Since Yang Fan was taken to Longqing Pond by Liu Yitian to recuperate, this small island, which has always been deserted and lonely, has become lively, and people visit the island almost every day.

Longqing Pond is a lake in the city, and there is a small island on the lake, there is a hectare of water in the island, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, the environment is quiet, it is indeed a blessed place of self-cultivation.

Yang Fan was sitting on the edge of the pool at this time, holding a purple bamboo fishing rod in his hand, leisurely fishing fish, the water surface was sparkling, and the fish drift was undulating, revealing a lazy atmosphere, and the warm spring breeze was intoxicating.

When Zheng Yu saw Yang Fan, Yang Fan was sitting in a delicately made wheelchair, the fishing rod was inserted in the gap of the handrail, the wheelchair was parked under a weeping willow, and Yang Fan was lying on his back in the wheelchair and was sleeping leisurely. The curling branches turned into thousands of soft paths with tender yellow and new green, gently fluttering on his shoulders, which looked quite dusty.

The green willow hangs down, there is a stone platform with an ancient shape under the willow, there are three cups of tea on the stone platform, exuding a curling aroma.

Yang Fan sat in a wheelchair, sitting with Shen Mu and Zheng Yu in a zigzag shape around the stone platform, just like a three-legged stand.

Shen Mu picked up a cup of golden buttery tea soup, sniffed it under his nose, and said with a smile: "Erlang also likes to drink tea now, huh...... It's still the original tea soup that is evocative. ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "This kind of drinking method, the younger brother still learned from Brother Shen, originally Yang has always been respectful of tea, since he learned Brother Shen's method of tasting tea, only to realize the taste of this tea." ”

Shen Mu smiled and said to Zheng Yu: "Brother Zheng, please, you can also taste it." The tea you drink is too much of a variety of condiments, which hides the true color of tea, in my opinion, tea has to taste like this. The tongue is full of relish, and the aftertaste is sweet. ”

Zheng Yu picked up the teacup, took a perfunctory sip, and touched it carefully, which was really a unique taste. It's just that Zheng Yu doesn't know the taste of food now, let alone drinking tea. But as soon as Shen Mu came, he and Yang Fan's parents got short, and then the two talked about the tea ceremony, and Zheng Yu had to sit patiently on the side, listening to their gossip with or without a match.

At this time, the situation was roughly similar to when Yang Fan and Shen Mu Luoyang met. The difference is that this time the third party was replaced by Cui Lin and Zheng Yu.

After chatting casually, Shen Mucai straightened his face and said with concern: "On the way back from Luoyang, Shen heard about Erlang's assassination. Fortunately, Erlang Ji was able to escape. Jiro. It's not for my brother to say you. Your status is very different from the past, the handsome and the general have their own responsibilities, and you shouldn't do everything yourself. ”

Yang Fan said lightly: "This time it's not that the younger brother is in danger lightly, the younger brother led hundreds of armor soldiers to Yingyu Shitai and the officials of the Criminal Department to the Qianqi camp, who expected that someone would use a military crossbow and openly assassinate on Suzaku Street." How do you let your little brother guard against such a danger? Could it be that the little brother has been stuck at home since then and will not go anywhere? ”

Zheng Yu said uneasily: "Erlang, Zheng is about to talk to you about this matter." After the assassination of Erlang Changjie. The officials and gentry of Chang'an were shocked, such a lawless act had never happened in Chang'an......"

Yang Fan looked up to the sky and said sadly: "According to what you say, it was Yang who came to Chang'an and provoked the anger of the heavens and the resentment, which forced people to take risks?" ”

Zheng Yu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Erlang and don't be angry, please listen to Zheng's explanation, because this kind of thing has never happened in Chang'an, so the Chang'an gentry are shocked, after Zheng heard the news, he immediately arranged for someone to start an investigation, hoping to find out the real culprit." ”

Yang Fan stared at him and said, "Then can you find out the real murderer?" ”

Zheng Yu choked and said embarrassedly: "There are no clues so far......"

Yang Fan smiled, Zheng Yu frowned and said: "Zheng Mou did use a large number of people to verify this matter, but the whereabouts of those people with military crossbows are also secretive, they appeared like a shock on Suzaku Street, and then disappeared completely, which is really strange." Zheng suspected that they were Wu Yizong's people. ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "It can't be someone from Wu Yizong!" ”

Zheng Yu's eyes froze, and he hurriedly asked, "How is Erlang so sure?" ”

Yang Fan said slowly: "Because, Wu Yizong has always been my opponent!" I've always been on guard against him, and if it were him, I wouldn't have been unaware of it beforehand, and I wouldn't have been able to find the slightest clue afterwards. ”

Zheng Yu's brows tightened even tighter, and he said in a deep voice: "But Zheng can also be sure that these people who use these military crossbows and military crossbows are definitely not a certain family in Shandong, nor are they any officials and gentry in Chang'an!" ”

Yang Fan leaned over slightly and said coldly, "Can you be sure?" ”

Zheng Yu nodded without hesitation: "I can be sure!" ”

Yang Fan said solemnly: "What if your verification is wrong? ”

Zheng Yu raised his eyebrows and said: "If the murderer is really a certain family or a certain powerful person in Chang'an, once Erlang finds evidence, then let Erlang dispose of it, and we will never interfere in the slightest!" ”

"A gentleman's word?"

"Whip the horse!"

"Alright, alright!"

Shen Mu came out to play a round and said, "Don't argue about it." The murderer who assassinated Erlang must not be let go, and since Shen is back, he will also use my manpower to thoroughly investigate this matter, so as to give Erlang justice. However, the top priority is how to solve the current situation in Chang'an. ”

Shen Mu's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The situation in Chang'an is very serious at the moment. The turmoil on the Ba Shang affected Cao Yun and attracted the attention of the empress, and your assassination made the empress even more furious. The empress is about to move the capital, and she has been away from Chang'an for more than 20 years, and she does not know the current situation in Chang'an, all relying on local reports.

Hearing all this news in her ears one by one, what would the empress think? Is Chang'an officialdom already rotten? Is there already bandits rampant in Chang'an? Lawlessness, contempt for official law and imperial power? When the emperor is angry, he will never be afraid of blood, and our empress is especially not afraid of killing!

Although the emperor's intention was to rectify Guanzhong, not to target the family, the interests of each family and the officialdom of Chang'an were one and shared weal and woe. Once the emperor settles his heart to cleanse Guanzhong, the painstaking management of all families in Guanzhong for many years will be ruined, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The two sects of Xianyin were born because of the family, and they are attached to the family, with the same root and the same fate, and many interests are not separated from the families. ”

What Shen Mu said was sincere, and Zheng Yu nodded again and again when he heard it.

Yang Fan disagreed, and said, "That's why the two of you are visiting today, right?" But what do you want Yang to stop? I'm recuperating from my injuries and I'm confined to a wheelchair for three to five months, what can I do about military affairs? ”

Zheng Yu said happily: "Erlang only needs to have this thought." Zheng's jihua is like this, Brother Shen secretly connected with the local gentry of Chang'an, wine and wealth, and used several prongs to envelop the new Qincha Zhang Changzong, and at the same time mobilize all parties in the court to persuade the Son of Heaven to change his mind.

Erlang has a certain connection with the most powerful Wu clan, the Li clan, and the Zhang clan, and he also asks Erlang to come forward and exert influence on them, I believe that as long as Erlang is willing to mediate, whether it is the situation in the court or this Zhang Qincha, the attitude will be greatly improved. ”

Yang Fan let out a noncommittal "oh", and Zheng Yu saw that he was not enthusiastic, and glanced at Shen Mu for help.

Shen Mu coughed and said, "Since Lu Binmi left Chang'an, the two most important trade routes in Chang'an have been in the hands of my Yin Sect. It's better to be like this, the business travel from the Western Regions and from the Central Plains are all bounded by Chang'an, and the business travel from the Western Regions ends in Chang'an, which belongs to my Yin Sect. Further east, all the benefits will be enjoyed by you.

The same is true of the Central Plains business travel, which comes to Chang'an from the Central Plains and is enjoyed by your ancestors. From Chang'an to the west, it will be enjoyed by my hidden sect. And Chang'an City is a place where you and I share together. As for the interests of the family, we are both responsible for fifty percent, what do you think? ”

Yang Fan applauded and smiled: "Brother Shen is really calculating, now the younger brother is the prime minister of Caoyun, and the business fortune is driven by Caoyun, and the eastern trade route was originally in the pocket of the younger brother, if you don't want to pay it, you have to pay it, and now Brother Shen has generously given it to the younger brother, and the younger brother has to accept your affection." ”

Shen Mu's old face flushed, he groaned slightly, and gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, the Chang'an workshop industry was originally controlled by my Yin Sect, and among the various workshops in Chang'an, we directly or indirectly control at least seventy percent, and I will take out half of it and hand it over to your Xianzong, how about it?" ”

Yang Fan glanced at him and said: "Brother Shen thinks that Chang'an is expensive to artificial, and now he is building various workshops in Meiyuan, Pizhou, Qizhou, and Longzhou, you don't think that the younger brother doesn't know anything about it, right?" ”

Shen Mu said angrily: "Erlang, the two lines of salt and wine are both profiteering, and these two lines are in the hands of your Xianzong, isn't this enough?" Is it possible for me to give up all the benefits of the Yin Sect to you? ”

Zheng Yu smiled bitterly: "Two, once the boat capsizes, everyone will be finished together." Now that everyone is in the same boat, we should still be in the same boat, and we must not tear each other down! ”

Yang Fan said: "Brother Zheng's words are wrong. Externally, everyone naturally has the same interests, but when it comes to the specific families, don't you have your own plans? Brother Zheng is the Xingyang Zheng family, if the Xingyang Zheng family and the Longxi Li family have a conflict of interest, which side will you stand on? If you blindly make peace and make too many concessions, will the Zheng family agree? ”

Shen Mu sighed and said, "Shen Mou is not like this, he asked me to make too many concessions, and Shen Mou can't explain to his brothers!" ”

Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "That's it!" Zheng also understands the difficulties of the two, so let's do it, in order for the two of them to have an explanation to their subordinates, Zheng Mou's generation of the major families promised you, every three years, we will provide seven Guozijian places to the Xianyin Second Sect, and three of them must be guaranteed to enter Taixue, and one person must be guaranteed to enter Guozixue, so it's always okay, right? ”
