Chapter 54: The two of them are full of dissatisfaction

Xiao Qibai looked away and thought, "What does Master have to do with this matter?" ”

Fang You pulled Xiao Qibai to a remote place, and after confirming that there was no one around, he whispered to him everything in his ear.

Xiao Qibai didn't look as shocked as Fang You imagined after hearing this, but his face was full of anxiety, "So the three cases before were also done by the master?" ”

Fang You nodded.

"Then Aunt Xue......" Xiao Qibai asked.

"Maybe Meng Chang did it with someone from the Yuqiu faction, and I asked Master about it, and he said he would help investigate and investigate."

"Meng Chang? Oh, by the way, Mrs. Meng of Zifu is his own sister, no wonder I heard that some people say that Mrs. Meng often sends money from Zifu to Meng's house. ”

While Fang You's heart was clear, he felt a little funny when he saw Xiao Qibai gossiping, "When did Senior Brother start to care about these parents?" ”

Xiao Qibai poked her forehead, "I just heard about it." ”

"But this just shows that this Meng Chang needs money." Fang You rubbed his head and said.

"Well," Xiao Qibai nodded, and then whispered, "Of course, it takes a lot of silver taels to raise soldiers." ”

"Senior brother!" Fang You seemed to have thought for a long time and suddenly made a decision, and said to Xiao Qibai, "I still want to go to Master to understand the situation and see if I can help him." ”

I saw Xiao Qibai lower his head, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm afraid you came to me just to let me go with you." ”

Fang You seemed to be told what was on his mind, and he smiled embarrassedly.

I only heard Xiao Qibai say again, "Since Master asked us not to get involved in this matter, then there must be his reasons, and it stands to reason that it is best for us not to disturb him." If someone finds out that even we are involved, wouldn't that be a disappointing of Master's kindness for us? ”

"But ......"

"I know what you want," Xiao Qibai also hesitated, "I can't rest assured, hey...... If we do go, what can we do to Master? Don't we ...... too?"

"Senior brother, are you afraid?" Fang You looked at Xiao Qibai's tone with a hint of disappointment and mockery, "Or are you reluctant to take your current position as the governor of the Pure World Academy?" ”

Xiao Qibai immediately lowered his face when he heard her words, "Ah You, it's been so long, how can you still say such things to me?" ”

Only then did Fang You realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered his mouth, then lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Qibai's eyes, "Senior brother...... I...... I'm sorry, I'm just a little anxious about Master's business. ”

Xiao Qibai sighed, didn't blame her, and then said as if he had made up his mind, "Tomorrow I will go with you to persuade Master." ”

After telling Xiao Qibai everything and getting his words, Fang You suddenly felt extremely down-to-earth in his heart.

"My lord," Wei Qinghuan's subordinates said to Wei Qinghuan as they stood respectfully outside the room, "and things have come to an eyebrow. ”

Hearing this, Wei Qinghuan put down the book in his hand, walked quickly to his subordinates, and asked, "What did you find?" ”

I saw that the man suddenly looked panicked on his face, and then whispered something in Wei Qinghuan's ear, Wei Qinghuan frowned tightly when he heard it, "Where did you find it?" ”

"It seems to be called Zhong's mountain...... "the man bowed his head and tried to recall, "there are few people there, and the one or two people who pass by are not locals, and they don't know the name of the mountain." When I came back that day, I saw a stone monument at the foot of the mountain that had fallen to the ground and was mostly covered by weeds. There were three characters engraved on it, and the middle one was no longer legible, only the first and second characters were vaguely recognizable as 'bell' and 'mountain'. ”

Bell...... Mountain...... Wei Qinghuan felt that he seemed to have heard these two words somewhere, he squinted his eyes, and recalled vigorously, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath, and asked his subordinates, "Is it called Zhong Fanshan?" ”

The man still had his head down, squinting his eyes and thinking about it, "Seems to be the name......

Wei Qinghuan saw that he really couldn't think of anything, so he didn't embarrass him anymore, and waved his hand to let him retreat. If it is really Zhong Fanshan, then it will be easy to do, at least there is an acquaintance in it, thinking about it, Wei Qinghuan hooked the corners of his mouth.

Wei Qinghuan and Zixiang waited for Chang Tan outside the hall after going down, and after a while, they saw Chang Tan come out.

"Your Highness, there is something important." Wei Qinghuan's tone was unusually a little flustered.

"What?" Chang Yan also hurriedly asked, Wei Qinghuan can say that it is an important matter, then this matter must not be delayed, "Can it be related to the case of illegal salt trafficking in Huaiyan Province?" ”

Wei Qinghuan looked at Chang Yan and nodded with a heavy gaze, "It's inconvenient to discuss here, let's talk about it in another place." ”

The three of them hurried to Zixiangzhi's study.

"I definitely didn't have a simple thing that day, so I deliberately let Ji Xiu go and let people follow him secretly," Wei Qinghuan said, and then leaned forward as usual, "Who knew that there was a problem!" ”

Chang Yan's eyes were fixed on the ground, but he was not looking at the ground, he listened carefully to what Wei Qinghuan said, and pondered. I only heard Wei Qinghuan continue, "That Ji Xiu actually plotted to rebel!" ”

Chang Yan retracted his gaze at this time, and he asked with some suspicion as if he had to believe it, "But really?" ”

Wei Qinghuan told Chang Tan about what his subordinates had seen Ji Xiubing, and decided that Meng Chang was also looking for his distant cousin to sell illicit salt in order to cultivate soldiers with Ji.

"Do you know where these people are now?" Chang Yan asked.

"Your Highness wants to wipe them out?" Zi Xiangzhi looked the calmest of the three, and I saw him stroked his beard and spoke.

Chang Yan nodded, "I wonder if Lord Shangshu has any other good ideas?" ”

Zi Xiangzhi smiled slightly, "It's not a good idea, it's just a little foolish." After finishing his own way, he continued, "First, we don't know how many soldiers and horses they have now, and second, if we wipe them all out now, we will definitely go to Your Majesty and ask for troops, so that the credit for recovering the traitors will probably not be yours, Your Highness." ”

"The teacher is saying that if you tell the saint about this, then it is equivalent to telling Zhang Qingyuan?" Wei Qinghuan said, "Teacher, are you afraid that Zhang Qingyuan will take this matter on him?" ”

"Nope." Zi Xiangzhi denied Wei Qinghuan's conjecture, "Now that Wei Qinghuan is wooing the prince and preparing to support the prince to ascend to the throne, at such a critical moment, it is most cost-effective for him to attribute this credit to the prince." ”

Chang Yan listened and nodded, "Lord Shangshu is really far-sighted. So what should we do now? ”

"Let's go find Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War first." Purple Xiangzhi said, "Then, wait." ”

"Wait?" Chang Tan was thoughtful, and then couldn't help admiring Zi Xiangzhi's old spiciness, and said, "Lord Shangshu is saying that we will go to the military department to inform us first, and then wait until the traitors rebel to rebel before sending troops to suppress it?" But I don't know if Lord Li's side will send troops at will without the will of the Holy Lord for this matter......"

"Don't worry, this is a good opportunity for meritorious service, and Master Li will not give up in vain." Zi Xiangzhi said, "When the time comes, I will go to him personally to explain." Chang Yan looked at Zi Xiangzhi with a smile of approval.

Wei Qinghuan always felt that the handling of this matter by Master and Chang Yan made him feel very awkward, even if he wanted the Seventh Prince to make meritorious contributions in front of the emperor, he couldn't take such a big risk. What's more, in this way, if there is a war in the capital, there will be more dead and wounded, and it may even affect the people. Thinking like this, he didn't even hear Zi Xiangzhi's voice calling him, but Chang Yan patted him on the shoulder before he came back to his senses, "Yes, what does the teacher command?" ”

"Tomorrow you can find some reliable people to go to the mountain again, and find out how many of them there are." Zi Xiangzhi said to Wei Qinghuan.

Wei Qinghuan hadn't completely detached himself from what he was thinking about just now, so he nodded solemnly. Even if he knew that Li Tang was on that mountain, he couldn't get excited at all at the moment.

Chang Tan saw that something was wrong with him, so he hurriedly walked up to him like a friend and asked, "Lord Wei, do you have anything else on your mind?" ”

Wei Qinghuan shook his head, "Thanks to His Highness's concern, there is nothing else." After saying that, he took his leave, still thinking about it stupidly on the road, whether his decision was right or wrong? If the Seventh Prince really sat on the throne with their help at that time, would he still be the same as now, only caring about his own gains and losses and ignoring the people?

Fang You was lowering his head and thinking about how to persuade Master Xiao Qibai tomorrow, not wanting to collide with the oncoming Wei Qinghuan.

"Oops! I'm sorry......" The two rubbed their foreheads and chin and hurriedly apologized to each other. Then he became even more flustered when he saw the person in front of him.

"That ......" Fang You's hand dropped from his forehead was at a loss, and then he saluted Wei lightly as if he had reacted, and said, "I've seen my lord." ”

Wei Qinghuan also hurriedly reached out to pick her up, and then the two seemed to feel very restrained about this contact and hurriedly dodged away. The two of them didn't leave, and it looked very embarrassing to stand here staring at each other.

In the end, it was Wei Qinghuan who opened his mouth first, "Ayu...... Where is Mr. Fang in a hurry? ”

"That...... Ready to go home. Fang You replied, and as he spoke, he wanted to say goodbye to Wei Qinghuan.

"Oh, go home......" Wei Qinghuan stared from side to side with his eyes rolling around, relieving the uncomfortable atmosphere. Seeing that Fang You wanted to leave, he blurted out, "Do you know about that?" ”

Fang You turned around, not knowing what he was talking about, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Ji Xiu and Meng Chang......" Wei Qinghuan didn't know why he suddenly asked Fang You about this, maybe it was Fang Cai Chang Yan and Zi Xiangzhi's plan that made him feel very dissatisfied, so the other party opened his mouth.

When Wei Qinghuan said these two names, Fang You knew what he wanted to say, thinking that since he already knew about it, it would be too much for him to hide from him, so he nodded, "I know." ”

"What about you...... How is it intended? He had long wanted to know what Fang Yu was thinking, and after what had happened to Fang Cai, he wanted to know even more now.
