Zhao Shan heard Bai Youyou's words and saw that Bai Youyou's complexion improved. His heart that was hanging in the air was completely relieved, and he smiled and said: "It'll be good if you wake up. I miss you too."
Bai Youyou said gratefully: "Husband, thank you!"
Zhao Shan rubbed Bai Youyou's head and said softly: "You are my woman, and it is my duty to take care of you."
Bai Youyou's smile was like a flower, and her eyes narrowed into a line with laughter.
In my heart, I felt more at ease than ever before.
In my heart, I have never felt sweeter.
Zhao Shan called someone to bring cooked vegetable porridge, and he and Bai Youyou drank the porridge together. After breakfast, he supported Bai Youyou and walked around the Xuannv Sect.
Bai Youyou is still very thin, but has energy. She walks slowly but steadily. Although she coughs from time to time, the intensity and frequency of her coughs are decreasing.
This is the effect of specific medicines.
The two of them were wandering around the mountains. The early winter sunshine broke through the fog and fell on the mountains, which made people feel even better.
After Zhao Shan and Bai Youyou walked for a while, they sat down in a secluded place, leaned together and chatted, talking about their lovesickness after seeing each other again.
After a conversation, Zhao Shancai returned to the topic and asked, "Wei Polu has already reported your injury. The person who injured you was killed, and the gang involved has been wiped out."
"Based on the results of the current investigation, the manipulator behind the scenes may be Murong Tiangang, the Minister of War of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"After all, Murong Tiangang's son Murong Bo died in Daqian."
Zhao Shan asked: "What do you think?"
Bai Youyou shook her head and said: "Husband, not only Murong Tiangang, but also local forces."
Zhao Shan's eyes flashed with murderous intent and asked, "Who else is there?"
Anyone who hurt Bai Youyou, Zhao Shan would not let anyone go and would kill them all.
Bai Youyou explained: "The conflict that occurred in the Xuannv Sect this time was mainly caused by Fei Qing, the elder of the Xuannv Sect, and the Huoyun Gang in Youzhou, plus some forces from the Northern Wei Dynasty were involved."
"These are clear messages."
"In addition, when I searched Elder Fei's yard, I found a well-preserved secret letter in a secret compartment. It recorded that Elder Fei had contacts with the Gongsun family."
"Elder Fei's lay disciple Gongsun He, the eldest daughter of the Gongsun family, is actually Elder Fei's daughter."
"As far as I know, Elder Fei never married and stayed in the Xuannv Sect."
Bai Youyou sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that Elder Fei actually has a daughter and even accepted her as a disciple."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Fei Qing united with the Huoyun Gang to overthrow you. Just based on Fei Qing's relationship with the Gongsun family, he concluded that the Gongsun family was hiding behind the scenes. There is not enough evidence. I can only say that your inference is reasonable."
Bai Youyou continued: "There is one more thing, which is ironclad evidence."
Zhao Shan said: "What's the matter?"
Bai Youyou replied: "The Gongsun family is a powerful family in Youzhou. They specialize in smuggling salt, iron, tea, and high-quality brocade, silk and other items to the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"This is the foundation of the Gongsun family."
"The Gongsun family does not have any high-ranking officials in Youzhou, but they have many middle-level officials. They are also married to many prominent families in Youzhou. They have a wide scope of influence and can be called the emperor of the earth."
"After the Loyalty Alliance formed by me became more powerful, it took control of the Youzhou border, banned the smuggling of salt, iron, tea and other goods, and seized many goods."
"The Gongsun family has the most goods."
"Because the Loyalty League is backed by the Chief Guard and has the strong support of the Chief Guard. Even if the Gongsun family has objections, they can only admit it through gritted teeth."
"That's where the conflict lies."
Bai Youyou analyzed: "If we analyze and judge from the perspective of loss of interests, combined with the relationship between Fei Qing and the Gongsun family, everything will fall into place. After all, before the smuggling was blocked, Fei Qing and I did not have any conflicts."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "With the analysis of interests, the logic makes sense. Have you talked to Wei Polu about the Gongsun family?"
"No!"
Bai Youyou shook her head and answered, and said in a deep voice: "After I discovered the news about Elder Fei, my condition became more serious and I was unable to investigate carefully."
"If we talk about the Gongsun family again, it will easily stir up conflicts within Youzhou."
"As soon as Youzhou was stabilized, I told the news to Chief Wei. With Chief Wei's jealous temperament and my special status, he is likely to annihilate the Gongsun family."
"The Gongsun family is very powerful. If there is a turmoil, a war breaks out in Youzhou, and the Northern Wei Dynasty interferes, it will further affect my husband's overall situation, and that will be my fault."
Bai Youyou said: "So, I didn't tell Director Wei."
Zhao Shan saw more pity in Bai Youyou's eyes and sighed: "You girl, you worry too much."
Bai Youyou leaned on Zhao Shan's shoulder and said slowly: "When I am not in charge of the Xuannv Sect and the Loyalty Alliance, I can do whatever I want. If I don't like it, I will kill him, or just pat my butt and leave. Now I In a high position, one decision may affect many people, so you have to think carefully and have to look forward and backward.”
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "In fact, there is nothing to worry about, let alone anything to worry about. It would be better to beat the master to death with random punches."
Bai Youyou pursed her lips and smiled.
Some did not agree with Zhao Shan's words.
Zhao Shan explained: "If you worry about everything and don't dare to take drastic measures, it will be easier for others to plot against you. It will be easier to just solve it all. Then you can focus on recovering from your injuries, and I will deal with the Gongsun family. If he wants to rebel, I will wait. If he rebels, he will be suppressed.”
Bai Youyou said: "I listen to your Majesty!"
Zhao Shan walked around with Bai Youyou. Because Bai Youyou had not fully recovered, Zhao Shan sent Bai Youyou back to rest, and then arranged for someone to go to Jixian County to notify Wei Polu to discuss the matter.
Wei Polu came to Xuannvzong Mountain and saluted: "Your Majesty has summoned me, what are your orders?"
Zhao Shan explained: "Yuyou said that Fei Qing has a close relationship with the Gongsun family. Gongsunhe is Fei Qing's daughter and the eldest daughter of the Gongsun family. She only found out about it after she found the secret letter. She didn't tell you before because she was worried about triggering Jiyouzhou. turmoil."
Wei Polu raised his brows, showing a shocked look.
Gongsunhe is Fei Qing's daughter.
This news is so unexpected. She is obviously a direct disciple, so why did the disciple become her biological daughter?
Wei Polu thought quickly and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Yuan, is philanthropic, broad-minded, good to others, and has a long history as an old minister. How dare this person plot against the Xuannv Sect?"
Zhao Shan said calmly: "I trust Youyou's judgment."
The words were very light, but Wei Polu could hear the killing intent contained in them.
Wei Polu thought about it and immediately expressed his position: "Your Majesty, I am not excusing Gongsun Yuan, and I have no interest in Gongsun Yuan. Please tell me clearly."
Zhao Shan said: "I believe you."
Wei Polu breathed a sigh of relief and further said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will send someone to investigate immediately and arrest the person immediately after finding out."
"No need to investigate!"
Zhao Shan flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "When you return to the county, mobilize troops and horses to blockade the Gongsun family and control the Gongsun family. If Gongsun Yuan cooperates, there will be no killing for the time being. If he resists, he will be killed without mercy!"
hiss!
Wei Polu took a breath.
Directly blocking the Gongsun family would have a huge impact.
Wei Polu said: "Your Majesty, the arrangement is too hasty. Can you let me arrange it to avoid unnecessary trouble?"
Zhao Shan said with emotion: "Old Wei, since when did you start to look forward and backward when doing things? It's just Gongsun Yuan. Even if the power of the Gongsun family is intertwined, what will happen if I kill him?"
"If they want to cause chaos, I will let them cause chaos. Only when everyone jumps out can I catch them all in one fell swoop."
"We must not be soft-hearted when dealing with these rebellious ministers and traitors. We must kill them when they need to be killed."
Zhao Shan said resolutely: "Of course, it would be best to block the Gongsun family directly and also consider some strategies. This time Youyou is injured, I will repay tooth for tooth and blood for blood. I will not give up until I take revenge."
