Chapter 145: Flattery
Xiaolian made up her mind and solemnly said to Yin Jiuyue: "County Lord, Xiaolian just wants to be able to protect herself. ”
"But Xiaolian understands that in this situation, it is too difficult for Xiaolian to be alone."
"County Lord, please believe in Xiaolian, Xiaolian is willing to help the county lord."
Yin Jiuyue looked at Xiaolian and said, "Xiaolian, don't worry, if I don't want to believe you, I won't be honest with you." ”
Xiaolian said: "County Lord, did you go to the palace today to find the emperor and say that you were going to give Xiao Yu a surplus, is it really just to make the emperor unhappy?" ”
When Yin Jiuyue heard this, she showed a smile and said, "Xiaolian, since you are asked to join my side, I naturally have enough chips to let you understand that standing on my side has a better chance of winning than standing on Yin Huan's side." ”
"I asked the emperor to go up to Xiao Yu to do it, naturally I have my plan, and I will tell you about this matter at that time."
Xiaolian was at ease, and asked Yin Jiuyue again, "County Lord, do you need to tell others about my true identity?" Like bamboo branches? ”
Yin Jiuyue shook her head and said, "Your true identity only needs to be known by you and me, even if it is a bamboo branch." ”
"Zhuzhi is simple and upright, and it is safest for her to know nothing."
Xiaolian nodded, noncommittal.
At this moment, there were a few noises from the windowsill, as if something was tapping on the windowsill.
Xiaolian looked at the windowsill suspiciously, not knowing what it was.
Yin Jiuyue smiled when she heard this, and said to Xiaolian: "Xiaolian, I'll show you something good." ”
"After reading it, you will understand that we are not passive, and the odds of victory on our side are not small."
Xiaolian watched in surprise as Yin Jiuyue walked to the windowsill and opened the window, where a black bird was standing on the windowsill outside.
The black bird spread its wings and flew into the house, Xiaolian saw clearly, this black bird was too big compared to other birds, and then saw the bird's sharp eyes, Xiaolian said in her heart that this turned out to be an eagle.
Xiaolian asked Yin Jiuyue in surprise: "County Lord, is this an eagle?" ”
Yin Jiuyue let the black bone stand on his arm, showed the black bone in front of Xiaolian, and said, "Yes, it's an eagle, and it's the eagle who sent a secret letter to Yin Huan." ”
"Yin Huan sent secret agents to monitor the situation of the Yin family's army, and the communication between the secret agents and Yin Huan relied on this eagle."
Xiaolian was even more surprised now, when she was Concubine Lian, she didn't know that Yin Huan still had this eagle, and this eagle had now fallen into the hands of Yin Jiuyue, and she was obediently doing things for Yin Jiuyue.
Xiaolian thought about it, she was just a concubine at the beginning, so naturally she couldn't get in touch with the secrets around Yin Huan, even if Yin Huan let herself be an undercover agent now, she didn't know about secrets like the Hellfire Palace, she was just Yin Huan's pawn, Yin Huan had never trusted herself, she just thought that threatening her life could make her obedient to do things for him.
Thinking of this, Xiaolian admired Yin Jiuyue even more in her heart, this Showa County Lord was more intelligent and powerful than she imagined.
Xiaolian sincerely admired: "The county lord is really powerful, Xiaolian didn't choose the wrong person." ”
"Since this eagle was originally sent a message between the emperor and the secret agents who monitored the Yin family's army, that is to say...... Yin Jiajun is now ......"
Yin Jiuyue looked at Xiaolian approvingly, knowing that she had understood.
"That's right, the Yin family army is now under the leadership of Yin Mingtai, hiding outside to recuperate."
"When the Hellfire Temple arrives, it will be the time for the struggle to begin, to take the capital in one fell swoop, and to completely solve the threat of Yin Huan."
Xiaolian's eyes gradually widened, and the hope in her heart became bigger and bigger, as long as Yin Huan could be solved, she would be able to live with peace of mind in the future.
Xiaolian said sincerely: "Thank you for trusting Xiaolian and telling Xiaolian this." ”
"If the county lord needs to use Xiaolian, Xiaolian will definitely do her best."
At this time, Shen Muzhi, who was going to Chang'an, had also arrived in Chang'an.
When Shen Muyi arrived in Chang'an, he went to find the prefect of Chang'an, and after showing the prefect of Chang'an the emperor's edict, the prefect of Chang'an respectfully took Shen Muzhi to the Lu Mansion of the Lu clan who was destroyed.
The Lu clan is also a famous family in Chang'an, and the prefect naturally has to make every effort to investigate such a major event as the destruction of the whole house, even if everyone understands in their hearts that the people of the Lu clan were destroyed by the Hellfire Palace, but who can find this Hellfire Palace? But even so, the Chang'an prefect must follow the rules and honestly investigate the case.
The case of the extermination of the Lu family, after so many days, naturally became an unsolved case that the prefect could not solve, but the case could not be closed for a long time, the prefect of Chang'an was originally having a headache for this matter, and the arrival of Shen Muzhi could be said to make the prefect of Chang'an overjoyed.
The prefect of Chang'an diligently took Shen Muzhi to the door of the Lu Mansion and said: "Lord Shen, this case is hanging, I didn't expect the emperor to send our champion of the Great Zhou to thoroughly investigate this case, Lord Shen, you are here, but you have done a small favor." ”
In front of the emperor's celebrities, even the dignified prefect of Chang'an has to call himself small.
Shen Muzhi glanced at the vermilion lacquer gate of the Lu Mansion in front of him, and asked lightly: "Lord Prefect, after so many days, do you have complete protection at the scene of this crime?" ”
The prefect of Chang'an nodded again and again, and said, "With such a big case, how dare I close it casually." At the scene of this crime, except for the corpses, all the others, the small ones, were ordered to their subordinates, and they could not move at all. ”
Hearing this, Shen Muzhi nodded lightly.
Shen Mu stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the vermilion lacquer gate of the Lu Mansion. The prefect of Chang'an hurriedly trotted up and followed behind Shen Muzhi.
Shen Muzhi felt that he had a strange touch on his hand touching the vermilion lacquer gate, and withdrew his hand to take a look, only to see that his hand was stained with some reddish-brown dirt.
It turned out that the vermilion lacquer gate was also splashed with blood, but under the background of the vermilion lacquer gate, these blood stains could not be seen.
The prefect of Chang'an saw that Shen Muzhi's hands were stained with blood, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hand over the handkerchief, and the prefect of Chang'an personally handed the handkerchief to Shen Muzhi and said: "Lord Shen, I complained that I didn't remind him in advance, and there were blood stains on this door, which soiled Lord Shen's hands." ”
Shen Muzhi took the handkerchief handed over by the prefect of Chang'an, and while wiping his hands, he carefully looked at the vermilion lacquer gate.
Shen Muzhi asked, "Lord Prefect, is there a lot of blood on this vermilion lacquer gate?" ”
The prefect of Chang'an was stopped by Shen Muzhi, and said hesitantly: "This ...... The little one really doesn't know, after all, I can't see how much blood there is on this vermilion lacquer gate. ”
After speaking, the prefect of Chang'an looked at Shen Muzhi's face cautiously, for fear that he had snubbed this champion by saying the wrong thing just now, and made Shen Muzhi dissatisfied with him.
Shen Muzhi didn't react to the words of the prefect of Chang'an, but just wiped his hands lightly.
The prefect of Chang'an saw that Shen Muzhi had finished wiping his hands, and hurriedly took the handkerchief that Shen Muzhi had finished wiping his hands.
Shen Muzhi felt the excessive diligence of the Chang'an Prefect, and couldn't help but smile helplessly, and said, "The prefect doesn't have to be so restrained. ”
"In terms of official positions, the prefect is not under me, so there is no need to compliment Mu Zhi like this."
When the prefect of Chang'an heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Shen Muzhi to take the initiative to tell himself not to be overly complimented, shouldn't the celebrities around the emperor enjoy this kind of compliment?
The prefect of Chang'an had to smile awkwardly and said: "If Lord Shen is this, Lord Shen has come from afar, and I, as the prefect, naturally have to do my best to be a landlord." ”
"In the future, Lord Shen will return to the capital, and in front of the emperor, I can give a few good words to Xiao."
Shen Muzhi sighed and said: "Lord Prefect, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, although Shen is now beautiful, no one can say what will happen in the future." ”
"The prefect is at the same level as Mu Zhi, and Mu Zhiwan doesn't dare to be arrogant."
Shen Muzhi said, in less than thirty years, soon, he should be ruined with Yin Huan.
When the prefect of Chang'an heard this, he admired Shen Muzhi in his heart, he was in a high position, but he could not be arrogant, no wonder he could be favored.
Now that Shen Muzhi's words have been said to this point, the prefect of Chang'an had no choice but to put away his flattery and said:
