Yang Ben'an looked at the blood stains and corpses on the ground, and there was no reaction on his face. After a moment, he looked up and asked, "Who is it?"

He asked very surely, the sea has been up and down for many years, and he knows that since this person dares to assassinate, the corpse must be clean; When he saw that I was so indifferent, he also knew that I must have a number in my heart, so he didn't say anything about the detours, and came up straight to the point.

I sat opposite him and turned the long sword of the man in black upside down, and handed the hilt to Yang Ben'an. He took it solemnly, looking at the texture of the hilt. After a while, he frowned, and motioned for Qinglian and Yuhe to go out first, and the two of us were left in the house, and Ye Buregret, who was full of guilt.

Seeing the door closed, Yang Ben'an said in a low voice: "Qilan, I worked in the Department of Manufacturing in the early years, and the texture of each of these objects has rules. Give me your knife! ”

He stretched out his hand to no regrets, and without saying a word, he untied his saber and handed it to him with both hands. Yang Ben'an took it, glanced at it, handed me the handle of the knife, pointed and said, "Look! The pattern of this winding thread is three positive and one negative, which is a typical military system. ”

I took a closer look, and as he said, the non-slip winding wire on the handle was indeed three sets of horizontal lines and one set of vertical lines. Whether this is the military system or not, I haven't studied it seriously before, but presumably Yang Ben'an, as the governor, as my comrade-in-arms in one of the trenches at present, will not and should not lie to me.

I nodded, and handed the knife back to me without regrets. Yang Ben'an picked up the sword of the man in black, looked at it carefully, and handed it to me: "Look, this sword is two positive and two negative!"

I took it and looked at it, and Yang Ben'an continued: "There is a fire mark of the Jiangnan Weapons Factory on it, so it shouldn't be fake." It's just that these two positive and two negative ......" seem to have an unspeakable meaning.

I said with a straight face: "Brother Tai, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Yang Ben'an nodded, looked at me and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xian, have you ever offended Dongchang?"

My brow twitched twice. East Factory?

Dongchang, also known as the Dongji Detective Factory, was a privileged supervision agency, a special intelligence agency, and a secret police supervision agency in the Ming Dynasty. This notorious institution, which was established by Ming Chengzu in the eighteenth year of Yongle and headed by a close eunuch, was the earliest national special intelligence agency in the history of the world, and at its peak, its branches even reached as far as the Goryeo Peninsula.

The headquarters of the East Factory is located next to the Donghua Gate of the Beijing Division, and the West Factory and Jinyiwei are side by side, collectively known as "Factory Guard", but the actual power of the East Factory is still above the Jinyiwei, and it is only responsible to the emperor, and it can supervise the arrest of subjects at will without the approval of the judicial organs, so as to open the end of the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason for the establishment of this organization is mainly based on the fact that Zhu Di illegally overthrew Emperor Jianwen's faction by force in the Battle of Jingjing, ascended the throne in Nanjing, and changed the Yuan Yongle to Emperor Yongle for the Ming Dynasty. However, there were many objections in society about the legitimacy of the Yongle clan. On the one hand, rumors that Emperor Jianwen was not dead appeared from time to time, and on the other hand, many ministers in the court did not support the new emperor very much, and Zhu Di also distrusted the ministers of the court.

In this case, Zhu Di felt that the Jinyi Guard located outside the palace was not very convenient to use, so he decided to establish a new institution.

In the process of Zhu Di's army, some eunuchs and monks made great efforts, such as Zheng He, that is, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, and the monk Daoyan, so in his mind, he felt that eunuchs were more reliable than courtiers, and they were in the palace, so it was more convenient to connect. So Zhu Di went against Taizu's ban that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in political affairs and reused eunuchs.

However, I am sure in my heart that it will never be Dongchang! The reason is very simple - Dongchang is currently completely under the control of Feng Bao, and Feng Bao is Zhang Juzheng's absolute political friend, and he will never do such an act of destroying the land of Qingzhang and killing me as a pioneer.

So I looked at Yang Ben'an and said firmly: "It's not Dongchang!"

Yang Ben'an seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he said in a slightly relaxed tone: "Since the virtuous brother also said no, then it must not be!" I also think that Dongchang's words are unreasonable. So, this man ...... Brother Xian, do you have any suspicions? ”

I looked at Yang Ben'an fixedly, and Yang Ben'an also looked at me fixedly, with clear eyes. My heart moved, this time I cleared the land, I formed a friendship with Yang Ben'an, maybe I will make another gesture in this matter, when I can pull Yang Ben'an to our side one step further!

So I whispered, "There is indeed a suspicion!"

Yang Ben'an nodded, he was very satisfied with my attitude. In order to show sincerity, Yang Ben'an said: "That's it! Brother Xian, you and I both hold the pen and write that person's surname in the palm of our hands, how do we compare? ”

I laughed and said, "Very good! Brother please! ”

Without regretting handing over the brush, I dipped some ink and wrote a word in the palm of my hand. When I looked up, Yang Ben'an also wrote. We looked at each other and said, "Come!"

When the palm was raised, I saw that there was a big "Zhang" character written on his palm, and on my palm, there was also a big "Zhang" word!

This Zhang refers to Zhang Siwei, the current scholar of Wuyingdian University, the young master of the country and the prince and the prince. He is Gao Gong's favorite general, and he is currently the main political enemy of the first assistant Zhang Juzheng.

Yang Ben'an can write this character, which shows that he is very clear about the current situation, and he knows better who he is facing. Seeing me write this letter, he knew that I was also open and honest with him, and he was more devoted to him.

He looked at me and said, "I guess this result is not far away, even if it is not hit!" It's just that the enemy is strong, how do you deal with it? ”

I had an idea in my heart, and I said to Yang Ben'an: "This corpse is still useful, please ask my brother to embalm it and keep it properly!" I'll be the first assistant to the tantric music in this matter! As for myself......"

I turned my head to look at Yang Ben'an, and said in a deep voice: "I am going to Jiaozhou to investigate and deal with Xue Bian's private retention of a large amount of land to avoid taxes!"

Yang Ben'an's brows furrowed together, and he muttered: "Since the other party has another one, how do you know that there is no one and another?" Brother Xian, it's safer to stay in the mansion, but when you get to the county, isn't it just giving thieves an opportunity to take advantage of? ”

I knew that he was worried about my safety, and his heart warmed, and he whispered: "Brother Tai, what I'm afraid of is that they won't come again!"

Yang Ben'an raised his eyebrows, then understood, and sighed: "Brother Xian is really a master of art and bold!" But you still need to be cautious! ”

I nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, brother!" If the little brother goes, he will be able to catch his tongue alive! ”

Yang Ben'an said: "If this is the case, the brother is willing to work with the virtuous brother to start this matter to the saint!"

I know that Yang Ben'an is an upright person, and he did this not because he wanted to attach himself to Shousuke, but completely out of a righteous understanding of the matter! I had to protect such a person, so I smiled and said, "Never! Brother! ”

Yang Ben'an said curiously: "What must not be?"

I replied, "It's just a matter of playing together!"

Yang Ben'an said angrily when he heard this: "Are you a timid person when I am Yang?"

I looked at him and said, "Brother Tai, the younger brother just thinks that you are upright, not inclined to inflammatory, not flattering, not seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so I want to leave a spark for Da Ming!"

Yang Ben'an heard this, thought for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Shoufu...... Well, I see! The virtuous brother is noble, and the foolish brother keeps it in mind! ”

After that, we discussed some details and went our separate ways.

The corpse, Yang Ben'an asked his cronies to take it and properly dispose of it. I sent an unrepentant letter with my handwritten letter and rushed to Jingshi overnight to report to Shousuke, including some of my thoughts.

He came with me to keep me safe. I didn't expect him to find out when I was assassinated! I feel guilty in my heart, and I won't leave anything!

I told him that at this time, he is the only one who can be trusted, and only he can send this letter! And I've secretly dispatched the Nine Demons to gather most of the ninja and spread them around secretly to keep them safe and catch the thieves! And the kite is even dressed as a maid to protect me.

In this way, he agreed without regret and promised to return as soon as the letter arrived. I smiled and told him not to worry, remember two points: First, be sure to personally deliver it to Shoufu and get a reply. 2. Don't take the big road.

In order to ensure his safety, I also asked the Nine Demons Masataka to send two newly acquired ninjas to accompany him to prevent accidents.

I don't regret leaving. I myself rushed to Jiaozhou in the early morning of the second day with the staff of the political secretary, with only one nominal purpose: Xue Bian was assassinated, the matter is being strictly investigated, and the suspect Kong Shangxian has been controlled. However, before Xue Bian's death, he once said that he had a large amount of land, and the court suspected that it was privately embezzled, and Kong Shangxian also vigorously reported the matter.

In order to return the innocence of Yang Wuhou Xue Biansheng after his death, a special inspection team was sent to Jiaozhou, and it was necessary to clear and accurate, how much land the Xue family had!

A group of more than 20 people went to Jiaozhou in a hurry. When he arrived at the ground, he didn't give the Xue family a chance to react at all, and immediately made an announcement, in order to restore the innocence of the Xue family, block the gossip of idle people, and send a special messenger to clear the land of the Xue family, if anyone dares to obstruct it, they will be punished according to the crime of bullying the king!

This time, it completely blocked the space for the Xue family to move. The Qingzhang manual had already descended into the ground at noon. Our officials followed and went around.

Judging from the one-day visit, the overall progress was relatively smooth, and the people on the land of all parties were also very cooperative. Until the sun was about to set in the afternoon, something happened!

It turned out that the Xue family saw that the official name could not stop Qingzhang's own land, so they spent money to hire dozens of hooligans from the town, and when they saw the work team, they rushed up, grabbed tools, obstructed verification, and kept saying that the landlord still owed them money, and they were not allowed to clear the land if they did not pay it back. The workers asked, how much money they owed, and the leader Wang Ergou Dao owed five thousand taels of silver.

The workers could not solve the problem, so they came to me, and I smiled at this, and asked the county lieutenant to take a hundred soldiers and lead me to the field.

At this time, I took off my official uniform and changed into civilian clothes, and when I got to the front, the hooligans were still making trouble. I motioned for the officers and men to disperse and surround these dozens of hooligans.

When the hooligan saw this situation, he was immediately a little frightened, but after receiving the money, he didn't know who was coming, so he still shouted, saying that the officers and soldiers were bullying others, and they also let their younger brothers roll around and play tricks.

I walked forward with a smile, came to Wang Ergou, and said with a smile: "Silly big man, do you know that you are going to lose your head by doing this?"

Seeing that it was a small young man, Wang Ergou said to himself: "It is natural to repay debts and money!" You doll, get away, don't hurt you, your adults will trouble again! ”

I laughed and said, "If you hurt me, my family will need your dog's head!"

Wang Ergou heard this, looked me up and down a few times, and saw that I stepped forward alone, without a guard, and dressed very ordinarily, just a doll who didn't know the height of the sky, and pushed me with a smile, and said loudly: "Your adult is here, I will fight the same!"

I took a step back, pointed at Wang Ergou and said, "Rebel King Ergou!" Words attack the Qincha and insult the saints of today, and the sin cannot be punished! Come on! Take down all the people and the others! Those who disobey will be killed! ”

The surrounding soldiers hugged together, and this gang of splashes panicked, shouting that the officers and soldiers had killed someone! Officers and soldiers have killed! Those sergeants hated these hooligans in their hearts, so they didn't care about this, they came up and grabbed one of the two, and immediately tied them up!

In a moment, dozens of hooligans knelt on the side of the road with their hands behind their backs. I walked over and said to Wang Ergou with a smile: "I am a Qincha, boy, the adult of my family is the saint of today, do you still want to fight?"

The Wang Ergou turned pale with fright, and said to himself: "I don't know who you are!"

I bent down, patted him on the cheek, and smiled, "Say, who asked you to come?"

Wang Ergou said in his heart, so far, he can only be stubborn, so he gritted his teeth and said: "It is true that they owe me money!" No one directed! ”

I stood up with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What a man!"

Looking back at the sergeant behind him, he said, "Wang Ergou bullied the king, and he will be killed on the spot!"

The sergeant's knife was raised high, and when Wang Ergou saw that it was true, he shouted: "I said! I say! ”

When the sergeant hesitated, I said coldly, "It's late! Kill! ”

The saber fell, and there was a red glow!
