Born short-lived

According to a report from his insider, Jiang Huaibi secretly withheld a hexagram or inscription. Although it is not clear what was written in it, it must be able to make the high priest of the Jiang clan, who has always been ignorant of things outside the window, think so carefully. It's not that simple either.

It's just that Dong Sheng always felt that Jiang Kun's hidden stake must have been deeper than his, and he might have known the oracle earlier.

At this moment, Jiang Kun sent someone to deliver some stomach-filling pastries to Dong Sheng, and presented them respectfully in front of him.

The little eunuch who delivered the cakes had a greasy smile on his face, and said in a shrill voice: "Your Highness has worked hard guarding the altar. The Chief Assistant asked the little one to bring some food to His Highness. I hope His Highness will not be limited by politeness."

Dong Sheng glanced at him, but didn't move. He smiled slightly and said, "Master Shoufu, you've bothered. Since Gu wants to guard the altar, he must not break the rules."

"If this matter gets out, I'm afraid it won't be very good."

The little eunuch smiled, narrowed his eyes into two slits, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has to look at this thing before you know."

Dong Sheng raised his eyelids and looked at the plate of shortbread in his hand, not knowing what kind of tricks Jiang Kun was trying to play, he said with a sullen face: "It's enough for the father-in-law to give me one, take the rest away. "

The little eunuch responded, picked out a piece of shortbread from a plate, and handed it to Dong Sheng's palm; "The little one, I'll take my leave first."

Dong Sheng held the shortbread in his hand, but didn't eat it. He nodded and smiled at the little eunuch, and watched him walk a long way, then looked down at the shortbread calmly.

He gently opened the shortbread, and sure enough, there was a small roll of paper inside the filling.

Dong Sheng carefully pulled out the roll of paper, stretched it out, and saw that there were only three characters written on the paper - "Yang Bancheng".

Dong Sheng raised his eyebrows, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Jiang Kun meant. He silently repeated the name several times in his heart, and somehow felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

He is guarding the altar here now, and he cannot do many things himself, but if he waits until the guarding of the altar is over, he may not be able to make it in time.

As for the investigation of people, those who have not seen people in the past 1000 years are always worried. He thought about it for a long time, and then sent the news to Zhou Zirong.

In fact, Zhou Zirong didn't know much about it, but when he saw the name, he still had some reactions.

It is impossible for Jiang Kun to show him the name of a commoner, but on the Huaxu king's land, among the rich and nobles, how many families have the surname Yang?

The most famous one is the Yang family in southern Xinjiang.

"Is that the Yang family?" Yuan Li asked.

Zhou Zirong nodded: "There is no one else except them."

He vaguely remembered that when the three clans of the Yang family were sitting together, there seemed to be such a person.

Zhou Zirong sat at the table silently, staring at the note in his hand motionlessly, and his long-standing memory was revealed again, but after many years, the sadness of the past was no longer there.

During the disaster in the East China Sea seven years ago, Zhou Haiping and Zhou Yang's fleet was attacked in the Southeast Ocean. By the time he and Yang Gui arrived for support, Zhou Yang had died.

Afterwards, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, and Zhou Haiping almost did it himself from the beginning to the end.The banknotes of the Huaxu bank were found on those enemy ships, and there were official seals on them, so in the end, it was concluded that the government colluded with pirates and privately resold the white crystal mine.

Among the officials and officials involved in the incident was the Yang family.

The Yang family was regarded as the main culprit, and was sentenced to a three-family contingent, and all the families were executed. Because Yang Gui was a distant relative and had meritorious service in rescue, he escaped the catastrophe.

He still remembered that on the day of the execution, there was a river of blood on the execution ground at the street corner, and the blood soaked into the cracks of the floor tiles, and it couldn't be washed off for several months.

But even then, Zhou Zirong always felt that things were never that simple.

He still vaguely remembered that he hated it to the core.Although the heart-wrenching feeling is gone now, the thought that has been repeated countless times in my heart over the past seven years is still deeply rooted.

He thought he would make them pay in blood.

"Help me send a letter to Mr. Li's house," Zhou Zirong smiled, took out a piece of paper and picked up a pen to write a few words, "Just say that junior Zhou Xi is coming to bother you."

But what Zhou Zirong didn't expect was that as soon as Li Chongwen saw the word "Yang" on the letter, he would come to his palace in person.

The old man also specially picked a spot in the middle of the night, dressed in a black robe, and sneaked up to the gate of Beizhao Prince's Mansion in a very disrespectful way, which almost made Zhou Zirong a little unresponsive.

"Master Li, if there is anything, the younger generation should come to you. Why do you still..." Zhou Zirong personally made him a cup of tea. Li Chongwen came in a hurry, he was very old, and he sat on the chair for a long time without relaxing Come on, it wasn't until I drank a cup of tea that I calmed down a little.

Li Chongwen waved his hands without saying a word: "Hey, why do you have to be polite?"

Sitting opposite Li Chongwen, Zhou Zirong asked implicitly: "Then Master Li also thinks that the Yang family..."

Li Chongwen glanced at him, the wrinkles on his eyelids drooped, he only heard a deep sigh, and then said slowly: "Do you still remember when the current high priest of the Jiang clan succeeded to the throne?"

Zhou Zirong was a little confused for a while, so he asked, "Seven years ago?"

Zhou Zirong suddenly realized this.

Seeing his expression, Li Chongwen knew that he probably thought of it too.

The pieces of information that appeared in his knowledge in the past were gradually connected together, Zhou Zirong squinted his eyes in disbelief: "You mean..."

Li Chongwen sighed: "You were still young at the time, and you knew little about the capital. This Yang Bancheng is the young master of the Yang family, a man of outstanding talent. He was promoted to Beijing in the middle of the year, and he was supposed to be a censor."

Speaking of this, it is already a bit too much, and it is inconvenient to talk about it in detail later.

Even a priest is still a human being, not to mention that Jiang Huaibi had not inherited the position of priest back then, she was still just a young girl in her twenties and eight years, her mind was full of love affairs.If at this time there happened to be a young talent who was attracted to him, it would be very difficult for her to be unmoved.

And girls who are just in love are always surprisingly stubborn.

Jiang Huaibi has been selected as the successor of the high priest of the Jiang clan since he was born.The previous high priests of the Jiang clan all had the body of a heartless and desireless boy, who came to this world alone, walked alone, and then left alone.

Therefore, the existence of Yang Bancheng is absolutely not allowed.

Jiang Huaibi is not stupid, so she also understands.It happened that something happened to the Yang family at that time, and almost all the Yang family members in southern Xinjiang were beheaded. Because Yang Bancheng was far away from the capital and was a censor, he was not considered dead.

Jiang Huaibi knew that if he continued to persevere, Yang Bancheng would surely lose his life, so he honestly inherited the position of sacrificial priest and severed contact with Yang Bancheng ever since.

Unfortunately, others did not believe her determination.

At that time, there was a lot of turmoil in the court, and Yang Bancheng's situation was in jeopardy. In order to eliminate future troubles forever, the elders of the Jiang clan jointly charged Chen Yang Bancheng with [-] crimes.Of course the empress knew what they meant, so she abruptly sentenced Yang Bancheng to exile on the frontier.

When Jiang Huaibi heard the news, he hurriedly sent someone to chase after him, but it was a step too late—Yang Bancheng died on a country road on the way to exile.When they found it, the body had been gnawed beyond recognition by jackals.

As for what happens next, of course no one cares about it.

No wonder Jiang Huaibi personally went to the joint trial of Yang Gui's three divisions.

When Zhou Zirong understood, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

He thought, how could Jiang Huaibi not hate something like this happened.

And if she hated, who would she hate?

An elder of the Jiang clan?Or the Dong family?

Zhou Zirong really didn't dare to think about it.

So what did Jiang Kun mean by telling them this?Sow discord?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Chongwen felt a little uneasy, and persuaded: "No matter what, it's better to be steady first, and don't call the enemy fast."

Zhou Zirong forced the corner of his mouth to smile, he knew what Li Chongwen meant.That guy Jiang Kun told them this must not have good intentions, it is estimated that they will be jealous of Jiang Huaibi because of this, and gradually develop suspicions.

After all, if Dong Sheng really joined forces with the Jiang Clan, it would be extremely detrimental to Jiang Kun.

What Jiang Kun wants is to be in harmony with each other.

Li Chongwen finished what he had to say, and he didn't want to stay in the palace for a long time, for fear of accidents.And Zhou Zirong had been thinking about this matter in his heart, and there was always a stone hanging from his chest that he couldn't let go. He sent Li Chongwen away with a lot of thoughts, and went back to his bedroom without saying a word.

But the so-called blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. The good news is rarely seen, and the bad news comes in pairs.When Zhou Zirong was about to dawn, he was woken up again in a daze, and usually waking Zhou Zirong up in the middle of the night would not be a good thing.

Yuan Li stood outside the door with a dignified expression, and when Zhou Zirong opened the door, he handed him a secret letter box: "I found the hexagram and divination."

Zhou Zirong frowned slightly, and hurriedly called him into the room, looked around to see if there was no one outside, and then closed the door again.

"Does Your Highness know?"

Yuan Li's face was full of indescribable words, and he said bluntly: "General, let's read the inscriptions first."

Zhou Zirong's eyelids have been twitching since just now, and when he read the inscriptions now, he knew that his bad luck premonition had come true.
