The turmoil of the destruction of the wind and rain building has not yet dissipated, and the Taishou Zheng of Pingjiang Mansion was imprisoned, which shocked everyone again, and it has not ended, Jiangnan Wei and the forbidden army are wantonly arresting people, and the prison is overcrowded for a while, and everyone is in danger and panic, but as the initiator of this incident, Chu Haoyu is a closed guest, and enjoys the joy of family with his beloved wife and daughter.

The winter days are short, and it was already dark when Chu Haoyu returned to the palace with his beloved daughter Chu Ruotong and Zhou Qingyou, and then stepped out of the carriage and saw Sun Hou standing on the side, Chu Ruotong was immediately happy, and chuckled: "Brother Sun, you are back." ”

Looking at Chu Ruotong, Sun Hou showed a rare smile on his face, bowed down and said, "The little one has seen the county lord and the son." As he spoke, Sun Hou bowed down again and saluted Chu Haoyu, who was getting out of the carriage.

After breaking through Qi'an City, Chu Haoyu was worried about the change of the Qian family and rushed to Huizhou non-stop, leaving Sun Hou in Qi'an to investigate the clues of the Heavenly Thorn Traitor. Chong Sun Hou nodded and said hello, Chu Haoyu put his eyes on Chu Ruotong, and said with a smile: "Tong'er, my mother is not feeling well, you take care of my mother for my father." Didn't you buy some pastries for your mother, and send them? ”

Chu Ruotong knew that his father and Sun Hou had something to say, so he smiled and said, "That's good, Dad, you're busy." After finishing speaking, Chu Ruotong jumped and ran to the backyard, but suddenly stopped, turned his head and shouted at Chu Haoyu: "Daddy, don't be too late, your body is important." Without waiting for Chu Haoyu to answer, Chu Ruotong took Zhou Qingyou's little hand and left.

Looking at Chu Ruotong's little adult appearance, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but smile, but quickly put away all his emotions, opened his mouth and said, "Go to the study." ”

Following Chu Haoyu into the study, Sun Hou served Chu Haoyu a cup of tea before opening his mouth and said: "Qi Yu Gongzi, the little incompetent, failed to find out the whereabouts of the three rabbits Xie Donglin, but the five hundred black armor and black horse spirit riders, after the change of Qi'an, divided into several shares and left to Qujian Gorge, fortunately, the son saw through their conspiracy and destroyed them. ”

After a slight pause at this, Sun Hou continued: "According to the news that Xiao has inquired about these days, there are two reasons why the Heavenly Thorn rebel chose Qi'an to launch a mutiny. First of all, Taishou Dong Dachen is insatiable, he dares to accept any silver, buys and sells * officials, any official position is clearly marked, and Qi'an County is rampant with corrupt officials; Favoritism and fraud, as long as he gives money, he dares to meddle in no matter how big the case is, and as for the various funds allocated by the imperial court, most of them are filled by him, which makes Qi'an County full of public grievances and eventually leads to a civil uprising. Second, it is related to the Suo Po Sect, which has a large number of believers in Qi'an County, and the founding ancestor Magu is almost the existence of a hundred Buddhas, which makes the Miao Miao Fairy also have a huge reputation. Therefore, when Dong Dachen sent troops to quell the rebellion, Xie Donglin, the third rabbit, used the influence of Suo Pojiao to pull up hundreds of young people to block the Qi'an army, and finally pulled up a team of thousands of people to capture Qi'an Mansion and erect a counter-flag. According to his investigation, the death of Zhang Anliang, the commander of Muar County, had a lot to do with Qu Qingwei, who was one of the three major Dharma kings of the Suo Po Sect. ”

The Qi'an civil rebellion has been quelled, Chu Haoyu's problem is not on this, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is the relationship between Dong Dachen and Yang Gongling, the governor of Huainan, and even dare to suppress such a major event as the civil rebellion?" Yang Gongling, as a feudal official, has a high position and power, and he can't be unaware of the consequences. ”

This is another reason why Sun Hou stayed in Qi'an, he has long been investigated, and he replied without hesitation: "Qiyu Gongzi, Huainan Province officialdom knows that Dong Dachen is insatiable, and he is not loved by Yang Gongling, but Dong Dachen and Sun Bing, the Zhongshu waiter, are in-laws, and all the officials are in awe of him, but as far as I heard from a small one, Yang Dadu Governor was able to join forces with Sun Shilang to suppress the Qi'an Mintuo, and it also has a great relationship with the Zheng family in Jiangdu, Dong Dachen's daughter married Zheng Guanghui, the eldest son of the Zheng family, as a concubine. ”

After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu muttered to himself: "Zheng family? ”

Seeing that Chu Haoyu was deep in thought, Sun Hou stopped speaking and stood solemnly on one side waiting for Chu Haoyu's orders. After being silent for a long time, Chu Haoyu seemed to have forgotten the Zheng family, and said: "Dong Dachen is greedy and shameless, or the Heavenly Thorn rebel is a little troublesome, Qi Anmin is always my Tianwei's negligence, and immediately summoned the capital and ordered Su Jianwen to enter Huainan." ”

Su Jianwen, the deacon of Eagle Guard, can be regarded as the descendant of Chu Haoyu cultivated over the years, and Chu Haoyu's purpose of transferring him to Huainan is already very clear, to replace Wan Nanshan in charge of Huainan's dark rudder. Sun Hou heard what Chu Haoyu meant, bowed down and bowed, "The little one has an order." ”

Standing up, Chu Haoyu said again: "Summons Shen Dudu and Lord Wang, this king will go to Jiangdu in two days." ”

Wang Jiangshuo has been busy with his feet not touching the ground these days, but instead of having no complaints, he is smiling from ear to ear, especially when he sees those enemy parties who have humiliated him, and now they are kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy, Wang Jiangshuo is full of pride and excitement, not only busy during the day, but also looking for a maid to vent the excitement in his heart at night.

When everything was calm, Wang Jiangshuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know if he was enjoying the beauty in his arms, or the benefits brought by power, but at this moment, a voice woke him up. "Master Qiqi, the Seventh Lord has just sent the news."

This is the voice of Wang Zhong, Wang Jiangshuo's loyal servant, and when he heard the three words of the Seven Princes, Wang Jiangshuo immediately sobered up, and the reason why he was able to have today's pride was because of the Big Buddha of the Seven Princes standing behind him. Therefore, Wang Jiangshuo summoned Wang Zhong in without getting dressed, and opened his mouth to ask: "What is the important matter for the prince to send the news so late?" ”

Wang Zhong replied, but glanced at the maid who was still lying beside Wang Jiangshuo. Wang Jiangshuo understood what the old servant meant, and said directly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Seeing this, Wang Zhong immediately said: "Back to the master, there is news from the palace that the seventh prince will leave Pingjiang Mansion and go to Jiangdu two days later. ”

Hearing that the Seventh Prince, Chu Haoyu, was leaving, Wang Jiangshuo's face changed greatly, and he blurted out, "What? ”

At this moment, Wang Zhong continued: "Master, I heard that the little servant Sun Hou, who has been following the side of the Seventh Prince, returned from Qi'an today and spent a long time in the study with the Seventh Prince, and then there was news that the Seventh Prince would go to Jiangdu, and someone in the palace had already begun to pack his luggage. ”

"Qi'an, Jiangdu?" In his own voice, Wang Jiangshuo seemed to think of something, his expression calmed down, and he said slowly: "In this way, there is a reason for it, but it is just ......" In the elongated voice, Wang Jiangshuo showed a wry smile on his face, and said: "The Seventh Prince's departure, I'm afraid that this official will be struggling step by step." ”

After a moment of silence, Wang Jiangshuo suddenly thought of something, and two rays of light shot out of his eyes, and shouted: "No, there are some things that must be decided by the Seventh Prince, Pingjiang Prison." At the end of the words, Wang Jiangshuo had already stood up and strode out.

At the same time that Wang Jiangshuo got the news, Shen Lan also learned that the Seventh Prince, Chu Haoyu, was about to leave Pingjiang Mansion, so he was silent for a moment and smiled to himself, and said, "The Seventh Prince, this is interesting." ”

Standing behind Shen Lan was the confidant Meng Yifan, Meng Yifan seemed to have guessed Chu Haoyu's intentions, and said slowly: "In the past two days, Lord Wang has been busy. ”

Shen Lan nodded lightly, and said, "Originally, the governor of Pontus couldn't understand the meaning of the Seventh Prince, but now, he understands it a little. ”

Meng Yifan sighed softly, opened his mouth and asked, "Dudu, what do you say?" ”

Staring at the boundless dark night outside the window, Shen Lan said slowly: "After Zheng Yu confessed, the Seventh Prince ordered Wang Jiangshuo to arrest people according to the account books, this move is of course to clear the local factions in Jiangnan, so that the imperial court can control Jiangnan Dao, but the Holy Lord also needs to rely on the Jiangnan clan vigorously, and there must be a degree to rectify the rule of Jiangnan officials. Hmph, Zheng Wei can be willing to admit his guilt, but he just wants to resist all the guilt, and I hope it will end here. ”

Meng Yifan followed Shen Lan into Jiangnan for ten years, and naturally knew who was standing behind Zheng Yu, so he blurted out: "The Seventh Prince is unwilling to let that person go?" ”

Shen Lan shook his head lightly and said, "According to the Governor of Ben's guess, the Seventh Prince is also hesitating. That person has already been to the Shi, and has a very close relationship with the Jiangnan family, although the seventh prince and the Jiangnan family have reached an agreement, but they are not willing to force them too tightly, this time the seventh prince deliberately revealed the news, that is, to give Wang Jiangshuo a whip, but also to give that person a warning, now it depends on which of the two is more skilled. At the end of the words, Shen Lan's face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Meng Yifan saw Shen Lan's expression and chuckled, "What does the Metropolitan Governor think?" At the end of the words, Meng Yifan stared at Shen Lan tightly, as if he wanted to see his thoughts, you must know that Shen Lan has been in charge of Jiangnan Province for ten years, and what he controls can definitely determine the victory or loss of the two, then, the Seventh Prince's move is afraid that Shen Lan will also be calculated, and he wants to see Shen Lan's choice.

Shen Lan Dacai, how could he not see through Chu Haoyu's meaning, and also knew that Meng Yifan was ridiculing himself, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "According to the guess of the Governor of Ben, the Seventh Prince's trip to Pingjiang this time is related to the Zheng family. Seeing that Meng Yifan was stunned, Shen Lan continued: "Yang Dudu of Huainan Province seems to be arrogant and domineering, but in fact he is also a careful person, the reason why he dares to conspire with Lord Sun of Zhongshu Lang Lang to suppress such a major event as the Qi'an Mutiny, must have reached an agreement with the local faction in Huainan, and it is even of great benefit to Yang Gongling, otherwise how dare he deceive the saint?" I heard that Dong Dachen and the Zheng family are in-laws, and I am afraid that this matter is the result of the Zheng family's maneuvering. Therefore, the Seventh Prince's trip to Huai'an must be related to the Zheng family, a bad ......"

Although Shen Lan didn't say it, how could Meng Yifan not guess that the Seventh Prince was going to Jiangdu, one was not good, he was afraid that the Zheng family would be wiped out, and at this moment, Meng Yifan had already guessed Shen Lan's thoughts. After a pause, Shen Lan continued: "In order to appease the Jiangnan clan, the Seventh Prince should let that person go, and besides, the governor of Bendu is going to leave Jiangnan, no matter who takes over Jiangnan Dao, he must rely on the Jiangnan clan and the local officials in Jiangnan. ”
