Xuanfu Mansion outside the city of the University of Campus.

As an important town in the north, Xuanfu is most famous for the big church in front of you, which is claimed to be forty miles long and ten miles wide. In the early years of the dynasty, it is said that Taizu once inspected the 300,000 military horses that drove away the shoes and returned from the great victory, and although there was no such grand occasion again, the annual grand parade was still a major event for the military and people of Xuanfu.

At present, there are no overwhelming military horses in this big teaching field, and the military horses of the Xuanfu Left Guard God Command Battalion, who were ordered to come, only occupied a slap in the face, and they looked inconspicuous. Yang Jinzhou, who was standing on the high platform, bowed down and practiced the formation below these military horses who used firearms like the Shenji Battalion, but there was no sign of using firearms at all, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. At this time, a voice came from the side.

"I wasn't so stingy when I practiced firearms in the Japanese army, but as soon as Song Ya died, I checked the powder magazine with Dingbei Hou, and found that a quarter of the inventory was missing, and the number of new mirrors that had been replaced before was not right, so now I had to block the news and temporarily stop using live ammunition on the grounds that it was cold and snowing."

On the huge high platform, there were only two people, Liu Tao and Yang Jinzhou, the governor of Xuanda, and even Dingbei Hou Weizhen, the chief military officer of the Xuanfu Guard, was not present. One of them was in his early fifties, his temples were gray, but he was not angry, and the other was sword-eyed, and his face was solemn, and at first glance there was a feeling that he was the same. At this moment, Yang Jinzhou did not answer immediately, but thought about the situation in the past few days when he arrived in Xuanfu.

After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Ask Liu Butang, what is the current situation of the outer shoes?" ”

"At this time, it is already winter, they slaughtered the big weeping cattle and sheep, even so it is at most enough to have food and clothing, and it is not easy to attack the city on a snowy day, so they naturally huddle in a place to avoid the snow and wind." After answering this," Liu Tao couldn't help but look at Yang Jinzhou thoughtfully, "So, Lord Yang has already made a conclusion in the past few days?" ”

"I can't read a conclusive conclusion, but I just think that this kind of murder case is too far-fetched to say that it was committed by a shoe spy detective." Yang Jinzhou saw that Liu Tao's face remained unchanged, so he continued, "So the lower officials don't understand, the joint excerpt played by Dingbei Hou and Liu Butang said that it was done by the Tartars, this is to arouse the soldiers' vigilance and self-examination, but why is Dingbei Hou still insisting in front of the lower officials?" ”

Liu Tao is a newcomer, and he has been the governor of Xuanda for less than a year, and the Dingbei Hou Weizhen, who guards the Xuanfu, is only three months more qualified than him. In contrast, Yang Jinzhou stayed in Xinghe Fort, which was at the forefront of Xuanfu, for several years, and grew up in Xuanfu before, but he was more worthy of being called a local snake than the two of them. Seeing that Liu Tao, who was known as the iron face, was hesitant, he turned his head and looked at the Xuanfu city wall that was faintly visible in the distance.

"Liu Butang" is not a Jinyi guard now, and he came to inquire by order, just because he was familiar with the situation in Xuanfu, so he had no intention of interfering with a lot. If there is something difficult, Liu Butang might as well play the emperor secretly, and it is always better than the emperor repeatedly urging him. After saying this sincerely, Yang Jinzhou arched his hand, "I was about to go down from the cloud ladder on the side, but I suddenly heard Liu Tao's voice from behind. He stood up and turned around, only to see Liu Tao looking at him with a somewhat strange look, and then walked over slowly, and suddenly asked thoughtlessly: "How much is Lord Yang this year?" ”

"Me?" Yang Jinzhou was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "After the wax moon, it should be twenty." ”

"There are today's achievements before the double ten, and sure enough, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword is sharpened." Liu Tao seemed to bow his head meaninglessly and sighed, and soon raised his head again, "Don't hide it from Lord Yang, "When the Marquis of Yangning accompanied His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Xuanfu to handle the case, he once mentioned a marriage with me. At that time, I wanted to find a wife room for my family's stubborn Erlang who could control him, so I was moved by his words, "But in the end, this matter will naturally be over." Until I saw Lord Yang this time, I also had a curious mind""Don't talk about this" I can't answer the things that Lord Yang mentioned just now. ”

Seeing that Yang Jinzhou only raised his eyebrows slightly about what he just mentioned, as if he didn't have too many other feelings, Liu Tao explained briskly: "Dingbei Hou is a person who is more cautious and less enterprising, so he has used the old team since he took office, and the same is true for Song Ya, after all, he has been promoted step by step for many years, and he has not made any mistakes. And this time, he was taken off his head for no reason in the midst of the escort army, and he wanted to suppress the other subordinates in the army, so naturally he could only say that. Moreover, I am afraid that someone will say something alarmist in his ear. As for me, the secret recital was just sent yesterday, and as for the content, I can't say anything to Lord Yang. ”

The dignified governor had already said this, Yang Jinzhou naturally did not ask any more questions, and after bowing deeply again, he quickly descended from the high ladder, and it was only a few breaths before and after. After meeting with the guards who stayed on the ground, he galloped towards Xuanfu without saying a word. Only when the oncoming cold wind drilled his head and face along all the gaps in his clothes, he was finally able to distract himself from his wife in the capital in the bone-chilling cold.

This trip was accompanied by the palace guards, except for the play, it was not appropriate to convey private messages, and he naturally knew the priorities. However, he remembered the emperor's question before leaving.

In that situation in the capital, when he was not there, Chen Lan had to bear a lot of pressure alone, even if she had always understood his intentions, but what if there was anything ......

With all kinds of thoughts, he galloped through the Changping Gatehouse, the south gate of Xuanfu, and stopped in front of a blacksmith shop with a group of entourage. Seeing that they were about to follow, he waved his hand, only signaling Chunhu to come forward and follow, and then said lightly: "Dingbei Hou will hold a banquet in the evening, this blacksmith shop is the most famous in Xuanfu, I will go in and see if there is anything suitable for making gifts." ”

When he said so, the others naturally stayed outside the door. However, most of them could not stand the deafening sound of the tinkling of the blacksmith's shop, and with the fact that there was some commotion among the mounts, they naturally drifted away in unison.

Yang Jinzhou, who entered the blacksmith shop, left Chunhu outside, and entered it by himself, and said hello to an old blacksmith with a big hammer, and shouted twice at the top of his voice, and he slipped out of the back door. After passing through the narrow back street and turning the corner, the sound of striking iron immediately weakened a lot. Walking quickly, he arrived at the door of a small courtyard, and naturally picked up the iron ring and knocked twice, and as soon as the two gates opened, he flashed in with quick movements. When he flashed past the little girl who opened the door, he didn't forget to leave a word.

"Don't panic, I'm here to find Aunt Tian."

The little girl was about to shout, but she was relieved when she heard this. And Yang Jinzhou went straight through the hall and into the room, and when he stepped into the last room, he didn't wait for the woman who was immersed in embroidery to raise his head, he stepped forward, bent down, and called Aunt Tian. The woman was startled at first, but when she saw the visitor, she was immediately surprised and delighted, and dragged the person up with a touch of the embroidery frame.

"Why are you here............ Oops, I heard about that bizarre murder case, and I also heard that the imperial court sent a big official down, but I didn't think it was you! You kid, you just made a great contribution to marrying a daughter-in-law, and now you are running out to do errands again, and it is too hard......"

Yang Jinzhou listened to these rare chatters, a smile appeared on his face, and patiently answered the other party's concerned questions about his mother and wife, and then said his intention. The middle-aged woman hurriedly went to get a pen and paper, and seeing that Yang Jinzhou simply wrote a few words in front of her, took out her private seal and stamped it, and then gave the envelope, she couldn't help but hesitate.

"If you don't want people to know, you don't have to sign it, right? In case someone else gets it, with this private seal, everyone knows it's you. ”

"There is this trace, if it is really intercepted, people with a heart can recognize it, and one more private seal is not tight, and it is just a letter of peace." Yang Jinzhou shook his head, and then said, "Anyway, I ask Aunt Tian to send it to Jingshi to my mother and wife, I thank you here." ”

The middle-aged woman couldn't resist it, but after all, she agreed, and personally sent the person out of the door, but it was a thousand instructions, and when she saw the person go, she told the little girl she hired, and then went back to the room to change her clothes, and went out with the letter. An hour later, in the largest part-time messenger carriage and horse shop in Xuanfu, several fast horses that were carrying letters to Beijing set off, and the messengers were all carrying a big burden.

In the evening, Luo Xu, who rarely took a break, didn't bring a single entourage, and went straight to the teacher Han Mingyi's house. Although one student is the prince of the dignified Shengguo and has now officially become an official, and the other student is the grandson of the Changfang of the Yangning Marquis Mansion, Han Mingyi has no intention of resurrection, and is still teaching the only student at the moment, while immersing himself in his own poetry, calligraphy and painting. Only this time, after the teacher and student had eaten, they locked up in the study* to discuss things, and it took nearly an hour for Luo Xu to come out of it, and when he left, he hurriedly apologized to his wife for his behavior.

At the court meeting the next day, a letter from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the imperial history broke the rare peace in the court for several days, and he ordered the edict of Runing Bo Yang Si on the grounds that his words and deeds were not careful, please choose another Shu to marry as a concubine for King Huai!

When this news and the emperor's noncommittal attitude reached the ears of King Huai, King Huai, who was playing with a palace maid in the east side hall in the front yard of Yongning Palace, couldn't help but show a smile that his plan had succeeded after his initial surprise. However, an hour later, when he received the message from another little eunuch, he was immediately furious, and in a fit of rage, he overturned the desk.

Someone pretended to be in his name to support the imperial history book!
