Chapter 19: Establishment of the Bureau (5)
Cheng Chen returned to the room and fell on the bed again, he was more tired today, physical exertion was not the most important thing, what made Cheng Chen exhausted was the disguise, if the disguise was a little inadequate, with Li Chong's shrewdness, it would make him suspicious or feel strange and difficult to set.
Pretending to be cute, pretending to be angry, pretending to be unwilling and welcome, pretending to learn to ride a horse and letting the guy touch his little hands a few times. Fortunately, Li Zhong has already been trapped, and he is completely defenseless against Cheng Chen.
It's been worth the hard work these days...
"Miss, it's time to eat." Xizhu hung his head and was distracted, and he was listless when he spoke.
Xizhu pushed open the door and walked in with Xiaoqing with food.
"Miss, why are you overtired these days? Come back and sleep. You don't take me and Xiaoqing with you anywhere. Xizhu pursed his lips and complained.
"Miss, are you... Like General Lai. Xiaoqing asked a little shyly.
"Well, it's kind of." Cheng Chen must first convince himself.
Xiaoqing said a little anxiously; "But General Li doesn't have a good reputation among the people, and he has a reputation for being able to 'stop children crying at night'."
"You're saying he has a reputation for brutality and murder?" Cheng Chen understood that what Xiaoqing said was already implicit.
Xiaoqing nodded her little head.
"Isn't it? I think he's very gentle and kind! Although it looks ordinary, it is very good for the young lady. Xizhu didn't believe it.
"Yes, he's mild-mannered, and the rumors can't be trusted! After the trial, the young lady prepared hot water. The young lady wants to wash and sleep. "The rumors are not credible and have been verified with our own eyes.
Xizhu remembered that today was the day to go to the West Pavilion, and reminded him: "Isn't Miss going to the West Pavilion tonight?" ”
Cheng Chen looked a little depressed, and said, "Don't go, I've already told Sister Mei that I'm sick and want to rest." ”
After the two maids went out, Cheng Chen glanced out the window.
"Come in!"
After Li Hong came in, he closed the door with his backhand.
"Miss, the master wants to see you!"
"Wait until I'm done bathing, or the two maids will stay in my room after I'm gone." Cheng Chen didn't want his secret to be discovered by the two little maids.
"The subordinate went in first. Subordinates retire! ”
After Cheng Chen finished washing, he followed the bright secret passage to the basement.
In the secret room, I saw the still indifferent masked man sitting on the stone bed and looking through the thick book. He didn't notice Cheng Chen's arrival, and he didn't raise his head.
"Subordinates see masters!" The situation is stronger than people, and Cheng Chen knelt on one knee when he met.
"Get up! How's it going? ”
Cheng Chen stood up and bowed his head respectfully, "Master, Li Zhong has already let down his guard against his subordinates. ”
"Yes, quite capable! Or the beauty trick is useful! Wearing a mask and hearing this, he looked up at Cheng Chen and said something specious.
'Will you try a different beauty?' Cheng Chen couldn't help but slander in his heart.
The masked man seemed to see Cheng Chen's dissatisfaction.
"I know that you are reluctant to use beauty tricks, but it is difficult to find a more perfect woman than you for a while. The average beauty Li Zhong can't look down on it. Those who can work hard, if this thing is successful, you will make a great contribution! The masked man said with good words, now that the matter is about to happen, he can't be allowed to have other intentions.
"Here are the details you requested. Take it and see how to do it as soon as possible. ”
"Thank you, master!"
Cheng Chen stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take it, then sat down in front of the stone table and opened it to watch carefully.
The results of the investigation have only been a few days, and the investigation is already so detailed.
The book lists all the political enemies of Li Chong, the details of the daughters of the back house who are enemies, and even the scandal of the concubine climbing the wall.
Cheng Chen looked at it page by page extremely seriously, and after reading it for a long time, it had been almost an hour and a half after reading it all, and Cheng Chen had already locked on a goal.
In the imperial history, Cheng Chen Fang impeached Li Chong three times, and the charges were different, but because of insufficient evidence, it was ineffective.
In the imperial history, Cheng Chen put only one wife and one concubine in the family, the only daughter Chen Jin, the age of 28 is out of the main room, in recent years, every month on the fifteenth to the Ximing Mountain Taoist Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, the time is not returned from time to time!!
"My subordinates have a plan in mind! I need to send someone to secretly investigate everything within a radius of ten miles from that Taoist temple, and I still need a few people, and it is difficult for me to do anything alone. Cheng Chen stood up and put the notebook back in its place.
The masked man just said "um" softly, then opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Chen, and said, "I will order someone to do it, Lihong will listen to your deployment, and Lihong can also deploy some people under his hands." It's just you... Don't let me down! ”
"My subordinates will do their best!" Cheng Chen asked the lion to ask for more help in advance, and it depends on the situation whether to use it or not. More preparation is the way to go.
The next night, Cheng Chen received a topographic map of the Taoist temple and the number of female Taoist priests from Lihong, some introductions of the main principals of the Taoist temple, and the distribution of various places within a radius of ten miles.
After reading it, Cheng Chen already had a more complete plan in his heart.
Everything is already in place............
The next thing is to continue to stabilize Li Chong, Li Chong is also diligent, and he meets with Cheng Chen every day, but occasionally he can pull a small hand to talk about love, and he can be satisfied.
"Hiss---"
At the side door of the Zhongcheng Mansion in the Imperial History of Chongming Fang, a prepared carriage stopped at the door, and the horse seemed to have waited too long and was impatient, and his right front hoof kicked the ground vigorously.
"Madame, Miss, go slowly!"
A neat farewell voice came, and a group of female dependents walked out of the side door of the Imperial Palace, and in front of them were a young and beautiful woman and a middle-aged beauty.
Mrs. Chen only brought a maid and a mother-in-law. Several men got into the spacious carriage one after another, and the carriage gradually moved slowly, followed by six tall men dressed as guards, and got on their horses and followed the carriage.
"Brother, I want to drink water! There is a family in front, let's go over and ask for tea! Cheng Chen's lips were dry, and his body was sweating. Today, Cheng Chen and the two came to Ximing Mountain to play, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they hiked up the mountain.
Li Chong's martial arts are very high, and he is not afraid to take a woman to the barren mountains and mountains, maybe it would be better if something could happen.
"Sister Chen'er! Wait for the big brother to go over and take a look! ”
Cheng Chenxiang's sweaty appearance was very tempting, and Li Zhong swallowed unconsciously.
Li Zhong walked to the front hut, which was a four-room bungalow made of blue bricks and wood, surrounded by a fence into a small open-air courtyard, and there were many chickens in the yard, Li Zhong pushed open the small wooden courtyard door and walked in.
"Goo-goo!"
When I stepped into the courtyard, I saw an old woman, a three-year-old child playing with mud.
The old woman was trembling and feeding the chickens in a wooden basin, and her cloudy eyes did not notice that anyone had come in, but the child turned his head to look.
