Chapter Two Hundred and Eight: Throwing the Bait
An Wanghai rushed back to the Eight Kings Courtyard, and Tang Anshu was about to go to Le Zhengxian with Qiu Gubo, just after walking a few steps, Tang Anshu suddenly stopped and said, "Qiu Yutan, you don't have to go." ”
Qiu Gubo was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "Now we both have a common weakness. ”
Qiu Gubo asked, "What weakness?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "Miss Shen and Yexin, when Hu Shen is in a hurry, he can do anything, in fact, Qiu Mansion is the most unsafe now, think about it, he can transfer people from outside the city to kill Chen Yuanbei, maybe he will use the same way to deal with Miss Shen and Yexin." ”
Qiu Gubo felt that it did make sense: "yes, we almost ignored this. ”
Tang Anshu said again: "Qiu Mansion is very unsafe, there is a way, let Miss Shen and Ye Xin move to the Governor's Mansion to live, you go back tonight, and early tomorrow morning, we will visit Fu Guodong." ”
Qiu Gubo disagreed: "You can go anywhere, I definitely don't agree to go to Fu Guodong, he is a wallgrass, Mr. Cai didn't have to die, just because he nodded, can you guarantee that he won't betray us at a critical time next time?" ”
Tang Anshu explained: "You misunderstood, I sent Miss Shen and Yexin to the front of the trench, and I will go tomorrow just to negotiate a deal with the trench." ”
Qiu Gu Bo wondered: "Buying and selling? ”
Tang Anshu said: "Yes, buy and sell, okay, you go back first." ”
Qiu Gubo rushed back to Qiu Mansion with doubts, while Tang Anshu walked alone on the streets, thinking about all the things and the steps below.
He and An Wanghai have a very tacit understanding, and they both know what the other party is going to do, but he is worried that the situation will get out of control, after all, An Wanghai is really a madman, and if he wants to go crazy, he will really do whatever it takes.
If Li Songming's matter was handled by Tang Anshu, he would never use the trick of burning the textile factory, after all, this kind of incident implicated many people in advance, a fire not only burned down the textile factory, but also caused many people to die and be injured, these are innocent people, and they are all ordinary people.
An Wanghai must know it, but he deliberately let himself not think about these things, now he just wants revenge, in order to avenge Cai Qianqing's best friend, he will do everything.
An Wanghai has no friends, and the only real friends in this life are Cai Qianqing and Tang Anshu, so the person who hurts his friend, he will chase him to the ends of the earth and torture him to death in the most cruel way.
After all, for An Wanghai, who is so disappointed in human nature, how difficult it is to have two friends who can be completely trusted.
However, hatred can make people lose their minds.
Tang Anshu is most worried about this, now An Wanghai is a sharp blade, he needs to find the scabbard and put this sharp blade in it.
But where can you find such a suitable scabbard?
When he arrived at Le Zhengxian, Tang Anshu informed Le Zhengxian that his previous plan had been cancelled, and also told him that the content of the telegram had been leaked, but the bait had to continue.
After listening to the bait plan, Le Zhengxian asked, "This Gongsun Zhu is a corpse painter?" Where did you know about this man? What happened again? You've got to tell me that, right? ”
Tang Anshu said: "Zhengxian, there are some things that I don't want to hide from you, I have difficulties, things are developing step by step, I will definitely tell you slowly." ”
Le Zhengxian didn't understand: "Why? The reason? ”
Tang Anshu said: "It's about trust, but it's not that I don't trust you." ”
Le Zhengxian asked, "Who is that?" ”
Tang Anshu shook his head: "I can't say, I'm sorry, please believe me, just believe me." ”
Le Zhengxian hesitated and said, "Yes, I can do what you say, but you have to tell me about the corpse painter, right?" ”
Tang Anshu thought about it, if he told Le Zhengxian the details, it would inevitably involve An Wanghai, so he couldn't say it.
Tang Anshu shook his head and said, "I'll tell you later, believe me." ”
Le Zhengxian took a deep breath: "Okay, anyway, I'm here for revenge, as long as I am allowed to take revenge, I can ignore other things." ”
Tang Anshu said: "Zhengxian, thank you." ”
Le Zhengxian smiled reluctantly: "You're polite, your own people." ”
After Tang Anshu left, Le Zhengxian felt blocked in his heart, Tang Anshu's actions obviously made him feel that he was excluded from the plan, just because he knew such a thing as gluttonous books, and he knew how to unravel the chaser who was forced to let him join, which made him uneasy.
No one wants to be doubted, no one wants not to be trusted.
Suddenly, Le Zhengxian flashed a thought, since he wants to kill Hu Shen, why don't you start with his right-hand man?
Kill Zhang Dingfeng first, it's not a difficult thing for you, right?
●
Early the next morning, Le Zhengxian went to the telegraph office, and after entering, he carefully observed everyone inside, because it was early in the morning, there were very few people in the telegraph office, except for a few people on duty, there were only three people waiting to send the telegram.
All three of them seem to be ordinary people, and there is nothing suspicious about them.
Le Zhengxian took the telegram sent to him by Xing Boqiu, and Xing Boqiu really asked him, what kind of gluttonous book is it? And taught him how to discern. Le Zhengxian immediately called back, and the content of the message was written as Tang Anshu said, and then turned around and left.
Although Le Zhengxian left, he had arranged in advance for Yan Zhenguo and Xue Baichuan to guard the back door and roof of the telegraph office respectively, while he was staring at the main gate in the dark.
If Zhang Dingfeng was going to appear, he could only enter and exit from these three places.
Not long after, Le Zhengxian saw Xue Baichuan on the roof nodding at him and pointing down, meaning the back door.
Le Zhengxian immediately galloped to the back door of the telegraph office and made peace with Yan Zhenguo.
Yan Zhenguo saw that Le Zhengxian was coming, and immediately said, "Just left, I entered the back alley." ”
Le Zhengxian said: "Similar to the appearance I described? ”
Yan Zhenguo said: "Yes, almost." ”
Le Zhengxian pulled out his gun: "Okay, you guys go back first." ”
Yan Zhenguo wanted to stop Le Zhengxian, but was pushed away by Le Zhengxian, and chased Zhang Dingfeng with a gun.
I don't know why, the vengeful blood in his body controls him, even if he can't kill Hu Shen now, he has to kill the helpers around Hu Shen.
Finally, he caught up with Zhang Dingfeng in front of him, and Zhang Dingfeng had just left the alley and walked to the street to call a rickshaw.
Just as Le Zhengxian was about to shoot, he suddenly put down the gun again and hid to the side.
If I kill Zhang Dingfeng, how will he bring back the contents of the telegram? Doesn't this mean letting Hu Shen know that Tang Anshu and others already know that the other party stole the contents of the telegram?
Le Zhengxian almost slapped himself in the mouth, and the revenge made him really lose his mind, although he could kill Zhang Dingfeng, it would be tantamount to ruining Tang Anshu's entire plan.
Le Zhengxian squatted down, looking at his trembling hands, he had to calm down, but what kept flashing in front of his eyes were the tombstones of dozens of people in the Qu family.
Why is revenge so hard?
●
"Gongsun Zhu, the corpse painter, the yin and yang diagram ......" Hu Shen repeated these words, pacing in the courtyard of Zhangfu.
Zhang Dingfeng said on the side: "Uncle Shi, what does this mean?" ”
Hu Shen shook his head: "Something is wrong, do you think, Xing Boqiu called back to ask him what kind of gluttonous book he was, and also told him how to identify it, but he immediately called back these contents, which have nothing to do with the gluttonous book at all?" ”
Zhang Dingfeng said: "When I came to Yongcheng, I investigated the different ways of this generation, except for the dark ear, there is only this Gongsun Zhu left, he is actually not a recluse, many people know him." ”
Hu Shen nodded slowly: "Gongsun Zhu and his master are both very famous corpse painters, their techniques are very subtle, they can hide many things in the painting, and the best thing is to use yin and yang diagrams." ”
Zhang Dingfeng asked: "Uncle Shi, what is the yin and yang diagram?" ”
Hu Shen explained: "The two pictures of one yin and one yang must be combined to discover the secrets, but even if you find two pictures, you must first uncover the secrets in the pictures, this step is very difficult, without the guidance of the corpse painter, it is more difficult to find than to ascend to the sky." ”
Zhang Dingfeng said: "Uncle Shi, what do you mean, maybe this gluttonous book has something to do with the Yin and Yang Diagram?" ”
Hu Shen said: "Maybe, so, I need to go in person." ”
Zhang Dingfeng hurriedly stopped: "Uncle Shi, this may be a trap?" I'll go. ”
Hu Shen shook his head: "A person like Gongsun Zhu, the seniority of the rivers and lakes is always there, if you go, he may pretend that he doesn't know what to do, I need to go in person." ”
Zhang Dingfeng said: "Uncle Shi, I always think that Tang Anshu has noticed that we have found out?" Maybe it's a trap. ”
Hu Shen smiled: "But what if this is an opportunity? In this way, in order to ensure completeness, you go to tell Chen Bozhong and ask him to send a company of soldiers to the village where Gongsun Zhu lives in seclusion, don't harass the local people, just be stationed there, so that even if someone wants to attack me, it will not be so easy. ”
Zhang Dingfeng still insisted: "Uncle Shi, why don't you write a post, and I will take the post to see Gongsun Zhu?" ”
Hu Shen smiled and said: "Dingfeng, don't worry, it'll be fine, your uncle has accepted it, and as soon as Chen Bozhong's people arrive, I will go out of the city." ”
When Zhang Dingfeng saw Hu Shen say this, he had to say: "Senior uncle, then I will wait for you in the village with Chen Bozhong's people, and let Senior Brother Rong accompany you out of the city." ”
Hu Shen shook his head: "Rong Pingye has a false reputation, there is more than enough success and failure, I thought Fu Guodong would kill him, who knew that Fu Guodong also had a bodhisattva heart, let him go, there is no Rong Pingye in my plan." ”
Zhang Dingfeng understood: "Since this is the case, then I'll let him disappear." ”
Hu Shen said: "No, it's a pity to let him disappear in vain, I have to let him disappear worthwhile, let me think about it again." ”
Zhang Dingfeng had to say: "Yes." ”
●
In the inn, the idea of revenge still lingered in Le Zhengxian's mind, and it was getting more and more inflated, and he always felt like his head was going to explode.
He regretted that he didn't kill Zhang Dingfeng with one shot, and even regretted why he didn't attack Hu Shen in the first place? He cursed his stupidity, cursing incessantly.
Le Zhengxian, who was slightly drunk, thought of the content of the telegram, Gongsun Zhu, the corpse painter......
Le Zhengxian let go of the wine bottle he was holding tightly and looked out the window, after all, he was born in the underworld, he knew all the heretics in the Yongcheng area, and of course he also knew Gongsun Zhu's so-called hermitage.
If Hu Shen knew about the existence of Gongsun Zhu and bit this bait, then he would definitely go to find Gongsun Zhu, right? Even if he doesn't go personally, he will send someone he trusts.
Le Zhengxian was sure that this was an opportunity, and this opportunity would definitely not delay Tang Anshu's plan.
But he forgot that it was bait, and it was not him who was fishing this time, but he was going to take the rod.
Le Zhengxian called Yan Zhenguo and Xue Baichuan: "I want to go out of the city." ”
Yan Zhenguo asked, "Brother Xian, what are you doing out of the city?" ”
Le Zhengxian pretended to be relaxed: "I'll go to find out the news of Chen Bozhong's Fenghua New Army, you are waiting for me here, and you don't want to go there before I come back." ”
Xue Baichuan immediately said: "Let's go with you, we are good at investigating this kind of thing." ”
Le Zhengxian said: "If there are few people, the goal is small, I will be back in two days at most, don't worry." ”
After speaking, Le Zhengxian showed a relaxed smile, simply cleaned up, took water and dry food, and left the inn directly.
But Yan Zhenguo and Xue Baichuan were worried that something would happen to him, and after discussion, they decided to follow Le Zhengxian, after all, the order they got from Sun San was to assist Le Zhengxian.
Le Zhengxian didn't know that at the same time as he set off, Zhang Dingfeng had already arrived at Chen Bozhong's headquarters stationed outside the city.
