"It is indeed not trivial that the three major artifacts were snatched away, but in comparison, Yangzhou City was more seriously captured by the Mulberry Island Ronin. If this happens, the Holy Lord will be very angry, and at this time, all the officials in Yangzhou City will not escape the blame, including me and the two princes. Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and said: "The two princes are the descendants of the current royal family, and the saint will not blame them, and this crime of defending the city will naturally fall on my head." ”

When Di Qing heard this, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly, and she said puzzledly: "Canghai, what does this have to do with you?" You're not the county guard of Yangzhou City? ”

Li Canghai shook his head and said: "I am holding the Holy Seal now, nominally speaking, I am the highest official of Jiangnan Province, if Yangzhou City is occupied and captured, I will be unable to escape the blame even if I die." ”

"Huh? So dangerous? I thought that with this holy seal, I had the supreme right, but I didn't expect this holy seal to be so dangerous, wouldn't this become a hot potato? Canghai, how is this good? Di Qing suddenly became a little anxious, and asked worriedly.

Li Canghai knew that Di Qing cared about her, smiled softly at her, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's not so easy for him to get rid of me." Some ronins also want to get involved in Yangzhou City, which is a pipe dream! I originally planned to deal with them after the three major artifacts were sent away, but now it seems that I have to act in advance! ”

"Brother Li, what are your plans?" Conan asked when he saw that he looked confident.

Li Canghai thought for a while, a hint of an unfathomable smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Since the Sang Island Ronin wants Yangzhou City, then give Yangzhou City to them." ”

"Give them Yangzhou City?" Di Qing was a little stunned.

"Since Ueda Takashi has come to conspire with you, what is the plan you discussed?" Li Canghai asked Zhang Wenyuan.

Zhang Wenyuan looked at Li Canghai suspiciously, unable to figure out why he was so indifferent, as if all this was in his expectation.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific plan, they just asked me to cooperate with the operation, poison the food of the Yangzhou garrison, and then open the city gate at night to let them into the city." ”

"And when are they going to act?" Li Canghai asked.

"I don't know. Ueda Takashi did not say a specific time, but only said to wait for news from Dohihara. Zhang Wenyuan said honestly.

Li Canghai pondered for a moment, and then whispered a few words to Zhang Wenyuan.

After listening to this, Zhang Wenyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have committed a lot of sin, and now I have the intention of repenting, and I will definitely go all out in this matter." ”

In the firewood room in the backyard of the Zhang family, Ueda Takashi was tied up and lying on the ground like a dead pig, with sackcloth stuffed in his mouth and could only make a humming sound.

Zhang Wenyuan walked in, he was busy untying Ueda Takashi, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Ueda, I am really sorry for making you suffer." ”

Ueda Takashi broke free of the rope on his body, he reached out and pulled out the sackcloth in his mouth, slammed it on the ground, pointed at Zhang Wenyuan's nose and scolded: "Zhang Wenyuan, what the hell are you doing?" Are you trying to tear your face with us? ”

Ueda Takashi spat and flew sideways, and the spit Xingzi sprayed Zhang Wenyuan directly in the face.

Zhang Wenyuan was not angry at all, he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Ueda, this is all a misunderstanding!" I did this only as a last resort to find the murderer. What's more, I am doing this for the sake of Mr. Ueda's innocence and to give Mr. Ueda justice. ”

Seeing Zhang Wenyuan's respectful expression, the anger on his face dissipated a lot, he patted the dust on his body and hummed, "Who is the murderer?" How dare you frame me? I'm going to tear him to pieces!" ”

Zhang Wenyuan bowed and stood beside him, sighed, and said, "The murderer has been punished, so Mr. Ueda should not ask any more questions." ”

"Oh? When you say that, it makes me a little interested. Ueda Takashi saw Zhang Wenyuan's respectful face, and his mood instantly felt very comfortable.

Who is Zhang Wenyuan? He is Yang Guozhong's adopted son! Which of the officials at all levels of Gangnam Province is not respectful to him? And at this time, he is so respectful to himself, how does this make him unhappy?

Zhang Wenyuan looked a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I can't hide it, this murderer is my son who I haven't met for a long time." ”

"Do you have a son? Don't you have no heirs? Ueda Takashi looked at Zhang Wenyuan and asked in surprise.

Zhang Wenyuan smiled bitterly, he sighed, and said: "This matter is a long story, Mr. Ueda doesn't know, my deceased wife once gave birth to a son, but he was picked up when he was born. Now that I have grown up, I have returned to Zhang's house to seek revenge against me, which is why I have done so many wrong things. ”

Ueda Takashi touched his nose and asked with interest, "Strange, since he is your son, why does he want to seek revenge from you?" ”

Zhang Wenyuan's face was a little ugly, he grinned, let out a long sigh, and then simply told the truth of the case to Ueda Takashi.

After listening to this, Ueda Takashi sighed a few times and said, "It turns out that the murderer is really Yu Chengen, and it is as I guessed!" But I don't know how Brother Zhang handled this matter? ”

Zhang Wenyuan said with a sad face: "This rebel is a big rebel, I can't go around him, after breaking one of his arms, I handed him over to the yamen for disposal." ”

"Good!" Hearing what Zhang Wenyuan said, Ueda Gaozhi suddenly shouted hello, and he didn't know whether he was intentional or unintentional, and stretched out his thumb and praised: "Brother Zhang killed his relatives with righteousness, and he was really righteous!" ”

Zhang Wenyuan grinned awkwardly and said, "Brother Ueda, I came this time, firstly, to ask you for guilt, and secondly, to discuss with you. ”

Seeing that he was so polite, Ueda Takashi suddenly felt that his identity had improved a lot, he waved his hand, and said extremely shamelessly: "Hey, Brother Zhang is polite, in fact, I have long seen that Yu Chengen is the murderer, so I cooperated with you to act in this play, so that he can deliberately show his flaws." Oh yes, Brother Zhang said that he had something to discuss with me, but I don't know what the matter is? ”

Zhang Wenyuan looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice: "I received the news that two days later, the Dongying envoy group will escort the three major artifacts to Luoyang. General Tu Feiyuan's plan, Yang Xiang has agreed, but I don't know when you will prepare to attack Yangzhou? ”

"The three major artifacts are going to be sent to Luoyang? Is this message reliable? Ueda Takashi asked in surprise.

Zhang Wenyuan nodded, and said solemnly: "This news was found out by me from the county guard's mansion, and the news is absolutely true and reliable." Yang Xiang means that this matter is not too late, I think since Tu Feiyuan wants to loot in Yangzhou, why not take the three major artifacts that were snatched away? That's killing two birds with one stone! ”

Ueda Takashi nodded immediately when he heard this, but then he touched his chin and said hesitantly: "This is a good suggestion, but the generals are not ready yet, and if they rashly attack Yangzhou, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate!" (To be continued.) )
