In the second year of Jianwen, Xiao Jien became the second "Ma Gong". After he took over the affairs of the traitor and spy in Beiping, he quickly showed great talent.

At that time, a monk with the legal name "Xukong" had been arrested, and this was an important person who knew a lot of lists of traitors and spies in Beiping! The people installed by the imperial court in Beiping were in danger of being wiped out.

Xiao Jien immediately formulated a strategy to choke his wrist and break his arm, and this matter was fully supported by the emperor Huang Zicheng and Yushi Jingqing. So Xiao Jien secretly ordered in the name of "Ma Gong": Order Zhang Yan of the Yan Wangfu Book to assassinate Xukong, and then cut himself to protect other traitors!

In order to ensure that things went smoothly, Xiao Jien threatened Zhang Yan's entire clan and promised to bring Zhang Yan's son (later Wang Yin) back to Beijing and raise him.

It was quickly implemented! Huang Zicheng, Jing Qing, Wang Gen and others praised Xiao Jien.

Xiao Jien never hesitated to do that, according to his many years of business experience, when encountering this kind of "cumbersome" industry (a spy who has been caught by the enemy), he must not be soft. It is time to abandon the property and dismiss the slaves as soon as possible, so as not to drag down the profits of the entire "merchant gang".

He was a businessman, and gradually discovered that he was very good at using treachery. From the second year of Jianwen to the beginning of the fourth year of Jianwen, the important spies of the imperial court were hardly exposed; Xiao Jien even secretly found the clues of the collusion between Xungui Xu Zengshou, the concubine Wang Ning and the Yan Wangfu.

However, on the frontal battlefield of the "Battle of Pingyan", the imperial court officers and troops were defeated one after another. The situation does not depend on the spy in Xiao Jien's hands at all, and it can change in the slightest.

Fortunately, Xiao Jien was worried about the general situation, and he never revealed his true identity to those spies and ordinary officials; still uses the name of "Ma Gong", and lives in a simple place.

…… In the fourth year of Jianwen, the Yan army attacked the Beijing Division! The Jianwen court was completely destroyed.

The entire Jianwen court simply fell apart, the trees fell and scattered, some died, some fell, and some fled.

At that time, Zhu Yunwen's father and son either died or fled, and they didn't know the ending. Other ministers in the know: Huang Zicheng was exterminated by the Nine Clans; The Guozhang Ma Quanju clan was exiled and secretly executed on the way; Wang Gen committed suicide by poisoning at home, and the Wang family lied that he had died.

There are only two people who survived, and Xiao Jien's identity may be exposed: the son of Zhang Yan (Wang Yin), and the second Yu Shi Jingqing.

Xiao Jien immediately moved out of the "Ma Mansion" where he lived before, and pretended to dismiss several slaves in the mansion and settle down; The slaves had seen him for what he was, but they did not know his identity. Then Xiao Jien used medicinal materials on the road to make several people "die" one after another.

As for Zhang Yan's son, that child didn't know Xiao Jien's true identity; Xiao Jien discarded it on the Ma Mansion and let the traitor king Gou'er, who knew where the "Ma Mansion" was, dispose of it by himself.

Yushi Jingqing is the most dangerous mouth!

Jing Qing has not only seen Xiao Jien, but also has all the identities of Xiao Jien.

Xiao Jien must get rid of Jingqing, otherwise he, the Wang family, and the Xiao family will be doomed. At that time, Jing Qing actually relied on his previous hypocritical friendship with King Yan and became the new king's royal celebrity!

The Jianwen court is over, and with the trust of the new monarch Zhu Di, there is a future at all. Xiao Jien even suspected: Jing Qing may also want to get rid of himself, and then become Zhu Di's loyal minister!

Xiao Jien saw Jing Qing first. Jingqing claimed that it was only an expedient measure, he was loyal to Emperor Jianwen, and he pretended to surrender just to avenge the country.

Xiao Jien didn't dare to fully believe this kind of statement, so he threatened Jing Qing: If he didn't assassinate Zhu Di as soon as possible, he would shake out all the things that Jing Qing had done before and the secret matter that his daughter was also a spy out!

Xiao Jien's prediction is: either Jingqing will be assassinated and the whole clan will be exterminated; Or do it yourself and find a way to kill Jing Qing!

However, things are unpredictable.

One of the dwarf adopted sons of Fang Xiaoru's family actually killed Jing Qing first on the way to Jing Qing's duty! Xiao Jien really didn't expect such an ending, he didn't even notice the inconspicuous Fang family dwarf before.

But no matter what, as soon as Jing Qing died, Xiao Jien felt that he seemed to be safe...... In the past, there would be no more good things that wanted to be knighted and worshipped; However, he re-started his medicinal herb business and forgot about the past few years, and his life was still good.

…… However, as the saying goes, "the wind leaves a sound, and the geese leave a trace", and the traces of the past are obviously difficult to completely erase. There are always accidents in fate.

Wang Gen committed suicide and martyrdom, and the inside story of the country was leaked! Yushi Chen Ying was impeached, and Jinyiwei commanded Ji Gang and quickly extended the demon to the Wang family.

Although Xiao Jien grew up in the Xiao family, the Wang family's parents, brothers and sisters are all his blood relatives. This time, Xiao Jien really felt the pain of his skin!

The eldest brother Wang Gen died, but he was martyred for Emperor Jianwen, and Xiao Jien did not have much resentment towards King Yan. However, his biological parents, brothers and sisters are so innocent! Some were bullied, tortured, and killed, and some were insulted.

Xiao Jien saw with his own eyes that his mother and sisters were insulted and laughed at in public; also got to the barracks and let those coarse and despicable Qiu Baling be humiliated and tortured to death. Seeing his biological father and younger brother, flesh and blood were blurred, and life was worse than death.

At that time, Xiao Jien was completely furious!

He felt that he had become a walking dead alive, and his soul was burned by the rage of hatred and revenge! Xiao Jien made up his mind to let the cruel people repay their blood debts at all costs!

Even when he calmed down occasionally, Xiao Jien did not give up his determination to take revenge. He was not only angry, but worried; Because the Wang family was punished, the Xiao family may be implicated.

Xiao Jien knew that his life was over, and it was impossible for him to live in peace.

The two nieces of the Wang family who did not die were all sent to the Jiaofang Division, among which the eldest brother Wang Gen's daughter Wang was slightly older; Wang's age is already sensible, and he knows that she has an uncle from the Xiao family.

Xiao Jien could have planned very calmly before, killing Jing and destroying the mouth; But he was unwilling to kill the people of the royal family in order to kill him. What's more, even if you kill the Wang family, you can't fundamentally solve the problem; There may be some old people in Jiangxi's hometown who have heard about the Xiao and Wang families before.

…… During the Yongle period, Xiao Jien began to plot revenge. He knew very well in his heart: the biggest enemy was not Liu Ying or Ji Gang, but Zhu Di! Those two civil and military are just the lackeys and tools of the new monarch.

Xiao Jien's nephew, Xiao Wencai, has a good relationship with the Wang family; If the Wang family had not suffered, the Wang family would have married Xiao Wencai. She is also single-minded towards Xiao Wencai, for fear that Xiao Wencai will be implicated.

So Xiao Jien first found the Wang family of the Jiaofang Division, quietly told her the tragic situation of the Wang family, and told her that she must not confess to the Xiao family; and persuaded her to believe that once the Wang family's great sin was implicated in the Xiao family, the Xiao family would also suffer this doom (including Xiao Wencai).

Wang talked about Yao Fang, who was in Jinyiwei, knowing her. Xiao Jien took the opportunity to instruct the Wang family and tried to get close to Yao Fang; In order to inquire about the secrets of Jinyiwei, mainly about "whether to target the Xiao family".

Xiao Jien was afraid that the Wang family would not be able to withstand the coercion and temptation and betray the Xiao family; He also found his nephew Xiao Wencai in Beijing, and asked Xiao Wencai to stabilize the Wang family. also asked Xiao Wencai to try to strengthen Wang's feelings, and swore that the alliance would be private for life and possess her body.

It really worked. Later, Jin Yiwei began to copy the political enemies of the Yan Dynasty, intending to completely cut the grass and eradicate the root to prevent future troubles; When Jin Yiwei decided to investigate Wang Gen's house, Xiao Jien learned the news in time. Otherwise, during the Yongle period, the Xiao family may have been found out and punished!

…… But real revenge, Wang, Xiao Wencai and others don't need it; They're not people who do that kind of thing, they don't have that ability.

Xiao Jien began to select those who had the opportunity to carry out revenge plots from among the remnants of Jianwen's traitorous spies.

After the Jianwen court fell apart, most of the surviving spies quietly ran away! Because there is no one to provide them with money and no future, finding another way out is the best option.

There are only two important people who are still in the Yongle court: Jingqing's daughter Miaojin and eunuch Wang Gou'er.

Xiao Jien understands that Wang Gou'er is more reliable, and women may not be reliable when doing big things! But the opportunity is the best and easiest to get started.

Listening to Wang Gou'er, Zhu Di admired Miaojin very much, and wanted to make Miaojin a concubine. So Xiao Jien tried to bring a letter to Miaojin and asked her to agree to Zhu Di's promise; Isn't it easy to take advantage of the bed to kill someone?

In order to prevent Wang Gou'er from being suspicious of Miaojin, Xiao Jien used Wang Yin as a "messenger...... When Wang Gou'er went out of the palace to procure, he went to the designated place to wander, and Xiao Jien secretly contacted him; Then asked Wang Gou'er to take Wang Yin with him when he left the palace one time, and Xiao Jien contacted Wang Yin as "Ma Gong".

Sure enough, the woman is unreliable!

Miaojin ignored Xiao Jien's orders three times and twice, and even Xiao Jien used her identity and threatened her whole family to no avail.

…… Xiao Jien can only rely on Wang Gou'er. The king dog is more reliable, but the eunuch is also afraid of death! Sometimes Xiao Jien is even suspicious that Wang Gou'er may want to let go of the past and be a good dog for Zhu Di!

But no matter what, Xiao Jien must use Wang Gou'er for revenge. He has been in the medicinal herb business for many years and understands the pharmacology of many medicines, so he first pondered the use of poison.

Wang Gou'er was a eunuch in Shangshan, and Xiao Jien originally wanted to use oral poison. But the emperor is very cautious in eating, especially Zhu Di, maybe Zhu Di is also self-aware and has too many blood debts on his hands, so he is extremely careful! A sip of water and a grain of rice, he has to ask someone to try it first.

Xiao Jien finally realized: It is too difficult to make Zhu Di take poison, and it will hardly succeed.

So Xiao Jien turned to choose the kind of poison that sealed his throat with blood. Snake venom, this is the strongest poison that does not need to be taken orally! The silver snake venom is the most venomous snake venom that can be found; Once poisoned, there is no cure at all!

However, snake venom has a habit and cannot last long. Either bite with a live snake or use it as soon as possible after taking the poison.

Xiao Jien looked for the places where he used to buy medicinal materials, and chose those remote places far away from the government, and quietly collected the silver krait live snake; While carefully planning the process of assassinating and killing the Yan King.
