Today's court meeting finally broke up unhappily.

The courtiers also opened their eyes, first saw the "five do not kneel" that did not conform to the etiquette system, and then saw General Tong beating Gao Taiwei in the court, His Majesty the Emperor was angry and his nose was crooked, it seemed that he forgot to set up a banquet to entertain General Tong, and directly retired from the court.

In fact, Gao Taiwei was very wronged, and until after the dispersal of the dynasty, he didn't understand why the direction of the wind changed?

He really didn't know that Cai Jing and Tong Guan had already reached a deal in secret.

Tong Guan used the evidence that Wuda got from Ding Mao's mouth in exchange for Cai Jing's silence.

But Cai Jing did impeach Tong Guan before, and he also needed a scapegoat at this time, and it happened that Gao Yu jumped out stupidly, whether it was identity or status, he was definitely qualified for the role of scapegoat, so Cai Jing and Taishi Cai decisively threw Gao Taiwei out.

This is the dark court of the Northern Song Dynasty, they don't talk about etiquette, they only talk about interests.

In the Water Margin, Gao Taiwei, who played the heroes of Liangshan, was just a dispensable small role in the eyes of powerful old guys like Cai Jing and Tong Guan.

……

In the imperial study, Emperor Song Huizong was furious, and even his favorite "Ziyun Yan" was broken, and there was no one else in the room except Li Yan.

After venting, Song Huizong asked with a gloomy face: "Have you found out, why did Cai Jing and Tong Guan, the two old puppets, suddenly stop fighting?" ”

Since Li Yan was able to become the new favorite of Da Nei after Yang Jian was promoted to Taifu, he was naturally very favored by His Majesty the Emperor, he bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave used the hidden pile that had been buried for many years, and I learned that it was Yanggu County that found out some questions about Taishi Cai, and the Tong family exchanged with the Cai family. ”

Song Huizong's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yanggu County? I remember the last time I offered the method of salt making, right there? Could it be that he is getting in the way again this time? ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Sooner or later, one day, I will personally cut off the heads of Cai Jing and Tong Guan, the two dog thieves!"

Everyone in the world thinks that Cai Jing and Tong Guan are quite relied on by the emperor, I don't know how to feel if they hear this at this time? And the ministers all thought that it was Li Yan, who was in cahoots with Tong Guankeng, but what was the reason for Song Huizong to be in his heart here?

What is the truth of history? You can't know until you've experienced it. The rest, all of which are insufficient.

"Where is Wu Zhi now? Send someone to test it and see if it can be used by me. ”

Li Yan said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, Wu Zhi was poisoned and fell into the water, and his life and death are currently unknown." ”

Song Huizong was slightly stunned, and muttered after a while: "It's a pity......"

……

At the same time, Cai Taishi's Mansion, Cai Jing and his youngest son Cai Wei were also talking secretly in the study.

Cai Jing is already a disgusting look of teaching his son well, "This time the father and Tong Guan have completely broken up, and the two families will definitely be immortal in the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and don't let the Tong family seize the handle." ”

Cai Wei hesitated for a moment and said: "The Tong family has long been the sworn enemy of our Cai family, the child is just worried, father, you have offended the Gao Taiwei Mansion this time, it seems that it is ......"

"Hmph," Cai Jing said disdainfully: "Gao Yu is just a little person who is 'fortunate to enter', and he has today's status by relying on his whiskers and horses, and his foundation is unstable, so he should not be afraid." It's that Yang Valley, if you want to send someone to go again, you must kill Ding Mao, he knows too much. Also, find out if Na Wuzhi is dead. ”

"Yes."

……

Since Tong Guan is back, of course, it is impossible to go out of Beijing and return to the northwest immediately, so he returned to Tongfu.

Of course, there are countless powerful people who come to visit the general's return to the court, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a sycophant, if it was before, Tong Guan naturally did not refuse, after all, they all brought generous gifts. But now, Tong Guan was very sensitive to the fact that His Majesty the Emperor was faintly dissatisfied with him, and he didn't receive anyone, but just had a reunion dinner with his family members who had not seen him for several years, and then went back to the study.

In the study, the latest news from Yanggu County has arrived.

Wu Zhi is still no news.

Tong Guan was silent for a long time, and muttered: "Talent, it's a pity ......"

……

Why Tong Guan said that it was a pity, it was very simple, because it has been too long since Wuda fell into the water, and since Wuda has not been found, the chance of Wuda's survival is very slim.

Even if Wu Da hadn't been drowned by the river, he would have been poisoned by the dart and would have died of poison.

Everyone understands this truth, and the Wufu of Yanggu County now brings together many heroes, and they naturally know this truth.

However, they still did not give up.

In the entire Wu Mansion, except for the necessary generals and guards, the rest of the people were all sent out to search for Wu Da; The men and horses in the Tong Ying military camp were also called, including Liang Shan, and Gongsun Sheng summoned Liang Shan to call the "Three Ruan Brothers" who were good at water warfare, as well as Li Jun's henchmen "Langli Baitiao" Zhang Shun and "Boat Huo'er" Zhang Heng, and made every effort to search and rescue Wuda.

Even Jin Lian, who has a big belly, has traveled all over Yanggu County these days, sending food and money to every household, just hoping that the neighbors can help search, or when they find Wuda outside, they must come to inform the Wu family.

I have to admit that Jin Lian has given everything she has for Wuda.

In fact, even if she didn't do this, the people of the entire Yanggu Valley would have spontaneously gone in groups to search and rescue Wuda.

Since that day, Zhou Dong sent Lu Junyi to drink and ordered everyone not to act rashly, and the Wu Clan's workshop was sealed by the imperial court.

Ximenqing was clear in his heart, they wanted to explore the secrets in the workshop, but their little tricks were bound to fail, because Ximenqing sent a large number of guards to guard the workshop.

It's okay to put a seal, but if you want to enter the workshop, there is no door!

Even later, Lord Assassin Shi didn't know what news he heard from Bianjing, and sent someone to tear off the seal, but Ximenqing didn't agree.

The Ximen official said that this seal is easy to paste, but it is difficult to tear it off, and it is necessary to wait for the head of the martial family, Wu Zhi, to come back and then make a plan.

It's just that the search and rescue operation has lasted for so many days, but there has been no news from Wuhan University.

Yes, where is Wuhan University?

……

Wuda jumped into that river, which was called the "Jindi River".

Jindi River is a tributary of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the river is 159 kilometers long, because the outlet of the Jindi River is affected by the siltation and elevation of the Yellow River trough year by year, the surface runoff and underground runoff are not smooth, so that the groundwater in the middle and lower reaches is shallow, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and there are many slopes and depressions, which also causes the turbulent water flow in some river basins.

In the gentle lower reaches of the Jindi River, there is a wetland of reeds, which is extremely large and boundless.

Since it is spring, the grass is everywhere, the reeds are naturally ferocious, and there are hundreds of birds inhabiting here.

In the confusion of the reeds, there is an inconspicuous boat, which has been wandering here for a long time.

In the cabin, Wu Da, who was sleeping, was wrapped in zongzi, and had obviously been here for a long, long time
