First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 348 He Zhongde's Conjecture
...

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter", Gao Chong said in a deep voice.

Huan Fasi's breath was disordered, it seemed that he came in a hurry.

"I've met you, but I don't know if you called the poor Taoist late at night, what are your orders?"

Gao Chong looked unhappy, and stared at Huan Fasi coldly, "Tell me, the He family is Tian Zongxian's diehard loyalists?"

"Yes", because Huan Fa's heir is unknown, "When Tian Zongxian came to Guizhou, the He family was the first to welcome him, and he offended Tian Ran's family because of this. This is well known in Qianzhou."

"Then He Zhongde told me tonight that Tian Zongxian was very mean to the He family, is there such a thing?" Gao Chong continued to ask.

If the news is wrong, then he will definitely not spare Huan Fasi.

A wrong message at this critical moment is enough to mislead his judgment.

Huan Fasi was a little puzzled when he heard the words, and was very puzzled, "It shouldn't be, the He family has been in charge of the Hongshe county magistrate for three times so far, which shows Tian Zongxian's preference for the He family."

"First, quickly find out the relationship between He Zhongde's father and Tian Zongxian in as much detail as possible.

Second, at the end of last year, did the He family have any disputes with the Ran family?

Third, Tian Zongxian's attitude towards the Ran family and the changes in the official positions of the Ran family.

For the above three points, I need to know the answer before noon tomorrow.”

Gao Chong said without hesitation.

Huan Fasi was puzzled when he heard the words, "My lord, it's only half a night and a half day, how can..." Huan Fasi saw Gao Chong's cold eyes when he said that, so he had no choice but to comply.

"Huan Fasi, you have to know that you are still wearing a crime. I saved you from the execution ground. You made it clear to me the day before yesterday that the He family is loyal to Tian Zongxian, and you almost misled me."

Gao Chong got up and walked to the front, staring at Huan Fasi and said slowly: "Of course, if you are sure to escape Wei Fengwei's pursuit, you can also run. If you are capable, you can run with your elder brother."

"What, you, my lord, have you found the poor boy?" Huan Fasi's expression changed suddenly, and he yelled, tightly pulling Gao Chong's sleeve.

"Weifengwei is all over the world, what do you think?" Gao Chong smiled, with a warm smile on his face.

"Don't be nervous, Daoist. The Weifeng Guard in Jianghuai has received news that he has indeed found a person who is very similar to the child you described.

I have sent a letter to Xue Bobao, asking him to order the man to be sent to Chang'an, and if this matter is over, we will return to Beijing, and you can also see him face to face."

Huan Fasi was so excited that he hastily kowtowed to the ground, "Thank you so much for your kindness."

Gao Chong helped him up, "Let's do it quickly, I also want to return to Beijing early."

Huan Fasi went out in good spirits.

It turned out that Huan Fasi had married in his early years, and later bid farewell to his wife and children, and went out to travel around the world. When the world was in chaos and he returned, his hometown was hit by a military disaster, and his wife and children had been separated.

Huan Fasi defected to Wang Shichong and set up an intelligence organization for him. While realizing his ambition, he searched for his wife and children. Years of searching failed, but according to reliable sources, his son should still be alive.

Gao Chong rescued Huan Fasi from the execution ground, and Huan Fasi expressed his willingness to serve him, and at the same time asked Datang to find a separated only son for him. reason.

Back to the bedroom in the back hall, I found He Siniang sitting upright on the bed, hearing footsteps, I couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Why don't you rest?" Gao Chong was also a little sleepy and yawned.

"Young Master has not returned, I dare not rest", He Siniang said timidly, got up hastily, but she was a little numb from sitting for a long time, she staggered and almost fell to the ground, Gao rushed forward and hugged her, her arms were immediately filled with fragrant jade.

"I'm tired today, go to bed early, and you'll come back to Beijing with me later", Gao Chong was really tired after the bumpy journey, he took off his clothes and lay down on the bed and fell asleep soundly.

Seeing that Gao Chong was already snoring, He Siniang was at a loss and hesitated for a long time before carefully lying down beside him.

Unexpectedly, Gao Chong turned over and hugged him tightly, continuing to snore loudly.

He Siniang didn't dare to move.

The next day, the sky was bright and Gao Chong just got up.

After He Siniang waited strangely to wash up, the guards handed over the maces, Gao Chong took them and went to the backyard for morning exercises.

"Lang Jun, what county magistrate seeks to see", the personal guard came to report.

"Let him come in and wait", Gao Chong kept moving, the iron mace in his hand was dancing with wind, every move, every move, powerful and heavy.

After playing the routine, Gao Chong threw the mace heavily on the ground, sweating profusely, and the guards hurriedly handed over the handkerchief to wipe it.

"He Mingfu, it's early." Gao Chong drank a large pot of warm water.

He Zhongde looked up at the sun unconsciously, slandering in his heart: It's not too early, but when he looked down and saw the smashed floor tiles on the ground, he sensibly praised: "Young master is good at martial arts. Invincible, see today, well-deserved reputation."

"You know martial arts?" Gao Chong asked with his head turned.

He Zhongde choked when he heard the words, and hurriedly said with a sneer: "Young master is joking, I have no strength to restrain a chicken, but I just see that young master is very powerful in practice, and I really admire him."

At this time, He Zhongde even regretted what he said to Gao Chong last night, he was a little uncertain about this young master Gao's temper.

He looked very shrewd last night, but today he is acting like a son of a noble family, behaves in the world, arrogant and rude, and he doesn't know if the chess move last night was right or wrong, He Zhongde was very disturbed.

When he came to the back hall, Gao Chong asked curiously, "What's the matter with He Mingfu?"

He Zhongde was startled, and asked with a smile: "My lord, you forget things, I don't know what you said last night...".

"Don't worry about this matter, for the sake of your sincerity, I won't let Tian Zongxian touch you," Gao Chonghun waved his hand generously and said carelessly.

He Zhongde was dumbfounded immediately, "This, that young master doesn't check Tian's house?"

"What to check?" Gao Chong was also stunned, "Is there anything to check?"

He Zhongde became anxious immediately, and was about to speak when his personal guard came to report: Taoist Huan is here.

Gao Chong raised his brows, this speed is quite fast, this person will never know where the limit is unless he is forced, just to find out the situation overnight, this Huan Fasi really has something.

"He Mingfu wait for me, it's a private matter", Gao Chong got up and said with a smile, then immediately walked to the back, waved his hand and said, "Let him come here".

"My lord is busy first," He Zhongde hurriedly got up and said, "I am waiting here."

Then, seeing an old Taoist priest with a handsome appearance striding in, He Zhongde was very curious, Taoist priests, private matters... why did Taoist priests come here, Taoist priests usually make alchemy, could it be... Zhuangyang Dan!

He Zhongde felt that he had guessed right, what a licentious and shameless son of an aristocratic family, he was really shameless, and he just suffered for Si Niang.

"Aye, please have some tea", at this time He Siniang came up with tea.

He Zhongde stood up abruptly, tightly grasping He Siniang's hand, with a sad expression on his face, "Siniang, I've suffered so much for you, Aye, I'm sorry...".

He Siniang was confused, "Aye, what are you doing? Sit down quickly."
