"Yan Heng, you are finally back. Is everything okay with the barbarians?"

Before Qingyun stepped into the study, the sound of someone's arrival was heard first, and Bai Yanheng, who was waiting in the room, got up and walked to the door to greet him.

"Your Majesty, sir, please be well. Everything goes well over there." Bai Yanheng greeted him.

Qingyun wanted to tell him about the Fourth Prince, but when he saw that he was tired and tired, and holding back what he said, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "You have been traveling for so long and you are tired. Go back and have a good rest."

, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

No matter how urgent the Fourth Prince's matter was, she didn't have many people to use on this night. For the Fourth Prince's matter, Bai Yanheng was exhausted, and the gain outweighed the loss.

"I resign from my humble position!" Bai Yanheng was indeed tired, so he did not refuse and went back to rest.

Qingyun stayed in the study for a while, and then went back to the Yamen to do business.

………………

Qingyun Study

Bai Yanheng was here, Du Chun'an also came, Qingyun also invited Mr. Song, Mr. Shangguan and the Taoist Priest were here. For some reason, Mr. Shangguan wanted the Taoist Priest to attend this meeting. When Qingyun found out, he was silent for a minute.

,agreed.

In previous meetings, in addition to Bai Yanheng and Du Chun'an, Tian Duoliang, Black Bear, Mad Wolf, Huang Kun, Meng Yiluo, and Heiba ​​also participated.

The Fourth Prince incident suddenly occurred. Tian Duoliang, Black Bear, Meng Yiluo and the others were in the barbarians and had no way to participate. Huang Kun, Hei Ba He Qiu and the others were in the village and could not participate either. Even if they could, at this critical time when the Fourth Prince was in the city, Qingyun could not

They will be notified to come back.

Since the Taoist priest was here, it was not convenient to talk about the barbarian affairs. Qingyun glanced at Bai Yanheng. Bai Yanheng seemed to have guessed Qingyun's thoughts and had no intention of speaking.

"I called you here this time because I have a very troublesome problem. I want you all to give me an idea on what to do." Qingyun said.

Bai Yanheng had just come back and didn't know the situation in the county. Apart from urging Qingyun to study, Mr. Song didn't pay much attention to the yamen affairs on weekdays. He really didn't know what happened.

On the other hand, the Taoist priest, although he is still in the courtyard, he has a disciple who likes to go out for a walk, and he is not as mundane as the Taoist priest at all. When he changes his clothes, he can compare with the waiter in the inn who likes to gossip.

The Taoist priest is thoughtful.

Du Chun'an glanced at Bai Yanheng, then at the Taoist Priest, pondered for a while, and said, "The troublesome thing your Excellency mentioned was the distinguished guest from the Yamen yesterday?"

The fourth prince concealed his identity and secretly came to Qishan to avoid trouble. His identity cannot be exposed, otherwise it will bring disaster to Qishan.

The fourth prince can hide it, he can pretend that he doesn't know, but you can't do that.

Qingyun nodded, with a deep and dark look on his face, and glanced at everyone: "Do you know who the noble person who came yesterday is?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering who the noble person was. The county magistrate asked, they should know each other.

Seeing the face of the county magistrate, everyone felt bad in their hearts.

Qingyun did not engage in any nonsense with them, and said unhappily: "Have you heard about the major events that happened in the imperial court a few days ago?"

There was only one major event that happened in the court: several princes seized the throne.

Everyone nodded.

Bai Yanheng heard about the incident in the barbarians, which shows how influential public opinion and gossip are.

"Fifth prince, no, it should be said that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the other one is rumored to have disappeared..."

Qingyun paused, everyone nodded again, and the bad feeling deepened. How did the county magistrate get involved in those fatal things? What does the struggle for the throne have to do with them and Qishan, a remote place? Could they be meddling in it?

unless……

The people sitting here are all smart people, and everyone has a bad guess in their minds.

"Those major events in the imperial court have nothing to do with us. Needless to say..."

Qingyun wiped her face, she didn't want to say anything!

Qingyun said with a sad face, "It had nothing to do with us before, but now it does. The noble man who came to the Yamen yesterday was the fourth prince. That unlucky one didn't go anywhere, but came to Qishan."

Qingyun is filled with evil fire and cannot vent it out.

Everyone's eyes twitched and they were all frightened. After all, he was also the son of a dragon. How could he describe a person like that? In the past, when someone was called the emperor, he could not be heard even though they were thousands of miles apart.

Already.

Everyone is in the city now. If word spreads, it will be no problem to punish him for being disrespectful.

The new emperor wants to kill and behead the fourth prince. He has that right. It is not your turn to join the seventh-grade county magistrate in despising the dragon son and grandson.

Qingyun was still mumbling dissatisfiedly, "The Dayong Dynasty is such a big place. You can run south or north. If you don't want to run to the border, they have millions of soldiers. The new emperor dares to punish a loser."

To them?"

Du Chun'an had no choice but to say "be careful with your words", and Qingyun had finished venting his dissatisfaction.

"What do you think he means? What is his plan?" Qingyun looked at them and asked.

Everyone knew what the Fourth Prince was up to, and it would not be easy to make a comeback.

"Sir, do you suspect there is someone behind this?" Du Chun'an said.

Bai Yanheng was silent, not knowing what he was thinking. He was always calm and his expression remained calm, and nothing could be seen from his face.

Taoist priest Song Wenqian only listened but did not speak.

Qingyun looked at Bai Yanheng, "What do you think?"

Qingyun suspected that there was someone behind the fourth prince. The first suspect was Qian Qizhi, a border official. Apart from him, Qingyun had no interest relationship with anyone else.

"Based on my position, there is no mastermind behind this matter," Bai Yanheng slowly shook his head, "The fourth master's choice of Qishan is purely coincidental, I can understand it."

Qingyun didn't understand, and neither did Du Chun'an.

Qingyun raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that?"

Qingyun used to live a simple life, she had only been in the officialdom for a short time, and she was in a remote place like Qishan. She had never seen the real ups and downs of the officialdom, and she didn't know the twists and turns.

Under Mr. Song's education, maybe she could get a glimpse of something superficial, but there were more and deeper things that she couldn't touch, and it wasn't something that a newcomer like her could get a glimpse of.

Bai Yanheng was different. He had received elite training since childhood, had seen and experienced strife in the officialdom, and had his entire family executed or exiled.

"The situation in Qishan is chaotic. The land of three religions and nine streams is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It is the best hiding place for Fourth Master.

Whether he goes to the north or the south or to the border, it will not be good for his situation. The new emperor has ascended the throne. In the eyes of others, the Fourth Master is already a traitor and a rebel. Whoever catches him will have a huge future.

A petition to reach the peak of power.

With such a big temptation in front of you, who can guarantee that you won't be tempted? Fourth Master doesn't dare to gamble on people's hearts.

Qishan has been in chaos for many years, and bandits are rampant. There is no master here, and the bandits are huge. As long as all the bandits in Qishan are subdued, it is equivalent to forming an army, and combining it with Fourth Master’s remaining manpower..."

"He wants to rely on the bandits from Qishan to help him regain the throne?" Qingyun Jie said.
