Chapter two hundred and seventy-two, peak

Raindrops beat on the tent, and boiling tea was boiled on the stove. Shen Zechuan had already changed his clothes, sat in the chair, and asked Ji Gang, "Does Master recognize 'Fengquan'?"

"Yes," Ji Gang held the tea bowl and glanced at Qiao Tianya next to him, "but I really don't know that he is Shao Chengbi's son, let alone that Shao Chengbi is selling steamed buns at the gate of Zhaosin Temple... The earliest Taifu said that he would do this. At the time of the incident, it was only said that Fengquan was a hidden stake."

Shen Zechuan said, "Since he is Shao Chengbi's son, how could he become Mu Ru's younger brother?"

Ji Gang took the tea in his mouth, swallowed it after a while, and said, "You remember, the night we entered Zhaosin Temple, the Taifu said that there were countless casualties among the members of the East Palace. A few of the caught fish survived. Later, I asked the Taifu, but the Taifu refused to tell. Until one day, I was gossiping with the eunuch who came to distribute food every month in the palace. I heard that Li Jianheng, the king of Chu, liked beautiful women. The place is racking its brains to collect beautiful women."

Ji Gang took this as a joke and told Qi Huilian. A few months later, Li Jianheng's Zhuangzi in Jincheng sent Muru to Qidu.

"I inquired with Jin Yiwei and said that Mu Ru was raised in Zhuangzi for training since he was a child, and he never saw his brother for five or six years. Fengquan was able to follow her into the capital because his hometown was burnt down, and he did not The only way to go is to go to my elder sister." Ji Gang put down the teacup and said sternly, "I believe it is true, you have seen it in Yedu, that Mu Rushi really regarded him as a younger brother, who can see that this is fake?"

When Mu Ru arrived in Qudu, before Li Jianheng could collect it, Xiao Fuzi took the opportunity to present it to Pan Rugui. Mu Ru was very favored by Pan Rugui, so Fengquan was very fond of Pan Rugui, but he was not Pan Rugui's "grandson" at that time, because Pan Rugui had a little blessing beside him.

"On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival in the eighth year of Xiande, Taifu planned to kill Xiao Fuzi. You know this, I thought Taifu just wanted you to leave the temple," Ji Gang said, "Who knew that Xiao Chiye would be killed halfway."

Thinking of this, Shen Zechuan suddenly remembered that not long after he left Zhaosin Temple, when he was raising elephants in Jinyiwei, Xiao Chiye came to block him and wanted to turn his fingers, suspecting that he had placed someone next to Li Jianheng.

The genius of heaven.

Qi Huilian praised Xiao Chiye so much because his sense of smell was too sensitive. Based on his understanding of Li Jianheng, he realized that someone was instigating Li Jianheng to compete for Muru, but Xiao Chiye did not expect that the people around Li Jianheng were not arranged by Shen Zechuan at all. Yes, he competed with Shen Zechuan and could only be empty. But Qi Hui didn't even show any trace, Xiao Chiye's acumen was really amazing.

"Fengquan sent it in," Ji Gang said, "Taifu never mentioned it again."

There was rain on the top of the tent, and it was a little quiet inside.

Yao Wenyu lay Hu Nu on his lap. It wasn't cold. He broke the silence and said, "If it's him..."

"If it was Shao Fengquan, then why did Shao Chengbi bring the fire guns?" Shen Zechuan held his head with his left hand, and his thoughts were smooth in the warm tent, "Shao Chengbi knows that the fire guns were exchanged for the Fanzhou bandits, he understands that these fire guns can't be used. , but he still brought it."

Shao Chengbi came to die in order to give Shen Zechuan a reason to attack Dan City. He had thousands of ways, but he didn't need fire guns to make things superfluous, unless these fire guns were not used at all.

Qiao Tianya, who had been leaning back in the chair, suddenly sat upright, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Shao Bo wants to tell Fu Jun who is the scorpion."

The fire gun was given to King Yi by Zhongbo Scorpion, and Zhongbo Scorpion was obtained from Qidu Scorpion. Although Chen Zhen can mobilize the fire gun and master the blueprint, it is strange that he has no knowledge of the loss of the fire gun in the Spring Camp.

"The eunuch is the one who can see all directions with eyes and hear all directions." Shen Zechuan fell into a strange feeling, some of his clear things began to become blurred, while the vague things began to become clear, " Lu Guangbai told me that it was the eunuch of the supervisory army who replaced the military rations in Bianjun."

"Then Fuman is a scapegoat," Yao Wenyu said, "Xue Yanqing is a shield."

"This knife," Shen Zechuan frowned slightly, "it's a little unpredictable."

"Where exactly did you come from?"

Xue Xiuzhuo squatted in front of Fuman, looking at Fuman's expression.

Fuman only had a layer of skin left during the torture. He lost his tongue, so he could only stare at Xue Xiuzhuo with his abrupt eyes and his lips moved. Duan'er was holding a pen and paper behind Xue Xiuzhuo, trying to put it in Fuman's hands. But Fu Man had all ten fingers cut off, and he was already a crippled wretch.

Xue Xiuzhuo didn't expect the scorpion to move so fast, it was the same as when they abandoned Wei Huaigu. He stood up and said, "You are the eunuch who entered the palace in Yongyinian and served Emperor Guangcheng. Later, when Pan Rugui died, you were recommended by Xiao Chiye in the official ditch, and then you started to emerge. Then, you sent your godson to welcome you. I am delighted to see Qidong supervising the army, and motioned him to exchange the military rations of Bianjun. You want to let Bianjun lose the battle and open the eastern defense line for Amur. "

Fuman grunted in his throat, he touched the chain with his remaining fingers, lay on the ground and stared straight at Xue Xiuzhuo with his eyes.

The military and political changes are bound to be closely linked. As early as after the defeat, Hai Liangyi and other courtiers noticed the strangeness within Da Zhou. Since Yongyinian, they and the family have been inexorable, this is the collision of two forces, but since the defeat of the case, things will no longer continue according to either party's vision. The person who exposed his feet was Hua Siqian. He was too flustered when Hailiangyi was chasing the bill, and colluded with the Biansha cavalry to commit blood debts in the six states. At that time, the head of the household gave Xue Xiuzhuo a clear view of the transfer of grain and silver.

Xue Xiuzhuo turned around and muttered to himself: "Who knew that Lu Guangbai didn't die, but defected with the Bianjun garrison. Qi Zhuyin quickly returned to defense, and Qidong was still unbreakable. Your plan failed, so Amur transferred from Hasen and began to attack Libei. "

This is the beginning and end of the military ration case for Bianjun.

Fuman exhaled through his nostrils, rolled his eyes in despair, and became emotional.

Wei Huaigu led the Libei army grain case, colluded with Juexi officials, and sold grain to Zhongbo to make huge profits. In the process, they replaced the Libei military ration with moldy rice, and the incident came from Yang Cheng's post. The post was originally sent directly to the Ministry of Punishment, but after arriving in the capital, it was submitted to the Ministry of Households. Both Xue Xiuzhuo and Shen Zechuan believed that this move was a threat to Wei Huaigu. Because Xiao Chiye held on to the case and did not let go, they had to use the method of a strong man breaking his wrist to kick Wei Huaigu out to ensure that the other scorpions hidden in the capital would not be affected.

Then this "other", besides Fuman, who else?

Fuman's bloody palm rubbed against the ground, and he swiped laboriously, trying to tell Xue Xiuzhuo something. The bloodstains crossed on the ground, his breathing gradually increased, and suddenly he heard the prison door open.

"Sir," Feng Quan stood outside the door in a proper manner, "the post reported that the defectors are coming, Yuan Fu and the emperor are waiting for the adults to go to discuss matters at the Mingli Hall."

The lights in the cell were dim, and the hall was even brighter, which made Feng Quan's shadow saluting climbed into the cell and covered Fuman's body. Fuman was like being bitten by a snake, sweat and tears flowing, he stared at Xue Xiuzhuo's back, opened his lips, but couldn't make a sound.

Fengquan gave way to Xue Xiuzhuo, and after Xue Xiuzhuo left, his eyes turned slightly to look at Fuman. Fuman was panting heavily, his chest heaving, and the corners of his mouth were still dripping with clear liquid. Feng Quan looked around him and kicked him when the cell door was closed.

"What do you want to say to Xue Yanqing?" Feng Quan looked at the bloodstains on the ground and said clearly, "You want to write my name."

Fuman wanted to escape from Fengquan's shadow, but couldn't move.

"Don't worry," Fengquan held Fuman's wrist, and led him to write stroke by stroke on the ground, "Shh, listen to me, even if you tell him, he won't believe it. When the time is right, I will He will tell him that smart people need such a lesson."

Fuman's entire arm was shaking.

There were more and more bloodstains on the ground, Fengquan was paranoid writing words, he brought Fuman, and all the crosses that Fuman used to write the word "wind" were all twisted and twisted "kill".

"You wait," Feng Quan said softly, "I will never wrong you."

***

Tantai Hu finished counting the garrison, but he didn't see Liu Kong, he asked around, only to find that Liu Kong was really gone.

"Don't run away from this son of a bitch," Tantai Hu pinched the famous book, "I've cultivated his heart for nothing!"

"He's waiting for you to lose both, but he doesn't want the Fu-Jun to think things like God, and he won't be able to run away if he stays there." When Yu Xiao saw no one around, he quietly said to Tantai Hu, "You will report it to the Fu-Jun in a while and tell the truth. Now, don't talk too much."

Only then did Tantai Hu react, and he said in astonishment, "You mean Liu Kong is a meticulous artist?! He also went to Duanzhou with me to fight! Besides, Qiao Tianya didn't say, what is he doing to our stomachs?"

Yu Xiao couldn't explain it clearly, he just said, "You report the original words to the lord, and the lord will understand. I'm worried that he will run away at this moment, and the thief behind him will also run away!"

Tantai Hu was cold behind his back at the moment, he took a few steps, then backed back, and whispered: "You can tell me secretly, so that I can have a bottom line. Gentlemen love to play the game, if they don't say their names, I can't guess it either. In addition to my bad temper, Tantaihu made mistakes in Dunzhou, and I don't think I have offended anyone. There must be a reason for this thief to harm me!"

Yu Xiaozai then stretched out his finger and pointed to the south, with an embarrassed expression on his face: "This... ah, you have been affected."

Officialdom is like a cobweb, and every knot is closely related, and any rise or dismissal can cause shocks in the range. Yu Xiao can no longer say that he has no evidence, and he is suspected of ostracizing his colleagues if he speaks rashly.

The tea state in charge of Luo Mu is the gate of the Huaici tea business road. At first, there was no one under Shen Zechuan. As the state capital, he had all three powers. Except for the Jinyi Cavalry, no one could restrain him. He only needs to ask Shen Zechuan to ask for a book, and he doesn't need to ask the opinions of others. Over time, Shen Zechuan will lose his "eyes" in Chazhou. Therefore, when Wang Xian, who was born in the household department, appeared, Shen Zechuan immediately put Wang Xian in Chazhou.

Wang Xian has the power to manage the economy of the tea state, and he takes over the grain supervision and the taxation of the people's land in the tea state, which has actually divided Luo Mu's power. Luo Mu wanted to get rid of Wang Xian, but he couldn't impeach or cause trouble. Dunzhou Yamen has a rift with Tantai Hu, who is impulsive and prone to trouble, and has no personal relationship with Luo Mu. Luo Mu arranged for a Liu Kong to go over and put him next to Tantaihu, just as Wang Xian was about to prepare military rations, and the two met, there would be a dispute. Tantai Hu is also Xiao Chi's confidant, Wang Xian can't afford to offend him, so he can only report the matter to Shen Zechuan.

Luo Mu's move can not only leave his own people in the Dunzhou army, but also ruin Wang Xian's favor in front of Shen Zechuan. What is the relationship between Xiao Chiye and Shen Zechuan? Wang Xian insisted on making trouble with Tantai Hu, which is to embarrass the mansion and embarrass the second master.

Shen Zechuan sent Yu Xiaozai to supervise the army, and Yu Xiaozai was still the official. If Yu Xiaozai did something wrong in the Dunzhou garrison and became a meticulous work of collaborating with the capital, Wang Xian, who was also a capital officer, would be implicated.

This is called bullying across the mountain.

"Hurry up and tell Fu Jun," Yu Xiao picked up his robe again and walked to the other end, "I have to ask Fei Sheng if the Jinyi Guards set up by Chazhou have been withdrawn!"

Fei Sheng was eating, and after listening to Yu Xiaozai's question, he held his rice bowl and wondered: "Withdraw, when the lord of the government goes to Duanzhou, he wants to build a brocade cavalry, we are short of manpower, and you are the supervisor of the yamen in various places. All my people were withdrawn."

Yu Xiaozai immediately "ah", his expression changed greatly, and said, "No, Fei Lao Shi, something happened!"

***

Xue Xiuzhuo went to Mingli Hall in the rain, and everyone looked different when they entered.

"I suspect it is a trap set by Shen Zechuan," Kong Qiu said. "He has a good state capital, so why take such a risk?"

"One is that the imperial court has a bounty of one million yuan," Chen Zhen said. "The other is that he is loyal to the country with all his heart, and he is only forced to commit himself to the bandits. I see in his letter that he has long since surrendered, but Shen Zechuan is so jealous of him that he has not dared to dare until today. Come to the rescue at the risk of death."

"The Huaizhou garrison is still on the way," Li Jianting stood beside the imperial case. "If Luo Mu is already on the way, count the time and you will arrive in a few days."

"Dancheng can't be defended anymore, so call the rest of the capital," Xue Xiuzhuo said, "We still have 30,000 soldiers brought by Luo Mu. Qi Zhuyin wants to betray the country, yes, Yuan Fu wrote to Qi Shiyu and asked Qi Shiyu Do you also want to treason?"

He folded the letter.

"Luo Mu Zhongdao can coerce Hezhou and ask Hezhou Yan to hand over the surplus grain and block Shen Zechuan's food passage. Without tea and Hezhou, Shen Zechuan will have to break his arm. Our food is not enough, and his food will also bottom out. ——The 90,000 iron cavalry goes deep into the desert, and if Xiao Chiye doesn't return for a day, Shen Zechuan will have a hard time entering."
