"Yan'er, what to do with Zhang Qing?" Zhao Jichen asked, and Luo Bei on the side also stepped forward.

"Don't worry, Bei'er, you go to Qingxiang to check if the news is true, and then find someone to find where Han Qiao'er is placed, if the news is true, we will follow the original practice, save people first, and then execute." Xia Jingyan took a sip of tea and said it lightly.

Also, there have been many murders, Xia Jingyan will not be afraid, but Zhao Jichen is still worried.

"Yan'er, if you kill someone else, I won't care about you, but this ......" Zhao Jichen stopped suddenly.

Xia Jingyan was a little surprised, Zhao Jichen rarely blocked it, and in addition to being surprised, he still had to ask Qingming details.

"Yan'er doesn't have to be killed, it's just that Brother Chen, what are your concerns? What happened to Zhang Qing? ”

"Actually, Zhang Qing has heard of these things, but the prince cares about the overall situation more than you and me, and I also know a little, Zhang Qing's family has been officials for generations since his great-grandfather, assisting seven generations of emperors, with great power and too much involvement, if he is killed, the Dongjiang officialdom will probably be shaken three times, and it will ......"

Zhao Jichen's eyes were a little erratic, he didn't know whether to say this or not.

"Brother Chen, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it, why not say anything between you and me?" Xia Jingyan handed Zhao Jichen a cup of tea.

"And...... I heard about Zhang Qing and King Yi...... There is also a connection. ”

"Uncle Huang!" Xia Jingyan almost screamed in surprise, and after a little thought, he shook his head one after another, "Well, it's impossible, it's impossible, and Brother Chen, you don't know how strict Uncle Huang is, he strictly abides by the law of the country, and it can't be controlled by any party, you don't know, he started his temper at the beginning, but even his father dared to beat him." ”

"Is that so?"

"Hmm!" Xia Jingyan nodded heavily.

"That must be my news is untrue, and it will be checked again, but Yan'er, Zhang Qing's involvement in many is indeed true, and we have to think about his affairs in the long run."

"Okay, then I'll go to Zhang Qing's Mansion first to find out the news."

"Okay."

Zhao and Xia Jingyan scattered, Zhao and Luobei rushed to Qingxiang, Xia Jingyan broke away from others and left Li Ruomei by his side, it just so happened that Xia Jingxuan had an object in his hand to hand over to Zhang Qing, and he was just about to send someone to send it, Xia Jingyan hurriedly volunteered, took over this task, and immediately took Li Ruomei out of the carriage to Zhang's mansion.

"This little thing, why did the county lord come in person, just send someone to come!" As soon as he arrived at Zhang's Mansion, it didn't take long for Zhang Qing to invite Xia Jingyan into the door with that flattering face.

"The second brother has always been busy, I'm a little sister, it's good to be able to share some, besides, how can Master Zhang's affairs be a trivial matter."

Xia Jingyan and Zhang Qing said coaxing words to each other, and each had tricks in their hearts.

Zhang Qing thought: Xia Jingyan, this girl, that is the heart of Lord Xia and Wei Linghou! flattered her, and the rest of her life was absolutely smooth.

How did he know that Xia Jingyan was here to do him!

"Since the county lord is here, why don't you have lunch in the cold house and then leave, the little daughter of the lower official, since I saw you on the day of the sacrifice, I will talk every day to see the fairy sister again!" Zhang Qing smiled.

Xia Jingyan also smiled and nodded, Zhang Qing saw it, and immediately called his subordinates to call the wives and concubines in the house and their children to talk to Xia Jingyan.

Xia Jingyan thought that he was just here to take a walk around and see the situation in Zhang Qing's mansion, but who knew that Zhang Qing actually regarded this as an opportunity to be reused, and forcibly called more than 100 people in the mansion to please Xia Jingyan, Xia Jingyan was stunned, but he could only smirk and chat with them.

Those little sons of the Zhang family had to let Xia Jingyan watch them practice swords, to be honest, Xia Jingyan really wanted to show them a paragraph by himself, what kind of things were they practicing!

This is really too enthusiastic, Xia Jingyan really wanted to say: "Please let it go......"

finally ran out of lunch, and the Zhang family still wanted to find another reason to keep Xia Jingyan, Xia Jingyan was really frightened, and insisted on leaving in every possible way, but the people in Zhang's house couldn't keep her, so they could only let her go.

Xia Jingyan went out with a straight face, rubbed his face, and the good guy's face stiffened!

In the carriage, there were his own people everywhere, and Xia Jingyan spoke to Li Ruomei.

"County lord Niangniang, when you just talked to Zhang Qing's family, the slave saw that no one was paying attention around, and he took a turn in Zhang's mansion, and he had seen all the horns, and the little girl was not in the mansion, this ...... Where will the little girl go? Li Ruomei was sweating in a hurry.

"Old lady, if you are Zhang Qing, you robbed people, and you know that people in your house will often come to check, will you leave people in your house?" Xia Jingyan's expression was very calm, and he asked Li Ruomei rhetorically.

"Uh...... That's right...... The little girl? ”

"Of course it's hidden outside, when I was chatting with Zhang Qing's wife just now, she said that she knew that Zhang Qing had a lot of outer rooms outside, and he didn't hide it with his wife, so he said that he was raised in the old house."

"That's the little girl in the old mansion?!" Li Ruomei had hope on her face, but she was quickly extinguished by Xia Jingyan.

"Not necessarily, after all, Han Qiao'er is different from the outer room, and she may not be in the old mansion."

Li Ruomei lowered her head, her eyes were full of tears, Han Qiaoer is her only relative in this world, if Han Qiaoer is gone, then she might as well go to Huangquan as soon as possible to accompany her.

"The county lord sent someone to investigate secretly, knowing that you are Han Qiao'er's mother, it's normal to be anxious, the county lord won't say anything about you, but it's okay to cry next to the county lord, but when you see outsiders, you must not show any emotions, otherwise, if Zhang Qing finds out, he will definitely kill Han Qiao'er to prevent future troubles, then you will hurt her."

"Yes, yes, the slave will take care of his daughter, and he will not cause trouble for the county lord and Qiao'er......"

Xia Jingyan saw that Li Ruomei was really pitiful, so he handed a handkerchief to Li Ruomei, and secretly, he also asked Luo Beiduo to send more people to track down Han Qiaoer's location.

Tianzhu Pavilion's tracking ability can be imagined, which is unmatched by all the organizations in Sijiang.

Luobei quickly rushed to Qingxiang, inquired about Li Ruomei's family, and also observed the township chief's mansion, and found that the township chief had indeed changed, and this township chief was a well-known local profiteer.

Li Ruomei once had no hope of suing in Qingxiang, and wanted to flee to a higher level, but finally escaped from Qingxiang, and when she sued again in Yunxian County, she was beaten back to Qingxiang.

Although it is only a few petty officials, it can be dense, and Zhang Qing's power is really frightening, these officials have been replaced, and the imperial court has not known about it, indicating that some supervisors have also been replaced by Zhang Qing.

This is a muffled voice to do big things!

Zhang Qing pretended to be loyal on the surface, but who knew that behind the scenes, he was ambitious.

In this way, step by step control of officialdom, it is self-evident what you want to do.

A Li Ruomei incident led to so many things, Luo Bei was so shocked that he didn't have time to rush back, so he sent a letter to Xia Jingyan first.

No one expected that this letter would fall into Zhou Ranmiao's hands.

Since they knew that Xia Jingyan was the leader of Tianzhu Pavilion, Zhou Ranmao and Gu Yun had increased their attention, and it was self-evident what kind of benefits Tianzhu Pavilion would bring to Zhou Guo.

Between love and interests, Zhou Ranmao can still distinguish clearly.

The carrier pigeon flew into Xia Wang's mansion, and before it reached Xia Jingyan's hands, Gu Yun shot it down with an arrow, and Gu Yun took the letter and handed it to Zhou Ranmao.

Zhou Ranmiao looked at it carefully, and was also surprised, Zhang Qing looked inconspicuous, he did things honestly on weekdays, who knew that he had such ambitions, if he really looked at people, he couldn't just look at the surface, people's hearts were unpredictable.

"Cousin, what are we going to do? Do you want to care? Gu Yun was a little worried.

The situation in the Dongjiang River is chaotic, and the affairs in the officialdom will definitely affect the actions of the Zhou State.

Gu Yun was worried that Zhang Qing would affect the current situation, but as soon as he finished asking, he saw Zhou Ranmiao laughing inexplicably.

"Cousin, what are you laughing at?" Gu Yun was confused.

"Here's our chance." Zhou Ranmao patted Gu Yun's shoulder.

"Huh?"

Gu Yun was even more puzzled, but Zhou Ranmao was still smiling, and turned his back to lure Gu Yun into the house.

"Of course we have to take care of this matter, Yan'er is a quick-tempered person, if Zhang Qingzhen hurts the people, her temperament will definitely cut Zhang Qing with a thousand knives, but after all, Zhang Qing is involved too much, and Zhao Jichen will not let Yan'er kill Zhang Qing so unscrupulously, then the officialdom will be completely chaotic and cannot be controlled."

"So...... How do we do that? Do you want to use the Secret Guard to help the county lord? ”

"You!" Zhou Ranmiao knocked Gu Yun's head, "It's really stupid, what if we call the secret guard and are discovered, you drank too much soju!" ”

"What then? Is Zhang Qing dead or not? Gu Yun covered his head and asked.

"Zhang Qingzi must die, with the power of Tianzhu Pavilion, we don't need our help by force at all, we have to rely on our brains." Zhou Ranhao smiled as if there was joy at home.

"How to use it? Cousin, don't keep selling off, I don't have a good brain, you knew it on the first day! ”

"Zhang Qing wants to get rid of it, but the officialdom he has laid out can't be eliminated for a while, at this time, is there someone to replace him?"

"Oh!" Gu Yun suddenly realized.

"Zhang Qing's own position is not small, he is a first-class official in the imperial court, and he has some real power in his hands, plus the chess game he laid out himself, this is a great benefit for us."

"Then how do you know that if Zhang Qing dies, the prince will give you his place?"

"Because ......," Zhou Ranmiao paused, "There is no one available around the prince." ”

Gu Yun thought about it, it is indeed that Xia Jingsheng is harmonious with the ministers on the surface, of course, there are many people who are indeed loyal to him, but everyone is already wearing multiple hats, and the newcomers he has cultivated now have not yet been tested, who knows what they are like, Xia Jingsheng is suspicious, if he does not understand the people of the nine clans and the eighteen generations clearly, he will not dare to use this person.

The only thing that Xia Jingsheng can use now is Zhou Ranmao.

Zhou Ranmiao is right, this is a good opportunity, if it succeeds, then it will be easier to get the real power of Dongjiang, control people's hearts, and take Dongjiang.

"My cousin is right, then I'll hand over a carrier pigeon to the Yuqing Pavilion first."

"Okay."
