Chapter 218: Zhang's Mansion Conspiracy

In the end, the two men discussed and decided that the date of departure had been set for the day after tomorrow and could not be changed, and that the murder in Chengnai would be handed over to the Criminal Bureau of the Ministry of Internal History for investigation and handling. And for that series of things, whether it was the initial rumors or the current killings, they were inseparable from those barbarians. Although it did not directly trigger the war, there may be an unpredictable conspiracy underneath these actions.

Yu Xuan thought that at that time, the war was unfavorable, and the barbarians said that as long as they handed over the queen of the west wind, they could quell the war, and the two countries were on good terms. To this day, anger still burns in my heart.

When it was dark and there was no one on the street, Prime Minister Du Cheng came out of the mansion and sat in the sedan chair waiting in front of the mansion. After a short time, he stopped, and Prime Minister Du Cheng bowed down from the sedan chair, and after standing still, he looked up at the plaque "Zhang Fu" on the top of the porch.

The sedan chair was sent away, and Prime Minister Du Cheng walked into the house quickly. A person who seems to be in charge of affairs greets him in front of the house early and introduces people all the way into the house. Stopped in front of a room, saw the steward knock on the door, and then said: Master, Prime Minister Du Cheng is here!

Then, a voice came from inside: Hurry up and invite the prime minister in.

The steward pushed the door open and stretched out his hand to invite Prime Minister Du Cheng in.

Prime Minister Du Cheng walked into the room, this is a study, the main table is facing the door, and Master Zhang is sitting behind the desk. As soon as Master Zhang saw Prime Minister Du come in, he put down the pen in his hand, quickly got up to greet him, and said: Prime Minister, please sit, please sit!

After Prime Minister Du Cheng sat down, he said to the steward who was waiting outside the door: Go and make a good pot of tea.

The steward went down as commanded.

When the men were gone, the two of them were left. Prime Minister Du Cheng said first: Did Master Zhang receive a reply?

Master Zhang nodded and said, "Got it."

Prime Minister Du then asked: What does the letter say? If so, can you bring the letter and let me look at it?

Master Zhang smiled and said, "Prime Minister is embarrassing me!" How can that kind of letter be kept, how can I say that what I am doing now is a great treason.

Prime Minister Du Cheng condensed.

Seeing this, Master Zhang said: Prime Minister can rest assured, those letters have been burned by me, even if someone finds out, there is no evidence. It's just that if the prime minister wants to cooperate sincerely, he must show sincerity, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to that side

Du Cheng asked instead: What do you say over there?

Master Zhang said: They said that they should be willing to have an important minister like Prime Minister Du Cheng to help. It's just that as I said earlier, Prime Minister Du Cheng needs some actions, preferably things that are not easy to obtain, such as the layout of military defense.

Hearing this, Prime Minister Du Cheng secretly cursed in his heart, but his face did not change, I can do it naturally, so if you want to act, you must ask me.

Master Zhang listened to it and responded in one bite.

The tea came, and without waiting for a sip, Prime Minister Du Cheng got up to say goodbye and left the house in a sedan chair.

Speaking of Zhangfu, this "Zhangfu" is the Zhangfu where Chu Yun incarnated as the son of the Zhang family.

The soldiers are ready to go.

In the imperial city, Lu Shui was dressed in a battle robe, sitting on a horse, as a marshal, standing at the head of the team, and on the left and right sides were also generals on horses, including Hu Guangwei.

Today, 100,000 soldiers went out to fight, and the emperor went out of the palace to see him off, and the formation was quite huge. After some repairs, under the eyes of the people, Lu Shui led 100,000 soldiers to set off. When the people saw that the soldiers were all heroic and majestic, they could not help shouting: "Invincible!"

Words like these have been ringing in the ears of the soldiers after they left the city.

Above the court. It was the early dynasty, the advice of hundreds of officials.

The murderers in the city have been confirmed to be the work of the northern bandits, and the matter has been handed over to the Criminal Bureau for investigation. However, after a few days, the number of people killed has increased, but there is still no clue to be found, which is worrying. In recent days, the early court has been discussing countermeasures for this matter.

Prime Minister Du Cheng is radiant today, acting decisively and resolutely, for what others said, when Prime Minister Du Cheng responded, the words were sonorous and powerful, how could I see a trace of the nest that was subservient to the second power?

Prime Minister Du Cheng held the admonition card in his hand and said: Your Majesty, regarding the murder of the rogue in the city, Weichen asked for an order and was willing to assist the Criminal Bureau in catching the murderer.

Prime Minister Du Cheng, who doesn't want to be quiet all the time, can take the initiative to ask for help, which is really unexpected. Yu Xuan, who was sitting on the Jinluan Palace, listened to it and asked: Does Prime Minister Du Cheng have a countermeasure?

Prime Minister Du Cheng replied: Wechen has a countermeasure. It's just not clear enough, but Wechen can guarantee that the murderer will be brought to justice within a few days!

In the next few days, sure enough, under the actions of Prime Minister Du Cheng, several rogues were caught, but at the same time, because they were caught, they bit the poison between their teeth and committed suicide. For the Criminal Bureau, the corpses of those rogues are of no use.

However, after this incident, the city returned to peace, and the murder of the rogues came to an end.

Prime Minister Du Cheng made great contributions, and Yuxuan rewarded a lot of gold and silver fields, and in the court, it seems that he values it more. As a result, Prime Minister Du Cheng's weight in the court has increased, and he is more loved by hundreds of officials. But Prime Minister Du felt that this was far from enough, as the prime minister, he was not the one who relied on the most, and, in his opinion, above the court, one prime minister was enough.

Zhang's house, in the study.

Tea was placed on the coffee table, and Prime Minister Du Cheng sat on the side. Opposite him, sat Master Zhang. They were still the only ones in the house.

At this time, Prime Minister Du Cheng said: The Liukou has been eliminated, although I have a reputation in the court again, but if I want to get the layout of the military defense, it is still not possible.

Master Zhang listened and asked: What do you say?

Prime Minister Du Cheng said: The layout of the military defense is only available to marshals or generals, and the military power is in the hands of another prime minister, with my current status, it is not enough to obtain.

Master Zhang asked rhetorically: You mean you can't get it?

Hearing this, Prime Minister Du Cheng said slowly: It's not impossible. As long as I'm the prime minister, I should be fine.

Master Zhang stared at Prime Minister Du Cheng with his eyes, and then said: The prime minister that Prime Minister Du Cheng said is Marshal Lu?

Prime Minister Du Cheng was drinking tea to avoid his eyes, listened to the question, put down the teacup and said: It's him.

After hearing this, Master Zhang let out an "oh", and then said: Does the prime minister mean to kill him?

Prime Minister Du Cheng pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and said: If you can, it's best to get rid of it.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, they saw Master Zhang laughing, and said: Sure enough, Prime Minister Du is not an ordinary person!

After finishing speaking, he thought about it and said: It's not impossible to do this, but if you really want to act, it's not so simple, after all, that prime minister is not an ordinary person, if you want to kill him, you can't do it without extraordinary ability. If you fail the first time, it's hard to get a second time!

What Master Zhang said was exactly what Prime Minister Du Cheng thought in his heart, and the difficulty was here.
