Chapter 120: Tian Ergeng, an unexpected guest
Once it was discovered that Yue Su really had the intention to rebel, he directly stabbed Yue Su to death, which was the most important instruction that Zhang Yan gave to Shouhuachun.
In fact, Zhang Yan also understood that if he really issued an order to deal with Yue Su, it would be pure nonsense, Lord Yue had a precedent of resisting the decree back then, and directly said that the will was an edict, and beat Xu Xianchun well. The only difference is that the decree is really fake. But the lesson of the past is in front of you, even if you take the real holy decree, it is estimated that it will be in vain, unless you don't use the middle decree and make an order in the name of the cabinet.
However, if it is taken, the officials of the Yue Party will definitely oppose it, and the will has not yet waited for Zhejiang, and Yue Su will already know it, and even pull the flag to rebel. According to the secret letter, Yue Su's strategy can be attacked and retreated, and Nanjing's defense will have to go through some tests, and if you don't manage it, half of the country will be lost.
Therefore, how dare Zhang Yan really make an order and take Yue Su. After thinking about it, the only way was to stab Yue Su to death.
The East Factory is an organization specializing in espionage and assassination, but after all, after the merger of the East and West Factories, there must still be Liu Mingguo's people hidden in it. In addition, Yang He of Dongchang also saved Yue Su's life last time, which made her reluctant to use people from Dongchang in Yue Su's affairs, especially such a major event.
Although the Imperial Horse Supervisor is not professional enough, he is a forbidden army after all, and there are many masters among them. The eunuch personally led the team to set off by the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the certainty of success was also great.
Cao Huachun was ordered to retreat, then packed up and went south to Zhejiang. The secret decree sent to the Xu family in Nanjing also set off on the same day, but the will to Yue Su was delayed for a day.
Huzhou.
In the past few days, Yue Su has been doing his best to investigate the case of Zhang Zhongxin's assassination, and has checked five or six times around the Hong family, but he has not found a single flaw. This stumped Lord Yue, since he became an official, he has solved countless cases, but why can't he find out this case at all?
In fact, if you can't find out, it's normal, the murderer's purpose should have been achieved, and there is no need to do anything at all, as long as you wait and see what happens, you can see Lord Yue's jokes. After living in Huzhou for a month, Yue Su was really a little helpless, sitting in the back office today, his mind was full of cases, but he couldn't think of any way.
On the street where the Governor was, as usual, very few people passed. Because Xingyuan used to be a rich mansion, it belonged to the rich area in the city, and it was very quiet and quiet.
On the street where the original scene was, there was a man walking slowly, this man wearing a hat, and when he walked in front of the gate, he stopped.
"This is the governor of Lord Yue, and the idle people should leave quickly!" When the soldiers guarding the gate saw that the other party was wearing a hat and looking sneaky, they immediately shouted a loud reprimand.
The man's hat was pressed so low that it almost covered half of his face, especially with his head down. However, he didn't look afraid of the soldier's reprimand, but said lightly: "Please go in and say that an old acquaintance of Lord Yue in the capital came to visit not far away." ”
Seeing that the visitor said this, one of the soldiers said, "Then you wait here, and I'll go in and pass the word." ”
With that, the soldier hurried inside. When he arrived at the back hall, he changed the conversation, and when Yue Su heard the old acquaintance from Beijing, he was immediately stunned for a moment, and then he thought, could it be someone from the Changfeng Dart Bureau, or someone from Six Doors?
Thinking that it might be his own person, he said, "Invite him to the back hall to talk." ”
"Yes, sir." The soldier returned to the front door and invited everyone inside. The man was not polite, and strode forward, followed the soldiers, and came to the back hall.
Above the back hall, in addition to Yue Su, Jiang Jie and Tie Qiu were also sitting in the lower hands. The soldier spoke, and Yue Su directly let the man in.
After the person entered the door, he still did not uncover the hat, but said first: "Can you close the door and retreat left and right?" ”
This, the person has a Beijing accent, but Yue Su can't remember who it is, and said at the moment: "There are no outsiders in the house, so you don't have to retreat, Tieqiu, you go and close the door, and no one is allowed to approach." ”
Yue Su's own martial arts are not weak, coupled with Tie Qiu and Jiang Jie, it is expected that even if someone has the ability to reach the sky, he will not succeed if he wants to assassinate.
Iron Bow agreed, ordered the guards who were guarding the outside to step away, and then closed the door. He stood at the door and did not move again.
Yue Su, who was sitting on it, smiled slightly and said, "Now that the door is closed, even if you say that you are my old acquaintance, you should also show the true face of Lushan, let me see it." ”
"That's nature." When the man finished speaking, he removed his hat at the same time.
"It's you ......" Seeing this person, Yue Su was taken aback, and never dreamed that he would see this person here.
This person is none other than Wei Zhongxian's righteous son, Tian Ergeng. Tian Ergeng will come and take the initiative to ask for a meeting, how can he not surprise Yue Su.
At this time, I saw Tian Ergeng smile slightly, rushed to the top of his hand, and said, "Lord Yue, don't come unharmed."
"Brother Tuotian's blessing, Yue has been pretty good in recent years. I don't know why Brother Tian came here to ask to see Yue? By the way, didn't Brother Tian leave the capital with Gonggong Wei, what is the situation of Gonggong Wei now?" Yue Su also said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir. The father-in-law is very tough, often lingering among the mountains and rivers, and occasionally vassal elegance. Tian came here, not for anything else, but because his father-in-law heard that the adults came to Huzhou some time ago, remembered the old people for many years, and wanted to talk about the parting feelings with the adults, and by the way into the friendship of the landlord. Tian Ergeng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"It turned out that Father-in-law Wei was going to invite me to the banquet, to be honest, since I said goodbye to Beijing, I miss my father-in-law very much, but I don't know where my father-in-law has gone. Today, my father-in-law took the initiative to invite, how could Su not go, I don't know where my father-in-law lives now, Su will go to visit tomorrow. Yue Su said sincerely.
"My father-in-law is now living outside Huzhou City, but outside of Lord Yue's travels, there are too many outposts, and if my lord leads a large group of people out, he will inevitably be discovered. After following him, he found his father-in-law's residence. Of course, these little people, the father-in-law still doesn't pay attention to them, but they are disturbed by others, which is really not good. Therefore, Tian hopes that Lord Yue can be cautious when he goes out, as for the specific location, if you say it below, the adults may not be able to find it, so Tian will take the adults with him. Tian Ergeng said.
Wei Zhongxian didn't want others to know where he lived, that was for sure, and Yue Su understood that. Similarly, outside of Xingyuan, someone was secretly watching, and Yue Su was also clear. There will be people from the Dragon Slaying Gang, and there will also be people from Dongchang.
Yue Su nodded and said, "Then Brother Tian thinks, when should we leave?" ”
"This evening, after the gates are closed. At that time, it was naturally easy for adults to go out, and others wanted to go out, but it was not so smooth. Moreover, Tian hoped that after leaving the city, it would be best to send a few people to guard the city gate, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were not allowed to let people out of the city. Tian Ergeng said with a light smile.
His words are really reasonable, this is an excellent way, others want to follow, it is a fantasy. Yue Su nodded and said, "Okay, then do what Brother Tian said."
In the evening, Yue Su ordered forty cronies to escort him, and called Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, and Jiang Jie to follow Tian Ergeng out of the door and go to the West Gate. Tian Ergeng still covered his face in case he was recognized, and Yue Su also changed his outfits, all of which were all in the same protective uniforms.
All of them rode fast horses, and in the evening, when the people in the streets were not very fast, and when there was no one, they quickened themselves and came to the west gate. The city gate is now closed, Jin Chan showed the governor's order, saying that Lord Yue sent the city to do an errand, after the soldiers guarding the gate saw it, how dare they stop it, and quickly open the city gate. Jin Cicada then left four more guards, saying that they were here to watch, and that the west gate would not be allowed to be opened again tonight unless they returned.
The soldiers guarding the gate were submissive, they knew Lord Yue's temper, who dared to half a 'no'7 words.
When Yue Su and his party left the city, the city gate was closed. To tell the truth, Tian Ergeng really said that there were really people watching outside Xingyuan, but the location was a street away from Xingyuan. Yue Su and the others galloped to the West Gate, the speed of the horses was not ordinarily fast, although the people who were watching, although they saw the officers and soldiers coming out, they wanted to follow, but how could they outrun the horses, and before they followed to the West Gate, they had already been thrown out of several streets. In desperation, I could only go to report the news.
Yue Su and the others left Huzhou City, and traveled all the way to the horse, running out of more than 20 miles in one go. Seeing that there was no one on the official road, everyone then took off the clothes of the officers and soldiers, took out civilian clothes from the baggage behind them, and changed them again. Then, Fang continued on his way.
Again. After walking for more than ten miles, I got off the official road, followed the country road, and came to a not very big house. Although this house is not large, it can also be seen that it is inhabited by a wealthy family in the countryside.
Tian Ergeng was the first to jump off the horse, knocked on the door a few times in front of the door, and then opened the courtyard door, a man in his thirties was born. When he saw that it was Tian Ergeng who knocked on the door, he immediately said with a smile: "Master Tian, you are back." ”
Tian Ergeng nodded, didn't speak to the man, just turned to Yue Su and said, "Please." After speaking, he entered the hospital first and flashed to the side.
Of course, Yue Su wouldn't be too careless, and glanced at the golden cicada beside him. The golden cicada immediately understood and urged the horse forward. Jin Cicada entered the courtyard, looked left and right, and saw that there were only two guards in the courtyard, so he turned around and nodded at Yue Su.
Seeing Jin Chan nodding, Yue Su led people into the courtyard.
They never dismounted, many of them held the hilt of the knife, Tian Ergeng saw it in his eyes, and did not say anything. Just told the man to wait and bring his mount in, and then lead the way first, and take Yue Su and the others to the back.
The yard is not very big, follow Tian Ergeng all the way to the back, and soon come to the Zhongjin compound. Tian Ergeng stopped in front of the Moon Gate and said, "Brother Yue, this is it." The father-in-law didn't like to disturb, so he asked the adults not to bring so many people in. ”
Tian Ergeng has always carried a hat, and now it is no exception, among Yue Su's subordinates, only Tie Qiu, Jiang Jie, and Jin Chan know his identity. Yue Su understood that the less people knew about his meeting with Wei Zhongxian, the better, and he didn't know if there were any talkative people among his guards who leaked the matter.
So, Yue Su jumped off his horse and said, "Mr. Jiang and Tieqiu, you two go in with me, and the others will wait here." ”
"Yes, sir."
