Chapter 756: Old Enemy
This sudden change made the situation in the entire city of Guilin suddenly tense. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and all this is naturally more pressure on the people, the government has arrested many people one after another, no one knows whether it will be their turn next, and they can't understand what the basis for the government to take people is.
Although the shops in the city are still open, and the gates are more tightly watched than before, they are still free to enter and exit, but the streets are noticeably less crowded than before. Even if there was a reason to go out on the street, people were in a hurry, especially when they passed by those yamen, and they kept their heads down, and they didn't even have the courage to look that way.
It was under this circumstance that Xu Chongchuan returned to Guilin. In Sicheng Prefecture, he finally got things done, killed Cen Shaoxun and his eldest son Cen Yunhan, and put Cen Yunmo in the position of the head of the Tusi, thus completely taking the power of the entire Sicheng Prefecture in his hands.
As long as the White Lotus Sect does something at that time, Sicheng Prefecture will follow closely and then send troops to follow. Now, the number of people and horses located in Guangxi that they can control has reached more than 10 roads, and when the time comes, they can make the land of Guangxi burn everywhere.
But Xu Chongchuan also knew that whether the situation in Guangxi could be completely controlled by the Holy Sect this time was actually more critical in Guilin City. Because this is the most critical place in the whole of Guangxi, and the most important yamen and officials of the imperial court are here, as long as they can take Guilin in one fell swoop, and then control a few important routes to leave Guangxi, then the whole Guangxi will be completely controlled by the Holy Religion. Then go west to open up contact with Sichuan, and then extend to Guizhou and other places, and the entire southwest of the Ming Dynasty will be in their hands.
This is a big game of chess, except for Yang Yinglong of Banzhou, this Guilin City is the key to the success or failure of the whole plan. But just a few days ago, he suddenly received news that Guilin, which had always been calm, suddenly had a change, it seemed that the local government had discovered some clues, and began to guard it strictly, and also picked up many people who promised them to start an incident and put them in prison.
In this way, Xu Chongchuan naturally couldn't sit idly by, so he hurriedly left Sicheng Prefecture, which was already under control, and quickly came to Guilin.
Fortunately, although Guilin looked like an undercurrent was surging at the moment, at least the city gate was still open, and although he was carefully searched, there was no problem, so that he could enter the city smoothly.
Driving the horse to the door of a small courtyard in the west of the city, which was not too conspicuous, Xu Chongchuan turned over and dismounted, and knocked on the closed courtyard door according to the agreed code. A moment later, the door opened, and a handsome man in plain clothes with a sad face let him into the courtyard.
If Yang Zhen was present at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize the identity of this son at a glance. That's right, "he" is the White Lotus Sect woman who has fought with Yang Zhen several times. Although it has been a few years, her appearance has not changed much, but as she grows older, she has become more charming than before, even if she is dressed as a man now, she can make people's hearts pound.
"Second brother......" As soon as the door was closed, Yin Shuirou called out eagerly.
Xu Chongchuan didn't mean to reminisce about the past, and immediately looked at the other party: "Sister, what happened in this city, why did it become like this?" ”
In the past few days, Xu Chongchuan had been active in this place, and it was during that time that he persuaded many Tusi leaders here to respond to the actions of the Holy Sect. And now, the small town, which was originally very loose and peaceful, is suddenly heavily guarded, which will inevitably affect their overall plan for the future.
Although even if the government is wary, the people of their White Lotus Sect will not be too afraid, and they will still move. But other people are not necessarily, especially those toast masters, if you get things going well, they will definitely help, but once something really goes wrong, I'm afraid these guys will shrink back.
And the target is the entire Guangxi, and even the entire southwest of the Holy Sect, but they still need to use the names of these toasts to expand their own strength, but they must not support it.
Yin Shuirou sighed and said: "I was also defenseless for a while, and I actually let that guy enter Guilin, and I also found King Jing to pull the strings from it, so that many officials in the city began to take action." Those Tusi officials were weak in their hearts as thieves, so they couldn't play a role at all, and they could only watch many people being arrested by them......"
"That guy?" Xu Chongchuan looked at his sister-in-law with some doubts, not understanding who the person in her mouth was, could it be that his sister-in-law still had some relationship with people in the court?
Seeing that the elder brother looked at him with a puzzled gaze, the pretty face of the soft voice was slightly red, and he did take it for granted, and he felt that the brother of the guy he identified should also think of it. After tidying up his sideburns to suppress the throbbing in his heart, he said, "It's that Yang Zhen of Jinyiwei." He had ruined the good deeds of my Holy Sect many times before, but I didn't expect that this time we were doing business in Guangxi, and we collided with him again. ”
"What? Is it him? Why did he come to Guangxi? Three consecutive questions were raised from Xu Chongchuan's mouth, which shows how much this matter has had a big impact on him.
Indeed, in a sense, Yang Zhen and the Jinyi Guards he led have almost become the nemesis and heart disease of these people of the White Lotus Sect. Starting from Zhejiang, every one of their plans ended in failure because of Yang Zhen's sudden intervention. Especially after the time in Beijing and the time in Shanxi, the White Lotus Sect was targeted and attacked by the imperial court one after another, and lost a lot of manpower.
It is precisely because they can't get along in the Central Plains and other places that they will shift their focus back to the southwest where they originally made their fortune, and think of taking advantage of the complex terrain and the current situation of various ethnic groups to make a big disturbance.
Originally, after several years of planning and preparation, everything was on the right track, and it was about to come to fruition. Although something went wrong in Banshu before, the news leaked out, but they weren't too worried about it.
How slow the Ming court was in certain matters, they knew too well as enemies. Only such a less accurate news, even if it will be noticed by the imperial court, by the time they really discuss the result and send officials to deal with the matter, they will have already occupied the whole of Guangxi.
But now it's only been less than a month, why did the people of Jinyiwei appear in Guilin? And it's still the big boss of Jinyiwei who should stay in Beijing now, what the hell is going on? Did he have the ability to be an unpredictable prophet and expected that the Holy Sect was going to start an incident here, so he rushed to destroy it early?
If this is the case, then the well-intentioned planning of the Holy Sect will really be completely ruined in the hands of this guy.
After sighing again, Yin Shuirou said in a faint voice: "This time it's a coincidence, he just came to Guangxi to find someone, so he appeared here." Moreover, he also made a move at Pingle and pulled back the prefect Qu Feng, who had just been controlled by us. ”
"What?" Xu Chongchuan's face changed again: "The eldest brother is in charge over there, he didn't suffer any losses in the hands of this guy, right?" ”
Hearing him mention Xu Chongshan, Yin Shuirou's eyes showed a hint of disgust, and then said: "That's not true, when he went, Xu Chongshan had already left, I thought everything was under control, but it turned out to be such a big mistake, I think he must be very annoyed now." As he spoke, he smiled gloatingly again.
"You...... At this time, he was still angry with his eldest brother, ......" After saying a word about his sister-in-law, Xu Chongchuan's brows furrowed tightly: "This matter is even more unfavorable to us." These people in Guilin City told them to be the icing on the cake, but it would be too difficult for them to risk their entire family being killed. As he spoke, he was already walking quickly around the courtyard.
Seeing the second brother habitually walking around and thinking, Yin Shuirou stopped talking, just waited quietly by the side. She really had no choice, so she sent the news to Xu Chongchuan to see if her second brother could come up with a way to turn the tide at this critical juncture.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, Xu Chongchuan suddenly stopped, and there was already a trace of awe-inspiring killing intent between his eyebrows: "This matter can't be delayed any longer, it must be started as soon as possible." ”
"Huh?" Yin Shuirou looked at her brother with some surprise: "Something happened at this time?" Is it just us? "I'm afraid those toasts are now a cup bow snake shadow, and it is impossible to cooperate with them.
"Of course, we can't just rely on our own people, we are already understaffed, and some have been taken down by the government, and now we are even more stretched. At this time, those toasts still want to be the grass on the wall at both ends of the first rat, that is a dream! Xu Chongchuan snorted and said, "This time I will force them to act with me." ”
"What kind of coercion is this?" The sound of the soft water is a little too much to keep up with her brother's rhythm.
"Don't you have an internal response at King Jing's Mansion?" Xu Chongchuan's eyes flickered, only from the fact that the other party could know things so clearly, he could know that she had a secret son in the palace or Yang Zhen's side.
In this regard, Yin Shuirou did not hide it, and nodded generously. Xu Chongchuan continued: "Then let's start from this point and send people to attack King Jing's Mansion. This time, we can get rid of Yang Zhen who may be bad for us, and second, we can also drag those toasts into the water completely. As long as we attack the Jingwang Mansion under their banner, no matter whether we succeed or fail, these guys will be speechless. In the end, for their own safety, they can only follow us all the way to the dark. ”
Yin Shuirou was stunned again, but quickly, nodded in agreement, this is indeed the most effective means to break this unfavorable situation at present.
"But before I do, I want to meet them and see what their attitude is." Xu Chongchuan said again.
