Turbulent Times Chapter 140: The first old man in Kaisui

(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Fat Dudu'.)

Qin Anhou Mansion, the original martial arts training ground, has been completely turned into a wild ground for blood-maned horses and little lynxes. At this time, Wang Junlin was feeding the blood-maned horse and the little lynx with his own hands. After the blood-maned horse was full, it rubbed its head on Wang Junlin's body intimately, and the little lynx burrowed into Wang Junlin's arms vigorously. From time to time, he licked Wang Junlin's face with his barbed tongue.

Wang Junlin simply hugged the little lynx, galloped onto the blood-maned horse, and began to run wildly in the martial arts field. After running for half an hour, the blood-maned horse stopped, but Wang Junlin The extremely human grievance can still be seen from his eyes.

Wang Junlin knew that it was because the training ground was too small. With the wild personality of a blood-maned horse and the IQ of a four- or five-year-old child, it was no wonder that he was not wronged here. On the contrary, the little lynx has followed Wang Junlin since its birth, but it is already used to living with humans, and it will not affect the little guy running around in the Hou's mansion, so it is better than the blood-maned horse. Live a little more freely.

Wang Junlin hugged the blood-maned horse's head, and said in his ear, "Brother, bear with me, I will take you out of the city to have fun after I finish some things these days."

As if understanding Wang Junlin's words, the blood-maned horse raised its head and neighed happily.

Wang Junlin patted the blood-maned horse on the head, then turned and left the racetrack. The little lynx took a look at the blood-maned horse, sprang out briskly, followed Wang Junlin's buttocks and left.

When Wang Junlin returned to the study, Shen Guang was already waiting here. Seeing him coming, he quickly stepped in and saluted him respectfully.

"What's the reaction of all parties now?" Wang Junlin nodded to Shen Guang and asked casually.

Shen Guang quickly said: "Reporting to Lord Hou, Yang Xuangan, the eldest son of Yang Su sent by the Duke of Yue, went to Jingzhao Mansion to visit Jingzhao Yin Wang Tong, but the latter did not release Yang Xiong."

"Oh!" Wang Junlin was a little surprised. In his opinion, with Yang Su's face and Yang Feng's tragic death in this matter, Wang Tong should let Yang Xiong go soon.

Shen Guang saw the doubts in Wang Junlin's heart, and quickly added an explanation: "Half an hour after He Ruobi returned home from the Shangzhu Kingdom, he hurried into the palace to face the saint. Kneeling to the emperor in the study and crying loudly, begging the emperor to make decisions for him, and killing Yang Xiong to avenge his son He Ruojin. In addition, the yamen servant who was seriously injured by Yang Xiong was dead, and the family of the yamen servant gathered More than 20 clansmen knelt in front of the Jingzhao Mansion and demanded that the government severely punish the murderer."

Wang Junlin looked stunned, nodded, and said: "So that's the case, it's just...it was expected with He Ruobi's character to enter the palace to face the saint, but how could Yang Su let that yamen servant do it with his prudence?" The family members gathered in Jingzhao Mansion to make trouble, but Yang Su failed to stop the incident, which shows that someone behind the incident was deliberate."

Speaking of this, Wang Junlin thought of Chen Danying who shot Yang Feng to death with an arrow. He found out through the Nighthawk Envoy that Prince Yang Guang was behind the Chunnv Building. He thought Chen Danying was Yang Guang's man. But it is well known that Yang Su is a member of Yang Guang's lineage, if Chen Danying was really a member of Yang Guang, how could he kill Yang Su's grandson.

"Two possibilities, one is that Chen Danying has another identity, and has a lot of grudges with the Yue government. The other is that there is another force with the same purpose as mine, which wants to provoke the founding of the Sui Dynasty to rejuvenate The powerful families are fighting among themselves, but their behavior is a bit extreme."

"There may be more than one family with such motives. Yang Jian has such an idea, and Yang Lihua probably wants to do the same. In addition, there may be forces hidden in the dark that I don't know about."

Wang Junlin's mind turned, and he already had a general idea, and said, "Where is the Changping Palace?"

Shen Guang said: "There is no response at the moment."

Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "It's not that there is no response, but our ability to inquire about information is still too poor. At most, we can only inquire about the other party's itinerary and open news. We can't always rely on Nighthawk envoys." Come to inquire about the news, after all, it does not belong to us, they have their own purpose."

When Shen Guang heard the words, his heart moved, he remembered something, and said: "Master Hou, I have one more thing to report to you."

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

"When I was shopping in the Dayun Building today, an injured guard of the Yang family crawled under the dining table and attacked Qiu Fu with a crossbow, but I couldn't find the guard afterward. The guards are not the real guards of the Yang family, they are disguised by someone taking advantage of the chaos."

Shen Guang was speaking, took out a crossbow arrow from his bosom, presented it to Wang Junlin with both hands and said, "Humble staff managed to find that crossbow arrow afterwards."

Wang Junlin took a closer look at the crossbow bolts after receiving them. There were no marks on them, and nothing special could be seen.

"What is your judgment?" Wang Junlin handed the arrow to Shen Guang.

Shen Guang obviously had some ideas, and immediately said: "No one knows about the plan of the Universiade Restaurant except Lord Hou and Beizhi. Even Zheng Guangan only knows about his own affairs. Is it the fake guards under the dining table, or the mysterious man from the Yimingxuan Teahouse? Both of them happened to be in the Universiade Restaurant or nearby because they were secretly staring at you, Master Hou. Decision. And the purpose of these two people should be the same as ours, but they are more ruthless and unscrupulous."

"Yes, your analysis makes sense." Wang Junlin nodded appreciatively, looked at Shen Guang and said, "From now on, we will build our own intelligence system, and you will be solely responsible for this matter. Go down and think about it carefully, and come up with a general plan. In a few days, there will be a hundred guards from Gaotai City in the Northwest, all of whom I can trust. You can choose fifty of them as your backbone. Training, establish a preliminary intelligence structure, and then find ways to absorb and develop peripheral personnel. You can consider the underground gangs in the capital, or even those beggars and vendors in the streets and alleys. How much start-up capital or other materials and weapons are needed? I will find a way to satisfy you. But you must create a strong intelligence team for me as soon as possible.”

There was excitement in Shen Guang's eyes, but he didn't expect Wang Junlin to trust him so much, and he only took refuge in him for a few days before entrusting him with such an important task and position. Those who die, Shen Guang is in such a mood now, and immediately clasped his fists and said loudly: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will complete the task in a lowly position, and build a strong intelligence team for Lord Hou as soon as possible."

Wang Junlin felt Shen Guang's initial loyalty to him, and he couldn't help but feel very relieved, and said, "Go to Zhan Peng now and ask him to fetch you five hundred taels of gold from the warehouse. You should make preliminary preparations first." .”

Shen Guang took a deep breath, respectfully clasped his fists and said, "I obey you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left quickly. Wang Junlin gave him a lot of inspiration just now. He had dealt with people of all kinds and religions and all kinds of people over the years, and he already had some ideas. Can't wait to implement it.

…

As the first prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Yan has too many names, such as the first hero of the Sui Dynasty, the first old man of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, and so on! But no matter what the name is, it represents the advocating honor, as well as the incomparable prestige among the civil and military officials of the court and the scholars in the world. The most important thing is that his disciples among the civil and military officials in the world are too old. Qinhu, He Ruobi and others were all recommended by Gao Yan back then. It is for this reason that he is now idle at home.

In the nineteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang, Yang Jian had already decided to abolish the former prince Yang Yong. He first removed Yang Yong's wings, and Gao Yan was the first to bear the brunt. , so Gao Yan was immediately charged with crimes by Yang Jian and demoted to the people.

Three years later, Gao Jiong seems to have become as calm as water. He reads at home, occasionally goes to a restaurant to have a drink or two, and listens to the voices of the people. He had solemnly warned him the last time that he was already an extremely human minister, and if he went up, he would turn around, and he took it very seriously.

In the study, Gao Jiong is talking with his son Hongde. Gao Hongde is Gao Jiong's second son. His wife is the daughter of the former prince Yang Yong. He is also Gao Jiong's favorite son.

Gao Hongde wanted to persuade his father to go to the palace to visit Empress Dugu. He said: "If the emperor hadn't summoned me, I would never take the initiative to go to the palace again. I know you are not willing to serve the people at home, but don't persuade me about this matter."

Gao Yan knows better than anyone else that his prestige is too high, his disciples are too old, and he has an inseparable relationship with the former prince. If he shows up again, Yang Jian's character may not kill him, but the current prince Yang Guang was a decisive and ruthless person. Maybe before he became emperor, he would send someone to make him die violently. Not to mention, his whole family of hundreds of people, young and old, would not even want to live.

Gao Hongde had resentment in his heart, but he was helpless. Just as he was about to continue persuading his father, a butler's voice came from the door: "Master, King Changping is begging to see you."

"Qiu Rui?" Gao Yan was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't care about world affairs, he also knew a series of major events that had happened since the poisonous general entered Beijing, including the big event that shocked the court just today. Yunlou **** case. So he knew that the current Qiu Rui was roasting on the fire. But this person doesn't want to solve his predicament now, so why come to him?

Thinking in his heart, Gao Yan immediately said to his son Gao Hongde: "Hongde, please go to the gate and invite King Changping in for me."
