Shenjing City, Lin Mansion.

Lin Daiyu held a book in her hand and sat in front of the window.

Although I looked at the book with my eyes, I didn't see it in my heart at all, and my mind was no longer in the book.

Six or seven days have passed, and I haven't seen Brother Cong come to see me, and I suddenly miss him very much.

During this time, the two of them were together almost every day, practicing martial arts together, reading together, falling in love, you and I farmed.

Suddenly, I haven't seen anyone for so long, and my heart feels empty.

Could it be that something happened during this time? Otherwise, it would be impossible for Brother Cong not to come and see him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

looked up at Erya next to him and asked, "Erya, you guys haven't been here for a long time, can't it be that something happened again?" Did You Know? ”

Er Ya said: "Miss Lin, something is indeed happening, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have been patrolling around the Lin Mansion, and the number has increased a lot, I went to ask them, and they said that it was arranged by the grandfather of the country, in case someone is not good for the Lin Mansion."

Now the whole city is visiting people from the north, and there have been some gossips outside recently, which is very unfavorable to Grandpa Guo, who should be busy dealing with these things. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she said with some doubts: "Search the people from the north, Erya, it won't be someone who will assassinate Brother Cong, right?" Brother Cong will be fine, right? ”

Er Ya smiled: "Miss Lin, don't worry, Grandpa Guo will be fine, even if there are really assassins, they can't hurt Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo didn't come to see the girl, it should be afraid that those people will know the relationship between the girl and him, and they will deal with the girl." ”

Lin Daiyu listened, and was a little unable to sit still.

Although Erya said that Brother Cong would be fine, but he knew it, how could he rest assured?

"Erya, why don't we go back to Rongguo Mansion, I feel a little uneasy when I hear you say this, I want to go back and have a look."

Erya shook her head and said, "Girl, we can't move lightly at this time, let alone send it to the door, what we have to do is to wait quietly and not cause trouble to Grandpa Guo." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Erya, with the hard work of the two of us, there should be no problem with self-preservation, right?" ”

Er Ya said: "Girl, since it is an assassin sent out, they are all dead soldiers, these people can not even want their own lives in order to achieve their goals, and it is difficult for the two of us to survive."

Grandpa Guo asked me to follow the girl, just to protect the girl's safety, how could he bring the girl into danger? The girl's idea is absolutely not good, let's stay at home and wait for Grandpa Guo to come over by himself. ”

Zijuan next to her also persuaded: "Girl, what Er Ya said is right, at this time, we still don't make trouble for Grandpa Guo, in case we affect Grandpa Guo again, it will be our sin." ”

Although it is a little unwilling, but thinking about the words of two people, there is some truth.

In case Brother Cong is involved, he will regret his death.

"Okay, then let's wait at home, Erya, what's the matter with the gossip you said?"

Er Ya said: "Girl, it is rumored that Grandpa Guo befriended Mongolian dignitaries and smuggled contraband items to Mongolia, and also said that Grandpa Guo wanted to do wrong. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help frowning.

These gossips are indeed very unfavorable to Brother Cong, and they are easy to be used by people with intentions.

Brother Cong has been doing business with the Mongols all these years, and if he wants to say that he has no contact, he doesn't believe it, and this matter is not clear at all.

If someone takes the opportunity to impeach, I don't know if Brother Cong will be fine?

"Erya, this matter is indeed very unfavorable to Brother Cong, and I don't know if he has a way to resolve it?"

Er Ya smiled: "Girl, don't worry, Grandpa Guo has always been thoughtful in doing things, since he dares to do business with the Mongols, he will not be afraid of people saying three or four, Grandpa Guo has his own way to deal with it." ”

Zijuan also said: "Girl, Grandpa Guo has been powerful since he was a child, and I haven't seen him suffer a loss in so many years, so the girl doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Lin Daiyu nodded, Brother Cong did things, he really planned and then acted.

Since he met Brother Cong, everything he has done has been planned, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is scheming.

Lin Daiyu was originally an extremely smart woman, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood.

I am also very relieved about Brother Cong, but the two have a close relationship, and if they care, they will be messed up.

It seems that you have to step up your practice of swordsmanship, otherwise when you encounter something, you can only hide behind, and you can't help anything, and you don't even have the qualifications to participate.

I have to stand by Brother Cong's side all the time, it's not okay to always look like this, I have to share it with Brother Cong.

"Well, I know, Brother Cong has always been powerful, I'm just a little concerned. Erya, let's go and practice the sword technique for a while, I want to meet Brother Cong's requirements as soon as possible, and follow him in the future. ”

Erya said: "The girl cultivates hard, and she will soon be able to meet the requirements of Grandpa Guo." ”

Zijuan said a little tangled: "Girl, what should I do then?" ”

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Zijuan, you can wait for us at home in the future, and you have to keep someone at home to take care of the house." ”

Zijuan said: "Then how can it be done, where the girl goes, I will also follow, I will practice with you." ”

Lin Daiyu smiled, she only started practicing now, but it was a little late.

However, it didn't discourage her enthusiasm, and when the time came, it was okay to scare and scare people.

"If you want to practice, let's practice together, if you practice well and can protect yourself, I will take you with me when the time comes."

The three of them came to the courtyard, picked up the long knife, and practiced one move at a time.

······

After Jia Cong left the palace, he brought the crescent moon and the iron pillar over.

The list of ministers impeached by himself was given to the two men, and they were asked to allocate a part of their personnel to closely monitor these people.

And from the mouths of the surrounding residents, inquire about the whereabouts of these people during this time,

Then I asked if there were any strangers who had been to their house during this time, and tried to dig out some clues from these people.

On the other hand, progress has also been made in the task of finding the source of the rumors.

In this operation, Jia Cong used all the strength of his subordinates.

In addition to the special combat team of the iron pillar, all the horses and horses of his five cities, including the helpers, there are 20,000 or 30,000 people, plus the intelligence personnel under the crescent moon, there are more than 20,000 people in the formation.

These people mobilized together, and within a few days, there was news.

All kinds of news gathered together at the headquarters of the crescent moon, and some core personnel were specifically responsible for screening, eliminating, and finding out useful information.

Based on this information, Tie Zhu quietly took the people away with the special combat team.

Then, separate these people and interrogate them one by one to find out who is behind them.

After a few days of busyness, Tie Zhu handed over the transcript to Jia Cong's hands.

"My lord, a total of more than 100 people have been arrested this time, and after interrogation, many of them are from the capital, and they have been bribed, and this kind of person accounts for the majority, there are sixty or seventy people in total, and the people who bought them have also been found.

There were thirty-four of them, and the people who bought them were among them, and after screening, twenty-six came from the north, and the remaining eight, not all the way to them, they were also bought, but the people who bought them were not found.

I have already arranged for someone to take the clues they provided and go to investigate, and I believe that news will come soon. My lord, what do these people do with them? ”

Jia Cong nodded, still very satisfied with this effect.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, this sentence is not bad at all, and this operation perfectly paraphrases this.

Looking for someone in Shenjing City, which has a population of five or six hundred thousand, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

If it weren't for the mobilization of so many people, it would be really hard to find it for a while.

"Lock it up first, and when this matter has a result, they will be dealt with, these are not good people, since they are here, then squeeze out all their value."

"Yes, my subordinates know what to do."

Jia Cong flipped through the transcript and looked at it carefully.

These twenty people came in a group from the north, and they came in the form of a caravan.

Their purpose was not to assassinate Jia Cong, but to bribe the officials of the DPRK and China, use them against Jia Cong, and want to prevent Jia Cong from going to Liaodong to participate in the war.

It seems that Hong Tai is still very jealous of himself, although he hates himself to the bone, but he is not willing to really face himself.

The main thing is that this guy has never been bargained for in his own hands, and he was almost blown up by himself.

In fact, he really did too much, without his help, Emperor Longqing would not let him go to Liaodong, and the officials of the court and China would not agree.

These twenty people are just one of them, and they don't know about the existence of the other way.

These people bribed three officials of the DPRK and China, one was Pei Hezhong, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the other two were Feng Jialin and Lu Deming, all of whom were officials in Beijing.

A message above caught Jia Cong's attention.

When these people heard that they had offended the second prince, they actually threw the news into the second prince's mansion.

Thinking of taking advantage of the second prince's hatred for himself, using him to attack himself.

These people are really well-informed.

Could it be that those people were bribed by the second prince? Is he behind the scenes?

Listening to Dai Quan, he gave the second prince eye medicine, and Emperor Longqing was furious and punished the second prince for thinking about it behind closed doors for half a year.

At this time, you should think about it behind closed doors in the house.

Could it be that in this case, he still dares to intervene and take the initiative to get involved?

Damn, if he really gets involved, he won't be used to him, and it's time for him to fight back.

"Tie Zhu, the rest of the people, were they bribed by the second prince? I've seen that message, have you asked someone to look into it? ”

Tie Zhu said: "My lord, someone has been sent to investigate, but there is no result yet." ”

Jia Cong said: "Those officials, how is the investigation, this time we must check them clearly, from beginning to end, if you can find out some black information, it would be the best, and if you knock them down, dare to go against the master, they don't have to think about it." ”

Tie Zhu said: "My lord, the news over there is still being collected, and we have to wait a little longer." ”

Jia Cong said: "You go and get busy first, you must make sure that these messages are accurate, and strive to take them away in waves." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will confirm it first, and we will not disappoint you."

······

Shenjing City, the second prince's mansion.

The second prince was sitting with a few of his subordinates and drinking.

Looking at the smile on his face, it is obvious that he is in a very good mood at this time.

"I said that Jia Cong's bastard did business with the Mongols, how did he do it so big, such a rumor, other people's caravans would have accidents, but his caravans had never had an accident, it turned out to be in collusion with the leaders of the Mongol tribes.

This bastard's audacity is really too great, he dares to do anything, if someone hadn't thrown this news into our house, we would all be in the dark, wouldn't he be afraid of his father's condemnation if he did this? ”

One of them said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has been staying in the palace, and you don't know much about the things outside, and you don't know about these things at all, you all know that Jia Cong is doing business with the Mongols, who can know the Tao inside?"

I don't know who it is this time, to deal with Jia Cong's child, with us behind the scenes, the news has spread quickly, and now Jia Cong is estimated to be in a mess. ”

The second prince laughed and said: "What Lord Zhang said is right, Jia Cong's bastard is too rampant, he leaves no room for action, many people hate him so much, but there is nothing they can do about him."

Now it's okay, when those imperial envoys hear the news, it is estimated that they will write to impeach him, and we will also arrange a few people to promote it, I want to see how Jia Cong resolves this crisis. ”

Seeing that the second prince was so happy, everyone also complimented them one after another, and for a while, the second prince laughed.

Qu Yingzhe looked at this scene and sighed slightly in his heart.

During this period of time, the second prince is becoming more and more unable to hold his breath, and it is not a good thing to go on like this.

Not long after being reprimanded by His Majesty, he was still thinking about it behind closed doors, so he got involved in Jia Cong's affairs, which is very unwise.

Those people sent the news in, obviously, they wanted to take advantage of the second prince's hatred for Jia Cong, pull the second prince into the water, and use the second prince as a gunman.

The second prince clearly knew the intentions of others, and despite his own dissuasion, he still got into it.

This look, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a master.

As soon as he encountered Jia Cong's matter, the second prince completely lost his previous wisdom.

Although this time the matter is relatively big, but if you want to use this to bring down Jia Cong, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do it, there is no evidence in your hand, just relying on some rumors, how can it be possible?

Besides, I didn't even know the identities of those people, so I rushed into it, which was too imprudent.

The second prince looked at Qu Yingzhe on the side and said with a smile: "Mr. Qu, you said that in the great court the day after tomorrow, should we send more people to attack Jia Cong together?" Take this opportunity to directly knock Jia Cong down.

When I think of this bastard, I feel angry, and I can't wait to break him into pieces, and if I can bring him down, it can be regarded as an evil outlet. ”

Qu Yingzhe said: "Your Highness, don't do this, this matter is obvious, someone is targeting Ning Guogong, but just based on these rumors, there is no conclusive evidence, so there is no choice but to Ning Guogong."

Since someone wants to deal with him, we just have to wait and see what happens, at most it is to beat the side drum.

If we get too involved, once there is a problem with the identity of those people, we will also be implicated, knowing that it is impossible, and we need to make great efforts? ”

When the second prince heard this, he slowly calmed down and pondered carefully, what he said did make sense.

"It's still Mr. Qu's thoughtfulness, and this matter will be done according to Mr. Qu's wishes."
