When eating at the yamen, Zhang Yuan specially asked the little eunuch and the guards to go out to earn a circle, and found that the officials and officers had the same food as the non-commissioned officers, and they all had broth to drink, and the three of them could only shake their heads. The wine and food to entertain them are very simple, four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, but the rice is the Wujiang rice specially entertained by the post house to entertain VIPs, which is crystal clear and fragrant; Zhuge Ying ate with relish, and asked about the business planning of Yuanwei County.

Shi Mo Tian did not conceal it, told the truth, found quartz stone, gypsum, clay and other mineral sources in Yuanwei County, are convenient for mining, the governor's office has decided to open a brick kiln workshop and a porcelain workshop in Yuanwei County, and prepare to build a paper mill in Hongshui River. Zhuge Ying and the three of them met and smiled, this is Yang Chong's style.

As soon as he finished eating, Sima Fan had already come back quickly; After asking the three of them to see Yang Chong, Sima Fan sent a fast horse to report to Wuwei County, and at the same time mobilized five hundred cavalry to escort Zhuge Ying and others to Wuwei with Shi Motian. Wuwei County Shou Liang Shuo led a group of civil and military officials to greet in the Shili Long Pavilion, the dinner was held in the county Shou Mansion, Wuwei officials were accompanied, the wine and food were very rich, but there was no singing and dancing.

Liang Shuo said apologetically: "The governor's office has a rule that does not allow all levels of county to arrange kaki when entertaining people, and only allows it to be held in private residences. ”

Zhuge Ying smiled: "That's good." Can Liang Taishou know where Yang Chong is now? ”

Liang Shuo nodded and said: "Xia Guan knows that General Manager Yang has gone to Lijing County in the past few days, and the Hexi Commercial Bank discovered a copper mine and built a copper smelting workshop in Lijing, and the Hexi Commercial Bank also recruited 2,000 people from Helan Mountain to live here. ”

Zhang Yuan's hand shook, Lijing County is one of the four counties that Yang Chong suggested to rebuild, just as the Holy Son of Heaven and Empress Xiao said when they were chatting, Yang Chong must have a target when he takes ten steps to do things, but others can't see it at first. Zhuge Ying pretended not to see it, and said with a smile: "That's something worth celebrating, Liang Taishou, you are someone Yang Chong values, can you tell me, what is your goal?" ”

Liang Shuo glanced at the people present and replied, "Being an official, I just want the people to live a good life." Manager Yang once said that for ordinary people, what is called a good life is to be able to eat three meals a day, and to be busy for a year to the end of the year to have extra money in hand, to add something to the family, to make a few sets of clothes. ”

Most places in the Central Plains still eat two meals a day, and Yang Chong's goal is a bit ambitious, but this ambition is admirable; Zhuge Ying was silent, picked up his wine glass, and smiled and recalled Liang Shuo's words. Yu Shinan and the eldest grandson Wunai sitting next to him have a few encounters, the two of them just drink, the price of high-quality wine is expensive, it is rare to have a time without spending money to manage enough, why not have fun.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Liang Junshou, have you mobilized the army recently?" ”

Liang Shuo saluted Zhang Yuanjiu and said: "Father-in-law Zhang, this matter is not in my hands, the army of Wuwei Yingyang Mansion must not have moved, as for other places, I don't know." ”

Liang Shuo's words are not leaky, he is a county guard, and he can't manage so many places, Zhang Yuan has no choice but to laugh; Seeing that the three superiors had something on their minds, the officials of Wuwei put all the topics on eating, drinking, and drinking. The banquet quickly dispersed, and as soon as Zhang Yuan lay down in the post house room, he found that there was an extra figure at the head of the bed, and the person who came was dressed in black, with a headscarf wrapped around his head and a black cloth covering his face.

The man in black showed the token to prove his identity, and Zhang Yuan finished the code and said worriedly: "You are so risky, it is easy to have an accident." ”

Today, the envoy of the imperial court came, the post house must be on guard, just now in the courtyard, Zhang Yuan looked up at the sky, the bright moon was in the head, the stars were dotted, the visibility was not bad, even if it was black, it might not be noticed. The man in black said calmly: "My identity has been revealed. When you informed me to assist Chang'an, this moment was doomed, and I came to see you because I was afraid that you would not spend the night in Wuwei when you returned, and it would be inconvenient for me to go to other places. There's something I want you to take back, and it's said to be the powder of the thunderbolt. ”

Tianlei, Zhang Yuan was a little excited, since Xiping County was lost for a day, the center and Chang'an each launched their own intelligence networks, wanting to search for information about Tianlei, and the Son of Heaven even promised the family who could get Tianlei and give a prince the treatment. Batch after batch of people went forward one after another, so their identities were exposed, but no one could get a little bit of Tianlei; Although the demolition battalion opened the gap, it only knew that the thunder was ignited with fire, and nothing else was known.

Zhang Yuan cautiously took the small wooden box handed over by the man in black and asked, "What should you do?" ”

The man in black said firmly, "When I rush out of the house, you call the guards to hack me to death, and then say that I came into the house to steal." ”

Dead man, Zhang Yuan was excited, there are still people who are willing to give up their lives for the Son of Heaven. Zhang Yuan hid the wooden box, and the man in black coldly stabbed Zhang Yuan with a sword, and rushed out of the house amid Zhang Yuan's shouts, but was stopped by the guards who ran when he heard the sound; Zhang Yuan didn't care that his body was still bleeding, and followed him outside the house and shouted, "Kill him." ”

After the man in black resisted a few moves, he was cut to the ground by the guards, and he simply stretched out his head to meet a falling saber, and immediately blood overflowed, and he died. After the soldiers outside arrived, they searched the entire post house again, but found no comrades, and were scolded by Zhang Yuan; When Liang Shuo arrived, Zhang Yuan said mercilessly that Wuwei was too chaotic. Liang Shuo accompanied the smiling face, so that Zhang Yuan was a little angry.

Life is a play, Yang Chong couldn't help but laugh when he got the news of Wuwei Inn, the deceased's eldest grandson Shenli was the chief master around the eldest grandson, and he had long been locked by Kou Jiuheng as a spy; According to the reports of the people who followed them, the eldest grandson's divine power was discovered after entering the house for half an hour. The eldest grandson divine power can cut off Wang Wei's head, and the martial arts are not under Luo Shixin, and he will not be able to kill Zhang Yuan, so what did the eldest grandson divine power and Zhang Yuan talk about during this time.

Yang Chong knew that Kou Jiuhui had baited the eldest grandson's divine power some time ago, deliberately letting a bribed house slave steal some fake gunpowder samples and go out, and killed the house slave on the way to the pursuit. It is estimated that the eldest grandson Shenli saw Zhang Yuan for the gunpowder sample, but with such a dead man, he should still be vigilant.

On the side, Du Yanlang laughed loudly: "I heard that Zhang Yuan insisted on going to the book to participate in Liang Shuo and you, saying that it is not good for you to govern the place." ”

Yang Chong said indifferently: "Prepare a box of agate jade for Zhang Yuan and Uncle Zhuge alone, you send it over first, that thing can be exchanged for money and it is not conspicuous, Zhang Yuan will definitely be able to accept it, after meeting, I will personally apologize." It is estimated that we got a sample of Tianlei, and we can't keep Zhang Yuan, but we have to do a full set of plays, Jiu Heng, notify Shan Xiongxin, when Zhang Yuan goes back, the search in Wuwei must be strict. ”
