In the early morning, a thousand-stone passenger ship slowly stopped at the dock east of Yuhang County. Yuhang County is located northwest of Lin'an, more than 40 miles away from the city, and is also under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Prefecture.
Due to the spillover from Lin'an's prosperity, the number of residential properties in Yuhang County has also increased rapidly in recent years. In the northern part of the county, the most expensive area, the land price per mu is thousands of dollars. Of course, it cannot be compared with Lin'an, where houses cost more than ten thousand dollars per mu.
All.
A group of people walked out of the passenger ship. The leading woman was Yue Fei's wife Li Wa. Walking in front was the second son Yue Lei, followed by several younger siblings, Yue Lin, Yue Zhen, Yue Ting, and two daughters.
The eldest daughter is Yue Anniang, and the second daughter is Yue Yinping.
Dozens of strong men disembarked from the boat behind, it was Zhang Bao and his thirty men, and then there were Wei Yanzong and his dozens of men from the boat in front.
They originally came from the Yangtze River on a five-thousand-stone passenger ship, but switched to several thousand-stone passenger ships in Dangtu County. They had a smooth journey and arrived in Yuhang County in just over half a month.
There were oxcarts at the dock. They hired several oxcarts and drove towards the county town. Not long after, they came to a large house. This was a large house temporarily rented by the intelligence station for them. It covered ten acres and the conditions were very good. Several
The child jumped up and down with joy, and Li Wa, who had always been depressed, also had a smile on her face.
She said to Wei Yanzong: "Thank you, General Wei, for taking care of me all the way. I wonder if there is any news about my master?"
Wei Yanzong bowed and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry! Our people are keeping an eye on it. If something happens, we will know it in Dangtu County. Generally, the court will not consider how to deal with Yuedu until the matter in Xiangyang is completely resolved."
The system will not be so fast."
"Is General Wei going to Lin'an today?" Li Wa asked again.
Yue Lei came over and said with a smile: "Mom, I went to Lin'an with Brother Wei today to hand over the gold medal, so that those people won't have to keep an eye on this matter and make a fuss about it."
"You kid, can't you go a few days later? Mom even saw your wanted order in Dangtu County. You can bring the gold medal to Brother Zhang."
Zhang Bao nodded and said with a smile: "That's what I mean. The governor has not come out yet, and the young master has been arrested again. He is causing trouble to others. Why don't I come and run away? I see that Zhang Bao on the wanted poster looks like Zhang Fei."
, it makes no sense at all!”
Everyone laughed, and Wei Yanzong said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter. This kind of wanted order will only be popular for a few days. Unless someone informs someone, there will be no interrogation when entering or leaving the city. Maybe we can also arrange to let Mr. Yue go."
Meet his father."
This suggestion moved Li Wa, and she asked: "It would be best to see his father, but is it safe?"
"Madam, don't worry! If we can't do this little thing, we shouldn't do anything in Lin'an."
Li Wa thought for a while and then said to Zhang Bao: "You must protect Erlang's safety at all times!"
"Madam, please rest assured that you will do your humble job well and there won't be any mistakes."
Li Wa immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Yue Lei, who then took a boat to Lin'an with Zhang Bao, Wei Yanzong and several of their men.
At noon, Wang Mu hurried to Liuweiju Teahouse. Liuweiju Teahouse is currently the headquarters of Lin'an Intelligence Station. The shopkeeper is Dong An, the general manager of the intelligence station. Wang Mu went to an elegant room in the backyard of the teahouse, opened the door, and sat in the room.
Three people.
One is the special envoy Hu Yun, the other is the intelligence chief Dong An, and the deputy chief Wei Yanzong.
"When did Xiao Wei come back?" Wang Mu walked into the room and asked with a smile.
"I arrived in Yuhang early this morning and came from Yuhang again. I just arrived."
Hu Yun waved his hand and said: "Brother Shaofu, please sit down!"
The four of them represent the highest interests of the Western Army in Lin'an and rarely discuss matters together. If they are sitting together today, there must be something big going on.
"His Royal Highness King Yong has assigned us a task!"
Hu Yun glanced at the crowd and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong asked us to put pressure on the imperial court to release Yue Dutong."
Wang Mu knew that this must be the reason, so he asked: "Didn't it mean that the imperial court was only temporarily placing Yue Dutong under house arrest, and that after seizing military power, he would be demoted to the local government?
Hu Yun shook his head and said: "It was like this before, but the situation has changed. To put it simply, the Queen Mother intervened. In the past few days, Zhu Shengfei suddenly proposed that the collusion between Yue Fei and the rebels should be strictly investigated. He believed that the situation on Jinghu South Road was out of control, and Yue Fei's dissatisfaction
As someone with a huge relationship, he produced a piece of evidence, which was Yue Fei's general Dong Xian's report, saying that the Western Army used commerce as a cover to send a large amount of military supplies to Jiangling via camels via Xiangyang. Yue Fei never stopped it and even acquiesced in the Western Army's supplies.
At one point, Zhu Shengfei believed that Yue Fei did not tell the truth when reporting his work, so he requested that a three-chamber trial be set up."
Wang Mu frowned and said, "Mr. Dong seems to have been a high-ranking official in Qi in the past?"
Hu Yun explained: "Dong Xian was a civil servant at first and knew the affairs of Shangzhou. Later he surrendered to the puppet Qi and became a high-ranking official. However, because he defected to Wan Yanchang, even the puppet Qi would not tolerate him. He had no choice but to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei treated him very much.
Yes, he was appointed commander and in charge of the entire army. Now that something happened to Yue Fei, he wanted to defect to the Wei Party, so he took Yue Fei as his pledge of surrender."
Dong An smiled and said: "I actually know this very well. Before I came to An'an, I led a camel team through Xiangyang. Ten thousand camels were all goods. The real army supplies cannot go through Xiangyang, but must come from Bashu.
The reason for transporting it to Jiangling is very simple. The Jiangling army is part of the garrison on Sichuan Road. It is impossible for Jingzhao to send military supplies directly to Jiangling by bypassing Sichuan Road and directly transiting through Xiangyang, so it can only be goods."
Hu Yun sighed and said: "The problem is that we know it's impossible, but the court doesn't know. Now there are records that a large number of camels did cross the border, but it's not clear whether they were goods or military supplies."
At this time, Wang Mu said slowly: "Empress Dowager Wei will not attack Yue Fei for no reason. There is probably someone from the Jin Kingdom instigating her behind the scenes, especially Wanyan Wushu. If Yue Fei is in trouble, he will probably not let go of this opportunity."
"It's useless to say all this. The key is how to take the blame for him?"
Hu Yun glanced at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"
Wang Mu lowered his head and thought for a moment and said: "It is impossible to get rid of the crime. We must participate and use our power to suppress the imperial court."
"That's what His Highness King Yong has in mind."
Hu Yun handed a letter to Wang Mu, "This is the letter from King Yong brought back by Wei Yanzong from Xiangyang. You will know after reading it."
Wang Mu hurriedly read the letter and nodded, "I think this is a good idea. Without further delay, I will go back and make arrangements now. The Beijing News will publish it tomorrow."
Wei Yanzong, who had remained silent, said: "I think a two-pronged approach is needed. It is best for Yue Dutong to write a letter to defend himself, so that the emperor can understand that there is nothing wrong with Yue Dutong, and then the pressure from the "Beijing News" will have better results.
.”
Hu Yun nodded, "I agree, you can make arrangements!"
As night fell, an important guest came to the residence of Prime Minister Xu Xiantu, who was King Yong's special envoy Hu Yun.
At this critical moment, Hu Yun's arrival made Xu Xiantu somewhat doubtful, but he still received Hu Yun politely in the guest hall.
The two exchanged a few words, and Hu Yun smiled and said: "Last month, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Propaganda Department submitted a request to borrow a piece of land to build a cargo ship terminal in Liyang County. There has been no news. I heard that the application report is pending in the Privy Council.
I wonder if Mr. Xu has read this application report?"
Xu Xiantu was startled. He didn't expect that the other party actually came here for this matter. He said calmly: "If you are docking at a dock, you don't need approval. There are so many docks along the Yangtze River. You can dock at will without any hindrance! Just no.
I understand why it is necessary to build a separate dock. There are many issues involved here. The key is whether to garrison troops. These are very vague. I am afraid that it is unlikely to pass. I heard that Qin Xianggong has clearly expressed his opposition."
Hu Yun nodded, "I'm just asking. I haven't seen the report, so I don't understand the situation."
Xu Xiantu frowned and couldn't help but said: "If you just want to ask, you can just go to the Privy Council during the day to ask. Is Special Envoy Xu here just for this trivial matter?"
"of course not!"
Hu Yun took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Xu Xiantu, "This is a personal letter written by His Highness King Yong to Xianggong Xu. I am actually here today just to deliver the letter."
Hu Yun said goodbye and left. Xu Xiantu read Chen Qing's autographed letter over and over again and remained silent for a long time.
His third son, Xu Shouchin, saluted and said, "Father, I have sent Ambassador Hu away."
"Did he say anything?"
"He said that only when there is a family, there is a country, and when there is a country, there is a world. A hundred years later, our home will still be there, but we don't know whose country it will be and whose world it will be?"
Xu Xiantu looked at his son's young and energetic face and thought of his grandson. It was time for him to think about his future generations.
Xu Xiantu took out the silver medal from his arms and handed it to his son, "Go to Dali Temple immediately and find Li Ruopu, the chief minister of Dali Temple. He is my person and he should be on duty tonight. Just say this to him."
