Before Zhou Zheng arrived in Luoyang, he already knew Jiao Shengqi's origin.

Jiao Shengqi is a fellow acquaintance of Luoyang Wei, and he is a third-grade product.

The Jiao family is a hereditary thousand households, Jiao's father died early, Jiao Shengqi took office at the age of eighteen, and was transferred to the Yulin Army at the age of twenty-five to serve as a thousand households.

It happened to be hunting in the autumn of one year, the frail and sickly crown prince fell off the horse when he was riding a horse, Jiao Shengqi rescued the car, and soon, Jiao Shengqi was released to the guard, and it has been more than 20 years.

Jiao Shengqi has two sons under his knees, the eldest son Jiao Wei follows him, the second son Jiao Meng is sixteen years old, and Jiao Lao'an, Mrs. Jiao lives in the capital, he also has a niece, both parents died, and she was drafted into the palace a few years ago and was named a beauty.

In the later period of the previous dynasty, military generals were inferior to civil officials, and military attaches had to call themselves "lower officials" even if they saw local officials of the same rank; And now, the Great Qi Dynasty has only been established for more than 30 years, the founding general Yu Wei is still there, above the court, military attaches and civil officials are on an equal footing, and outside the court, the power of military attaches is far better than that of civilian officials.

Jiao Shengqi was able to sit in the third grade, definitely not only by qualifications, he had a father-in-law, that is, Han Jin, who had been the commander of the Henan capital.

And Han Jin is the deputy general of the old protector Yang Feng, the year before last, Han Jin's old illness relapsed, and before his death, Jiao Shengqi was transferred to Luoyang Wei and promoted to Tongzhi.

Judging from this qualification, Jiao Shengqi is a member of the Yang family, otherwise it would be impossible to take the position of Luoyang Wei commander.

Now, Jiao Shengqi's qualifications are also in front of Xiao Ren, and Xiao Ren has read it several times.

Yue Yang said: "Although the third prince is safe, he is still trapped in Luoyang, and martial law has been imposed for ten miles outside Luoyang City, and even I have to escape with great effort." At the moment, the situation outside cannot be transmitted at all. ”

Xiao Ren said: "This plague is really timely. ”

"Mr. Wu said the same thing, but unfortunately he was trapped in the official post and couldn't find out where the plague came from in the first place." When Yue Yang said this, he paused and asked, "Qi Shao, you are in Baoding Mansion, have you ever heard that the king of Yanbei County was kidnapped by bandits?" ”

The kidnapping of the king of Yanbei by the giant bandit Tong Gongzi damaged the majesty of the royal family, and there was no rumor, and not many people knew about it.

It just so happened that Xiao Ren knew.

"Well, I heard about it, and I also heard that Yang Qin didn't let the Yanbei Mansion give money to ransom people." Xiao Renyun said lightly.

"Seven Shao, we have all been to Yanbei, last time the king of Yanbei said that he was going to suppress bandits, I thought he was just looking for an excuse, but I didn't expect him to even get in, it seems that the bandits in Yanbei are really powerful, I thought that the biggest bandit in Yanbei was Yang Qin, the governor of Yang." Yue Yang sighed infinitely.

Xiao Ren didn't bother to pay attention to him, the matter of the king of Yanbei County, would it be Yueyang's turn to worry about it?

He diverted the topic and asked, "Is Jiao Shengqi's niece Jiao Meiren the one from Yuehua Palace?" ”

Mei Shengxue has been by Meng Meiren's side for two or three years, and there is also a Jiao Meiren who is in Yuehua Palace with Meng Meiren.

It's just that whether it is Meng Meiren or Jiao Meiren, they are all unknown in the harem, if it weren't for Mei Shengxue, Xiao Ren wouldn't know about the existence of these two people at all.

Yue Yang spread his hands and said, "Emperor's women, how do I know where they live?" ”

......

Echoing the slaughter of Luoyang, it is the lifeless atmosphere of the capital.

Although it has entered the wax moon and the New Year is approaching, it is a national funeral, and I can't see any joy.

A carriage is parked at the gate of the city, even in the capital, it is difficult to see such a gorgeous carriage, but if you look closely, you can see that the carriage can be seen everywhere axe and knife marks, even the driving horse, is also scarred.

"Sir, we have finally arrived in the capital." The sound of a woman crying with joy came from the carriage, followed by the sobbing of a group of women, and it turned out that there was not only one woman in the carriage.

The standard-bearer guarding the city gate inspected the road guide and waved his hand to let him go.

A gust of incense blew and wafted out of the carriage.

The flag bearer next to him asked curiously: "Which family's son-in-law is this, and he dares to be so popular and flowing during the national mourning?" ”

The previous flag bearer sniffed, and there was still a woman's fragrance on the tip of his nose.

"Yan Bei is just a scholar, not a son."

It turned out to be readers, and these readers are really becoming more and more uninhibited.

The carriage passed through the city gate, walked through the spacious streets of the capital, and finally stopped in front of the Guanqian Tower.

Guanqian Lou is the largest inn in the capital.

It was only then that the man in the carriage finally came out.

It was a middle-aged scholar with clear eyebrows and five graceful women.

The scholar's surname is Ji, and his single name is a only word.

These five women were his five concubines.

Mr. Ji is really blessed, such a beautiful concubine, even if she is in the capital, it is enough to be enviable.

At this time, the standard-bearer Wei who was inspecting the road guide was standing in front of Wu Jiang with his hands down, and he said: "That person's road guide is real, but it is also fake. ”

A month ago, Yang Qin, the governor of northern Yanbei, sent someone to send the latest road guide in Yanbei, the new road guide is different from the old road guide, and the Mr. Ji just now used the old road guide, and the date on this road guide is exactly after the new road is used.

That's why the standard-bearer said that the guide was real, but it was also fake.

Wu Jiang sneered, didn't speak, and turned to leave.

He went to the Protectorate's Mansion.

"According to our Feiyuwei intelligence, one of Yang Jinxuan's Xixi, named Fang Jiwei, absconded from Yanbei a month ago, and Yang Dadu sent someone to chase him down, but this Mr. Fang also had a big life, and he escaped with his life. Not only is he fateful, but he is also bold, and he is in the huge world, but he doesn't go anywhere, but he comes to the capital. ”

Yang Jincheng said with a smile: "This is a smart person, the more dangerous the place, the safest." It's just that I didn't expect that Yang Jinxuan still had such a Xixi. ”

Wu Jiang said disdainfully: "What Xixi, it's just a name." This Mr. Fang had dealings with the Zuo family, who sold weapons, but Yang Qin didn't know the details of the Zuo family, so he fell in love with the Zuo family's big fortune and sent someone to copy the Zuo family. ”

Of course, Yang Jincheng had already learned about it, and now that Wu Jiang mentioned it, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Governor Yang has been in Yanbei for more than ten years, but he doesn't know that under his nose, there is still the number one person of the Zuo family. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity, I just found out." ”

It wasn't until the Zuo family was raided and the Zuo family fled that it attracted the attention of Feiyuwei, and even Wu Jiang was startled after a check.

It's a pity that the Zuo family is gone, and now they don't know which king they are talking business with.

Yang Jincheng looked at Wu Jiang: "Now that Mr. Fang has come to the capital, do you know how to do it?" ”

Wu Jiang Shili: "Grandpa, don't worry, the lower officials will go and invite people over." ”

Although the Zuo family ran away, there was still Mr. Fang.

This Mr. Fang was willing to take the risk to report to the Zuo family, which shows his friendship with the Zuo family.
