Chapter 190: Embattled (3)

Liu Zhibo left, but Chen Shiqi did not leave immediately. He took a long time to fill the tea on the table, drank a few more bubbles, and entered the Gong Institute to relax, and then Shi Shiran left the tea room.

His sedan chair did not walk through the streets and alleys like Liu Zhibo, but went directly to the south of the avenue, and in front of the road was the Huangcheng Dam and the Shu Palace.

I don't know what performances are on the dam of the imperial city, and the lively people are three layers inside and three layers outside, and the noise is even more sonic shock to the house.

The noise was in his ears, and Chen Shiqi frowned slightly. He didn't want to be blocked on the road by the small people, and he didn't want the people to see his true face.

The sedan chair man has followed the master for many years and knows the habit of the master who likes to be quiet or not. Without waiting for Chen Shiqi's orders, he carried the sedan chair into a westward alley.

Chen Shiqi thus lost the opportunity to watch a wonderful show.

……

Master Shu, the little eunuch, and the group of palace guards had long since disappeared without a trace. Only the scholars who played the leading role and the common people who acted as free spectators were left on the dam of the imperial city.

The scholars were divided into three divisions: eastern, western, and central.

There are more scholars in the east, as many as more than 100. Looking at the way they dressed, you can know that most of them are children of poor families.

There are slightly fewer scholars in the west, and the brocade clothes and jade belts at the head are surrounded by family members.

The number of scholars in the middle is the largest, as many as hundreds.

These three groups of scholars who play the leading roles are not all lupine scarves. Anyone has it when it comes to clothing and appearance: those with wide robes and big sleeves; those who have coarse linen and short clothes; There is a fragrant powder puff face; There are those who draw fan scarves; There are elegant and handsome ones. There are also those who are dressed up fiercely and viciously. The whole pot is a hodgepodge.

The east and west sides of the imperial city dam are opposed, and the saber is tense. The middle ones are impartial, and even build bridges to stir up fire and instigate trouble.

The leader in the east is Cai Shaoyun, who has just eaten a bowl of Yangchun noodles and recovered some physical strength.

Leading the way to the west was another young scholar. The young scholar didn't look bad, but his eyes were open, and everyone didn't know where he was looking.

It turned out to be a squint.

Squinted eyes stared at Cai Shaoyun, who didn't know who was beside him. He clenched his fists, and the new silk robe had been torn in half, hanging limply over his chest.

Cai Shaoyun, who was opposite the squint, was also embarrassed. Both shoulders of the garment were torn, revealing the white flesh inside.

The two of them were helping each other, and everyone was eager to try, waiting for the next move of their own general.

Master Shu retreated to the Duanli door, and without waiting for the sedan chair to land, he stomped on the sedan chair.

"What a sweep! Students fight on the streets, what kind of system they become! Passed out......"

"Master, it's a good thing for students to see this!" Zhu Pingjin smiled but didn't smile, "This son of the world is recruiting soldiers, and he is going into battle to kill the enemy." Let them fight and see their blood! ”

"It's just the reputation of my palace......"

"Don't worry, master, the students have already made arrangements. Li Mingshi, return to the Hall of Virtue. Tell Liu Mingsheng and let him act according to the plan! Zhu Pingjin took off the guard's armor and ordered loudly.

……

Zhu Pingjin returned to the Jinde Palace, and there was already a middle-aged eunuch Qin Yi waiting outside the hall. From the anxiety that was deliberately concealed on his face, it was obvious that there was something extremely urgent.

Zhu Pingjin got down from the sedan chair. While walking up to His Majesty, he beckoned to the Qin descendants.

Qin Yi asked to see him so urgently, which was the matter of Liu Zhibo and Chen Shiqi's secret meeting.

Before dawn in the morning, the group in charge of keeping an eye on Liu Zhibo found a man wearing a helmet covering his face looking around near the yamen. He shoved a letter through the back door and left in a hurry.

After waiting for about half an hour, Liu Zhibo's concubine opened the back door with a bamboo basket and was about to go to the street to buy vegetables, but found the letter and sent it to the second hall. Soon, Liu Zhibo went out in casual clothes. He didn't use the official sedan chair, but asked the old servant to call the curtain sedan chair for the top sedan chair.

The sedan chair went in the direction of Huangchengba, and the person in charge of monitoring followed it all the way, but found that he had met Chen Shiqi in a high-end tea room in Huangchengba. The two talked for less than half an hour, and Liu Zhibo returned to the yamen with a solemn expression.

"What did they talk about?" Zhu Pingjin asked a little nervously.

Maybe being a thief is weak, Zhu Pingjin subconsciously felt that this matter had something to do with him.

Since Liu Zhibo's arrival, Chen Shiqi has never had any unnecessary intersection with Liu Zhibo. At this time, there must be something strange about the sudden appointment. Moreover, according to the mystery of the way of the appointment, Liu Zhibo's solemn expression and other signs, this matter must be extremely important.

Could it be the chaos in Luzhou? Zhu Pingjin immediately denied it. Liu Zhibo is the commander of the Qin. What he wants to see, Liao Tycoon can't hide. Sooner or later, the news from Luzhou will be sent to the patrol yamen. There is no need for Liu Zhibo to meet Chen Shiqi secretly, and there is no need for Chen Shiqi to sneakily meet Liu Zhibo.

"What trick did I have that Chen Shiqi caught? Is it to protect the caravan or to surrender? Zhu Pingjin thought to himself.

Years of experience in officialdom told Zhu Pingjian: Chen Shiqi must have been prepared for his sudden exertion. If you want to land smoothly, you may have to go through a lot of work!

……

"Hui Shiziye, the slave is inquiring now!" Qin Yi observed his words and saw his master's worries. He hesitated for a moment, then added: "The people below reported that Chen Shiqi gave Liu Zhibo one thing!" ”

"One thing! What is it? How do you know? ”

"The man who watched the stalker knew the tea room guy well. He inquired about the private room where Chen Shiqi and Liu Zhibo were talking, and went to the opposite inn to look. The result was impartial, and I happened to see Liu Zhibo take a fold and lean close to the window to watch. Later, Liu Zhibo came out of the tea room, and pressed his right hand in the sleeve of his left hand a few times. It was clear that there was something in the sleeve of the left hand, and it was still very important. The slave maid asked carefully about the one who was watching, and he estimated that it was a submission or a recital. ”

"Submission?" Zhu Pingjin frowned, "It's Su Xiucai who is staring?" ”

"Yes." Qin replied softly.

"Has he changed his problem of abduction?"

"I guess he can't change it. This time the slave and maid rewarded him heavily. ”

"Not only to use him, but also to prevent him from selling the palace for money!"

"The slave has written it down."

"You've made a contribution this time!" Zhu Pingjin nodded to Qin. Qin Yi was recommended by Lao Cao's father-in-law, and he is indeed very capable, and he was born to be a spy leader.

"Can you see Liu Zhibo's study from your surveillance location?" Zhu Pingjin continued to ask.

"I can see it, but I can't see it clearly. A plane tree was planted in front of the window of his study. During this time, the leaves grew and were tightly shaded, and only the lights and movements could be faintly seen. The person walked out of the study and into the courtyard so that he could see clearly. ”

Zhu Pingjin tapped on the table and ordered, "You have to think about that thing." Is it a submission or a recital? What's written in it? This son of the world should know clearly. Is there any way you can get something? ”

Qin Yi thought about it, and then replied: "Liu Zhibo controls his subordinates very tightly, and they are not allowed to accept bribes, and the yamen is also heavily defended. The most difficult thing to do is that Liu Zhibo's family has few people. That concubine and servant are extremely honest, and there are not many places to start from people. The slave and maid observed for a long time and found that the only person who could enter and leave the second hall at any time was his concubine's room. Liu Zhibo's wife died early, leaving no half of the children, and this concubine gave birth to a daughter for Liu Zhibo, who is said to have been married......"

"Isn't Liu Zhibo the last one?" Zhu Pingjin interjected and asked.

"It doesn't seem to be." Qin Yi shook his head, "Liu Zhibo raised his son (nephew) Liu Wenyu since he was a child, and he is like father and son. Liu Zhibo had no children, so Liu Wenyu passed on to Liu Zhibo. I heard that Liu Wenyu is going to come to Chengdu in the near future, and it is even more difficult to do it when he comes. ”

"What then?" Zhu Pingjin was so anxious that he got up from his chair and walked around the office.

"The slave maid has figured out a way to get in......," Qin Yi said suddenly.

After listening to Qin's approach, Zhu Pingjin couldn't help but high-five. But instead of immediately ordering the execution, he continued to go around in circles in the office.

After half a ring, Zhu Pingjin finally made up his mind.

He adjusted Qin's plan: "Don't take fake ones. Hold the warrant of the prince to find the treasure and get a real one! If you don't do it, you don't do it. To do it, you have to do it all! The place was changed from Chengdu County to Huayang County! It's more normal to do this, and it's better to make the two iron mallets hard!

From today onwards, you are solely responsible for Liu Zhibo. In three days, the Son of this world will see that thing.

Chen Shiqi is in charge of the Intelligence Bureau. It must be 12 hours to deploy in all directions! You go out, and send a decree ordering Liu Mingsheng and Zhang Guangpei to quickly finish the matter of the Shu examination, and then come here.

Remember, you are a slave of this son, and you are only responsible for this son! Liu Zhibo's affairs, no one, including Liu Mingsheng and Zhang Guangpei, must not leak a word.

Violators will be killed! ”
