"I mean." Fang Bie looked at Hu Beizong and continued to say quietly: "I have a batch of goods in my hand that will be given to Wang Zhi."
"The delivery location is Yingtian Mansion."
"If nothing else happens, I can use this batch of goods to meet Wang Zhi."
This was the second time Hu Beizong had heard these words, but he still couldn't believe his ears.
He forced to hide his shocked look: "Is this true?"
First, ask what you are talking about, and then ask if you mean it.
There's a big difference between taking it seriously or not.
"Of course it's true." Fang Bieyan said concisely.
"Aren't you afraid that I will send someone to arrest you now?" Hu Beizong said without any threat: "Talking with Japanese invaders is a capital crime."
Yes, treason with the Japanese is a capital crime, but those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country will be treated as princes.
According to the court's calculations, Fang Bie's death penalty was no longer one or two.
Therefore, if there are many lice, there will be no itching. If there are many debts, there will be no worries.
"If the governor is willing, you can arrest me now." Fang Bie looked at Hu Beizong and said with a smile.
A gentle smile that is harmless to humans and animals.
Xue Ling, who was on the side, curled her lips calmly.
What Fang Bie enjoys the most is probably the feeling that you clearly dislike me but can't kill me.
At this time, Hu Beizong also noticed Xue Ling.
"Dare I ask who you are?" Hu Beizong looked at Xue Ling and asked.
"Xia Lin Xue." Xue Ling said calmly.
"Lin Xue, Lin Xue is such a good name." Hu Beizong murmured. After saying this, he turned his eyes to Fang Bie: "May I ask Fang Shaoxia, what is the purpose of telling me this?"
Hu Beizong asked with a confused look on his face.
Fang Bie sighed in his heart.
Anyone who can ascend to the position of a feudal official is a genius, especially those who climb up step by step. He really knows everything in his heart, but he still can't tell clearly. good friend.
Some words still need to be spoken more appropriately by other parties.
"Does it mean that Governor Hu is just going to stand by and watch?" Fang Bie looked at Hu Beizong and continued.
Hu Beizong looked at Fang Bie: "May I ask if Young Master Fang has any advice?"
Fang Bie could only turn his attention to Guang Jiqi. Faced with this kind of muddy Tai Chi push hand, Fang Bie was unable to use it, so he had to ask others for help.
Guang Jiqi smiled and said, "Sir Governor, please go with Fang Shaoxia to see Wang Zhi with your own eyes and talk to Wang Zhi in person. What do you think, Mr. Hu?"
"Okay." Hu Beizong finally nodded approvingly.
…
…
Hu Beizong stayed in this hut just waiting for the arrival of Fang Bie and Guang Jiqi. After meeting the two of them, there was no need to stay in the hut. The group continued to escort Hu Beizong back to the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, watching Hu Beizong re-entered the vermilion door, and Fang Bu stood outside the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Farewell: "Brother Fang, won't you go in together?"
"No, no, the official power inside is too great. I'm not used to it." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said with a smile, "Besides, I've always been used to controlling everything within my own abilities, but when I entered a strange place, I couldn't control it." Strength will naturally decrease."
"So this is why I told Shang Jiuge to hope to meet Hu Beizong there."
"That Miss Shang..." Guang Jiqi recalled Shang Jiuge's appearance, but Shang Jiuge left on his own after handing over Hu Beizong and did not stay there, so he only left Guang Jiqi with him. edge.
But although Miss Shang is no longer around, the legend of Miss Shang is still circulating in the world.
From the mouths of the guards, Guang Jiqi had roughly understood the whole story. There was no doubt that Zhao, the hive assassin who came to assassinate Hu Beizong, was definitely not inferior to Yan Jiu. After all, he was guarded by hundreds of people in full force. He entered a deserted place and wanted to kill Hu Beizong. If Shang Jiuge hadn't taken action in the end, he would probably have succeeded.
"Shang Jiuge." Fang Bie reminded quietly.
"Miss Shang seems to be very strong." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said thoughtfully.
"That's quite strong." Fang Bie sighed: "Do you know the Huashan faction? She is the leader of the Huashan faction, do you understand?"
"Huashan Sect? She?" Guangji Qi Huashan Sect still knows about it. After all, the Huashan Sect occupies the famous mountains and rivers of Huashan, and its reputation naturally spreads far and wide.
"She's too young." Shang Jiuge's natural talent makes it impossible for people to recognize her as Shang Jiuge.
"So she is Shang Jiuge." Fang Bie said lightly. At this moment, a housekeeper in gray clothes walked in from the gate of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion: "May I ask who is Miss Lin?"
Lin Xue was surprised: "I am."
"That's it. Your Excellency, please invite Miss Lin in for a chat. Do you dare to ask Miss Lin if you'd like me to show your favor?" The butler in gray clothes said softly, making no one feel the slightest bit disgusted.
"What if I don't go?" Lin Xue asked.
"My lord has said that if Miss Lin doesn't want to come, then she won't force her to come," said the butler in gray.
Lin Xue nodded and looked towards Fang Bie.
Fang Bie smiled: "You make the decision."
Lin Xue looked at the butler in gray clothes, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Fang Bie: "Then I'll go and come back."
The butler in gray watched all this calmly without saying a word. After Lin Xue made a decision, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Lin, come with me."
Fang Bie watched quietly as Lin Xue's back disappeared behind the Zhumen.
"Brother Fang, don't worry." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie's expression and said with a smile, "Master Hu has always been a serious person and not a womanizer."
Fang Bie laughed dumbly: "I'm not worried about this."
"I would like to ask if there is any connection between Governor Hu and the former commander of the Royal Guards."
"Master Jin Yiwei Commander?" Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie, his expression suddenly changed: "You mean Xue Ping?"
Xue Ping's reputation in the court was so great that when it came to the Commander of the Imperial Guards, almost everyone would default to the original Master Xue.
"Who else could it be if he wasn't him?" Fang Bie said with a faint smile: "Did Governor Hu receive any covert favor from that gentleman?"
Guang Jiqi was stunned. He looked around. If he wasn't worried about Fang Bie's martial arts, he might have rushed up to cover Fang Bie's mouth: "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
"That's right." Fang Bie smiled: "Anyway, General Guang doesn't seem to have a place to live in Yingtian Mansion."
"Then why not come and stay on my boat for a while."
…
…
Lin Xue followed the butler in gray all the way through the halls and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a small study.
"Girl, please come in, Mr. Hu is waiting inside." said the butler in gray.
Xue Ling nodded, patted her chest gently, calmed down her mood, and then pushed the door open and entered.
Just as the housekeeper in gray clothes said, Hu Beizong was sitting in front of the study window. In front of him was a clump of green bamboo, which was so green that it was very pleasant.
“An ancient saying goes, you can eat without meat, but you cannot live without bamboo.”
Hu Beizong raised his head and looked at Lin Xue: "Miss Lin, please see if the decorations in my study are in line with the girl's ideas."
Xue Ling didn't look around.
how to say.
The study room of the Governor of Liangjiang was of course decorated by famous artists. If the decoration of the study room is not good, there are only two possibilities. The first one is that the owner has a strange aesthetic taste and created a nondescript study room to impress the public after some blind instructions. The other one is that The first situation is that the previous owner put up a nondescript study room, and the next owner is too lazy or unable to change it, so he can only live with it.
Of course, Hu Beizong naturally does not fall into the above two situations. He was a Jinshi and had no political background. He was able to fight hard along the way and had outstanding political achievements. No matter how the king's flag was changed on the city wall, no matter which party was in power. , all need to appoint Hu Beizong, a capable minister and general. Now that Hu Beizong can assume the position of governor of Liangjiang and is as stable as Mount Tai, it can be said that he does not rely on anything else, just relying on the four words "he must be".
"Master Hu's study is naturally good." Xue Ling said.
"I wonder how it compares to Master Xue's study?" Hu Beizong said lightly.
Xue Ling looked at Hu Beizong: "I don't know what Mr. Hu means."
Hu Beizong smiled: "Do you know why I met Miss Xue here?"
"That year when I took office as the Governor-General of Liangjiang, the Japanese pirate rebellion was in full swing. I was exhausted and running around, thinking that my reputation might be ruined in one day."
"At this time, Mr. Xue Ping wrote from Yanjing and asked me if I was still used to living in Yingtian Mansion."
"I replied that food and accommodation are available, but there is no Jiazhu in the courtyard."
"On the tenth day after I sent the letter, Mr. Xue sent someone to bring some beautiful bamboos from Wuyi Mountain and sent them to me."
Hu Beizong pointed in front of him: "Look, these are the plants."
"When I came to the south of the Yangtze River, I didn't feel acclimated to the climate. On the contrary, the place where it grew became more verdant and pleasant."
Xue Ling said nothing.
Hu Beizong smiled and said, "You made me laugh."
"I wrote to Mr. Xue, saying that there is no bamboo here. Of course, it is not just as simple as there is no bamboo."
"After all, no matter how incompetent I am as the Governor of Liangjiang, I can't even get a few bamboos."
"What I was worried about at that time was that I had no one to use, and I had no good wood or good bamboo to make the pillars of the house."
"Master Xue Ping saw my difficulties at a glance, so not only did he deliver the bamboo, but the people who delivered the bamboo were some of Master Xue's most proud subordinates. They made suggestions for me, led troops in battles, and strategized. Chen Shouyang has really made great contributions."
"I used these bamboos for three years, and after three years, the foundation was set."
"When I wanted to return these bamboos to Master Xue, a shocking incident occurred in the court." Hu Beizong looked at Xue Ling: "Xue Ping, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, died mysteriously overnight."
"Master Xue Ping only married one wife in his life, and he had no sons, only one daughter."
"His intention is to prove to the emperor that he has no son, so he has no ambition."
"After all, in this world from ancient times to the present, apart from the Emperor Zetian, which woman has been able to ascend to the great treasure, the Nine-Five Lord?"
"Because the power in Master Xue's hands is too great."
"On weekdays, such a position should be occupied by a nine-thousand-year-old man. Although we scholars and officials do not like those eunuchs, even I have to admit that there is at least one good thing about eunuchs, but they cannot be emperors. , is the emperor’s dog.”
"He will bite whoever the emperor tells him to bite. If the emperor no longer wants to keep it, he can kill the dog by slipping a note from the palace gate and let the servants vent his anger. By the way, it can also be stewed and cooked with meat."
"Eunuchs are slaves all their lives, but Lord Xue is not a slave."
"It's just that I didn't expect that Mr. Xue was so loyal that he would eventually be jealous of the king and end up like this."
Xue Ling pursed her lips gently: "How did you recognize me?"
If what Hu Beizong said to Xue Ling today was heard by a third person, then it would be a crime of great disrespect.
Disrespect and bullying are both capital crimes.
"I met Miss Xue several times when she was young. However, I was not Lord Xue's confidant, not before, not now, and not in the future." Hu Beizong said lightly: "So I will never enter Lord Xue's house rashly. Private residence, I, Hu Zhenru, have no friends or party in my life, I only seek the benefit of the country and bring happiness to all people."
"I asked Mr. Xue for bamboo because I believe that Mr. Xue is also a pillar of the country who values the country, the country, and not the interests of cliques."
"Master Xue has been worthy of the country throughout his life."
Xue Ling bit her lip tightly: "Stop talking."
She murmured; "Say no more."
"How did my father die?"
"I don't want to figure it out anymore."
Because more and more evidence points to the only person who has the ability to do it, and what is unclear now are the details.
But what's the point of figuring out the details?
In the end, can Xue Ling really kill that person to take revenge?
"I actually don't know how Master Xue died." Hu Beizong sighed: "If the saint really had murderous intentions towards Master Xue, then he would just issue an edict to kill him. Even if he said that Master Xue was his disciple, he was an old official. No matter how big the world is, can it be bigger than that of Prime Minister Hu?"
"Why did Prime Minister Hu die? Mr. Xue can't escape either."
"But the specific cause of Master Xue's death is still a mystery."
"Even the positions of senior officials in the imperial court have not changed significantly."
"Actually, it's not just me. At least half of the officials in the DPRK and other parties have received more or less favors from Mr. Xue. For Mr. Xue, we have some compassion in our hearts, but for these compassionate hearts , we cannot do it if we directly question the saint about the above table.”
"But the voice from the bottom of your heart is the most undeceiving."
Hu Beizong looked at Xue Ling: "Actually, I called the girl here this time just to ask a question."
"What on earth is the girl thinking?"
"I want to inherit your father's legacy and complete his unfinished business."
"Or."
"I just want to live my life well."
