Zhao Junma stopped in front of Yunxiao, "Check, who checks?" Lu Fei? Joke, he doesn't have this ability yet, I'm just worried about these things now, who else knows, how much does this Lu Fei know, why did he come to tell me this? ”

Yunxiao didn't understand either, "Does it matter how much he knows?" You have to think about how you can make the Zhao family cut off all relations with these things, I don't want to be beheaded with you."

Zhao Junma hurriedly forced a smile, "Don't be anxious, the county lord is not as serious as you said, more than half of the people in the court have been facing me over the years, the silver is not spent in vain, if you want to kill me with this little thing, it will be early, now I think it is better to inform your father of this matter first, and see what he says"

Yunxiao flicked his sleeves and turned his face, "Don't think about it, you can handle your affairs yourself, and Ning Wangfu will never participate"

Zhao Junma was also anxious, "You are too naïve, are you daring to do this?" Why do I use so many ministers?"

Yunxiao will never let this matter involve his father again, even if the matter of encircling the minister is done by his father, the matter can only be concluded in the Zhao Mansion, even if he dies, he must keep the Ning Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yunxiao, who calmed down, sighed, "Why are you so flustered?" He didn't say that he wanted to report this matter to the court, don't mess up the matter, think about it calmly, how can you cut off the connection between this matter and the Zhao Mansion, I think that even if the emperor is suspicious of this matter, he must check that there is no evidence, and if necessary, he will find someone who has been bribed by you to say more good things for you, I think the emperor will let us go."

Zhao Junma was in a mess for a while, and was slowly started by Yunxiao, no matter what the purpose of Lu Fei was, it really didn't matter, once the rumors spread, it was impossible to stop, so he could only make moves on the matter of silver, and only three people knew best about transporting silver to the capital, one was the Hu steward who came forward for the Zhao Mansion, and the other was Zhang Razi, the general of the Anqing Battalion who escorted the silver, this person dared to do anything for money, and the third was the officials who collected the money.

After Yinzi left the Zhao family, only these three people were handled, and if he wanted to cut off the clues pointing to the Zhao Mansion, the best way was to get rid of Zhang Rake, even if the emperor wanted to check at that time, then contact the ministers of the court, and insist that the money was sent by General Zhang, in order to ask for a better background, can the emperor still kill so many important ministers in one go? Well, this can prevent problems before they happen.

Zhao Junma told Yunxiao about his ideas, but Yunxiao did not oppose or support it, and returned to the attic without saying a word.

To kill a leading general is not something that he can do as a county horse, Zhao Junma was alone in the flower hall thinking about how to get rid of this hidden danger quietly, at this moment, someone came to report, saying that someone outside the door asked to see.

As soon as the person who came appeared in front of Zhao Junma, he was really surprised, this person was General Zhang.

Lu Fei just came out of the Zhao Mansion, and saw Zhang Rake with two guards, dressed in civilian clothes, and walked into the Zhao Mansion quickly, he laughed in the sedan chair, and muttered to himself, "Old boy, come early next time, oh, by the way, you may not have a next time" He smiled, waved his hand at the sedan chair man, "Let's go"

Zhao Junma asked Steward Hu to bring Zhang Rake into the secret room, which was full of large wooden boxes, some of which had not yet been covered, and they were neatly stacked gold and silver ingots and antique calligraphy and paintings.

Steward Hu held the candlestick in front of him to lead the way, as soon as Zhang Rake saw these things, he was shocked, and he was about to turn around and go out in a hurry, this is the treasure house of the Zhao Mansion, let an outsider like him know, it is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate with one foot, it is best not to know anything, don't see anything.

As soon as Zhang Rake turned around, Zhao Junma pushed him behind him, and said unhappily or angrily, "General, don't worry, you are my confidant, and some gold and silver will not be kept secret from you, please"

Zhang Razi's own soldiers were all left in the front hall, and he could only walk forward.

There are three rooms in and out of the secret room, each of which is these things, Zhang Rake is an expert in playing with silver, while walking, he silently counts this, his feet intentionally or unintentionally kick and touch the passing box, the voice is dull, which shows that the box is full, Zhang Rake is secretly surprised, obediently, the Zhao family is really rich in oil leakage.

These boxes are roughly estimated to be tens of millions of taels, and this is only the silver in the house, if all the properties of the Zhao family are added up, the number is immeasurable, and in the whole world, I am afraid that only the emperor and his family can compare with it.

When he walked to the innermost secret room, Steward Hu used the candlestick in his hand to light up the rest of the lamps on the wall, and in an instant, the secret room was bright, the candlelight shone in the wooden box without a lid, the gold and silver reflected the yellow light, Zhang Rake was dazzled, he had seen money and made money, and at this time he only had to swallow saliva again and again.

Looking at this posture, the contents of these wooden boxes seem to have been loaded recently, and it may be that they have been here for a long time, but they have recently been reloaded and reloaded so that they can be transported away.

This secret room is not big, except for the wooden box, there is not even a stool, Zhao Junma walked to Zhang Rake's side, "General Zhang, didn't you say that you don't want to come to me directly if there is no major matter?"

Zhang Rake was also the number one person in the Tang Dynasty, but in front of Zhao Junma, he looked grovelling, he bent over, arched his hand, and said, "The last general is here to be a big secret, and I have to meet the county horse."

Zhao Junma sighed, "What's so urgent?"

Zhang Rake took a step forward, came to the side of the county horse, and said, "The spies of the last general have been secretly visiting the bandits in Susong City in the past few days, and they have overheard something related to Lu Zhi County."

"What?"

"Lu Zhixian seems to be secretly investigating the matter of the battalion army escorting silver over the years"

Zhao Junma's face twisted, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Find out who my battalion is secretly escorting a large amount of cash for"

Zhao Junma was confused, and said in his heart: Lu Fei just came to tell me that he overheard this from your barracks, no matter how you look at it, Lu Fei doesn't look like he is secretly visiting, if he really wants to harm me, is it necessary to remind me again? Isn't he afraid that I will kill him?

The bribes shipped to Liangjing over the years are top secret, where did Lu Fei hear the rumors, why did he want to investigate, it doesn't make sense, even if Lu Fei can find out about this matter, what benefits can he get? Maybe the emperor was angry for a while and beheaded my Zhao family, but what will happen to the thousands of officials who have received money inside and outside the court, and they will all be sent to Zhao Prison? This is impossible, in this way, the entire court of the Tang Dynasty will be paralyzed, and in the end, Lu Fei will only offend the entire Tang Dynasty officialdom, and death will not be far away.

With Lu Fei's cleverness, he can't even understand this simple truth, which also shows that Lu Fei didn't think about investigating the bribery at all, it is likely that the news he knew was completely heard from the military camp, maybe he wanted to cheat some money from the Zhao family, or maybe he wanted to blackmail me to get rid of the influence of the Zhao Mansion on the county government, no matter what Lu Fei's purpose was, Zhao Junma always firmly believed that Lu Fei would not ask for credit from the imperial court, and the bribery of silver was a hornet's nest, and whoever stabbed him would never recover.

So Zhao Junma asked Zhang Rake rhetorically, "How much do you think he knows?" Why did he want to check, you must know that Lu Zhixian has only been in office for half a month, as far as I know, he has not been idle for half a month, and he is not anxious one day."

Zhang Rake saw that the county master didn't believe it, and changed his tone, as if Lu Fei was his mortal enemy, "This person is tricky and eccentric, he is the main hall of a county at a young age, thinking that he is not a thing in the pool, he wants to ascend to the sky in one step, and wants to be promoted with political achievements for a long time, so he simply does not do two endlessly, and wants to make a miracle to the world, so he can rise to the top, as for how he knows about this, then the end will not be known."

Zhao Jun laughed, "He is a small county magistrate, neither an imperial historian, nor a background background, if he wants to participate in the Ning Wangfu and my county Ma Mansion, will he move a stone to hit himself in the foot, is he stupid or you are confused, and I ask you, such confidential matters are only known to the three people in this secret room, who leaked it"

Zhang Rake's forehead sweated slightly, this is really stealing chickens and rice, he was struggling, "I don't know about this."

Zhao Junma's face sank, "Then go and investigate, anyone involved in the escort must investigate"

Zhang Rake said, "It's impossible, those people are my most loyal subordinates."

Zhao Junma waved his arm, "Loyalty is the least valuable, even if they are loyal to you, you dare to guarantee that they will not lose their words after drinking"

Zhang Rake could only bow his waist and say yes again and again, and said in his heart: How can this be the case, the county master doesn't seem to believe his words, and it seems that he doesn't want Lu Fei to die, it's a mess, but Steward Hu gave me two thousand taels of silver before, let me kill Lu Fei, isn't this what the county master meant?

Zhao Junma asked Steward Hu to send Zhang Rake out, Zhang Rake walked a few steps and turned back and asked, "Dare to ask Jun Ma Ye, do you know Li Zhong?"

Zhang Rake was observing Zhao Junma's expression, and he wanted to see if Jun Ma Ye would really replace himself with Li Zhong.

Zhao Junma thought about it for a while, and said casually, "Li Zhong? Isn't he your general?"

Zhang Rake walked back, "Yes, yes, Jun Ma Ye has a really good memory, I don't know what your impression of him is?" ”

Zhao Junma didn't think much about it, it was a coincidence, he happened to see this person in the past two days, and he still had some impressions, so he bluntly said, "Brave but not arrogant, loyal and righteous, he is a strong general, what's wrong with him?" ”

Zhang Razi secretly shouted that it was not good, and he admired Li Zhong quite when he heard this tone, and he said, "The last general thinks that if you can afford it, the last general is willing to leave him in the county horse mansion and take care of the family and care for the county horse master."

Zhao Junma wanted to laugh, when is this, is it useful to pat the horse's ass, waved his hand and said, "No need, it's a talent to be condescended, let's let him make contributions on the battlefield"

These ordinary words sounded like a back to Zhang Rake, what does it mean to let him make contributions on the battlefield, Lao Tzu will go back to build a tomb for him now, and bury him alive, a thing that betrays the Lord and seeks glory.

Zhao Junma returned to the front hall, and Steward Hu also came back after sending Zhang Rake, and Steward Hu asked puzzledly, "Young Master, didn't you say that the only way to cut off this matter from us is to get rid of Zhang Rake, why do you want to let him go back?" ”

Zhao Jun Ma said, "Kill here?" Crazy, if a general dies in my house, can I explain it clearly, and he is still a general, leading the army to fight abroad, once he dies, the emperor will not investigate to the end, the older you get, the less shrewd your brain is."

Steward Hu smiled, "Little ashamed, you don't think far-reaching, young master, then you let him go back?" ”

"No, I can't kill him now, I still have to discuss this matter with my old father-in-law, see what he means, you can arrange it, find a few reliable people to go to Ning Wangfu"

Steward Hu said with some concern, "But didn't the county lord say that he wouldn't implicate King Ning's Mansion?" Young master, aren't you afraid that the county lord will know? ”

Zhao Junma smiled disapprehantly, "That's her wishful thinking, this matter is inseparable from Ning Wangfu, how can she stay out of the world, besides, if I don't look for a big tree, who will go when the sky steps down?" ”

Steward Hu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Young master Gao Jian, the little one will go."

Steward Hu was just about to leave, but saw someone running in in a hurry.

"Young Master, King Ning is here"

Zhao Junma was startled, he was stunned when he saw the county lord, not to mention the county lord's father, and immediately stood up from the chair, "My father-in-law is here?" How did he arrive? ”

The Tang Dynasty has strict regulations, once the vassal king is in the domain, he can not leave his fiefdom privately, the violator will be fined silver, and the heavy one will take the prince, even if the vassal king wants to go out of the fiefdom, then he has to urgently ask the emperor of the capital for eight hundred miles, don't look at the prince one by one, he is actually a high-level prisoner, the real majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, that is only in the era of Emperor Li's son, one by one to open the government and build a mansion, live in eight, hold a heavy army, and have the capital to fight against the imperial court, which led to the later battle of the capital.

As soon as Zhao Junma's words fell, he heard a hearty laugh coming from outside the hall.

"Hahahaha, Yan'er, my father came to see you" As soon as I heard that it was King Ning, none of the subordinates in the Junma Mansion dared to come forward to ask, and they all knelt down far away.

A man over fifty years old walked into the Zhao Mansion compound with steady steps, King Ning was wearing a red dragon suit, the front chest, back and shoulders of the four-tailed golden dragon was majestic, the waist was surrounded by a jade belt, the head was a winged crown, and a few long whiskers swayed lightly in the wind, giving people the first feeling that they were refreshed, and the spirit of a king was full of gestures.

Zhao Junma hurriedly ran out of the front hall and knelt down in front of King Ning, "The son-in-law has seen my father-in-law."

Steward Hu also knelt down, "Meet King Ning"

Yunxiao, who was in the attic, also heard the voice, and poked his head out of the window, with a look of surprise on his face, "Father, why are you here?"

King Ning crossed his waist, laughed, and his voice was full of confidence, "Father asked me to go to Fengyang to worship my ancestors a few days ago, and I came to see you, ah, haha, daughter, come, come down, come down and show my father, see if you have gained weight here, ah, haha"

Then King Ning said to the county horse on the ground, "Virtuous son-in-law, please get up, the family doesn't need these rules, go"

Zhao Junma stood up, "Father-in-law, please, butler, hurry up and serve tea, let people clean the east wing well."

King Ning turned his face, "What is this?" ”

Zhao Junma said with a smile, "My father-in-law hasn't come for a while, so I must stay for a few more days this time, so that my son-in-law can be more respectful and filial."

Ning Wangyi raised his head and smiled, "Okay, according to you, Yan'er, you are down, your mother really misses you, and asked me to bring you your favorite dim sum for your career, come down and taste it."

Yunxiao appeared at the top of the stairs and pouted, "Then you don't want me?" ”

King Ning was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Think about it, come and hug my father"

Yunxiao happily ran into her father's strong embrace, more than a year, she finally saw her long-lost mother's family, at this moment, she lay on her father's arm, her nose was sore, and a line of homesick tears came out.
