Chapter 121: The Yellow Sparrow is behind
Zhu Houjiong, the king of Zhongshun, was in a particularly good mood, although today's incident did not bring any substantial losses to the emperor, but at least it gave the people of Shenjing the impression that the Beijing division was unsafe, this was a good start, and he also heard that the people sent by Zhu Houze had infiltrated Nanzhili, and had persuaded the Cao Gang and the salt merchants that the main force of the Jiangnan battalion was in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and once there was a disturbance, they would patrol the old soldiers of the battalion..... The more Zhu Houjiong thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Zaiyan took a sip of wine from his wine glass and said, "I've been checking for so long, but there are still no clues!" ”
Zhu Houjiong suddenly felt a headache, it has been almost three months since the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and the murderer of Zhu Zaimo has not been traced so far, the only thing that can be determined is that someone stole the self-made fire gun from the Hyogo Division, and the investigation of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the Criminal Department has no clue, Zhu Houjiong also knows in his heart that it is estimated that he will not be able to find anything.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houjiong sighed and shook his head silently.
Seeing this, Zhu Zaiji poured Zhu Houjiong a glass of wine, "Someone once heard Hou Zhen say that he had seen a fire gun in Hou Xiaokang's study. ”
"Hou Xiaokang?"
Zhu Houjiong was stunned.
Zhu Zaiyan nodded, "This is what Liu Heng said when he was drinking with others, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he also heard what Hou Zhen said after drinking." ”
Zhu Houjiong's face was very gloomy, and he picked up his wine glass. After drinking three glasses of wine in one go, he said, "Find a way to check it!" ”
Zhu Zaiyan hurriedly whispered: "My son plans to start with Hou Yong." ”
Zhu Houjiong nodded, thought for a while, and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, take your time, I suspect that there is someone behind this matter." ”
In the night, a horse galloped from a distance, the horse stopped at the gate of the Zhongshun Palace, the man in black jumped off the horse, galloped up the steps, knocked on the side door, and handed a jade tablet in, "There is an urgent matter to report to the prince." ”
The porter didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed in to report, and after a while, the side door opened, and a housekeeper opened the side door to let the man in black in, "The prince is in the study." ”
Soon, the man in black hurried to the study, and he entered the door and bowed to Zhu Houjiong, "See the prince!" ”
Zhu Houjiong frowned slightly, "Why are you here?" You don't know the situation on my side, there are eyeliners from Dongchang and Jinyiwei everywhere. ”
"Back to the prince, the matter is urgent, and I have to come in person."
"What's going on?"
"Lord Wang, Zheng Bo led people to infiltrate Dongcheng, I heard that the first assistant of the cabinet was going to be destroyed, and the humble post had just gotten the news, and it was estimated that he would do it in the middle of the night."
"What!"
Zhu Houjiong was furious, he slapped the table and said, "This bastard, what the hell does he want to do!" What is the use of me raising you? ”
The man in black was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "The prince is angry, Zheng Bo deliberately broke away from our people, and it is too late to return to Xizhimen." The lowly has commanded them to go and look for them, and they must be found before midnight. ”
"Humph! If you can't find them, you don't have to come back, get out! ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
The man in black kowtowed and ran out with a rolling belt, Zhu Houjiong was very angry in his heart, and slammed his fist on the table.
One of the reasons that made Zhu Houjiong angry was that Zheng Bo made the decision without authorization, and did not put him in his eyes at all, and made it very clear in Zhu Houze's letter that the actions of the Wara scout in Shenjing City must be agreed by him Zhu Houjiong, but Zheng Bo not only sneaked into Jia Jue's mansion without authorization, and directly lost a team of elites, but now he is going to assassinate the first assistant of the cabinet on the spot, not to mention whether it can succeed, once he kills Wen Fangyan, most of them will anger the emperor and let him intervene in the affairs of the grassland in advance, but he has heard that Wang Ziteng is now eager to try, I want to lead my troops into the court of Warat.
Zhu Houjiong was irritable in his heart, pacing back and forth in the study with his back hand, at this time, Zhu Zaiji next to him spoke, "Don't worry, father, Zheng Bo is not a fool, he understands that killing Wen dialect will do more harm than good, and it will arouse the revenge of the imperial court. ”
"What did you say?"
Zhu Houjiong didn't hear clearly, and asked again.
"I mean, Zheng Bo is lying to us, he didn't go to Dongcheng to kill Wen Fangyan."
Suddenly, Zhu Houjiong's eyes flashed, "Are you saying that their target is the granary of Chongwenmen?" ”
"Yes, their goal is the 300,000 stone grain stored there."
Zhu Zaiyan nodded, "The barracks on the edge of the granary were originally stationed with a battalion of forbidden troops, but later they withdrew to Shanglin Yuan because the Ruishi battalion entered the city, and now it happens to be empty again. As a result, there are less than 500 guards in such a large granary, and there are too many loopholes to exploit. ”
"Do they succeed, you say?"
Zhu Zaiyan smiled slightly and said, "Whether it succeeds or not, it is very beneficial to us." ”
“.....”
Zhu Zaiyan raised his wine glass and drank it all, and said, "Father doesn't want to get those account books?" ”
Zhu Houjiong was stunned again.
"Today, when Jia Jue went out, he took a carriage, and first went to the Xue family's pawn shop in Dongcheng and West City."
"What do you mean, Jia Jue transferred those account books to the pawnshop?"
"As the old saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent a thief. Besides, there are many girls in the Jia family..... Therefore, Jia Jue will definitely transfer things, and the Xue family's pawnshop is where things are hidden, not only is it located in the downtown area, but there are many mechanisms in the basement, and it is difficult to safely take things out of it. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Zaiyan's gaze became cold, and he sneered, "But Ren Jia Jue is thoughtful, he can't imagine that the person who designed the Xue family's pawnshop would leave a detailed drawing." ”
"Are you sure this drawing is okay?"
Zhu Houjiong still asked quietly.
Zhu Zaiyan turned out a smile: "Father still remembers that the child once went to the West Market on the day of the Shangyuan Festival?"
"That's good."
Zhu Houjiong relieved his mind at this time, he was already a little impatient to see these account books, and looked at Zhu Zaiji again, "What should I do next?" ”
Zhu Zaiyan said in his ear: "Since knowing that Jia Jue annexed the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce, his son guessed that there would be such a day, and he had long been on guard, and when he came out of Hengshudian that day, his son bought all the shops and yards opposite, and also dug a secret road, which leads directly to the West Market Mahang, where more than 100 people live around, all of whom are outlaws recruited by the second brother, and they all have human lives in their hands. ”
"Good!"
Zhu Houjiong pondered for a while, and then made up his mind, "Let's give him a fish in troubled waters!" ”
.........
At this time, the sky has been dark, the time has come to the third watch, there is a mansion on the side of Heng Shudian, there is only a small alley between the two families, not wide, only two people can walk side by side, the mansion is deserted, it is like a dark and dead world, there is no light in the hall, only hear the breathing in the hall one after another, obviously, there are many people inside, suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the hall, "The task this time is very simple, the spies of Nanzhen Fusi will turn off all the organs in Heng Shudian, remember, Except for books and books, the rest of the property is not allowed to be touched, otherwise the chief will blame it, don't blame the miscellaneous family for not interceding for you, and try not to hurt people's lives. ”
"Yes."
"Let's do it."
As soon as the words fell, I saw thirty capable black-clothed people rushing out of the hall, they were all Dongchang fans, this time they were ordered by the emperor to go to Hengshudian to take out the batch of books that Jia Jue had stored in, in order to cooperate with the actions of Dongchang, Nanzhen Fusi had to wake up a secret spy who had lurked into the Xue family's pawnshop, and even changed the route and time of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the forbidden army's night patrol.
Thirty men in black climbed onto the wall and rushed away, like a whirlwind, towards Heng Shudian.
