Chapter 31: The Old Fox's Tail

Tang Xuanlin listened a little unreally, raised one eyebrow and asked, "What?" ”

Bu Tong only felt that his eyes were a little blurry, the dilapidated tea pavilion on the outskirts of the city, the person who held his body and fell into big teardrops, and the person who knelt down in front of everyone without hesitation not long ago, slowly coincided, I don't know when, Bu Tong said slowly, "Fortunately, I met you early this time." ”

I met early, and then I got involved in those deceitful things, even if it was a change, but when I think of him, I will always feel at ease.

Tang Xuanlin gently pressed Butong's hand, his eyebrows and eyes were warm,

"Tong'er, Xuanlin is so lucky to be treated well by you in this life."

What he said was too affectionate, Bu Tong was a little in a trance, but he still held Tang Xuanlin's hand tightly, no matter what, it is not easy to rely on each other now.

After all, who has a chance to live again?

……

When the fetters slowly dispersed, Bu Tong looked at Tang Xuanlin's relaxed appearance,

"I promised General Lie to meet in three days, but what clues are there?"

Tang Xuanlin shook his head, "That's not true, isn't it Tong'er who said that the bottom of the kettle will draw salary, start with Zhenguo Gong first?" ”

Bu Tong was dumbfounded,

"That's just an idea, which clue to start with, do you have any plans?"

Tang Xuanlin was also stunned for a moment, "I haven't planned it yet." ”

Bu Tong was helpless for a while, and then he spoke, "You are really, believe me." ”

Tang Xuanlin smiled, his narrow eyes also had a bright smile,

"Nature."

said that one was so straightforward that Rang Tong wanted to talk about him, but he was embarrassed to speak.

Gently shaking your head,

"The son of Zhenguogong, although he is not very good, is the only son of Zhenguogong after all, I see, Zhenguogong doesn't seem to hide anything from him."

Tang Xuanlin smiled,

"Understood, I'll find a reason to detain him for interrogation when I go back, and the pampered son-in-law will definitely not be able to resist those punishments, so I'll induce him to say it."

Butong nodded,

"Zhenguo Gong hopes to show his face at the Six Princes to be reused, and help the people of his faction to seize the military power of the following war tigers, this time it must be thoughtful and appropriate, Zhenguo Gongfu has commanded the western border army for generations, and the ability to lead troops and train generals should not be underestimated, and everything is careful."

Tang Xuanlin responded,

"In the end, it is my family Tong'er, who is superior to himself, once the team hidden by Zhenguo Gong is found, it is intended to subvert the dynasty, so the evidence is conclusive, firstly, to protect the ordinary people in Kyoto City, and secondly, to suppress the arrogance of the military department and find out the flaws."

Bu Tong said again and again, "Xuanlin understands my mind." ”

Not only that, Sun Qingshan of the military department has a deep foundation, but in fact, it seems that he has a lot of power, but in fact, the military power is divided by all parties, mainly Lie Zhanhu and Beiguo Gong, and Sun Qingshan is not in his eyes at all, and now the military department is the first to take a stand on Mu Hequan's side, and getting rid of him is naturally the first step.

"Then let's arrange it like this for the time being," Bu Tong got up lightly and went to add tea to Tang Xuanlin,

"Starting from the Zhenguo Gong, open up the conspiracy of the military department, so people who do not put His Majesty's imperial power in their eyes, they don't have to stay, and it is easier to purge the generals, so that they can also stand up for Dongchang, so that Your Majesty believes that the sword in his hand is sharp, so that Dongchang can slowly develop."

Tang Xuanlin's phoenix eyes, deep and quiet, fell straight on Bu Tong's face, without the anger in the daytime, but it was also complicated and impenetrable, making people unable to understand, Bu Tong saw that he had not responded, and then asked,

"What's wrong?"

Tang Xuanlin retracted his inexplicable gaze and shook his head,

"It's okay, I just think that Tong'er's plan is very long-term, you just believe in me so much, I believe that Dongchang can continue to develop without being cut in half?"

Bu Tong smiled and reached out to hold his face,

"I believe that the future of Dongchang must be the existence of everyone who is frightened and heard, only in this way can we continue to survive, and can we assist His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and ascend to the throne of the crown prince."

Tang Xuanlin didn't get much excited when he heard this, he only smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth,

"That's true, if you can't do that highest position, I'm afraid that you will soon be crushed to death by those parties who have lost power."

Bu Tong agrees with this statement, "The law of the jungle has been like this since ancient times, not to mention that every action you make will damage their helpers, and it will naturally become a thorn in everyone's side." ”

Tang Xuanlin gently drank a sip of tea,

"It's not uncommon for me to make friends with those people, and it's good to be a single outside."

Bu Tong looked at his usual calm appearance, and there was no slightest wave in his heart,

"This is where the strife begins."

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Bu Tong took Chun Tao and two family members to the Lao Fu Teahouse, the shopkeeper saw Bu Tong coming, and was ready to open the largest private room with a smile, but Bu Tong waved his hand, chose the most marginal one, basically could not see the stage in the building, just opened the window, and the scenery on the bank of the river was in full view.

Chun Tao sat opposite Butong, peeled the water chestnut shell at once, and neatly stacked the white and tender meat on a small plate in front of Butong, "Miss, I came to the teahouse early this morning, if Mama Chang knew it in the morning, I would have to punish you for copying books when I went back." ”

Butong's eyes lingered on the morning market next to the riverbank, and it was really lively.

"It's okay, Mama ate some wine last night, and she won't get up early today, so let's go back early."

Chun Tao also felt justified when she heard this, and immediately relieved, "Which play is Miss going to listen to today, Chun Tao will go to the shopkeeper." ”

Bu Tong shook his head and motioned to Chun Tao to look outside, "There's a good show here." ”

Chun Tao didn't understand, but she still followed patiently, and when she was bored, she lowered her head and continued to peel water chestnuts.

The morning market in Kyoto City is dispersed when the sun rises, and after half a cup of tea, there are only a few stalls left along the bustling riverbank, shouting to buy the last bit of crucian carp caught in the river.

A hurried sound of horses' hooves broke the comfort and tranquility of this side, and immediately a few drunken sons came down and shouted at the fisherman, "Give this son an eight-pound one, go back to stew soup and drink." ”

The fisherman stood up tremblingly, leaned over and smiled, "My lord, there are no such big fish in the river now, the morning market is almost over, and there are only some small fish left, you see......"

The crucian carp in the basket was only the size of a palm, and the shouting son looked displeased, and was even more arrogant and unreasonable, "You Diao Min, didn't you deliberately mock me?" What kind of is to fool Young Master Ben? ”

Where has the fisherman seen such a battle, he was suddenly frightened, and the whole person trembled, "My lord, my lord is wronged, now there are really no big fish in the river, although these crucian carp are small, but they are all fat and tender, and the soup stewed by the cook is the most delicious when I go home." ”

The person who spoke was unrelenting, and took a few steps forward with a slight fumbality and picked up the fisherman's collar, "Diao Min's mouth is slippery, doesn't it mean that I only deserve to eat such broken fish and shrimp?" Do you know who I am? My dad is a dignified town! ”

A young fisherman on the side couldn't help but speak, "The Zhenguo Mansion has been loyal and martyred for generations, and now the military power is gone, and the little grandfather Xie is so oppressive of the people, but he wants to bury the reputation left by the old man." ”

Hearing this, Bu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head and smiled secretly, Tang Xuanlin's person, when he spoke, he hit the sore spot directly.

Chun Tao looked over with a bun face, "Miss, I'm afraid that this person who is talking is going to suffer, should we go down and help solve the siege?" Xie Ting is very arrogant. ”

Bu Tong waved her hand to sit down, and ate a piece of water chestnut sweetly, "The show is coming soon." ”

Xie Ting was really annoyed, and instructed the three or two families behind him to step forward and take down the young man, and spit on his face arrogantly, "What are you?" Dare to mention my father, mention my grandfather! Don't say that the military power is in or not, loyalty to Your Majesty is the right way, my Zhenguo Mansion has been loyal to the Holy Lord for generations, if it weren't for the war tiger who took away the military power, why should Your Majesty be anxious for that minister, stay until His Royal Highness the Sixth is the prince, and my Xie family will take back the military power, and then you Diao people will take a good look at what is called Zhenguo Mansion! ”

As soon as such a rebellious remark came out, the originally sparse crowd dispersed, and a group of people in brocade clothes stepped forward with swords.

"Bold fanatics, disturbing the people on the street, making insulting remarks, vainly trying to subvert, follow us back to interrogate!"

Chun Tao's eyes widened and looked out, and she turned back and reported to Butong vaguely with excitement,

"Miss, it seems to be Jinyiwei."

Bu Tong knocked on the table and glanced at it indifferently,

"The water chestnut has been eaten up, come back and continue peeling."

Xie Ting looked at these people with disdain, "Heh, people from Dongchang, you guys are a fart, get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

The person at the head was upright, looking at him neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Gongzi Xie, at this time, I am afraid that you will have to go back to Dongchang to explain clearly." ”

Xie Ting ignored the obstruction of the family behind him, and shouted loudly and insulted, "That Tang Xuanlin is a gelding dog, and his dog minions dare to touch me!" Shaft! My father is the prince of Zhenguo, I am the little grandfather of the prince of Zhenguo, the right-hand man of His Royal Highness of the Sixth Highness in the future, you dare to touch me! Believe it or not in the future, the guy surnamed Tang will have to come and shine my shoes! ”

The brocade envoy sneered, "Gongzi Xie's words, you have to remember them when you wake up, now that Your Majesty is here, how can there be any His Highness next to him who needs Gongzi's loyalty, such a rebellious words, how can I tolerate you, come and take it!" ”

Jin Yiwei stepped forward, who would have thought that the three family members also took out their swords and glared angrily, "This is the little grandfather of the Zhenguo Mansion, you dare to make a mistake!" ”

Bu Tong turned Chun Tao's face back, "Don't look at it, I forgot the last time I was in the alley, and I was so scared that I couldn't eat for two days after returning home." ”

Chun Tao came back obediently and peeled the water chestnut, "You can't kill him, this is the son of the Zhenguo Mansion." ”

Downstairs came a cold sentence from the brocade envoy, "I don't know whether I live or die." ”

Then there were a few muffled sounds of falling to the ground, Bu Tong turned his head to see, the three family members were in different places, leaving only one Xie Ting, covered with splashed blood, frightened by this scene, staggered to the side of the horse, kept chattering, "No, you can't kill me, I am the little grandfather of Zhenguo, I want to see the Sixth Highness, what about the Sixth Highness?" ……”

The man commanded in a deep voice, "Take people away, don't let him continue to talk nonsense, clean up this place, and don't delay the villagers to do business in the future." ”

Immediately, the two of them grabbed Xie Ting and gagged their mouths, and then they took out a silver ingot from their cuffs and handed it to the fisherman on the side, "Don't panic the old man, Jinyi Wei acts, and I hope to avoid it in the future." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked straight at Bu Tong, saluted slightly, and then turned his head to leave, and the rest of the people moved away the body neatly, and carried water to splash the blood on the ground, and the brocade guards left quickly, as if nothing had happened, Bu Tong looked around, and the young man who was "righteous and insistent" was also gone.

Sure enough, Tang Xuanlin's shot has always been so direct and clean.

Chun Tao finished peeling a plate of water chestnuts and pushed it to Butong, and when he turned his head and went out, he was already shocked that nothing had happened, "Miss, this, is this the end?" ”

Butong got up and smiled easily and brightly,

"This grabbed the man's little tail, and the rest of the matter is much simpler, let's go back to the house first."

Chun Tao glanced back unsatisfied, and was chattering all the way, "Master Tang's subordinates are quite imposing, I originally thought that he used some ordinary white clothes, and he had to look at the faces of those nobles when he walked." ”

Listening to Chun Tao's appreciative words, Bu Tong was suddenly in a happy mood,

"It's these people who are obviously full of talent but can't be reused just because of their background, and now they have a place to show their talents, so they work extra hard, and whether a person can be used well has nothing to do with their background, and appointing people on the basis of merit should be like this."
