Chapter 592: I almost slipped my mouth
Seeing off Yang Su and Zhang Zhongjian's master and servant, Yang Guang turned around and returned to the main hall with a lot of worry, but saw Zhang Heng holding an object in the shape of a bookbook in his hand, standing outside the door of the main hall waiting for him.
"Jianping, you came just in time. I've got something to discuss with you. Yang Guang was worried that he was so eager to insert Xiao Xiao into Yang Su's mansion, which would easily arouse Zhang Zhongjian's suspicion, which would bring danger to Xiao Xiao, and he was looking for Zhang Heng to seek a way to make up for it, so he didn't wait for Zhang Heng to explain his intentions, that is, he beckoned him to lead him into the main hall and sit down and speak.
After Yang Guang briefly explained his plans and worries to Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng asked in a deep voice: "Can the prince recognize that this bearded guest is Zhang Zhongjian, the killer of the 'Wild Goose's Nest?" ”
"The bearded guest is Zhang Zhongjian, and Zhang Zhongjian's nickname is called the bearded guest, there is no doubt about it." Yang Guang said firmly.
Zhang Heng didn't know what he meant, raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Guang, and then asked: "I remember that when I was in Bingzhou, Xia Guan heard the prince say that Xie Wei, who was also in the Qinghe Mansion, was quite familiar with Zhang Zhongjian, and was also forced by Zhang Zhongjian to try to steal Princess Leping's handwriting to cause chaos. ”
"I vaguely remember that six years ago, Zhang Zhongjian was originally red-haired and white-faced, but when I see him today, he is bearded and black-faced, and his appearance is very different, so I think even Xie Yan can't recognize him." Yang Guang replied in a loud voice.
Zhang Heng felt that something was wrong, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask Yang Guang how he decided that the bearded guest was Zhang Zhongjian back then, but when the words came to his lips, after thinking about it, it seemed inconvenient to ask too directly, so he asked Yang Guang euphemistically: "I see, since Zhang Zhongjian is not afraid of being recognized by Xie Wei, he is naturally not worried that the prince will see through his true face, but the lower officials still can't guess that he sneaked into the Qinghe Mansion, what is the purpose, please ask the prince to make it clear." ”
Yang Guang suddenly realized from Zhang Heng's words that he had almost slipped out of his mouth just now, and it was extremely unreasonable to assume that the bearded guest was Zhang Zhongjian, and his face turned red. But he immediately thought that he must not truthfully explain the reason to Zhang Heng, so he made up his mind and replied with a red face: "I think that Qinghe Gong has obtained the permission of his father's emperor, and is about to build a warship in Xinzhou to prepare for a large-scale army attack on Chen. ”
Zhang Heng nodded and echoed: "What the prince expected, it is indeed common sense. However, Xia Guan was thinking that if Guan Zizi was just to listen to the news, there was no need to send a killer like Zhang Zhongjian to lurk beside Qinghe Gong. Could it be that he wanted to be unfavorable to Qinghe Gong to act like this? ”
"Jianping, in your opinion, Guan Zizai sent Zhang Zhongjian to lurk beside Yang Su, to find an opportunity to attack him?" Yang Guang was reminded by Zhang Heng, and suddenly recalled that Xiao Wujian, an important member of the "Wild Goose's Nest", known as the "Bodhisattva", was folded under Yang Su back then, and couldn't help but believe Zhang Heng's words a little, "If this is the case, it would be extremely inappropriate to send Xiao Xiao to monitor Zhang Zhongjian." ”
"Since the prince has mentioned the marriage between Xiao Xiao and Xie Wei to Qinghe Gong, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to regret it now, right? Moreover, I don't expect that Zhang Zhongjian may be suspicious of Xiao Xiao's marriage into the Qinghe Mansion, which will be detrimental to her desires. Zhang Heng saw Yang Guang's uneasy look on his face, and deliberately comforted him.
"Not only that, I also told Yang Su that I plan to send Xiao Xiao through the door tomorrow. I regret that I shouldn't have acted so earnestly and sent Xiao Xiao to a dangerous place. The more Yang Guang thought about it, the more he felt that it was a great mistake to send Xiao Xiao to spy on Zhang Zhongjian, and he couldn't help but regret it.
Zhang Heng was quite unimpressed by this, thought for a while, and said: "If Guan Zizai sent Zhang Zhongjian to ambush Qinghe Gong's side, and really wanted to assassinate Qinghe Gong, then even if Zhang Zhongjian was suspicious of Xiao Xiao, he would probably not attack her in Qinghe Gong's mansion. Because that would only arouse the vigilance of Qinghe Gong, and it would not be conducive to his assassination of Qinghe Gong. On the contrary, it is the prince's proposal to withdraw from the marriage at present, which is more likely to arouse Zhang Zhongjian's suspicions, which is not conducive to Shunteng's touch and traced all the way out of Guan Zizi from his clue. Therefore, the prince does not have to worry too much about the safety of Miss Xiao Xiao. ”
Yang Guang still felt relieved, shook his head, and asked Zhang Heng: "Why don't you explain this matter to Yang Su now, send more people to help him work together to capture Zhang Zhongjian, and directly interrogate him from his mouth about the hiding place of Guan Zizi, and wipe him out, which can also save a lot of trouble in the future, Jianping, do you say it is feasible?" ”
"I beg your pardon. Acting like this will only startle the snake, even if Zhang Zhongjian is really captured, Guan Zizai, who is hiding in the shadows, may get the news immediately and escape from other places. Zhang Heng blinked, and then said, "However, the prince's words reminded the lower officials. Tomorrow, the Duke of Qinghe will leave Beijing and return to Xinzhou, and before leaving, if Zhang Zhongjian is suspicious of the fact that the prince is anxious to marry the maid of the palace and go to the Qinghe Mansion, he will most likely try to contact his comrades to verify the matter, and obtain clear instructions from his superiors against Xiao Xiao, so that the prince will immediately send someone to closely monitor Zhang Zhongjian's every move from now on, and if he can find the comrades who have contacted him in a day or two, wouldn't it be good? ”
Yang Guang heard Zhang Heng's words, and the frowning eyebrows that had been furrowed immediately stretched out, but because he immediately thought of Zhang Zhongjian's ability to save the horse, and the lack of guards in his mansion who were comparable to him, he couldn't help but hesitate for a while, buried his head and pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth to ask Zhang Heng's opinion and said: "I want to assign Liu Fang to monitor Zhang Zhongjian, but I don't know how Pang Xun's case is going, can he go away?" ”
"The lower official is here to report this matter to the prince." Zhang Heng shook the account book he was carrying in his hand and replied, "Right now, Pang Xun is already imprisoned in the palace, and he is a profiteer who has no power to restrain the chicken, so he doesn't have to worry that he will escape from the palace." Liu Fang is delicate and steady, and can be entrusted with important tasks, in the eyes of the lower officials, he is the only one who can be sent to monitor a master like Zhang Zhongjian. ”
"That's good. Xian Yu Luo, immediately go to Liu Fang to reply here. At this time, Yang Guang was bent on opening a breakthrough from Zhang Zhongjian, finding out the pass, and ignoring the results of Zhang Heng's interrogation of Pang Xun, he immediately rushed to the outside of the hall and ordered.
"Lord Wang, this matter still needs to be prepared with two hands: in case Zhongjian did not take the initiative to contact his comrades before leaving Beijing tomorrow, I hope that the prince can send Miss Xiao Xiao to the Qinghe Mansion on time, so that it can be discussed in the long run." Zhang Heng saw that Yang Guang had no intention of asking about the results of his interrogation of Pang Xun, so he kindly reminded him.
Until Liu Fang arrived on order, Yang Guang explained to him in detail in front of Zhang Heng that he had sent the envoy, asking him to sneak into Yang Su's mansion carefully and secretly monitor Zhang Zhongjian's actions tonight. Although Liu Fang had been busy for almost a day and a night, and had not yet had time to sleep peacefully, he did not hesitate to accept the new messenger, immediately changed into civilian clothes, and went straight to Yang Su's mansion to run an errand.
Because he just got Zhang Heng's reminder, he still needs to beware that Zhang Zhongjian did not take the initiative to contact his comrades tonight, and he will send Xiao Xiao to marry Yang Sufu tomorrow, Yang Guang waited for Liu Fang to take the order and left, and then ordered Xian Yuluo to go to the backyard to pass Xiao Xiao. Taking advantage of Xian Yuluo's order to pass on Xiao Xiao, he remembered to ask Zhang Heng: "Did you find any useful evidence from Pang Xun's house?" ”
