I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 394 Secret Meeting
Immediately after Zhan Feiyu left from Master Yao, someone reported the news to Commander Xie who was temporarily staying at the inn.

The candlelight illuminated the room, and Commander Xie poured two glasses of wine himself, "I wish you all well, a glass of beer, please."

He raised his head and drank the strong wine in the cup, Zhu Xiao's face was stern, and he couldn't see the joy of meeting the old man, "Master Xie is really well-informed, it seems that even the troubles in Suzhou Mansion can't escape the eyes of Master Xie. "

After the fall of Zhenbianhou's Mansion, Zhu Xiao secretly fled to the barbarians. This time he went back to Suzhou Mansion in secret, so he met Zhan Feiyu in private.

Commander Xie was able to send the invitation to his place, and he thought he had grasped Zhu Xiao's whereabouts from the very beginning.

After drinking the same cup, Commander Xie smiled generously, and said loudly: "I'm in charge of the government, and I am the commander of the Longyou Dao. If I can't even notice this movement, I don't think I have the right to sit here." In this position."

When the General's Mansion was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, the Zhenbianhou's Mansion had always wanted to take over the military power of Longyou Dao. Unfortunately, those soldiers were loyal to the Yang family, and the Zhenbianhou's mansion had failed after years of hard work. Zhu Xiao and Xie Commander all these years There are also some contacts, but there is no deep friendship.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, when we meet again, Commander Xie is still an official of the frontier, a third-rank official of the court, Zhu Xiao, the son of the Marquis of the town, is now a wanted criminal by the court, and can only hide in the barbarians.

"Ming people don't speak dark words, what does Master Xie intend to do?" Zhu Xiao asked coldly, a pair of tiger eyes burst out with a sharp cold light.

It is not surprising that Commander Xie found Zhu Xiao's whereabouts. As the head of the command department, the safety of the entire Longyou Road is under his control, and all the guards are under his jurisdiction. road.

But if Commander Xie wants to take down Zhu Xiao and claim credit from the court, it will not be so easy!

Not to mention that Zhu Xiao was originally a tiger general, and he absconded to the barbarians and took away the elites of the Zhenbianhou Mansion. Now that he appears in Suzhou Mansion, he must be accompanied by these elites.

Even if Commander Xie dispatched the troops from the Suzhou Guards Station, he might not be able to keep Zhu Xiao, and the roundup would fail, and instead he would be charged with incompetence.

Commander Xie poured two glasses of wine again, picked up the food with his chopsticks and ate slowly, "I wonder if Zhu Xiao is willing to make a deal with me, and I need to borrow someone from Zhu Xiao."

"Who do you want to kill? Master Yao?" Zhu Xiao looked coldly at Commander Xie who was sitting across from him. At first glance, he was a rough and unrestrained general, but who would have thought that this man was cruel and merciless. How many people died at his hands.

Loud laughter sounded, Commander Xie was playing with the wine glass in his hand, looked at the solemn and majestic Zhu Xiao with a smile and denied, "Master Yao is the confidant of the Holy Majesty, if there is something wrong with him, I, the Commander, will also sit at the end .”

Lord Yao is in charge of the government affairs of Longyou Road, and Commander Xie is in charge of military affairs. If Lord Yao is killed, His Majesty will be the first to take his anger out on Commander Xie. He will not do stupid things like shooting himself in the foot .

Furthermore, Master Yao is the confidant of the Holy Majesty, and he is a lonely minister. He has not relied on any prince, so Commander Xie and Lord Yao have no conflict of interest. Commander is really not worth the candle.

Zhu Xiao frowned and thought about it. He also knew that it couldn't be Mr. Yao, but it couldn't be Mr. Zheng from the Jucha Division.

Going over the people and things in Suzhou Prefecture in my mind, Zhang Zhifu is dead, Zhao Tongzhi is nothing to fear, and Pang Tongzhi was taken away by the forbidden dragon guard.

As for the matter of Chu Qian who is in jail, he is just a scapegoat, and he deserves to thank the commander for borrowing his own people to kill...

Zhu Xiao's expression changed suddenly, his eyes were as sharp as a light, and he said sharply: "You want to kill Zhan Feiyu!"

Not a doubt but an affirmation!If Commander Xie wanted to kill someone, he didn't need to borrow Zhu Xiao's name at all, even if he wanted to kill Master Yao, it would be easy, but Zhan Feiyu was an exception.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Xiao sneered, "The only disciple of Master Gu, the Holy Majesty is also famous there, Zhan Feiyu is still holding the Token of Forbidden Dragon Guard, don't drag me into the water if you want to die!"

Commander Xie's expression remained unchanged, and his slightly plump and round body relaxed on the back of the chair, "Brother Zhu, don't get angry. I can confirm that Zhan Feiyu is not a legacy."

The rumor of this oolong was created by the First Prince in Huai'an Mansion, and because he saw a dragon pendant on Zhan Feiyu's body, the First Prince misunderstood it.

As soon as the news spread back to the capital, not only the various aristocratic families in the capital, but also the palace began to investigate. Although the Holy Majesty has gone out in secret in the past ten years, he has also been to Jiangnan Road.

But according to the investigation in the palace, Zhan Feiyu could not be the child of the Holy Majesty. As for the dragon pendant on her body, it was probably a reward from the Holy Majesty.

"Movable type printing today was discovered by Zhan Feiyu, otherwise Gu Xueshi would not have accepted her as a disciple, and her policy question later led to a new method of drying salt. This is a great contribution and is rewarded by the Holy One." A piece of jade pendant is also normal." Commander Xie also understands the present, and treats meritorious ministers very kindly.

Zhan Feiyu's two credits can make the name of the saint last forever, let alone a piece of dragon pendant, it is not an exaggeration to be named a princess.

Zhu Xiao put down the wine glass in his hand with a snap, with an angry expression on his face, "You are afraid that the Forbidden Dragon Guards will find you, so you plan to bring trouble to the east, but Zhu wants to know what price Mr. Xie can offer!"

Forbidden Dragon Guard's pervasive investigation, no matter how precise and perfect Commander Xie's layout is, as long as the Forbidden Dragon Guard investigates, they will definitely find clues, and the most dreadful thing is that the Forbidden Dragon Guard can kill first and then play.

Just like Pang Tongzhi, he was imprisoned in the Suzhou government office for many days, and Master Yao could not torture him directly, so Master Yao had no choice but to confess Pang Tongzhi or not.

But the Forbidden Dragon Guard is different. After taking the person away, he was tortured and waited on, and the eighteen generations of ancestors were explained clearly.

If something happened to Zhan Feiyu in Suzhou Mansion, the first suspect of the Forbidden Dragon Guard would be Commander Xie. Long Wei probably wouldn't let any of them go.

When the time comes for them to arrest him for a trial, Commander Xie probably won't be able to hide the dirty things he has done these years, so he can't use his own people, so he turned his idea on Zhu Xiao.

"Brother Zhu, calm down." Commander Xie stood up, kissed Zhu Xiao and poured Zhu Xiao a glass of wine, and then said: "Mrs. Pang has a list in her hand. If she can get this list, it will not only be for Suzhou Prefecture, but also for There are several nearby state capitals, as long as brother Zhu slowly seeks them out, these state capitals may all be under the control of brother Zhu in the future."

This list is useless in the hands of Zhan Feiyu, and it is useless in the hands of Gu Xueshi. It will not be of much use if Lord Yao gets it, after all, he is already the chief envoy of Longyou Dao.

Although Commander Xie is in the command department, it can play a role if he really gets this list.

As for Zhu Xiao, although the Zhenbianhou's Mansion was defeated, Zhu Xiao was already prepared to abscond with the barbarians. There were still people from the Zhenbianhou's Mansion in every prefecture of Longyou Road, but they were hiding deeply.

If Zhu Xiao got this list, and then let these hidden old people of the Marquis Mansion lay out plots, he could indeed control Suzhou Mansion, and even several neighboring state capitals.

Unmoved, Zhu Xiao gave a cold snort, did not take the wine glass handed over by Commander Xie, and said coldly: "Pang Tongzhi is in the hands of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, and this list is probably already in the possession of the Forbidden Dragon Guard. "

"Brother Zhu, it's more like a directory than a list. It not only has names and identities on it, but also records their corruption and breaking the law." Commander Xie smiled loudly and continued: "I heard that Pang Tongzhi couldn't stand it." The punishment of the Dragon Guards, after confessing the news that the Forbidden Dragon Guards want to know, people will be crippled, and the Forbidden Dragons did not know about this list before."

The Forbidden Dragon Guards only obey the orders of the Holy Majesty. Pang Tongzhi has contact with a certain prince in the palace. , Commander Xie and Lord Yao didn't know about it. Who would have thought that Pang Tongzhi still had this list in his hand.
