The ninth eunuch said: "Wanyan Lan admitted that the target of the assassination was Ouyang, the magistrate of Yangping. Wanyan Lan did not admit that the assassination was instructed by the Jin court, and Wanyan Lan did not want to explain the reason for the assassination. Then Wanyan Lan injured the reporter and fled. The Royal News has been circulated by local newspapers to draw the possible escape route and work together. Once it appears, first-hand materials will be dug out immediately. The Cai Mansion Assassin will be followed up. This newspaper will give a heavy reward if any clue providers are available. In addition, Ou has no worries about his life, but due to his physical condition, the ground on Yangping is basically stable. Yangping Business Association is studying economic sanctions on Jin."

The Ninth Eunuch took a breath and continued to recite: "According to the research of the Yangping Business Association, the following measures may be taken. First, the transaction with Jinhai Road will be stopped for an unlimited period. Second, go to the border between Jin and Liao and purchase various materials at a high price. Third, each Jurchen will be offered high rewards. Fourth, join forces with Liao merchants to open a money shop to control the flow of coins to the Jin Kingdom. The specific matters are still under study and have not been announced yet."

"People from all walks of life in Yangping expressed concern about this matter, expressed their dissatisfaction with the Jin people, hoping that the court would severely punish the murderer. Local gentry jointly offered a reward of 10,000 yuan to Wanyan Lan. All counties in Shouzhou began to investigate strictly to prevent Wanyan Lan from fleeing into the country. It's over!"

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Zhan Ming."

"I'm in a humble position!"

"I asked you something, and you must answer honestly."

"I know something, I dare not hide it."

Zhao Yu asked: "How much money does this Ouyang have now?"

"..." Zhan Ming's heart skipped a beat and said, "I am in charge of the county magistrate..."

"Is there a hundred thousand coins?"

Zhan Ming knelt down and replied after a long time: "You need to be more."

"Five hundred thousand?"

“…”

"One million?"

Zhan Ming Lushan Waterfall Khan said, "Go back to your Majesty, there are more than one million people in Tokyo merchants."

Li Han said on the side: "Your Majesty, I know that Lord Ou is good at getting money. If I have to calculate this way, I heard that some officials have a net worth of tens of millions." He did not say it clearly, but Zhao Yu knew that this was the fact.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I don't mean that, don't be too careful. Ouyang is now recuperating in Guangde Palace in the eastern suburbs. I have sent someone to protect him, so don't disturb him to recuperate. Yangping has a lot of things, so you can go back for now."

Zhan Ming and Shen Me left, and Zhang Xuanming said: "Your Majesty, what should I do with that Liang Hongyu?"

"After the Kaifeng Prefecture makes it clear, you will do whatever you want. But if you think of her rescue, she will keep her whole body. It is because Ouyang was injured. Otherwise, I would have to blame Ouyang for being lustful and be desperate, so I would find an assassin as a concubine."

"yes!"

...

Liang Hongyu lived a better life than others in the Kaifeng Prefecture prison. When she was in court, she didn't say a word, and no matter what the prefect said, her face was very calm. The prefect finally broke his promise after the third day, under pressure and began to torture him. But even so, Liang Hongyu still didn't say a word.

The fourth day was whipping and finger-climbing sticks. The prefect was a little merciless and didn't take any ruthless moves. But if he didn't take any action in another day or two, he might not be able to do anything about it. Ouyang had to give face. If Ouyang died, it would be fine if he didn't want to be careful of himself. This guy had a group of journalists who could just dig out some of his gossip news, and he couldn't bear it. But the court was urging him to hurry up and let him finish Liang Hongyu's affairs quickly and shift the focus to the assassin.

In the cell, the prefect came to see Liang Hongyu in person, a piece of paper with good writing, plus a pen and an ink. The prefect said, "Miss Liang, Lord Ou told me not to make things difficult for you. The emperor has already said something and left you a complete body. No matter what your purpose is, draw a secret on this confession, and I promise not to make things difficult for your family."

Liang Hongyu looked on the paper and said that he intended to assassinate Cai Jing. It seemed that the government had figured out his identity. He nodded, but did not sign, and pressed a fingerprint with his thumb.

The prefectural court collected the paper and said, "Three days later, I will hang myself. I will tell you if I need anything. It is also considered that I am worthy of Lord Ou's intention to entrust you."

"Thank you!" Others were polite, and Liang Hongyu finally spoke politely.

...

"Hang?" Ouyang asked in surprise.

Li Yifeng nodded: "This is good. If it was a plot to the emperor, it would probably be a punishment, and his mother would not have a good end. In fact, there is no need to be sentenced to this case. She pretended to be a servant and was guilty of being a tyrant, and then she also brought a weapon... death sentence. If it weren't for your inner guard's plea for love, and for saving your life, she would probably not have ended up like this."

"It's better to die, but what's your logic?" Ouyang reluctantly stood up, walked a few steps and said, "I want to see her and help me open the lower joints."

"This is fine, but the adults cannot move their bodies lightly, otherwise the wound will crack and be in trouble."

"Stop talking nonsense, be careful to deduct your wages." Ouyang asked: "Have Wanyan Lan found it?"

"No!"

"It's not that simple for her to return to Jin Kingdom. She is enemies by sea and land, so she probably lurks on the spot. There are many people and she is not convenient for her to speak rudely. If you want to find her, focus on the suburbs, or nunners in the city, or some place of cultivation. Especially the Taoist temple, if it were me, I would rely on the Taoist religion as the state religion and could not search, lurking in the Taoist temple."

"Well, I'm going to prepare, Bailian, you guys are optimistic about sir."

Bai Lianhe and the two yamen runners who have been staying in Yangping nodded: "Don't worry!"

...

Li Yifeng was quick-witted. Although things were a bit difficult, most people were still focused on the assassin. Li Yifeng used some homework and finally got the document from the Ministry of Justice. Ouyang and Bai Lian entered the Kaifeng Prison, and then signaled to the prison guards. Bai Lian knew that everyone was stuffed some money.

The prison guard also went up to the road, and after taking the money, he cleared the area. Then he opened the prison, waited outside the White Lotus, and Ouyang went in. Liang Hongyu leaned against the corner, spreading his head. He was wearing a white prison uniform, and the clothes were covered with blood stains after being whipped. This ordinary person did not change his clothes, but usually carried them himself. One reason for changing the prison uniform was a retaliation, and the other reason was the death penalty.

Ouyang swept away Liang Hongyu's head and found that he was asleep. He put the food box next to him and sat next to him. Because he had an interrogation document from the Ministry of Justice, there was no time limit. The jailers ignored it, so they sat there. About an hour later, Liang Hongyu groaned, obviously the wound was painful, and he woke up slowly.

When Liang Hongyu saw Ouyang, she was startled and asked carefully: "It's you?"

"Yes!" Ouyang smiled and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It's all skin trauma. I didn't expect you to come." She knew Ouyang was fine early in the morning.

"You let your enemies go and save my life. If you don't come to see you, am I a beast?" Ouyang opened the food box and said, "Eat something first."

"Yeah!" Liang Hongyu nodded and went to get the chopsticks, but the hand bone was injured but could not hold it. Ouyang took the chopsticks, picked up the pastry and fed it to his mouth.

Ouyang said while feeding: "I'm not sure I can save you."

Liang Hongyu shook her head and swallowed the food and said, "It's not that she is not sure, but that she can't save her. Even the emperor may not dare to forgive me easily, otherwise she will not be able to explain to the old thief Cai. You don't have to worry. In Leying, they have already started to force me to pick up customers. I didn't plan to live after I escaped. Finally, I can keep my innocent body."

"They won't make things difficult for you these two days. You should also take care of yourself, so don't lose money on yourself."

"Yeah! Will you come to see me off then?"

"Yes!" Ouyang nodded: "What do you want to eat?"

"Just come, it doesn't matter what you eat."

Ouyang nodded and asked, "Do you want to notify your mother?"

"No, don't let her know. I'll ask you to take care of my mother. I can't repay you in this life, but in the next life..."

"You can return it when you are a cow and a horse." Ouyang smiled and said, "It's too vulgar, is it good to have some new words?"

"Well... Then I will be your concubine in the next life and make you comfortable serving the marquis."

"This is still true!" Ouyang stood up and said, "I still have something to do. I may not have time to come here in the past two days. You can take good care of yourself."

"You have a lot of work, go and do it!"

"Yeah!" Ouyang went out and took a piece of Jiaozi to the prison guard and said, "Change a better place, clean clothes, and let someone serve outside."

When the prison guard saw the face value of the Jiaozi, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Lord Ou, I guarantee that Miss Liang is like in my own home."

After leaving the prison, Bai Lian asked, "Sir? Do you really want to save me?"

"Why not? But I'm really not sure. I asked for the killing at noon the day after tomorrow, and the time was tighter." Ouyang said: "You go to Tokyo Yangping Money House to withdraw 10,000 yuan in a while, and all of them will be exchanged for gold." Although there is a method of fighting, this method is only convective, slaughter, slaughter, and slashing. Even if you have money, you can't use it.

"Sir, what's the use of gold?" Bai Lian also knew the law. Whether from public or private, Liang Hongyu would die.

"To save Liang Hongyu, you must connect to the fourth route. The first route of the emperor, the second route of Cai Jing, the third route of the people, and the fourth route of military generals. Cai Jing uses gold, and the people have royal reports. I still have some acquaintances in the military generals. The most troublesome thing is the emperor."

"Why do you say that?"

Ouyang smiled bitterly and said in a low smile: "She was usurping the throne and was most sensitive to this kind of secret weapon approaching her. In addition to the people who are sure to fool the other three routes, the emperor is not sure, especially the emperor, which is very troublesome. If all the four routes have done their jobs, the military generals may be bigger. After all, Liang's father died a bit unfair. If someone gives me a gift to me, and then the time is right, he will help me say something, just because he is worried that there is too late."

Bai Lian asked: "Cai Jing may know Liang Hongyu's life experience, I'm afraid..."

"Not necessarily, Cai Jing is a man who is hidden and will use any advantage to make profits for himself. The money is given and win me over. Then I promise that if I have filial piety every year, this person may help him plead with mercy. I ask me to owe him a favor. This favor is not for me, but for others to see. If I make things difficult for him in the future, no matter he wants to say, officials will discuss my ungratefulness. There are rules in the officialdom, you can be a villain, but if you violate some rules, it will make people feel ashamed. Why is Zong Ze not favored and too upright? He will do anything, whether it is grace or revenge. Li Gang is capable, but why can't he be promoted? Because even the emperor feels that he can't get along with others. You say that if Zhan Ming and Gan Xin can't get along with me, will the yamen still work normally?"

"Sir, you don't seem to be someone who understands these things." Bai Lian was a little surprised.

"It's not me, it was the four ways that King Wenqing of Guangde Palace taught me to fight." The person outside the square had a clear mind, and could see clearly and thoroughly.

"Why...he?"

"Well... Maybe I'm afraid that he** will be kidnapped again. Haha!"

"..." Bai Lian sweated heavily!

Ouyang leaned close to Bai Lian and whispered: "It's a big deal. You've been in the underworld at least. Can you find some doomed people to rob the law?"

"..." Bai Lian immediately shook her head like a rattle, even if someone dared not! You think everyone is as brave as you, and you can think of the robbery of the Dharma field.

"Yes!" Ouyang sighed: "Time is too tight, otherwise we will go to Yangping to transport more than a dozen rocket series artillery pieces..."

"Shh!" Bai Lian hurriedly stopped Ouyang and continued to say it. It was on the street. She could see that Ouyang was trying to calm himself down, but in fact he was quite helpless. According to her calculations, if these four routes are really fought, Ouyang would be upset. Especially when using the royal newspaper to incite the people, if things are not done, it will definitely be enough to drink a pot afterwards.

Sure enough, after returning to Guangde Palace, Ouyang thought about it carefully and changed his mind: "The Royal News cannot be involved. Otherwise, it will become a taboo for the people in the court. Although it will happen sooner or later, it is not worth it to fall into this matter. Otherwise, others will be vigilant now and strangle the journalists' moral cultivation. This matter must be resolved in the circle."

Wang Wenqing nodded and said, "Mr. Ou, you said the government is good, and you said the military affairs are good. In fact, it is just two people. The first is the emperor, and the second is Cai Xiang. Now the power in the temple is not as scattered as the Emperor, and the emperor plays the art of balance. Now almost all civil officials regard Cai Xiang as their horses. The military generals are still not on the table. But if Ou only seeks these two steps, I am afraid there will be some trouble in the future."

Ouyang asked: "What's the trouble?"

"The Privy Council is the highest military affairs of the Song Dynasty, but Cai Xiang is the master of the Jinshi. Not being able to be promoted to an official is the standard for his affairs. For example, what he has done in recent years has not been offended by Cai Xiang, but he always exposes it as your youth. Zhang Xuanming represents the emperor, otherwise who would take this sixth rank official seriously? Now under his governance, the general returns to his heart and has a vague momentum against civil officials. The opposition between civil and military officials is an inevitable situation in the future and is also a means for the emperor to play with trade-offs.

Yang Ping praised the military generals and gave face to them everywhere. Otherwise, would the adults think that no one would make things difficult for the Le Camp? If the adults showed goodwill to Cai Xiang for a woman and then helped Cai Xiang do one or two things, they would probably join the party struggle in the future. First, the adults' military factory may not be easy to make profits. Second, such as using foreign troops, merchants cannot make profits. Third, there are soldiers from all walks of life, and Yang Ping's goods will be incurred from all directions, and they may also suffer unnecessary trouble."

Ouyang asked: "Is it so exaggerated?"

Wang Wenqing smiled and said, "Party disputes in the temple are things that happen in every court. If you know the emperor, you will definitely not let one of them be big and weigh each other. For example, if someone submits a statement, you need to increase the commercial tax. If the ministers are in a turmoil, where will the emperor make a decision? At this time, someone said that this is inappropriate, the emperor can turn to one side according to his preferences, and truly have the power in hand, and will not be said to be arbitrary by others. For example, when Mr. Liang's affairs, the power of the ruling is actually on the emperor, but the adults need someone to submit a statement to raise a debate, so that the emperor will make a decision. But who do you want to ask for? Is Cai Xiang, who is the top scholar with the adults, or the Privy Council with good daily relationships, you have to consider it. So I said that the use of the people is all based on the overall situation."

"..." Ouyang pondered.

Wang Wenqing said again: "Whether you are a military exercise or a military factory, it is all official business. Now this matter is a private matter, and it is the key to grasping it just right. It depends on what the adult Yangping does and the emperor's attitude. As long as the adult is willing, going straight to the temple is just a matter of inch. It is not difficult to climb the pavilion after a few years of experience in the court. Because the adult's future is bright, this matter is particularly sensitive."

"Xianchang means, if I am just a fool, will this matter be easier?"

"No, if the adults are incompetent, who would speak for them?"
