Chapter 185: The Infernal Plan

Today's comments on Xie Shiting are polarized.

The scholars of the world are very dissatisfied with Xie Shiting's philistine practices, so they have the view that "the soul of our generation of scholars is lost for Xie Guanyun". The original Northern Lu Nan Xie Er went to one of them, especially the scholars from the south, who couldn't hold their heads up in front of the northern scholars.

But the fact is that after Xie Shiting took office, he used thunderous means to promote the reform of the household department. For example, the promotion of two-crop rice in Shuzhong, the expansion of the scope of border trade with Xiliang and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the reopening of the shipping department and the city shipping department have achieved remarkable results in less than half a year. Therefore, Xie Shiting has gained the reputation of "watching the luck out, and the treasury is sufficient".

Mixed reputations, and that's what Xie Shiting is facing.

I found that Hu Zongxian had a very thorough view of the situation between the DPRK and China, after all, he was a feudal official, but I had an ominous premonition, especially what happened in the market today, Hu Zongxian was furious and fainted. He is a man who cares a lot about fame, and he must not be happy when he encounters such injustice.

However, I still have questions that I have been puzzled with.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, after making sure that no one around me was eavesdropping, I threw out a question, and I asked: Since the former emperor is still alive, does he still want to restore it?

Hu Zongxian was shocked when he heard this, his face was cloudy, I signaled that no one around was eavesdropping, and he said, do you know that this sentence has been passed out, and it is enough to punish the nine clans?

I smiled, I have no father, no mother, no wife and no children, where are the nine clans for them to be punished?

When I said this, I suddenly remembered Xu Ruonan, before leaving Jiangnan, I had written a letter to her, and I don't know how her revenge plan is progressing. Recently, there has been very little relationship with the Nether God Cult, and sometimes I even suspect that they are still not in the world.

Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment before revealing an astonishing secret: the first emperor Zhu Wuneng had been imprisoned in the capital, and it was Dengwen Yuan who was responsible for imprisoning him. This is undoubtedly a thunderstorm!

It is no wonder that after the emperor returned to Beijing, he promoted the compilation of the manuscript of Lingzong's history. Because before, he had not been able to determine the life or death of the Spirit Sect, I am afraid that he would be unstable in his heart. After thinking about it, if this was the case, the former emperor was trapped in the Dengwen Courtyard, why didn't Zhu Runze kill him? Could it be that he was afraid of being charged with killing the king?

Now Emperor Lingzong has long been written into history, and in the capital, he has become a nameless person. In this case, the so-called restoration is just a dream. Now that the throne has changed for thirty years, once a son of heaven and a courtier, in the past thirty years, Emperor Lingzong's power has long been purged, and he cannot control the whole situation at all.

And Emperor Ming Zhu Runze had to face the question of whether to kill Zhu Wuneng.

The Son of Heaven's family is ruthless, even if it is father and son, when it comes to the ownership of the dragon chair, there has never been affection at all.

I asked Hu Zongxian why he told me this, and Hu Zongxian sighed, if I don't tell you, I'm afraid these secrets will be brought into the coffin. Hu Zongxian laughed at himself, and he didn't even have a coffin.

The emperor did not kill him, but he ruined his reputation and took away the glory that belonged to him. This even made Hu Zongxian's life worse than death, and the reason why he chose not to die was to fight for this breath, and in his lifetime, he hoped to get a fair evaluation.

Coming out of Hu's mansion, I looked up at the restaurant opposite, but saw three brocade guards standing at the window, staring at me indifferently. This feeling, like the feeling of a wolf in the snow staring at its prey, makes people shudder.

The first and fifth brothers had nowhere to stay, so I invited them to the six-door guest room, which was empty anyway. After hearing this, the two of them shook their heads like rattles.

Although the martial arts of the two senior brothers are not weaker than mine, as disciples of the Holy Gate, they have a natural fear of the Six Gates, after all, they used to be frequent visitors in the Six Doors Prison. I had to find an inn near Hu Zongxian's mansion, so that if something happened to Hu Mansion, I could arrive in time.

We just returned to the six gates, and Qian Qian came over, why did you two come back, the chief catcher has been back for a while. If he knows that I let you two go without permission, I'm afraid I'll be back on patrol tomorrow.

I asked the treasurer.

He's talking to a couple of headhunters, and he's saying he'll see you later.

Hearing that someone was coming, and several people called the big shopkeeper at the door, Zhang Youqian and I hurriedly sat down, took a copy of "Da Ming Law" and pretended to read it, even when Lu Zhongyuan came in, we both pretended not to see it, and we looked like we were shaking our heads and reading.

Lu Zhongyuan coughed.

The two of us hurriedly got up, and the big shopkeeper came, so please say hello to the big shopkeeper.

Lu Zhongyuan asked, have you two been dissatisfied with locking you in the door for the past few days?

Zhang Youqian said that the big shopkeeper, you don't know, we have been sitting at home behind closed doors these days...... Oh, it should be that my ears don't listen to things outside the window, and I only read the books of sages, Su Yu I don't know, but I'm addicted to reading every day and can't extricate myself, and my head is full of thoughts about protecting my family and defending the country and serving the court.

Lu Zhongyuan sighed, what have you been reading recently?

Zhang Youqian said, I am studying the "Da Ming Law".

I glanced at Zhang Youqian, this kid took the Da Ming Law upside down, he didn't know it yet, Wu Zi said, this Da Ming Law, it's really a good thing, I have been watching it for a few days, and I have really benefited a lot.

Lu Zhongyuan's face sank, and he pointed to the book of Da Ming Law, how did you study Da Ming Law?

Zhang Youqian's face was flushed, and he couldn't speak, I hurriedly cleared the siege and said, the big shopkeeper, in fact, this is not Zhang Youqian, he took it in reverse, isn't this to practice memorizing backwards? Zhang Youqian even said yes, yes, I bet with Su Zhutou.

Lu Zhongyuan didn't bother to care about this, and said, someone has found me in the past few days and introduced a more dangerous job, which will take about ten days, Su Youzai, Zhang Youqian, Qian Qian, I am thinking about sending any of you. Qian Qian, do you think you can do it?

Qian Qian cried with a sad face, the big shopkeeper, someone died in the family recently, and I still want to take ten days off.

Lu Zhongyuan said that the funeral leave is five days, who has to wait so long when he dies?

Qian Qian said that my mother-in-law, my wife and her mother, my baby and his grandmother. Lu Zhongyuan nodded, and said that ten days is enough to kill so many people? Qian Qian said that enough is enough, but I can't do anything about that task.

Lu Zhongyuan said something clear, and asked Zhang Youqian again, Zhang Youqian even hid back, Lu Zhongyuan said unhappily, don't you want to protect your family and defend the country and serve the court?

Zhang Youqian said the big shopkeeper, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that my father, you know, I am an only child, if there are three long and two short, no one can inherit his Wanguan family wealth, then he is still looking for you desperately?

Lu Zhongyuan looked at me, I hurriedly patted my chest and reassured, saying that the big shopkeeper can rest assured, since the organization trusts me so much, I promise to complete the task, cough, cough, cough, I have been feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, weakness in my limbs, and night sweats......

Lu Zhongyuan sighed and said, three days later is the Buddha's birthday, Li Xiaohua, who is known as the first beauty in the capital, is going to return to Longguan to incense, and a noble person asked us to escort it......

Qian Qian said that in fact, the funeral is not so urgent.

Zhang Youqian said, money is like dung to me.

I said, even if you have a disease, you can overcome it.

Lu Zhongyuan said again, this beauty is the outer room of a nobleman in the palace, that nobleman is in a high position, and he is jealous, someone looked at Li Xiaohua and was gouged out of his eyes, and someone said a few words of gossip before his tongue was pulled out.

I said, big shopkeeper, can we stop gasping for breath? Who do you want to send to speak for this task?

Lu Zhongyuan couldn't get his idea, so he decided to let the three of us draw lots, and after the catch, I was honored to receive this task, Lu Zhongyuan said to the rest of the people, you all go out, I have something to say to Su Zhutou.

When everyone went out, I smiled and asked, Lu Zhutou, that Li Xiaohua and Li Da beauty, how old is this year? Where do you live? Have you ever promised your mother-in-law?

Lu Zhongyuan glared, what Li Xiaohua? There is no such person at all.

I snorted, I knew there was nothing good! As he spoke, he sat on the stool with a huff, picked up the tea and drank it, the big shopkeeper, whether it was dead or alive, you just said it, a word of things.

Lu Zhongyuan took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to me, with the words "Infernal Plan" written on it.

I hesitated, this is to ask me to go undercover?

Lu Zhongyuan nodded, this matter is related to the Sihetang, the relationship between the Sihetang is complicated, the background is strong, and it is said that there are still contacts with some dignitaries and nobles in the capital, of course, these are not the main ones. Over the years, our Ming Dynasty has won less and lost more on the border of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and can always understand the military deployment of my Ming Dynasty in advance, I suspect that there are spy agencies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the capital, over the years, we have a lot of evidence, this Sihetang is very likely to be the intelligence agency of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty. But when we were about to reel in the wire, our informant was dead in the streets.

I asked why not send someone else? I don't have much experience in that.

Lu Zhongyuan said that he was sent, but they were all dead. Count you as the thirteenth. However, we have learned our lessons, and when the time comes, we will cooperate with you to infiltrate the courtyard.

I don't have a good airway, the big shopkeeper, it's only been a few days since the incident in the Songhe Tower, if I appear in the Sihe Hall, I won't be killed?

Lu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically, you don't have to worry about this, our six doors have introduced the latest minimally invasive plastic surgery technology from Goryeo, so that even your parents can't recognize you.

I said that there is a shopkeeper of Lao Da, even if it is plastic surgery, I will do some disguise surgery.

In fact, my transfiguration technique is very ordinary, it's okay to temporarily transfigulate for a period of time, if you really accept this infernal plan, it is a long-term undercover work, and it is easy to show your feet if you are not careful, and before that, I didn't dare to agree, but now that my senior brother is here, it is not difficult.

You go this time and find a way to enter Zhao Jiu's circle and be able to access the secrets of the Sihe Hall, which is a great achievement for our six doors. Did I make it clear?

I see.

Still have questions?

I said that there is one more, that is, is it true that the matter of escorting Li Xiaohua?
