Hongshao distributed his cloak and prepared to rest. The events of the day really taught him to be angry. Xiao Honglin was ordered by him to ask Su Ling'er for two people, but he was perfunctory by the hanging jade maid. He is the eldest son of Hongfenglong, and the ministers of the court and the central government want to sell him two points of thin noodles, and now he has just come to Jiangnan, but he has hit a soft nail here in Su Ling'er.

Hong Shaoze had just rested, and he heard a soft knock on the door, and someone outside the door: "Childe." It was Honglin's voice, and he said, "There is an urgent letter." ”

Hongshao lit the lamp and went to open the door. He was born with a hooked nose, and his eyes were very sharp, but he was also a very handsome man.

Hong Linqi said: "Childe, but there is news of Zhao Pu." Honglin has a dark complexion, a steady walk, and a silent landing, showing that he is a practitioner.

"It's worse than Zhao Pu." Hong Shao said in a deep voice: "Qingdi Shangguan Qing appeared in Shuzhong. ”

Honglin hissed and said, "Is this news true or false?" After all, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea, and twenty years ago, the world knew about it. ”

Hong Shao pondered for a long time and said: "I'd rather believe in it than believe in it." After thinking about it, he said: "Yes, you asked Su Ling'er for someone during the day, but you said that the maids of the hanging jade have important affairs, and they can't send people for a while?" ”

Hongshao nodded and said, "Yes." The villain also paid attention to asking, what is the matter, even Zhao Pu can't take care of it, it's just prevarication over there...... "He was only halfway through his words, and he immediately came to his senses, looked at Hong Shaoze, and said in a lost voice: "Isn't this just for this?" ”

Hong Shao said: "The news of the hanging jade maid has always been better than ours. They are afraid that they have all gone to Shuzhong. Honglin echoed himself, and Hongshao frowned and said: "I came for Zhao Pu, I don't want Zhao Pu to lose the news, and a Shangguan Qing appeared out of thin air, it's really tricky!" "At the moment, I just looked at the lights. Honglin stood solemnly with his hands down, not daring to say more. After a long time, Hong Shao sneered: "Su Ling'er, I see what you say." ”

Not to mention Shuzhong, only to say that Zhao Pu was ordered by Yang Ci, the prince of the East Palace, to patrol Jiangnan, and as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, he was divided into two groups with the guards. The guards still went all the way south with great fanfare, and they took their family Zhao Baowei for a private visit.

Zhao Pu is in his early forties, his face is slightly dark, his appearance is not good, his body is still slightly arched, only two thick black eyebrows are always slightly wrinkled, it seems that he has never stretched, and his thin lips are also tightly pursed, as if he is going to be mean to others as soon as he speaks. The guard Zhao Bao has a mediocre appearance, but the ribs between the eyebrows are prominent, and he is an irritable and brave person. He has followed Zhao Pu for many years and is very loyal.

The master and servant stood on the pier of the Baoyang River and had been watching for a long time. The wharf is very lively, the southbound and northbound goods are loaded and unloaded here, the tall ships sail in and out, Goryeo, Persia, Fusang and other people come and go in the meantime, the scenery is prosperous, a peaceful scene.

Zhao Bao has lived in the capital for a long time, and now he has seen the prosperity of Yangzhou, and he can't help but be excited.

"Your Excellency." Zhao Bao opened his mouth, but Zhao Pu glanced at him coldly, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Master, this Yangzhou is so prosperous." ”

Zhao Pu smiled. He just smiled, and it didn't feel very kind. This kind of indifference also made the Sangui party disgusted and jealous. Zhao Bao said again: "The villain only said that Hua Di is a useless and famous man, and he bears the name of 'King of Jiangnan' in vain, and he doesn't want to govern Jiangnan. ”

Zhao Pu said: "Although Hongfenglong is treacherous and insidious, he is very good at employing people. Huadi was used to pacify Jiangnan, and Xu Fengqing was used to defend against the wolf in the northwest, and for many years, it was also safe. Hehe, these two people do have the ability to stabilize the country. ”

Zhao Bao sneered: "I hate only Hua Di and Xu Fengqing, I am relied on by the Son of Heaven in vain, but I am arrogant and arrogant with Hongfenglong." Those frivolous snobbs in the DPRK and China actually praised them for their 'three nobles'! ”

Zhao Pu glanced left and right and said, "It is the East Palace that will secretly send this official to Jiangnan." ”

Zhao Bao sighed suddenly, attracting Zhao Pu's sideways eyes. Zhao Baodao: "Jiangnan is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the lord wants to take the evidence of the crimes of Hongfenglong and Sangui, but I am afraid that it will be difficult." ”

Zhao Pu sneered: "What you see is just the surface. And don't forget, in the bright moon lane in Yangzhou City, there is also a 'Jiangnan King'. Zhao Bao nodded to himself.

Zhao Pu said: "Because of the rebellion twenty years ago, Jiangnan seemed to be prosperous, but in fact it is still unstable. Hua Di pacified Jiangnan with a gentle strategy, and he also had quite a political achievement, but he relied on this king of Jiangnan to solve those troubles that could not be solved on the surface for him, so that he could gain a firm foothold. ”

"What happened to the rebellion twenty years ago?" Zhao Bao smiled bitterly: "The villain is young, and I ask the master for advice." ”

"It's a long story." Zhao Pu said: "You only remember one, the king of Jiangnan, in the name of eliminating traitors, what he did was to kill innocents indiscriminately and eradicate dissidents." How many upright officials and scholars who opposed Hongfenglong disappeared silently because of him. Under the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, it is unbearable! ”

"The villain understands." Zhao Bao thought for a while, lowered his voice and said: "If you take the evidence of the crime of King Jiangnan, you will take the evidence of the crime of Hongfenglong." Zhao Pu nodded, and Zhao Bao said: "How should the villain check him?" ”

Zhao Pu's eyebrows tightened, and he became more and more sad, and said: "This person can't see the light, the most mysterious, and he is extremely sophisticated and cunning, that is, he knows that he has something to do with Hongfenglong, but no one has ever held the handle, and the official has never seen his true face." ”

"Master, don't start with the hanging jade maid." Zhao Bao said: "The king of Jiangnan has no handle, but the jade maid has done all the evil things, and the righteous people in the rivers and lakes hate and fear them, and they can't get rid of them quickly." They are the key to the king of Jiangnan. ”

Zhao Pu groaned: "I have this intention, only you must be cautious." ”

Zhao Bao hurriedly replied, and said: "The villain only got the news, and Hong Shao is also here." ”

"A trip to the south of the Yangtze River actually worked for the son of Hongchang." Zhao Pu smiled lightly and said, "It seems that this official has come to Jiangnan at the right time!" ”

Zhao Puwu had a headache about how to deal with the "King of Jiangnan", only how did he know that the legendary evil ghost who killed people without blinking an eye was actually Su Ling'er, a descendant of the Su family in the old four clans.

Su Ling'er didn't take Zhao Puqin's dispatch to Jiangnan to heart. What she is thinking about now is how to deal with Hong Shaoze. Because of the dispatch of the hanging jade maid, he felt neglected, and he was looking for her everywhere.
