Sui and Tang Dynasties: Engagement to Li Xiuning, start with heavy snow dragon ride

Yu Shiji listened intently, and Xu Maogong continued: "In the second message, the officials of the DPRK and China thought they had found out the other party's background, and it was nothing to worry about, and they said hello, and the county government here also compromised, but I don't know why, suddenly Something has changed, and I think the biggest possibility is on Zhao Jianjian."

Several people looked at Yang Zhao and saw that he did not refute. It seemed that Xu Maogong's analysis was reasonable.

Chapter 406 Visiting Sheriff Zhang Yong

"This action angered Fan He. It is very likely that Zhao Jian made very excessive demands. Fan He began to add notes to the officials of the DPRK and China, so there was a fourth letter."

It's just that the last letter has the least amount of information, but has two contradictory words.

"After careful investigation by the officials of the DPRK and China, they found that the other party's background was a bit tricky, and he was no longer able to complete it alone. The final and reassuring thing should be that Fan He's remark in the third letter made him choose to move out of his backer. "

After Xu Maogong finished his last sentence, even Pei Ju's eyes widened and he quickly looked at Yang Zhao's expression.

Can this really be said?

Is it really okay for officials of the DPRK and China to have a backer who speaks out in front of His Majesty so unabashedly?

Yu Shiji stared at Yang Zhao nervously, for fear that he would get angry.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhao was very calm, and simply nodded: "It's not as good as my analysis, and this can further confirm my guess. It's not as simple as Zhang Yong who can shake the sixth rank of Chaozhong. There are people behind it."

One sentence exploded like a cannonball in the hearts of everyone.

humming.

The reason he thinks it is reasonable is because he thinks that Zhao Jian's last reliance is Zhang Yong, and only the fourth-rank sheriff can suppress the sixth-rank official.

When Yu Shiji put forward this hypothesis, it was already very bold, but Yang Zhao's answer was even more shocking.

Who else could that be?

Involuntarily, Yu Shiji already had an answer in his heart.

The only ones who can deal with the imperial court are those in the imperial court. Does Zhao Jian still have a background in the imperial court?

He silently looked at Xu Maogong, who gave him a positive look.

The meaning seems to say, you are not wrong, it is what you think.

But the current clues can't infer who supports Zhao Jian in the court, but Yu Shiji has a plan in mind, and if he can let that sixth-ranker say something with peace of mind, it means that it can be settled.

The grade should not be too high.

"I remember the governor of Yangzhou, named Wen Qi, right?" Yang Zhao suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked Xu Maogong.

The latter nodded and replied, "That's right, Your Majesty, do you have doubts about him too?"

Yu Shiji also looked over curiously, what is the relationship between Wen Qineng and Zhao Jian?

The governor and the county guard are both fourth grades. The difference between the two is that the county guard handles government affairs, while the governor supervises the county guard.

Yang Zhao said indifferently: "I was thinking, since the county guard can shield the county magistrate and the county magistrate, as the governor, why didn't he respond at all?"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Shiji realized that he propped his chin with both hands, and his heart was a little shaken.

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Officials have been involved in this murder case. As the governor, it is impossible not to know about it.

If Fan He broke out, the county guard could suppress it and keep the court from knowing, but he couldn't hide it from the governor.

What is the relationship between Wen Qi and Zhao Jian?

Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Zhao's voice came again: "There are only two possibilities. The first one is that Fan He has no plans to die, and he didn't make a fuss, and the governor will not be involved."

"The second is that the governor and Zhao Jian also have an ulterior relationship."

Among the two possibilities, everyone present felt that the first possibility was more likely. After all, according to Fan He's message, his relatives were still capable of solving it.

So there's no need to make a big fuss, and it's normal for the governor not to know.

Moreover, the governor is not in Yuhang, but in Gusu City.

The county guard has the ability to suppress this matter in Yuhang County and not spread it.

Mr. Xu Mao had meant something between his words. Since Yang Zhao said such a thing, it showed that in his heart, the governor of Yangzhou was also the object of suspicion.

If this is the case, Xu Maogong can think of the anger in Yang Zhao's heart.

Yangzhou is Zhao Jian's people from top to bottom.

A small county magistrate, controlling the entire officialdom in Yangzhou?

How arrogant?

What's the difference between this and those noble families?

At this time, Yang Zhao remained silent after finishing speaking. He didn't think so, it involved Li Shimin's rebellion.

The governor of Yangzhou must also be in his plan.

In any case, the two must have met.

Judging from Wen Qi's failure to inform the imperial court about this matter, it is likely that he has a heart of compassion.

Even if there is no consent, it is still wandering.

……

On the next day, Yang Zhao brought Xu Maogong and others to the front of the government office, and did the same.

The difference this time is that the process went very smoothly.

The guards didn't even ask why, nor did they accept bribes, they just went in to report.

The time to come and go is also very fast.

In the inner hall of the government office, Yang Zhao met Zhang Yong.

This is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with good facial features and a well-proportioned body, with a sense of power without anger.

If he hadn't known in advance that this person was related to Zhao Jian, Yang Zhao would have thought that he was a good and honest official.

In terms of attitude, there is still an essential difference between him and Wang Chao.

After all, he is a fourth-rank official, so he doesn't smile when he speaks.

"I've heard from the county magistrate a long time ago that a young man with both talents and looks came to Yuhang County recently, and he specially recommended it to me yesterday. When I saw him today, he really looks very handsome."

Although Zhang Yong was complimenting others, his face was still serious without a smile on his face. He could only tell from his gentle tone that he was indeed complimenting others.

This sentence also explained why he could easily see the sheriff.

Zhang Yong and the others completely regarded Yang Zhao as a young man with no special status, and after currying favor with the county magistrate, the next target was naturally the sheriff.

It was recommended by the county magistrate and sheriff, and it was within the normal range.

A smile appeared on Yang Zhao's face, and he put away the folding fan in his hand: "It is said that Mr. Zhang is ruthless, and solves cases like a god. I heard Mr. Wang often mention it in the county government yesterday. When I saw it today, it is true!"

Yang Zhao used the same routine, and praised it generously. Zhang Yong knew this set of words from Wang Chao a long time ago, so he was not surprised.

But Zhang Yong looked at the three people around Yang Zhao from time to time.

I affirmed Wang Chao's judgment in my heart, and these people really were not the ones to wait for.

He was able to become a fourth-rank official because he had a pair of sharp eyes that could detect words and colors.

Zhang Yong's feeling was stronger than Wang Chao's. I don't know if it was a hallucination, but when he met the eyes of one of the old men, he felt oppressed.

Sense of oppression from superiors.

"That kid from the Fan family really found someone from the imperial court?" Zhang Yong unconsciously had such thoughts in his heart.

Yes, ever since Yang Zhao came, he had a premonition that this was Fan He's rescuer.

Before meeting Yang Zhao, he was just skeptical.

When Wang Chao was discussing with him yesterday, he also said the same thing, but when he saw it today, he had a rough judgment in his heart.

I just don't know which adult in the court this is, and what price that kid Fan He paid.

"I heard that Mr. Yang is here to do business. The silk and satin in Yuhang is indeed the best in the world. If the family can't find it, I can recommend one or two."

Chapter 407 I'm So Cheap

Thinking of this, Zhang Yong changed the subject and had a plan in his mind.

Yang Zhao put on a look of being flattered, and said happily, "Thank you, sir! I came here in a hurry this time, I didn't expect you to help me so much, and I have nothing to thank you for. I'm so humble, please don't dislike me."

As he spoke, Pei Ju behind Yang Zhao stepped forward with a wooden box in both hands.

The yamen servant next to Zhang Yong took it and opened the wooden box, inside was a jade cup with a gold inlaid mouth.

The cup body is round, with flat feet, and the rim is inlaid with gold. The whole body is smooth without grain, and the shape is concise.

But the polishing is fine and smooth, the workmanship is exquisite, and it is quite luxurious. At first sight, it is a rare jade treasure.

Zhang Yong originally wanted to refuse, but he had already thought about it last night.

But when he really faced the gift from Yang Zhao, he couldn't look away anymore.

Having been an official for so many years, I still have this insight.

Whether it is a good thing, you can tell at a glance.

Immediately Zhang Yong froze on the spot, his face flushed slightly, his hand stopped in mid-air, he didn't take it, and he felt sorry if he didn't.

Last night he scolded Wang Chao angrily for not being able to hold back the bottom line, and accepting gifts as soon as they meet. Didn't he tell people clearly that you are a corrupt official?

If this is someone from the court, he will suffer a big loss if he goes back to impeach him.

His Majesty has just cleared out the elites of the gentry, and what he hates the most are corrupt officials. If someone with a heart knows, it is equivalent to handing over the handle to the other party.

Zhang Yong tried very hard to look away, but he couldn't control it. Now he understood what Wang Chao was thinking at that time.

It's hard not to say no!

"My lord, just accept it, it's a little bit of my heart, such a famous artifact, it's a waste of money to put it in my hands."

Seeing this, Yang Zhao quickly stepped forward to make up the knife, Zhang Yong was shaken, and he put the jade cup in his hands tremblingly to look at it.

A rare knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Then... I will be disrespectful!" Zhang Yong didn't even bother to say the word "my official", for fear that Yang Zhao would take it back.

Reluctantly putting the jade cup into the box, she regained her usual demeanor, but compared with it, it was a little more gentle.

Facing Yang Zhao, he could no longer keep a straight face.

Reasonably, he couldn't do it.

"This is what an adult deserves. It's not enough for me to take care of me and introduce my family!" Yang Zhao showed a genuine smile on his face.

At this time, Zhang Yong was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it, and he began to wonder in his heart, whether he was too suspicious.

After another round of flattery, Zhang Yong personally sent Yang Zhao to the gate of the yamen, watched him leave before returning to the inner hall.

clap clap clap!

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Yong suddenly raised his hand and gave himself several resounding slaps.

"What a fool, what a fool!"

Zhang Yong looked at his hands with regret, how cheap I am!

Why can't I hold back!

Knowing that the other party did it on purpose, he couldn't hold back after all!

Zhang Yong, who had calmed down at this moment, had a frosty face, and he felt panic in his heart.

Fan He's matter is not over yet, he has fought against Fan He's relative a long time ago, a sixth rank, he is still not afraid at all.

It's just that the other party still has a bargaining chip, and the most fearful thing now is that the other party is playing dirty tricks.

Just at this time, Yang Zhao came and found Wang Chao involuntarily, and presented such a heavy gift when they met.

Then he came to see him, and it was still the same routine. If Yang Zhao was Fan He's man, then he would be finished!

Ok?

wrong!

Suddenly, Zhang Yong seemed to think of something, and immediately took out the jade sent by Yang Zhao and placed it in front of him for a closer look.
