After the immortal disappeared

Everyone had to take the money.

At this time, a guard named Yangshan came up behind him, and Wanqi Feng asked him in a low voice: "Where is Fubao?"

"He has arrived, found someone, and is ready."

The streets were full of people, so it was inconvenient to say it clearly, but Wanqi Feng still understood:

Wang Fubao has arrived at Shuangshan Villa.

"Okay, let's wait too."

He was in the big restaurant opposite the palace gate, and he booked a window seat on the second floor.

Now the business in Tianshui City is also extremely depressed. Only the shops near the palace are still running well, and the consumption here is not much affected.

From the moment the evidence collected by He Lingchuan was delivered to Yuwenxu, He Lingchuan's plan officially began.

In fact, his plan is very simple, with only one core idea:

Disrupt the plans of other forces-

Disrupt Qingyang's plan.

Disrupt Bai Ziqi's plan.

Even disrupt the plan of King Yao!

Every force here has made a plan. As long as he fiddles with it and creates variables, it can cause a series of wonderful chain reactions.

In this battle between dragons and tigers, if King Yao wins in the end, He Lingchuan will give Yuwenxu a great credit this time.

If Qingyang and Bai Tan win, then whether Yuwenxu hands over the evidence or not, the outcome will be the same.

About half an hour later, a team of palace guards suddenly rushed out of the west gate of the palace city, whipping their horses and running on the main road with smoke and dust.

Passers-by hurriedly dodged, and the palace guards also shouted: "Get out of the way, the public servants are on urgent business!"

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and it went away quickly.

Wanqi Feng, who was sitting in the restaurant, saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief:

It's done, the most critical step is done!

The master's plan is about to take effect.

He reached into his arms, quietly broke a thousand grass knot, and then stood up: "Check out!"

...

Frost Mountain Villa, north of Tianshui City

This villa is not only one of the most high-end inns in Tianshui City, it has exquisite gardens, and uses formations to keep the grass and trees green and the flowers blooming in winter. At the same time, it also privately hides two scenic spots in the city, which only the distinguished guests in the store are qualified to appreciate.

The panic of food shortage did not spread to the north of the city. People on the street were still calm, and the clothes and makeup of dignitaries and ladies were still exquisite; and the quiet and beautiful Frost Mountain Villa was as always, unaffected by the outside world.

But a loud shout broke the silence:

"Get out of here, get out of here, all of you!"

A man ran out of the side door of Frost Mountain Villa and rushed on the street.

Two people were knocked away by him, and he didn't even look back.

Dozens of palace guards suddenly emerged from the corner of the street and blocked his way. The man immediately turned his head and went into the alley, but there were also figures flashing in the alley.

More than a hundred palace guards rushed out of Shuangshan Villa, and the leader pointed at him and shouted: "Surrender, I promise you will suffer less!"

The man suddenly grabbed a knife, put it against his neck and shouted: "Why are you arresting me! I am Shi Songwei - Shi Songen Shi Sima's cousin, you arrested the wrong person, arrested the wrong person! Shi Songen is my cousin, he is my cousin, do you know?"

"Do you dare to find Shi Songen? He can beat all of you Huang'er out!"

Tsk, this guy yelled in the street and even mentioned his name, it was hard to resist. But there was a high rock behind him, and his hoarse roar actually attracted surround sound and echoes.

"Wei - Wei -"

The head of the palace guards said angrily: "Catch him!"

The order from above was to quietly come to Shuangshan Villa to arrest Shi Songwei, and then take him back for trial.

As a result, as soon as they arrived at Shuangshan Villa, Shi Songwei ran to the side door and was not blocked by them in the villa. Now he was yelling in the street, alarming many pedestrians and residents.

The north of the city is the residential area of ​​dignitaries, and there are many houses and mansions near Shuangshan Villa.

How many people heard Shi Songwei's words?

He was too excited and stumbled on the stone edge of the road when he retreated.

The leader of the palace guards seized the opportunity to throw a locust stone and knocked the knife out of his hand. The others rushed up and pressed him to the ground and tied him up.

Strangely, after Shi Songwei was pressed to the ground, he stopped struggling for a moment and looked confused:

"What's going on?"

But he immediately shouted again: "Hey, what are you doing?"

The head of the palace guards hated his impatience, and blocked his mouth with a cloth strip, and ordered his left and right: "Escort him back to the palace, quickly!"

The palace guards threw the captive on the horseback, not daring to stop for a moment, and rushed all the way.

Before passers-by and nearby residents could figure out what was going on, the palace guards had already gone far away.

They came and went in a hurry.

After they left, Wang Fubao appeared from the corner of the street and followed them.

This time, he followed them to the west gate of Yao Palace.

Wang Fubao saw Shi Songwei being taken into the palace by the palace guards, and then he turned around and rode his horse to the northern suburbs of Tianshui City.

The master said that once Shi Songwei was taken into the palace, Qingyang Regent would not have time to silence him.

This means that the master's plan was successfully launched!

￥￥￥￥￥

The sun passed the zenith, and it was lunch time.

The chef of Youhu Cottage already knows Qingyang's taste very well, and can even make a few special dishes of Lingxu City, which taste almost the same.

Qingyang's diet is mainly light, and he doesn't like overly strong flavors. So there is a "original taste of golden needles" at noon today.

A kind of river fish is a specialty of Tianshui City. It feeds on snails and other shellfish and has a sweet taste. The cook used three kilograms of big fish to make the soup, boiled all the meat and bones, then filtered out the residue, mixed it with pork bone soup, pigeon soup, added a little milk, and slowly simmered three vegetables: golden needles, gallinopsis fungi and bamboo fungus. bacteria.

Daylily, also called daylily.

This dish is soupy and watery, and looks very plain at first glance. It is warm and gentle in the mouth. If you sip it carefully, the umami flavor will suddenly explode between your lips and teeth.

Qingyang is almost 200 years old. What good things have he not eaten in this life? Her preference has long since gone back to the original halal flavor from the rich red sauce.

But using golden needles in food has a bad connotation for her. After all, this cook is not from Bega and does not understand these taboos.

As people get older, they pay more attention to things.

But the soup was still very good. Just when Qingyang was about to take a few more sips, Yuan Xuan ran in and said quickly: "Palace Master, Tianshui City has used a mirror to summon the Shi family and they have been arrested!"

He was rarely so rude. Seeing his anxious face, Qingyang's heart sank: "Shi family? Who?"

She made no sense, how could she know about the Shi family?

Yuan Xuan quickly explained: "The Shi brothers in Xincheng were once subordinates of General Bai. They also participated in the grain collection operations in the past few months. Just now, their cousin Shi Yiwei was arrested at Beishuangshan Villa in Tianshui City and has been escorted Enter the palace!"

Participate in harvesting grain? ! Qingyang stood up angrily: "I clearly told Bai Tan not to interfere in the matter of harvesting grain!"

If you don't intervene, nothing will be found on him.

"That was, that was three months ago, before you told him. Then the Shi family stopped."

"Idiot!" Qingyang slapped the table hard, causing the hard wooden table to crack and fall apart on the spot.

Details, details, how many times had she emphasized that a thousand-mile dike collapsed in an ant nest!

These people are really unreliable.

She suppressed her anger.

What's the use of being angry? The immediate question is the urgent question: "Is Shi Yiwei an insider?"

"Yes." Yuan Xuan replied, "The Shi brothers are both warriors and know nothing about business. The head of the Shi family and Shi Yiwei are responsible for the family industry. Therefore, they actually harvest the grain."

Qingyang immediately sensed something was wrong: "Why is Shi Yiwei in Tianshui City at this time?"

"That's not clear."

"Who caught the Shi family?" Qingyang only asked this question, then waved his hand and said, "That's it, this is not important anymore."

Shi Yiwei has been arrested. There is no point in pursuing this matter. What matters is what to do next!

"Where can I be imprisoned? Can I be silenced?"

Yuan Xuan immediately wrote on the water mirror to convey her question.

After a while, a reply appeared on the mirror:

"Difficult. Shi Yiwei was not taken to the prison, but sent directly to the Imperial Study Room!"

Qingyang said bitterly, "Damn it."

There have been too many officials who have "accidentally died" recently. King Yao also knew that there were spies in the palace. Once he caught someone, he would interrogate them personally, without giving them a chance to silence Shi Yiwei!

Then, King Yao will soon know that the Shi brothers participated in creating the food shortage in Yao country.

"Where are the Shi brothers?"

This time, Shuijingshu took a long time to reply: "Shi Yi'en is in the east of Tianshui City, and Shi Yiyang is in Xincheng."

Too bad.

Before Qingyang could speak, small letters appeared one after another on the water mirror:

"People have been sent to find Shi Yi'en."

Qingyang shook his head: "Shut up!"

At this juncture, Shi Yien must die!

He must not be allowed to confess.

Shui Jing quickly replied: "Okay."

Qingyang stood up and walked around twice quickly.

Yuan Xuan had never seen her so dignified. This Shi Yi'en, the palace master didn't know his name a quarter of an hour ago, but now he has caused her so much trouble?

Qingyang does face a big problem:

Her pre-planned plan was disrupted!

Sure enough, since the case of the elixir, she has always had bad luck, and no plan can be executed perfectly.

However, she needs to make a decision now!

Incredible delay.

Qingyang took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Notify everyone that our plan has begun!"

If you don’t do one thing and don’t stop doing the other, just go ahead!

Yuan Xuan looked up in surprise, and the water mirror condensed for several breaths before the font appeared:

"when?"

"Now! Immediately! Immediately!" Qingyang said solemnly, "Don't waste a moment!"

The writing on the water mirror is also a bit sloppy. It is obvious that the person who wrote it is in agitated and unbelievable mood:

"Why?"

"The Shi brothers have been serving as officials for many years and have dealt with countless officials, but their origins are always tied to Bai Tan!"

Qingyang really sees things like court and family background clearly than anyone else.

No matter how great the Shi brothers have been over the years, there is always a mark on them:

They are the old subordinates of General Bai Canfang!

The officials in the court are divided into factions and stick to each other's side. Masters and apprentices, blood relations, in-laws, superiors and subordinates, these are all strong ties that maintain the interests between people and between officials.

The origin of an official cannot be changed easily.

Change means betrayal.

From then on, it was difficult to tolerate the bureaucracy.

Therefore, even if the Shi brothers are not arrested in the end, King Yao will still be suspicious of Bai Tan after all!
