Chapter 307: Soldiers

"Are you saying that Song Xueqiao plans to kill me on the way to Shanxi this time?" Yang Zhen squinted at Xiang Ying in front of him, and his tone was not too surprised or surprised. The latter was dressed in black at this time www.biquge.info but if you look closely, you will see that his body is covered in dark red blood.

Just a moment ago, Yang Zhen was asleep when he suddenly heard a strange noise outside the window. When he woke up, he immediately got out of bed and went out to see what was going on, and he saw Xiang Ying, who looked different, standing outside the house, and when he looked at him, he knew that something important was coming.

And the first sentence of Xiang Ying's mouth did not explain the meaning, but "You will go to Shanxi in the next few days?" ”

"How do you know?" Yang Zhen was a little surprised, this matter was only known to him two days ago, presumably no one outside would spread this, everyone would only mention Zhong Yu at most, which was really a little strange.

"I forced this question from Song Xueqiao's cronies." Xiang Ying said and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that although he had promised Yang Zhen to be patient for the time being and not to seek revenge on Song Xueqiao, it was difficult to completely let go. Therefore, he has been secretly watching the movements of Song Xueqiao and Zhou Zhi. Before they left Beijing on an errand, he also secretly followed, but unfortunately he didn't find a proper disembarkation opportunity all the way.

And this time, Song Xueqiao did a lot of things soon after returning to Beijing, which made Xiang Ying have doubts, especially when he saw Zhou Zhi secretly meeting with some people outside the officialdom, which made him feel that there was something wrong. So tonight, he sneaked into Zhou Zhi's residence and brutally tortured him to extract a confession.

Therefore, the one who really understands a person thoroughly is often only his enemy, and the deeper the enmity, the tighter the stare at the other party. Because hatred is often a kind of existence that can inspire people's strongest fighting spirit.

Although Xiang Ying did not mention how he tortured Zhou Zhi to extract a confession, Yang Zhen could guess from the blood stains on his body that the process must have been extremely cruel. In this regard, he was not unhappy, and since they had done those things before, they had to bear the corresponding consequences. The only thing he was a little curious about was what Xiang Ying did after he was forced to ask the answer he wanted: "You still killed him in the end, right?" ”

Xiang Ying nodded as usual: "Yes, this is what he asked." As long as he tells the truth, I'll give him a hard time. With just this sentence, Yang Zhen could imagine how many ruthless methods Xiang Ying used on Zhou Zhi, so that the other party could only beg for death.

After sighing, Yang Zhencai said again: "Then what do you mean when you came to see me?" It's not just to warn me, is it? ”

"The warning is only one thing, on the other hand, I hope to go to Shanxi with you and find an opportunity to kill Song Xueqiao at the right time." Xiang Ying said truthfully, Yang Zhen should know his intentions, so there is nothing to hide.

Yang Zhen groaned, since Song Xueqiao wanted to deal with him, it was also a normal reaction for him to attack him in turn. It's just that they are all in the ranks of the Qincha, and it is not easy to kill people without being suspected in the presence of such a large number of people. And Xiang Ying in front of him only has one thought of revenge in his heart, is it really good to take him with him?

But if you don't agree to him, I'm afraid things will be more complicated. Xiang Ying is not his subordinate, it's not that he won't follow if he can't tell him. If he causes a bigger problem because he is eager for revenge, he will be more passive. Moreover, once he did not agree to Xiang Ying, the friendly and trusting relationship he had established with him would also dissipate, which was not what Yang Zhen wanted to see.

So after some weighing, Yang Zhen finally nodded: "Okay, I will help you blend in with the Qincha team that went to Shanxi this time, and I will help you kill Song Xueqiao with your own hands." However, you have to promise me one condition. When and how to kill him, you must obey my arrangement, and you must not make any claims! ”

Seeing that he agreed to his request, a trace of gratitude appeared in Xiang Ying's eyes, he was really worried that Yang Zhen would not nod his head just now. As for Yang Zhen's request, he can accept it: "Okay, I will definitely follow your wishes when I go to Shanxi." ”

Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "In two days, I will have someone send you Jinyiwei's clothes, and you can come to me when you arrive." "With his current status, it is not difficult to install a person as a brocade guard.

After sending Xiang Ying away, Yang Zhen returned to the house, but saw that Zhang Jingyun was still sleeping sweetly, obviously his actions outside did not alarm her. Looking at her tranquil appearance, Yang Zhen's heart warmed, and at the same time, he strengthened his determination to get rid of Song Xueqiao, because only in this way can he and his new loved one live the life they want to live with peace of mind, and they don't have to worry about someone calculating them every day.

Now that he has a clear purpose, Yang Zhen must start to make some corresponding preparations, and the manpower problem is the key to it. Although the imperial court sent some Qincha guards to them to use in Shanxi to quell the rebellion, as a person of Jinyiwei, he still had to bring some people who he had to use, and the only way was to select some people from the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Zhen's proposal to transfer manpower when he asked him to promise to take Song Xueqiao to Shanxi, Liu Shouyou was not a chicken belly person after all, and he did not deliberately make things difficult in this matter.

After Yang Zhen rushed to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division to make a request on this day, Liu Shouyou ordered someone to gather the personnel of the Zhenfu Division and the nearby thousands of households and hundreds of households, and then Yang Zhen selected them by himself.

Yang Zhen was quite satisfied with this, at least Liu Shou was not as shameless as Shen Zhuo who he had met in Hangzhou before, and he was still stumbling behind his back. It's just that after facing those brocade guards who said their intentions, Yang Zhen found that he still had a little miscalculation, because most people's eyes clearly showed fear and resistance.

He completely ignored one point, that is, folk rumors have no effect on people like him, but for ordinary Jinyi Wei, the impact is great. In their eyes, Shanxi is the Longtan Tiger's Den at the moment, and if you go, it is a matter of nine deaths and a lifetime, in this case, how many people are willing to take this risk?

Yes, the current Jinyi Wei is indeed much worse than before, and some people are complaining all day long, saying what they will do if they have the opportunity to get ahead. But after all, that's just talking, if you really want to gamble with your own life, most people can't do this. After all, no matter how bad it is now, the small life is still stable, in addition to the silver, there is always some gray income, which is enough to support the family. When this kind of stable life is accustomed, people naturally lose the courage to take risks.

Looking at the black crowd standing below, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at themselves after their eyes swept over, Yang Zhen felt a burst of annoyance and helplessness in his heart: "This is the root cause of Jinyiwei's decline now." Because life is still passable, they have long lost the courage to forge ahead, so they dare not fight with the Dongchang fan who rides on their heads! ”

Liu Shou on the side saw that this was the case, and there was helplessness in his eyes. As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, no one knows better than him what his subordinates are. Everyone said that he Liu Shou was incompetent, and he didn't dare to fight for anything, so he would only endure being a lackey of Dongchang. But they didn't know that they had no choice but to do it. There are some mud under his hands that can't support the wall, why should he fight with such a powerful person as Feng Bao?

Yang Zhen's deep gaze swept over the faces of the brocade guards in front of him again, and then said in a cold voice: "It seems that everyone has a clear judgment about going to Shanxi, and it must be an extremely dangerous journey, so I want to try my best to avoid taking this risk, right?" ”

His mind was broken by Yang Zhen's words, and the expressions of the brocade guards became very embarrassed, and those who were weak lowered their heads, not even daring to look at Yang Zhen again.

Yang Zhen exhaled and continued, "But in fact, you are wrong. The situation in Shanxi is not as dangerous as you think, there are still hundreds of thousands of defenders loyal to the imperial court, and the rebels are only a few thousand, do you think this rebel army will really make trouble there?

"We were ordered to go to Shanxi this time, not to quell the rebellion, not to fight those rebellious troops, but only to assist Zhong Yushi to find out the truth of the matter and try to calm the situation in Shanxi. If you feel that even doing this is dangerous, then I advise you to stay at home and do nothing in the future, because whatever you do is risky. ”

When the people heard him say this, they were somewhat convinced. None of them are stupid people, so they had that judgment before, but they heard from the people around them that there were more rebellions in Shanxi, and they formed a fixed thinking. And now as soon as Yang Zhen said it, they gradually came back to their senses and felt that things were indeed not so bad that much.

Yang Zhen saw the changes in their psychology, so he turned his face and said again: "And don't forget your identity." Who are we? It's the Son of Heaven's personal guard Jinyiwei! The imperial court gave us this identity, and gave us a lot of silver that was far thicker than that of ordinary soldiers, but it was not just for us to look at a few streets, or to bully and bully ordinary people! If you can't even show this courage to serve the country, it is no wonder that you will be despised by others and crushed by the people of Dongchang. The dignity of our Jinyiwei must be taken back by our own ability! ”

These words made many people's faces change, and they obviously touched their hearts. Seeing this, Liu Shouyou, who was on the side, was also moved in his heart: "I didn't expect that this kid not only has outstanding ability, but also his eloquence is far superior to ordinary people." He actually used the agitation method ......"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "I am willing to follow Yang Qianhu to Shanxi, and I will die without regrets!" "Someone finally stepped up......
