Chen Zhishen suddenly said: "This can't be helped, Wang Senjun said that General Zhou let the villain go back for the first time, but did not detain the villain, this is an act of disloyalty, Yang Guang will not let go of your General Zhou, which is also the reason why he instructed the villain to use that reply letter to force your Zhou family to comply." Now that we have promised that we will not take the initiative to expose this matter, why do you take the initiative to confess instead? Isn't that self-defeating?"

Yang Xuangan smiled secretly in his heart, this Chen Zhishen is really a straight intestine, he handed over his old bottom in a few words, it seems that Xiao Maha is not very smart, if it weren't for Wang Zhen's idea, it would be impossible to think of this method of threatening with a reply.

Yang Xuangan couldn't help but smile and replied in a calmest tone as much as possible: "Our Zhou family has already decided on this matter, you just have to cooperate, since my master has chosen to confess to Yang Guang in this way, he hopes to move Yang Guang with loyalty and righteousness." ”

"Chen Yishi, I hope you can understand my family's move, our Zhou family has really risked the lives of the whole clan to save your family this time, and it is best to mention it less in the future if you don't save yourself when you see death, ingratitude and the like."

Chen Zhishen excitedly grabbed Yang Xuangan's hand, Yang Xuangan could feel that he was trembling with excitement, and even his voice began to tremble: "General Zhou's great grace, our Xiao family will never forget." Hey, in fact, my General Xiao has always believed that General Zhou will not betray himself, it's all that Wang Hao, what is said that people's hearts are unpredictable, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, insisting on threatening you with this bad move, Chen is really ashamed! ”

Yang Xuangan finally completely figured out the situation between Xiao Maha and Wang Hao. Seeing the consequences of Zhou Luohu's first release of this strict zhòng, it was really not Xiao Maha, a reckless man. It's Wang Fei, the black-bellied master.

Come to think of it. His heart moved, and he asked, "Why did Wang Yan get involved in this?" Xiao Shilian is not his son, so he has to work so hard to save it. ”

Chen Zhishen suddenly came to talk, and his eyes also lit up: "Brother doesn't know, this Wang Gong and my General Xiao are grasshoppers on a rope, both of them are unambitious old people of the Southern Dynasty, and they have been working in the Han Dynasty for many years, so the relationship is good." ”

"A few years ago, Wang Jun was assigned to Lingnan. It was General Xiao of my family who repeatedly pleaded in front of Yang Liang, and Yang Liang would get him back to Jinyang again after Wang Cheng completed his sentence. Wang Fei is also grateful to my family General Xiao for this, and has been helping General Xiao with ideas since then, and even General Xiao finally made up his mind to follow Yang Liang to start an incident, which was the result of Wang Yong's final persuasion of him. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Hmm, I see, is Wang Yan's son also in Daxing?" Is it because his son was also in prison, so he figured out that Guò saved Xiao Shilian this time and rescued his son by the way? ”

Chen Zhishen waved his hand. The finger-thick iron chain that locked his hands snapped, and he said, "Not like that. Wang Qi's son Wang Qi is now in Jinyang. Because of the defeat of Yang Liang's expedition to Goguryeo in the nineteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang, more than 80 generals and strategists under him, including Wang Cheng, were dismissed from office and transferred to Lingnan. ”

"Later, although Yang Liang took Wang Fei back, Wang Gong had been reduced to the people, so his son Wang Qi did not stay in Daxing as a child of the official family, but went to Jinyang with Wang Gong."

Yang Xuan sighed: "I see, it's really a blessing and a curse, it was unlucky for Wang Cheng to lose his official position and be transferred to Lingnan, but this also saved his son from being a hostage in Daxing City." But then again, Yang Liang's defeat is now decided, that Wang Cheng's son rebelled with his father in Jinyang, and if he was caught by the imperial court, he was afraid that he would have to accompany his father on the road, the ups and downs of life are really interesting. ”

Chen Zhishen also sighed and said: "Actually, Chen has always opposed General Xiao's uprising, but I am soft-spoken, and I can't compare to that Wang Fei's clever tongue, and in the end, I didn't persuade General Xiao, and it was all my fault to watch him embark on this desperate road." As he said this, his eyes glistened with tears and he almost burst into tears.

Yang Xuangan saw that Chen Zhishen was about to be emotional, and immediately took his hand and said: "That's not your fault, General Xiao is not a person who can be moved by you or that Wang Gong, he follows his own heart, and wants to be a general, and finally die on the battlefield, and the horse leather is shrouded." Since the emperor didn't give him this opportunity, he fought for one himself, and this was Xiao Maha, the first general of the Southern Dynasty. ”

Chen Zhishen was speechless after hearing this, and only said a sentence after a long time: "You still know my family General Xiao!" ”

Yang Xuangan looked at the moon outside the window, and estimated that it had been almost an hour here, and everything that should be said and done had been said and done, and there was no point in staying.

So Yang Xuangan stood up and said to Chen Zhishen: "Chen Yishi, I'll go back today, don't forget what I told you, if someone in the court asks about you, you just have to tell the truth about the first time you sent the letter, so that my family master can save Xiao Shilian, and if you're lucky, your own life can be saved." ”

The light in Chen Zhishen's eyes flashed, he also stood up, nodded and said: "I wrote it down, you can rest assured, Chen's life has long been handed over to General Xiao, and he has never taken life and death to heart when he came out this time, but the prince also asked General Zhou to do his best to protect it, and we will also be grateful for his great kindness under Jiuquan." ”

Yang Xuangan walked out of the cell, he breathed a long sigh of relief, in this conversation with Chen Zhishen, not only successfully persuaded Chen Zhishen to truthfully move in front of Yang Guang as he said in the future, but also unexpectedly learned that Xiao Maha was actually instructed by the king to blackmail Zhou Luohu like this.

With Wang Fei's ingenuity, how could he not have imagined that the more Zhou Luohu pulled people to help intercede, the more impossible it would be to rescue Xiao Shilian, and even only bring death to himself, but Wang Fei did not hesitate to let Xiao Maha reply to force him, and insisted on pulling Zhou Luohu to accompany him to the funeral, this vicious heart is really incredible.

Yang Xuangan was in prison just now and wanted to ask Chen Zhishen if Zhou Luohu and Wang Hao had a grudge before, but then thought about it, Wang Hao was not an official in Nan Chen, and Chen Zhishen was such a retinue of the Xiao Mansion. They may not know about confidential matters such as their master's grievances with others. Rashly asked. will also leave the suspicion of provoking the relationship between Xiao Wang and Wang, and may even miss a major event.

Although Chen Zhishen did not say how to contact the accomplice who kept the letters, presumably Chen Zhishen himself was in prison, and it was impossible to pass on the news to the outside world, and that accomplice would really be as Chen Zhishen said, completely depending on the results, if Zhou Luohu could not save Xiao Shilian's life, or directly killed Chen Zhishen in the camp. This accomplice would report to the court about the secret correspondence between Zhou Luohu and Xiao Maha.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuangan couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and thought that Xiao Maha, although he knew that he was in a catastrophe this time, he was counting on his son to escape and continue the Xiao family's incense, which is also human nature and understandable.

But that Wang Fei didn't know what Ann was thinking. Obviously, his doomsday can be counted, and he is destined to be beheaded by the whole door. But he couldn't see that Zhou Luohu, who was also a descendant of the Southern Dynasty, could be happy, so he did not hesitate to coax the simple-minded Xiao Maha and threaten him with that reply letter.

If it weren't for Zhou Luohu's firm will, and if he didn't follow the bad idea of his vicious, selfish and stupid eldest son Zhou Zhongyin, and directly kill Chen Zhishen to kill him, I am afraid that the Zhou family would also follow in the footsteps of the Xiao family and go to the court together.

Yang Xuangan's back was cold, this kind of death has to pull a person on his back is too terrible, Xiao Maha rescued him from Lingnan, so he has a great grace, but in the end he has become a prop for him to harm people, and Xiao Shilian will undoubtedly become an incidental victim of his killing of the Zhou family, if Xiao Maha knows the truth of this qiē, I don't know what kind of Cheng dù will regret and be sad.

Yang Xuangan thought of Wang Fei's brother Wang Xuan again, thinking that after the destruction of Chen, he did not give up, and convened the old department of his deceased father Wang Shengbian, and dug up the body of Chen Baxian, the founder of the Chen Dynasty, who killed his father's enemy, and drank it mixed with river water after crushing the bones and ashes.

Yang Xuangan was thinking about walking as he could, when suddenly there was a strange laugh around him, revealing an indescribable evil, but it was so familiar.

Yang Xuangan turned his head suddenly, but found that he had already walked outside the prison, the starry sky made the courtyard outside bright, but in the dark corner on the side of the cell door, there was an indescribable murderous aura.

Yang Xuangan immediately began to be on guard, the muscles of his whole body tensed up all of a sudden, his left hand clenched into a fist, clenched his fist tightly, and his right hand touched the handle of the single knife hanging on his waist, and his eyes instantly swept the whole courtyard, searching for a way to escape.

Yang Xuangan suddenly found the main entrance, and there were two places to escape from the courtyard wall where a big car was parked a dozen steps on the right, but he didn't know if there were other party's accomplices in ambush outside the door and behind the wall, and he didn't know where the officers and soldiers who were guarding the prison were now.

Yang Xuangan had a preliminary idea in his heart, no matter who the other party was, at least the enemy was dark and the situation was unfavorable, and the top priority was to force the other party out of the shadows. Thinking of this, he looked at the dark corner and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is it? If you don't come out again, you're welcome! ”

Two points of green flashed in the darkness, just like the ghost fire seen when walking in the cemetery at night, terrifying, a man of medium height, dressed as a jailer, walked out of the shadows, it was Wang Shichong!

Yang Xuangan was taken aback, even the mask on his face almost fell to the ground, and he lost his voice and said, "Wang Shichong, how could it be you!" ”

Wang Shichong replied with a smile: "Yang Xuangan, you are really good at Yaxing, the enemy still has time to visit this Jiezhou prison, or are there any important people in this prison that are worthy of you coming over?" ”

Yang Xuangan knew that Wang Shichong's eyesight was excellent, and his voice, figure, and appearance had already been memorized by him, and he would recognize him even if he was wearing a mask.

Yang Xuangan quickly glanced around, especially carefully looked at the shadow behind Wang Shichong, judging from the murderous aura exuding from it, there were at least seven or eight big men with swords lurking inside, but outside the courtyard wall, there was calm, and no one seemed to be lurking.

Yang Xuangan said in a deep voice: "Wang Shichong, you should explain, why are you not in the Songze camp now, but leading people to lurk here?" Also, where did the guards go here? Are you trying to disobey my father's orders? ”

Wang Shichong laughed, took out a token from his waist, threw it to Yang Xuangan, and said, "You take a closer look at this thing first." ”

Yang Xuangan reached out and grabbed the token from the air, feeling cold in his hand. Heavy. He took a closer look at the moonlight. It's a gold medal. The dragon is carved and the python is carved on the front, and the word "royal" is written on the front, and the reverse side of the token is engraved with a slightly smaller "edict" character.

Yang Xuangan recognized this gold medal, it was a gold medal given by the royal family, and seeing the card was like seeing the emperor himself. On two occasions, when Yang Jian sent envoys to his home to summon Yang Su to enter the palace urgently, he held this token.

Yang Xuan was shocked, but fortunately he was wearing a mask at this time. Without letting people see the expression, he threw the gold medal back to Wang Shichong and said, "How can this thing be in your hand?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled "hehe", his voice was as harsh as ever, and he said: "Unexpectedly, Yang Xuangan, when your father and son sent troops to Huozhou Canyon, the emperor secretly gave me this token, and asked me to monitor the movements of your father's army, if there is anything abnormal." Report it right away. In addition, there is also the right to act cheaply, and the generals below the government can be beheaded. ”

Yang Xuan's heart sank. He never thought that Yang Guang would send Wang Shichong to be the supervisor, so Yang Xuangan took off his mask, his eyes were like electricity, he stared at Wang Shichong tightly, and said: "My father sent me over to interrogate some rebel generals, I have already finished asking, if you are interested in going in and finding someone, please do it!" Xuan Gan still has important things to do, so he won't accompany him. After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Wang Shichong waved his hand and said, "Yang Xuangan, there are only you and me here, so you don't want to catch up with old friends?" ”

Yang Xuangan glanced at the dark corner, the murderous aura was still there, obviously Wang Shichong's subordinates were still ambushed there, he glanced at Wang Shichong: "It seems that the one in that shadow corner is not some old friend of mine." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, waved his hand at the shadow behind him, and said: "Today, I will talk to General Yang, you will guard outside first, and no one will be allowed to approach within fifty steps, by the way, let the soldiers guarding the prison also stay a hundred steps away." ”

Out of the shadows came more than a dozen black-clothed, fierce-looking big men, all of them were powerful, led by a man with a black face and beard, tall and burly, and his eyes were full of murderous energy, which was the same Wang Renze when he first met Wang Shichong outside Daxing City.

Yang Xuangan stared at Wang Renze coldly and said, "Wang Renze, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Wang Shichong also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and said to Wang Renze with a straight face: "Didn't you hear my order?" Get out! ”

Wang Ren put away the fierce light in his eyes, saluted Wang Shichong, and hurried away with those subordinates, and in a blink of an eye, the courtyard of five or six zhang square was empty, and only Yang Xuangan and Wang Shichong were left.

Wang Shichong put on a smiling face again and said, "Yang Xuangan, don't you think the two of us are really destined?" You can always meet in the right place at the right time. ”

Yang Xuan felt a wave of nausea in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Knowing you is the most unlucky thing in my life, you and I are not friends, I used to say it very clearly." ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Aren't we allies joining forces to make great things?" Why aren't they friends? ”

Yang Xuangan directly interrupted Wang Shichong's words and said: "Allies just have a common goal, a cooperative relationship based on common interests, and the friends I Yang Xuangan want to make first need to look at character, and you are not qualified in this regard." ”

Wang Shichong's smile gradually solidified on his face, and there was a bit of anger in his voice: "Yang Xuangan, your innate sense of superiority really annoys me, I don't want to say anything about looking down on people, among the dignitaries of the imperial court, I thought you were still a person, and you wouldn't just look at people based on your identity, but now I am more and more skeptical that my judgment is correct." ”

Yang Xuangan waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with identity, I'm talking about character." Do you know what character is? Wang Shichong, I have never denied your talent, and I can even say that I appreciate it. ”

Yang Xuangan's tone changed: "It's a pity that you don't have the right mind, for your own selfish interests, you don't hesitate to mess up the world, just by virtue of this, you are not worthy of being my friend Yang Xuangan." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Okay, there is no need to argue about this issue, there will never be a result!" I don't have such good luck as you, I was born with a prime minister's father, I don't have to do anything to be a supreme general, all my Wang Shichong is working hard by myself, you Yang Xuangan had better remember this. ”

Yang Xuangan didn't want to talk nonsense with him on this issue, so he changed the topic and said, "The emperor asked you to monitor the army, why did you come to this Jiezhou prison?" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Wang Shichong's eyes: "What is there to monitor the army?" Now that the overall situation has been decided, if I can't solve any big cases, I'm doomed to go back empty-handed. Yang Xuangan, don't say dark words in front of the Ming, the person I want to find is the Chen Zhishen you just met. ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly noticed Wang Shichong's jailer dress, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, his eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Wang Shichong, when did you change your career to become a jailer, if you want to interrogate a prisoner, just take it away with a gold medal, do you need to pretend to be a jailer, and hide outside with a group of men?" ”

Wang Shichong's face changed slightly, and he said, "Before I take away an important object, I pretend to be a jailer to observe these people, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yang Xuangan had dealt with Wang Shichong many times, and knew that the more this person said this, the more he often covered up his true intentions, so he retorted without hesitation: "Wang Shichong, just now you said that you wanted to come here to make great contributions, and you were going to take away that Chen Zhishen." Chen Zhishen is being held in solitary confinement, how do you know that he is a big fish, and his value can exceed that of a rebel general like Ruru Tianbao in prison? (To be continued......)
