Rhodes' bowing was not widely known all of a sudden. However, when Du Shiyi finished his hometown drinking gift and sent Shizi from Chengdu County to Beijing this year. Except for Wu Qi, the head of the Wu family who escaped early, all four of them were present. When Rhodes even praised Du Shiyi, Fan Chengming already knew that Rhodes, a guy who had been closely following him, had a tendency to turn against him.

Since Du Shiyi was also sentenced to the two tax envoys, he already knew that it was not advisable to fight head-on, so even if he could not bear this point, he endured it this time.

The big landlord was lured by Du Shiyi for profit, and the common people did not disturb the people when determining the land, and this was equivalent to reducing taxes. Du Shiyi often went to the countryside to inspect, but instead praised him more. As for the middle-level landlords with a larger number of people, they were pursuing the county school to start pursuing and expanding enrollment. Du Shiyi was really impressed by the lectures on stage and tried every means to send his children and nephews in. As for those with better qualifications, asking Du Shiyi to study in the two capitals with a book of recommendation, or to go to Songshan's ash cottage, it also became a trend.

Because of this, Fan Chengming could only follow what Zhang said and put his eyes off the bottom of his nose to a farther place, such as Yaozhou, which is constantly quarreling, such as the neighboring Pengluzhou and other states where Qiang lived... But now Bashu is also considered to be in harmony with the government, and most of the state officials are diligent and have nothing to do with the barbarians. Although he, the chief of the Yizhou Governor's Office, can inspect the defenses of various states outside, he is very idle most of the time. Compared with the Chengdu County Party Committee, he is often so busy that he is not touching the ground. This kind of idleness should have been comfortable, but he is not comfortable at all.

At this moment, holding a book, he could not concentrate on the contents at all. In the end, he couldn't help but put it on the desk in a mess. Because the thread-bound books are often called Du Lang books, the followers below were afraid that Fan Chengming and the book shelves were conspicuous, and the conspicuous positions on the bookshelf on all sides were all long-standing scrolls. The thread-bound books were often left high. At this moment, the same volume of "Qi Min Yaoshu" was the same. Seeing that he left the book, the maid on the side tiptoed up to the cup to fill the water, quietly returned to the place, and quietly pulled the incense burning furnace. But at this moment, a soft knock came from the outside.

"Come in"

"Empress, I have a hundred thousand urgent matters to report."

Fan Chengming immediately shut up the maid in the house. Even so, the servant who came in did not speak immediately, but stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Fan Chengming's case, and said softly: "Mr. Lang, I just found out about something. Du Ming's mansion ordered people to quietly detain a group of merchants from the Western Regions."

"Hmm?" Fan Chengming narrowed his eyes inadvertently, and then smiled, "He is so busy that he wishes he can't help but have the time to manage any business? Could it be that someone competes for profit with the tea shop he supports?"

"I originally thought it was this way. After all, those merchants suddenly disappeared afterwards because they talked about something in Yunshan tea shop." The servant said, and lowered his voice a little more, and even looked around. "But I carefully looked at it, I found that it was not the case, according to the hostel owners of the hotel where the merchants had lived, these people had a very obvious red face, which was said to be caused by frequent visits to Tubo. They spoke fluent Chinese and were surprisingly generous. Not long after they moved into the guest house, they went to have someone to use gold to exchange 100 guan for daily expenses."

"If you say so, it's really a bit suspicious."

Fan Chengming gave up the idea of ​​competing with Du Shiyi for the first time, but this does not mean that he had given up his purpose forever. If he was a chief of the Grand Governor of Yizhou who was a third-rank official, if he could not win Du Shiyi, the magistrate of Chengdu as the sixth-rank official, then he would always leave a stain that would be looked down upon in his future official career. After saying this, he thought about the time he had prepared himself, but because he had made Du Shiyi a second time, he would have prepared him, and he smiled.

"You should keep an eye on everyone under Du Shiyi, who was transferred to the Hanoi family, had arrived a long time ago, and the number of people would not be less than Du Shiyi's. Even if one serves one, it would be enough. Even if you can't find out the whole story, you have to make sure that he detains the business. Pass on me, as long as someone can find out the details of those businessmen, the bounty will be thirty cents."

"Yes, I must do my best."

When the servant left, Fan Chengming felt his heart thumping uncontrollably. Although the servant did not assert where the merchants in the Western Regions came from, and did not know what they were doing, he guessed based on his instinctively that these should be Tubo people. Although the Tang Dynasty Tubo once joined forces a few years ago, Tubo once wrote a letter to call him nephew, even so, he had fought many battles in the past two years. As long as he could prove that Du Shiyi and the Tubo people had a connection, he would not only get the previous revenge, but also... even the Du family in Jingzhao would have a big frustration this time.

Apart from handing over the kings and concubines, there is no more taboo than connecting with the Gentiles.

Although Du Shiyi did a good job of hiding, and although the tracking was extremely difficult, let alone inquire about the so-called Western Regions businessmen, Fan Chengming had been able to make a desperate effort to quietly transfer many plots from the Fan family in Hanoi, and had been tolerant for nearly half a year. Now that he is still, he will be shocking. Within ten days, various details were summarized to him, and he and several staff members carefully analyzed them. In the end, he finally got an answer.

This Western Region merchant is named Xingshang, but is actually a Tubo horse thief. This is undoubtedly true.

"Eunuch, I saw Du Ming's mansion quietly taking people out again. It was not the front door, but the back door, dressed like an ordinary follower. I watched him enter the place where those merchants were closed, so I kept the fourth brother there to monitor him. I came back first to report to the envoy."

"Very good." Hearing this latest report, Fan Chengming couldn't help but stand up, stroked his beard and smiled, "This Du Shijiu was crazy about money. He actually planned to make a fuss with Hu. He actually wanted to attack this group of Tubo horse thieves. He was a Chengdu commander who was shameless and honest. But I, the governor of Yizhou, could not sit idly by and ignore the people. He ordered the guards of the Grand Governor's Office and said that I would review it today."

Like Zhang Jiazhen, the chief of Yizhou, Fan Chengming, led the Jiannan Road branch to the camp, Song, Dang, Yao, and Changzhou defense and handling military and horses. There were more than a hundred guards in the Grand Governor's Office. Since he had spent two months in Yaozhou, which was adjacent to Liuzhao, he had naturally trained these guards. Although he was not as rich as Du Shiyi, the Grand Governor's Office could handle more money every year. Whether the government's capital was only in the mind of the chief official, he naturally turned a blind eye and asked his subordinates to find money catchers to lend money as usual, so these guards also got a lot of money.

Now the guards standing straight like nails stood in front of Fan Chengming, and a fierce aura rushed towards him. He nodded with satisfaction, and then said viciously: "Today I will report that Tubo spies have been mixed in the city. Do you have the courage to follow me to capture them?"

The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder in everyone's ears. Tubo has been involved in the four towns of Anxi and Hexi in Longyou for a long time, but because Jiannan Road is located in the southwest and there are many snowy mountains and steep mountains on the border with Tubo, it is rarely disturbed, especially Chengdu is known as a paradise. While everyone was frightened in their hearts, they heard Fan Chengming's promise to reward him, and their thoughts were naturally stirred up. With a courageous shout, everyone gathered, which also made Fan Chengming's expression even more excited.

"Then let's go"

Before summoning the escort, he had already sent his confidants to watch all the entrances and exits in the Grand Governor's Mansion, especially Wei Li, who was acquainted with Du Shiyi, who sent him to house arrest. At this moment, no one was afraid of leaking the news. When more than a hundred people were divided into three groups and rushed out of the Grand Governor's Mansion, pedestrians on the street were curious and curious while avoiding them.

What else is this envoy Fan who had been quiet for a long time?

When Fan Chengming and his people surrounded the ordinary house located in the deserted Lifang, they found that there was no guard in front of the door. He frowned and someone appeared in the dark alley next to him. He quickly walked up to him and bowed and said, "Emister, everyone has never left inside."

His people had already investigated it. It was an ordinary house. It only took a year for Du Shiyi to arrive in Chengdu. He should never dig a secret passage in such a place to escape. If that is the case, Du Shiyi is hard to fly this time.

Fan Chengming took a deep breath, squinted his eyes slightly, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Left and right, break the door for me."

As the gate collapsed, there were also guards climbing the walls on both sides of the low-high walls. In a short while, the small yard was already crowded with people. Until then, Fan Chengming had just entered the door surrounded by people. Seeing that the gate of the main house of Juzhong was closed, he shouted in a deep voice: "Listen, the Tubo spy inside, please accept surrender within ten breaths and avoid death, otherwise I won't blame me for using a crossbow."

"In a prosperous and peaceful place in Yizhou, Fan Envoy, as the chief of the Grand Governor's Office, had to use a crossbow without asking any questions. This is really great and powerful, and a great evil spirit."

Hearing this familiar voice, Fan Chengming felt relieved. Sure enough, when he saw the door slowly opened, revealing Du Shiyi's calm face, he frowned and sneered: "I have heard that Tubo spies sneaked into this place, so he led troops to round up. Unexpectedly, Du Ming's mansion was also here. I want to ask you the reason for this."

"Tubo secret spy? Why don't I know?" Du Shiyi widened his eyes in surprise. Seeing Fan Chengming's pupils suddenly contracted, someone immediately snatched them out, as if he was about to break into the room behind him. He said with a smile, "It seems that Fan Jun is really staring at me and being so obsessed with General Yang, please show up, otherwise Fan Jun might have accidentally injured the innocent."

General Yang? Which General Yang?

Fan Chengming felt suddenly confused. However, when he saw the old man with a tiger back and bear waist, a deep scar on the corner of his eyebrows, and his temples were already gray, he immediately took a step back without expecting that such a person would appear here.
