Pei Xiangjun said goodbye first and left. Not long after, the soldiers brought the Wang family and his son into the tent. The father and son saluted before him. Chen Qing smiled and said, "Isn't Wang Zhixian returning to Wenshui County? Why did he return to Taiyuan?"
As soon as Chen Qing said this, Wang Jian was immediately sure that Shopkeeper Zou must be an official of the Song Army. Chen Qing learned about his situation from his mouth. He quickly bowed and said: "Father asked me to come back to discuss important matters. I will go there early tomorrow morning."
Will return to Wenshui County."
Wang Jian actually guessed wrong. Chen Qing knew that his return to Wenshui County had nothing to do with Zou Hong, but that he sent dozens of spies to learn about the situation of local officials in various counties.
Wang Lianqing stepped forward and put the wooden box on the table, and sighed: "The Zhang family is my mother's natal family, Zhang Yang is my cousin, and Zhang Ming was once my son-in-law. We have a very close relationship, but when I think of what the Zhang family has done over the years,
I was ashamed of having such a relative, and I didn't know what to do. It wasn't until Quanzi repeatedly persuaded me to put justice first that I finally decided to kill my relatives out of justice and give this box to the prince."
"What's in here?" Chen Qing asked curiously.
"This contains all the evidence that Zhang Yang and his son have colluded with the Jin State and exploited the people over the past ten years, including agreements, decrees, suggestions, etc. It is signed by the Jin State and Zhang Yang."
Chen Qing was overjoyed. He needed this thing. Unexpectedly, he arrived at just the right time. Wang Lianqing was really thoughtful! He actually collected all the evidence.
Since Wang Lianqing had already done it, he simply gave up and said: "As early as the day when the Song army captured Fenzhou, Zhang Yang sent someone to Lin'an to deliver the message. He has a backing in the court."
"Who is Zhang Yang's backstage in the court?" Chen Qing asked.
"He refused to say, but I can guess it. If I guessed correctly, it should be Qin Hui."
Chen Qing was startled, "Zhang Yang and Qin Hui are familiar with each other?"
Wang Lianqing nodded, "That was in the second year of Jianyan. Wan Yanchang stayed in Taiyuan Mansion for more than half a year. Qin Hui was Wan Yanchang's staff at the time and was also involved in Taiyuan's government affairs. He had a very close relationship with Zhang Yang.
The friendship must have been forged at that time. They used to brag about Tong Guan, who was the Zhang family's backstage person, but now they keep it secret, which is completely opposite to their previous attitude, which shows that this relationship is a bit shameful."
"I understand. Thank you Wang Yuanwai for your righteousness in extinguishing your relatives, and thank you Wang Yuanwai for telling him in time."
"Then don't bother the king. If the king needs me for anything, just ask. I will be happy to help the king!"
Chen Qing felt Wang Lianqing's sincerity. He personally sent the Wang family and his son out of the camp and watched them drive away in a carriage. Then he went back to his account to study the various evidence materials Wang Lianqing gave him.
In the carriage, Wang Lianqing's back was covered in cold sweat. He was also deeply grateful that Chen Qing actually escorted him out of the military camp in person, which meant that he had made the right bet.
"Father, is Chen Qing really going to attack the Zhang family?"
Wang Lianqing nodded, "If he had been a benevolent Lord, he would not have survived to this day. He is just as ruthless, otherwise he would not have been called a human devil in the first place."
"The child feels that he values his father very much."
Wang Lianqing said with some pride: "This is the bet at the critical moment. Zhang Yang bet on the court, and I bet on Sichuan and Shaanxi. How could Chen Qing not know that if he wants to gain a foothold on Hedong Road, he needs to rely on Pei in the south."
family, and in the central part, he needs to rely on the Wang family. It is very likely that this time will be another rise of our Wang family, Dalang, we must seize this opportunity."
Wang Jian smiled slightly and said: "If my father really wants to bet on Chen Qing, I would like to persuade him to change his name a little and remove the word "Qing"."
"You mean to avoid taboos, that's not the case!"
"Father, this is actually an attitude, a very important attitude. It expresses our Wang family's attitude towards betting on the future. Chen Qing will understand."
Wang Lianqing thought for a while and smiled: "When I was born, your great-grandfather named me Wang Lianhe because your great-grandfather was called Wang He. Later, your grandfather thought that he and misfortune had the same pronunciation, so he changed his name to Wang Lianqing when he was fourteen. If it is taboo, I still
You can change it back again.”
The largest brothel in Taiyuan City is called Xiancai Building, which is also the property of the Zhang family. During the first watch, when the brothel's business is at its best, the brothel is full of warblers and laughter.
At this time, on a small building next to the back door, there were several men in black prostrate, and there were also two men in black opposite.
According to Ge Wu's explanation, Zhang Tie liked two prostitutes in Xiancailou very much, one was named Zhou Qiniang and the other was Sun Shiniang. Both of them were in their thirties and were out of season, but Zhang Tie liked them very much.
The two women basically didn't accept guests, just waiting for Zhang Tie's favor.
Everyone knows about Zhang Tie's special taste, which is related to his mother who was beaten to death.
It was this important information given by Ge Wu that made Zou Hong focus on Xiancai Tower.
At this time, a carriage came quickly, followed by a knight in black with a silver belt on both sides. The knight in black with a silver belt was the silver belt warrior of the Zhang family. Everyone in Taiyuan City
Know.
The carriage stopped in front of the back door, and a warrior knocked on the door. After a while, the back door opened. The warrior showed a sign and said a few words, and the gatekeeper immediately ran in.
Soon, the madam of the brothel came out with two gorgeous women. The two women got on the carriage. The madam waved her handkerchief and said, "Come back soon!"
As the carriage started to drive away, the madam muttered again, "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit, even if it dies!"
The carriage was speeding along the empty and quiet street. The two silver-banded warriors were very vigilant and kept looking around behind them. However, they never dreamed that there was a thin black figure clinging to the bottom of the carriage, clinging to the bottom of the carriage like a spider.
The carriage made twists and turns in the streets, and finally stopped in front of the gate of a mansion. Someone opened the courtyard door, and two young men led the two women in the carriage in with lanterns.
"Is anyone following you?"
"Definitely not. We are very careful. Any disturbance will not be hidden from our eyes."
The steward lowered his head and scanned the bottom of the carriage again. There was nothing underneath.
"Old Qian, you don't believe us so much?"
"Hmph! You actually dare to go out wearing a silver belt uniform, why don't you get out of here!"
The two warriors in black clothes and silver belts did not dare to say a word and quickly entered the gate. The gate slammed shut, and the carriage went around to the side door and entered the mansion.
Dozens of steps away, a thin figure flashed out from the corner, made a mark on the wall, and then slipped away to the street.
Not long after, more than two dozen elite Song army scouts in black came to the door of the house. Short and fat Zou Hong also came. He looked at the house, nodded and said: "This is also the Zhang family's house."
His house should be here."
"Manager Zou, what should we do next?"
Zou Hong took out a command arrow and handed it to two soldiers and said: "You go to the military camp. There are a thousand soldiers gathered there. You can use this command arrow to mobilize them. In addition, three hundred scouts will also come."
The two soldiers ran away, and Zou Hong said again: "Go and monitor the surrounding areas. Don't let them escape."
The house was very close to the military camp. A quarter of an hour later, a thousand soldiers in armor came in force and quickly surrounded the house. Tang Qian personally led 300 elite scouts.
Zou Hong quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Join the Tang Dynasty!"
Tang Qian nodded and said: "The prince said that Zhang Tie's men are extremely vicious and you will suffer casualties. Let me assist you. Twenty-five of you will be responsible for arresting Zhang Tie, and we will deal with the rest of his men."
Tang Qian waved his hand, and the two soldiers climbed over the wall and entered. After a moment, the small door opened. Three hundred elite scouts holding crossbows and shields rushed in. Twenty-five Zou Hong's men also rushed in. Zou Hong did not
To learn martial arts, you can only wait outside.
Not long after, screams and calls for help came from the house, and it became quiet for a moment. Not long after, several warriors rushed out carrying a naked man. The man was tall, his hands were tied behind his back, his mouth was gagged, and his eyes were covered with black cloth.
Despite the obstruction, Zou Hong still recognized it at a glance, it was Zhang Tie.
He said with great joy: "Take him away and take him to the military camp!"
Zhang Tie was pushed into the carriage. At this time, Tang Qian also came out with his men and said coldly: "Kill them all, leaving no one behind. We will go to the next stop immediately."
Zou Hong was stunned for a moment, "General Tang still has a mission?"
Tang Qian nodded, "I just received the warrant from the county king. As long as Zhang Tie is captured tonight, then all Zhang's father and son, brothers, nephews and nephews will be arrested immediately!"
Zou Hong opened his mouth in shock. He really didn't expect the county king to be so decisive and capture Zhang Tie and then the whole family.
It's right to think about it. If Zhang Tie is arrested, the Zhang family will definitely get the news after dawn and they will escape.
