Chapter 13: The Instigators
That night, Ye Heng stayed in the mansion.
Fan Zhongyan quickly made a decision, transferred 3,000 Yongxing troops to the area along Xiuzhou in Deqing, and began to investigate the matter of the water bandits, and at the same time, Fan Zhongyan handed over his official letter to Ye Heng.
"This is a document ordered by the imperial court to control the Yongxing Army, you can be regarded as having an identity in the army, you take your people to Chongde, there is a military station there, and the people and horses there will be dispatched by you!"
Fan Zhongyan knew what Ye Heng wanted to investigate, so he inevitably instructed: "But you have to remember, don't reveal your identity and these soldiers until you have to, it's best to visit secretly!" ”
Ye Heng nodded, and Fan Zhongyan confessed again: "The matter of private salt is very important, you must remember to be careful!" If you find the evidence, immediately find a way to send someone to inform Suzhou, although I am cooperating with your investigation in Mingli, but it is difficult to guarantee that the Qian family will be careful to prepare with both hands, in this way, if the Qian family notices something, you will be in danger, so you must remember to protect yourself, if you really can't hold on, you will show your identity, and someone will naturally help you at that time! ”
Listening to the meaning of Fan Zhongyan's words, it seems that he still has some backhand.
Ye Heng is not stupid, although he didn't ask, he also guessed that it was estimated that he was a character like Tu Sanji, who had long been placed around the Qian family by the imperial court or into their interior!
If this is the case, then things will be much easier, but Ye Heng also knows that since Fan Zhongyan refuses to say who this person is in advance, maybe this person is indeed quite important!
Thinking about his coming to Suzhou this time, he just guessed out of thin air, and Fan Zhongyan believed it, is it possible?
To deal with such a major matter as the Qian family, it is impossible for Fan Zhongyan to make a decision based on just a sentence of speculation, right?
Now that Fan Zhongyan threw out the news of this person, Ye Heng understood.
It turned out that Fan Zhongyan also knew that the Qian family was stained with private salt, so maybe he had been planning this matter for a long time!
Ye Heng came to Suzhou this time, it can be said that he came at the right time!
Ye Heng guessed well, Fan Zhongyan's subordinates are now short of a person who can do something secretly, Ye Heng has not yet entered the officialdom, although he is very famous in Hangzhou, but the people he knows about his figure and appearance are limited to Lin'an, and there are not many people who know Ye Heng in Hangzhou.
In this way, Ye Heng has an advantage in going to investigate, and Ye Heng can guess that the Qian family has an affair with private salt, and also proposes that the Qian family is secretly manipulating maritime merchants and even pirates, which also proves Ye Heng's ability!
After explaining to Ye Heng, Fan Zhongyan heard that Fan Hu stayed in Lin'an, so he said to Ye Heng: "It's okay for Fan Hu to stay in Lin'an, so that the Qian family will be less suspicious of the fact that you have escaped from Lin'an, and you said that the cover-up that Tu Sanji helped you do is also just right, at least less than half a month later, the Qian family will still think that you are in Lin'an!" It's just that you first want to visit Haining, which is not a good place! ”
Ye Heng said with a smile: "The student knows that even the magistrate of the imperial court can be murdered, and even in recent years, no one in the imperial court has dared to go there to take up a post, such a place, I am afraid that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the tiger's den in Longtan!" ”
Fan Zhongyan asked, "Since you know, then you still want to go?" ”
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?"
Ye Heng said: "Only here is the most chaotic in the entire southeast, if you don't check here first, it's really a little unreasonable......
"In fact, according to the teacher's opinion, the relationship between this Haining and the Qian family should not be very ......"
Fan Zhongyan said: "Otherwise, the Qian family dares to let Haining be so messy?" ”
Ye Heng said: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, and if you don't make sure in person, you are always not at ease!" ”
"Hmm!"
Fan Zhongyan was finally persuaded by Ye Heng, he waved his hand and said, "If you want to go, go there, it's just ...... You should go to the army first, and then select a few people to take care of it, and my guards will not follow you, but I am afraid that their every move will not be able to hide the eyes of the Qian family! ”
"Students understand!"
Ye Heng nodded, and then bowed to Fan Zhongyan to say goodbye.
After leaving the Suzhou Mansion, on the way back to the inn with Hu Buxiu, Ye Heng did not chat with him anymore, but frowned and pondered.
According to the history of the Song Dynasty that Ye Heng knew, there was actually not such a big move made by the Zhao family against the Qian family, of course...... As a royal family, it is normal to suppress the Qian family, but judging from the posture prepared by Fan Zhongyan, it seems that he wants to defeat the Qian family!
Why is that?
History will not be changed, even if it will be changed, my butterfly has not yet stirred its wings!
According to the trajectory of historical anti-war, Fan Zhongyan should have been driven out of the capital by Lu Yijian to Hejian Mansion now, but Fan Zhongyan only stayed in Hejian Mansion for a year, so he was transferred to Suzhou again, and took charge of the Yongxing Army, preparing to deal with the Qian family......
With such a big movement, it must be that the Queen Mother and the Emperor are dissatisfied with the Qian family, can it be ...... Is it just because he fought with Qian Qibo in Lin'an before?
Impossible, Ye Heng is a self-aware person, what is he? How could the Queen Mother and the Emperor care about his affairs?
Moreover, Fan Zhongyan came after Ye Heng returned to Lin'an from Jiangning, that is to say, Ye Heng only wrote a poem "Fixing the Storm" in the Storm Pavilion before, which can be regarded as going against the people of the Qian family, is it just because of this?
Ye Heng didn't understand this, and there was ...... How many people like Tu Sanji are there in the vicinity of Hangzhou? How many such lurking people with a special mission have been arranged by the imperial court?
Tu Sanji......
Thinking of Tu Sanji, Ye Heng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Thinking of the excitement and eagerness that Tu Sanji showed in his bones when he was going to deal with the Qian family before, could it be ......
It was only because of the bickering and comparison between himself and Qian Qibo before, and then Tu Sanji, that he began to secretly report something to the imperial court, which set off a storm in which the imperial court wanted to deal with the Qian family?
It had to be him!
I don't know why, Ye Heng's intuition told him that it was very likely that the initiator of this incident was Tu Sanji!
