A fast horse galloped towards the king's party, and immediately a strong man in his forties, when he was about to reach the front of everyone, Zhi Kejun shouted: "Who is coming in front?" The strong man clenched his fists and asked, "Is this the team of the King of Zhennan escorting the prince to Dali?" ”

Zhi Kejun looked him up and down a few times, and felt that this person was a little familiar: "Exactly, please get out of the way." The strong man jumped off his horse www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion: "This general, who is the commander of the guard of the minister of Dali, is troublesome, and there is an urgent matter to see the minister of Gao and the king of Zhennan." Zhi Kejun suddenly remembered that when Wang Fang came to Yongzhou, he held a banquet in the palace, and it was this person who came to Gao Zhisheng that day.

When Wang Bei and the others saw that the team in front of them had stopped, they were about to send someone to ask the reason, when a soldier ran over and told him what had happened in front of the team. Wang looked at Napo County, not far ahead: "Let him come!" The soldier took the command to go back, and in a moment brought the strong man before the king.

"Lord Wang, this is my guard commander Ying Darong." Gao Zhisheng saw that the person who came was busy introducing to the king. Wang Pan had already heard that Gao Zhisheng had mentioned this person, and after Ying Darong saluted the two, Wang Pan asked: "General Ying has worked hard all the way, why don't you wait in the city?" ”

Ying Darong replied: "I know that the prince and the prime minister are going to pass through this place, so I specially came to report that Yang Yizhen's army is hiding here. I have been visiting for a long time, and as far as I know, if this traitor gathers here, there will be three or four thousand troops, and there are many lairs of bandits in Guirong Mountain, Baiyun Mountain, Tongtianling, and other places. Moreover, Yang Yizhen's whereabouts are very strange, and there is no way to judge the law of his entry and exit. ”

Zhao Ji's palms were sweating, thinking that this Yang Yizhen had hidden so many people here, this was the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and he looked at the king nervously. Wang didn't reply, but he seemed to see Zhao Ji's thoughts, and he smiled slightly: "There is General Lao Ying, but in my opinion, Yang Yizhen will not be unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty for a while." It's better for us to wait and see what happens, it's not too early, let's go to the city! ”

Listening to the king's instructions, a soldier took Ying Darong's horse, and Ying Darong turned over and followed the team next to the king on the road.

As they went west, they became more and more desolate everywhere they went. The last time I was in Jingxi, the city wall of Jingxi County was dilapidated, and there were not a few decent houses in the city. The prefect's yamen looks like a house, and it is estimated that Wang Bi and others have been specially retouched, even so, there are not a few whole bricks in the courtyard, and even the official case in the prefect's lobby is mottled and dilapidated. Wang Fang thought in his heart that Napo County might not be in a dilapidated state. It's not easy to think about these local officials, ten years of cold windows, bad official luck, like the county magistrate in Jingxi who worked hard until he was forty or fifty years old to survive such a sesame official, but he was sent to such a place.

Zhao Ji urged the horse faster, followed Wang and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, since Yang Yizhen has such a strong strength, but I don't see him unfavorable to Yongzhou, I don't know what he means?" Could he have a bigger conspiracy, you say? His words interrupted the king's thoughts: "Oh! Isn't that easy? Yang Yizhen is here to preserve his strength, he still has a deep foundation in Dali, Yongzhou was a chicken rib for the Great Song Dynasty before, do you know the chicken ribs? Wang Bian deliberately accentuated his tone, emphasizing the past. After all, it's different now, because now I'm going to make earth-shaking changes in Yongzhou.

Zhao Ji said disdainfully: "This still needs to be asked, it's a pity to abandon it and leave it useless!" ”

"Yes, if Yang Yizhen takes the chicken ribs, he will be flanked left and right as he said, and you can see it, if this place is not planned well for a few years, it will be difficult to have a look."

"Oh!" Zhao Ji sighed, and felt a little uncomfortable, after all, this is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it has become a chicken rib that even thieves are too lazy to rob; What made him even more uncomfortable was that he thought that his father would sincerely give Wang Pan a chance, but let him take this hot potato, compared to those who have seen the local officials, Wang Pan is different from them in that Wang Pan came with money, and Wang Pan does have some power from some angles.

The team stopped again, this time they had come to the outside of Napo County, so that Wang was a little relieved that the county town of Napo was actually a towering city wall, the city gate tower "That Broken" two inscriptions are clearly visible, there are soldiers guarding the city, the county order of Napo outside the city gate, with the Li Zheng who is in charge of the township, and the tolerance Li Xu who handles the management of township affairs, are waiting outside the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least this is the last county at the junction of the Song Dynasty and Dali, and it still looks like a county somewhat. Napo County ordered Wei Lin to approach the county seat, settle down in a residence, and set up a banquet in the government office. At the banquet, polite words in officialdom are naturally indispensable.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang asked Wei County Order, "How long has Wei County Order been here?" ”

Wei Lin hurriedly got up and returned respectfully: "Xia Guan has been here for more than a year. ”

Wang nodded beside him, when he entered the county seat today, the situation in Napo County was somewhat unexpected by him, not only the city wall was repaired, but the situation in the city was also in order.

"Well, I think this city has been repaired well, presumably Wei Zhixian has also done a lot of things after he arrived, and I will definitely come again when I have the opportunity in the future, and discuss the matter of governing the county with Wei Zhixian."

What Wang said was not against his will, after all, this was the last county seat on the border of the Great Song Dynasty.

The county magistrate Wei Lin is about fifty years old, and the body of Fa Fu makes the official uniform of the county order on his body look tight, and he heard the king say this, just sat down and immediately got up, his action made everyone a little worried about the workmanship of the clothes, whether it would be stretched from the armpits at any time. I saw him smiling, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he hurriedly said: "To the prince, the prince's blessing, Wei has no ability." This place has been taken care of by General Nan, and I just do a little more. And fortunately, there are big households in the county, and some silver taels have been issued to sponsor the county, so that the two of them can see it today. ”

"Oh?" Wang Bi wondered in his heart, what kind of big family would take a fancy to such a frontier place. Even Zhao Ji shook his head strangely.

"Then what do you usually rely on to maintain this county? What about the livelihood of the people? Wang asked with concern.

As soon as Wang Bian asked, Wei Xian Ling had to owe again, which made Wang Bian feel very uncomfortable, especially Wei Lin's smiling face, which made Wang Bian think of some extremely flattering people, and he waved his hand: "Just sit down and talk back." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang, there is nothing else in our county, but there are many mountains and trees, and there are many herbs. Some Jiaozhi, Dali merchants often come and go here, and most of them will buy herbs. In the past, the people lived by picking herbs and cutting wood. However, in the past two years, large households have come to the county, sponsored some in the county, and recruited some people to dig stones in the mountains, and the people finally have no worries about their livelihoods. ”

Wang Fang thought in his heart, only mining will dig stones, mining is nothing more than iron and steel, and this person's financial resources are not something that ordinary big families can do. Seeing that Zhao Ji was looking at himself with a puzzled face on his face, Wang Bei's heart moved: If it is mining, it is mostly iron and copper, but according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, private individuals are not allowed to mine, and it is obvious that this Weizhi County does not understand the law. Looking at the appearance of Weizhi County, it doesn't look like a scholar, most of them are officials who spend money and donate.

In front of Gao Zhisheng, Wang Bian didn't ask any more questions, and saw that the county order called a courtesan to cheer up the banquet, although the level was far worse than Lin Xiuxiu in Yongzhou, let alone compared to the courtesan in the capital, but the process was also good.

During the banquet, a person who looked like a master walked up to Wei Lin, whispered a few words in his ear, Wei Lin's face was embarrassed, and the two muttered for a while, all of which were seen by Wang Bian, so that Wang Bian had to raise his vigilance.

When the banquet dispersed, everyone returned to the residence where the county order had settled behind the mansion, and Wang ordered Zhi Kejun and others to guard it carefully, I don't know why, he always felt that the situation in Napo County was a little weird. Wang walked out of the room and walked around the courtyard, Zhao Ji's room was already dark, and it seemed that the prince had rested after a long journey. After all, Zhao Ji has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he can't compare to the physical strength of Wang Fang and others. Walking through the courtyard where the guards were was was where Gao Zhisheng slept. Wang walked to the courtyard gate and saw that the light in Gao Zhisheng's room was still on, and the two figures were talking about something in the room.

Wang Bi just wanted to turn around, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, there seemed to be something on the roof of Gao Zhisheng's room. By the moonlight, it looked like a figure, hanging upside down on the eaves to look into the room.

"What a guts!" The king snorted, and the shadow on the roof disappeared with a swish, and Gao Zhisheng obviously heard movement in the room, and he blew out the candle first. When he touched the door and looked through the crack in the door, the king was standing in the moonlit courtyard, looking at the roof of his room.

Zhi Kejun and Zhang Ping followed when they heard the voice: "Lord Wang, what's the matter?!" ”

Hearing what the king said, Gao Zhisheng opened the door: "Brother Xian, I'm here, what's the matter?" Ying Darong followed behind Gao Zhisheng and flashed out.

"There was someone on the roof just now. Go that way! The king said, pointing with his hand in the direction where the figure had disappeared. I'll check it out! Zhang Ping said, and with light skills, he also went up to the wall on tiptoe, and ran in the direction of Wang Bei's finger, and Ying Darong also followed.

Everyone looked around the courtyard, Gao Zhisheng walked quickly to the ear room, pushed open the door and saw that Yan'er Huan'er had been pointed at by someone and fell in the room.

The king instructed Zhi Kejun: "Gather all the men and strengthen the vigilance." ”

Gao Zhisheng said to Wang Bian: "Brother Xian, just now I was talking to Ying Darong about Dali. That place seems to be troublesome, this must be Yang Yizhen's ghost. ”

The king snorted, remembering the look of the county order at the banquet, and turned to the guards behind him and said. "Someone, go and bring me the county order!"
