If Zhang Weixin just came in, Wang Kunjun only had a premonition that something important had happened, then the other party's answer of "something big happened over there in Kaifeng" really told him that his premonition was completely correct, and the matter might be even more serious than his premonition - Kaifeng is more than a thousand miles away, and if something really goes wrong in the "Kaifeng Detention Center", it will be difficult to help the team. Therefore, Wang Kunjun, who was still holding a trace of luck, immediately let go of all his illusions and asked, "Old Seven, you make it clear, what happened in Kaifeng?" Are they in danger? ”

Zhang Weixin did not answer immediately when he heard this, but handed the telegram to Wang Kunjun to copy the newspaper, and then explained: "Fifth brother, don't worry, the eighth brother is not in any danger." On the contrary, they are probably better off now than before. ”

Zhang Weixin's answer made Wang Kunjun a little confused, and he asked puzzledly: "Old Seven, what do you mean by this?" Since they are doing better than before, why did you break in so quickly just now, and said to me with such a serious expression, that something happened in Kaifeng? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Kunjun's heart suddenly moved, and then he thought of Zhang Weixin's just saying that Xu Shaoan and others were doing better than before, and couldn't help but have a thought - could it be that Xu Shaoan and others coveted glory and wealth, abandoned their brothers, and sincerely took refuge in Chai Rong. As soon as this thought popped up, even Wang Kunjun himself was taken aback, because he knew very well the consequences of such a situation.

Although Xu Shaoan has been working in Kaifeng for the past two years, as a member of the committee and one of the leaders of the Xigu faction, his influence in the crossing team has not weakened. On the one hand, Yang Xin, as his confidant, is now serving as an alternate member of the committee, reminding his brothers of Xu Shao'an's existence all the time. On the other hand, Xu Shao'an is now the leading general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong's favorite ministers and celebrities, and the official position of the Marquis of Yu is far more useful than that of the other brothers, and some brothers in the crossing team are quite envious of this. If it weren't for the strict team system, Kaifeng and Liangxiang are far away, I am afraid that some utilitarian traversers would have already taken it upon themselves to run to Chai Rong to "recommend themselves".

Therefore, if it is really Xu Shaoan who voted for Chai Rong, then once the news spreads, it is very likely that those who value fame and fortune in the crossing team will no longer be able to hold back their desires, find various opportunities to break away from the team, and go to Kaifeng or other separatist regimes to seek officials and enjoy the so-called glory and wealth. At that point, not only will the entire crossing team fall apart, but it is not impossible that they will eventually meet each other because they are their own masters.

Thinking of this, Wang Kunjun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, hurriedly unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and quickly browsed the content on it. And Zhang Weixin, who was standing next to him, seemed to have guessed what Wang Kunjun might think after hearing his report, so while Wang Kunjun was reading the telegram, he also opened his mouth to explain: "Fifth brother, don't misunderstand. The reason why my brother and I behaved like that just now was mainly because what Lao Qi said in the telegram was too unbelievable and unbelievable, and he acted recklessly and had a serious expression. It's not the eighth and twenty-ninth who have something to do in Kaifeng, but the eighteenth sister. ”

"Sister Lin has an accident? What happened to her to make you so gaffe, seventh brother? Zhang Xiaofei was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly interjected and asked.

Without waiting for Zhang Weixin to answer Zhang Xiaofei's question, Wang Kunjun, who had already read the telegram in a hurry, shook his head in disbelief, and asked while motioning for Zhang Weixin to sit down and speak: "How is this possible, they can't be mistaken, right?" Are the sources reliable? Is there any other way to verify? ”

Zhang Weixin also showed a wry smile when he heard this, and said, "Brother, I didn't believe it when I first saw the news. For this reason, I deliberately had a direct call with the eighth brother and asked him the same questions as the fifth brother. ”

"Seventh, don't sell Guan Zi anymore, you can tell what happened to the eighteenth sister." Zhang Xiaofei on the side asked anxiously.

Seeing this, Wang Kunjun comforted his wife for a while, and handed her the telegram copy the newspaper, while motioning Zhang Weixin to continue.

Zhang Weixin nodded and continued: "The news of the Eighth Elder was provided by an informant developed by 'Dark Feather' in the Later Zhou Palace, and the reliability is still very high. Moreover, just in case, Lao Ba also asked 'Dark Feather' to verify the news through other informants and spies, one of whom was still a eunuch on an errand beside Empress Fu of the Later Zhou Dynasty. As a result, multiple channels have confirmed the authenticity of the news. According to Lao Ba, although the official will has not yet come out, the matter is basically a certainty and will not be changed. ”,

At this time, Zhang Xiaofei also read the content of the telegram, and as the supreme official of "Dark Feather", Zhang Weixin just mentioned that she also knew about the "Dark Feather" informant who was a eunuch by Empress Fu's side. This person is considered a celebrity in front of Queen Fu, and he is very well-informed about all kinds of news in the palace, so he has naturally become the focus of "Dark Feather" recruitment.

Of course, it is certainly not easy to recruit such people. For him, the "Dark Feather" Kaifeng Branch really spent a lot of effort, and it was Zhang Xiaofei who would remember him - there were thousands of official agents of "Dark Feather", and there were even more informants, ears and eyes of all kinds, if there was nothing special, how could Zhang Xiaofei remember him. But it is precisely because he knows the importance of this eunuch informant, so his confirmation of this news means that this matter will never be false.

Therefore, after reading the telegram, Zhang Xiaofei put down the copy newspaper in his hand, looked at Wang Kunjun, and then at Zhang Weixin, as if asking the two, and said as if talking to himself: "How is this possible?" How is this possible? How could Sister Lin be Chai Rong's concubine? Isn't that a big joke? What if Chai Rong knew her identity? What if the other concubines in the palace bullied her? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaofei seemed to have thought of something, she grabbed Wang Kunjun's arm and said, "I know, it must be that Sister Lin often goes in and out of the palace to see the queen's concubines, and she will rarely see Chai Rong." As a result, because Chai Rong coveted Sister Lin's appearance, he relied on himself to be the emperor, and threatened the lives of her and Lao Ba and others to forcibly accept her as a concubine. In order to save the lives of her brothers, Sister Lin made a compromise and agreed to Chai Rong's request. ”

Although Zhang Xiaofei said it in a hurry, there is still some truth in what she said. Therefore, although Wang Kunjun did not express his position immediately, he looked up at Zhang Weixin, hoping that the other party would give him an answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Weixin smiled bitterly again, and then said with a puzzled expression: "I'm afraid things are really not what the fifth sister-in-law said. Although the eighth child has not been able to see the eighteenth sister after hearing the news, according to the information provided by the informant, although Chai Rong is interested in the eighteenth sister, he is diligent and thrifty, and he is not very obsessed with women, so he will not be obsessed with sex, and he will force the eighteenth sister to enter the palace. Second, as the king of a country, and an aspiring emperor, he will not ruin his reputation for the sake of being a woman, and he will be evaluated as a faint king. Therefore, with the righteous brother as a threat, Chai Rong will definitely not do such a thing as letting the eighteenth sister promise to marry him.

However, although Chai Rong had the intention in his heart, because the eighteenth sister did not have any relatives here, and the eldest brother of the righteous brothers was far away in Liangxiang, it was difficult to contact him for a while. Although the eighth is also her brother, with Chai Rong's understanding of these two people, he also understands that the eighth cannot be the master of the eighteenth sister. Rather than letting the eighth sister come forward in this matter, it is better to ask the eighteenth sister directly. Therefore, Chai Rong has never mentioned the matter of Na Eighteen Sister's entry into the palace.

It's just that he doesn't mention it, but it doesn't mean that others can't see it. Empress Fu has been married to him for many years, how could she not guess what was on his mind. In addition, Queen Fu is also a virtuous queen, so she naturally thinks about her husband everywhere. Therefore, after obtaining Chai Rong's consent, he decided to go out in person and make peace for the two.

According to the informant, it was probably at the beginning of this month that Empress Fu summoned the eighteenth sister into the palace. But the first did not let the eighteenth sister check her body, and the second did not entertain the eighteenth sister, but after going around a few circles and saying a few innocuous words, she began to test the eighteenth sister's feelings for Chai Rong. After determining that the eighteenth sister also had a good impression of Chai Rong, she proposed to her that Chai Rong wanted to accept her as a concubine. ”

"How did Sister Lin deal with it?" Zhang Xiaofei asked eagerly.

The eighteenth sister expressed her willingness on the spot. Zhang Weixin replied.
