"These people are all anti-party ...... who are attached to Cai Xianqing"

Guoxiang walked to the front of the lobby of Dali Temple, and heard Lan Yuan talking in the back room, so he opened a little crack in the door, and looked through it, and saw him holding a list in his hand, pointing to the name on it.

"You're going to keep killing?" The little officer standing in front of him asked in a trembling voice.

"Of course," Lan Yuan put down the list, "for the anti-party, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Catch someone! ”

"Yes......"

The little official was ordered to go out, just bumping into the Hunan people, and hurriedly saluted; The Hunan people only told him to be a good student, and when they saw him leave, they came straight to see Lan Yuan.

Lan Yuan raised his head and smiled, dragging out a pair of chairs: "Lianghou doesn't go to discuss with the ministers about the book, why do you go back here?" ”

"It seems that you are happy with me, and you don't plan to leave......" said the Hunan man, who sat down and said with a joke, "but in return, you have to do something for us." ”

"Say." Lan Yuan agreed happily.

"You serve in the East Palace, you should be able to take advantage of the convenience of access and contact with a few officers, right? For example, the newly promoted Si Ban Zhuang Zhang, what about others? ”

Lan Yuan listened to his strange question, but he also replied honestly: "This person has always been Shi Xiushen's confidant, and he does things neatly and without ambiguity. It's just that the sudden rise in the position will inevitably become extravagant, and all the thoughts will be put on pleasure. I heard that he is also seeking bribes from many parties, but I don't know whether it is true or not. ”

"Can that ...... Pull him to our side? "The eyes of the people of Hunan are shining.

"Him?" Lan Yuan sneered, "A rough man who only knows how to practice martial arts, what use do you want him!" ”

"You can't think like that," the Hunan people then persuaded, "Didn't Shi Xiushen also be used very well by Ye Yongjia at the beginning?" It shouldn't be wrong to follow the wisdom of the past now. ”

Lan Yuan was skeptical: "What are you going to let him do?" ”

"It's simple. Shi Xiushen is good friends with Ye Yongjia, and his subordinates have been exposed to it, and there must be one or two people who are still working for Ye Dang. If you can work together with him to set up a game and accuse Ye Yongjia of 'forming a border army outside and a janissary guard inside', wouldn't it be a clever plan? ”

Lan Yuan suddenly realized: "The good marquis is really shrewd!" I am still in charge of handling the reverse case, and it is not uncommon to find out another comrade, and absolutely no one doubts it. It's just ......" At this point, he asked suspiciously, "You don't care about the dismantling of the new army?" ”

"How can it not be done?" The Hunan people laughed, "It's all one thing!" It's like we're fishing, we have to have a line before we can tie the hook. ”

"It seems that Shoji is the bait." Lan Yuan caught his words, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Lan Yuan temporarily got rid of the errand of handling the case and returned to the East Palace. In order not to make the emperor suspicious, he did not often meet Zhuang Zhang, but invited him to drink together at the palace banquet and took the opportunity to talk, so he gradually knew the person's heart. When he was ready, he invited him to his house to sit down, and specially saved a lunch.

"Look at the tea." Lan Yuan waved his hand slightly, and the servants hurriedly withdrew the food and replaced it with two bowls of hot tea.

Zhuang Zhang was a little embarrassed to see him so gracious, got up and excused himself: "No, there is still official business in the next place, so I won't bother Lan Shi to read, and I will come back another day." ”

Lan Yuan smiled: "Is your official business more important than my affairs here?" ”

Zhuang Zhang still didn't understand, he had put a big cloth bag on the table, untied it, and saw a lot of silver rolling out of it, piled up like snowflakes, and it was difficult to count for a while.

"If your lord has anything to do, just command, why do you need to do this!" Zhuang Zhang was dumbfounded, and hurriedly bowed down.

"A total of 1,000 taels of silver," Lan Yuan picked up a piece of silver and played with it in his hand, "If you help me do this, it will all be yours: pick out a subordinate from the barracks who is interested in the Ye Party, and order him to communicate with them." As soon as there is the slightest suspicious sign, they will accuse me of rebellion, do you understand? ”

Zhuang Zhang's eyes wandered, and he said for a long time: "I probably understand...... But I really don't understand what the 'heart to the leaf party' means? Our guards are all from martial arts, and they don't know a few words, and they never interfere in court politics, but they are loyal to the emperor. ”

"Don't pretend to be confused for me here," Lan Yuan put the silver back, his face slightly gloomy, "What kind of soldiers did your former master raise, does no one really know?" ”

"But ......" Zhuang Zhang has followed Shi Xiushen for many years, and has a deep affection for him, and because he was entrusted by him, he got this forbidden position, which is really unbearable; However, he looked at the table full of silver, and his heart itched, and he secretly thought: "Master Shi is disheartened and has retired, I am afraid that he has long stopped caring about the affairs of the court. If he doesn't pay attention, I can't bear the reputation of being ungrateful. ’

So he took a big step forward and replied: "The leaf thief is a national traitor, how can he be allowed to get involved in the forbidden!" It would be better to lure those eagles and dogs into the net. ”

Lan Yuan was overjoyed: "You know the current affairs." Come, and I will command thee counsel. Then he whispered in his ear for a while, and the latter received them one by one.

Zhuang Zhang rode through several palace gates, and returned to the camp in a moment. He tied his horse, looked at the sun, and thought that today's court meeting should begin, so he summoned four henchmen into the middle hall, claiming to discuss secret matters.

The four of them walked in together, and saw Zhuang Zhang facing the wall, stroking a silver helmet, completely desolate.

They were shocked and asked, "The general has only been promoted to the top of the ban, it is because he is full of ambition, why is he so depressed?" ”

Zhuang Zhang turned around, patted the helmet and sighed: "This is a relic left by Master Shi." I can't inherit it, and every time I see it, I feel ashamed. After that, I burst into tears.

The four asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"You must all know that Master Shi has been the best friend of Ye Yongjia in his life, but Ye Gong has become more and more embarrassed recently, and the new army that was finally formed is about to be dismantled, but I can only watch from the sidelines, and there is no way to remedy it, if Lord Shi knows, what will he think of me?" Zhuang Zhang's eyes were full of helplessness.

The three of them were silent, and only one of them, surnamed Song, said loudly: "I don't think this matter may not be able to be saved!" When Master Shi was there before, he often sent me to the Criminal Department to see Master Ye, and I had a good relationship with that Minghuiguang, so I could talk. Why didn't the general send me to find out what was going on with them first, so that we could get the right medicine? ”

Zhuang Zhangden glanced at him, then restrained his emotions, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Captain, then I will leave everything to you......"

Minghui stood in front of the mirror and fastened his official hat. He was about to straighten his messy beard when he noticed a small official walking behind him, and asked, "Who sent you?" Do what? ”

"Chief Cui asked me to ask, when the time comes, what does Ming Shilang plan to say?"

"What do I say, what's the matter with him?"

"But this is Cui ...... after all"

"Enough!" Minghuiguang stared at the beads of his eyes and roared, but when he saw the frightened appearance of the little official, he felt speechless, and helplessly calmed his anger: "I...... Say hello to him personally. As he said this, he stared at himself in the mirror, and his sideburns seemed to be a little whiter than before.
