Chapter 292: The False Twilight Lantern
These are just very peripheral surveillance materials, because the other party is a Wenxiu Zhenguo, and Long Yiwei can do this, which is enough to be proud.
Xing Lao looked at it seriously, and suddenly frowned: "He met with the imperial envoy Hu Chongmin three months ago. ”
Then I had dinner with Li Zhen, the Marquis of Changning. ”
A few days later, Wang Linhai, the servant of the ministry, visited him in the palace. ”
These clues are very scattered, Xiao Zhen also noticed it, he shook his head and said: "I understand what you mean, they are all Jin Bohou Hua Zengsui's people, but Hua Zengsui has been in a hurry recently, and his Yuezhou is about to fall into Song Zheng's hands......"
Speaking of this, he noticed that Xing Lao's eyes were blazing, and he suddenly reacted: "Are you saying that his target is actually Song Zheng?"
Xing Lao said: "My lord, wait for me." ”
He rummaged through the bookshelf on the side, took out a copy of the past newspaper and put it in front of Xiao Zhen, and pointed out a message on it:
There was an imperial envoy to impeach Lord Shoufu, and the county of Biankou County in Tongzhou ordered Liu Su to bribe Huang Yuanhe with the deduction of the ruins and spirit animal bones produced in the county, in order to seek the position of the county guard, and Lord Shoufu denounced it as nonsense.
Xing Lao explained: "Everyone thinks that Huang Yuanhe is a literary cultivator, but the old man guesses that he is likely to be a civil and military double cultivator. ”
"Impeached by the imperial envoy, but this kind of thing that has no conclusive evidence can't help Lord Shousuke. Unfortunate was the county commander Liu Su, after this incident, the small county commander was taken off the black gauze hat and demoted to a civilian.
But only two months later, this Liu Su became the salt supervisor of Haifeng County, Yazhou, and his fat shortage was far better than his county order in a poor county in Saibei.
Correspondingly, it was the father of a concubine of Jin Bohou who became the county guard of Saisai County in the same state. ”
Xiao Zhen frowned and said, "It turns out that they have already colluded. ”
"And the ruin soil and spirit beast bones happen to be the materials necessary for a very rare secret technique 'Void Lantern', the old man suspects that Lord Shoufu is the descendant of Wenxinzhai who was exterminated back then, so he has cultivated the secret technique of the Void Lantern and will use this secret technique to control people's minds!"
Xiao Zhen's face became solemn: "Asking Xinzhai is a cult, or a matter of the first emperor's time, their reputation is not obvious, and the scale has always been small, but the harm is even greater than that of the Silent Annihilation Hall." Only the imperial court knew that they had secretly controlled dozens of local dignitaries with various secret methods.
In order to exterminate them, Fan Zhenguo also took action personally. ”
Xing Lao nodded and said: "Yes, at their peak back then, they once controlled the three peak ancestors with secret methods, and as far as the old man knows, the Void Lantern is the first among all the mystical techniques of controlling the heart of Wenxinzhai, and only the strong people of Zhenguo can practice!"
Xiao Zhen nodded and said: "In this way, his goal is probably not just as simple as capturing Jiangnan and Lingnan, he wants to control Song Zheng!"
Xing Lao followed and said quickly: "The realm that the adults show to the outside world is also a strong person in the town. Huang Yuanhe was not sure to control the adult's mind.
But Song Zheng was just an ancestor, and he could easily subdue Song Zheng by performing this secret technique as a strong man in the town. Then, if the adult dies, with Song Zheng's prestige in Long Yiwei today, he will be the most suitable successor, so as long as Huang Yuanhe controls Song Zheng, it is equivalent to taking Long Yiwei and Jiangnan and Lingnan Kyushu into his control!"
Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth: "What a cunning calculation! He contacted Jin Bohou Hua Zengsui, I am afraid that he wanted to start with Yuezhou and create an opportunity to capture and then control Song Zheng." ”
Xing Lao speculated again: "If Jin Bohou Hua Zengsui doesn't know that Song Zheng has secretly controlled Mianzhou, Songzhou, and Yazhou, once he knows, he will definitely be panicked, as long as Huang Yuanhe agrees, keep his Yuezhou, and let him do nothing he will refuse." ”
Lingnan affairs, Song Zheng did not hide it from Xiao Zhen.
In this way, he is equivalent to controlling the richest ten states in Hongwu, and he has Long Yiwei in his hands, even the Queen Mother, and he does not dare to move him easily, and he can also play with the Queen Mother in the court. Xiao Zhen finally understood: "Sure enough, it's an old fox!"
Xiao Zhen got up and walked out: "They are so self-righteous and planned, and they treat the official's Long Yiwei as a delicacy, have they ever asked the official, hum!"
......
Song Zheng immediately received Xiao Zhen's warning, Xiao Zhen didn't say much to him, and reminded him to immediately go to the arrangement, looking for loopholes in the opponent's plan and intending to counteract.
On Jiangnan's side, Song Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts were flying in his heart.
There are twelve known jade veins in Yuezhou, and if they fall into the hands of Song Zheng, he is confident that he will open twelve more within a year. After jade mining and polishing, it is Yuan Jade, the common currency of the cultivation realm.
Speaking of which, Yuezhou is the most valuable one among the five states in Lingnan. But Song Zheng has never found a chance to start, and he ordered Zeng Qianhu to secretly investigate, Hua Zengsui seemed to have noticed it a few months ago, and in the territory of Yuezhou, additional manpower was dispatched, and there were even a few Yin God powerhouses.
It turned out that Huang Yuanhe reminded him. Song Zheng scolded secretly, the old dog is a good thing for me.
He was thinking about this when Shi Zhonghe's voice came from outside: "My lord, Zeng Qianhu is here, saying that there is something important to report." Song Zheng let him in, Zeng Qianhu with some excitement: "My lord, good news." Our brothers in the Yuezhou Mansion sent back the news that the three Yin God powerhouses who were guarding the side of the Zhou Mu Ma Hongsheng suddenly disappeared early this morning, and I heard that they were returning to Beijing to protect Jin Bohou Hua Zeng.
During this period of turmoil, Jin Bohou was scared, and his life was at stake. ”
Song Zheng smiled.
If it weren't for Xiao Zhen's early warning, he might really feel that this was an opportunity. He was ready to rush to Beijing, and wanted to unify the ten states of Lingnan and Jiangnan at the last moment. He probably won't let go of this opportunity.
Then this trap will also be stepped into.
"My lord?" Zeng Qianhu was a little strange, and the adult didn't seem to be very excited.
Song Zheng touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I'll give you an errand and find an ancestor who has cultivated to a fundamental official." ”
"My lord......" Zeng Qianhu wondered, Song Zheng waved his hand, he didn't ask any more, and went out to do it.
......
Yuezhou is rich, so there is a smell of "wealth" everywhere. The rare luxury built by the Yuezhou Mansion gives people the feeling that they can't wait to use Yuanyu as bricks and tiles.
Ma Hongsheng was the head of Jin Bohou Hua Zengsui's personal guards, and Hua Zengsui followed him when he had not inherited the title.
After Hua Zengsui snatched Yuezhou by virtue of his good relationship with the Son of Heaven, he appointed him as the governor of Yuezhou, and everyone knew that he was Hua Zengsui's most loyal lackey.
There are some secrets that Ma Hongsheng knows, and after the three Yin God powerhouse ancestors left today, he secretly paid attention to it, knowing that Hou Ye's plan was about to start, so he was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
Hou Ye roughly told him about this plan, mainly because he wanted to use him as bait and needed to reassure him. After all, the relationship between him and Hou Ye is extraordinary.
He also thought it over and over again, and felt that this plan was foolproof, so although he was a little nervous, he was more secretly excited. That person dominates the southeast, and on the surface he has six states in his hands, but in fact he has controlled nine states, and only his own Yuezhou is left.
It is an individual who has his own ambitions, and Ma Hongsheng is no exception. If he can make a mistake in his own Yuezhou, take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and take the entire Jiangnan and Lingnan, he will be famous all over the world.
He doesn't lack anything now, but his reputation is not very good, and this time it happened, and his reputation will be there.
He called his master: "Is Qingyue Tower ready, don't make any mistakes at the banquet at night." ”
The master thought that he had received the benefits of Qingyue Tower, and immediately said, "The student has gone to see it in person, and everything is fine." The students also told them that the adults invited the wealthy businessmen to their banquet, and they were to promote them, and if the errand was smashed, they would not have to open the Qingyue Tower. ”
Ma Hongsheng nodded: "That's good." ”
There are some external gestures that still need to be made, such as Ma Hongsheng has been trying to find ways to raise Yuanyu and expand armaments during this time. He wants to add a new battalion to the Yuezhou Mansion soldiers, all of which are heavily armored cavalry, and he does not seek to be able to fight against Song Zheng's fighting beast cavalry, at least there should not be too much difference in mobility.
The whole Lingnan felt the pressure of Lord Song, and if there was no reaction from Yuezhou, it would be suspicious.
Although he had money, why should he spend his own money on this kind of thing? So he apportioned it, and each of the wealthy businessmen who made a fortune in Yuezhou "donated" hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
Ma Hongsheng took advantage of this reason to hold a banquet in Qingyue Tower tonight, and he will attend in person to thank all the wealthy businessmen.
This news was easy to hear, so some of Long Yiwei's hidden piles in Yuezhou also got the news and reported it to Zeng Qianhu.
Song Zheng lived in a courtyard in the capital of Yuezhou, and he was accompanied by dozens of people, and the peak ancestor was hidden in it, looking like a wealthy businessman who had come to Yuezhou to do business.
This courtyard is a secret location of Long Yiwei, which has been rented for a long time and will not arouse the suspicion of others.
Zeng Qianhu came to see the lord with this information, and after saying that, he said: "Qingyue Tower is the most famous restaurant in Yuezhou, and Ma Hongsheng has scavenged hundreds of millions of yuan of jade from these rich merchants, in addition to forming a heavy cavalry of 1,000 people, at least half of the yuan jade will fall into his own pocket, so it is reasonable for him to invite everyone to have a meal." ”
Song Zheng smiled and was noncommittal.
Zeng Qianhu was a little unpredictable and didn't dare to say more. Song Zheng said very easily: "Then let's go to be an uninvited guest at night." ”
