The state of Yuzhou is Ba County, Linyu Palace is built outside Ba County, there is an inn near the Yangtze River Wharf in Ba County, called Bazhou Inn, because of the sufficient source of customers, the inn occupies a large area, there are more than a dozen single courtyards.

Three of the courtyards were taken over by Yang Xiuying, who came from Chengdu, although Yang Xiuying was the head of the Chengdu intelligence station of the Jinwei Mansion, but in fact the entire Bashu region was under his control, and he also had an intelligence point in Yuzhou, stationed with two subordinates, two of whom were a husband and wife, and they opened a grocery store in the city.

The reason why Yang Xiuying chartered the three courtyards of the inn was not for him to live in, but for Zhang Yun and dozens of his subordinates.

Of course, Guo Song could not ignore the Southern Tang court that went south to Yuzhou, so he gave this task to Zhang Yun's scout battalion, and Zhang Yun ordered Zhou Fei to infiltrate Yazhou to collect information on Tibet, and he himself led fifty of his men south to Yuzhou, responsible for keeping an eye on the eunuchs' every move.

In the room, Yang Xiuying reported to Zhang Yun the news she had just gotten that the eunuch party was going to move to Jiangnan, and the news came very suddenly, which really caught Zhang Yun off guard.

He looked serious, paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, and then he asked, "Are you sure it's going to be three days away?" ”

"That's what the edict says, whether it will be advanced, I don't know if it's lowly."

"That's a bit of a hassle!" Zhang Yun muttered to himself.

"General, you can send a pigeon letter to Chengdu." Yang Xiuying reminded.

"I know you can send a pigeon letter, but I'm afraid it's too late!"

Zhang Yun sighed, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is in Yazhou, and it will take a day for the pigeon letter to be sent to Chengdu, and it will take a day to travel from Chengdu to Yazhou at the earliest, and then two days have passed, and then the King of Jin will transfer troops over, and it will be four or five days later." ”

"But ......"

Yang Xiuying hesitated and said, "No matter what, we have to report!" ”

Zhang Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I have to report, I was just thinking about how to intervene, His Royal Highness gave me a clear order to protect the safety of the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor, but I couldn't find a breakthrough." ”

Yang Xiuying suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Last time, the general said that Ying Caihe also went south!" ”

Zhang Yun suddenly woke up, he almost forgot Ying Caihe, with her martial arts, she should have sneaked into the palace a long time ago, but she counted on Ying Caihe for everything, wouldn't she be unable to play a role?

Yang Xiuying understood Zhang Yun's worries, he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you find a way to find Xu Shiqi?" ”

"Is it useful to find him?"

"I don't know, maybe he can show the way."

Zhang Yun thought about it and agreed, rather than having nothing to do here, it was better to move.

He immediately wrote a 100,000 urgent pigeon letter and asked Yang Xiuying to send it back to Chengdu.

..........

In the Linyu Palace, the Queen Mother packed up with a sad face, she was completely involuntarily, and she wanted to move east to Jiangnan, she could only admit it, and as for whether the officials were against it, it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing an opportunity, Xu Shiqi stepped forward and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has sent people, they want to know if there are any people who can be trusted in the Shence Army?" ”

The queen mother sighed, who can trust it now, she muttered for a long time, but still said a name.

Xu Shiqi went back to the room and wrote a note, twisted it into a small roll, found his henchman eunuch, and hid the small paper roll in his hairpin, the hairpin is not exclusive to women, men also use it, like Taoist priests often insert a wooden hairpin on their heads.

It's just that the inside of the little eunuch's hairpin is empty, just enough to stuff a small paper roll.

Xu Shiqi whispered a few words to him, and the little eunuch nodded again and again, turned around and ran out.

As soon as he ran to the front door, someone suddenly shouted, "Stop! ”

As soon as the little eunuch raised his head, he was immediately frightened, and saw Ju Wenzhen standing in front of him, staring at him coldly.

"Where are you going?"

"Little slave.... The little slave has a stomachache and wants to go to the hut. The little eunuch bent over and said.

"Nonsense, search him!"

Two wolf-like guards came over, pressed the little eunuch down like a chicken, searched all over his body, took off his shoes, untied his hair, and found nothing, they did not notice that the copper hairpin was empty.

"Ku Gong, nothing?"

Ju Wenzhen has always wondered how the Queen Mother's will could reach Guo Song, and he feels that there must be an inner ghost inside.

He glanced at the little eunuch, rolled his eyes and said: "Maybe it's a message, drag it down and beat him with fifty sticks, beat him half to death, see if he recruits or not?" ”

The guards dragged the little eunuch down, and soon the little eunuch's crying and screaming were heard, and the guards beat them so hard that they were almost beaten to death.

A eunuch whispered in Ju Wenzhen's ear: "Ju Gong, he seems to be Xu Shiqi's person!" ”

"Humph! Wait for him to recruit him, and then go and clean up that old miscellaneous hair. ”

Ju Wenzhen turned around and left, he saw that there was a copper hairpin on the ground, so he stepped on it fiercely, took two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned back, and slowly picked up the copper hairpin, the copper hairpin was flattened by him, impossible! Is it empty inside?

He flicked it gently, and the copper hairpin was broken into two, revealing a white paper roll inside, Ju Wenzhen was overjoyed, it turned out that the secret was here?

He hurriedly opened the scroll of paper, his eyes widened, and there was a name written on it, 'Li Wanrong'.

What does that mean?

He turned around and ran towards the execution, the little eunuch's cry was gone, Ju Wenzhen was suddenly anxious, these bastards don't beat the little eunuch to death.

"Stop!"

The guards hurriedly stopped the staff striking and stepped aside.

Ju Wenzhen squatted down and grabbed the little eunuch's hair, and asked viciously, "What's the matter with the note?" To whom? ”

The little eunuch had already been knocked unconscious, and Ju Wenzhen touched his snort, his breath was like a hanging thread, and he only had air intake, not air out.

Ju Wenzhen was so angry that he stomped his feet, pointed at the guards and scolded: "A group of fools, who let you do such a ruthless hand, do you want to kill people?" ”

The guards trembled and said: "It was ordered by Ju Gong himself, first beat half to death, fifty sticks will be less than thirty sticks!" ”

"Bastard! I told you to eat, are you going to eat it? What is not there, drag it down, and hit fifty sticks per person! ”

Ju Wenzhen was crazy, always ruining his own affairs at critical times, he touched the little eunuch's snort again, there was no breath left, and he was killed by them.

"Drag it down and fight! Hit me hard. ”

Several of the execution guards were beaten to the point where they cried wolf, which upset Ju Wenzhen.

The eunuch next to him reminded him, "Gong Ju, can't you just find out who wrote this note?" ”

One sentence reminded Ju Wenzhen that only Xu Shiqi can write among the eunuchs around the Queen Mother, and the little eunuch is his person, and there will be no one else except him.

He was murderous in his heart, turned around and walked towards Xu Shiqi's residence, Xu Shiqi lived in a compound with the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor, but the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor lived in the backyard, and Xu Shiqi lived in the front yard.

Ju Wenzhen found Xu Shiqi's room, only to see that the door was locked from the inside.

"Kick the door open!" Ju Wenzhen ordered left and right.

A sturdy guard took two steps back, lunged forward, and slammed his foot on the door, 'Bang! With a bang, the door was kicked open.

Ju Wenzhen pushed the door in, but was so frightened that she took two steps back, only to see Xu Shiqi hanging in the air, already hanging from the beam and committing suicide.

The guard stepped forward to put him down, touched his nose, turned back and shook his head at Ju Wenzhen, he was already dead.

Ju Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Seeing that the queen mother was packing up her clothes, he rushed up, grabbed the queen mother's hair, dragged her to the ground after a few steps, and the palace ladies screamed in fright and scattered to hide.

Ju Wenzhen said viciously: "What's going on with Li Wanrong, say it quickly!" ”

"Phew!"

The Queen Mother spat on his face, Ju Wenzhen was furious, and knocked the Queen Mother to the ground with a slap.

"Slut!"

Ju Wenzhen scolded hatefully, wiped the saliva from his face, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, turned around and came to the front yard again, the guards were searching Xu Shiqi's room.

"Did you find anything?" Ju Wenzhen stepped forward and asked.

The head guard shook his head, "This old bastard is a chicken thief, only a few pieces of torn clothes, and there is not even a penny in the room, I guess where is he hiding?" ”

"Keep searching for me, if it doesn't work, cut his stomach open and see if he swallows it."

Ju Wenzhen explained a few words, and then went to Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang, when it came to the envoys of the Shence Army, he didn't dare to be careless at all.
