It's just that Zhang Zheng is a little curious. Since Cui Liang is Cui Jin's brother, he must also be from the side branch of the Cui clan in Qinghe.

As far as Zhang Zheng knows, the positions of the Qinghe Cui clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan are not very consistent. Cui's attitude towards the academy is not friendly.

And this time the academy opens, the Cui family will inevitably use means to deal with it. It can be said that Zhang Zheng and Cui's are enemies.

But in fact, it seems that the Cui family that Zhang Zheng met does not seem to be in line with Cui's position.

There is Cui Li, the second son of the main branch of the Cui family. Then there is Cui Jin, who presided over the construction of the first phase of the Tang Royal Academy.

Now it's Cui Liang who is the assassin of a state. The attitude of the three Cui family people towards themselves confused Zhang Zheng.

That's why he stepped out of the gate of the Thorn History Mansion, and Zhang Zheng asked Cui Liang with some curiosity: "Cui Thorn History, I heard Cui Langzhong say when I was in Chang'an, and your brother seems to be from a branch of the Cui clan in Qinghe." As far as I know, the Cui family's attitude towards the academy is not friendly. But the two noble brothers seem to have a completely different attitude towards the academy than their own family, why is this? In fact, whether it is friendly or not, Zhang Zheng looked at Cui Liang's face and considered the wording.

In fact, not only is the attitude unfriendly, the Cui family simply regards the academy as a great enemy of life and death. Theoretically, this topic should belong to the family secret.

But Cui Liang shook his head disapprenosingly and smiled: "Cui Liang is Cui Liang, and Cui is Cui." Cui Liang is Cui's person, but Cui's can't represent Cui Liang's position. As soon as Cui Liang said this, Zhang Zheng understood.

The Cui family, who dares to be known as the head of the five surnames and seven family valves, is not monolithic inside.

"I see!" Zhang Zheng nodded, and the figure of the young man who warned him halfway to Jinyang once again appeared in his mind.

Although it is only a one-sided relationship, Zhang Zheng always feels that the dialogue between Cui Li and himself seems to be more than just a hint to Jinyang.

Perhaps, there is a deeper meaning, but Zhang Zheng has no clue now.

"Does Cui Tingshi know anything about a young man named Cui Li from the Cui family?" Zhang Zheng asked Cui Liang for Cui Li's name.

The tone seemed to be just a casual question, and there was a light expression on his face. And the moment Cui Liang heard the name Cui Li, his eyes suddenly flickered, and then suddenly returned to normal.

But this subtle move was still taken into Zhang Zheng's eyes.

"I've heard that he is the second son of the contemporary head of the Cui family, but my ancestor has moved out of the ancestral land for too long, so I don't know much about it." Cui Liang seemed to think about it in his mind, and then replied to Zhang Zheng.

The statement was not much different from Cui Jin, Zhang Zheng smiled and didn't care.

"I see." Zhang Zheng suddenly changed his voice and asked Cui Liang: "By the way, when did Cui Tingshi take the position of Yangzhou Assassin?" Cui Liang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly replied: "This official is the Yangzhou assassin who moved from Yinzhou after the autumn exam last year. Then he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, just ask." Zhang Zheng really seemed to be just asking casually, and during the conversation, the two had already walked side by side to the dock by the river.

It's funny to say, obviously Cui Liang said that he had some doubts about the Royal Academy and wanted to discuss with Zhang Zheng.

But along the way, most of the time, Zhang Zheng has been asking. But neither of them paid much attention to these details.

Walking side by side to the edge of the pier, the first thing that caught the eyes of the two was not the white sails dotted on the river.

It's a blue river that is so wide that you can't see the edge at a glance! This is the longest and widest river in East Asia in Datang - the Yangtze River!

Yangzhou is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, and the water surface of the river on the plain is gentle like a mirror.

A big river is not the same as a big river. The temper of the great river is not good, and occasionally it is angry and the floods wantonly kill the creatures in its arms.

The river is very gentle most of the time, and only after crossing the Jianghan and entering the middle of the river can you see the appearance of the river for thousands of miles.

If it is a big river, it is a grumpy father. Then the lower reaches of the river are a docile mother.

The boat prepared by Cui Liang for Zhang Zheng and others was quietly moored on the dock near the Yangzhou side of the river.

The clerk who was sent out by Cui Liang to handle this matter was looking forward to it. When they came to the riverbank, Zhang Zheng and Cui Liang stopped talking very tacitly.

"Cui Tingshi, thank you for your help, thank you for your work!"

"No matter, Zhang Xianbo has a place to get his own official, just open his mouth!" After saying goodbye, Zhang Zheng took the lead in stepping on the ship.

The boat prepared by the scribe for everyone is not large, and it is the most common sightseeing passenger boat on the river. The ship has one floor, separated by a canopy and a small room.

Just enough to sit down Zhang Zheng and his party of seventeen people, plus three sailors who were steering, rocking, and helming.

and Cui Liang sent out the scribes who took Zhang Zheng and others to find the residence of the sailor, a total of 21 people crowded the boat.

After getting on the boat, Li Chengqian took off his disguise and glanced at the scribe sent by Cui Liang to lead the way. Seeing that the scribe's attention did not seem to be on his side.

Then he asked Zhang Zheng in a low voice: "Brother Zheng'er, do you think there is a problem with that Yangzhou assassin history?" ”

"Uh, why do you ask?" Zhang Zheng asked with some confusion. Li Chengqian's eyes were suspicious: "He himself wanted to come out and say that he had a question to ask you, but I only saw that you kept asking him questions there." So, there must be something wrong with him. Zhang Zheng said with some tears and laughter: "It's just a casual ask, after all, people have helped us so much!" It's normal to say a few polite words. Listening to Zhang Zheng say this, it seems that this explanation is also very reasonable.

But Li Chengqian still felt that something was wrong in his heart, and continued to ask: "Really? Zhang Zheng nodded affirmatively and replied, "Really! The conversation between the two was ordinary, but neither of them noticed.

The scribe, who didn't seem to be paying attention to the two of them, had already taken the conversation between the two to heart.

"Okay!" Li Chengqian saw that Zhang Zheng didn't seem to be deceiving himself, so he wrinkled his nose and didn't ask. It's just that Li Chengqian didn't notice that when Zhang Zheng's afterglow glanced at the clerk next to the boat, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Is there a problem with the history of Yangzhou thorns? Perhaps! Where in the world are there so many coincidences. And Zhang Zheng didn't think that his identity could attract the chief officials of a state to take the initiative to intersect.

But Zhang Zheng knew that it was best for him not to say anything and do nothing now.
