Yuan Zhengrong smiled: "Who said he would switch to the King of Han?"
Wang Cong was stunned and didn't understand what Yuan Zhengrong meant.
Nowadays, the only people in Beijing who can compete for the reserve position are the King of Han and the King of Qin. The other princes are just decorations. They are fun to watch and the stumbling blocks are easy to make. But when it comes to competing for the reserve, they are not the same as the King of Han and the King of Qin. The same portion.
Abandoning the King of Qin, wouldn’t only the King of Han remain?
Although Yuan Zhengrong is a third-grade governor and can be regarded as a high-ranking official, there are people in the court who are good at being an official. They must have someone to rely on so that they can take a further step. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be prosperous and prosperous, and will not be defeated by the emperor. The emperor and his courtiers fucked each other to the end.
Yuan Zhengrong gently patted Wang Cong on the shoulder and said calmly: "I originally planned to tell you about this matter in a few days, but when the matter has reached this point, I will tell you today. I am at the Ministry of War I have found a position for you as a lieutenant in the Ministry of War. The transfer will arrive tomorrow or tomorrow. Although this official position is the same as your current rank, and it is a military general turning into a civilian official, it is still a capital official and under Zheng Bin. He will If I take care of you, your promotion path will be much easier. Besides, you will be the eyes and ears in Beijing, and I will conquer the world in Hexi, so we brothers can be considered capable of protecting ourselves."
Wang Cong is naturally convinced of Yuan Zhengrong's words and never refutes his decisions. He does whatever he says and how he says.
Wang Cong didn't care where he was an official, what kind of official he was, whether he was a military general or a civil servant. As long as he could help Yuan Zhengrong, he was willing to do it. He nodded deeply: "Okay. , Ah Cong listens to his brother."
Yuan Zhengrong is very satisfied with Wang Cong's obedient attitude. His official career has not been smooth sailing. Before he became the third-rank governor, he experienced ups and downs and experienced many dangers. Now that the storm is rising again and dangers arise again, he must do his best to stabilize himself. situation.
He smiled and said: "When A Cong goes to Beijing, he will look like a Beijing official. I have taken care of everything in Beijing. I have also bought the house you live in. You take your wife and children with you. We’ll set off after the New Year.”
Wang Cong nodded in agreement.
Yuan Zhengrong thought for a while, took something out of his arms, handed it to Wang Cong, and told Wang Cong with a solemn face: "A Cong, you must keep this thing close to your body, don't show it to anyone, don't lose it, it's life-saving." thing."
Wang Cong was stunned for a moment and shook his head quickly: "No, no, brother, you have to hold such an important thing."
Yuan Zhengrong shook his head, quickly put on the rope, hung the sign around his neck, and continued to whisper: "This thing is a relic of Prince Huaizhang, and it is also a token of command to the heroes. You must keep it."
Wang Cong's expression froze, and he looked carefully at the thing in his hand. It was a white and translucent sign with carvings in the middle. If Yao Yao were here, he would be surprised. This sign is different from the one in her hand. Exactly the same, just a little bit bigger.
He said solemnly: "Brother, how did you get such an important thing?"
Yuan Zhengrong ignored Wang Cong's doubts, changed the topic, and whispered a few words: "A Cong, after you enter Beijing, go find this place and this person. He will arrange some things for you to do, but you You have to make a distinction yourself, there are some things you can do and some things you cannot do. In the future, when your brother is far away from you, you will have to make your own decisions about many things."
Wang Cong nodded solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I will do a good job."
Yuan Zhengrong said: "If you don't understand anything, just write to me. In a few months, I will go to Beijing to report on my work. Then we brothers can meet again."
Looking at Wang Cong who had lived under his wings for nearly thirty years, Yuan Zhengrong was a little reluctant to give up. He breathed out: "Ah Cong, I am reluctant to let you go to Beijing to suffer, but the only one I can trust is You, only you can do this."
Wang Cong vowed: "Brother, I will never let you down."
Yuan Zhengrong nodded: "Okay, you can start packing your things in the next few days. After the eighth day of the lunar month, you will take them on the journey."
Wang Congying claimed that it was true and talked about today's events: "Brother, there is something fishy about today's events."
Yuan Zhengrong naturally knew that something was fishy. He slapped the food table hard and said, "I underestimated the man named Han and let him take advantage of the loophole."
Wang Cong said in a deep voice: "Then, what should we do in the future?"
Yuan Zhengrong sneered: "We are all our people inside and outside the courtyard, and the thirty imperial guards are not enough for me. Today's incident reminds me, what kind of scandal will Han want to make in the future?" Come on, it’s not that easy.”
Wang Cong felt a little sorry for Miss Eight, and asked after careful consideration: "Brother, what should I do with Miss Eight?"
Yuan Zhengrong closed his eyes. He originally wanted to use this incident to break off his marriage to the Zheng family. Although Han Changmu failed to plot, breaking off the engagement was inevitable. He looked at Wang Cong and said in a deep voice: "Take the eighth girl." If word of the incident reaches the Zheng family, when you go to Beijing, take the Geng Tie with you and cancel the engagement."
Wang Cong sighed: "Brother, what will the eighth girl do next?"
Yuan Zhengrong waved his wrist: "I have already made arrangements before doing this. In half a month, the news will come out in the house that the eighth girl was unbearably humiliated and hanged herself. After a while, I will send her to leave Dunhuang and go to Gaochangguo to change her identity."
Wang Cong nodded, this is the most foolproof plan.
In the hall, Yuan Zhengrong and Wang Cong were discussing future matters. In the other courtyard, Han Changmu and others were also busy.
The cold wind blew into the hall, and the sound of whimpering echoed in the corridor.
The hall was very quiet. Everyone was sitting on both sides in order, and no one spoke.
The thirty forbidden soldiers were guarding outside the hall. They were squatting under the windows, outside the door, in the corridors, and even on the roof. No one could get close.
Xie Mengxia, who was sitting at the top, no longer had any joking smile, and his face was full of solemnity.
He is not stupid, he is just pretending to be stupid. People who pretend to be stupid very well have always had a very deep and perseverant mind.
He naturally understood why there was such an incident today, and this incident also sounded a heavy alarm for him.
The governor's house is not safe, and Yuan Zhengrong is also a smiling tiger who has become a spirit.
He coughed lightly and made a solemn and serious face, but he opened his mouth with an inappropriate joke: "Jiu Chao, that eighth lady is also very beautiful and gentle. It will be difficult to marry her after her reputation is ruined. If not, just..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Changmu flew over with a dagger, cut off Xie Mengxia's unfinished words, and sneered: "If His Highness likes her, take her back. Anyway, His Highness's mansion is spacious and can accommodate you."
Xie Mengxia waved her hands in fear: "Pull her down quickly, her father is too cruel, I'm afraid of death."
After joking for a while, Han Changmu winked at Leng Linjiang. Leng Linjiang nodded knowingly and said to Xie Mengxia: "Your Highness, I have some good things, do you want to go and see them."
Xie Mengxia had already seen the eyes of Han Changmu and Leng Linjiang meet, and said: "I have something to say to them, Jiuzhao, if you want to go behind my back, just say it if you are afraid that my mouth will spread. What good things are there, huh?" ."
Leng Linjiang smiled.
Xie Mengxia continued to curl his lips, feeling a little aggrieved: "I want to see what good things you have."
The hall became quiet, and the wind was louder than before.
Meng Suige bowed and replied: "Sir, Wang Xian, Zhu Neng and Xiao Liuzi are already on their way back. They will arrive tomorrow or the day after."
Han Changmu nodded: "Did you find the thing?"
Meng Sui said from the other side: "Found it." As he said that, he gave Han Changmu the key that he had been hiding close to him: "The dead soldiers who attacked us were also caught, and some things were found out." He handed over the confession again. To Han Changmu: "Sir, please take a look."
Han Changmu didn't look at the key carefully, he just put it away first, read the confession carefully, his expression changed, and he said in surprise: "These people have nothing to do with the Four Saints Sect, but they are actually people sent by the Governor's Office."
Meng Suige nodded and said: "Yes, my subordinates and Gu Chen carefully examined them and sentenced them to punishment. They are all private soldiers of the Governor's Mansion."
Han Changmu laughed angrily and smashed the food table. He went beyond the control to privately accumulate government soldiers, which was tantamount to treason. This Yuan Zhengrong was really tired of life. Let's not mention other things for the time being. Just privately collecting government soldiers was enough to fill the whole family. It was copied and cut eight times.
But Han Changmu didn't do anything. This confession alone, without catching the soldiers who Yuan Zhengrong had secretly saved, was not enough to convict him. He might bite him back.
Han Changmu held the confession, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Gu Chen and asked, "What is Wang Cong's whereabouts?"
Gu Chen said calmly: "Wang Cong is a lustful person. Apart from going home every day, he also goes to Wanheng's mansion to have fun."
Han Changmu thought for a moment. Yuan Zhengrong had a deep mind and it was difficult to find loopholes. But Wang Cong was different. He wished that Zhang Yang was covered with loopholes, so he nodded: "Continue to stare. Before leaving Dunhuang, we will He secretly captured it and brought it back to the capital."
Gu Chenying claimed that it was.
Han Changmu rubbed his throbbing forehead. Last night, he tried to lure the snake out of its hole. He drank too much, and his head still hurts. The aroma in the wing was so strong at that time, and when the girl lay down next to him, he really couldn't control it. .
Fortunately, Meng Suige and Yao Yao arrived in time and took out the troublemaker.
While rubbing his forehead, he thought, Yuan Zhengrong is difficult to deal with, but Wang Cong is easy to deal with, and Mu Chun is also loose. He just arrived last night, and today is the perfect time to meet and talk in detail.
He said to Gu Chen: "Go and send a message to Po Sa, telling me that I will go over to see Muchun when I am young."
Gu Chen's heart trembled, knowing that this was one of the most important things to do in Dunhuang, so he went out without delaying for a moment.
Han Changmu looked around and saw that Yao Yao hadn't come back yet. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Where's A Yao? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Meng Suige laughed in a low voice and said, "Don't worry, sir. A'ao's Qinggong is really good. No one will find out if he eavesdrops."
