Wang Pang returned to Shaozhou City and told Hou Shuxian and Chen Kang what he had heard from Nan Jifeng. Chen Kang asked, "What will happen to King Ying when he returns and presents the book?"

Now Chen Kang is most concerned about the issue of donating books. He originally planned to find an opportunity when King Ying was around to let King Ying find out and get rid of the matter. Wang Pang said: "I have arrangements for this matter. You two return to He went to the capital and brought the book to King Ying, telling him that the book was found in the Prince's Mansion in East Han Dynasty."

"What do you mean, Master?" Chen Kang didn't seem to understand yet: "Shall we return to the capital tomorrow?"

"It's not us, it's you! There are people guarding the city gate now. I guess I have to go to the county prince's house. This book will be handed over to the prime minister through Prince Ying." He looked at Hou Shuxian. Mr. Hou remained silent and just smiled slightly. nod.

After explaining this matter, Wang Pang went to Su Xiao and explained the reason for the heavy defense of the city outside, and asked her to leave as soon as possible. Seeing Su Xiao frowning and saying nothing, Wang Pang said: "You can leave the city smoothly after you recover?" " Su Xiao saw that although Wang Pang knew his identity, he still respected him very much. He admired Wang Pang more and more as a person and admired him more. Wang Pang wrote another letter to Wang Shao, explaining that he wanted the people of Shu to sell the tea. When he went to Tubo, he asked Wang Shao for help. After Su Xiao returned to Shu, he asked local tea farmers to organize and select people who could handle the matter. He told Su Xiao that by opening up this road, not only could tea be traded for horses, but also horses could be traded. Selling tea to the capital will benefit a lot.[

After that, the group of people walked out of the city the next day, and Wang Pang was indeed detained at the city gate. Hou Shuxian and others saw Wang Pang winking at them and understood that he had a plan, so they followed the people out. After leaving the city, Chen Kang said goodbye to Su Xiao who was heading west. As he walked, Chen Kang asked Hou Shuxian: "Sir, you said that the young master did this even though he knew he couldn't get out of the city? Why don't I understand what the young master means?"

Hou Shuxian smiled slightly: "There is a mystery in this matter, which can excuse the prime minister's omissions at the time and save the young master from the suspicion of deceiving the emperor. Didn't he also say it? Nan Jifeng was invited by the prince and had the intention to unite the soldiers. , if this thing is done, the world will be uneasy. The scrolls that the young master is looking for are very important, involving fire attacks, strategies to attack and defend the city, and blaming the prince is enough to attract the court's attention to the prince's whereabouts; and it can also attract the attention of the court. King Ying is outstanding! This is the key to the master’s plan.”

Chen Kang understood and nodded: "It is indeed Gao, but will the young master be in danger if he is taken to the prince's palace?"

In the prince's palace, there was someone who arrived before Wang Pang. Yesterday, Wang Pang himself returned to Shaozhou City, and Qin Minxue had a premonition that things were not going well. Wang Pang would not leave King Ying himself in Shaozhou, a place he was unfamiliar with. I always regretted not bringing more followers out. I heard that Wang Pang wanted to leave early in the morning. Fortunately, there were guards guarding the city gate of Shaozhou. Only Wang Pang was there to capture the thief and the king. There was no need to worry about the whereabouts of King Ying. Qin Minxue hurried to the prince's mansion. This time he must see the prince.

In the name of the county king, Shi Zhaoxi brought Qin Minxue to the county king: "Your Majesty, Wang Bian wanted to go out of the city and was detained at the gate of Shaozhou City. He abducted King Ying out of the capital. Please call him for interrogation quickly. Don't do it. Let him leave!"

Qin Minxue put the charge of kidnapping King Ying on Wang Pang's head, but the king frowned: "Qin Minxue, are you saying that King Ying is in Shaozhou?"

It seems that the king of the county is not aware of this matter at all. Qin Minxue explained: "It is exactly that I, following the secret order of the Holy Master, went out of the capital to search for the whereabouts of King Ying and found this place. It turned out that King Ying and Wang Pang had already lived in Shaozhou. But I don’t know why King Ying and Wang Pang left the city the day before yesterday and haven’t returned yet!”

"Wang Pang?" Shi Zhaoxi said softly with a hint of doubt.

Qin Minxue hurriedly said: "Yes, it's Wang Pang. When the late emperor was here, he was an important minister in front of the late emperor and held a third-rank official position. Now that he has resigned, he unexpectedly took Prince Ying out of the capital. If this happens, Ying If something unexpected happens to the king, how can I go back and renew the decree with the emperor?"

The prince slapped the table and said angrily: "Bold Qin Minxue, Prince Ying is my nephew, how dare you curse him like this? Besides, when Prince Ying comes to Shaozhou, he will definitely come to the Prince's Mansion."

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Shi Zhaoxi whispered from the side: "I think Secretary Qin is also a person who handles affairs. He also showed me the Holy Mandate that day, but he didn't say who he was looking for. If he said I will definitely tell the king, and there will be no misunderstanding." Shi Zhaoxi took over the responsibility and said good things for Qin Minxue. Qin Minxue looked at Shi Zhaoxi gratefully. How could Shi Zhaoxi not know Wang Pang? What? When Wang Pang beat Ren Shouzhong in the prison, it wasn't that he wasn't there, he just didn't dare to stop him. At that time, who dared to stop Wang Pang? Some of the eunuchs in the palace didn't know Wang Pang. .Why did he come to Shaozhou?

The king of the county, Zhao Zongmian, said "Oh" in a pretentious manner: "It seems there is a misunderstanding. Manager Shi, please bring Wang Bian to see you quickly. Qin Minxue, please sit down and talk."

Seeing that the prince was no longer serious, Qin Minxue gave up his seat to him, and felt a little more at ease. After a while, Wang Pian swaggered into the palace of the prince's palace. This place was simply a condensed version of the small palace. The imperial palace has everything here. Let’s just say that the king’s hall is magnificent. To describe it as a hall is not an exaggeration at all. This shows that the king is not just for simple pomp and comparison, and Wang Pang has more confidence in his heart.

Seeing Wang Pang coming, Zhao Zongmian's face darkened, but Wang Pang smiled and bowed his hands: "Beside the king, see the Prince of Handong!" When he spoke, he noticed Shi Zhaoxi standing beside the Prince. Next to him, there is a person sitting in the hall. Why does this person look so familiar? He is young and has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Isn't this the boy who sent an order not to return to Beijing when he was in Baozhou? Why is this guy here?

Zhao Zongmian pointed at Wang Pang and asked Qin Minxue: "Please identify him, is he the person you mentioned?"

Qin Minxue jumped up: "The prince, that's him." He walked up to Wang Pang and looked at Wang Pang, "Wang Pang, where did you hide Prince Ying?"

"Prince Ying? What Prince Ying? Isn't Prince Ying in the capital?" The king looked at Qin Minxue with a guilty look on his face, and then turned to look at the prince, who was looking at him without saying a word.

"You! You clearly kidnapped Prince Ying out of the capital and arrived here, but you still dare not to admit it. What did you do to Prince Ying?" Qin Minxue was really anxious, and he hated Wang Pang from the bottom of his heart. He turned to Zhao Zongmian and said: "County King, if you interrogate him quickly, you will know the whereabouts of King Ying."

The king of the county, Zhao Zongmian, said angrily: "Bold, Qin Minxue, I will not judge anyone, you don't need to say anything!" [

There is a saying that people are more irritating than others. Wang Pang was brought up and stood with Qin Minxue: one had an upright face and clear eyebrows, and the other had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks that looked cunning. Qin Minxue had come to persuade the prince not to be seen, but when Wang Pang came up he Luo Luo is generous. Besides, how could the county king not know Wang Pang? Even if he has never met, Wang Pang is very famous. He went to the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms to attack the Japanese slaves. If this man can work for him, then But talents are rare. Everyone loves talents, not to mention that the prince is recruiting talents.

On the contrary, Wang Pang laughed, knowing that the prince wanted to dominate, and he was somewhat disgusted with the imperial court sending Qin Minxue. He hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Prince, please don't be angry. He has some old grudges with me, and I'm really embarrassed now. He actually bothered the prince. If you don't mind, could you let me ask him a few questions?" These words were modest and appropriate, and the prince nodded comfortably.

"Qin Minxue, is your horse's butt healed?" What did you ask? The prince, Shi Zhaoxi and Qin Minxue were all stunned. The king smiled and said: "Back then, I slapped your horse's butt with a pestle. Then The horse ran so fast! I remembered later that Mr. Qin seemed to be still on the horse! Haha." His words made the prince happy, especially Qin Minxue's expression of shame and anger: "Your Majesty, you Don't be complacent, now is not the time when the late king is here."

Zhao Zongmian frowned slightly. It seemed that the relationship between Wang Pang and the current Emperor Yingzong was not so good. Wang Pang was not in a hurry. He still smiled and asked: "You said I took Prince Ying out of the city? Well, I returned to Linchuan years ago, and Cai Tingke, the transshipment envoy, can testify for me, when did King Ying leave the city?" Wang Pang asked this question in a leisurely manner, and Zhong Tingtai told him that during the Chinese New Year I also met his uncle Zhao Zongmian.

"Okay, Wang Pang, you have a strong mouth and strong teeth. My people saw you and Prince Ying entering Shaozhou City with my own eyes."

"Did I bring it?" Wang Pang said to the county prince with an innocent look on his face: "The young man I brought here is the person I like. Prince, at my age, isn't the female companion too conspicuous to me? I Let her change into men's clothes. Moreover, this person is the sister of Su Shi and Su Zizhan. Oh, Prince, you have to keep this matter a secret for me. If Su Zizhan finds out, he won't skin me."

When the prince heard this, he laughed out loud because he didn't realize that this boy was quite a womanizer. Although it was funny, he still had doubts. He also heard that King Ying was not in the capital, and Qin Minxue might not have found it since he found it. Without any basis, he pointed to Wang Pang and asked: "Wang Pang, there is no storm. You said you didn't bring Prince Ying with you. Why did Qin Minxue come to find you here?"

Wang Pang frowned and sighed: "Your Majesty, when I was on a mission to the Liao Kingdom, he followed the decree of Emperor Yingzong and sent an edict not to allow me to return to the capital. Instead, he went directly to Korea as an ambassador. Alas, I didn't even see my late wife for the last time. "Arrived." Wang Bian said, his eyes could not help but turn red. This was a true expression of his true feelings. Thinking of this, he really hated Yingzong a little. He gritted his teeth and said: "My contribution to the Song Dynasty is not enough for me to go home and see my wife." Son? I resigned after returning to Beijing in anger. I heard that the prince was managing Guangnan well, so I wanted to come and have a look. Who knew, I heard that he also came to visit Guangnan on an order, so I I just wanted to leave Shaozhou. Prince, I don’t know what he came to do, but in the name of following me and Prince Ying, you know that you have wronged me. I think you should leave me alone and let him take me away. When I return to the capital, I will let him handle it."

Wang Pang's words moved the county king Zhao Zongmian. Moreover, Qin Minxue was a close confidant of Yingzong. How could he be kept in Shaozhou? "Manager Shi, send someone to send Qin Minxue out of the city! Let him continue to find King Ying!" To be polite, to be precise, Qin Minxue was kicked out of Shaozhou City by the prince.
