On this day, some families in the capital were happy and some were sad.

The Yang family discovered the news about the young master who had been missing for five years, and the whole family was full of expectations and happiness, so there was no need to say much.

The Zhang Mansion located next to Yu Street was full of traffic, and officials from both inside and outside were waiting in line at the door. When the servants saw that the official was one level higher, they would not say anything about the food and card. Fewer came a little respectful, so they did not inform them and rushed out directly.

Emperor Zhezong had not been to court for many days. The wise man revealed that the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and the imperial physician was helpless. Some rumors came out, making all civil and military officials extremely nervous.

Of course, they were not nervous about the emperor's life or death, but about the reshuffle after the new emperor ascended the throne.

As we all know, every new emperor ascended the throne in all dynasties would inevitably burn a few fires, demoting all the old ministers and officials who stood in the wrong team, and replacing them with a group of confidant officials of the new emperor when he was in the secret residence.

This is a life gambling, which is blocked by the future of prosperity and wealth. Many officials are frightened, worried that they will stand in the wrong team and follow the wrong person. So at this time, they are more anxious than anyone else and go to the residence of the Prime Minister Zhang Dun, intending to inquire about information.

There were rumors from all over the court and the country that the princes who were most likely to inherit the throne were either King Mu or King Chu. Zhang Dun had a strong relationship with these two princes. No matter who ascended the throne in the end, Zhang Dun would become a minister of life and remain his prime minister, calling for the wind and rain. Therefore, all officials from all over the court and the country all focused on Zhang Dun and came to pay their respects to the mansion. As long as they bet with Zhang Dun, they would win a safe situation.

However, the power of the emperor is too great. Youdao is that the royal family has no affection. King Mu and King Chu turned against each other because of the throne. They were not very confident, so they insisted on Zhang Dun to make a choice, and choose one of them.

In this way, Zhang Dun's mansion became uneasy and other officials could be sent away, but the lobbyists of King Chu and King Mu could not refuse. Zhang Dun wanted to step on two boats, but now he had to make a choice, which made him quite troubled and it was difficult to judge who would be the crown prince's staff.

Zhang Yang should have been in Hangzhou. Although Yang Fan made him lose all his money and even made him lose one toe, he was fully capable of staying in Hangzhou until he fulfilled his wish to occupy Su Tingting and the Su family's property. However, the situation in the capital changed, Zhang Dun had no son and regarded Zhang Yang as his own offender and wanted to make him a certain future. Therefore, he repeatedly forced Zhang Yang to enter the capital.

According to Zhang Dun's arrangement, Zhang Yang wanted to establish a good relationship with King Chu and King Mu, so that no matter who ascends the throne in the end, Zhang Yang will become their confidant, with high officials and generous salaries in the future, and with the arrangements of Prime Minister Zhang Dun, the future will be bright.

So Zhang Yang had to temporarily give up his plans for the Su family and come to the capital.

Originally, Zhang Yang had already established a relationship with King Chu and King Mu, and was also on two boats, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. King Chu and King Mu were in trouble for the battle to fight for the throne, which made Zhang Yang feel embarrassed, so he hurried to Zhang Dun to discuss countermeasures.

However, Zhang Yang was absent-minded. He hated Yang Fan too much. Since he saw Yang Fan in the capital, he always thought about killing Yang Fan to take revenge.

Seeing Zhang Yang distracted, Zhang Dun was displeased and said unhappy: "Yang'er, you are discussing major issues now. Why are you always absent-minded? You are still thinking about the woman in Hangzhou? You are really useless. If you choose the right crown prince and you will be successful in the future, you are still afraid that there will be no beautiful woman to throw herself into your arms? Which woman can't get it?"

Zhang Yang hurriedly said, "What my uncle said is that my nephew met an enemy a few days ago, and he was always unhappy. My nephew lost more than 300,000 yuan because of him and lost one toe. If you don't take this revenge, your nephew will not be able to relieve the hatred in your heart!"

Zhang Dun naturally knew the whole story. He knew that Zhang Yang was wrong, but Zhang Yang was his heart, so he naturally felt distressed, so he said, "Since that person has arrived in the capital, I should be fair for you. It would be a slight trick to kill a deceased!"

"Thank you uncle!" Zhang Yang was overjoyed, and then frowned and said, "It's just that Yang Fan defected to Prince Duan's Mansion and became a priest. My nephew wanted to do it himself, but he was afraid of Prince Duan and it was difficult to start!"

Zhang Dun couldn't help but frowned and nodded, "King Duan is a prince, with a status far above other princes. The priest of the prince's mansion has a high status, only one level lower than the national teacher. Do not act rashly, otherwise it will anger the destiny of the gods. If the emperor blames it, I will not be able to protect you!"

Zhang Yang sighed: "I am worried about this, so I forced myself to do it!"

Zhang Dun said: "You did a good job! But don't worry, King Duan will definitely not be an emperor. Once the new emperor ascends the throne, both King Mu and King Chu have children and will be immediately named Prince. At that time, King Duan will no longer be a prince. I will naturally find a way to help you deal with that guy Yang Fan!"

Zhang Yang showed joy again, thanking Zhang Dun.

But Zhang Dun suddenly frowned and said, "Yang Fan, why do I feel so familiar with this name?"

Zhang Yang replied: "I'm afraid my uncle has heard too much from his nephew, but it's because his nephew is worried that he has made his uncle worry!"

When Zhang Dun heard Zhang Yang say this, he thought it made sense and no longer thought about it.

On the east side of Longting Lake, in the back garden of Pan Mansion Mansion, the Grand Master Pan Shi was taking a nap on the chair next to the rockery. A bird cage hung on the branches of the plum tree next to it. Inside was a lark from the Western Regions, chirping, pleasant to hear.

Behind him, Zhao Xu stood there respectfully. Although he had something to report, he did not dare to disturb Pan Shi's rest and just waited.

With Zhao Shi's eyesight, it was naturally obvious that Pan Shi had woken up long ago. The other party deliberately did not wake up, which was just a temptation and punishment.

An undetectable ruthless look flashed through Zhao Shi's eyes and flashed away.

Half an hour passed, and then Pan Shi slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Zhao Shi standing there motionlessly, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm old, I'm sleepy, I've been tired of waiting for you for a long time!"

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "You are polite, I'm just here!"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they all knew it well.

Pan Shi sat up and teased his lark while saying, "Things are done!"

Zhao Shu replied: "My subordinates were dereliction of duty and failed to get rid of Yang Fan!"

Pan Shi frowned immediately, but still said in a harmonious voice: "With your ability, plus the death soldiers of Pan Longtang, it shouldn't be!"

Zhao Shu replied: "Reply to the Grand Master's words, Yang Fan was very cunning and disguised as he avoided our tracking. In addition, the intervention of the God Captain Ye Rui made our actions fail several times!"

Pan Shi nodded, as if he had known the situation for a long time, and then said, "You can handle your senior brother's affairs by yourself! However, the old man Yang already knew the existence of Yang Fan. No matter whether Yang Fan is true or false, I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go, you understand!"

Zhao Shi hurriedly said, "I understand that I have found out that Yang Fan's whereabouts. He is in the capital. However, he has recently become the priest of the Duan Prince's Mansion. My subordinates are afraid and dare not take action!"

Pan Shi was not surprised at all, but just snorted coldly: "This little boy is much smarter than his dead ghost, but he still lacks the opportunity. If he defects to King Mu or King Chu, then I may still have some concerns. Just King Duan is not as good as he can, so there is no need to give him face!"

Zhao Shu immediately took the order and said, "Subordinately obey the order, so I will send someone to get rid of Yang Fan!"

"Wait!" Pan Shi looked at Zhao Shi deeply, and saw that he had no hesitation about killing Yang Fan, he was relieved, so he said, "Don't do it first, this is the capital. The Ying Yangwei, under the old man Yang's man, is not a vegetarian. We may get him a handle when we take action!"

Zhao Shu thought about it, so he suggested: "It's like killing Yang Ping, and using the hands of the Xixia people to get rid of Yang Fan!"

Pan Shi waved his hand immediately, he was scheming and suddenly said, "Old Yang is the only one left, and he will not sit still and wait for death. We will just make the best decision to do it myself, and will force him to jump over the wall and fight us desperately."

Zhao Shu immediately asked, "Whether according to the Grand Master's opinion, what is the best strategy?"

Pan Shi suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "The best strategy is always to kill people with a knife! If you find a way to reveal Yang Fan's news to the Lin family, it is best to create some rumors. Then the old man Lin is better off and will not give up. Use the Lin family to get rid of Yang Fan and let Yang Fan suffer a loss!"

Zhao Shi's eyes lit up and he said, "It's still the great master! I'll do it now!"

Zhao Shu turned around and left, and another person suddenly walked out from behind the rockery. His clothes were similar to Zhao Shu, both of which were dressed as Pan Longtang.

"Trial Master, Zhao Shu just showed a trace of murderous aura to you! You are raising a tiger for trouble!"

Pan Shi nodded calmly and said, "It's okay, raising tigers can be used to support tigers. Once the tiger loses its target, it will retaliate against the owner. Before that, the owner will kill the tiger first!"

The man in black said immediately: "The Grand Master is wise, so I will monitor him!"
