Chapter 165: It's as simple as silver

The first and second leaders of the dignified shadow agency, taking advantage of the strength of the wine, broke the neck of an unknown spy, and the captive who was finally captured alive finally succeeded in killing him with the concerted efforts of the two...... It's not glamorous.

After Fang Zheng and Wen Sen woke up, they looked at each other with a little confused, and then glanced at the dozens of shadow subordinates around them, one by one, they forced back their smiles, trying to keep a straight face, and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, which made Fang Zheng a little annoyed and angry.

"Ahem,...... No one is allowed to say anything about today's affairs, this is a state secret, violators, silence! Fang Zheng said viciously.

"Yes, yes, whoever says it will die!" Vincent nodded vigorously, expressing extreme support for Fang Zheng's decision.

Glancing at the unlucky spy lying on the ground who had lost his breath, Fang Zheng sighed: "I originally planned to catch someone alive and go back for interrogation, alas...... Whoever carries him away, don't throw him on the street and frighten the people, and by the way, write down his appearance, and see if you can find useful clues to find out who sent this unlucky bastard. ”

Everyone responded in unison, Fang Zheng called Wen Sen aside and asked in a low voice, "Have you noticed that the atmosphere in the capital has been wrong these days?" ”

Vinson's eyes widened: "Your Excellency has noticed it too?" My subordinates have always thought it was their own delusion, and I always felt that it was a little strange in the capital recently, but I couldn't say what was strange, it turned out that the adults had already noticed it......"

Fang Zheng smiled proudly: "Of course, so no matter when and where, you must maintain a high degree of vigilance to the surrounding environment, if the wind is not in the right direction, you have to run away immediately." How else to say that I am a leader and you are a subordinate, do you know why? ”

Vinson immediately remarked, "Because adults are more far-sighted than their subordinates." ”

Fang Zheng patted him on the shoulder approvingly: "Yes, very promising, I will be promoted in the future, I will definitely promote you well." ”

Then Fang Zheng ordered in a low voice: "Send a few capable men to find a way to infiltrate the homes of officials above the second rank in the DPRK, collect intelligence, and find out what is going on in the capital recently." - I don't need to tell you how to collect it? You're more professional than I am. ”

Vinson complied.

After the order, Fang Zheng ordered everyone to disperse and returned to the house by himself.

After resting for a few days without wind and waves, Fang Zheng lived a leisurely life of a rich young master for a few days without leaving home.

Vincent had already begun to secretly recruit people, and he strictly followed Fang Zheng's instructions to try to select the kind of people with ordinary looks and good qualifications among the commoners, these people came from all walks of life, including students from academies, merchants and merchants, Tulang who traveled from village to village, and thieves and thieves who were imprisoned in prison cells. Even buying and selling with each other to discuss cooperation, the whole camp has become a mess like a vegetable market. Vinson has been having a lot of headaches lately.

In order to realize the idea of establishing an ancient special forces, Fang Zheng transferred a hundred elite sergeants from Feng Qiudao's Shenwu Army and sent them to the training camp, and asked Feng Qiudao to send troops to surround the newly built camp.

Since then, the shadow agency's spy organization has finally taken shape, and the members who have successfully graduated from this camp will be special talents with various skills such as espionage, assassination, interrogation, and stealth. Whether it is investigating officials internally, suppressing rebellions, or spying on military intelligence externally, assassinating high-ranking enemy generals, and so on, they will all play an important role.

But now Fang Zheng has a problem, that is, he can't find a good teacher to teach those newcomers how to fight. He knew that the shadow subordinates in the past were like thieves when they were on a mission, and they were found to be dead either to flee for their lives. This is not what Fang Zheng wants, after all, what he wants to train is a group of elites who can probe and kill, not a group of sneaky subordinates. - How can a special soldier who kills the enemy invisibly be equated with a thief who steals a manhole cover in the middle of the night?

In ancient times, although there were many people who were proficient in martial arts, but I don't know what was going on, all dynasties, no matter whether the person in power was a bright monarch or a faint monarch, whether the world was prosperous or troubled, the folk martial arts practitioners seemed to be always on the opposite side of the imperial court, as if the purpose of their martial arts was to be ready to pull the flag and rebel at any time.

This kind of psychology is not easy to explain, people with martial arts must feel that they are a capable person, and the imperial court has always believed that "chivalry is forbidden by martial arts", this sentence has caused the dissatisfaction of many martial artists, but no matter how capable a person is, he can't fight the huge state machine, so for a more powerful existence than them, it may be understandable that people who practice martial arts are jealous.

Wen Sen secretly visited many martial arts masters and knights in the capital who did not go out of the mountains, and when others heard that they were working for the imperial court, they all politely excused themselves, and when Wen Sen reported to Fang Zheng with a bitter face, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

What do these ancient practitioners mean? Just teach a group of apprentices, eat and drink well and take silver, teach well, maybe you can mix an official, from now on a wife and a son, the scenery is decent, shopping in the green parked carriage, the little guy doesn't dare to ask you for a tip, don't do such a good thing, stupid? Now that all the people are recruited, everyone is waiting for the instructor, where can I find an instructor for them?

Fang Zheng sighed heavily, it had only been a few days of leisure, and the matter came again. Why don't I ask Midori to teach them? No, my wife is delicate, how can I put her in the middle of that dirty and smelly old man? Although Young Master Ben is great, he is not so great as to be great.

After sending Wen Sen away, Fang Zheng frowned and walked towards his small courtyard, distressed as he walked, where to find a teacher?

At this time, only a few dull sounds of "poof, poof" were heard, which interrupted Fang Zheng's thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw that the killer brother was practicing his flying knife in the courtyard.

About thirty steps away from the killer brother, there were a few straw men, the killer brother was holding a few flying knives the size of fruit knives in his hands, but he didn't aim at them, he shook his hand and threw them out, the flying knives seemed to have eyes, and the knives hit the throat of the straw man, and they threw one at a time.

Fang Zheng secretly said, if all my subordinates learn the killer brother's flying knife stunt, let alone find out the intelligence, even if the general chrysanthemum is inserted in the million army, it is not like playing. No matter how bad it is, when you can't get along, you can at least bang a few gongs on the street, hold a money field if you have money, go home and get money to hold a money field if you don't have money, and then blindfold yourself and play with a flying knife to shoot apples and support yourself, how good......

It's a pity, Fang Zheng begged the killer brother last time, and he didn't say anything about it, and people with ability were always very pulled, which is why Fang Zheng has been approachable since he crossed over,—— except for being handsome, he felt that he had nothing to drag.

With a flattering smile on his face, Fang Zheng planned to try again to convince the killer brother.

Rubbing his hands, Fang Zheng leaned in front of the killer brother and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow! Brother Killer is so powerful! I adore you so much! ”

The killer brother glanced at him coldly, "...... Hypocrisy! ”

After speaking, he turned around and continued to practice flying knives.

Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly: "Brother Killer, hehe, are you busy?" How about the little brother discuss something with you? ”

Seeing that the killer did not react, Fang Zheng deliberately emphasized again: "It has something to do with silver." ”

As soon as he heard that it was related to silver, the killer brother's movements immediately stopped," he said. ”

"It's the same thing I told you last time, teach my group of unsuccessful subordinates some fighting techniques......"

The killer brother didn't wait for Fang Zheng to finish speaking, then shook his head and said, "Don't talk about it." ”

"For ...... Why? "If you don't agree, forget it, it's too rude to not let people finish speaking, Fang Zheng is a little unhappy.

"Not interested." The killer's brother's answers are always concise and to the point.

Fang Zheng understood a little at the moment. The people he knows who really have martial arts, except for Xiao Lu, is the killer brother, after a long period of contact, Fang Zheng also vaguely knows some of the so-called rules of the rivers and lakes, people in the martial arts pay attention to a "broom self-cherishment", no matter how bad their own things are, they are also passed down from their ancestors, so they have to hide it in the safe at home, if anyone wants to learn, it has to pass a series of tests, not only to pass five levels and kill six generals, but also to cut down the ultimate boss, and then to officially apprentice to learn art, Fang Zheng doubts that the killer brother also has this idea.

"Do you want all my subordinates to kowtow to you and apprentice to you? It's not good, their chief scoop is the emperor, the emperor will be unhappy when he knows it......" Fang Zheng was embarrassed.

The killer brother gave him a strange look: "Who said I want them to apprentice?" ”

"Then why don't you teach?"

"I don't like places with a lot of people."

The co-author of this killer uncle turns out to have autism and likes to work part-time as an otaku at home. I don't know if this time in the Fang Mansion has made him too comfortable, this killer uncle is a bit unearned, and he eats and waits for death. How do you look at it, it seems that this killer is more like a gentleman than me, and the young master, I, an authentic and time-honored gentleman, run errands for the country and the people all day long, and I am so busy that my feet don't touch the ground, why?

Suppressing his grief and indignation, Fang Zheng smiled and said: "I can give you silver, a lot of silver, think about it, white flowers, bright and shining, one ingot and one ingot, one lump and one lump, how tempting......"

The killer brother still seems unmoved.

Fang Zheng continued: "...... In fact, I know that a peerless master like you looks at fame and fortune very lightly, and the so-called false fame and wealth are like floating clouds in your eyes...... So I'm embarrassed to always talk to you about silver, that seems how vulgar we are, I can only say that you are cultivating elites for the country and the nation, with your help, the people of our Hua Dynasty can live a more solid life, well, so it seems that we are much more noble...... What is the saying? The great man of chivalry, lawless, ahem, it doesn't seem right, the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people......"

The killer brother interjected coldly: "How much?" ”

Fang Zheng replied without raising his head: "More than five hundred, not many people ......"

The killer's brother said impatiently, "I'm asking how much silver you give?" ”

Fang Zheng was taken aback: "Huh? Belch...... You promised? ”

The killer brother nodded: "The old rule, give money first and then do things." ”

Fang Zheng was a little disappointed when he heard this, he agreed so quickly? Dude's ideological work has just begun, and it's still unfinished, and the killer is too unqualified, why don't you be hypocritical for a while......

Then Fang Zheng was overjoyed, this guy agreed, Young Master Ben saved a lot of worry, and there was no need to find instructors for that group of subordinates all over the world.

“…… A thousand taels of silver a month, how? Fang Zheng said tentatively.

"Two thousand a month." The killer's brother also raised the price mercilessly, like his throwing knife.

"Deal!" Fang Zheng agreed very happily this time, anyway, he spent public money, and he didn't need to pay out of his own pocket, so he didn't feel distressed about spending it.

"Hey, why did you change your mind all of a sudden? Didn't you just say that you weren't interested? ”

"Silver." Two words burst out between the killer's brother's teeth.

Fang Zheng sweated profusely, wasted half a day of saliva, and the silver moved him, he knew that I was still talking nonsense to him, and he would just get it if he hit him with silver as soon as he came up.

“…… I thought it wasn't just silver. ”

"If you think too much, it's as simple as silver."

............ "Look at this virtue of dying for money, vulgar!"

Rolling his eyes, Fang Zheng smiled and said, "...... You told the public that you got a salary of 3,000 taels of silver a month, right? ”

The killer brother frowned and said, "Why? ”

"Uh...... The little brother follows you to get clean, you take 2,000, I take 1,000, you eat meat, I drink soup, everyone gets rich together, and they go to a well-off ......"

-----------------------------

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Fan Rui stood quietly in front of the prince and respectfully reported the preparations for the flower viewing party.

The prince listened quietly with a smile on his face, and his eyes flashed from time to time to show that his mind was no longer on the topic that Fan Rui was talking about.

Interrupting Fan Rui's slightly wordy report, the prince suddenly asked, "Has the lonely teacher been moving these days?" ”

Fan Rui said in a deep voice: "Lord Pan has not left the house for the past few days, and four days ago, for some reason, the entire Pan Mansion was completely closed, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, according to the news from the people sent by His Highness to lurk, there was an assassin in the Pan Mansion four days ago, so Lord Pan closed the door of the mansion and was searching for him, and I don't know if the assassin was caught." ”

The prince smiled, sighed and said: "This lonely teacher, it seems that he is really old, and he is getting more and more unable to hold his breath, hehe, those who become great things must plan and then act, if they don't understand this truth, what awaits him is only failure, and there is no other way." ”

Fan Rui said carefully: "Your Highness, can we do something in the middle?" Why don't you fish in troubled waters......"

The prince interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand: "Hehe, no, Lone has to wait for him to do it first, and then Lone will do it again, the so-called fisherman profiteers are not stupid sandpipers, but fishermen know how to make a move at the most appropriate time, and the time is not yet ripe." ”

"But the emperor ...... there"

A bit of complexity flashed in the prince's eyes: "Then it depends on whether the lonely father is really as wise and martial as the ministers praise every day." ”

The prince's tone was gloomy and cold, like a cold wind blowing in the cold winter, which made people shiver and shiver.

Fan Rui was stunned, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to come out. But he sighed in his heart, His Royal Highness has been waiting too long to sit on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, Your Majesty, since you are old, why don't you let it sit for the prince? Since then, he has been in the harem to get grandchildren and enjoy his old age, won't the world be peaceful?

Fan Rui's thoughts drifted far away, and the prince's question pulled him back: "Find a way to find out, which general in the army has been in frequent contact with Gu's teacher recently, and what letters have been exchanged, this matter must be investigated." ”

Fan Rui was puzzled: "Your Highness forgives your sins...... Lord Pan's mansion is now surrounded like an iron bucket, the mansion is heavily guarded, the spies really can't help it, His Royal Highness sent into the Pan Mansion a few years ago to lurk, now in the Pan Mansion are still just some inconspicuous small characters, they can't get close to the core area of the mansion at all, and the security there is even tighter......"

A trace of anger flashed in the prince's eyes when he heard this: "This little thing can't be done, what are you doing with them?" Kill a few of them and see if they have a way! ”

Closing his eyes, the prince said heavily: "Lonely's strength is still not enough!" The teacher broke Lonely's big deal, too fast, it would be nice if I gave Lone an extra year to prepare...... What have Fang Zheng's shadows been doing lately? ”

Fan Rui was stunned and hurriedly said: "It is said that it is said that it is starting to recruit people, it seems that it is going to be a big job, and the shadows have all been arranged by Fang Zheng into the newly built camp to act as instructors and train newcomers." ”

The prince sighed: "It's a pity, if this power is in Lone's hands, how can it be like a tiger with wings......"

Fan Ruiqi said: "The shadows are just some spies who inquire about the news, and there are only a few dozen people, why does His Highness value them so much?" ”

The prince sneered: "Don't underestimate these dozens of people, if these people are in Lone's hands, they can be worth thousands of troops, do you know that my father has not been out of the palace these years, no matter how big or small the things in the world are, but they are all clear for what?" Thanks to the shadows! ”

As he spoke, the prince's face showed a look of indignation, his fists were clenched tightly, and the slender and delicate finger joints turned pale due to excessive force, and he slammed the armrest of the chair, and his voice was full of resentment: "Hate! Hateful! Lone is the eldest son of his father, and he is also the prince of the country, why did his father favor one over the other and hand over such an important weapon of the country to the son of a lowly businessman? What did Lone do wrong? Why is it so unfair for my father to treat orphans? ”

Fan Rui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly fell to his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, rest your anger, stop your anger!" It is not appropriate to make such impulsive remarks at this time, Your Highness thinks twice! ”

The prince was suddenly shocked, and then looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one heard it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a forced smile: "Thank you Mr. Fan for reminding me, the lonely party is depressed and difficult to release, so he lost his temper, and I hope Mr. will not be surprised." ”

Fan Rui didn't dare to do it.

After a moment of silence, the prince spoke, with a bit of coldness in his voice: "For the shadows, I want to find a way to catch them in my hands, these people are all rare talents who can find out intelligence, they are experienced and have a lot of methods. Lone needs them at this time. During the flower viewing party, Mr. Lao Fan arranged for Fang Zheng to meet with Lone, and Lone had something to discuss with him. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured."

------------ the following does not count as money-------------

The readers and friends in the group all said that they had to keep changing tricks to ask for a monthly pass, and I was still very immature in this regard, and I didn't know how to change the tricks,—— anyway, there were only so many postures I knew......

No matter what tricks, all the brothers who have not voted for the monthly ticket in their hands, don't hold it, it's early to vote, my voice is hoarse here, why hasn't the number of monthly votes been moving?
