: A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain

Jiang Huaice looked at Xue Ning's regretful expression and said, "If Pang Dong intends to hide it, you won't be able to find out. I will disguise myself and go to Liaodong to investigate."

His expression was thoughtful. Corruption, counterfeit currency, mining, these things must be related to rebellion. Thinking of the past life, the Shen family was implicated in the rebellion.

There was a trace of pain on his face. This time, he would never allow such a thing to happen again, and would never watch the rebels enter the city and kill everyone he cared about.

Xue Ning agreed: "Yes, my cousin is also in Liaodong. Please help me check if my father and cousin are well at home."

She smiled and made fists with her hands, remembering that when she went to the border area, she promised that she would go back as soon as possible, but it seemed that it would take a while longer.

But what puzzled her was why Pang Dong started such a big battle. Even if he wanted to rebel, he wouldn't be so eager.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Huaice set off for Liaodong. He disguised himself as a beggar and found a set of tattered clothes from nowhere. There were rotten vegetable leaves on his body, and his face was covered with mud, making it impossible to see his true face.

The guards of Liaodong Dusi were very strict, and they checked him thoroughly before letting him in. Jiang Huaice nodded and hunched over, pretending to be a real beggar, before sneaking in.

After coming in, he found that both sides of the road were almost full of beggars, and there were very few shops left, with few open.

He frowned, found a place to sit down, and looked carefully. Although Liaodong Dusi was far away on the border and at the junction of the two countries, it was not in such a depressed state.

Not to mention that he had also been to Liaodong Dusi. Compared with the scene a few years ago, it was truly earth-shaking.

"Heaven wants to destroy me, Yong, hahaha, I will die!"

While I was thinking about it, I saw a drunkard holding a wine flask nearby. He was speaking plausibly, but he was reciting some poem about national subjugation.

"Crying back tears, I asked the envoy: When will the Sixth Army really come? Your Majesty, can you really not see what kind of hell on earth is in Liaodong, thousands of miles away?"

Where he was still looking up to the sky in grief, Jiang Huaice saw the guards approaching not far away who were alerted by his voice. He lowered his head, walked quickly to the drunkard, and took him to a hidden alley.

"Beggar? You saved me."

The drunk man opened his hazy eyes, seemingly confused about the situation at this time. Jiang Huaice lowered his voice and said, "Are you really not afraid of being arrested for reciting poems about national subjugation on the street?"

"What are you afraid of? You won't be able to survive anyway. Liaodong is over, and it will be Huaijing's turn soon."

He leaned against the wall and took another sip of wine. As if he had come to his senses, he pointed at Jiang Huaice and said, "You are not a beggar. Beggars don't understand this."

Lou Qingbin smiled foolishly, and Jiang Huaice also smiled and asked: "What happened in Liaodong."

The bright token lit up, and Lou Qingbin's vision instantly returned to clarity, and he knelt down: "See the Marquis of Changping."

"You know me, and it seems that you have a good reputation. Tell me, what happened to Liaodong Dusi."

Jiang Huaice sat on the stone pier and put away the token. Just outside, he noticed that the drunk man was wearing extraordinary clothes. He seemed to be unconscious and talking nonsense, but in fact, his words seemed to be mocking everyone.

Yong general.

"Master Hou, are you here for the Liaodong Dusi, or are you here for Dayong?"

Lou Qingbin raised his head, stretched out his hand to wipe the wine from his lips, and asked with a slight smile. He pretended to be drunk and chanted this poem of national subjugation on the roadside for dozens of days, and no one paid attention to him.

Liaodong Dusi couldn't get out, so everyone focused on Liaodong Dusi, but they didn't know that Pang Dong had a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If he delayed it, the clues would have been wiped out long ago. Unexpectedly, he was asked to let him go today.

Waiting for the arrival of Marquis Changping.

"Come here for Dayong, tell me."

When Jiang Huaice heard Lou Qingbin's question, he knew what was going on here. He was afraid that it was not as simple as he had found out. But from Lou Qingbin's words, he gradually realized that what Pang Dong was selling in his gourd was actually this.

medicine.

He spread the issue of counterfeit currency and set his sights on Liaodong Dusi, and then pushed all matters to Liaodong Dusi, and used the imperial court to eradicate the Xue family army, thus completely controlling Liaodong Dusi.

"How do you know so much?"

Lou Qingbin smiled bitterly when he heard Jiang Huaice's words: "My father is the city lord of Liaodong Dusi. Unfortunately, he has been 'hanged' because he refused to cooperate with Pang Dong."

And he is waiting here because of his father's will. General Xue was controlled in the General's Mansion and his father was killed. Now the person in charge of Liaodong Dusi is Pang Dong.

My father said that Pang Dong was the best at hiding. He had placed all the counterfeit coins in the General's Mansion and sent many guards to surround the entire Liaodong capital in order to give a false impression to those who came to check.

It made them think that General Xue was plotting a rebellion, but he was lucky enough to escape because he was studying abroad. If he hadn't sneaked into the city lord's mansion secretly and found the letter left by his father, he might still have been kept in the dark.

His father asked him to pretend to be drunk and mingled among the beggars. Since he was someone who came to investigate, he would definitely disguise himself and he would be able to attract the real investigators.

Pang Dong started such a big battle not to hide anything, but to attract people from the court. He had no intention of hiding at all.

"I know this. If that's the case, why not go and see it openly?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Huaice's lips. They said that when Jiang Taigong fished, those who wished would take the bait. But what if the fish Pang Dong wanted to catch didn't bite the hook?

"What does the Marquis want to do? I can help. There are still some old people in the City Lord's Mansion who can help the Marquis."

Lou Qingbin clenched his fists. He was a weak scholar with little martial arts value and no way to kill his enemies with his own hands. He could only obey his father's will and stay here to wait for those who really wanted to find out the truth.

But he also wants to take revenge with his own hands, so if Jiang Huaice needs his help, he will definitely do his best.

Jiang Huaice lowered his voice and said a few words, and Lou Qingbin showed a look of surprise. They all said that Marquis Changping was extremely resourceful. I am afraid that even Pang Dong would not have thought that they would do the opposite.

"Okay, I'll contact the people in the City Lord's Mansion right away."

He stood up. Jiang Huaice watched his back disappear with dark eyes. Then he raised his hand and a black pigeon landed on his shoulder. He whispered a few words to the pigeon and fed it the food from his waist.

After it finished eating, Jiang Huaice reached out and patted it, and in the blink of an eye the black pigeon disappeared into the sky.

After five days of study, Shen Zhiyi and Xue Ruozheng almost cried with joy. They were finally able to leave the palace. They were so happy. Xue Ruozheng hurriedly packed their luggage.

Shen Zhiyi looked at the letter that was pressed under her bed, and finally put it into her sleeve. Forget it, she had been busy these days and had no free time to deal with this thing. After leaving the palace, she Find a stove and burn it.

Before leaving the palace, Shen Zhiyi was taken to the East Palace by the female official next to Ruan Xiting, who said he wanted to see her for something.
