Chapter 1262
Since Guo Pu came to Beijing, Zhao Shen has gone further and further on the road of theology, and he didn't know that Zhao Hanzhang was arranging his future, so after sneezing twice, he muttered: "Could it be that someone is scolding me?" ”
He casually touched a handful of dry branches from the side, cut it into several long and short branches, and then lined them up with words, and after a while, he couldn't help but sigh and asked, "I remember that it was Xun Fan who was here for disaster relief, right?" ”
"Yes, this piece is in charge of Mrs. Xun."
Zhao Shen frowned, "This hexagram is not very good, how can it show that the great general's capable person is in trouble?" Na Xun Fan is the uncle of the little emperor, but he is not the right hand man of the great general. ”
A pro-soldier said: "Could it be that you are referring to the squire?" ”
"Bah, bah, bah," Zhao Shen's elder Da'an rushed in front of Zhao Shen and said: "Fortune telling can't be counted on yourself, our Langjun is safe and happy, what can be difficult?" ”
Zhao Shen also doubted himself, but when he heard Da'an's words, he felt that it made sense, "Yes, it shouldn't be me, otherwise I will feel it even stronger." ”
"Squire, General Yuan is also here."
Zhao Shen shook his head, "Why did he come here?" Isn't the disaster situation almost flat now, the relief grain has arrived in various places, and there are many grain merchants to stabilize the price of grain, at this time, there will be no one looking for death to raise the price of grain, right? ”
Daan: "Maybe it's the autumn reckoning." ”
Zhao Shen frowned slightly, "Although those people are hateful, it is not a wise move to settle accounts after the autumn, if Yuan Li does not know how to be flexible, it may indeed cause trouble." ”
He got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and see." ”
Yuan Li doesn't know how to be flexible, but it depends on whether he is willing or not.
If it was before, he would definitely not want to, and the benefits after the adaptation could not fall on himself, so it was better to catch and kill, not only to get some loot, but also as a credit in the merit book.
But now, he already knows that he has to be anxious about Zhao Hanzhang's anxieties, and worry about Zhao Hanzhang's worries, so he will first explore Zhao Hanzhang's thoughts before acting.
Xun Fan reported the matter, he originally wanted to punish a small punishment and a big commandment, find it out, grasp the handle in his hand, and the girl may be able to use it in the future.
So he only has two goals, to find out the truth and grasp the handle; As well as the development of fine work, burying the nails of the Ministry of Justice.
As a result, the first message of Zheng Quan, the nail who had just been subdued, was that Zheng Zhi and Yu Hong wanted to poison him and Xun Fan.
Yuan Li smiled, leaned forward and asked him, "You said Yu Hong wants to poison me?" ”
Zheng Quan shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Lord Lang didn't say yes, yes, it was Zheng Zhiti." ”
"When and how are they going to do it?"
Zheng Quan whispered: "They want to lead the general to the river, and when the time comes, they will have a chance encounter, and they will be poisoned in the wine when they have dinner together......"
Zheng Quandao: "Originally, I wanted to start in the house, invite more musicians and dancers, with Mrs. Xun as a companion, you will not doubt it, when everything is settled, and then deal with all the people you brought, throw people into the big river, and report to the court that you fell into the water when you inspected the riverbank, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it will be difficult for the general to detect the truth." ”
Yuan Li laughed angrily, "They are smart, how many evil things have they done to dare to murder angels?" ”
Zheng Quan whispered: "General, you are too tight, and you are known for your prestige, our lord Lang is very afraid, and Zheng Zhi is on the side, so he has this idea." ”
"After you enter the city, you are careful to enter and exit, it is difficult for them to find a chance to start, Lord Lang originally dispelled this idea, but as soon as you came, you checked the account book and checked the grain store, but you took eighteen people in two days, this, take people, then it will be their turn."
Yuan Li: "So, Yu Hong finally agreed." ”
Zheng Quan bowed his head and said, "Although he didn't respond, he didn't stop Zheng Zhi." ”
This is very slippery, it is naturally good, but if it doesn't work, it can still be pushed on Zheng Zhi.
Yuan Li smiled, "It seems that Yu Junshou is not all about his wife and brother." ”
Zheng Quan trembled and did not dare to speak.
Although he chose Yuan Li, he is Yu Hong's confidant and old man, if the other party can live, he still hopes that he can live.
Zheng Quan felt uncomfortable, he had persuaded Yu Hong openly and secretly in the past two days, which had already made him angry.
Zheng Quan knew that if he continued to persuade him, Yu Hong would definitely get tired of him.
So when he saw the extra note and a cup of hot tea in the room, he agreed to take refuge in Yuanli.
Not only for the future of his two sons, but also for the lives of their family.
From his point of view, Yu Hong will definitely not be able to fight Yuan Li, even if he is lucky and really kills Yuan Li, he may not be able to hide from the general.
He didn't know who put the note in his house, but he could keep it quiet, and the person who put it in the house the moment before he came back must have been very close.
Legend has it that General Yuan holds the secret department of the Zhao family's army, and there are his spies everywhere in the world.
Yu Hong doesn't do it, once he kills Yuan Li and Xun Fan, the secret agents hiding in the county guard mansion will definitely find the abnormality, and when the time comes, the Yu family will count as one, don't even think about running.
He is a subordinate, and his two sons are also subordinate, and if the master's family commits such a big thing, they are likely to be implicated and beheaded.
So in order to live, he could only betray Yu Hong.
Yuan Li pulled him up from the ground, reached out and pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't go to your heart, you are not a betrayal, you have to be a human first, and then a slave." ”
He said: "You are a Jin person, you must first not betray the country, not betray the general, and then yourself, your owner." ”
Zheng Quan was stunned, "Don't betray the country?" I, I'm a traitor, so the general is still willing to believe me? ”
"Why don't you believe it?" Yuan Li asked: "Let me ask you, if the Xiongnu State is still there, and Yu Hong wants to surrender to the enemy, will you submit to Yu Hong, or will you resist for the country and the people?" ”
Zheng Quan: "I am a slave, naturally it is the head of the family to do something, I can only obey." ”
"Wrong!" Yuan Li roared loudly: "Slaves and maids are also people, since they are human beings, they have a bottom line, and the country is the most unbetrayal, even if he is the master of your family, it should be the opposite!" ”
Zheng Quan's eyes widened.
Yuan Li pinched his shoulder and said: "This is what the general said, this is still sent to you today, you have to remember, it is not you who betrayed Yu Hong, but Yu Hong first betrayed the court, betrayed the general, and betrayed the people under his rule, and you are fighting for justice and the country, from today on, you are not Yu Hong's slave, but a person from the Ministry of Justice, a good person, and a hero of the Great Jin!" ”
Zheng Quan's lips trembled, and he asked in disbelief, "I, my beloved?" Is it a hero? ”
Yuan Li nodded heavily.
Zheng Quan's broken heart was pasted again, and his collapsed faith was re-established, he nodded and muttered: "Yes, I am a good person, I am a good person, I am still a hero......
When Zheng Quan left, his eyes were full of light, and his face was uncontrollable joy.
Yuan Li's personal soldier Shi Si came back after sending people away, moved to Yuan Li's side and said: "General, he is a traitor, he can fight once and he can fight a second time, do we really have to rely on him to do internal response?" Would you like to bring a few more people? ”
"No, to deal with Yu Hong, a few of us are enough," Yuan Li said: "I asked him to be an internal agent to cultivate him, this Zheng Quan is more suitable than Du Xin to be a spy." ”
"Huh? Why? That Du Xin was sent out after we raised it, and this Zheng Quan rebelled halfway. ”
Although Yu Hong is not a good person, Shi Si also looks down on the minions who betray their masters.
Yuan Li glanced at him and said, "Zheng Quanfei is a repeater, if you are afraid that he will betray us, then establish a belief in him that he must not betray us." ”
Yuan Li knows Zheng Quan best, because he vaguely saw his former self in him.
He will fight for power and money, but he will definitely not betray the girl!
Shi Si scratched his head, "General, I don't understand. ”
"If you don't understand, if you do, won't you be a general?" Yuan Li turned around, "Let's make arrangements, we will go to the county guard mansion as a guest the day after tomorrow." To catch thieves and kill the angels of the court, you have to take a spot. ”
Yuan Li sneered again and again, "Originally, I just wanted to pinch them, and the future will be long, but I didn't expect them to rush to find death, even so, we can't fail them." ”
Shi Si became excited, happily answered "yes", and rushed out to find a robe with strong martial arts, "I said I couldn't let them go, the people who raise prices are the most hateful, and all six members of my family starved to death like this......"
Shi Si went out and ordered ten good hands in one go, but Yuan Li only picked four, "The rest of the people are quietly ambushed outside the county guard's mansion, be careful, don't show your whereabouts, wait for my signal, go in and get people immediately." ”
Shi Si said: "Is there too little for the six of us, the safety of the general is the priority." ”
Yuan Li: "In the past two days, Yu Hong's foundation has been turned over by me, those people in his hands are useless, there are only a lot of people, it really fights, and when the three of us form a formation, we can make two military formations, then Yu Hong is around me again, I can reach out and catch people." ”
Shi Si: "The humble position is to worry about Mrs. Xun, it is not a problem for us to save our lives, but if we want to protect Mrs. Xun again, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”
Yuan Li's eyes were deep, but he said: "Don't worry, we have high kung fu, those are all small minions, and when the time comes, protect Mrs. Xun in the middle, and he and Yu Hong are friends, Yu Hong may not attack him." ”
"But just now Zheng Quan didn't say that they wanted to ...... you and Mrs. Xun together"
Yuan Li looked at him coldly, Shi Si immediately stopped talking, lowered his head and said, "Yes, I understand the humble position." ”
Yuan Li said coldly: "Don't do anything superfluous. ”
If Xun Fan survives, it is his luck; If he dies, it will also be Yu Hong's sin, and no one can be blamed.
The old ministers around the little emperor were basically formed by the Xun Fan and the Xun Group brothers, among which the Xun Fan had the highest prestige.
If he dies, the Xun group will not be able to control this force, the little emperor's power will definitely be reduced, and the girl will be more smooth when she wants to go further.
Yuan Li made a plan, and when he went out to investigate the case the next day, he deliberately met with Yu Hong.
Yu Hong really mentioned, "When the lower official reviewed the accounts of repairing the embankment last year, he found that a sum of money did not match, the county guard recorded that 50,000 square meters of bricks were produced, but the accounts on the other side of the embankment showed that 30,000 square meters were used, and 20,000 square meters of bricks were missing, and Fu Shangshu was personally responsible for the overhaul of the Yellow River last year, if Shang Shuling knew about this matter, wouldn't it be ......."
He sighed loudly and saluted repeatedly, "I also asked General Yuan to help find out the truth, and these things are related to this flood......"
Yuan Li took the account book and looked at it carefully, and closed it after a while, "I know about this." ”
Yu Hong asked, "General Yuan wants to go to the embankment to have a look?" Last year, the foreman who followed the repair of the Yellow River lived by the river and was considered an insider. ”
"Let's go back in two days, and find out about the grain first, and then calculate that this amount belongs to another matter."
Yu Hong was a little anxious, in two days, with Yuan Li's current speed of investigation, maybe he would really get to the bottom of the investigation, and then he and Zheng Zhi were afraid that they would be arrested.
"If there is really a problem with the embankment, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, and after the flood, there will always be epidemics among the people, and those foremen don't know if they will stay at home, and the lower officials feel that this matter should be sooner rather than later."
Yuan Li frowned slightly, "But the general is already urging the matter of grain prices, General Zu has already set a time to return to Beijing, and Ming Zhongshu is also going back, now only Xun Taifu is still here, and some ministers in the court are the most cranky, so the general urges me to end this matter as soon as possible, so as to escort Xun Taifu back to Beijing." ”
Yu Hong: ......
Yuan Li glanced at him and said, "I just want to tell you, tomorrow I will go to the house to visit Mrs. Xun, so that I can talk back to the general." ”
When Yu Hong heard this, his heart that fell to the bottom immediately rose, and he said happily: "Okay, I don't know when the general will come to the door, I must prepare wine and food in advance to entertain the general." ”
"There's no need for hospitality, I'll stay for an hour at noon and have a light meal with Mrs. Xun," Yuan Li was afraid that there would be too many people to move at that time, so he emphasized: "Yu Junshou, it's better not to show up than those musicians and dancers, otherwise, be careful that I bribe the angel with you." ”
Yu Hong was unhappy in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Who is buried, who holds a banquet and invites guests not to invite Rakuki dancers?
But Yuan Liken can come to the door, even if there is no rakuki dancer, there is a way to invite him to drink at that time.
Yu Hong's heart was full of thoughts, and he decided to arrange it when he went back.
No, he can't arrange this matter personally, he can tell Zheng Zhi and let him arrange it.
Yu Hong lowered his eyelids to hide the thoughts in his heart, and after retreating, he went to Zheng Zhi first.
The next day, Yuan Li only brought Shi Si and four guards to the door, and he was still carrying the fruits he bought from the street.
"This is for Mrs. Xun."
Yu Hong didn't dislike the gift coldly, and led the person into the house with Zheng Zhi with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Xun is already waiting." ”
Xun Fan was confused, looking at Yuan Li who came over, and didn't understand why he, who had always refused to have too much entanglement with Yu Hong, suddenly decided to come to the banquet.
Zheng Zhi prepared a table of wine and food, and asked Yuan Li to sit down with a warm face, and personally carried a pot to pour wine for them, "General Yuan's willingness to come is really beyond our expectations, and I have to thank Mrs. Xun for this......"
At this time, Zhao Shen, who was running wildly all the way, had already entered the city, and he revealed his identity at the gate of the city, and after inquiring about Yuan Li's whereabouts, he went straight to the broken house.
"What, go to the county guard's mansion for a banquet?" Zhao Shen glanced at the three or two crooked melons and cracked dates in the courtyard, squinted his eyes and asked, "Didn't he bring two hundred personal soldiers?" What about so many people? Why are you all wounded? ”
See you tomorrow
