On the sixth day of the first month of June, Wang Xihu of Yuhang County held a banquet?

There was nothing wrong with this, and it was inconvenient for the magistrate to have anything to do with the vassal king, but there was nothing wrong with an ordinary festival banquet.

What's more, the king of Yuhang County is the uncle of today's official family, and he is warmly invited, so ordinary magistrates naturally have to give face.

Su Shi was somewhat surprised, just arrived in Hangzhou and was invited by the king of the county to pick up the wind and wash the dust? Do I have such a big face? If you don't agree, it's naturally not good, and at the same time, you have some doubts, you have only been in the palace for half a day, and the king of Yuhang County is really well-informed.

Zheng Zheng was a little envious, jealous and hateful, he didn't know Zhao Zongyong's true purpose, he only came for Su Shi's face. It is inevitable that I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I am a dignified bachelor of Hanlin, and my predecessor Kaifeng Mansion Yin came to Hangzhou, and he has never had such courtesy.

Look at Su Shi, he is just a Jin Shilang, and he is just a name. First of all, there were a lot of people on the dock, vying to greet them, and they almost welcomed them. Later, the county king set up a banquet to catch the wind, and this treatment was simply ...... Alas, is the face of a talented man so big?

Lin Zhao also received an invitation, and it was clear that it was to invite all the officials and well-known gentry in Hangzhou. Who dares not to give the face of the king of Yuhang County? What's more, June 6 was a festival in ancient times, and enjoying the cool and lotus was one of the important activities, which should be in time for the occasion.

Is it just that simple? At least Lin Zhao didn't think so, especially after the last time he pretended to be a great food envoy, he was a little suspicious of the Yuhang County Palace.

Although it is common for the vassal king to hold this kind of event, this year's Hangzhou is not calm, and there is always a strangeness at this juncture. There is a problem with the salt affairs in Hangzhou, and the local officials cannot escape the involvement, so what about the feudal royal family?

Emperor Zhao Ming knew that there was a problem with Hangzhou's salt affairs, but he didn't investigate it with great fanfare at the beginning, but let himself come to make an unannounced visit? If it weren't for the killing of the smuggler in Fangjia Village, the matter might never have been put on the table. Why was the emperor so cautious? Just afraid of startling the snake? The reason for this is inevitably reminiscent.

Therefore, the West Lake banquet on June 6 is likely to be greasy, and you must meet and investigate before going to the banquet, and be careful and vigilant. Lin Zhao originally wanted to hand over the matter to Su An, but he went to follow Mu Sihong's maid.

Maybe Mu Sihong is really too careful, now is the time to employ people, if there is no result in these two days, this line will be temporarily abandoned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The sixth day of June? Yuhang County Ya, a middle-aged man stood facing the wall with his hands in his hands, and asked softly.

"Yes, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Zhao Zongyong held a banquet in the West Lake, saying that it was to catch Su Shi's wind, and that it was to enjoy the cool and enjoy the lotus......" Yuhang County ordered Li Feng to stand respectfully behind him, which shows that this person's identity is not trivial.

"What is Zhao Zongyong doing with a good banquet? I'm afraid it's not easy! The man facing the wall turned around, and it was the descendant of Taizu, Shenwu General Zhao Shiju.

"Listening to our people on Jinghu South Road, it is likely to be the sixth day of the first lunar month." Li Feng replied softly.

Zhao Shiju smiled: "Look, I'm right! Zhao Zongyong is this kind of goods who want money and don't want to die, and it is not easy to come forward to create opportunities in person! ”

"In such a hurry, I'm afraid it's hard to get things done!" Li Feng sighed, and seemed to be a little disdainful.

"The chance of success is not great, but now that we know it, the chance of success is equal to zero!" Zhao Shiju smiled proudly and smiled coldly.

"We don't care if Zhao Zongyong succeeds or not, but this is an opportunity!" Zhao Shiju's bewitching wife was also in the house, and her fox-like sense of smell made her quickly find an opportunity in it.

Zhao Shiju said with a smile: "What Madam said is that Zhao Zongyong's father and son are just a group of fools who see money in the end, since he works so hard." Then let's have a trick to catch the praying mantis, how about the yellow finch behind? ”

Li Fengdao: "When the time comes, the attention of the entire Hangzhou will be released to the West Lake and the canal wharf, and the city will be empty and chaotic...... Then we have a chance! ”

"Haha, wait for the old days, continue to finally come." Mrs. Enchanting and happy, she clapped her hands and said, "As long as we are creating some chaos and stirring up their rest, we can take the opportunity to go to the palace and pick up the treasures left by our ancestors." That's nearly a hundred years of savings for two and thirteen weeks, and you will definitely be amazed when the time comes. ”

"With this batch of things, it will be much easier to recruit troops, and our big things will be just around the corner!"

The three of them were very excited, as if they had seen the dawn of victory, and showed a smile of relief. But at this moment, someone came to report: "My lord, it's not good, several of his subordinates are responsible for protecting the merchants from Jinghu South Road, and they found someone eavesdropping and using weapons in the inn." ”

"What?" Zhao Shiju, Li Feng, and Mrs. Enchanting were all shocked, and asked, "What is the situation?" ”

"The merchants were discussing the loading of the ship on the sixth day of the next month, and when they found someone approaching and eavesdropping, their men moved their swords against them. The eavesdropper was a woman, who had good martial arts, especially light skills, and was injured, but we couldn't stop her. ”

"Woman? What's the way? How the hell is it to keep up with them? Zhao Shiju was a little anxious, some things have been planned for too long, now is a critical moment, don't dare to make a mistake.

"I don't know, this woman is very clever, and I haven't noticed it before. At that time, the merchants talked about the salt transportation in a low voice, and the man probably wanted to listen more carefully, but he showed his feet. ”

"So, these people are here for salt?" Zhao Shiju couldn't help but groan, guessing the identity and origin of the woman.

Li Feng's reaction was quick and said, "Could it be an official family...... Su Shi or Lin Zhao's people? ”

"It's possible, but it's also possible that Zhao Zongyong's father and son are people, and it's common for merchants to arrive and conduct thorough investigations." Zhao Shiju also gradually calmed down.

The enchanting woman said: "Now sum it up, if the main messengers behind the scenes are different, what will be the consequences?" ”

"If it's Zhao Zongyong's person, there is no big problem, and there is nothing wrong with the merchants just talking about time." Zhao Shiju said: "But if it's Su Shi or Lin Zhao's people, it's a little troublesome!" ”

"yes, first of all, how did they target these merchants? We didn't even notice it. Furthermore, how much do they really know? Li Feng was very worried, obviously the sudden appearance of the eavesdropper made them a little flustered and a little frightened.

The bewitching woman said: "If it is Lin Zhao's person, we are worried that the drama behind the scenes on the sixth day of June will not be revealed, but now it is okay, Lin Zhao and they already know about it." ”

"If it's just like this, I naturally didn't ask!" Zhao Shiju's eyes were solemn and said, "The key is what is the purpose of this woman's tracking?" Who is it for? That's the most worrying thing. Li Feng, can you show any traces of your previous actions? ”

"No, except for the time in Fangjia Village, there hasn't been a big move for a long time. But that time it was done very secretively, and there was absolutely nothing wrong. Li Feng swore that people couldn't help but believe it.

"The husband is too worried, it is probably just an accident, Lin Zhao has been in Hangzhou for so long, and he must have been investigating the problem of illegal salt. The fact that the emperor was able to let him come proved that they had something to do, and it seemed that it was not difficult to find out the whereabouts of some private salt merchants...... So it must be for Zhao Zongyong's father and son. ”

After Mrs. Enchanting finished speaking, she also felt that her thoughts were a little lucky.

Zhao Shiju nodded lightly and said, "I can only think like this first!" I used to underestimate Lin Zhao, a kid, and I always thought that it would be difficult for him to make great achievements, but I didn't expect this kid to really have two hits. ”

"So what do we do now?" Li Feng's expression was not as nervous as before, thinking about the ins and outs of this matter and his next step.

Zhao Shiju said: "Let's act according to the original plan, but recently we must be in the spirit of twelve points, we must be careful in spirit, and we can let go of any trouble." ”

"Yes, General, I see!"

"Okay, let's go first, reduce unnecessary contact as much as possible these days......" Zhao Shiju suddenly regretted a little, and said that he should not come to Yuhang County rashly.

"Do you want the general and his wife to leave secretly?" Li Feng also thought of this, Zhao Shiju's identity is sensitive, and now the situation is special, and a little carelessness may cause trouble.

Zhao Shiju shook his head and said: "No, we are coming in the light, just leave normally, otherwise it will be easier to arouse the suspicion of others." There is a relationship between dependents, and it is difficult for others to say anything. ”

"Okay, general, be careful!"

At noon, Shenwu General Zhao Shiju left Yuhang County with his wife. They seem to be walking very casually, but there is still a faint sense of solemnity, which is difficult to completely hide.

At the entrance of an alley nearby, Su An clearly saw this scene and couldn't help but be startled, and then quietly left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Mu Sihong's men are injured?" Su An brought back an important piece of news, and Lin Zhao hurriedly asked.

Su An replied: "Yes, she has been following these people these days, and she has never been discovered, so she doesn't want to say that something has gone wrong today." ”

"Do you know who they are and what they're doing?"

Su An shook his head and said: "This woman seems to have noticed that someone is following her, and she has been very careful recently, I don't dare to follow too closely, and I can't investigate." ”

"And where is she now? Can you come to the rescue? ”

"Nope! Although she was injured, she escaped on her own! Su An said: "I saw that she was safe and sound, so I secretly followed those people, and the hard work paid off, and some discoveries were made." ”

"Oh?" Lin Zhao was also a little excited.

Su An said: "I found out that those people then went to a separate courtyard, and then they had contact with the Yuhang County Ya!" ”

"Yuhang County Ya?" Lin Zhao felt that things were getting more and more interesting.

Su An said again: "Childe, do you know who I saw coming out of the county office?" ”

"Who?"

"Zhao Shiju!"

"What is he going to do there?" Lin Zhao was also taken aback, and immediately asked.

Su An said: "I inquired, and it was said that Zhao Shiju's wife was from Jingdong Road, and she was a fellow villager with Li Feng's wife in Yuhang County, and she had some contacts. But it's an extraordinary time, and he's a special person, so I'm paying attention. ”

"Maybe it's a lot of heart, but maybe it's useful, you're doing the right thing!" Lin Zhao said: "It seems that the water in Yuhang County is also very deep!" ”

"I don't know what those people do? And what is Mu Sihong's identity and what does she want to do? Su An said: "Presumably Mu Sihong's subordinates will know more!" ”

"Not bad!" Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "The matter has come to this, it's time to open the skylight and say something!" ”
