Chapter 208: Pulling a Hair and Moving the Whole Body

The Qingzhou Mansion is more than twice as large as the Anqiu County Ya, the front and back of the Ya are separated by a Yi Gate, the center is where the Ling Governor's Mansion and his family live, and the two three-entry courtyards on the left are occupied by Zhang Yue. However, the house that was originally more than enough was overstretched because of the appointment of the two general judges and the two magistrates, and in the end, the two big families in the city "temporarily borrowed" two sets of houses that they did not use according to the old practice, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

How to mess with this outside, Du Juan doesn't need to care. As soon as the first holiday from the thirtieth day of the lunar month to the third day of the first lunar month passes, it will be a ten-day Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, and leaving her parents to spend the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival outside is the first time for her. Now in addition to Chunying in her yard, even Lingxi has moved over, and the outermost two rooms still live in the Cui family and the Li family, and there are no men in and out on weekdays, that is, Zhang Yue comes to see it from time to time, but it is no different from home.

On this day, the spring was still good, so she asked Chunying to erect the woodcarved window with the pattern of the eight immortals crossing the sea in the inner room, and set up a chessboard in front of the bookcase under the window. Counting out a few black and white chess pieces and placing them on the board, she remembered what she had said when she had come here to talk to her after meeting the guests. picked up a sunspot and placed it in the center of Tianyuan, and she placed a sunspot and a white son in the two star positions in turn, and then pondered.

Chunying and Xiao Wu have different temperaments, the most silent, but they are very interested in Go, at this time, they saw Du Juan opening the chess game and came over curiously, and after looking at the old man for a long time, he asked: "Miss, what kind of opening is this?" ”

"It's not a chess game, it's a gambling game." Du Juan replied thoughtfully, and when he turned his head, he saw Chunying's brows furrowed into a big pimple, and then he smiled, "Okay, okay, it's not in a hurry to learn chess." I'll teach you when the time comes. Go and see if Sister Lingxi has anything to do, and help her, otherwise you and I will really become idle eaters. ”

Three or two sentences sent Chunying away, and she continued to stare intently at the chess surface, swinging the chess pieces one by one, and after a while, she saw that the middle abdomen was still unfazed, but the competition for a corner was extremely fierce. Every next son. She had to ponder for a long time, and in the end, the battle for that corner finally involved the overall situation, and it was full of gunsmoke.

"Is Sister Wan there?"

Hearing Zhang Yue's call outside, Du Juan dropped the chess pieces and stood up, opened the curtain and went outside. As soon as she took a look, she found that Zhang Yue was wearing a black gauze hat and a cyan pan-necked right sara robe. A plain silver belt is tied around his waist. She is used to seeing Zhang Yue's ordinary attire on weekdays, and now she takes a closer look at this official uniform, which is also neat. After seeing each other, she asked, "Senior brother didn't have time to change into this official uniform and came over, but is there something wrong?" ”

"It's the same thing I said before. Although we have already calculated everything, I am still afraid that I will miss something, so I will look for you for details. Girl Girl. I repeat what we discussed last time, and you can see if there is anything missing. ”

Du Juan smiled slightly, thinking that he really expected his temper, so he nodded. Then Zhang Yue stood up and paced two steps, then cleared his throat.

"Now the first place in Qingzhou Mansion is the King of Han and his subordinate princes, the King of Han thinks very highly of himself and trusts those generals the most. is normal for his son, because of the first princess, he has some dislikes with the prince Shouguang. Although the prince is sick and weak, he has some scheming, but King Shouguang is a straw bag. The second is the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division, and all military figures are equally important, although Liu Dushuai is the commander of the capital, he may not be able to control everything. The commander of the capital, Lord Meng, used to be the commander of the guards in the mountains. Although it is in Shandong, it must still be related to King Zhao. He will also secretly watch the changes of the King of Han, and directly govern the two guards of Anton Wei and Lingshanwei, which should not be underestimated. The third is the White Lotus Sect, which has vigorously developed believers, and the situation is now unknown. Fourth, those upstarts, although rich and powerful, have local influence. ”

"That's pretty much it, and there should be nothing missing. However, there is a way that is a hundred secrets and a sparse one, and if the people who have not counted it come out and jump, it is also extraordinary, and everything must be prepared. ”

Zhang Yue pondered it again and found that there was indeed no omission this time, so he let go of his thoughts. Naturally, compared to the connections he said at this time, he also considered some more people, such as himself, such as the prefect of Ling who did not hum or ha, such as Jinyiwei, and those real nobles who were far away in the capital. He was about to say something else, but he didn't want Du Juan to speak before him.

"Since Senior Brother has made up his mind, I won't say anything else. King Shouguang's ambition is not big, but if this matter of grabbing salt reaches the ears of the emperor, it will definitely fall again, but if you can, please think twice, don't get into the reputation of the vassal king. If the senior brother is really ready to stir up the whole situation, please be more careful. ”

"I see, don't worry."

Jinyi Wei Shandong Wei is located in Jinan Mansion, this Qingzhou Mansion is only one office and three mansions, with a total of fifteen or sixteen people. In the past, although it was a bit gloomy here, it was outsiders who were scared, but these days, from the small flag to the general flag, as long as you step into this place, you can feel a cold breath blowing on your face, as if even your legs and stomach are cramping. In the final analysis, it is because of their small territory that there is an amazing person.

That's the head of the Fusi in Beizhen, the number one person in charge of the edict!

Mu Ning was promoted step by step from the last layer of Jinyiwei, before he entered Jinyiwei, when he was messing around on the streets, he didn't know how much he smashed with a brick stick, and it was even more common for him to vomit blood and get injured. Therefore, for Yuan Fang, who lifted him out of the sea of suffering and gave him an infinite future, he was naturally desperate. So, when he talks and does things on weekdays, he has learned enough of Yuan Fang's tone and methods, what he wants is that his subordinates respect him and fear that he will not dare to disobey, and now this situation is just unwanted!

The main house of the three into the house is quite spacious, a landscape calligraphy and painting in the center does not know that the general flag is from the corner of the clear, a few strokes are quite charming, there is a black wood desk under the landscape painting, next to it are two rosewood chairs. At this time, Mu Ning sat on the chair on the left, looking at the letterhead in his hand and was stunned.

"King Han dared to report such a thing as a gift directly to the emperor...... If the emperor suddenly became angry, wouldn't he be doomed...... The emperor's grandson presented a set of yellow tea sets in the stone to the emperor, and the emperor was happy. It seems that something he sent to the ground? He will really hide from the world, I will send someone to watch the movements of Qingzhou Mansion strictly, when will he give the gift to the emperor's grandson? ”

Muttering a few words, he suddenly saw the last line. At first, he thought he was wrong, but after checking it several times, he jumped up from his chair and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and couldn't help shouting loudly in his heart.

Yuan Tou actually gave him four people at once. Isn't this a tyrannical thing? Zhang Yue was confused about many of these things, and he might have left those four people idle. Even if you dare to use it but can't use it to the fullest, it will be a huge waste, wouldn't it be better to send it to him! Could it be that he will still treat Yuan Toudi badly?

"Mu Zhenfu, someone outside asked to see him, saying that he was sent by Commander Yuan."

As soon as he heard the confidant who came in say this, Mu Ning was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at the handwritten letter from Yuan Fang in his hand again. This letter was just delivered by Kuaima this morning. If something is commanded at the same time, why bother? In a moment, he saw a sergeant striding in with a man in a gray cloak, and was about to ask questions, but he saw the other man stretch out his thumb and pinch his fist and knock on the shoulder. Then he knelt down on one knee and saluted.

At this moment, Mu Ning immediately had a number, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the sergeant to retreat, and then ordered the man to get up. stared at the hooded cape for a long time. He asked with a strange expression, "What did your new master send you for?" ”

"The son is here, but there is a big matter to discuss with Mu Zhenfu." The man pulled the hat on his cloak back slightly, revealing his face full of thick beards, "The new son has learned about this...... This is not only related to the national plan, but also involves the overall local situation, and it can kill two birds with one stone, hoping that Mu Zhenfu can help one or two. ”

Mu Ning has always felt that Zhang Yue is too cautious and cautious, and he rarely alarms Jinyiwei when he encounters trouble. The last time he deliberately sent it to the door, he only cleaned up two little people, and by the way, he caught a lot of thieves, and there was not much left in three clicks. However, he never expected that this cautious and cautious person would also have a personality like a gambler, and he would want to deal with a big thorn in Shandong Province! Repeating the man's dictated events and plans in his mind, he was shocked to find out. Although there are a lot of intermediate links. If the arrangements are made properly and the actions are carried out carefully, it is difficult for others to detect the clues.

"Mu Zhenfu. What do you think of this? ”

"Did you tell your son-in-law about Yuan Tou something, otherwise how could he be so unscrupulous?"

Faced with such a question, the bearded man couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Last night, Gongzi called the four of us over, and asked a lot of things carefully, although we didn't reveal those key things, but according to Lord Yuan's instructions, we already admitted that we were related to him, and we showed some skills." As a result, when he saw those, Childe seemed to know everything, leaving me to take care of the call, and asked me to come to find Mu Zhenfu. ”

"It's good to use his strength to fight, why doesn't he have such a decisive and ruthless decision?"

Mu Ning couldn't help but think that Zhang Zuo was still in front of Jiangning Zhixian County, and he didn't know when he would be able to raise the two levels, so he suddenly shook his head. Now Yuan Fang is installing cronies layer by layer on Jinyiwei, and at the same time trying his best to play the role of the emperor's loyal dog, if this matter is well planned, it will not just kill two birds with one stone but count it with one stone. Since Zhang Yue has been pushed to the cusp by the King of Han, then he simply boosts it, even if he can't pull out the earth, he has to kill the little one!

The previous commander of the Jinyi Guard made Ji Gang and King Han entangled, and this time they had to be completely wiped out.

"Okay, go back and tell your son-in-law, I will let you contact you if there is anything in the future, I can mobilize all the appropriate manpower for him, let him toss! There is only one sentence, the merchant is profitable, let him pinch that family in the palm of his hand, and he must get stuck in their throats! If he doesn't have enough manpower there, I'll ask Beijing Yuan Tou to try to transfer a few more! ”

After seeing Du Juan, Zhang Yue was sure that he had considered all the major aspects, and suddenly felt relaxed, so he returned to the study leisurely. Hearing Lian Sheng say that the bearded man Hu Qi was waiting inside, he even let go of the biggest thing on his mind.

"Childe, everything is going well."

Although he had a premonition that Mu Ning would never let go of such a good thing that would benefit both sides, Zhang Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after receiving such a clear answer. After all, the name of the British Gong Zhang Fu can help him gain a firm foothold in Shandong, but sometimes the name is not easy to use, and he does not want to involve Zhang Fu, who has always been cautious and impartial.

"Three days later, you take the three of them to the Shouguang Salt Farm......"

After giving such an order, Hu Qiyi wrote it down and repeated it one by one. At the end, seeing Zhang Yue staring at his beard, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Although the body is affected by the parents, my parents are long gone, so naturally I don't care about this thing outside the body." Don't worry, the three of them and I will be dressed up in disguise, and when the matter is done, I will shave this beard and keep it for no one to recognize. ”

It is natural and pleasant to talk to a smart person, and when this person is sent out of the study, Zhang Yue wanted to ask someone to call Peng Shisan, but after thinking about it, he simply went to the stable in the south courtyard. Although it is nominally considered the beginning of spring, it is still a cold weather, but Peng Shisan is washing his mount there bare-chested, and the big black horse next to Zhang Yue has been washed cleanly, and he snorted as if he was happy when he saw Zhang Yue. Seeing this, he couldn't help but walk forward quickly and rubbed the neck of the big black horse twice.

"It's a cold day, I happen to be free, so even your horse, young master, was washed together, I guess you are not available!" Peng Shisan casually threw the bristle brush into the bucket, ignoring the splash of water on his pants, so he clapped his hands and smiled, "Although there are grooms to take care of, most of them are so-so and unsatisfied, so naturally they can't come in person." Look at the young master's appearance, do you have something to tell me? ”

"Lao Peng, the people you borrowed from Liu Dushuai have all been scattered, and now there is any news?"

"There is a lot of news, but there is little trust." Peng Shisan replied neatly, and when he saw Zhang Yue frowning, he explained again, "Those who believe in the Buddha's mother are all natives in Shandong, and few of Liu Dushuai's families are local, even if they are local, they all know that they are on an errand in the Dusi Yamen, so I just asked them to drive some rural idlers and the like to inquire about the news." Now at a preliminary level, Shouguang, Zhucheng, and Anqiu are the places that have had the most believers in the snow-stricken places before, no less than 10,000 people. The leader of Anqiu is called Zhao Wan, the god leg can travel thousands of miles a day, and it is rumored that there is a unique ability to tie paper people with one hand, and the paper manpower is infinitely like a real person, and the Buddha mother who appeared in Anqiu Wangjiazhuang was the one he accompanied to go. ”

"No less than 10,000 ......"

Zhang Yue took a deep breath, and his heart was full of horror. Shandong garrison is mostly prepared in the Dengzhou area, although this Qingzhou is where the Shandong capital is located, there are several guards and thousands of households nearby. Nominally, there are more than 1,000 people in each 1,000 households, but these are all standing military households, and it is almost impossible to use them in case of an uprising. Thinking of the person who warned last time, as well as the strange white silk and the bearded man at the Lantern Festival, he immediately instructed Peng Shisan: "No matter what method is used, people must try to break into it." If it is just an association, if one of them instigates rebellion, I am afraid that if we are idle, it will be a big chaos. ”

The words "instigating rebellion" suddenly gave Peng Shisan an an extremely bad premonition. He frowned, and suddenly said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll take a trip myself, I heard that those believers choose warriors to serve the Buddha Mother every month, maybe I can still have a warrior apologetic." What are you watching me do, young master? I shaved my beard, and that's a good man! ”
