Chapter 45: Disintegration
The maid Jia Yun, although she is a princess and maidservant, has been trained in the Juxian Hall since she was a child, and after the third princess took over the Juxian Palace, Jia Yun could help Zhengyang take care of and deal with many matters.
At this time, in an inconspicuous house in Wuyi Lane, Zhengyang was holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at the courtyard, and what came to her was a middle-aged man dressed in gray clothes, with a double chin, who was kind and kind, and could not see a special chubby middle-aged man.
If she had said that such a man was in charge of the Liangdu Underground World, she would not have believed it at all.
It's just that the two corpses lying in the courtyard in front of her made her believe Jia Yun's statement a little.
It was two people wrapped in cloaks, lifted the cloaks, revealing two faces that looked like Husu people, the Husu people were northern nomads, after the Liang State pacified the north, they accepted tribute from the north, and the war had stopped for a hundred years, and there were also Husu caravans, Husu people came to Daliang to do business and settle, and they were also engaged in camel merchants who traveled between the north and the south. It's just that the north has been affected by disasters in recent years, and there are also some Husu tribes who can't make a living, and they are a little restless and ready to move.
Zhengyang looked at the person named Gao Haofeng, and she asked for an explanation.
Gao Haofeng said, "These two people are the ones who make and develop burning smoke cans. When our brother arrived, the two of them were besieged, knowing that they were going to die, so they committed suicide by taking medicine. Such a strong man must be hiding a huge secret. ”
A pair of eyes on Princess Zhengyang's veil stared at Gao Haofeng fiercely, her eyes were like torches, condensing her bright and wise heart, and she felt that the details such as breathing and pupils brought by Gao Haofeng's words were not too flawed, so she said, "The two of them committed a crime, why didn't the officials of the government take the people, but you guys, don't we have national law?"
Her voice was reprimanded, implying that she could condemn herself at any time.
Gao Haofeng did not retreat at all under her gaze, but just made a gesture according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and said, "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. What are the rules, Liang can not be chaotic is the rules, these people throw combustible things in the road, disturb the people, and help the thieves escape, it is to break the rules, which will lead to the life of many brothers can not go on, and there will be livelihood problems, which is to break our rules. Therefore, my brother is obliged to help the people of Siyana. ”
The third princess keenly heard some of the meanings in this sentence, "What do you mean when you say that life can't go on?
After Gao Haofeng bowed down and confessed, he spoke, "The villain has no intention of criticizing the court, but this is a fact, the fact is that every time there is a big case in Liang, so that the districts and government officials are under pressure and have to focus on investigating the case, even if it is a cold winter, there are also a group of poor people who can only live in the underground bridge arch of the cave, and they are driven out of the royal capital, often freezing to death in the wind and snow along the road, and eating on the road to exile......
Princess Zhengyang forced to look at Gao Haofeng, under the royal awe-inspiring momentum, Gao Haofeng did not retreat at all, this man with an ordinary appearance, just arched his hands to each other, although his posture gave full courtesy and humility, but in fact, he did not let it go at all.
"What do you mean...... If it weren't for you, many of us would have died. ”
Gao Haofeng said, "We are not saviors, on the contrary, Emperor Liang is a benevolent monarch, and in the second or seventh year, the widows and orphans of the border garrison of the original Shita Lane Sanbao can be shared with the money of Emperor Liang, and the families of the widows of the border soldiers of the three guarantees have a total of seventy-four families, and three thousand taels of silver.
But when the money arrived at Zhao Shilang, it was withheld alive, those widows and orphans were already living in the dilapidated Shita Lane because of their survival difficulties, at the bottom of the ropes, relying on manual labor for a living, some were seriously ill, and they were waiting for money to save their lives, and they didn't know Liang Huang's benevolence, and they still had a payment to them, even if they knew, because there were too many such things, they didn't dare to fight for their own rights and interests, and let the middle officials give these life-saving money to the ink. ”
"Knowing this, my brother ran for them, and finally put the corrupt Zhao Shilang in prison, so that they got the benevolence and righteousness of the Son of Heaven.
Princess Zhengyang was silent for a moment and nodded, "...... Indeed, you have done some practical things. ”
Zhengyang Cultivation Juxian Hall is clear-hearted, able to observe people in detail, judge whether the other party's words are true from the details, and now Gao Haofeng's courage and posture between his words, generous statements, are not a treacherous person, and there is no lie performance such as looking left and right, eyelashes beating, breathing changes, etc., she glanced at the maid Jia Yun, and continued, "Then how do you pursue the whereabouts of Wei Dawu and the thief?"
Gao Haofeng said, "In many places in the city, there are our brothers' eyeliner, if they don't show up, they will be able to find their traces, the nobles are a little restless, just wait and wait." ”
Zhengyang said, "I let my people follow your people's actions, the other party is a cultivator, if something happens, they can make you die a lot." ”
Gao Haofeng was overjoyed, "No matter how good it is, in fact, if the noble person doesn't mention it, I also want to say that there is such a part." After seeing that man carrying the thunder, we really don't dare to act rashly!"
If Gao Haofeng had been delayed just now, Zhengyang might have immediately taken him down as someone related to Wei Dawu. Now that there are people from the Juxian Hall monitoring their actions, Zhengyang nodded.
Waiting for everyone in the Juxian Hall to leave with Gao Haofeng's men, Zhengyang looked at Gao Haofeng standing there again, and spoke, "Since you dare to claim that Liangdu knows the underground world, then let me ask you, Liangdu has an underground market, do you know its existence." ”
Gao Haofeng nodded, "I've always been aware of it, and I've been looking for its entrance." I'd love to go inside and find out. ”
Princess Zhengyang's eyes retracted, and according to its subtleties, she judged that Gao Haofeng was telling the truth.
He's been looking for it, and he's desperate to get in.
If Gao Haofeng said that he didn't know, or that he wasn't interested, she would have to be suspicious.
She keenly grasped that such a person could be used, and this person must be included in her own hands, this person is well versed in the secrets of the underground world, and knows many things that the government and the Taihao Alliance cannot know, such a person is also a hidden danger, but if it is mastered by her Juxian Palace, then it can enhance the power in her hands. More importantly, it will be a huge help in the process of finding that underground market.
He will be her eyes and ears, and a spy, doing many things that she can't do in the Juxian Palace.
"Have you ever thought about joining me in the Juxian Palace? ”
"Thank you for your support, Gao has never met a person like a noble person in his life, and he has such an understanding of Gao, but it is really because my identity is really not suitable, and I am used to leisure, and I am afraid that it is difficult to abide by many rules. It's better to be like Gao now, who is light, but he can also do things for nobles. ”
Princess Zhengyang forcibly asked Gao Haofeng to join the Juxian Palace, this person may not know the kindness, he has no intention of doing things for the court, on the other hand, he will not let some secrets of the Juxian Hall be known to others.
But this person is really something to take advantage of.
Zhengyang said, "What I need is someone who will do things for me wholeheartedly." I'm going to find out where the underground market exists, and if you have any clues, contact me. Gao Haofeng...... You're a practitioner. ”
Gao Haofeng was slightly shocked when he heard this, but then he nodded heavily and looked at Zhengyang solemnly.
Zhengyang thought that this reaction was reasonable, if he behaved in a big way, it would be too much, and this person was bound to hide something.
Now I am so vigilant, my heart is shaking, and I know that this may not be able to hide from people, this situation of wanting to accept my fate and may die at any time is normal.
Zhengyang said again, "You also have a daughter, seven years old. The nickname is Xiao Nan, and the big name is Gao Lu, which is very good. ”
Gao Haofeng's vigilance and vigilance just now collapsed in an instant.
Princess Zhengyang was very satisfied with her words, so she disintegrated the other party's feeling of defense, and said, "If you want to do things for me wholeheartedly, then I will bear your identity as a cultivator." Your daughter will inherit the honor you have earned. But if you have the slightest dissenting intentions, you should know what the result of treason is!"
Gao Haofeng swept away the dust under his feet and knelt on one knee, "Gao Haofeng, I will do my best for your nobles!"
Looking at Gao Haofeng who was kneeling on the ground.
Princess Zhengyang's long eyelashes on the white gauze moved gently, and with a gesture, Enwei and Shi recovered this person.
She thought she was great.
