Early the next morning, while Zhang Lu was still having breakfast, the thousand-faced man hurriedly came.

Zhang Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Something happened?"

The Man of Thousand Faces nodded and said, "The Overseer, they're all back."

Zhang Zhen said, "That's right, I still have a lot of things to ask him."

The thousand-faced man said, "The Overseer brought the prisoners back, and just this morning, His Majesty gave an order, and the Overseer personally went down to take the people, and all the masters of the Jinyi Guard also participated."

Hearing the news, Zhang Lu suddenly got up, is His Majesty's butcher's knife going to be raised again?

He squinted his eyes slightly, and asked the Man of Thousand Faces, "Who were they captured by the Overseer?"

The thousand-faced man glanced at Zhang Zhen meaningfully, and then spoke: "Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, Marquis of Heshou, Zhu Shou, Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Bi, Ho Rong, Dongxiao Bo, Zhan Hui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Fu Youwen, the Servant of the Household Department, and ...... Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, and several other officials were killed on the spot because they resisted."

Zhang Lu just met Lan Yu yesterday, and Lan Yu was imprisoned this morning, is this a coincidence? Zhang Lu didn't know.

He took the embroidered spring knife and was about to go to the brocade guard.

It's just that he just took a few steps and froze there, he slowly turned around and asked the Thousand Faces Man, "Senior Brother Thousand Faces, I don't understand anything, and I hope you can solve my doubts."

Looking at Zhang Yan's solemn face, a thousand faces said, "You ask."

"You are a member of the Jinyi Guard, and you have always been very close to the Overseer, I can understand that you helped me during the mission, but now that you have returned to Jinling, why do you still want to help me?"

Zhang Yan asked the biggest confusion in his heart, since he knew the Thousand Faces Man, he had indeed helped himself a lot, but those were basically the tasks that Jin Yiwei had to perform, as a colleague, it was also appropriate to help each other, but now, the Thousand Faces really didn't need to help himself.

Even if Jiang Zhen and the others appeared today, there was no need for the thousand-faced people to come over to deliver the letter.

And Zhang Lu came back this time, but he had to find a way to save those noble children, if there were untrustworthy people around him, it would be difficult to complete the rest of the matter, so Zhang Lu would have this question.

The man with a thousand faces did not hide it, and replied directly: "My life was saved by the Overseer, and this ability is also the Overseer's, and the Overseer asked me to protect you and follow you, so I will act according to the Overseer's wishes, and I don't want to see so many innocent people die."

This makes Zhang Zhen feel very strange, what he did Jiang Zhen couldn't be clearer, and Jiang Zhen will most likely guess how he will act later, in the current situation, Jin Yiwei is the knife in the hands of His Majesty, the knife that keeps slashing at those nobles, and what Zhang Zhen has to do is to save people from this knife.

But why did Jiang Zheng send someone to help him? This really doesn't make sense.

Could it be that the Man with a Thousand Faces is a spy planted by his side? It's not like, if it were, the Man of a Thousand Faces wouldn't have said these words so openly.

Regarding what Jiang Zhen did, Zhang Lu was a little confused for a while.

Anyway, he couldn't see through it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Zhang Zhen nodded to the thousand-faced man, and went straight to Jinyiwei.

….

went all the way to Jinyiwei, and then to Jiang Zhen's study.

Jiang Zhen was lying on the desk and didn't know what to write, but he looked quite comfortable.

When he heard the door open, he didn't look up, but whispered, "Are you here?"

The thousand-faced man arched his hand towards Jiang Zhen and saluted, "Overseer."

Zhang Lu asked directly, "Does the Overseer know that we will come?"

Jiang Zhen still didn't look up, "It's not hard to guess."

Zhang Zhen was about to ask again, but was interrupted by Jiang Zhen's raised hand.

He finally raised his head and instructed the man with a thousand faces, "You go and wait outside first, and this commander will talk to Zhang Yu alone for a while."

The Man of Thousand Faces bowed his hand and withdrew, not forgetting to close the door as he went out.

Jiang Xuan found a comfortable position to sit down, and then he headed

He said, "Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask."

Zhang Zhen asked, "The Overseer asked Senior Brother of the Thousand Faces to tell me the news of Zhou Ji's death, that is, I will come back if I am sure?"

Jiang Xuan was noncommittal and said, "Not bad."

Zhang Lu asked again, "Then the Overseer must also know that when I come back, I will definitely find a way to save those noble children, after all, they are my friends."

Jiang Zhen nodded, "This commander naturally guessed it."

Zhang Zhen walked a few steps quickly, came to Jiang Xuan's case, slapped his palm on the case, and asked Jiang Xuan, "Then you still let me come back?"

Jiang Zhen was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "This Governor asked you to come back, so that you can witness all this, and you kid don't have to try to save them in vain, because you ...... No one can save them, and all you can do is watch them be beheaded."

Zhang Lu was furious, and slapped Jiang Xuan's table again, but this time his palm not only contained anger, but also contained his internal strength.

As long as this palm hits the table, it will surely shatter the table into countless pieces.

But his palm failed to hit the table in the end.

Because Jiang Zhen made a move, he grabbed Zhang Yuan's wrist.

Zhang Lu was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, he couldn't help but increase his strength, but his palm didn't move half a minute.

Jiang Xuan's face was relaxed, and he said softly, "It's okay if this table is broken, it's just that this overlord has just finished writing, and it's not good if you break it."

Jiang Zhen said, and shook Zhang Yuan's palm aside.

And sure enough, there is a character that Jiang Zhen has just written on the table, and this character actually only has two words: "good" and "evil".

Looking at Zhang Lu's angry expression, Jiang Zhen seemed to feel particularly uncomfortable, so he said again: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, in fact, Lan Yu and the other Governors didn't plan to move, but when Lan Yu saw you, the Governors had to charge him with rebellion."

"Rebellion is a capital crime, a capital crime sufficient to destroy the clan!" Zhang Yu yelled at Jiang Xuan.

He didn't care if Lan Yu died or not, because as far as Zhang Yu knew, Lan Yu had done a lot of heinous things, but how many innocent people were there in Lan Yu's mansion? These people have no reason to die.

Jiang Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, your kid's popularity among the sons of Xungui is really good, in this special period, as long as there is your connection, maybe those Xungui can really abandon their previous suspicions and unite, so ...... If you see a noble in Jinling, you will die, if you don't believe it, you can try."

….

Zhang Yan clenched his fists, he had always thought that he could play everything with his ingenuity, but now that he looked at it, his idea was really ridiculous, under absolute power and strength, his so-called ingenuity was not worth mentioning at all.

Zhang Lu turned around and walked away angrily.

Jiang Xuan said behind him, "You don't have to go to the prison of the Zhenfu Division, you can't get in."

Zhang Lu ignored it, but directly kicked the gate and walked away.

The thousand-faced man standing at the door was really taken aback, he looked at Zhang Zhen who was angrily leaving, and then entered the study and asked Jiang Xuan, "Overseer, Zhang Zhen ...... him?"

Jiang Xuan waved his hand, but his face did not see the ease just now, but squeezed out a wry smile.

"Let him go." After saying this, Jiang Zhen leaned back in the chair again.

The man with a thousand faces asked, "Overseer, there's something I don't know if I should ask."

Although the thousand-faced man has Jiang Zheng's trust, his position in Jinyi Wei is indeed not high, and logically speaking, he has no right to ask about many things.

But he still asked.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes and said softly, "You want to ask why this commander wants Zhang Lu to return to Jinling, right?"

A Thousand Faces said, "Exactly."

Jiang Xuan opened his mouth to explain, "Jin Yiwei, although he walks in the dark, he is doing righteous things. The first commander of Jinyiwei was Lord Mao Xiangmao, and when Jinyiwei was established, he said that Jinyiwei should be a yamen admired by all the people. can

And now?"

Jiang Zhen asked a rhetorical question, and threw the question to the thousand-faced man.

The Man of Thousand Faces thought for a moment and replied, "Now...... Now not only those corrupt officials are afraid of us, but the people are even more secretive of our Jinyiwei, and in the eyes of everyone, Jinyiwei has become synonymous with cold-blooded killing."

Jiang Zhen sighed softly and said, "Hey, yes, that's why this commander wants to change all this. Zhang Lu is my choice, he is now trying to save those innocent people, whether he succeeds or not, he can gain great prestige, and he can also make the remaining noble officials grateful to him, as long as he becomes the commander of Jinyiwei in the future, that is the beginning of Jinyiwei's journey towards the light."

The thousand-faced man didn't expect Jiang Zhen to have such a plan, he was puzzled, and asked again, "How can the Overseer be sure that Zhang Zhen will definitely become the next commander? What if he doesn't want to?"

Jiang Zhen replied: "He is unwilling in his heart, so this commander suppresses him everywhere, and this governor just wants him to know that if he wants to carry out the justice in his heart, he must take enough rights, otherwise everything is just empty talk, as long as he can truly understand this, then he will definitely follow this path."

The man with a thousand faces arched his hand towards Jiang Xuan, "The wisdom of the Overseer really impresses me."

These are not compliments, but the heartfelt words of a thousand-faced person.

"It's just that the Overseer is bent on doing righteous things, but now he kills those innocents in vain, is it really good?" The thousand-faced man changed his words and asked again.

Jiang Zhen looked at the good and evil on the table, and said softly: "This governor has more blood on his hands, and he will be able to stain his hands less in the future, this is also a helpless thing, Da Ming is too big, in order to make those who have evil intentions afraid, you must be ruthless, and it is better to die some innocent people now than to be in chaos in the future."

The Man with a Thousand Faces sighed as well.

Finally, he asked, "Why did the Overseer tell me this thing because I don't know anything?"

Jiang Xuan glanced at the thousand-faced man, and said softly: "He always needs a few helpers, you are one of them, you are from the common people, and you have experienced great pain, this commander believes that you will be able to assist Zhang Lu well, but the two of you are a little reckless, plus that cautious Liu Ercake is just right." That's all for today, but you have to remember that you don't tell Zhang Zhen what the Lord said to you."

Night rivers and lakes.
