Cui Geng was also confused, and when he heard Feng Changqing ask, he was also in a dilemma.

Not only because of the embarrassment of the Khitan identity, but the most important thing is that he knows that in history, Sun Wanrong, a Khitan person, will rebel a year later!

Now that he is in full view, he has taught the Khitan people the art of raising chickens with earthworms. When Sun Wanrong rebels, will there be political enemies who will talk about it? I'm afraid that Lai Junchen is the first to bear the brunt, right? Once this matter is confirmed by Lai Junchen, it will be a catastrophe for himself, for the Qingyuan Cui family, and even for the Boling Cui family!

But now Sun Wanrong's children have heard about this technology in the crowd, and they are right, since it has been announced to the public, it is not considered a secret recipe for stealing. I can't detain Sun Wanrong's son and daughter, right?

Seeing that Cui Geng's face was cloudy, Sun Wanrong's second son, Sun Zhongli, said hurriedly: "Could it be that Cui Changshi is also like that dog official Zhao Wenhui, who treats us Khitans like pigs and dogs?" ”

"Ahem, ahem...... What Khitans? ”

At this moment, Fan Guanglie, who was stunned, suddenly woke up.

Seeing this, Cui Geng immediately began to shake the pot and said: "Fan joins the army, these three are the sons and young ladies of Sun Wanrong, the assassin of Chengzhou, and now they are disguised and come to Dingzhou to learn the art of earthworm chickens." Fan Senjun thinks that this official should let them go? ”

"Let it go, of course you have to let it go!"

When Fan Guanglie heard the young lady of Sun Wanrong, a Khitan native of Chengzhou, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't know where the strength came from. What is wrong with them coming to Dingzhou to learn the art of earthworm chickens? ”

"Hmm......" Cui Geng groaned.

"Cui Changshi, if you don't let them go, it will destroy the harmonious relationship between the Khitan tribe and the imperial court!" Fan Guanglie saw that Cui Geng seemed unmoved, and hurriedly searched for it in the group, and shouted: "Sun Thorn History, Sun Thorn History, you still showed up to say something." ”

"Uh...... Here it comes. Sun Yangao also hurriedly wiped off the ashes on his face, straightened the clothes on his body, quickly squeezed out of the crowd, bowed his hand slightly at Cui Geng, and said, "Cui Changshi is invited." ”

When Cui Geng saw that Sun Yangao was also willing to show up, he immediately pretended to be surprised, and then said, "Sun Tingshi, why are you here?" Belch...... Why are you in rags, you see your hair is messy, your face is still gray, did you let the dog chase you, or what? ”

Of course, Sun Yangao also knew that what he did today was not authentic, he was so faceless, skinless, shameless, and shameless, he was squeezed by Cui Geng, his old face turned red, and he reluctantly explained: "Ahem, I heard that some people came to Huangcheng Village to make trouble, lest something happen, I came to Huangcheng Village... That micro-service private interview. Well, seeing that Cui Changshi commanded Ruoding and calmly resolved the people's grievances, the official was relieved! ”

"Oh, I see."

Cui Geng also felt that the two sentences were similar, and he was still waiting for Sun Yangao to be the backstabber, so he randomly went straight to the point and said: "These three Khitans, how does Sun Tingshi think they should be handled?" ”

Sun Yangao hid in the crowd, naturally knowing what had just happened, and when he heard Cui Geng's question, he replied without thinking: "Of course it's acquittal!" If you detain them, annoy Sun Wanrong, and destroy the relationship between the imperial court and the Khitan tribe, it's not something you and I can afford! ”

Sun and Fan thought that Cui Geng would hesitate, but who knew that Cui Geng sighed, and replied with unusually respectful cooperation: "Since it is an order from Sun Thorn Shi, Fan joins the army and proposes it, so Cui is better than obeying his fate respectfully!" ”

Then, he waved his hand at Sun Wanrong's three children and said, "Since Sun Tingshi and Fan joined the army to protect you, then you can go." ”

Well, the pot is successful!

Sun Wanrong's eldest son, Sun Boxing, clasped his fists and thanked him: "Thank you Cui Changshi, the past few years have not been good, and the water and grass are not abundant." I, the Khitan tribesmen, have many people who are difficult to continue their lives. If Cui Changshi's unique method of raising chickens is really effective, my Khitan Babu will always remember your great kindness. ”

His younger brother Sun Zhongli pursed his lips and said, "Brother, what are you thanking him for, if you want to thank us, you also have to thank Sun Tingshi and Fan for joining the army, speaking up and guaranteeing for our brothers!" ”

Sun Shuwen also shook her little fist, and said coquettishly: "Yes, Sun Tingshi and Fan are good people, and this Cui Changshi is a bad person, too stingy." ”

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said: "Little lady, who is a good person and who is a bad person, you can't tell the difference just by listening to a few words." For example, you brothers and sisters, the official doesn't know if you will be a good person or a bad person in the future. ”

"Hmph, what are you talking about? Of course, our brother and sister are good people. Sun Shuwen said.

"Oh? Is it? Cui Geng smiled meaningfully and said, "Since you are a good person, you won't do anything to take revenge, right?" Today, you Khitan people have learned the method of feeding chickens with earthworms from this official, and whether you want to be good people in the future depends on your own choice. ”

Sun Shuwen was young and didn't understand the deep meaning of Cui Geng's words, but Sun Boxing, who was the eldest brother, understood it in an instant.

He smiled awkwardly and said: "Cui Changshi is too worried, my Khitan is loyal to the Great Zhou, and there is absolutely no way to talk about what kind of revenge." ”

"Oh? Is it? Cui Gengyi waved his hand happily and said, "Go!" I hope that Sun Dagongzi will remember what he said today. ”

Subsequently, the Sun brothers and sisters squeezed out of the crowd, left quickly, left Anping County in the afternoon of the same day, and left Dingzhou within three days and returned to the Khitan tribe in Chengzhou.

……

……

A big turmoil disappeared invisibly, and Cui Geng's life returned to peace.

In the blink of an eye, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Legend has it that at night, New Year beasts and ghosts and demons would come out to cause trouble. In order to deal with the Nian beast, people invented firecrackers.

What about dealing with ghosts and demons? That is to form a brigade to drive these ghosts away.

The specific ritual is that there is a pair of men and women in front of the head, wearing the masks of the old man and the old woman to lead the dance, and these two people are called the Wu Gong and the Wu Po.

Behind them, there are hundreds of people wearing children's masks, known as the Guardian Boys.

Of course, how can there be no villain on the side of justice alone? Others put on ghost masks and walk around playing and singing.

The whole team marched through the city, singing and dancing, bustling, jumping lively, and very lively.

In the Tang Dynasty, the entire Chinese New Year's Eve is equivalent to the carnival of the West in the future, and men, women and children can join in, let loose and enjoy themselves.

Cui Geng, Song Genhai and others ate dinner early, put on the masks they had prepared, and joined the expulsion brigade.

Cui Geng's appearance is a big-headed evil ghost, singing and dancing with everyone, with little effort, and he has already reached the crossroads.

Suddenly, a man wearing a mask of a hanged ghost squeezed over, tugged at the corner of Cui Geng's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Cui Changshi, please come with He." ”

It's He Mingyuan's voice!

On Chinese New Year's Eve, what is he looking for me for?

Cui Geng was full of suspicions, greeted Song Genhai and Feng Changqing, and followed He Mingyuan to a secluded courtyard.

After entering the main hall, He Mingyuan turned around and closed the door, and saluted Cui Geng: "I've seen Cui Changshi!" ”

Cui Geng raised his hand and asked, "Why is the shopkeeper so anxious to find this official?" ”

He Mingyuan said: "A few months ago, in the dilapidated shop in Dongtingzhuang, Cui Changshi asked He to secretly send people to inquire about Sun Yangao and Fan Guanglie, whether they were secretly doing some unknown secrets, do you remember?" ”

Cui Geng nodded and said, "Of course I remember, what?" Got eyebrows? ”

"Actually, He Mou had already heard about this a few days ago. However, he has been hesitating whether to tell Cui Changshi about this, and it was not until tonight that he made up his mind to tell him about it. He Mingyuan's face was solemn.

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing this, Cui Geng knew what He Mingyuan knew, and he couldn't help it.

He Mingyuan said: "The Khitan people and Sun Yangao are likely to have a lot to do with each other, Cui Changshi should prepare early!"

Song Genhai on the side listened to it and said happily: "He is the shopkeeper, you are also... It's too much of a fuss, isn't it? Sun Yangao I is the history of the Dingzhou Thorn, and the Khitan man Wan Sun Rong is the history of the Chengzhou Thorn, they have a little friendship and have a great relationship, what's so strange? This little, is it worth being so mysterious? ”

"Of course it's more than that."

He Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Dingzhou Wohu Mountain, a gold mine was discovered this year, which is very easy to mine and has an extremely high output. Later, this gold mine was seized by a force, and almost everyone who heard the secret was killed, including the former governor of Ding, Shi Lixue. ”

Cui Geng's face changed slightly, waved his hand to signal Song Genhai not to gag, and then asked: "Are you saying that even Huang Youwei, a land-sitting household, doesn't know about the Crouching Tiger Mountain Gold Mine?" Then the ability of this group of forces is still really great! Could it be that the person behind this scene is Sun Yangao, the assassin of Dingzhou? ”

He Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "If only Sun Yangao would be able to do it." According to my people's secret knowledge, part of the gold from this mine was given to Sun Yangao, another part to the Khitan, and some to the hands of the powerful people in Jizhou, Cangzhou, Yizhou, and Weizhou. ”

"What?"

Feng Changqing, who had been silent, suddenly changed his complexion, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Yangao discovered gold mines in Dingzhou, and he actually concealed it from the imperial court, and shared the spoils with the Khitans and the powerful officials of the other four states...... Could it be that the people of these five states want to unite with the Khitan to rebel? ”

He Mingyuan glanced at Feng Changqing and said, "The Feng guards reacted quickly, but in fact, this rebellion is by no means as simple as the Wuzhou Assassin Shi and the Khitan Sun Wanrong joining forces, eh, the water in this is too deep and too deep......"

"Don't say it, the official understands it completely!"

Suddenly, Cui Geng remembered the major event in history when Sun Wanrong raised an army against Zhou, the rebellion at that time was huge and invincible, especially in the five states of Dingji, Yicang and Wei, which was almost decided, and his slogan at that time to raise troops against Zhou was - "Return me to the king of Luling!" ”。

Who is the King of Luling?

The king of Luling is Li Xian! Wu Zetian's third son was an emperor before, and he will still be an emperor in the future!

In this way, the real person behind Sun Wanrong and the Wuzhou Assassin History is Li Xian, the king of Luling!

Damn, can I afford to mess with such a character?

The key is that you don't look at him now that he is deposed, in a few years, Wu Zetian will be dying and old, and after the coup d'état by Shenlong, Li Xian will take over the throne and restore Li Tang Jiangshan!

No wonder He Mingyuan hesitated and didn't dare to tell himself.

It turned out that unconsciously, he had already entered the battle between Wu and Li!
