Chapter 362

Unbiased and unbiased, following the King's righteousness was called Zunyi.

Zunyi was the center of Bozhou, with Dalou Mountain to the north and the Wu River to the south. It was the throat from Qian to Sichuan, the most important town in northern Qian, and also the base of Yang Yinglong.

Because Bozhou was closer to Sichuan, Yang Yinglong, as the King of Bozhou who owned more than one-fifth of the land in Guizhou, had a closer relationship with the officials in Sichuan. On the contrary, he seemed to have no contact with the officials in the court in Guizhou.

At this time, the scale of Chieftain Yang's residence was even larger than that of a vassal king's residence. It was the most spectacular. In the hall that was as magnificent as a palace, Yang Yinglong wore a white Taoist robe and reclined on a Luohan couch that looked like a dragon bed.

Yang Yinglong's eyes were slightly closed and he was listening to his subordinates reporting to him. Beside him, there were two young maids with cicada-like hair and moth-like eyebrows and pretty dimples that were like flowers gently massaging his legs.

This place was called a hall, but it was actually a palace. It was very tall and had a large pillar. However, to avoid suspicion, the lintel of the door was not hung with the name of a certain palace or a certain hall. There was a black and gold plaque with the words "Jiede Hall" written on it.

A person dressed like a scholar in a green robe was reporting to him, "Ye Xiaotian's action of angrily killing five sons of nobles angered Zhang Duo. So when the five nobles led their private troops to besiege the Criminal Court, Zhang Duo did not do anything. Unexpectedly, County Supervisor Yu appeared to stop them."

Yang Yinglong's eyelids trembled, but he still did not move. The scholar in a green robe continued, "Not long after, County Supervisor Yu deployed her troops to the side of Tongren and appeared at the government office with Ye Xiaotian. She claimed that Ye Xiaotian was under her protection, so Zhang Yi did not dare to attack again.

Unexpectedly, Gedore's troops came out of the mountains. Zhang Yi heard that the Mountain Miao people were barbaric and bloodthirsty, so he wanted to kill them with a borrowed knife. He ordered Ye Xiaotian to go to Tixi to deal with it. Unexpectedly, when Ye Xiaotian arrived at Tixi, he persuaded Gedore to secretly collude with Chieftain Guoji and conspired with County Supervisor Yu to trick Zhang Yi. They took away a large piece of the Zhang family's territory in Tixi … "

The green-robed man who looked like a scholar was one of Yang Yinglong's chieftains. His name was Chen Xiao, and he was originally a housekeeper. After Zhao Wenyuan's father died, he was promoted and became Yang Yinglong's "premier" of the Bozhou Comfort Division, or Great Amu.

As for the young man sitting next to him, that was Zhao Wenyuan. Zhao Wenyuan forged his father's will and returned to Bozhou to fight for the family's property. With Yang Yinglong's shrewdness, he might not really believe his forged will.

However, supporting Zhao Wenyuan to obtain the family's rich territory would weaken the power of the Zhao family's patriarch. This would help him better control the Zhao family. Yang Yinglong certainly approved of this "will".

With his support, the eldest son of the Zhao family did not dare to oppose. Zhao Wenyuan successfully obtained a large share of the family's property and thus became a loyal follower of Yang Yinglong.

However, with Zhao Wenyuan's status, it was not easy for him to see Yang Yinglong. This time, Yang Yinglong suddenly called him over. Zhao Wenyuan was really flattered and only hoped to leave a deep impression on Yang Yinglong. Therefore, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully while trying to figure out Yang Yinglong's intentions.

Chen Xiao spoke for a long time before he finished telling Yang Yinglong everything that had happened in Tongren so far. He spoke until his mouth was dry. Chen Xiao picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat. As a Mu, his status was similar to the Emperor's Grand Secretary. He had more freedom in his actions. Zhao Wenyuan, on the other hand, hadn't touched the cup of tea placed in front of him since the beginning.

Yang Yinglong rested on the Arhat couch with his chin in his hand. He closed his eyes lightly and did not move. Those who did not know would think that he was napping. Chen Xiao, of course, did not think so. He drank two mouthfuls of tea and put down the cup. He looked at Yang Yinglong and waited for him to ask.

After a while, Yang Yinglong still had his eyes closed. He asked leisurely, "When did Ye Xiaotian kill the five scions? I have written a secret letter to County Supervisor Yu. Check the register and see when it was. "

Chen Xiao did not know why Yang Yinglong would ask such a question. However, he still did as he was told. He called over a low-ranking official who was waiting a few feet away and whispered a few words to him. The low-ranking official immediately left the main hall quietly.

In less than half an hour, the low-ranking official returned to the main hall. He held his breath and moved closer to Chen Xiao. He whispered a few words into his ear. Chen Xiao waved his hand and waited for the low-ranking official to leave. Then, he bowed to Yang Yinglong and told him the time he had found the letter.

Yang Yinglong opened his eyes slowly and chuckled. "I knew it! So, when County Supervisor Yu stood up for Ye Xiaotian, my secret letter had not been delivered to Tongren? "

Chen Xiao calculated in his heart and said, "Yes. Judging from the speed of the journey, the letter should not have been delivered at that time."

Yang Yinglong sat up lazily. The two maids quickly knelt down and took two soft shoes made of cattail grass. They put them on for him and kowtowed again. Then, they quietly retreated to the two ends of the Arhat couch.

Yang Yinglong said, "Yes. At that time, County Supervisor Yu was also the prefectural regent. She had always wanted to make things difficult for Zhang Yi. She should have helped Ye Xiaotian out of the situation. However, if I'm not wrong, she only wanted to save Ye Xiaotian and embarrass Zhang Yi. She did not want to do everything to support Ye Xiaotian and protect his official position.

This point can be seen from the fact that after she rescued Ye Xiaotian, she did not hesitate to burn down Dabei Temple to create Ye Xiaotian's strange disappearance. If she did not want Ye Xiaotian to really disappear, she did not have to play the trick of disappearing. As long as she sent people to protect his life, it would be equivalent to her family's troops arriving and bringing him back to the magistrate's office.

Judging from the time, my letter was sent after Ye Xiaotian 'disappeared'. County Supervisor Yu read my letter and found out about Ye Xiaotian's real identity. He felt that he was a rare commodity and changed his mind! Heh, he also betrayed me! "

As a big Amu, Chen Xiao's intelligence was naturally extraordinary. He understood halfway through Yang Yinglong's words. However, although Yu Junting and Yang Yinglong did not have an official marriage contract, who were the two of them? A verbal agreement during a secret meeting was no less effective than an officially recognized marriage contract.

Although it was more appropriate to say that their marriage contract was an alliance agreement, it was still a marriage contract. Now, it was obvious that after the bride-to-be learned of Ye Xiaotian's true identity, she decisively dumped the poor Chieftain Yang like she was blowing her nose. At that moment, Yang Tianwang was wearing a clear green crown on his head …

This result … Chen Xiao had to act dumb even if he was not stupid. Of course, Zhao Wenyuan also understood the meaning of this paragraph, so he also smartly pretended to be dumb. Chen Mu turned his head to look at the confused Zhao Wenyuan and praised him in his heart, This kid is very perceptive. He can be trained!

"Hahahaha …"

Hearty laughter echoed in the hall. Yang Yinglong put his hands behind his back and started to walk happily. "Thinking back, I felt that this woman was able to pick up and let go. Women are not inferior to men! She is not as bashful and annoying as ordinary women. I was right about her! Only I, Yang Yinglong, am worthy of such a beautiful woman, haha … "

Chen Xiao and Zhao Wenyuan looked at each other in shock. No matter if Yu Junting betrayed him as a bride-to-be or as an ally, shouldn't the chieftain be ashamed and angry? However, looking at his expression and tone, it seemed that he admired the County Supervisor a lot.

County Supervisor Yu and Ye Xiaotian had probably done such shameless things countless times. Although the chieftain liked women, he had never married an unchaste woman. Could it be that he did not care at all?

Yang Yinglong stood up and smiled wholeheartedly. "Giving birth to a seedling and secretly forming an alliance with the Yu family. Ye Xiaotian hid his identity as the Venerable and wanted to become a chieftain. Haha … good, good!

I had originally intended to have Gedefa do these things, but unfortunately, that piece of trash died too early, wasting all of my efforts. I didn't think that Ye Xiaotian would do it for me without me worrying. And he did it very well … "

Yang Yinglong turned around and sat down on the Luohan couch. He said excitedly, "He wants to be a chieftain. Good! I have to help him with this. Chen Xiao, use our connections to help him in the imperial court. We must make sure that he becomes a Chieftain … "

Just as Yang Yinglong said this, a green-robed petty official suddenly walked into the hall. Yang Yinglong frowned when he saw him, but he didn't say anything. Without his permission, his subordinates didn't dare to step into the hall unless there was something very important that he needed to know immediately.

The green-robed petty official walked in front of Yang Yinglong and bowed. He said respectfully, "Chieftain, there's news from Shuixi."

"Speak!"

"Yes! Recently, there was a gathering of the nobles in Shuixi. Old Master An also attended. During the gathering, they talked about the situation in Tongren. Old Master An said … he approved of Tongren electing Ye Xiaotian as a chieftain. "

"Oh?" Yang Yinglong frowned slightly. He stroked his beard and thought for a while. He said in a deep voice, "That damn old man actually likes Ye Xiaotian? He also approved of Ye Xiaotian becoming a chieftain? Heh! Heh heh! "

Yang Yinglong sneered and said to Sun Xiao, "There's a change of plans. Use our connections to oppose Ye Xiaotian and drag him down! However, if you want to challenge Grandpa An, you can only lose, not win! "

Chen Xiao said tentatively, "Chieftain, you mean …"

Yang Yinglong said with a smile, "He's an old man after all. I still have to give him some face."

Even though Chen Xiao was a wily old fox, he couldn't guess what Yang Yinglong was planning. He could only agree. Yang Yinglong turned to Zhao Wenyuan and said, "You've worked with Ye Xiaotian for many years in Hulu County. How's your relationship?"

Zhao Wenyuan hurriedly stood up and said, "This subordinate and Ye Xiaotian used to … used to have a good relationship. However, my father and Miss Qian met with an accident on the mountain where the Ye Clan lived. This subordinate didn't feel good about it. In addition, this subordinate returned to Bozhou to take up work. So … so we don't have much contact."

Yang Yinglong knew that his words were not entirely true, but he didn't expose him. He only smiled and said, "It's fine. It doesn't matter whether you're close or distant. What's important is that you've known him for so long. You should know his temperament very well, right? "

Zhao Wenyuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes! This subordinate understands his temperament and temperament quite well. "

Yang Yinglong smiled and said, "Very good. In that case, you can stay in the Comfort Department for the next two days. Tell me everything you know about him in detail!"

He actually had the opportunity to have such intimate contact with Yang Tian Wang?

Zhao Wenyuan felt as if his bones had become lighter. He hurriedly bowed to the ground and said joyfully, "This subordinate obeys!"
