Chapter 44: Jiang Chun confesses the inside story of Tianxiao
Luo Zhenyi has also been upset these days. Ouyang Zhen and Xiao Yongnian's affairs, what happened to Jiang Chun in the past few days, made him extremely depressed and sad, and he only felt shameless to go to see Ding Jinzhi.
In the past, Ding Jinzhi was a little dissatisfied with the affairs between their brothers, so he was displeased and argued with reason. Now that he is ashamed of himself, he can only let Ding Jinzhi's accusations go unnoticed and say nothing.
At this moment, he only hopes that someone in the organization can guide him and let him get rid of this muddy, confused and confused days as soon as possible.
At noon, he finished some trivial affairs in the house, and returned to his lodgings listlessly, his personal attendant handed over a sealed notebook.
He glanced at the cover of the calligraphy book and couldn't help but feel shocked, "Where did it come from?" β
The attendant said, "The tenth sister sent it." "It turns out that this squire is also a member of the Heavenly Owl Organization.
Luo Zhenyi hurriedly opened the word book as if he had obtained a treasure, but saw the book: "Sixth brother, please go to Yulin outside the city to see it immediately after seeing the word book." Ten sisters. β
Recently, he had learned that the tenth and eleventh sisters had gone to serve the helper.
Now that I've seen the tenth sister's calligraphy today, does the helper have any important instructions or something that needs to be done urgently?
Seeing that the character book was like seeing the holy decree, without further ado, he simply explained a few words to the attendant, and then hurried out of the Ding Mansion and hurried to the designated place.
In the distance, he saw a lone figure standing in the vast expanse of the field.
The wind was sassy, tearing her clothes, dancing with her lapels, so beautiful that she was like a fairy who had fallen into the dust.
When she heard footsteps behind her, she turned around suddenly, and her autumn-like eyes swept at him.
Luo Zhenyi looked her up and down, "Are you ......?"
This woman is none other than Ling Zhi. With a lift of her left hand, a silver token glittered in the sunlight, and on the token was a cyan owl bird with wings spreading: "Ten sisters." β
"Oh." Luo Zhenyi lowered his head and greeted her respectfully.
In the Heavenly Owl Organization, the gang leader Li Ruiyun used the jade token to give orders, the deputy gang leader Lian Nanchun used the white jade token to symbolize his identity, and the twenty-three disciples used the silver token to represent his identity.
Luo Zhenyi said: "Tenth sister, I don't know what instructions the helper has?" β
The tenth sister said: "The helper is very dissatisfied with what has happened in the past few days, but fortunately, his old man has planned and has made arrangements for the next move. You come with your ears. β
Luo Zhenyi hurriedly stepped forward and listened.
Seeing that Luo Zhenyi was close to him, Ling Zhi suddenly sneered, and a flying knife in his sleeve popped out suddenly, inserting it into Luo Zhenyi's chest without a handle.
Luo Zhenyi's eyes widened, and he screamed miserably, "You ......"
Ling Zhi gritted his teeth, pulled out the flying knife, and said in a deep voice: "Sixth brother, don't blame me, I am also acting on orders." β
Luo Zhenyi's body like a half-cut iron tower fell heavily to the ground, his breath was not stopped, and he muttered: "Why? What am I doing wrong? β¦β¦β
Ling Zhi said: "You didn't do anything wrong, you only complain about Jiang Chun, he confessed and betrayed you, even if we will let you go, Lu Wenzheng will not let you go!" β
Luo Zhenyi was unwilling, he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "You can let me go, let me go......"
Ling Zhi said, "You mean to let you go find a place to hide?" Hmph, Lu Wenzheng's old guy is cunning, and Ling Yun's stinky boy is so shrewd, if you unfortunately fall into their hands, wouldn't your fate be even more miserable? We are doing this in the most merciful way of all. β
Luo Zhenyi's eyes were half-closed and half-open, and he was already angry; I don't know if Ling Zhi's words have entered his ears.
Ling Zhi glanced at him and sighed lightly, "Alas, we also have to do this as a last resort. β
Silently turned around, turning the slender figure into the wilderness reflected by the setting sun.
Luo Zhenyi's body was soon discovered by two farmers passing by, who couldn't help but panic when they saw it, and hurriedly reported the case to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department.
Lu Wenzheng glanced at Xu Zhidao and said: "Sure enough, as Mr. expected, they are thieves with weak hearts, and they are the first to strike." Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating, but it exposed Luo Zhenyi's identity. β
It turned out that Jiang Chun had no intention of defecting and rebelling at all, and it was Xu Zhi's counter-plan.
deliberately let people spread some rumors about Jiang Chun's confession, and induce the undercover spies in the Lu Mansion to spread this information to the leaders of the Tianxiao organization.
On the one hand, Jiang Chun's safety can be guaranteed - because since Jiang Chun has confessed, they think that there is no need to kill him for the time being.
On the other hand, he lured the snake out of the hole, induced them to kill Luo Zhenyi, and admitted that Luo Zhenyi was a member of the Tianxiao Organization without self-defeat.
Xu Zhidao: "Moreover, it can also prove one point: there are indeed spies of the Tianxiao organization in our house; And nine times out of ten, this person is the person around us! β
Lu Wenzheng said: "In your judgment, who is the most suspicious?" β
Xu Zhidao: "This student doesn't dare to speculate. Because 'knowing the face but not the heart', everyone is the object of suspicion until the truth is ascertained. β
Lu Wenzheng said: "Also include you and me, as well as Commander Ling, Yuan Ping, Yang Zhen, Dong Wu?" β¦β¦β
Xu Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Lu Wenzheng said: "In short, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. However, the top priority is to persuade Jiang Chun to tell the truth first. β
Xu Zhi nodded and said, "What the Lord said is extremely true, I hope this matter can make Jiang Chun change his mind." β
But he said that Jiang Chun, when he heard the news on the sickbed, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he felt his heart split, and said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, it was the younger brother who hurt you, and the younger brother deserves to die......
"It's not you who deserve death!" In the delicate voice, Lu Qiuyue stepped in, glanced at him and said, "Jiang Chun, it wasn't you who killed your eldest brother, it should be something inferior to the beasts of the Heavenly Owl Organization." β
Jiang Chun was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean ......?"
Lu Qiuyue said: "In good conscience, what did your big brother Luo do wrong?"
"Don't you feel chilled that he is loyal to the Celestial Owl Organization, and that they only convict him of a capital crime without asking questions based on a little unverified rumor and a trumped-up charge?
"Now you're still desperate for them, what are you trying to do? And now that Luo Zhenyi is also dead, do you still have any scruples? β
Jiang Chun put his hands in his hair with a complicated expression......
Prompted by various circumstances, Jiang Chun finally made up his mind to defect, and in front of Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi, he told some of the inside stories he knew about Tianxiao.
Jiang Chun said: "Since they have all decided that I am a villain who is rebellious and forgetful of profit, why should I bear this false name to accept this injustice?" What's moreβ"
Xu Zhidao: "What's more, you've already been there enough." β
Jiang Chun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Those who know me, Mr. Xu too." Now we don't have to beat around the bush, Lord Lu, Mr. Xu, if you want to know anything, just ask. β
Lu Wenzheng said: "You first talk about the basic situation of the Tianxiao organization, such as its origin, development, and the current situation in the organization. β
Jiang Chun said: "The Tianxiao Organization is a gang organization that has come from behind, and it has only been established for 30 years, and it has gone through two generations of gang leaders. The former gang leader is the founder of the organization, Lian Tingzhong, known as Dingyuanke, also known as Mr. Changxi. β
Xu Zhidao: "Dingyuan guest? Could it be that his ancestral home is Dingyuan? β
Jiang Chun said: "Yes, his ancestral home is Dingyuan Lianjiatun. The practice of the gang leader is not only martial arts, but also very scheming, and the most important thing is that:
"His family has been a famous doctor for generations, and his medical skills are also extremely clever, proficient in various techniques of using poison and detoxifying. You have all learned the power of hibiscus flower poison, it is the original research and creation of the Lian Gang Master, and it has later developed into a unique poison of the organization. β
Lu Wenzheng said "oh" and said, "There are probably restrictions on the people who have the right to use this unique poison, right?" β
Jiang Chun said: "Not bad. The people who can use the poison, in addition to the gang leader and the deputy gang leader, are the twenty-three disciples of Tianxiao.
"And there are very few people who can recognize poison and detoxify, except for the first help master training pavilion, the gang leader Li Ruiyun, and the deputy gang leader Lian Nanchun, there are only twenty-three disciples of the first monk and Taoist aunt."
Lu Wenzheng asked, "Who is the monk and Taoist aunt?" β
Jiang Chun said: "It is the Pingming monk, the white feather Taoist priest, and the empty color Taoist aunt, they are the first, second, and second among the disciples of Tianxiao. β
Lu Wenzheng said: "How did the old and new gang leaders alternate? β
Jiang Chun recalled: "It was about ten years ago! I don't know much about the specific situation, but I only know what kind of superior kung fu the main practice of the Lian Gang is, and only when you reach the ninth realm can you reach the peak.
As a result, when he practiced to the eighth level, he unfortunately went mad and returned to the west. Later, as his righteous son and disciple, Li Ruiyun announced the news to the gang and took over as the gang leader of the Tianxiao organization according to the last order of the former gang leader. β
Lu Wenzheng's brows furrowed, thoughtful.
Xu Zhidao: "My lord, don't you think this matter is a little strange? β
Lu Wenzheng twisted his beard and groaned; Then he asked what had happened.
Jiang Chun said: "The Lian Gang Master has a daughter, Lian Nanchun, who became the deputy gang leader of the Tianxiao Organization after her father's death. β
Lu Wenzheng nodded, and asked again: "Who are the twenty-three disciples of Tianxiao that you mentioned just now?" β
Jiang Chun said: "Of course, it is the backbone of this sect." The identities of these individuals can range from overt to covert. β
"Why?"
Jiang Chun said: "Because some of these people are famous devils in the world, and they don't have to participate in undercover operations, there is no need to hide their identities." β
"Who are?"
Jiang Chun said: "Pingming monk, white feather Taoist, empty color Taoist aunt." As for those Heavenly Owl disciples who have not disclosed their identities, I only know that they are hiding all over the capital under various identities, and I don't know who they are. β
Lu Wenzheng said: "Since you don't know each other's identities, how do you get in touch?" β
Jiang Chun said: "Contact with a token." The gang leader is a jade token, the deputy gang leader is a white jade token, and the twenty-three disciples are silver tokens. β
Lu Wenzheng said: "This mansion takes the liberty of asking, Jiang Chun, how many of your brothers are the first disciples?" β
Jiang Chun sighed, "My eldest brother Luo Zhenyi is the sixth disciple, the second brother Xiao Yongnian is the seventh disciple, the second sister-in-law Ouyang Zhen is the ninth disciple, and I am the eighth." β
He paused for a moment and said, "Now that I have told what I know, all that remains is to obey the instructions of the adults." β
Lu Wenzheng said: "Why do you say this." Jiang Chun, if you can stay in the mansion and serve the imperial courtβ"
Jiang Chun smiled bitterly: "Is it possible?" I used to be a member of the Celestial Owl Organization. β
Lu Wenzheng said: "When everyone makes mistakes, you just make a mistake." As long as you can change your mind, this government will keep you fine. You don't have to worry about it anymore. β
Jiang Chun nodded movingly.
Xu Zhi coughed and said, "Brother Jiang, there is something else that Xu doesn't know: since Brother Jiang was working in the Ding Mansion, has he ever found out that Ding Jinzhi has a connection with the Tianxiao Organization?" β
Jiang Chun said: "The three of my brothers were sent by the gang leader to go undercover in the Ding Mansion; Of course, if the time is ripe, he will take the opportunity to win him over, but Lord Ding still doesn't know about this matter. β
I see. Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi looked at each other for a while, and were silent.
Coming out of Jiang Chun, the two discussed again, and Lu Wenzheng wrote a letter and presented it to the emperor.
In the chapter, in addition to expounding the specific situation of the Tianxiao organization (according to Jiang Chun's offering); also played the matter of Ding Mansion hiring martial artists, Luo Zhenyi, Xiao Yongnian, Ouyang Zhen and others are all people from the Tianxiao Organization, and everything is so on.
This could not but arouse the great attention of Emperor Zhao Yu, and immediately summoned Ding Jinzhi to inquire about the situation.
Ding Jinzhi was sincerely frightened, and explained: "Holy Lord, these people were hired by the old minister a few months ago, and I didn't know their true identities at the beginning, and I was only blinded by their rhetoric, and now I only feel remorseful when I think about it!"
"Weichen is guilty, and he doesn't check the use of people, so that he is speculated by traitors, please forgive the saint!"
He Yuting also stepped forward to intercede for Ding Jinzhi.
The emperor felt reasonable, so he reprimanded Ding Jinzhi, demoted the official to a grade, and deducted a fine for one year, so that he could think about it behind closed doors.
Ding Jinzhi trembled and came down, and returned to the mansion in a panic.
After rejoicing that he had escaped the catastrophe, his hatred for Lu Wenzheng couldn't help but increase a few points, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Father Qing is not dead, and it is difficult to be reckless!" Lu Wenzheng, let's wait and see......"
Lu Wenzheng was busy all day, and his brows were difficult to stretch; Lu Qiuyue is different, she is bored in the house, and during Jiang Chun's recuperation, she has a way to pass the time, and she always likes to run to Jiang Chun's side when she has nothing to do.
On this day, she took Jiang Chun to take a walk in the garden. Under the leisure and elegance, she hugged another copy of [Tang Poems], suppressed her frustration, and groaned intoxicatedly.
Jiang Chun was not very interested in [Tang Poems], but only knew a little about the fur and was rough, and she was sleepy a few times.
Lu Qiuyue got angry and tapped him with the book, "Hey, how is that poem just now?"
Jiang Chun perfunctory: "Okay." β
"What's so good?"
Jiang Chun hesitated and said, "This ...... Good poetry can only be understood, not spoken. β
Lu Qiuyue was happy, "Reasonable." This poem can only be appreciated when it is recited. β
She shook her head, and groaned affectionately: "Near the cold and rain-eating grass, the wheat seedlings and wind grass reflect the embankment." - Jiang Chun, you pick up the next sentence. β
Jiang Chun said absentmindedly: "A good year must be remembered, the most orange, yellow, orange and green time." β
Lu Qiuyue said: "Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! β
Jiang Chun was stunned, "What did you say?" β
Lu Qiuyue couldn't help blushing and said: "It's wrong, one is the Tang Dynasty and the other is the Song Dynasty; One is written in early spring, and the other is written in early winter, which is calledβcalledβ"
Jiang Chun said: "The donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth. β
Lu Qiuyue said: "It's too vulgar." β
Jiang Chun said: "Dog's tail continues to mink? β
"It's not appropriate." Lu Qiuyue raised her head and pondered. Jiang Chun silently stared at her delicate demeanor, and suddenly felt a sadness......
Lu Qiuyue saw that he was just silent, and was about to say something more, when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind her, turned her face, and saw a beautiful young woman coming.
Lu Qiuyue's eyes lit up, although this woman was dressed as a maid, she was bright and lovely, and her elegance was peerless, giving people the feeling that the outfit was extremely incompatible with her beautiful and graceful demeanor.
Lu Qiuyue grew up in the mansion since she was a child, and she knew most of the maids and servants in the mansion, but she was very unfamiliar with the daughter before she met, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you, when did you come, why don't I know you?" β
