"Young Master Han is really awesome." Yang Qin, Fan Xicheng, and Zhao Kuo all had strong legs. They walked quickly as soon as they left the dock and rushed to Wuling City. However, they saw Han Qian and Han Daoxun standing in front of the awning boat carrying the coffin, and Wang Yu
When the servant spoke, Yang Qin couldn't help but sigh.
Fan Xicheng glanced at Yang Qin. The destruction of Yangtan Water Village could be said to be in the hands of the young master. Later, Yang Qin had to agree to escort his wife and children to Xuzhou because they were detained by the young master, but he did not expect that
At this time, Yang Qin didn't have much hatred in his heart, but he could not hide his admiration.
"Yes!" Fan Xicheng couldn't help sighing, and he didn't know how to explain to Yang Qin that his young master was so arrogant and extravagant a year ago.
For more than half a year, Han Qian had kept many things secret from Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo and others. However, in the month since he left Jinling, Han Qian had to use his maximum resources and abilities to resolve one crisis after another.
It was the most dazzling moment when Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo met Han Qian.
They also believed that it would be difficult to find any doubts from Wang Yu's body, but Han Qian decided to create something out of thin air and lure the snake out of its hole. They thought it was clever, but they thought that Ji Kun, who was extremely cunning, could resist the temptation this time.
Zhao Kuo also looked back and walked toward the county town with Fan Xicheng and Yang Qin.
Wuling County in Langzhou was under the control of the Tanzhou Jiedu Envoy Office and had nothing to do with Xuzhou. However, as a senior official at the governor's level, Han Daoxun borrowed a post house to temporarily set up a mourning hall for the former governor of Xuzhou when passing through the border. Even though local officials felt that Han Daoxun was a little small.
It's a big topic, even if you think it's unlucky, you still have to make it easier.
Borrowing the two courtyards of the post house, Lin Zongjing, Guo Nuer and others led their troops to stay at the dock to guard the three ships. Ji Fu and Ji Xiyao and their sons also led the boatmen to drag the coffin-carrying coffin boat to the river beach for repairs, while Han Qian took the lead.
He took Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Wuji, Yang Qin and others, together with his father, to help Yu Cheng temporarily transport Wang Yu's coffin to the city posthouse for placement. Fan Xicheng also arranged for people to purchase incense, candles, paper money and other items of worship.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Zhou, please go and invite Zhou Yourui to this courtyard, and tell her that my father has something to ask her." After Han Qian saw the Yi Cheng who came to pay homage to his father leave, he ordered Yang Qin's mother-in-law Zhou Rong to go and bring her.
Zhou Yourui please come to the courtyard here to talk.
Zhou Rong was full of opinions, thinking how could she be a hostage but still be ordered to do her job. She glanced at her boss and saw that he was standing aside helplessly without saying a word, so she turned towards Han Daoxun, and Han Qian and his son gave him a shot.
After bowing, he ran to the next door yard and asked Zhou Yourui to come over.
After a while, Zhou Yourui followed Zhou Rong. She was still wearing white silk clothes. She had tidied up a little. She was not as haggard and embarrassed as she was on the river beach. She had an oval face with no makeup, and she was about 23 or 24 years old.
With his age-old appearance and the beauty of mountains and rivers, he is indeed the leader of Xuzhou Leying.
Zhou Yourui walked into the hall pitifully, knelt down in front of the hall and saluted.
"No need to be polite," Han Daoxun pointed to the chair next to him and said to Zhou Yourui, "Sit down and talk. I have a few words to ask you."
"I don't know what you want to ask," Zhou Yourui said.
Han Daoxun didn't think Zhou Yourui could detect the most direct suspicion of Wang Yu's death. After all, Zhou Yourui was a member of Leying. No matter how close the relationship with Wang Yu was, he had to avoid suspicion after Wang Yu died of illness.
From the information obtained by Han Qian, Zhou Yourui saw that Wang Yu's body had been parked in Xuzhou City for two months and was unable to return home, so he stepped forward, paid for the coffin, and hired a ship to see him off.
How could she possibly know directly whether there was any doubt in Wang Yu's death?
Besides, after Wang Yu died of illness, the Xuzhou locality also passed the official report. Even the people around Wang Yu didn't see the flaw. Zhou Yourui was not Wang Yu's concubine, so what could he possibly know?
However, Zhou Yourui, as the leader of the music camp, had a favorable relationship with Xuzhou's official circles, and she had many opportunities to attend and accompany him. Her familiarity with the situation in Xuzhou was beyond what Han Qian could match by sending two groups of secret spies to infiltrate Xuzhou for a month.
Han Daoxun asked Zhou Yourui to come over. Firstly, he wanted to show off the spies who might be lurking in the dark. In addition, he mainly wanted to understand the intricate local relationships in Xuzhou.
He didn't know whether Wang Yu's death was suspicious, let alone whether there was a mastermind behind it. But after arriving in Xuzhou, the first thing he had to face was the entanglement of Xuzhou's intricate local relations.
"Since you haven't redeemed yourself from the Prefectural Yue Camp, it's not appropriate to continue sending Mr. Wang back home. After the worship, you can follow me to Xuzhou," Han Daoxun asked for a long time, and then asked Zhou Yourui to follow them.
They returned to Xuzhou together and said, "Don't worry about Mr. Wang's coffin returning home. I will arrange for two people to accompany Yu Cheng and others to escort Mr. Wang's coffin."
Zhou Yourui hesitated for a moment, but thinking that she was not free after all and could not be too willful, she nodded and agreed.
At this time, Han Daoxun saw that everything was ready in the yard next door. He took out two pages of paper from his sleeve, handed them to Han Qian and said, "This is a memorial written for Mr. Wang Yu. What do you think?"
Han Qian took the memorial and lowered his head to read it. He saw that the memorial was full of regrets for Wang Yu who died of illness in a foreign land before fulfilling his great ambitions. There were thorns in the road ahead, but he was determined to overcome them at the expense of bloodshed.
After sighing slightly, he and his father went to the next courtyard to worship Wang Yu.
…………
…………
Yehuling is located in the southwest of Wuling City. In front of the cliff at one corner, you can see the Yuan River flowing rapidly under the moon and its ripples.
Ji Kun was dressed as a boatman, wearing a bamboo hat and standing barefoot in front of the cliff, holding a short oar in his hand.
In the depths of Caoze Lake outside Huangzhou City, nearly three hundred river bandits were easily defeated by Han Daoxun and his party. Even Yang Qin was recruited. Ji Kun was in Tanlang and other states at this time, and could only
Calling twenty or thirty elite scouts, naturally they would not dare to leak their whereabouts easily.
Following this journey, he usually lurks in the wild mountains and leaves the task of gathering information to his secret spies.
At this time, a scout half-knelt in front of Ji Kun and reported what he could see after Han Daoxun and his son entered Wuling City:
"After Han Daoxun entered Wuling City, he moved into the post house, decorated a courtyard in the post office as a mourning hall, hired a carriage to move Wang Yu's coffin into the city, and then sent people to buy incense, candles, paper money, and seemed to want to pay his respects.
Only then will we continue on the road..."
"What does Han Daoxun want to do? Is there something suspicious about Wang Yu's death? Wang Yu has been dead for more than three months, and the local government and the Yushitai have passed the inspection. Even if there are doubts, Han Daoxun can still find out nothing.
Come?" A subordinate stood behind Ji Kun. They could see the faint lights in Wuling City and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
The Zifang Division is responsible for spying on internal and external military intelligence. If there are any suspicious cases in the prefectures and counties, unless someone in the local area conspires to rebel, otherwise it has nothing to do with the Zifang Division, but the Yushitai is responsible for monitoring.
Ji Kun and the others had no idea whether there were any doubts about Wang Yu's death and his appointment, but Han Daoxun's abnormal behavior made people think about it.
It's just that Wang Yudu has been dead for more than three months, and it is also the scorching summer. Even if the body is dehydrated and embalmed with a large amount of quicklime, it will be completely unrecognizable. Even if the coffin is opened and an autopsy is performed, it is unlikely that anything will be found.
Ji Kun's subordinate was very suspicious of what Han Daoxun would find if he cut off Wang Yu's coffin.
Outside Huangzhou City, nearly 300 river bandits were massacred by Han Daoxun, leaving dozens of corpses. Now even Yang Qin has been recruited to openly stand with the Han family and his son. They now have very few manpower that they can openly mobilize.
, he advocated lying dormant for a period of time before taking action.
Ji Kun said calmly: "The third prince has been eyeing Xuzhou for more than a day or two. Maybe he has discovered some flaws long ago."
Ji Kun didn't think there was anything unexpected in thinking this way. After all, whether it was the Dragon Bird Army or Han Qian's official appointment in Xuzhou, everything seemed to be a deep conspiracy on the part of the third prince. Who knew what the third prince and Xinchang Houfu were doing?
Bian, how long ago did you arrange your spy in Xuzhou?
Ji Kun thought that the heavy responsibility he had shouldered was not yet complete and he had been frustrated twice. If Han Daoxun really found out a major case on Wang Yu and took the opportunity to break the situation in Xuzhou, he would not have the shame to go back to Jinling to see Zhao Mingting.
"Whether there are any doubts about Wang Yu's death from illness is another matter, but his body cannot be returned to his hometown. Someone must want to show it to the new governor; and there are not many people in Xuzhou who can do this, or dare to do this. Your Excellency, we
Do you want to send someone to check?" Another subordinate asked. In his opinion, if there was a real mastermind behind Wang Yu's death, it was most likely this person.
Ji Kun nodded and said: "Yes, Han Daoxun was eager to accomplish something and intercepted Wang Yu's body in Wuling. He probably also intended to frighten the snake. However, the people in Xuzhou are not aware of its power. Once the plan is not secret, it will be rushed.
It is easy for Han Daoxun to seize the handle and defeat him calmly, and we will lose strong support at the local level! We must find this person first. By the way, remember to spread the news at the same time."
No matter how Han Daoxun negotiated with the Ma family, no matter whether Han Daoxun wanted to take root in Xuzhou and create a basic market for the third prince, or he simply wanted to make a fortune in Xuzhou to make up for the increasing consumption of the Longque Army.
, are not what the local emperors in Xuzhou, who are far away from the sky, would like to see.
Even if they couldn't physically eliminate Han Daoxun, they could never let Han Daoxun gain a foothold in Xuzhou.
