Chapter 27: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

Daming Palace left Yintai outside the gate of the Shence army camp.

Wu Chen, the judge of the Shence Left Army, is sharply reprimanding the two colonels, Wu Chen is about forty years old, short and thin, with three locks of beard, although Wu Chen's official position is not big, but he is a figure in the Left Army, for two reasons:

One is that he holds the Iron Armor Army, there are only 700 people in the Iron Army, all of them are elites selected from 10,000, everyone has outstanding martial arts, and all of them have licked blood on their heads.

Wu Chen's theory is simple, a soldier who has never killed anyone is not a real soldier. The main responsibility of the Ironclad Army is to protect the personal safety of the Chinese army battalion and the lieutenant Qiu Shiliang.

Wu Chen and Qiu Shiliang are fellow villagers, and the two are still related to each other, which is the second reason why he suffers heavily in the army.

After the fall of Wang Shoucheng, Wenzong ordered Qiu Shiliang to be stationed in the camp of the Left Army, and he was not allowed to enter the palace unless he was summoned, on the grounds that it was convenient to supervise Wang Shoucheng's henchmen. Wang Shoucheng has been placed under house arrest, and his henchmen have been scattered with his downfall, which is a bit too far-fetched.

The Sacred Heart is unfathomable! The more Wu Chen couldn't guess Li Ang's true intentions, the more frightened and restless he became. In order to make his ears and eyes smarter, with Qiu Shiliang's acquiescence, he set up his own spy organization, the Judge's Office.

Half of the people in the Judge's Hall were from the Iron Army, and the other half were from various walks of life recruited from outside, and a large part of them were dug from Guo Qin after the fall of Wang Shoucheng, who was condemned as a rebel and imprisoned, and his subordinates were all in danger and looking for new supporters. Wu Chen gave them this opportunity.

There are three criteria for Wu Chen's selection: the first is loyalty, the second is innocence, and the third is ability.

Loyalty, no need to explain much, everyone in the judgment hall can only be loyal to Qiu Shiliang and his Wu Chen.

Innocence means that your birth experience is clearly visible, and any experience must stand up to scrutiny, not be ambiguous, as for what you have done, it is secondary. From Wu Chen's heart, he prefers those who are born in the army, who are as innocent as water and go straight.

Competence is a requirement at the business level, and the tasks of secret agents are different, and the abilities required are naturally different. Those who mix officialdom must understand the seven meats and eight vegetables of officialdom; Those who mix in the military camp must be able to talk nonsense, and they must be able to gamble and drink and play with women; The people in the Zaven pile must be able to recite poems and paint, and speak with a sour taste; Those who mix the court have higher requirements, in addition to seeing and listening to all directions, they must also know how to observe words and colors, and learn to open fire and secret knives.

In short, as long as there is something available, Wu Chen will be under his command.

"Where are all your usual skills? Can't do a little thing? What else can you expect to do? Guo Qin relies on those who have no eggs, and he can see the sky with his ears and eyes; The King of Light relies on those who have no handles, but they can penetrate everywhere. Look at you again, bearded men, seven-foot bodies...... What do you do with that egg? ”

Wu Chen's mouth was dry and he was about to take a sip of tea, but he saw Qiu Shiliang walking in with his hands behind his back and a spring breeze on his face. Wu Chen hurriedly sent the two colonels, his expression a little embarrassed.

Qiu Shiliang smiled, "Yuliang, don't be so anxious. This kind of thing looks inconspicuous, but the knowledge in it is not small, take your time. "Jade Liang is Wu Chen's cousin, and Qiu Shiliang has always called him that in private.

"Kuangmei, the fire is burning your eyebrows, can I not be in a hurry?" Kuang Mei is Qiu Shiliang's cousin, and there is no second person in the left army except Wu Chen who dares to call him so to his face.

"Hehehe, what's the use of being in a hurry." Qiu Shiliang sat down in front of Wu Chen's official case, picked up a copy of official documents and read it with relish.

Wu Chen sighed helplessly.

Yu Cheng and Zhang Hai walked in side by side, kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"What's the matter, did anyone catch it?" In fact, from the facial expressions of the two, Wu Chen already knew the answer.

"The last general killed the thirty soldiers sent by Luo Liyan, and he was about to take Luo Chunxuan, but ......" Yu Cheng paused when he said this, and secretly glanced at Qiu Shiliang behind the public case, Qiu Shiliang was still looking down at the official document, and he didn't seem to hear his words.

"Don't spit out, say it quickly!" Wu Chen was a little annoyed.

"Damn, no one caught it. Princess Yichun suddenly broke out, she was forced to die, and the last general did not dare to make a mistake. ”

"Princess Yichun?" Wu Chen was a little unfamiliar with this name. When he bowed his head and pondered. Qiu Shiliang raised his head and asked with interest, "Why is she forced to die?" ”

The princess held a dagger to her throat, Zhang Hai thought she was just intimidating, so he tricked her, but she didn't expect her to really cut herself. Weekend...... I didn't dare to force it again. Yu Cheng lowered his head after speaking.

"Forcing the princess to kill the nine clans is to destroy the nine clans." Wu Chen's face turned red, and he scolded: "Waste! It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose! ”

The two bowed their heads and confessed their sins,

"Get up." Qiu Shiliang said calmly, "You two go out first to avoid the limelight. Come back when things settle down. Qiu Shiliang said it easily, but the two trembled, they couldn't understand what the meaning of the word "avoiding the limelight" was: was it to sincerely defend it, or to spend money to kill people and kill people?

"Don't be cranky, you are loyal, and if something happens, the lieutenant will not let it go. Go to Jingde Town and find Sikong Wu, he will settle you. ”

When Yu Cheng and Zhang Hai heard this, they couldn't help but burst into tears, bowed down, and retreated.

"Kuangmei, is it worth it?"

Sending Yu Cheng and Zhang Hai to arrest Luo Chunxuan was insisted on by Qiu Shiliang. At first, Wu Chen got a secret agent, and Luo Chunxuan, the son of the new Jingzhao Yin Luo Liyan, said that he had offered a plan to the emperor to exterminate the eunuch party on a certain day. Wu Chen immediately ordered several officials in the judgment hall to secretly go and arrest him.

But Qiu Shiliang insisted that Yu Cheng and Zhang Hai lead one hundred and twenty ironclad troops to arrest people. Before leaving, he specially instructed the two to make as much noise as possible.

Now that the movement is really big, not only killed thirty Jing Zhaoluo soldiers on the street, but also forced and injured a princess of the dynasty, Wu Chen didn't know how this matter should end.

"Yuliang, do you know who this Yichun princess is?" Qiu Shiliang looked at Wu Chen with a smile, "He is the eldest daughter of the King of Light?" ”

"The King of Light?" Wu Chen was taken aback, "Kuangmei, do you mean that King Guang was also involved?" ”

"No, no, no," Qiu Shiliang waved his hand, "Princess Yichun Li Qing was born with a palace girl when King Guang was twelve years old, King Guang was very scared, he once wanted to drown this illegitimate daughter, but it didn't work, Yichun let Empress Dowager Guo save her, and she always took it with her." Empress Dowager Guo doesn't like King Guang, that's a well-known thing, Yichun grew up with her, do you think she will still be the person of King Light? She's just a playful and willful little girl, and most of this incident was accidentally bumped into by her. ”

Wu Chen nodded, he agreed with Qiu Shiliang's analysis very much.

"That's why I dare to protect Yu Cheng and Zhang Hai, and I conclude that they won't pursue this matter. Yuliang, these days, you have to keep an eye on every move over there, and report to me at any time if you have something. ”

"Yes!" Wu Chen was overjoyed, he suddenly understood why Qiu Shiliang sent Yu Cheng and Zhang Hai to arrest people on the street, this was a plan to startle the snake. Now that the "grass" has been beaten, it depends on how the "snake" goes.
