Chapter 40: Deceived
Chapter 40: Deceived
"Lord Liu, it's been hard all the way!" Just when the man was full of emotion, Chen Xiao, who was leading a group of subordinates, welcomed out of the city with a happy face.
Seeing that Chen Xiao was also dressed in the same cloth clothes as himself, Liu Shouyou couldn't help but smile and said: "This Brother Shen, let's do this for the convenience of the road, Lord Chen, how can you, the Tongzhi Lord who is sitting in Nanjing City, also dress up like this, is he too careful, the latest chapter of the Nine Heavens Tyrant Blood!" ”
Chen Xiao smiled: "Lord Liu laughed, Lord Shen said that this matter is just a private communication between him and the emperor, and before there is no clear news in the court, it is better to be cautious in everything, so as not to alarm some small people in the court and cause trouble to the emperor!" ”
Liu Shouyou laughed: "What is causing trouble to the emperor, I'm afraid he wants to wait for the moment when the truth is revealed to give those people a big surprise!" ”
"Lord Liu's eyes, I really can't hide anything from you!" Chen Xiao smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, please, it is inconvenient for Lord Shen to come to greet you, but I have prepared a banquet in the mansion, saying that I want to have a big drink with you."
Liu Shouyou laughed: "Okay, let's have a good drink with him today, brothers, follow Lao Tzu into the city and eat big households!" ”
"My lord, Zhao Ziming asks to see you!" In a small inn in the middle of nowhere, the subordinate walked into the house excitedly and said.
Song Qingyang, who was anxiously waiting for the news, looked overjoyed, and opened his mouth and said, "Hurry up, please!" But before his subordinates could respond, he changed his words and said, "Wait, he found it himself!" ”
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" The subordinates were about to go out to find a way to find him, but unexpectedly, he went straight up to say hello, which brought him! ”
"That's it!" Song Qingyang pondered, but he really didn't see that this bag had a wide range of ways to inquire about Zhao Ziming, and he was able to take the initiative to come to the door.
"You say, will he already know the identity of this official!" Song Qingyang frowned and asked, once his identity is known to Zhao Ziming, no matter what kind of use value he has, then this person will not be able to stay.
The subordinate frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "He shouldn't know yet, when he came, he just said that he wanted to meet the gentleman who entrusted him with his errands, and he didn't mention your name, and the last time you met him, there was a curtain in the middle, and the light was dim at that time, so it was impossible for him to see your appearance clearly!" ”
Song Qingyang nodded slightly, if this is really the case, then it is easy to say, the identity of this subordinate is extremely secretive, this is the person that Gonggong Feng has secretly cultivated over the years, and in this world, except for himself, even a few stall leaders in the East Factory do not know.
And all along, it was this subordinate who came into contact with Zhao Ziming, and now although Zhao Ziming is looking for it, the biggest possibility is that this subordinate was found by him when he was looking for his traces.
"That's better, you let him in first, and then the official will test it!" Song Qingyang commanded, turned around and went into the back room to dress up.
"Hahaha, the eldest brother came from afar, and the younger brother is rude!" Shen Chongming greeted him out of the gate and looked at Liu Shouyou, who had turned over and dismounted, with a happy look on his face.
"I said Brother Shen, didn't you build a big mansion by yourself, this is ......" Looking at the small face in front of him, Liu Shouyou couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Hehe, outside the city? Take the eldest brother to take a look tomorrow, maybe it won't be in a while! With a smile on his face, Shen Chongming was inevitably a little distressed in his heart, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! That's not it.
Liu Shou was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Your reinstatement is imminent, and it is probably impossible for the rebels to occupy your mansion!" ”
"Hehe, big brother look high!" Shen Chongming laughed, took Liu Shouyou's arm and walked inside: "The wine and food are ready, let's talk while drinking, and the younger brother will tell the elder brother about this counterinsurgency plan!" ”
The folds on Liu Shouyou's face laughed: "Look at your anxious appearance, it's no different from the three years of military men who saw their girls, hahaha, surrender obediently!" ”
The two brothers walked into the mansion under the support of a group of subordinates, but they scared out the souls of several spies who had been wandering nearby, and Shen Chongming was still alive.
Taken aback, everyone didn't dare to stay longer, and immediately gathered together and hurried back to report the news, the leader ordered, and if there was an abnormality in the Guogong Mansion, it would be reported immediately, this Shen Chongming was still alive, and it must be the biggest abnormality.
"Now that the rebels are strong, with only the current strength of the imperial court in Jiangnan, it is impossible to quell them in a short time, if you want to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop, the only way is to find a way to lead them to one place, and Nanjing City is this place!" Shen Chongming said with a smile, already looking like he was in his chest.
Liu Shouyou nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "Brother Xian, I'm afraid I don't know, the current rebel army has more than 300,000 troops, and when the time comes, it will be overwhelming, and if you want to be wiped out in one battle, I'm afraid it's impossible!" ”
"Ordinary means are naturally impossible, but as long as the weapons are sharp, the little brother is confident that 100,000 soldiers and horses can defeat the rebels!" Shen Chongming didn't do it either, and stood up and gestured.
"Brother I'm afraid I don't know, a few months ago when the younger brother was still in Hubei to clean up Zhu Yiluan, Mr. James returned from the ocean and brought back a powerful artillery, originally the younger brother wanted to gather skilled craftsmen to imitate, and then arranged the Great Wall to deter the northern frontier, but unfortunately there are many good things, and someone put a downcast Nanjing City, this matter was delayed, but now it seems that Saiong lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing, so let this group of rabble who are not taught to taste fresh!"
"There really is such a sharp weapon in this world, and there is no fear of 300,000 troops, and you can't go down with one shot, and the 300,000 rebels will be wiped out!" Looking at Shen Chongming with a smug expression, Liu Shouyou was a little bad.
This cannon has seen it himself. Although a single shot is enough to blow up the flesh and blood of several people, 300,000 horses may not be able to kill them all in a year!
Shen Chongming sneered: "The effect of this ashes is really nothing, but with great power, these rebels who have never seen a big scene will naturally be unbearable, and at that time, they only need to ambush a few elite troops outside the city to take advantage of the chaos to kill, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to defeat the rebels!" ”
"I said, Brother Shen, since you have such a sharp weapon, why have you kept it secret, if this is the case earlier, how can the traitors of the Wuwei Sect be rampant now!" Liu Shouyou pretended to be unhappy and asked.
Shen Chongming was not in a hurry, but sat down and ate a mouthful of food: "Big brother, Wuwei has been able to gather 300,000 people in less than two months, why do you say this!" ”
Liu Shouyou smiled: "What's this?" Our Jinyi Wei has been investigating and dealing with Wuwei for five years, and it has cost so much manpower and material resources to make inch, which shows its power, they can gather 300,000 horses in a short period of time, but it is also reasonable, alas! What a pity! This can be regarded as a great shame for our Jinyiwei, you and my brother have the trust of the emperor! ”
As he spoke, the smile on Liu Shouyou's face disappeared, replaced by depression and guilt, after all, the emperor has never blamed him, how can he forgive himself in his heart.
Shen Chongming still had a smiling expression, but there was more resentment in it: "Although the Wuwei Sect is deep-rooted, but under the suppression of my Jinyiwei over the years, there has been no great development, especially in the development of the sect, the younger brother sent someone to investigate a few days ago, and the people who followed the Wuwei Sect to rebel are mostly people who have no livelihood, big brother, you say, who harmed the people's livelihood has not been settled, so they can only risk losing their heads to follow the Wuwei Sect to rebel!" ”
Liu Shou hesitated for a while, but he also understood who Shen Chong's famous words were referring to, and when he thought of this, he could only nod in agreement: "Yes!" Zhang Juzheng misled the country, but he was also an accomplice in this matter, but now he is at the end of his rope, not only does the emperor no longer believe it, but even the hundreds of officials in the court have a lot of complaints about him, but the eldest brother thinks that this person is ......"
Speaking of which, Liu Shouyou is embarrassed to continue, after all, Zhang Juzheng framed Brother Shen, and praised him for serving the country in front of Brother Shen, which is really a little unspeakable, mother, the beauty has laid down the latest chapter!
Shen Chongming's eyes were like torches, and when he saw that Liu Shouyou, who was very arrogant in the past, had changed like this, he knew what he wanted to say.
"The eldest brother wants to say that Zhang Juzheng is dedicated to the court, but the means are inappropriate!" There is no need for Liu Shouyou to say, Shen Chongming directly said it for him.
Liu Shouyou smiled and said: "Actually, this is what the emperor said before my brother left Beijing, if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense!" If it weren't for this, you should have done such a big thing, and the emperor would have ignored him now? ”
"It is undeniable that Zhang Juzheng is indeed a beneficiary of the imperial court, but his change is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, doesn't the current situation also confirm this?" Shen Chongming asked, "What about this person?" It's just that he is arrogant, and he always wants to press his little brother, hehe! ”
Seeing that he suddenly laughed again, Liu Shouyou was a little puzzled: "I said Brother Shen, my brother looks at you like this, it seems that he doesn't hate Zhang Juzheng!" You must know that you quit the court and lived in Nanjing City, but he Zhang Juzheng did it single-handedly, aren't you jealous at all! ”
"Officialdom has been like this since ancient times, as a person in officialdom, who can avoid failure!" Shen Chongming shook his head and said: "Although this Zhang Juzheng's methods are a little despicable, his character is not bad, and he didn't kill the younger brother when he fell behind, so whether he is jealous or not hateful, he can't talk about it at all, but the little thing that the little brother has worked hard over the years has been completely ruined by him in just a few months, and the little brother hates him to the core!" ”
Looking at Shen Chongming's expression of gritting his teeth at the end of his speech, Liu Shouyou couldn't help laughing: "Brother, the emperor didn't mistake you, come, do one!" ”
"Mr. Zhao, this is your 6,400 taels of silver tickets, and I will send someone to contact you if I have something in the future!" After testing for nearly half an hour, Song Qingyang finally determined that Zhao Ziming did not know his identity, and Shen Chongming's death was also greatly affirmed by Zhao Ziming.
So the heart of love for talent rose again, and he happily took out the silver ticket, not to mention, but also gave birth to an olive branch, with such a person by his side, who to deal with in the future, but it will save a lot of effort.
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Zhao Ziming slowly picked up the silver ticket and said with a smile: "This is natural, if Mr. has any dispatch in the future, just tell the villain!" ”
"Hehehe, Mr. Zhao is polite, let's just get rich together!" Song Qingyang said loudly, trying to create himself into the image of a big man.
Zhao Ziming felt a burst of contempt in his heart, made a fart fortune, and when you cried later: "Sir, now that Nanjing City is full of Jinyi Guards, the villain will leave, if there is a send, you can send someone to the capital to find the villain!" ”
is so cautious, Song Qingyang is extremely satisfied, this is the person who can do the job! "Okay, I'll send it from afar!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ziming didn't delay any longer, turned around and hurried away, Shen Chongming's life could be noticed at any time, so it was better to leave this dangerous place quickly.
When he arrived at the door of the inn, he saw several people rushing in in with panicked expressions, Zhao Ziming's steps suddenly accelerated, something was wrong!
"What? Shen Chongming is still alive,! Listening to the subordinate report, Song Qingyang was dumbfounded, and stood on the spot for a while.
"My lord, we have been deceived by this bastard surnamed Zhao!" The subordinate said angrily, he was played with in applause, and he was angry.
"Bastard, why don't you hurry up and chase after Lord Ben, kill him and get back the silver ticket!" Song Qingyang was furious, wow, yes, yes,
