qingyun died at the hands of the assassin Jiang Wuyang at the inauguration ceremony.

Yang Chongli thought about it, knowing that Tang Bi was talking about Wang Lun's surrender to Lin Chong on Shuibo Liang Mountain, and for his future in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Chong forgave Tang Bi for a while, and regarded himself as a grass coward of Wang Lun and Song Jiang. Yang Chong said noncommittally: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Yang Chong's pause for a moment gave Tang Bi and the others the feeling that Yang Chong did have something secret, Tang Bi was even more confident, and said: "The villain found that there were two guests who came and went to the Western Regions, and they stayed in the villain's store almost twice a month, and the time difference between the two was about half a month. I found out that they were traveling back and forth from Gaochang and Shanshan to Chang'an, and the two said that they were merchants in Chang'an, and the road guide was also good, but they only stayed in Chang'an for one or two days each time, and they rode fast horses, and there were no large quantities of goods. ”

This is not normal, such a long distance back and forth, the lack of cargo is definitely a loss-making practice, this situation is more like a messenger. Yang Chong bowed his head and motioned for Tang Bi to continue, Tang Bi said proudly: "Once I got drunk with a man named Cha Lao Liu, checked his salute, and found a letter written by Chen Kui of Gaochang County to Zhou Qian, which contained an investigation of Gaochang County's war horses and weapons. Mrs. Mao was alert, and I didn't dare to repeat the old tricks, but he had seen a person named He Panren in the store, who was the one posted by the government. ”

Ling Jing asked, "Brother Tang, the Hu people all look similar, are you so sure?" ”

Tang Bi said with a smile: "You don't know, He Panren is very famous in the Fufeng and Yicheng generations, and he is a rare hero among the Hu people, I have seen him a few times, and I will not admit my mistake." When he came to my store that day, He Panren did not have a registration number, so he quietly went to see Mao Laosan. ”

Yang Chong thanked him: "There is Mr. Lao." Don't bother the two masters, Chen Kui is an official of Gaochang, and I hope that Mr. will help me catch one of Cha Lao Liu and Mao Lao San, Ling Jing, you take Mr. Tang to see Meng Tuo. ”

Tang Bi and Ling Jing retired with a smile, Yang Chong's attitude was obvious, just waiting to prove that this nomination was true, Tang Bibian passed the assessment. Ling Jing is a petty official, he went to Gaochang City to find Meng Tuo did not attract the attention of others, Meng Tuo immediately arranged for manpower to cooperate with Tang Bi when he heard it, and a group of people stared at Chen Kui for eleven days, and finally saw Zha Lao Liu, and after Zha Lao Liu except Gaochang City, he secretly arrested Zha Lao Liu.

When Zha Lao Liu saw Meng Flip and Tang Bi in the interrogation room, he immediately said everything, the letter was in Meng Flip's hand, and Zha Lao Liu knew that he couldn't say it. Zha Lao Liu said that he was originally Zhou Qian's subordinate, and specially arranged for Chen Kui to be the contact, Zhou Qian had no other intentions, but just wanted to find out the exact situation of Gao Chang. Meng shook his head with a smile and asked, "What's the matter with He Panren?" ”

Zha Lao Liu did not admit it, this is a crime of colluding with Turks and robbers, and admitting it is death; However, under severe torture, Cha Lao Liu said that he lived in the inn in Tianshan County, where Meng Tuo's people caught Mao Laosan. Mao Laosan is a tough guy, he didn't say anything under torture, but the letter on his body leaked the secret of Chang'an, on the surface, he just wanted Chen Kui and others to pay attention to the movements of Yang Hao, Yang Chong and others, but Yang Chong and Meng turned over the matter of Yang Xuangan, and understood that Yang Xuangan kept negotiating with the major scholars in Guanzhong and inviting people to join, which must have leaked the news.

Yang Chong immediately wrote a secret letter, asking Jiang Duo and others in Chang'an to investigate the whereabouts of Li Zixiong's father and son, the general of the Right Marquis, if Li Zixiong was transferred to the water division, it would mean that Yang Xuan felt that something was wrong, except for waiting for death or taking risks. In the name of colluding with He Panren, Yang Chong arrested Liu Weiming, the ordnance supervisor, and Chen Kui, the salt supervisor, and by the way, arrested some objects that had already been identified by Meng Fu; Liu Weiming and Chen Kui did not resist, and confided in the list of a group of Gaochang locals, and Gaochang County suddenly fell into panic.
