Rebirth's ultimate stand-in

Things are going well in Qinzhou.At least in Zhen Yi's view, he acted according to his own will.Although the brothers of the Su family were dissatisfied with each other, they were forced to let it go due to public outrage.

The Jinhuai gang was disintegrated, Xiaoyizhuang elected the gang that had been prepared long ago to take over the water transport, and the claws of Tulongbao failed to be placed in Qinzhou.As for Hidden Sword Villa, Xiaoyi Village was also unambiguous, and almost all dispatched to block the claws of Hidden Sword Villa within Qinshan Mountain.

The rest is the negotiation and compromise between the Su family and the Zhen family.

Su Ning felt a sense of fighting alone.But even so, the Su family brothers were still neither humble nor overbearing, nor panicked, and methodically straightened out the bad governance of the entire Qinzhou, and put it in front of Zhen Yi and the state shepherd Zhen Shizhao.

"Although you can push all this mess to Marquis Xiping this time, it won't be so easy next time." Su Qi couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, simply stating a fact.

Zhen Yi just smiled and said nothing.

Zhen Shizhao couldn't help but say a few official words righteously, and at the same time sweat secretly.As the state shepherd of Qinzhou, he was in charge of inspecting officials. If Su Qi found out that the officials under his rule were secretly manufacturing weapons, his head would naturally be lost.Fortunately, all of this was carried by the unlucky Marquis Xiping.

It is not entirely true that they wronged Xipinghou.In fact, the Marquis of Xiping did privately entrust them to forge weapons every year.After all, the Marquis of Xiping has his own guards and has normal military consumption, but the amount he wants is quite different from the amount provided by Zhen's generosity.Both parties knew well that this was planning for the future, and it was also a hint of secretly recruiting troops.

The land under the jurisdiction of the Zhen family was originally one of the most important places for casting Taisho weapons and armor.It's easy for them to do it.Xiaoyizhuang only needs to modify the data mined by the quantity mine.However, Su Qi seized another secret account book and smashed the Jinhuai Gang. The water transport account book here is even more exciting.Every year, there are clear records of how many weapons the imperial court asked Qinzhou to cast and where they were shipped.How can it be possible not to pull down a group of "dereliction of duty" officials for the books other than this record.

The Zhen family didn't want to cause extra problems, but just in case, let Xiping, which borders Qinzhou, have a further in-depth connection, and it can also guarantee one more ally in the future.It's just that the ally failed and became their scapegoat, which is not a bad result.

All the little scapegoats who were held by Su Qi finally made a unified confession, accusing Xipinghou, and the person on the dragon chair wanted to catch Xipinghou's braids anyway, so it was considered a face for him.

When the dust settled here, Su Qisong let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks to Master Kuang for handling this case, I have already reported to the Holy One and promoted him to be the Supervisor of Ganhuai Waterway."

Censor, state shepherd, supervisor, although these three positions are very different in rank, but their responsibilities are not the same.It's just that the censor can inspect any place on behalf of the prince, the state shepherd is only in charge of the appointed directly under the jurisdiction, and the scope and power of the supervisor is even smaller.

Since the Ganhuai Waterway has such a problem, there is nothing wrong with setting up a supervisor.In Zhen Shizhao's view, this was a provocation to his state pastor.In the eyes of Zhen Yi, who knew Kuang Junan's identity, this was a good thing, at least it proved that Su Qi really believed in Kuang Junan.Then the few information Kuang Jun'an got from Su Qi was indeed reliable.And Kuang Jun'an will also be a pawn placed inside Su Qi from now on... This is very good.

"Today Kuang Jun'an will go back to Beijing with me to meet the saint!" Su Qi swept over Zhen Yi and Zhen Shizhao.Zhen Shizhao didn't know that Kuang Jun'an was Zhen Yi's confidant, so of course he was worried that such a person's reuse might endanger Zhen's interests, and he felt resentful.But seeing that Patriarch Zhen didn't even say anything superfluous, he didn't dare to gnaw in front of outsiders.

After the matter was over, Su Qi logically took Su Ning away.

Before going out, Su Ning cupped her hands at Zhen Yi, "This is the first time I have fallen into your hands! I will definitely give you a big gift in the future!"

Zhen Yi also cupped his hands, "Waiting for you anytime!"

The two enemies looked at each other and smiled brightly.

Su Qi lightly drove less and left Linchuan City that day.While still on the road, I heard Marquis Xiping committed suicide in fear of crime.Human death is the most important thing, the emperor thought that Marquis Xiping had made great contributions to the country, so he did not continue to investigate the matter of privately manufactured weapons, but let Feng Meng inherit the Marquis to revive Xiping.

The key to the combination of grace and power is that Feng Meng can be used by the imperial power.In order to wake up the world, Marquis Xiping was deprived of his military and political power, leaving a title vacant.

It was rare for Su Qi and Su Ning to rely on each other in the carriage and close their eyes to rest their minds, "The emperor really played a good game of chess, so Xipinghou has become his puppet!"

Su Qi couldn't help but pat Su Ning's back lightly, this subconscious action seemed to be coaxing a child to sleep, "If you don't have this ability, how can you sit on that dragon chair!"

"How does that brother plan to deal with this Kuang Jun'an?"

Su Qi pondered for a moment, "...he is a talent!"

Su Ning was startled suddenly, this elder brother obviously loves talents.

"Talents that cannot be used by me are formidable opponents! Brother, you don't want to confront such people in the future, do you?"

Su Qi opened his eyes, looked at Su Ning's shining eyes, and couldn't help rubbing his head, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I will get rid of him of course! But you, how do you know that he belongs to the Zhen family?" People?" Let me ask, he, Su Qi, searched for every detail, and if it wasn't for Su Ning's reminder, he would not be able to find out Kuang Jun'an's real backer if he deliberately probed.

Su Ning can't tell him that he experienced Kuang Jun'an's conspiracy in his previous life, right?

The Zhen family has never been involved in the imperial court's conspiracy, but this time it is different from the previous hundreds of years of style, maybe it was pushed by Chu Hanben, ready to usurp the throne and support a puppet or... simply replace it.

If Zhen Li was sovereign, it shouldn't be like this.So even if Zhen Li finds out the true mission of Zhen Ruizhen and his shoulders, he probably won't condone it.As for whether Zhen Li will be killed or kept for her own use, Su Ning is not sure.But one thing is certain, no matter whether Zhen Li is on the side of the Zhen family or on the side of Zhen Yi's opponent, Zhen Yi should not be allowed to usurp the throne.This undoubtedly pushed the Zhen family and himself to a dead end, and at the same time cut off the way out.

"That's my brother, I'm smart!"

Su Qi poked Su Ning on the forehead and pulled him into his arms. This is still a child, but he worries about life and death all the time.

"Go to sleep! You haven't closed your eyes properly in the past ten days!"

Su Ning is well-behaved, and naturally obediently sleeps on Su Qi's lap.

Su Qi raised the curtain slightly and looked outside.Qin Zhou was left behind by them step by step.Su Ning is worried that he is not without it.No matter how loving he is, he will not allow the existence that might threaten his family.But this Kuang Jun'an didn't find out any mistakes. How he can justify his name without arousing Zhen's suspicion and get rid of him is a difficult problem.

This is worrying, that day, they met an assassin.

The two carriages came one in front of the other, and a group of assassins killed the Su brothers, but only Kuang Jun'an died in the end.And the few corpses left at the end were undoubtedly Xiaoyizhuang.

At this moment, they happened to be on the border of Xiping, with the army called by Chuci as their escort, and the newly appointed Marquis of Xiping as their backing.Of course, the two people who were assassinated should not show up too much. It is only natural for Xiping Hou to take the blame and perform meritorious service and thoroughly investigate the matter.

When the news reached Zhen Yi's ears, all the members of the Zhen family were celebrating the departure of Su Qi, the God of Plague.The Su family brothers were assassinated, and they were happy to see it happen.It's a pity that Su Qi didn't die, only Kuang Jun'an died.

It also deserves that this Kuang Junan "seller begging for glory" will die a bad life.

The death of Kuang Jun'an made everyone in the Zhen family feel more at ease.Many people even suspected that the assassination of the Su brothers was the intention of the Patriarch Zhen.

Zhen Yi was furious.For the first time he realized something was wrong.Even if the Su family brothers wanted to use this to destroy Xiaoyi Village and take over the water transportation rights of the Ganhuai Waterway, why would they choose Kuang Jun'an to do it.

While he was thinking about it, there was another spy who reported that Zhen and Zhen Rui had disappeared.

Now Zhen Yi couldn't sit still.Heart pounding.Not bad, just these three people.It was as if someone had leaked the heavenly secret, trying to kill all his plans in the bud.

Zhen Yi thought about this result for a long time.Zhen He and Zhen Rui are his pawns secretly placed in Qinzhou, except for himself, almost no one knows his function.

Regardless of the low status of these two collateral sons in the clan, they are almost in charge of Qinzhou's weapon casting.At this critical point, the disappearance of these two people had to make him suspicious.

First, who would know these two chess pieces, and who would realize their importance.Even the identities of everyone who communicated with them were kept secret, and he believed that with the meticulousness of these two people, others would not be able to pry into their identities.

Second, although there are not many bright guards around them, there are many dark guards.There were even quite a few spies sent by Zhen Yi himself.How could he disappear under the noses of so many people?

Third, if their identities are really exposed, everything related to him will also be exposed.The two brothers of the Su family have been holding Qinzhou State Mu, and they are being monitored and suppressed by several officials in Linchuan County. There is also Kuang Jun'an who broke into the interior and pays attention to their actions all the time. They probably don't have time and energy.In fact, even if they wanted to check, it would be impossible to find anything.Therefore, this matter should not have been done by them.

So who else?

Zhen Yi knocked on the table, suddenly the figure of Duan Wang Chuci floated in his mind.

This man has given him too many surprises from the very beginning.King Duan has always been a side ignored by the world in the struggle for imperial power.

King Duan, who was supposed to be grounded in the capital, suddenly appeared in Qinzhou thousands of miles away. From this point of view, Chu Han's original intention may not be on Chu Xun.The promotion of Chu Xun, who has two great powers behind him, seems to be due to the situation, but in fact it is to let them relax their vigilance and let the two great powers fight among themselves.

In fact, although Zhen Shi and Liu Shi did not expose each other's shortcomings in the past three years, in order to control more power, what they exposed was often fatal.

Before that, Zhen's and Liu's took advantage of this shareholder wind to almost squeeze out Lu's interests and power, which can be regarded as eliminating a strong enemy for Chu Hanben.

Zhen Yi had expected that Chu Han would appoint Chu Xun as the prince, and his purpose was to target the three great powers.But it's a pity that the three great powers are used to watching the people on the throne through the cracks in the door.And three years ago, his status was still as low as dust, and he just watched this situation take shape.

If Chu Ci could be promoted to become the prince back then, the Liu family behind Chu Ci, and the queen's line who have always been good to Chu Ci, would naturally be pushed to the forefront.The Zhen family took the opportunity to do something, and the other two aristocratic families had already become their dishes. Not only did Chuci fail to sing, even the eldest prince would be jointly and severally liable, and the last one left was the one who could really ascend to the throne.

Chu Hanben's ingenuity lies in the fact that at the beginning of the battle for the crown prince, Chu Ci was eliminated from the battle for the crime of privately making the dragon robe.Later, he used this matter to ground the eldest prince Chu Ze. This was the effect of his words.In other words, when the time is right, Chu Ci and Chu Ze can make a comeback whenever they want.

The last remaining prince, Chu Xun, seemed to be what everyone expected, making the forces behind him ready to move, full of mistakes and omissions.In fact, it was the target of public criticism. The person on the dragon chair saw every mistake and omission in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and let his secret guards spy on Yushi one by one.

This time Su Qi came to Qinzhou to catch Zhen's lifeblood, does this mean that the one on the dragon chair is ready to catch the net?

But how did Zhen Rui, Zhen He, and Kuang Jun'an get exposed?Zhen Yi couldn't understand it.Just when he was about to blame all the problems on the person on the dragon chair, a letter was delivered to him.

It was Zhen Li's letter.The content is very simple.Zhen Rui and Zhen He were in his hands, and Zhen Yi was given three days. If he could rescue them, he would let them go. If not, the two of them would die without a whole body.

Zhen Yi let out a sigh of relief.At least, these two people are not in the hands of the old emperor.

But this game is getting more and more complicated.He would never have thought that the dying brother would do this to him behind his back.

When Zhen Yi left Linchuan, another earth-shaking change took place in Linchuan.

Xiaoyizhuang was punished for repeatedly assassinating court officials, and naturally the gangs involved with him were also hit hard.And the Ganhuai Waterway fell into Tulongbao's hands smoothly, and since the newly appointed Inspectorate was assassinated and killed, it was only natural that he should be replaced.And the one chosen was actually Jian Zangfeng, the master of Cangjian Villa...

At the same time, the Tibetan Sword Villa was ordered by the imperial court to supervise the manufacture of weapons, and was directly under the jurisdiction and supervision of the current Holy Majesty.

Qinzhou is no longer the Qinzhou of the Zhen family.These two spikes pierced Qinzhou's heart sharply and directly.Although Qinzhou was not uprooted, he had to endure the threats of the newly inherited Marquis of Xiping, Tibetan Sword Villa, and Tulongbao.

Sitting in Xipinghou's mansion, Su Ning's brows finally relaxed, and she made a pot of good tea for her brother who had been away for a day in a good mood, watching the summer sunset and sunset, looking forward to it.

Chu Ci hid under the shade of willows, looking at Su Ning in the water pavilion, his eyes were a little dazed.

Mo Xin lifted the willow sticks and snorted coldly, "You found those assassins! If you hurt them, I will kill you!"

Chu Ci didn't even bother to take a look.He just couldn't let Su Qi and Su Ning bring such a dangerous person back to Beijing.

But once Kuang Jun'an died, Su Qi destroyed Xiaoyi Village, helped Tu Longbao, asked for orders for Hidden Sword Villa, etc. These series of actions seemed to have been planned long ago.He had to recognize the fact that even if he didn't make a move, Su Qi would use this trick to kill someone sooner or later.

"Ahem..." A clear cough sounded from behind, and the two turned their heads in unison. It was Feng Meng, Marquis of Xiping.
