The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 441 Meet Qin Zhan

Xuan Shijing was not in a hurry to interrogate Qin Zhan, but let the person who came back sit down to eat first.

Gao Jun and Shi Hu sat at the same table with Qin Zhan and Baozi, loosened the rope they were holding on to, and handed them bowls and chopsticks.

After seeing Xuan Shijing, Qin Zhan smiled with emotion: "I really didn't expect that the rumored Marquis of Dongshan would be so young."

Xuan Shijing also smiled when he heard the words, and responded: "Fortunately, Master Qin didn't expect it, otherwise, how could this little life of this Marquis survive."

"Mr. Hou's wit, Qin admires it." Qin Zhan cupped his hands at Xuan Shijing: "If I didn't have the ingenuity of Master Hou in the Dragon Valley yesterday, I'm afraid I would have succeeded in kissing someone."

"Master Qin is very polite." Xuan Shijing saw that Qin Zhan didn't intend to eat, he liked to chat, so he just had a good chat with him: "I really don't understand why Master Qin would think that he is halfway How about intercepting and killing Benhou? I hope that Master Qin will solve the confusion."

"Master Hou has already guessed in his mind, so why ask again?" Qin Zhan said with a smile.

"Although there is a guess, Benhou still wants to hear the details of this matter from the head of the Qin family." Xuan Shijing picked up the teacup, took a sip of the bitter tea, put down the cup and continued: "Chang'an City What conditions did people have that made you take such risks?"

"Wan Jin." Qin Zhan said flatly: "The news from Chang'an City, Wan Jin came to buy the life of Lord Hou."

"Hehe, in this way, Benhou's name is still valuable." Xuan Shijing smiled mockingly: "I'm afraid that the person who paid for Benhou's life now can't keep his own life, but Even so, it's not the main reason why the head of the Qin family wants to intercept and kill Benhou."

"How does Lord Hou know it's not?" Qin Zhan asked back.

"I'm afraid you're not the only one who got the news. On the way here, people from other places didn't act rashly. This ten thousand gold is not a small amount for people like Qin Dazhang who are begging for a living on the road, but they I am afraid that most people know what the consequences of intercepting and killing a court dignitary without action, so those who did not take action must have estimated the status of the imperial envoy and the title of the state marquis."

"That's right, the old boy Yingtou didn't move at all, I'm afraid the Hou Ye's people have already dealt with them." Qin Zhan said.

"Exactly, Yingtou is a smart man." Xuan Shijing replied with a smile, also reminding Qin Zhan that Yingtou is already on his side.

"It seems that I am really the only one who insists on going my own way." Qin Zhan smiled wryly, picked up the jug, and drank directly.

"Therefore, there must be a reason why Master Qin is so different. The reason is the master in the cottage?"

Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Qin Zhan's peaceful eyes flashed a sharpness, which happened to be caught by Xuan Shijing.

The corner of Xuan Shijing's mouth curled up slightly and said with a smile: "Looking at Master Qin's reaction, I'm afraid Benhou guessed it right."

"Did the old boy Yingtou tell you about the master?" Qin Zhan asked with lowered eyes.

"Part of it is, part of it is speculation, and the rest is seen from the performance of the subordinates of Master Qin on the official road tonight." Xuan Shijing continued: "If Leopard is your right-hand man of Master Qin, The lion who brought people here today is probably the master's confidant."

Speaking of this, Gao Jun and Shi Hu couldn't help raising their heads, and listened carefully to the conversation between their master Hou and Qin Zhan. Gao Jun, Shi Hu and Chang Le could also tell that there was a lot of people in Qin Zhan's village. , this master's status seems to be very important, like the queen mother standing behind Qin Zhan manipulating people, especially Gao Jun and Chang Le, who saw the news in Yingtou's cottage in the afternoon and heard Yingtou What they said, combined with their own guesses and the performance of those chasing soldiers when they came back, the two felt that their guesses were already answered by eight or nine points.

"Master Hou is really smart, so why don't you guess why I was so easily captured and let Master Hou's men bring me to Shangzhou City, you know, when I am on the road, there are many opportunities to escape from Master Hou Back to the cottage under human control." Qin Zhan said.

"Because you want to come to see me, and you want to find a chance for yourself!" Xuan Shijing said to the point, Qin Zhan froze on the spot.

"You want to come to see me, I'm afraid you are looking for an opportunity to ask Benhou to help you take back the cottage, or to help you get rid of the master behind you, otherwise you will come to Shangzhou City, and you will not kill your cronies. Bring it too." Xuan Shijing looked at the leopard who was sitting nervously beside Qin Zhan: "In other words, it's not you, nor the master behind you, but the master behind you who controls your cottage." moreover, this person is very likely to be someone from Chang'an City."

If he was just stunned before, then Qin Zhan's heart was completely aroused at this time. Just relying on this information, he was able to guess the situation in his cottage and the secrets that he buried deep in the depths that he dared not reveal. , so it was guessed.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. What Qin Zhan didn't expect was that Yingtou secretly collected a lot of information about his cottage, and Yingtou was also worried about the master in the cottage.

"Looking at how the head of the Qin family looks like, the Marquis guessed it right." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Qin Zhan nodded dejectedly: "That's right, what Master Hou guessed is all the truth. The master in Xiashanzhai is indeed the person behind him, but I don't know who is behind him."

"Oh? Then what did that master do in the cottage all these years?" Xuan Shijing asked, if that master hadn't pushed Qin Zhan too hard, Qin Zhan would not have dared to set his mind on it On the body of the noble sent by the imperial court.

"In the past few years, the master has just used the guise of a copycat to collect money for the people behind him through the hands of the copycat. The coffin books that our brothers saved in the copycat were sent out by the master. Where are they sent? Don't let us ask, I was forced to have no choice but to eat this terrible meal." Qin Zhan said helplessly: "Brothers are still young, and the days to come are still long. After getting the money, let the brothers go down the mountain to do good business, start a family and start a business, but after so many years, the bamboo basket fetches water, and nothing happens."

"Gathering money?" Xuan Shijing frowned when he heard Qin Zhan's explanation. If people in Chang'an City frantically used bandits to search for so much money in the Qinling Mountains, what's the use?
If it wasn't someone from Chang'an City, who would it be?
