    He Tong bowed slightly and looked left and right.

    "It's okay, tell me, these are all my brothers." Yang Rong looked around, smiled at He Tong and said, "I would like to know what other forces are involved in this."

    "People who are loyal to Taizu!" He Tong bowed slightly and said to Yang Rong: "On the surface, it seems that this matter was planned by the Dangxiang people, and even the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty were involved, but this is not the case. Regardless of the Dangxiang people,  They are still from the Southern Tang Dynasty. All they did was to attract the attention of the imperial court. The people who were really behind this matter were a group of ministers loyal to Taizu."

    "What do you know?" After hearing what He Tong said, Yang Rong quickly grabbed his sleeve and lowered his voice and asked him, "Who are they?"

    "Lu Hanyun is just a small character among them!" He Tong bowed and said to Yang Rong: "There is Mr. Zhong Yao, I wonder if you have ever heard of it."

    "Zhong Yao?" Upon hearing the name, Yang Rong's eyes suddenly opened and he quickly asked He Tong: "You mean, Zhong Yao was secretly planning this matter from beginning to end?"

    "Exactly!" He Tong responded and said to Yang Rong: "The piece of silk cloth that I asked Lu San to bring earlier was just a small piece. I also hid the contents of the other piece."

    "Where is it hidden?" Hearing that there was another piece of silk cloth, Yang Rong quickly asked him.

    "Please, sir, lend me a knife to humble position!" He Tong bowed slightly and asked Yang Rong to lend him a knife.

    Yang Rong glanced at Chen Rui behind him. Chen Rui stepped forward and pulled out a dagger from his waist and handed it to He Tong.

    He Tong took the dagger, squatted down, put the dagger on his calf, and slashed it gently.  As blood seeped out, a long gash appeared on his calf.

    He made a cut on his calf and dug out a small, square oil paper bag that he folded.  He opened the oiled paper stained with blood and took out a piece of letterhead.  Presented to Yang Rong with both hands.

    Taking the letter still stained with some blood, Yang Rong opened it, frowned and read the words on it.

    When he read the letter, his hands were shaking slightly. After reading it, he took a few steps back dejectedly, sat on the chair behind him, shook his head and said, "This is not true. How could Mr. Zhong do this?"  Do something like this.¡±

    "Zhong Yao is not his original name. He once served as the magistrate of Daizhou." Seeing Yang Rong's disbelief, He Tong said to him: "But he did not become the magistrate not long ago. After the death of Taizu, he  He abandoned his official position and left, and later I heard that he lived in seclusion in Daizhou City, changed his name and became a famous scholar."

    Yang Rong did not speak. He held the letter in his hand and remained silent for a long time. Then he raised his head and asked He Tong, "Do you know where Zhong Yao is now?"

    He Tong shook his head and said to Yang Rong: "I don't know, but it seems that Zhong Yao came to Tokyo at that time and never left. It's just that I have been locked up in prison these days, and I don't know how things are developing.  .¡±

    "Look for Zhong Yao immediately!" Yang Rong frowned, turned to Chen Rui behind him and said, "Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find him."

    Zhong Yao¡¯s attempt to kill Song Taizong¡¯s heirs was nothing more than to allow Taizu¡¯s lineage to gain inheritance rights.  But Yang Rong didn't think it was appropriate to do these things at this time.

    Song Taizong was able to seize the throne from the Taizu lineage. He was not a simple emperor. If he wanted to seize power from such an emperor, he would have to go through a bloody storm.

    ??The internal battles within a country often provide the best opportunity for foreign enemies to invade.  Once chaos breaks out in the Song Dynasty, the Dangxiang people and the Khitan people will take advantage of it. By then, the Song Dynasty may lose not only the sixteen states of Youyun, but the entire country.

    Although he was unwilling in his heart, Yang Rong had no choice. In order to stabilize the Song Dynasty, he could only choose to destroy Zhong Yao's plan.

    It was only then that Yang Rong understood why these days, he always felt that everything seemed very clear and everything was completely clueless.

    The person manipulating all this behind the scenes turned out to be Zhong Yao.  This is the news that Yang Rong least wants to know and is most afraid of knowing.

    After arranging all the manpower, Yang Rong asked He Tong and Lu San to stay in the outer courtyard of the General's Mansion.

    On the night when Yang Rong learned that the person behind the scenes was Zhong Yao, Liu Yi also brought him new news.  The Tang official was found, but all they found was a corpse. He had been killed before Liu Yi's people found him.

    The thimble that Yang Rong asked people to check has not been found at all. If Su'e is right, the thimble must be the key to whether Zhong Yao can be brought out.

    Those who use thimbles, except those who love embroidery on weekdays,, there are only some elderly mothers-in-law.  Yang Rong understood this truth, and those sent out must also understand it.

    With He Tong being rescued, the incident seems to be getting clearer and clearer.  Yang Rong is also getting closer to the truth of the incident.

    He had doubted many forces earlier, but he had not doubted the power of Taizu.

    Since Song Taizong ascended the throne, the forces loyal to Taizu have been secretly moving in an attempt to overthrow Song Taizong and let Taizu's descendants inherit the imperial throne.

    These people may be loyal at first, but their desires will never make things so simple.  Once Song Taizong is really overthrown and Taizu's descendants ascend the throne, those who supported him to ascend the throne will definitely regard themselves as heroes and control the government, while another group of ministers will use them as an excuse to control the government.  They raised troops under the banner of King Qin.

    Once things really develop in that direction, the whole world will be in chaos.

    If Yang Rong is a brainless person, he may think that the worse things are, the better. Maybe he still has a chance to rise up and become a generational hero.

    But Yang Rong has seen these things very clearly. In troubled times, people like him are the ones who stand at the forefront of the storm. I am afraid that he will be killed before he can return to Xinzhou.

    The best way now is to help Song Taizong, find out those who are trying to bring trouble to the Song Dynasty, and break their plans. After Song Taizong's funeral, Zhao Dechang will successfully ascend the throne.

    Almost all the forces that could be mobilized were dispatched. Yang Rong even planned to send people back to Xinzhou and transfer the entire Ye Ci camp to Tokyo.

    But it would take at least more than a month to go back and forth from Tokyo to Xinzhou. Even if he could wait, the deadline given by Song Taizong was already very close.

    The only people who can be reasonably utilized at the moment are those under Liu Yi.  If Liu Yi suddenly rebels at this time, he will be completely passive and even fall short of his success.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
