The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 189 One Stone, Three Birds' Calculation
On rainy nights, lightning occasionally pierced the night sky, and the rumbling thunder frightened the cat under the eaves to 'meow' and flee.

In the dim light of lanterns on the side of the street, one after another of figures braved the rain and stepped on the stagnant water to spread towards Chunming Gate. The people of Yahang naturally didn't dare to attack the city gate, and they could still do it from a distance.

The person was arrested in Dongshi. If he went out of the city, the fastest place could only be here. Of course, Dou Wei took another group of people to the Mingde Gate in the south. He knew the carriage, although it was inconspicuous, but there were always one or two special places, such as that Geng Nian, who made a sign on the back of the carriage, and carved crooked handwriting with a knife.

As long as you pay attention, you should be able to see it.

However, along the way, there were no traces of any carriages on the street. Because of the heavy rain, even the imprint of a wheel on the street was washed away.

"Hope is still in town."

In the night, in the direction where he was galloping on horseback, an unremarkable carriage slowly arrived at Qixia Gate on the right side of the south gate. After a glance, the silent past slowly opened the city gate, leaving a gap enough for a carriage to pass through.

After a while, the city gate was closed again.

In the rainy night, the sound of horseshoes came galloping, the guards under the city gate stepped forward and lined up, their spears moved down and pointed obliquely, and the leading team was walking into the rain curtain with the handle of the knife pressed.

"People who come to dismount, are not allowed to enter the city gate late at night, turn around and go back immediately!"

Dou Weiler stopped the horse, looked around, and looked around. He understood the reason why people don't fight with officials. He got off the horse and clasped his fists at the opponent.

"Dou Wei, who is in Yaxing, Xiadongshi, saw a carriage pass by."

"It turned out to be Boss Dou, but I didn't see any carriages. You should go back quickly. If someone from Jing Zhaoyi sees the curfew and is still wandering outside, you will be in jail for a few days."

"Thanks."

Dou Wei clenched his teeth and clasped his fists to return the salute. He couldn't tell whether Bai Yunxiang's carriage passed by. If the other party refused to tell, he had no choice but to wait until the city gate was opened before going out. But by then, the carriage would no longer know how to run. How far, where to go.

He looked at the sky, and the eastern sky was gradually turning white, so he had to ride back on his horse, and the people who came back later did not hear the slightest news.

Back in Dongshi, they ran into Qin Huaimian and Jiuyu who had come back from the city gate, and there were a few green faces beside them. After some courtesy, the three of them discussed for a while, but they couldn't do anything for the time being.

When the sky was getting brighter and the Chunming Gate opened, Dou Wei led his men out of the city to look for it. Jiuyu borrowed a fast horse and rushed back to Huazhou first.

Qin Huaimian sent them out of the city gate and stood there for a long time. He originally planned to enter the palace to inform the emperor, but there was no evidence to prove Cui Yin's kidnapping.

Soon, he returned to the city and walked into Zhang's mansion.

The sun gradually rises above the clouds, and the bright sky illuminates a fast horse galloping along the official road. Slowly, the sun tilts and falls, and in the darkness, there is still the outline of the fast horse running.

In the morning of the next day, the horse fell to the ground and was dead. Jiuyu began to lighten his body and galloped wildly on the road, in the mountains, and in the fields.

Huazhou, Yunlailou.

Above the noisy hall, Geng Qing was writing at his desk in a guest room, arranging a plan to return to the court. Looking up, a gust of cold wind blew over, and the door behind him creaked open.

Geng Qing looked up, Jiuyu took out a few letters and slapped them on the table, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water.

goo~
Gu~huhu
The clear water trickled down his throat and into his intestines and stomach, the eunuch let out a breath, and then looked at Geng Qing who was sitting over.

"Call your righteous sister-in-law, and it seems that someone named Cui Yin ordered your son to be kidnapped. According to Qin Huaimian, he is still the prime minister."

The words came out for a while, and Geng Qing, who was sitting opposite, clenched his hands into fists and pressed them on his knees, there was no reaction on his face, his eyelids were half drooping as if he hadn't heard it, and all emotions were gone.

After a long while, the letters on the table in his hand were slowly and neatly stacked, and the three gang members outside were called in without any fluctuations in his voice.

"Bring your things and let's go."

The three of them have followed for many years, unlike other members of the gang, they have experienced Li Cunxiao's robbery of the camp, they have seen big scenes, and they also have a certain understanding of Geng Qing's demeanor. In the room, he changed into a robe with beautiful cloud patterns, and each carried a wooden box on his back, which looked heavy.

They lined up and followed Geng Qing out of the restaurant and out of Huazhou. When driving along the official road, Geng Qing read those letters one by one in the car. Information is the most important at any time.

"Qinghe Cui's. From Hebei, no wonder he has a northern accent."

The letters in his hand were from Zhang Huaiyi, Wang Feiying and others. Right now, he was reading Qin Huaimian's news about the imperial court, especially the Prime Minister Cui Yin.

'The Cui Jiao who was killed by me back then seems to belong to the Qinghe Cui family. It makes sense to kidnap Bai Yunxiang's mother and son. '

The letter said that Cui Yin had been promoted to the phase with the help of the Qinghe Cui family in three years. With such strength, it should be easy for the other party to find out Cui Jiao's death in these three years.

"The kidnapping of Bai Yunxiang's mother and child should not be because of what I guessed before, but because they want to take revenge on me. Or force me to come out?" '

Geng Qing looked through the letter in his hand several times, and when there was no information of any value, he crumpled it up and threw it outside.

"He can see that the emperor in the palace should be more or less aware of what I did back then. This Cui Xiang can have such a decisive method, and he is not an idiot. To do such a thing will definitely squeeze out the value inside."

In the carriage, no one disturbed him, but sat cross-legged quietly.Geng Qing, who was lost in thought, suddenly opened his eyes, and the tapping fingertips stopped.

Combined with the fact that the emperor wanted to conquer the land of Shu, and Li Keyong in the north was restrained, did the emperor in the palace just let go of the opportunity to eradicate the eunuchs?
It is not difficult to see that that Cui Xiang not only wanted to hurt Geng Qing to take revenge, but also used external force to exterminate the intricate eunuchs in the palace.

Which way will it be?
As long as you can identify them, you can know the direction of Bai Yunxiang's mother and son. After staying in Chang'an for many years, Geng Qing more or less knows the potential strength of these eunuchs.

Xifeng Li Maozhen?He is related to the eunuchs in the palace. Yang Shouzhen, the envoy of the Dragon Sword Festival in the south of Chang'an, and Yang Shouliang, the envoy of the Xingyuan Festival, are also the adopted sons of Yang Fugong in the past three years. Wang Chongrong in the north of the river is already old again. Not interested, and Li Keyong may be reinforced at any time, so he will not get involved in this matter at all.

As for the land of Shu, they are preparing for war there. Only Zhu Wen and Zhu Quanzhong are the closest to the east!
And have this ability.

Thinking of this, Geng Qing squinted his eyes, "Not only kills two birds with one stone, this Cui Yin should know Zhu Wen's preferences, and it also has something to do with me back then. If the other party accepts Bai Yunxiang into the room, then he will completely turn against me and can only stand on the ground." Next to Cui Yin. '

Kill three birds with one stone, so calculating.

Knowing the other party's intentions, Geng Qing relaxed somewhat and knocked on the carriage, "Dachun, divert to Tongguan." He said and looked at Jiuyu, "Go back to Chang'an and tell Qin Huaimian and Dou Wei that the other party may leave. Tongguan."

The carriage turned around, and the eunuch rushed out of the curtain, jumped outside and walked towards Chang'an on foot.

In the car, Geng Qing leaned against the window frame, looking out at a river across the front, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This Cui Yin has the demeanor of my time in Feihu County."
