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

"Someone! Somebody!"

Following Zhang Yong's call, several yamen servants thought that the mansion was coming at this moment, so they rushed in immediately.

"Go! Send this treasure to the Zhao Mansion, tell the county magistrate, let him find someone to identify the authenticity, go!"

Seeing that his master was so irritable, the yamen servant didn't dare to be negligent, took the jade carefully, and ran towards Zhao's mansion quickly!

Zhang Yong sat slumped on the chair, staring fixedly at the southeast, muttering something incessantly.

……

Inside Yang Zhao's courtyard.

Yang Zhao half-closed his eyes, lying on a cool chair, Xu Maogong lay on the other side, and a small square wooden table was placed between them.

The two of them picked up the teacups from time to time, sipping tea leisurely, with a slight smile on the corners of their mouths.

Li Cunxiao didn't want to participate in these brainstorming meetings, so he led Mo Daojun to practice.

Mu Guiying went out shopping with a few maidservants, which was allowed by Yang Zhao, after all, she was a girl, so it was fine if she was free.

He ordered the female sword servants to take turns to go shopping. This proposal made the female sword servants very happy, and the service was more thoughtful.

Pei Ju squatted on the ground bored, looking at Yang Zhao and Xu Maogong's leisurely look, his eyes lit up.

If only I could have a cool chair... He thought silently.

Yu Shiji was the only one who was interested in visiting Zhang Yong today, sitting diagonally across from Yang Zhao, looked at Xu Maogong and calmly analyzed:

"Judging from Zhang Yong's attitude today, he must be the same as Zhao Jian, which further confirms our thinking."

"But there is a strange point. This person seems to be testing us intentionally or unintentionally, with malicious intentions. Could it be that he was discovered?"

Facing Yu Shiji's seriousness and positivity, Yang Zhao didn't move, still maintaining a comfortable posture.

Xu Maogong opened his eyes slightly, and said with a smile:

"If we are discovered, Your Majesty and I will not be in this state."

Seeing that Xu Maogong was about to get up, Pei Ju immediately tensed up and leaned forward slightly, but when he found that the latter was just changing his posture, Pei Ju gasped again and continued to squat under the tree.

Yu Shiji nodded, he also noticed this, and asked along the way: "Xu Gong, did you find anything?"

He came out this time to study hard, Mr. Xu has been dismissed, and he will not be seen in the court in the future, and the opportunity will be used once.

Xu Maogong didn't find Yu Shiji annoying. It's rare to have such a studious young man.

He is also willing to share that in the future, having more capable ministers beside His Majesty can also relieve some pressure.

Thinking of this, Xu Maogong explained: "What is certain is that Zhang Yong and Zhao Jian must be in the same group. As for the relationship, I don't know, but I can feel that it is unusual."

"Judging from today's demeanor, he has been observing us, and exposed intentional or unintentional temptations, which also shows that Zhao Jian went to his house last night and expected that we would go to the government office today."

Yu Shiji was shocked: "He's spying on us?"

Xu Maogong shook his head slowly, and said: "He accepted the gift from the young master because of the value of the gift itself. The struggle he showed in the process of accepting it and the later remorse just showed that our identities were not exposed!"

Yu Shiji recalled it, he didn't notice Zhang Yong's subtle expression before, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that he really is!

Chapter 408

For a moment, he lamented that Xu Maogong was observant, and at the same time reflected in his heart that he still had a lot to learn.

Xu Maogong gave Yu Shiji a time to think, bowed his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a tone of examination: "Do you know now?"

Yu Shiji frowned, which was his signature gesture, expressing his inner caution.

"That is to say, he mistakenly thought that we were Fan He's people in order to test them, so he was so cautious?"

Xu Maogong smiled and nodded, and Pei Ju under the tree next to him heard the words and said, "If this is the case, aren't we being targeted by them?"

Although the identity has not been exposed, in the other party's heart, the relationship has become hostile. With a defensive mind, it will be more difficult to solve the murder case.

Yu Shiji wanted to agree, but then shook his head, glanced at Pei Ju and said, "It may not be a bad thing, but it may also be an opportunity to learn more information."

The first idea in his mind was to use the whole relationship to analyze more things from the other party's attitude, which would help them understand the case clearly, just that they still lacked an identity to participate in it.

"Indeed, that's why we plan to use our tricks." Yang Zhao, who had been silent all this time, said calmly at this moment.

Xu Maogong chuckled: "Since they mistook us as Fan He's helpers, it's better to be a good person to the end."

Just plan...Yu Shiji was slightly taken aback, this idea was too bold.

In his opinion, only Zhao Jian misunderstood them as Fan He's people, but Fan He didn't know, if the two sides met, their identities would be doubted.

Intentionally participating in it, since Zhao Jian can have court officials as backers, take some time to investigate, and the identities of several people are ready to be revealed.

Once exposed, the private visit on Weibo will have to end early.

Yu Shiji's expression couldn't escape Yang Zhao's eyes, and the latter chuckled lightly: "You are too worried, they won't find out our identities."

……

Zhao Mansion, inner courtyard.

"My lord, this treasure is rare. Both the raw material and the craftsmanship belong to the upper class. I can see jade in this life, and I will die without regret!"

An old man excitedly looked at the jade cup on the table, it was the jade cup presented to Zhang Yong by Yang Zhao.

Zhao Jian put the jade cup in his hand to play with, but without the slightest smile on his face, he hummed and waved his hand.

The servant behind him understood, gave the old man a large sum of silver, sent it out, and asked him to keep the matter quiet.

Although the old man was reluctant to part with him, he also knew that Zhao Jian was not something he could afford. Looking at the money in his arms, he left contentedly.

"Even Mr. Hu said so, this thing is undoubtedly genuine." Sitting opposite, Wang Chao picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, and said calmly.

Zhao Jian put down the jade cup, looked at it intently for a moment, and waved to the yamen servant: "Go back and tell Mr. Zhang that this thing is not fake, so there is no need to worry."

The yamen servant took it respectfully, and hurriedly ran away in the direction it came from.

"Hey, I thought he was so noble. Didn't he just accept the gift and laugh at fifty steps!" Looking at the background of the yamen servant going away, Wang Chao sneered, then looked back at Zhao Jian and asked, "What do you mean? Mr. Yang, is there really a problem?"

Zhao Jian pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It shouldn't be. If it's Fan He's people, even if they come to target us, they don't need to spend so much trouble."

Wang Chao was obviously relieved, looked at Zhao Jian's still dignified face, and asked suspiciously: "Since it's not, then what are you worried about?"

……

"If it's not Fan He's person, then what is his purpose? I'm really thinking too much?"

Zhang Yong stood in front of the desk, holding a jade cup in his hand, frowning.

Just now, the yamen servant came back and relayed Zhao Jian's words, but he felt uneasy instead.

He had suddenly thought before that if this jade cup was real, it meant that Yang Zhao was not from Fan He, and it was really unnecessary to send such a precious jade for a small sheriff.

If this is the case, then Fan He hid it too deeply, and he admits it.

But the unknown is what he fears the most. It seems that Mr. Yang is really only here for business, but for some reason, he always feels something is wrong.

Whether it's the feeling when communicating or the sharpness in the eyes, it shouldn't appear on a son of an aristocratic family.

Runan is too far away from here, and it is very difficult to verify the identity, which makes Zhang Yong fearful.

At the most critical moment, it is not a good thing for Mr. Yang to come out.

……

"It's also simple. It's not enough to send someone to watch. From my point of view, there is a high probability that he is here to do business. You are completely overthinking."

Wang Chao felt a headache when he heard Zhao Jian's analysis. Anyway, he didn't feel any malice from Yang Zhao.

If it is to deal with them, why give away such a treasure that is hard to find in the world?

This time, Zhao Jian rarely refuted Wang Chao, nodded and said: "This is indeed a good way."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a pen and wrote a note, handed it to the guard at the side and said: "Send it to Lingluofang."

……

As the sun set, Yang Zhao and the others chatted and rested in the courtyard after dinner, feeling extremely comfortable.

Only Yu Shiji echoed a few words absently.

All afternoon, Yang Zhao never told him what the specific plan was, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Just leave one sentence at night and you will know.

It's as if you have a big table in front of you but you can't eat it. You have to wait until the specified time is up before you can move your chopsticks.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yu Shiji was the first to interrupt the chat of several people: "My lord, it's getting dark!"

The atmosphere was interrupted, Pei Ju frowned, and looked at Yu Shiji unhappily.

The latter had no time to talk to him at all, and Xu Maogong looked at Yang Zhao silently.

"Well, it's time, you stay in the yard, Cun Xiao, you come with me."

Li Cunxiao nodded, followed Yang Zhao and disappeared into the darkness.

Yu Shiji made a false grasp with one hand, with tears in his eyes, and he promised to tell me in the evening!

Yang Zhao didn't go through the main entrance, but jumped up and stood on the roof, looking down at several dark places.

Li Cunxiao followed behind without moving an inch, and said in a deep voice, "We are being targeted."

Being sharp, he clearly sensed that there were people hiding in those places, and judging from his steady breathing, he was still a master.

Yang Zhao didn't care at all, as if everything was expected, took a deep look, turned and walked towards Fan Zhaifei.

The two quietly came to the roof where Li Cunxiao stayed last time, Yang Zhao lifted the tiles, and it was pitch black inside, it seemed that the owner hadn't returned to the room.

"You stay outside and get rid of those guards."

"Yes!"

Li Cunxiao's body was like a swallow, and his back immediately melted into the darkness.

Yang Zhao's eyes were slightly fixed, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly. He jumped into the room.

Chapter 409 As long as you are obedient, you can survive

After Fan He finished drinking, he stumbled and pushed open the door of the room with the support of a young woman.

"Slow down, drink so much, now is the time for them to watch, what if they want to assassinate you!"

The woman's coquettish voice caught his ears, and Fan He waved his hand impatiently.

"Go, go, woman, what are you worrying about? With my uncle protecting him, how dare he? It's pitch dark, light the lamp!"

The woman glanced helplessly, turned around and touched the table by the moonlight, and lit the candle!

"Ah~!"

After lighting up for a moment, accompanied by a scream, Fan He, who didn't know why, was furious:

"What are you shouting about! It's so noisy, why don't you come over and help me!"

After a while, Fan He, who hadn't sensed any movement, raised his head, opened his blurred eyes slightly, and found that the woman was still standing there in a daze, and his face turned furious.

He quickened his pace, stepped forward unsteadily and put his hands on the woman's shoulders, just as he was about to reprimand Wu, he caught a glimpse of the flickering cold light on the woman's neck.

It was a sharp blade, touching the woman's snow-white neck, it could easily cut her throat with just a little force.

At this time, the woman's pupils shrank sharply, her eyes widened, and she stared blankly in front of her eyes, as if the scene she saw made her forget her fear.

Fan He looked forward along the edge of the blade, his brain buzzed suddenly, he stepped back two steps, pointed at Yang Zhao with trembling fingers, his lips trembled slightly, and was speechless for a long time.

It was as if someone had strangled his neck, unable to make a sound.

It was an expression of shock and fear to the extreme.

Father!

Fan He stared intently at the face of the man in front of him. This was his father, Fan Rong, who had been dead for many days!

No...impossible!

"You...you are dead, I saw with my own eyes, who are you! Who are you!"

In the middle of speaking, Fan He realized that his father was already a dead man who couldn't die anymore.

This man is playing tricks!
