Walking out of the corner gate of the governor's yamen, Song Xueqiao had a smug sneer on his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Liu Yingji did not immediately take his advice, he believed that the other party would eventually do what he wanted, because he had no other way to go.

Although killing Qin Cha is a big crime, although Governor Liu can also see that this is Song Xueqiao borrowing a knife to kill people, he has no choice, as long as he still wants to keep his secret, he must take this risk. Song Xueqiao's eyes were gloomy, and he said softly in a voice that only he could hear: "An Lang, don't worry, soon, then Yang Zhen will come down to accompany you." Although I can't kill him with my own hands to avenge you, he also died because of me. As for Zhong Yu, although that matter has nothing to do with him, who told him to have such a close relationship with Yang Zhen, this is his own death! ”

Just when Song Xueqiao was talking to An Jizong in his heart with some trepidation, he caught a glimpse of the side door on the other side was also opened, and then a sedan chair came out and hurriedly went out. Seeing this situation, Song Xueqiao guessed that Liu Yingji went out to find someone to discuss the matter.

"Go ahead, whoever you talk to, there's no going to change it." The smile on Song Xueqiao's lips became a little colder. Before leaving Beijing, he had already learned from Feng Bao that the relationship between officials and local forces in Datong was complicated, and he believed that whoever learned that his big secret was found out by the Qin Cha would inevitably be panicked and adopt this inconclusive plan.

It seemed that he really guessed, when Liu Yingji said Song Xueqiao's words in eager language, the expressions of several people in front of him became extremely ugly, even Guo Rong, the general soldier who was accustomed to seeing life and death blood, was also earthy at this time, and his body was trembling slightly.

At this time, several of them were in Li Chang's carved and painted mansion, and there were fine fragrant teas and delicate pastries in front of them. But everyone here has turned a blind eye to these things, and all they can think about is what to do.

"How so? How could this matter be found out by the Qin Cha? After a while, Li Changcai said with difficulty in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"A letter from this official to Amudai Hongtaiji was intercepted by Yang Zhen's people who were in the brocade clothes. Moreover, he had also found one of the family members of the mutinous sergeant before, so naturally he couldn't hide the inside story from them. "Now, there's nothing to hide.

Guo Rong and a few other officials who knew the inside story were fine, but Li Chang looked at Liu Yingji with some disbelief: "Lord Futai, in such a sensitive period, how could you think of sending a letter to the Tartar chieftain, isn't this giving people a handle?" There was already some unhappiness and disrespect in his tone

At this time, Liu Yingji had long lost his former official authority, even if this businessman scolded himself like this, he didn't mean to be angry, but just smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was anxious to extinguish the rebels, so I thought about transferring troops from the fortress outside the city. But I'm worried that the Tartars over there will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, so that's why I ...... Unexpectedly, this caused trouble. ”

Li Chang's face became even more gloomy, but the resentment in his heart could not attack, so he could only sigh and no longer majority. Everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, and it is useless to complain about Liu Yingji's recklessness now, only to think about how to get through this pass first.

Guo Rong glanced at Governor Liu: "Lord Futai, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to feel sorry for yourself, do we still have a way to remedy it?" ”

Liu Yingji was waiting for this question, and immediately said: "There is still a way, but you need to take risks." As long as the idea eradicates Zhong Yu and the others, everything will naturally be fine. ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall tightened, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little more severe than just now. Killing Qincha is a great crime of rebellion, and they don't even dare to think about it unless they have to do it. But now it has indeed reached an extraordinary moment, so when Liu Yingji put forward this opinion, everyone did not mean to object, but they all thought about it in their hearts, whether it would be successful or not, what the consequences would be, and if they really wanted to do it, how to do it.

Just when the hall was very quiet and everyone was thinking carefully, a voice came from behind the screen on the side: "Liu Futai, is this what you mean, or is it you who is instructed by others?" ”

"What people!" Guo Rong was the fastest of all the people here, and as soon as he heard an extra voice, he bounced up from the chair, put his hand around his waist, and pulled out the steel knife he was equipped with.

And the others, except for Li Chang, also changed their expressions drastically, looking at the screen painted with mountains and rivers dumbfounded, and their bodies trembled a little. What they're talking about is a big head-killing thing, why is there anyone else here listening?

Just when Guo Rong was about to draw his knife and slash at the screen, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe had already turned out behind him, and in the face of the bright steel knife, he didn't panic at all, but smiled: "Guo Zongbing, why don't you recognize it?" ”

"Brother Li......" Guo Rong quickly recognized the identity of this person, and then he put the knife back into the sheath in a curtled manner: "Why are you hiding behind the screen since you are here?" As he spoke, he glanced at Li Chang, the owner here, with some complaint.

Li Chang smiled awkwardly, this is completely the third master's own meaning, can he still not be allowed to do it?

"Li Jue, didn't you go back earlier, why are you still in Datong?" At this time, Liu Yingji, who had calmed down, also asked.

"I originally planned to go back to Taiyuan, but after thinking about it, I still couldn't rest assured, so I stayed here with Li Chang. Sure enough, you panicked after the incident, and if I hadn't come forward, I was afraid that you would have fallen into a catastrophe today. Li Jue and Li Sanye swept his gaze over everyone's faces one by one, and said condescendingly: "Look at what you mean just now, do you agree with the governor's suggestion?" ”

"This ...... As a last resort, this is the only way to protect ourselves. ”

"Lord Futai, you haven't answered my question just now, who gave you this idea?" Li Jue did not respond to this, but asked the question just now.

Liu Yingji knew that this person had always had a strategy, so he smiled bitterly: "It seems that I can't hide it from Li Sanye, yes, this idea is not what I thought, but I was instructed by someone." What pointed me out was to tell me the news that Zhong Yu and the others had learned that we had something to do with the north, and that they were Song Xueqiao of the East Factory. ”

"Oh? Is that so? Have you ever wondered if this is a trap? While speaking, Li Jue had already found an empty chair and sat down, and his tone was very flat.

"Trap?" Everyone looked at each other, a little confused for a moment.

"As far as I know, then Song Xueqiao also came to Datong with Zhong Yu and them, do you think this could be a conspiracy set up by the three of them? For example, lure you to wait for a shot, and then better justifiably catch you. ”

"This ...... Probably not. Guo Rong hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and said: "This Datong is still our territory, although it is not easy to kill them, it is not difficult, will they take this risk?" ”

Liu Yingji also nodded and agreed: "Yes, and since they already have evidence of our collusion with the Tartars in the north, this alone is enough to kill us, so why bother to do this?" ”

Li Jue nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that although these two were frightened, they were not so panicked that they lost their due judgment. But then, he turned his face again: "What if this is Song Xueqiao's conspiracy?" ”

"His conspiracy?" Liu Yingji's heart suddenly moved, and he had already thought of something. But Guo Rong and the others were still a little puzzled and didn't know what it meant.

Li Jue didn't sell Guan Zi again this time, and said directly: "Do you think that Song Xueqiao will be so kind to come to warn us and tell us a solution?" If what I expected was correct, this was because he also wanted to deal with Zhong Yu, but because he didn't have the ability, he came up with this strategy to kill people with a knife. ”

was broken by him so little, and everyone finally came back to their senses, and it is really possible that this is the case. In fact, this method is not clever, but everyone was frightened by the secret leak, so they ignored this layer.

But then, they thought of one more thing: "Even so, it seems that Zhong Yu and they know that our matter is an indisputable fact, what else can we do?" ”

"yes, what else can we do?" Li Jue also asked rhetorically: "He has one thing that is good, only by removing people can we truly ensure our own safety." But if we do it ourselves, not to mention whether the matter can be done or not, and whether it will be found out by the imperial court, just having someone like him in the know is enough for us to have a headache. Maybe after this, he and the Dongchang behind him will use this to blackmail us people. ”

Everyone didn't have to think about it to know that what he said was very reasonable. Dongchang is not good, as long as they have the handle, just wait to be at the mercy of others.

"How's that for good? Aren't we in a dilemma? Li Chang said worriedly.

The other people's expressions were roughly the same, and they were all worried, not knowing what to do. After a while, everyone turned their eyes to Li Jue, and looking at his appearance, it seemed that they had thought of a way to deal with it.

"Third master, the stakes are very high, please help us. Helping us is also helping the Li family...... "Li Chang, as a member of his clan, is the best person here to talk and ask for help.

Li Jue glanced at them with a sigh before he said: "Actually, killing them is inevitable, but we can do things better, so that others can't take all of them." ”

"What should I do?"

"Borrow a knife to kill!" Li Jue's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Since Song Xueqiao thought of borrowing a knife to kill people, we are also ordinary, as for the borrowed knife......
