Chapter 852: Pursuing Wei Zhongxian
“…… Previously, because of the case of Yang Yuxuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, it was finally found out that it was Wei Zhongxian's fault, and His Majesty was furious. If it weren't for his old age, His Majesty would have killed people and raided his house a long time ago. Even so, Wei Zhongxian was stripped of all his positions and exiled to Jiangdu. Zhou Miaotong told all the situations one by one, so that the clues in Qin Yun's mind were connected, and he suddenly realized.
It seems that this Wei Zhongxian is a substitute for the dead ghost of the East Factory, otherwise he would not be able to calm down the turmoil so quickly. Even if the emperor knew it in his heart, but if he exchanged the secretary of the military department for a eunuch who was close at hand, the eunuch Bingbi, and the second assistant of the inner court, this deal was still profitable. What's more, the military department Shangshu is not a figure in the emperor's entrainment, and there is nothing to feel sorry for if he loses, maybe he is still secretly refreshed in his heart.
And the task of pursuing Wei Zhongxian was handed over to him, which was also a temptation. As Zhou Miaotong said, Qin Yun's entry into Beijing this time was completely the handiwork of His Majesty, just to make Qin Yun a lonely minister who was only loyal to him. As for why the emperor of the dynasty looked up to him so much, and even fished people directly from the six doors, Qin Yun was still confused.
"Master, you ......" Zhou Miaotong was a little speechless and stopped.
Qin Yun glanced at Zhou Miaotong, and suddenly said with a smile: "It's a good thing to be favored by the emperor!" ”
"But since ancient times, there has been no good end for lonely ministers." Zhou Miaotong had the heart to persuade that her own family was ruined and her death made her not trust anyone in a higher position.
"Hehe, it also depends." Qin Yun chuckled. "Although it is a lonely minister, it is not a simple thing to become a lonely minister. In addition, I am old now, and I have not practiced martial arts, so I guess I can't wait for me to grow up, and I think it is a pawn for the next king. ”
Qin Yun didn't say a word: he was never a person who loved power, and power was just a supplement for his cultivation. As long as your own cultivation is enough, there is no place in the world to go!
Qin Yun was promoted to lieutenant division, and naturally there were a lot of people under him, coupled with Li Qing's long-sleeved dancing and Guo Ju's non-interference, Qin Yun really attracted some masters and elite people who were depressed for various reasons in the six doors. Although it is not as powerful as in Jinyang County, it will not be a situation of three or two big cats and small cats under his command, which is enough to be useful.
That night, Qin Yun led a group of men and horses under his command to quietly leave the capital from the West City Gate. Although Qin Yun also knew that he couldn't hide the news of his departure from Beijing for a long time, he could hide it for a while, maybe it would be a little bit longer.
However, what Qin Yun didn't know was that on the night he left, there were also people leaving the south and north gates of the capital. As for the purpose of going out of the city, looking at their direction, it is estimated that they and Qin Yun's goals are very likely to be the same.
Qin Yun and the others traveled non-stop for three days in a row, and only then did they come to a small town on this day. Although it is a small town, it is near the capital after all, and it is also prosperous and unusual, and the people are buzzing.
As the so-called sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. There is a bluestone road in the town that has been around for quite a while, which defeats 99% of the towns in the Great Xia Dynasty. The old bluestone pavement is lined with shops, and it seems that there is nothing that cannot be bought here, as well as the bargaining lady, the girls who scratch their heads, and the vendors who run their own small stalls, and there is a prosperous scene.
Because the town is close to the capital, it is a good place to rest, so the flow of people is dense, and most of the guests come and go, but there are also many locals. Some of them are plain and dirty, and some of them are dressed in brocade clothes, and it seems that there are a lot of rich families in this town!
Qin Yun found a clean inn and let everyone rest immediately, while he himself cheered up in the room and listened to the information from the people below.
"So, Wei Zhongxian is in the town?" Qin Yun unconsciously tapped the table with his left hand, and muttered in his mouth.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Yun asked his subordinates to enter the town in groups of three or five or alone, divided into more than a dozen teams before entering the town. He himself dressed as a businessman, led a team of less than ten people, and avoided the inn where Wei Zhongxian and the others lived.
"You mean, before us, in addition to Wei Zhongxian and his party, there was another group of people who entered the town and attracted the attention of Wei Zhongxian and the others." Qin Yun frowned, secretly screaming in his heart.
Sure enough, in this world, all plots are unreliable. What should have come did not come, but what should not have come came!
"Who are they?" Qin Yun asked.
The person below raised his head, and it was Yun Ying, who had disappeared for a long time, and he said indifferently and calmly: "The person who came did a cover, and did not directly reveal his identity. But I can see that they should be from Dongchang. I believe that Wei Zhongxian, who is more familiar with the smell of Dongchang than us, should know about this earlier. ”
Now Yun Ying, the smell of killing on his body gradually disappeared, but the hidden feeling was even more powerful. Even Qin Yun, if he didn't deliberately check it, he wouldn't be able to find Yun Ying's traces, and even Yun Ying's cultivation would be difficult for Qin Yun to detect.
"This kid is starting to be a little mysterious!" Qin Yun muttered in his heart.
Regarding Yun Ying's changes, Qin Yun didn't ask the bottom line, he believed in Yun Ying, and that was enough. Besides, Yun Ying is already an adult, not a child, so he can't report anything to him.
In addition, Jin Yiwei and his party also approached the town, and it is estimated that they will arrive at night. The leader was led by Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, the general banner, and Jin Yichuan, the small banner, and there were more than 50 people under his command, without the slightest cover-up. Yun Ying said again.
Qin Yun thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Does Zhao Jingzhong know about this person?" ”
"Zhao Jingzhong, who is in charge of 1,000 households in Dongchang, ranks first among the three thousand households, and is also a powerful character in Dongchang. At the same time, he is also the righteous son of Wei Zhongxian, who is ruthless and scheming, and has great ambitions for power. This time Wei Zhongxian fell, it is said that he paid a great price, and Cao Zhengchun appreciated him a lot, so he was not implicated, and he still maintained the official position of punishing thousands of households. Because of this, I suspect that these Dongchang men and horses are likely to have come on Zhao Jingzhong's orders, in order to do it once and for all. "The cloud should be carefully analyzed.
Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction, Yun Ying grew up fast, far beyond his imagination. Not only martial arts, but also wisdom, actions and manners, all of which made Qin Yun feel very pleased.
"Yes, these people from Dongchang were sent by Zhao Jingzhong." Qin Yun said categorically.
