Ten mile pavilion in the west of Suizhou City, an ordinary grass pavilion,

On the east side of the pavilion stood seven strong men, without blades, and there were also seven big men on the west side, and there were no blades, and there were three people sitting in the grass pavilion, Wu Cao in the west, Lian Yong in the east, and sitting in the south was a scribe with a sword eyebrow and a beard, this person's surname was Bo Zhongyan, and at this moment he was narrating to Lian Yong the process of Meng Bochang's murder:

“…… Zhang Bozhong and Fang Litian instigated a mutiny in the garrison, expelled Wenlan, and coerced General Wu as a puppet, intending to occupy Suizhou, Meng Dashuai came to take Suizhou as agreed, Fang Litian wanted to hand over Suizhou to Meng Dashuai according to the agreement, but Zhang Bozhong refused, he wanted to be the lord of Suizhou, even Dashuai must have heard of the name of Fengzhou Inner Temple, the leader of the Inner Temple is Zhu Qi, Zhang Bozhong is the same knowledge, since the date of its establishment, the internal fighting is very powerful, Zhu Qi is very dissatisfied with Zhang Bozhong everywhere, he has long had the intention to rectify him, plus Zhang Bozhong and Guan Suo have always been at odds, Yang Hao had a headache and wanted to recommend him as the envoy of the Tiande army, but the Tiande army was controlled by Park Eunjun and Qu Qingquan, so Zhang Bozhong was allowed to intervene, so Zhang Bozhong moved the idea of occupying Suizhou. ”

Speaking of this, Bo Zhongyan paused, straightened his beard with his hands, and continued:

"Yang Hao is following Meng Dashuai to get full-fledged, he is respectful and afraid of Meng Dashuai, but this person is very ambitious, in order to have the strength to unify the states and counties in the north, he did not hesitate to go to war with the wolf army, snatching the oolong horse, he knew that as long as Meng Dashuai was there, his ambition would not succeed, so he took the risk and killed his benefactor, now Meng Dashuai unfortunately died, and there is still a town in the north to live in him, although he withdrew from Suizhou, but sent troops to loot Xia, You, Yinzhou three states, and now he is stationed in the small Chang'an eye, Even the marshal should join hands with General Wan to form an alliance for self-preservation. ”

Lian Yong bowed his head and was silent when he heard this, Bo Zhongyan completely planted Meng Bochang's death on Yang Hao's head, he had a strange feeling in his heart, he had followed Meng Bochang for many years, and he had seen Yang Hao many times, and he didn't notice any contradiction between the two, but Lian Hao was ambushed, and Wang Yun'er's mother and son were taken to Feng'an, but he changed his opinion, these days he heard a lot of rumors, saying that before Wang Yun'er married Meng Bochang, Wang Rentong had intended to marry her to Yang Hao, and the two originally had a personal relationship.

Meng Bochang's death this time, Yang Hao sent someone to take her to Feng'an to live, it is also quite puzzling, Meng Bochang's mother died of illness two months ago, Wang Yun'er is a weak woman with a young son has nowhere to go, it stands to reason that she should return to Yongfeng Wang Rentong, Wang Rentong operates Meishan Mine in Yongfeng, rich on the first side, how can it be said that she can't support her mother and son, her parents and brothers are there, but she was taken to Feng'an to live, what is the purpose of Yang Hao's move, doesn't this mean that Yang Hao is the real murderer behind the scenes,

Wu Cao saw that he couldn't make up his mind for a long time, so he sneered: "A despicable villain who covets the beauty of his brother and sister-in-law, even the handsome man still wants to excuse him." ”

This sentence is poking at Lian Yong's sore spot, Meng Bochang treats himself like a brother, Wang Yuner is his sister-in-law, his brother was killed, and his sister-in-law was captured by the enemy, how can he swallow this breath as a brother,

Lian Yong got up, pulled out his knife and cut the stone table, and swore: "If you can't capture Yang Hao alive to avenge the handsome, Lian Yong will die without a place to be buried." Bo Zhongyan praised: "Heroic." ”

Holding the hands of the two, he said: "The two of them worked together to keep the eighteen counties of the four prefectures of Xiasui, not only to repay the grace, but also for their own bright future. ”

At the moment, Wu Cao and Lian Yong reached a secret agreement, and after Wu Cao served Lian Yong as Xia Suiliu, Lian Yong asked the imperial court to appoint Wu Cao as the assassin of Suizhou, and the two families concluded an alliance to protect the army.

……

Yang Hao waited for three days, and finally waited for Li Yan's envoy Wang Chun, Wang Chun complained as soon as they met: "You have shown a big face this time, and the three-year-old children in Chang'an City also know your name as Yang Thorn History." ”

The Suizhou Incident caused controversy between the forces of the DPRK and China was originally expected by Yang Hao, and because of this, soon after the Suizhou Incident, he reported the Suizhou Incident to Li Yan in detail.

Yang Hao said: "Seeking Hedongyuan is also a matter for the general manager's permission, and I can't be considered disobedient if I do this, at this level, you have to help me explain it clearly." ”

Wang Chun smiled bitterly: "Your Highness is naturally easy to say, sending me here is not just to wipe your ass, it's just ...... Before leaving, His Majesty suddenly remembered the benefits of Meng Dashuai and personally inquired about the matter...... The errand of the rat bellows is gassed at both ends. ”

Yang Hao got up and took out a rosewood box and put it on the table, and said: "I have written the Suizhou incident clearly, please look at it with Father-in-law Wang, if it is inappropriate, please advise, Yang Hao swears to the sky, never dare to forget the grace of His Royal Highness, what is the sin Yang Hao will bear with all his might, and will never affect the chief manager." ”

Wang Chun's soft fat hand picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, when the tea bowl was placed, his hand touched the sandalwood box, he secretly pushed it, the wooden box was very heavy, and he had a number in his heart, so he frowned and groaned for a while, and made up his mind: "I won't say more, I also believe that you are acting with a loyal heart, let alone the kind of ruthless and unrighteous villain, however, since this matter has been targeted, I don't dare to make any guarantee to you, in short, you and I will do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Sending Wang Chun away, Yang Hao was quite unhappy for a while, and the sandalwood box he gave to Wang Chun contained pearls and jade worth 10,000 taels of silver, but in exchange for this sentence that is not light or heavy, the water in Chang'an is too deep, and the officialdom in Chang'an is too dark, unless you don't deal with the officialdom of Chang'an, no matter how powerful you are outside, you will only be slaughtered when you enter Chang'an.

What is even more frightening is this kind of situation of being blackened, it is really more frustrating than being slaughtered, Yang Hao feels that it is really necessary to arrange a competent person in Chang'an, just like in Wanduan of the Uighurs, to act as his own eyes and ears and agent, Zhang Cheng is a good choice, but unfortunately he knows too little about the affairs of Fengzhou, and he is entangled with the ghost gang, the ghost gang has now emerged in Chang'an City, and the momentum of development is very good, but in Yang Hao's chessboard, the ghost gang must keep a considerable distance from himself, He should be a loyal collaborator, not his own subordinate, and even the status of a friend cannot be given to him,

Who else can take on this important task besides Zhang Cheng, Zhang Ren, this person is better than everyone else in terms of collecting intelligence and listening to news, but his shortcomings are also obvious, he can do a good job alone, but he can't stand alone, and Zhang Yannian's death is a hidden worry after all,

Yang Hao wanted to use Fang Litian for a while, but then he rejected it, Fang Litian's talent can be in charge of an ordinary state capital like Suizhou, and he can even go to Taiyuan and Luoyang to take charge alone, but Chang'an can't, the water in Chang'an is too deep, he can't cope with it,

After thinking about it, Yang Hao finally made up his mind: to send Zhang Bozhong to Chang'an, this is a very difficult decision, in terms of loyalty, qualifications, and ability, Zhang Bozhong is the right person to go to Chang'an, but Neisifang also needs him very much, transfer him away, Neisifang is equivalent to collapsing half of the sky, Zhu Qi is good at doing security work, and other conveniences are neither interested nor incompetent,

Yang Hao found Zhang Bozhong and asked, "I want you to be the governor of the Tiande Army stationed in Shangdu, what do you think?" Although the Tiande Army has been reduced from the Tao to the army, but the Jinju Academy has been retained, the prefect Qin Bang, Chengying Lang Zhang Cheng are still performing their duties, Zhang Bozhong said: "The prefect of the Jinju Academy is the core position, the adults trust, Zhang Bozhong is grateful." ”

Yang Hao smiled bitterly: "But I don't want you to go, what do you say." ”

Zhang Bozhong said: "Why don't you invite Hedong celebrity Qu to take up this position, with his prestige, he will have something to do in Chang'an, and in addition, Mu Lanqing can be adjusted as the Cheng Lang, and then a group of capable talents from the intelligence room and the inner temple will be transferred to Chang'an together." ”

Yang Hao groaned: "Mu Lanqing is capable, but his experience is not too shallow. ”

Zhang Bozhong said with a smile: "In a year or two, he will naturally not be able to bear the heavy responsibility, but after three years, he will become the right-hand man of the adult, and at that time, the adult will really need to rely on Chang'an." ”

……

Yingwang Mansion, Mingle Hall,

Although the cold wind outside the door was pressing, but the hall was still warm like spring, Li Yan leaned on the embroidery pier, carefully looked at what Yang Hao wrote about the Suizhou incident, Yang Hao wrote twenty pages, as far as he knew every detail was written,

On the desk in front of Li Yan was a rosewood box, the lid of the box was open, and inside were neatly stacked gold bars and eight pearls the size of chickens, Wang Chun knelt on the thick carpet, it had been half an hour, Li Yan's eyes had never left the twenty pages, he had read what Yang Hao had written, the paper was full of vernacular, but the meaning was not difficult to understand, he understood why Li Yan had to look at it for so long, what was he thinking,

"Smack." Li Yan threw the twenty pages on the table, Wang Chun trembled slightly,

Li Yan closed his eyes and recuperated, then spat out and asked Wang Chun: "Are these things he wrote true?" ”

"The slave and maid have carefully investigated, and there is nothing vain."

"Hmph." Li Yan sneered and pointed to the rosewood box on the case: "It's because of this that you spoke for him." ”

Wang Chun kowtowed and said: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and the maid are not greedy for his money." ”

Li Yan took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "It's none of your business." ”

Wang Chun crawled back, never daring to raise his head,

"Come back."

Wang Chun hurriedly climbed back, but he still didn't dare to raise his head.

"What he gave you, you take."

Wang Chun said in fear: "The slave doesn't dare. ”

"Hmm." Li Yan snorted softly, Wang Chun didn't say a word, bowed his waist and picked up the rosewood box, and said softly: "Thank Your Highness for the reward." "Holding the wooden box in his hand, he walked back on his knees,

Wang Fu'er walked out from behind the brocade curtain, gently kneading Li Yan's shoulder, and said quietly: "It's quite generous to make a move." Li Yan took Wang Fu'er's hand and said with a smile: "If he knew these things and let me know, maybe he wouldn't be so generous." ”

Wang Fu'er sneered: "You underestimate him too much, he gave these things to Wang Chun, and they are also for you to see." ”

Li Yan sighed slightly and said, "I believe that Meng Bochang's death has nothing to do with him, let him go with the rest." ”
