Chapter 816: This Man Must Die
Looking up at the hourglass placed on the windowsill, Hao Ren stood up, moved the chair, leaned down, and groped under the big case for a while, and then with a strong hand lifted, a bluestone slab under the chair was lifted up by him, revealing a black hole in the tunnel below.
The tunnel goes straight down, and above the edge, a wooden ladder is embedded inside. Got into the tunnel, turned around and covered the bluestone slab, and the floor of the study was immediately restored to its original state.
Descending the ladder to the bottom of the tunnel, Hao Ren familiarly took out a glass lamp from a small hole in the wall, lit the lamp with a fire fold, and then carried the lamp and walked forward along the long corridor.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the tunnel had come to an end, and a wooden door appeared in front of him, standing by the door, Hao Ren knocked on the wooden door gently.
After knocking three times, Hao Ren pushed open the wooden door, and a stone room appeared under the light, in the stone room, there were all kinds of beds and bedding, and even bookshelves were installed, on which there were a lot of books. The glass lamp was placed on the table, and Hao Ren sat at the table.
A moment later, another wooden door on the other side creaked open from the outside, and a tall masked man appeared in front of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren stood up and arched his hand. The masked man on the opposite side walked up to Hao Ren, took off the masked towel on his face, and an extremely ugly face full of flesh bumps appeared in front of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was taken aback, "General Gao, why are you here in person?" β
Gao Xiangsheng, the former general of the prison guard, and now the deputy commander of the internal guard, although his identity is a little embarrassing among the internal guards, there is no doubt that he is still a big man, and he is the highest leader in charge of intelligence work in the Luoyang area of Chang'an. Hao Ren didn't expect that after he sent out the signal for an interview this time, it was actually Gao Xiangsheng, who had the highest status of the internal guard here.
Gao Xiangsheng has always been the object of the former division of the Great Liang Palace. This person is in Chang'an, Luoyang keeps creating panic, and his favorite thing is assassination. And most of the targets of his assassination were those officials who surrendered to the Great Liang in the former Tang Dynasty, and almost every once in a while, this guy would create a bloody case, which made the former officials of the former dynasty who surrendered in the entire Chang'an panic one by one.
But Gao Xiangsheng is like a ghost, not only can the enemy not touch his trace, but even his own people rarely see this person.
"This time the situation is different, Chang'an is a little weird, you sent the highest level of emergency signal, I think there is a very important report, it must be related to this time, so I have to come in person." High elephant ascension.
"It's a mess out there now, and you're their key target, it's too dangerous to come out." Hao Ren said: "Now you can't come out of hibernation is right. β
Gao Xiangsheng smiled, but in Hao Ren's eyes, it was even more terrifying. In fact, what Hao Ren didn't say included the other party's face, this face is too prominent, just let people take a look, it is hard to forget, with such a face haunting everywhere, the risk of being arrested is too high.
"Where is there no danger? Drink the cool breeze and stuff your teeth, sleep in the bed, and the roof will collapse if you can't stand it! Gao Xiangsheng said: "But don't worry, if I am targeted, if I can't escape, I will free myself as soon as possible." The last time I went back to Wuyi, I asked Yan Jiu's little girl to get a few pills, and when I saw the blood sealing my throat, it was extremely powerful, and I would never let myself fall into their hands again. So, you don't have to worry about me hurting you because of the loss of wind. β
"General Gao, where are you talking about?" Hao Ren laughed a few times.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Gao Xiangsheng said: "What happened in Chang'an? β
"I met Jing Xiang, Fan Sheng, Jing Xiang wants to escape from Chang'an, let me arrange." Hao Ren said: "Just now, Yang Honggui from the City Patrol Division also came to the door, although he didn't say it directly, but he also wanted me to help find Jingxiang's traces." β
"Jing Xiang wants to escape from the city?" Gao Xiangsheng frowned, "A big Liang is the head of the hall, and a head of the palace, but the only one who can make them flee is the Great Liang Emperor." β
"Zhu Wen has always been fond of Jingxiang." Hao Ren reminded.
"The City Patrol Division is Zhu Youyu's person." Gao Xiangsheng vigorously picked the flesh bumps on his face, and suddenly came to his senses after a while: "Zhu Youyu, it must be Zhu Youyu, I'm afraid that Zhu Youyu has already launched a coup d'Γ©tat, and Zhu Wen, the emperor, is afraid that he will be dead, so Jingxiang and they have to flee for their lives." β
"That's what I thought too." Hao Ren nodded and said: "Jing Xiang is a supporter of His Royal Highness Zhu Youzhen, I think, if he escapes, maybe we can benefit from it, so I have arranged for Tao Blind to send Jing Xiang out of the city." β
"Do you know where Jing Xiang is going?"
"Luoyang!"
"He's going to find Xu Fu." Gao Xiangsheng nodded. "But Zhu Youyu and they will definitely think of this, so there must be many dangers on this road, are you sure to send him out?"
"Fan Sheng appeared in Chang'an today, which attracted a lot of attention, I guess, he wanted to help Jing Xiang escape." Hao Ren said: "As for sending Jingxiang out, if there is no special accident, I am seventy or eighty percent sure." β
Gao Xiangsheng circled back and forth in the gloomy room a few times, and suddenly stood in front of Hao Ren, stared at Hao Ren and said, "Jing Xiang must die!" β
"Huh?" Hao Ren was taken aback: "Why is this?" β
"Mr. Gongsun has talked to me about Jing Xiang, and thinks that this guy is an extremely wise person and a difficult opponent to deal with." Gao Xiangsheng said slowly: "You said, he escaped, found Xu Fu, and then found Zhu Youzhen, what will he do?" β
"Jing Xiang is Zhu Wen's advisor, and he has been his friend for many years, if Zhu Wen really died in the hands of Zhu Youyu, wouldn't Jing Xiang want revenge? Besides, Jing Xiang has always been a supporter of Zhu Youzhen, if he escapes, he will naturally contact Xu Fu, and Zhu Youzhen will send troops to quell the rebellion! Hao Ren said as a matter of course.
"Not necessarily!" Gao Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "What you said, this is all Jing Xiang's private side, but you forgot that this person is still the prime minister of Daliang." This person has always had great ambitions, and his highest goal is to pacify the world, so he may not be very concerned about personal grievances. β
"In that case, why did he run away? Wouldn't it be enough to surrender directly to Zhu Youyu? Hao Ren disagreed.
"That's different." Gao Xiangsheng said: "If Zhu Youyu catches him, maybe he will kill him with a knife, if so, then Xu Fu and Zhu Youzhen will definitely not stop there, and their civil war will inevitably break out." But he escaped, and when he went to Xu Fu and Zhu Youzhen, it was very likely that such a situation would be prevented. β
"You're saying that this person will instead try his best to make up for the split between the Pseudo-Liang forces and become a hub for the connection between them?" Hao Ren asked in surprise.
Gao Xiangsheng nodded: "Very likely." Xu Fu and Jing Xiang have a very close personal relationship, not to mention Zhu Youzhen, who is obedient to Jing Xiang, so if Jing Xiang is alive, the civil strife in Daliang may not break out. But if he died, it would be completely different. β
"Then I immediately sent a letter to Tao Blind and asked him to do Jingxiang!" Hao Ren said.
"This is too superficial, if you do this, will you still be able to gain a foothold in Chang'an City in the future?" Gao Xiangsheng smiled faintly: "I'll do this." β
"What is General Gao going to do?" Hao Ren asked, "What do you need us to do?" β
Gao Xiangsheng glanced at Hao Ren, and the smile on his face was a little strange: "You just need to tell me their escape route." I have some waist cards in my hand, but this time they can come in handy. β
"Are you pretending to be an officer and soldier of the City Patrol Division, pretending to be the City Patrol Division chasing Jing Xiang?" Hao Ren suddenly realized.
"Of course, I still have to do it after entering Xu Fu's jurisdiction." Gao Xiangsheng said: "We will die, so Xu Fu will get these waist cards." β
"Then I'll inform Tao Blind!" Hao Ren nodded knowingly.
"No need to notify." Gao Xiangsheng said lightly.
Hao Ren was stunned, and immediately came to his senses, and there was a burst of cool air on his back: "General Gao, Tao Blind is my brother, loyal, and has no second heart for Datang." β
"If Blind Tao and your subordinates don't die, Fan Sheng will kill you. I don't think the people in the temple can help him! Gao Xiangsheng said: "And in the future, you will have to mix in front of Zhu Youzhen and Xu Fu, without sacrifice, how can you be saved, compared with Tao Blind, your status is much more important." β
"But Tao Blind is dead, and Sima Shang who patrols the city knows that I sent Jing Xiang out!"
"That's why I'll choose to do it in Xu Fu's realm. Can the City Patrol Division figure out who the dead were? Gao Xiangsheng said: "Even if they know some news, they will only think that this is Fan Sheng's palace front division. And how exactly did these people die, they are afraid that they will be even more confused. β
"But, but ......"
"Nothing!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "Those who do our business must be ready to die at any time." Of course, if this blind Tao is strong enough to get out of my attack, then it will be his fate. However, you must not leak the slightest rumor, the most real reaction is the best cover-up, dead, count him as leeward, alive, that is his creation. β
"Jing Xiang and Fan Sheng's families are still with me!"
"Then hide them well and serve them well." Gao Xiangsheng said with a smile: "In the future, they will fight, if Zhu Youyu wins, you will kill them with one sword, if Zhu Youzhen wins, these people will be your credit, and you can get greater trust in them." β
