Han Changmu smiled discreetly. He carefully checked the affairs of Yuan Zhengrong and Wang Cong's family. He knew that Yuan Zhengrong's family had many wives and concubines, and the children were prosperous. He gave birth to nine sons alone, not to mention daughters. How many people know that the one who had trouble in the Governor's Mansion last time was Yuan Zhengrong's eighth daughter.
As for Wang Cong, he is much more low-key than his brother. He has only one wife and one concubine, and has two sons and one daughter. In comparison, he is much cleaner.
Han Changmu knew very well that Wang Cong came to Beijing not only to join the Ministry of War to be in charge, he must have other important things to do, but he actually brought his wife, concubines, and children. Aren't he afraid that these people would drag him down?
Han Changmu's brows slowly relaxed, and two faint wrinkles disappeared in an instant. He took a sip of the ginseng soup and continued to ask: "Then, have you noticed any traces of guards or servants in that mansion?"
Bao Cheng frowned slightly and thought about the situation carefully: "It was too dark, the house was dark, and there wasn't even a plaque on the door. If I hadn't seen the man knocking on the door with my own eyes, I would have thought It was an abandoned house, but when the man came in, the person who opened the door was an old man. He couldn't walk easily because of his trembling steps. He looked to be in his sixties."
Han Changmu smiled knowingly. Wang Cong and Yuan Zhengrong were brothers from the same mother. With Yuan Zhengrong in charge of a state, Wang Cong dragged his family to Beijing. It was impossible for Yuan Zhengrong not to bring him some manpower in case of disaster. When needed.
It seems that Wang Cong hid these people very carefully, treating it as an unexpected secret move.
Of course, these things were not what surprised Han Changmu the most. The most surprising thing was that Wang Cong was familiar with the rules of night patrol in Chang'an City and could cleverly avoid them.
You must know that Wuhou's night patrol after the daily curfew is not a simple cavalry patrol on the surface, but also a secret sentry patrol hidden on the roof. The locations and people of these secret patrols will change every day. The street envoys will notify the patrol route half a moment before the daily patrol.
Moreover, each team of secret sentries does not know the patrol routes of other secret sentries, let alone transmitting information to the outside world.
It is not surprising that Wang Cong can avoid the patrols of the cavalry in the open. The patrol routes of the cavalry are fixed and change once a month, but he can also avoid the patrols of the secret sentry at the same time, which is enough to make people nervous.
Either there was a problem with the left and right street envoys, or there was a problem with Wuhoupu.
Han Changmu thought of this and raised his eyes to look at Yao Yao.
Not only Wang Cong is familiar with the rules of night patrol in Chang'an City, Yao Yao is also very clear about it. When he followed Yao Yao, he found that she could avoid all the secret sentries. At that time, he was doubtful and wanted to ask, but as things got busy, Then I forgot.
He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Yao joins the army. If I remember correctly, you can also avoid the night watchers in the city."
Hearing this, Bao Cheng's eyes looked between Han Changmu and Yao Yao in surprise.
Could it be that Han Changmu was suspicious of Yao Yao?
That's what he thought, but he didn't dare to ask. After all, he was still afraid of the Department of Internal Security.
But Leng Linjiang was not afraid. He stood up suddenly, brought Hu Chuan down with a clang, and blurted out: "Jiuzhao, what do you mean? A Yao will not pry into these secrets, let alone leak them to the outside world."
Yao Yao was very calm on the contrary. She was not surprised that Han Changmu would ask her this. She was even surprised that Han Changmu had held back for so long before asking her about it. She thought he had caught her in the act, so she immediately I should have asked.
But it's useless to ask, she won't tell.
She calmly looked directly into Han Changmu's eyes and said calmly: "Yes, I can avoid the humble position. As for the reason, this is a secret. I'm sorry that I can't tell you directly."
When Han Changmu heard this, his eyes gleamed, and he understood the meaning of Yao Yao's words. This secret was not her secret, but the secret of the Beiya Forbidden Army. It was the saint's secret. She could not tell it.
Leng Linjiang laughed and said, "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal." After half a night of drinking flower wine, he felt a little sick. He stretched out his hand to rub his throbbing forehead and asked Han Changmu: " For a long time, Wang Cong was transferred to the Ministry of War as the chief and came to the capital with us. He tried his best to protect His Highness the King of Han along the way. I also watched him all the way. If you said there was something wrong with him, I really didn't see it."
Yao Yao glanced at Leng Linjiang with a smile and winked at him, which meant that he was saying, what can you see with those dead fish eyes of yours.
Leng Linjiang obviously understood Yao Yao's look, and said, "You still think I'm so stubborn."
Yao Yao raised an eyebrow: "My lord, when I was in Dunhuang, I overheard the secret conversation between Yuan Zhengrong and Wang Cong. Wang Cong had other things to do when he came to Beijing. According to Yuan Zhengrong's tone, he even asked him to see him. An extremely important person, I am guessing whether that person is the person I am following today."
Han Changmu nodded: "Please tell me carefully what that person looks like."
Although he was already seventy-eight percent sure, he still had to hear from Yao Yao himself to confirm whether that person was Xie Liangzhan.
Yao Yao had always remembered people, and that person was really beautiful and amazing. She remembered it very deeply, and when she described it word for word, she said it was almost similar.
Han Changmu's face slowly darkened, and the sound echoed in the room where no one spoke.
The moonlight tonight is not bright, it is dim and lightless. When filtered by the white and transparent window paper, it leaks into the room and becomes a thin wisp. Dots of light dust are reflected in this wisp of moonlight. Swaying lightly.
Han Changmu's expression was dark and unclear. He tapped the desk with his finger and said slowly: "Ah Yao, when I was in Dunhuang, I went to see Xie Liang, the young master of the Four Saints Sect. According to your description, I can confirm that this person is the Four Saints. Let’s meet Xie Liang, the young master of the sect.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Yao Yao was even more stunned.
It was a clear day in the sky, oh no, in the middle of the night, there was such a big thunder.
Yao Yao knew how vicious the young master Xie Liangzhan's thoughts were and how strange his behavior was, and how much they suffered at his hands when they were on Longyou Road.
Such a dark-minded person who came to Beijing definitely did not come to do good deeds.
If you are not doing good deeds, you are here to do evil, and you are here to stir up troubles.
Yao Yao opened her mouth and was shocked: "Such a scourge has entered the capital, and the capital will not be peaceful." She paused, and suddenly said: "How could he let the power of Longyou Road come to the capital? Well, is there anything in Beijing that he is bound to get?"
Leng Linjiang knew very well about this young master. After all, Han Changmu and Leng Linjiang returned to Beijing early because of Huo Hanshan's case. It was he who stayed in Dunhuang and was responsible for uprooting the remaining forces of the Four Saints in Longyou Road. .
He was impatient but also gave an enigmatic smile: "Ah Yao, you have to ask me for advice on this matter."
Yao Yao rolled his eyes and made a disdainful sound.
Leng Linjiang chuckled and asked with a shy face: "Ah Yao, don't you want to know?" Seeing that Yao Yao ignored him, he turned to look at Bao Cheng again: "Master Bao, Lingtong, don't you want to know too?"
Bao Cheng glanced at Leng Linjiang blankly. He didn't want to know what he knew. The more he knew, the faster he would die.
Leng Linjiang couldn't bear it anymore and smiled like a big-tailed wolf: "A Yao, ask me."
"..." Yao Yao raised his eyebrows and was speechless.
Leng Linjiang's smile spread out from his eyes and spread all over his face: "Ah Yao, please ask me!"
"Puch", Bao Cheng laughed out loud.
Yao Yao held his forehead and was speechless for a long time: "Okay, please tell me, Mr. Shaoyin."
Han Changmu held the cup of ginseng tea and looked at the commotion of a few people with an expressionless face. It was obviously an extremely serious matter, but they made him look childish.
Hearing Yao Yao begging him, Leng Linjiang smiled brightly, held a tea cup and said in a tone of voice: "This matter is that the child has no mother. It's a long story."
Yao Yao patiently waited for Leng Linjiang to write it down. When she heard his words, she had a sullen face and almost couldn't help but smash the bed.
Leng Linjiang saw Yao Yao's stupefied face and said quickly: "Years ago, after you returned to Beijing with Jiuchao, I stayed in Dunhuang and found out the distribution of the Four Saint Sect's forces in the Longyou Road area. As soon as they were removed. But the strange thing is that all the people captured were from the Holy Lord, and none of them were involved in the Young Master Xie Liangqiang. At first, I didn’t think there was anything wrong. Later, more than half of the power of the Four Holy Sects was wiped out. I felt like I was acting as a gunman for someone else. I was afraid that the young master had tricked me into making a wedding dress for him."
Yao Yao curled his lips and smiled: "What's even more pity is that you haven't received your wages yet."
Leng Linjiang nodded hurriedly: "Isn't it? It's a bit miserable."
Han Changmu really couldn't stand listening anymore. These two people were treating serious matters as trivial matters. The Lord has left the Four Saints Sect, and when he left, he swept away most of the Four Saints Sect's manpower and money, and the rest has been captured by the imperial court. Now the Four Saints Sect in Dajing is an empty frame in name only."
Yao Yao suddenly realized, no wonder Gu Chen and the others didn't come back together. It turned out they were staying in Longyou Road to clean up the battlefield.
No wonder, no wonder no one in Chang'an City has mentioned the mysterious Four Saints Sect during this period of time. It turns out that it was because of a trick by the sinister young master of the family that the whole family was brought under the influence.
No wonder they say they are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but they are afraid of teammates who are like pigs, and what they are most afraid of are their scheming teammates.
Why is this so ridiculous? It's almost like a stand-up comedy.
Yao Yao pursed his lips, but finally couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, his almond eyes like a crescent moon: "This, this, meritorious service depends entirely on the greedy young master."
