"...This is what I heard. Liu Canjun is so interested in the intelligence of the governor's office. I wonder if I can tell you why you came to Guancheng County this time? Or what mission you want to perform?"
In a private house in the south of Guancheng County, Ye Fashan and Liu Rengui sat opposite each other. He told Liu Rengui the news he had spied on at the governor's house in detail, and then he asked tentatively.
Liu Rengui's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked at Ye Fashan with a half-smile. After deciding for a long time, he smiled and said: "Little brother, Liu has informed you of his identity, but Liu still knows nothing about you. If you recognize Liu as a friend, shouldn’t you also introduce yourself~?”
Ye Fashan was silent. Although the Liu Rengui in front of him was not from Pan Zhenyue or the Cui family, he joined the army in Bianzhou and came to Guancheng County. His purpose and mission were also unknown, so the impact this person had on the situation It was uncontrollable. If he told Liu Rengui his true identity, if something unexpected happened, dozens of people in his second uncle's family and Xiao Yu'er would all be exposed!
But if Liu Rengui has the same goal as him, maybe he can help him break the situation!
This was a dilemma multiple-choice question. Ye Fashan hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Canjun, I am Ye Fashan, from the Ye family of Nanyang~!"
"Ye Fashan~? Nanyang Ye family?"
Liu Rengui frowned. He had never heard of the name Ye Fashan, but he had heard of the Ye family of Nanyang, because his ancestral home was Bianzhou, not far from Nanyang!
"Are you really Ye Fashan~? Why are you in Guancheng County~?"
At this moment, a dull voice suddenly came from the side of the main hall. Even though Ye Fashan had always been calm, he couldn't help being startled at this moment. He turned around and saw a lean old man in black robe walking from the side hall on the right. When he came out and saw the man's face clearly, Ye Fashan was really surprised and happy!
"Wei Zuocheng? Why are you here?"
Who else could the visitor be, if not Wei Zheng, who had disappeared for more than half a month and the soldiers and horses of the state capital were looking for him like crazy? It is precisely because of this that Ye Fashan is both surprised and happy!
Ye Fashan stayed in Chang'an City for almost half a year and met Wei Zheng several times. For example, on New Year's Eve last year, Li Er took his family and many civil and military officials to Yunshan to watch the fireworks. Ye Fashan met Wei Zheng once. !
However, Ye Fashan had met Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng had never paid attention to him. However, he had heard about the Nanyang Ye family going to the capital to recognize their relatives last year, so as soon as Ye Fashan announced his identity, Wei Zheng came out of the side hall!
Seeing Wei Zheng coming out, Liu Rengui didn't show any surprise on his face. He stood up and bowed his fist respectfully towards Wei Zheng: "I've seen Wei Zuocheng!"
Obviously, he knew beforehand that Wei Zheng was eavesdropping, or in other words, this interview was arranged by them in advance!
Wei Zheng nodded, then looked at Ye Fashan and said
"Oh! So you know me! Then I asked you, why do you want to govern the county~?"
Seeing that Wei Zheng and Liu Rengui were obviously in the same group, Ye Fashan no longer had any scruples in his heart at this moment. He answered truthfully: "Fashan is not the only one who came this time. There is another person, Li Yu, a reporter from Datang Daily. I came with her, and she was entrusted by my cousin to come to Zhengzhou to investigate the rebellion caused by bandits some time ago!"
"Oh~? Chang'an has received the news~?"
Wei Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said with a hint of joy in his tone.
Ye Fashan shook his head and said: "It was just hearsay at the time! There were rumors from traders that there have been many bandits near Zhengzhou recently. Li Yu and my cousin were worried and worried about your safety, Wei Zuocheng, so Li Yu and I came !”
"I see!"
Wei Zheng nodded, then sighed and said: "Alas! But now Guancheng County only allows entry and no exit. You are already stuck in the quagmire and can't extricate yourself! It seems that I am the one who has caused you trouble~!"
Ye Fashan said hurriedly: "Master Wei is devoted to the country and the people. He is the pillar of the country. Saving you alone can save millions of people. Although Fashan and Li Yu are in danger now, they have never regretted it!"
Liu Rengui, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Ye is really a close friend. Who in the entire Tang Dynasty doesn't know that Wei Zuocheng is a rare and good official? If it weren't for this, Liu would not have led his brothers and fought desperately to rescue Wei Zuocheng. ~!"
Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "How can I save tens of millions of people by just saving me? I can't afford that! Looking at the world, apart from the current Holy Emperor, I am afraid that only your cousin Marquis Yong'an has the ability to save tens of millions of people!"
Ye Fashan was silent. He was quite convinced of his cousin!
After a long pause, Ye Fashan looked at Wei Zheng and asked: "Wei Zuocheng, what Fashan heard from Liu Canjun is that the bandits broke into the city and caused trouble, and it was he who led the troops to rescue you~? What exactly happened? Can you tell me? ~?"
Wei Zheng smiled, glanced at Liu Rengui, and said, "You'd better ask Liu Canjun yourself this question!"
After Liu Rengui heard about Ye Fashan's origin, he also put away his guard at this moment. He grinned and said: "Haha! Actually, it's nothing! At the beginning of last month, Liu suddenly received an order from the governor (Bianzhou) to let me With more than 200 elites, they sneaked into Guancheng County in batches with only one purpose, and that was to secretly protect Wei Zuocheng!
At that time, Liu still had doubts about this transfer order, but the governor told Liu that this was the order of the Jiedushi Master, so Liu did not dare to disobey, so he selected the elite of the army and sneaked into Guancheng County secretly!
On the fifteenth day of last month, bandits sneaked into Guancheng County. Hundreds of bandits sneaked into the city in batches. They suddenly broke out, injured thousands of people, and rushed into the government office. Although the imperial army brought by Wei Zuocheng was well-trained, they were outnumbered. Death!
Taking advantage of the fight between bandits and the imperial army, Liu knocked Wei Zuocheng unconscious and took him away, secretly hiding in the tunnel of the City God's Temple! A few days later, the storm calmed down, and we quietly returned to the ground and moved into the house we purchased earlier! But just in case, Wei Zuocheng usually hides in the tunnel during the day! "
After Ye Fashan heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked doubtfully: "Liu Canjun, how did you discover the tunnel in the City God's Temple~?"
Liu Rengui laughed and said: "This tunnel is not original. As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice can burrow when they give birth! There are two brothers among Liu's subordinates, and their ancestors are both It is naturally easy for them to dig a tunnel with the very famous Captain Mo Jin~!"
