Chapter 454 Complex
Jiang Feng looked at Yang Yiqing and hesitated for a moment. Song Nan said, "Say, Lord Yang is not an outsider."
Jiang Feng hurriedly said, "Follow your order! Last year, the general office ordered to secretly investigate Prince Anhua's entry into Beijing, and he was humble..."
Song Nan waved his hand and stopped, "Wait, the prince of Anhua lives in Qingyang. It is also your responsibility to investigate Qingyang Jinyiwei Qianhu."
Jiang Feng said, "Your excellency doesn't know that King Anhua has been in this city for more than a year and has lived in King Qing's Mansion."
Song Nan looked at Yang Yiqing doubtfully. Yang Yiqing nodded and said, "This is the truth. King Qingding is only 13 years old this year, and he seems to have a hidden disease and weakness. As his uncle, the king of Anhua, he will stay in the Qingwang Palace and take care of many affairs instead of the king of Qingding. He is the closest blood, and it is understandable."
Song Nan nodded slowly and thought to himself: Now it's lively. It turns out that the prince of Anhua is also in Ningxia Town.
"Go on." Song Nandao.
Jiang Feng said, "Because the king of Anhua always lives in this town, this secret investigation naturally fell on us. Five of the 18 government flag schools killed this time are all brothers who specialize in secretly investigating the attack of Lord Yang. They don't dare to point out because they are afraid of uneasiness on the road. All the news leaked, so I just reported that 18 brothers were suddenly killed.
Yang Yiqing and Song Nan changed color at the same time. Yang Yiqing obviously knew about this for the first time. He looked at Song Nan and saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes.
"What do you think, Lord Yang?"
"Lord Song, I'm afraid it's not simple. I think all this is by no means accidental."
Song Nan nodded and said, "I also feel the same way. I'm afraid that the brothers found something. Some people didn't allow them to make it public, so they killed them."
Song Nan turned his head and asked Jiang Feng, "Have these 18 brothers reported the results of the survey before they died?"
Jiang Feng said, "Your Excellency, these 18 brothers are all secret agents of our government office. Many government officials do not know their identities. They are usually scattered all over the city and have different identities and disguises. I usually meet with them once in more than ten days to report on the latest progress. Seven days before their death, I met them once, and everything was recorded in the case file and submitted to the adults later.
Song Nan nodded. In front of Yang Yiqing, there are some things that can't be said clearly. Some of Jinyiwei's methods are not seen, and it is better to check the case files in private, so he said, "Send the files to me in the evening, and I want to check them in person."
Jiang Feng held his fist and responded.
Song Nan said to Yang Yiqing, "Lord Yang, let's talk about the preparation of the farmland first. Those things will be dealt with tomorrow. This is my purpose here. I taught Lord Yang to listen to it and increase my troubles."
Yang Yiqing naturally understands that it is inconvenient to listen to their internal affairs, but this matter involves himself, especially the killing of more than a dozen secret agents who investigated his attack can be said to be because of himself, so he is extremely uneasy.
"Lord Song, I'm really sorry that the noble brother died because of me. I'm really guilty. Please arrange time to allow Yang to go to worship the spirits of several dead brothers. In addition, I also want to see their family and take out money and food from Yang's salary to comfort them, otherwise I will not be at ease."
Song Nan nodded and said, "Lord Yang don't have to feel guilty. It's duty to investigate the affairs of my Jinyiwei Yamen. Their death was on official duty, but it's not because of you, Lord Yang. There is no problem with the worship. I will arrange it, but there is no need for pension. My government has its own thick shirts. For example, in addition, Lord Yang may not know the situation in my Jinyiwei. If he secretly explores his identity, he is basically fatherless, motherless, brotherless and brotherless, otherwise he can't perform his duties.
Yang Yiqing frowned and sighed a few times. Song Nan comforted him a few words, which made him feel a little better. After drinking two mouthfuls of hot tea to calm his mood, Yang Yiqing said, "The largest Tuntian thing just mentioned, the largest Tuntian in Ningxia Town is not a general in the army, but the Qingwang Mansion; 13,000 mu of land sealed by Qingwang Mansion, but now Under his name, there are only three manors and two horse farms, occupying 31,000 mu of land, and more than half of the fields are farmed by military households, which is a headache.
Song Nan frowned and said, "Even the prince can't openly occupy the army."
Yang Yiqing said, "As far as I know, the Qingwang Mansion has always been rules. When King Jing was in Ningxia Town, he was a famous virtuous king. He was once appointed to preside over the military affairs of Ning, Qing, Yan, Sui and the Fourth Guards, leading tens of thousands of troops and responsible for the safety of the border town. He also actively promoted the military system, and of course built Wangfu Zhuangtian, but the number was not large. King Jing also built gardens, built temples, and taught in Ningxia. Throughout his life, he was happy to recite poems, write poems, write essays, and make great achievements, and was also known as a talented prince. After his death, he left a will to ask his descendants Yongyou Ningxia Town, not to corrupt the law and embezzle public money. In fact, Qingkang Wang Qinghuai and other children who later attacked the emperor have always dared not violate their ancestral teachings. Even if the Qing royal palace gradually no longer has the right to lead the army and govern, it has never damaged the reputation of the royal palace.
Song Nan was surprised and said, "You just said that King Qingding was a 13-year-old child with a hidden disease. Why did a sick child prince occupy nearly 20,000 military camps? This is a little indescable."
"Here is the strangeness of the matter. King Qingding's disease is not an ordinary disease, but born with some dementia. Although he is 13 years old now, it is said that he is not good at speaking. I'm afraid he is only the wisdom of a five or six-year-old child. How can he be interested in Tuntian? Moreover, as far as I know, the royal palace maintained the standard of royal canoning before September of the year, but after September of the previous year, by the end of the year, so many acres of land suddenly increased, which was obviously tricky.
Song Nan was even more surprised. After coming to Ningxia Town, Song Nan's brain was almost dizzy, and all kinds of situations beyond his own judgment emerged one after another. That's all. The problem is that he has no concept and can't get any judgment, which is the most uncomfortable for Song Nan.
"Now that the Qingwang Mansion has become a big tiger, if I want to clean up the military camp, I must let the army of Qingwang Mansion retreat; Jiang Han and the officers of his subordinates also occupy a lot of land mu, but they said that if the farmland of Qingwang Mansion does not withdraw, why should they withdraw from the field mu? Now it pushes me into a dilemma."
"Didn't your excellency go to Qingwangfu to talk about this matter?" Song Nan's question seemed to blame Yang Yiqing for not daring to move the ground on the head of King Qing's Mansion.
Yang Yiqing can naturally hear his meaning, but Yang Yiqing is not angry, because he understands Song Nan's meaning. He has been here for more than half a year. The border military base of a small Ningxia town has no achievements. No wonder Song Nan is a little disdainful.
"Lord Song doesn't know anything, and there are more hidden things in this. My three-sided general government has the power to lead the military affairs, but I can only do the consolidation of the border villages. Although the emperor allowed me to rectify the army, the measurement of land mu, the increase or decrease of the proportion of land tax extraction, the division of good fields and bad fields, and the classification of grassland horse farms, these affairs But it was decided by the imperial envoy.
Song Nan said, "So that's it. I don't know who the emperor sent here. Just urge him to measure and verify it quickly."
Yang Yiqing said, "It is Zhou Dong, the minister of Dali Temple, who came under the order of the emperor. Does Lord Song know him?"
Song Nan frowned and thought, "Zhou Dong?"
Hou Dabiao suddenly said, "Why is it him? This boy is not a thing."
Song Nan said, "Do you know him?"
Hou Dabiao said, "How can I not know him? I have a lot of dealing with Dali Temple in Fusi Zhao Prison in Beizhen. Naturally, you don't have to pay attention to him, but the humble position has dealt with him a lot. This boy is Liu Jin's person.
"Zhou Dong in Houzhen's mouth is this person. He did come here on the grounds of the emperor's order. In fact, he came under the order of Liu Jin. Naturally, his purpose was to insert a stick to the matter of my three-sided general government to rectify the military camp. If it hadn't been for Zhou Dong, I would have solved the affairs of Ningxia Town long ago. It's a pity that it's counterproductive. It's really difficult to do something. Yang Yiqing sighed in a long voice.
Song Nan was speechless and stunned. Liu Jin's hands and feet are simply everywhere. In this border town thousands of miles away from the capital, in addition to the general Jiang Han and Liu Jin, there is also a secret meeting with Liu Jin in Xiangshan. I don't know what a close relationship he has with Liu Jin, has now emerged again. Zhou Dong, the imperial envoy, the minister of Dali Temple, really came to the sages, crouching tigers and hiding dragons.
Song Nan suddenly felt that her shoulders were heavier than Mount Tai, and her mood sank to the bottom of the valley.
