Chapter Seventy-Four: Finding Evidence
Chapter Seventy-Four: The Search for Evidence
"Nonsense!" Cheng Jingye slapped the table directly. Bayi Medium?? Wenwang?? ?.“ The matter of raising troops is very important, so is it just wishful thinking? Although an army of 50,000 is not a small number, but the lack of training is tantamount to a rabble, what is the difference between going out of the mountains and killing oneself? ”
"You ......" Liu Zhen didn't expect Cheng Jingye's reaction to be so strong, and he wanted to be angry but endured it. Then what do you say, you can't wait for Shen Chongming to come to the door and arrest him, right? ”
Cheng Jingye glanced at him, turned his head to look at Zhu Yiluan, who was contemplative, and said: "Little prince, although Brother Lei has been exposed now, we have been sending cronies to communicate with Brother Lei for the past few years, and we have not left any letters or anything like that. Therefore, although Shen Chongming doubted us, he did not necessarily have evidence of guilt, otherwise he would not have been so passive and almost lost his life. ”
"But since Shen Chongming is suspicious, what if he forcibly acts regardless of the criminal evidence?" Liu Zhen-for-tat, this Cheng Lao Er is more and more arrogant, if he doesn't lose his face well, won't he have to call him big brother in the future?
Cheng Jingye smiled disdainfully, "My Ji Wangfu is the blood of the royal family, even if Shen Chongming is favored by Emperor Longqing again, he will not dare to be so bold." ”
"Hehehe, what Second Brother Cheng said is reasonable, as long as there is no evidence, even if Longqing looks at my Jiwangfu unpleasantly, he doesn't dare to easily treat my Jiwangfu." Zhu Yiluan's face was full of pride, this is the difference between himself and the group of turtles in the Wuwei Sect.
Seeing that Zhu Yiluan also stood on Cheng Jingye's side, Liu Zhen immediately had nothing to say, blaming his father and mother for not giving him a good head!
"Dare to ask the little prince, what should we do next? After all, things have come to such a point, you have to be a little guarded. Jinda, who has never spoken, said that the crime of rebellion is a big mistake, and one wrong step is a life-threatening matter.
Zhu Yiluan choked, not to mention, he didn't know where to go, so he could only set his eyes on Cheng Jingye again.
"If we return to Changsha for the time being, we can gather 50,000 troops in one place and stand by at any time. In addition, if you send killers to assassinate Shen Chongming and officials from all over Huguang who have not yet been loyal to the little prince, you must stir Huguang into a pot of porridge, so that Shen Chongming will not be able to move an inch! As long as we can delay for another two months, our preparations should be almost complete, and at this time, the chances of winning are even greater. Cheng Jingye said viciously, from now on, Cheng Erye is going to kill!
Zhu Yiluan smiled slightly, nodded and said: "What the second brother said is very true, there are guards and horses in my Ji Wangfu, after we return to Changsha, even if Shen Chongming kills the door, he can resist one or two, but he will not be completely panicked, and the two-month period should not be a difficult thing." ”
Looking at them, you made a plan with every word, and Lei Leopard, who had not been able to interject, couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Little prince, what should I do next?" Now that he has no way out, he can only follow Zhu Yiluan with all his heart.
"Brother Lei, I'm going to work hard for you. You can first gather the Dongchang people in Huguang, and then deal with Shen Chongming with all your might, and you must wait for the opportunity to take his life. This person has good ability, and it will be a big disaster to keep it sooner or later. Without waiting for Zhu Yiluan to speak, Cheng Jingye made arrangements. Assassination, this is where Lei Bao, the head of the East Factory, comes in.
Lei Leopard pondered for a moment, although he was a little reluctant to do this errand, he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
Lei Leopard got up and left, and Zhu Yiluan also stood up. "Now that the situation is that Wuchang City can no longer stay, let's find an opportunity to get out of the city early tomorrow morning. Second brother, you have to think of a way to do this, now that Shen Chongming is in power, he will definitely close the city gate tomorrow to arrest the people of Dongchang, and it will not be easy for us to get out of the city. ”
"Little prince rest assured, his subordinates already have a plan, tomorrow we will go to live in the mansion of the political envoy Wang Dapao, and it should not be difficult for him to arrange to go out of the city." Cheng Jingye said. With such a large internal response in the city, there is almost no need to worry about security.
Liu Zhen, who had been listless, was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a dry cough: "It's not proper, this time let Yu Prison under martial law city gate arrest Shen Chongming, and the political envoy is also involved, let's look for it now, aren't we waiting for Shen Chongming to come to arrest him?" ”
Cheng Jingye glanced at him and said impatiently: "Isn't it okay to put the responsibility on Lei Bao?" It is also a common thing for political envoys to obey Dongchang's dispatch to handle cases, and Shen Chongming will not suspect him even if he is unhappy. ”
Liu Zhen couldn't help choking, and suddenly had nothing to say, and if he continued, this birdman couldn't directly call himself a pig brain?
"My lord, this is a rare opportunity, let's catch that little traitor in Jiwangfu first!" Brother Erdan gritted his teeth, this Zhu Yiluan is the culprit of this matter, he almost killed the adult, and he must not let it go. After being arrested, he will definitely let him taste all kinds of torture by Jinyiwei!
Shen Chongming, who was leaning back in the chair and drinking tea slowly, glanced at him, and said calmly: "What's the hurry?" I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and now is not the time to catch them. ”
"My lord, he has colluded with Lei Leopard, and it is a fact that Lei Leopard murdered the court officials, how can he get out of it? If you don't arrest him now, what if you escape from this scourge? Brother Erdan looked incomprehensible. This kind of thing only needs to be cut through the mess quickly, and then it will be a great achievement to be in the capital.
Shen Chongming put down the teacup and straightened his waist, stretched out his hand and pointed at Brother Erdan, and said helplessly: "Erdan, is it okay to move your pig brain?" The collusion between Lei Bao and the Ji Wangfu is just hearsay, and you are asking for trouble by arresting the descendants of the royal family on this charge? Don't talk about revenge for this arrow, I'm afraid that I will have to be charged with a crime. ”
Brother Erdan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really like this, saying that the news that Lei Bao and King Ji's Mansion had a very secret relationship was reported to the adults by himself, and this news was also heard from the tea shop, and he couldn't count it at all.
"Then my lord, let's just let them go for nothing? Your subordinates always feel that this matter is an insult to your prestige, so you better think about it again. "Brother Erdan is still a little unwilling, he knows who the enemy is but can't take revenge, this is not our style.
Shen Chongming smiled, touched his chin and said, "Of course not, but you can't move them without conclusive evidence, otherwise you won't be able to beat the fox and make a fuss, and it will be even more troublesome." ”
Brother Erdan's face was full of sadness, "My lord, just tell me what your plans are, it's not a matter for us to sit here." ”
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Shen Chongming's neck stalked, and finally revealed the anxiety in his heart. He sat here drinking tea, but he was really not idle, but how to collect the evidence of the rebellion of the Jiwang Mansion made it difficult for him.
"My lord, isn't that large amount of silver basically certain to be from King Ji's Mansion now, such a large amount of silver, there must be account books in and out, can you say that this thing can be counted as evidence of crime?" Brother Erdan pondered for a long time, and finally found some ways.
Shen Chongming nodded slightly, "What you said makes some sense, but how can you get this account book?" And even if they use this money to do a rebellion, it is impossible to clearly manifest it, maybe they will use some code words to mark, and it will be useless for us to get our hands on it. As he spoke, Shen Chongming shook his head again.
Brother Erdan smiled and said confidently: "My lord, we don't have to worry about this. The descendants of the royal family have such a large sum of silver in their hands, that is, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and anyone can see what is greasy in it. Besides, we guessed this code sign, maybe they didn't use it at all, and they didn't think we would start with this account book. ”
"Well, that makes sense." Brother Erdan's words were like an initiation, instantly opening up a train of thought for Shen Chongming, who would have thought that this account book would be lost?
"Hehe, my lord, my subordinates' heads are still good, you can't say that I'm a pig brain in the future." Seeing that Shen Chongming agreed with his thoughts, Brother Erdan couldn't help but feel complacent, and now he is also a master of strategy.
Glancing at him helplessly, Shen Chongming said: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be handled for you, if you can't get the account books within a month, this official is the only one who asks!" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely get this matter done." Brother Erdan patted his chest and reassured, but he didn't think about the difficulty of this matter at all.
But then he thought about it, and he was a little worried. "Your Excellency, you said they would put this account book there?"
"This ...... Such an important thing, naturally, will not be carried with you, the most likely is to be placed in the Jiwang Mansion, and you will arrange for someone to buy the people of the Jiwang Mansion to inquire and inquire before it is too late. Shen Chongming pondered for a while and said.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Brother Erdan was in a hurry, but this matter made him extremely interested.
Thinking about this, Brother Erdan had a sweet dream. Catch a rebellious royal descendant, and you will be as famous as an adult. At that time, Miss Xin'er will definitely admire herself as a big hero, and it is also a good story for a beauty to match a hero.
"Somebody has to find someone to steal this account book out." Shen Chongming said to himself, although he handed over the errand to Brother Erdan, how could he ignore such a big matter.
His fingers tapped on the tabletop, and Shen Chongming, who had been thinking for a long time, couldn't help laughing, "Chicken and dog thieves, there is a place for you again." ”
Thinking of a way, Shen Chongming immediately put it into action, summoned a captain to whisper a few words, and the captain walked out with a frown.
This gentleman on the beam has always taken a detour when he saw our Jinyi Guard, and now it is not easy to find a master among the masters.
However, with Shen Chongming's orders, no matter how difficult things are, the captain has to do it hard, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he has to find out such a talent!
