Chapter 125: Wu Shan's True Identity
It is already the third watch, the entire Songjiang Mansion is dark, most of the people have fallen asleep early, only the places like Flower Lane are still flashing a few lights.
In the Zhou Mansion in the south of the city with Huaxiang, because Zhou Chong has moved all his family to Shuangyu Port, there are only a few guards left in the entire Zhou Mansion, and Wu Shan in the front yard also lives here, after all, he paid a lot of rent at that time, and he got along with Zhou Chong and Steward Xu very happily, so after Zhou Chong left, Wu Shan still lived here.
Although it was already the third watch, the lights were still on in the small courtyard where Wu Shan lived today, and I saw a table in the main hall of the house, with cups and plates on the table, and five people dressed as Zhou Mansion guards were now crawling on the table, exuding a pungent smell of wine and snoring.
And next to the wine table, Wu Shan, who was also full of alcohol, sat there, but he was now sober and not drunk. In addition, in addition to Wu Shan, there were more than a dozen men in black in the hall, these men in black were either strong or strong, and their eyes were shining, and they knew at a glance that Lu Dao was not an ordinary person.
This group of black-clothed people is led by a middle-aged man in his forties, with a square face and a wide mouth and a mighty appearance, but now this middle-aged man is full of anger, pointing at Wu Shan, who is still sitting upright, and said angrily: "The surname is Wu, Shi Moujing is that you are a man, plus we are all eating together in the Jinyi Guard, so I don't want to tear my face, if you know each other, you'd better tell the purpose of your coming to Zhoufu, otherwise don't blame our brother for being polite!" ”
For the angry roar of this middle-aged man surnamed Shi, Wu Shan, who was sitting there, seemed to turn a deaf ear, only to see him pick up the wine glass on the table. He took a sip and smiled, "Shi Baihu." I have done what you asked. drunk all the subordinates of the Zhou Mansion, this is already for the sake of Commander Shi's face to help you, as for the purpose of Wu's coming to the Zhou Mansion, this is not something you can ask, and even if it is not good, even if Commander Shi comes in person, Wu still has nothing to say! ”
Although Wu Shan is a butcher on the surface, his real identity is actually Jinyiwei. And the position is not low, the reason why he appeared in Songjiang Mansion is because he has a great mission and came to look for a clue, but after such a long time, he has not been able to find it.
I saw that now Wu Shan has long since lost his honest appearance before, but his face is calm and calm, and even in the midst of these black-clothed people, he still does not show any panicked expression, but still seems to be fearless.
The middle-aged man surnamed Shi saw that Wu Shan didn't take him seriously. It was also angry that his whole body trembled, but he didn't dare to really use it. Because Wu Shan in front of him is the same as him, he is a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and the other party's backer is very hard, let alone him, even if he is Shi Shiyiwen, the commander of Jinyiwei behind him, I am afraid he can't afford to offend.
This middle-aged man surnamed Shi is named Shi Guang, the current Jinyi Wei Baihu, this time on the order of Liu Jin, he brought people to find Zhou Chong, the main purpose is to let Zhou Chong write a novel comparable to Journey to the West, and then use this to please Zhengde. However, his luck was not good, it took so long to finally find Zhou Chong, but he didn't expect Zhou Chong to move overseas with his family, although Jin Yiwei's hand was long, but the scope of activity was only limited to the territory of Daming, and it was impossible to chase it to Shuangyu Port.
However, Shi Guang did not lose heart, but found Zhou Chong's home, and planned to sneak into Zhou Chong's room to search to see if he could find the manuscript written by Zhou Chong, after all, he heard that the other party was a talented prodigy, maybe in addition to Journey to the West, there may be other books written, if he can find it, he can take it back and restore his life.
I have to say that Shi Guang's idea is normal, but when he sent someone to step on the point in Zhou's mansion, he suddenly found traces of Wu Shan, which made him very puzzled, others may not know the identity of Wu Shan, but he knows the situation of Wu Shan very well, because he has worked with Wu Shan for a period of time before.
Speaking of which, although Shi Guang and Wu Shan both belong to Jinyiwei, but the two belong to different factions, and now Jinyiwei has two command histories, namely Shi Yiwen and Zhang Cai, both of them were promoted by Liu Jin, and they command most of the strength of Jinyiwei, Shi Guang is the same sect of Shi Yiwen, so he naturally belongs to Liu Jin's faction.
In addition, there is a small number of Jinyi Guards who are led by Qian Ning and directly obey the orders of Emperor Zhengde, which belongs to the core strength of Jinyi Wei, and Wu Shan is the hundred households under Qian Ning, and he is also his right-hand man. And as far as Wu Shan knows, Qian Ning's Jinyiwei in this part is secretive, and he has never moved around with other Jinyiwei, and Qian Ning has always been eyeing the position of Jinyiwei's commander, which also leads to tension between the two parts of Jinyiwei, and there will be conflicts from time to time.
When Shi Guang saw that Wu Shan was also in the Zhou Mansion, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still contacted Wu Shan after the last day, wanting to ask the other party why he was in the Zhou Mansion, and at the same time wanted Wu Shan to assist him. As a result, although Wu Shan agreed to assist Shi Guang, he kept secretive about his reason for coming to the Zhou Mansion, and finally angered Shi Guang in the end, so the previous scene appeared.
"Wu Shan, this time I was under the secret order of Gonggong Liu, if you don't explain the reason why you are here, then don't blame my brother for turning his face and not recognizing people!" Shi Guang saw that the previous intimidation was ineffective, and he had to take out his killer weapon and move Liu Jin's big Buddha out, hoping to intimidate the other party and get the information he wanted.
But what disappointed Shi Guang was that when Wu Shan heard the words "Gonggong Liu", he did not show fear, but showed him a calm smile, and said in a leisurely tone: "Shi Baihu, I know whose order you came here, and I also know the purpose of your coming here, so I agreed to help you get drunk with these guards of the Zhou Mansion, but you have your task, and I also have my purpose, everyone does not interfere with the river water, and no one wants to interfere with anyone!" ”
"Hmph, good! Good well water does not interfere with river water! It's just that I don't know how Gonggong Liu will 'reward' Wu Baihu after hearing about this? Shi Guang once again put down a cruel sentence and said. In fact, after hearing Wu Shan's words, he also saw that Wu Shan's purpose for coming here this time must be very secret, otherwise he wouldn't even take Gonggong Liu in his eyes.
I saw that after Shi Guang put down the cruel words, he turned around and commanded the subordinates behind him, and then immediately came out of the courtyard where Wu Shan lived, and then rushed into the inner house of the Zhou Mansion. Although he was very curious about Wu Shan's purpose for coming here, he didn't dare to offend the other party too much, after all, the money behind Wu Shan was not easy to mess with, although he was only a thousand households, but he only obeyed His Majesty's orders, and even the two commanders Lord Shi had to be polite when they saw each other.
Wu Shan, who was sitting and drinking, looked at Shi Guang who was leaving with people, but he sneered disdainfully, he had a big secret, so it was naturally impossible to tell Shi Guang about these people, not to mention that although Liu Jin was majestic now, it was the so-called prosperity and decline, with the news he got, I am afraid that Liu Jin and these people will not be able to jump for a few days.
Shi Guang rushed into the inner house of the Zhou Mansion with people, he had already known the courtyard where Zhou Chong lived in advance, so he didn't break in, he directly climbed over the wall to the place where Zhou Chong lived, and then began to rummage around, but they were also very measured when they were rummaging, and they didn't break things, mainly because Wu Shan had warned them before that it was okay to find things, but they definitely couldn't turn over the mess.
Don't look at Shi Guang and these people are deflated in front of Wu Shan, but they are experts in confiscating things, after all, there are not a few ministers who have been raided for offending Liu Jin in recent years, and a considerable part of them are the hands of these brocade guards, so it is clear where things may be hidden.
It is precisely because of this that Shi Guang and these people quickly rummaged through Zhou Chong's house, and at the same time found many suspicious things, and then these people dragged everything out and put it in the living room outside, lit candles and checked them one by one. If Zhou Zhong was here, he would definitely be surprised, because the box he hid was also turned out, and the box contained the few things found in the bracelet.
However, Shi Guang and the others are mainly looking for manuscripts this time, so they are most interested in books, as long as they can find books in Zhou Chong's room, they have all moved here, and there are also some boxes and boxes that may contain manuscripts, and other things, and now they are starting to rummage through them in the same way.
Although there are not many books in Zhou Chong's room, they are not few, after all, he is also a reader, and Shi Guang and the others have indeed searched very carefully, and even a few pictures of the Spring Palace hidden under Zhou Chong's bed have been turned out by them, and now they are thrown all over the ground.
Shi Guang took a few literate subordinates to rummage through all the books, but they didn't find the manuscripts they needed at all, and then they began to search the boxes and boxes that might contain the manuscripts, and soon a man in black opened the box containing the embroidered spring knife and the brocade cloth guard waist card, and saw these two things, which made him cry out without hesitation, and immediately attracted Shi Guang's attention.
"How is it possible, how can the Zhou Mansion have our Jinyiwei things, and what kind of person is this Wang Hai, he is still a thousand households, but I have never heard of it?" Shi Guang took out the token from the box and glanced at it, and said in surprise, although there are many thousand households in the Jinyi Guard, but this waist card is obviously only owned by the Jinyi Guard in the capital, there are only a few thousand households in the capital, he almost all know them, but he has never heard of a thousand households named Wang Hai.
However, before he could figure out the matter of the embroidered spring knife and the waist card, he saw another subordinate finally open the box containing Zhou Chong's manuscript of Journey to the West and the Golden Bottle Plum, only to see him flip through it a few times, and finally said to Shi Guang with a happy face: "Look, my lord, there are manuscripts here, and it seems to be the manuscripts of two books!"
