"I heard from the county lord of Peony just now that someone reported to her and informed her of a lot of things about King Ning. Dare to ask Mr. Han, is this messenger arranged by Your Excellency? ”

With Zhong Huan's question, Shen Shen first opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Han wide.

She knew that this person was extraordinary, but she didn't expect that Zhong Huan would suspect that he could even do such a thing!

King Ning's private affairs must only be known by his confidants.

And King Yining has been secretly communicating with Han Zhen under the nose of Emperor Yongxi for many years, which shows that he is cautious.

If Xiao Han can turn King Ning's henchmen into his eyeliner in this situation, how strong the news channel and "persuasion" ability he must have!

But Xiao Han smiled slightly and shook his head: "No." I know who it is, though. ”

"Who?"

"Sima Huaiyang. The Qingke staff who had followed King Ning for nearly twenty years. Xiao Han didn't sell it, and gave the answer directly: "Because King Ning is suspicious, he actually hides this person from him in many things, so I didn't take him very seriously at first."

"It's still the last time, the lord of Peony County found out about King Ning and Han Zhen, and after returning from the palace. King Ning was furious and thoroughly investigated the leakers in the palace. It's still this Sima Huaiyang, who found out about a little guy.

And this little guy just found out that he had followed King Ning's car, so he immediately committed suicide and died. Someone also confessed that he had seen the personal maid beside the lord of Peony County who had spoken secretly to this little girl.

King Ning immediately wanted to imprison the lord of Peony, and even said directly, to choose a son-in-law for his daughter, it is enough to have a good character. And this matter was actually persuaded by Sima Huaiyang. not only persuaded him, but also took advantage of the situation to help the lord of Peony. ”

Xiao Han took the tea, took a sip, looked up and saw that the two brothers and sisters in front of him were eager to know what was going on, so he couldn't help laughing, put down the teacup, and continued,

He suggested to King Ning that there were too few Austrian aids in the capital, and the local officials who had been close to each other over the years might as well pick and choose. If any family can have a young man worthy of cultivation, they can really marry the county lord and then transfer that family back to Beijing. has become a family of children, and is still afraid that the other party will not do their best? ”

Shen Shen slapped the table angrily: "Is this still a favor for my sister?" Isn't this pleading King Ning to sell his daughter? ”

"If he doesn't pry up, King Ning won't sell his daughter? I'm afraid that not only will it be sold, but it will also be sold indiscriminately and cheaply. Think about Bai Yongbin, you still don't understand? ”

Zhong Huan sneered, and thought again, "If you really follow his intentions, pick a family that has both family power and will not attract the emperor's taboo, it can be regarded as a good destination for the Peony County Lord." ”

said, and said with a smile: "Of course, objectively speaking, there is another wonderful result of his suggestion - that is, it delays time." ”

Xiao Han nodded with a smile: "This person obviously doesn't know about Zhu Man and the Peony County Lord, but he has good intentions towards the Peony County Lord. Because of this, I became interested in this person, so I checked him carefully. ”

"The result?" Shen Shen's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously leaned over to him.

Xiao Han looked at her gently, a trace of attachment flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "This person is a real Tiansha Lone Star, and all the clans have been wiped out, leaving only him alone." However, the annihilation of his clan was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. ”

Zhong Huan squinted at him, quietly took a dried apricot from the plate at hand, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

When Shen Shen heard this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at it, and immediately sat back, held the plate in his hand, and ate it with relish.

Xiao Han glanced at Zhong Huan deeply, and his mouth kept saying:

"Sima Huaiyang's ancestral home is Shangzhou, he has been in business for generations, and he has also produced several scholars. Many years ago, Han Zhen was good at provoking the border and fighting with the Western Qi Dynasty, turning that area into ruins.

"The Sima clan was not prosperous, and in that battle, the old house was looted by the soldiers of the Western Qi Dynasty, and there was no piece of tiles. Up and down the He clan, there are only two people left, Sima Huaiyang and his mother.

"However, his mother has been pampered all her life, so why has she suffered anything? But in order to raise Sima Huaiyang, he had to rely on washing and sewing for other people's pulp to barely make his mother and son make ends meet.

Later, Shangzhou gradually recovered. Someone made a fake deed to forcibly seize the Sima family's real estate. Sima Huaiyang's mother argued with reason, but was driven out by the government. was so sad and angry that he crashed to death at the door of the mansion!

"It just so happened that at that time, King Ning was playing in Weifu and passing by Shangzhou. Seeing this scene, naturally we can't ignore it. Later, he disposed of the relevant people and others, and returned Sima's real estate to Sima Huaiyang. That year, Sima Huaiyang was just fourteen years old.

He sold his family property and devoted himself to studying, as long as he was an official. However, in the year when Sima Huaiyang entered Beijing to take the exam, it happened that the long history of King Ning's Mansion was found out to be using the name of King Ning to do mischief outside, and King Ning was implicated.

Sima Huaiyang was unhappy for King Ning in his heart. In order to repay his kindness, he categorically gave up his career and entered King Ning's mansion. ”

Xiao Han finished talking about Sima Huaiyang's life in one breath, took another sip of tea, and sighed again: "So in the past, although it is quite extreme, but in the end, this is a loyal and righteous person who knows how to repay his kindness."

"Such a person, King Ning is using him, but he is afraid and does not dare to hand over all the private affairs to him. After all, he must have a ruler in his heart. ”

Zhong Huan thought thoughtfully: "You mean, the person who moved him to help the Lord of Peony County, and even turned his back on King Ning, should have evidence in his hand that can reveal King Ning's true face." ”

"Exactly." Xiao Han nodded and said solemnly, "Moreover, it must be evidence that King Ning is actually committing great evil." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Shen, paused, and said vaguely: "As far as I know, it's just that King Ning has thoughts about the throne of the Taiji Palace. The other bad deeds are at most just befriending party henchmen, exploiting businessmen, and making more money. ”

"What kind of person can get the evidence of King Ning's great treachery?" Shen Shen put down the apricot-dried plate and looked at the two people curiously: "It can't be Han Zhen, right?" ”

Xiao Han and Zhong Huan both shook their bodies and glanced at each other.

Shen Shen sighed, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Won't it?!" Do you really think it's possible Han Zhen? How could he reveal this kind of news to Sister Xi? Sister Xi is close to me and Brother Lianwang, and when she gets this kind of news, she will definitely come to discuss with us! ”

The two men groaned.

"The second fool has a point. Even if it's a temptation, I'm afraid Han Zhen doesn't want us to get this news. Zhong Xuan frowned and clasped the table in thought.

Xiao Han was silent for a long time before raising his head: "Let's take a closer look and then draw conclusions." ”
