Chapter 56: Wei He is arrested
"Squeak" The clothes were torn, and Liu San was still rolling, but the speed was stagnant. The tall eunuch was furious and punched, his ears were filled with wind, and the big fist roared, Liu San just stabilized his body, and he didn't have any strength under his feet, and he couldn't let go for a while, so he reached out to meet it, only to hear a click, and Liu San's arms were broken like this.
The warriors of the Imperial Horse Prison rushed up, and a big man pressed Liu San to death, and then Ma shouldered his head and put his back on his back to Liu San, and then quickly knocked off his chin to check his mouth, and after finding that there was no poison, he stuffed a wooden stick and pressed his chin. With a stick in his mouth and a rope behind his head, he didn't delay his speech and couldn't bite his tongue to kill himself.
The flip just now seemed exciting, but in fact, it was only a blink of an eye, Liu San ran out in one go, but he was caught and pressed back in the blink of an eye. Dongchang Fanzi is indeed a gathering of masters, and it must not be underestimated.
Everyone in the tent looked stupid, Liu San was brought to Chen Hong to stand up without kneeling, Chen Hong shook his hand, and someone reached out to remove the deformed mask on Liu San's face. Chen Hong gasped and said, "It's you!" ”
"It's me, Chen Hong, this isn't the first time we've met, right?" Liu San laughed, the person behind him pressed down, and Liu San, who was taken off his arms, gasped in pain. Chen Hong stopped them, claiming that they should not be unreasonable, and it seemed that he had a lot of respect for this person, so he walked up to Liu San and smiled slightly: "I am really lucky today, you originally wanted to climb the pole and become a higher authority, probably because you want to go further and more conveniently spy on intelligence." But it was self-defeating. It's better to be a big-headed soldier and stand out from everyone. Wei He, being smart is mistaken by being smart, and it's too risky to make a bad move. But I really didn't expect you to be the first to take the lead. ”
It turned out that Liu San's real body turned out to be Wei He, the intelligence boss of Shuntian Mansion. Lu Bing has asked Wei He to come back to Shandong many times, don't compromise on the battlefield where there is no gunpowder smoke in intelligence, but Wei He is always not worried about the ability of his subordinates to do things, it is true that the espionage work behind the enemy line, if Wei He is there, even if many people have not seen Wei He and don't know where he is, as long as they can hear the news that he is there. You will feel a lot more at ease, and you will be able to work hard. On the contrary, they are flustered and unstable, or they have no intention of gathering intelligence and are not active in their work. Either they were caught in a panic. Over the years, Wei He and his subordinates have been going back and forth with Dongchang, fighting each other happily, basically no one can help anyone's state, which can be described as a powerful hunter and a cunning fox.
At this time, Wei He shook his head and said, "Without me, the intelligence department is still operating. There are other prep options. If you don't worry about Lord Chen, we will still add a lot of trouble to you, hehe, trouble. Wei He's mouth was pouting with a wooden stick, and his words were inevitably a little slurred, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth, looking a little wolf.
"You're still so hard-mouthed, when we first met, I remember when you were still a Jinyiwei. Help Lu Bing lead those spies in the capital. Let's talk briefly on the one side, how do you know that you and I are our own masters. Hehe, it's really ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, and now you are the intelligence boss under Lu Bing, and I have also climbed to the position of the superintendent of Dongchang. The vicissitudes of life have passed in a snap of time, although you and I have not met since then, but you have come and fought with me many times, Wei and we can be regarded as the best enemies, right? Chen Hong said.
Wei He shook his head: "Although I have taken the lead in repeated battles, I understand that I am not comparable to Chen Hong. To put it mildly, you are also a eunuch, if you are a healthy man, you must have better deeds, you are indeed Wen Taowu. It's not right, Zhu Houxi, a faint gentleman, is in charge, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to be promoted again if you are talented. In short, I think you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and you are really a talent of the Ming Dynasty, I admire you. ”
"Let's stop praising each other from here, if this reaches the ears of the saints, not only will your life not be saved, but I will also be implicated." After saying that, the two of them laughed, and they both felt a sigh, as if the two were close friends rather than mortal enemies.
Chen Hong said: "Wei He, you really can't help you this time, this is bound to show that God is not on Lu Bing's side, otherwise why would you still plant it after all your calculations?" I admire you, but I can't let you go. Chen Hong said and waved his hand and said, "Send Wei He to the prison, and now set off to go back." ”
Qianhu naturally knew who Wei He was, although he had never met him, but he had heard of it, because Wei He was also a person in the officialdom at the earliest, although he didn't know what he had done under Lu Bing all these years, but this person was a traitor to the Lu family. At this time, his face was pale, and the eldest brother under his command turned out to be the right-hand man of the anti-thief Lu Bing, and he was afraid that his thousand households would also come to an end. He rushed to Chen Hong, bowed his head and said again and again that the little damned adult forgives his sins and so on.
Chen Hong smiled and said: "You are guilty of negligence, you are indeed luring the wolf into the house, but you can't be blamed for this, wasn't the official deceived just now." So you, you just fine it for half a month, work hard, don't go wrong again. Qianhu raised his head and looked at Chen Hong, at this time Chen Hong was no longer the big tiger in Dongchang that everyone was afraid of, he was kind like an elder in the family. Qianhu couldn't kneel down with his fists clenched, Chen Hong walked a few steps and stopped and said: "Since Wei He is here, in order to show his feet when there are many people and miscellaneous communications, and in order to avoid being repeatedly censored because there are too many spies, then the team under your command must be the one with the fewest spies." I think about it, I think about it, well, yes, it must be like this, this is Wei He's way of thinking, you send all your men to escort us back to the palace. ”
"Yes." Chiho replied.
—————————————————————————————————————
Chen Hong did not put Wei He in the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, after all, Wei He was once subordinate to Jinyiwei, in case he knew some escape methods or had internal responses, of course, it was unlikely, because Beijinyiwei had been cleaned many times. But the road is one foot high and the magic is one foot high, Chen Hong is afraid that Bai Miyi will miss this God-given opportunity.
As a result, Wei He was imprisoned in the palace prison. Wei He had already been examined in his mouth and proved that there was no poison, but Wei He had already thought about it, and he would never confess no matter how inhumane treatment he received. Imagine that this stinky skin is not your own at all.
Wei He was not tortured immediately after being imprisoned in the prison, Wei He even saw another acquaintance locked in the next room in the prison, Tang Kekuan. Tong Kekuan had long been imprisoned in prison. The reason is that he has a close relationship with Lu Bing, is not loyal enough to the imperial court, and is disrespectful and unwilling to attack Lu Bing. Now that he has been imprisoned in the prison for some time, the whole person has been abused and taken off his face, and I heard that he has been sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn.
Wei He talked about the old relationship with Tang Kekuan across the wall, the two had fought side by side when they went to sea to conquer Ryukyu in the south, and they were comrades in life and death, so although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were very familiar. Wei He said: "Wuhe. Don't worry, you can't die, my lord will definitely come to save us. ”
"Huh. If I had only hoped for this, I would have confessed to this more than a year of imprisonment in the distant future. Tang Kekuan said: "But I don't have anything to recruit, it's just that I think Lu Bing is my brother, and I am not thin on me." I will not fail him. Ay. I don't know what Qi Jingtong and Yu Dayou think, the two of them are not stupid and loyal people, nor are they greedy for fame, let alone such unrighteous people. Wei He, do you know why they turned against Lu Bing? ”
"I don't know, but now these two people can bring a lot of trouble to the Lu family." Wei He said, Tang Kekuan shook his head and sighed: "Hey, the king is dark." Human nature is distorted, and this world is incomprehensible. Wei He told Tang Kekuan about what had happened in the past year. Tang Kekuan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect so much to happen in his year in prison.
At this time, the capital was already in the dark, and it was getting late, and the defense work of the capital was becoming more tense instead of slackening. By the night, no one noticed the hot air balloons floating in the sky, and no one saw a square of winged people taking off from the hot air balloons and hovering high in the sky, listening to the orders issued by the balloons, discerning the direction of the wind and observing the palace below.
The reason why the defense of Nanjing, the Shandong Guard, and the head-to-head confrontation between Xu Yang and Qi Jingtong did not use quite advanced hot air balloons, nor did they enjoy the unique benefits brought by air supremacy, is because all the hot air balloons were used in this air raid. If all the previous campaigns had used these hot air balloons and winged men, many things would not have happened, and with the help of telescopes, the enemy's ambush would have nowhere to hide, and every plan would have leaked out under the blue sky.
At this time, Zhu Houxi was working in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and he had an inexplicable feeling of panic in his heart, it is said that today should be a good day, and he caught Lu Bing's important minister Wei He, but why did he feel like this? Zhu Houyu called Chen Hong, Chen Hong went to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts and knelt on the ground with his fists folded, Zhu Houyu said: "Get up, Wei He, here you and I don't have to be restrained." ”
"Thank you, I don't know why the Holy Xuanchen came?" Chen Hong asked, after nightfall, Chen Hong felt a little restless, which was different from the previous tension, as if he had a premonition that something was about to happen.
Zhu Houxi said: "I am a little flustered in my heart, and I don't know why I am flustered, Chen Hong, you can stay by my side, so that I can feel at ease." ”
Chen Hong's face turned a little pale in an instant, and he said that it was definitely not a good thing for the two of them to have a premonition together, so he said: "The minister also feels that the feeling of panic is at work in his heart, the saint, you said that something is going to happen, the minister still hurry down, and order a strict investigation to tighten the guards." ”
Zhu Houxi's body shook and nodded again and again: "You go quickly!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I only heard the explosion outside. Zhu Houxi was shocked, and Chen Hong shouted: "Holy Lord, quickly enter the secret room to hide." "The so-called secret room is in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the Heart Cultivation Hall was built by Zhu Houxi, after all, it is the old Zhu family, and he likes to leave a glimmer of life, so the Heart Cultivation Hall may not be as big as other main halls, but in fact, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and it is all available from the secret room to the tunnel.
Zhu Houxi didn't hesitate, and directly got into the mechanism that broke the chair and entered the Heart Cultivation Palace. The explosion came from Lu Bing's balloon airdrop, because the hot air balloon was affected by the wind direction, so no matter how much you train the accuracy of the airdrop, it may not be accurate. But Lu Bingsheng was in the dense distance, looking up, the sky was extremely dark, and in the distance, he intuitively felt that the sky above the palace was darker than in other places, but it was caused by the hot air balloons blocking the moonlight.
