In the middle of the night, Xu Shiyun quietly walked into the mansion of Huang Junhan, the Dongjun Mansion Fa Cao.

Huang Junhan is a native of Yanjin, Hanoi, and the family of the official eunuch. Yanjin is also an important mouth on the river, more than 200 miles upstream of Baimajin. The Huang family in Hanoi is the same as the Zhai family in Dongjun, both belong to the Shandong aristocratic group, a third- or fourth-rate family, and it has also declined rapidly since the unification of China and Turkey, so in terms of family background and environment, Zhai Rang and Huang Junhan are basically the same. It's just that the Zhai family belongs to the Henan aristocracy, and the Huang family belongs to the Heluo aristocracy, and they have their own regional interests, plus the big nobles they are attached to are different, and they are also very different in terms of political demands and economic interests, so the two can't go together at all, and they are strangers.

Xu Shichang knows a lot about this. He has a great friendship with Huang Junhan, and the relationship between Lihu Xu and Hanoi Huang is also very good, and the reason is actually very simple, Xu's industry is shipping, but all the nobles and bureaucrats who have interests in the waterway and Jinkou must make friends, otherwise they will not be able to survive. However, after all, the Xu family is a businessman, and the relationship and friendship between the Xu family and the family are based on the exchange of power and money. The noble aristocracy and the lowly merchant were always two classes of disparate status, and they would never cross paths in public. This is the system of rituals, the rules of the law, and whoever breaks it will be condemned and punished.

Therefore, whether Xu Shiyun is with the Dongjun Zhai clan or has a friendship with the Huang clan in Hanoi, he must "bow his head", although he will not grovel, but the minimum etiquette must be observed, such as in terms of salutation and behavior, he must abide by the etiquette of respect and humility, and he cannot transgress at will, otherwise he will not understand the etiquette, and he will be despicable and ignorant, so he will be despised by others, and he will not get the respect he deserves, let alone what he does to achieve what he wants.

Huang Junhan is in his thirties, handsome, athletic, calm temperament, introverted, and unhurried speech. knew why Xu Shiyun came, but he didn't mention Zhai Rang this person, and he didn't even give Xu Shiyun a chance to open his mouth. The two of them fought for a while, from the Grand Canal to the great flood, from the prosperity of Jiangzuo to the desolation of the western soil, and from the western expedition to Tuguhun to the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, and finally to the grievances of the Guanlong people and the Shandong people.

The Guanlong people unified the Middle Earth, and the Guanlong nobles naturally enjoyed the fruits of unification, but most of the Guanlong nobles rose with martial arts, and the five major families of Shandong with a history of thousands of years can not be compared at all, and the Shandong aristocratic group with the five great families of the five great families with the unification of Middle Earth, with the return of the children of Guanlong and Jiangzuo, its strength has been unprecedentedly strengthened, which directly affects the direction of the Middle Earth politics, and Yan zhòng threatens the interests of the Guanlong aristocratic group, As a result, the struggle between the two aristocratic groups intensified, and the political storms came one after another.

With Xu Shiyun's age and experience, he still does not have a deep understanding of the politics of Middle-earth, but Huang Junhan is different, he has been in the office for many years, depressed, and has no talent and ambition, so he must look at the politics of Middle-earth from the standpoint of Shandong people, and naturally hate the Guanlong people for holding power, and hate the Guanlong people for attacking and curbing the Shandong people from all aspects.

Zhai Rang is a native of Shandong, and the superintendent of arresting Zhai Rang is a native of Guanlong, so Zhai Rang's case actually originated from the fierce game between the two aristocratic groups of Shandong and Guanlong, which existed in the center, the central government and the army, as well as in the locality. Huang Junhan had no reason to save Zhai Rang, but once the Zhai Rang case escalated to the struggle between the two aristocratic groups of Shandong and Guanlong, then Huang Junhan not only had a reason to save Zhai Rang, but also used this case to help the county guard fight back against those Guanlong people who conspired to "attack" him.

Xu Shichang saw Huang Junhan angrily scolding the superintendent from the Eastern Capital, and knew that the time had come, so he patiently waited for Huang Junhan to finish scolding, and then asked cautiously, "Master Cao, Zhai Fasi was plotted and imprisoned, I wonder if I can see him?" ”

Huang Junhan glanced at him meaningfully and shook his head, "It's not that you can't help, it's that you can't get in at all." ”

"Master Cao, I just want to see Zhai Fasi." Xu Shiyun bowed down and pleaded, "I heard that Yushi sentenced him to death and is about to be executed, and time is running out." ”

Huang Junhan smiled and shook his head, "Where did the imperial history get the power to sentence people to death?" Don't hearsay, Zhai Fasi has no worries about his life now, and the envoy is thinking of a way, but ......" Huang Junhan slowly frowned, "Once the imperial history impeaches the envoy, the eastern capital will exert downward pressure, and the envoy may not be able to stop it." ”

Xu Shiyun hesitated for a moment and said, "At that time, the implication will be widespread, and I am afraid that Jun himself will be in danger." ”

Huang Junhan did not speak, and pondered deeply.

The superintendent from the Eastern Capital took down Zhai Rang when he arrived in Dongjun, and in fact, he hit the envoy in the face, and the target was the envoy, which made Jun know, but what made him hesitate was that he didn't know what the real purpose of the Eastern Capital was, was to hit him directly? Or hit the backers behind him? If you hit him directly and kill Zhai Rang, this matter will be over, but if it is to hit the backer behind him, then Dong needs not only Zhai Rang's head, but also his career. Thinking about it, there is no point in being beaten passively, you must counterattack, counterattack decisively, and replace defense with offense, so that you can quickly find out the opponent's intentions.

How to fight back? Of course, the Taishou of a county will not personally go into battle with a sword, he has recruited many subordinates and fed many protégés, and at the critical moment, of course, it is the turn of these people to charge into battle. He found Huang Junhan and asked Huang Junhan to temporarily take charge of Fa Cao's affairs, to put it bluntly, you have handled this matter well, and if I am satisfied, I will be promoted to your official.

Huang Junhan was also racking his brains to find a way, and he had also hit Xu Shiyun's idea, but he never found a satisfactory plan. Today, Xu Shiyun came to the door in person and handed over all the words, but he was still at a loss. Zhai Rang must be saved, but how to save it? How can I save myself to "take it out"? If Zhai Rang escapes, the responsibility will be borne by himself, which is equivalent to giving the Eastern Capital a handful of slaughter envoys, wouldn't that be the stupidest thing in the world?

Xu Shiyun saw that Huang Junhan was silent for a long time, and his heart gradually became irritable, and he couldn't help but say something tentatively, "There is a certain story, maybe it can solve Lord Cao's worries?" ”

Huang Junhan glanced up at him, and a smile slowly appeared on his solemn face, "If you have nothing to do, why don't you tell me about it?" ”

The next morning, Huang Junhan arrived at the White Horse Prison, but he did not come because of Zhai Rang, but on the orders of Taishou, and assisted the superintendent from the Eastern Capital to take in and interrogate the new prisoners.

There were more than a dozen new prisoners, shackled and sitting in a threshold car, and one of the white prisoners was particularly conspicuous in the possession of a threshold car. Ordered to escort were two teams of guards from the Eagle Yang Mansion, a full hundred fully armed elite soldiers, who surrounded the three scillage cars and guarded them extremely tightly. Of course, the whole city knew about it, and soon everyone in White Horse City knew that the prisoner who was robbed and killed by thieves at Xu's Wharf yesterday was imprisoned in White Horse Prison.

Where did this group of prisoners come from? And where to go? Why was he robbed and killed in Baimajin? Why did you stay in White Horse City after a night? These questions plagued the people in White Horse City, and they also troubled Huang Junhan.

Huang Junhan was inferior and unqualified to know the secrets, but Taishou took the initiative to give him a chance to spy on the secrets. It is very reasonable to let a Fa Cao engage in the work of cooperating with the supervision of the imperial history, but how to "cooperate", whether it is to obey his words or monitor and elbow, it is up to Huang Junhan to understand.

Huang Junhan "understood" it very well, and he rushed to the White Horse Prison before the county lieutenant and the superintendent of the imperial history, and "cooperated" with the prison officials to direct the jailers to vacate three cells, one of which was adjacent to the cell where Zhai Rang was imprisoned.

The prison was run by the county lieutenant in charge of law and order, and there was no subordinate relationship with the law and law in charge of justice, but both sides dealt with the prisoners and worked closely together, and they became familiar with each other over time. Huang Junhan was Fa Cao's adjutant chief, and he was also a "official" with status in Dongjun, and the prison officials and jailers were of course respectful to him, and did not dare to offend him. The so-called "cooperation" at work, who cooperates with whom, is unknown.

The new prisoners were put into prison, while the guards who had been escorting the prisoners remained outside the prison, just a wall away from the prisoners. The two teams of guards from the Eagle Yang Mansion did not leave, one team stayed inside the prison, and the other team patrolled outside the prison, which can be described as heavily guarded.

The county lieutenant and the superintendent arrived together, walked around the prison, and said a few words of encouragement to the guards and jailers, and then Shi Shiran left.

Huang Junhan cautiously accompanied the attendants, but he couldn't leave with them. The superintendent said that this group of prisoners is very important and cannot be missed, and although the Yingyang Mansion has given support, the county government must also strengthen the security of the prison. The county lieutenant didn't think twice, and pointed at Huang Junhan with his hand, "Since this is the case, then it's hard for Lord Huang Cao." "Huang Junhan didn't dare to disobey, although the county lieutenant was not responsible for Fa Cao, but the official rank was there, and the county lieutenant was a senior official, how could he be openly disobedient?

But the prison superintendent was pleased. The new prisoner is extraordinary, the inspector from the Eastern Capital not only attaches great importance to it, but also "moves" two teams of guards from the Yingyang Mansion to focus on guarding, if something goes wrong in the middle, the first unlucky one is him, the prison prisoner. Now it's okay, with Shangguan helping him do half of the work and share half of the responsibility, he is happy to come down from the sky.

"Lord Huang Cao has been working hard for a long time and is tired, why don't you go out and eat some wine together to relieve fatigue?" The prison prison was warmly invited.

Huang Junhan smiled, "It's inconvenient to stay away at this time, so let's go outside and ask for some wine and food, and drink freely in the prison with my brothers." ”

The prison guard smiled at Huang Junhan and said, "So, Huang Cao is mainly the east?" ”

"Good!" Huang Junhan agreed.
