Horse on the World

Chapter 429 The carp takes off the golden hook

Returning to the mansion, Shang Haibo unexpectedly saw a visitor, Lu Yiming, one of the Dingzhou Troika.Dingfu merged the three prefectures, and Dongxiduhufu, in name, they were all at the same level, like Lu Yiming knew Dingzhou, Xu Yunfeng knew Fuzhou, Jiewei knew Bingzhou, Luo Daoming, and Yan Nanfei served as Dongxidu respectively. Hufu, but in fact, the two prefectures, including Duhufu, are under the control of Lu Yiming, the magistrate of Dingzhou, and this has laid the political foundation for Lu Yiming to compete with Shang Haibo and Qingfeng. .

Seeing Lu Yiming, Shang Haibo smiled.

"Old Lu, your news is well-informed!"

Lu Yiming snorted, "You flaunt your presence in the market, lest others will not know that you have entered the Hou's mansion, even the blind and deaf will know it, am I not as good as the blind and deaf?"

Shang Haibo sat down in silence.

Lu Yiming let out a heavy breath and opened his mouth to speak, Shang Haibo raised his arms suddenly, "Old Lu, I know what you came for, you don't need to say it, I have my own opinion."

Lu Yiming looked at him steadfastly, "Old Shang, when you and I came to Dingzhou at the beginning of the year, we were both down and out, and we were friends in need. Endless, since when did the cracks begin to appear between the two of us?" The words were very sad.

Shang Haibo glanced at him in surprise, and was moved for a moment. Lu Yiming could come today because he really regarded Shang Haibo as a friend.

"Old Lu, I know what you're going to say, but I can learn from the sky with my loyalty. I ask myself to stand up straight and sit firmly!" Shang Haibo said with a straight voice and a strong voice.

Lu Yiming shook his head slowly, "Old Shang, both of you and I have read history books and used history as a mirror, but you said that throughout the ages, a few ministers who interfered in the emperor's family affairs ended well."

"The commander-in-chief is a bit confused at the moment, and we, as the courtiers, have to guard against his incipient progress. Even if the commander-in-chief blames him in the future, I have no complaints." Shang Haibo said loudly.

"Stupid!" Lu Yiming shouted, glanced at Shang Haibo, slowed down his tone, and said, "Besides, Director Qingfeng has made great contributions to the rise of Dingzhou. What he has done is nothing compared to us. Why do you always have such a prejudice against her? Why are you so sure that she will become a scourge? "

"The more capable she is, the more serious she will be in the future!" Shang Haibo said coldly.

Seeing that the words were not speculative, Lu Yiming stood up, "Old Shang, today is the last time I persuade you, we are friends, but Qingfeng, although not my friend, is mine Comrade comrades, if you two are fighting, as long as you don’t endanger the great cause of Dingzhou, I will just ignore it and neither will help each other, but only one of you will endanger the great cause of Dingzhou. It may be that I want to help the other party. I will not hesitate to turn against you!"

Shang Haibo also stood up, "Lao Lu, you and I are different. You believe that people are inherently good, but I believe that human beings are inherently evil. I will take precautions and kill all possibilities. I know what you mean."

Lu Yiming was extremely annoyed, he stomped his feet resentfully, and walked away. Behind him, Shang Haichang bowed and saw him off. He knew that from today onwards, the friendship between the two would end here, and from now on, they would be like Lu Yiming and Qingfeng. In the same way, it is only possible to become comrades-in-arms.

"Master!" Shang Jing bowed his head to one side, looking in shock at his usually calm master with a line of tears falling from the corner of his eyes.

"Bring me some jugs of wine, I'm not going to get drunk today!" Shang Haibo waved his hands and walked towards the study without looking back.

That night, Shang Haibo was so drunk that he lost consciousness.

Dingzhou, Gaojiadian, this is a small place that can’t be found on the map of Dingzhou, but because Dingzhou Chidao passed here, it made this small village with only a few families lively, for no other reason , within a radius of ten miles here, there is a place where you can rest your feet and sharpen your feet.

In a simple tea house on the side of the road, Qingfeng sat at the wooden table, drinking tea continuously, while looking at the end of the road, as if waiting for someone.Zhong Jing was sitting on the side, but the waist knife was placed on the table where it could be pulled out at any time, and she seemed a little nervous.

"Wang Qi, are you sure Yuan Fang will leave here?" Qingfeng asked Wang Qi, who was pretending to be the shopkeeper of the teahouse, lightly.

Wang Qi bowed and said: "Director, we got the news last night that after Yuan Fang came out of the waiting mansion, he went into the Liao Family Medicine Store. Early this morning, there was a convoy from the Liao Family Medicine Store going to Fuzhou , we can clearly see our hidden stakes, there is a carriage in the convoy, and it is Yuan Fang who is sitting on it."

Qingfeng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "Hou Mansion, he actually entered the Hou Mansion?"

"Miss, this must have something to do with Princess Qingcheng?" Zhong Jing said.

Qingfeng shook his head, "That's not what I said, I was thinking, how did Yuan Fang get in touch with Qingcheng. Qingcheng's subordinates have been closely watched by us, and Yuan Fang's power in Dingzhou is not only the Liao family medicine shop. In addition, others have been swept away, how did he get in touch with Qingcheng? Could it be that someone we don't know belongs to Yuan Fang, and this person can freely enter and leave the Houfu?"

Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, and his fingers stopped, "Ah Jing, after you go back, ask the Internal Affairs Department to start from this aspect, and see who Princess Qingcheng has met recently? Or has anyone visited her?"

"Ah Jing understands!" Zhong Jing nodded.

Looking at Zhong Jing's face, Qingfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Ah Jing, what's wrong, a little nervous?"

Zhong Jing smiled, "Miss, that Yuan Fang is extremely skillful, and the accompanying guards are definitely not mediocre. You should avoid it? You can come out after we take him down!"

Qingfeng sneered, "When I came back from Luoyang, I was chased by him all the way like a stray dog. Now that I'm back on my territory, is it possible that I still have to avoid him? I'd like to see how he escaped this time? No matter how skilled you are, you can still stop the countless crossbows here!"

Seeing that the young lady was angry, Zhong Jing stuck out her tongue quietly and gave Wang Qi a wink, Wang Qi nodded knowingly.

Jingle bells rang in the distance, and the sound of horseshoes came from a distance. Wang Qi glanced at it, nodded and said, "Director, they are here!" Rubbing his hands excitedly, "This Yuan Fang probably never imagined that we would be here Waiting for him here, hehe, the director went to Fuzhou, just to lure this guy to Dingzhou to throw himself into the trap. Unexpectedly, he really hurried to get caught. This time I caught him, I will definitely We must make good use of him to avenge the brothers who died in his hands last time."

The motorcade of Liao's Medicine Store consisted of dozens of horse-drawn carriages, except for two of which were for people, the others were all flatbed trucks. The boss Liao Yigui personally escorted the goods this time.

"Guys, the Gao's store is just ahead, let's drink a bowl of tea before we go on our way! We must go to Fuzhou today. Bring the medicinal materials back, the state capital is waiting to collect them!" Liao Yigui glanced at the front of him. Teahouse, said with a smile to the men driving the cars.

"Well, the boss is so kind, why don't you just reward each of the brothers with a bowl of bar!" A man shouted loudly from behind, causing a burst of laughter.

"Wang Er, you son of a small mountain, you have poured all your money into yellow soup. You deserve it because you can't get your wife. I'm afraid you won't have to drink the wine. When the medicinal materials come back from this trip, I'll let you drink your fill!" Liao Yigui laughed out loud.

"Then thank you boss Luo!" A group of guys shouted loudly.

When they arrived at the gate of the teahouse, the guys were busy tying up the animals immediately, while Liao Yigui strode towards the teahouse, "Guys, prepare some big bowls of tea for me, send them to my guys outside, and make another pot for me." Good tea!" After entering the teahouse, Liao Yigui shouted.

"Boss Liao, I invited you some tea today, how about sitting here?" A pleasant voice came to Liao Yigui's ears, he turned his head suddenly, and saw two women sitting on one side of the teahouse looking at him with smiles.

Liao Yigui's legs went limp in an instant, and he almost fell to the ground. Of course he recognized this person, Qingfeng, Director of Statistics and Investigation Department.

"It's over, it's over!" These two words just kept spinning in my mind.

Qingfeng stood up with a smile, and walked towards Liao Yigui. Zhong Jing held the waist knife tightly, half-blocking Qingfeng with her body, and stepped forward a little.

"Boss Liao, where is Commander Yuan?" Qingfeng walked up to Liao Yigui and asked with a light smile.

Liao Yigui gritted his teeth and couldn't speak a word, Qingfeng shook his head and went out.

Wang Qi was one step ahead, and with a whistle, countless men in black suddenly poured out from all directions, either holding crossbows or machetes, and surrounded the convoy of Liao's Medicine Firm.

"My god!" Wang Er, who was begging for a drink earlier, had his legs go limp and sat down on the ground. As the old Dingzhou, he was no stranger to the clothes of these people. They belonged to the Department of Statistics and Investigation. uniform.

"Commander Yuan, since you are here in Dingzhou, why are you leaving without seeing me? Doesn't this make me, a landlord, feel quite embarrassed?" Qingfeng looked at one of the carriages and laughed loudly.

On both sides of the two carriages, two men who had always been pleasing to the eye suddenly raised their heads, stretched out their hands to touch the side of the carriage, and when they raised their hands, there were two gleaming steel knives. arrows, shooting at Qingfeng at the same time.

There was a sound of collapse, dozens of crossbows near the teahouse made sound at the same time, two hisses, the two fell heavily from the air, but they were already shot into sieves, blood poured out from countless small holes, Dye the loess red in an instant.

"Why bother!" Qingfeng sighed, "Commander Yuan, do you want me to force you?"

The door of the carriage opened slowly, and a middle-aged man in green clothes appeared in front of Qingfeng, and he laughed loudly: "The commander has already taken off the golden hook, what can Qingfeng do?" The man stood on the shaft, laughing endlessly , but the purple-black blood kept gushing out of his mouth, obviously he had taken the poison before getting out of the carriage, and he didn't want to let himself be captured alive by the Statistics and Investigation Department.

The smile on Qingfeng's face gradually faded, Liu Mei slowly stood up, the person in front of him was Yuan Fang, just a person with similar body and appearance.
