Xiao Yuanche took a hasty nap, then washed himself up under the waiters and had breakfast.
The army was tough. Although Xiao Yuanche was the commander, he was just like the soldiers. His breakfast was just a bowl of white porridge and two plates of pickles.
The only difference is that there is an extra cup of roasted pork.
After breakfast, Xiao Yuanche dismissed the servants and told them not to enter the room without his call.
He was sitting alone on the bench behind the desk, thinking about something quietly.
First, he thought about how he should fight against Shen Jizhou's Bohai Navy today. The general trend was with him, but now Shen Jizhou was at the end of his strength, and the war was only about to end.
But Xiao Yuanche understood that the more it was at the last moment, the more he must not take it lightly. Once he underestimated the enemy, Shen Jizhou's background was still there, and a backhand blow could be fatal.
In addition, Su Ling has promised that today he can surrender Zhang Buyi and Zang Xuanba to the future, but I don't know how he will act.
If Zhang Zanger surrenders in the future, how should you arrange for them?
Xiao Yuanche highly recognized the abilities of Second General Zhang Zang.
However, if they are promoted too high, what will their subordinates think?
If the resettlement is not in place, firstly, it will only cause future troubles, and secondly, whether those who are willing to surrender will be wavered.
Checks and balances, checks and balances...
Xiao Yuanche has been playing with something his whole life, but now he still can't get around it.
Thinking of Lidya Su, he couldn't help but doubt in his heart.
Yesterday's death row fire broke out and Shen Zhengnan was burned to death. Did he really have nothing to do with it?
If it's not related, it's too much of a coincidence. If it's related, it's not like he's pretending to be drunk.
There are also the testimonies of Xu Youzhi and Xiao Cangshu.
Xiao Yuanche is thinking
One after another, suddenly a guard came to the door and reported: "Reporting to the lord, Lord Shadow Si Boning is asking for an audience..."
Bonin? Didn’t I allow him to come and go at any time without notifying him? Why is it so abnormal this time?
Xiao Yuanche sensitively realized that there must be a profound meaning in this, so he just sat back and said, "Let him come in..."
A moment later, Boning, with a sinister look on his face, slowly walked in, cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuanche and said, "Subordinate, please see my lord!"
Xiao Yuanche glanced at him and said calmly: "Bo Ning, didn't I say that you don't need to report your coming, just see me directly... Is it the interrogation of Chen Yang, the head of the death row, and the guards? There are results..."
Boning was silent at first, then suddenly knelt down straight towards Xiao Yuanzhe, lowered his head, and still did not reply.
Xiao Yuanche's heart moved and he said calmly: "Bo Ning... what do you mean?"
Bonin said in a low voice: "My subordinate is guilty and I came here to plead guilty to my lord!"
Xiao Yuanche didn't seem surprised. He glanced at him and said calmly: "Then tell me what crime you are guilty of!"
"Subordinate..." Bonin paused, then kowtowed: "This subordinate is guilty of death! His crime is unforgivable..."
Xiao Yuanche picked up the small pot at hand, poured himself a sip of tea, took a sip, and said lightly: "Oh? Death penalty...haha"
He sneered a few times, then looked directly at Boning, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Then tell me what the death penalty is... How can you say... I will not forgive you. of... in me..."
There was cold sweat on Boning's forehead, but he didn't
He dared to rub it and said in a low voice: "My subordinate secretly helped Su Ling... deceived the Prime Minister... or I will die!"
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he leaned on the bench, his expression changed, and he remained silent for a long time.
Boning crouched under the desk, not daring to move. The atmosphere in the room was very depressing.
"Hahahaha..." Xiao Yuanche suddenly laughed.
"My lord...my lord, why are you laughing?" Bonin asked tremblingly.
"Bo Ning...you're okay! Even though you did something that disobeyed and deceived me...you dared to admit it and told me the truth. This is much better than many people."
Oh..." Xiao Yuanche looked at him with a faint smile.
Boning couldn't tell whether Xiao Yuanche was happy or angry.
"With your tricks, do you really think that I, Xiao Yuanche, is easy to deceive? Su Ling pretended to be drunk, but in fact colluded with the officials on death row to kill Shen Zhengnan first, and then set fire to destroy the body and eliminate traces... And you know everything,
But I helped him hide it. I was afraid that I would anger the cell leader and jailer, so I took them back to the Shadow Division in advance. It was called arrest and interrogation, but it was actually for protection..."
When Xiao Yuanche said this, a playful look appeared in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Bo Ning, am I right?"
Boning was horrified, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "My lord, your eyes are as bright as a torch, and nothing can escape your sight... It turns out that you have known it for a long time..."
Xiao Yuanche smiled faintly, looked at Boning, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Boning, fortunately you came to see me today. If you hadn't come this time, I'm afraid... Okay, you
It’s up to you to fight for your own destiny...Get up!"
Uncle
Ning looked surprised, as if he didn't believe his ears, and said tremblingly: "Master, don't you blame Bon Ning?"
Xiao Yuanche seemed to be talking to himself: "Su Ling is full of nonsense, but one thing is right. Shen Zhengnan is dead no matter what, no matter how he dies, he will die... How can I die because of one
I want to kill my trusted enemy general... Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse..."
Bonin felt like he had been granted amnesty. He stood up slowly and wiped the sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.
"Sit down..." Xiao Yuanche pointed to the chair beside him.
Boning hesitated a little, but still sat down halfway.
Xiao Yuanche took another bowl, poured tea, pointed and said: "Eat tea..."
"Subordinate..." Boning only said these two words.
“Have tea!”
"Here!"
Boning drank a sip of tea with a big gulp.
Xiao Yuanche looked at him and said slowly: "Bo Ning... Although you deceived me this time and joined forces with Su Ling, you also planned for me... I know it.
..."
"Thank you, Lord..."
Xiao Yuanche interrupted Boning's words and said with a stern expression: "But, it's just this once, if you do it again, you don't have to come to see me again..."
Boning was horrified, raised his head suddenly, then lowered his head quickly, and whispered: "Subordinate... I understand!"
"Don't think I'm too harsh on you... Look at all the civil and military personnel in the hall last night. Which one is really just for me? Xia Yuanrang, Xu Jinghu, etc. didn't even bother to say...
...Bo Ning, I will give you the entire Shadow Division just to make you
What I want is to be a lone wolf that only belongs to me... Do you understand?"
Bonington first said: "I am ashamed... my subordinate..."
Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not mention this matter. Remember, the final result of this matter is that the death row is leaked and Shen Zhengnan is burned in the prison... It cannot be changed at any time!
Do you remember?"
Boning sat upright and responded: "Subordinates, please remember...there will be no mistakes!"
"Um......"
Xiao Yuanche then picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "Have you figured out how to deal with the cell leader Chen Yang and the jailers?"
Boning looked solemn, cupped his hands and said, "I will kill them when I get back!"
Xiao Yuanche frowned and said, "When did I say I would kill them?"
Boning looked surprised, looked up at Xiao Yuanche, and then respectfully said: "Please tell me, sir!"
"Keep it...when the army is ready, you will be responsible for secretly bringing them back to Longtai, Kyoto...and giving them a new identity..."
Xiao Yuanche thought for a while and then said: "Leave them to work in the Shadow Division...When someone opens the government, let them all be guards..."
Who is Boning? Naturally, he guessed who Xiao Yuanche was referring to by setting up a government and administering the government. Who was this person referring to?
Bonin quickly clasped his fists and agreed.
"Okay, you can go back..." Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said.
"My subordinates resign!..."
As soon as Boning stood up, Xiao Yuanche seemed to have thought of something and said, "How did you check Lin Bulang and that Wen Fanghua?"
Boning was shocked
, quickly raised his hands and said: "My subordinates have found out that Lin Bulang was born in poverty, his parents are dead, and he has no relatives in the world anymore, but he is the disciple of Taoist Kong Xin of Daoxian Palace..."
"Kongxin Taoist... Haha, I didn't expect Lin Bulang to be such an awesome disciple..." Xiao Yuanche said in surprise.
"My subordinates further found out that Wen Fanghua and Lin Bulang are both disciples of Taoist Kong Xin, and Wen Fanghua is his senior sister and the top disciple of Kong Xin..."
"Oh... I have an old relationship with Kong Xin. Even though Wen Fanghua is the master of Lanhai Pavilion, it makes sense for me to join him..." Xiao Yuanche nodded.
Boning paused, and then whispered: "But... there is no big problem with them, but Kongxin also has a second apprentice, Wen Fanghua's junior sister, Lin Bulang's second senior apprentice, this
Girl..."
Xiao Yuanche was slightly startled and said, "Oh? Is there something wrong with this girl?"
Boning whispered: "This girl's name is Mu Yanqing..."
"The surname is Mu?... But are they from the four major families in Jingnan, the Mu family?" Xiao Yuanche said in a deep voice.
"Yes... this Mu Yanqing is the daughter of Mu Song, the old schemer of the late Jingnan Marquis Qian Bofu..." Boning said cautiously.
"hiss......"
Xiao Yuanche took a deep breath, thought for a long time, and then said: "Continue to investigate and see if this Mu Yanqing is just a simple apprentice with a hollow nose, or has another identity... As for Lin Bulang
He and Wen Fanghua secretly monitor their every move. If there is any abnormality, you are allowed to take advantage of it.
!”
"Here!——"
Xiao Yuanche thought for a while and added: "Keep an eye on that boy Su... This boy has been too happy and unseemly recently. Keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything wrong again!"
"
"Here!——"
............
After Boning left, Xiao Yuanche turned around and sat on the bench, suddenly smiled lightly and said: "Okay, I'm gone, you can come out now..."
Behind the screen, a person slowly turned out.
It was Guo Baiyi.
In fact, Guo Baiyi arrived one step ahead of Boning, but before he could speak, Boning arrived behind him.
But Guo Baiyi deliberately said with a serious face: "I, Guo Baiyi, came here to plead guilty to my lord! I will be punished by death!"
Xiao Yuanche glanced at him sideways and said angrily: "Old fox!...Stop pretending, as you wish, I will have your head chopped off right now..."
Guo Baiyi laughed loudly and said, "Brother, are you willing to give up?"
Xiao Yuanche smiled and said: "Okay, sit down!"
Guo Baiyi sat down, Xiao Yuanche also poured tea for him, and asked, "Do you also understand the truth of what happened last night?"
Guo Baiyi smiled and did not deny it: "Baiyi has figured out what is going on from the beginning... But if the elder brother doesn't expose it, I can only cooperate with you to sing this drama..."
..”
"You, you, you..." Xiao Yuanche pointed at Guo Baiyi with his hand, and the two of them laughed.
"That boy Su Ling thinks he has a plan and is complacent. We are the only ones who can coax him, otherwise his ten heads won't be enough to chop off!" Xiao Yuanche seemed to be a little resentful.
"He is also relying on the eldest brother's favor... This is not just the eldest brother.
I'm so used to it, but I arranged him in front of me..." Guo Baiyi said with a smile.
"It's just that Cang Shu's performance this time is indeed beyond my expectations... This child has indeed grown up..." Xiao Yuanche sighed.
"It's also embarrassing for him... He was crying in my car just now..." Guo Baiyi said with a faint smile.
"Cang Shu is indeed more sexual and emotional than Jian Shu..." Xiao Yuanche said calmly.
"Jianshu is also talented, ruthless and decisive, courageous and courageous...but sometimes his methods are too radical and extreme...sometimes, he is not blindly iron-blooded..." Guo
When Bai Yi said this, he stopped and changed the topic: "Eldest brother, have you already decided? When you return to Longtai, Kyoto, will you let Cang Shu open the mansion and govern the government?"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "The children have grown up, it's time to let them do some things... It can be considered as a check and balance on Jianshu... After we return, Sishu and Cangshu will open their own houses."
I've given them every opportunity to govern the government, it just depends on how they do it..."
Guo Baiyi nodded, deeply convinced.
Guo Baiyi suddenly smiled and said: "I thought that the cell leader Chen Yang and the jailers would definitely die, and the eldest brother would definitely kill them all... I never thought when the eldest brother would become so kind.
Where is it?"
Xiao Yuanche teased: "What you said is so disrespectful!..."
"I am guilty..." Guo Baiyi laughed.
"Jianshu is already plotting a plan. Cangshu is still young and lacks helpers around him, so let them help...
....It would be good to leave some people for him..." Xiao Yuanche said seriously.
Hearing this, Guo Baiyi suddenly stood up, straightened his clothes, cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuanche and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Baiyi, would like to thank my lord on behalf of my disciple Xiao Cangshu!..."
Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said: "That's all... I hope what I have done is not too late..."
............
After Guo Baiyi left, Xiao Yuanche suddenly caught a glimpse of two volumes on the desk, divided into upper and lower volumes.
He picked it up and put it in his hand, thought for a while, and then said loudly: "Come here, send these two books to Xiao Jianshu's residence, and tell him that this is the Emperor Chenggong of Xuantu County, and the Emperor gave it to me.
’s... I want him to study hard and understand!”
The attendant came in in response, took the two books with both hands, took a sneak peek, and saw four big words written on the books:
