Volume 10 Chapter 150

Dong Shengli ignored Zhang Rong and said meaningfully to Shao Fang: "Your Majesty, my humble ministers could sincerely help the King achieve his great cause, how can he harm the King now? Although the current situation in our country is not at a critical level, But we are not optimistic either. Xishan County is extremely important to our country and there must be no chaos. The king must not make a hasty decision before figuring out the truth of the matter."

The old man's heartfelt words made Shao Fang calm down a lot, and the latter who had stood up slowly sat down again, frowning, and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing that things seemed to be turning around, Dong Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since Master Han and Master Yuan are both in Xishan County now, why not send a letter to the two adults and ask for the truth before making a decision?"

Zhang Rong took a breath. If he asked clearly, he might not be able to find a reason to impeach Shao Yu. He immediately stood up to object and said loudly: "Shao Yu's treason has become a fact. Why bother asking Han and Yuan again? I think Prime Minister Dong is deliberately delaying time!"

Dong Sheng glared at Zhang Rong and said through gritted teeth: "You sycophant and traitor, don't even think about messing with me, don't Chao Gang!"

Zhang Rong's old face turned red and he was about to speak. At this time, Shao Fang waved his hand, looked at Dong Sheng, then at Zhang Rong, rolled his eyes, and said calmly: "That's fine, Fei Ge will send a letter to Xishan County, and I will go there again." It won’t take a few days, so let’s do what Mr. Dong wants for now!”

"But the king..."

Shao Fang waved his hand and said: "Stop talking. Mr. Dong, I will trust you this time, and I hope you will not disappoint me!"

No matter how much Shao Fang disliked Dong Sheng, Dong Sheng was on his side when he was in the most critical moment, and he was able to obtain the throne. Dong Sheng took the greatest credit. In Shao Fang's heart, Dong Sheng was still Occupying a very important position, otherwise, Dong Sheng would have contradicted him again and again, and with Shao Fang's character, he would have been killed long ago.

Seeing that Shao Fang finally accepted Dong Sheng's advice, Zhang Rong was heartbroken. In fact, he knew very well that if Shao Yu really turned against Feng Guo, Han Zhong and Yuan Tian would definitely send a letter to the court as soon as possible to tell the truth. But now the court There was no communication from the two of them at all, indicating that Shao Yu's defection was just a rumor.

It didn't matter that he couldn't remove Shao Yu from his official position. It was a pity that the nine thousand taels of gold that Feng Guo Xizuo had promised him were also wasted. This was what made Zhang Rong sigh the most. He looked at Dong Sheng with hatred to the roots of his teeth. They were all itchy, and their fists were clenched tightly.

The flying pigeon biography written by Shao Fang soon reached the hands of Han Zhong in Fengyang. After Han Zhong read Shao Fang's autographed letter, his mind suddenly changed. In fact, he couldn't tell whether Shao Yu had defected to Feng Guo. In fact, he couldn't tell. Everyone in Xishan County was Shao Yu's confidant, and he was not allowed to discuss matters at all. Han Zhong didn't know what Shao Yu was thinking, but he was certain of one thing, that is, Shao Yu's loyalty to the court was not reliable, and he also had flattery towards Feng Guo, otherwise he wouldn't Will entertain Shao Jun and Cai Gui with delicious food and drinks every day, especially Cai Gui is an official of Feng State.

It can be said that in Han Zhong's subconscious mind, he had already regarded Shao Yu as a criminal who might commit treason at any time.

It would be fine if he didn't receive the letter from the king. Now that the king took the initiative to ask, he felt that he didn't need to be polite anymore.

There was nothing nice to say in his reply to Shao Fang. Shao Yu was disloyal and unjust, begging for mercy in front of the traitor Shao Jun and the wind thief Cai Gui, and his relationship with Feng Jun was ambiguous.

On the matter of receiving and replying to the letter, Han Zhong did not discuss it with Yuan Tian, ​​and did not even mention it. It was not that he did not trust Yuan Tian, ​​but that he felt that Yuan Tian was not courageous and was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. , because we are now in Shao Yu's territory, we have to be humble and retreat at all times, letting him know about the king's message, for fear that it will delay the important event.

Han Zhong's self-proclaimed reply was tantamount to directly convicting Shao Yu of treason. This reply was sent to Zhenjiang. After Shao Fang read it, he became furious. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he kicked over the table. He took Han Zhong's reply and walked directly to Dong Sheng. , threw the letter hard on Dong Sheng's face, and roared: "Dong Sheng, do you still dare to say that Shao Yuwei is treason now?"

Dong Sheng was full of surprise. He picked up the letter tremblingly and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he was dumbfounded. The words of others may not be credible, but Han Zhong's words cannot be disbelieved. Han Zhong was a typical nerd, and he was very interested in Shao Fang and the court. His loyalty is unquestionable, and his temper is stubborn and hard. If it were not for his original intention, he would not be able to write such a letter even if he was beaten to death.

Could it be that Shao Yu really switched sides to Feng Country at this critical moment? But that's not right. If Shao Yu really committed treason, why didn't Han Zhong send a letter explaining the matter as soon as possible? Why do you have to wait until the king asks before explaining? What's going on here?

Dong Sheng, who was so experienced and shrewd, was also confused by Han Zhong's reply.

Although Zhang Rong didn't know what was going on, he would not miss such an opportunity. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have long said that Shao Yu has committed treason, but Prime Minister Dong misled your Majesty and delayed your time. Your Majesty, Without further delay, while Master Han and Master Yuan are in Fengyang, we should quickly remove Shao Yu from his official position. If there is a chance, we can also ask the two adults to capture Shao Yu directly and escort him to Zhenjiang, where he will be handed over to the king!"

"Yes!" Shao Fang nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhang Aiqing is right. He immediately sent a letter to Han Zhong and Yuan Tian, ​​asking them to find an opportunity to capture Shao Yu. It would be best if he could survive. If there is no chance, he will You can also kill him. Once the job is done, I will give you a huge reward!"

It’s over! After Dong Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although Xishan County is located in the northwest, there are 200,000 troops in the county. The existence of these 200,000 elite troops is always a hidden danger to Feng Kingdom. , there will always be worries. Now that the king wants to kill Shao Yu, it is equivalent to giving all the 200,000 elites to the Feng Kingdom. There will be no heavy troops in the north that can compete with the Feng Army.

"Your Majesty, Shao Yu cannot be captured, let alone killed..." Dong Sheng murmured.

"Shut up!" It was better not to listen to Dong Sheng's words. When he heard that he still said that he could not touch Shao Yu, Shao Fang became very angry. He pointed at Dong Sheng and held it in for a long time before he cursed three words: "Old man——"

"Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you above the court anymore!"

This was the second time that Shao Fang expelled Dong Sheng from the court in public, and at this time Dong Sheng was really frustrated.

For such a result, the happiest person is Zhang Rong.

After the dynasty was dismissed, he quickly drove back to his mansion, found Liang Ren who was detained in his mansion, and then told him everything about Shao Fang's intention to capture Shao Yu.

Liang Ren was very happy after hearing this, and immediately wrote a letter and asked Zhang Rong to send his servants to take the letter to find Liu Yang in a famous tavern in the city. Liu Yang would naturally send the golden ticket after reading the letter.

Zhang Rong followed Liang Ren's instructions and sent his confidant to the tavern. He didn't need the servant to look for Liu Yang. The latter took the initiative to find him. After reading the letter the servant brought, he nodded repeatedly and asked someone to fetch a wooden box. He was very happy. He followed his servant to Zhang Mansion.

After Liu Yang saw Zhang Rong, he handed the wooden box to him. The latter opened it and saw that there were gold tickets worth one hundred taels of gold, no more, no less, exactly ninety. Zhang Rong was satisfied and wanted to send Liang Ren and Liu Yang away, but Liang Ren refused to leave and continued to live in Zhang Rong's house.

Hearing this, Zhang Rong frowned and said coldly: "I have already told you that I will cooperate with you this time. What do you mean by staying with me and not leaving?"

Liang Ren said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, no one will think that he has too much money, right? As long as Mr. Zhang is willing to continue to cooperate with us, I can guarantee that we can bring more gold and silver jewelry to Mr. Zhang. Not only is it enough for Mr. Zhang? The adults will have good food and clothing throughout their lives, and even their descendants will be able to live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.”

Zhang Rong's brows were so furrowed that they were about to turn into knots, but he did not refuse directly.

Liang Ren continued with a smile: "Besides, Mr. Zhang doesn't want the news about our cooperation to get out, right? If the news reaches the ears of His Highness King Mo, not only will Mr. Zhang lose his own head, but also Even my family may be implicated!”

Zhang Rong was furious, grabbed Liang Ren by the collar, and said angrily: "Are you threatening me?"

"Haha, the villain is just a commoner, how dare he threaten you, Mr. Zhang? The villain has a life to die, but Mr. Zhang is a precious person, so he won't be able to see the same things as the villain, right?"

Zhang Rong held Liang Ren for a long time, and finally slowly let go of his clothes. Even if Liang Ren and Liu Yang are killed now, it will be useless. Feng Guo's spy in Zhenjiang cannot be just the two of them. There are many accomplices behind it. Once the matter spreads, the consequences will be really unimaginable!

Liang Ren adjusted his clothes nonchalantly and said, "Since Mr. Zhang can cooperate with us once, why should he care about working with us a second time? Besides, our cooperation will benefit everyone, and Mr. Zhang will not suffer any loss. Well!"

Zhang Rong gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Liang Ren shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know yet, but if my master really wants to ask for something, he will definitely let Mr. Zhang know as soon as possible."

The anger in Zhang Rong's heart gradually turned into helplessness, and his originally stiff body slowly softened. One wrong step and every step is wrong. With two countries at odds with each other, how could they easily give up on a high-ranking ‘big fish’ like Zhang Rong?

The imperial court of the Mo Kingdom has not yet sent out the secret order to capture Shao Yu, so the information from the Feng Kingdom's Sky Eye and the Earthly Network has to be sent out first.

After Tang Yin, who was in the wind army, received the news from Tianyan and Diwang, he was overjoyed. He couldn't help but smile up to the sky and sighed repeatedly: "A great thing has happened!"

The generals of the Feng Army didn't understand what was going on, and asked one after another: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Read it for yourselves?" Tang Yin handed the note to everyone. The generals saw it and were all happy. They all said: "Mo State wants to change the head of Xishan County? This is great. Taking advantage of the turmoil in Xishan County, our army can launch a large-scale attack and defeat the enemy with one blow!"

Tang Yin shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "There is no need to attack forcefully now, we can just wait for Shao Yu to surrender!
