Chapter 123: Sure enough, there is a mole
The street was deserted, and the sound of horse-drawn carriage wheels running over the bluestone pavement was so clear. The carriage of the pen www.biquge.info swayed slightly, and it always made people feel drowsy in this quiet night. But the people in the carriage were preoccupied, and she sat in the carriage, holding her forehead with her hands, and her eyes were full of worry.
She thought back and forth about two things...... A few years ago, her husband Shang Huicheng was seriously injured, and since then she has tried her best to treat him. If she hadn't given up, Shang Huicheng might have died a long time ago. After all, with that kind of injury, even if the world's famous doctors came, there was no way to find all the medicines needed.
The husband has been in a coma for several years, and the people from the military department have never taken the initiative to ask. And the people in the military department have always been very evasive about that incident, and no one wants to mention it. Today, Lord Shangshu asked, and said that the Queen Mother might have made some moves, why?
Zhuang Feifei thought about Chen Zaiyan's words, and always felt that Chen Zaiyan still had something to say.
It seems that I really want to send my husband out of the capital as soon as possible, but where can I send it?
Daxi?
Under the whole world, Daxi is a place where the people of Yan Kingdom dare not be presumptuous.
The second thing is about Anzheng.
To be honest, Zhuang Feifei didn't know what she thought of An Zheng. She knew that An Zheng was kind to her, but she had always repaid the kindness. It can even be said that she has repaid An Zheng a lot. But she is willing to treat An Zheng as a friend...... It can't be said to be a friend, but more like a ...... Brother?
The word brother popped up in her head, and her spirit shook.
What is he thinking about, how can An Zheng be his younger brother, it's just that the young man has a kind feeling.
But the more she tried to deny her thoughts, the more involuntarily that thought popped out. She originally had a younger brother, who was frail and sickly since childhood, and her family was poor at that time, although her father and mother tried their best, but in the end they could not save her brother. When she was a child, her younger brother was just like the An Zheng she saw for the first time in the Phantom City, thin, looking a little weak, but his stubborn temperament was distressing.
Constantly, the memories of her brother in her mind and the shadow of An Zheng kept overlapping, making her more and more confused.
With a creak, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the Apocalypse Sect.
"Mr. Big, it's here. ”
The driver was an old man, who looked to be at least in his fifties, but he was in good spirits. He wears a straw hat and shows gray hair with sideburns. His complexion is dark, as is the case with anyone who regularly basks in the sun. He has a goatee, and looks like a very kind old man.
"Thank you, Guiye, you can go back first. ”
Zhuang Feifei said a word, and then walked to the door.
The old man asked, "You really don't need me to stay?"
Zhuang Feifei shook his head: "The Heavenly Apocalypse Sect is our friend, An Zheng is my friend, I will be fine here." ”
The old man who was called Gui Ye nodded: "That's okay, I'll go back first, if you have something, you can send a signal, and I will rush over." ”
Zhuang Feifei said: "Go back and rest, Huicheng hasn't woken up for all these years, Jushang Courtyard relies on you and Zhang Lao inside and out, without you, I wouldn't have been able to hold on for a long time." ”
Gui Ye sighed: "We don't work hard, Mr. Big is really hard, it's not easy." ”
Zhuang Feifei bowed: "Thank you." ”
Gui Ye shook his head, got into the carriage and left. He did not go far, and when he turned the corner, he stopped under the big willow tree on the side of the street, and rested on the carriage with his eyes closed. It looked like he was asleep, but within a radius of a kilometer, as long as there was a little fluctuation in the power of cultivation, it couldn't hide from him.
Zhuang Feifei knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, the door creaked open, and Lao Huo poked his head out and looked out, a little surprised: "Mr. Big, why did you come so early." ”
At this time, it was not long before dawn, and the east was already slightly white.
Zhuang Feifei smiled: "There are some urgent matters to see your sect master, please report it." ”
Lao Huo opened the door: "Come in, it's heavy outside with dew." ”
He closed the door and led Zhuang Feifei to the courtyard. At this time, the men who got up early were already standing on the martial arts arena, and their faces were solemn, and they looked very depressed and sad. Zhuang Feifei thought it was interesting, she always felt that An Zheng was very unusual, even the people around An Zheng, every one of them was unusual.
She was still wearing a wide men's costume, so the men on the martial arts field didn't care. Further inside, a few guys wearing only shorts were taking a shower with cold water that had just come out of the well, and in the faint light of the torches, they looked extremely majestic. On the shelf next to it were some white clothes, which should have been bought overnight, and they would all change into them after a while. They are the ones who are going to carry the coffin, so they get up early to bathe and change their clothes.
When Lao Huo led Zhuang Feifei to An Zheng's door, the door was pushed open from the inside, and An Zheng walked out with a somewhat tired face: "Come in and sit, Huo Ye, please make some breakfast and send it over." ”
Lao Huo nodded: "I'll go now." ”
Zhuang Feifei entered the door, this was the first time she walked into An Zheng's room. When she entered, she took a closer look and found that the furnishings in the room were as simple as possible. There are no decorations at all, except for the necessary things.
Zhuang Feifei sat down and said with a smile: "This is not like a house of a treasure connoisseur, those who know about treasure connoisseurship, which family does not have a bunch of priceless treasures." The most valuable thing in your house is the chair with Huanghuali, which has been repaired. ”
An Zheng smiled bitterly: "You are still in the mood to joke." ”
Zhuang Feifei raised her good-looking eyebrows: "It's not that I got into trouble, and it's not that I killed someone, why am I not in the mood to joke." But your friend's business...... Don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, you want to open some. In any case, you have avenged him. ”
An argued: "Thank you." ”
Zhuang Feifei said: "Don't be so polite with me, where are the people?"
An Zheng pointed outside: "A spirit shed will be built in the courtyard in a while, and now the corpse is placed in the hall outside." ”
"Take me to burn some paper money, and when I go to the funeral, I'm afraid I won't have time to come. ”
Zhuang Feifei got up, An Zheng didn't stop her, and led her out of the room.
In the hall, Jin Sanling's body had been tidied up, washed, stitched up the wounds, and changed into new clothes. He lay there as if he were asleep.
In front of Jin Sanling's body was an offering table, on which was a row of human heads.
An Zheng found a brazier and handed Zhuang Feifei some paper money, Zhuang Feifei squatted down and lit the paper money in the brazier: "This brother, you go well, your revenge An Zheng has been avenged for you." It's good that you have a brother like him. I know that you must have a lot of worries in your heart when you leave, so come back often, and no one will be afraid of you. ”
An Zheng looked at Zhuang Feifei blankly, and he didn't expect Zhuang Feifei to say such a thing.
Zhuang Feifei solemnly burned all the paper money, then got up and bowed to the corpse: "An Zheng is also very happy to have a brother like you." I'm older than him, and I'll give you a ride as his sister. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Feifei regretted it.
An Zheng's face changed, and he was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
Zhuang Feifei turned around: "Let's go, there are still some important things to tell you." ”
The sky was already getting brighter, and when An Zheng and Zhuang Feifei left the hall, the white in the east was getting heavier and heavier.
"It's going to be early, I hope it's safe. ”
Zhuang Feifei said a word, her face solemn.
At the same time, Chen Zaiyan, the secretary of the military department, met An Chengli, the eunuch of Bingbi, in a secluded corner of the palace.
"Lord Chen, what's the matter with me looking for me so early?"
An Chengli knew that something big must have happened, Chen Zaiyan was a person who was not surprised at everything, and there must be something wrong with being in such a hurry to find him.
"Excuse me, no matter what, find a way to postpone the king for an hour. ”
"Why?"
"I'll explain it to you carefully, but this matter involves the life and death of everyone in the entire military department, please be sure to help. ”
Seeing that Chen Zaiyan was so solemn, An Chengli nodded: "I know, I will find a way." ”
Chen Zaiyan clenched his fists: "Thank you." ”
After finishing speaking, he hurried away.
Soon after, the important ministers who were waiting for King Yan to arrive in the court got the news, King Yan suddenly felt a little unwell, he had just taken medicine, and he would rest for a while and come to the court, and the early court was postponed by an hour.
Many people in the court looked at each other, as if they were all preoccupied.
After a full hour and a half, Yan Wang Mu Changyan walked into the main hall. As soon as he sat down, before he could speak, Su Mao, the prime minister of Zuo, who was standing at the head of the civil officials, stood up, he first glanced at Chen Zaiyan meaningfully, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.
However, before he could speak, Chen Zaiyan stepped out first: "The minister has this to play." ”
Su Mao was stunned: "Lord Chen, it's obviously my ......"
Before he finished his words, Yan Wang Mu Changyan waved his hand: "Chen Zaiyan, what's the matter with being in such a hurry?"
Chen Zaiyan held a fold in his hand and handed it over with both hands: "The minister wants to participate in Hao Ping'an, the former secretary of the military department, recruit private soldiers, operate illegal things, and collect money privately." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Su Mao, who was originally looking at Chen Zaiyan sneering, turned extremely ugly, as if he had eaten dog shit. He also held a book in his hand, which was a recital of all the people in the military department who formed a party and tried to rebel. But he was a step late, and Chen Zaiyan had already taken the lead.
On the general's side, almost everyone glared at Chen Zaiyan angrily. And most of the people on the civilian side didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at Chen Zaiyan like a play.
Chen Zaiyan said loudly: "Yesterday, when the minister thoroughly checked the old accounts of the Ministry of War, he found out. Hao Ping'an, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, recruited a group of people as private soldiers from all over Dayan, accepted employment, and the madness of collecting money was appalling. Although Hao Ping'an has passed away, this matter cannot be ignored as the secretary of the Ministry of War. ”
He said in a calm tone, probably meaning that he found that Hao Ping'an had gathered a group of Jianghu guests from all over the country and privately established a chamber of commerce, which was specially hired by other trading houses to serve as escorts for the caravans and provide bodyguards for some people. As an official of the imperial court, he actually did business, which was really against the royal law and lost the face of the imperial court.
Mu Changyan didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Chen Zaiyan in a daze. An Chengli reacted quickly, knowing that something must have happened to the Ministry of War, so he hurriedly reminded Mu Changyan in his ear: "I'm afraid that someone is going to make a fuss about the Ministry of War, and Lord Chen is the first to strike." Lao Shangshu has already left, and no matter what, he can only push it to Lao Shangshu, so that the rest of the military department can be saved. ”
Mu Changyan reacted at this time and asked a few perfunctory questions.
After Chen Zaiyan finished playing Hao Ping'an's words, he knelt down on his knees and said: "Although Lao Shangshu did something illegal, the minister had to intercede for Lao Shangshu. The reason why Lao Shangshu did this was for the sake of the court and the Yan Kingdom. The military department was short of money and food, and the soldiers on the frontier often went to war with the enemy hungry, and Lao Shangshu was anxious. In order to alleviate this pressure, he had to arrange for his subordinates to do business. According to the minister's investigation, none of the money Lao Shangshu put in his pocket, and all of them were sent to the frontier to improve the life of the border army. ”
Mu Changyan sighed: "This is not the shame of Hao Ping'an alone, this is the shame of my Dayan!"
All the officials fell to their knees: "The minister is guilty!"
Su Mao glared at Chen Zaiyan fiercely, and the fold in his hand was not handed over in the end. At this time, if he handed over this recital, he was afraid that not only would it have no impact, but he would also be scolded.
Chen Zaiyan is also worried...... In the military department, there are indeed moles.
