The next day, when the old lady went to the Liu Mansion to talk about the marriage, Zhu Dingbei received the news: Xie Yonglin had entered Sizhou and would arrive in Luojing soon.

After discussing with Lord Hou for a while, he was going to Changxinhou's Mansion to discuss matters with Ning Heng. He didn't want to go out, but the carriages of Changxinhou's Mansion had already come a long way.

Ning Heng jumped out of the carriage and was a little surprised to see Zhu Dingbei at the door. Hearing that he was going to the mansion, the smile on his face deepened by two points. "Do we have a good understanding?" Zhu Dingbei hooked Gou Ningheng's little thumb and smiled at Yanyan.The two went to Zhu Dingbei's small courtyard study and sat down to talk, Shui Sheng served tea and water, and finally said: "The old Hou Ye just sent someone over to say that I want to stay with Chang Xin Hou Ye to drink together at noon."

Zhu Dingbei said: "Understood, isn't Grandpa always greedy for the old man's wine in the alley of Nanluo Hutong recently? You go there today and find a way to get him two jars back."

Shui Sheng agreed with a smile.

Ning Heng said: "Let Uncle Ning go with you, the old gentleman and him are also drinking buddies, so we will save some face."

Uncle Ning outside heard it, responded, and left with Shuisheng in a short while.

Zhu Dingbei poured a cup of tea for Ning Heng, and told him the news he just got.Ning Heng grasped the hand that seduced him just now, and then said: "There is no rush, I have something to tell you here."

As soon as Zhu Dingbei heard that it was serious business, he looked away from his sharp fingers, urging him to continue.

Ning Heng said: "There is news from the Xianbei Mansion that Xie Yonglin's biological mother's body was stolen and taken away."

"Oh? Who?"

Hearing Ning Heng's tone, Zhu Dingbei knew that the line had been found, so he asked.

Ning Heng: "The Zheng family."

Zhu Dingbei's eyelids twitched, and he immediately said, "Didn't they bury her and Hu Erdo together?"

"I haven't been buried yet, but it should be close to ten. The scouts from the Xiongnu sent back news that the king of the Xiongnu came here to abstain from sex and food, and it should be to keep her filial piety."

Zhu Dingbei's expression changed a few times when he heard the words, and finally he sighed: "In this way, Xie Yonglin is really a big fish. If he has such a relationship, then the Hun King will definitely not sit back and watch him being questioned by the emperor. , we will definitely do it before he arrives in Luojing, and it will be in these two days."

Ning Heng nodded, and then said: "I am afraid that the Zheng family is not as simple as entrusted by others. They put Xie Yonglin's biological mother in the ancestral hall with the courtesy of the ancestors. Because she died in vain and the death was extremely tragic, they returned the coffin. I have invited a mage, and I have to do a death ritual for ninety-nine and eighty-one days before I can send her to peace."

If it is not a close relative, no one will send people into their own ancestral hall, which will ruin the incense of the ancestors and the luck of the younger generation.

Zhu Dingbei nodded to express his understanding, and asked again: "Didn't many people see the body of Xie Yonglin's biological mother that day, why didn't there be any rumors?"

Ning Heng saw that he was curious, so he didn't hide it: "Your Majesty hates Xie Yonglin deeply. I think it was the day when the Huns' secret guards wanted to kill the ancient military master. His Majesty the Emperor recorded this grievance on Xie Yonglin. Xie Yonglin's His biological mother was forcibly hung by His Majesty on the beam of the house with white silk in front of Xie Yonglin. She struggled for a quarter of an hour before dying. It can be seen how painful it was when she died. Xie Yonglin vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Xie's mother was He died of suffocation, and it took two days for his death to show up, with a long tongue and blue face, refusing to close his eyes."

"Tsk tsk, the old emperor is not afraid of hurting Tianhe."

For Xie's mother and Xie Yonglin, he has no sympathy at all. Thinking about the people who were massacred in Jiaozhou, they can still live with peace of mind after carrying so many human lives, which shows that they are already inhumane.Not to mention the 81-day sorcerer, even if it is 81 years, she can't atone for her sins.

After thinking for a while, he said: "If Xie Yonglin and Hu Erdu are really related by blood, even if the King of the Huns cannot come in person, he will definitely send someone or send an obituary. Perhaps the King of the Huns is not the only one who is so courteous."

"Well, people are staring at it, don't worry." Ning Heng is not a fool, and when he heard the news, he immediately arranged it.

Zhu Dingbei smiled with satisfaction, and added: "Then I'll also check out the news in Luojing to see who has been running to the temple diligently recently, or who is a vegetarian. Ning Heng, you also draw attention, who There are no funeral comprador paper money and incense candles in people's homes."

He couldn't wait to follow the clues.

The Zheng family was still extremely hidden in the eyes of the emperor and Li Dang. Those people were thinking about their dead, and they probably wouldn't dare to take action. He just waited and saw who would come to the surface.

The two discussed this matter, and then discussed how to use the Xiongnu King Gilling to rob people, taking advantage of the chaos to take Xie Yonglin away for interrogation.

Zhu Dingbei said: "The King of the Huns is far away in the north. He must have the help of Li Dang if he wants to accomplish this. But Sizhou is the emperor's territory, and he must have set traps along the way to trap these robbers."

He spread the map of mountains and rivers in Luojing, Sizhou on the table, and pointed out three of the terrains that are most difficult to attack and defend: "The goals of these three places are too obvious. We are jumping up, so we just put two secret sentries here. Besides, this time, it is most likely that the robbers are hiding their children."

He pointed to a terrain surrounded by mountains and rivers, "This is next to the official road, the mountains are short and the water is shallow, and the terrain is open. It is extremely difficult to hide at a glance. It stands to reason that it should not be a good place to hide. However, the water level rose during the spring flood this year. After a while, it has been raining again and again for the past few days. As long as people with good water skills can hide hundreds of people below. Attack when an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack point is still far away. At this time, the vigilance of the escort soldiers is the most lax. Although there is no convenience in the terrain and they can only attack by force, it is the easiest place to succeed."

When it comes to the strategy of war, Zhu Dingbei said it clearly and logically. Ning Heng felt that the brilliance in his eyes was more sultry than the usual smile and hopeful look. Zhu Dingbei gave him a hard look before retracting his emotions. Coughing his palm against his lips, he regained his serious expression.

Zhu Dingbei continued: "If they succeed, then they have only one way to go, and that is to go down the river and hide by water after entering the river. I will arrange people in advance to kill their supporting troops first. Pretend to be their men and wait for the robbers to send Xie Yonglin to my boat. At the same time, I will also arrange some elite soldiers in the water. If they fail to hijack them successfully, they will be kidnapped from the water again to act as the robbers’ companions. The party, after arresting people, also arranged for a group of people to escape along this waterway, and another group of people to take this road and transfer to the foot of Huguo Temple Mountain."

"Well, I hope they succeed right away."

After listening, Ning Heng said with a smile.From that official road to the Huguo Temple, the water route is the shortest way, but the land route has to be detoured. It will save a lot of effort when they successfully hijack people and send them to the boat before transferring them.

Zhu Dingbei smiled, and said: "Master Huiqing has not yet left Beijing this year after receiving His Majesty's invitation, and then I will entrust you, Lord Changxin, to take care of it and ask the eminent monk to leave me a room. Jing left a lot of messages about my marriage, and my grandmother will definitely take me to Huguo Temple to ask the master to ask the Buddha if I can have the fate of in-laws. Cough cough, when the time comes, you just ask the master to speak more seriously. Well, it's fulfilling your wish to let others know the position of Mrs. Zhenbeihou's position, and secondly, to let others know that it's the Buddha who opened my mouth to let go of my marriage with Miss Liu, so don't hurt her reputation for nothing. "

Ning Heng was naturally happy when he heard that, but he still suppressed a smile and glanced at him: "You are thinking of her."

Zhu Dingbei laughed loudly, "When will you stop being so awkward. However, I'm a big man who doesn't have a good reputation, so it doesn't matter. She's a girl who wants to find her husband's family, so she can't be delayed because of this misunderstanding. What's more, Lord Changxin is so forgetful. She is not only Liu Zuoxiang's daughter, but also Qin Xi's cousin. If you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face. If Qin Xi knows that I bullied her, she will return Don't you get angry with me?"

Ning Heng muttered: "That idiot wishes he could become brother-in-law with you."

Zhu Dingbei laughed, and he didn't want to argue with him any more. The two of them confirmed the details of the plan to intercept Xie Yonglin.

Not long after he finished speaking, the old Hou asked Zhu San to invite someone. It turned out that the fine wine had been delivered, and the old man could not wait for lunch. He wanted the two of them to have a drink together, and they naturally accompanied him.

So it came to the second day, evening.

In Zhengyang Palace, Emperor Zhenyuan finished his government affairs and went back to his bedroom to have dinner with Gu Chao'an as usual.Today, Emperor Zhenyuan specially prepared some tribute wine to add to the fun. Gu Chaoan had been drinking wine all year round in the army of the northern border for many years. .He was not in such a good mood as Emperor Zhenyuan, so he just ate a little casually and didn't drink a sip of wine.

"Zixi, how can you eat such a small amount? If you don't like it, I'll ask the imperial dining room to prepare another table."

Emperor Zhenyuan discussed that Gu Chaoan was too lazy to look at his face, and he was too lazy to watch him toss, so he picked up the chopsticks again, and put them into his mouth one by one.Although they were all vegetarian dishes, the emperor was also happy to see them.

After the meal, without waiting for him to say anything, the eunuch Dongsheng stepped in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Li Dashen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, asked to see him, and said that the errand you assigned has already begun."

Emperor Zhenyuan frowned and said: "It's not urgent, you ask him to come back tomorrow."

Mrs. Dongsheng heard that he was already unhappy, so she responded and wanted to leave.

Gu Chao'an said: "Dongsheng, go to the Queen's Palace and order me a bowl of lotus seed duck soup. I want to drink it now."

Emperor Zhenyuan immediately said happily to Eunuch Dongsheng: "Hurry up!"

Eunuch Dongsheng let out a happy "Hey", before the words landed, Gu Chaoan said coldly: "You go too, I can't drink anything when you are here."

Emperor Zhenyuan's smile faltered, but he said with a good temper: "Then I will go to the study to deal with some things, and I will come back after you finish eating."

Gu Chao'an didn't answer, turned around and walked towards the palace.It wasn't until he closed the palace door and sat on the dragon bed that he let out a long breath, thinking to himself: It's tonight.
