Chapter 63 Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea

"My lord, Wu Sinan set up a large camp outside Zhangjiakou, and dug trenches and traps inside the camp as a barrier outside the north gate of Zhangjiakou. This big camp is used to block the Tartars, which is very good, but invisibly, it also adds a barrier to enter Zhangjiakou. The generals of the garrison collect the silver on the road every day, which can be described as a goose pulling out, eating all the sizes, as long as there are goods on them, they have to pay money. And it seems that more than half of the silver collected can fall into Wu Sinan's hands. ”

On this day, Cao Yu rushed back from Zhangjiakou and truthfully reported the situation found there to Yue Su.

Yue Su nodded and said, "Very good, is there anything else?" ”

"Nope." Cao Yu replied.

"Then you go down to rest first, and then go back tomorrow and keep an eye on me."

"Yes, sir."

After Cao Yu went down, Yue Su looked at Jiang Jie, who was sitting with his hands down, and said: "Sir, it seems that I underestimated him at the beginning, but I didn't expect him to have such a method, it seems that Zhangjiakou's bit of cattiness can be found out in the near future, and it is really a bit redundant to go to so many people through six doors." ”

"Wu Sinan's ability has now been shown, and he is indeed a capable person, and that little thing in Zhangjiakou will be solved in a few days as the adults said. However, the subordinates who sent six doors felt that it was not redundant at all, and even felt that it was not enough. Jiang Jie said with a smile.

"Why does the gentleman say that?" Yue Su then asked.

"We actually know a rough idea of the situation in Zhangjiakou, Wu Sinan made this card, to put it bluntly, he also deceived those Jin merchants, and wanted to seize the stolen goods when they resold military supplies. But as we said earlier, Wu Sinan didn't have many soldiers under him, and he made this trick, which more or less meant to divide and disintegrate the generals in Zhangjiakou, and take the opportunity to buy people's hearts. However, most of the generals in Zhangjiakou are Tian Xiu's people, and they have been under his command for many years, no matter what thoughts they have hidden in their hearts, they are somewhat afraid of him. And Jin merchants have been operating in Zhangjiakou for many years, once they tear their faces, they will meet each other, and it is really hard to say whether Wu Sinan can hold it down. Therefore, the subordinates think that not only is it not redundant for the people of the six doors to go, but on the contrary, the adults should go there in person. After Jiang Jie finished speaking, he looked at Yue Su with a smile on his face.

"I'll take a trip myself......," Yue Su pondered for a moment, and said: "With my current position, if I move, the officials of the DPRK and China must know that those Jin merchants must have colluded with the people in the court, in case they know that I went to Zhangjiakou, I am afraid that they will be more cautious, and the net that Wu Sinan has laid is very likely to be wasted." ”

"Of course, adults can't go openly, go secretly, and give Wu Sinan a seat to get the full credit. Otherwise, relying on Wu Sinan alone, ten chances will be a failure. Jiang Jie said flatly.

"If you go secretly, you can't mobilize a large number of people, and isn't it a drop in the bucket to go like this?" Yue Su said puzzled.

"Don't be arrogant, my lord, when today, the name of 'Yue Qingtian' is enough to be worth 100,000 male soldiers. As soon as the adults arrived, the officers and soldiers of Zhangjiakou, who would dare to stand on Tian Xiu's side. And the adults went this time, not only to deter the soldiers and horses of Zhangjiakou, but more importantly, ......" Jiang Jie paused before saying: "Standing behind Zhangjiakou's backer." Wu Sinan caught the matter of Jin merchants smuggling military supplies, and adults can imagine how many people will be implicated. Military supplies did not fall out of thin air, but must have been bought from the hands of the local military supervisors and local military war bureaus. How many people are involved, in addition to those eunuchs, the feudal officials are also implicated, as well as the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee. If you really want to uncover, can he, Wu Sinan, withstand the attack of so many people, the entire Xuanfu will come to him, and Cui Jingrong, the governor of Xuanda, will even bear the brunt. It will definitely make it difficult for Wu Sinan to move an inch in Zhangjiakou, and it is impossible for him to be sent to Beijing even if he is tortured, and it is not impossible to finally frame him for a crime and take poison. My lord, you are not sitting there, can you do it? ”

Yue Su actually thought that once Wu Sinan found out that the Jin merchants were selling military supplies, they would be very involved, and now once Jiang Jie analyzed it like this, he thought it was true, at that time, the officials involved would inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry, if it was really the governor of Xuanda, Wei Wu Sinan's words, it was really impossible to kill him, and he was making some illusions.

"What Mr. said is good, it is indeed possible, it seems that this Zhangjiakou, I really want to run again in person. It's just that if I don't go to the cabinet on this day, someone will know that I can't pretend to be sick again. After Yue Su finished speaking, he actually smiled.

"You have to pretend to be sick, not only to pretend, but also to pretend to be very similar. However, you must say hello to the Queen Mother and let her know. Jiang Jie said.

"Okay, let's do it again."

Late at night, a man in black sneaked into Lord Yue's mansion, this person seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of Yue's mansion, familiar enough to avoid all sentry posts, and came to the backyard where Lord Yue lived with ease.

Lord Yue and Ruan Aoyue slept in the bedroom tonight, and there was a vigil in the courtyard, but what was puzzling was that Xiao Hei didn't even scream, so the man in black broke through the window and rushed into Yue Su's bedroom.

Yue Su and his wife were unprepared, and were caught off guard by the man in black, Lord Yue was seriously injured, and his wife was also stabbed, but fortunately, both of them had martial arts, and while barely resisting, they shouted loudly, and soon Tie Qiu came with an escort to take down the assassin. I don't want the assassin to take poison, through the poison, it is easy to determine that he is a member of the Dragon Slaying Gang.

When the assassin died, the corpse was left in Lord Yue's mansion, but there were not many people who had really seen the true face of the corpse, only a few of Lord Yue's henchmen. However, the assassination of Lord Yue and his wife soon spread in Beijing, and even the vendor who set up the stall knew that Lord Yue and his wife were stabbed by the remnants of the Dragon Slaying Gang.

A big reason why the news can spread so quickly is because all the yamen in Beijing City, such as Shuntianfu and the Criminal Department, are all dispatched to find the remnants of the Dragon Slaying Gang everywhere.

When the second assistant of the court and the minister of Tuogu were assassinated, it was a sensation for the government and the opposition, and the officials of the Yue Party were so anxious that they rushed to the Yue Mansion to visit Lord Yue. Lord Yue also had to meet him that day, and he met them one by one, but he seemed to be seriously injured and didn't talk much. The officials of the other parties, led by the Donglin Party, were simply gloating, complaining in their hearts about the assassin, why they didn't hack Yue Su to death with a single sword, and let him survive. At present, Han Yi has entered the cabinet and become the first assistant, but with Yue Su, the minister of Tuogu, suppressing it in front, Han Yi's words are basically useless, plus the cabinet ministers are either officials of the Yue Party or the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, and there is not much difference between Han Shoufu and decorations.

But Lord Yue's official position is there after all, no matter whether you and Lord Yue have an enmity or not, you have to go to Yue's mansion, but Lord Yue is not allowed to visit you when you say visit, if you want to enter the door, you must at least have three grades or more, and if you can't reach this level, you can go wherever you fall in love.

Zhang Yan naturally knew that Yue Su was assassinated and injured, and now Zhang Yan has increased a lot of good feelings towards Yue Su, especially when she thinks of the face of those thirty-somethings, her temples are already white, and she feels inexplicably sad. Hearing that Yue Su was injured, Zhang Yanfeng was furious and ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to all go out to search the remaining party of the Dragon Gang in the city. and sent the eunuch Liu Mingguo, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, to visit with the imperial doctor.

However, Lord Yue, this is a traumatic injury, and the wounds have already been bandaged, so you can't reveal it to the imperial doctor, at most, it will let you look at it. The conclusion given by the imperial doctor was that Lord Yue's injuries were not light, but fortunately, his body was strong and not life-threatening, and he could be healed after a few days of cultivation.

After the imperial doctor finished his pulse, he was invited out, leaving only Yue Su, Liu Mingguo and Jiang Jie in the room, at this time, Yue Su suddenly smiled at Liu Mingguo, and Liu Gonggong didn't seem to arrive at the accident, but also smiled.

Yue Su deceived himself and was going to go to Zhangjiakou, and dragged out the whole thing, hoping that Liu Mingguo would help tell the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother would not have to worry too much about her injury, this was just a plan of the ministers to hide from the world.

Liu Mingguo and Yue Su are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, since Yue Su came back, his status has obviously improved, in the master of ceremonies, many people who used to meet Zou Yi have also fallen to his side. After all, everyone knows that Zou Yi is old and can't do it for a few years, Yue Da is still leaning towards the government and the opposition, and he is young, Liu Mingguo is Yue Daren's person, and when Zou Yi steps down, whether it is the master of ceremonies or Dongchang, it is estimated that it will be Liu Gonggong's opinion.

After talking about his intentions, Yue Su asked Liu Mingguo to go back, and he didn't have to stay in the mansion for too long, so as not to arouse suspicion. Liu Mingguo understood what Yue Su meant, so he got up to say goodbye, returned to the Forbidden City, and truthfully told the Queen Mother about Yue Su's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea.

Why do you want to tell the Queen Mother, it is because the matter will definitely come out in the future, and the Queen Mother will know at that time that she will definitely be dissatisfied with Yue Su. And now that she tells her, the Queen Mother will not leak it out, but will feel that Yue Su is loyal and dissatisfied with the leader in everything.

Yue Su was injured, and it was normal for him to come and go in the house, but Lord Yue needed to recuperate, and if you visited once, it was enough, and you didn't have to come to see it every day. A day later, Yue Su quietly left Yue's Mansion with Yin Zhu, Tie Qiu, Li Haoran, Jiang Jie, Sima Qiaoyu and fifty personal guards. It is said that it is very common to come and go at this time, plus they are very secretive, and there is no suspicion, and even Lord Yue even brought the royal flag and the three bronze guillotines with him.

Not to mention that Lord Yue quietly rushed to Zhangjiakou, that is, on this day, Zhangjiakou's Jin Ji Goods Store and Wang Ji Goods Company, respectively, forty mule carts came out of the goods store and headed towards the north gate.

Jin Ji Cargo Company and Wang Ji Cargo Bank belong to large commercial houses, and they generally return goods outside the customs, and they are generally large-scale, and other merchants jointly form a caravan to go out of the customs, only dozens of trucks, and these two can produce dozens of trucks alone.

The truck soon came to the north gate, and the officers and soldiers guarding the north gate, as soon as they saw the flag, they knew that it was the truck of Wang Ji and Jin Ji, and everyone knew that this was the famous God of Wealth, and they did not need to deliberately make things difficult, and they would take the initiative to send silver.

Sure enough, the stewards of Jin Ji Goods Store and Wang Ji Goods Store each came to the city gate with a bag of silver, and put the silver up, and the generals guarding the door immediately let them go, as for what was pulled on the car, they didn't even look at it.

As soon as the truck left the city gate, it didn't go a few steps forward, and it was a large camp outside the city.
