"Come on, I can't defeat you, no more,"

After experiencing the "ravage" of the old monk's "stinky chess basket", Yang Ning had to surrender again. There was really no way to play this chess game with the old monk.

Monk Fakong looked up to the sky and laughed proudly, "Haha, if you had already admitted that your chess skills were not as good as mine, you would have had to admit it."

"It's not enough to admit it now. The old monk is smart and I admire him," Yang Ning said in an angry and funny tone.

Seeing the two people chatting and laughing in a leisurely and comfortable manner, Guan Lei on the side finally couldn't help but turned around and said angrily: "Master, Master, Yue Feng's little girl's skin was snatched away by thieves, and her life and death are still uncertain. You two It's too...too heartless for someone to even have the time to play chess here, huh,"

Seeing Guan Lei's angry look on his face, Yang Ning was quite surprised. Usually when this kid got along with Yue Feng, he always bickered and competed with each other, acting like enemies in his previous life. Unexpectedly, something happened to Yue Feng. , this kid is more anxious and concerned than anyone else.

"Guan Lei, how do you know that we are not in a hurry, but is there any use in just being anxious? We can't just rely on passion and impulse to solve the problem. We need to use our brains and think more. At the same time, we must conduct undercover investigations to find out who the enemy is. Where, with this information, we can rescue Yue Feng," Yang Ning taught Guan Lei.

Guan Lei was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Then do you have an idea?"

Yang Ning nodded and said: "It's almost done, we still have to wait for the last confirmation,"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shanlin led someone hurriedly over outside the garden, and the person following him was Xiang Zhong.

"Guan Lei, your young master has some business to attend to. It's time for us to go back," Monk Fakong suddenly stood up and said leisurely to Guan Lei.

Guan Lei was stunned, glanced at Xiang Zhong who was walking from a distance, and said to the old monk, "I don't want to, go back first, I want to stay to save 'Little Niangpi',"

Fakong blew his beard and glared, "Bah, you stinky boy, you are not obedient, right? With your current three-legged cat skills, it will be useless if you stay. Go back and practice hard with your teacher for two years."

Guan Lei glared and was about to say something else when Yang Ning spoke first: "Lei Zi, you go back with the master first. I'm here to save Yue Feng. Don't worry."

Guan Lei hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, but if you have any news, please inform me immediately."

"Yeah, I know,"

Fakong led the reluctant Guan Lei away, and walked all the way to hear the old monk still muttering: "Oh, the black boy has no conscience, and the words of this master are not as effective as that bastard..."

This "black boy" naturally refers to Guan Lei, and this "bastard boy" refers to Yang Ning.

After bringing Xiang Zhong over, Han Shanlin immediately retreated. Xiang Zhong entered the pavilion and glanced around cautiously to make sure there was no one nearby. Then he whispered to Yang Ning: "This is for the Governor, my subordinates and Mr. Xing." It has been confirmed that when the incident happened a while ago, no unusual movements were found in the British Duke Zhang Rongguo's mansion, and no strangers were found coming in or out; according to the "Ziban" report from the Dongchang Military Department, the Changping area was all under the command of General Qi. There is no military force, there are no guards, let alone Zhang Rong’s former subordinate generals, etc...,"

"That's strange. Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Rong? Who are those archers in black?" Yang Ning frowned and muttered to himself.

Xiang Zhong hurriedly added: "Changping Guards Zhang and others sent back news that they had found clues to the original whereabouts of those people...,"

"Oh, what are the details," Yang Ning perked up.

"Those people were divided into two groups. One group came from the northwest, and the other group left from the capital. There were more people coming from the northwest. After the incident, some people saw some people heading northwest to Yanqing and Huailai. Some people went southwest to Baoding Prefecture, but this time the number of people was reversed. There were fewer people going to the northwest, and there were more people going to Baoding. It was said that there was one and a half young men among the group of people going to Baoding... ,"

The more Yang Ning listened, the more excited she became. At this moment, she couldn't help but slap her thigh and said bitterly: "That's right, these are the bastards."

Xiang Zhong was also slightly excited and said: "Master Xing also found out that just a few days after the Governor and Mr. Zhang Ge left the capital to visit Tianshou Mountain to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum, many new faces came in and out of Zhang Siwei's house, the Minister of Civil Affairs. And it seems that they are all people with good kung fu, and there is a story that Deng Qiancheng, the chief martial artist of the Zhang family, accompanied this group of people to have dinner and drink wine at Tianxiang Tower, and then the group secretly disappeared from the capital. "

Yang Ning became more aware after hearing this. She sneered and sighed: "First there is Zhang Wenkang, then there is Zhang Siwei, and then there is Li Ruhua. Speaking of which, I really have a conflict with this family's numerology. No wonder Zhang Siwei is going to kill me, but..., this old boy is a little too courageous, and the person he hired to do things is a little too careless,"

Now Yang Ning has basically understood that there were two groups of people who attacked him. One group of people should be from Deng Qiancheng's sect, which is the group of men in black who attacked Zhang Changgen and others at close range; There is no doubt that a group of people came from the army, but they were not sent by Zhang Rong. They should be someone else. This group of people came from the northwest and went to the northwest. But they don’t know where they came from. It seems that they can only wait for Zhang Weinian. Waiting for more news to come.

Since returning to the capital a few days ago, Yang Ning has immediately started tracking and investigating the group of thieves. Even though he has been staying in the mansion for the past few days and has not gone anywhere, the secret operations have already been directed.

Xiao Lezi, Zhang Changgen and others in his family were all injured and could not be listened to. Yang Ning could only rely on the forces in Dongchang, but it could be said that Yang Ning did not fully control most of the forces in Dongchang, or that there were no trustworthy people. There are too few, and only Zhang Weinian, Ding Sheng, and Ma Wu have just been transferred to be good guards. Even if they are the commander of Xing Tie Feng, although they can be relied on to do some things, in the final analysis, he is Li Li first. People who belong to the Queen Mother will not be truly loyal to her. Although based on the relationship between Yang Ning and Queen Mother Li, it does not make much difference to whom Xing Tiefeng is loyal to, but Yang Ning is determined to avenge this arrow on her own. , and if Xing Tiefeng is asked to do anything, he may not be able to hide it from Queen Mother Li, which Yang Ning is unwilling to do.

But there is no way around the current situation. Yang Ning has also thought that it is still difficult to take revenge with only his own strength. Not to mention anything else, except for Zhang Siwei, this person is no matter how high-ranking the imperial court. As a member of the Communist Party of China, even if he is a person who has been in the cabinet and worshiped the Prime Minister, if there is no major handle or shocking and irrefutable evidence, it is impossible for him to bring him down. From this point of view, he has to rely on the power of Empress Dowager Li. And she also has reason to believe that if she learns that Zhang Siwei is the mastermind behind the assassination of her, Queen Mother Li will definitely not let him off lightly.

Since that day when he went to the palace to see Empress Dowager Li, Yang Ning has not been to the palace again in the past few days, and Empress Dowager Li has not summoned him. However, according to Yang Ning's hearing from Mou Tai, Empress Dowager Li has been busy these days. Paying attention to the case of tracking down the culprit who assassinated Yang Ning, almost three times a day, forcing Wang Zhigao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, and Huang Jin, the governor of Beizhen Fusi, were very worried. They sent people to investigate and investigate the case like a burning fire all day long, but nothing happened. clue.

It stands to reason that Queen Mother Li did not summon her to the palace for several days in a row, which was really unreasonable. Yang Ning even wondered in the past few days whether Queen Mother Li had to wait until she caught the assassin before summoning her again. This was true. Some of them are like children who secretly finish their housework and are waiting to take credit from their parents.

"Zhongzi, please go back first. If there is any further news, please notify me immediately. By the way, remember Fei Ge sent a message to Zhang Weinian and the others to be careful when watching the group of people going to Baoding. Don't act rashly if anything happens." "Those people are quite skilled, I don't want them to suffer any more casualties," Yang Ning warned Xiang Zhongdao.

Xiang Zhong agreed, turned and left.

Looking at Xiang Zhong's back, Yang Ning was stunned. Through this incident, he once again showed that he must complete the transformation and control of Dongchang as soon as possible. He could not control such a huge force in his hands. The use of it is really depressing.

Thinking of reforming the East Factory, Yang Ning once again thought of Hua Wanchun, and further thought of Jinyiwei commander Liu Shouyou. At the beginning, this commander promised to help him select a group of people with flexible minds, good skills, poor backgrounds and clean backgrounds. The young Jin Yiwei Xiaowei and Lishi have entered the East Factory, and now it is time to ask him to cooperate with their "work".

Just as he was thinking about it, Leng Buding heard a voice not far away, "Brother Ning, do you have some clues about the assassin?"

Yang Ning was startled, but immediately relaxed and sighed without looking back: "I'm talking about fun, can you make some noise when you walk? You're so mysterious, it scares me."

With that said, Yang Ning slowly turned the wheelchair around, and Xiao Lezi's thin figure appeared in front of him.

"When the old monk was here, didn't I tell you not to show up to meet him? Why did you come out anyway?" Yang Ning asked. At first, he tried every means to get the ice jade chess set from Fakong, but later he agreed The old monk himself would never practice the most evil "Broken Jade Manual". Of course, he didn't want the old monk to know that although he didn't practice it, he gave it to the people around him. Therefore, before the old monk came today, Yang Ning specifically told Xiao Lezi not to appear in front of the old monk, lest the old monk with unfathomable skills would find out.

Xiao Lezi shook his head slowly and said: "Brother Ning, you don't understand. Even if I didn't show up, I believe he has already discovered my existence."

Yang Ning said in surprise: "No way, it's so magical,"

Xiao Lezi did not answer directly, but was silent for a while before saying: "He is indeed very strong...,"

In an instant, a fiery light burst out from Xiao Lezi's eyes, and Yang Ning couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart. At that moment, he noticed admiration, admiration, admiration, and even a little fear in Xiao Lezi's eyes. But more What is more important is the fanatical persistence, unyieldingness, and fighting spirit.
