There was a dead silence in the room.

After a while, Long Zhengqing finally leaned back in his chair gloomily, "It turns out that it was Lord Xia who saved that person that day!" ”

Xia Jingyun opened his mouth and said: "So, all this can be regarded as having its own providence in the dark, who is Elder Long seeing that day?" Does it have anything to do with what came after? ”

Long Zhengqing lowered his head slightly and was silent.

Bai Yunbian and Ye Wenhe couldn't help but glance at each other, both of them had the same doubts.

Ye Hongluan glanced at Long Zhengqing, and then at Xia Jingyun, thoughtful.

Silence was tormented and depressed, and just when this depression disturbed people's restlessness, Xia Jingyun suddenly spoke, his tone was low and depressed, and even with a bit of a low roar, "Elder Long, don't you still understand the matter so far?" This is not a game in which both sides have a way out, but a fight to the death! ”

He looked at Long Zhengqing, "Ling Lang's death is ironclad evidence. And since they finally chose to attack Ling Lang, and Ling Lang died as they wished, even if you take refuge in them, they will no longer be able to trust you. Now I am the only one who can shelter you, and if you don't want to follow in his footsteps, you should know how to choose. ”

"Shi Dingzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, Qin Weizhong, the unbeatable minister of power, and this royal gold medal that I came to prove that I have the strength to protect you, and we also have the confidence to win in this struggle."

Long Zhengqing slowly raised his head, met Xia Jingyun's firm eyes, and said slowly: "The one who came to see my son at night that day claimed to be the confidant of Xiao Fengshan, the state pastor, and he asked me to secretly support the five elders and help them seize the power of the Cao Gang. ”

Ye Wenhe stood up and said angrily: "The surname is Long, how can you be like this!" This gang leader has always been there for you."

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

The two scolds in unison came out of Xia Jingyun and Ye Hongluan, and a pair of men and women subconsciously glanced at each other, as if they were surprised by this tacit understanding.

Baiyunbian: ???

Something is wrong.

After Xia Jingyun subconsciously scolded, Wen Sheng explained: "Gang Leader Ye, since Elder Long chose to say it in front of you, it means that he did not agree to the other party's request, otherwise the other party would not have killed his son." ”

And Ye Hongluan also followed to reassure his father and said: "Take 10,000 steps back, there has been no elder meeting in the gang in the past few days, and Uncle Long has not done anything to be sorry for us." ”

Ye Wenhe also reacted suddenly, he reacted too much, didn't he push his own people out, and hurriedly said: "I'm in a hurry, Elder Long forgive me." ”

Xia Jingyun continued: "So, Elder Long sent someone to chase and kill him afterwards, but he was also worried that the matter would leak and make himself passive, so he had to commit himself to the thief?" ”

"Hehe, speaking of which, the state pastor is an official." Elder Long smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Although that person's identity is suspicious, whether it is true or not, the Ye family has been the leader of the Cao Gang for so many generations, and we have all received the great favor of the former gang leader, how can we change the door so easily and help deal with the Ye family." ”

Ye Wenhe breathed a sigh of relief, and Long Zhengqing sighed: "But to be honest, if you don't come with Lord Xia, and the other party has the support of Lord Xiao, we are powerless to compete!" ”

Xia Jingyun said confidently: "But I'm not here now, it's different when I come." ”

"Lord Xia, your past experience is indeed amazing, Qin Xiang and other characters can be defeated in your hands, which is really admirable, but you must not underestimate Lord Xiao, who is only a state pastor in your opinion."

Long Zhengqing said: "Speaking of which, he is a few years younger than me, but I can almost say that I grew up listening to his name, do you know the weight?" ”

Xia Jingyun and Bai Yunbian also became serious when they heard this, and Xia Jingyun said frankly: "I don't know much, and I ask Elder Long to solve my doubts." ”

Long Zhengqing glanced at Ye Wenhe, "Helper, you are from a family, and you have more contacts with Lord Xiao, can you tell me?" ”

This initiative to talk can be regarded as another temptation for Long Zhengqing to reconcile, Ye Wenhe did not refuse, nodded and said: "Indeed, Xiao Fengshan became famous at a young age, and he is the first person in our generation in Longshou Prefecture, from family background to ability, he was almost recognized as the first son of Longshou Prefecture at that time. ”

Hearing this name, Bai Yunbian couldn't help but pout, what kind of bullshit first son, this dog thing in front of him is dedicated to treating the first son.

Zheng Tianyu, the first son of Surabaya Prefecture, and Qin Sichao, the first son of Zhongjing City, later.

Only the protagonist of destiny like himself can escape the curse of this first son.

Catching a glimpse of Bai Yunbian's expression, Ye Wenhe said solemnly: "Lord Bai, don't take it seriously. Xiao Fengshan's ability is really extremely powerful. When his sister married His Majesty, who was still in the palace, as the crown princess, it was when the new monarch of Northern Liang ascended the throne, and the domestic affairs were unstable, and he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize power, so he joined forces with the northwest barbarians to attack our dynasty together. He chose to join the army, and after several battles, he did not taste a defeat, and was awarded the earl by virtue of his military merits. ”

"After returning to the dynasty, he changed from literature to martial arts, and successfully passed the first-class Tanhua, and it was rumored in Zhongjing City that the nobles in the city looked at Xiao Lang, and he was talking about him. After more than ten years of accumulation, it was originally expected to enter the center, but with the death of the first queen, he seemed to be a little depressed, so he concentrated on running Longshou Prefecture. It is said that it is the four families of the dragon head, but in fact, the Xiao family has far surpassed the other three. His Majesty didn't know what kind of mentality he had, and he never moved his position. ”

Xia Jingyun said softly: "It's not that I don't want to move, but when I reacted to it, I couldn't move." ”

He sighed with emotion: "In this way, this Xiao Zhou Mu is indeed a fierce opponent!" ”

Seeing that everyone was a little depressed, Xia Jingyun then smiled and said: "Thank you Gang Master Ye and Elder Long for telling these old things, but we have a common interest base, Elder Long's family feud, Gang Leader Ye's ancestral foundation, driven by the emperor's order, we are much more united than their team gathered for profit." As long as we work together, we can unite those forces that can be united, and we will be able to compete with one or the other after all. ”

He said in a deep voice: "Each of us has no way out, and the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road!" ”

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

With this sentence, even the blood in Ye Wenhe's heart was aroused, and everyone did not hesitate anymore for their own reasons, and nodded heavily.

Ye Hongluan's eyes were even more brilliant.

Xia Jingyun continued: "Now that a consensus has been reached, I hope that the Ye Gang Leader and Elder Long will tell me about the recent changes in the Cao Gang." ”

The previous foreshadowing was in place, and at this time, the two did not hide it, and directly told the current power structure and inside story of the Cao Gang.

Long Zhengqing said: "Originally, everyone only occasionally competed, and their styles and concepts were slightly different, but about a month ago, the actions of the fourth and fifth children began to get bigger. They began to obviously disobey the orders of the gang leader, and often instilled in the gang that now that the faint monarch is in power, the traitorous ministers are in charge, the corrupt officials are everywhere, the state affairs are difficult, the Great Xia is dying, and the Cao Gang has tens of thousands of gangs, when they have something to do in the troubled times, the glory and wealth are all in front of them, why swallow their anger and live a difficult life. ”

Ye Wenhe sighed, "Now the government is really not good, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant everywhere, Caoyun's business is indeed getting worse, and the life of the gang is getting worse and worse, so their words have also won the support of many people, especially the low-level gangsters who are dissatisfied with the status quo, they no longer endure the oppression of the court officials along the way, and have killed several court officials." The strange thing is that the state pastor yamen did not make any moves, and the dragon head army under the direct management of the state pastor did not move. Only the county guard yamen symbolically sent some county sergeants to patrol along the way, but it was better than nothing. ”

Xia Jingyun listened silently, "According to the two of you, behind the scenes, Xiao Fengshan is secretly arranging it?" Or is there something else involved? ”

Long Zhengqing shook his head, "This kind of situation involving the top-level forces is not able to catch it below, so it's hard to talk about it." ”

Ye Wenhe thought for a while, "It should be Xiao Fengshan's arrangement, otherwise others don't have such strength." ”

But at this time, a clear voice spoke: "It should be someone else." ”

Xia Jingyun looked up at the bright girl dressed in red, did not question it, nor did she look down on it, but said seriously: "What does Miss Ye have to say?" ”

"I can't talk about teaching." Ye Hongluan also said neatly: "If Xiao Zhoumu behaves like this, he should guide all the crimes and dissatisfaction to the imperial court, so that these people can be used by him, and now the words that bewitch the gang are not only complaining about the world's stupid monarchy, but also blaming the corruption in front of him, once this fire is provoked, it is not so easy to go down, so it is not in the interests of Xiao Zhoumu." ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "I have heard for a long time that Miss Ye is heroic, and the women do not let her eyebrows, I didn't expect to have such insight, which is admirable." ”

After all, Xia Jingyun is a rare champion of the three yuan in the country, and now he is Lord Qincha, so he was sincerely praised by him in front of her father, Ye Hongluan, who has always been informal, couldn't help but feel a little shy, and said modestly with slightly red cheeks: "Lord Xia is polite, presumably these are all things that Lord Xia has already figured out in his heart." ”

Baiyunbian: ???

Have you two considered my feelings?

Xia Jingyun didn't dwell on that anymore, and said seriously: "What Miss Ye said is also my initial idea, if a state pastor wants to borrow the Cao Gang for his own use, he has a more convenient way, there is no need for this." Judging from the current situation, it is more likely that someone is calculating the Cao Gang, and Xiao Fengshan is either colluding with it, or turning a blind eye, but he is taking advantage of the situation to complete his own ideas, and at the same time secretly calculating them. ”

"And we don't know Xiao Fengshan's true thoughts, but the problem at hand is that we must first stabilize the situation of the Cao Gang."

"It's useless to think too much. Now let's talk about what to do! ”

Then there was a low murmur in the room.

After about a cup of tea, the door guarded by Chen Fugui was opened from the inside, and Xia Jingyun and everyone walked out.

As soon as he came out, the county lieutenant hurriedly came up and announced, "Lord Xia, Bai Xianzun, the owner of Baihualou secretly absconded, fortunately, Lord Xia made arrangements in advance, and sent guards to intercept it first, and we arrived later, and after a hard fight, we have captured it!" Now in prison, waiting to be dealt with! ”

If it were normal, he would naturally not dare to act against such a big man with a lot of connections behind him, but now that he has the support of Lord Qincha, he has also experienced the taste of not being afraid of power and impartially enforcing the law, and it is the time to be excited.

"Hard." Xia Jingyun nodded and looked at Bai Yunbian, "Then I'll leave the matter to you?" ”

Bai Yunbian hummed, "You can go with confidence." ”

"you!" Xia Jingyun slapped him with a smile, "Can't you say something auspicious?" ”

Bai Yunbian thought of the red clothes and rolled his eyes, "No! ”

The county lieutenant silently watched the two flirting and scolding, oh no, laughing and scolding, he secretly sighed in his heart, the rumors are true, the relationship between Lord County and Lord Qincha is really not fake!

And when Xia Jingyun, Ye Wenhe, father and daughter, and Long Zhengqing walked out of the door, they saw a scholar who was stopped at the door of the county government.

Xia Jingyun's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Long Zhengqing, who looked a little lonely, "Elder Long, I suddenly had an idea, Tang said suddenly, I hope to forgive me." ”

Long Zhengqing looked puzzled and arched his hand, "Your Excellency is polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xia Jingyun pointed to the scholar outside the yamen, "I have been in contact with this son for a day, although his temperament is a little wooden, but his parents are dead, he can still not change his will, not fall into the evil way, study hard, and his conduct can be called pure." Now that Elder Long and Mrs. Zun have lost their sons, he is a member of the same family, so he may not be able to accept him as a son, and after many years, he can also provide for the two of you in old age. The thought of a moment has no reluctance, and Elder Long listens to it. ”

Long Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, looked up at the descendant, and thought about Xia Jingyun's words carefully, and felt that it was not impossible.

At his age, the arrangement of his old age should indeed be a major event worth considering.

He was silent for a moment, "If the old man succeeds him as a son, can the adults watch the ceremony and testify against it?" ”

Xia Jingyun also understood what Long Zhengqing meant, and couldn't help but sigh that the old people who fought at the bottom really still had some outstanding features, and in line with the idea of sending the Buddha to the west, he said with a smile: "There is nothing to do." ”

Long Zhengqing took a deep look, "Thank you, sir." ”

Xia Jingyun hurriedly helped him up, and then walked out together.

The scholar who didn't know that his fate was about to usher in a big change stood at the door, watching Xia Jingyun and Long Zhengqing and others walk out with a smile, because he was shocked to hear the news suddenly, and the blood and excitement that subconsciously ran over quietly subsided in the tension and panic of the upcoming meeting, swallowed his saliva, and was about to lower his head and hide aside.

"Brother Long!"

Xia Jingyun stopped him with a smile, looking at him at a loss, "I called you brother Tai that day, right?" ”

The scholar was almost frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand, "The little student has eyes and doesn't know adults, and he is offended, and he still looks at the adults Haihan." ”

Saying that his knees were weak and he was about to kneel, Xia Jingyun hurriedly reached out and hugged it, and said with a smile: "I haven't thanked you for taking it in!" ”

The scholar was speechless for a long time, Long Zhengqing watched from the side, and when he looked at the person in front of him with the idea of sending off the elderly, this gesture made him quite satisfied.

He looked directly at the younger generation in front of him, "The old man has no son now, and you have no parents, but I am willing to support the two of us in the future." ”

"Huh?" The scholar only felt that today's brain was like paste, completely disturbed by the successive explosive news, and he was stunned in place.

Xia Jingyun silently stretched out his foot and kicked in the crook of his leg.

Bang!

Kneeling on his knees, the scholar finally reacted, "The child is willing!" But "

He plucked up his courage, "Will the child still be able to worship his biological father and mother in the future?" ”

Long Zhengqing laughed, "Emphasis on love and righteousness, why not!" ”

He looked at Xia Jingyun and Ye Wenhe, "Lord Xia, the helper, the old man will go back first, and when this matter is clear, please come and watch the ceremony!" ”

Watching Long Zhengqing take the scholar who was still in a daze, Ye Wenhe suddenly said: "Lord Xia, there is also a reluctant invitation below." ”

？？？

Xia Jingyun glanced at Ye Hongluan with a ghostly look, "Gang Master Ye, please speak." ”

"Can Lord Xia accept Xiao'er as a disciple?"

"I've got something in my heart, huh? What? ”

Xia Jingyun was stunned, didn't she send her daughter?

The father and daughter of the Ye family are full of black lines, what do you want!
