Chapter 22: Goodbye to the King of Thieves
Gu Hao, the assassin of Youzhou, was in the prime of life, and rushed to Youzhou by the order of the imperial court many years ago, and joined forces with Jiedu to suppress the chaos, so that after Li Changfeng's death, Youzhou was no longer surnamed Wu, but surnamed Tang, which won the heart of the Tang Emperor, as if he had the posture of a prince, just waiting for the imperial court to order to return to Beijing again.

Over the years, under his operation, Youzhou City has been separated from Wuyou Wangfu little by little, and he has actually been able to extinguish the last trace of fire in Wuyou Wangfu, but the attitude of the imperial court is quite ambiguous, not only can not let the Youzhou general develop smoothly, but also have to leave room everywhere, so that Wuwangjun is quite influential in the border pass, but has to be under the command of An Dajiedu.
After the coarse tea and light meal, Gu Hao, who was full of heavenly court, walked slowly in the mansion, he had heard that his subordinates had reported the killing of Lei Xingguo, and he felt that it was so interesting, and the king of Wuyou, who had always been a scumbag, turned out to be a master, which made him very impressed!
"Li Jiangnan is no different from a puppet, today's behavior is very strange!" Gu Hao thought quietly, "The residual power of the Wuyou Palace, after all, is a hidden danger, the court won't let me move that general, but if the palace is in chaos, the border army will become a source of no water." After a slight pause, Gu Hao concluded, "Youzhou is safe." ”
At this time, a subordinate stepped forward, Bingming Ma Yousan was arrested, and briefly recounted the arrest process.
When listening, Gu Hao's complexion changed several times, he heard that Duan Pingsheng's palm was fierce, even the black-clothed head catcher Yuan Feiying was jealous, and immediately frowned, he buried more than one or two eyeliners in the palace, for five years, he always thought that King Wuyou was a powerless scholar, and he only took the desperate road of planting qi mud pills a few days ago, and today he can urge the palm wind, could it be that Li Changfeng left a testament and ordered his son to endure humiliation and accumulate thick burdens?
Hiss...... I don't understand, I don't understand
Gu Hao shook his head thoughtfully, he knew what General Youzhou was plotting, even if King Wuyou could escape the killing in front of him, he would not be able to escape the eternal separation of heaven and earth two years later. Gu Hao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is the door of the library closed?" ”
After receiving a positive response, Youzhou Thorn Shi immediately judged that Duan Pingsheng had nobles to help him, otherwise, with Li Jiangnan's temperament, why did he abruptly change his route to bury the book building first instead of paying tribute to Li Changfeng?
The subordinates continued to introduce the situation, Gu Hao was sometimes surprised and sometimes approving, and after listening to everything, he thought about it, his eyes flashed with essence, and he ordered: "You let Yuan Feiying interrogate Ma Yousan well, dig out everything that can be dug up, and strive to go to the palace to catch a few more people, and Lei Xingguo's embezzlement of ink and silver will also be investigated, doesn't Jia Longyang have evidence in his hand?" You Bingming Longmen Luo Longyu as soon as possible, let him send someone to contact Li Jiangnan, and if you have the conditions, you might as well agree to him, as long as you can make the palace chaotic and let the general worry about the rear. ”
"Yes, sir!" The subordinates immediately retired.
Gu Hao's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were full of hope: "Li Jiangnan, I hope you can go back again, it's best to stir up the last breath of this palace!" ”
Suddenly, Youzhou Thorn Shi looked up at the sky, felt more and more that the sun was hot, and sighed: "Alas, what are you always worried about other family affairs?" Let's think about how to deal with the victims from the north! ”
……
In the small courtyard of the palace, Duan Pingsheng sat and ate opposite the small stool, the previous meal was spilled on the ground, and the second housekeeper Cui Dongzhuang sent another one, because the mood of the small stool was always not high, Duan Pingsheng also ate tastelessly, and finally could only solemnly promise to find another academy, which made the little stool come back to his senses. However, the little guy was not immediately elated, but shook his head and refused: "Brother Jiangnan, the little stool doesn't want to go to the academy anymore, so he stays in the library and reads, it's good." ”
"The books in the library are all dead books, and the books outside the house are living books, I can lead you to the dead books to get started, but the living books must be found outside, and when you have read enough, you can come back and read the dead books in the house again." Duan Pingsheng was blunt, saying that the biggest concern of the small stool, "If you are worried that the money is not enough, you don't have to, even if I am down, I can give you the money for studying, besides, without me, there is still you Uncle Shen, he loves you more than me." ”
The little stool opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Duan Pingsheng: "As for the one surnamed Zhang, don't pay attention, no matter how deep his background is, we can always find a place to study, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind......"
After talking and stopping, the little stool finally nodded, but his eyes were full of apology, because Li Jiangnan had never hated comparing reading with money.
"Brother Jiangnan, I will definitely read it well, definitely."
The boy clenched his little fists, and Duan Pingsheng smiled very gratefully, he could understand Li Jiangnan's sympathy for the little stool, like a fallen person who snuggled up to each other to keep warm in a cold night.
"Good! Since the academy is on holiday for three days, let's take a good rest first, and I will personally take you to find another academy in the future. Duan Pingsheng waved his hand, full of pride, "Little stool, pen and ink waiting, our money-making plan has to rely on pen and hard work!" ”
"Okay!"
The little stool replied obediently and immediately ran to the study, and Duan Pingsheng followed behind, confident in his heart.
"Even if his Zhang family's hands and eyes are all over the sky, he can't stop me from giving you a copy of Zhu Zi's future!"
Half an hour later, Duan Pingsheng left the study alone, the little stool was still young, first beaten and then bullied, his energy had already been exhausted, and Duan fell asleep when he buried himself in writing. Putting it on the bed in the study, and looking at the quiet cheeks of the small stool, Duan Pingsheng put the package containing the evidence of Lei Xingguo's greed for ink into the Chonglou ring, picked up the two stacks of paper on the table and walked out of the door.
He first found Cui Dongzhuang and asked him to hand over the copied evidence of ink greed to the wicked woman Song Zhi, and then turned back to Jia Longyang's residence and saw the former guard commander who was boiling his body under the scorching sun. In front of Duan Pingsheng, Jia Longyang, who was on the back of a tiger, was like a small mountain, and between shouting and cheering, it seemed to be able to stir up gusts of wind, blowing Duan someone's eyes.
If it was in the past, Jia Longyang would have turned a blind eye when he saw Duan Pingsheng's arrival, but now the situation is different, and if he wants to turn over, he can only rely on this thin scholar who couldn't get into the eyes before, and respectfully called "Lord Wang", so that Duan can be useful.
Don't look at Jia Longyang's loss of power, but he said that life is still much more useful than the bald Zhou Tai, as long as it works properly, Duan Pingsheng is not unable to borrow his energy and argue with Song Zhi, he doesn't want to waste time, and expresses his meaning straight to the point: "Commander Jia, is the thief king still locked up in the dungeon?" ”
Jia Longyang was slightly stunned, looked at his own prince whose bearing had changed suddenly, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, it was locked up in the dungeon, and I wanted to transfer it to the government before, but on the grounds of inconvenience, I continued to detain it in the palace for the time being." ”
"Oh?" Duan Pingsheng felt that this matter was different, but he didn't think about it carefully, and continued to ask, "Can someone lynch the thief king?" ”
"Nope! The people on the other side of the government spoke, saying that there was a big man above who wanted to steal the king, so he had been eating and drinking well for the past few days. ”
"Hmm!" Duan Pingsheng was very satisfied with this, and if he didn't offend the thief king to death, the matter would be easier to do, and he asked one last question, "Does Commander Jia have an in-depth understanding of the thief king?" ”
Jia Longyang didn't know what Duan Pingsheng was having, and with the details he noticed when he was guarding the thief king in recent days, he replied: "The thief king's health is not very good, he always coughs, and his expression is worse than that of ordinary martial arts practitioners. ”
Duan Pingsheng said in his heart that Han Xiao really didn't lie to him, the thief king came to the palace to use the "Body Refining Book" to dissolve the fork he made when he practiced, so in this way, the silver dilemma of the palace is not an unsolvable problem! He said confidently: "Trouble Commander Jia to lead the way, this king wants to meet this famous thief king in person!" ”
The dungeon of the palace was not deep, at least the place where the thief king was held was far from the eerie horror, it was extremely clean, and the air was filled with the fragrance of hay, and there was not the slightest smell of rancidity. Xu Boda, who was escorted back to the palace, was locked in another dungeon, and Duan Pingsheng didn't have time to deal with him for the time being, so he went straight to the place where the king was robbed. The guards guarding the dungeon did not dare to stop them, but after the two entered the dungeon, someone immediately went to ventilate and report the news.
Seeing the thief king who seemed to have four eyebrows again, Duan Pingsheng couldn't help but look for Han Xiao's shadow from his face, this famous figure in the rivers and lakes actually had a great relationship with Biluo Villa in Jiangnan Province, if it weren't for Han Xiao being too tender, how could he know such secrets?
After a few days, the thief king's bearing did not change, even though his limbs were sealed with iron locks and hung in the air, he was still calm and calm, closing his eyes and contemplating. Jia Longyang was instructed to know that the prince had something important to discuss, so he immediately guarded the dungeon to prevent someone from eavesdropping.
"Miss Han Xiao is still used to staying in the mansion these days, please don't worry about the thief king." Duan Pingsheng was the first to speak, but he couldn't make the thief king open his eyes, but he said, "At this juncture, you actually chose to plant qi mud pills, should I say that your courage is commendable?" Or is it self-defeating? ”
Duan stood with his hands in his hands: "The answer will not be known until two years later!" ”
"Not necessarily! You won't be able to get through this hurdle in front of you. The King of Thieves replied leisurely.
With a cold expression, Duan Pingsheng muttered that the king of thieves was so powerful and knew the secret of the wedding?
"Half a month ago, there was news of the reappearance of the "Body Refining Book" on the rivers and lakes, and I also began to inquire in many ways from that time, knowing that this strange book has been hidden in your Wuyou Palace, I think I can find out, and others will not be bad." The words of the thief king made Duan Pingsheng know that he had misunderstood, but he paid more attention to it, "I am not the first to sneak into the palace, and I am by no means the last, if it weren't for the masters in your palace to capture me and temporarily deter the people of the rivers and lakes, maybe you would have been in peace for the past few days." ”
In the words of the thief king, what made Duan Pingsheng care most about was the spread time of this news, half a month ago, it happened to be the general in the mansion, and the day when he accompanied the An Dajie envoy to the north to fight against the Khitan, could it be, what is the connection?
Not only that, Duan Pingsheng has always wondered why there is news of the appearance of the "Refining Body Book", you must know that after he got this book, he began to block the news, and he did not leave a suicide note for his descendants before he died, but now he was stabbed by someone, which can't help but make him strange. Moreover, the task of the second ring is to reverse the prestige, which just shows that someone is slandering his name in Youzhou City.
Duan Pingsheng's eyes moved slightly.
It seems that there are people who want to kill people with a knife!
