In the post house, Zhang Cheng saw Wang Boyan, who had been late for two days, and told him about the troubles in Chang'an, and heard that Yang Zhi had killed Zhao Zongyin and arrested Liu Guangchun, but handed over the case to Jingzhao Mansion, Wang Boyan suddenly sweated and couldn't wait to ask: "Lord Zhang, our people are not involved in this matter, right?"

"Nope. Zhang Cheng knew that Wang Boyan was cunning, thought for a while and said: "This matter is guided by Liu Guanglie in the back, he wants to mess up Chang'an and see if King Kang has a chance to intervene." ”

Wang Boyan said angrily: "Rat-eyed guy, he wants King Kang to come forward and fight for the interests of their Liu family. I don't want to think at all, if it were him Liu Guanglie in Chang'an, Yang Zhi arranged for people to toss like this, what would he think. Yang Zhi will never give up, now it should be luring the snake out of the hole, since you can find out the news from the government, Baliu Car Dealer told the truth, the rest is whether Yang Zhi can implement those evidence. ”

Zhang Cheng was suspicious: "No, Yang Zhi now needs the support of the people in Guanzhong, and he dares to mess around?"

Wang Boyan said with a straight face: "This is the problem, you think too highly of Yang Zhi in some places, he is not just an official, a local official, why does he value these false supports." I dare to say that as long as Yang Zhi implements the evidence, no matter who it is, he will dare to attack; think about it, how did the Guo family's conflicts in Hedong start?

The Dingbei army needs the gentry to say good things, it is King Yun, not Yang Zhi; Yang Zhi will definitely do it, only when Chang'an is turbulent, Yang Zhi can do what he wants. You must know that Yang Zhi lost all the salt works from Weizhou to Chang'an almost at once, and the Jin army was about to go south, what do you think Yang Zhi would care about other people's opinions; if he couldn't hold Chang'an, he wouldn't step down. ”

Zhang Cheng heard what Wang Boyan meant, and his face changed: "Yang Zhi wants to be driven out of Chang'an?"

Wang Boyan shook his head and said: "No, Yang Zhi will not have such a plan, according to my opinion, Yang Zhi will definitely settle this matter before the war, and use the people who open the knife to fill the gap in Chang'an's finances, and with military salaries, grain and grass, Yang Zhi can give it a go; to put it bluntly, Liu Guanglie is just a martial artist, and he does not see that the current situation is favorable to Yang Zhi." Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is now trapped in the quagmire of Xingzhou, and he will never dismiss Yang Zhi; King Kang himself is unable to protect himself and has no ability to intervene. ”

Zhang Cheng reminded: "Lu Tianshan may not agree, I heard that the Lu family is also involved. ”

Wang Boyan said with some excitement: "Lu Tianshan and Youshou defected to Yang Zhi because of the relationship between Guan and the middle school, not because of the glory and wealth; how could such a person fall out with Yang Zhi for a little profit? If I guessed correctly, they are playing a double reed, intending to wipe out all the people in the end. ”

Before Wang Boyan's words fell, one of his subordinates quickly rushed into the room: "Lord Zhang, someone outside the city has launched military fireworks. ”

Zhang Cheng's heart was excited, he stood up and scolded: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry out of the city to find out what the situation is." ”

The messenger promised and left in a hurry, and ran back in less than an hour to report that Yang Zhi's men had broken through the Liu family's manor, and even the thunderbolts and rockets were used. Unexpectedly, Wang Boyan's words came true, Zhang Cheng glanced at Wang Boyan and asked his subordinates: "What is the reason?"

The subordinate was also a capable person, and he arched his hand and said: "It was a trap, the official of Jingzhao Mansion first went to search the manor with the official document of the government, but the Liu family's family did not let him in; However, I chatted with the official Guan Shidu who came forward, and this guy seemed to have deliberately revealed that Yang Zhi's people had found an iron mine hidden by the Liu family. ”

Zhang Cheng slapped his palm on the table, shook the dishes high, and then leaned back on the back of the chair in despair, the Liu family is the real hero of Chang'an, the family members of the manor are all veterans, Liu Yanqing's clan is even more martial arts, plus the power of Liu Guangshi's brothers, the Liu family usually doesn't even pay much attention to the government, otherwise Liu Guanglie would not have such confidence, and he would make Yang Zhi and others disgraced in Chang'an.

In the Great Song Dynasty, although private mining was allowed, iron ore was never among them, and iron ore belonged to the exclusive management of the Salt and Iron Division, and private intervention was not allowed like Yantian, and the Liu family's practice was to reverse the dragon scales. Zhang Cheng didn't need to ask, he could imagine the result of the Liu family, Liu Guanglie might be able to choose himself, but the people in Chang'an probably had no hope at all.

Wang Boyan said quietly: "Yang Zhi will not be unsure of what to do, arrange for someone to ask, what happened to the Liu family, and report to King Kang urgently, the brothers can no longer lead troops, so as to prevent Miao Fu's incident from happening again." Yang Zhi is ruthless, Liu Guanglie and Liu Guangshi's military power will not surprisingly fall into the hands of Zhang Jun and Wang Shu, which can be regarded as allowing the two to increase their strength a little before the war. ”

Now what Zhang Cheng wants to do is to reduce the scale of the conflict as much as possible, after all, Liu Guanglie is a general under King Kang, and this matter is likely to be used to make a fuss, Zhang Cheng asked Wang Boyan: "You and I are the imperial history, you can sue Yang Zhi for disturbing the people." ”

Wang Boyan didn't want to take the lead by himself, so he stopped Zhang Cheng and said: "It's useless, even if Yang Zhi retracts it now, the Liu family will be willing to give up? When Wang Shu and Liu Guanglie put their hands into Chang'an, they should think of this day, what is the concept of iron ore, what is the concept of selling to Jinren, saying that if it is small, it is smuggling, and if it is big, it is fornicating with the enemy country, do you think Yang Zhihe will give in?

If we turn a blind eye and Liu Guanglie puts those people back, there may be a chance to make a private deal, and if you make a big move and the two sides go to court, I am afraid there is no possibility of a compromise. What you have to worry about now is that Yang Zhi sent us the facts of the case and asked us to jointly submit a letter to Hangzhou, then we will be in a dilemma. ”

If Zhang Cheng and Wang Boyan jointly wrote the book, it would be a slap in the face of King Kang Zhao Gou, but if he did not agree, Yang Zhi would be a little bit of water in the concert, which would probably make Song Huizong think that King Kang was making trouble in this matter. Zhang Cheng came to his senses and immediately said: "Lord Wang, if you hurry to Qinzhou, you will say that you will investigate the situation of the people in Shaanxi, and by the way, invite Lord Fan Zhixu to come over; if Yang Zhi comes to me, I will say that I am here to do business and will not participate in the investigation of the case." ”

Wang Boyan was overjoyed, he could leave Chang'an justifiably, if Fan Zhixu came, anything could be done to let Fan Zhixu be in front, Wang Boyan stroked his palms and smiled: "Lord Zhang is really Zhuge reborn." ”

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly, if this is the case, even if Zhuge Liang is reborn, it is estimated that children will not believe it.
