Chapter 15: Changing elbows and armpits

"Tianxiang Building"

One of Zhao Rui's secret strongholds, he never thought that Zhao Kai would set the meeting place there, and his intuition told him that Zhao Kai must have known what he did secretly, otherwise there were so many high-end places in Bianjing that he didn't choose, but chose there?

As the saying goes, there are three gangs of a hero, and Zhao Rui has a lot of subordinates who can work for him, but there is no one who can be considered a strategist, and at this time, it is also the time when someone is most needed to help Zhao Rui with ideas.

General Xu did introduce Zhao Rui to a person who could be a long history, but the time of knowing him was too short, and Zhao Rui couldn't tell him everything, and he didn't know if this person had real skills, so now he was just raised in the mansion like a guest.

Being able to know your usual activities is definitely inseparable from monitoring yourself, so who is most qualified to monitor yourself?

Thinking of this, Zhao Rui's gaze couldn't help but look at the guards who were practicing martial arts with Lin Chong.

All the princely guards in Beijing who are qualified to open the palace are all from the Imperial City Division, so Zhao Rui believes that there must be something wrong with the guards.

It seems that it is necessary to wash the people around you.

Zhao Rui is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, especially many things he does in secret are not allowed to be royal to the royal family, so he must ensure the absolute loyalty of the people around him.

Today seemed destined to be a non-stop day, Zhao Rui was thinking about where to start cleaning up the portal, and Yun Peng found him first.

"Your Highness, someone sent this!"

Yun Peng said and handed over a note, on which there were only three words: "Old Tavern".

Zhao Rui was slightly stunned, and then understood that this was someone who asked him to meet at the old tavern he went to most often, although he did not identify himself, but there were not many people who could know that Zhao Rui often went there, and even he had already guessed who it was.

After Ming Yunpeng took out the fire fold and burned the note, he said slowly: "Has anyone from the Imperial City Division approached you recently?" ”

Zhao Rui still didn't know that Yun Peng blew up the powder magazine, otherwise he wouldn't have doubted Yun Peng's loyalty, because Yun Peng was also one of the few guards who knew everything about him.

However, after realizing that Zhao Rui's face was wrong, Yun Peng misunderstood Zhao Rui's thoughts.

looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else in the hall, so he knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "Your Highness forgives me, I went to blow up the powder magazine of the Imperial City Division, because the situation was too urgent at that time, and I didn't have time to discuss it with you, so I made my own decisions, please punish Your Highness."

Listening to Yun Peng's words, Zhao Rui couldn't help but be stunned, he had thought that Yun Peng would actually do such a big thing behind his back, judging from Yun Peng's usual behavior, he didn't need to ask to know that Yun Peng's purpose in doing this was to distract Gao Yu's influence on him.

Thinking of this, while being moved in my heart, I was also a little ashamed, I shouldn't doubt this loyal guard, but I was moved to be moved, but I didn't show it on my face.

Stretched out his hand to pull Yun Peng up, and said in a deep voice: "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

"In addition to me, there are Xing Laohu, Shi Xiaozi, Fan Cheng and Lao Duan, what's wrong Your Highness? But someone checked the door? ”

Yun Peng reacted quickly, and when he saw Zhao Rui's eyes flickering, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Zhao Kai asked me to go to Tianxianglou for a banquet and tasting calligraphy"

Hearing Zhao Rui say the words "Tianxianglou", Yun Peng immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

His face changed suddenly, and he said: "I remember, two days ago, Lu Qian invited me to drink with Shi Boy, I didn't go for a while, Shi Boy went by himself, because they had all worked as an errand in the Imperial City Division, so I didn't think much about it, could it be..."

Although Yun Peng didn't say any more, Zhao Rui was already sure that Lu Qian had taken the information from his side, and then reported it to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, who was in charge of the Imperial City Division.

It doesn't matter who betrayed it now, the important thing is that it must not happen again in the future, and Zhao Kai must be given a warning.

Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Find a reason to trick Lu Qian out, and then... I heard that this guy is very skilled, and he doesn't need to use a real gun with him."

Yun Peng nodded and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the villain knows what to do, just Shi Boy?" ...”

Yun Peng and the four guards knew the most about the inside story, and at the same time, they were like brothers, and he really couldn't bear to ask him to attack Shi Boy.

"If you can make sure he keeps his mouth shut, then watch it out! By the way, when you go out, invite Sect Leader Lin over."

Those who abandon me, the people of yesterday cannot stay, but if Zhao Rui says this by himself, it will be too ruthless, it is better to let Yun Peng make his own decision.

If there is no explosive powder magazine, it may be better to say that he lost his head, and I believe that Yun Peng can also realize this.

Yun Peng nodded solemnly, and then Shi Li walked out.

Zhao Rui called Lin Chong to come to the old tavern with him, the handwriting on the note that Yun Peng took just now was crooked, and at a glance, he knew that it was not from the hands of literati, and the first thing Zhao Rui thought of was Lu Zhishen.

The great monk has been gone for more than ten days, and it is almost time to have news, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen have a deep friendship, so they brought him with him, and Lin Chong can also be his bodyguard.

But I didn't want Lin Chong to come in yet, so I saw the long history recommended by Xu Jiang wandering in.

"I've seen Your Highness!"

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Jia?"

This person's name is Jia Feng, in his forties, with a sanctimonious appearance, it is said that after the officialdom was unsuccessful, he has been idle at home, usually does not talk much, and spends most of his time in the public house prepared for him by Zhao Rui, and he doesn't know what he is doing.

Zhao Ruiken left him, which can be said to be completely for the sake of General Xu's face, because he is only a county prince's mansion, and he has not opened a government, so he doesn't need any long history at all.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to borrow some silver from His Highness"

Listening to Jia Feng's words, Zhao Rui couldn't help laughing, when he arrived at his house, he didn't do anything, he had already advanced his salary for three months, but he didn't expect him to borrow money again, when his money was blown by a strong wind?

"How much does Mr. Jia need?"

Zhao Rui is a highly educated person, and he is generally very cultured, and he speaks softly.

"Not much, 10,000 taels"

10,000 taels is not much, can you have a face? Looking at Jia Feng's harmless smiling face, Zhao Rui had the urge to rush over and step on his feet.

"No problem, but Mr. Jia has to tell me, what do you want so much silver for?"

"Your Highness, forgive me, I really can't tell you this"

Jia Feng still looked extremely calm, as if Zhao Rui owed him silver, and he deserved what he wanted.

Zhao Rui was almost choked by Jia Feng, and he opened his mouth to say, "You get out of here!" ”

But when the words came to his mouth, he nodded and smiled: "No problem, go to the account room to get it!" If 10,000 is not enough, 20,000 will be paid."

After listening to Zhao Rui's words, this time Jia Feng was stunned...
