If you can really get the military deployment map of these places, Guo Lai will not only not be punished for losing firearms after returning to Liaodong, but may also be rewarded.

Guo Lai's eyes rolled and he pretended to groan, and after a while, he said, "It's not impossible, it's just that Lord Fang wants to promise me a few conditions, of course, some of these conditions are also to help Lord Fang complete the task." ”

Fang Congzhe said: "What are the conditions, Guo Lai Deputy Du will talk about it first, as long as it is not too much, I can promise you." ”

Seeing that Fang Congzhe was eager to kill, Guo Lai thought that he could take the opportunity to open his mouth, so he said: "Assassinating Zhang Weixian and Zhang Zhiji is not too troublesome except waiting for the opportunity, but Zhu Youzhen is a little tricky, so I need Lord Fang to help me find some firecrackers and gunpowder." ”

Fang Congzhe agreed without thinking about it: "This matter is no problem, I will have someone send it to you within a day." ”

Guo Lai saw that Fang Congzhe agreed to be happy, so he continued: "The second thing, once we succeed in assassinating Zhu Youzhen, then the capital will definitely be under martial law, and then our chances of getting out will be slim, even if you are the first assistant, you may not be able to protect us thoroughly, not to mention that once the people in the capital know that Zhu Youzhen was killed by our Jinren, then Lord Fang may not be able to avoid us, and we will not dare to take refuge here again, so I also hope that Lord Fang can hand over the military defense map of Liaodong and the nine sides to me first, Once we get it, we run away, and we don't have to come back to get it. ”

"This ......", at this time, Fang Congzhe hesitated, not because he had the life and death of the Ming Dynasty in mind, but because he was worried that these Jurchens would flee directly once they got the military defense map, and no longer risk the assassination.

"I know that Lord Fang has concerns, but it is a gentleman's covenant between us, and Lord Fang has not dealt with us once or twice, we will never break the appointment for a transaction, after all, we still have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, if Lord Fang is still not at ease, then we can get rid of one of the two fathers and sons of the Zhang family first, just as we first show our sincerity, and then Lord Fang will give us the military deployment map, and then we will get rid of the other two."

After all, the military deployment map from Liaodong to Yulin is extraordinary, these people are all from the army, and the military deployment map can basically be remembered by showing them once, in case they remember it and then return the military deployment map to him and then cancel the transaction, he is also helpless.

Seeing that Fang Congzhe was still looking uncertain at this time, Guo Lai snorted coldly and said, "Since Lord Fang doesn't trust us so much, then this deal will be canceled, I can't accept it without saying anything about my third condition, let alone the following conditions." ”

Fang Congzhe heard that Guolai wanted to cancel the transaction, if he didn't count on these people, Fang Congzhe really couldn't find such a suitable person, if he bought some ordinary assassins, once he was caught, he would definitely be involved, but these Jurchens were different, even if they failed and were caught, it had nothing to do with him at all, even if they confessed to him under torture, as long as they didn't have tangible evidence in their hands, Fang Congzhe could be said to be a discordant tactic used by the enemy, and all confessions were framed against him.

Thinking of this, Fang Congzhe sighed and said, "I can also promise you this condition." ”

"Okay, this third condition is that Lord Fang will find an opportunity to withdraw your Liaodong Economic Strategy Xiong Tingbi."

After Fang Congzhe heard this, his face suddenly changed, and then he said, "How can this be done?" Xiong Tingbi is not only the Liaodong Economic Strategy, but also the right attendant of the military department and the right servant of the imperial history, how can I say that I can remove it? This condition is not available to you. ”

Guo Lai smiled and said: "Lord Fang, don't worry, our is a transaction, don't you Ming people often say that you will pay back the money on the spot by sitting on the ground?" Everything is negotiable. ”

Fang Congzhe waved his hand affirmatively and said, "This matter doesn't need to be discussed, the old man can't do it." ”

Guo Lai looked at Fang Congzhe with some disdain and said, "Lord Fang, in fact, I don't have much confidence in killing the three people you said, so I didn't take it as usual." Why don't you give it a try? I've heard that the mouth of your great civil officials is a knife that kills people without seeing blood. In fact, it is not necessary to withdraw Xiong Tingbi, even if he is transferred back to your capital, as long as he is not allowed to continue to stay in Liaodong, as for what to do with the rest, Lord Fang can watch and do it. ”

Fang Congzhe thought for a while and said, "The old man is not too sure. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to be removed, Fang Congzhe could have joined forces with other officials to transfer him elsewhere or back to the capital.

As soon as Guo Lai heard Fang Congzhe's words, he was no longer as decisive as he just said, and seemed to have room for negotiation, so he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Lord Fang only needs to do his best, and the three people we want to kill, we also have a time limit, if the father and son in the Beijing camp do not come out within five days, then the transaction between us will be considered invalid, and we must leave the capital after five days, but before leaving, we will find an opportunity to help you get rid of the fifth prince Zhu Youzhen for free." ”

Hearing this, Fang Congzhe said with satisfaction: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

At that time, if Master Zhang Weixian really does not come out of the Beijing camp, then Fang Congzhe will have to find another way, but being able to get rid of Zhu Youzhen for free can save a lot of trouble, after all, assassinating a prince in the capital is a big deal.

"Then the fourth condition ......"

Fang Congzhe's face suddenly fell, and he looked at Guo Lai with a blank face: "There are still conditions?" Isn't it too much for the deputy capital of Guolai? To be a man, we must know how to stop in moderation. ”

Sure enough, the other party's attitude was very surprised, so it seemed that the three conditions were almost the same, and if he wanted to open his mouth, he was afraid that he would anger this Lord Fang, so he swallowed the conditions he originally came up with back into his stomach, and then changed his words: "Lord Fang, don't worry, listen to me first after I finish talking about this fourth condition." It is said that the prime minister's belly can support the boat, Lord Fang, your belly is not big enough. ”

Fang Congzhe snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "Hmph, I want to see what conditions you have to make." ”

Guo Lai learned the humorous way of the Ming people and said with a smile: "My fourth condition is that Lord Fang has to prepare a suitable dress for each of the six of us, and we fled in a hurry that day, so we had to take a few clothes to change in the nearby village." If you go out like this now, I'm afraid you'll be recognized without even having to do anything. ”

When Fang Congzhe heard that it was this condition, his heart relaxed, he glanced at Guo Lai and said: "It turns out that this is the case, Guo Lai Deputy should have said it earlier, but the old man never thought of it." ”

Guo Lai rolled his eyes in his heart and thought, "Isn't this something that you have to change when you get angry?" I didn't think about it until I thought about it on the spot, and I didn't think about it before. ”

"Now that the matter has been decided, Lord Fang will quickly send someone to watch outside the capital camp, as long as the father and son leave the capital camp, Lord Fang will send someone to tell us, a few of us are here waiting for Lord Fang's good news."

Fang Congzhe didn't say anything more, just nodded, then turned his head and gestured to Fang An, and Fang An helped Fang Congzhe downstairs.

Out of the attic door, Fang An turned around and closed the door again, and then helped Fang Congzhe back to the room without saying a word.

Fang Congzhe guessed what he thought when he saw Fang An silent, Fang Congzhe lay on the bed and looked at Fang An who was standing aside and asked, "Do you think that the old man shouldn't take out the military defense map from Liaodong to the nine sides and make a deal with Jiannu?" ”

Fang An said respectfully: "Master, the old slave doesn't dare to question the master, but once this military deployment map is given to them, in case they really defeat Liaodong, then the capital will be very dangerous?" How can the master be alone? ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Have these old men ever thought about it, but even if they are given the military defense maps of Liaodong and Jiubian, they may not be able to fight with the strong artillery of Shenyang and Liaoyang, even if they are really laid, there are Songshan, Xingshan, Jinzhou and other cities behind, and then there are Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and the defense maps of these cities are not within the scope of my trade with those Jiannu." As for the nine-sided...... There is no danger to the capital. ”

In fact, what Fang Congzhe didn't say, and what Fang An didn't know was that those important military towns, fortresses, and passes were all explained to the Jurchens.

Fang Congzhe was silent for a moment and then said: "Fang An, Shihong was raised by you since you were a child, and now he died tragically at the hands of thieves, can you bear to watch him die in vain?" I want to avenge him, and that's all I can do if I want to get revenge. ”

"Master, I ......"

Fang Congzhe saw that Fang An was still a little struggling in his heart, so he continued: "Fang An, as long as you know, no matter whether the Jurchens will hit the capital or not, as long as the master is here, you will be fine." ”

"Master, I understand."

Fang Congzhe saw that Fang An had recovered his previous appearance, he should have figured it out, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's good to figure it out, you go and send a few more people to the outside of the Beijing camp to take turns staring, and when you see Zhang Weixian's old husband and son coming out, go to the attic of the East Wing and tell them." Remember, the code of the East Wing attic is to cough first, and then knock on the door when there is a cat meow inside, and when the door is buckled, it is a long, two short and one long, a total of four times, don't make a mistake. ”

"The old slave remembers, sir."

Fang Congzhe nodded and then continued: "After arranging the people, you will go to the black market in Liuli Lane in the west of the city to buy six guns and fifty catties of gunpowder and come back, now the Beijing Camp and the Ordnance Bureau are very strict, it is impossible to get it, only the black market is possible, you don't care about the silver, as long as someone sells you, you will buy it." ”

"Yes, sir." After speaking, Fang An withdrew.

After arranging the people who went to squat outside the Beijing camp, Fang An rode alone in a carriage towards Liuli Lane in the west of the city.

When Fang An arrived at Liuli Lane, the sky had already begun to darken, it was not the first time he had patronized the black market in Liuli Lane, and soon, Fang An found the entrance to the black market with a familiar car.

This black market was hidden behind the watch shop of Liu Jifen, a woman from the Franco, Fang An knocked lightly on the door of the entrance of the black market a few times, and after opening an opening that only allowed one person to pass through, Fang An dodged in.

The things in the black market in Liuli Lane are all things that can't be bought outside on weekdays, and not only that, but the prices of things here are also extremely expensive, not comparable to the outside, so the business here is not much better than Liu Jifen's watch shop.
