Chapter 512 Key People
The death of Shi Lian by Song Nanzhang shocked the whole city. Originally, it was not a big deal for the murder of adultery men and women, but it was a little difficult to understand that he almost fought with the governor An Weixue in front of the public. Under such a great pressure, he took Shi Lian's life.
What's more, most of the officials in the city knew that Shi Lian was the staff of the king of Anhua, and An Weixue also came to rescue him by the order of the king of Anhua. Song Nan's move was obviously fighting against the king of Anhua and killing Shi Lian under the eyes of the king of Anhua, which was even more incredible.
Some people laugh at Song Nan's stupidity and ignorant of current affairs, so what about the court members? In Ningxia Town, Anhua Wangzu can cover the sky with one hand, which is a good show. Some people also admired Song Nan and sweated coldly. In this way, Song Nan may not be able to live in Ningxia Town. Most people speculate that Song Nan will leave Ningxia immediately. Unless he is a bad guy, he will understand the truth that Ningxia Town can't stay for a long time.
However, Song Nan not only did not leave, but acted more and more in a high-profile way. Previously, Jinyiwei only stationed in Guanxue Building and did not swagger on the street. Now, together with more than 600 Jinyiwei Flag School, including thousands of households in Ningxia Town, patrolled in the streets, under the banner of Jinyiwei to make peace in Ningxia Town. The guests seized the master.
The big move that people expected of King Anhua has not arrived. Even the governor's office, the general's government, and the town's government office have remained silent, as if no one pointed out Song Nan's actions. However, everyone knows that behind this silence, there must be a great storm brewing.
On the night of the 18th of the first lunar month, another spring snow fell. An uninvited guest came from the snow observation tower. The man was wrapped in a black barn, only his eyes were exposed, and suddenly looked at it, which was really a little penetrating. This man did not visit Song Nan. Under the leadership of the three-sided chief system officer and his personal guard, the man was led to Yang Yiqing's residence on the second floor. The two closed the door and talked secretly for half a night. At dawn, the man left silently.
Naturally, all this can't escape Song Nan's eyes, but Yang Yiqing is not clear, and Song Nan will not ask. Recently, Yang Yiqing has been out of the city and is a little silent when he comes back. Song Nan also knows these things. He believes that Yang Yiqing will not be silent when it is time to say.
The next morning, before Song Nan got up, Yang Yiqing came to Song Nan's room. Song Nan looked at Yang Yiqing dressed neatly, his eyes full of blood, and knew that he had not slept all night.
"Lord Song, get up and go with me."
Song Nan asked, "Where are you going?"
Yang Yiqing said, "Don't ask, you will know when you go there. I've been busy for a few days, and I finally have some clues. Today's matter can't be solved by the adults, so please follow me."
Song Nan didn't ask much. She quickly got up to wash her, had a simple breakfast, and boarded the carriage in plain clothes at Yang Yiqing's request. The two only brought more than a dozen attendants, ordered people to draw away the eyes and ears waiting on the left side of the Guanxue Building, quietly passed through the alleyways and all the way south.
After being sure that no one followed, the carriage changed its way east. In the carriage, Yang Yiqing told him something about his busy work these days. Since that day, Song Nan and Yang Yiqing talked about the evil heart of King Anhua, Yang Yiqing was ready to investigate this matter. Yang Yiqing was an official in Shaanxi in his early years. Although he was later impeached and lost his old friend in the northwest for more than ten years, he was also There are several, one of whom is a general named Peng Yue, who is now stationed in Guyuan.
Yang Yiqing also did a lot of screening very carefully before deciding to go to Guyuan to see Peng Yue. Peng Yue was not only a good relationship with himself in those years, but also a good official, but also because Peng Yue had served as a deputy commander in Ningxia Town, which was the key.
After a long talk with Peng Yue, he learned from Peng Yue that he had a good relationship with Qiu Yue, the current guerrilla general of the General of the General Headquarters of Ningxia and the avant-garde commander of Ningxia, and Qiu Yue is now stationed in the Yuquan camp west of Ningxia Town, guarding more than a dozen pass fortresses in the eastern foothills of Helan.
Yang Yiqing revealed some vague doubts about King Anhua to Peng Yue. Peng Yue was shocked and immediately understood Yang Yiqing's intention and volunteered to visit Qiu Yue to test Qiu Yue for Yang Yiqing to find out how many soldiers and horses in Ningxia Town the King of Anhua had held in his hands, so as to judge whether the King of Anhua had changed again. Heart. Peng Yue came to Guanxue Lou last night. After going to Yuquan Camp, he specially passed through Guanxue Lou and described in detail how he met Qiu Yue with Yang Yiqing, so he had today's trip.
Song Nan said, "So where are we going?"
Yang Yiqing said, "We are going to meet Qiu Yue. According to Peng Yue's words, Qiu Yue did not seem to be in the arms of King Anhua, but King Anhua has hinted several times. Yesterday, King Anhua invited Qiu Yue back to Ningxia Town for a banquet and mentioned this matter again."
Song Nan frowned and said, "It is still inconclusive whether Qiu Yu is from the king of Anhua. What's the significance of today's meeting? Do you want words to test him? This is suspected of frightening the snake.
Yang Yiqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, this meeting was agreed by Qiu Yue. We want to test him. In fact, he also wants to test us. According to Peng Yue's judgment of Qiu Yue, he will never turn to King Anhua; Qiu Yue asked you to go by name, so I have to invite you today."
Song Nan nodded. There are some risks in this trip. In today's situation, he is the target of public criticism. Maybe this hatred is not sure. But Yang Yiqing affirmed that Song Nan certainly believed Yang Yiqing's judgment. After all, the eunuch sea has been ups and down for decades. Although people are pedantic, they still have some skills, let alone take unnecessary risks under such circumstances.
On a remote street in Dongcheng, the shops on both sides of the street were also depressed. The carriage stopped in front of a teahouse with a black tarpaulin. Yang Yiqing and Song Nan got off the carriage one after another and looked around. The long street in the heavy snow was empty.
The shopkeeper took a nap against the stove and saw a guest rushing forward to say, "guest, do you want to drink tea or eat?"
Yang Yiqing said, "Is there an uncle Qiu here?"
The shopkeeper said hurriedly, "Yes, in the private room inside. Two, please.
Song Nan and Yang Yiqing stepped in, passed a small courtyard and walked to a hut with curtains hanging behind them. In the afterglow of Song Nan's eyes, they saw a slight footsteps around the courtyard, and several pairs of eyes were peeping in the cracks behind the windows and doors of the surrounding rooms, and their hearts couldn't help but feel awe.
"Grandpa Qiu is in there, please come in." The shopkeeper lifted the curtain and let Song Nan and Yang Yiqing enter, put a pot of hot tea on the table and left.
The room was dark. Suddenly, he entered the room from the bright snow. He couldn't see the situation in the room clearly. Song Nan narrowed his eyes and regained his eyesight after a moment. Then he saw a middle-aged man sitting in a gray coat leather hat at the corner of the tea table. The man was looking at himself brightly.
Song Nan met Qiu Yu once when she first came to Ningxia Town. It was at the banquet to pick up the wind. She also took Zhou Dong in public and gave Ningxia officials a down. At that time, Qiu Yu was also present, but wearing armor, he sat quietly in the corner and didn't talk much, which also gave Song Nan the impression. It's not deep. At this moment, I changed my clothes and almost didn't recognize it.
Qiu Yu stood up and arched his hand and said, "Lord Yang, Marquis Song, the subordinate is polite."
Song Nan and Yang Yiqing returned the salute. Qiu Yu stretched out his hand and motioned them to sit down and said, "For the purpose of caution, I chose this remote teahouse, which is too simple. I hope you two adults can forgive me."
Song Nan said, "It's always good to be careful. Are those people outside your people?"
Qiu Yu was a little surprised and immediately nodded and said, "It's my men. There is no malice, just in case."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will bring the guards of the royal palace to arrest you?"
Qiu Yu was stunned and then smiled, "To be honest, I was really a little afraid a few days ago, but now I'm not afraid at all. Lord Song is afraid that I will wait here with the guards of the royal palace."
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Everyone was afraid that the other party would be unfavorable to themselves. This just shows that they are not the princes, and a subtle sense of closeness arises spontaneously.
Qiu Yu gently clapped his hands, and four men suddenly appeared after the mantle in the corner, which scared Yang Yiqing and Song Nan. Just now, they didn't find the four people in the room.
Qiu Yue smiled apologetically, turned his head and ordered, "Take someone to guard the door of the store. No one is allowed to come in. If there is anything strange, please report it to me immediately. The people next door and the porch have also been withdrawn.
A man agreed in a low voice and silently went out to Song Nan and Yang Yiqing. The corridor stepped on, and after a moment it was silent.
"Lord Yang, has Peng Yue left?" Qiu Yu broke the silence and asked.
"I left the town and returned to Guyuan in the early morning." Yang Yiqing said, "General Qiu, Lord Song and I came here today..."
"Lord Yang, needless to say, the subordinate is very clear in his heart. The subordinate has long wanted to ask the two adults to get together, but for many reasons, he has to be careful. Today, what do the two adults have to ask and what they want to know, but the subordinates know nothing." Qiu Yu said in a low voice.
Song Nan nodded with a smile and said, "General Qiu is quick to speak quickly. We won't beat around the bush. General Qiu, one of the questions I want to know most is, what does Prince Anhua want to do? Can you give me an answer according to your judgment?"
