In the flower hall of the second entry of the Liu family, the bead curtain is half rolled, the charcoal fire is flourishing, there are famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, among which there are many handwritings of famous people such as Su Dongpo, the piano and chess on the table are wishful, the emblem pen is inkstone, and it is placed in a good way, showing the heritage of the family everywhere. ,!

Liu Ming sat on the Taishi chair, playing with a warm jade toad in his hand, and the two pretty girls were helping him beat his thighs one on the left and one on the right. There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Liu Ming's eyelids couldn't help jumping, his eyes were horizontal, and he scolded the two maids: "Go, go, see who is outside the door?" ”

The two maids retreated to the door in a panic, and the voice of the chief housekeeper Liu Sanmin came from outside the door: "Master, the old slave has something urgent to report." ”

"Come in!"

Liu Sanmin did not come in, but drove the two maids away, and he stood guard in front of the door, and what came into the hall was a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old man, with a cold face, and immediately bowed when he entered the hall: "Master, something happened!" ”

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Master, when the fifth watch convoy was about to arrive at Zhuangshang last night, I suddenly encountered more than 100 forbidden troops riding south at night, and the other party came too fast, and the villain couldn't avoid it......."

Liu Minghuo got up and asked, "But the thing was intercepted?" ”

"Back to the master, that's not true, at that time, the forbidden army hurriedly staggered with us, and did not stop to ask, but then there were four of us, obviously the other party was suspicious, we ambushed these four people at the fork in the road, and now all traces have been erased, but ......"

"Sanmin, go and find out immediately who led the troops into the city last night." Liu Ming interrupted the words of the man in the hall again, and shouted to Liu Sanmin outside the door.

"Back to the master. The old slave inquired, and last night the convoy met Yang Yi, the Duke of Ningguo, and it is said that Yang Yi went back to Taiyuan to visit Zhang Qi. ”

"Yang Yi? How could it be Yang Yi? He was in a hurry on this cold night? ”

"Master, now Xie Qilang and the others have made the four tailgating soldiers disappear, but Yang Yi is already suspicious, and when he finds out that these four people are missing, he will definitely investigate the matter. Master, what shall we do? Nowadays, the Zhuangzi outside the city has hoarded a lot of things, in case they are found. I can't hide it at all! ”

Liu Ming has a lot of history, and he has developed a temperament that is not surprised when encountering problems, but I heard that it was Yang Yi who met him. I couldn't help but cry in my heart, now on the entire ground in Hedong, except for Yang Yi, everything else is easy to deal with, but now I was met by this killing star, and Liu Ming couldn't help but lose my sense of proportion.

Several batches of things were hoarded on the Zhuangzi outside the city, and I wanted to take it slowly after a while, but now if Yang Yiyi sent someone to investigate it closely, it was indeed as Liu Sanmin said, and he couldn't hide it at all.

"Sanmin. You immediately take my post and ask for your lord, I'll wait for him in Jinyang Restaurant, be quick. ”

"Yes, sir."

As soon as Liu Sanmin came out of the front door, he saw Lu Ziying, a detached staff, hurriedly entering the house. As soon as the two met, Zhu Ziying said quickly: "Hurry up, take me to see your master." ”

"Mr. Zhu, please come with me." Yang Sanmin didn't say much else, and immediately took Zhu Ziying to the second hall.

Seeing Zhu Ziying's expression coming in a hurry, Liu Ming was even more frightened, and when he came out, he asked, "Mr. Zhu, please come in quickly, now I can't be polite." Mr. Zhu said quickly, but what did I tell my brother? ”

Zhu Ziying was in his fifties, he looked a little thin, and he hurried in all the way, making him out of breath, Liu Ming didn't care about telling others, and hurriedly went to the table and poured Zhu Ziying a cup of tea.

Zhu Ziying took the tea, drank it in one gulp, and then let out a long breath before saying: "Lord Liu, Yang Yi, a scholar of Hallym University at about five o'clock last night, suddenly returned to Taiyuan to visit Zhang Qi, calculate the time, and the time when the convoy went out of the city happened to be together, presumably it was met, my lord asked me to ask you, did Yang Yi see anything unusual at that time?" This is a big deal, you have to be honest, let's discuss a way to deal with it. ”

Where did Liu Ming dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhu, I was about to go to Brother Xiang to discuss this matter, according to the report of my family, I did meet Yang Yi and his party at that time, although Yang Yi did not stop the horse for interrogation, but sent four people to quietly follow the convoy ......"

Zhu Ziying was shocked when he heard this, he was really afraid of something, he asked in astonishment: "Is there really such a thing?" Lord Liu said quickly, what happened later? Where are those four now? ”

"Mr. Zhu listened to what I said, and those four people kept following the convoy, and our people had to dispose of these four people."

"How?"

"Let them disappear completely."

"Confused! Confused! Zhu Ziying couldn't help but secretly say that the big thing was not good, Yang Yi sent someone to follow him, this person was gone, wouldn't it make him more suspicious, "You should arrange it as an illusion of being killed by bandits, how much can you delay it, now that it's okay, a few big living people have disappeared out of thin air, how can Yang Yi give up?" ”

"Mr. Zhu, have you thought about it, it's useless, these four people are all forbidden soldiers, now there are any bandits around Taiyuan who dare to hit these people with ideas, no matter how they are arranged, Yang Yi can also guess a rough idea, it is better to be like now, it is better to come to life without seeing people and deaths, Mr. Zhu has always been talented, you quickly think of a way, what should you do now? Otherwise, when Yang Yi sent someone to find out about Zhuangzi, the major event would be suspended. ”

Liu Ming is usually a very resourceful person, but at the moment his mind is in turmoil, and he can't think about it for a while.

Zhu Ziying frowned tightly, pacing back and forth in the hall, the thumb of his right hand unconsciously pinching the index finger and middle finger, as if the Taoist priest on the street was pinching his fingers to tell the hexagram.

Zhu Ziying was thinking back and forth in her heart, thinking back and forth, it was impossible to push this matter to Liu Ming alone, anyone could guess that without the accomplice of high-ranking officials, Liu Ming would not be able to do this kind of thing, and once Liu Ming was convicted, he would definitely implicate Xiang Chaoran, and it would be difficult to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

Liu Ming's eyes followed Zhu Ziying back and forth, how did he know that he was calculating himself in his heart, Liu Ming was about to get angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to interrupt his train of thought, that kind of torment could be described as living for years.

After half a cup of tea, I heard Zhu Ziying say: "For today's plan, this is the only way to do, I will go back and let Lord Xiang think of dragging Yang Yi, Lord Liu, you immediately send someone to find a safe place to bury the silver money in the village, and the remaining grain and grass materials will be poured with grease and burned completely, and the remaining ashes will be poured into the river and washed away, leaving no traces." ”

Liu Ming felt very painful in his heart when he heard this, after all, it was a material worth more than 200,000 yuan, and seeing that the silver that was resold was flowing into his pocket, who didn't feel distressed?

But things have developed to this point, and it really can't be burned without burning, Liu Ming finally asked: "Mr. Zhu, what about those grenades?" What to do? ”

Zhu Ziying replied: "If you can bury it, bury it together, and if it's too late, sink it to the bottom of the river together." ”

Liu Ming said worriedly: "The problem is that the Liao side has paid half of the payment, and we will come to pick up the goods in the next two days. ”

Zhu Ziying's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "You can do this matter yourself, it's really not good, when the time comes, let people pretend to be horse bandits, and kill the people who come to pick up the goods, as long as you are sharp, don't leave any heads, and then there is no proof of death, how can the Liao State have anything to do with us?" ”

Liu Ming's heart settled for a while, nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. Zhu is thoughtful, I will do it accordingly, and ask Mr. Zhu to go back quickly, so that my brother Xiang can delay Yang Yi for a day no matter what." ”

Zhu Ziying didn't say much, and immediately left.

Yang Yi slept until noon and got up, and when he asked Zhang Erfa and the others if they hadn't come back, he suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart, it was said that it had been so long, if there was nothing abnormal, Zhang Erfa should have sent someone back to report it, and if there was an abnormality, he should come back to report it.

Yang Yi then sent twenty guards out of the city to find Zhang Erfa and others, and then wrote a secret letter and sent someone to send it quietly to Funan Street. Since the expansion of the staff hall, it has been very mysterious, except for the headquarters in the capital, the branches in various places are not open to the public;

Even local officials rarely know the location of the branch of the Zhifang Pavilion, and Funan Street, where Yang Yi sent someone to send the secret letter, is the location of the branch of the Hedong Group of the Zhifang Pavilion.

After Yang Yi ordered these two things, he still felt that it was still difficult to feel at ease, and sent someone to Xinzhou to ask Xie Dongsheng to personally bring five hundred cavalry to Taiyuan.

When Yang Yi finished all this and left the dormitory, and was about to visit Zhang Ji again, he saw Xiang Chaoran greet him with a smile on his face, and said from afar: "Scholar Yang is going to visit Zhang Jing's envoy?" ”

Yang Yi also replied with a smile: "Exactly! If Lord Xiang is free, why don't we go over and visit together. ”

"Don't hide it from Scholar Yang, the lower official just went to visit the envoy of Zhang Jingluo, Scholar Yang is really a god and a man, not only Wen Taowu is difficult for ordinary people to reach, but this medical skill is also unattainable by Scholar Yang, the injury of the envoy of Zhang Jing has been given by Scholar Yang with a wonderful hand, it is already very good, when the lower official went to visit before, Zhang Jingluo made him just take medicine and rested, why didn't Scholar Yang visit later?"

"Oh, that's not good to affect the rest of the chapter and the scriptures, thank you for reminding you."

Xiang Chaoran said with a spring breeze on his face: "Don't dare, don't dare, Scholar Yang is too polite, the lower officials have admired Scholar Yang for a long time, but a few days ago, the disaster was like fire, and Scholar Yang came to Taiyuan and the lower officials failed to fulfill the friendship of the landlord;

Now that the disaster relief work in various places has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the victims have been properly resettled, if Scholar Yang returns to Taiyuan, if the lower officials do not fulfill the friendship of the landlords, it will be impossible to say. ”

"You're not welcome."

"Scholar Yang was tired all night, just got up, presumably didn't have lunch, just Xiaguan prepared a table of banquet in Jinyang Building, when it was to make up for Yang University's reception, at the same time, Xiaguan has many places to ask Scholar Yang for advice, and I hope that Scholar Yang will reward Scholar Yang with a thin noodle."

Yang Yi smiled and said: "Xiang is kind to the adults, if the official pushes it back, it will not be reasonable, since this is the case, please lead the way in front of the adults." ”

"Make, make, Scholar Yang, please!"

"Please!"
