Chapter Seventy-Nine: Night
The night can always cover up a lot of things, no matter how dirty or ugly, it can be unnoticed in this dark night.
The feng shui of the capital is rich in the east and expensive in the west, poor in the south and poor in the north, as the most noble people in the western city, it is very quiet every night. Patrolling soldiers always walk by inadvertently, carefully patrolling everything here. Once something happens here, a break, the city patrol royal history will have to be laid off, so every city patrol imperial history is to pay special attention to the security of the West City.
After a group of officers and soldiers had passed, a man hiding behind a tree appeared on the street in a flash. This is a person who is dressed in night clothes all over his body, and he can only see a pair of eyes, which are exceptionally bright.
Walking quickly to the bottom of a wall, the man in black looked up at the height of the wall without the slightest hesitation. The man in black took out something from his waist, which was a three-grappling hook, the front of which was made of stainless steel and resembled the talons of an eagle, and the back of the talons was tied with a soft rope. Holding the soft rope in his hand, he turned it around a few times, and the man in black threw it out like a claw.
When the claws flew over the wall, the man in black tugged hard, kicked the ground with his feet, and grabbed the rope with both hands, and the man in black flew up the wall. Subconsciously looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, the man in black jumped into the courtyard.
seems to be very familiar with this courtyard, the man in black keeps shuttling in the yard, bypassing the corridor, walking through the rockery, and avoiding the patrolling family. Eventually, the man in black stopped at the door of a small courtyard.
After looking around, seeing that there was no one, the man in black covered his mouth with his hand and opened his mouth to learn how to meow. "Meow, meow, meow." Three cat meows, no more, no less, the man in black learned vividly.
After a short time, footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and the man came to the door of the courtyard and said to the outside: "A few knives in the brocade clothes under the hall." ”
The man in black also seemed to be waiting for someone, and when he heard this, he immediately arrived: "There are seven knives in brocade clothes under the hall." ”
As soon as the man in black's words fell, the people inside immediately opened the courtyard door, and the man in black entered the small courtyard in a flash.
The two of them did not stop, but quickly came to a room in the courtyard, and the man looked left and right, and then closed the door of the house. This is an old man in his fifties, and after glancing at the man in black, the old man immediately knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Cheng, the captain of the Jinyi Guard, has seen Lord Zongqi." ”
The man in black nodded, glanced at Zhang Cheng who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Get up!" I'm looking for you this time for something! ”
"If your lord has anything to order, Zhang Cheng will definitely do his best!" The old man stood up, but still saluted the man in black.
Nodding slightly, the black man said: "You are the spy of our Jinyi Guard, and you are also the hereditary captain of the Jinyi Guard, this position is imprinted in your bones, so you should know the seriousness of the matter." Twenty years ago, Jinyiwei used you, and twenty years have passed, I hope you haven't forgotten your identity. He didn't explain his intentions, the eyes of the man in black were fierce, and the threat in his words was self-evident.
"My lord, I understand the lowly position, this brocade guard is handed down from the ancestors, and the importance of the lowly duty in this is naturally understood." The old man nodded with a stern face, although he was an agent of Jinyiwei, he still knew something about it.
"Our Jinyi Wei is rewarded for meritorious service, and punishment must be punished for mistakes. As a captain of the brocade, if you do a good job this time, your son will get the hereditary banner of your brocade guard. If it doesn't work out well, I don't know if your son will die. Obviously, the man in black didn't believe the old man's words, and his eyes flashed fiercely, still threatening.
The middle-aged man's body trembled slightly, and he glanced at the man in black, this time he didn't speak, just nodded vigorously. is not only for the life of his family, but if he can fight for a future for his son, it will be worth it.
The man in black nodded, and said expressionlessly, "How many years have you been a housekeeper in the Gu Mansion?" ”
"My lord, it's been ten years, and it's been ten years since I came here." Although the old man didn't know why the man in black asked this, he still replied respectfully.
The man in black nodded, glanced at the old man, and said in a deep voice, "You should know Gu Yu's current situation, right?" This is directly related to what you are going to do this time. ”
The old man thought of Gu Yu's return to the house, and said softly: "My lord, I know, Gu Yu has been dismissed." ”
"Well, this time things are like this, if you want to figure out why Gu Yu is involved in the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi, you must get evidence!" The man in black explained a few more words to the old man, and then walked out of the house slowly, and in the old man's uncertain face, the figure of the man in black disappeared into the night.
In this dark night, many people are moving, many people are in a bad mood, and of course there are many people who can sleep until dawn.
The night in the capital is dark, and the night in Liaodong is also black, there is no difference. In the study room of the Governor's Mansion in Shenyang City, two people were also talking.
"Father, are you a little impatient this time? We are not very well prepared here, as long as the imperial court sends someone to check, there will definitely be problems. The speaker was a middle-aged man in his thirties, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his eyes flickered from time to time.
"Ping'er, although you have an excellent mind, you are not as good as a father in this court. Although his father was angry with Xiong Tingbi because of Yang Hao's affairs, his father had not yet reached the point where he did not care about himself in order to avenge him. Xiong Tingbi's prestige in the Liaodong army is very high, and this time he repelled the Tartars, if he doesn't think of some way, his father will not be able to contain him. The foundation of our Yang family is in this Liaodong territory, and Yang Hao's death was a great blow to our Yang family, and Xiong Tingbi and us were enemies. Yang Yuan glanced at his son Yang Ping, and then said: "If you don't get rid of him now, then in the future, the father will probably become the next Yang Hao." ”
"But father, once the imperial court sends someone to investigate, won't something happen?" Yang Ping obviously disagreed with Yang Yuan's opinion, looked at Yang Yuan with some concern, and sighed.
"Ping'er, the imperial court won't send people, even if they do, they will say anything, and he will check what we say! We are not the only ones in the court who want Xiong Tingbi to die, and my father has already sent 30,000 taels of silver to Beijing to make a point, and the silver can be channeled, let alone a person? After a slight hesitation, Yang Yuan continued: "Besides, those people will not let go of this opportunity, how can Liaodong not be a piece of fat in the eyes of those people?" If they had someone here, it would be much easier to sell things, and they wouldn't let go of this opportunity! ”
After listening to Yang Yuan's words, Yang Ping nodded thoughtfully, it seems that the water in this court is not ordinarily deep!
The last watch, your reminder ticket! I'm so helpless! So be it! Ask for a change vote, don't vote after 12 o'clock! As long as the reminder vote is in place, it will be 12,000 tomorrow, and this time the hand-wrecked party will fight! Rise, rise, rise!
