These are only very peripheral surveillance data, because the other party is a literary scholar, and Long Yiwei is proud enough to be able to do this.
Xing Lao looked at it seriously and suddenly frowned and said, "He met the imperial envoy Hu Chongmin three months ago."
"Then I had dinner with Li Zhi, the Marquis of Changning."
"A few days later, Wang Linhai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, visited him at his residence."
These clues were very scattered, Xiao Zhen also noticed it, he shook his head and said: "I understand what you mean, they are all the people of Jinbohou Hua Zengsui, but Hua Zengsui has been in trouble recently, his Yuezhou is about to fall to Song Dynasty
In the hands of Zheng..."
At this point, he noticed that Xing Lao's eyes were bright, and he suddenly reacted: "Are you saying that his target is actually Song Zheng?"
Mr. Xing said: "Sir, please wait for me."
He rummaged through the bookshelf nearby, took out a past Di newspaper, placed it in front of Xiao Zhen, and pointed out a piece of news on it:
An imperial envoy impeached the chief minister, and Liu Su, the magistrate of Biankou County in Tongzhou, bribed Huang Yuanhe with the Mingxu soil and spirit animal bones produced in his county in order to obtain the position of county governor. The chief minister denounced this as nonsense.
Mr. Xing explained: "Everyone thinks that Huang Yuanhe is a literary cultivator, but I guess that he is likely to be a literary and martial arts cultivator."
"I was impeached by the imperial envoy, but there is no conclusive evidence for this kind of speculation, and I can't do anything about it. The unlucky one is the county magistrate Liu Su. After this incident, the little magistrate was removed from office and demoted to a civilian.
But only two months later, Liu Su became the Salt Supervisor of Haifeng County in Yazhou. The position was much more generous than that of the county magistrate of a poor county in Saibei.
Correspondingly, the father of a concubine of Jinbohou became the governor of Xizhai County in Tongzhou."
Xiao Zhen frowned and said: "It turns out they have colluded for a long time."
"And the Mingxu soil and spirit beast bones happen to be the necessary materials for a very rare secret technique, the 'Xu Ming Lamp'. I suspect that the Chief Assistant is the descendant of Wenxin Zhai who was wiped out that year, so he practiced Xu Ming Lamp."
The secret technique of lamps, and can use this secret technique to control people's minds!"
Xiao Zhen's face became solemn: "Wenxinzhai is a cult that happened during the late emperor's time. Their reputation is not obvious and their scale has always been small, but their harm is greater than that of the Nirvana Hall. Only the imperial court knows that they secretly use various methods to
This secret method controlled dozens of local officials.
In order to destroy them, Fan Zhenguo also personally took action."
Xing Lao nodded and said: "Yes, when they were at their peak, they used secret techniques to control three peak ancestors. As far as I know, Xu Ming Deng is ranked first among all the mysterious techniques of controlling the heart in Wenxinzhai.
, only those who are strong in ruling the country can practice!"
Xiao Zhen nodded and said: "In this case, his goal is probably not just as simple as capturing Jiangnan and Lingnan, he wants to control Song Zheng!"
Xing Lao followed quickly and said: "The state that your Excellency has shown to the outside world is that of a strong man who can control the country. Huang Yuanhe is not sure to control your mind.
But Song Zheng is just an ancestor. As a strong man who controls the country, he can use this secret technique to subdue Song Zheng easily. Then, if the master dies, with Song Zheng's prestige among the Longyi Guards today, he will be the most powerful.
A suitable successor, so as long as Huang Yuanhe controls Song Zheng, it is equivalent to taking Longyiwei, Jiangnan, and Lingnan Jiuzhou into his control!"
Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth: "What a cunning plan! He contacted Jin Bo Hou Hua Zeng Sui, probably to start from Yuezhou and create an opportunity to capture and control Song Zheng."
Xing Lao further speculated: "If Jinbo Hou Hua Zengsui didn't know that Song Zheng had secretly controlled Mianzhou, Songzhou and Yazhou, it would be fine. Once he knew it, he would definitely be panicked. Huang Yuanhe only had to agree to keep his Yuezhou and let him
He will never refuse anything."
Song Zheng did not hide the Lingnan matter from Xiao Zhen.
"In this way, he is in control of the ten most prosperous states in Hongwu. He also has Longyi Guards in his hands. Even the Queen Mother does not dare to touch him easily. He can also compete with the Queen Mother in the court." Xiao
Zhen finally understood: "It is indeed an old fox!"
Xiao Zhen stood up and walked out: "They have such a self-righteous plan and treat my Long Yi Guards as a delicacy. Have you ever asked me, huh!"
…
Song Zheng immediately received the warning from Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen did not say much to him, but reminded him to immediately make arrangements to find loopholes in the opponent's plan in order to counterattack.
On the Jiangnan side, Song Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts racing rapidly.
There are twelve known jade veins in Yuezhou. If they fall into the hands of Song Zheng, he is confident that twelve more will be opened within a year. After the jade mines are mined and polished, they become yuan jade, the currency of the world of cultivation.
Speaking of which, Yuezhou is the most valuable among the five Lingnan states. But Song Zheng never found a chance to make a move, and he ordered Zeng Qianhu to investigate secretly. Hua Zengsui seemed to have noticed it a few months ago.
In the territory of Yuezhou, additional manpower was dispatched, and there were even a few powerful Yinshen.
"It turns out it was Huang Yuanhe who reminded him." Song Zheng cursed secretly, an old dog ruined my good deeds.
While he was thinking about this matter, Shi Zhonghe's voice came from outside: "Sir, Zeng Qianhu is here and has something important to report." Song Zheng asked him to come in, and Zeng Qianhu said with some excitement: "Sir, good news
.Our brothers in Yuezhou Prefecture came back with news that the three powerful Yinshen who were guarding Muma Hongsheng in the state suddenly disappeared early this morning. It was said that they were returning to the capital to protect Jinbohou Hua Zengsui.
During this period of time, the capital was in turmoil, and Jin Bohou was frightened, and his own life was in danger."
Song Zheng smiled.
If there had not been Xiao Zhen's warning, he might have really felt that this was an opportunity. He was already ready to rush to the capital, hoping to unify Lingnan and the ten states in Jiangnan at the last moment. He would probably not let this opportunity go.
Then this trap will be stepped into.
"Sir?" Zeng Qianhu was a little surprised. The master didn't seem very excited.
Song Zheng rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then said: "I'll give you an errand to find an ancestor whose cultivation level is similar to that of a basic official."
"Sir..." Zeng Qianhu was puzzled. Song Zheng waved his hand. He stopped asking any more questions and went out to do as he was told.
…
Yuezhou is rich, so there is a sense of "wealth" everywhere. The Yuezhou government office is built with rare luxury, giving people the impression that they wish they could just use Yuan Yu as bricks and tiles.
Ma Hongsheng was the leader of the bodyguard of Hua Zengsui, Marquis of Jinbo. He followed Hua Zengsui before he inherited the title.
After Hua Zengsui seized Yuezhou by relying on his good relationship with the emperor, he appointed him as the prefect of Yuezhou. Everyone knew that he was Hua Zengsui's most loyal lackey.
There are some secrets that Ma Hongsheng knows. After the three ancestors of the Yin Gods left today, he secretly paid attention and knew that the Hou Ye's plan was about to begin. So he loosened the outside and tightened the inside, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
The Marquis briefly told him about this plan, mainly because he wanted to use him as bait and needed to reassure him. After all, he and the Marquis had an extraordinary relationship.
He also thought about it over and over again and felt that this plan was foolproof, so although he was a little nervous, he was more secretly excited. That man dominated the southeast, and apparently he controlled the land of six states, but in fact he controlled nine states.
, only his own Yuezhou is left.
Everyone has his own ambitions, and Ma Hongsheng is no exception. If he can be allowed to stumble in his Yuezhou, counterattack and capture the entire Jiangnan and Lingnan, he will become famous all over the world.
He lacks nothing now, but his reputation is not very good. This time, when things are done, his reputation will be there.
He called his master over: "Are you ready at Qingyue Tower? Don't make any mistakes at the banquet tonight."
The master thought that he had received the benefits of Qingyue Tower, and immediately said: "The students have gone to see it in person, and everything is absolutely fine. The students also told them that the adults entertained the wealthy businessmen at their place to show them favor. If the errand fails,
, they don’t have to drive down to Qingyue Tower.”
Ma Hongsheng nodded: "That's good."
There are still some external gestures that need to be made. For example, Ma Hongsheng has been thinking of ways to raise Yuan Yu and expand armaments during this period. He wants to add a new barracks for the Yuezhou soldiers, all of which are heavy cavalry, not to be able to fight against the Song Dynasty.
At least the mobility of Zheng's fighting beast repair cavalry cannot be too different.
The whole of Lingnan has felt the pressure from Lord Song. It would be suspicious if Yuezhou didn't react at all.
Although he was rich, why should he spend his own money on this kind of thing? So he divided it up, and each of the wealthy businessmen who made a fortune in Yuezhou "donated" hundreds of thousands or millions.
Ma Hongsheng used this excuse to hold a banquet at Qingyue Tower tonight. He will attend in person to thank all the wealthy businessmen.
This news was easy to find out, so some of Long Yiwei's secret posts in Yuezhou also got the news and reported it to Zeng Qianhu.
Song Zheng lived in a courtyard in the capital of Yuezhou. He was accompanied by dozens of people. The ancestor of the peak was hidden among them. He looked like a wealthy businessman who came to Yuezhou to do business.
This courtyard is a secret location of Long Yiwei. It has been rented for a long time and will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
Zeng Qianhu came to see the Lord with this information, and after talking about it, he said: "Qingyue Tower is the most famous restaurant in Yuezhou, and Ma Hongsheng plundered hundreds of millions of jade from these wealthy businessmen. In addition to forming a team of 1,000 people,
Apart from the heavy cavalry, at least half of Yuan Yu will fall into his own pocket, so it is reasonable for him to treat everyone to a meal."
Song Zheng smiled and said nothing.
Zeng Qianhu was a little confused about what the Lord meant and did not dare to say any more. Song Zheng said easily: "Then let's be uninvited guests tonight."
