Chapter 9 Qingyang Old Things
"Exactly, my lord is wise!" Lu Zhan smiled, and by the way, he slapped a sycophant who was not light or heavy, and said, "Ten years ago, that person raised the army, but it was actually because of an accident. ”
"Accident?" Du Zhifu's eyes flashed, and he sat down slowly.
He knows a little bit about this past.
At that time, he was still very young, serving in the Jin Wuwei, and he was also a member of the Jin Jiawei back then.
I remember that the first emperor was seriously ill that year, and the second and fourth princes saw that the emperor was hopeless, so they actually had evil thoughts and plotted to rebel, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the imperial court, leading the rebels to rush into the palace, imprisoning His Royal Highness the Prince, and forcing the first emperor to pass on the two of them. For a time, the imperial capital was shaken, and the government and the opposition were turbulent. His Majesty the Emperor, who was still the king of Qingyang at that time, also received a secret decree from the palace, and in addition to being sad, he announced to the world and raised the righteous division to defeat the rebels under the city of Luoyang. The rebels had no intention of fighting, and were defeated by King Qin's righteous division in one fell swoop, and also captured two rebellious princes alive, which can be described as a complete victory. But what is indignant is that these two traitors are about to perish, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and even poisoned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace with the idea of burning jade. Heartbroken when the emperor learned the bad news, his condition deteriorated dramatically, and he finally died a month later. Before he died, he passed the throne to King Qingyang, the prince who was once the least valued, and it can be regarded as a helpless trade-off.
Could it be that there is another hidden meaning in this?
"Exactly!" Lu Zhan smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, you know that back then, before that person raised his troops, there was a fire!"
Du Zhifu was stunned when he heard this, and he also knew this secret that he happened to come back from a mission at that time, but what does it matter.
In fact, the authenticity of this news, Lu Zhan himself has no bottom. Although it was under the effect of the 'Tuzhen Pill', based on Li Ying's words alone, he still had some doubts in his heart. However, he was in a hurry, and he only had the attitude of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Seeing Governor Du's reaction at this moment, he knew that he had made the right bet, and it was rumored that this adult had something to do with Jin Wuwei, which seemed to be true.
The corners of Lu Zhan's mouth hooked, and he continued quietly: "The fire back then was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!"
Du Zhifu nodded slightly, this fire was experienced by him. During this period, he also personally killed several family members who had hidden belongings, so he did not doubt Lu Zhan's words, and said with his jaw headed: "This mansion wants to remind you again, you have to be careful when you speak, even if it is just a rumor many years ago, it is not something that you and I can discuss! If something happens, this mansion will not protect you, and it will not be able to protect you!"
"Don't worry, sir! I won't joke with my own life. Lu Zhan patted his chest, looked confident, and said, "This news is absolutely reliable, and it was only after his subordinates used some means to get it out of Li Ying's mouth." Seeing that Du Zhifu's eyes narrowed slightly, he shrank his head and glanced around, and then carefully added, "Tuzhen Pill!"
Du Zhifu was shocked when he heard this, and he also knew a little about this Tuzhen Pill.
On the rivers and lakes, there is an extremely strange sect called the Flower School. He never got involved in disputes in the rivers and lakes, nor did he deal with the imperial court. I just like to stay in a mysterious valley and study all kinds of strange pills.
This Tuzhen Pill is one of them, and it is said that under this Tuzhen Pill, no one can keep a secret. Because the pain of being bitten and burned is something that no one can bear.
Du Zhifu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Lu Zhan. A small leader of the Blue Dragon Gang, under his nose, how did he get in touch with that kind of sect?
However, he is not ready to ask, but hopes that the more people under him who do things, the better. No matter how powerful your power is and how strong your personal ability is, under the thunderous strangulation of the imperial army, they are just clowns.
So he nodded, agreed with Lu Zhan's statement, and said in a deep voice: "Go on!"
Lu Zhan continued: "We don't need to know the cause of the fire back then, but we also know the development after the fire. However, none of this is the key ......"
Seeing that he couldn't get to the point, Du Zhifu's eyes shot like electricity, Lu Zhan was shocked when he saw this, and he stopped selling Guanzi at the moment, and his speed of speech suddenly became several times faster: "In that fire, it is said that countless treasures were lost, as well as martial arts cheats and so on. And among these things, the most precious ones are the 'Tiangang Fragment' and the 'Guiru Sword Spectrum'. As far as his subordinates know, the 'Guixu Sword Spectrum' had been recovered by Jin Wuwei a few years ago, and it is estimated that it is now in the Imperial Palace. However, the whereabouts of the 'Tiangang Fragment' have been unknown. By chance, his subordinates just got the news of this 'Tiangang fragment'. ”
To the point!
Du Zhifu couldn't help but prick up his ears, turned his head slightly, and wanted to hear more clearly, his heartbeat began to speed up, and his hand couldn't help but clenched into a fist slightly.
If he is allowed to get this thing, then the position of the prefect of this district will not be able to accommodate him as a tiger. At that time, I am afraid that someone, the position of the commander of Jin Wuwei, will also be given up to Xian.
And this news is related to Li Ying. Lu Zhan didn't notice anything unusual about Du Zhifu, and continued to take care of himself, "My subordinates inadvertently discovered that this Li Ying, who is silent and doesn't know martial arts, actually has a goddaughter who knows martial arts. The strangest thing is that his goddaughter's martial arts are not only extremely high, but also very peculiar. The subordinates had never seen this kind of martial arts before, and the moves were extremely exquisite, and within a hundred moves, the subordinates had no way to take her down. ”
Du Zhifu was stunned when he heard this, he knew the origin of Lu Zhan's martial arts, otherwise he would not have let him sit in the position of the helper. Even he can't take down a teenage girl.
Governor Du's eyes flashed, and things became more and more interesting.
Lu Zhan cleared his throat and said, "On that day, his subordinates sent people to ambush Long Fu, which was originally a sure thing. Who knew that the little maid named Biyan beside her actually killed more than a dozen masters sent by her subordinates. In the end, he forced his subordinates to go out in person to take her down. After the first trial, I found out that she was actually the goddaughter of Li Ying's old guy. I can't say it, my subordinates only let me ask Li Ying to drink some wine and talk. Seeing Governor Du's eyes, he smiled a little embarrassedly, "Of course, I accidentally dropped a 'Tuzhen Pill' in the wine." ”
Speaking of this, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said: "This Li Ying is not an old man at all, but a middle-aged man in his forties, because he wears a human skin mask all the year round, so he has no expression and does not talk to people. Moreover, his real name is not Li Ying, but Fang Zhaolin!"
"What?!" Hearing this, Governor Du was so shocked that he stood up from his chair again.
It's really hard for him not to be frightened, on the surface, he is the prefect who governs one side, but in fact he is still a member of Jin Wuwei, and his status is not low. If it weren't for the fact that he injured his muscles and veins on a mission, he would not be suitable for running around anymore, and he would not have been arranged here.
And one of the reasons why he was arranged here is related to Fang Zhaolin. That is, to find out his whereabouts and arrest him. For so many years, Fang Zhaolin, whose whereabouts are unknown, has always been a thorn in His Majesty's heart!
After all these years here, the mission had not progressed, and he had to wonder if the previous secret report was reliable. Now that there is news of him suddenly, the shock in his heart can be imagined.
"My lord!" Lu Zhan was taken aback by Governor Du's reaction, and didn't know where he said it wrong, so he asked cautiously, "Is there anything wrong?"
Du Zhifu came back to his senses, waved his hand and sat down slowly, forcibly suppressed his excitement, and said, "Where are the people?"
Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the adult was suddenly so interested in that Fang Zhaolin, but he still quickly replied: "In a secret water prison of the Qinglong Gang!"
"Take this mansion with you!" Governor Du Huo Di stood up, and was about to go out impatiently, seeing Lu Zhan looking at him with a strange expression, he explained, "This mansion wants to interrogate him personally, after all, this involves the 'Tiangang Fragment', and there is no room for error." If the news is true, the government will be rewarded!" The last four words accentuated the tone, and after speaking, he glanced at Lu Zhan quietly, this person can't stay!
Lu Zhan didn't realize that he had been put on the death list. Hearing that there were many rewards, the excitement in his heart was simply incomprehensible, he happened to have something to borrow the power of the imperial court, so he hurriedly led the way in front: "It will take about an hour or two to go here, do you need to bring an entourage?" The implication is that such a long distance has already left the city.
You must know that outside the city of Liangzhou, it is not so peaceful as the city guarded by heavy soldiers.
This is also determined by the geographical location of Liangzhou City, the south is the border of the Black Sand State, although Daqin and the Black Sand State are now friendly, but small-scale harassment is still unavoidable. Especially recently, because of the frequent wars and turmoil between Great Qin and Xiliang Kingdom, the Black Sand Kingdom seems to have taken advantage of the fire to rob, and the frequency of harassment has increased a lot. The fact that more and more refugees are pouring into Liangzhou is the best proof of this.
And this water prison, coincidentally, is right at the junction of the Black Sand Kingdom and Great Qin.
Imprisoning Fang Zhaolin here is also a last resort, now that the martial arts people in Liangzhou City are gathered, and the other strongholds of the Qinglong Gang are basically under the supervision of others, in order to safely place this key person, Lu Zhan really took a lot of painstaking efforts. In the end, thanks to the reminder of the five masters, he remembered that the Blue Dragon Gang had such a secret stronghold on the border between the two countries.
Governor Du was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, and when he came back, there were already city guards who had reported the recent situation, and the Black Sand Country was not very peaceful recently.
He groaned slightly, then raised his voice and shouted, "Call Qian Feng and Shang He to see me!"
Soon, a clear voice outside the door said, "My lord!" It was Qian Feng, and standing side by side with him was Shang He.
Du Zhifu nodded and walked out of the door first.
