Jiang Feng looked at Yang Yiqing, hesitated for a moment, and Song Nan said, "Say, Lord Yang is not an outsider." ”

Jiang Feng hurriedly said: "Follow the orders of the adults!" Last year, the general government sent an order to secretly investigate the entry of the prince of Anhua into Beijing, and he was ...... of humble duties."

Song Nan waved his hand and stopped: "Wait, the king of Anhua County lives in Qingyang, and it is also your duty to investigate the Qianhu of Qingyang Jinyi Wei, and it is not your responsibility." ”

Jiang Feng said: "My lord doesn't know, King Anhua has been in the city for more than a year, and he lives in King Qing's mansion. ”

Song Nan looked at Yang Yiqing suspiciously, Yang Yiqing nodded and said: "This is the truth, King Qingding is only thirteen years old this year, and he seems to have a hidden illness and is weak, and the King of Anhua County, as his uncle, is stationed in King Qing's Mansion to take care of many affairs on behalf of King Qingding; People are close blood, but there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Song Nan nodded slowly, thinking: It's lively now, it turns out that the king of Anhua County is really in Ningxia Town.

"Go on." Song Nan said.

Jiang Feng said: "Because the king of Anhua County lives in this town, this secret investigation naturally fell on us, and of the eighteen Yamen Banner schools killed this time, five of them were in charge of secretly investigating the prince of Anhua, and the rest were all brothers who secretly investigated the attack on Lord Yang; In his heart, he didn't dare to point it out, because he was afraid that the road was unsafe and the news would leak out, so he only reported the sudden killing of eighteen brothers. ”

Yang Yiqing and Song Nan changed color at the same time, Yang Yiqing obviously knew about it for the first time, and glanced at Song Nan, both of them saw a trace of horror in each other's eyes.

"What does Lord Yang think?"

"Lord Song, I'm afraid things are not simple, the old man thinks that this qiē is not accidental."

Song Nan nodded and said: "I feel the same way, I'm afraid that the brothers found out something, and someone didn't allow them to make it public, so they killed them." ”

Song Nan turned his head and asked Jiang Fengdao, "Did these eighteen brothers report the results of the investigation before they died?" ”

Jiang Feng said: "My lord, these eighteen brothers are all secret agents of my yamen, and their identities are unknown to many officials in the yamen, and they are scattered all over the city on weekdays, with different identities and disguises. I usually meet with them once every 10 days to hear their latest developments. I had met with them seven days before their deaths, and all the contents were recorded in the case file and later reported to the adults for inspection. ”

Song Nan nodded, in front of Yang Yiqing, there are some things that can't be said clearly, some of Jin Yiwei's methods are not visible, it is better to consult the case file in private, so he said: "Send the file to me in the evening, I want to check it in person." ”

Jiang Feng clenched his fists and promised.

Song Nan said to Yang Yiqing: "Lord Yang, let's talk about the matter of preparing for the rectification of the side of the field, those things will be dealt with tomorrow, this is the purpose of my here, teach Lord Yang to listen to the anti-increase troubles." ”

Yang Yiqing naturally understood that it was inconvenient to listen more to their internal affairs, but this matter involved himself, especially the killing of more than ten secret agents who investigated his attack, which could be said to be caused by himself, so his heart was extremely uneasy.

"Lord Song, Yang is really sorry, my brother Guiya died because of me, I am really guilty, please arrange a time for Yang to go to the spirits of several dead brothers to worship; In addition, I also have to go to meet their families, and take out money and food from Yang's official income to comfort them, otherwise I will not be at ease. ”

Song Nan nodded and said: "Lord Yang doesn't have to feel guilty, it is my duty to investigate the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, and their death is a martyrdom in the line of duty, not because of you, Lord Yang; It's okay to worship the priesthood, I will arrange it by someone, but there is no need for the bereavement, my yamen has its own generous mercy regulations, and Lord Yang may not know the situation in my Jinyi Guard, if it is an undercover identity, it is basically the identity of no father, no mother, no brother and no brother, otherwise he will not be able to perform his duties. ”

Yang Yiqing frowned and sighed a few times, Song Nan comforted him a few words, which was a little better, and after drinking two sips of hot tea to calm down the feelings, Yang Yiqing said: "The matter of Tuntian just now, the biggest Tuntian household in Ningxia Town is not the general in the army, but the Qingwang Mansion; Qingwangfu led 13,000 acres of land, but now there are only three manors and two horse farms under its name, accounting for 31,000 acres of land, of which more than half of the fields are military households, which is a headache. ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "Even if it is the prince, you can't openly occupy the military tun." ”

Yang Yiqing said: "As far as I know, Qingwangfu has always been in good order. When King Qingjing was in Ningxia Town, he was a well-known virtuous king of the court and the opposition, and was appointed to preside over the military affairs of Ning, Qing, Yan, Sui, and the Four Guards, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and being responsible for the safety of border towns. He also actively promoted the system of military tuns, and of course also built the palace and Zhuangtian, but the number was not large. King Qingjing also built gardens in Ningxia City, built temples extensively, and established schools and education. Throughout his life, he was willing to write poems, select essays, and made remarkable achievements, and was also known as a talented prince. After his death, he left a testament to his descendants to bless Ningxia Town forever, and not to bend the law for bribes and embezzle public property. In fact, the descendants of King Qingkang and King Qinghuai, who later attacked the lord, have always been in good faith and dare not violate the ancestral teachings, even if the Qingwang Mansion gradually no longer has the right to lead the army to govern, there has never been a ruin in the reputation of the palace.

Song Nan was surprised: "You just said that King Qingding is a thirteen-year-old child, and there is a hidden disease, why would a sick child prince occupy nearly 20,000 soldiers?" It's a bit unreasonable. ”

"The strange thing is here, the disease of King Qingding is not an ordinary disease, but was born with some dementia, although he is now thirteen years old, but it is said that he is not good at speaking, I am afraid that he is only five or six years old The wisdom of a child, how can he be interested in Tuntian? Moreover, as far as I know, the royal palace had maintained the standard of royal conferral until September of the previous year, but after September of the previous year, at the end of the year, so many acres of land were suddenly added, and there was obviously a cat in it. ”

Song Nan was even more surprised, after coming to Ningxia Town, Song Nan's brain was about to be dizzy, and all kinds of situations beyond his own judgment emerged one after another, this is okay, the problem is that he has no concept, and he can't make any judgment, which is what makes Song Nan the most uncomfortable.

"Now that Qingwangfu has become a big tiger, if I want to clean up the military tun, I must let the military tun acres of Qingwangfu retreat; Jiang Han and his subordinate officers naturally occupied a lot of acres, but they said that if the fields of the Qing Wangfu were not withdrawn, why should they be allowed to withdraw from the acres? Now it puts me in a dilemma. ”

"Didn't you go to King Qing's Mansion to talk about it?" Song Nan's questioning seemed to blame Yang Yiqing for not daring to break ground on the head of King Qing's mansion.

Yang Yiqing could naturally hear what he meant, but Yang Yiqing was not angry, because he understood what Song Nan meant, he had been here for more than half a year, and the border garrison in a small Ningxia town had made no achievements in cleaning up, so it was no wonder that Song Nan was a little disdainful.

"Lord Song doesn't know, there is even more hidden in this, my trilateral general government has the right to lead the military affairs, but the rectification of the border tun is not my own power; Although the emperor allowed me to reorganize the army, the measurement of acres of land, the increase or decrease of the proportion of land tax, the division of good and bad land, and the allocation of pastures and horse farms were all decided by the emperor's special envoys. ”

Song Nan said: "I see, I don't know who the emperor sent, just urge him to hurry up and measure and verify." ”

Yang Yiqing said: "It is Zhou Dong of Dali Temple who came by the emperor's order, can Lord Song know him?" ”

Song Nan frowned and thought for a while, "Zhou Dong? ”

Hou Dabiao suddenly said: "Why is he?" This kid isn't a thing. ”

Song Nan said: "Do you know him?" ”

Hou Dabiao said: "How could I not know him? I have a lot of dealings with Dali Temple in Beizhen Fusi Prison, my lord, you naturally don't have to deal with him, but I have dealt with him a lot, this kid is Liu Jin's person. ”

"Zhou Dong in Hou Zhenfu's mouth is this person, he did come on the grounds of the emperor's order, but in fact he came on the order of Liu Jin, and his purpose is naturally to insert a lever on the matter of the rectification of the military tun in my trilateral general government, if it were not for this Zhou Dong, I am afraid that the affairs of Ningxia Town would have been resolved. It's a pity that it backfired, and it was really difficult to do something. Yang Yiqing let out a long sigh.

Song Nan was speechless, his heart was shocked, Liu Jin's hands and feet were simply everywhere, in this border town thousands of miles away from the capital, in addition to the chief soldier Jiang Han and Liu Jin had a close relationship, there was also a secret meeting with Liu Jin in Xiangshan, I don't know what the close relationship with Liu Jin was Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua County, and now there is a minister of Dali Temple, Zhou Dong, who is really a group of sages, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Song Nan suddenly felt that his shoulders were heavier than Mount Tai, and his mood sank to the bottom.
