Chapter 174: Assassination (4)
Qian Zhensun has been living a very unhappy life these days, and a high-ranking official has disappeared in the tube, and he has to report to Jinghu Province. It is far away in Ezhou, and it will take several days to get back and forth, what will be the news when it comes back? He didn't dare to think that no matter what, he would not be able to get rid of the responsibility of "not governing the country strictly", and it was possible to lose his official position if he did not do it well.
Those people who were locked up in prison, although they were tortured and forced to admit a gangster, but they were not rescued, and he didn't know whether this kind of trick that could be broken at the slightest poke could be concealed from Shangguan.
Now I can only hope that a less serious official will come, even if he breaks some wealth, and after passing this hurdle, silver money is something outside the body, as long as he is still in this position, he will be able to recover it sooner or later.
Originally, he was in a very bad mood, and when he thought of going back home and facing the face of that mother-in-law, Qian Zhensun was 10,000 reluctant. Therefore, for the past few days he had planned to stay in the governor's palace under the pretext that the yamen had a lot of business, but in fact, at nightfall, he quietly went out of the palace, and there was another woman of his in the secluded part of the city.
Compared with the woman's gentleness and pettiness, the wife who had been married for more than ten years only made him feel bored, and the warmth of last night came to mind again, making him a little more brisk in doing things, and he just wanted to go out as soon as possible, and as soon as this thought came out, he beckoned to a subordinate.
"Go back to the house and inform your eldest lady that the official still has important matters to deal with today, so he will stay in the yazhong, so that they don't have to wait."
Although he thought to himself, he did not dare to leave early, because if the woman sent someone, he would not be able to hide it. Qian Zhensun was on pins and needles for a long time, and only waited until it was getting dark, then he ordered the door to be closed outside, and ignored all affairs, and then changed into a green coat and a small hat, and slipped out of the side door.
In the darkness of the corner, a man leaning against the wall watched them disappear around the corner without moving, lifted his burden and made a gesture into the distance, put it on his shoulder, and chased it that way.
"Sister, they're over."
The old dog saw the gesture of his accomplices, and immediately got up and ran to another street corner, where two women squatted and pretended to rest. The pheasant raised his head and chowed slightly, and Yue'e immediately ~ handed him a paper-wrapped stone, and the old dog took it knowingly, turned around and headed towards the east of the city.
In the cardinal mansion of Lin'an City, Jin Ming came to the gate with a horse, glanced at the two huge stone beasts in front of the door, threw the whip to the soldiers, and raised his feet to go up the stone steps. The guards on both sides looked at his dress, and glanced at the sign on his waist, which was not a lacquered gold wooden card, but a real pure gold brand.
Since the guards didn't ask, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and walked in without stopping, this is the military center of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is in charge of the dispatch, promotion, and supply of millions of soldiers across the country, but the guards don't even dare to ask when they see him, I really don't know what the rules are?
"The guards are all in command of the pro-army and the horse army, so that Jin Ming has seen the two prime ministers."
Above the lobby, Wu Jian and Jia Yuqing, who signed the book, were there, they were on one side, and the position in the middle should be the envoy sitting, usually if Chen Yizhong came, it would be his, but now that he is not there, this son will be vacant.
"Commander Jin is here, the hot day asked you to run, so you should have heard about it."
Wu Jian greeted him, his status was above Jin Ming, so he would not use honorific titles such as "riding commander", but the latter would respectfully call him "Xianggong".
"Hmm." Jin Ming just nodded and said that he had heard of it, he was this kind of character, and he was not arrogant.
"There is a document there in Jia Sign, you can look at it first."
Of course, Wu Jian knew this, and he didn't care about him, so he pointed to the other side and said.
Jin Ming took the document from Jia Yuqing's hand without saying a word, this is an appointment order, it is not signed and sealed, and the cardinal government does this to show respect for his opinion, after all, he is the head of the first department.
"Mingli, I went to Guangzhou to set up a governor's mansion for the use of pirates, and this document will be issued to the world in the open, but secretly." Wu Jian paused when he said this.
"According to the news received by this government, there is an abnormal movement in Quanzhou, and after you arrive in Guangzhou, select troops and horses, and be ready to attack at any time. This matter must be kept secret, and even the local vassals do not need to be informed. If there is a war, you can make a decision without asking for further advice. ”
Wu Jian's voice was not loud, but Jin Ming heard it very clearly, that is to say, after receiving this order, he had full power, and he had the final say on when and how to fight, this must be what Liu Yu fought for him, otherwise it would not be possible to have such good conditions.
To be honest, he is very satisfied, he has long been in a place like Jingshi, and if he really wants to be the "palace marshal" of Raushzi, it means that he still has to stay here, what does the ghost want? That's very good, there is a war to fight, and as for the future, we will talk about it after the fight.
"Xia Guan understands, what else does the prime minister command?"
"Quanzhou is a big city, if possible, if it is possible, if it can not be damaged, try to keep some of it, after all, it is against heaven and peace."
Wu Jian is not a person who does not know soldiers, he can only talk about it here, and if he talks too much, he will restrain the general's use of soldiers, and people may not listen to it, but this must be said.
"The teachings of the Xianggong are obscure, and the lower officials must keep them in mind."
"Since you have no objection, the official edict will be sent to your camp later, and you can decide when to leave, and I wish you a victorious start and success."
After saying goodbye to the two lords, Jin Ming no longer stayed, except for a trip home, he also wanted to find Liu Yu and hear his plans. Because this battle came inexplicably, he always felt that there was the shadow of that kid behind him.
"People are gone?"
Not long after Jin Ming went out, Chen Yizhong walked out of the back hall, he didn't want to show up, because he was afraid that this person would suddenly make some excessive requests, so that several people couldn't get off the stage, but fortunately, Jin Ming didn't say anything.
"Well, I'm afraid I'll go back to feast guests."
Wu Jian's tone was faintly dissatisfied, how could Chen Yizhong not hear it, such a big transfer, it would be enough not to send a prison army, and to give him so much freedom, which was unprecedented.
"Yankai, good husband, both of you think that the prime minister is lenient with him, but have you thought about it, speaking of a three-way soldier, who can say how many can be moved? These soldiers are not subordinate to each other, if you let an inexperienced literati to lead, you will be distracted, this person is a little brave at the end, if there is any mistake in the end, I also have an explanation for the upper and lower. ”
Chen Yizhong's words are not difficult to understand, Quanzhou can be described as a strong city, and the rebels are old soldiers, even if the soldiers and horses of the three routes can be assembled, how much combat effectiveness can they have? Now the shape is good, no one wants to hear any news of failure, Wu Jia and the two looked at each other and nodded.
"The mountain rain is coming." Chen Yi was very worried that the war would be protracted, if that was the case, the neighbors to the north might be ready to move, and in history, internal worries have always led to external troubles, and he didn't want to say these things to the two of them.
"What? Scout. ”
In the woods on the side of the official road, the man who was called the shopkeeper heard the news and exclaimed in surprise, they were all about to arrive in Beijing, and this group of people was still very vigilant, but a team of dozens of people sent out scouts in front.
"Well, it's about three miles before the sudden attack, and the two of them are one in front and one behind, and they are old-fashioned, like they are used to in the army."
The person who came said in detail what he saw, the shopkeeper was silent, three miles is not close, there is a priority that can't be taken care of at all, what do they want to do?
"Do you see that they are aware of it?"
This problem is the shopkeeper's biggest worry, if the other party already knows their plan, it means that they are trying to lure the enemy, the shopkeeper's heart is uncertain, don't do it badly and be countercalculated, then it will be a big loss.
"Not really."
The visitor was silent for a while, but still shook his head and said.
"How many people are following behind? The people we want are not in there. ”
The shopkeeper didn't ask him why he didn't like it, he knew that these people were very experienced, and sometimes they just relied on feelings, and there was no reason to talk about it at all, and since he said so, he must have his own reasons.
"Twenty or so, all on horseback, there is a person caught in the middle of them, very tightly protected, too far away to see clearly, a certain estimate should be the person we are looking for."
The shopkeeper nodded, there are not many people, there is still a possibility of killing with one hit, there is no sign of a large group of people and horses moving nearby, it should be as the person said, it is not like luring the enemy.
"The spies ahead, do you want to do it?"
The person who came finally asked, the distance of three miles, even if they roared, they couldn't roar that far, if they did it, how would they send a signal before they died? The arrow was still something else, and the shopkeeper was a little undecided for a while.
In Jiangzhou City, Li Shiyi's search for inns and other places fell unexpectedly in vain, and he seemed to have expected this result, and he was not discouraged, but just ordered everyone to concentrate in the area of the governor's mansion.
Because he suddenly figured out that instead of passively looking for it like this, it is better to wait for the rabbit, and this "plant" is the manager of money.
"The surnamed Qian left the house and went to a house in the city, there were many officers and soldiers guarding the front and back, and the entire alley was guarded, and they couldn't enter at all, so they would only work in vain."
The men quickly found out the news, and it was not surprising that the man was very afraid of death, and there was a kidnapping, and it was strange that he didn't do it.
"Is there a stranger staring at them nearby?"
Li Shiyi's question made his men stunned, there were several ways out of the alley, leading to all parts of the city, and there were many beggars in the city, and the ghost knew which one was dressed by others.
"Can it be in the shape of a woman?"
"No, the brethren can guarantee this."
A heavily guarded house, unless it has been mixed in, can only be stormed, and there are only four of them in total, so it is impossible to do that. With Sister Pheasant's character, will she retreat from the difficulties? Li Shiyi showed a thoughtful expression, this matter is getting more and more interesting. R1058
