Chapter 62: The Scapegoat

After Lu Yan went out, Lu Shoubei asked Song Zheng to move another chair and the three of them sat together. Lu Shoubei looked at Yang Tong and motioned for him to speak first.

Yang Tong nodded and said, "Little brother, have you ever heard of the Imperial City Division?" ”

Song Zheng was taken aback, he had heard of this spy organization all over the world for a long time. However, Song Zheng's face didn't show anything, he said, "I've heard of it." I read history books, Zhao Kuangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty in the former dynasty, made Wude Division the Imperial City Division, and was in charge of the entrance and exit of the palace city and the guards. We heard that the Great Qi Dynasty also has the Imperial City Division, it should be similar to the previous dynasty, right? ”

Yang Tong said: "Little brother is wrong, the current Imperial City Division is much more powerful than the previous dynasty. Not only was it in charge of guarding the imperial city, but it was also able to probe news from all over the country, and every state in the country had its branches, which were responsible for monitoring officials at all levels, spying on secrets, and reporting to the imperial court. ”

Song Zheng exclaimed: "When I heard about the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao once set up the post of 'school affairs', which was widely distributed, and if officials had illegal acts, Cao Cao would soon know." Is this the same for the Imperial City Division? ”

Yang Tong nodded and said, "It's almost, but although the people of the Imperial City Division can spy on some officials' secrets, they can't deal with them at will, they can only report it." Of course, if they are discovered during the spying process, the officials are not allowed to dispose of the people of the Imperial City Division at will. ”

Song Zheng said: "That's powerful enough, as long as it's a person from the Imperial City Division, wouldn't you be able to go anywhere?" ”

Yang Tong said: "The little brother is wrong again, first, the identities of the people in the Imperial City Division are hidden, and they all have other identities as cover, and they cannot be shown to the public; The second is that the Imperial City Division also has an opponent, that is, the 'Dark Eagle'. ”

Song Zheng naturally hurriedly asked what the "Dark Eagle" was.

Yang Tong said: "The little brother must know that when the prime minister of the dynasty Huang Yuandu, the 'Dark Eagle' is a secret organization in his hands, and it is also widely distributed everywhere to supervise hundreds of officials. The capital of the Imperial Castle Division is the uncle of the current saint, the 'King of Tokyo'. The king of Tokyo and Huang Xiang, one is the head of the civilian government and the other is the commander of the military general, and some information of officials at all levels has been gathered to these two military and political leaders. Originally, the Imperial City Division and the 'Dark Eagle' well water did not interfere with the river water, and even cooperated closely with some illegal officials and generals, and also captured a number of Dajin and Western Xia fine works. But in the past two years, the relationship between the Imperial City Division and the Dark Eagle has been tense, and there have been some fights in various places. My injury this time also has something to do with it. ”

Song Zheng exclaimed again: "Big brother, you ...... Are you from the Imperial City Division? ”

Yang Tong nodded and said, "I am not only a member of the Imperial City Division, but also the person in charge of Mizhou. If not, how would he know that Yao Changqing was Zhao Huan's illegitimate son? ”

Lu Hengshan interjected: "When Zhao Huan came to propose marriage for Yao Changqing, your brother Yang informed me of Yao Changqing's origin. I asked you why Brother Yang could know such a secret thing, and he was forced to reveal his other identity to me. I have worked with your Brother Yang for many years, and I only learned about him a few months ago. After your brother Yang asked for instructions from Shangfeng, I also joined the Imperial City Division. Therefore, in the Imperial City Division of Mizhou, your brother Yang is my boss. ”

Yang Tong hurriedly said: "The subordinates don't dare!" ”

Lu Hengshan said: "Yang Tong, you don't have to be like this. I joined the Imperial City Division, but I just wanted to know more about the Mizhou Wang. In the past two years, the Mizhou Wang clan has been at odds with the garrison, so I naturally want to know more about their situation. I won't get too involved in other things, and that's what your boss once promised. Of course, when it comes to the major matters of the Imperial City Division, I still have to do a little bit of responsibility. ”

Song Zheng asked, "Brother Yang, Lord Garrison, you are saying this to me today, don't you want me to join the Imperial City Division?" ”

Yang Tong nodded and said, "Little brother is really smart, you have good martial arts." We've recently lost some staff, and we need you to join. ”

Song Zheng didn't agree immediately, pondered for a while and asked, "Since the Imperial City Division is in charge of intelligence, I don't know how much Brother Yang knows about me?" ”

Yang Tong said: "Little brother, don't be suspicious, since you first came to the Academy of Literature and showed your kung fu at the gate, Lord Lu told me, I am quite curious about you." Later, we met by chance on the Transcendental Terrace that day, and my curiosity about you became even stronger. Even if he wanted to take you under his command, but you refused. After that day, I sent people to Shishan Town and Songjiazhuang to investigate. Speaking of which, a few of us are quite familiar with Songjiazhuang and Maling Lake, where a major event happened two years ago. You may not know it, though. ”

Song Zheng said secretly, what Yang Tong said should be the matter of King Lu's secrets, but he didn't expect that the people from the Imperial City Division would also visit there when they heard the news.

Yang Tong continued, "Our people have learned through investigation that you have been taught by Song Jiaoxi since you were a child, focusing on reading, and you are a nerd known to everyone in the village. Two years ago, in late June, you were beaten by your father, but after your illness, you became extremely intelligent. Since the beating, you focus on physical recovery and exercise. Two months later, Ling's grandfather and Dr. Lang Zhonggao in the village were poisoned by Qian Youcai, and you were worried about your father until you came to Mizhou. As for where your kung fu came from, no one knows, and this is what makes us curious. ”

Anyone who learns that they will not be happy to be inquired about by others, and the same is true for Song Zheng, he said with a cold face: "Brother Yang, is it arranged in advance to fight with me in the transcendental platform?" ”

Yang Tong hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't misunderstand, that day was indeed a chance encounter." I have never met you, how can I know that you are Song Zheng. And it was only after that day that I sent someone to investigate. I think you are a rare talent, and I want to wait for us to get acquainted with each other before introducing you to the Imperial City Division. The little brother should know that if he wants to join an organization like the Imperial City Division, he must know the roots. That's why I went to investigate, and I ask my little brother to understand. ”

Song Zheng recalled the situation when he first met Yang Tong, which did not seem to be fake. Based on his observation of Yang Tong, even if Yang Tong is acting, he will definitely not be able to act to that extent. So, Song Zheng nodded.

Yang Tong saw Song Zheng's grim face, and hurriedly said: "Anyway, I really mean a lot, and I hope that the little brother won't hold a grudge against me." ”

Lu Hengshan also persuaded beside him, "Song Zheng, don't say it's you, even when I joined the Imperial City Division, I had to explain to the third aunt, six aunts, seven uncles and grandmothers." Fortunately, Yang Tong knew me very well, so he didn't have to go through the trouble of them scouting. ”

Song Zheng was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Brother Yang doesn't have to mind, it's just that I felt a little uncomfortable just now." Brother Yang loves me very much, and it is my duty, how can I be bothered by this! ”

Yang Tong and Lu Hengshan glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the master and slave are transposed, when Song Zheng first came to the garrison mansion, he was worried about being dealt with by Lu Hengshan, so he was a little scared. Now it was Yang Tong and Lu Hengshan who wanted to invite him to join the Imperial City Division, and Song Zheng naturally took the initiative.

Yang Tong asked softly, "Little brother, I don't know about joining the Imperial City Division......

Song Zheng didn't answer, but asked instead: "Brother Yang, you said that you have lost manpower recently, and you yourself have been injured, I don't know if it is related to Dark Eagle?" ”

Yang Tong saw that Song Zheng seemed to be a little moved, so he nodded and said, "That's right." It's also strange to say. Around the Lantern Festival, two dark eagle people went to the countryside to run errands, but they were robbed and killed on the road between Huangya Town and Futai Town, and their bodies were thrown into a roadside ditch. Due to heavy snowfall, the bodies were buried. In addition, there was a lot of snow in the ditch, and the body was not found until half a month later. Since the Imperial City Division has a lot of contradictions with the Dark Eagle, they think that our people did it. Not only did they rob us of the money, but they also tortured them to kill them. Of the two Dark Eagles, one had his nose broken and his throat pierced; The other had his hamstrings cut and was stabbed several times in his thighs, lower body, waist and abdomen, and chest. I repeatedly explained that this was not our means, but these bastards just didn't believe it and took revenge on us by killing one of our brothers. I was naturally angry, and last night I took the five brothers with the best martial arts to fight with him in the dense forest east of Mizhou City. The other party is also six people, and the leader turned out to be the person in charge of the original Mizhou Dark Eagle surnamed Mu, who has high skills. In the midst of the fight, I was wounded by this man, and two more brothers died in the forest. Only the four of us escaped. ”

Song Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Yang Tong's words, he didn't expect that he was actually the initiator. He killed the ninth brother and the thirteenth brother, and the people of the Imperial City Division became scapegoats. Yang Tong saw that Song Zheng was stunned, thinking that he was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Little brother, if you join the Imperial City Division, the eldest brother will never let you do such a dangerous thing." How our matter with the Dark Eagle ends is beyond our reach, and now we have to ask the peak to decide, and there will be a result in a few days. Therefore, the eldest brother will not let you participate in this matter. ”

Song Zheng secretly said that he tortured Brother Jiu that day, and learned that it was Mizhou Dark Eagle who captured Old Man Gao and Xiaolian, and Brother Jiu was involved. However, Brother Jiu knew very little, and after they caught the people, they handed them over to a "Lu Lao". By the time Lu Lao handed over Old Man Gao and Xiaolian to Mizhou Dark Eagle again, there were already two corpses. Brother Jiu and others took advantage of the night to put the bodies of these two people and send them back to Old Man Gao's house, and arranged to frame Qian Youcai. As for the person who poisoned the Song family, Brother Jiu didn't know, it should be one of the two subordinates of Huang Song he saw that day. However, no matter what, the Michigan Dark Eagle is an accomplice and must be unplugged! The reason why he didn't go to the nest of the Mizhou Dark Eagle "Xingyuan Gambling Defense" to investigate was mainly because of his lack of strength and his fear of startling the snake. Now, if you can borrow the power of the Imperial City Division, it will naturally be the best.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng said: "Where is Brother Yang, how can the younger brother be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" All I am concerned about is that my martial arts are low, and I can't avenge my eldest brother. ”

Lu Hengshan reacted quickly, and immediately said, "So, you agreed to join the Imperial City Division?" (Ask for comments, ask for flowers, and rush to the list...... )
