16. Collusion in secret

Chen Tiankui picked up the secret fold on the table and said, "This is a secret report sent by the brocade guard!" ”

"Some time ago, the Qingcheng faction slaughtered the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and Lin Zhennan, the chief dart master of the Dart Bureau, contacted a local Jinyi Wei Baihu Office, and was willing to hand over a family heirloom exercise, "Sword Spectrum to Warward Off Evil Spirits", in exchange for ensuring that his family entered Beijing safely."

"However, the news leaked and reached the ears of Xichang, for some reason, Xichang attached great importance to this matter and decided to jointly handle the case with Jinyiwei."

"Evil Sword Spectrum!"

Lin Mang was surprised.

Doesn't this exercise need to be practiced by wielding a sword from the palace?

Wait a minute......

Lin Mang's eyes were dark, he took the secret report and flipped through it, and said secretly: "Xichang suddenly intervened, did he learn the truth?" ”

"But how did the people in the West Factory find out?"

Seeing Lin Mang frowning and pondering, Chen Tiankui couldn't help asking, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Nope!" Lin Mang got up and hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, my lord, my humble duty will definitely live up to my mission!" ”

"It doesn't have to be that way!" Chen Tiankui shook his head and said: "This time, the West Factory is the main force, and the West Factory has sent a palm seal eunuch to lead people from the capital to send you there, just because Lin Zhennan's family has now fled to our territory." ”

"If this can be done, it will be done, and if it is not successful, there is no need to force it!"

"Killing in the rivers and lakes, as long as it doesn't endanger ordinary people, there is no need to interfere too much."

Lin Mang nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

Chen Tiankui waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

"Retire from your duties!"

Lin Mang bowed, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.

……

Back in the courtyard, looking through the secret report, he was already a little sure in his heart.

This Xichang must know something, otherwise he wouldn't have specially sent a palm seal eunuch from the capital to come.

In the past, except for the factory officials, the officials and personnel in the East Factory were all drawn from the Jinyi Guard, but later its members began to be gradually reorganized and composed of eunuchs.

Nowadays, there are very few members of the Jinyi Guard in the East and West No. 2 Factory, and almost all of its officials are eunuchs.

Even some Dongchang fans are eunuchs.

Although he is a eunuch, he also practices martial arts, and his strength is quite good.

Of course, there are also people selected from the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, or trained by Dongchang since childhood.

I'm a little curious about the factory flower in the West Factory.

From memory, I know that the original intention of the appearance of the West Factory was to contain the East Factory.

Compared with the East Factory, the West Factory has not been established for a long time.

Different from Jinyiwei, the scope of activities of the East and West No. 2 Factory is more limited to the capital.

When necessary, people will be sent out of Beijing.

The power to supervise the hundreds of officials in the world is in the hands of Jinyiwei, so there are thousands of households and hundreds of households in various places.

In the final analysis, this is a game between the Son of Heaven and the bigwigs in the court.

After all, I don't know how many people want to send people into the Jinyi Guard, if the Jinyi Guard declines, then what is the point of sending in.

As for the East and West No. 2 Factory, the princes of the court have always looked down on that group of eunuchs.

"Your Excellency!"

Outside the courtyard, Wang Dasheng stepped in with his sword, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, you call me?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Mang put down the secret report in his hand and said, "Inform me, early tomorrow morning, we will set off for Xiangling Town, and there will be a mission above." ”

Wang Dasheng's face was overjoyed, and he hugged his fists and said, "Obey!" ”

Quest means merit!

Lin Mangyan glanced at him and warned: "Don't be careless, and this time, there are people from the West Factory involved, and we are just going to help." ”

"Alright, let's go down and prepare!"

sent away Wang Dasheng, and Lin Mang got up and went to the martial arts training ground.

……

Meanwhile.

Tiansheng Restaurant in the city.

It's still a box on the third floor, but this time the guests have changed.

Outside the door of the box, Zhou Shijin saw the figure coming from the corner of the stairs, and hurriedly smiled: "Master Tao!" ”

"Thank you Lord Tao for your face, Zhou has been waiting for a long time."

Tao Ning's face was indifferent, and he asked in a cold tone: "Patriarch Zhou has been invited repeatedly, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Zhou Shijin let go of his body, bowed down and gestured, "Master Tao, please inside?" ”

Tao Ning stopped in place and took a few breaths before walking towards the box.

The two sides sit down,

Zhou Shijin said with a smile: "It is Zhou's honor to invite Master Tao. ”

"I know it's too abrupt to invite adults, and I just hope that today's dishes will satisfy you."

As he spoke, he got up and unveiled a dish.

A hint of golden sheen shines.

Zhou Shijin explained: "This dish is called Golden Buddha Jumping Over the Wall! ”

Tao Ning squinted at the vivid golden Buddha on the plate, with a smile on his face, and said lightly:

"This dish...... Not bad. ”

"I just don't know, what about the other dishes?"

The smile on Zhou Shijin's face became more and more intense, and he reached out again to uncover a plate.

"Lord Tao, please look, this dish is called Jade Cabbage!"

On the plate, there is a delicately carved cabbage-shaped jadeite, which is verdant.

Tao Ning's face showed a little surprise, and he said with deep meaning: "Patriarch Zhou, these dishes are all hard dishes." ”

"But if you don't succeed, I'm afraid there should be something else to do besides eating today, right?"

Zhou Shijin praised: "Master Tao Mingjian, there is indeed something that needs Lord Tao's help. ”

"I don't know what the relationship between Master Tao and Lin Xiaoqi is?"

Tao Ning's expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhou Shijin was relieved and hurriedly said, "Master Tao, don't misunderstand. ”

"Don't hide it, my Zhou family has some grievances with that Lin Mang."

"And that Lin Mang forcibly occupied an opportunity that should have belonged to my Zhou family, but he is an official, and we are waiting for the people, so there is no argument for it."

Tao Ning's expression was playful.

If he had said this to another person, he would have believed it.

But the Zhou family ......

Hehe!

Tao Ning took a sip of the tea on the table, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Zhou might as well say it directly, there is no need to hide it." ”

He had already guessed what was going on.

Lin Mang, Lin Mang, arrogance comes at a price!

Zhou Shijin said bluntly: "Since this is the case, then I won't hide it from Master Tao." ”

"Here's the thing......"

So he told the story.

After listening, a trace of imperceptible jealousy and greed flashed in Tao Ning's eyes.

Five-grade martial arts!

This kind of martial art is something he has never been exposed to!

Gongfa martial arts, once they enter the sixth grade, their power will reach a new height.

Tao Ning raised his glass and said: "Thank you Patriarch Zhou for your hospitality today, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!" ”

Zhou Shijin raised his glass at the same time, smiling like a spring breeze: "Happy cooperation!" ”

The two of them touched a cup and drank it all!

Tao Ning's expression was cold, and a trace of killing intent flashed between his eyebrows!

Lin Mang, secretly hiding the exercises, not reporting the knowledge, bending the law for personal gain, this pile, one by one, I see how you quibble then!

……

vertical day,

The door of the hundred households opened, and Lin Mang led nineteen horsemen in brocade clothes to ride out.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the early morning city.

The group disappeared into the smoke and dust at the city gates......
