Chapter 38 coincides
Leaving the teahouse, the rumor-spreading tea-drinker sneaks up in front of an inn. After looking left and right to see that there were no suspicious people, he walked in with his head up.
"Brother Zhao, how is the little brother doing this?" After retelling the story of the teahouse, the rumor-mongering guy smiled flatteringly.
The person called Brother Zhao smiled, picked up the bulging money bag on the table and threw it to him. "That's right, keep half of the money for yourself, and hire a few more people to spread the word in two days. Remember, everyone only appears once, and you have to find a place where no one knows! ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Zhao can rest assured, this matter will be handled properly." The tea guest who spread the rumors quickly nodded.
Brother Zhao nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go, remember to go through the back door, don't let people see you." ”
"Understood, the little brother has taken his leave." The tea guest who spread rumors respectfully gave a salute to the God of Wealth in front of him, turned around and walked out.
"Hehe, assassinating Shen Chongming, what are you kidding." There was only one person left in the room, and the person called Brother Zhao sneered at the big cigarette mole that was attached to the corner of his eyebrows.
This person's name is Zhao Ziming, although he is less than thirty years old, he is also a well-known figure in the capital. It's not because he has a deep background as a flat-headed commoner, but because this person has a wide range of ways and a lot of news at hand, and many dignitaries like to find out some news through him. His identity is to inquire about the package!
Since taking the risk of concocting a Jianghu killer, Zhao Ziming left the capital and rushed to Nanjing City non-stop, and began to arrange for the rumors of Shen Chongming's assassination to spread.
As long as the city is full of storms, it will be difficult to distinguish whether the news of Shen Chongming's assassination will be true or false, and it is very likely that his 80,000 taels of silver will be in his hands. With such a large sum of money, it is best to find a place with good mountains and rivers to live in seclusion for a few years to avoid the limelight.
As a well-known bag in the capital, Zhao Ziming not only knows a lot of rumors in the capital, but also knows a little about the officialdom.
Assassinating Shen Chongming, the Duke of Zhongguo, there are only two people in the officialdom at the moment who have such a need. One is the cabinet minister Zhang Juzheng, and the other is Feng Baofeng, the governor of the Dongchang factory.
And Feng Bao controls the East Factory, and there are countless good hands under him, so naturally there is no need to fake others to do this kind of thing, so the rest is only Zhang Juzheng's possibility.
Once his deception plan succeeds this time, it is expected that he can only be dumb and unable to speak. Even if he is unwilling, he can only secretly investigate his whereabouts. But the world is so big, how can he find himself?
This doesn't count, since he wants to assassinate Shen Chongming, it must be Shen Chongming who is a threat to him, and it is also a big threat that is enough to make him restless. Once Shen Chongming escapes this time, it must be him Zhang Juzheng who should be unlucky. When he falls, he won't have to hide anymore.
"Oh, this can be regarded as doing things for the people of the world, this Shen Chongming is always better than Zhang Juzheng." Talking to himself, Zhao Ziming couldn't help but laugh proudly.
"I said Brother Zhao, the brothers are drinking and happy, why did you come here?" The door opened, and a drunken man walked in with a wine jar in his hand.
"Hehe, Brother Wang, brother, I have an upset stomach, come up and rest and rest." Zhao Ziming smiled all over his face. The person in front of him is a friend he made in the capital, and he served as a six-rank guard in the palace on an errand basis. This time I came to Nanjing to escort the gift given to Shen Chongming by the emperor, but I did myself a great favor.
The guard laughed, "Brother Zhao, this is because you drank less, let's go, the brothers are waiting for you." ”
Zhao Ziming also laughed, while following "Go, there is a good thing to tell the brothers." ”
"What, Lord Ben was assassinated? When was this? Shen Chongming was dumbfounded, the news came from there.
"I don't know, now this Jinling City has spread all over it, and there are noses and eyes. It is said that this assassin hid in the box of the emperor's reward, and suddenly appeared and stabbed your lord in the chest with a sword, killing him on the spot. Brother Erdan even said with a gesture on his face.
"This ......" Shen Chongming wondered, which lord who gave birth to a son and didn't have a ** actually cursed himself like this.
Seeing Shen Chongming's brows twisted, Brother Erdan only thought he was angry, and hurriedly said: "My lord, my subordinates will arrange for someone to refute the rumors, and see if they can catch any of the guys who spread rumors." ”
Shen Chongming waved his hand, frowned, and said, "Why are you bothering all this effort, I'll go around the street another day, and this rumor will not be self-defeating?" ”
"My lord, I'm afraid it's not good to let this kind of thing spread outside." Brother Erdan whispered, after all, he was treated as a dead person by the people of the city, and he couldn't sleep this night.
"Alas, the war is approaching, it should be regarded as appeasing the people in the city in advance, you order to go down, don't care if the family in the house hears this, and the right should be used as a talking point for the people in the city after dinner."
"Oh, my subordinates get it." Brother Erdan answered, buried his head and walked out.
It is too noble for an adult to tolerate such a thing for the sake of the happiness of the people. pondered for a while, and Brother Erdan had a plan in his heart. In this case, I have to work hard as a subordinate, right?
Brother Erdan gathered, and it didn't take long for the guards and servants in the palace to gather. "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Ben has one thing to tell you. From now on, as long as you leave our Guogong Mansion, everyone must cry with a sad face! ”
Brother Erdan's tone was stern and full of aura.
As soon as these words came out, the nest immediately exploded below, and everyone chattered one after another, discussing in a whisper what Master Ma meant by these words.
"Xianggong, what are you doing here?" Xin'er happened to be passing by, and she happened to hear Brother Erdan's words, so she couldn't help but walk over curiously. This bad guy, what is this good thing to make everyone cry and sad.
As soon as he saw Xin'er, Brother Erdan immediately panicked and whispered: "Lady, if you have something to do, you will tell me again, Xianggong is busy here?" ”
Looking at Brother Erdan's appearance, Xin'er didn't want to ask again, nodded and turned to leave. Xianggong said that he must give him face in front of outsiders.
Coughing lightly, Brother Erdan said with a smoky face: "Have you written it down, if anyone rushes to make a smile, the monthly money will be halved!" ”
"The subordinates have orders." The guards were worthy of the captain's background, and when they heard Brother Erdan's stern tone, they immediately responded with a bang.
"You, you, you." Brother Erdan ordered three male servants who had not yet answered, and asked with a smoky face, "Do you remember?" ”
"If you go back to the words of Master Ma, the little ones will remember." Everyone hurriedly responded, and immediately wept and mourned.
"Hehe......" Brother Erdan just wanted to smile proudly, but then he took it away. frowned, and said with a crying voice: "Disperse, you all be vigilant, Lord Ben will check at any time." ”
"Lord Ma, Lord Wang Siming, the governor of the Qincha outside, is here." He hadn't taken two steps before a guard hurried over.
This Wang Siming has been listed as the most unpopular person in the Guogong Mansion by Master Ma, but whenever he asks to see him, he needs to report to Lord Ma before he can report to his father-in-law.
"Hmph, this dog thing must be listening to the truth." Brother Erdan muttered,
"Let's go, I'll meet him."
"Lord Chincha, what a rare guest." Brother Erdan squeezed out a stiff smile and greeted him.
"It's Lord Ma, this official came to visit Brother Shen, and he bothered Lord Ma to say goodbye." Although Wang Siming had a smile on his face, his eyes didn't stay on Brother Erdan for long.
Brother Erdan wanted to sneer a few words, but when he thought about what he had just told everyone to do, he immediately dispelled this idea, and said with a forced smile: "I'm really sorry Lord Qincha, my grandfather is not feeling well today, and he will rest before he smokes this day, why don't you come back another day?" ”
When Wang Siming, who originally came with the purpose of listening, heard this, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, could it be that the rumors on the street were true?
"That's the case, Lord Ma, this official has some things to ask Brother Shen about military affairs, and I hope Lord Ma will think of a way. You also know that this military matter is urgent, and he can't afford to delay. ”
Brother Erdan sneered in his heart. This grandson, who has been in Nanjing for almost a month, has not seen him come to the mansion to ask for any military affairs, but at this time he dares to pretend.
"I said, Lord Qincha, this military affairs is your errand, but you come to bother him when your grandfather is sick, what is the reason?"
Brother Erdan's tough attitude made Wang Siming's heart turn over a monstrous wave. This horse and egg have been following Shen Chongming for a long time, so he is naturally very stubborn. Normally, after listening to his own words, he should have sarcastically and secretly stabbed him, and it was impossible to entertain himself with such words. Well, I must have wanted to rumor that something had gone wrong.
Thinking about this, Wang Siming's eyes turned and looked at the expressions of the guards in front of the door, and they all looked sad, as if they had lost a battle and killed or injured their brothers.
At this time, Wang Siming had a bottom in his heart, and the rumors on the street were afraid that they were not groundless.
"In this case, then Ben Guan will come back another day." Wang Siming said casually, and hurriedly walked back to the palanquin on the side of the gate. We'll have to find a way to find out, and if it's true, that's great.
Nanjing City, Nameless Inn.
Listening to the return of the subordinates in front of him, Song Qingyang's brows furrowed. "Just died so easily?"
"My lord, this matter has spread all over Jinling City. Although there is no change in the Guogong Mansion at the moment, the subordinates think that the people in the mansion must be deliberately blocking the news. The subordinate spoke his mind. This Shen Chongming is deeply trusted by the emperor, if he really dies in assassination, the safest thing to do before reporting to the emperor is to block the news.
"Have you ever sent someone to explore Shen Chongming's mansion?" Song Qingyang asked with two glaring, his heart was already faintly excited. If it's true, then this Yizhi Mei Ke is too powerful, if you can recruit such a talent to your side, it will be much easier to act in the future.
"My lord, since Shen Chongming left the mansion outside the city and moved into the city, his mansion has been like an iron bucket, and his subordinates have tried to insert fine works into it several times without success, so the specific situation is unknown."
Song Qingyang touched his chin and said fiercely: "Find a way immediately, you must find out the news clearly, and you will do it." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will try again." Seeing that Song Qingyang gave the order to die, this subordinate could only bite the bullet.
"Shen Chongming, did you really die like this?" Song Qingyang's expression was a little complicated, and for a moment he didn't know what kind of mood he was in at this moment.
