Chapter 236 Unexpected Promotion......

In the Hangzhou Thorn Mansion, Jiang Zhixuan walked back and forth anxiously in the backyard. He just got the news. Feng Qinglian sent out to pick up his beloved wife, and found his wife and children more than 300 miles away from the capital of Hangzhou. They were assassinated by the Assassins, but fortunately they were safe and sound. At present, under the escort of 500 government soldiers, the beloved wife is returning to Hangzhou City quickly. According to the itinerary, by tonight at the latest, the beloved wife should be home......

Because of this, Jiang Zhixuan never went to the government office on an errand today. The situation in Hangzhou City is already under his control step by step. A group of corrupt officials led by Ouyang Ziming and Chen Cang have been elevated by Jiang Zhixuan step by step in various names. At this time, although Hangzhou City is not a monolith, Jiang Zhixuan can indeed be like a finger and control freely!

The maids and servants in the Assassin's Mansion were all very busy, boiling water, preparing clean clothes, preparing food and snacks, and making beds and quilts...... Everyone is busy around Madame'> the return of the mistress. As for Jiang Zhixuan himself, he was waiting restlessly in the flower hall. Every other cup of tea. He would run to the gate of the Assassin's Mansion to take a look, and every time he couldn't see his beloved wife's car, Jiang Zhixuan would nag: "Why haven't you arrived yet......?"

When he learned that his beloved wife was really besieged by hundreds of assassins, Jiang Zhixuan was almost about to collapse, and the previous reproach for his beloved wife had long been thrown out of the clouds. In my heart, I constantly prayed to all the gods and goddesses, bless my wife and children to arrive home safely......

The sky gradually darkened, and the restaurants and restaurants around the Assassin's Mansion hung red lanterns one after another. In the kitchen and flower hall of the Thorn Mansion, the enticing aroma of food gradually wafted out. Finally, outside the Thorn Mansion, there were bursts of neat footsteps, mixed with the sound of carriage wheels crashing on the ground. Jiang Zhixuan's ears were sharp, and after hearing it, he immediately ran outside. Behind him, Hangzhou Sima Feng Qinglian and his wife Feng also followed closely, and they also got the news and deliberately ran to the Thorn Mansion to wait......

The five hundred soldiers were full of dust, and after receiving Mrs. Thorn Shi's "> and her party, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, they set off overnight. In the past 300 miles, they have been on the road nervously instead of changing horses. So much so that after entering the city of Hangzhou, at least one-third of the soldiers were planted directly from the horses, and as soon as they lay on the ground, they never wanted to get up again, which was too tiring......

Hearing that the master mother was back, the maids and servants in the Assassin Mansion also poured out at the same time, and they rushed over to help the master mother. Holding the young master and the son>, he quickly walked towards the mansion, so that Jiang Zhixuan, the master, had no room to interfere. However, seeing that his wife and children were safe and sound, without the slightest sign of being harmed, Jiang Zhixuan was relieved. turned to care about Qin Shuang and the others in the back.

Qin Shuang and the others didn't have the same treatment as Xiaoxiao, one by one the guards dragged their tired and injured bodies, and slowly walked towards the barracks of the other courtyard behind the Assassin's Mansion, looking quite miserable. Jiang Zhixuan probably counted, when he went out, there were eighty-one people, including Qin Shuang, but when he came back, there were only sixty-two people, and half of them were injured. The other nineteen people presumably sacrificed their lives to protect their wives and children at the time of the assassination......

"Brother Qin, let your brothers wash up first, junior brother will go to ask for a doctor, all things, Brother Qin doesn't need to worry about it for the time being, at present, you and your brothers, the most important thing is to take care of your injuries. As for the brothers who were killed, in addition to the bereavement of His Majesty and the imperial court. My Jiang family will also express their ...... "After a few years of official career, Jiang Zhixuan has slowly begun to be reborn, and he has become more and more sophisticated!"

Qin Shuang nodded, grinning and revealing an extremely ugly smile: "My good brother, needless to say, these things need to be said, foolish brother believes that you will handle them." It is imperative to inform His Majesty of the situation here as soon as possible. Brother Yu can be sure that the person who besieges his younger brother and sister and Brother Yu must be the regular elite army of the imperial court, and it is even very likely that it is the personal guards of Jiangnan or Huainan Province......"

Jiang Zhixuan's heart jumped, and he looked left and right, but fortunately, there was no one near him, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Big brother, you go to bathe and change clothes first, and we'll talk about it in detail later!" ”

Qin Shuang nodded, and followed in, he was indeed too tired, and he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, although it was not fatal, but it was also so painful that he couldn't stand it. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder, so it hasn't suppurated, otherwise I'm afraid it would be more bearable......

The 500 soldiers of the Hangzhou government who went to meet them did not participate in any battles, but they did not lose anything. However, this trip back and forth is also extremely hard. Jiang Zhixuan and Feng Qinglian came forward together to appease them with kind words for a while, and then made a promise that they would praise them. So they went back to the camp, but that Captain Sun and a few other colonels. was left by Jiang Zhixuan, and said that he wanted to toast a few glasses of wine and express his gratitude!

When all the dusty people have cleaned up their bodies, the reception banquet in the flower hall has been full. After Jiang Zhixuan settled Captain Sun and his subordinates, he ran to the bedroom and waited for his beloved wife to come out of the bath. Xiaoxiao didn't feel tired, and he took a carriage all the way back. After bathing, like a hibiscus out of the water, with the fragrance of pancreas, she changed into a moon-white middle single, covered with a light red jacket, and came to the flower hall with Jiang Zhixuan.

Qin Shuang, Feng Qinglian's family, Captain Sun and his subordinates, of course, as well as a few little guys such as Hutou, Yaya and Dandan, were already sitting on the table under the service of the maid, waiting for Lord Shi and Mrs. Thorn Shi to ">." It's time for a feast.

The fears of the recent days have finally become a thing of the past. Jiang Zhixuan was in a good mood, and he raised his glass again and again to persuade him to drink. Xiaoxiao is the same, finally ending the life of almost upheaval for two months and returning to a warm home, this feeling. You can't experience it unless you experience it yourself......

After the banquet, Feng Qinglian's family and Captain Sun said goodbye one after another. Xiaoxiao asked the maid to take the three little guys to rest first, and she herself returned to the main hall with her husband and Qin Shuang, summarized the harvest of this patrol, and discussed how to deal with it!

It has been more than two months since I arrived in Hangzhou, although the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case has not officially begun. However, judging from the information available so far, this is enough to be called a shocking case. First of all, it is certain that the entire Gangnam Province and Huainan Province. At least nearly half of the officials were involved; Secondly, in the past five years, the two embezzled silver and money in Jianghuai are conservatively estimated to be more than 10 million; Third, although the number of private soldiers in the Jianghuai two provinces is not clear, but from the calculation of these corrupt money, I am afraid that the number of private soldiers is no less than 50,000; Fourth, behind the Jianghuai and Huai Protectorates, I am afraid that there is the shadow of the prince in Beijing. As for which prince it is, it remains to be verified.

However, there are now only three princes in the Jingshi, one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, the other is His Royal Highness the King of Wei Li Tai, and the other is Li Zhi, the King of Jin. And Li Zhi is only eleven or twelve years old, and obviously does not have such ability. Therefore, the most suspicious ones are the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai......

Coming to such a conclusion, the faces of the three of them were a little solemn. Yes, His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to the Suzhou-Hangzhou Salt and Iron Case, but if the two princes are really involved, then the investigation and handling of this case must be very cautious. We must be very careful when it comes to the heat. To put it bluntly, the two princes must not be involved......

On the other hand, another major task of Xiaoxiao's trip, to visit the public sentiments and public opinion in Jianghuai and Huai, can also be handed over to His Majesty Li Er. Although this answer sheet is not so ...... Makes people like......

Since the seventh year of Zhenguan, various taxes in the two provinces of Jianghuai have increased year by year, causing the people to complain. If it weren't for the relatively developed economy in the coastal zone, the common people could barely fill their stomachs, and I am afraid that some people would have already risen up. Although it has not yet reached this level, the people here are generally resentful and dissatisfied with the imperial court and the government......

Looking at the two thick memoraries in front of them, the three of them looked at each other, and it was not difficult to imagine that when His Majesty Li Er received these two memorandas, with the fiery temper of this true dragon emperor. What will it look like? But none of the three of them planned to change the content of the recital to whitewash the peace, so they had to pray in their hearts that the eldest grandson, the queen mother, could continue to appease the mighty dragon......

"Brother Jiang, this case is led by you and your younger siblings, you husband and wife think about it again, foolish brother go and see those injured brothers......" After being silent for a while, Qin Shuang found a reason to retreat, leaving room for the couple to be alone.

At this time, the husband and wife, who had been separated for two months, were finally able to live quietly alone. Jiang Zhixuan stared at his beloved wife's face, which had been reduced a lot, and a thousand words finally turned into that sentence:

"Madame" >, you ...... Great work......! ”

Xiaoxiao is a little cramped, the wrong decision he made in Xuanzhou in the end, doesn't the husband mind at all? Smile lightly at the moment:

"Where did the husband come from, I caused trouble for the husband this time, and the concubine has been uneasy in her body and mind, husband...... Isn't it to blame the concubine? ”

Jiang Zhixuan had a tolerant and doting smile on his face: "Don't hide it from Mrs.", > said that at the beginning, the husband did have a lot of complaints about Mrs.'s "> decision. But then, when I thought of the danger to Madame's "> might face, that little resentment vanished. As long as the wife "> to return safely with the children, she will be content with her husband......

Xiao Xin was a little moved, put away the two pieces on the table and hugged them in his arms, stood up and said, "Husband, it's late at night, let's go back to the room and talk about it......"

Jiang Zhixuan nodded again and again when he heard this, stood up and hugged his beloved wife's waist: "Madam" > said that the weather is cold, let's lie on the couch and talk slowly......"

Xiaoxiao's face was slightly red, and she knew what her husband thought, so she tacitly went to the bedroom first......

……

Chang'an City, Prince East Palace.

Since Jiang Zhixuan was appointed as the assassin of Hangzhou, the crown prince Li Chengqian has been uneasy. He faintly heard his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji say that his father had begun to pay attention to the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case. This made him very nervous, because no one knew better than him what was going on in the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case.

Jiangnan Province and Huainan Province, these two rich places, were won for him by his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji, and they were the capital for him to compete with Li Tai, the king of Wei, for the world in the future. Over the years, the protectors of the two provinces of Jianghuai have sent money to the East Palace through secret channels every year. There are hundreds of thousands of guan every year, and if it weren't for the support of these two places, he would probably lose to King Wei who had the rolling wealth of Zuiyue Tower a few years ago. Not only that, Shi Chen Wenyuan, the governor of Jiangnan Province, and Li Zemin, the deputy governor of Huainan Province, also trained more than 20,000 private soldiers for him in their jurisdictions, in case of a Jedi counterattack as a last resort......

But these things, whether it is to send him money or to train private soldiers for him, require a great deal of wealth. Where does all this money come from? Li Chengqian knew very well in his heart that he naturally came from the abundant salt and iron profits in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Five years ago, when he was only sixteen years old, under the operation of his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji, he arranged Ouyang Zihui, the then head of the East Palace, to the position of Hangzhou Assassin Shi, so as to better collect wealth for himself. Ouyang Zihui really lived up to his expectations, and together with Chen Wenyuan and Li Zemin, he operated the entire Jianghuai two roads so that the needle could not be inserted and the water could not be spilled.

But now, I don't know what the reason is, my father actually promoted Jiang Zhixuan, who was the companion of the East Palace, to the history of Hangzhou Thorn. This made Li Chengqian very annoyed, and regretted that he didn't catch Jiang Zhixuan properly when he was still a scholar. He knew that it was too late to try to win over this person at this time. In order not to expose those shady deeds, Li Chengqian weighed it again and again, and finally decided to let Chen Wenyuan and Li Zemin design it, either to remove him from the position of Hangzhou Assassin History, or simply not to do anything, so that he would never be able to return to Beijing......

So, there was a little assassination. However, yesterday Li Chengqian just received the news that Ouyang Zihui, who is now the governor of Huainan Province, sent out two teams of elite private soldiers to assassinate Xiao Xiaoxiao's slut, and they were all wiped out in Hangzhou Prefecture. Not only that, but four others were captured. This will cost Li Chengqian's life, if this brings out the matter of private soldiers. Even if he himself is not implicated, the tens of thousands of private soldiers who have spent countless money to train, as well as the foundation of the East Palace in the entire Jianghuai and Huai Provinces, I am afraid that they will be uprooted......

Li Chengqian panicked, but Shi Zhuxin, the head of the East Palace, who he once trusted, and Wu Siyuan, the young craftsman, and others have all turned to dust, and he doesn't even have anyone to talk to. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's hatred for Jiang Zhixuan and Xiao Xiao became stronger and stronger, because those two subordinates he once relied on as his right-hand man were also beheaded because of Jiang Zhixuan and Xiao's sluts......

As a last resort, Li Chengqian had no choice but to order someone to dress himself up, go out of the palace in micro-clothes, and run to his uncle to help find a way. At the same time, the two pieces of music issued one after another from the Hangzhou Assassin's Mansion were also handed to the desk of His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

In all fairness, Li Shimin still quite appreciates what Jiang Zhixuan did after he arrived in Hangzhou. is polite and courteous, does not act rashly, and seems to be more sophisticated in handling things. It's just that Li Shimin was very angry about Jiang Zhixuan's fact that he knew that He Minsheng, the tainted witness in the Suzhou-Hangzhou Yantie case, was in danger of his life, but he did not take measures to protect him. This is not just a matter of Jiang Zhixuan's negligence in the fold of self-defense. Instead, there was obviously an opportunity to control the impact of this matter to the minimum, but Jiang Zhixuan missed it in vain......

Imagine, if He Minsheng can be protected, then what can be involved in this case will stop at the Metropolitan Protectorate of Jianghuai and Huai at most. Because in that case, what kind of confession he wants is all in the thoughts of Jiang Zhixuan, who is in charge of the case. But Jiang Zhixuan did not take action for nearly two months after getting the news, resulting in the most critical chess piece dying in Xuanzhou Prison in vain......

Who is Li Shimin? How could such a famous generation of saints in history be so easy to fool? How can you believe the 'negligence' mentioned in Jiang Zhixuan's excerpt? Thinking about it casually, Li Shimin can guess why Jiang Zhixuan didn't rescue He Minsheng in time - just because of his wife Xiao Xiaoxiao! Because Xiao Xiaoxiao has another errand: the two inspectors of Jianghuai!

Jiang Zhixuan is just a Hangzhou assassin, and he wants to bring He Minsheng out of the prison in Xuanzhou Mansion. The only way is to take advantage of his wife's status as a "> chaplain. However, if her identity as a messenger is revealed, then Xiao Xiaoxiao will face great danger to her life when she is doing another errand, that is, when she is searching for the public opinion of Jianghuai and Huai. It was because of this that he was a proud protégé that he allowed the Xuanzhou Mansion to persecute He Minsheng to death......

It is precisely because of this reason that Li Shimin is in a dilemma. Although Jiang Zhixuan's actions are guilty, he is also human nature. Li Shimin also knew that his proud protégé was originally a master who loved his wife like his life. thought that at the beginning, he could not even want fame for his wife. Now, although the emperor is in his body, he is still unwilling to exchange the safety of his beloved wife for his glory and wealth......

The grievances of the people in Jianghuai and Huai are boiling, and the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case involves a lot of money. Under such circumstances, Li Shimin had to reconsider how to deal with the matter. Jiang Zhixuan's matter can be put aside for a while, and after this matter is completed, he will teach this stinky boy who abolishes his public affairs for personal purposes a good lesson. The top priority at the moment is to let him properly complete the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case, and control it within a reasonable range. Thinking like this, Li Shimin finally made up his mind:

"Seal the Zhengyi doctor, Hangzhou Assassin Jiang Zhixuan as the Yinqing Guanglu doctor, give the king the order flag, grant Shang Fang the sword, and order him to thoroughly investigate the case of Suzhou and Hangzhou salt and iron!"

The things that made countless officials in Jianghuai fidget finally turned from darkness to light with this holy decree! For a time, the Jianghuai and Huai roads were greatly shaken, and everyone was in danger......
