When night fell, Zhao Ziliang was sitting in the study reading a book just after dinner.

Yin Shanbing, the man in black, walked in and arched his hand: "General, what do you have to tell your subordinates?" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "During the day today, Xiao Jiong, the envoy of soldiers and horses in Hedong and the envoy of the soldiers and horses in the right wing, actually appeared in Yunzhong City. ”

Yin Shan Bing arched his hand and said: "My subordinates understand! ”

Shortly after Yin Shan Bing left, Brehan's voice appeared outside the study.

"General, it's not good!" Brehan shouted outside the door, walked into the study and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Just now the prison sent someone to report that the people in prison were all poisoned and died after dinner!" ”

Zhao Ziliang Huo Ran got up, and his expression changed greatly: "What? All dead? Ben thought they would rob the prison, but he didn't expect them to use medicine! ”

Brehan nodded: "Yes, they are all dead, and their mouths and noses are purple and their faces are blue. However, there is good news, Zhang Yulin, Gao Yaohui, Chen Hekun and Lu Changge were brought out of prison for interrogation by Gao Daren in advance, and they were not locked up in prison, but in the barracks, so they were spared! ”

Zhao Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the remaining four people are all high-level leaders of this gang, as long as the four of them don't die, you will definitely know who the mastermind behind the scenes is from their mouths!" You send someone to ask about the situation, how is the interrogation on the noble side! ”

Brehan promised: "No, my subordinates will send someone!" ”

"Wait!" Brehan was stopped.

"What else does the general command?"

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "In addition, send someone to the prison to strictly investigate, who drugged their food, and we must find out this person!" ”

"No!"

At this time, in the courtyard of the house near the West Gate, Xiao Jiong and Hou Ye had already received the news that all the gang members who were locked up in the prison had been drugged and killed.

After Xiao Jiong took a sip of wine, he picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth to chew it slowly, and said while eating: "Master Hou, after the death of these people, no one will know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, and Master Hou and the lower officials can rest assured!" It's just that our business has to stop! ”

Hou Ye's eyes flashed with cold light, and he took a sip of stuffy wine, "This surnamed Zhao really deserves his reputation, I didn't expect that he is not only powerful in war, but also quick to deal with this kind of thing, and his ruthlessness is no less than that of you and me!" Now that the Yunzhong Army and the Yunzhong Guard have been fully controlled by him, it is only impossible for our goods to pass through easily! Business can only be temporarily suspended, let's find another way! ”

Xiao Jiong nodded and said: "Hou Ye is right, I can only think of another way・・・・・・ how about our goods go to Fanyang (now Beijing)?" Although it has come full circle, it is better to be safe! ”

Hou Ye frowned and said, "Go Fan Yang?"

Xiao Jiong said: "In the final analysis, the current Fan Yang Festival makes Pei Kuan also Li Xiang's person, so he is easy to talk to, if he can share some benefits with him, he must not refuse!" ”

Hou Ye thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, although Pei Kuan is Li Linfu's person, but let him do this kind of thing, I am afraid that you and I have just begged to go to his door, and he will immediately report this matter to the emperor and the imperial court to know, and then the fate I am waiting for is not just as simple as killing the head, it is possible to destroy the nine clans!" ”

Xiao Jiong was a little surprised: "No, he doesn't want any money?" Is there such a stupid person in the world? ”

Hou Ye sneered in his heart: "Do you think everyone is as greedy for money as you are?" ”

Letting go of what he was thinking, Hou Ye said: "Who doesn't love money?" It's just that people like Pei Kuan don't want ill-gotten gains, if it's the emperor's reward, do you think he wants it? ”

That's right, although Pei Kuan is also a member of Li Linfu's family, this person is also a member of the Pei family, and he still has a backbone, and it is simply wishful thinking to let this person cooperate with them to sell goods to Mobei.

Xiao Jiong shook his head and said: "Pei Kuan in the east will not work, and Wang Zhongsi in the west will not work even more, hey, this business matter can only be put on hold for the time being, and it will be discussed in the long run!" Let's make a lot of money in a muffled voice, and make money every day, but as soon as this Zhao Ziliang comes, we will cut off our financial route, and this ・・・・・・ who has been killed with a thousand knives."

While talking, the two drank and ate, and they were both drunk while eating and drinking, and neither of them woke up until dawn.

The door was pushed open, and a small guy walked in and shouted eagerly: "Master Hou, Master Hou ・・・・・・."

Hou Ye agreed in a daze: "What's the matter?" ”

"Liao San asked to see him, saying that there was a major matter related to Hou Ye's net worth and life to report to Hou Ye!"

"What?" Hearing this name, not only Hou Ye, but even Xiao Jiong, who was still asleep just now, woke up, because he was the one who went to contact this person named Liao San yesterday afternoon to drug the gang of people who were locked up in prison.

The two got up from the table they were lying on and looked at each other, Hou Ye felt that Liao San must have something big to do when he came to see him in person at this time, otherwise at this critical moment, Liao San would not have come here.

"Go and take him to the living room to meet us!" Hou Ye commanded.

"No!" The little guy turned around and left after agreeing, and Hou Ye and Xiao Jiong also hurriedly washed up and went to the living room to see Liao San.

When the two came to the living room, Liao San immediately saluted and said, "See Lord Hou and my lord!" ”

The two sat down separately, and Hou Ye asked, "Liao San, what is the matter with you coming to see Ben Hou in such a hurry?" ”

Liao San arched his hands: "Master Hou, we were only half of the success last night, and there are still half of the hidden dangers, and the villain does not dare to guarantee whether this half of the hidden dangers have been fully attacked!" ”

Hou Ye and Xiao Jiong were confused when they heard it, and Hou Ye frowned and said, "Liao San, you make it clear, why can't Ben Hou understand?" ”

"That's right, Master Hou! A total of seventy-two people were arrested and imprisoned in prison, but only sixty-eight people were poisoned after dinner yesterday, that is to say, four people were not poisoned, this is the villain's hindsight, according to the villain's observation and inquiry, yesterday afternoon, four people were taken away for interrogation by the new General Zhao's Changshi Gaoshang, they are Zhang Yulin, Gao Yaohui, Chen Hekun and Lu Changge, it is not clear where they are being held, and I don't know if they have confessed, last night the villain got the news and wanted to report to Hou Ye, But the new General Zhao immediately sent someone to investigate the poisoning of sixty-eight prisoners, and the villain was also suspected, and he was also the object of key suspicion, until the end of the interrogation just now, the villain immediately rushed to report to Hou Ye, Hou Ye should have made plans early! ”

Hou Ye and Xiao Jiong's faces changed greatly after listening to Wang Liaosan's report, but they didn't expect that the matter was not over yet, Zhang Yulin, Gao Yaohui, Chen Hekun and Lu Changge These four people are not dead, it doesn't matter if the other sixty-eight people die or not, they don't know much, but these four people all know that their upline is Xiao Jiong, once any of them confess, Xiao Jiong will be exposed, so Xiao Jiong is extremely dangerous now!

Hou Ye looked at Liao San and asked, "You mean that you have been subjected to key suspicions?" ”

Liao San nodded and said, "Yes, Master Hou!" The villain came here only for fear of being followed, but Hou Ye rest assured, Hou Ye saved the lives of the villain's whole family, if there was no Hou Ye to help him that year, the villain's whole family starved to death, Hou Ye is the life-saving benefactor of the villain's whole family, the villain's life is reserved and ready to die for Hou Ye at any time, as long as the villain dies, their clues will be interrupted, and Hou Ye will be safe! ”

After speaking, Liao San took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, uncorked it and poured it down, this is obviously a bottle of medicine that can be named!

In the stunned expressions of Hou Ye and Xiao Jiong, Liao San took the medicine and said to Hou Ye: "Hou Ye, after the villain dies, the family also asks Hou Ye to take care of one or two on his behalf, even if he goes to the underworld, the villain will pray for Hou Ye!" ”

Hou Ye reacted and hurriedly said: "You let go, from now on your family will be Ben Hou's family!" ”

"Thank you, Master Hou! The villain can't die here, otherwise it will bring trouble to Hou Ye, the villain says goodbye, Hou Ye take care! After Liao San finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Xiao Jiong looked at Liao San's distant back, and couldn't help but sigh: "Loyal man, Master Hou is so blessed!" ”

Hou Ye's face became extremely cold at this time, and he said to Xiao Jiong: "Now is not the time to sigh, Lord Xiao, your situation is extremely dangerous, for the sake of insurance, you leave the clouds immediately!" ”

Xiao Jiong nodded and said, "Yes, the lower officials should return to Taiyuan immediately!" ”

Hou Ye shook his head and said, "No, do you think that once Zhang Yulin and the others confess to you, you will be safe when you return to Taiyuan?" ”

Xiao Jiong trembled, looked at Hou Ye and said, "What does Hou Ye mean?" ”

"Go to the Hengye Army, there is your territory, as long as you control the Hengye Army, Zhao Ziliang will not dare to attack you easily, if he only gets a confession from Zhang Yulin and others without evidence, Ben Hou will walk around the court for you again, he will not be able to do anything to you, but if you return to Taiyuan, he can immediately report to Tian Renwan to put you under house arrest first, and then go all out to find evidence, if you let him find the evidence, you will be finished, if you have mastered the Hengye Army, he will not dare to move you easily, do you understand?"

Xiao Jiong was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, nodded and said, "Understood, Xiaguan understands!" ”

"Also, Zhao Ziliang can't stay in the clouds all the time and not leave, he will have to return to Yunzhou sooner or later, after you go to the Hengye Army, immediately pick up a group of men and horses to ambush Zhao Ziliang on the way back to Yunzhou, ambush him when he passes, we must kill him, we can't let him investigate anymore, kill him before he finds the two of us!"

Xiao Jiong's face changed, and he asked, "Didn't Master Hou say that he couldn't let the surnamed Zhao die here?" If he is ambushed to death, the matter will be big, the court will intervene, and then we will have to spend more time to settle this matter! ”

Hou Ye shook his head and said: "Now the situation is different, now he is going to find out about you and me, once he finds out, you and I will both have to worry about our lives, life and death are at a critical juncture, I can't care so much, let's solve him first!" ”

Xiao Jiong nodded fiercely and said, "Yes, things have come to this point, either he dies or I die!" The next official will set off for the Hengye Army garrison! (To be continued.) )
