Chapter 402: Human Affection
At that moment, Xiahou Qing hesitated slightly, and then told him about his dealings with Yan Zhifeng and others. This is actually nothing in the officialdom, people are communicative, there are some and some are returned, but it responds to the old saying: officials protect each other!
Yan Huandan listened carefully, and suddenly asked, "You didn't find out that Yan Zhifeng had colluded with Yin Si?"
Xiahou Qing shook his head: "No, he is a fellow acquaintance of Panzhou, even if there is a cheap deal, it is impossible to negotiate in person." β
Yan Huandan sneered: "So through the Divine Lotus Sect, it is an intermediary, but how much do you know about this sect?"
Xiahou Qing asked, "You mean, the Divine Lotus Sect is actually controlled by Yin Si, and it acts as an agent?"
Yan Huandan asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"
Xiahou pouted: "I don't agree, that Gu family guest is simply a bunch of nonsense, the huge state has become a ghost, how is it possible? β
Yan Huandan looked at him: Sometimes, it is more difficult to convince a person than to kill a person. Right now, he doesn't have the time to waste his tongue. It can only be said that Xiahou Qing has been tossed by endless treacherous accidents, and ignored the truth hidden under the surface. As for Yan Zhifeng, he is a politician through and through, obsessed with power, always thinking of being able to sit on the position of Zhizhou. It is not uncommon for such people to be blinded.
When talking with Chen Tang, he had an answer to the division of Panzhou's large and small forces and the judgment of his position. Yan Zhifeng is friend and foe. Xiahou Qing, you can rescue it. However, the intention of rescuing him is not to win him to the same front. Yan Huandan took it down in public, and he formed a hatred that was difficult to let go. But this did not prevent Xia Houqing from combining some of the information he had to provide help. After all, they have a common enemy. And Xiahou Qing's mind was gloomy, and he understood that he had fallen into Pingyang, and when necessary, he might as well sell it, and if there was anything, he would talk about it when he got out in the future.
Facing Yan Huandan's gaze, Xiahou Qing subconsciously lowered his head slightly: "Ask yourself, I have tried my best in Panzhou, but I can't do anything, I can't go back to heaven, even if I go to the capital and meet the master, I have a clear conscience." β
Yan Huandan was indifferent: "Frankly speaking, I don't care about your crimes, let alone your connections." I have a way in my heart, a sword in my hand, and that's it, and that's it. β
With that, he turned and walked out.
Looking at his burly back, Xiahou Qing opened his mouth to speak, and then his demeanor became depressed. He has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he is also the number one person in the nine doors, and he has read many people. I have seen the stunned green who doesn't know the height of the sky, and I have seen the old rivers and lakes that can wring out oil, all kinds of things, and I know that a pure person like Yan Huandan is the most difficult to deal with. High and high, straight and straight, real happiness and hatred, there are few fetters and scruples in the heart. When helping others, he can draw his sword proudly, and when he kills, he does not hesitate at all......
Perhaps, because of this, this guy can cultivate a good swordsmanship.
Xiahou Qing sighed secretly, once upon a time, he was the same.
......
However, it was said that after Tan Zhao heard Chen Tang's words, he immediately led people back to the General's Mansion. He knew that his two elder brothers had a temperament, and although they were not good-natured, they would never be willing to send their subordinates out for blood sacrifice. As a military attachΓ©, the soldiers in their hands are the greatest authority, no matter how stupid they are, they will not take out their subordinates and sacrifice.
But unless......
Tan Zhao is familiar with military books and knows that there is a plan, called "Li Dai Taozhuang", or rather: borrowing a knife to kill people.
Regarding the private correspondence between the two brothers, although Tan Zhao didn't know what they were discussing, he could easily guess that nine times out of ten, they were going to deal with him. Among the three brothers, Tan Zhao is the youngest, but now his strength has leapt forward, but he is the strongest, so naturally, he has become a thorn in the side of the two brothers and is regarded as the biggest threat.
It is common for wealthy and powerful families to compete for power and power, and to fight each other. The Tan family can't avoid it, and it's still the kind of fight that is very strong.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Tang took the initiative to come to see Tan Zhao. Otherwise, if you don't agree with each other, Tan Zhao will order someone to do it, and it will be quite passive. Tan Zhao was suspicious and half-convinced of Chen Tang's words, and he hurried back, which proved that Chen Tang's strategy was successful.
"Major General, General Yuan is in a bad mood and drinks sullenly in the camp. General Heng went out early in the morning and was not in the house. β
In a few moments, a henchman will come and say. His title is very particular, the deceased Tan Baichuan is an old general, and calling Tan Zhao a young general means inheritance. As for Tan Yuan and Tan Heng, they are embellished with their names.
The title of the three Tan brothers as generals is not self-appointed, but has been ordered by the imperial court. At the beginning, Tan Baichuan died of illness, in order to appease the people's hearts, the emperor made a decree, made Tan Yuan and them generals, commanded the soldiers together, and continued to guard Panzhou.
This will is very clever, and it faintly has the intention of "killing three soldiers with one peach", but Tan Yuan and others are still willing to take it and rush to do it.
"Second brother is out, do you know where he went?"
Tan Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked.
The henchman replied, "No one can be found yet." β
Tan Zhao stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, feeling a little irritable in his heart, and suddenly asked, "How many people did he bring?"
"It should be a group of personal guards, and their subordinates are still in the camp. β
Hearing this, Tan Zhao was slightly relieved, feeling that he was not provoked by Chen Tang's words, and became suspicious: what is the origin of this person, and he is definitely not an ordinary high-roller......
When he first saw Chen Tang, Tan Zhao took a fancy to his martial arts and felt that he could be recruited to his command for his own use. But now that I think about it, I think about it deeply, I secretly have a sense of jealousy, and I feel a little remorseful, and when I was listening to the play in the morning, I should have taken it down directly, captured it in the camp, and interrogated it properly. It is best to be obedient, and if you refuse to obey, you can also deduct it and slowly fall.
He opened his mouth and ordered: "Send more people out to see where General Heng is and what he is doing?"
"Yes. β
The henchman answered the order and left quickly.
......
Coming down from Hujiazhuang, Chen Tang galloped quickly, returned to the city directly, and came to the nine doors to find Yan Huandan:
"Uncle Yan, have you ever found that Chen Hongru?"
Yan Huandan's face was solemn, and he shook his head: "I haven't found it yet." β
At this moment, Chen Tang was a little anxious: "Where is this thief hiding?"
Yan Huandan sighed: "I ordered someone to go to the yamen early in the morning and ask Yan Zhifeng to help, but this person is not credible, and he agreed verbally, but in fact he didn't make a contribution." The state capital is huge and has a large population, Chen Hongru has the intention to hide, and Song Siming provides shelter, but it is not easy to find. In the morning, more than a dozen members of the Divine Lotus Sect had already been arrested, but none of them knew where Chen Hongru was hiding, and they had never even seen the true body of the sect leader. β
Chen Tang said: "It's not early to see that the hour is not early, and if it is delayed again, it will be night again." β
Yan Huandan asked, "Where is the Tan family?"
"I've spoken to Tan Zhao, and he's already gone back to staring. β
Yan Huandan didn't ask much why Tan Zhao was so obedient, and muttered: "Wait a little longer, there may be news." β
Chen Tang frowned: "Waiting is not a way, the hope is too slim...... That's right!" he slapped his thigh suddenly: "Someone once owed me a favor, I'll ask her to see if there is a way to find out Chen Hongru." β
What kind of favor can find Chen Hongru who is hiding?
Yan Huandan was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask much either.
