A moment later, the host and guest were all seated in the main hall; But for a while, they looked at each other and were silent. It wasn't until the battalion of the Governor's Mansion Guard Battalion walked to the door of the main hall and drew his knife and waited around with his hand that Zhu Yuntao nodded to the middle-aged man, leaning forward with his upper body and waiting for the other party to speak......

"Ahem! Your Bashu Road mountain road is really difficult to walk, this road can make our family upside down, plus this ghost weather is also cold and damp, which hooks out my old asthma...... Ahem......"

As soon as the rich man spoke, he spoke in a typical eunuch tone. And Zhu Yuntao also knew the identity of this person for a long time, not only did he not answer the other party's words, but stood up and clapped his hands vigorously outside the house; After a while, an ordinary-looking little servant came, holding a large vermilion lacquer plate produced in Nankang Guangling Mansion in both hands, covered with a red cloth, and gently placed it on the table in Zhu Yuntao's hand; After saluting the three masters in turn, he quickly withdrew from the main hall without saying a word.

After she left, Xiang Qingxiang Yinshan, who had already been the governor of the road before she was confused, quickly stood up at this time, took two steps to close the door of the main hall, and then lightly lifted the red cloth covering the large plate......

It turned out that in this vermilion lacquer disc the size of a copper basin, a stack of silver tickets was placed upright; Next to the silver ticket, there were a few pieces of black and brown dried orange peels scattered around......

"Ding on duty has been drinking all the way to the dust, which has already made the lower officials and others feel deeply uneasy; Now that this ghost weather has brought out an old disease, how can we turn a blind eye? But this happened by coincidence, just a few days ago, Xia Guan unexpectedly received a few pieces of tangerine peel! Don't look at this stuff everywhere, but it's said to be quite effective in treating asthma. Of course, tangerine peel also needs to be decocted with other excipients; It's a pity that the two of us don't know much about Qihuang and don't dare to make our own decisions; The remaining few adjuvants will have to be carefully considered by the hospital after you return to Beijing. ”

After listening to these kind words, the Ding guard was still a little displeased; But when he shifted his gaze to the vermilion lacquer plate, suddenly a bright light shot out of his eyes! Originally, he thought that the big head of this welcome gift was the stack of silver tickets that were not thin or thick; But I didn't expect the real highlight to be those five or six inconspicuous dried tangerine peels! He stood up tremblingly, walked to the vermilion lacquer plate with a fake cough and wheezing, picked up one of the yellow-brown tangerine peels and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed deeply......

"Good stuff! What a rare goodie! Such a valuable ......"

Xiang Qing suddenly waved his hand when he heard this:

"Hey! Ding on duty is just afraid that he is looking away, this is just a few pieces of dried orange peel, what kind of good thing can it be? How can you talk about the word precious? Hahaha......"

Ding Zhishou felt a little speechless, and hurriedly echoed it, but secretly exclaimed in his heart: This Qing is worthy of being born in the forty-year-old Bangyanlang of Tianyou, and even the way of giving filial piety is so elegant! These pieces of tangerine peel are not only in perfect condition and pure in medicinal power, but each piece is at least 50 years old. Compared with such a priceless treasure, that stack of silver tickets is really not a big deal.

However, this joy is joy, and Ding on duty still took the time to glance at Zhu Yuntao, who was pale. He smiled coldly in his heart, and he also knew why Zhu Yuntao, a vulgar martial artist, was so displeased; But he pretended not to notice, covered the red cloth with his own hands with a smile, and after coughing twice in makeup, he spoke to Xiang Qing in a rather intimate tone:

"Ahem, you Bashu Dao this weather, it's really easy to hurt people! What about our family...... But it's disrespectful! Hahahaha...... Oh yes, we've forgotten the most important thing when we're so busy talking about our personal affairs that we have forgotten the most important thing! I think it's important for us to talk about business first, and then talk about personal affairs, I don't know what Governor Xiang thinks? ”

Since seeing Zhu Yuntao's iron-green face, this Ding on duty has already had a different idea in his heart: this Yinshan is an eight-sided exquisite literati background, and he has experienced ups and downs in the Huanhai Sea in Beijing for many years, and he has long been clear about these open and secret doorways; And Zhu Yuntao is a martial artist who only knows how to fight at the border, such a person's personality is straightforward, vigorous and resolute, and naturally he can't urinate with Xiang Qing in the same pot!

I have to say, Emperor Zhou Yuanqing, God blesses him, put these two courtiers with diametrically opposite tempers in the same cage, can they not fight each other? It seems that this emperor's mind is really as deep as the sea!

When Xiang Qing saw Ding's attitude, the smile on his face was a little unbearable! He didn't have time to care about Zhu Yuntao, who looked displeased, and nodded to Ding on duty again and again:

"Yes is the pole is the pole ......"

Ding on duty still wanted to continue to bluff his face in a tone of voice, but he couldn't help but look back at the red hijab, and the curvature of the rising corners of his mouth could no longer be suppressed, and he laughed out loud:

"Huh...... Governor Xiang doesn't need to be like this, although our family received the emperor's mission this time, but to put it bluntly, it is just a royal pen codex; Since our family and Master Xiang hit it off at first sight, and there were no outsiders present at this time, we simply avoided those red tapes, and you personally received the decree...... Hey, this road is bumpy and rugged, and our family is really a little unbearable along the way, so we have to find a place to sleep well! ”

After finishing speaking, the guard on duty took out a mediocre codex from his cuffs, pushed it to Xiang Qing with a ecstatic face, and then left the governor's mansion with a stagger, and took the three carriages in the direction of the official post......

Zhu Yuntao watched as Ding on duty left the Governor's Mansion, Tie Qing's old face instantly turned into a smile; He looked back at Xiang Qing, who also looked narrow, and shouted to the battalion commander who was still guarding outside the door:

"Biaozi, put away the contents of this plate, and find an inconspicuous box to put it all in; When it gets dark, just go to the official post and hand it over to the old eunuch's coachman...... Oh yes! Remember to change your skin and go again! ”

After Xu Biao left with the plate, Zhu Yuntao groaned for a long time, and then opened the imperial pen codex on the table with his own hands; As the codex unfolded, a look of ecstasy gradually appeared on Zhu Yuntao's face; It wasn't until he finished reading the whole book that he handed the codex to Xiang Qing again, and he actually began to pace and turn in circles in the main hall!

After Xiang Qing finished reading, he was not as optimistic as him, but frowned tightly, patted his palm with a fan bone, and said to himself with doubts:

"Strange thing, really strange thing! For the public, that Shen returned to Shen Taichu, who was the prince of Zhongshan on Youbei Third Road, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition; Personally, he is the number one meritorious minister who personally helped the puppet emperor Yan Qinghong to the throne; According to common sense, even if Yan Qinghong plans to cross the river and demolish the bridge, it will take at least 20 years to wait; But now that he has just gained a firm foothold, is it a bit too hasty to start eliminating Shen Gui's words? Is this Jedi prodigal emperor really that stupid? ”

In fact, Xiang Qing's statement is just his inference. In this codex inscribed by Zhou Yuanqing's imperial pen, there is not even half a word about the three roads in Youbei; He just informed Zhu and Xiang that Zhu Wenhan's death at the hands of Shen Gui was a murder case, and he could follow the laws of the Northern Yan Imperial Court and do official business. But it was so simple that it couldn't be simpler, but it made Xiang Qing completely dumbfounded.

He thought that Emperor Tianyou would definitely use all kinds of means to comfort Zhu Yuntao, but he never thought that his old man would turn a blind eye to this matter, and he didn't even put forward a guiding opinion. Xiang Qing is not Zhu Yuntao, of course he doesn't think that the iron law of killing people to pay for his life and paying off debts is a matter of course for people like Shen Gui; Especially Shen Gui's official identity is so sensitive, if he does it rashly, it is very easy to deal a heavy blow to the already unreliable relationship between the two norths.

Even, at this time, an extremely terrifying thought flashed in Xiang Qing's mind: Could it be that Emperor Zhou Yuanqing, the Emperor of God, plans to use Zhu Wenhan's murder to create a friction of sufficient weight, and take advantage of the situation to completely cut off the big tree of the Zhu family in Bashu Dao!

Of course, this terrible idea had just been born, and it was rejected by Xiang Qing's self: after all, the Zhu family at this moment has become a rootless tree and a sourceless water; Rather than paying such a great price and uprooting them now; It's better to wait for Zhu Yuntao to die, it's easier and more affordable.

Zhu Yuntao is now full of happiness that can take revenge and blood hatred, and he has no time to take care of other trivial matters. He ignored Xiang Qing's speculation, just held his shoulders with both hands, and said to him excitedly:

"Brother Xiang, you are brilliant in writing and only eight buckets high, then I bother you to write a sea fishing document for your brother, and I will immediately let them copy it and send it to the various villages, counties and state capitals near Bashu Road! Oh yes! Didn't Xin Anhou always want to see me? Let's also send him a copy, and say that if he can catch Shen Gui, I wish Yuntao is willing to meet him...... Yes, yes, let's quickly put this matter into practice, lest Your Majesty change his will temporarily......"

"I wish you handsome and slow, it's a big matter, and I can't move my whole body with a single hair, and I'm really not good at acting rashly. Besides, that Xin Anhou has always wanted to see you, what is his mind, could it be that Zhu Shuai is not clear in your heart? We and the other two of us have eaten the king's fortune and repaid the king's kindness; Bashu Road is located in the rear of the land of Sanqin, and it is an important deployment for His Majesty to guard against Xin'anhou! Since you and I have been ordered to guard the important land on the southwest border, you should not live up to Your Majesty's trust and high hopes! ”

Once some small actions that are not visible rise to the group level, there is actually no secret at all. As Xiang Qing said, the geographical location of Bashu Road is extremely special, and the Zhenxi Army under Zhu Yuntao is not only defending against many tribes and harassing with the big and small golden boy Buddhas in Western Xinjiang; The most important strategic intention is to keep an eye on the rear of Xin'an Hou and always contain all the attention of the land of Sanqin.

It seems that this Xin'an Hou Mansion is a self-contained prince's back cover, but in fact, it is like a monkey that can never escape from the palm of the Buddha.
