Chapter Twenty-Five: The Inn Plans to Reward the Phoenix Talisman

Jiangdu, Tiancheng Inn.

Yi Xue, Murong Jia, and Gu Rong returned to the inn from the Zhifeng Tea Workshop, and followed Sima Jingwen to his Tianzi room.

Zhou Rong, Xiu Wuji, and Qinghu each went back to their rooms and secretly paid attention to the situation downstairs.

Yi Xue will meet Pang Qing and talk to everyone about it, and the three of them are all amazed after hearing it.

Although he did not seek the phoenix talisman this time, Pang Qing put forward the direction and suggestions for everyone to investigate the case, which was admirable, and Pang Qing's attitude surprised the three of them.

Sima Jingwen said appreciatively: "This owner Pang Qingzhen is worthy of being the descendant of the phoenix, this person has hills and valleys in his chest, mountains and rivers in his eyes, and his talent and wisdom are extraordinary." ”

"Therefore, we must spread the word about the bounty phoenix talisman before Cha Yong comes." Easy snow trails.

"It is estimated that Cha Yong will reply soon, such a big business, he should not let it go!" Gu Rong said.

"I'm taking the name of Director Wang, if he doesn't even do such a business, then he won't be the helmsman of the Huaicao Twelve Hall."

Everyone is optimistic about the progress of the case.

As he was talking, Wuji came in: "Lord Wang, the inn junior second came to pass the word, and the guys from the rice shop came to find Wang Gongzi and Mr. Gu." ”

"Haha, look at it, it's coming!" Gu Rong said and went downstairs with a smile.

I saw the man who checked the record stepped forward and saluted: "Your honor, my shopkeeper sent me to reply to the meeting with the owner." ”

"How do you arrange it?"

The man replied respectfully: "Three days later, our host will have a banquet for your nobles in Yuxiang Building. ”

Gu Rong responded kindly: "I know, reply to Shopkeeper Xu, my son-in-law will go to the appointment on time." After saying that, he took half a penny and rewarded the guy, and the guy thanked him and left with a smile.

Gu Rong returned upstairs, and before he could speak, Murong Jia asked anxiously, "How is it, are you sure when you will see you?" ”

"Three days later, Yuxiang Building, Cha Yong is in for a treat."

Sima Jingwen's face was satisfied when he heard this: "It seems that this Wang Dao's famous thorn is still very effective, so we have to plan well." ”

"Yes, Master Pang Zhuang suggested that we offer a reward for the phoenix talisman, and this matter must be spread within three days."

After Yi Xue finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Gu Rong: "I'm afraid this matter is going to bother Lord Gu's Suyi Sect." ”

"This matter is not difficult, I immediately sent an order to the messenger in plain clothes, and the news that King Langya sent someone to Luofeng Villa, and now the matter of rewarding the phoenix talisman has spread in Jiangdu." Gu Rong said.

"Since you are making a show, you still need to do enough, Master Gu will arrange for someone to bid for the phoenix talisman in his hand and contact the envoy of King Langya."

Sima Jingwen nodded and said: "Well, this arrangement is very good, since Luofeng Villa is where Mu Gongzi went, then Mu Gongzi will continue to reward Fengfu in the Jiangzuo area in the past few days." ”

"Well, leave this matter to me, in order to avoid Cha Yong sending someone to investigate the void, it is inconvenient for Tiancheng Inn to live anymore, and I need to find another inn tomorrow." Yi Xue nodded.

Sima Jingwen nodded: "Many people know that there is a cultivator Wujian by my side, in order to make it more similar, let Wuji be with you." ”

At this time, Murong Jia thought of Long Si, and he said thoughtfully: "Looking at today's situation, this Long Si should be a person from Luofeng Villa. ”

Yi Xue nodded: "Senior Brother Murong is right, judging from the straightforward attitude of the owner of the village today, as well as the reaction of Guan Lao who I tested, this Long Si must be from Luofeng Villa." ”

"And it's definitely not an ordinary phoenix envoy, at least it should be at the elder level," Murong Jia added.

"In addition to Elder Feng Zhi who brought me today, there are three other elders, I don't know how many elders there are in Luofeng Villa." Yi Xue said.

"As far as I know, there are only four elders in this Luofeng Villa, and Miss Yi Xue has seen them all today, this Dragon Four should not be an elder." Gu Rong continued.

"Regardless of the identity of this Long Si for the time being, if you think about it carefully, Long Si's suggestion is the same as that of the owner Pang Qing, in addition to tracking down the grain, I'm afraid I will have to check the grain." Easy snow trails.

"It's just that Empress Jia ordered me to investigate the case of Yin soldiers borrowing grain, but she didn't let me interfere in Yangzhou's grain collection. Now Li Zhaozai is in charge of Yangzhou's grain requisition, and we need to investigate the grain requisition, and we also need to be well-known, so we must not act hastily in this matter. Sima Jingwen said.

When Yi Xue heard Li Zhao's name, her heart couldn't help but be depressed, and her brows suddenly frowned, with hatred in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said: "Then we have to go to check the grain, I have been waiting for this opportunity for five years, and this time I will definitely make Li Zhao, a thief, the head." Yang Zheng has been secretly following Li Zhao all these years, and Yang Zheng has found out that this Li Zhao is the tyrant who was the victim back then. ”

Sima Jingwen and Gu Rong couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Yi Xue's words, Gu Rong said: "That Gao Ba was a famous Jiangyang thief in Jingzhou and even in the south of the Yangtze River back then, and it was your father who personally arrested him back then, and I heard that he had already been poisoned to death in the prison by revenge before the execution. ”

"This Li Zhao became a high-ranking tyrant, which is Shi Chong's masterpiece." So Yi Xue told Shi Chong how to steal beams and change pillars, and how Gao Ba became Li Zhao to join the army.

Sima Jingwen and Gu Rong only understood why Li Zhaogan was the pioneer to frame the Yang family and killed Yang Xian, thinking of the Yang family, Sima Jingwen's face couldn't help but show a look of depression.

After listening to Yi Xue's words, Murong Jia felt sad when he saw Yi Xue's tightly knit brows and red eyes, and stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder and comforted: "It's easy to kill people, but it's hard to punish your heart, and some truths must be known to the world." Don't worry, this time I will definitely let Li Zhao and others ambush me, since Long Si reminded us to investigate the matter of collecting grain, I have been thinking about how to act, and I already have an idea at the moment. ”

Yi Xue listened to Murong Jia's words, her brows relaxed, and she asked, "Senior brother, what should we do?" ”

Murong Jia pointed at Gu Rong and said, "This matter still has to bother Lord Gu's Suyi Sect." Arrange for some peasant households to come to the Jiangdu Prefecture to report the grain requisition, especially if their family members have been arrested or killed, and they should be bitterly exposed to the corruption in the grain requisition, and Cha Yong should also know about this. ”

Gu Rong suddenly brightened up when he heard this, nodded and said, "Prince Murong's plan is feasible, arrange for the bitter lord to bitterly report the grain collection fraud case, and make the farmers make trouble." ”

Sima Jingwen also agreed: "That's right, not only to break Zha Yong's idea of relying on the stone calendar, but also to give Zha Yong another hope to find another backer, Wang Dao's identity is enough to make Zha Yong have illusions, Murong Jia will go with me to see Zha Yong, your identity as the prince of Murong plus 100,000 stone grain, the temptation of Zha Yong is not shallow, this Zha Yong must put aside the stone calendar, Shi Chong." ”

Yi Xue listened to the words of the three of them, and the dullness in her heart was much soothed, and she asked Gu Rong, "Lord Gu, where is Li Zhao collecting grain now?" ”

Gu Rong said: "When we arrived in Jianye, Li Zhao was in Danyang County, and now Li Zhao should have arrived in Wu County, these three Wu areas are the places he focuses on supervising, and he did not come to Jiangdu in person, but only sent subordinate officials." ”

"Wherever Li Zhao goes, the people's grievances must be worse than Jiangdu, Lord Gu not only arranges for the sufferers of Jiangdu, but also wants to make Li Zhao's side make trouble, and make things bigger, I will send Zhou Rong and the plain-clothed messenger to meet with Yang Zheng to see if Yang Zheng can find out the evidence." Yi Xue said.

"That's right, only if Li Zhao makes a fuss, King Langya can supervise in the name of General Anton, if it's just Jiangdu making trouble, Li Zhao, Shi Li and others only need to push the matter to the subordinate officials, saying that this is a collusion between the supervision officer and the magistrate, he only needs to take the initiative to bear the responsibility for improper employment, and Shi Li, Shi Chong and others will inevitably cooperate with him to get out." Gu Rong echoed.

"So we must make the matter bigger first, the more fierce the trouble, the better, it is best to make trouble until Li Zhao asks Shi Li for help and sends troops to suppress it, as long as Shi Li sends troops, it will make trouble in the court, and if you want to make trouble, you must send someone to come forward."
