The Golden Age Chapter 611: Carefully watch the changes

Suzhou Governor's Mansion.

Pan Weixing was assassinated last night and stayed up all night. When Qin Xiao saw the old man, the old man looked very bad.

"Qiao Shenggong was hired." Pan Weixing opened the door and washed his eyebrows and eyes with strong tea, and motioned Qin Xiao to sit down: "This person's mouth is also serious. Ma Changshi has been interrogated for a long time, but Qiao Shenggong did not jump out a word. Fortunately, Chen Shaojian came forward and heard that Qiao Shenggong saw Chen Xi and knew Chen Xi’s identity. At that time, he was so frightened that he was very scared."

Qin Xiao just smiled and didn't speak.

"Chen Shaojian hasn't used the punishment yet, Qiao Shenggong recruited everything." Pan Weixing took a sip of tea, coughed, spit into the spittoon, put down his teacup and said: "That Haixuan, it has been determined that it is Linghuxuan Up."

Qin Xiao asked: "Qiao Shenggong confessed that Linghu Xuan was General Kuhai?"

"Exactly." Pan Weixing smiled slightly: "Not only that, Qiao Shenggong also confessed to the great things." He didn't rush to say, called someone over, and said: "Go and see if Ma Changshi and Chen Shaojian got up. , And also call Wei Biejia and Liu Tongling over."

Waiting for the people to retreat, Pan Weixing said: "Everything has been revealed, and Qiao Shenggong and his party entered the city to meet the Queen Mother's Association in the city."

"Has been found out?"

Pan Weixing nodded and said in a low voice: "The old lady didn't expect that the Queen Mother's Club had been lurking in Suzhou City for nearly ten years. The Taoist Huang Yang of Tai Xuan Guan was the target of Qiao Shenggong and his party who came to the streets of the city. Qiao Shenggong confessed. , Tai Xuan Guan is the lair of the Queen Mother’s Association in Suzhou City."

This is Qin Xiao's expected confession, and asked: "My lord, what do you want to do when these two groups meet in the city?"

"The old man asked someone to check it before. Taoist Huangyang came to Suzhou City for almost ten years, and the time he came to Suzhou City was after the Shence Army suppressed the Queen Mother's Association in Qingzhou." Pan Wei sat in a chair. Go up, caress the long beard: "So it can be concluded that the Taoist Huangyang was a fish that slipped through the net of the Qingzhou Queen Mother Association. After escaping, he pretended to be a Taoist priest and came to Suzhou to enter the Taixuan Temple. This Taoist really has some abilities. He actually sat on the seat of Taixuan Guanzhu." Looking at Qin Xiao, he smiled and said: "But when he came to Suzhou, the old man was still far away in Kyoto."

Qin Xiao knows that Pan Weixing's seemingly random sentence is nothing more than to get rid of the relationship. Even if there is a crime of oversight, the main responsibility lies with the previous governors.

"The Taoist Huangyang secretly developed the congregation of the Queen Mother in the city. The Taoists in the Taoist Temple are all rebellious." Pan Weixing leaned on the chair and sneered: "But the Queen Mother will have the real mind in Suzhou, really Linghu. Xuan. Linghu Xuan is General Kuhai. He sent people into the city and discussed with Taoist Huang Yang about rebellion."

Qin Xiao calmly asked, "Linghu Xuanguo really wants to rebel?"

"They are scheduled to act on the Mid-Autumn Festival of August." Pan Weixing said: "At that time, Linghuxuan led the Taihu pirates to land, and drove straight into Suzhou City. The mission of Huangyang Old Road was to wait until the Taihu pirates. When they come, they will meet in the city. At that time, they will gather the congregation in the city, attack the west gate of Suzhou city from the city, and after seizing the city gate, Kaicheng will release the Taihu thief in. Fortunately, we learned of their conspiracy, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Taihu Lake Pirates, really have the guts to attack Suzhou City?"

Pan Weixing sneered and said: "The Queen Mother Club is a group of mobs who do not live or die. However, they are not overbearing to attack Suzhou City.

Qiao Shenggong confessed that after he took the city of Suzhou, he could attract soldiers and horses from Yangzhou and Hangzhou camps. Then those two soldiers and horses would come to rescue Suzhou and defend against emptiness. The Queen Mother's Association would still be in Yanghang. Two states took advantage of the vacancy to enter. "

"Sure enough, it was deliberately cunning."

"The old man wrote a letter early in the morning, and sent people to Yanghang and Hangzhou two states quickly, so that they will be on guard." Pan Weixing said: "In Suzhou, the Queen Mother is definitely not allowed to rebel. Qin Shaoqing, the old man has been with you overnight. They negotiated a plan to attack Taixuan Temple tonight and wipe out the Queen Mother’s Association in the city. It is best to capture Taoist Huang Yang. If this person falls into our hands, he will surely be able to interrogate more confessions. The lair of the Queen’s Club in Yanghang and Hangzhou can also be pried out of his mouth."

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "My lord is going to act tonight?"

"Qin Shaoqing can rest assured, this credit will naturally not miss you." Pan Weixing smiled: "If it weren't for Chen Shaojian last night, it wouldn't have been so smoothly from Qiao Shenggong's confession to be tried. Tonight, we will arrest Taixuanguan's rebellion. Kou, you will also go with you. If everything goes well, the old man will show his merits for you in the Zhezi."

"My lord, the next official is not worried about this." Qin Xiao said: "If you attack Taixuanguan at this time, will you start to stun the snake and let Linghuxuan have a defensive heart?"

Pan Weixing stroked his beard and said: "The old man also discussed with them last night, thinking about not moving Tai Xuan Guan for the time being, and next ordered Ling Hu Xuan to come to Suzhou City. As long as he comes, he will be taken immediately on the spot. However, when you think about it carefully, Linghuxuan is very cunning. He has never entered Suzhou City for so many years. Even if he is given an order, he will probably find a reason to refuse. If this is the case, you can still give it a try. You can even ask the saint to call him into Beijing.” Then he sighed and said: “But Dong Yuan was killed, this matter has been spread, and Linghuxuan will soon get news, too. The Queen Mother will respond in the city. Since something has happened to him, Linghuxuan will surely guess that things have changed. It is absolutely impossible to leave Taihu Lake at this time."

Qin Xiao hesitated and asked: "Tai Xuan Guan will know what happened to the Dong family last night. My lord, if Taoist Huang Yang is the queen mother, will he run away after knowing this?"

"After Qiao Shenggong confessed, the old man has sent someone to monitor Taixuanguan." Pan Weixing was obviously satisfied with his timely response: "There are people arranged by the old man around Taixuanguan. If they want to escape, they will be immediately I found out, so this time it’s hard for them to fly with their wings."

Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then I saw Ma Xingguo and Chen Xi walking in one after another, Chen Xi was in good spirits, but Ma Changshi was still tired, obviously not sleeping well. .

"Morning for two!" Qin Xiao said hello.

Chen Xi just nodded, but Ma Xingguo said with some pride: "Qin Shaoqing, I interrogated Chen Shaojian overnight, and we really got a confession. Fortunately, there was Chen Shaojian, and Qiao Shenggong's mischief immediately scared him when he saw the adult in Ziyijian. I have broken my guts, and I have done everything that should or shouldn’t be done.” He arched his hand to Pan Weixing, and then sat down: “Hai Xuan’s identity has been figured out. I guessed it right last night, really. It is Linghuxuan, the word'Xuan' in Haixuan, I guess it has something to do with Linghuxuan...!"

Pan Weixing coughed twice, and Ma Xingguo immediately knew that he had made a mistake. After all, Pan Weixing said last night that he should not make a decision just because one word is the same.

"The old man who should talk about talked to Qin Shaoqing." Pan Weixing said: "Xingguo, to arrest the Taoist Huangyang tonight, Qin Shaoqing will personally lead the team, for

Don't rush the grass and startle the snake, don't mobilize the Suzhou camp outside the city, let your people act directly. "

Ma Xingguo, as a long history, has a warrior and horse under his hand. The number is small, less than 400 people. It is mainly used to guard the gates of Suzhou City. The public security in the city is controlled by the prefect. The government’s government officials are responsible. The combined strength of the Changshi Mansion and the Prefect’s Yamen is more than 600 people. In addition, the Governor’s Mansion also has three hundred elite soldiers. These nearly a thousand soldiers and horses can maintain the order in Suzhou City. It is not a last resort. Easily mobilize the Suzhou camp outside the city.

After the saint ascended the throne, the rebellion in three states and seven counties was finally suppressed, but the saint exercised strict control over the local soldiers and horses. Once some state capital battalions had a military strength of 10,000, and the land was vast. There were even more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Xichuan Yizhou camp, which was eventually reduced. Except for a handful of state capitals, there are still 5,000 people in the camp, and most of the capital camps are only two to three thousand.

Ma Xing Guodao: "After the official check, Tai Xuan Guan now has 23 Taoist priests. Even if all of them are the Queen Mother congregation, it is not to be afraid. The official drew two hundred people, and then drew one from the prefect Yamen. More than a hundred people, three hundred people are enough to wipe out the rebellion of Tai Xuan Guan."

"Don't move the government officials of the prefectural government." Pan Weixing thought for a while, and ordered: "A hundred and fifty people from the governor's mansion, including fifty archers, are so foolproof."

The elite soldiers of the Provincial Government are naturally the most effective, and 100 of the 300 elite soldiers are archers with excellent archery skills. Ma Xingguo heard that 50 archers would be transferred to participate in the operation, and he was even more delighted and said with a smile:" Don’t worry, adults. With these people, Daoist Huang Yang will be captured alive."

"This is the most important thing." Pan Weixing looked at Qin Xiao and said: "Qin Shaoqing, these 300-odd people will be handed over to you, and you will lead the arrest of anti-thief."

Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled: "The subordinates can take part in the arrest, but they don't know how to command the soldiers and horses. What happened tonight is extraordinary, and it must not be broken."

"So let Liu Tong lead the team." Ma Xingguo really didn't want to send this credit to Qin Xiao, and was too embarrassed to grab it himself. He recommended Liu Hongju: "Liu Tong leads the troops well. And he is also a brave general, my lord, the next official thought, let Liu command the arrest operation tonight, there is nothing wrong."

Pan Weixing knew that Liu Hongju, as the leader of the Suzhou camp, would only act like this a piece of cake, and there really shouldn’t be anything wrong with his actions tonight. Since Qin Xiao took the initiative to resign, Pan Weixing did not insist, saying:" Then let Liu Hongju lead the team."

"Tell the old man, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go." Wei Biejia’s voice came from outside the door, and Wei Tairan entered the door and arched his hands to everyone. Then he said: "I just got the report, Commander Liu. I got a shoulder injury last night and I didn’t take care of it properly. I started a fever early in the morning and asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine."

Ma Xingguo frowned and said: "The leader of the army, the iron-struck body, can't hold it after a short knife, but Liu Hongju's body is getting worse and worse."

"He also worked hard last night." Pan Weixing said very kindly: "Moreover, he was injured. It is indeed inconvenient to participate in the action tonight. Xingguo, this matter is still up to you. It is naturally better to be able to capture Taoist Huangyang. However, one must not let one of the twenty-three Taoist priests of Taixuanguan escape." Then he asked Wei Tairan, "Tairan, how is the situation at Yuelai Inn?"

Qin Xiao immediately looked at Wei Tairan. He remembered clearly that Tu Kuohai and Linghu Wanqiong were living in the Yuelai Inn in the southern city of Suzhou.
