Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing discussed the assassination of Zhang Chu together, and Luo Yangxing thought that a few old men with strong martial arts could be competent for this operation, but he was afraid that they would not want to go. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It turned out that these people were all on an errand in Jinyiwei, when Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne to crack down on the eunuchs, Jinyiwei was implicated at the same time, many people in Jinyiwei were punished, so that everyone was in danger, I don't know when they were going to be unlucky, and then although the rumors passed, many people left Jinyiwei because of this, and Luo Yangxing said that these people also left at that time.

"What's their name, and what did they do before?" Cao Huachun asked.

"The leader of them is called Shi Qing, who was originally a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and was originally responsible for espionage and assassination operations in Jinyiwei, and three of his brothers are also masters in this area." Luo Yangxing introduced.

"I'll go with you to invite, no matter what, I have to talk about them, now the emperor is dying of sorrow, and we, as courtiers, will share the emperor's worries." Cao Huachun was out of the way this time, and he couldn't care about his identity as a big eunuch, so he decided to personally beg these low-status former Jinyi Wei old men.

"Okay, let's give it a try." Cao Huachun said so, of course Luo Yangxing had nothing else to say, and immediately sent someone to arrange things to prepare for the trip.

Shi Qing did not go far after leaving Jinyiwei, and used his previous savings to open a shop selling rice noodles in Jingshizhong, and several of his brothers also helped in the store, and he had no worries about food and clothing for several years.

Just when Shi Qing thought that he would live his life so peacefully, Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing came to the door.

At that time, Shi Qing was drinking tea and resting alone in the upper room, and the guy brought two people in. Shi Qing was taken aback at that time, and hurriedly sent the guy out first, and then stepped forward to salute. This Luo Yangxing is the leader of Jinyiwei, and Cao Huachun is a celebrity in front of the current emperor, these Shi Qing all know. Seeing that the two of them were dressed in ordinary clothes today, Shi Qing guessed that they had something secret to do.

The three of them sat down in the house, and Luo Yangxing saw that there were no outsiders before he spoke: "Brother, we have encountered a difficult matter, and we specially invited you to come out of the mountain." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I was just a pawn in the brocade guard, and now I am a civilian, how dare I work for the two masters, what do you say, please say a word. Besides, I'm old, my legs and feet are not flexible, and I'm not suitable for running errands now, so Lord Luo should ask another master. Although Shi Qing didn't know what Luo Yangxing was looking for him for, it was definitely not an easy task to see that Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing were both out of the horse, so he dared to refuse before Luo Yangxing could say what it was.

This was what Cao Huachun expected, so he was not in a hurry but said patiently: "The purpose of the Ming Dynasty to set up the Jinyiwei was to share the worries of His Majesty, and the Jinyiwei has been loyal to the saint from generation to generation. Now that Your Majesty is in trouble, it is the time when you need everyone's help, how can you shirk it. Although you have left Jinyiwei, you can't change the heart you had when you joined Jinyiwei, and now it is also a great opportunity to prove that Jinyiwei is loyal to the emperor. ”

Cao Huachun's words made Shi Qing speechless, they left Jinyi Weiyi to avoid danger, and the other was that they thought that the emperor no longer needed them. But after a long time, nostalgia will inevitably arise, and they are still loyal to the emperor in their hearts.

"Now such as today's chaos, there are Houjin people constantly attacking, and there are Shaanxi thieves running rampant inside, and there is a more deserving villain Zhang Chu at this time of internal and external troubles, we are here to ask you to get rid of the thief Zhang Chu and share the emperor's worries." Cao Huachun continued.

"Zhang Chu, what evil things has he done?" Shi Qing didn't care much about the outside world, and he didn't have any impression of Zhang Chu, but Cao Huachun compared Zhang Chu with Houjin and thieves, which showed that Zhang Chu was definitely not a simple person.

"That Zhang Chu was originally a thief in Shaanxi, and later the Holy Emperor Kai grace appeased him and sent him to Shandong to quell the rebellion, he had military merits and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Denglai, but after that, he did not read the emperor's grace, supported the army and respected himself, the emperor transferred him to Liaodong to attack Houjin, and he actually asked the emperor to pay for him before he was willing to send troops. The emperor promoted him to an official and sent a eunuch to Shandong to announce the decree and let him go to Beijing to report on his work, but not only did he not listen to the decree, but even the eunuch who announced the decree did not know where he had been gotten to, and he did not see anyone alive or dead. What's even more hateful is that he suddenly led his troops to occupy Ningbo City and imprisoned the Ningbo prefect, which is no different from rebellion. The emperor was afraid that sending an army to encircle and suppress would inevitably raise swordsmen, and the people of the entire Zhejiang region would suffer. That's why I want to ask your brother to go out of the mountain to get rid of Zhang Chu, not only for the emperor, but also for the people of Zhejiang. After speaking, Cao Huachun got up and saluted Shi Qingshen.

Shi Qing hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said, "My lord, please get up, Shi doesn't dare to be it." This Zhang Chu does have a negative grace, but listen to what you said, this Zhang Chu is always on the march and fighting, and must have lived in the military camp most of the time, so it is not very easy to attack him. ”

Cao Huachun heard Shi Qing's words and knew that he had something active in his heart, so he immediately took over the conversation and said: "We have to do our best in this operation, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will fully cooperate with you, even the emperor has passed down the decree, whoever kills Zhang Chu will be rewarded by the imperial court." ”

"We don't dare to think about the emperor's reward, but we are afraid that the failure of the operation will ruin the major affairs of the imperial court." Shi Qing also understood that this matter was very important, although Zhang Chu did no different from rebellion, he must not have raised the anti-flag, if the assassination failed, Zhang Chu really rebelled with great fanfare, but it would be said that Jinyi Wei forced him to rebel. Then their sins will be really great.

"You can rest assured that all the operations this time were carried out in secret, and no one else would know about the operation if it was not successful, and I would be responsible for any mistakes." Cao Huachun showed his loyalty to the emperor at this time, and took all the risks on himself.

"I can't be the master of this matter myself, but I have to consult with some of my brothers." Shi Qing was moved by Cao Huachun's words, and sought Shi Qing with the status of Cao Huachun and Luo Yang, and it was for the emperor's major affairs, Shi Qing had no more choice.

"Very good, someone brought in." Cao Huachun shouted loudly to the outside.

Several brocade guards in civilian clothes came in carrying a large heavy suitcase, and Cao Huachun motioned for them to put down the box and let them retreat.

Luo Yangxing walked over and opened the lid of the box, revealing the gold and silver jewelry inside.

"My lord, we are not here for money." Shi Qing dared to say tightly, he himself really didn't have much money **.

"This money is for you to be able to do things with peace of mind, you don't need it, your brothers may still want it." Luo Yangxing said.

Shi Qing understood that Cao Huachun was going to buy them, and they had to complete the task desperately, but there was no way Shi Qing gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, my lord, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, we will also go." (To be continued.) )
