Zhao Cai was fed by the sergeant and drank a few sips of water, relieved himself, and said: "The seat is about the mountain that entered the mountain at the turn of spring and summer this year, and I have lived in the cottage for more than half a month before and after. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In retrospect, in addition to teaching me a few kung fu, he also told me that Tiantai Mountain, located on the coast of the East China Sea, is the ancestral garden of our branch, and the Han people in Jiangzuo and Jiangnan are pure-blooded Han people, and we must not believe the words of other Han people and forget the blood feud between them and the Hu people. ”

Yang Shangxi listened to Zhao Cai's confession, but he didn't think there was anything special, but Yang Guang, who was sitting on the side, heard Zhao Cai say that when his so-called master told him that Jiangzuo Tiantai Mountain was the location of their ancestral court, he immediately became vigilant: In this way, the master Zhao Cai said is from the boundary under the jurisdiction of Jiangzuo Nan Chen, will he have something to do with the mysterious "goose's nest"?

"He never said anything he wanted you to confront the court? What happened to the eighteen Arhats joining forces to kill Hu? Yang Shangxi asked with a gloomy face.

"Eighteen Arhats joined forces to kill Hu? General Mingjian, I've never heard of this. Zhao Cai stomped his feet and pleaded.

"Then why do you claim to be the eighth of the eighteen arhats?"

"General, it turned out that when the master was in the cottage, he told me that before he came to Guanzhong, he had made a grand wish in front of the Buddha to accept eighteen Arhats as helpers to kill Hu and eliminate evil spirits. Because he also advocated killing Hu to eliminate evil spirits, which coincided with the idea of the cottage, I agreed to worship him as a disciple, and I really never heard of any eighteen Arhats joining the village to kill Hu. Zhao Cai changed his previous tough style, and almost didn't kneel down on the spot to explain to Yang Shangxi.

Yang Shangxi saw that Zhao Cai was speaking sincerely, not like he was lying on purpose, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, raised his head and asked Zhao Cai: "Are you willing to write a confession to ensure that what you just said is not a lie?" ”

"Yes, yes." Zhao Cai nodded in response.

"Someone is coming, bring down the bandit leader Arhat, write a confession and transfer it to detention, and take it into custody for the time being."

After the sergeant escorted Zhao Cai out of the meeting hall, Yang Guangfang hugged his fists and asked Yang Shangxi: "Please forgive me for asking this question below, but I don't know what happened to the eighteen Arhats who killed Hu in the village that General Yang just mentioned?" ”

Because the general sent to Huazhou to confirm Yang Guang's true identity has not yet returned, although Yang Shangxi has preliminarily determined that Yang Guang and An Ruoxi are by no means Zhao Cai's accomplices, but it is also inconvenient to reveal more important matters of the imperial court to him, so he pretended not to know, and asked Yang Guangdao: "Gongzi seems to have said before, to tell me a very important matter, there are only three people in the hall at the moment, if Gongzi finds it convenient, please say it." ”

Yang Guang wanted to get more information about the Jiang Zuo visitor who was known as the Bodhisattva from Yang Shangxi, and was about to open his mouth to ask again, but An Ruoxi grabbed his sleeve by the side, suggesting that he would answer Yang Shangxi's question first.

Yang Guang thought in his heart, even if he was pretending to be Li Hun's identity, he would never have a reason to ask or answer in front of Yang Shangxi, who was sitting in an important position in the third rank of the official residence at this time, but just based on what Zhao Cai said, it was difficult to deduce that his master Bodhisattva and Nan Chen's secret spy agency, Yanchao, would be implicated. Where do you start?

"Childe, please have tea." Yang Shangxi seemed to see the dilemma in Yang Guang's heart, raised his hand and motioned him to drink tea, and after a little thought, he took the initiative to introduce to him, "About two months ago, I received a secret report from scouts, saying that in the area of Tonghua and Tongguan, someone has secretly connected more than a dozen Hu Zhai recently, and wants to do something Eighteen Arhat Villages to kill Hu, because I found out that more than a dozen Hu Zhai Zhai combined forces, several tens of thousands of people, in the Guanzhong area can also be called a force that should not be underestimated, so I sent scouts in many ways, focusing on the people who are connected between the cottages everywhere to investigate. However, in the past few days, except for the fact that this person has connected eighteen killing Hu villages, as the master of each village owner, he has no idea whether he is a man or a woman, old or young, a monk or a layman. Recently, at a time when the imperial court was using troops in the north and south, and not long ago there were signs of rebellion in Huazhou, so I had to send more manpower, eager to quickly investigate and arrest this person, find out his origin, and take precautions. It happened that yesterday the two leaders under Zhao Cai went down the mountain to rob, and I caught him, and took advantage of the situation to capture him back to the city. That's all I know, I wonder if Childe has anything else to say to me? ”

Yang Shangxi was the first to speak, and Yang Guang could no longer hold back his words in his heart.

"General, seriously speaking, the cause of this incident lies in it." Yang Guang decided not to mention the "Wild Goose's Nest" to Yang Shangxi for the time being, so he raised his hand and stroked the head of the "Black General", and said, "Yesterday, the two of us lost our path in the deep mountains and snow, and mistakenly broke into the cottage led by Zhao Cai. I never wanted to be stopped by Zhao Cai and others in the middle of the road, because Zhao Cai threw the snow ball at that time, and shot it down in mid-air, I looked at the strength and technique of throwing the snow ball, and the previous time in Chang'an, I heard His Royal Highness the King of Jin mentioned a fierce rebellion is quite similar, I suspect that Zhao Cai and the fierce rebel are the same person, and because of the importance of the matter, it is difficult to determine whether Zhao Cai and the fierce rebellion in Chang'an City are from the same door, so when General Fang Cai asked, he was still a little hesitant in Xia, and he didn't know whether he should inform the general of this matter? ”

After experiencing his own major mistake and letting go of the more important suspect, Yang Guang has learned from the pain for several days, and he has been much more stable in speaking and doing things than before. Although he highly suspected that the so-called master under the pseudonym of the Bodhisattva was probably related to the Southern Chen Imperial Court based on the information that Yang Shangxi had just introduced, he still refused to tell Yang Shangxi and only picked up what he could say to tell him.

When Yang Shangxi heard Yang Guang mention the King of Jin, his eyebrows jumped, he looked at Yang Guang, and asked, "Do you know that Gongzi knows who this murderer mentioned by His Royal Highness the King of Jin is?" ”

"This, it seems that the person's name is Zhang Zhongjian, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a red beard, and he was originally the son of Zhang Jiling, the richest man in Guangling. His Royal Highness the King of Jin once mentioned to Zaixia that he suspected that this person was a spy sent to Chang'an by the Southern Chen court. Yang Guang hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth.

"Is Gongzi familiar with His Royal Highness King Jin?" Yang Shangxi suddenly asked an irrelevant word.

"In Xiahe, the King of Jin, the King of Qin, the King of Yue, the King of Han and other princes were originally classmates of Taixue." Because of the successive mentions of several princes, Yang Guang deliberately got up and replied.

"I see." Yang Shangxi narrowed his eyes and nodded at Yang Guang, "Childe and this little lady have been running around in the mountains for a night, and they must be tired." In this way, I ordered someone to clean up a clean room, and the son and the little lady stayed in Tongguan for a day for the time being, and when the son's escort came tomorrow, Yang personally sent the son out of the city to the eastern capital, okay? ”
