In the middle of the night, Wang Jiangshuo was sleeping Zhengxiang, but he was awakened by a rapid call, got up and shouted at the same time: "Come in." ”

Walking in was Wang Jiangshuo's loyal servant brought from the capital, Wang Zhong, bowed down and said: "Back to the master, Wei Lao was chased and killed and seriously injured, and finally retreated by the blood guard, and now General Meng is bandaging Wei Lao." ”

Hearing that Wei Lao was chased and injured, Wang Jiangshuo did not have a trace of sadness but laughed, with a pride that could not be concealed, and shouted: "Take the master and I will go to see Wei Lao." While speaking, Wang Jiangshuo lifted the quilt and walked out of bed, got dressed and walked out under Wang Zhong's service.

Anxious about the confidential account book, Wang Jiangshuo trotted all the way, and soon rushed to the camp of the blood guards in the front yard, waved his hand to signal the guards on duty to be exempt, Wang Jiangshuo strode in, and directly focused on the old man in gray.

Wei Lao had a crossbow arrow stuck in his left shoulder, the blood that flowed had soaked half of his body, his face was pale to paper, his clothes were also tattered, obviously cut by the sword, and there were many people who wanted to besiege him, but the gray-clothed old man looked calm, still looked around closely, and immediately stood up when he saw Wang Jiangshuo.

Waving his hand to stop the gray-clothed old man from saluting, Wang Jiangshuo forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and pretended to be concerned and said, "Elder Wei, how is the injury?" After a pause at this, Wang Jiangshuo said with a sad face: "Originally, it was no longer necessary to work Wei Lao, and it also caused Wei Lao to be injured, but it was the official's negligence and excuse Wei Lao." At the end of the words, Wang Jiangshuo even bowed down to the old man in gray, after all, he was the person of the fourth prince, and Wang Jiangshuo did not dare to slack off.

Seeing that Wang Jiangshuo really bowed and saluted, the old man in gray staggered slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang is polite, it is all what an old slave should do." Oh, this is the account book that the adults wanted, and the old slave was fortunate not to be dishonored. ”

Staring at the account book in Wei Lao's hand, Wang Jiangshuo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, he raised his hand and grabbed the account book in his hand, and even laughed when he looked at the two pages, and shouted: "The sky pays off, Zheng Yu, how can this official quibble with you this time?" At this point, a cold light flashed in Wang Jiangshuo's eyes, and then he looked at the old man in gray with a smile and said: "Elder Wei, I have worked hard for you this time, as long as I still have to worry about how you will be injured, this official will go to ask to see the Seventh Prince, and you will definitely hold this revenge for Wei Lao." ”

How did the old man in gray not know Wang Jiangshuo's intentions, he just wanted to list one more crime against Zheng Shu and bring him to death, but as a slave, the old man in gray said indifferently: "The old slave thanked the lord. After a pause, the old man in gray told him what he had seen.

When the two brothers Ling Hu Ji and Zhao Hongyun ran to the martial arts training room, the three of them easily found the rubbing book left by Zhao Ping, but just when Ling Hu Ji looked proud, Zhao Hongyun suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed him in the chest.

Seeing that Ling Huji looked at himself with a shocked face, Zhao Hongyun said expressionlessly: "My Zhao family has chosen Zheng Taishou, even if it is a road to the dark, I will admit it." Besides, Linghu Ji, do you really think you can get out of my Zhao family? Speaking of this, Zhao Hongchuan looked at Zhao Honglie and said, "Second brother, we have no choice, so don't blame the eldest brother." ”

As soon as Zhao Hongyun's voice fell, there was a high-five at the door, and at the same time, a voice sounded, saying: "Brother Zhao is not very old, but he is also experienced in doing things, and he is worthy of Zhao Ye's teaching for so many years, and he wants to be loved by adults." ”

Suddenly, the three of them all looked at the black-clothed man at the door, and they all had shock in their eyes, because the person who came was Zheng Yu's personal guard. Walking into the martial arts hall, the man in black waved his hand and slapped it on Ling Huji's chest, even if Ling Huji was unwilling, but he fell to the ground and killed Ling Huji, the man in black raised his hand and snatched the account book, casually looked at it and opened his mouth and said: "Zhao Ye is really cautious, he even left his back hand, and it is also a loss to Brother Zhao to know the current affairs, otherwise he will ......"

Listening to the tone of the man in black, although Zhao Hongyun was dissatisfied, he grabbed his second brother Zhao Honglie, and said to the man in black: "Commander Wu, everyone will be brothers in the same boat in the future, this account book, I will bother you to hand it over to the adult, and then tell the adult, my Zhao family is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Hehe Yin laughed, and the man in black glared at Zhao Honglie provocatively, and then said: "You are smart enough, but this account book, the adult has already spoken, and it will be burned directly." As he spoke, the man in black had walked to the side of the kerosene lamp, but the moment he put the account book on the flame, a cold wind blew and extinguished the kerosene lamp.

The man in black was already alert when the flames were extinguished, but unfortunately it was too late, a soft sword slashed his throat with the wind, leaving a thin line that could not be checked, but the man in black subconsciously covered his throat, but unfortunately the blood was not something he could stop at all.

Everything happened in an instant and ended in an instant, when Zhao Honglie lit the oil lamp, the man in black had fallen in a pool of blood, and the account books were nowhere to be found.

It was Wei Lao who made the shot, and then said: "The old slave went back to the house immediately after getting the account book, but just out of the courtyard, there were crossbow arrows shot out of the darkness, although the old slave blocked two but also hit an arrow, fortunately the besiegers did not have a master, so the old slave sent the account book back." ”

Nodding at the old man in gray, Wang Jiangshuo opened his mouth and said: "It's hard work for Elder Wei, Elder Wei, you are so resting, this official will definitely ask for an explanation for you." General Meng, the situation is urgent, this official must immediately visit the prince, and he will also bother the general. ”

Meng Haikuo didn't know that the account book in Wang Jiangshuo's hand was extremely important, so he hugged his fists and bowed: "Your Excellency, please." ”

Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night, when Wang Jiangshuo was awakened, Zheng Yu was also aroused, just a joy and a worry. Hearing that Zhao Pingzhen had a rubbing book and was robbed, Zheng Yu didn't have to think about it to know who did it, his face immediately turned cold, and he shouted: "Waste, the officials have raised you for so many years, and more than a dozen people have not been able to stop one, waste." It should be angry, Zheng Yu waved his hand and threw the Sun and Moon Inkstone, which he usually favors, to the next guard, but the person who smashed it only gritted his teeth but did not dare to make a sound.

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads one by one and didn't dare to look at themselves, Zheng Yu became more and more annoyed, and shouted again: "Waste, get out." ”

In Zheng Yan's loud shouts, everyone retreated with relief, and Zheng Yan took two deep breaths to try to stabilize his emotions, looked at the Tsing Yi man standing on one side and asked, "Ziyin, what should I do now?" Hmph, with Wang Jiangshuo's hatred for this official, I am afraid that I will meet the Seventh Prince immediately......" After a pause at this, a fierce light flashed in Zheng Xuan's narrow eyes.

He Ziyin, a man in Tsing Yi, is Zheng Yu's confidant and strategist, and he is also a famous scribe in Jiangnan Province. He Ziyin has followed Zheng Yu for many years, how can he not understand what he has never said, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the guards on Wang Jiangshuo's side are all the personal guards of the Seventh Prince, from the Xuanjia Guard, we can't get rid of it in a short time, and if there is a slight delay, I am afraid that the blood guard army will arrive." ”

Zheng Yu was just dizzy by anger for a while, and he didn't really think that the disciples he raised could be compared to the blood guards, he shook his head as if he wanted to throw away those messy things, and then stared at He Ziyin and asked again: "Is there a way for Ziyin to teach me?" ”

Looking at Zheng Yu, He Ziyin was silent for a moment and opened his mouth to say: "Zhao Ping has been following the adults for more than ten years and knows too many things, and the account books record the silver that we have entered and exited over the years, once it falls into the hands of the Seventh Prince, ......" At this point, he was interrupted by Zheng Yu.

Staring at He Ziyin, Zheng Yu said coldly: "These officials know and understand, Ziyin, you just say something that the officials don't know." ”

Seeing that Zheng Yu was no longer as calm as before, He Ziyin knew that he was really anxious, and he didn't buy Guan Zi and said directly: "The Seventh Prince's trip to rectify the rule of Jiangnan officials was ordered by the Holy Order, but Wang Jiangshuo held on to the adult, which was obviously to retreat the adult into the fire pit, and now we have reached the edge of the cliff, and if we want to save our lives, we can only ask someone to pull us." ”

Zheng Wei understood what He Ziyin meant, and they couldn't do anything but find the big man hidden behind them. After a moment of silence, Zheng Yu opened his mouth and said: "The Seventh Prince went to Zhongmin Mountain the day before yesterday, and he has already persuaded the Wu family, the five major clans in the south of the Yangtze River, the Sun family does not ask about the world, and the Qian family is helped by the Seventh Prince, as for the Wang family's children, they follow the Seventh Prince all day long like a fart, you can know the choice of the Wang family, plus the Wu family, four have been persuaded by the Seven Princes, Brother Ziyin, which other family do you say will stand up for this official?" As for the capital," in the elongated voice, an indescribable smile appeared at the corner of Zheng Yu's mouth, and he said sarcastically: "The capital is full of clouds, which is more dangerous than any place, the official has never thought of going to the pond of muddy water, and it is enough to guard the acre and three points of land in Jiangnan Road, except for the household department and the official department, the other yamen are symbolically sent, not to mention that the Li department is in full swing a few years ago, and the official has never thought much about it, but I don't want to now, the Li department is also going to fall!" ”

In the sigh, Zheng Yu shook his head and said: "The world can have today's prosperity, I should be the first in Jiangnan, Master Li has been sitting in the household department for more than ten years, and many clans and officials in Jiangnan are also the only ones who look ahead, but since the saint transferred Shen Dadu Governor into Jiangnan Dao, the official has noticed that something is wrong, and now ten years have passed, and the Metropolitan Governor is enough to fight with the Li family and the clans in Jiangnan. ”

Hearing Zheng Wei say this, He Ziyin was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly, and Zheng Yu continued: "A few days ago, when Li Shangshu was in Pingjiang Mansion, the official once met Master Li, and Lord Li bluntly said that whether he had merit or fault in this life, it was all between the thought of the saint, but if it involved the official, it would definitely be inevitable that knife. These days, the official has been speculating about what Lord Li means, and now he finally understands it, this time, the official is inevitably dead. ”

Hearing the meaning of Xiao Suo in Zheng Yu's words, He Ziyin exclaimed sadly: "My lord? ”

With a wave of his hand, Zheng Yan opened his mouth and said, "Go down, this official is quiet alone." ”

Looking at Zheng Yu with a dead face, He Ziyin sighed in his heart, hugged his fists and saluted and turned to leave, and Zheng Yu was the only one left in the empty hall.
