Peerless Pirates

"Sir, can I light the candle for you now?" Wen'er held a piece of red wax and asked softly. The latest chapter of The Underworld Princess and the Silly Prince.

"Click on it." Song Zheng walked around the bookshelves, flipping through them casually.

The red candle was lit, and the room was suddenly full of shadows. This house can be regarded as the archives of Gyeonggi Yousi. The whole house is half a foot above the ground. There are windows in the front and back, but they are sealed tightly with felt cloth. There is a natural atmosphere in the house.

It's so dark that it's hard to tell unless a candle is lit.

After questioning, Song Zheng learned that this was to prevent moisture. Ventilation was only allowed for two hours at noon when the sun was scorching hot. During the rest of the time, both doors and windows were relatively closed.

As they were talking, Yuan Rong's call came from outside, "Wen'er!"

Wen'er stuck out her tongue towards Song Zheng and whispered, "Sir Song, I'm going back first. The lady called me." After that, she ran out with a blushing face.

Song Zheng walked to the door, closed it, and his expression became calm. He walked around the room and listened quietly for a while. After confirming that no one was watching, he walked to the corner and took out the paper ball from his sleeve.

This is exactly what Yuan Rong just threw to him, and he remained silent. After confirming that it was safe, he unfolded the paper and took a closer look. There were only four words on it, "Yong Xu Xiang Yin".

Yongxu Lane? Song Zheng recited it silently. He had an impression of this address. For a while, he wandered around Jiangning City when he had nothing to do. He walked almost all the streets and alleys, focusing on some places of interest. This Yongxu Lane was

Remember too.

The word "Yong Xu" comes from Xie Daoyun, a famous female poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who is known as a talent for chanting Xu. The location of Yong Xu Lane is said to be the location of the Xie family's mansion. Of course, the Xie family's mansion has long been destroyed and forgotten. Otherwise, Liu Yuxi would not have done it.

The poem "Black Clothes Alley": "In the old days, the king's swallows flew in front of the hall and flew into the homes of ordinary people."

When Song Zheng went to look for it that day, he discovered that it was just a narrow alley. It was surrounded by Anshi (named by Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty) Alley, Xiaoxie (from the poet Xie Tiao of the Guide to Chao Dynasty) Alley, and Dongshan (from Xie Tiao) Alley.

Allusions to Andong Shan’s Resurrection) Lane, etc., anyway, they are all with Xie

Although the name is good, the location is average. After Jiangning City moved south in the early years of the Qi Dynasty, the Yongxu Lane area has indeed become "ordinary people's homes" and is a civilian area. However, it is not too far from the Song Dynasty.

It's about four or five miles southeast of Song Mansion.

What does Yuan Rong mean by giving herself such an address? Where can we meet? Impossible. If we meet, there should be time. Something like "Moonlight above the willow branches, people make appointments after dusk" or something like that.

Is that a trap? It is somewhat possible, but Yuan Rong has helped him through Mu Yu, so she should not harm him in this way. If only Mu Yu was in Jiangning, Song Zheng couldn't help but sigh to himself.

Of course, the most likely possibility is that this address is very suspicious and has something to do with me. In any case, I can only go and investigate it in the evening.

As the candlelight flickered, Song Zheng gathered his thoughts and began to search for information about Huan Xing. Although Duan Ren told him that there was nothing special about Huan Xing's experience, Song Zheng still wanted to find some clues from him first.

As the former prefect of Taiping Prefecture, it is not difficult to find information about Huan Xing. Yuan Rong has already compiled it into a separate volume. This also shows that Yuan Rong is a very careful person and is very good at organizing materials. In this regard, Li

There is also a gap between matchmakers.

Song Zheng looked through the materials and couldn't help but frowned. Judging from the records, Huan Xing was considered a good official. For example, he was fair in judging cases, rescued orphans and elderly people in disaster years, and even led someone to catch a big thief.

A gang can be regarded as a combination of civil and military skills.

Achievements. As for what Duan Ren said about accepting bribes, there is a record on Dark Eagle's side, but it is just a rumor. It is said that there was a lawsuit between Tu, a poor man and a rich man, and the rich man won, so there was a dispute between the common people.

It is rumored that Huan Xing accepted a few bribes, that's all.

Is it because he can solve cases and knows some skills that he was transferred to Zuo Division to see the supervisor? Song Zheng shook his head. If it was just like this, it would not be his turn to join such an important department as Zuo Division. Zuo Division

He has the power to monitor all the Qi troops, and Jian Zheng also monitors Zuo Si, so his power is naturally very great.

If there is anything special about this material, it is that Huan Xing is too low-key. Except for work matters, he rarely appears in the public eye. For example, there are almost no records of him attending banquets, and only a few times he participated in field hunting.

Putting down the materials about Huanxing, Song Zheng began to search for other materials about Taiping Prefecture. These materials were very complicated, including Wuhu, Lishui and Dangtu counties under Taiping Prefecture. Naturally, Song Zheng could not look through them one by one. He just watched.

It's rough. The Dark Eagle's materials have two focuses, one involving military aspects, and the other involving their original opponents age:url(img

135174278467512602094-1263316686173561096.age:url(img135174278467512602094-1263316686173561096.png)'span Huangcheng Division, basically a separate volume. Are you big?

From these materials, Song Zheng saw two noteworthy names. One was Ge Zhao, the leader of the Taiping Prefecture garrison. When Song Zheng was taking the martial arts examination, Ge Zhao was one of the examiners. At that time, he actually asked him to introduce the lost "Qi Sun Tzu"

》, clearly thinking

It's difficult for Song Zheng. Ge Zhao is the general of the city guard. There are more than 100,000 city guards. Except for about 50,000 people stationed in the general barracks, the rest are scattered in various states in Gyeonggi Province. Ge Zhao is stationed there.

Tu was the leader of the city guard, with more than 10,000 men under his command.

Another important point is Ping Xizhi. Due to the conflict between Dark Eagle and Imperial City Secretary for several years, they both tried to collect information about each other. When Song Zheng was in Mizhou that day, Yang Tong collected information about Dark Eagle in Mizhou.

In Taiping Prefecture, Teng Hongcheng, the former commander of Dark Eagle (now Yousi), also focused on Ping Xi.

Judging from the materials, Ping Xizhi visited the Zhizhou Prefecture three times. As for whether he visited Huanxing, there is no record. Apparently, it was because the tentacles of the Dark Eagle had not yet penetrated deep into the Zhizhou Prefecture.

In comparison, Ge Zhao's records are much more active. He enjoyed hunting in the fields, enjoying banquets, and had many contacts with wealthy families and celebrities from all over Taiping Prefecture.

Song Zheng was slightly touched. He immediately looked back at Huanxing's records. Sure enough, in April of the seventh year of Zhengyuan, August of the ninth year of Zhengyuan, and May of the tenth year of Zhengyuan, he saw Huanxing's records of field hunting.

.And the dates of field hunting are surprisingly the same.

Huan Xing and Ge Zhao went hunting on the same day three times, why didn't they go together? Could it be that these two men secretly had sex?

Taking another look at Ge Zhao's record details, Song Zheng found a line of small words in the record on August 11, the ninth year of Zhengyuan, "The person accompanying him is suspected of being Ping Xizhi." Because Teng Hongcheng's people didn't see it clearly, they used

There is a word "suspicious".

Song Zheng went through the relevant materials again and found no doubtful records.

At this time, Song Zheng heard shouting from outside, and the voice sounded like it was Cai Yong. Song Zheng suddenly woke up, and before he knew it, more than half an hour had passed.

Opening the door, I saw Wen'er running over from a distance, "Master, your guards are looking for you and have barged in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yong was seen leaning out from the screen wall in the southeast corner, pushing and shoving with the big man with black beard.

"Stop! Get out of here!" Song Zheng shouted loudly. When Cai Yong and others saw Song Zheng, they immediately stopped and slowly exited the backyard.

Seeing Wen'er sweating on her forehead, Song Zheng smiled and said, "My men are rude and have disturbed the girl. I hope you can tell Commander Yuan that Song will apologize to her."

Wen'er Yingying said, "My young lady is a little tired and is taking a nap. I will wake her up now."

"No need! Being disturbed while sleeping is one of the most hateful things in the world. Song will not be such a bad person. Let's go!" Regardless of whether Yuan Rong is avoiding suspicion or putting on a show, Yuan Rong doesn't want to see her now.

, Song Zheng also had no interest in appreciating Haitang’s spring sleep.

"Congratulations, sir!" Wen'er gave a blessing.

Song Zheng nodded and suddenly smiled, "Fortunately, Miss Wen'er is here. Otherwise, the flowers and plants in the courtyard would have been made of ice."

"Made of ice?" Wen'er was stunned, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly covered her mouth and smiled.

Walking slowly, Song Zheng walked half a circle around the courtyard, chatted casually with Wen'er for a few words, and then left the backyard. With Song Zheng's wit, he figured out Wen'er's identity in just a few words. She was

The girl who takes care of Yuan Rong's daily life usually only wears clothes, cooks, grows flowers and grass, and rarely goes out. Yuan Rong is also careful enough, passing paper balls to herself, even Wen'er hides it.

After coming out of Yousi's stronghold, Song Zheng went directly to Li Hongniang's place. Li Hongniang was extremely happy when her lover arrived. Song Zheng lingered with him for a while and then got into the database. Li Hongniang also received Duan Ren's order to let

He assisted Song Zheng. Therefore, Song Zheng could access the database. Otherwise, as the supervisor of Zuo Si, he would not be able to directly check You Si's information.

Li Hongniang accompanied Song Zheng into the database and held a lamp for Ai Lang.

Here, Song Zheng made a discovery. Regarding the information about Huanxing's three field hunts, Ping Xizhi only reported the one in the seventh year of Zhengyuan. Ping Xizhi had been appointed commander of the Imperial City Division of Taiping Prefecture for six years. It should be

There is no reason to omit the last two times. Relatedly, Ge Zhao's two field hunts are also not recorded.

It seems that this Ping Xi is really suspicious.

"Xiao Lang, have you noticed anything?" After a woman has a partner, her body language changes immediately, and even a girl like Li Hongniang is no exception. When she speaks, her voice is as gentle as water.

"Have you met this person Ping Xizhi? How is this person like?"

"I've met him a few times. He's a very honest and steady person. All information is submitted every month, and there's never any delay."

"This time Zuo Si made adjustments, where did he go?"

"It seems that he has joined the city guard and is still in charge of the local garrison in Taiping Prefecture. What? What's wrong with him?"

"I just came from Yuan Rong's place. The materials you have there are different from those here. They seem to be more complete than here."

"You went to Yuan Rong's place? You..." Something strange flashed in Li Hongniang's eyes.

"Where have you been thinking?" Song Zheng stroked his buttocks, "I want to investigate Huan Xing's affairs, so naturally I need to compare the two materials."

Li Hongniang trembled slightly and murmured, "Good man, this is the database!"

"Isn't it nice to be quiet?" Song Zheng chuckled and held Li Hongniang in his arms.

With the direction of the search, Song Zheng felt confident. It was a good age for love, and Song Zheng would not let down the beauty in his arms. A moment later, Li Hongniang's sobbing voice could be heard in the room.
