Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 67: Secret letter

Ren Yao expects to ponder outside the window.

After the rain, the air was still very humid, and a swallow flew out from somewhere, passing low in the yard, and then suddenly fell to the ground, making a few small calls.

Li Tianyou staggered out from there, walked with his hands on his back to the place where the swallow fell, and squatted down, and then poke the poor bird that keeps on jumping but can't fly with the finger of his right hand, while tilting his head around. Looking for something, when he saw under the eaves, he caught the swallow in his hand.

"Dongsheng, are there any ladders in this yard! A stupid bird fell out of the nest." Li Tianyou's pleasant voice sounded in the yard.

Dongsheng pleaded guilty to Ren Yaoqi, hurriedly ran out and walked to Li Tianyou and whispered back.

Li Tianyou handed the thumping little guy to Dongsheng, and waved his hand: "Then you put it back."

Dongsheng lowered his head and took it carefully, and ran back.

Ren Yaoqi saw Li Tianyou standing in the middle of the yard with his hands behind his back, directing blindly, his brows were flying.

After a while, Dongsheng came back with a coarse cloth kerchief in his hand that had just been wiped.

Under the eaves outside, Ren Yaohua and Li Tianyou were arguing about something. It was very lively.

"Who is intercepting the imperial secret letter?" Ren Yaoqi asked softly.

Baiyun Temple is located between Baihe Town and Yunyang City, just near the official road that must pass from the north to the south.

Li Tianyoufu stood next to Ren Yaoqi again and bowed his head and said: "I haven't seen the fighting process, so I can't make judgments. But that letter is about cutting Jianyan's northern army's salary."

Ren Yaoqi was surprised when he heard this.

Related to Yanbei Palace?

Although the Yanbei Army was nominally the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in fact they were the direct army of the Yanbei King, which can also be said to be the "Xiao Family Army."

Ren Yaoqi once heard from Mr. Pei that most of Yanbei’s taxes had to be turned over to the court, but the Yanbei Army’s royal court only paid a very small part each year. In fact, most of the military payments were borne by the Yanbei Palace.

She remembered that there had been an army mutiny in Yanbei. At that time, some soldiers from the lower ranks of the Yanbei army were dissatisfied with the reduction of the royal government's salary, so they drove into the city to rob the wealthy shops and caused riots.

In the end, someone played an impeachment saying that the Yanbei Army was too large and there were too many young monks in the temple. This was the root cause of the turmoil and asked the Yanbei Army to reduce its troops.

Soon afterwards, there was a border dispute among small-scale party clan in Ningxia for grabbing a horse farm with rich pasture resources. The Yanbei Palace was requested by Wu Xiaohe, the Ningxia commander in chief, to dispatch the Yanbei Army into Ningxia to help Wu Xiao pacify the chaos. In the next few years, that part of the Yanbei Army was stationed in Ningxia, and the court's plan to reduce the Yanbei Army was lost.

However, Wu Xiaohe, the general soldier of Ningxia at that time, was the son-in-law of King Yanbei, so many people believed that the Yanbei Army's entry into Ningxia was actually a strategy used by the Yanbei King to divert the court's attention in order to preserve the Yanbei army.

It is a pity that three years later, Ningxia General Soldier Wu Xiaohe died, and the court sent Zeng Tan to draw his salary.

At that time, Zeng Tan was still unknown, and Yan Bei also believed that he was only awarded this post by the nepotism between his family's Xichang Houfu and the empress dowager’s family Yan family. He only focused on the supervising army who served with Zeng Tan. Lu Dexin body.

But in the end, Zeng Tan's performance was far beyond everyone's expectations. Wu Xiaohe's army was absorbed by him for most of the time, and he caught the Yanbei Palace by surprise.

The rise of Zeng Tong was the beginning of the Ren family disaster.

Ren Yaoqi looked down slightly at this thought.

Since she woke up, she had been thinking about how to change the ending of her previous life.

But the temple is too far away from her. If following the original track, Zeng Tan would still be sent to Yanbei as a chess piece for the court to fight against the Yanbei Palace. With Zeng Tan's ability, the Ren family would still want to flatter him.

Thinking of this, she always had nightmares.

In this life, even if she doesn't want to avenge her first life, what if her enemy still comes to her door? She is a boudoir girl, and all she can do is block the car with her praying arms. It's hard to say how it will end.

She can't remember the exact time when the previous imperial court planned to reduce the Yanbei Army, and it would be almost the past two years. The secret letter that Dongsheng said was probably the precursor of this matter.

How can Zeng Tong be prevented from being appointed as the Ningxia General Soldier, or how can Zeng Tong be named as Ningxia General Soldier?

Ren Yaoqi's heart was pounding.

"Miss Biao?" Dongsheng whispered when he saw Ren Yaoqi's face looking bad.

Ren Yaoqi took a deep breath and calmed her heartbeat. She reminded herself not to be anxious and take her time. She didn't believe that she was living again just to repeat the mistakes of the previous life. There will always be a way.

"Miss Biao, the person who intercepted the secret report from the imperial court was probably sent by the Yanbei Royal Palace. The secret report mentioned that when the imperial court ordered a reduction in military pay, the person who received the letter would stir up troubles among the lower-level officers of the Yanbei Army. The second son of the palace is recuperating in a nearby villa, do you think he sent someone..." Dongsheng whispered.

Ren Yaoqi raised his head and frowned upon hearing this: "You are talking about Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Yanbei Palace? Is he near the Bailong Temple?"

Dongsheng nodded.

Ren Yaoqi suddenly remembered the man he met in front of the Dragon King Hall of Bailong Temple. She and Parsley mistook him for the nuns the women were looking for.

However, Ren Yaoqi later had some doubts about his identity. Judging from his demeanor and demeanor, he didn't seem to be a person in front of him. Especially when he gave her that string of gold, stone and wood beads, she became more hesitant.

She had also seen good things. That string of beads was definitely a rare treasure, but he gave it to her casually, just to repay her for a small favor.

Later Li Tianyou appeared, and Li Tianyou admitted that he was the friend of the nun who was being chased. Then who was that man?

Why would he want to avoid those women?

He also wore white clothes. Was he once mistaken for Li Tianyou by those who chased Dongsheng? And what was he doing near the Bailong Temple? Also broke his sleeve?

Thinking of the appearance of the legendary second son of the Yanbei Palace, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but suspect that he was Xiao Jingxi. But he was the one who sent someone to intercept the court messenger?

Thinking this way, for some reason, Ren Yaoqi still shook his head based on his instinct: "I heard that the second master of the Yanbei Palace is brilliant and amazing. Even if he wants to stop the secret report from the court, Will use this extreme method. For such a major matter, the messenger sent by the court to Yanbei should be more than this way. How can Xiao Jingxi stop this messenger? The letter will eventually be sent to this one. The person who delivered it to the Yanbei Palace was horrified."

What Ren Yaoqi could think of, she didn't believe that Xiao Jingxi, who had been praised by Mr. Pei, could not think of it.

Dongsheng thought for a while, but had no idea: "Who would it be then?"

"I said it wasn't the second son of Xiao, and I didn't say it was not from the Yanbei Palace." Ren Yaoqi was not sure and authentic either, all this was just her guess.

She has too little information to judge. Besides, if the person she met was Xiao Jingxi, the timing of his appearance would be too coincidental.

Here, Ren Yaoqi and Dongsheng are speculating about the identity of the person who intercepted the imperial messenger and finally packed the body.

Someone over there is also tracing the whereabouts of this secret letter.

The young man who had put on a blue wide-sleeved gown also stood by the window, listening to the report from the man in black who was kneeling on one knee, and his jet-black eyes quietly watched the continuous rain outside the window gradually become thinner. , There seems to be an invisible mist in his eyes.

Raindrops dripped intermittently in the gaps between the roof tiles, tickly falling into a pair of old huāgang rock three-sided open lotus huā pattern fish tanks under the eaves, and the water in the fish tank overflowed.

The young man's low, dull voice sounded soothingly in the room, but his voice was not loud but it covered the sound of water dripping outside: "Send the corpse to Xiao Jingyue and ask him what to do. I just came to Bailong Temple to recuperate. "

The kneeling subordinate was taken aback, carefully raised his head and glanced at the master, and tentatively asked: "What if the third son denies that he is the one sent by him?"

Hearing this, the young man tilted his head and glanced at his subordinate with a smile, and said in surprise, "Can he deny it?"

The subordinate immediately lowered his head: "The subordinate understands. It's just that the letter that the third son wants to intercept is still in the hands of others. Should the subordinate send someone to..."

The boy retracted his gaze from the window, thought for a while, and asked quietly: "Are you sure that person is from the Li family?"

"Subordinates are sure that that person is the entourage of Li Tianyou, the first son of the former Xian Wang, and there was also a woman with him at the time, a lady from the Ren family in Baihe Town.

"Ren's family?" The boy's tone was still soothing and calm, but there was some thoughtfulness between his eyebrows, but for a moment he smiled and nodded, "I see, you go."

The black clothes are stunned, the master does not want to care?

But because of San Gongzi's person and method, I am afraid that many people will be implicated and lose their lives. Even the elder son of the Li family is afraid...
