Chu Huan sighed: "Commanding Li makes righteousness come first, which is admirable. However, I believe that Ling Yan will be able to turn evil into good fortune. ”

Li Wangsun smiled bitterly: "Nine deaths, I am willing to replace her with my life, but I must first find out General Mu." General Mu is the leader of Tianmen Dao in Anyi, although they are well-organized, as long as General Mu is held, the entire Tianmen Dao disciples in Anyi will be leaderless, and their conspiracy will be difficult to succeed. ”

Chu Huan thought for a moment, and finally said: "Commander Li, who do you think is the most suspicious of the government?" ”

Li Wang Sun sighed slightly, and finally said: "This matter is very important, and there is no absolute evidence for the lower officials, and there are some things to say...... Don't dare to talk nonsense. ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly, "There are only you and me here, out of your mouth, into my ears, God knows that you know I know, and it doesn't hurt to command the envoy but talk about it." ”

Li Wangsun was silent again, and after a long time, he finally said: "Lord Chu, the lower officials are just guessing randomly, if what you say is wrong, you must not take it to heart." The words of the lower officials are only the words of one family, and they cannot be done accurately. ”

Chu Huan raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay to command the envoy!" ”

Li Wang Sun said solemnly: "If it is most likely to be General Mu's, it can only be ......!" After a pause, he said word by word: "Governor Yuan!" ”

"Yuan Chongshang?" Chu Huan's eyebrows locked.

Li Wangsun smiled bitterly: "This is just Xia Guan's personal speculation. ”

Chu Huan stared at Li Wangsun and asked, "Why does the commander have such a speculation?" ”

Li Wangsun hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be a little cautious, but he was silent for a while, and finally said: "In fact, many people will think that Governor Yuan is the favored minister of the saint, and the saint asked him to serve as the governor of one party, not because of how talented he is, but because of this person's loyalty to the saint, this is known to many people in the court, and many people will think that the saint is so loving, Yuan Chongshang will inevitably be loyal to the saint, and there is no ambition!" ”

Chu Huan leaned back in his chair and asked, "Isn't that the case?" ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I've been with Governor Yuan for a long time, if Xia Guan is just an outsider, I'll think so." Li Wangsun's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "You have to be favored by the saint, and the governor of the official residence, with such an identity, no one will think that Governor Yuan will turn his back on the court and be disappointed by the saint." It's just that...... In the eyes of the lower officials, Governor Yuan doesn't seem to be comfortable all these years! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Huan was interested.

"The lower official dares to ask, if it were you, would you like to be the governor of Anyi Road?" Li Wangsun stared at Chu Huan's eyes and asked slowly.

Chu Huan frowned, knowing that Li Wangsun's words were very strange, and asked rhetorically, "Why are you unwilling?" ”

Li Wangsun sighed: "My lord should know that this Anyi Dao, to put it bluntly, since the establishment of the country, it is the world of the Huang Ju clan of Anguo Gong. As far as I know, Governor Yuan was really ready to do a big job when the new official arrived, but he soon understood that although he was a dignified governor, he couldn't do this important thing in Anyi Dao at all. ”

Chu Huan let out an "oh".

Li Wang Sun said: "Governor Yuan has been in Anyi for more than ten years, and the first thing he did when he arrived was to open a ditch in Xishan and divert water to the north ......of Xishan. ”

Chu Huan knew that when Li Wangsun talked about this, there must be a reason, so he didn't intervene.

"It's just that Governor Yuan didn't know at that time that there were many pine trees on the Tin Mountain." Li Wangsun said slowly: "Those pine trees are all precious varieties, which are the industries under the name of the Huang family, you said that you want to open mountains and divert water, how can the Huang family agree?" Governor Yuan only knew about this when he was there, but this order had already been issued, and even he found a craftsman to conduct a field survey, and when he understood that Xishan was the property of the Huang family, it was already difficult to ride a tiger. ”

Chu Huan was a little stunned, Li Wangsun seemed to understand Chu Huan's thoughts, and explained: "Governor Yuan is a martial artist, and he does things vigorously and resolutely, after taking office, he wants to do a lot of work, and opening mountains and diverting water is what he wants to do, but he has just arrived, and the government does not buy his account, and some people even want to watch him make a fool of himself, so many people know that Governor Yuan Kaixishan will inevitably have a conflict with the Huang family, but no one reminded him, until the field survey, the people of the Huang family came forward, and Governor Yuan knew that something was wrong." ”

"At that time, Governor Yuan had even posted a notice to recruit people." Li Wangsun smiled faintly, "The whole Taiyuan knows that Governor Yuan wants to open Xishan, if it can't be done, Governor Yuan will lose his trust when he first arrives, and it will be even more difficult to gain a foothold in Anyi in the future." The Huang family is the head snake of the land, and there is still an Guogong in the court, and the governor of Yuan was blocked from opening the mountain, and finally gritted his teeth and played this matter to the saint, only hoping that the saint would make the decision for him, so that the first major thing he did in Anyi could be successfully completed and establish his prestige. ”

Chu Huan already understood something, and sighed: "At that time, Huang Ju was in the morning like the sun, and Yuan Chongshang naturally couldn't be the opponent of the Huang family. ”

"Not bad." Li Wangsun nodded and said: "The will of the Holy Lord soon came, not only did not favor Governor Yuan, but scolded Governor Yuan, saying that Governor Yuan was impetuous, and when the new official took office, he would be in a hurry and harass the local people...... The things behind this, Lord Chu thought about it clearly. After this incident, Yuan Chongshang was laughed at because of the laughter, and his reputation fell to the bottom, Yuan Chongshang also knew that he was far from being the opponent of the Huang family, and he later wanted to do a few things, but they were all in front of the Huang family's horizontal fence and could not be done, and the Huang family wanted to do something, in Anyi, it was a hundred responses, Governor Yuan saw the situation clearly, from now on, no matter how big or small the matter, he had to discuss with Huang Tianyi, although he was the governor, but only a name, the real lord of Anyi, is the Huang family! ”

Chu Huan raised his eyebrows and said, "This Governor Yuan, who looks noble, seems to be just a puppet!" ”

"Exactly." Li Wangsun nodded and said, "I am afraid that the only thing he can really command is his five thousand Praetorian Guards." Over the years, he has been living in the shadow of the Huang family, and I am the Sixteenth Dao of Great Qin, and the most cowardly and most breath-holding governor is only this Governor Yuan. After a pause, he said softly: "I remember a few years ago, I drank with him, and that day he had a conflict with the Huang family because of political affairs, and he was annoyed, and Fang Shihao was present at that time, he drank a lot of wine that day, and after getting drunk, he just talked a few nonsense, what ......!" He smiled bitterly and said: "What did the Holy Lord say to him unfairly, if it wasn't for Fang Shihao to help him down, I'm afraid he would have to say some disrespectful words." ”

Chu Huan said thoughtfully: "In this way, he has not been comfortable in Anyi all these years. ”

"The Heavenly Gate Dao is pervasive, and over the years, I have secretly developed my strength in the various Daos of Great Qin." Li Wang Sun Zhengse said: "The lower officials are afraid that Tianmen Dao will take advantage of the loophole, and they will ...... long ago He has already bought the Governor of Yuan! ”

"Possibly." Chu Huan nodded and said: "Yuan Chongshang is unwilling, Tianmen Dao has intentions, if Tianmen Dao offers rich conditions, our Governor Yuan may not betray." ”

Li Wangsun frowned and said: "Although this is the case, but even if it is a bag, after all, it is a governor of one party, and there may be the possibility of being promoted to Beijing in the future. Xia Guan has never figured it out, so he has never been sure. It's just that......! After a pause, there was another cough, almost coughing out the lungs, it seems that the body is indeed very bad, the handkerchief wiped the corners of the mouth, and then said softly: "It's just that just two days ago, Yuan Chongshang suddenly came to the door and asked the lower officials to mobilize the Praetorian Guards, and the lower officials were on guard, Yuan Chongshang ...... I'm afraid that I have other intentions! “

"What do you mean?"

"Yuan Chongshang knows very well that the guards who can be mobilized by the lower officials are only 500 people, and once they exceed 500 people, they will violate military law." Li Wang Sun said solemnly: "In other words, as soon as the five hundred guards are transferred, the lower officials will no longer be able to mobilize other guards. Huzhou thieves are in turmoil in the jungle, and Yuan Chongshang can obviously send other soldiers and horses to quell the chaos, but ...... However, he claimed that the soldiers and horses would be used to deal with the Huang family rebellion in Yusuohu, and that the Huzhou jungle was just a few thieves, and he wanted to transfer 500 guards to quell the rebellion. ”

Chu Huan's face was expressionless, his eyes flashing.

"Xia Guan only thinks it's a little weird, so he insists on his own opinion and can transfer troops, but the guard army can only be used for city defense, not out of Taiyuan." Li Wang Sun Zhengse said: "Xia Guan always feels that the people of Tianmen Dao have been very restless recently, and they don't hide it from Lord Chu, Xia Guan Xin is quite suspicious of what Yuan Chongshang has done, he wants to transfer out the guard army under Xia Guan, why?" ”

Chu Huan asked rhetorically, "Does the commander think that Tianmen Dao has made a move recently?" ”

"The lower officials are not sure." Li Wang Sun Zhengse said: "But...... Xia Guan has always felt a little unsteady these days, and it seems that something big is about to happen. ”

Chu Huan pondered for a moment and asked: "At the public gate, Lao Jun Xi Po, this former sentence refers to General Mu in the official mansion, how to explain the latter sentence?" ”

Li Wangsun's face showed a look of doubt, frowning slightly, Chu Huan said in a low voice: "I know that Tianmen Dao worships Taishang Laojun, this Laojun naturally refers to Tianmen Dao, but the word 'Xi Po', how to explain it?" ”

Li Wangsun thought for a moment, "When the assassin said these eight words, Xia Guan was at a loss, but now some of them have been solved. Xia Guan felt that this should be the password of Tianmen Dao, and their conspiracy should be related to these eight words. In the public gate, it has been pointed out that General Mu is in the public gate, so Lao Jun Xi Po must be a huge secret ......! ”

Chu Huan closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Old Jun Xi Po...... It's ......! ”

Soon there was a deathly silence in the room, neither of them spoke, and after a long time, Chu Huan raised his eyebrows, his eyes had opened, and asked, "Commander, what day is today?" ”

Li Wangsun didn't understand why Chu Huan asked this, and replied: "Today, the dumplings are still steaming in the mansion during the day...... Hmm, twenty-four sweep the house, twenty-five steamed dumplings, twenty-six, cut off the meat...... It's the time of the hour, Lord Chu, today should be the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month! ”

"The twenty-sixth of the lunar month?" Chu Huan lowered his head, calculated, and raised his head: "Plus today, there are five days left to be Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”

"Exactly!" Li Wang Sun said: "After five days, Chinese New Year's Eve...... Chinese New Year's Eve......! Suddenly realizing something, his body shook, and his eyes showed surprise, "Lord Chu, Lao Jun Xipo, do you mean...... Chinese New Year's Eve? ”
