[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 210 [English]

Chapter 202 Connection

Huo Lingyun had seen wolves. In the wilderness of Dengzhou, those skinny wolves ran with their tails between their legs in King Yi’s hunting ground, their eyes so hungry that they glowed green.But at this moment, what he saw was the wolf from Libei. Not only was he strong, but he was also so powerful that he was so pressed that he could hold the chain and even the muscles in his back were tense.

Huo Lingyun couldn’t breathe, because if he opened his mouth again, Xiao Chiye would strangle his throat.He knelt here, the surrounding atmosphere was completely dominated by Xiao Chiye, it was like the illusion of being pressed on the back of the head.

Xiao Chiye asked Huo Lingyun to kneel down and lower his head.

Huo Lingyun was sweating in the long silence. He didn’t want to compromise, but when he came back to his senses, he had already looked away and lowered his head.

The Libei Iron Cavalry has never won again after that heavy snowfall, and now the fighting in the battlefield is very frustrating. The era when the Iron Cavalry dominated the northern battlefield is gone forever.Huo Lingyun originally wanted to dampen Xiao Chiye’s energy and level the negotiating position between the two parties here, but he hit the iron plate firmly and was pinned to the ground by Xiao Chiye.

Xiao Chiye’s shadow did not move. He lowered his gaze and fixed it on the back of Huo Lingyun’s head, repeating indifferently: “Okay?”

Huo Lingyun clenched his teeth in frustration and felt unwillingness in his throat.

I was actually scared!

Xiao Chiye is completely different from Shen Zechuan. At certain moments, he will not give in. He will dominate, hold down the heads of all those who provoke him, and only give the opponent one way to go. The early Forbidden Army knew this well.

Shen Zechuan clasped the lid of the tea and tapped it with his fingers.With the power of recovery, this slight movement miraculously relieved the pressure in the room, allowing Fei Sheng, who was still kneeling, to resume breathing.

Gu Jin outside the door exhaled slightly and released his hand holding the handle of the knife.

It wasn’t until Huo Lingyun’s back was completely soaked that the shadow that shrouded him retreated.Xiao Chiye did not look away, he just leaned back into his comfort zone, as if he had lost interest in Huo Lingyun who lowered his head.

Shen Zechuan now opened the tea lid and said while drinking tea: “You know the situation in Duanzhou very well.”

The two men succeeded each other seamlessly, but both exuded a dangerous aura.Huo Lingyun’s palms were all sweaty. He retracted his contempt and became more and more sure that he was not wrong.

“Scorpion approached King Yi,” Huo Lingyun decided to show his sincerity. “In December last year, he instigated King Yi to raid Chazhou and cut off the connection between you and Qidong. For this reason, he gave King Yi a batch of firecrackers.”

Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye both thought of the white scorpion in this flash of lightning. These side plots were hidden in the depths of Dazhou, and they cooperated with Amul inside and outside, piercing Dazhou’s heart.

Last December was the point where the Libei cavalry turned from offense to defense. If King Yi had the guts to follow Scorpion’s instigation and raid Chazhou, then Shen Zechuan would inevitably be restrained and his aid to Libei would be reduced.Another point is that as long as the road to Chazhou is cut off, Qi Zhuyin will have to go northward from the east side of Tianfei Palace, passing through Fanzhou. When the scorpions are ambushed on the way, the commander-in-chief will be in danger of his life.

“They are staring at Marshal Qi.” Shen Zechuan looked at Xiao Chiye, unfinished words in his eyes.

Hasen surrounded Xiao Fangxu not only to attack Li Bei, but also to take the opportunity to fish out Qi Zhuyin. As expected, Amul knew Zhou well.

“But King Yi didn’t move. He was willing to be a coward in Fanzhou, and then you blew his head off with a blunderbuss.” Xiao Chiye said coldly, “Did Scorpion find you?”

Huo Lingyun stared at his knees and said, “No.”

“You lied,” Shen Zechuan raised his eyes with tea foam floating on his face, and said firmly through the delicate heat, “You have been in contact with scorpions.”

When Shen Zechuan was in Jinyiwei, he served as governor of the north and south successively, and his stay in the imperial prison was not short.He has his own way of judging people, just like he once deceived Ji Lei and Xi Hongxuan. In conversations, he is good at using the environment to manipulate the atmosphere.

Sometimes you can’t say too much. At that moment, the other person will naturally think of more.

Huo Lingyun must stay awake. He is kneeling here. If he answers a wrong question, his head may be missing.He took a deep breath under the pressure of the two people, as if to persuade himself to calm down.He has reached the end, and the worst situation is now, so when he looks up again, he has regained some composure.

“That’s right,” Huo Lingyun said, “I have been in contact with Scorpion long before King Yi. In the sixth year of Xiande, my father won the battle. He sent people to persuade my father to give up Fanzhou and promised to give my father a title, but my father refused.”

Shen Zechuan tilted his head slightly, and the redness in the corners of his eyes was hidden by the slanting shadow of the backlight. He said, “You said ‘he’.”

Not them.

Huo Lingyun recalled that night a few years ago, the carriage from Qudu carried a valuable letter.Huo Qing stood by the candlelight and opened it, feeling the heavy promise inside.

If Bianjun is the most miserable place in Qidong, then Dengzhou is the poorest state in Zhongbo. The two places are similar in poverty. The only advantage of Dengzhou is that it does not have to face the impact of the border cavalry all the time like Bianjun.After the defeat of Zhongbo, Huo Qing was troubled by banditry. He was trapped in this corner without any help from the court.

That letter was Huo Qing’s last chance to get out of trouble, but he didn’t accept it and ended up being buried in the dog’s belly.

“Yes he,” Huo Lingyun bit the word tightly, “This man is hiding in Qidu. The person who can make such a promise is definitely not an ordinary person.After my father refused the bribe, he was impeached by Peng Gou. Therefore, the Ministry of War refused to promote my father and believed Peng Gou’s lies.Then the Dengzhou bandits resurfaced at that time.Yang Qiu went to Fanzhou and joined forces with Cuiqing to establish a brothel business, started reselling women again, and took the opportunity to get in touch with Lei Changming in Luoshan.”

Connected!

Shen Zechuan remembered his confusion when checking Yan’s account books in Dunzhou. Why did Biansha leave no trace of the large amount of materials he stole from Dazhou?Because they are not at all on the line of Dun, Luo and Duan, Lei Changming and Lei Jingzhe are just Amul’s deception in the northeast of Zhongbo from beginning to end.

No wonder Yan Heru is confident about this matter. He has indeed never touched these goods, but he must know about it because all the merchants in his hands have dealings with Cuiqing.Shen Zechuan combined with Yu Xiaozai’s report on Peng Fangmiao’s impeachment of Huo Qing in the sixth year of Xiande, which further confirmed the speculation.

“The goods came from Fanzhou,” Shen Zechuan held the tea cup. “They sent the goods directly to the banks of the Chashi River, without even passing through Dunzhou.”

“he” initially wanted to use his title to bribe Huo Qing to become a white scorpion and turn the Dengzhou garrison in Huo Qing’s hands into a delivery guard. After being rejected by Huo Qing, “he” went to Peng Fangmiao, the capital of Dengzhou. Peng Fangmiao accepted the bribe and violently impeached Huo Qing.

“You Jing,” Shen Zechuan suddenly asked Yu Xiaozai, “In which year was Peng Fangmiao sent to Dengzhou? Whose student was he before?”

Yu Xiao thought hard again and could only say: “…I can’t remember clearly. Four years after Xiande, Zhongbo neglected its management and the four prefectures of Duan, Dun, Fan and Deng were replaced frequently. I can only remember the impeachment memorial…”

The officialdom is like a sea. There are so many big and small positions in Qudu alone, and the local trivial matters are even more complicated. Let alone Zhongbo, it is impossible for the prime ministers and juniors of each county from Juexi Thirteen City down to remember them all, let alone such trivial details as how many years the other party was decentralized and who has received guidance.

You must know that in Qudu, if you deliver a famous invitation to visit a high-ranking family, as long as the host is willing to meet and can say a few words, you can claim to be the other party’s “student” when you walk out of the door, and you will always call him “teacher” when you meet.Moreover, after the year of Xiande, the Hua and Pan parties brought trouble to the court and had countless lackeys under their command.

“Ding Tao,” Xiao Chiye was silent for a moment, “come in.”

Ding Tao appeared anxiously, frightened by Xiao Chiye’s expression, and walked in hand in hand.Everyone in the room looked at Ding Tao. He opened his eyes and wanted to look at Shen Zechuan, but he didn’t dare.

Xiao Chiye was not in a hurry, he moved his arm slightly and asked Ding Tao: “Do you still remember the name ‘Peng Fangmiao’?”

Ding Tao shook his head blankly.

Qiao Tianya outside had an idea and suddenly said: “Taozi, this person should be on the reference list of the staff in Xiande four years later. If you think about it again, Hua Siqian, Wei Huaigu, and even Pan Rugui.”

In the fourth year of Xiande, the Biansha cavalry massacred the city. The remaining people in Dengzhou were the Tantai Tigers, who were incorporated into the Forbidden Army by Xiao Chiye. The original capital of Dengzhou also died in the massacre. Peng Fangmiao could only be an official sent here after the fourth year of Xiande.

In addition to being able to write, Ding Tao also had an amazing memory. The He family’s notebook was modeled after Jin Yiwei’s audio notes, which Ding Tao was familiar with when he was following his father.When he was in Qudu, Qiao Tianya once visited Libei Prince’s Mansion at night, but was blocked by Ding Tao and Gu Jin. The hidden weapon thrown by him at that time, Ding Tao, could tell the story at a glance, which Qiao Tianya still remembers freshly.

Ding Tao took out the small book and was silent amidst the clattering sound of turning pages.

When Yu Xiao saw the situation again, he also recalled it and said unconsciously: “We are all procurators…”

Ding Tao’s eyes suddenly lit up, he stuck the page, and said: “The Procuratorate! Yes, the Procuratorate! Master,” Ding Tao looked at Shen Zechuan as if asking for reward, “Qudu committed an assassination! At that time, the Imperial Procuratorate on the side of the Jinyi Guard wanted to investigate the master, and there was a man named Fu at that time, that was he!”

Fu Linye.

Of course Shen Zechuan remembered the assassination case. He noticed the problem of Quanchengsi during that investigation. At that time, it was Fu Linye who was the censor of Youdu who was responsible for the investigation of Libei Palace.

Yu Xiao slapped his thigh again and even stood up.He laughed because of himself, and he and Ding Tao both laughed, and said: “Then I also remembered, Mr. Fu, before Fu Linye’s assassination, everyone thought that he was a poor official! It was because of Fu Linye that he suffered the second master at that time. He, this turtle grandson, has already gotten together with Wei Huaigu!”

Four years later in Xiande, there was a competition between the aristocratic family and the poor family. At that time, Hua Siqian was in charge of the cabinet, and the Queen Mother and Pan Rugui were assisting. Hai Liangyi could only rely on the participation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to prevent Hua and Pan’s minions from running rampant. Fu Linye pretended to be a human being at that time, and had considerable influence on Hai Liangyi and other officials from the poor family in the consideration of the Ministry of Household Reference List.

“If it was Fu Linye who put Peng Fangmiao in Dengzhou,” Shen Zechuan paused for a moment, “then Wei Huaigu or even Xi Hongxuan might be ‘he’.”
