Huo Lingyun had seen wolves. In the wilderness of Dengzhou, those skinny wolves tucked their tails and ran on the hunting grounds of the King of Wings, their eyes glowing green with hunger. But at this moment, what he saw was the wolf from the north. Not only was he strong, but he was also so powerful that he held onto the chain, and even the muscles in his back tensed.
Huo Lingyun couldn't breathe, because if he opened his mouth again, Xiao Chiye would cut his throat. He knelt here, and the atmosphere around him was completely dominated by Xiao Chiye, which was an illusion of being pressed down on the back of his head.
Xiao Chiye asked Huo Lingyun to kneel and bow his head.
Huo Lingyun sweated in that long silence, he didn't want to compromise, but when he came back to his senses, he had already staggered his eyes and lowered his head.
After the heavy snowfall, the Libei Tieqi never won again. Now the battle is very frustrating. Gone are the days when the iron cavalry dominated the northern battlefield. Huo Lingyun originally wanted to frustrate Xiao Chiye's spirit and level the negotiating position of the two parties here, but he hit the iron plate firmly and was pushed to the ground by Xiao Chiye instead.
Xiao Chiye's shadow didn't move, his lowered eyes were fixed on the back of Huo Lingyun's head, and he repeated indifferently, "Is it alright?"
Huo Lingyun gritted his teeth in frustration, his throat was unwilling.
I was actually scared!
Xiao Chiye is very different from Shen Zechuan. At certain moments, he will not be vain and condescending, he will dominate, hold down all the heads that provoke him, and only give each other a way to go. The early banned army had a deep understanding of this.
Shen Zechuan clasped the tea lid and tapped his fingers repeatedly. With the strength of his recovery, in this subtle movement, he miraculously relieved the pressure in the room, allowing Fei Sheng, who was still kneeling, to resume his breathing.
Gu Jin outside the door let out a slight breath of heat and let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife.
It wasn't until Huo Lingyun's back was completely soaked that the shadow that enveloped him did not retreat. Xiao Chiye didn't look away, he just leaned back into his comfort zone, as if he had lost interest in Huo Lingyun who bowed his head.
Shen Zechuan opened the tea lid at this moment, and said in the gap between drinking tea, "You know the situation in Duanzhou very well."
These two people succeeded seamlessly, but both revealed a dangerous atmosphere. Huo Lingyun's palms were all sweaty, he retracted his contempt, and became more and more sure that he was right.
"The scorpion has approached King Yi," Huo Lingyun decided to show his sincerity, "In December last year, he instigated King Yi to raid Chazhou and cut off your connection with Qidong, so he gave King Yi a batch of fire. pistol."
Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye both thought of the white scorpion in this flash of light. These fine works of edge sand were hidden in the depths of Da Zhou, and they cooperated with Amur and pierced Da Zhou's heart.
Last December was the point when Libei Iron Cavalry turned from attack to defense. If King Yi had the courage to follow Scorpion's instigation and raided Chazhou, Shen Zechuan would surely be restrained and reduce his aid to Libei. Another point is that as long as the road to Chazhou is cut off, Qi Zhuyin will have to go northward from the east of the Tianfei Que, and must pass through the territory of Fanzhou. When the scorpion is in ambush, the commander will have to worry about his life.
"They are staring at Commander Qi." Shen Zechuan looked at Xiao Chiye, and his unfinished words were all in his eyes.
Hasen besieged Xiao Fangxu not only to attack Li Bei, but also to take the opportunity to catch Qi Zhuyin. Amur really knew Da Zhou well.
"But King Yi didn't move. He willingly acted as a tortoise in Fanzhou, and then you blasted his head with a fire gun," Xiao Chiye said coldly, "Did the scorpion find you?"
Huo Lingyun stared at his knees and said, "No."
"You're lying," Shen Zechuan raised his eyes with tea foam floating, and said affirmatively, "You've been in contact with scorpions."
When Shen Zechuan was in Jinyiwei, he successively served as the governor of the north and south, and his time in the prison was not short. He has his own way of interrogating people, just like he used to deceive Ji Lei and Xi Hongxuan. In conversations, he is good at using the environment to manipulate the atmosphere.
Sometimes you can't talk too much, and at that moment, the other party will naturally think of more.
Huo Lingyun had to stay awake. He knelt here, and if he answered the wrong question again, he might be in a different place. Under the pressure of two people, he took a deep breath, as if to exhort himself to calm down. He was at the end of the game, and the worst situation was now, so when he looked up again, he regained some composure.
"That's right," Huo Lingyun said, "I had contact with the scorpion long before King Yi. My father won the battle in the six years of Xiande, and he sent someone to persuade my father to give up Fanzhou, and promised to give my father the title , but my father refused."
Shen Zechuan tilted his head slightly, the redness in the corner of his eyes was hidden in the oblique shadow of the backlight, and he said, "You are talking about 'he'."
Not them.
Huo Lingyun recalled the night a few years ago when the carriage from Yedu carried a precious letter. Huo Qing stood by the candlelight and opened it, feeling the heavy promise in it.
If Bianjun is the most miserable station in Qidong, then Dengzhou is the poorest state in Zhongbo. These two places are similar in poverty. The only advantage of Dengzhou is that it does not have to face the Biansha cavalry all the time like Bianjun. shock. After the defeat of Zhongbo's soldiers, Huo Qing was devastated by bandits. He was trapped in this corner and could not get any help from the court.
That letter was Huo Qing's last chance to get out of the predicament, but he didn't accept it and ended up being buried in a dog's belly.
"It's him," Huo Lingyun clenched the word, "this person is hiding in the capital, and the person who can make such a promise is definitely not an ordinary person. After my father refused to bribe, he was impeached by Peng Gou, and the Ministry of War refused to accept it. When I promoted my father, I believed in Peng Gou's lies, and stopped giving Dengzhou the military funds it deserved. It was at that time that the Dengzhou bandits revived. Yang Qiu went to Fanzhou and Cuiqing to join hands to set up a kiln business, and re-sold the women's business. Worked up, and took the opportunity to catch up with Lei Changming of Luoshan."
Connected!
Shen Zechuan remembered the confusion when he was in the account books of Chayan's family in Dunzhou. Why didn't the large amount of materials stolen by Bian Sha from Dazhou leave no traces? Because they are not on the line of Dun, Luo, and Duan at all, Lei Changming and Lei Jingzhe are just a blindfold set up by Amur in the northeast of Zhongbo.
No wonder Yan Heru is so confident in this matter, he has never touched these goods, but he must know, because all the traders in his hands have contacts with Cuiqing. Shen Zechuan combined with Yu Xiao's remarks about the case of Peng Fangmiao's impeachment against Huo Qing in the six years of Xiande, which further confirmed the guess.
"The goods came from Fanzhou," Shen Zechuan held the tea cup. "They sent the goods directly to the banks of the Chashi River, without even passing through Dunzhou."
"He" initially wanted to rely on his title to bribe Huo Qing to become a white scorpion, and to turn the Dengzhou garrison in Huo Qing's hands into a delivery escort. After being rejected by Huo Qing, "he" found Dengzhou Prefecture again. Peng Fangmiao, Peng Fangmiao accepted the bribe, and violently impeached Huo Qing for this.
"Yu Jing," Shen Zechuan suddenly asked Yu Xiaozai, "Which year was Peng Fangmiao sent to Dengzhou? Whose student was before this?"
Yu Xiao thought hard again, and could only say: "...I can't remember. After four years of Xiande, Zhongbo neglected management.
The officialdom is like a sea, and there are too many important positions in Qedu, and the trivialities of the local area are even more complicated. Not to mention Zhongbo, even Yu Xiaozai, the county magistrates from the thirteen cities of Juexi down, can't remember them all, let alone each other. It's the details of decentralization for a few years and someone's guidance.
You must know that in Yedu, if you send a famous post to visit Gaomen, as long as the host is willing to see it, if you can say a few words, you can claim that you are the "student" of the other party when you walk out the door, and you will call the teacher when you meet. Moreover, after the year of Xiande, the Hua and Pan parties caused chaos and chaos in the court, and there were countless lackeys under their command.
"Ding Tao," Xiao Chiye was silent for a moment, "you come in."
Ding Tao appeared anxiously, was frightened by Xiao Chiye's expression, and walked in hand in hand. Everyone in the room looked at Ding Tao. He opened his eyes and wanted to look at Shen Zechuan, but he didn't dare.
Xiao Chiye was not in a hurry, he moved his arm slightly and asked Ding Tao, "Do you still remember the name 'Peng Fangmiao'?"
Ding Tao shook his head blankly.
Outside, Qiao Tianya had an idea and suddenly said, "Peach, this person should be on the reference list of the Ministry of Personnel after four years of Xiande. Think about it again, Hua Siqian, Wei Huaigu, and even Pan Rugui."
In the fourth year of Xiande, the Biansha cavalry slaughtered the city, and the remaining people in Dengzhou were the Tantai Tigers and the others, who were incorporated into the forbidden army by Xiao Chiye, and the original state capital of Dengzhou also died in the massacre. Peng Fangmiao can only be An official sent by Xiande four years later.
In addition to being able to write, Ding Tao's memory is also quite amazing. His family's notebook is modeled after Jin Yiwei's listening and writing. Ding Tao was familiar with him when he followed his father. When he was in Yedu, Qiao Tianya once visited Libei Wangfu at night, but was blocked by Ding Tao and Gujin. At that time, the hidden weapon Ding Tao threw out could tell the calendar at a glance, so Qiao Tianya still remembers it fresh.
Ding Tao took out the small notebook and was silent in the sound of "crashing" page turning.
When Yu Xiao saw it again, he also recalled it, and said unconsciously, "We are all censors..."
Ding Tao's eyes suddenly lit up, he stuck the page, and said, "Du Chayuan! Yes, Duchayuan! Young master," Ding Tao looked at Shen Zechuan as if appreciative, "Qiedu committed an assassination! At that time, Jinyiwei Pang Zuo Du Chayuan wants to investigate the master, and there was a person surnamed Fu at that time, and it was him!"
Fourier.
Of course Shen Zechuan remembered the assassination case. During that investigation, he noticed the problem of Quanchengsi. At that time, it was Fu Linye, who was the censor of Youdu, who was arrogant to search the Libei Palace.
Yu Xiao slapped his thigh again and even stood up. He laughed angrily at himself, and he confronted Ding Tao and said, "Then I also remembered it, Fu Jun, before Fu Linye committed the assassination, everyone thought he was a lowly official! Because of Fu Linye, the second master suffered at that time. He, the grandson of a turtle, got together with Wei Huaigu long ago!"
Four years later, Xiande was in a competition between the noble family and the poor family. At that time, Hua Siqian was in charge of the cabinet, and the Queen Mother and Pan Rugui were helping each other. Hai Liangyi could only rely on the participation of the Supreme Court to prevent Hua and Pan's minions from running rampant. At that time, he acted like a dog, and had considerable influence on Hai Liangyi and other underprivileged officials in the consideration of the Ministry of Household reference list.
"If Fu Linye put Peng Fangmiao in Dengzhou," Shen Zechuan paused for a moment, "then Wei Huaigu and even Xi Hongxuan might be 'he'."
