Not long after they came to the guest hall and sat down to serve tea, Lu Jin and the others heard a low cough coming in from outside, and then a slightly clumsy figure walked in slowly accompanied by the servant.

When he saw this man with a slightly yellow face, gray hair, no energy, and a few low coughs from time to time, Lu Zhen couldn't help but look surprised, and turned his head to look at Cui Heng, who came with him. But he found that the look of surprise on his face was even worse than his own, and he involuntarily stood up, stepped forward and said, "Brother Liao, why are you ......?"

"See Lu Dudu's ......" Liao Zhuokai was not in a hurry to talk to him, but took a step forward and bowed his knees. Seeing this, Lu Zhen hurriedly got up and stepped forward, and supported him: "Liao Tongzhi doesn't need to be polite, and sit down and talk first." As he spoke, he gave Cui Heng a look, and the latter also hurried over and helped Liao Tongzhi, who was a little trembling, to sit on the chair.

Liao Zhuokai didn't insist, sat down according to his words, and after thanking him again, he glanced at Cui Heng with a wry smile: "Brother Cui, do you think I'm pretending to be sick by not going to the Suppression Division during this time?" ”

"I'm ashamed ......" Cui Heng's old face turned red, bowed his head and arched his hand: "If I had known that you were indeed very sick, I should have come over to visit." What kind of illness are you, and why are you so emaciated after only two months? ”

He was indeed extremely surprised, because just two months ago, Liao Zhuokai was still a tall man with a tiger's back, but now he is so old that he is almost unrecognizable.

Liao Zhuokai glanced at Lu Jin, and saw that he was also curious, so he coughed and said, "Actually, my disease has been planted ten years ago. When he fought with the thief, he injured his lungs and left a hidden danger. It's just that when he was young, he could still hold down this injury, but he didn't pay much attention to it. But as I got older, the injury flared up more often until the summer of this year, when the condition became serious. That's why the lowly position will take leave with the yamen, but it's not because of you. This last sentence was said to Lu Jin.

"I see, but the official misunderstood you." Lu Zhen also said with some shame. He really didn't expect that the other party was really sick, and this illness was really not light. Thinking of this, he took out a wooden box from his sleeve, put it on the coffee table and pushed it over: "By the way, I didn't have any preparations for coming to the door this time, I only brought such a ginseng from the imperial gift, and I hope Liao Tongzhi will not refuse." ”

What he said was true, this ginseng was indeed given by the emperor. In the past few years, the emperor has rewarded him with a lot of good things, including many palace tonics. It's just that now Lu Zhen is in his prime, and his body is very good, so he doesn't need these at all, so he only stays in the warehouse. Because he confirmed that he would come to visit Liao Zhuokai today, he specially asked people to go back and get such a box of ginseng.

Liao Zhuokai glanced at Lu Zhen with some gratitude: "Since it is an adult's love, I will accept it with shame." After picking up the wooden box and handing it to his subordinates, he looked at the two of them with a smile: "Dudu, you two didn't come to visit me today, right?" ”

"Oh......" Because the other party is indeed sick and not cheating, it makes Lu Zhen and them a little unsure how to speak.

See the two

A little embarrassed, he smiled again: "Actually, it's nothing, and I understand what the governor is worried about." In the past few decades, I have been on an errand in the Zhenfu Division, and I haven't got anything else, but I just received some people's hearts, presumably those people have given you a headache, right? ”

Since he had spread out his words, Lu Zhen had no need to dodge, so he nodded lightly: "It is true that some subordinates were dissatisfied with me at the beginning, and they were still worried about Liao Tongzhi you." ”

"Huh...... Not to mention the embarrassment of such a humble position, even if I am not sick, it is impossible for me to take on such an important position. They don't know, but I understand, this position of commander of the brocade guard can only be assumed by a close person trusted by His Majesty, but I can't see His Majesty for a year, how can I reassure him? Liao Zhuokai smiled: "But you are different, Lu Dudu, over the years, you have always been His Majesty's most trusted courtier, and you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which is only beneficial to us." ”

"Liao Tongzhi has a reputation, and the official is just acting on orders." Lu Zhen said modestly casually.

Liao Zhuokai shook his head lightly: "The governor is too modest in what he said, even if you put aside your identity, just what you have done in the Zhenfu Division these days is far better than a person who will only rest on his laurels." I heard that after this exercise, the brothers in the Zhenfu Division have become much stronger than in the past, and their spirit and spirit are also very different, which is something that the lowly people can't think of. Therefore, the humble position has only admiration for the governor, and has no other thoughts, let alone resentment. ”

When Lu Zhen heard him say this, he looked into his eyes again, and found that he was indeed sincere, and he was sure in his heart: "It's just a practice method that I came up with on a whim, and it's not worth mentioning." However, Liao Tongzhi knows that you have worked hard in the Suppression Division over the years, and you are a model for my generation. I only hope that you will recover soon, and that you will be able to assist me when you return to the Calm Division. ”

"I'm afraid it's very difficult, my body knows by myself, after two months, I have become much weaker, I'm afraid I won't live long......" Liao Zhuokai sighed lightly, with helplessness in his eyes, and a trace of unwillingness.

"Brother Liao, don't say that, you are just over fifty, and you have always practiced martial arts, how can you ...... We have famous doctors in the capital, so we can invite them to come for treatment. Cui Heng hurriedly said comfortingly.

Liao Zhuokai didn't argue, only nodded, and looked at Lu Zhen again: "Governor Lu should have another purpose for coming here today." ”

Lu Zhen glanced at him, then he no longer hid it, nodded and said: "Yes, my Jinyi Wei has three powers: Tiqi, Imperial Prison and Secret Agent, and this last item is still in Liao Tongzhi's hands." The officer pondered, as a commander, I can't miss this part, right? ”

"Huh...... How can it be that such a lowly position has always been forcibly occupied? It's just that I was a little worried before, so I didn't order someone to send it to the Suppression Division. Since you have come to your door today, you should surrender your power to your humble position. As he spoke, he handed a look to his cronies, walked to the door with a knowing hand, took a three-foot-square wooden box from a servant outside, and put it in front of Lu Jin.

Lu Zhen glanced at the other party, obviously Liao Zhuokai had guessed their true intentions when they arrived

I got my stuff ready early in the morning. However, this matter is related to the safety of Jinyiwei, and Lu Zhen has no intention of refusing, so he immediately reached out and opened the lid of the box, picked up a book from it, and looked at it twice: "Is this the relevant roster of my Jinyiwei secret agent?" ”

"What is recorded in these books is the name and identity of the Jinyi Wei spy in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of my Ming Dynasty, as well as the relevant details of the location and contact information. Among them, more than half of them are in the residences and yamen of various important officials in Beijing, and the rest are distributed in the prefectures and counties of the world. The former would report the daily movements of the Beijing officials and the details of who they met with every three days, while the latter would not report information unless there was any important secret. There are relevant secret reports in this box in the past month...... "Because of the importance of the matter, Liao Zhuokai was particularly solemn when explaining the contents of this box."

And Lu Jin, after listening to this explanation, was also shocked. Although he knew that Jinyiwei was a huge spy intelligence agency, he didn't expect that its tentacles would spread all over the entire Ming Dynasty, and even ordinary officials in the capital were under his surveillance.

In the past, when Zhu Yuanzhang was mentioned in some books, a certain adult would be drawn and presented to the emperor when he sighed at home, or what he said at home, and it was far-fetched for the emperor to know it early in the morning, but now it seems that these stories are only slightly exaggerated.

Turning his mind, he subconsciously opened the book in his hand that contained the list of secret agents in the homes of the officials in the capital, and in a hurry, many familiar names were listed, including Yu Qian, Hu Hui, and even people in his own family!

When he saw this, Lu Zhen only felt a chill in his back, which was too terrifying. No wonder those courtiers always want to target Jinyiwei and do everything possible to suppress it, no one can stand to have such a group of terrible opponents around them who have mastered their every move.

After a long time, Lu Zhen came back from the shock and gently put the book back: "I didn't expect this secret agent system to be so huge, it seems that the burden on this official will be a lot heavier in the future." ”

"Governor, this is a capable person who works hard. In fact, under normal circumstances, the things reported by these people are trivial and trivial matters, and they are not worth investigating at all. Especially in the past few years, Jinyiwei is not valued by His Majesty at all, and these news have become useless. Liao Zhuokai sighed again.

Lu Zhen nodded knowingly: "I have really suffered you in the past few years." But don't worry, Jinyiwei's situation will be very different in the future. The official believes that there will be a day when these spies will play their role and make great contributions to the court and His Majesty. He was telling the truth, not just to comfort the other person. At least he, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, would make good use of this dark power to try to avoid the incident that would affect the direction of the Ming Dynasty's history.

Hearing this assurance, Liao Zhuokai and Cui Heng both had a look of longing flashing in their eyes: "If the governor can really make my Jinyi Wei regain his former style, I am willing to die!" ”

"This official will definitely not say such big things. Just wait and see! Looking at the roster of secret agents in this box, Lu Jin's confidence was much more sufficient, and his words were a little more affirmative.
