Chapter 744: Surprise Attack
A secret letter was suddenly delivered to Liang Shiqi.
"Who sent this letter?" Liang Shiqi was not in a hurry to open it, and asked his heart and abdomen first.
"The villain didn't know, it was a little beggar who handed it over to the villain, and asked the villain to hand it over to the commander, and after the beggar described and sent the letter, the villain only heard that it was a man about thirty years old, about the same size as the villain, and gave the beggar a hundred dollars to let him run this leg."
Liang Shiqi opened the letter at this time, only to see that there was only a location written on it, and there was a payment, and the words "Wuyake" were written on it, but it was these three words that made Liang Shiqi feel shocked.
Idlers may not know, but after all, he serves as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, how can he not know that Wuyak is the alias of His Royal Highness the Prince, although this is just a signature and not a seal, but Liang Shiqi as a commander naturally maintains professional sensitivity, this address is in the capital, and he is not a powerless person, and he is afraid to go to find out the truth and the results of the conspiracy?
Liang Shiqi immediately went to the teahouse where the letter was written.
The lobby of the teahouse is extremely elegantly arranged, and there are several tables of scribes sitting there to taste tea and talk, although it is now a national funeral, but it is not even forbidden to wait for idlers to taste tea and talk, as soon as Liang Shiqi entered, there was a young man with a smile on his face to greet him: "Lord Liang, please enter the back of the courtyard." ”
"Do you recognize me?" Liang Shiqi stared at the young man.
"The guests of the elegant courtyard first showed the little one the portrait of Lord Liang, and the portrait was extremely realistic, and the villain recognized Lord Liang at a glance."
The young man is still full of courtesy.
The guests of the elegant courtyard are rich and noble children at a glance, otherwise how could they directly contract the entire elegant courtyard with such a large amount of money, without bargaining?! The rich is the uncle, and the guests invited by the rich are of course also the uncle, although the young man does not know that Liang Shiqi is the famous commander of the Jinyi Guard, and only according to the advice of the distinguished guests, but the attitude is of course to be flattering and courteous.
Liang Shiqi also passed by this teahouse in the past, knowing that the owner is a relatively well-known businessman in the capital, the teahouse has been open for some years, and there is nothing suspicious, so he is not worried about what kind of trap he will ambush in this teahouse, no longer asking, followed the little guy directly through the lobby, bypassing a shadow wall, the young man no longer went inside, just stretched out his hand and signaled: "The two guest officers are in the tea room behind the osmanthus tree, Lord Liang, please, the small inconvenience is disturbed." ”
Liang Shiqi pushed the door in, and what he saw was indeed the prince, and Zhao Duyu, who was young and promising and respectful of the Manchu civil and military affairs, and the last trace of his son's suspicions disappeared, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
It was Lan Ting who returned the salute, the prince sat still, only smiled and motioned for Liang Shiqi to sit down, and went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth: "I invite Liang Gong to come here today, there are some things that need to be said privately with Liang Gong, so I will not be polite with Liang Gong, there is one thing, Liang Gong needs Liang Gong to listen to it, only this one thing, Liang Gong must promise to hide it from others, and even Ling Zishen must not reveal it, if Liang Gong is willing to obey the order, then let Zhao Duyu continue to speak." ”
How can Liang Shiqi not be happy?
It is no longer a day or two for him to want to regain real power from Tao Xiaoshen, and he does not necessarily count on his son-in-law Shen Changying, although he is no longer in the prime of life according to his age, he is in the military position, and his body is very tough, and he is not at the point where Zhishi needs his son-in-law to take over the power. However, he himself can't go through Gong Wang's path, and he has never won the trust of the prince, so he can only count on his son-in-law to be able to climb Gong Wang and gradually win the favor of the prince, but now the prince takes the initiative to reach out to solicit him, and Liang Shiqi is simply overjoyed.
A passing show of loyalty is also inevitable.
The crown prince and Lan Ting were also extremely patient, and after he showed his loyalty, Lan Ting said: "Dong Qianwei of the Jinyi Health Department has discovered that important case, and Liang Gong should have heard about it." ”
Liang Shiqi naturally knew in his heart, and guessed that since Lan Ting was present today, he must have sought the prince's approval, and what he did was nothing more than privately rescuing his father-in-law, and he was not questioned by Jinyi Wei, but Liang Shiqi couldn't admit this, and hurriedly said: "Although the lowly post is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, His Royal Highness did not hand over the important case to the lowly prosecutor's office, although Dong Guanjian is the old department of the lowly position, he does not dare to violate discipline and disclose the case privately." ”
Lan Ting knew that he didn't tell the truth, but there was no need to debunk it, so he just used some words to explain the matter in detail.
Liang Shiqi saw that the prince had no objections, and naturally did not question it at the moment, and swore that only the prince's order would be obeyed.
Since Jinyiwei, there is a lot of information at hand, and there is no shortage of commanders who participate in the political struggle for the reserve, but Liang Shiqi will inevitably act more cautiously because he was set up early, although there was once the king of Linzi and even Cheng Enbo recruited him to surrender, but Liang Shiqi did not easily stand in line, he was waiting for the East Palace to be determined, and the prince who was loyal to the fact can take many fewer risks than rashly standing in line from the beginning, not to mention that now Emperor Hongfu has handed over Jinyiwei to the prince for moderation, and Gu Jicang's case has indeed been reported to the emperor. He only obeyed the prince's order as a matter of course.
The only risk is that the crown prince will not be able to inherit the throne in the end, but such a risk is very small, and even if it really comes to that situation, there is no room for mediation.
Lan Ting also believed that although Liang Shiqi was cunning, he would not dare to hide the traitor in this matter, but after Liang Shiqi expressed his loyalty again, he said: "Wait for it, Liang Gong don't forget to do this thing again......
Liang Shiqi was a little puzzled by Lan Ting's final confession, but he knew that Jin Yiwei only had to act according to the order, and he must not test the rules of his opinion, and when he came out of this teahouse, everyone would have to go to Beizhen Fusi, and only summoned a number of subordinates, even if he followed the order.
——
Huairou County is about 100 miles away from the capital, located at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, and there are Chonggang stacked banners in the territory for thousands of miles, and these reckless and continuous mountains are like a natural screen guarding Kyoto.
Huairou has Hongluo Mountain, Hongluo Lake, there is a thousand-year-old temple Hongluo Temple hidden between the mountains and waters, the first emperor even came to Hongluo Temple to drop incense, so although this ancient temple has gone through thousands of years, it is located in the place where the forest is lush and the ancient trees are towering to the sky, but the incense is still prosperous.
At the foot of Hongluo Mountain, there are also towns and villages, and gradually there are high-ranking officials and nobles who build manors as recreational residences near this left, such as a certain one on the side of Hongluo Lake, which is such a manor, but the manor has changed hands several times, if you do not track the official office files, the people around you can not tell who the owner of this manor is.
The manor, if any, had been idle for many years, and had only recently been inhabited, but it seemed that all the people who came in and out were servants, and no one had ever seen the face of the master.
In the evening, Gu Jicang was allowed to walk in the manor, but only in the small courtyard where he was imprisoned, and the walls of the courtyard were so high and boring that he could not judge where he was now, only that he had probably arrived in Gyeonggi, as if he was close to a Buddhist temple somewhere, because he heard the ringing of the Zen bell every day.
His heart was extremely anxious.
The daughter should still be alive, it seems that the current identity is not ordinary, otherwise these people would not have forced him to write that letter, Gu Jicang did not think about committing suicide, but he had a very big secret hidden in his heart, if he did not try to expose it, it would be really difficult to calm down, and even if he died, he was afraid that the other party would have other tricks
Li Chungui, these made it difficult for him to make up his mind for a while, but looking at it, the letter sent could really make Chungui vigilant, so that he would not risk his life, but he could think of a way to rescue him from this manor.
The secret hidden in his heart may involve the society and the country, and the rise and fall of the world, although he is incompetent, he should also try his best to calm down the troubles.
Two days, two more days.
Gu Jicang couldn't help but think of his wife and daughter who he hadn't seen for many years, the memory had never overshadowed their faces, and he didn't know how much trouble he had been forced to find when he suddenly disappeared, and how many hardships and persecution his wife and daughter had received, they should be okay, they must be well.
He thought that her wife's temperament was originally not important to financial gain, and without him as a pillar in the family, the patriarch would definitely force his wife to have a step-heir and devour his family property, but money was originally something outside the body, and if his wife could let it go, she might be able to keep the mother and daughter safe.
His Chunya, the child has already reached the end of the day, and now he is in the capital, he should be married outside, or marry into the high gate, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the child grew up safely, and finally had a home, I don't know if Chunya has children, is he already a grandfather? I don't know if he and his wife and daughter are lucky to see each other again.
In any case, Chungui must be able to read the code words in his letter, and know that the covenant of Gushui is a trap, and Chungui is a woman's family, I am afraid that it is not easy to even go out, and he should not be involved in danger again, so the worst result is nothing more than that he wasted a scheming in vain, and returned to China after all difficulties and tried every means to return to China, in the end, it was inevitable to die.
But what if, what if he still has a chance to live?
Thinking of the day he was reunited with his daughter, thinking that maybe there would be more childish children who called his grandfather crisply, Gu Jicang felt that his heartbeat was fast and fast, he was really, he missed his wife and daughter too much, he was on an overseas island all these years, but he only had his homeland and relatives in his dreams, but with this longing, he survived several years of cold and summer, and no longer saw his wife and daughter, he was really hard to look at.
He had almost forgotten the face of his enemy, but he still clearly remembered his daughter's smiling face, squatting beside him, watching him carve a lamb out of camphor wood with his own hands, and before he could quench the lacquer, he held the appearance of love.
The father and daughter also made an appointment to toast together, but he missed his daughter and the ceremony, and he was not able to drink with his daughter.
His little lamb, now he has really grown into a big girl, I am afraid that he has suffered a lot of grievances over the years without his protection, but I believe that his little lamb is still that optimistic and open-minded child, it must be so.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go into the house, don't wander around here, you're full, you're still hungry."
The rude guard shoved him on the shoulder.
Gu Jicang knew that he had to go into the "cage".
He heard the sound of the door locking, and didn't try to push the window, he knew it couldn't be opened.
The room was still so dim, and Gu Jicang let out a long sigh.
With nothing to do, he could only lie on the bed and stare at the top of the tent in a daze, until the night soaked the window paper, and until his vision adapted to the dimness, and he could see the faint outline of the tables and chairs by that hazy moonlight.
He didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.
In the silence, his ears were sensitive, and he could hear the shouts of the guards in the distance.
It was as if all of a sudden I heard something unusual.
Gu Jicang sat up with a carp!
