Chapter 121: The Mole in the Rivers and Lakes
Han Ruzi recognized Cui Xiaojun's handwriting and understood the meaning of the letter
The border war is chaotic, the palace is prepared, the husband should write to ask for war, and he must not take risks.
"There is preparation in the palace", what is prepared is not "border war", but a conspiracy planned by the Cui family, so she advised Tihou to "never take risks".
It was impossible to write too clearly about a letter forwarded by a stranger, so Han Ruzi held the letter in his hand and asked Martha, "No one came back with you?" ”
Ma laughed and said: "There is a kid who wants to go with me, I didn't agree, and he quietly follows me, who am I?" A little dizzy in the city, out of the city into the wilderness, a few circles to get rid of him. ”
Martha was triumphant, but Han Ruzi couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that Martha came back so late in order to get rid of the tracking.
Han Ruzi had no choice but to blame himself for not being clear about his original order, and turned around to look, Chao Hua and the others had already entered within a hundred steps, and a person next to him was wearing a tattered monk's robe, which was the mad monk's baredom.
Han Ruzi walked towards the boat by the water, and the King of the East China Sea ran to the front to stop, "What are you going to do again?" At this point, you can't change your mind. ”
"The Queen Mother has taken precautions, and there is no hope of success in this uprising."
"Ha, the Queen Mother is on guard, isn't the Cui family not? You don't have to worry. ”
Han Ruzi was even more worried, and said coldly, "Get out of the way." ”
The King of the East Sea shook his head and refused to give way, "What is needed at this time is courage, you think too much, do too little, and someone else has to make decisions for you." ”
The king of the East China Sea beckoned, and more than a dozen volunteers gathered over and drew their swords in their hands.
The king of the East Sea sent thirty guards. Secretly summoned some helpers. There are many and miscellaneous people who have come to the riverside village in the past two days. Even Chao Yongsi, an old fisherman who has lived on the shore of the lake for a long time, can't tell where everyone comes from.
Han Ruzi took a few steps back, and also beckoned, those real volunteers ran one after another, Ma Da was bare-handed, but he was not afraid at all, and roared at the people opposite.
There were still some volunteers on the tidal flats who did not move, twenty-seven or eight people, all looking at Lin Kunshan.
Lin Kunshan previously claimed that there were twenty martial arts masters in the village. Or deliberately say a little less.
Among the three parties, Han Ruzi's side had the largest number of volunteers, but the combat effectiveness was the weakest, and many people didn't even understand what was going on, and whispered to each other.
The king of the East China Sea said: "Mr. Lin, you can't stand aside and watch the play, you must choose a side to support." ”
Lin Kunshan said with a smile: "Everyone is in the same boat, and they should work together, and if you want me to say, don't worry, King of the East China Sea." Your Majesty should not back down, at least give a reason. Master Shine has arrived. Just to make it clear. ”
The mad monk was dressed in tatters, but there was no madness on his face, his big sleeves were fluttering, and he stood outside the circle and glanced left and right, but there was a sense of pride, "What's the matter?" If you haven't started an incident yet, do you want to kill each other first? ”
Han Ruzi believed in Cui Xiaojun, even more than he trusted Yang Feng, once he confirmed that the Queen Mother had taken precautions, he immediately felt that there were signs of many things, and the situation was urgent, so he couldn't help but think carefully, stretched out his hand to the team of the mad monks, and said loudly: "There are traitors among you!" ”
Han Ruzi's gaze swept quickly, he had deceived a spy among a group of defectors, but this trick was useless at the moment, there were not many people brought by the light top, plus he had a total of thirteen people, all of whom were well-known figures inside and outside the capital, and they all looked at each other, all of them showed surprise, but no one showed panic.
Chao Hua and more than a dozen others were real volunteers, and as soon as they found out that the situation was wrong, they immediately ran back to Han Ruzi's side, adding some strength to him.
A person beside Guangding sneered: "Let's carry our heads to the emperor, but the emperor suspects that we have two hearts, this deal is really cost-effective." ”
Guangding raised his hand to signal everyone to stay where they were, strode forward, nodded to Lin Kunshan first, stood a few steps away from Han Ruzi, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty still remembers me." ”
"Of course."
"Am I a mole?"
Han Ruzi was silent, he didn't believe anyone now.
Those characters in the rivers and lakes have fried the pot, Guangding has a high status in the rivers and lakes, doubting him is tantamount to doubting everyone, they originally came with the idea of helping the emperor, they were arrogant, different from those desperate volunteers, one by one they sneered and spat on the ground.
The most anxious person is the king of the East China Sea, offended these people in the rivers and lakes, Jingbei can't get into trouble, can't lead the northern army, and it is even more difficult for the southern army to quickly capture the capital, he raised his arms and said in a loud voice: "Everyone calm down, listen to me." ”
The light top did not squeak, and the others quieted down.
The King of the East China Sea stared at Han Ruzi hatefully, and had to speak for him: "Your Majesty thanks you for coming, you are taking risks, Your Majesty is taking greater risks, and you can't help but feel a little nervous in your heart......"
Han Ruzi was indeed a little nervous, but the reason was different from what the King of the East China Sea said, and asked Guangding: "In the past year, have the rivers and lakes been calm?" ”
This question was inexplicable, and the King of the East Sea shut up and quietly motioned for the guards to come closer.
Guangding was also stunned, and thought for a while before saying: "Fortunately, some people are rich, some people are ruined, some people are alive, some people are dead, and there are a group of people who are not self-sufficient, they want to share their worries for the court, and they want to do something for the people of the world. ”
Han Ruzi pretended not to understand the sarcasm in the mad monk's words, if it was in normal times, if there were not so many people around, he might still be able to calm down, but now he was only thinking about how to convince the mad monk and the others as soon as possible.
"The King of Qi rebelled and was defeated, how many people were arrested by the imperial court? How many people were killed? Han Ruzi asked loudly, the topic changed too abruptly, no one answered, he said himself, "At least 20,000 people, many of them are from the rivers and lakes." ”
Han Ruzi looked at Lin Kunshan, most of the rivers and lakes who were arrested were related to the Qi Seeker.
"Last year's palace change, the people of the rivers and lakes participated, and the Qi Seeker Bu Yu is still in prison, and the whereabouts of the ghost hand Gui Yuehua are unknown."
Han Ruzi closed his mouth and looked at everyone, a few people understood what he wanted to say, but they may not recognize the hidden conclusion, Han Ruzi's eyes fell on the mad monk again, and he came to his senses. All you have to do is convince this one person.
Han Ruzi clenched his fists and arched his hands. "Please forgive me for my rudeness. The master has been in hiding from the world for many years, and he will never betray his fellow people in the rivers and lakes, and please think about it again, has the imperial court ever been so magnanimous and does not blame the rebels in the past? ”
Guangding didn't speak, and a Jianghu man he brought with him said loudly in the back: "That's not right, we didn't participate in the palace change last year, why did the court arrest us?" As for the ghost hand Gui Yuehua. Hasn't the imperial court been hunting him down? ”
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, Han Ruzi shook his head, his eyes still staring at the mad monk's bare top, "That's not the case, for the imperial court, the rivers and lakes are the whole, and dozens of people from the rivers and lakes are involved in the palace change, so the entire rivers and lakes have problems." It's like...... It seems that you are oppressed by the officials, and do you hate all the officials? ”
There were more people nodding.
Han Ruzi felt that he was about to succeed, "The imperial court thinks the same as you. There can only be one reason for the delay in attacking the Jianghu people. I'm getting to the bottom of it, and I'm going to catch you all. ”
Han Ruzi paused, "Do you still have an impression of Emperor Wu's extermination of the world's heroes?" ”
It was a few decades ago, Guangding and the others were still teenagers at the time, but their memories were extremely profound, and their words changed.
The King of the East China Sea stepped forward and said: "So this uprising must be successful, if this opportunity is lost, the entire rivers and lakes will wither for another ten years." ”
Han Ruzi explained for a long time, but was used by the king of the East China Sea, he hurriedly said: "To find out the details, you have to have someone in the know, the court has either planted spies in the rivers and lakes, or bought traitors." ”
Han Ruzi glanced at the people around the King of the East China Sea and Lin Kunshan, there were impostors in such a makeshift army, not to mention the Jianghu people who wanted to make trouble in Jingbei.
The king of the East China Sea only cares about one thing, "While catching the traitor, while causing trouble, do not delay." ”
The mad monk Guangding laughed and scolded all his life, and fell into contemplation for a rare time, and only said after a while: "There are hundreds of fellow Jianghu people waiting in Huailing County at the moment, once they decide to start an incident, they can gather the same number of heroes overnight, and at least ten times as many people......"
"That's enough." The king of the East China Sea preemptively said, "Jingbei and Jingnan started at the same time, and within three days, the major event has been decided, and the imperial court is ...... Your Majesty, you are all great heroes, even if the Queen Mother finds out your details, what can she do? ”
The king of the East China Sea was in a hurry, and even the queen mother said it.
Han Ruzi was about to speak, but Guangding suddenly burst out laughing, raised his hand and rubbed his bald head, "It's really troublesome, it makes sense for a monk not to ask about the world." ”
Guangding turned around and walked towards Lin Kunshan, "Let's talk about it, when you encounter this kind of thing, you are still smarter." ”
The two walked a few dozen paces away and talked in low voices, while the others stayed where they were.
The King of the East Sea asked, "Who gave you the letter?" Yang Feng? He is the queen mother's person, don't you understand? The Queen Mother had a premonition that something was going to happen, and she knew that she couldn't resist it, so she let Yang Feng be suspicious in order to delay time. I can't let you be fooled, the Cui family, the rivers and lakes, and these volunteers, have all bet on you. ”
Han Ruzi just wanted to persuade Guangding to say those words at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, his eyes swept around, and he suddenly saw a slightly impressed face among the Jianghu people brought by Guangding, "Are you Kuang Tailor from Sanliu Lane?" ”
The man was startled, "It's me...... Your Majesty remembers me? ”
When Han Ruzi first moved into the Tihou Mansion, he was besieged, and Kuang Tailor was one of the heroes of Luxiang "hired" by Yang Feng, when it was dark, Han Ruzi only had a vague impression, so he just recognized it.
"Of course I do." Han Ruzi smiled.
"I wasn't bought by the court." Kuang tailor defended himself, now is not a good time to make friends with the emperor.
"Of course you're not." Han Ruzi just hoped to win over one more person at a critical moment, and he didn't doubt him.
The mad monk Guangding and Lin Kunshan came back, and the monk was still rubbing his head, but he had already made up his mind, "Everyone is together, we can't die without a problem, in that case, we won't be able to walk on the rivers and lakes in the future." Incident, just at midnight tonight, please prepare for the emperor to ascend the throne again, it doesn't matter whether you remember our merits, I just hope that Your Majesty can think of the people of the world in the future. ”
Han Ruzi couldn't think of words of persuasion anymore, the King of the East China Sea breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Kunshan nodded to Han Ruzi, they had said before, they would hand over the King of the East China Sea to Guangding, and he would keep his promise.
Things had to go according to the original plan, but Han Ruzi became more and more uneasy in his heart, and was about to raise an objection desperately, when a person walked out behind him, "Wait, let's find out the traitor first." ”
"Who are you?" The East Sea King asked angrily.
The one took off the hat on his head and arched his hand to the mad monk Guangding, "The monk recognizes me, right?" ”
"Hey, don't die as a chef with two knives, even if I don't recognize it, I can recognize you with the scars on my body."
The two seemed to have a grudge, but they didn't care about their lives, and shouted loudly: "I know who the traitor is, stand up for yourself!" ”
Han Ruzi's head was about to get dizzy.
