After the immortal disappeared

He Lingchuan sighed: "Xiangludou is really a good thing. It's a pity that the meeting between me and the Bu family was canceled at the last minute, so we can't negotiate this business for the time being."

Speaking of this, the smile on Yu Wenxu's face faded.

"This year has been the most difficult for me, Wang Shoudian. General Xue was suddenly killed, and the Qingyang Supervisor suddenly launched an attack. Tianshui City is now in turmoil."

He Lingchuan asked with concern: "Is it okay for Yuwen's family?"

"No harm, my family's business is legal and upright, and I am not afraid of Qingyang Supervisor's investigation!" Yu Wenxu looked righteous and confused, "However, in the past few days, rumors have been flying all over the palace and inside and outside the palace, and people are panicked; those under the Supervisor are Wherever the Bega people pass by, be careful and fearful!”

Qingyang's men are everywhere in Tianshui City, just like vultures circling in search of prey. Who among these officials is not afraid?

When he said this, He Lingchuan understood. The Yuwen family probably knew what Qingyang was investigating, and they also knew that it had nothing to do with the Yuwen family, so they acted like it had nothing to do with them.

This is what He Lingchuan wants to find out: "Aren't the people under Qingyang Supervisor also powerful?"

"The leader's surname is He, and his name is He Yang. He is a confidant she brought from the Qing Palace in Lingxu City. It is said that he has extraordinary cultivation and is ruthless. The guards of the Bu family had conflicts with them, and several of them were defeated on the spot; and The person surnamed He is not a good person, and refuses all invitations and overtures from outside, thus losing face to many people.”

Hearing what he said, He Lingchuan thought of Xi Yunhe. Qingyang can always teach such loyal and capable subordinates, and he is really good at recognizing and employing people.

He twirled the cup and hesitated before saying, "Brother Yuwen, I want to ask you something."

"You tell me, I will tell you everything I know."

"Before coming to Tianshui City, I didn't expect Qingyang Supervisor to be so powerful, but when I saw that the officials and generals who were reported by her... were unable to fight back!" He smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I I feel uneasy. You also know that I still have a grudge against Qingyang Jianguo. I don’t want to experience the horror of being in Lingxu City again.”

He paused for a moment: "I plan to give you gifts in the next two days and return first. I'm just a businessman. I came to Yao Country just hoping to expand business routes, and I didn't want to fall into such a big whirlpool."

This statement makes it very clear. Qingyang also killed anyone he pointed at in Tianshui City. Why did he, He Lingchuan, stay here? Are you waiting to be killed by someone's finger?

He was invited by King Yao. If King Yao can't even protect his own ministers and generals, how can he protect a mere foreign businessman?

With Qingyang's current power, it is normal for him to have such worries. Yu Wenxu waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother He, you are worrying too much. No matter how powerful the Qingyang Supervisor is, he can't point his finger at you. Look at my Yuwen family, how can there be any fear?"

King Yao asked He Lingchuan to attend, but the latter ran away early. Did he visit Yu Wenxu before running away?

No, he had to stabilize He Lingchuan.

He Lingchuan was still worried: "How do you say this?"

"The key to the successful prosecution of Qingyang Supervisor lies in four words, 'targeted'." Yu Wenxu hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the secret. Anyway, this is not a secret in the royal court, and anyone who is interested can see it at a glance, "She used her strength Those arrested and beaten were all officials related to Huang Liushou."

"Huang Liushou?" He Lingchuan looked surprised, "Huang Shen's father?"

"That's right." Yu Wenxu said in a low voice, "The Huang Liushou case involves a lot of things. You know the things in the officialdom."

Huang Liushou pleaded guilty and was imprisoned, but was executed five days later. There are many doubts about this process.

"Then why didn't you start an attack earlier or later? Why do you choose to do it now?"

Yu Wenxu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Finally he said: "Don't you want to use me, Wang Shoudian, to show us... us a little bit of color?"

The soul-capturing mirror sneered: "Really? Is it that simple?"

He Lingchuan raised his head and drank half a glass of wine. After all, Yu Wenxu was not Gu Xuan, and his insincere words were revealed.

The biggest change in Yao Kingdom recently is the death of Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng. Qingyang raised the issue at this time, and 90% of the case was related to these two people.

Judging from Qian Yu's accounts, Huang Liushou had a close relationship with Xue Zongwu. When He Lingchuan burned down the accounting room in Shuangxi County, Xue Zongwu became extremely nervous - it seemed that he also knew that Qingyang was checking for evidence against him.

These officials who were recently reported were also related to Huang Liushou, and Qingyang had already mastered the clues and evidence.

In the blink of an eye, He Lingchuan figured it out.

Rather than saying that these officials were related to Huang Liushou, it would be better to say——

It’s related to Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng!

The post of being left behind might be the last word in other places, but it would be very depressing in Tianshui City where there are many princes and nobles. How could these officials form a network of interests extending in all directions with him as the center?

Huang Liushou is not enough.

Xue Zongwu was extremely powerful during his lifetime, Qi Yunsheng had a deep background, and King Yao was backing him, so he became a roadblock in front of Qingyang. With him blocking it, many clues cannot be investigated.

Now that Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng are dead and unable to stop Qingyang, the latter can flex his muscles!

He is indeed a veteran who has been immersed in Bejia's officialdom for more than a hundred years. His understanding of the current situation and his control of opportunities are quite precise.

After thinking about the inside story, He Lingchuan also remained calm: "I have nothing to do with Huang Liushou, so Qingyang Supervisor won't come to trouble me?"

"Let me put it bluntly, Qingyang Supervisor has been very busy recently, and he may not have the time to trouble Brother He." Yu Wenxu smiled, "Just put your heart back in your stomach and wait peacefully to attend my Wang's birthday ceremony. "

"Brother Yuwen said this, I am really relieved." He Lingchuan raised his glass, "I hope Qingyang Supervisor will not see me yet, otherwise the post house where I live will be destroyed again."

Yu Wenxu knew his experience in Lingxu City and couldn't help laughing: "Now Tianshui City has one sentry every ten steps and one post every five steps. It is the safest place in the world. Brother He, don't worry."

Xue Zongwu was assassinated, and King Yao's Shoudian was approaching, which put Tianshui City into a state of extremely high alert.

Who dares to choose to commit a crime at this time?

The two chatted for a long time. They were full of wine and food, and there was only leftover soup on the table. At this time, the servant came to report that a distinguished guest was coming to the door.

He Lingchuan stood up immediately and said: "Brother Yuwen is busy first, I have to go back."

Yu Wenxu got up and walked him to the door, just in time to welcome the new visitor.

He Lingchuan walked around the city for two hours.

The Yao King's birthday is approaching, and Tianshui City is busy with traffic, but it still looks so lively. But He Lingchuan felt that the city was shrouded in dark clouds, and there was an oppressive darkness hidden behind the bright lights.

He also found a cold drink stall by the canal, and the vendor cut up the fruit and sold it. It's almost June now, and the weather is getting hotter. There are always people coming to the waterside at night to cool off and eat a few mouthfuls of watermelon. The topics they talk about are nothing more than King Yao Shoudian and the death of Xue Zongwu——

Yes, the big news has finally spread widely in the market.

In just half an hour, He Lingchuan heard all kinds of outrageous remarks, and many people were talking about the conspiracy and tricks used by Emperor Jiuyou to kill General Xue.

But there is only one premise for all discussions:

Xue Zongwu was indeed killed by Emperor Jiuyou. This is an ironclad fact.

From now on, the name of Emperor Jiuyou will be resounding throughout Tianshui City and Yao Kingdom.

By the time He Lingchuan walked back to the post house, the night was getting dark.

￥￥￥￥￥

It's almost June, but deep in the Yao Palace there is still an old pear blossom stubbornly holding its head covered with frost, refusing to wither.

There is an ice spring underground, which can be used to cool down in midsummer, but now it is filled with cold air. There is no use blocking the lid, as the surrounding stone slabs will become frosty.

Every time King Yao passes under the pear tree, he rubs his hands subconsciously. When he was young, he could jump into the ice spring and swim back and forth, but now he just wants to avoid it.

Time is not forgiving.

He had just sat down in the Imperial Study Room, and before he had a chance to take a sip of hot water, a palace official came to report:

"Qingyang Supervisor has arrived!"

"please."

When Qingyang walked into the imperial study, King Yao half-closed his eyes and slowly drank a glass of warm water.

Looking in the darkroom, we can see that he is getting older and older, and his double eyelids have drooped into three eyelids.

But Qingyang knew that he shouldn't take this old thing lightly.

People's shrewdness is not directly proportional to their age, otherwise she would have been invincible in the world. But this old guy kept trying to hold on to Yao Guo and wanted to suppress her.

Self-righteous cleverness, naivety of a small country with few people, ha.

Qingyang sat down by himself and chatted about his family affairs: "I just passed by the old pear tree and saw someone digging soil underneath?"

"Yes, although the pear blossoms are in full bloom, they are a bit cold. I would like to plant a new crabapple there."

"Oh, you have to be careful, don't damage the root with a few shovels." The palace man served the tea respectfully, and Qingyang took a sip, "That tree is old, and it will be difficult to maintain it after it is dug up."

King Yao glanced at her. The old pear tree beside the cold spring was planted the year he was born. It is still fifty-nine years old. For a tree, it is in its prime.

Qingyang still thinks it's old? She is older than the pear tree!

King Yao chuckled: "Why is it so delicate? The old tree has been kept in the deep palace for many years, and even the cold air cannot kill it. The soil under the root is harder than iron, and it is not easy for anyone to dig it up. Today, several trees were broken. A spade and a pickaxe.”

"Really?" Qingyang said slowly, "I hope to see pear blossoms and crabapples blooming together next year. But I heard that there are many trees planted near Hanquan, and they never survive more than two months."

She has only been here for half a year, but she even knows about such trivial matters in the palace? King Yao was slightly stunned, but said calmly: "If you plant too many trees, one of them will survive. Didn't the pear trees grow back then?"

He smiled: "I heard that Jian Guo likes fruit wine. I have a batch of newly brewed pear wine here. I will send a few jars to Jian Guo later."

Qingyang nodded: "The king is interested."

When the imperial study room fell silent, both of them knew that the gossip was over.

Who speaks first?

The palace servant came up to refill the tea, and they both held cups and sipped slowly.

Qingyang was not in a hurry at all.

The last few times she had conversations with King Yao, both parties got straight to the point. Rumor had it that King Yao was so angry that he threw a glass of wine afterward, so how could he be so round and round like this time?

This is what King Yao wants from her.
