Chapter 602

At noon, Gao Jiancheng went out of the palace and went home for lunch.

As soon as he got out of the carriage and entered the house, he didn't want to eat. He went straight to the study. The housekeeper fan Zhuan didn't ask for help, but followed him to the study.

Gao Jiancheng was calm on the surface, anxious inside and thirsty. He didn't know how much tea he had filled this morning. He was still thirsty at this time.

After he moistened his mouth, fan zhuanfang, with a worried face, asked, "Sir, what's the situation?"

Gao Jiancheng put down the tea, "the heads of Feihua Pavilion and Zhenling courtyard were hung on the head of Qingshan county. The situation in Nanzhou is a little bad. Hearing the news, the emperor of Shang Dynasty seems to be gathering people and horses to Dingzhou."

"Ah! Can the emperor of Shang Dynasty have such courage to attack Dingzhou?" fan Zhuan was surprised.

Gao Jiancheng: "what's so bold? He hasn't swallowed Nanzhou yet. It's reasonable to say he doesn't dare, but Tong Mo is already arranging people to re count the money and food of soldiers and horses in the state capital controlled by the imperial court, and instructed the following Yamen to save money. It can be seen that he is preparing for just in case."

Fan Zhuan was a little suspicious. "Just because he attacked the Maolu villa, Niu Youdao was going to make a riot. Can the three factions sit idly by?"

"A small cottage villa could defeat such a powerful attack that even Zong Yuan was killed. It was clearly a precaution. It had been predicted long ago, but Niu Youdao didn't warn the three factions. He would rather take risks. Think about the killing of the envoy of song, which led to the oppression of the army of the state of song... Lao Fan, I don't dare think about it. I'm very afraid!" Gao Jiancheng tapped the table gently, "It's been planned for a long time. Dingzhou is doomed!"

Fan Zhuan was thoughtful and immediately worried: "what should I do? Once Nanzhou tears his face, will it make me feel better?"

Gao Jiancheng youyou sighed, "it doesn't matter whether the evil son lives or dies, but the Gao family is full of children and grandchildren. I'm afraid he will be implicated in the lives of more than 100 people up and down. It seems that there is still a glimmer of hope in the current situation."

Seeing his strange eyes, he seemed to have made some plans. Fan Zhuan hurriedly said, "Sir, what plans should be made sooner rather than later!"

Gao Jian's idiom is low: "if the emperor of Shang Dynasty doesn't send troops, the court will never admit that Shaoming was sent by the court. This is a glimmer of hope!"

Fan Zhuan wondered, "what's the hope? The master himself said. Niu Youdao holds a man in his hand. I'm afraid he won't give up!"

"So we should stop Niu Youdao from making a fuss about Shaoming!" Gao Jiancheng gently pressed the table. "The imperial court doesn't admit that it sent Shaoming to attack Maolu villa. Niu Youdao should think Shaoming doesn't exist. What will happen?"

Fan Zhuan suddenly realized and understood, "in this way, the imperial court will not lift a stone to hit his own feet, will suppress the imperial people from investigating the whereabouts of the master, and will not involve the master. The crisis of the Gao family is over! But..." he looked embarrassed. "How can Niu Youdao be at our mercy?"

Gao Jian Cheng Leng hum, "doesn't he want money? Just give it to him! Compared with the life and death and future of more than 100 people in the Gao family, that money is nothing. As long as we can keep what we have, the money will come back naturally in the future."

Fan Zhuan was immediately confused. "Sir, you said that Niu Youdao would make everyone know even if he took the money? What's more, Niu Youdao asked for a hundred million gold coins! Where to get the money from Gao Fu's family? If you really want to make a big deal, it's impossible to cover it up."

Gao Jiancheng: "who said to give him a hundred million? Where can I give him a hundred million? Can you take it out by calculating ten million?"

Fan Zhuan was puzzled. "Ten million can be put together, but one hundred million becomes ten million. Is the difference too big? Can Niu Youdao relax?"

Gao Jiancheng asked in a low voice, "how much is the country of Yan worth?"

"..." fan Zhuan was stunned, uncertain and ready to speak.

Gao Jiancheng got up, went to him and said in a low voice, "everyone knows the ambition of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty. This plot proves this more and more. I have a high position in the imperial court and have operated in the state of Yan for many years. There are many students and old officials everywhere. If I were willing to help, it would be comparable to their ambition. How would they choose?"

Fan Zhuan understood his intention and naturally understood what it meant. He took a breath.

Knowing what he was thinking, Gao Jiancheng waved his hand and said: "Up to now, our Gao family has no way out. We all know who is in the court. We are all jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards. If I break down, break the wall, push people, break the drum and beat people, and don't want to trample me to death, even those cats and dogs will dare to act recklessly against you. How can you let me watch the Gao family become worse than pigs and dogs? Then I will be more unlucky My high family, all the students and old officials attached to me have to finish! "

Fan Zhuan said in a trembling voice, "master, this is..." some words he can't say, but he had to remind, "once the matter is exposed, there will be no future!"

Gao Jiancheng said, "if I don't act, I'll be doomed. I know Shang Jianxiong very well. Although he has the heart of being a powerful country, he is not a responsible person and can't accommodate Zhengchen officials. Therefore, the court is full of people who flatter without doing anything about state affairs. It's a wise saying that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. The state of Yan is now full of chaos, which is caused by the rampant demons in the court."

He raised his hand and patted fan Zhuan on the shoulder. "He won't have any responsibility for my Gao family. I can foresee that my son will work for him, but my Gao family will end up breaking down their families and killing people. How can I be reconciled to those jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards? Since he was unkind and unjust first, don't blame me for my infidelity!"

Fan Zhuan reddened his eyes and nodded, "I see, the old slave knows, but the imperial court is still powerful after all!" to remind him of the consequences of doing so.

Gao Jiancheng: "So I can't pretend to be someone else's hand. You can only go to see Niu Youdao in person and never leak any news. I asked you to take 10 million to go there. It's not a ransom, but just to represent my sincerity and stabilize him for me. As long as you clarify your intention for me, he will take Shaoming as a hostage and save Shaoming's life. I just want Niu Youdao to give me an explanation and let the court know Shaoming is dead! It's not difficult for him, but it's related to the life and death, honor and disgrace of everyone in my high family! "

Fan Zhuan understood and understood everything. At this point, how can he not understand? He nodded with tears in his eyes.

Gao Jiancheng took his arm. "Lao Fan, it's not too late. You must go to Qingshan county to see Niu Youdao as soon as possible. You must press Niu Youdao before Niu Youdao takes Shaoming as an article. The misfortunes, blessings, honors and Disgraces of the Gao family are all pinned on your trip!"

Fan Zhuan: "I understand, but the road is long. I'm afraid it's too late..."

Gao Jiancheng raised his hand and stopped. "You don't have to worry about this. Prince long is in charge of the affairs of the Shang royal family. There is a large manned bird matched by the imperial court over there. The royal family, the scope of my power and responsibility supervision, and I don't know how much I've put down for the children of the Shang royal family over the years. Prince long won't even give me this face."

Fan Zhizhi was a little embarrassed: "the old slave is old. He can't bear to fly around in the sky and can't control it. It's confidential. It's inappropriate to be escorted by friars."

"Let the friar escort you and arrange someone afterwards..." Gao Jiancheng raised a finger and made a move to wipe his neck and kill people.

……

Outside Dingzhou governor's residence, there was a constant sound of horses' hoofs galloping to a stop, and generals rushed one after another after receiving orders.

When the personnel arrived almost, Xue Xiao hurriedly issued a military order to dispatch troops and generals.

When the generals took orders one after another, two groups of friars came together and ran into the door of the assassin's house.

The two groups of friars are the two sects in Dingzhou, namely Tianhua cave and Xianyun sect.

However, it is almost impossible for one faction to dominate the territory controlled by the imperial court. First, they are worried that it is difficult to control and need checks and balances. Second, the senior members of the imperial court want to win one or two for the sects they are attracted to. Therefore, the coexistence of the two sects is the least. Some state capitals and even several sects coexist.

And those sects are also waiting to grow slowly and be able to sit on one side like tianyumen and Dachen mountain.

"Brother Wan is here too."

The two leaders met in front of the door. Gaihuan, the leader of Tianhua cave, said hello first.

Wan Qingyan, the leader of Xianyun sect, said in a deep voice, "can't you come?" he waved his hand to invite him.

The two led people into the hall of political affairs, and saw Xue Xiao with a black face.

There was no polite mood. As soon as we met, Wan Qingyan asked, "master Zhou, I heard that the Nanzhou army attacked Dingzhou because your men killed the people of the Shang Dynasty, robbed the money of the Shang Dynasty, and robbed the women of the Shang Dynasty. Is this the case?"

Xue Xiao twitched his cheeks and handed them a piece of information. He said in a deep voice, "do brother Wan and brother Gai believe this nonsense? This is the news from the border guard general. As soon as the robbery happened, the people and horses of Nanzhou directly came in. With such tacit understanding, it is clear that the emperor of Shang Dynasty has planned to provoke for a long time!"

After reading the information, Wan Qingyan said with a sullen face, "it doesn't make any sense to say this now. The key to the problem is, did your people rob the women of the emperor of Shang Dynasty, and did your people provoke first?" he shook the paper in his hand, "Now people have stolen goods and got them. They have iron evidence. Even your own people admit it. You can't rely on it. Can you explain clearly? They didn't force you. They just passed by. It was your people who pretended to be robbers who took the initiative to rob. You have no way to discipline yourself. Why do you say it was a trap dug by people's family?"

Xue Xiaotie's face was green. "I've reported it to the imperial court. The imperial court knows whether Nanzhou provokes. Now it's useless to say this. You two came at the right time and are about to invite the two factions to resist the enemy with me!"

Gaihuan said in a voice, "how to fight? Many Dingzhou people and horses have been deployed to defend South Korea and the state of song. Many elite disciples of our two factions have gone with the army, and Dingzhou is empty. Can our two factions block the Dachen mountain, or can the men and horses under Lord Xue block the tiger and wolf division of the Shang Dynasty? There is no way to fight this battle!"

Xue Xiao, who was oppressed, finally broke out. "What do you two say? Sit back and don't resist? Can the imperial court spare me or your two families afterwards? For now, you have to fight if you don't fight or win!"

Bang! Wan Qingyan kicked the chair away to vent his anger.

Gaihuan stretched his cheek and said, "let the imperial court contact the three factions immediately and ask the three factions to stop!"

Xue Xiao spread his hands, "Do you need me to teach you about the current troop deployment of the state of Yan? As soon as the news spread here, the imperial court must find the three major factions. Maybe the intelligence department has reported the situation to me first. Now we can only support it. Even if we pay a huge price, we have to support the three factions to solve it. No one of us can afford to let the Zong army of the Shang Dynasty go straight in Responsibility! "
