Chapter 432 The news of death is passed on to the capital, Gao Qiu's cares
It was just a military discussion, and then Xu Guanzhong arranged the arrangements. Xiao Tang decided to leave the three leaders Xu Ning, Tang Long, and Jiao Ting to protect the Yimachuan Dazhai, and command a group of people under his command, including Lu Zhishen, Xu Guanzhong, Ruan Shixiong, and Yang
Nine leaders, Zhi, Zhu Jing, and Bao Xu, led an infantry army of 3,500 horses to Pingzhou to find Wang Bolong's headquarters. They must pursue and fight hard to annihilate all the effective forces under the command of the Nanjing Dao giant bandit.
Another group of troops was led by Lin Chong, with Sun An, Tang Bin, Zhang Shun, Qiao Daoqing, Ma Ling, and Yi Lacheng under his command. The Yan brothers also had nine leaders and led an infantry of 3,500 horses. On the one hand, they cooperated with Xiao Tang's troops.
The leading troops and horses responded to each other from a distance, facing Ping on one side and the group of bandits in Jizhou on the other.
Just when Xiao Tang was counting the number of people coming down the mountain and preparing to lead his army to the expedition, the pigeon house in Yinmachuan Village received a letter from Fei Ge sent from Hebei East Road: Hua Rong, Shi Xiu and other brothers had escorted Su Jinniang, Tang Pengxiu, Hua
Young sister, Li Shishi and other female family members of Xiao Tang Mansion arrived safely at Daming Mansion Xiao Mansion.
At the same time, Xiao Tang had also learned that the capital had received news of his "disaster" in Liaodong, and the court was discussing to promote him to an official position and honorary title. When Xiao Tang learned about this, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, thinking that he was arrogant
When he returns to Bianjing, how will the posthumous titles be calculated? What expressions will be on the faces of Zhao Ji, Tong Guan, and even Gao Qiu when they see him reappearing in front of them in full force?
"Is that little thief Xiao Tang really dead? A good death! It's a pity that he didn't die in my hands. It's hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
In the lobby of the Palace Commander's Mansion in Bianliang, Tokyo, when Gao Qiu learned the news that Xiao Tang had been killed in Liaodong, he first exclaimed with joy, then showed a cruel look on his face, and cursed in a hissing voice.
Sun Jing, Gao Qiu's staff present at the scene, breathed a long sigh of relief. Since this scourge has been eliminated, what other way to die is not death? What's more, Xiao Tang's death will not only be the revenge of his brother Sun Gao who was frightened crazy by the poker
I have reported that, apart from Xiao Tang’s obsession with my Shangguan position, from now on, the former secretary of the Capital Palace will be like his own back house. Who among the generals serving in the Bianjing Military Division dare not to follow Gao Qiu’s lead? What should I do?
Are Lieutenant Gao's confidants still worried about their ability to rise through the ranks in the military and official circles?
There was also a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest in the lobby, his brows furrowed. He thought in his mind that Xiao Tang, really died so easily? Although things in the world are unpredictable, no matter whether he was a prince, general, minister, or a trafficker, he could not avoid being hit.
The calamity of swords and blood, but could the hatred between Xiao Tang and Gao Qiu really be ended so easily?
That Taoist priest was naturally Chen Xizhen, who had recently joined Gao Qiu's mansion. When he heard that the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Palace Commander's Mansion reported that Xiao Tang had been ambushed by local aliens on his way to Huanglong Mansion in Liaodong to purchase northern pearls and had been killed, Chen Xizhen
I felt uneasy for no reason.
At this time, Sun Jing stood up, bowed to Gao Qiu and said: "Master, although Xiao Tang's fellow is dead, the stewards under his name are still in charge of many shops in Bianjing to make a living. Most of those fellows also follow Xiao Tang
I am used to antagonizing the palace commander. Although Jinfeng Yululou, who the Holy Lord often visits privately, cannot be moved for the moment, should we... also eliminate the other cronies of Xiao Tang?"
Gao Qiu put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, then shook his head and said: "At this moment, there was a dispute between me and Xiao Tang, and the Holy Emperor also got wind of it. At this time, everyone in Bianjing took action.
It’s not a trivial matter, but it’s a big deal to make His Majesty Longyan displeased. The days are long, and now that the scourge is dead, as long as the servants under his command are still hanging around in Bianjing, there’s no fear of them flying away!”
Gao Qiu then sneered and said: "Mr. Cai will be returning to Beijing in a while, and Xiao Tang was born under the famous son-in-law Liang Zhongshu, the son-in-law of Cai Gong. With this added concern, I still want to touch Xiao Tang."
It takes a lot of effort...
And Tong Guan, the eunuch, clearly doesn’t take this government seriously! That guy knows that I hate that little thief Xiao Tang, but he still wants to win over Xiao Tang! That guy relies on his holy favor to control the military power of the Western Army.
Not to mention being arrogant and domineering, I am now the Third Lieutenant in front of the palace, in charge of the life and death of the Imperial Guards of the capital. Tong Guan showed his favor to Xiao Tang, didn't he also make it clear that he wants to fight against me and interfere with the military power of the Imperial Guards of the capital?"
After hearing what Gao Qiu said angrily, Chen Xizhen was moved, and he secretly said: Gao Qiu promoted me back then, mainly because he used me to deal with Xiao Tang. The right way is to kill all the birds and beasts, and to hide the good bows. Now Xiao Tang
Now that I'm dead, it's not easy to be promoted again. What's more, I am single and weak in the Palace Commander's Mansion. How can I be reused by Gao Qiu and go to see the Holy Face? I don't know if I need to use a method now, but I also teach Gao Qiu this.
You know, I, Chen Xizhen, am still a person of great use...
After Chen Xizhen thought for a while, he stood up and reported to Gao Qiu: "Commander of the Palace, Tong Guan has been in charge of the Western Army for a long time, and he has many close friends. Compared with a yellow-mouthed kid like Xiao Tang who doesn't know how to praise,
Tong Guan is also favored by the Holy Spirit, not to mention a powerful official with great power. If the Palace Commander secretly plots with him, the Palace Commander's mansion must have more available people. Xiao Ke is willing to recommend some capable people to the Palace Commander who can help the Palace Commander.
Working in the capital."
Gao Qiu's expression changed, and he said joyfully: "Oh? I wonder who the good brother wants to recommend?"
Chen Xizhen bowed and replied: "The person Xiao Ke wants to recommend is called Gou Huan and Gou Ying. He is from Weihui Mansion in Henan Province. He is a descendant of Gou Bian, the famous general of Wei during the Warring States Period. His father Gou Bangda was also in front of the palace.
I did everything wrong, just because I hated Tong Guan..."
After hearing this, Gao Qiu slapped his forehead and said hurriedly: "I have remembered it! My dear brother also asked me to save Gou Huan and Gou Ying back then, although Gou Bangda was still killed by Tong Guan, and I and I
The wise brother made a plan to bribe Tong Guan's confidants and let the two brothers go. I heard that Gou Huan and Gou Ying were great at martial arts and had a huge hatred for Tong Guan, so they could do this.
Used by this government! Where are they two now?"
Chen Xizhen cursed fiercely in his heart. Listening to Gao Qiu's tone, it seemed that he had done a huge favor to him, and he was not angry with Tong Guan for secretly persecuting his colleagues and subordinates, so he was willing to pay and send people to rescue Gou Huan.
, Gou Ying and the two are just like each other, but in fact it was Gao Qiu who took a fancy to the geomantic treasure land where Chen Xizhen buried his late wife!
After Gao Qiu became rich, he learned that the place where Chen Xizhen buried his wife was in Fenghuang Mountain outside Bianliang City in Tokyo. The water hugged the sand ring, and dragons and phoenixes danced. Gao Qiu also heard many Feng Shui masters say that this place would be the place where the 18th Duke will be found.
Therefore, when Chen Xizhen came to ask him to save the lives of the Gou brothers, Gao Qiu pretended to be drunk and asked him to give up the Feng Shui treasure land of Phoenix Mountain to him.
At that time, Chen Xizhen said that compared with being able to make more friends with capable people to prepare for future emergencies, what does it matter if his wife who died early can be buried in peace? What's more, since Gao Qiu has already moved to take the Feng Shui treasure land
I thought, if I refused, I would probably offend Gao Qiu... I might cause harm in the future. So Chen Xizhen agreed at that time, immediately dug the earth and moved the coffin of his deceased wife.
They were hastily buried elsewhere, and then Gao Qiu agreed to Chen Xizhen's request to use his subordinates to rescue Gou Huan and Gou Ying.
Is it really like a crow resting on a pig? You can only see the blackness of others, but you can’t see your own blackness!? That eunuch Tong Guan used all his methods to harm his colleagues, but the people you harmed when Gao Qiu eliminated dissidents are worse than
Where is the lack of Tong Guan!?
Although Chen Xizhen was very disdainful of Gao Qiu in his heart, he still said to Gao Qiu with a low eyebrow: "Xiao Ke has sent someone to find out: Brother Gou has escaped from Tong Guan's pursuit because of the kindness of the palace commander.
They defected to Zhen Xianglin, their father's old subordinate, and then Zhen Xianglin also gave up his official position and teamed up with a... Fan Chenglong's group to seize Yizhou Yuanji Village and Luo Cao as bandits. Now they have gathered to three or four thousand people.
There are many people, and not only are the soldiers strong and the horses strong, but these four people are also talented people with extravagant abilities. Although they are not talented, I am willing to go to Yizhou alone and persuade the four of them to join the palace commander."
Unexpectedly, when Chen Xizhen mentioned the words "Fan Chenglong", the old face of Gao Qiu, who was still talking about Tong Guan secretly causing harm to others, suddenly sank!
Gao Qiu looked at Chen Xizhen with a gloomy face, and said: "If you are loyal, you must not be a robber, and if you are a robber, you must not be loyal. This is what my wise brother said that day... All the crazy bandits in the green forest are the target."
How can those thieves reuse those cruel and violent people without the king's law? What's more, Fan Chenglong... I wonder if my virtuous brother knows his origins?"
Chen Xizhen looked calm and said: "Of course Xiao Ke knows that when Fan Chenglong's father was the governor of Kaifeng, he was disrespectful to the palace commander. But Fan Chenglong was afraid of the palace commander's reputation, so he abandoned Yizhou Prefecture.
Even though he is in the official position of Xiao Juluocao, he does not dare to be an enemy of the palace commander. The palace commander has a capacity to accommodate others, so in one fell swoop, he has gained the service of four confidants, isn’t this a beautiful thing?”
Gao Qiu snorted heavily. At that time, he was still a young man who settled down in Bianliang City, Tokyo. Later, he was sentenced to twenty-spine canes and distributed out of bounds one after another. The official who brought him out of Bianjing was Fan Chenglong's father. After Gao Qiu became successful,
, he not only wanted to avenge Wang Sheng's son Wang Jin, who had caused him to be knocked down with a stick and would not be able to rest for three or four months, but he also wanted to harm the descendants of Fan Fuyin and express his bad anger.
But when Gao Qiu finally became the third lieutenant in front of the palace, not only did Wang Jin, the spear and stick instructor of the Forbidden Army, feign illness and escape from the capital under Xiao Tang's careful attention, but he also managed to find out who Fan Fuyin was at that time through his disciples.
His son settled in Yizhou Mansion on Jingdong East Road. Before he could start harming anyone, Fan Chenglong had heard about it and had already given up his job and fled...
Gao Qiu was originally a man who wanted revenge. Now he was a powerful official in the imperial court, but he could not find his enemies from back then. He even tortured the relatives of those enemies to satisfy his desire to step on the heads of lowly people.
A sense of pleasure, how could this make him happy?
The atmosphere in the lobby of the Palace Commander's Mansion became a little tense. At this time, Gao Qiu was staring coldly at Chen Xizhen, who looked calm. When the resentment in his heart gradually subsided, he was weighing the gains and losses of interests. After a while, Gao Qiu
