Just when the old and young people comprehended the world and summed up a lot of ideas, the carriage had already arrived at the door of Xiangguo's mansion.

Briefing, greetings, needless to say, after Han Zeng invited Shao Xi and Lao Wu into the main hall, he congratulated Shao Xi again and again.

"The old man wants to congratulate the little friend! Today, when you enter the Hajj, you can see that the gifts you give have won the heart of my pilgrim, and the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries must be a matter of course. ”

Shao Xi also hurriedly said politely: "Everything still depends on the help of Lord Xiangguo, if it weren't for Lord Xiangguo's efforts to promote this matter, where would the younger generation have the opportunity to pick up this ready-made credit?" The younger generation came to the door this time to thank Xiangguo. ”

When Han Zeng heard Shao Xi's words, he was also very proud in his heart. At the beginning, he strongly advocated sending an envoy to Jingyuan Kingdom as an envoy, on the one hand, he wanted to stimulate Fu Zuoliang in front of Zhao Hongjin, so that he would make radical remarks on this matter and cause Zhao Hongjin to be dissatisfied; On the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to get further contact with that person in the Jingyuan Dynasty, and after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, border trade and personnel exchanges made it more convenient to transmit information in the future.

Now it seems that this move not only disgusted Fu Zuoliang, but also made Zhao Hongjin and Jing Yuan's envoys quite satisfied. Han Zeng secretly laughed in his heart that all the people were used by himself, and he didn't know his true purpose, but he wanted to thank himself.

"Huh! I don't have to thank me for this matter, this is originally for the two countries to benefit the country and the people, the old man as the prime minister must be for the people of Nanzhao, I hope that after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, they can strengthen business exchanges between each other, so as to increase the wealth of our Nanzhao country, so that the people's lives are more prosperous. This was originally an extremely beneficial thing to my Southern Zhao Kingdom, so why did Xiaoyou come to thank me? On the contrary, the old man should be grateful to Xiaoyou. ”

These words were so high-sounding that even Shao Xi had to secretly admire Han Zeng's ability to be duplicitous in his heart, and he was really perfect and at the peak, and his face was neither red nor white when he said these words.

If he didn't know that he wanted to use his own hands to squeeze out Fu Zuoliang, so as to gain military power, and would create chaos in the southern border of Jingyuan Kingdom in the future, Shao Xi really thought that what he said was from his heart!

Since Han Zeng wanted to act, Shao Xi was naturally happy to cooperate, so he took the opportunity to bring him a "good news".

"Sangkoku-sama is so polite! If there was no help from Xiangguo, where would this errand of the younger generation be so smooth? Now that the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is about to be promoted, in order to express their gratitude to Lord Xiangguo, the younger generation has prepared a special gift, but before offering this gift, the younger generation also wants to see the sincerity of Lord Xiangguo. ”

Han Zeng felt a little surprised, Shao Xi had already brought him a gift when he came to visit before, and he came here today and said that there was a special gift, which made him very curious.

However, Shao Xi also said that he wanted to see his sincerity, he didn't know the meaning of Shao Xi's words, and wondered what kind of medicine Shao Xi was selling in this gourd?

"Oh? Do you have a gift again? It seems that the old man can open his eyes again. However, Xiaoyou said that before giving this gift, it depends on whether the old man is sincere, I don't know what Xiaoyou is referring to? How do you want the old man to express his sincerity? ”

Shao Xi just smiled faintly, took out the secret letter that Fu Zuoliang handed over to him from his arms, held it in his hand and shook it, and said: "This copy in my hand is what Lord Xiangguo has been asking for, and the general Fu Zuoliang is guilty of communicating with foreign countries. ”

When Han Zeng heard this, a surprised and greedy gaze flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen the richest wealth in the world, and even the beard on his chin was trembling slightly, which showed how excited he was at this time.

"Xiaoyou, you said that what you are holding in your hand is the evidence of Fu Zuoliang's collusion with someone Jingyuan, I don't know what kind of evidence this is? Is it sufficient to prove that he is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? ”

"This is a secret letter from Jing Yuanguo, and this secret letter is enough to prove that the general Fu Zuoliang is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. With this letter, Lord Xiangguo can launch an impeachment in the court to force Fu Zuoliang to withdraw from the Nanzhao court, and the content of the secret letter and the person who wrote the letter must be what Lord Xiangguo wants to know the most, right? ”

Han Zeng was shocked when he heard this!

It was only two days ago that he talked to Shao Xi about Fu Zuoliang's possible collusion with someone in the Jingyuan Dynasty, but he didn't think that Shao Xi had already got the evidence in his hands at this moment, and he didn't expect that this young Jingyuan envoy would have such a thorough ability, and he could get what he dreamed of in such a short period of time, which was really much beyond his expectations.

"Dare to ask Xiaoyou, how did you get such important evidence in two days? You must know that the General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and although Fu Zuoliang and his people seem to be reckless, they are actually very cautious, how could such an important secret letter be obtained by you so easily? Isn't Xiaoyou happy with the old man? ”

Han Zeng's words revealed his suspicions about Shao Xi, such an important thing was obtained within two days, and he had doubts in his heart. This old guy actually wanted to test whether Shao Xi had formed some kind of tacit understanding with Fu Zuoliang through this kind of questioning.

If Shao Xi can't give him a convincing explanation, he can conclude that Shao Xi has reached a cooperative relationship with Fu Zuoliang.

If Shao Xi and Fu Zuoliang cooperated, then it would not be someone else who would have to deal with him.

Before Han Zeng could get Fu Zuoliang's handle, he had to make sure that this was not a trap set against him. If you want to get rid of the other party, you must first protect yourself, and he will never do such a thing as stealing chickens and rice.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Shao Xi had already predicted his prediction.

When he got this secret letter from Fu Zuoliang the day before, Shao Xi had already thought that when he put this letter in front of Han Zeng, he would definitely have some doubts, and he would definitely ask himself to give a reasonable explanation.

If this kind of question was thought of by Shao Xi in advance, then it would no longer be a problem, because Shao Xi would definitely prepare a perfect answer for him. If he didn't even have this kind of preparation, Shao Xi would not have asked Fu Zuoliang for this secret letter.

Shao Xi raised his hand and pointed at Lao Wu next to him, and asked Han Zeng, "Does Lord Xiangguo know who my personal old servant is?" ”

Han Zeng was stunned by Shao Xi's question, you yourself said that he was your personal servant, why did you come to ask me? Could it be that he has another identity?

Although he thought so in his heart, Han Zeng also understood that since Shao Xi was able to ask such a question, it meant that this personal servant of his was by no means an idle person, and it must have something to do with getting this secret letter.

"Who is this......?"

Shao Xi said proudly: "Lord Xiangguo may not know much about the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, and this old servant beside me is a famous thief on the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains back then. Don't look at his age, but his ability has not diminished, and he can still come and go freely in places like the General's Mansion, as if he was in a no-man's land. This secret letter was stolen by him last night after the two of us went to the General's Mansion yesterday to find out. ”

Although Shao Xi's explanation was quite reasonable, Han Zeng was still skeptical, he couldn't believe that just by relying on this thin old man in front of him, he could sneak into the General's Mansion and steal such an important secret letter, if he really had this ability, wouldn't he have no secret in front of Shao Xi?

"Such an important secret letter was stolen, why didn't Fu Zuoliang look strange when he went to court today? Supposedly, if something so important fell into the hands of others, how could he be so calm? ”

As soon as Han Zeng's words fell, he saw Lao Wu raise his hand, and saw a jade pendant hanging on his palm and swaying gently.

The jade pendant is green and transparent, warm and flawless, exquisite carving, unique ingenuity, can be called the top grade of jade, and it can be seen that it is also valuable.

"Lord Xiangguo, please forgive me, such an important belongings have fallen into my hands, I wonder if Lord Xiangguo has ever found out? I don't have any other skills, old man, and it's not difficult to get something into my own hands without others noticing. ”

After Han Zeng saw the jade pendant, he hurriedly reached out and touched his waist, but found that the place where the jade pendant was originally hung was empty, and the jade pendant hanging on his body had fallen into the hands of the old man at some point, why didn't he notice it in the slightest?

At this time, Han Zeng couldn't help but feel stunned, and looked at Lao Wu with incredible eyes, he couldn't believe that this person had such a ability, and he could take away his personal belongings at will under his nose.

Shao Xi got up, took the jade pendant from Lao Wu's hand, walked in front of Han Zeng, and handed the jade pendant back to Han Zeng with both hands.

"Lord Xiangguo's belongings have been taken away for so long and he hasn't found out, not to mention that Fu Zuoliang hid the secret letter in the secret compartment of the study, and he won't stay there all the time to stare at it. This servant of mine is very skillful, and he enters and exits the General's Mansion silently, and no one notices, thinking that Fu Zuoliang may not have found out that this letter was stolen at this time, how can he show a strange color? ”

Looking at the jade pendant handed back to his hand, and hearing Shao Xi's words again, Han Zeng's heart couldn't help but tremble.

You must know that the General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are far more guards and families in the mansion than his Xiangguo Mansion, and under such layers of security, he can still sneak into the study to steal secret letters, if the master and servant want to find something in their own mansion, it doesn't seem to be difficult. I wonder if the two people in front of me have already got any handle in their hands at this time?

Thinking of this, Han Zeng felt that the sweat on his head was about to come down, and he panicked inexplicably.

"This old gentleman is really extraordinary, and the old man has also gained insight today. I should have thought that I would never be an idle person who could follow Xiaoyou, and with this gentleman's skills, it is indeed not surprising that he can sneak into the General's Mansion and steal this secret letter, and the old man deeply admires Mr. ”

"Do you still have any questions?"

"No, no! The old man believed that what Xiaoyou had in his hand was Fu Zuoliang's secret letter. ”
