In the side hall of the Son of Heaven Dragon Boat, dozens of high-ranking officials of the imperial court gathered together, and Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, sat high on the imperial couch, staring at the leather bag placed on the big table in the middle expressionlessly, he waved his hand, "Open it!" ”

The two guards carefully untied the leather bag rope and took out the contents of the bag one by one, a dagger inlaid with gold and jade, a few ingots of gold, a small sandalwood box, and a letter, and a few other small miscellaneous items, and the guards opened the sandalwood box again, and the inside was cushioned with a golden soft cloth, and in the middle was a pair of crystal fine jade bracelets.

Yang Guang slowly stepped forward and picked up the letter on the table, he looked at it, and said with a sneer: "Wang Mei Hui'er is actually Wang Mei, which family is the king, how can I not know?" ”

He turned his head suddenly, looking at Zhang Xuan who was sitting in the corner, "General Zhang, tell me about it?" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Xuan, and everyone felt strange, how could the saint ask him about this matter, what did he have to do with the assassination?

Zhang Xuan stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, this should be a letter written by Gao Xian, the head of the Bohai Society, to his sister Gao Hui, their grandfather is Gao Yanzong, the king of Ande. ”

Yang Guang nodded, "I know, you sit down!" ”

Yang Guang picked up the dagger again and looked at it, the dagger was a gold handle, the scabbard was inlaid with precious stones, and the bottom of the gold handle was engraved with the words 'Yanzong', he snorted, put the dagger down, and picked up the letter again, Yang Guang opened the letter, and pulled out a white linen letter full of words from it, he casually read a few lines, the letter asked Gao Hui to strengthen the penetration of Qingzhou, and add 200,000 yuan to infiltrate Qingzhou every year.

The Ya Que in the side hall was silent, and all the officials held their breath, waiting for the Holy Lord to announce the result, in fact, if the result was not announced, everyone understood that the assassin was the Bohai Society, although they could not catch the assassin. There is not enough evidence to prove that it was the Bohai Society, but sometimes this evidence is not needed, as long as a certain force threatens the Great Sui Society, it will face annihilation, and the Bohai Society is no exception.

"All the truth has been revealed!"

Yang Guang said coldly to the ministers: "The evidence is conclusive, and the widow of Northern Qi is the murderer of this assassination. This so-called Bohai Sea will exist for a day, and I will not be able to sleep for a day, and we must resolutely eradicate it. ”

Yang Guang looked at the ministers one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Pei Yun, "Doctor Pei, it's hard for you to make a trip!" ”

Pei Yun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and Weichen will never give up!" ”

"Don't be so nervous, I didn't let you lead the troops to fight the Bohai Society, you went to inspect Hebei for me. I want to know how rampant Beihai County is in Hebei, and give me a report as soon as possible. ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Yang Guang was no longer interested in these evidences, he picked up the letter casually, turned around and walked towards the inner cabin.

Everyone talked about it, and they left the side hall and walked towards their own boat, and Zhang Xuan also walked out of the side hall. At this moment, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. Zhang Xuan turned around, but saw Lu Zhuo with a smile on his face looking at him.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, "It turned out to be Uncle Lu, and the younger generation thought that Uncle Yan went to Jiangnan with King Yan to inspect." ”

"Originally, I was going to inspect the official schools in the southern counties, but I received a temporary notice asking me to follow the fleet back to the capital. So many people were surprised to see me and thought I had gone to Gangnam. ”

"I see, the younger generation inquired about the uncle's residence, and they all said that the uncle did not return north with the ship."

Lu Zhuo smiled and asked again, "When did the virtuous nephew come to Jiangdu?" I don't know? ”

"The junior didn't go to Jiangdu, he got on the fleet in Qiaojun, he originally came to report on his work, but he didn't arrange it for a long time, and he encountered what happened last night, and he probably had to follow the fleet back to the capital."

Lu Zhuo nodded, "It's okay to go back to the capital, you and Qing'er's marriage will be agreed by Qing'er's mother, and there will be no other problems, so wait patiently." ”

Of course, Zhang Xuan understands that Lu Qing's mother represents the Cui family, and in the final analysis, the Lu family doesn't want to turn against the Cui family, so he has to drag it out, and he doesn't want to ask more, after all, he hasn't thought too much about marriage now, and how to gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou is the top priority.

"Juniors can understand!"

Zhang Xuan's modest attitude made Lu Zhuo very satisfied, he remembered something again, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "I'm a little curious, why did the Holy Lord ask about the Bohai Society just now?" ”

Not only Lu Zhuo was curious, but in fact, all the ministers were curious, Zhang Xuan was in Qi County and Beihai County, and Bohai was in Wei County, two places where wind and horses and cattle were not related, why did they ask Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Yesterday I met General Zhang Da and reminded him to pay attention to the safety of the Shengshang Dragon Boat, he rushed to remind the Shengshang, but the assassination really happened, so the Shengshang paid more attention to the younger generation." ”

"So that's the case, no wonder—" Lu Zhuo suddenly realized.

At this moment, a little eunuch rushed over and saluted Zhang Xuan and said, "General Zhang just didn't leave, and the Holy Lord announced that General Zhang came in!" ”

Zhang Xuan apologized to Lu Xuan, turned around and followed the little eunuch quickly, Lu Zhuo looked at Zhang Xuan's distant back, and felt quite emotional in his heart, he didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be so valued by the saint.

At this time, a low laugh came from behind him, "Such a good son-in-law, Lu Yuanjun, don't catch it, beware of being snatched by others." ”

As soon as Lu Zhuo turned around, it turned out to be Xiangguo Su Wei, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Su Xiangguo!" ”

Su Wei smiled, "Pei Xiangguo is bent on recruiting Zhang Xuan as his grandson-in-law, but Zhang Xuan did not agree, I heard that the Dou family also has this idea, even the old man is quite moved, with him as a son-in-law, the revitalization of the Lu family is expected, miss this opportunity, the Lu family will regret it, Lu Yuanjun must grasp it." ”

Although Lu Zhuo's daughter followed Zhang Xuan to Qingzhou was desperately concealed by the Lu family, there were still some people who knew about it, Su Wei was one of them, and he had a very good relationship with Lu Zhuo's father, so he had the heart to remind Lu Zhuo.

Su Wei smiled, turned around and left, Lu Zuo also knew in his heart that this matter could not be delayed any longer

Zhang Xuan followed the eunuch into the cabin where Yang Guang was dealing with court affairs, he waited for a while, and a eunuch came out and said, "General Zhang, please come in!" ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly walked into the cabin, only to see Yang Guang, the son of heaven, standing in front of the window of the ship with his hands in his hands, looking at Chenliu County in the distance, at this time, Zhang Xuan saw the letter on the table, and he suddenly understood why Yang Guang was looking for him.

"Weichen Zhang Xuan see Your Majesty!"

After being silent for a moment, Yang Guang said slowly: "General Zhang, I called you here to learn about the infiltration of the Bohai Society in Qingzhou, I think you should know very well!" ”

Yang Guang turned around and stared at Zhang Xuan with sharp eyes.

Of course, Zhang Xuan understood that Yang Guang asked him about the Bohai Society, but in fact, there was a deeper meaning, not just because of Qingzhou, for example, how could he guess that it was the assassination arranged by the Bohai Society? In fact, it is to ask yourself why you know so clearly about Bohai.

He must give Yang Guang a satisfactory answer, which is not only related to his career, but even related to whether he can continue to stay in Qingzhou.

Zhang Xuan pondered and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since last year, the Bohai Society has co-opted Weichen and Zhang Dashuai more than once, but we have resolutely refused, but although they have failed to win over the military, they still refuse to stop, and continue to infiltrate the middle and lower-level officers and local officials, the former Beihai Liang Taishou is a member of the Bohai Society-"

"You killed him!" Yang Guang interrupted Zhang Xuan's words and asked.

How could Zhang Xuan admit that he killed Taishou without permission, this crime is not much lighter than colluding with Bohai, he immediately shook his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen didn't kill Liang Taishou, but he died because of Weichen!" ”

"Why?"

"Because Wechen has discovered that he is secretly colluding with the Bohai Society, he planned to investigate the infiltration of the Bohai Society in Qingzhou from him, but soon, Liang Taishou died unexpectedly, and also interrupted Wechen's investigation, Wechen thought that he was actually killed by the Bohai Society."

Yang Guang didn't quite believe Zhang Xuan's explanation, how important would a Taishou be to Bohai, how could he easily kill it? But Yang Guang didn't want to pursue this question, and he asked again: "What else is there about the infiltration of the Bohai Society in Qingzhou?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are two main aspects of the Bohai Society's infiltration in Qingzhou, on the one hand, it is the official infiltration, and on the other hand, it is infiltrated from the people, such as opening a wine shop inn, etc., the situation in Qi County is not very well understood, but the situation in Beihai County is very clear, and at present, the Bohai Society has not been able to penetrate into Beihai County, whether it is official or civil."

Yang Guang sat back in his seat, picked up the letter on the table and looked at it, in the letter, Gao Xian also said that it was necessary to strengthen the penetration of some short board counties, including Beihai County.

Yang Guang asked with great interest, "How did General Zhang prevent the Bohai Society from infiltrating Qi County?" (To be continued.) )
