Chapter 597 Information Poor

"He's out."

Li Zhaocheng lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside, then whispered to Jiang Fan: "I'm going, you see if there is a tail."

"Be careful."

"Do not worry."

Li Zhaocheng quickly got out of the carriage, quickly passed through the crowd, and rushed towards the group of people who came out of Prince Zhong's Mansion.

Before the person came close, he heard a loud shout.

"Take him!"

Li Zhaocheng was kicked in the stomach and fell to the ground with his body pinned down.

Without panicking, he looked up at the sixty-year-old official in front of him.

"Mr. Ye, I am the brother of Li Jieshuai from Sichuan. I have something very important to discuss with you."

Ye Mengding was about to get into the sedan chair, when he turned his head, his eyes were pensive.

Li Zhaocheng was searched by others, he spoke quickly, and said: "A cricket bit King Zhong today."

"Let him come here." Ye Mengding stroked his beard for a while, pointed to the sedan chair, and said to Li Zhaocheng, "How about riding with me?"

……

In the distance, Jiang Fan saw Li Zhaocheng get into Ye Mengding's sedan chair with his own eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced around, looking for suspicious figures in the streets.

"The scholar in the blue shirt at the entrance of the alley, the vendor selling vegetables at the corner, the vendor selling candied haws, and that old woman...follow and see who is going to Renshoufang."

~~
Renshoufang.

Ouyang Hui pushed open the courtyard door and looked towards the alley.

Her father is Ouyang Shoudao, the mountain chief of Bailuzhou Academy, and he is of the same clan as Ouyang Xiu.

Bailuzhou Academy was founded by Jiang Wanli. After Jiang Wanli recovered, Ouyang Shoudao stayed in the academy and taught many contemporary talents, the most outstanding of which is Wen Yunsun.

Ouyang Shoudao admires Wen Yunsun very much, and married his daughter to Wen Yunsun early on, which is considered a wise eye.

However, Ouyang Hui didn't care about being the wife of the number one scholar. She had a deep relationship with Wen Yunsun and his wife, and she cared more about her husband.

At this time the night was getting dark, but Wen Yunsun had not returned yet, her eyes could not help showing worry.

Finally, a sedan chair slowly came over in the darkness.

Ouyang Hui hastily retreated back to the courtyard, only to see that Zhao Yuxi, the prefect of Lin'an, got off the sedan chair, and then came out again to have a good fortune.

"I met Uncle Zhao."

The reason why she called her that way was because Ouyang Shoudao and Zhao Yuxi had always been close family friends, and the small courtyard that Wen Yunsun was renting now belonged to Zhao Yuxi.

"It's Hui'er." Zhao Yuxi got off the sedan chair, and warned, "Song Rui hasn't come back yet? Tell someone to wait at home. Don't come out at night, just in case you meet a thief."

"Thank you Uncle Zhao, please wait a moment, my niece is going to get the rent money..."

"Hey, it's boring to see the outside world."

"The official told me that it must be given."

Zhao Yuxi smiled, waved his hand and said, "Let Song Rui tell me tomorrow, you go back quickly."

After speaking, he turned back to the mansion.

Ouyang Hui glanced at the alley again, seeing that the sky was getting darker, she became more and more worried.

"May I ask if it's Mrs. Wen?"

Suddenly a woman's voice sounded from behind.

Ouyang Hui turned her head to look, but saw a woman approaching from the other side of the alley, she was quite good-looking.

But when the other party came closer, he saw that half of her face was covered with scars, which was quite frightening.

"Madam, go back." The maid behind her whispered, pulling Ouyang Hui.

Ouyang Hui was not afraid, but felt sorry for the other party, and said, "Who is this lady?"

"I was originally a singer in Jia Sidao's mansion, and I offended him for some reason... I came here tonight to tell my wife something."

Ouyang Hui stroked the hair beside her ears, as if she had a premonition of something.

She raised her head, and her posture seemed a little strong.

"Let this lady come in and talk about it..."

~~
Over there, Zhao and Xi turned back to the mansion.

His great-grandfather Zhao Bogui and Emperor Xiaozong of the Great Song Dynasty were brothers. Although Emperor Xiaozong was adopted by Gaozong, after Zhao Bogui died, Xiaozong still named him Chongwang and gave him a mansion in Huzhou.

Therefore, Zhao Yuxi's home is also in Huzhou, and he is an official in Lin'an, and only a few younger children are with him.

Among them, his favorite is the seventh son, Zhao Mengfu.

Zhao Mengfu is only five years old this year, but he is already very talented in calligraphy and painting. He is sitting in the courtyard practicing calligraphy by holding a candle.

"Father."

Although Zhao Yufu loved the child, he responded with a straight face: "It is right to work hard, but don't damage your eyes."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to his stepmother Qiu and said, "Light some more candles for the children at night."

"Yes, the officials should eat first."

"Don't worry, let Fu'er finish writing this post, I'll change my clothes first."

Zhao Yufu took a deep look at his young son who showed his beauty, and sighed imperceptibly.

Seeing that the official family has no heirs these years, it's not that he has no intentions.

A while ago, I felt very close. If Wu Qian and Li Xia could work together, even if the seventh son was not allowed to be the heir of the official family, it would be fine if the fourth son born to his deceased wife Li Shi was adopted...

It's a pity that it fell short.

Now that Jia Sidao is in charge of the world, it will not be long before he will be replaced as the prefect of Lin'an.

The clan... The clan of the Great Song Dynasty has become the world of one husband and one person.

With this thought in mind, suddenly, the porter hurried over.

"Ah Lang, Mrs. Wen asked to see her, she said she has something important to do..."

Before the words were finished, Ouyang Hui had rushed over quickly, and she was about to kneel down.

"Uncle, I beg uncle to save the lives of my officials."

"Hurry up, hold her." Zhao Yuxi hurriedly asked Qiu Shi to stop Ouyang Hui from kneeling, and said, "What's the matter? Speak slowly, go to the hall..."

~~
Sitting in the vestibule practicing calligraphy, Zhao Mengfu put down his pen and turned his head to look at the hall, only to see that the other servants had been waved away, only Wen's sister-in-law was whispering to his father in the hall, and his mother was sitting outside.

Holding the written words, he ran to the hall, wanting his father to have a look, so that he could have dinner with Wen's sister-in-law.

Running all the way to his father's side, Zhao Mengfu heard a few words, but he didn't understand and didn't care at all.

"...that lady only heard the word 'Feng Ji', Jia Sidao ordered to cover up the news and detained the officials."

"What about her?"

"Let's go, afraid of being implicated."

The next moment, Zhao Mengfu's father slapped the copybook away...

~~
On the carriage, Jiang Fan squinted at the alley, watching a scholar in blue gown walking towards Zhao Yuxi's mansion.

I saw the door of the mansion opened with a "squeak".

"It doesn't have to be like this." Jiang Fan murmured in a low voice.

~~
Over there, Zhao Yuxu just rushed out of the mansion, just as he saw the green-clothed scholar walking towards him, he said something in a low voice.

"My Lord, King Zhong has been called into the palace. Li Xia sent someone to tell Ye Mengding that the cricket is going to bite King Zhong..."

Zhao Yuxi nodded, turned around and told his followers: "Prepare the sedan chair and enter the palace."

~~
In Da Nei, in the Hall of Xuande, Zhao Yu was still kneeling in front of Zhao Yun and shivering.

"Ghost... I really saw Wei Guansun's ghost..."

"I'm not asking you this now." Zhao Yun said, "I'll say it again from the beginning, and I just remembered it."

Zhao Yu lowered her head, recalling with difficulty as if reciting a memorandum, and said: "Sir, the uncle's hiring for the child...is very hard, and I should visit him. Then the husband arranged for the entourage, and two people have been following the child. But they have never seen each other... When they arrived at the uncle's house, after the baby was born, they disappeared..."

"There was auspiciousness that night, did you really see a fairy?"

"No...no." Zhao Yu said: "My child is reading...not reading, the child is playing hide-and-seek, and when he hears someone shouting 'Let's go, let's go', the child will run, run, run, sir, there is a fairy Immortal medicine given..."

"You want to give it to me?"

"No... the master asked the boy to present it, saying that it was good for the father's health."

Zhao Yun's face became more and more serious, and he turned his head to look outside the hall, waiting anxiously.

He has not yet decided whether to send troops to pursue Li Xia on the charge of "collaborating with the enemy and treason".

This is a major matter, and it must be clearly determined first. It is the fastest way to check whether Li Xia is in collusion with Ye Mengding.

I have to ask Ye Mengding.

Finally, He Zhongjing hurried into the hall and knelt down.

"Humble position is a crime, please Your Majesty..."

"Where's Ye Mengding?"

He Zhongjing kowtowed heavily, and said: "Not in Prince Zhong's Mansion, only the person who met Li Xia was found...I don't know where he went after that, the humble official ordered someone to take control of his mansion."

Zhao Yun's complexion changed, and a stern look rarely flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Continue to investigate secretly, once Li Xia and Ye Mengding are found, they will be killed."

"The decree of the humble post!"

Zhao Yun stroked his forehead and paced back and forth.

He couldn't believe that the matter would develop to this point. The Imperial City Secretary alone was not enough to cover it up.

To deploy troops?
On the surface, Li Xia wanted to defect and took away several ministers.

"Pass down the decree to recruit the officials in charge of the court and the commander-in-chief of the Sanya Hall to enter the palace immediately to perform the duties."

"According to the order."

"Dong Songchen, come and change Wen Yunsun's memorial, and change it to... Li Xia and Li Fen of Mongolia have always had secret contacts..."

~~
In the north of Miyagi, go to the teaching field.

"Lianzhong! Feiyu is amazing."

There was a shout in the barracks.

After playing the pitching pot for a while, more than [-] imperial guards who had good friends with Yang Zhen were already drunk.On the contrary, Li Xia's dozen or so guards were still sober.

Seeing this scene, Li Xia stopped taking the arrows from Yang Zhen.

"It's okay for Dingfan to play around like this?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm just an honorary officer without a real job. That is to say, to strengthen the defense in the palace tonight. The general personally led the people there. He's a new official. He's good at it. He wants me to guard the battalion... come again."

"I won't play anymore, it doesn't mean much, I'm leaving."

"Where?"

"It's sleeping flowers and willows." Li Xia said: "My people have already set off. Taking advantage of their slow travel, I will play for three or five days and then rush to Huating County to meet up."

"Then it's time to spend more time with me, don't show loyalty."

"Okay, then I'll go outside to catch my breath."

Li Xia walked outside the camp calmly, walked up to the watchtower, and looked up at Miyagi.

This place is on Phoenix Mountain, and it is condescending, and it happens to have a panoramic view of Ouchi Miyagi.

It is quite spectacular to see the torches on the inner city wall of Lin'an, the outer city of Dainai Palace and the inner city, like long snakes.

Previously, it could only be counted that there were more than [-] troops guarding Miyagi, but tonight, there should be at least [-] troops stationed near Miyagi.

Not including the troops on the north side of the city and the outer city...

Yang Zhen also came over and said with a smile, "The night wind is really cold."

"Yeah, this Lin'an is really not suitable for setting up a capital. There is no imperial palace built at the foot of the mountain. When you climb up and look at it, you can clearly see the deployment of troops."

"There are also the natural dangers of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River." Yang Zhen didn't think so, and said with a smile: "I really think that when the enemy soldiers cross the Yangtze River, who will guard Lin'an?"

"Too."

"How about some more fun?" Yang Zhen said to himself, and said with a smile, "Yes."

"Huh?" Li Xia looked at the distance and snorted casually.

Yang Zhendao: "I heard that you have a poetic talent, but I haven't heard you compose a poem in this period of time. In this situation, and at the time of parting, send me a poem."

Li Xia looked around and saw a group of people holding on to the torches and walking towards the Xuande Hall from a distance.

It is self-evident why the Son of Heaven summoned his ministers overnight.

He finally showed some anxiety in his eyes, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the wine storehouse to the east.

After a while, I finally saw a flash of fire.

"Feiyu?"

Li Xia turned her head, with only peace in her eyes, and said with a smile, "That's fine, in this situation, I do remember half a line of the poem I read in the book, but I can't remember it clearly."

"Read it to me quickly."

Li Xia rested his hand on the wooden railing and read aloud casually.

"I don't dare to stretch my legs late at night, I'm afraid that the mountains and rivers will be pierced by my feet."

The voice did not fall.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Explosions sounded continuously, the observation tower under the feet was shaking, and it seemed that the sky and the earth were falling on Phoenix Mountain.
