Chapter 217: Clearly pretending to be confused
The soft soles of the feet landed on the shiny floor, as light and silent as a cat.
Jiang Banxia looked around, the pine wooden windows were pasted with gold window paper, and through the candlelight, the golden scales reflected on the roof.
Surrounded by rosin wood, luxury details can be seen in the understated area.
"On the guest's side." The slender man knelt on the ground and slowly opened the wooden door, and inside was a cubicle, and two figures were faintly imprinted on the screen.
Jiang Banxia bypassed the screen, and saw the main person sitting opposite the low table, empty and empty, as if the two figures on the screen just now were just an illusion.
She looked at Meng Zhuzhou without a trace, the other party was wearing a jacket in early spring, her lips were pale, and her expression was languid, like a sick seedling with an incurable disease.
Meng Zhuzhou coughed twice, and he asked Jiang Banxia to sit down.
Jiang Banxia's expression was calm, but she couldn't help but start muttering in her heart, she was sure that she would never know the sick young man in front of her, but this person seemed to know her.
In this situation of unequal information, she is the inferior party, first of all, she does not know what conspiracy the other party has, and secondly, she is not sure to what extent the other party knows her.
"The contemptible surname is Mengzi Zhuzhou." Meng Zhuzhou chuckled and said, "It's abrupt to invite Miss Jiang to come without permission." ”
Meng Zhuzhou bit the word 'girl' very hard, which made Jiang Banxia's face change instantly.
Just now she speculated in her heart that the other party might be trying to trick her, so now she is sure that this sick man surnamed Meng is prepared.
Jiang Banxia smiled: "Bamboo Boat Boy, what does this mean?" ”
"It's hot in the summer, Miss Jiang has worked hard all the way, drink a cup of tea first and relax." Meng Zhuzhou poured tea without hurry.
What he gave Jiang Banxia was clear tea, and there were only tea leaves in the teacup and no other bits and pieces.
Jiang Banxia didn't take the cup, she said directly: "If the prince of Zhuzhou has anything to say, spread it out." ”
"Miss Jiang is really bold." Meng Zhuzhou was not annoyed, but said to Jiang Banxia in a gentle voice: "Miss Jiang is quick to talk, and she will be straight down, and I invite Miss Jiang to come today for only one thing, that is, the riots on the border of Liaodong last winter." ”
The border of Liaodong is located in the northeast of Daming, the former dynasty retreated to the outside of the pass, and the Northern Yuan forces have been wandering in the Liaodong region, which is the Northern Yuan forces of Lin Yu, and the imperial court has sent heavy troops to Liaodong for many years.
After a hundred years of Daming, the power of the Northern Yuan Dynasty decreased, but the Jurchen tribe of Liaodong rose, and in the early spring, Zhang Yi'an, the Marquis of Taiping, was sent to Liaodong by Emperor Qingwen to resist the Jurchens.
Jiang Banxia couldn't understand what Meng Zhuzhou and her Liaodong border riots meant.
"Since Taizu, the attitude of the imperial court towards the various ministries in Liaodong is that those who are willing to submit to the province will be awarded the title of head, given mutual favors, and rewarded year after year." Meng Zhuzhou said slowly: "To exchange tea for horses, and opening the border market is also a means to maintain border stability. ”
"Still." Meng Zhuzhou's words changed: "On the surface, these things are a means to contain the border ministries in eastern Liaodong, but in fact, they are loopholes on the inside, and whether they can be effectively suppressed depends on the ability and sufficient interests of the governor guarding the border." ”
Jiang Banxia listened carefully, at present, she only knew one thing about Da Ming's situation, and Meng Zhuzhou's analysis was very detailed and careful, so she couldn't help but listen.
"The guards of the Nine Sides, there are not many capable generals, it is not easy to control these Northern Barbarians, not to mention the wealth and fame and fortune are moving, and the former Liaodong General Liang Kexing is not a person who can keep his heart."
The case of the fall of Liang Kexing, the former commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was handled by the two yamen of Fusi in Dongchang and Beizhen, and now he is being locked up in the edict prison of Jinyiwei.
Now that she heard Meng Zhuzhou mention it, she remembered that she had seen Liang Jiaoxiao in the Imperial Prison
"Liang Xuexing has not lost anything in his life, when he was the chief soldier, the entire finances of Liaodong were controlled by him, salt class, horse prices, taxes... It's almost up to him alone. At this point, Meng Zhuzhou said sarcastically: "The tax envoy and eunuch sent by the imperial court will bow his head half a year when he sees him." ”
is so arrogant, such a person Emperor Qingwen can't tolerate it, and the eunuchs can't tolerate it.
"So at the beginning of the year, the factory and the guards joined forces and dispatched Jinyi guards with high martial arts from all over the country to form secret agents to visit Liaodong." Meng Zhuzhou said meaningfully: "A total of ten people were selected in the Jiangnan region, and there was a father and son among these ten shortages. ”
Jiang Banxia was still in a fog before, but now that Meng Zhuzhou is talking to this, it would be too dull for her not to understand.
"The father and son's surname is Jiang." Meng Zhuzhou stopped when he put the words to his lips, and he stared at Jiang Banxia, trying to see some other emotions on her face.
It's a pity that Jiang Banxia wasn't too surprised, she only said: "So, what do you mean by Zhuzhou Gongzi and me?" ”
Of course, she cares about the real cause of her father's death, but at the moment, the man surnamed Meng obviously wants to use her father's and brother's news to trick her, and if she shows too much concern, she will be seized by the other party.
Negotiating and exchanging information with others is ostensibly an equivalent exchange, but in fact it is not.
Jiang Banxia showed a nonchalant look, which made Meng Zhuzhou begin to doubt his prediction.
It is impossible for a person to be invincible, he thinks that Jiang Banxia's weakness is her family, but now it seems that it is obviously not.
This woman was even harder than he imagined, so Meng Zhuzhou adjusted his strategy, and he said with a smile: "Only ten people are selected in the Jiangnan region, as far as I know, the Jiang family's father and son are average in martial arts, so they should not be selected."
Meng Zhuzhou pushed the words to Jiang Banxia's mouth again like a tai chi.
Jiang Banxia pretended not to understand, she only said: "My father and brother will sacrifice their lives for the country even if they die." ”
She went with Meng Zhuzhou's thoughts in her heart, there are as many brocade guards in the Jiangnan area as her father and brother like a carp crossing the river, and she should not choose her father and brother just from the perspective of martial arts.
Just like Cao Alcohol's, her father's and brother's deaths were not an accident.
"Why should Miss Jiang pretend to be confused." Meng Zhuzhou said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Miss Jiang, I have crossed paths with your father, and I can be regarded as acquaintances, and I have already asked for the girl today, Miss Jiang is smart and knows how to think about it, and other families may not be able to find out about this news." ”
Jiang Banxia laughed, and halfway through her laughter, she suddenly remembered that when Zhang Wengui was interrogated in Hezhou, Zhang Wengui had mentioned a Jianghu organization-Zizhuxuan.
This organization specializes in buying and selling information and collecting money to kill people.
Jiang Banxia squinted and looked at Meng Zhuzhou again, that Jianghu organization is called Zizhuxuan, and this 'Nanfeng Pavilion' is also called Zizhuxuan, combined with Meng Zhuzhou's access to information and information.
She knew it.
"I'm not a smart person." Jiang Banxia opened his mouth and said: "The mind of the prince of Zhuzhou is understood, since the son and the father are old acquaintances, they should know what kind of person the father is, if the father is alive, he must not want us to fall deeper and deeper, otherwise——"
She dragged out her voice: "Otherwise, my father would not have left Kyoto and given up."
Jiang Banxia threw out the only words he heard from Cao Alcohol ambiguously, and these words exploded in front of Meng Zhuzhou's eyes like smoke, making him begin to doubt his speculation.
