The sun sets and the moon rises, the stars crawl all over the sky, twinkling with glittering light, and in the middle of the night, Jingshi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, it is already the third watch in the middle of the night, the capital is quiet, even the people who fight the watch, the moon and stars are scarce, there are patrol soldiers on the dark street from time to time, between the coming and going, the sound of clanging armor rubbing, making the silent night filled with a tense atmosphere, hazy night, faint mist, there is a trace of weirdness.

Hefu, the gate is closed, and two lanterns are hung in front of the door, blooming with a dim and dim light, making the word Hefu on the plaque looming, and a faint mist covers the top, refracting the light.

In the entire capital, the lights of thousands of homes have long been extinguished, and people have long been asleep, however, the study of Hefu is lit and flickering, and there are bursts of whispering voices inside, and two figures are shaking, pacing back and forth, reflected on the sandpaper.

At this time, the two figures shaking in the study were the brothers He Shen and He Lin, and there were also people, standing on the side of the bookcase with their hands in their hands, looking like a slave, slightly bowed, it was Liu Quan, He Shen's housekeeper, hardcore dog legs.

He Shen had already stopped, looking at the candlelight in a daze, his eyes were a little dull, he didn't know what he was thinking, and He Lin paused, as if he didn't see his brother's distraction, he paced up anxiously, and said in a worried tone: "Big brother, hurry up and pay attention, just today, the Tongzhou camp, the Xishan Jianrui camp and the Fengtai camp were annihilated by the anti-thieves one after another, if you don't make up your mind now, otherwise, it will be too late, wait until the army of anti-thieves enters the city." ”

"Also, Wang Jie and Zhu Jue, the two old horsemen, are ready to move, they always run to the palace in the past two days, and discuss something with the emperor, every then, they will always intentionally or unintentionally separate Wu Xingqin and Wu Xinglan brothers, all of which show that they are planning something, big brother..."

He Lin's voice stopped abruptly, and his turned body also stopped, looking straight at He Shen, only to find that his brother was in a daze, as if he hadn't listened to himself, he couldn't help but be more anxious, and his voice raised a few points: "Big brother, have you listened to my brother and me?!" ”

He Shen still looked at the candlelight, his expression was calm, but his eyes shone brightly, and he said in a faint voice: "He Lin, the Emperor treats me well, everything I have is given by the Emperor, how can you let me bear to betray him?" ”

Although the tone was flat, it was mixed with sonorous meaning, and Lin knew that if he wanted to do that thing, his brother would not be able to pass the hurdle in his heart at all, and he was really loyal to Lord Qianlong, even though he knew that the eldest brother was a corrupt official.

For a while, as He Shen's words fell, the study was quiet, and He Lin didn't know how to persuade him? I was secretly anxious in my heart, time was running out, the entire Qing Dynasty was already a building about to collapse, and it was in danger, and the army of anti-thieves could enter the city at any time.

Thinking of this, He Lin had no choice but to turn his eyes for help to Liu Quan, a person who was extremely trusted by his brother, who knew his brother's mind better than himself, and nodded slightly.

From beginning to end, although he lowered his head, when He Lin's eyes looked at him, Liu Quan immediately felt it, raised his head, smiled respectfully, nodded in response, and then said softly: "Master, your loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and Qianlong Ye is undoubted, we can understand it, but Qianlong Ye has long passed the age of ancient times, he is already eighty-eight years old, and the whole person is already in a daze, forgetting things for a long time, and his spirit has become worse and worse recently." ”

"Besides, you also said that the current emperor has a grudge against you, and his face and heart are not compatible, especially when he often connives, Guangxing and Wang Jie's generation attack you, and turns a deaf ear, regardless of it, once Master Qianlong has something, not only will the master suffer with you, but even the young master will be affected, and he can no longer be indecisive."

Immediately, hearing this, He Lin's eyebrows showed a look of appreciation, and he secretly gave Liu Quan a thumbs up, but He Shen was shocked, secretly frightened, only felt like a thorn in his back, and cold sweat broke out on his back, obviously, He Shen also heard Liu Quan's subtext, that is, master, if Qianlong Ye dies, the current Jiaqing Emperor will definitely settle accounts with you.

Although he is a big corrupt official, He Shen is not a stupid person, and he will not be fascinated by some pride, and he deeply knows that his wealth, power, status, fame, etc., especially the emperor's dependence, all of this was brought to him by Emperor Qianlong, once his old man had an accident, he and Shen would not be far from death.

Losing wealth, losing power, losing official positions, losing everything, even including life, He Shen is willing, and can accept Emperor Jiaqing's ruling, but it is a matter of the life of his own son, and the only son, Feng Shen Yinde, He Shen has to plan and have to think of some way out.

At this time, there is still a trace of hope in Heshen's heart, no matter what, Fengshen Yinde married Gulun and Princess Xiao, the most favored daughter of Qianlong, even if he falls and encounters an accident, Emperor Jiaqing will also think of his sister and let his son go.

However, He Lin's sudden words completely shattered this fantasy of He Shen and returned to reality.

"Big brother, don't have any illusions, since ancient times, ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, if you fall, your nephew will also encounter accidents, you hurry up and get an idea, there is not so much time to delay."

Obviously, after Liu Quan finished speaking, He Lin saw that his eldest brother was silent for a long time, hesitating, and there was a wandering look in his eyes, and he had already guessed that on the basis of Liu Quan's words, he would further stimulate and completely extinguish the last trace of his brother's ridiculous fantasies.

He Lin's words were like a hammer, and he woke up He Shen at once, only to see He Shen ponder slightly, and then a trace of light flashed in his eyes, decisive and resolute, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, He Lin, recently, the emperor has been very wary of me, and has been sending people to secretly monitor me, so this matter is up to you to operate, send someone to negotiate with Yang Lin, after reaching a consensus, how do you need me to cooperate, when the time comes, you just need to tell me!" ”

He Lin hesitated for a moment, feeling that there seemed to be something missing when he ran the matter by himself and contacted the other party, but after thinking about it carefully, what the elder brother said was good, the goal of Hefu was too big, once there was any action, it was easy to be discovered, and now at this time, there is no more suitable person than himself who can replace the eldest brother.

Thinking of this, He Lin didn't hesitate any longer, so he happily agreed: "Okay, big brother, I'll do this matter~!" ”

At this moment, seeing that his younger brother agreed, He Lin turned around, looked at Liu Quan, and then ordered: "Liu Quan, you will follow the second master in the past few days, listen to his orders, and do whatever you want." ”

"Yes, sir." Although Liu Quan replied respectfully and calmly, he was happy in his heart, because he knew that the fall of his master meant that his death was not far away.

"Okay, that's it, as for what conditions Yang Lin wants, you can handle it as you like, you don't need to ask me, go and rest." He Shen waved his hand and said like this, faintly anxious.

He Lin was very happy, but he controlled this emotion, as if he wanted to say something, seeing that the eldest brother didn't want to talk anymore, it was completely a posture of throwing his hands at the shopkeeper, so he held back, agreed, and walked out with Liu Quan: "Okay, big brother, then I'll go first." ”

Squeak~

The door was opened, and then closed again, and the footsteps of He Lin and Liu Quan gradually faded away, disappearing into the darkness, and He Shen walked to the bookcase, and sat down slowly, looking up with empty and blank eyes, his lips squirming slightly, without making any sound, not knowing what he was muttering to himself.
