Chapter 72 Make amends
The chaos caused by the chase and fire quickly subsided, and after the welcoming procession passed into the Linjiang Hou Mansion, the Xinchang Hou Mansion and the Linjiang Hou Mansion invited the team to perform a hundred operas also collected the stall and entered the Hou Mansion to receive the reward.
At this time, even if the climax of the wedding of the three princes and civilians outside the Hou Mansion had passed, the crowd on Fengxiang Street had dispersed one after another.
Through the gap in the window, Han Qian saw that Zhao Mingting had turned back with more than a dozen people, and there were many suspicious people along the street, which should be the secret room of the Privy Council.
Zhao Mingting's eyes were staring at the street on this side, and the spies who went to the street today did not see a similar or suspicious character escaping from the back alley of Fengxiang Street, which means that the suspect is likely to be hiding in the house building on this side.
However, Zhao Mingting, as the governor of the Privy Council, even if he has the right to search the enemy, but on the day of the three princes' great joy today, the neighbors on the left and right are either rich or expensive, and he obviously has no way to be too presumptuous, so he directly transferred a large number of soldiers to search the streets.
What's more, Zhao Mingting can't confirm which force the two suspects are hiding from, and what is the purpose of lurking in the crowd today.
He didn't even know if this was a trick set by Wang Wenqian for him, intending to induce him to disrupt the wedding of the three princes and muddy the waters in Jinling City to distract them from Chuzhou.
Looking at Zhao Mingting's gloomy look, Wang Wenqian smiled at this time, and surrounded by two followers, he took his daughter to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion first, and congratulated the third prince Yang Yuanpu on behalf of Chuzhou.
However, Han Qian and Yao Xishui were still trapped in the attic, and they didn't know how many secret rooms of the staff division were scattered around the left and right, without the cover of the crowd, and if they left rashly at this time, they would definitely not be able to escape from Zhao Mingting's fierce eyes.
Chai Jian did not return to the Hou Mansion of Linjiang, and continued to patrol the streets outside with the guards of the Hou Mansion.
He didn't know where Yao Xishui was hiding, and naturally he didn't know how to cover Yao Xishui's silent withdrawal under Zhao Mingting's eyes and nose, only that Zhao Mingting hadn't succeeded for the time being.
However, the kind of riot that happened just now was obviously deliberately done by someone, logically speaking, even if Chai Jian disdained to turn to Zhao Mingting for help, he should have sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion for reinforcements to send more patrols, but Chai Jian was just pestering Zhao Mingting at this time to create a chance for Yao Xishui and Han Qian to get out.
Han Qian looked at it and sighed secretly, the streets were full of secret rooms of the staff division, and Chai Jian was of any use to entangle Zhao Mingting alone?
Chai Jian's behavior will only strengthen Zhao Mingting's suspicions, and will only stimulate Zhao Mingting to want to find out what the identities of these two suspects are today.
Seeing that there were many suspicious people coming to reinforce Zhao Mingting, staring at the entire Fengxiang Street to the eastern city of the imperial city, Han Qian was also as big as a fight.
After two incense sticks, Han Qian saw Fan Dahei, Zhao Wuji and others riding horses and hugging a carriage, slowly passing in front of the building, Zhao Ting'er opened a corner of the car curtain, revealing a corner of a small face full of dirt, obviously after meeting with Fan Dahei, he couldn't wipe off the makeup on his face in a hurry, so he rushed back directly.
Zhao Ting'er saw the marks left by Han Qian on the eaves of the window, and did not take the liberty of letting Fan Dahei and them stop, but galloped directly to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion.
Han Qian breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Soon, I saw Li Zhihe take a group of people out of the Linjiang Hou Mansion, directly enter the rouge shop of Ningxianglou, and drive out the proprietor, shopkeeper and men inside in the name of searching for assassins.
Han Qian and Yao Xishui knew that it was impossible to go out quietly at this time, and they were able to blend in with the team of armor soldiers led by Li Zhihe, and they were already thankful that they didn't reveal their identities when they left.
Hearing Li Zhihe calling in the backyard next door, Han Qian wiped the makeup off his face, and wanted to pull Yao Xishui over the wall.
Han Qian wiped his hand on his face, as if rubbing off a layer of skin, and the whole person changed back to his previous appearance, Yao Xishui looked at Han Qian in a daze, and he didn't know what the mess that Han Qian casually threw into the drinking tank of this family was, and it could make Han Qian judge the two of them before and after, only the eyebrows and eyes could be vaguely distinguished.
Li Zhihe also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Han Qian and Yao Xishui coming over the wall, and asked, "It's really dangerous today, you are hiding next door, how can you attract Zhao Mingting's attention?" ”
He also knew how serious the consequences would be once Yao Xishui was targeted by Zhao Mingting, and signaled his subordinates to take two sets of armor clothes for Han Qian and Yao Xishui to change into.
"Luck, luck," Han Qian said, "If it weren't for the meritorious service of a dead dog, I could only count on Miss Yao to exert her might and fight her way out of the encirclement today." ”
"......" Li Zhihe didn't understand what Han Qian was talking about, and looked at Yao Xishui suspiciously.
"I'm slacking off today, if it weren't for Han Qian's help, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get out." Yao Xishui was still afraid at this time, and said in a muffled voice.
Although she is doing a good job of fighting her way out of the encirclement, except for the four guards around Zhao Mingting, who knows how many secret rooms are lurking in the shadows today, if she is really targeted, how easy is it to get out?
Han Qian was secretly proud, but after thinking about it, Yao Xishui said this, didn't he scold him for being the dead dog who made meritorious contributions?
Yao Xishui really didn't have the heart to turn around and scold Han Qian at this time, saw that there was a firewood room in the corner of the backyard, and took a set of armor clothes to go in and change it; Han Qian went directly to the courtyard and put on his armor.
At this time, I heard a shouting in the front shop, as if Zhao Mingting was going to bring someone in, but was blocked by Chai Jianqiang.
Li Zhihe did not hesitate, and motioned for someone to split the lock of the door in the backyard, so that several cronies surrounded Han Qian and Yao Xishui to leave from the back alley, and he was not afraid that the Privy Council staff guarding the secret room on the street dared to forcibly intercept the guards of the Hou Mansion for search.
After passing through the three alleys and confirming that there was no secret room of the Privy Council to follow, Han Qian and Yao Xishui got into the carriage where Fan Dahei and Zhao Wuji personally drove around the back alley of Mingshuifang to wait, and then went around to the back door of the guard camp of the Linjiang Hou Mansion, passed through the arrow field and the sandwich road, and entered the Linjiang Hou Mansion.
The wedding of the three princes, forty tables of banquets were set up in the front yard of the Marquis Mansion of Linjiang to entertain guests, and ten tables of banquets were set up in the backyard to entertain the ladies of each province.
Han Qian and Yao Xishui first walked into a side courtyard for the musicians and dancers of the Evening Red Mansion to prepare for the performance, and saw that Chun Shisanniang had also changed into a skirt at this time, and Su Hongyu, Chai Jian, Li Chong and others were here.
"How did you get noticed by this old dog Zhao Mingting?"
Li Chong is usually tall and bold, but he is also nervous and restless.
The Anning Palace and the prince's line, there are many civil and military officials who have joined the past, and there are also many descendants who have cultivated themselves, or ruling places, or holding military power, or echoing and transmitting information in the court, but Zhao Mingting is definitely one of the most core and powerful figures.
Li Chong couldn't imagine how serious the consequences of Yao Xishui being targeted by Zhao Mingting would be.
Han Qian shrugged, what the hell is going on, I believe that Li Chong and Li Zhihe will know better than him after they reflect on it.
In the past, the Late Red Mansion was completely lurking in the shadows, secretly cultivating power and power, and had a set of means of hiding and concealing, but from now on, the secret room cultivated by the Late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang, the vast majority of people will be officially incorporated into the Secret Cao Right Division, and there will inevitably be a considerable number of people who will surface, and the way of doing things will inevitably be different from the past.
They were not careful enough to consider this aspect, and they didn't expect that Wang Wenqian and Zhao Mingting would appear at the same time today, so that such a big flaw would be exposed.
More importantly, Yao Xishui's identity is special, and he is not suitable to preside over the secretary Cao Yousi for Chai Jian.
The Secret Cao Right Division should be used as a formal secret spy agency, many elite spies and secret spies are single-line contacts, and they can usually lurk in the shadows and wait for opportunities, and even internally, only a few people know about their existence, but the characters who really stand up to preside over the Secret Cao Zuo Division and the Right Division cannot completely hide their identities, at least not internally.
Not to mention the ordinary spies of the Zuo Division and the Right Division of the Secretary Cao Cao and the scribes who will also be used to deal with documents and analyze intelligence in the future, these people have limited loyalty, and they can't have much strict control means, and they are easy to be bribed by Zhao Mingting's side, or turn against the water, and there is even no guarantee that there will be a secret spy and scribe in the future, which will be infiltrated by enemy forces.
This is also destined to be the actual person in charge of the left division and the right division of the secret cao, and there will always be one person who will fall into the vision of the enemy party.
It's like Zhao Mingting is fully aware of the role that Wang Wenqian plays by King Xin's side.
With Yao Xishui's identity at this time, it is appropriate to participate in a key link of the Secret Cao Right Division, just like the Spring Thirteen Niang, if their identities are accidentally exposed or targeted, it can be said that they are the secret Cao Zuo Division and the Right Division who were lured or coerced to recruit them, but if they are used to preside over the Secret Cao Zuo Division and the Right Division, it will be difficult to explain.
Of course, on the one hand, it may be that Xinchang Hou Li Pu and them are not well considered, and on the other hand, it is more likely that Xinchang Hou Li Pu is also seriously short of key personnel who can use and know the core secrets at this time.
It's just these, Han Qian didn't want to talk nonsense to Li Chong at this time.
"Zhao Mingting was reminded by Wang Wenqian, and it is likely that he will send someone to Taowuji to spy on the situation of the cantonment military mansion, of course, Zhao Mingting may also ignore Wang Wenqian's words, but we can't take this risk," Han Qian saw Li Zhihe hurriedly come over and lurk him in front of Wang Wenqian and Zhao Mingting, and said to Li Zhihe, "Once the true situation of the cantonment military mansion is found out from the Anning Palace, it will inevitably link my father's departure from Shixuzhou and block it." ”
"Wang Wenqian's bad things for us are trying to shift the vision of Anning Palace to us?" Li Chong said with an angry frown.
Everyone is their own master, Wang Wenqian has no obligation to keep secrets for their side, Han Qian said it, not to hear Li Chong's indignant words, but to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible.
Li Zhihe pondered for a while, and said to Chai Jian:
"Your Majesty has already approved the decree of the Ministry of Officials, and it can be promulgated as long as the seal of the Ministry of Ministers is used, and it will be a matter of these two days. Chai Jian, you will leave the city immediately, and destroy all the suspicious people who have tried to infiltrate the military mansion in the cantonment camp in the past two days, and it should be delayed for a few days! ”
It is impossible to keep the situation in the cantonment camp military government hidden, but no one wants anything to go wrong in the past few days.
Although Han Qian also had people in his hands, without the permission of the third prince Yang Yuanpu and Changshi Shen Yang, he had no way to let Lin Haizheng and Fan Dahei lead people to block the passage in and out of Taowuji.
However, if Han Qian really wanted to tell Shen Yang the truth, the person who spied on the news might be a secret room sent by the Privy Council, so he didn't expect Shen Yang to acquiesce to them killing people and killing people.
At present, only Chai Jian or Li Zhihe can go over in person, and without Shen Yang's permission, they can directly order a group of people to block the passage and ambush the secret room of the Privy Council as an enemy.
