Cui Ang looked at the sleeping second son quietly, and two tears rolled down slowly.

After being sent back to Daming Mansion from Shanyang County, Cui Jin only woke up once.

"Bachelor, please be careful. Although the second young master was seriously injured, the doctor over there in Shanyang County handled it very well. There is no need to worry about the second young master's life!" Mai Zili, a famous doctor in Dawaifu, said to Cui Ang while packing the medicine box.

."It just takes a longer time to adjust. It can be restored to the same as before in half a year at most."

"Thank you sir!" Cui Ang bowed his hands as a gift. "I will need a lot of trouble in the next period of time."

"If you don't tell me, bachelor, I will come often. This first month is the most critical." Mai Zili bowed and left.

Turning around, he looked at Cui Jin on the bed, could he really be the same as before?

It's different. Cui Jin was stabbed in the face, her appearance was disfigured, and her future career in officialdom was basically ruined.

"Take care of Erlang!" Cui Ang ordered with a gloomy face, turned around and left the house.

When I walked into another room, I saw a person waiting for me. This man was tall and tall, and the most eye-catching thing was the long black hair on a huge mole on his cheek.

Cui Ang walked up to this man, without saying a word, raised his arm and slapped him hard.

With a snap, five fingerprints appeared on the man's face.

With a bang, the man knelt in front of Cui Ang: "Bachelor, I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Originally, the young master had already avoided it under the protection of the guards, but who knew that he would encounter such a thing?

thing!"

Cui Ang sat on the chair with a livid face, "Do you know who did it?"

The man shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I saw the injuries of the guards. The people who did it were all veterans, and their skills were very good. Although they used short weapons, the four guards had little ability to parry.

He killed four guards and bachelors in such a short period of time, and the person who did it is definitely not an ordinary rooster and dog thief!"

Cui Ang took a deep breath, and then another, his mood gradually calmed down, and his face returned to normal, "Get up, I can't blame you for this. There are still people watching us, you have to be careful.

Be careful, those who took action must be placed properly, and they must not move again without my instructions. As for the leaders who know the inside story, take action and deal with them yourself!"

"Ah?" The man raised his head and looked at Cui Ang in shock.

Cui Ang looked at him faintly. The man shuddered and lowered his head: "Yes, bachelor, I'll do it right away!"

When the man walked out of the room, Cui Ang still sat quietly for a long time. He suddenly grabbed the tea cup on the table and smashed it on the ground.

The night is already dark.

Xia Jie, the former magistrate of Daming Prefecture and now the pacifier of Hebei Road, is still reviewing official documents.

When he was a famous magistrate, he basically didn't care much about official affairs. Most of the things were handled by a group of staff and subordinates headed by Xu Hong. He basically used to play around with friends by singing the wind and moon.

The main business was to call friends, even when King Zhao Zhe of Jing was in Hebei.

In fact, no matter who comes to serve as Hebei Road's pacifier, most hope that Xia Jie will remain in this state. Of course, no one will use this to warn Xia Jie.

So whether it was Jing Wang Zhao Zhe or later Cui Ang, they still got along quite well with Xia Jie.

But things are different now.

As the leader of Hebei Road, Xia Jie was faced with the current situation. He had only slept two to three hours a day for three consecutive days.

But there was no sign of fatigue on Xia Jie's body. Instead, his face was red and he was full of energy.

This is the smell of power!

Hebei Road Pacifier is a peak that 99% of people will never be able to climb in their lifetime, but for Xia Jie, this is just a stepping stone for him to return to the peak of power.

He defeated Zhao Zhe, the king of Jing, and Cui Ang, the minister of the Privy Council.

Although Cui Ang completely destroyed the foundation laid by King Jing Zhao Zhe over the years, some strength was still left in the end, and Xia Jie, who had been staying in Hebei, knew this best.

Now, he just needs to clean up this mess, end the war with the Liao people decently, and then he can return to Bianliang in glory.

As for negotiating with the Liao people, isn't there Cui Ang, a traitor?

"Bachelor!" Xu Hong walked in carrying a food box, "Eat something! It's already past midnight. You can't stay up like this every day."

"There's no way!" Xia Jie stood up with a smile, rubbed his wrist, and said: "Look at the official documents in this case, they all need to be reviewed by me personally. From morning to night, you can see that he is young

Already?"

"Just a little more!" Xu Hong smiled bitterly: "These were originally sent in by me. Bachelor, in this current situation, you can't finish processing these official documents even if you stay awake."

"But we can't stay overnight with Zhang Chao's affairs!" After picking up a bowl of millet porridge and taking a sip, Xia Jie said: "Changsheng, our future must still rely on Zhang Chao on the battlefield.

What a performance!”

"Captain Zhang is as steady as an old tortoise!" Xu Hong said with a smile: "Even though Yelujun has all kinds of tricks, when he encounters Commander Zhang, he will be like a dog with no place to bite. As time goes by, he might be defeated by Zhang."

The Taiwei found an opportunity to bite back. But even if Taiwei Zhang makes a great contribution, he cannot do without you, Bachelor, to coordinate the overall situation and ensure that the Taiwei has no worries!"

Xia Jie smiled slightly.

"Bachelor, have you heard about Cui Jin?" Xu Hong said with a low smile: "Out of courtesy, I still took some time in the afternoon to express condolences on your behalf."

Xia Jie chuckled softly: "How come no one came to tell me about such a big thing? Cui Jin is really lucky to be able to save his life this time."

"Who did this?" Xu Hong was a little confused: "This stance seems to be to blame King Jing. Could it be King Chu who did it? Zhao Yuan, who is next to King Chu, is an extremely cunning person.

, he can come up with such a vicious plan."

Xia Jie chuckled, "Is that what you think?"

"Bachelor thinks someone else did it? Who is it? After thinking about it, I feel that no matter who it is, there is no reason to do this? After all, there are not many people who have the ability to do this." Xu Hongdao

.

"In my opinion, this matter was most likely done by Cui Ang himself!" Xia Jie picked up a pickle and put it in his mouth, chewing it until it made a crackling sound.

Xu Hong looked at Xia Jie in shock, "How is this possible?"

"Why not?" Xia Jie sneered: "Do you think King Jing will rebel?"

"No!" Xu Hong said flatly.

"I believe that there were some letters between King Jing and Qin Kuan, but I don't believe that he colluded with the generals to plot rebellion." Xia Jie said: "Cui Ang has evil intentions, but he also knows that people like Qin Kuan and Zheng Yu

A general of this level is not someone he can easily bribe to frame King Jing, so he simply killed him, not only to shift the blame for his military mistakes, but also to make the case of King Jing unconfirmed."

"I understand, the purpose of attacking those criminals is to silence them!"

"It's not a matter of silence, we just want to make this matter more practical!" Xia Jie said: "Of course Cui Ang knows that the people he sent to Bianliang are ruthless, and they are not evidence of crime at all. There are many so-called letters.

As well as the physical evidence of treason, they are all fake. What is fake is fake and will never stand up to scrutiny."

Xu Hong took a breath: "So killing these criminals and destroying these so-called evidences made this matter look really impressive. It seems that no one directly testified against King Jing, but at the same time

Reasonably, no one can tell clearly whether King Jing did these things! More importantly, the officials will be suspicious of this matter, that His Highness King Jing is killing people and silencing them."

"That's right!" Xia Jie said with a smile: "There are still King Chu and his group in the capital! Is there any reason not to take the opportunity to make this matter bigger? This time, King Jing is really in doom!"

"Cui Ang has no other abilities. He is really a good hand at doing such a thing!" Xu Hong shook his head repeatedly: "I really want to express my admiration. In order to make things happen and to get rid of the suspicion, he even did it continuously.

My own son is also willing to bear it. Cui Jin’s injuries are just a hair away from death."

"I'm afraid this is really an accident!" Xia Jie laughed loudly: "There is a way of heaven in the dark, and Cui Ang did this to hide evil intentions and treason. God will naturally give him some punishment. As for Cui Jin's injury,

It’s definitely not part of the plan!”

"What do you mean?"

Xia Jie scooped another bowl of millet porridge for himself and said while drinking, "Have you forgotten those people who set up fake road guides?"

"Old Xin'an Army!" Xu Hong was so startled that he almost jumped up. "Since it was them, why didn't they save those criminals?"

"I'm afraid it happened so suddenly that they had no time and didn't expect it. By the time they realized it, almost everyone was dead," Xia Jie said.

"At a time like this, they decided to take advantage of the chaos to attack Cui Jin? Such decisiveness is remarkable." Xu Hong said with a tongue-tied tongue.

"Do you know who the leader of this group is?"

"Isn't his name Gao He? I heard he is Qin Kuan's number one aide!"

Xia Jie shook his head: "The news has come back. The leader is Qin Kuan's son Qin Min. That boy did not die in Baigou Station, but came back alive."

Xu Hong was suddenly startled: "Bachelor, Qin Min is still alive, so there will be trouble."

"It's not our trouble anyway!" Xia Jie said with a smile: "Our trouble is the Liao people in front of us. Now let others deal with the Bianliang troubles. After we deal with the Liao people's troubles, we can reopen the Hebei Road."

When I return to Bianliang after being rejuvenated, the troubles in Bianliang will probably be settled!"

"What a pity, His Highness King Jing!" Xu Hong shook his head: "After this incident, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn over again. The officials were already very suspicious, and King Jing was too sharp some time ago. This time, he broke the sword and wanted to get rid of him.

I'm afraid it's impossible. Bachelor, it seems that the King of Chu is the only choice. Do you want to move around?"

"Why are you moving?" Xia Jie shook his head: "You are right, the officials are very jealous. It is true that they are jealous of King Jing, but are they not jealous of King Chu? Now King Jing is going to be in trouble, some people think If we don't understand the formality, it will be unlucky to vigorously support the King of Chu at this time. We ignore everyone and only have official eyes in our eyes. This is the right way."

"The bachelor is right, I think it's wrong." Xu Hong said thoughtfully: "At this time, if someone jumps out to promote the King of Chu through King Jing's incident, I'm afraid he will not be able to gain favor. I’m afraid it’s going to change drastically.”

"This king, as long as he lives for one day, he doesn't want any of his power to be taken away." Xia Jie said: "After I was kicked out of the government hall to become the prefect of Daming Mansion, I thought about it a little bit more. I understand. What is meant by co-ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats? If they follow his will, then we will rule together. If they do not follow his will, then drive these people away, and then find another group of people who will follow his will to rule the world together."

Xu Hong laughed: "Bachelor, maybe even Xianggong Luo will fall into this matter this time. If Xianggong Luo falls, you will have no rivals after you return to Bianliang!"

Xia Jie smiled and said: "I stayed on the Hebei Road for more than ten years. If I can't be the chief assistant when I return to Bianliang, what's the point? Luo Jieshan is almost seventy, and he still can't go there, and there are There is a tendency that the older you get, the more confused you become. If you stay here any longer, you will definitely bring disgrace to yourself."

In Hejian Prefecture, Yelujun walked among the grain villages.

These are naturally what he captured this time.

To be honest, Yelujun himself did not expect that it would go so smoothly. And all this was thanks to Cui Ang for killing Qin Kuan and Zheng Yu. This made the morale of the Song army fall to the bottom. In the battle of Hejian Mansion, the Song army collapsed at the first touch. .A large amount of food, weapons, and all kinds of luggage fell into Yelujun's hands.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Ping came in a hurry.

Yelujun stopped and waved his hand, signaling everyone around him to retreat.

"There's news!" Although there was no one around, Lin Ping lowered his voice and whispered in Yelujun's ear for a while.

Yelujun's eyes opened wider and wider, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker. Finally, he couldn't help laughing.

"Wonderful, wonderful, so to speak, our possibility of success has increased a lot!" Yelujun said: "Brother, you must pay more attention to this matter and send more people to Bianliang. Originally, The manpower in Bianliang must also be fully mobilized. This opportunity is rare! With Cui Ang's help, we are even more powerful, hahaha!"

"Your Majesty, I'm going to do this myself!" Lin Ping said: "Gao He's talent is limited after all. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle such a big problem, and whether he will repeat it again, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it." Not allowed."

"With your status, it would be a bit embarrassing if you were caught by them in Bianliang!" Yelujun touched his chin and said: "Don't underestimate their Imperial City Division, there are many capable people in it."
