Rong Lu returned to the entrance of the cave in despair, and the sound of gambling in the cave was still heard, but it was extremely harsh in his ears. Cheng En was still sitting comfortably at the entrance of the cave with a teacup and tasting tea, seeing that his face was unhappy, he asked with a smile: "What's the matter, I was fascinated by the female ghost in the palace again?" ”

Rong Lu was furious and lifted Chengen's tea case: "Mini girl! He was furious, and the popular scolding of later generations rushed out of his mouth, Cheng En looked at Rong Lu with a teacup in a daze, and he didn't know where his ignorant karmic fire came from, and he didn't understand what your sister meant, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, so he was stunned on the spot.

Several guards in the cave heard the movement and rushed out to check, and the foreman guard asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng En was afraid that he would be caught and hurt again, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "My lord, it's okay, it's just that the tea case was accidentally overturned." ”

The foreman of the guard scolded angrily: "Damn, clumsy like a pig, give birth to some This is in the palace, and the little fucking one will make trouble for Lao Tzu!" With that, he turned his head and led the people back to gamble.

Rong Lu's eyes were full of anger on the side, if Cheng En hadn't seen his unkind face and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, Rong Lu was afraid that he would pounce and fight with the guard foreman.

Finally held Rong Lu down and sat down, Cheng En wiped his sweat, and begged: "My ancestor alas, you are my master, it's done, this is in the palace, enter the door of the Qianqing Palace, this is not a place where we can be casual, Master Rong, how about you have a good life, let my brother and I have a good cup of tea and rice to eat." ”

After Rong Lu sat down sullenly, he was silent for a long time, and Cheng En asked while packing up the things on the ground, "What's wrong?" If there is anything unpleasant, let's hear it, and my brother will help you think about it. ”

Seeing that Rong Lu was silent, Cheng En continued to take care of himself: "Our old man is angry, it's not for money or for women, you kid is not short of money, and you should be a fart when you look at power, it seems that you are vomiting for women." Listen to my brother's words, this woman has a lot in the world, this can't do anything else, why bother to? The most important thing for us men is to be rich and powerful, and after having money and power, what kind of woman doesn't have it? To tell the truth, if you go down in such a puddle of mud and no woman can look at it, you deserve to go to Bada Hutong to find those fireworks women who are not in the flow to buy laughter. ”

After listening to Cheng En's words, Rong Lu was slightly stunned and repeated: "After being rich and powerful, what kind of woman doesn't have it?" ”

Cheng En only said that he was enlightened, and then said: "That's natural, if one day, you can go to the cabinet to worship the prime minister, hold the real power, one person under ten thousand people, what women are not all you to take?" Master Rong, you should always take care of the present, if you have no money and no power, which girl will be willing to follow you? Even if someone posts it, it's not something you can look at. If you want to do what you want, you have to climb higher. ”

Rong Lu seemed to have realized something, and muttered from time to time: "If you want her to follow me, I want to be powerful?" One person below ten thousand people? ”

Cheng En was secretly funny, this stunned Qing finally stopped, and he was relieved, but looking at the tea set that was broken by Rong Lu, Cheng En was very distressed, thinking about how to get this loss back from Rong Lu, and the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and no one said anything else.

After the shift that night, everyone returned to Luan Yiwei's errand room, and Su Shun waited there early with a few sticky sticks to worship Tang, it seemed that there was a big arrangement.

After Su Shun summoned all the guards to sit down in the secret room, he said slowly: "Today, the anti-thieves and the party are rampant, and there are also anti-thieves and spies in the palace. This matter has not been mentioned to you before, because this matter has not been clarified, it is inconvenient to disclose, now the matter has a clue, today I will make it clear to you, the errand will be arranged later, be sure to catch the hidden thieves in the palace! ”

At present, Su Shun said the past of the Tianli Sect, this Tianli Sect is a branch of the White Lotus Sect, which is the White Lotus Sect in the middle of Jiaqing After the failure of the Sichuan and Chu uprising, some of the followers wandered around, and organized in Henan, and launched an uprising in the capital and Henan, also known as the Bagua Sect, and the main leaders were Li Wencheng and Feng Keshan from Huaxian County, Henan Province and Lin Qing from Daxing County, Gyeonggi Province. The sect takes the gossip as the branch name, and each has the head of the hexagram, and the shock hexagram is the head of the seven trigrams, and the nine palaces are also in charge of the gossip. The main scriptures are "The Three Buddhas Should Tribulate the Tongguan Tongshu" and so on. Spread the eight-character mantra of "vacuum hometown, no biological mother". The Tianli Sect broke through the tradition of the hereditary missionary families of the Bagua Sect to collect money for self-enrichment, and put forward the idea that those who joined the Sect should pay the foundation money or the seed blessing money, and give the official position of the land mu after the incident, and launched several uprisings of the rebels, intending to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty. In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing, the Tianli Sect had organized and launched an uprising of believers in Beijing, Henan, Shandong and other places, and a branch of the Beijing division had attacked the Forbidden City under the response of the eunuchs in the palace, and almost succeeded, and then failed successively under the suppression of the Qing army.

But most of the Tianli Sect is the common people, and when they saw that the Qing court was very strict in encirclement and suppression, they all hid into the people and broke into pieces, because the Tianli Sect has not really died out in the north, and the remnants of the Tianli Sect that Su Shun said still have people acting in the palace, so that the hearts of the guards are all in the heart.

Su Shun lifted the lid of the tea bowl and said: "There is a branch of the thieves in the capital on this day, and the official has already led people to investigate it a few days ago, and he will take people tonight." This official is afraid that these bandits in the capital are bright, so he does not intend to alarm the infantry army to lead the yamen and the Jiumen guards, let's do it ourselves in the spare place of Shangyu tonight, everyone prepare, let's copy the guys. As for the remnants of the palace, if we can find out the news from the captured people tonight, let's take people again, in short, we must leave a living mouth, the emperor means that if there is real evidence, we will secretly take people, and do not alarm everyone in the palace, so as not to make people panic. ”

The guards chatted together and prepared to go. Cheng En stabbed Rong Lu and said, "Master Rong, it's time for meritorious service, our brothers are going to show their faces." ”

Rong Lu clenched his fists and said: "Brother Chengen, you are right, if you have no power or power, you have nothing, I can only step on other people's corpses and climb up!" ”

Cheng En smiled: "This is natural, our master's achievements depend on these anti-thieves, we can only blame them for their bad luck, and they want to do what anti-thieves." ”

Rong Lu took a deep breath, his eyes turned red, and he said coldly: "Yes, since God has arranged it like this, then I will follow this path, even if it is to pave the way with other people's blood!" ”

Cheng En was startled when he saw his cruel face, and he didn't know if he was right to raise his ambition like this.

That night, Su Shun led the Shangyu Reserve Office to raid the only stronghold of the Tianli Sect in the capital, and the Dong family pharmacy in the capital, big and small, captured more than ten people, along with their relatives and friends, and arrested a total of hundreds of men, women, and children. In this battle, Rong Lu's performance was very eye-catching, his lifeless pursuit, and he suffered three wounds before he captured the owner of the Dong family's pharmacy.

Su Shun saw that Rong Lu was so brave, so he naturally took a fancy to him more, and promoted him to the foreman guard, bringing a team of people, and Cheng En was also assigned to Rong Lu and became Rong Lu's deputy.

After the cadres of the Dong family pharmacy waited for the prison of the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department could not hear the case, and Su Shun handled it himself. Under some interrogation, most people didn't know that their owner was a figure of the Tianli Sect, and among the several heads of the Dong family pharmacy headed by him, only the boss knew about the affairs in the palace. But Boss Dong is a tough guy, and the jailers in the prison of the Criminal Department can't pry his mouth open by all means, and Zuihou can't survive but die in prison.

Su Shun, who had broken the clue, was furious, and the jailers of the Criminal Department were rectified, and then all the hundreds of people captured by the Dong family pharmacy were secretly executed, so that he could vent his anger.

Although the Qing court smashed the Tianli Sect stronghold outside the palace, the remnants of the Tianli Sect lurking in the palace never had a clue, and Su Shun was hindered by Xianfeng's will, and could not be as aggressively searched and arrested as outside the palace, for fear of disturbing the ** people, so he had to ask Xianfeng to send additional guards from the Shangyu Reserve Office into the palace, hoping to let the guards listen to some news from the eunuchs and palace maids when they were on duty every day.

Rong Lu originally wanted to take this opportunity to Zaijian Lan Guiren after entering the palace, but that night Su Shun summoned him and Cheng En alone, and arranged an errand for the two of them, dispelling Rong Lu's fake public and private Jihua.

In Luan Yiwei Su Shun's study, Su Shun looked at Cheng En, who was a little restrained, and then looked at Rong Lu, who was as usual indifferently, and was still a little surprised in his heart Rong Lu's talent, who was only sixteen or seven years old, but he was ruthless in his work, and he was not surprised by his honor.

After coughing lightly, Su Shun said: "There is an errand that needs someone to go out of the palace to the south to do, now the long-haired thieves in the south are rampant, and they are rushing down the river, and it is expected that Nanjing can only be held for a few months, Su Song Taidao Wu Jianzhang reported that there was a heaven and earth in Qingpu County to fight against the thief Zhou Lichun and other anti-grain uprisings, and the defeated officials and troops in Tangwan, Huangdu and other places, and recently united with the thieves and Arhat Party in Nanxiang Town, Jiading, plotting a bigger incident. The Military Aircraft Department, the Military Department and other departments have instructed Wu Jianzhang to send troops to exterminate him as soon as possible, but it seems to me that Wu Jianzhang is only afraid that he will be defeated again. Nanjing has the governor of Liangjiang Lu Jianying to guard, the city is high soldiers, it is not difficult to defend the palace, I am afraid that the rebels and thieves in Wu will collude with the long-haired thieves, if the thieves in Wu take advantage of the situation to raise troops, Nanjing is a lonely city. Therefore, this official decided to send the two of you to take the lead and lead people south to destroy the thieves of the Wudi Heaven and Earth Society. You have to find out here, I think that the thieves and gangs in Wu are not monolithic, and they can be co-opted as much as possible for my use, in short, we want to let them fall into self-chaos, and they have no time to help the long-haired thieves. ”

Rong Lu was slightly stunned, the Taiping army did not use any heaven and earth to capture Nanjing in history, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "My lord, what if Nanjing can't be held for so long?" ”

Su Shun was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Then we must also act according to this strategy, let the thieves in Wudi mess with themselves, and keep the peace of Su Song Taidao and Shanghai, then I will have the way out of the sea by sea!" Rong Lu didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, and after Su Shun explained some more details, the two of them prepared to select people to leave Beijing overnight.

After Rong Lu left, Su Shun frowned and muttered to himself, "How did this kid see that Lu Jianying couldn't hold on for so long?" If Nanjing is lost, half of the south wall of the Qing River will be shaken, alas, and it can only do its best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”
