Chapter 25: The Storm in Chang'an (2)

As usual, Gan Lin was seriously reporting the day's work to Rukawa Feng.

"According to our people's report, Princess Yaoyao's grave has been removed, and her original mansion is now only an empty cave!" Gan Lin said angrily.

The young man on the bed had a ruddy face, his back reclining at the head of the bed, holding a book in both hands and flipping through it casually, like a leisurely uncle.

"Oh? So where was she moved? ”

"I don't know, but someone found a newly popped grave in a high-grade feng shui treasure in Xishan, and there is no tombstone, so I don't know if she was moved there."

"I guess it's her nine times out of ten, you find time to take someone to see it."

"But who is so boring? Even if she dies, she will not rest in peace! ”

"Of course, those who wish her well, even if she is dead, he does not want her to stay with the lonely ghosts, but wants her to live in the blessed land of the high and continue to enjoy happiness in the underworld."

Rukawa Kaede put down the book and said with deep feeling, he thought, does he have such feelings for Eve? The result is negative, otherwise......

"Who is it? In our Great Lie Empire, there shouldn't be anyone who cares about her like this, otherwise she wouldn't have been framed and died quietly as soon as she came. ”

"Why does it have to be from our empire? Love knows no borders. ”

"It's him! It turned out to be him! How did he come to our imperial capital? How did he break through the search and test and come to Chang'an from the Northern Regions thousands of miles away? ”

"You should know him better than me, since he wants to come, he must have the ability to come, the guards in our place are impregnable for ordinary people, but for people like us, it's like nothing."

"What is he here to do, to avenge Yaoyao? Does he know who assassinated her? ”

"That's only he knows, I guess he did the bronze tripod thing some time ago." Rukawa Kaede said.

After being silent for a while, Gan Lin continued: "There is still a month and a half to go before the Queen Mother's sixtieth birthday, and she doesn't want to be too extravagant and wasteful to shoot any banquets, but His Majesty, in order to show the demeanor of a great country and his determination as a filial son, proposed at today's court meeting that all the children with the surname Liuchuan will enter the palace to pay respects on that day, and he will also take the opportunity to select some outstanding descendants to come out to serve the country in important tasks." ”

"Oh, well, that's a good thing, my cousins are all brilliant people, and it's a waste of talent not to come out and do something."

"With all due respect, my lord, everyone knows that His Majesty has no heirs, and this time I'm afraid that he is choosing a successor, don't you have any ideas?"

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, maybe there will be an heir in the future, we are courtiers, just do our duty, don't mention this matter in the future." Rukawa Kaede returned faintly, quite a bit of a warning.

"Yes, the subordinate is wrong!" Gan Lin admitted his mistake and apologized, and then said, "There is also the matter of Laifu, the queen has been a little anxious recently, she didn't kill her, and she felt that she had no face, and she wanted you to be soft-mouthed, so she let him go." ”

"Really? How is Lai Fu, has he been wronged? ”

"I went to see him once, but there was nothing, good food and drink were served, but I heard that there was a guy named 'Chang Wei' in there who always beat him."

"Haha, that's because he is not good at what he does, he deserves to be beaten, I won't give in, tell the queen, either wait for me to get better, or release people for me now."

"Yes."

After a while, Han Duan also came in to report on the latest important information he had obtained: "My lord, is not quite right with Mi Zhu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"Oh?"

"He is the big man who promoted He Shuishui, and my subordinates reported that he would help He Fang make a record every quarter, which included a list of ministers who had close contacts with He Fang, as well as the specific methods and amounts of bribes. They colluded and secretly embezzled the official silver of the imperial court, which is really a crime that deserves death! Han Duan said.

"Well, you go and watch it." Rukawa Kaede replied.

"Yes."

The night was dark and the wind was high, and a tall figure walked on the roof tile ridge, which looked so strange in the moonlight.

——

Two days later, in the dark night, near the house of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lang Mi Zhu's house.

Two ragged men and cats whispered in a dark corner.

"Brother-in-law, are we really going to steal the things of the Minister of Sanpin?" One of the skinny men asked timidly.

"Nonsense, otherwise what are we going to do? Do you think we're joking? We're professional, cheer me up, don't mess me up. The rest of the taller and more domineering man lectured.

"But we only secretly learned two fighting moves, which is not professional at all."

"Stupid, he's a squire, a nerd who can only read, don't you have confidence in dealing with him?"

"But after all, he is a minister of the imperial court, if we steal the account book he carries with him, will we be able to go, will we be arrested and beheaded at that time?"

"As long as you are clever, we won't be caught, everything has a brother-in-law! When our mission is successful, we will be able to go to the employer to get a lot of commissions, and at that time, brother-in-law, I will give you a sister-in-law, and we will be able to live a life of superior people, how beautiful! ”

"Okay, okay, then we'll go in and be him now."

slapped the other party, and the brother-in-law scolded in a low voice: "You are stupid, how dangerous it is to go in now, and we will sneak in in in the dead of night when no one is paying attention!" ”

"Brother-in-law, have you remembered the appearance of that squire and the appearance of that account book?"

"Isn't there a picture, you can take it out and take a look."

"I sold that portrait." The younger brother replied naturally.

"Sold? What is that broken portrait worth? The brother-in-law shouted angrily.

"The portrait is not valuable, but the paper is not cheap, and I changed five steamed buns." The little brother said proudly.

"Okay, you dare to secretly earn food and drink behind my back, see if I don't smoke you!"

The brother-in-law raised his big hand and was about to hit him, but he immediately took out two big white steamed buns from his arms and took them before the brother-in-law withdrew his slap and scolded: "Even if you kid still has a little conscience, you know that you left two for me." ”

While chewing on steamed buns, my brother-in-law suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, do you remember the appearance of that bullshit Zuo Shilang?" ”

"There are many people in the world who read the same, white and tender are not easy to distinguish, but I remember his official uniform, the big red is engraved with a peacock pattern (the three-grade civil official engraved bird peacock), it is very easy to recognize, as for the account book, it looks similar to the book of our street pig killing." The younger brother said affirmatively.

"Even if you're still a little smart, otherwise I wouldn't have taken you out to make a lot of money and make a fortune."

"It's all brother-in-law, you teach well."

"Haha, there's a saying...... Well, by the way, it's called rotten wood can't be carved, you're very good. ”

"My brother-in-law is really educated, and he is worthy of being a person who has learned knowledge from the village head Xiucai."

The illiterate people who don't know one of the two big characters and don't know that it's a word are bragging about it.

Time passed quietly.

——

Han Duan, dressed in night clothes, with three or five elite subordinates, lay on the roof of Mi Zhu like a cat, quietly opened a little gap in the tiles, and monitored the movement in the house through the dim starlight.

"Lord Han, when are we going to do it?"

Behind him, a thousand households asked in a whisper, they had been watching here for three days.

"Yes, we already know that every quarter Mi Zhu will make a list of ministers who bribe He Fang and a detailed account book, and hand it over to He Fang on time, it is observed that these two days are the date of their handover, and it will be difficult for us to wait for the account book to reach He Fang's hands." The other man in black said.

"Don't panic, everything is in the hands of this adult, now is not the time, when it is ugly, we will do it when there are fewer people." Han replied confidently.

"My lord is wise, and when he is ugly, it is the time when the guards in his house are handed over, and the defense is lax, which is the best time for us to act." A thousand households flattered the way.

"Hehe, that's natural, if Lord Ben doesn't have the ability to do anything about your leader, how can he become Lord Kaede's henchman? You follow me and work hard, and you will ensure a bright future in the future, and it will not matter if you are promoted and rich! ”

Han Duan began to brag again, which caused several people below to be very excited, and secretly made up their minds to perform well in front of this wise and brave boss.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will follow your lordship to the death, and I will do my best!"

"I think back then, I was also a rich kid, but I was arrogant, ran away from home alone, and later wandered to the north and became the command of General Feng, because of my outstanding performance, I was the first to rush forward in every battle and kill all sides, so I was quickly promoted, and finally became his most outstanding henchman......"

Han Jian began to brag about his glorious history again, and his purpose was not only to show his subordinates how good he was, but also to make them follow the example of himself and move forward bravely.

"Your Excellency is mighty! I have long said that Lord Han is the strongest of the four newly appointed servants, and he is the most valued by Lord Kaede. ”

A thousand households naturally flattered, making Han Duan extremely proud, he has always put himself above the other three in his heart, although he is disdainful of fighting back every time.

In their communication, time slipped away quietly, and when it was already past the hour, when it came to the ugly hour, they also stopped communicating, and they were alert and ready to act at any time.

But just when they were about to do it, the situation took a new turn.
