The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 504
Wang's side was worried about Xuan Shijing's life, but Xuan Shijing's side rode a fast horse all the way to Shenhou Mansion.

"My lord!" Arriving at the Shenhou Mansion, the guard guarding the gate greeted Xuan Shijing with a salute.

"Where's Gao Jun?"

"Return to your lord, Mr. Gao is in the study, with the room chief Shi and Mr. Chang." The porter responded.

Xuan Shijing gave the reins to Jin Yiwei who greeted him in front of the door, and then walked all the way into the study of Shenhou Mansion.

In the study room, Fang Yiai, Gao Jun and Chang Le are studying the news sent from Changzhou to Chang'an. There is a lot of news, and three sets have been collected, which will be delivered to Chang'an by six carrier pigeons. As soon as Chang'an receives the news, Gao Jun rode to the contact point to tell the news and brought it back to Shenhou Mansion.

Pushing open the door of the study, Xuan Shijing saw that Fang Yiai, Gao Jun, and Chang Le were sitting together, making tea, and there were several palm-sized letter papers on the table.

"How is it? Is there any news from Changzhou?" After entering the door, Xuan Shijing couldn't wait to walk over to the three of them, and sat down around the desk.

"The news is here. It's the more important news that Changzhou has spent the night inquiring about. The three of us have read the news. This time, things are a bit tricky." Gao Jun said with a serious face.

"What's the matter? Could it be that you found something?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Gao Jun nodded, his expression very ugly.

Seeing the reaction of the three of them, Xuan Shijing picked up the news on the table and read them one by one.

The governor of Changzhou was sent to Changzhou in the fifth year of Zhenguan, along with some officials around Changzhou. Some of these officials’ names are very familiar with Xuan Shijing, because most of these names appeared in Xuan Shijing’s handover. In the account book of His Majesty Li Er, there are those officials who have contacts with Li Yuanjing, and they are all old ministers who have made little achievements. However, most of the young people who were beaten are attached to those old ministers. Under his command, looking at these people now, they all have one characteristic in common. These people are the confidantes of Li Tang's family in the early years.

To put it bluntly, these people are former ministers of the two dynasties. Whether it is with Li Yuan, His Majesty Li Er, or Li Yuanjing, the relationship is very complicated, and the news also mentioned that these people years ago In Changzhou, the government offices of several counties were once united and dispatched government servants to encircle and suppress a businessman who was doing business in Changzhou. It was said that behind this businessman was a den of thieves, and this businessman was the front to collect money for the den of thieves.

"Isn't it normal for the government to encircle and suppress the den of thieves? The government in Changzhou didn't do it right, and let some of the thieves escape?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Gao Jun shook his head: "No, but the leader of this den of thieves has a lot to do with us." Speaking of this, Gao Jun's face was very ugly.

Seeing Gao Jun's expression, Xuan Shijing always had a bad feeling.

"What's going on?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Master Hou, the one who beat people in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City was not a gang, but a person, a master." Chang Le said.

Hearing Chang Le's words, Xuan Shijing was stunned for a moment, her mother's guess was indeed correct, this kind of thing, not only gangs can commit crimes, some masters, one person is enough to deal with the servants accompanied by officials.

"Gao Jun, do you know something?" Xuan Shijing asked, the news from Changzhou said that the leader of this den of thieves who was besieged by the local government in Changzhou was surnamed Shang Mingchong, and he was also a master, if it is correct However, it was Shang Chong who did the fighting in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City.

Looking at Gao Jun's appearance, it seems that he knows Shang Chong.

"Master Hou, it's a long story..."

"Then make a long story short." Xuan Shijing said impatiently.

"This Shang Chong's surname is not Shang, but Shan. It should be called Shan Chong." Gao Jun said bitterly.

"Single punch?!!!" Xuan Shijing was dumbfounded.

The surname is Shan, and looking at Gao Jun's reaction and Gao Jun's statement just now that this person has a great connection with the Hou Fu, no matter how stupid Xuan Shijing is, he knows the identity of Shan Chong.

There is a relationship with the Hou Mansion, and the surname is Shan, who else can have it!
"Son of Shan Xiongxin?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"No, it's Shan Xiongzhong's son. Back then, Shan Xiongzhong's family died in the hands of the first emperor, so the Shan family and the Li family formed a deadly feud. In the battle of Luoyang, Wang Shichong surrendered in Kaicheng. Shan Xiongxin would rather die than surrender. Tang died at the hands of His Majesty today, and Wang Shichong's daughter also died in love, but when Shan Xiongzhong died, Shan Chong escaped by luck, thanks to the late emperor who did not pursue him." Gao Jun said.

"It's the old man of the Hou Mansion. After the old man, it's really tricky." Xuan Shijing rubbed his head, and then glanced at the three people present: "What should I do?"

Knowing the identity of Shan Chong, Xuan Shijing hesitated, not knowing how to deal with this matter, after the old man, he must not be arrested and sent to the prison of Dali Temple, this Shan Chong is the son of Shan Xiongzhong , and the current Erxian Village was taken over by the Xuan family from the Shan family. No matter what, the Xuan family should not forget this kindness.

"Master Hou, there was an inseparable knot between the Shan family and the royal family back then, and now, the people of this Shan family, Lord Hou should not get involved again." Fang Yiai said.

Xuan Shijing smiled wryly, Fang Yiai might not know much about the relationship between the Xuan family and the Shan family, that's why she said such a sentence, although it was for Xuan Shijing's good, but this matter is really not Xuan Shijing Can do the Lord's.

There was a moment of silence in the study room. Originally, there were only three people at a loss, but now, there were four of them.

After being silent for a while, Gao Jun opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Why don't you go back and ask your wife about this matter, Lord Hou?"

In Gao Jun's heart, maybe the Wang family knew how to deal with this matter. After all, the Xuan family and the Shan family were friends of the previous generation, and this generation had almost no intersection. When Gao Jun entered Erxian Village, The brothers of the Shan family have already become underground dead souls, and this Shan Chong has never appeared since Shan Xiongzhong's family was beheaded by Li Yuan. Unexpectedly, he has been hiding in Changzhou.

"Okay, let's put it aside for now. The most important thing now is to find Shan Chong first." Xuan Shijing said: "It has been two or three days since the incident, and I don't know if this Shan Chong is still in Chang'an."

Only by finding Shan Chong can we know how to take the next step. Moreover, as the incident in Changzhou spread to Chang'an, I don't know if some families will send people to investigate, especially those officials who were beaten. If they found out Shan Chong's identity, then the Hou Mansion would be even more passive.
