Xiao Qinghuan

Mr. Jiang's thick skin is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Yan Qing was blushed by him, and wished to invite him out of the house immediately, but it is a pity that Mr. Yan just did something bad last night. It is a time of guilty conscience, so how can you dare to act casually? provoke him.

Yan Qing coughed lightly, trying to distract the words just now: "Just now Jiang Mo said, did you find someone to check Luo Suifeng?"

Jiang Xiaohan knew that he was thin-skinned, and he would be anxious if he got too much fun, so he simply went down the steps: "Yes, I originally thought that the things he took away were at most things like enclosing land or accepting bribes. It’s just a few account books. There are ways to bring down Wen Zui, so don’t be obsessed with it. But later I found that someone couldn’t sit still and wanted to take care of Wen Zui in Pingjiang’s government office in front of me. At that time, I felt something was wrong .I was thinking at the time, whether this thing is not just Wen Zui's handle."

"Do you think that Wen Zui is just a scapegoat?" Yan Qing immediately understood: "The timing of him falling into your hands is too coincidental, it just happened to be after you lost something. So the people behind the scenes are not sure if there is anything in it Your handwriting, so the strong man cut off his wrist, and Wen Zui ended up, so you can't continue to investigate."

"I sent someone to follow up, but the other party swaggered back to Jiangning Mansion. It seemed that he was not afraid that I would find Song Yongsi." Jiang Xiaohan talked about the business, and put away the sloppy virtue just now. He rubbed the copper in his hand. Qiu Qiu thought for a while and said, "I think they must have discovered that I don't have anything real in my hand."

"They determined so quickly, there must be some basis for it." Yan Qing said with a stern expression, "You have not yet taken sides in Beijing and China, and you have not responded to any side's overtures, so in the eyes of others, you are still loyal to only one person today. This It means that this thing is not just an ordinary strife, this thing must be very important, the relationship is very important, so long as you find out that you didn't report it to Beijing in the first place, you can be sure that you don't have any key things in your hands."

"I think so too." Jiang Xiaohan said, "I was careless."

"You already have someone in mind." Yan Qing looked at him.

Jiang Xiaohan nodded: "Song Yongsi never has such courage, and it is impossible for him to get involved in such a big relationship, so there is only one person left."

"People from Beijing." Jiang Xiaohan said in a deep voice.

"But I don't understand. His Highness the Fourth Prince is already a favorable candidate for the crown prince. Now he only needs to cherish his feathers, restrain his edge, and concentrate on current affairs and political affairs." Yan Qing said: "Even if the Third Prince is defeated, he will be Why is he still tossing around in Pingjiang when he is a sure candidate for the crown prince?"

Jiang Xiaohan shook his head: "This is also what I don't understand. I always feel that there is something else in this matter that I don't know."

"So you want to follow the wind?" Yan Qing asked.

"I suspect that even the people behind Luo Suifeng don't know that he stole such a terrible thing, otherwise there will be no rumors at this time. Moreover, the officials in the court and the central government don't know the people in the Jianghu. It may be a coincidence. Such an opportunity, so I just wanted to ask Luo Suifeng to find some excuses for Wen Zui at random, but he didn't expect him to hit him by mistake and pull out something beside him." Jiang Xiaohan sighed: "Speaking of this, in fact, the more I I feel more and more that His Majesty asked me to go out of Beijing to inspect the two rivers, not just for obvious reasons... I thought that His Majesty asked me to inspect the virtues of these two officials of the frontiers, and then confirm the candidate for the heir in Beijing. But looking at it now Come on, this inspection seems to have another meaning."

As Jiang Xiaohan said, he picked and picked among the copper balls in his hand, picked out a copper ball engraved with cloud patterns and pinched it open vigorously, and took out the paper ball from the copper ball.

He scanned the words on the note at a glance, and couldn't help but sneered: "It's true."

"Ok?"

Jiang Xiaohan's subordinates in charge of intelligence are all trained by Jiang Ying, and they are all skilled in stealth and assassination. Although Luo Suifeng's martial arts master's whereabouts are strange, Jiang Xiaohan's people have also got the news all over the place these days.

Yan Qing glanced at the note and asked in surprise, "Snake bone?"

"Exactly." Jiang Xiaohan pointed at the note with his finger: "He Liuyun just got a whole pair of snake bones a month ago. I heard that the snake bones are thirty feet long and can be coiled three times in a wooden box. And that pair The whole body of the snake bone is neat and shiny, it is a treasure."

Jiang Xiaohan bent down to put on his shoes and socks, and said casually, "I remember you told me that Luo Suifeng was raised by a boa constrictor in the mountains since he was a child. I think it's probably this snake."

Yan Qing didn't quite agree: "But when Luo Suifeng was picked up by his master back then, his master also brought the snake back to the villa to show his gratitude. The year before last, Luo Suifeng's master passed away, and Liuguang Villa All of them belonged to Luo Suifeng. That being the case, if this is really that snake, Luo Suifeng must treasure it, so why would it appear in He Liuyun's hands again."

Jiang Xiaohan smiled: "That's it."

Seeing that Yan Qing was still puzzled, Jiang Xiaohan shook his head, stood up with a smile, and took out a roll of maps from the luggage outside.

The map was made of sheepskin, and it was drawn very delicately. Yan Qing scanned it roughly and found that it was not only the terrain along the two rivers, it even extended from Jiujiang Mansion to the capital.

"This……?"

Jiang Xiaohan spread the map on his knees and pointed it out to him: "The location of Liuguang Villa is in Luzhou, and He Liuyun is in charge of the Huainan area, and he is also considered a big official. Ah Qing, you Jianghu people may not know something—three years In Qingzhi County, one hundred thousand snowflake silver is not called for nothing."

As he said, he swipe the map with his fingertips: "The prefectures, counties, and even townships under each prefecture will regularly collect rare and rare treasures for offering. Some of these things will be offered to Beijing, but other In addition, there are some that are dedicated to the local governor."

Jiang Xiaohan paused: "Privately known as 'shanggong'."

Yan Qing frowned: "Isn't this just accepting bribes?"

"Every fiefdom and state government presents birthday gifts to His Majesty at the Longevity Banquet every year. If the birthday gift of any government gets favored, this year will be much better, and it may even be exempted from taxes this year." Jiang Xiaohan said: " Therefore, compared with these prefects who have no worries about food and drink, the magistrates or county magistrates under their subordinates are more willing to offer treasures to win the well-being of one party. Therefore, they will also prepare a share for the local prefects, hoping that when Wanshou comes to Beijing, he can Say more good things. That’s why the level-by-level offerings are also called the “ladder to heaven” by local officials.”

In fact, even if Jiang Xiaohan didn't say this, Yan Qing could understand it after thinking about it. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. How could there be no dark things in this vast territory.

Seeing that his face was not very ugly, Jiang Xiaohan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the 'way of being an official', and it is common sense that you don't know."

Yan Qing asked: "So you're saying that the snake bones were collected by the prefectures and counties below and 'offered' to He Liuyun?"

"Ba丨Nine is not far from ten. Luo Suifeng is a rigid person, and he doesn't know the ways of the world. I am afraid that after knowing this, he will go to the door and ask for it." Jiang Xiaohan said with a sneer, as if recalling the previous confrontation with others in the Pingjiang Mansion. : "I don't need to think about it, the scene is definitely not good."

Yan Qing couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Based on what he knew about Luo Suifeng, it was possible for this man to break into He Liuyun's bedroom with a sword in his hand and ask for something.

Jiang Xiaohan said again: "He Liuyun is different from Wen Zui. He Liuyun is cautious and scheming. Even I have to be cautious when dealing with him. Luo Suifeng must have been entangled by him with a few words before agreeing to replace him. To do something, to exchange for that pair of snake bones."

"Then what to do now, this thing is in the hands of He Liuyun, even if you find Luo Suifeng, he will definitely not give it to you." Yan Qing pursed her lips: "It seems that the only way is to get the snake bone first Only then can we talk to Luo Suifeng."

Yan Qing said, with a troubled look on his face: "...It seems that the only thing to do is rob it."

He thought very simply, since Luo Suifeng only has one weakness, as long as he grasps this weakness, he can say anything.Although Yan Qing didn't want to do these things, he also knew that there were some things he had to do. If they were allowed to stir up trouble for no reason, the court would be in turmoil and the country would be in danger.

Yan Qing finally managed to make a good psychological achievement, but saw Jiang Xiaohan's face was inexplicable: "Why do you want to rob?"

"Then... are you going to send someone to steal it?" Yan Qing was stunned.

Only then did Jiang Xiaohan understand what he meant, he burst out laughing, and raised his voice, "Jiang Ying!"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Ying pushed the door and entered, Jiang Xiaohan put away the map, and told him: "Go out and release the news, saying that I was seriously ill in Pingjiang City. Although I have recovered now, my body is damaged, and I need a hundred-year-old snake bone. Soak in wine to nourish yourself."

Jiang Ying left at the sound.

Jiang Xiaohan turned his head and spread his hands to Yan Qing with a smile: "Look."

Yan Qing: "..."

How could he have forgotten that the one-man Zuo Xiang lord sitting in front of him was probably the last step of the so-called "ladder of heaven".

Jiang Xiaohan rerolled the map: "Now we just have to wait in Pingjiang."

Yan Qing was still a little worried: "The snake bone can handle Luo Suifeng, will he give it to you easily?"

"Ah Qing, Luo Suifeng is a figure in the eyes of the Jianghu people and needs to be treated with respect, but to He Liuyun, he is just a dispensable thug." Jiang Xiaohan stood up as he spoke, put his coat on his body, Then he took off his belt from the hanger at the side: "For court battles, force is the most inferior method. In addition, I have never accepted this kind of filial piety in Beijing. He Liuyun knows it well. When he gets this kind of opportunity, he can't wait to jump up." .”

"What's more, I just cooked Wen Zui in Pingjiang, which can be considered as a help to the Third Highness. He is trying to win me over now, so he won't miss this opportunity. He Liuyun won't be reluctant to part with mere snake bones."

As Jiang Xiaohan said, he fastened his belt, took a look at the jade pendant on the rack, and then put it back. He casually picked a new Lantian jade talisman from his outer bag and hung it on his waist.

"Why don't you bring your jade pendant?" Yan Qing asked.

"Leave it to you." Jiang Xiaohan said as he straightened Yan Qing's coat on the hanger, folded his belt and put it under his head, and pressed it with a jade pendant.

"You walk every day to contact your subordinates, or do you take it back—"

"Shh-"

Jiang Xiaohan made a silent gesture to him, dressed neatly and walked back to the bedside: "I don't need a token to contact my subordinates, I'm here right now, how about a jade pendant?"

"What's more, I don't have anything, so this is the only thing I can afford." He smiled, lowered his body, and leaned close to Yan Qing's ear: "...If you take it, it's considered a token of love. "

After he finished speaking, regardless of whether Yan Qing objected or not, he involuntarily took away the medical book in Yan Qing's hand, forced him to lie down and stuffed him back into the quilt: "Okay, I haven't settled with you for what happened last night, you should rest well and wait a while." Afterwards, I will ask Senior Ren to feel your pulse."
