Chapter 263: The Matter of Zhangning

It's just that Fang Xuzhou and Min Cheng are far ahead, so the affairs of the Bo family have never been noticed, and no one knows that the Bo family has actually made such a big situation on Zhangning's side.

……

When Xie Yuan and Lin Gang's people were ordered to go to Zhangning, the news of the defeat of the Bo family had already reached Zhangning.

Fang Xuzhou and Min Cheng got the news early, knowing that what they had done was exposed, and before Xie Yuan and the others could find them, the two of them disappeared directly.

When Xie Yuan led his troops to the government and the garrison, he only had time to capture the two of them, raided the place where they were stationed, and seized a large number of weapons, grain and grass, and left nothing else.

After Xie Yuan asked people to count all the things, he handed the compiled booklet to Lin Gang.

After Lin Gang looked at what was written in the account book, his face showed a look of surprise: "How can it be like this?" ”

He looked through the books, clicked on two of the records, and said:

"In the past few years, Bo Chong has sent millions of silver taels to Zhangning, and the weapons that have been privately deducted from the Hyogo Division and the Ministry of War are by no means more than that. Even if these grains, grasses and things are exchanged for cash, they are far less than one or two sent by Bo Chong. ”

"I've just seen it, there are only a few thousand people here at most, since Bo Chong dares to rebel against the troops, and even dares to take the things of the court to seek personal gain, and empties the treasury behind the emperor's back, how can he just make such a small fuss?"

What can an army of a few thousand people do?

Not to mention helping the second prince to rebel, I'm afraid that if I get out of this Zhangning, I will be directly cut off.

Besides, if there are really only such a few people, how can Bo Chong go to great lengths to get money? If you want to raise a secret guard, or want to train an elite dead soldier, the silver that Bo Chong got for the first time was enough, how could he still use it to take risks again and again, and finally used the food money for Jingnan disaster relief, leaving today's disaster?

Besides, the weapons that were secretly taken away by Bo Chong according to the statistics of the Ministry of War and the Hyogo Division are enough to arm an army of tens of thousands of people, if there are really only such a few people, then where did everything else go?

Although Xie Yuan is a martial artist, it doesn't mean that he is really stupid.

Lin Gang had already said this, how could he not know the meaning of Lin Gang's words: "Lord Lin is saying that there is still a secret in this matter?" ”

Lin Gang nodded, frowned and said:

"Fang Xuzhou and Min Chengyuan ran away, no one knows what the matter of the Bo family is, I just feel that something is wrong with this matter, and the matter of the Bo family's troops is probably not as simple as it seems."

Lin Gang has been in Yushitai for many years, and what he has done is to provoke and hold accountable, although he can't understand the secret, but after seeing this account book just now, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Lin Gang said: "In this way, Master Xie, you first write a copy of Zhangning's affairs and send it back to Beijing to hand it over to the emperor, and explain the situation here to the emperor and Lord Nan first, so as not to make Jingzhong anxious." ”

"I'm going to examine the people I've brought back today, and maybe I'll know something from them."

Xie Yuan nodded when he heard this, and was about to come down when he saw someone suddenly coming in outside.

"See Master Hou, I've seen Lord Lin."

Xie Yuan looked up at the visitor: "What's wrong?" ”

The man said, "Master Hou, someone is looking for you outside." ”

"Looking for me?"

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, he was in a hurry to come to Zhangning on his orders, and even Old Madam Xie didn't have time to explain, so he quickly led Lin Gang over.

Although he knew that his mother was from Zhangning Water Village before, he himself had never lived in Zhangning, and he had no contact with Zhangning people before, and Mrs. Xie rarely mentioned it in front of him.

How could anyone come to him now?

Xie Yuan said, "Who is it?" ”

The person who came replied in a low voice: "It's the squire from Zhangning's side, named Yue Rong, he said that he had an old friendship with Hou Ye and knew that Hou Ye was coming to Zhangning, so he came to see you." ”

When Xie Yuan heard the word "Yue Rong", he remembered what Mrs. Xie once said about the three masters of Shuizhai, and he nodded and said, "You go and invite him in, take people to the front hall first, and I will come later." ”

"Yes, Master Hou."

When the man heard this, he withdrew.

Lin Gang was curious: "Hou Ye Xie also has someone familiar with him in Zhangning?" ”

Xie Yuan shook his head: "It's not that you're familiar with me, this person should be my mother's friend." ”

He explains:

"Lord Lin should know that my mother used to be the person of this Zhangning, when she was not married to my father, she used to settle down in this water village, and in addition to my mother, there are two other heads of the water village, and this Yue Rong is one of them."

"My mother was recruited by the first emperor to go to the capital at that time, but Yue Rong stayed in Zhangning, but he has also entered the good register, and I heard my mother say that he is now sitting in Zhangning and doing serious business."

"I think he must have heard that I came to Zhangning City, so he came to find me for my mother."

Lin Gang was thoughtful when he heard this.

Lin Gang had also heard a little about Mrs. Xie's affairs back then, he was still worried about the affairs of the Bo family, but after knowing who Yue Rong was at this time, Lin Gang suddenly showed surprise.

"That's just right."

Xie Yuan looked up at him: "What's right?" ”

Lin Gang said: "Master Xie forgot, what were we talking about just now?" ”

"The Bo family and the Zhangning Mansion, as well as the garrison here, collude and want to hide from the world, I'm afraid that Fang Xuzhou and Min Chengyuan alone are far from enough, and the forces in this place are probably mixed up some."

"Now that Fang Xuzhou and Min Cheng have fled, and even their families are gone, it is no longer difficult to find out about the affairs of the Bo family, if we just send back such a bit of news, I am afraid that the emperor will not be satisfied."

"I was thinking just now, if I want to find a way to contact the local squires and clans here in Zhangning, to see if I can ask for something from them, now that an old lady's old friend has come to the door, it would be better."

When Mrs. Xie was recruited, the first emperor promised them a lot of things, and also rewarded them with official titles.

Although this Yue Rong has never entered Beijing, just because he is one of the leaders in the water village, he can't mix too badly in Zhangning.

Lin Gang was still thinking that if they went to find those dignitaries in Zhangning City, those people might not be willing to speak.

But since this Yue Rong is an old friend of Old Madam Xie and took the initiative to find Xie Yuan, maybe they can know some things about the Bo family's soldiers from him, and they don't have to go to find someone else.
