Wangjiang Tower has three floors high, rises from the ground, the momentum is magnificent, the wine is floating in the air, and the lady city in the northwest corner looks at each other, and gives birth to so many points of historical vicissitudes again.

Xiangyang is a famous city in ancient times, there are too many legends here, and the lady city is said to be built by Mrs. Han, the mother of the assassination history, and the women in the city to fight against foreign enemies in the Jin Dynasty, and has made great contributions to the safety of the people in Xiangyang.

Looking down from the third floor of Wangjiang Tower, I saw the rolling river to the west, it was the big waves and sand, where to find the heroes of the ages.

Ye Zhao was sitting in the window seat at this time, full of gold and jade delicacies, elixir and jade liquid, headed by Zhu Minzao of Xiangyang Mansion, more than a dozen civil officials, military generals, celebrities, and squires were all full of words, patting Ye Zhao's sycophants.

Zhu Minzao is a fourth-grade official, lapis lazuli top, and Si Sven looks pleasing to the eye, but his mouth is full of sycophants, which is inevitably insulting to Sven.

But it's no wonder that he can sit at the same table with Grandpa Guo in this life, which can be said to be an adventure, as for the civil and military officials under his rule, it is even more like being in a dream, and he doesn't know where he is.

Not to mention that the grandfather of the country made Xiangfan eliminate a catastrophe, the mob of Fancheng rose up, and besieged Xiangyang, just when Zhu Minzao was at a loss, the mob suddenly abandoned Fancheng and left, and later got the letter, it turned out that it was the Duke of Fuguo who arrived. Hundreds of guards Zhou Zhuang Liwei, broke the Denghua Sect, beheaded the leader of the bandits, Gao Erxian, and was shocked that the people of the Denghua Sect fled in despair, and abandoned Fancheng to the west.

Zhu Minzao never knew that there was such a young prince who led the troops in this dynasty, but he marked a military attache who had seen it in the newspaper, saying that this prince of the country fought against the Rakshasa people in the north and won a few battles.

For the Rakshasa country, Zhu Minzao has heard a little, and heard that it is the Yibang in the north, but he doesn't know the details. But this young prince, although he is a nobleman of the clan, is a very popular minister at a young age, which is quite remarkable.

Wang Shoubei cheered up, and carefully described to the grandfather of the country the atmosphere of building a walled fort in Hubei, since the White Lotus Sect started a few decades ago, the construction of a walled fort in Hubei is flourishing, and now the construction of the walled fort is gradually turning from the mountains to the plains.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It turns out that for this reason, I am still strange along the way, why are there military camps everywhere?" When I arrived in front of this Fancheng, I couldn't see the fenced wooden fort. ”

Seeing that Grandpa Guo and Wang Shoubei were talking very happily, Zhu Minzao couldn't sit still, racked his brains and pondered to say a few words that Grandpa Guo was interested in, and then he had an idea, put on a guilty look, and said to Ye Zhao: "Grandpa, the mob is stirring, and the lower officials are really ashamed, because the lower officials have recently cracked a big case of thieves from the Fair Party, and all their thoughts are on the case of the thief party, but they don't want to take care of one or the other, and they are negligent in taking precautions, so that the Lantern Flower Sect has a chance, and the lower officials are ashamed, ashamed!" ”

Sure enough, I saw Grandpa Guo's expression paying attention: "Fair Party? ”

The founding of the Fair Party in Guangxi, which shook the world, and even defeated Yun Guichi to suppress the elite soldiers, was the first class confidant of the imperial court after the bandits, how could the grandfather not care? Seeing that it really aroused the interest of Grandpa Guo, Zhu Minzao was excited, but his face was more respectful, and he said: "Two men and one woman from the thief party, from Guangxi, colluded with the local squire Chen Gui with bad intentions. One of the bandits was captured, relying on the emperor's authority, so the bandits abandoned the secret and surrendered to the light, confessed all their plots, and when they were rounded up with the official army, they personally killed one of the thieves. ”

Ye Zhao nodded lightly and said, "It's good to be able to get lost and know how to return, and it is the best policy to use both soothing and appeasement." In my heart, I was slightly stunned, it is not surprising that there are fair party activities in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Guangdong, after all, it is adjacent to Guangxi. But in Hubei and Xiangyang, there are traces of the Fairness Party, which is somewhat surprising.

Zhu Minzao said yes again and again, and said: "This is what the lower official means, anyway, the bandit, the lower official has promoted him as a general of the foreign commission, and he can't be cold-hearted." It's a pity that Chen Gui committed suicide by taking poison after the defeat, he was a widower and had no children, so he failed to find out the remnants of the thieves. ”

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Lord Futai has already made a great achievement. He also said: "This official went to Guangdong, and he was the opponent of the party bandits. ”

"Of course, of course, grandpa is willing to see him, that is the blessing he has cultivated for several lifetimes!" Zhu Minzao hurriedly turned around and instructed his subordinates to pass the message, and spread the word that the total number of people would kowtow to Grandpa Guo.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Gao Youba soon arrived, he was in his thirties, tall and thin, with a sallow face, small and bright eyes, wearing a red tasseled hat, wearing an official uniform with a yin pattern and a gold-topped embroidered bird, and kowtowed to Ye Zhao tremblingly.

"You, you're high?" Ye Zhao asked in a long voice.

"Yes, back to Grandpa, the small one is high." He didn't dare to raise his head, and when he came in, he was dazzled by this brilliant scene, and the room was full of adults with all kinds of tops, as for Grandpa Guo, he didn't dare to look at it, so he could only kowtow vigorously.

It is necessary to say that others are extremely shrewd and cautious, otherwise Cen Tianhua, the head of the party department, would not have entrusted him to come to Hubei, he is not addicted to gambling and drinking, and he would not have had an accident. But it was also unlucky, a few days ago he went out of the inn, bumped into two drunken officials, let him apologize is not good, lock him and leave, originally just wanted to blackmail him to knock some silver, who knew that he was found out of the short blade, the two officials were overjoyed, this is a felony, he was immediately put in prison, the whip and the iron came down, Gao Youba was so painful that the ghost cried wolf, I couldn't stand it, Suo surnamed confessed that he was a member of the fair party, and asked to see Xiangyang Mansion, there was a confidential report.

When Xiangyang Mansion heard the news and saw him, he gritted his teeth, and personally led the officers and soldiers to get people, and personally cut off the head of Xiao Qi, who pretended to be his follower, and arrested Luo Amei, who pretended to be his wife, but unfortunately when he went to arrest Chen Gui, Chen Gui committed suicide by taking poison.

Gao Youba immediately lied to Xiangyang Mansion that there was a fair party network in Xiangyang City, so as not to make Zhu Minzao think that he had no use value because of Chen Gui's death. In fact, Chen Gui's joining the Fairness Party is really a coincidence, and Guilin believes that this is an excellent opportunity to infiltrate the Fairness Party into Hunan and Hubei, so that Gao Youyou and 83 people will come to Xiangyang to assist Chen Gui in developing the party.

Ye Zhao looked at him, and then asked in a long voice: "What kind of official are you in Guilin?" ”

"The small, the small have no office and no power." Gao Youba's ass pouted higher.

"Oh?" Ye Zhao's delicate fingers twisted the dragon fruit into the plate, and said lightly: "This is strange." ”

Gao Youba was startled, and kowtowed vigorously, "The small, the small one doesn't dare to deceive the grandfather, the small one has no position and no power, let's go to the field to launch the party...... The rebellion of the thieves is yes, it has no authority, but the salary is excellent. ”

"Really?" Ye Zhao's tone was light.

Seeing that Grandpa Guo was suspicious of himself, Gao Youba was really scared that the seven souls went out of his body, and the five Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he kowtowed again and again, and said: "The small, the small one has a confidential matter to tell the grandfather." ”

"Oh? What kind of secret? Ye Zhao was full of shelves.

"This?" Gao Youba couldn't help but secretly raise his head and looked around, obviously saying that there were many people.

How could Ye Zhao not want to know what kind of secret he had about the fair party? But he said expressionlessly: "Say, the people here are all more loyal than you, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." Gao Youba complained bitterly in his heart, originally this secret was prepared to be told when the governor summoned him twice, but when the fortune was in charge, he actually had the opportunity to meet the grandfather of the country, so this wealth was naturally sold to the grandfather of the country, but now the house is full of people, especially Xiangyang Mansion is here, and he said it himself, but he offended Xiangyang Mansion ruthlessly.

Ye Zhao stared at him a few times, then waved his hand and said, "Futai can listen to it with me." ”

Although the big guy is not full of wine and food, who dares to stay when he sees the gesture of the grandfather of the country? I was busy bowing down and saying goodbye one by one, thinking about how much filial piety silver I would pack later.

Waiting for everyone to go out, there were only two guards left in the room, Grandpa Guo, Xiangyang Mansion and Grandpa Guo, Gao Youba knew that he couldn't help but say it, and there was no way to offend Xiangyang Mansion.

Immediately, the head of the bamboo pole with eight highs knocked a few times, and said loudly: "Grandpa Guo, Lord Futai, Luo Amei, who came to Xiangyang with me pretending to be a husband and wife, is really, it is the Virgin Mary ......" said smoothly, froze, and then slapped himself cracklingly, "The little one should be damned, the little one should be damned!" ”

"Okay, forgive your innocence, go on." Ye Zhao frowned.

"Yes, yes." Gao Youba's mouth was bleeding, and she wiped it with her hand before she said: "Luo Amei, she used to be, she was the guard of Su and Su Hongniang's traitors, and she must know a lot about the military affairs of the Guangxi thief party." Although he had the courage to call Su Hongniang's name at first, his voice became smaller and smaller when he spit out these three words, and by the time he reached the word "Niang", he was already inaudible, his tongue was a little curled, and he secretly looked around, as if the Virgin Mary would suddenly flash with a red lotus and cut off his head. Although thousands of miles away, the matchmaker is still under pressure.

Xiangyang Mansion's face sank when he heard it, but no, such an important secret, but he has been hiding it from himself, Na Luo Amei, thinking that she was just a slave and maid pretending to be his wife for Gao Youbado, not an important person, she has been locked up in the women's prison for the past few days, and she has been tortured several times, and she can't ask any clues, and she is about to send her to the jailers to deal with.

No wonder this Gao Youba has always persuaded himself to treat Luo Amei well, and wait for the governor to summon him before dealing with it, if he is sent to the jailer and is humiliated to death, he is afraid that the governor will see the crime. I also think what he said is reasonable, but it turns out that he has other thoughts.

Zhu Minzao's liver was boiling, but Grandpa Guo was there, so he naturally didn't dare to attack.

Gao Youba didn't dare to look at him. Originally, I thought that I had taken refuge in the imperial court, but who knew that Xiangyang Mansion only entrusted itself with a small foreign commission, a petty official of Jiupin Sesame Mung Bean, and because of his traitorous identity, he was bullied, and it seemed that even if he sold Luo Amei's identity to him, he would not be able to make any benefits, so he naturally had to find another way.

Gao Youba planned to prepare a secret report to the governor and then go to the governor's side on an errand, and now, he can only hope that the grandfather of the country will say a word, and he will not dare to embarrass Zhu Minzao for himself.

"Where is Sister Luo now?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhu Minzao.

Zhu Minzao hurriedly said respectfully: "Imprisoned in the women's prison, the lower officials will bring her here." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that Xiangyang City is the right one, Lord Zhu is my lucky star!" This official is going to Guangdong, he is at a loss, he doesn't know the truth of the thief party, but there is Lord Zhu in the snow, this official will definitely give the emperor the queen mother of the two palaces, and ask for credit for Lord Zhu! ”

Zhu Minzao was overjoyed, got up and gave his hand again and again: "Don't dare, how can the lower officials have any credit, they are all the blessings of the grandfather, and all the evils will naturally be relieved, even if the lower officials have a small amount of credit, they are also stained with the blessings of the grandfather." ”

Ye Zhao said again: "I wanted to leave immediately, but let's stay tonight, Na Luo Amei, you send it over, I'll ask a few words." ”

Zhu Minzao hurriedly bowed down and said, "The lower official obeys the order, and the lower official will do it." ”

Ye Zhao glanced at Gao Youba, and said: "Gao will always follow me, I am afraid that he will be indispensable to the thief party in the future." ”

Gao Youba was stunned, and then almost fainted with joy, being able to follow Grandpa Guo, what kind of creation will it be after that? He kowtowed vigorously, "The small, the small one must be full of liver and brains to repay the grace of the grandfather." ”

Ye Zhao smiled silently.

…… Jiachun Garden is a famous garden in Xiangyang, with beautiful rockeries, deep valleys, lush flowers and trees, elegant and beautiful.

In front of the platform, in the blue pond, the mountains and rocks are rugged, and the lotus leaves sway lightly with the wind, which makes people forget the vulgarity.

Sitting in the pavilion, Ye Zhao quietly tasted tea.

On his side, Baksh stood with his waist on his hand, and a little farther away, he was Gao Youba, who was full of sycamore.

"Hurry up!" On the promenade in the middle of the lake, a few people came pushing and shoving, and it was the official who escorted Luo Amei to come, and Luo Amei walked in the middle and walked with her head held high.

At the corner of the corridor, two flag guards stopped them, and the officers hurriedly changed their smiles, but the cold-faced guards had already reprimanded: "What kind of body is it to drink and drink!" Retire! ”

"Yes, yes." The officials nodded their heads, and they didn't dare to scold their mothers in their hearts, in case their expressions were revealed, they were afraid that they would be cut off in vain. Grandpa Guo's guards, the governor doesn't dare to mess with him?

Luo Amei has a delicate face, a tall and strong figure, a heroic spirit, and is tied very tightly by ropes, but her figure is concave and convex.

I'm afraid that Zhu Minzao had already ordered the aunt in the women's prison to bathe him before sending it, otherwise how would he see people in the stinking sky?

But on her face, the whip marks are still there, and when the official pushed her just now, she struggled hard, and even pulled the wound, and blood slowly trickled down her sleeve, although she was in the women's prison, she was tortured even more. Those aunts are simply perverted, the more the whip screams, the more excited they seem to be, Luo Amei never said anything, naturally she was tortured even more, and both ru's rooms were burned with a soldering iron.

She saw Gao Youba at a glance, and her eyes immediately turned red, and the tragic situation of Xiao Qi's poor child being cut off by Gao Youba was vivid, and it was her lingering nightmare.

How can there be such a vicious and shameless person in this world? The night before, he was very intimate with Xiao Qi, and the second day he could swing the cold steel knife and dismantle it into eight pieces? Poor Xiaoqi has always treated this beast as if he were his own brother.

Every time Luo Amei thinks of Gao Youba, a traitor, she can't wait to eat his flesh raw.

"I, I'll kill you!" Luo Amei suddenly pounced on Gao Youba, but her whole body was bound, Gao Youba took a few steps back, she fell to the ground, the blood, the flow accelerated, but she crawled forward on the ground and moved desperately, opening her mouth to bite Gao Youba's feet, that fierce appearance, Bai Sensen's teeth, chilling.

Gao Youba was so frightened that he took a few steps back, he had a shameful face when he just saw Luo Amei, but at this time he also let go, and scolded: "Stinky mother-in-law! Grandpa Guo still dares to be rude here! As he spoke, he kicked Luo Amei in the head, and Luo Amei's eyes were immediately bruised and swollen, narrowing into a line.

"I, I'm going to kill you if I'm a ghost." Luo Amei's cold words almost squeezed out between her teeth, which made Gao Youba shudder, and then became furious, and was about to kick her a few more times, but was stopped by Bakshi.

Ye Zhao had already beckoned, and the two guards immediately walked up, one left and one right, and set up Luo Amei on the stone bench opposite Ye Zhao.

Across the stone table, Ye Zhao looked at Luo Amei, if there is a master, there must be a servant, and how fierce is the matchmaker? Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart, to be honest, he didn't know much about the real matchmaker, the sky-high evil spirit, but he didn't reveal it in front of him, right?

"Who are you?" Luo Amei raised her head and looked at Ye Zhao, although she was tortured in every way, her unbending spirit did not decrease slightly.

Ye Zhao poured a cup of tea, sent it to Luo Amei, and said, "I should be the court eagle dog you hate very much, or a big one." Saying that, he made a gesture, and a guard brought the teacup to Luo Amei's mouth, and Luo Amei was not polite, and drank it with a bang.

Luo Amei drank tea, glanced at Ye Zhao with squinted eyes, and said, "How you want to torture me, come on!" Don't pretend to be a good person! Glancing at this young boy, he said in his heart that he didn't know where the gentleman came out, but he didn't know if he could escape from his hands, and he didn't ask for mercy from God, he just wanted to escape for the time being, and if he could kill Gao Youba, a thief, he would die without regrets.

Luo Amei has a rough appearance, but in fact she is bold and careful, but she is not a blind reckless man.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Torture you? Why should I torture you? Not only did I not torture you, but I also hired a famous doctor, and I estimated that I would be there in a while to heal you. ”

Luo Amei's delicate heart sank, this young magnate is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with.

Ye Zhao pointed at Gao Youba with a smile again, and said: "If the girl doesn't kill him, she won't be willing to die in the future, then the girl will listen to the doctor's words carefully, take care of it, and say that let's go on the road together, and the medicinal materials will definitely be prepared for you." ”

Luo Amei really didn't know what this young magnate had in mind, stared at Ye Zhao, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Ye Zhao shook the folding fan with a smile and said, "Speaking of which+, it can be regarded as the opponent of the matchmaker." "If you don't complain, you can't be a husband and wife, and you can barely be regarded as an opponent.

"Phew!" Luo Amei spit out a mouthful of blood and saliva, and scolded: "What kind of thing are you, dare to call your mother by her name!" ”

Fortunately, Ye Zhao's hand was quick, and the fan was blocked as soon as he unfolded, frowning slightly, and some guards were angry and wanted to smoke Luo Amei's mouth, Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Forget it!" Country girl, don't worry about her. ”

stood up, smiled at Luo Amei, and said, "If you want to hate it, you have to survive, right?" Shaking the fan, Shi Shi left.
