Chapter 103: Expressing Opinions and Fighting for Power (5)

The master and apprentice untie the knot in their hearts with candles, and they don't feel the chicken reporting the morning when they talk at night.

Su Sanniang wanted to wait for the disaster in Huaizhou to ease and return to Chang'an, but half a month later, a secret letter from Ruyiju forced her to change her plan.

"An Lushan father and son are really getting more and more presumptuous!" Aunt Gongsun handed the letter to her beloved disciple.

“…… An Qingzong, the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu, lured Mobei Khitan, Xi, Murwei and other departments, and put anesthetic herbs in the wine when holding a banquet to entertain the big and small leaders, and killed them upside down, and then annexed their tribes and selected Jingzhuang as private soldiers. In order to cover up the crime of raising private soldiers, Anqing Zong ordered the soldiers and horses in Hedong to make Gao Xiuyan kill good and brave the merits, so as to avoid the verification of the military department and the Privy Council. On the way to do business, Wen Xitang rescued several people of Yunzhou (now Datong, Shanxi) who escaped death, and the Pei family in Hedong could not bear to see the people of the Tang Dynasty covered in dust, and was willing to send the people of Yunzhou to Beijing to expose the crimes of the father and son of the An family. However, he was afraid of retaliation halfway through the river, and begged Ruyiju to help......"

"Hmph, when will Wenxitang become the bitter sea of mercy for all sentient beings?" Su Sanniang sneered at the hypocritical Pei family in Hedong.

"Lu Langjun has served as the prince's secretary for many years, and the Pei family in Hedong has long bet the rise and fall of the clan on the East Palace, so he naturally tries his best to win fame for the prince at this moment." Aunt Gongsun pondered: "The teacher knows that you have a holiday with Wen Xitang, and I don't want to bother you, but the aftermath of the assassination of King Sheng is not over......"

"Master, why do you need to be like this, although Wen Xitang is unbearable, but the father and son of the An family are even more guilty of killing good and risking their merits. In the face of major rights and wrongs, the disciples know which is more important. ”

After entrusting the disaster relief to Fan Qiuniang, Su Shisanniang bid farewell to her parents and master, and led dozens of warriors recruited by Ruyiju to go north to Hedong. After confirming the identities and experiences of the people of Yunzhou, she secretly escorted Wenxitang's caravan and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

An Lushan and his son have been in charge of Hedong for more than three years, and all states and counties have placed henchmen. But the ancestor of the Pei family was a nobleman of the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was divided into Wenxi, and has been rooted in Hedong for more than 1,000 years.

In order to help the prince consolidate the position of the East Palace, the Pei family also invested a lot of money, mobilized the strength of the whole clan, and ensured the safety of the caravan at all costs. Su Sanniang was vigilant all the way, and did not allow any suspicious people to approach the caravan. The Suye dart master who has accompanied him from Chang'an to the present day has been following closely.

In late July, the caravan crossed the Yellow River from the Fengling Ferry and entered Gyeonggi. Wen Xitang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Su Sanniang became more and more cautious, and asked Su Ye Dart Master to notify Ashina Wenxia to come to help. What moved her was that Wang Fei, who got the news, asked Ashina Wenxia and Liu Xiaofei to bring nearly 100 Su Ye dart masters to help. And Su Sanniang was also keenly aware that her husband Wang Yong brought more people and hid in the shadows in case of emergency.

Sure enough, the caravan was attacked when it stayed overnight in Huayin County. Su Sanniang and Ashina Wenxia, who had been on guard for a long time, led the Ruyiju warriors and Su Ye Dart Master to lay a net of heaven and earth, not only repelling the enemy's attack, but also capturing several people alive. After interrogation, the captured Luoluohe scouts were all from various parts of Mobei, and they all had done the deeds of killing good people and taking risks.

Ashina Wenxia, who was furious, swung her sword and wanted to kill Luoluohe, but was stopped by the master: "I was worried that relying only on the testimony of the people of Yunzhou would not be enough to shake An Lushan's father and son. Now that there is more confession from Luluohe, An Lushan will shed his skin if he does not die. ”

"Brother Fei has been working hard for three years, just to bring it down

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) An Lushan, but he has repeatedly failed and failed, and now there is finally ironclad evidence. Ashina Wenxia smiled.

After arriving in Chang'an, the children of the Pei family, who served in the court, immediately played and exposed An Qingzong's crimes. Ji Wen, who led the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, tried to get the Yushitai to cover up the scandal, but was angrily reprimanded by Yang Guozhong, who learned the news.

Yang Guozhong and An Lushan have been on discord for a long time, and now that he has a ready-made handle to send to the door, he will naturally not give up; Wang Fei and Gao Xianzhi also advised the sage to thoroughly investigate the matter of killing good people in Hedong...... The Chang'an court is surging again.

Although Su Sanniang pays attention to the central situation, she is more concerned about how to skillfully end the anger with Wang Yong.

Su Sanniang considered reconciling with her husband when she picked up her daughter, but people came and went in Jinchengfang's house, and she didn't find the right time for a while. Yang Guozhong pursued and completely defeated An Lushan, not only instructed the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to break into the Hedong Jinjuan Academy in the name of searching for evidence, but also ordered Xian Yu to lead troops to search An Lushan's residence in Qinrenfang, Chang'an, trying to find out the evidence of An Lushan's father and son's rebellion.

Yan Zhuang, who stayed in Chang'an to take charge of Fanyang and Hedong Jinjuan, was extremely cautious and would not leave a flaw in Jingzhao Mansion. Yang Guozhong, who found nothing, vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal, arrested several disciples who had taken refuge in An Lushan, tortured them, and threatened them to testify that the An family's father and son had bad intentions.

But the doorman is only used by An Lushan's vassals, and he is not allowed to participate in secrecy at all, and the fabricated testimony is naturally full of loopholes and contradictions. Yang Guozhong rushed to take the confession to the sage to ask for merit, but was resolved by Ji Wen one by one. Annoyed and angry, Yang Guozhong asked Xian Yu to kill all the disciples with a cane, and reprimanded Ji Wen for negligence.

The sage didn't like Jiwen, but taking into account An Lushan's face, he held it high and took it lightly, relieved him of the post of envoy of the east section of the Jiwen River, and only retained his position as the middle of the imperial history. But for Giwen, the phase that was within reach had become out of reach.

The dispute between the two sides intensified, Wang Yong stayed in Jinchengfang all day to help Wang Fei analyze the situation and make suggestions, but he didn't come to visit his daughter and Su Sanniang for a long time.

"Hateful Wang Yong, does he still have a daughter in his heart!" Su Sanniang's tenderness turned into hatred again, and naturally she would not put down her body and take the initiative to find Wang Yong.

In early August, it was suddenly rumored in the city of Chang'an that the Jiannan army was defeated by the Nanzhao, and the soldiers and horses made Li Mi die in battle, and all the 100,000 troops were buried in the Xi'er River. Who knew that a few days later, there were Jiannanya soldiers who reported the victory with Lubu, saying that the Jiannan army had won a great victory over Nanzhao after several hard battles, occupied dozens of states and counties in the north of Nanzhao, and expanded the land for more than 100 miles. The fly in the ointment is that during the fierce battle, Li Mi, who led the charge of the Jiannan soldiers and horses, died on the battlefield due to the stumble of his mount, and his body was also taken away by the Nanzhao army.

When Jiannan reported the victory, An Lushan's twists and turns also arrived in Chang'an. According to Ashina Wenxia, An Lushan was vague about killing good and risking merit in the recital, saying that the private soldiers he raised were vassal tribes with a heart to the Tang Dynasty, but he was honest and had no way to teach his son, and begged the sage to dismiss his Fan Yang Jie envoy.

What puzzled Su Sanniang was that the evidence of Anqingzong's crime of killing good and risking merit was conclusive, but in the end, the thunderous anger of the saint fell on Gao Xiuyan's head, and he was removed from all official positions and imprisoned in the northern capital. And the punishment of An Qingzong

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is just a fluttering fine for one year.

"Faint!" Su Sanniang was extremely dissatisfied with Li Longji's verdict, she interrogated the Luoluohe scouts, and knew that the father and son of the An family were the culprits who killed the good and the meritorious, and Gao Xiuyan was just acting for the tiger.

The angry Su Sanniang was in a bad mood, and in addition to practicing swords, she took care of her daughter every day, and she didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Yong for a while. After Wang Yong came to visit his daughter several times, Su Sanniang's face was like frost, and the cold war between the two continued without embarrassment.

During this period, Gongsun Auntie and her disciples returned to Chang'an in twos and threes, but they did not return to Anyifang, but found a house near the Daci'en Temple in Jinchangfang, Nancheng. The owner of the house is naturally still the owner of Ruyi Ju, Wang Yuanbao.

After escorting the Wenxitang caravan to Chang'an, Su Sanniang went to Anyifang to check several times, and found that tooth soldiers from Pinglu and Anxi could be seen everywhere, and the most conspicuous was Wei Boyu, the general of Anxi.

The autumn wind blows Weishui, and the fallen leaves are full of Chang'an.

At the beginning of September, Su Shisanniang learned from Shimen and Su Yeju that someone who looked like Duan Dala appeared in the Qinling Mountains in the southern suburbs of Chang'an. But when she asked Aunt Gongsun, she found that the master didn't know anything about why Duan Dala appeared in Gyeonggi.

"Gotta catch you!" Su Sanniang was worried that Duan Daluo's poisonous needle would hurt others, so she came to Qinling alone, where there were many outposts.

"With such a big battle, what kind of madness is Jingzhao Mansion going on? Could it be to capture a captain of the Jiannanya Army? Su Sanniang heard Ashina Wenxia mention it, saying that Yang Guozhong was even more cold than An Lushan, and he actually fabricated the fiasco of losing troops and generals into a big victory and deceived the Son of Heaven. An angry Tooth Captain decided to come to Chang'an to expose his ugly face.

"The emperor is faint, so the temple is full of beasts and cannibals. What can the lieutenant of the Ya Soldier do even if he enters Beijing? As soon as the wind blew on the pillows of the Yang sisters, Yang Guozhong was safe and sound. Su Sanniang was quite disappointed in Li Longji after the case of killing Liang and risking merit in Hedong: "I hope Fei Langjun can come up with a ghost idea to save the Chang'an court like turning the tide of the Talas battle." ”

"Captain Jiannan......" Su Sanniang, who was thinking for thousands of miles, stared at the checkpoint on the mountain road as if facing a great enemy, and suddenly realized: "Why did Duan Dala come to Qinling, could it be that her target is Captain Jiannan?" Duan Dala is a member of the Nanzhao Wuyi tribe, in recent years, the southern Xinjiang has not stopped, she hates the Jiannan Army deeply, and kills the Jiannan soldiers in Guiyifang. No, I have to find Duan Dala as soon as possible, otherwise Captain Jiannan may die under the poison needle. ”

Teachers come out of the same school, and there are naturally similarities in their actions. Su Sanniang thought about it for a while, and followed the clues in the mountains and forests to find several corpses that had been killed by poisonous needles. After careful identification, Su Sanniang recognized that most of the deceased were Su Ye Dart masters, and one of them vaguely looked like a guy from Ruoxi Inn.

"Hateful!" Su Sanniang, who was full of smoke, followed the sound of the fight to find Duan Daluo who was pretending to be herself, and forced him back with a flying knife.

Su Sanniang wanted to chase after her, but remembering that it was more important to protect Captain Jiannan, she temporarily let Duan Dala go, but Wang Yong also came to answer Li Sheng, and the husband and wife, who had been angry for a long time, met by chance in the wilderness.

Su Sanniang didn't expect her husband to admit that she was Wang Siyi in front of everyone, and when Captain Jiannan's excitement brought tears to her eyes, she suddenly felt that the resentment that had been accumulated for a long time was suddenly released......
