The figure, taking advantage of the panic and confusion of the brothel, slipped silently to the backyard wall, and then turned over and climbed the wall.

But just as he was about to climb over the wall and escape, the flying rider of the Reverse Scale Division, who was guarding outside the backyard, shouted loudly, followed by a crossbow of arrows.

The man couldn't dodge, and with a thud, he was shot in the shoulder, and then involuntarily rolled back on his back and fell back into the courtyard.

Two spies rushed over and pinned him to the ground.

Zhu Junjie, the flag commander of the three branches, heard that someone had escaped, and was shot in the shoulder by the flying horse squatting outside, and was captured on the spot, thinking that it was probably a big fish, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to bring that guy over.

"Little cub, why are you running away?" Zhu Junjie asked with a cruel smile.

"My lord, my own people, I will have a long history with you...... Acquaintances. ”

Zhu Junjie smacked his lips: "Tsk, it's okay, you can actually tell the name of Tian Changshi, it seems that he is knowledgeable." May I ask where is the sacredness? ”

"I ...... I'm walking next to Zuo Xiang, called ...... Wei Peng. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Junjie was stunned: The housekeeper in Lord Wei's mansion?

"What's the proof?"

Wei Peng endured the pain in his shoulder, grinned and snorted, "Yes...... There is a waist card! ”

Zhu Junjie stretched out his hand and pulled out a small iron sign from Wei Peng's belt, which read: The internal history of the left servant shooting the house.

I'll go, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple?!

Of course, Zhu Junjie knew the relationship between Tian Mu and Wei Zixuan, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to let go of Wei Peng and quickly treat his wounds.

"I said, Lord Neishi, you are so dignified, why did you come to such a place?" Zhu Junjie said with a flattering smile.

Wei Peng's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Don't ask me why I'm here, when did you start sweeping up private prostitution?" Isn't this supposed to be under the control of Jingzhao Yin Mansion or Wannian County?! ”

Zhu Junjie looked around, lowered his voice and said, "We received a secret report, there seems to be a problem here." ”

Wei Peng was secretly shocked in his heart, but he scolded on his lips: "What secret report? What's the problem? ”

Zhu Junjie scratched his head in embarrassment, and thought for a moment before whispering: "I heard that the Intelligence Department of the Zhenjiang Army is monitoring here, and Lord Tian is worried about what is going on, so I asked me to wait to check." ”

As soon as he heard that the other party said that the Zhenjiang army was eyeing here, Wei Peng was even more nervous. Red Sleeve Zhai is a secret stronghold of Lao Jianhua in the imperial capital, if Li Jiangyao's people find out the clues, then Wei Zixuan's identity is likely to be exposed.

He rolled his eyes and said busily: "Since this matter involves the Zhenjiang Army, you must not make too much noise." In this way, except for my friend, all the others will be arrested and interrogated strictly, and no one will be allowed to go! ”

"Your friend?" Zhu Junjie was curious: "Which one is a friend of Neishi?" ”

Wei Peng raised his hand and pointed to a large group of prostitutes squatting in the corner: "The merchant in a green shirt." ”

Zhu Junjie looked in the direction of his finger, nodded and said, "Oh, that's easy, I'll let him go." ”

"Nope! Don't let him go on his own! Wei Peng hurriedly said: "Lord Lao Fu prepares a carriage and sends us directly back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that no one outside can see it." ”

Seeing that Wei Peng was so nervous and mysterious, Zhu Junjie knew that there must be some reason for this, but since this matter was related to the person who shot Wei Zixuan by Shangshu's left servant, he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to do the same.

Not long after, Wei Peng and his Qingyi friends took the carriage prepared by the Reverse Scale Division and returned to the Zuo Fu Mansion in Chongrenfang.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Wei Mansion, Wei Peng ignored the pain of his injuries and went straight to the study in the backyard to report the previous emergency to Wei Zixuan.

Hearing that Wei Peng had brought the green-shirted guest home, Wei Zixuan was immediately furious and directly smashed the book in his hand on Wei Peng's face.

"Bastard thing! Have you forgotten the rules? How can you bring people here?! ”

Wei Peng was scolded like earth, and explained tremblingly: "Xiangye, the person from the Reverse Scale Division said that the Zhenjiang Army was secretly monitoring the Red Sleeve Zhai, and the villain was worried that there were their eyeliner inside and outside the courtyard at that time, and if they didn't bring the messenger back, in case they ......."

"In case of a fart!" Wei Zixuan said angrily: "You shouldn't recognize him!" ”

Wei Peng said with a sad face: "If the villain doesn't recognize him, the Reverse Scale Division will take him back to Beiya along with the people from the Red Sleeve Zhai, and I'm afraid that he will be exposed." ”

Wei Zixuan slapped him in the face: "Are you afraid that he will be exposed, aren't you afraid that I will be exposed?" Idiot! ”

Wei Peng covered his face and said timidly: "That...... So what should we do now? ”

Wei Zixuan calmed down, thought for a while, and said: "The messenger can't leave here for the time being, you go and get him an identity, settle down in the mansion first, run errands with you, and keep an eye on him at the same time." These messengers are all running errands for Mr. Law, and they may not know my true identity. But if you do it today, he will know everything, and then he will deal with it after asking Mr. for what he means. ”

Wei Peng nodded, agreed, and then said with annoyance: "I don't know how it happened, the Intelligence Department of the Zhenjiang Army and the Beiya Reverse Scale Division actually targeted the Red Sleeve Zhai at the same time, could it be that Jinniang made a mistake?" ”

Wei Zixuan frowned: "Jin Niang is an ordinary old bustard, what can she do wrong?" It can't be that you have a problem, right? ”

"It's impossible!" Wei Peng hurriedly said: "Xiangye, you know, the villain usually acts in a low-key manner, in addition to conscientiously handling the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also goes to the Red Sleeves Zhai on weekdays to take a turn, and even those people who are against the scales today don't recognize me, how can it be that there is something wrong with the villain?" ”

Wei Zixuan heard that he was reasonable, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, God bless, the red sleeve Zhai was confiscated by Tian Mu's people, if it is intercepted by the Zhenjiang army, you and I will not be able to save our lives." The message brought by the courier wasn't lost, was it? ”

"No, here, villain, fine." As Wei Peng spoke, he took out a secret letter from his arms and presented it to Wei Zixuan with both hands.

Wei Zixuan took it, unfolded it and read it twice, and then burned the letter completely with the candle on the table.

"Go ahead, use your brains more in the future, be careful!"

Wei Peng obeyed the order and was about to turn around and go out, but Wei Zixuan suddenly shouted to him again: "By the way, Xiaoting's matter, what's wrong?" ”

Wei Peng replied seriously: "At present, Jingzhao Yin Mansion has taken over this case and is organizing manpower to investigate and handle it. The forbidden troops in the palace also withdrew from the Horse Mansion, and all of them were guarded by Murong Xue's own soldiers. As for Li Xi, there didn't seem to be much reaction. ”

Wei Zixuan thought for a while: "What about Wen Zan?" ”

"Everything is normal with Wenzan." Wei Peng said: "He is quite clean and does not leave a tail. ”

"In that case, let's find an opportunity to clean him up and the killer too, so as to save you a lot of dreams at night." Wei Zixuan commanded lightly.

Wei Peng nodded again and again: "The villain understands, go and do it immediately." It's all prepared before, a glass of poisoned wine. ”

Wei Zixuan didn't say anything, only waved his hand gently, and when Wei Peng saw this, he immediately bowed and retreated.

After he left, Wei Zixuan sat alone in the study and fell into deep thought.

Just twelve years ago, he was still a little-known minor official in the imperial capital, planning all day long, befriending the powerful, dreaming of one day, being able to ascend to the court and live the addiction of calling for wind and rain.

Later, a young officer of the Xuanjia Legion approached him, and the two hit it off at first sight and had a good conversation. Wei Zixuan learned that this person's name was Di Xian, and he was a popular person in front of the commander Xie Guang, so he couldn't help but be even more bent and attentive. After that, Di Xian pointed out a way for him: take refuge in Lao Jianhua and ensure your success.

Wei Zixuan knew very well in his heart that he had neither a prominent background nor a background backer, and he had worked hard all his life, and it was estimated that at most he would mix the long history or main book of Taifu, and he would not have much interest. And Di Xian, and even Xie Guang and Lao Jianhua behind him, can make him reborn with a casual movement of his fingers.

So, Wei Zixuan agreed to Di Xian's invitation without hesitation, and thus became an eyeliner for Lao Jianhua in the imperial court.

Wei Zixuan didn't know how much eyeliner Lao Jianhua had planted in the court, but he knew that he must be a very successful one. There is no other reason, just because I am bold and careful enough to get things done.

Sure enough, Wei Zixuan made several contributions to Lao Jianhua in the imperial capital, and Lao Jianhua also reciprocated, and soon operated in secret, making Wei Zixuan promoted to Taifu Shaoqing and became the second person in charge of the tax treasury of the Holy Tang Dynasty.

After the imperial capital incident, the crown prince fled, and not long after, the Turks came, and Wei Zixuan fled all the way to Yizhou with the imperial court. It was not until Lao Jianhua and Di Xian gained a firm foothold in Jiangnan that they notified Wei Zixuan to go north and take refuge in Li Bing.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zixuan secretly worked for the Jiangnan rebels, and on the other hand, he used Lao Jianhua's help to please Li Bing.

I don't know when it started, Wei Zixuan, a top traitor codenamed "Wasp", came up with the idea of getting rid of Lao Jianhua. It's no wonder that he is about to become a big man under one person and above ten thousand people in the court, how can he be willing to succumb to the control of the rebels?

However, if you think about it this way, Wei Zixuan can't really do it. Because for so many years, he has too many shady handles in Lao Jianhua's hands, once the other party notices that he has a different heart, he only needs to write a letter to Li Bing, and Wei Zixuan will be finished immediately.

At that time, it was by no means that he lost his head alone, nor was it as simple as copying and beheading all over the house, Wei Zixuan's crime was to be exterminated by the Nine Clans!

Alas-

Wei Zixuan sighed, pulled his complicated thoughts back to reality, temporarily forgot the unrealistic fantasy of "getting rid of Lao Jianhua", and began to think about the new task assigned by the "master":

Invasion of pirates.
