In the Heavenly Master Palace, after many days of suffering, Zhou Guangji was finally pulled back from the ghost gate. Duan Lang and the others were in a good mood, and Han Feng was even more excited. Among the old ghost guards, I am afraid that only the two brothers are currently alive, and Han Feng does not want to lose Zhou Guangji again. However, in order not to irritate Zhou Guangji, who had just woken up, Duan Lang and Han Feng decided not to tell him about Qi Zhongshan for the time being.

In the backyard and inner hall, Zhang Ruming ordered someone to make a few delicious dishes and have a drink with Duan Lang.

"Duan Lang, is there any news from Mingyue?" Zhang Ruming asked while eating.

Da Fei brought back the news that the old ghost of Huai should not be killed, and he actually let him escape again. If you want to find him again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Duan Lang said depressedly.

"Cowardice, what's so hard about this. With that guy's heart, he will never die in obscurity. He didn't even let go of the bright moon, which is enough to show how deep the hatred is in his heart. If you want me to say, let's wait in Lidu City, I bet this guy will appear in Lidu City sooner or later. ”

Duan Lang nodded, "Go back and tell Ah Zhu to let her sort out the inside of the capital city." The old ghost Huai has taken away a lot of elites, which is a large force. What's more, the secret offices of the Investigation Department are all in his hands, and the Investigation Department is withdrawn, and these secret offices must be controlled by the old ghost himself. If you can trace it from the secret office of the capital city, you may be able to find a lot of clues. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back. After all, Lao Tzu is now your intelligence staff, and he has to do something to achieve. ”

Duan Lang said with a smile, "You guy is not only eating but sleeping, and not all of them are busy with Azhu." ”

"Don't look down on people, you kid, there's a news that Ah Zhu Tan didn't hear." Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang proudly.

Duan Lang looked at Zhang Ruming with disdain, "What you can find is probably the news of the bad street." ”

"Fart, do you know Feng Zhun?"

Duan Lang was stunned, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Zhang Ruming looked at the door and said in a low voice, "Delong, this guy, he has been reactivated." ”

"What, wouldn't it?"

"It's true, don't forget that Fan Cheng is now a servant of the ministry, and this guy and I are iron buddies. Fan Cheng said that the Ministry of Officials had been registered, and Delong appointed Feng Zhun as the secretary of Honglu Temple, although this position was only to accept the envoys of other countries and the arrangements for local capitals to enter Beijing, but he was also a member of the three ranks. ”

Duan Lang was really a little surprised, "This Feng Zhun is Yu Ban's hardcore accomplice, and Delong actually reactivated him?" What does that mean. ”

Zhang Ruming pouted proudly, "I don't understand, Delong, this kid is very shrewd, he is wooing." Yu Ban's disciples and grandchildren are all over the world, and there are currently as many as 32 people serving as government governors, and there are countless county guards. In the past few decades, Yu Ban has not been supported by anything, and it is not all supported by these disciples and grandchildren. When the new monarch of Delong ascended the throne, he could not clean it all up. Once it causes public anger, not to mention rebellion, just because these disciples control the land and do not pay taxes, the Great Xia court will not be able to bear it. ”

Duan Lang's heart moved, no wonder he was entrusted with protecting his family. It seems that his disciples are really not a weak force.

"Lao Zhang, you can talk to Fan Cheng better. Help me inquire and ask Yu Ban who among the disciples has the most core ability. ”

"What, you're going to kill them secretly?" Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang suspiciously.

Duan Lang smiled slightly, "Ben Shuai wants to personally kill Yu Ban, you have to be careful against these disciples, and it is not impossible to make an example of them." However, Ben Shuai has another useful use. ”

"Cowardly, look at your sassy look, don't talk about pulling down. By the way, when are we leaving? In Kyoto now, we seem to be treated as outsiders. Delon's kid, after ascending the throne, is indeed different from before. ”

Duan Lang nodded, "Jianshan is now named the governor of the capital city, and he will also come to Beijing this time." After the ban is disposed of, let's leave together. ”

"Paralyzed, as soon as I talk about this, I get angry. You are both generalissimos and governors, and you all have real power in your hands. Just Lao Tzu, what kind of Heavenly Master who protects the country, and the first-class Heavenly Patrol Prison, they are all imaginary, and they have no actual rights at all. ”

Duan Lang said with a smile, "You kid be content, in the entire Great Xia, including the royal family, only you kid can face the saint and not kneel, what else do you want." ”

"Let me kneel him? When he was in Lidu City, Lao Tzu didn't even dare to fart when he spoke. ”

"People are emperors now, no matter how rebellious they are, sooner or later they will be connected to the nine clans if they are friends with you." Duan Lang said with a smile.

Zhang Ruming leaned forward, "I said Duan Lang, let's really be on guard." Don't look at Lao Tzu as scheming, but I always feel that this Delong, now looking at us is a little sinister. And those civil and military officials, although they are very flattering to us, but I feel that they deliberately keep their distance. ”

Duan Lang smiled faintly, "It's normal, which of the court members is not a human spirit, we have a high merit, of course they will think badly." When they leave Kyoto, they will slowly calm down. The next thing we have to do is to track down the old ghost Huai, and then cultivate the one-third of an acre of land in Lidu City. As for these bad things in the court, let them make trouble. ”

Zhang Ruming picked up the wine glass, he didn't know what to say, but Zhang Ruming, who was cheerful by nature, always felt a little uneasy in his heart. This kind of uneasiness actually came from Delong, who had just ascended the throne.

The two brothers were drinking in the inner hall, and Ah Zhu and Han Feng and the others were not idle. The initial training of the shadow artist has basically been completed, and these backbones have also set up secret stations in various places. However, the operation of these secret stations also requires huge funds and various channel management. In this regard, Han Feng is better at this than Zhou Guangji. Taking advantage of his free time in Kyoto, Han Feng began to teach Azhu how to control the secret stations and his own operations.

Ten days later, the local prefectural officials quickly stepped up and came to Kyoto one after another. The new emperor ascended the throne to convene the meeting, to put it bluntly, to show everyone a face, and announce the great policy of the government. What's more, there will definitely be some personnel changes. Therefore, they all want to pave the way in advance.

In Kyoto, the mansion of Fan Cheng, the new servant of the ministry, was almost flattened by the gift-giver. Compared with new monarchs and important ministers like Wu Guangguang Fan Cheng, the Heavenly Master Hall is deserted. However, there is one mansion that is particularly eye-catching. This mansion is the mansion of Feng Zhun of Honglu Temple, which has been reactivated.

These local officials and county guards who entered Beijing were the most uneasy in their hearts were those Yu disciples. In the past, the teacher was high, but now the teacher has become a prisoner of the ranks. The disciples were terrified, not knowing what DeLong would do with them. However, these people have been operating in the local capital for so many years, and if they form a group, it will be really difficult for the court to start. After all, Great Xia was experiencing war, the treasury was empty, and without the support of local government taxes, grain and grass, it could not function at all.

In Feng Zhun's mansion, looking at Yu Ban's disciples, Feng Zhun couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart. One wrong step and one wrong step, if it is now Dezhang ascending the throne, a few of them will enter the court and enter the ranks of the first and second ranks. In a few years, the court will be their world. It's good now, Dezhang's defeat is all lost. Even Yu Ban, who has been in charge of the phase for decades, will become a victim of the heavens.

Feng Zhun was much older than before, and looked at everyone and hugged his fists, "Ladies and gentlemen, although Yu Xiangguo is in prison, you don't need to panic. The battle for succession is a succession and a defeat, and now that His Majesty Delong has ascended the throne, the matter can be ended. Your Majesty can reuse the old ministers, and I believe that you will not be implicated. As long as you do a good job for the court, your position will remain the same. ”

"Lord Feng, at this time and at that time, now the court is the world of Wu Guangguang. Even if His Majesty is gracious, will the old ghost play some small tricks? Six cleaning, I have no backer, what can I do in the future? Yin Zhang Guangzhi of Xiadu Prefecture asked worriedly.

Liang Yi of Chengyang Mansion snorted, "You guys are in the same door, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of. The ones who should come will always come, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, so it's a big deal that we won't do it. Even if they send someone else to take over, they won't be able to control my Chengyang Mansion for a year and a half. ”

Liang Yi said, looking at Yin Jiang Zhuming of the Molan Mansion. Among their peers, the Meran Mansion was the largest capital, with a garrison of 20,000 troops, and it was very rich. The most important thing is that Jiang Zhuming controls the Molan Mansion very strictly. After the rebellion in Kyoto, Emperor Yuning had replaced the Yin of the Molan Mansion, but it didn't take long for Yu Ban to use him again. The reason why Emperor Yuning did not object was also based on the fact that the tax could not be collected, so he had to reuse Jiang Zhuming. From this point, it is enough to see his ability to control the Meran Mansion.

Seeing that Jiang Zhuming didn't speak, Liang Yi couldn't help but say, "Brother Jiang, except for our mentor, our brothers all look to you first. In this case, you have to step up and lead the way. ”

"Yes, Brother Liang is right."

The other fellow disciples also followed, and their eyes looked at Jiang Zhuming. But Jiang Zhuming's gaze was on Feng Zhun.

"Look at what I'm doing, the old man doesn't have much ability now. Honglu Temple is just a small yaya the size of a sesame seed, and it doesn't have much ability. Feng Zhun said.

Jiang Zhuming sighed slightly, "Now that there are many eyes and ears in Kyoto, we can't implicate Lord Feng." Now that you've come to Kyoto, let's take it one step at a time. Just like Brother Liang Yi said just now, it's a big deal to quit. After so many years, I think you have all praised enough pension silver, which is nothing. ”

Jiang Zhuming said, quietly giving Liang Yi a look. Liang Yi's heart moved, and he also said.

"Brother Jiang is right, there's no need to worry, everyone should return to the post house early, someone in the province will see us gathered together and make something else."

As soon as Liang Yi said this, everyone lamented again and again, and they had no choice but to leave one after another.

Feng Zhun sat in the hall, and not long after everyone left, the next person came to report that Jiang Zhuming and Liang Yi had returned. Feng Zhun smiled slightly, and said in his heart that Jiang Zhuming was still smart.

In the hall, Feng Zhun looked at the two of them and deliberately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Zhuming bowed slightly, "Lord Feng, there were many people just now, and it was inconvenient for the lower officials to ask." You and your mentor are like brothers, and Your Majesty's reuse of your lord should be a message to us. But I don't know, what else does Your Majesty command? ”

Liang Yi's heart moved, and he didn't understand why Jiang Zhuming would ask this. But he believes that Jiang Zhuming will not be untargeted, and he must be prepared.

Feng Zhun looked at Jiang Zhuming, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, you are worthy of being a senior disciple of Yu Xiangguo." You two, please sit down and talk. ”

Feng Zhun entered the palace to face the saint, and Delong of course gave him the task. Feng Zhun is also very grateful to be able to be enabled by his relatives. In this matter, he had to complete the explanation of Good Delon. Otherwise, not only will his Honglu Temple not last long, but it will also cause Delong's anger.

Jiang Zhuming and Liang Yi came out of the Feng Mansion and swept away the haze on their faces just now. Although the king's heart is unpredictable, as long as the emperor can still use them, he will not be cruel to these people. What's more, they are also willing to do what Feng Zhun explained. After all, that Duan Lang was the culprit who led to the teacher's imprisonment. Without the support of Lidu City, Dezhang would have already become the king of Great Xia, why bother so much.

At the fork in the road, Liang Yi and Jiang Zhuming broke up and said goodbye, and both of them had their own secret house in Kyoto. It was getting late, and they had to rest early, and they had to report to the ministry early tomorrow morning.

Jiang Zhuming sat in the car, recalling what Feng Zhun said in his mind. Since DeLong wants to use them as pawns, he also has to make good use of this chess piece. But if you lead the public to confront Duan Lang, who is in full swing, you will never recover.

Jiang Zhuming also has his own news channels, and he knows that the current Duan Lang is different from the past, not to mention them, even His Majesty is afraid of three points today. If he really angered Duan Lang in the matter of returning the soldiers and horses, he was also worried that he would be killed if he couldn't return to Molan Mansion.

Jiang Zhuming was thinking about what to do, when suddenly the car stopped. Jiang Zhuming frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to my lord, someone stopped the car?" The coachman whispered.

Jiang Zhuming was shocked, "What person?" ”

"I can't see clearly, but it looks like a civilian."

"Bastard, didn't you see that this is the car of the Sanpin master? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who is so bold. As soon as he heard that it was a civilian, Jiang Zhuming suddenly became confident.

The coachman also said angrily, "Who dares to stop the car, get out of the way." ”

Outside the car, Zhou Long stood in the middle of the road dressed as a civilian. Not far behind him, there was also a car parked.

Zhou Long walked over and took out a waist card, "In the capital of Xiali General Zhou Long, on the order of the marshal of my family, please ask Lord Jiang to get out of the car." Zhou Long said and handed over the waist card.

Jiang Zhuming was shocked when he heard this, and quickly picked up the curtain to take the waist card, and then saw that the lights and candles in the car were indeed the token of the mighty general. Jiang Zhuming's heart trembled a little, and his throat and eyes were a little dry. Looking at Zhou Long, who was not angry and arrogant, he asked carefully.

"I don't know~ what General Duan commanded?"

"Master Jiang, my Duan Shuai is in front, please get out of the car and talk about it." Zhou Long pointed to the car not far away.

Jiang Zhuming looked around, there was no one around in the dead of night, but if he didn't agree, he was really afraid that the general would take him down in anger. After all, Jiang Zhuming is just a civil official, and he has no power to tie the chicken. Besides, he was very low-key when he entered Beijing this time, and he didn't even bring a guard when he went to Fengfu.

"Master Jiang, please!" Zhou Long urged with some impatience.

Jiang Zhuming had no choice but to get out of the car trembling slightly. Following Zhou Long to Duan Lang's car, Jiang Zhuming hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed.

"Xiaguan Jiang Zhuming, meet General Duan."

"Get in the car."

"What?" Jiang Zhuming was stunned.

The car lifted the curtain of the door, "Master Jiang, get in the car." ”

"Ugh!" Without waiting for Jiang Zhuming to react, Zhou Long grabbed Jiang Zhuming's back and lifted him up.

"Zhou Long, you go to his car and follow it." Duan Lang said in a deep voice.

"No!" Zhou Long agreed, turned around and walked towards Jiang Zhuming's car.

Jiang Zhuming's face turned white, "Duan~Duan~ General, I don't know where you are taking your subordinates?" ”

"You'll know when you get there." After Duan Lang finished speaking, he lowered the curtain of the car, gave an order, and the car drove slowly.

Seeing Duan Lang's mighty face and not speaking, Jiang Zhuming was even more flustered in his heart. Facing this murderous iron-blooded general, Jiang Zhuming didn't even dare to come out. Could it be that he was going to take himself to a place where no one was and bury him alive? Or, Duan Lang already knew Delong's intentions and wanted to make an example?

The more Jiang Zhuming thought about it, the more timid he became, he knew that the only one who dared to do anything bold and reckless in Kyoto at present was this generalissimo of the west. Maybe he was trying to deter the newly enthroned Delon, but his own little life~! Thinking of this, Jiang Zhuming quickly got up and knelt in the car.

"General Duan, the little one is also at the mercy of others, and I hope that the general will spare the little one's life. As long as the general lets the little one go, the little one swears in the name of his parents that he will never lead everyone to confront the general. ”
