Lai Junchen is an extremely shrewd person, of course, he can hear the overtones in Mr. Ming's words, he nodded lightly and said: "I have never had a chance to explain, in fact, I found that Wan Guojun and Wu Furong colluded, he leaked my plan to leave Chengdu to Wu Furong, at that time, in order to ensure Yang Pei's safety, I had to kill Wan Guojun, although this is the next policy, but the situation was critical at that time, I can only choose this way." ”

Wan Guojun was replaced by Wu Furong as the deputy commander of the internal guard, and he has always hated her to the core, where will he leak secrets to her, but what Mr. Ming wants is just a reason, he smiled slightly: "If this is the case, then I believe that the prince must be able to understand." ”

Wan Guojun died for Wu Sansi to steal information, and was betrayed by Qingpiaopiao in the end, if he knew underground, he didn't know how he would feel?

The two laughed tacitly, and Lai Junchen also breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to go against Wu Sansi, he still hoped to get Wu Sansi's support.

At this time, Mr. Ming took out a gold medal from his arms, put it on the table, pushed it to Lai Junchen, and said with a smile: "I think this gold medal will have some effect on Lai Zhongcheng." ”

Lai Junchen was stunned, he slowly picked up the gold medal, looked left and right, his hands trembled, this is one of the three items that the saint said: Li Yuanjia's Xingtang Club gold medal, is there a list of oaths and letters?

Mr. Ming understood what he meant, and said apologetically: "There is only this gold medal, and this is just today." ”

He briefly said about the gold medal sent by Zhuang Wenzhong, and finally said: "Although Zhuang Wenzhong is the person of His Royal Highness King Liang, for the sake of the overall situation, His Royal Highness King Liang still decided to hand him over to Lai Zhongcheng, hoping to treat him as politely as possible, if there is something really unavoidable, His Royal Highness King Liang can also understand." ”

Lai Junchen was overjoyed, with the gold medal and Zhuang Wenzhong, he had a breakthrough, he hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Mr. Ming, "Please Mr. Ming to tell His Royal Highness King Liang, Lai Junchen will remember his kindness." ”

Mr. Ming squinted and smiled, "Okay, if Mr. Ming has any needs for us, please just put it bluntly, and His Royal Highness King Liang will definitely do his best to help."

Lai Junchen sent Mr. Ming away, he came to the room with his hands and paced back and forth, thinking about the next countermeasure, it was obvious that since Zhuang Wenzhong could get the gold medal of the Xingtang Society from Li Xun丨, then the affidavit and the correspondence would not be hidden elsewhere, they must have been obtained by Li Zhen, where would Li Zhen put them?

Thinking of this, Lai Junchen walked to the door and ordered: "Let Suo Wen come to see me"

After a short time, Suo Wen came in a hurry, he has now been promoted to the deputy leader of the black warriors under Lai Junchen, and his brother Suo Ying has also been reused by Lai Junchen, responsible for managing Luming Villa for Lai Junchen.

"See Zhongcheng for lowly duties"

Lai Junchen glanced back at him and said with a smile: "I remember you told me that you have a good relationship with Li Zhen's subordinates?"

Suo Wen didn't know why Lai Junchen asked about this, he was a little uneasy in his heart, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Everyone is a fellow villager, and they had a good relationship when they were in Dunhuang, like Li Pan, Zhang Li and Beizhi are all world friends. ”

"In that case, I want you to have a relationship with a few more fellow villagers in the world, and I need to get a little bit of information from them. ”

After a pause, Lai Junchen said again: "I still have a few things for you to do, and you must do your best to do it for me."

"Humble ...... Yes"

Li Zhen met Li Chengqi two days ago, and gave him the letters between Li Dan and Li Yuanjia, and also handed over some of the letters of the royal family to Li Chengqi, he said frankly to Li Chengqi that the oath list had been given to Li Xian, Li Chengqi was not surprised by this, his father said that the oath Li Zhen would definitely give it to his brother, after all, there was a Shangguan Wan'er.

In addition to returning the letters to the original owner one by one, Li Zhen sent people to Yangzhou to find Zhuang Wenzhong to inquire about the whereabouts of the gold medal.

For several days, Li Zhen was busy recruiting new internal guards, fifty new samurai were basically recruited, and the reorganization of internal guards went quite smoothly.

In addition, the original three internal guard captains under Wu Furong have also been transferred, and the military department agreed to Li Zhen's recommendation, and appointed Jiuzhi, Pei Kuan, Zhang Ran, and Li Pan as the new captains, so that Changshi and the eight captains are all Li Zhen's henchmen, and he firmly controls the internal guards in his own hands.

On this morning, Li Zhen specially went to the Internal Guard and External Affairs Department an hour in advance, although after the abolition of the left and right deputy commanders, there was no need for the Internal Guard and External Affairs Department to exist, but considering the particularity of the internal guard, it was still necessary for the External Department to exist, as a dormitory and rest meeting place for the samurai.

Li Zhen urged the horse to walk slowly on the Tianjin Bridge, at this time, a carriage came from the opposite side, more than a dozen guards rode horses to protect the surroundings, Li Zhen also slowed down the horse, he turned over and dismounted and stood aside, at this time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of him, and the curtain opened, revealing the slightly fleshy face of Princess Taiping.

"Commander Li, congratulations on being promoted"

"Thank you princess for your kind words, and thank you princess for your tolerance"

Li Zhen's tolerance means that Princess Taiping happily handed over the power of internal security, and did not embarrass him in the slightest, so that he could successfully complete the rectification and reorganization, otherwise as long as Princess Taiping gave a hint, the Ministry of War might not approve his plan, and Li Zhen was indeed quite grateful in his heart.

"You don't have to be thankful, it's your deserved reward. Princess Taiping squinted and smiled, with a hint of suggestion in her eyes.

Li Zhen understood what she meant, he quickly took out four letters from his arms and presented them to Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping took the letters and looked at them, sure enough, they were the four letters she wrote to Li Yuanjia, she immediately tore the four letters to shreds, gently threw the crumbs into a box, and put down a heart.

She said lightly to Li Zhen again: "Since you refuse to accept my gift, then I will tell you another news, Li Yuanjia's gold medal has fallen into the hands of Wu Sansi, but last night, Mr. Ming visited Lai Junchen, I think you should know Zhuang Wenzhong, he has been sent to Lai Junchen's Luming Villa, so let's say that Lai Junchen and Wu Sansi have begun to work behind your back, if you need help, I will be happy to help you." ”

After speaking, she commanded, "Go"

The carriage started slowly, and continued to drive towards the end gate of the imperial city, Li Zhen stood on the Tianjin Bridge, looking at Princess Taiping's carriage in the distance, his heart was in chaos, Princess Taiping brought him bad news, the gold medal had fallen into the hands of Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen, since Princess Taiping knew Zhuang Wenzhong, then she was not deceiving herself.

Because Li Zhen also knew that the piece of gold was very likely to be in Zhuang Wenzhong's hands, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen.

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, he turned over and got on his horse, urging the horse to go to Gao Yanfu's mansion

At noon, Gao Yanfu went back to the mansion for a lunch break as usual, and as soon as he entered the mansion, the housekeeper stepped forward to report: "Master, Commander Li is here, and he has been waiting in the Guike Hall for more than half an hour. ”

"Oh-"

Gao Yanfu was not surprised, nodded and said, "Please invite him to my study." ”

Gao Yanfu returned to the study, and just changed into a piece of clothing, there was a knock from the butler at the door, "Master, Commander Li has brought it." ”

"Please come in"

The door opened, Li Zhen walked in quickly, bowed and saluted: "Juniors participate in the palace"

"You're welcome, please be seated"

Gao Yanfu smiled and asked Li Zhen to sit down, and asked the housekeeper to bring some wine and food, he sat down and said with a smile: "If you haven't had lunch, then accompany me for a drink." ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, and after a while, the housekeeper brought wine and food, Gao Yanfu poured Li Zhen a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Promotion, this is a good thing, why are you not happy?"

Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "Fujun, the saint clearly gave me a reward, but secretly asked Junchen to investigate me, and I was really in a bad mood." ”

"Why does the Holy Lord want to investigate you?" Gao Yanfu said with a resolute smile.

"Because—"

Li Zhen sighed, "Because there are three things missing from the list I gave her, the list of oaths, correspondence and Li Yuanjia's gold medal, the saint probably thinks I'm deceiving her."

Gao Yanfu laughed, "The Holy Lord is an unprecedented female emperor, her thunderbolt methods have been remembered by many ministers for the rest of their lives, if she thinks that you are deceiving her, she will kill you on the spot, and she will never give you a promotion and knighthood, and you will not have a chance to sit in front of you." ”

"But...... I'm really deceiving her, and even the Shangguan Sheren can hear it, so the saint may not know?"

"You still don't understand what I mean, if the saint doesn't want those three things at all, or if her original intention was for you to destroy the oath list, and you said you didn't find out, she knows it, is this a deception to her?"

"Fujun, I'm still a little confused, even if I destroy the oath list, I should tell her the truth, so it's not called deception. ”

Gao Yanfu waved his hand lightly, "You really don't understand the emperor's heart, in fact, I told you before that the most powerful opponent in her life is not the person who opposes her, but herself, I know this is difficult to understand, but don't worry, she doesn't think you're deceiving her, don't think too much." ”

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, Gao Yanfu is Wu Zetian's confidant eunuch, he can say this, there must be his reason, although it is a bit unbelievable, but Li Zhen believes that Gao Yanfu is really helping himself, which is different from Shangguan Wan'er.

Coming out of Gao Yanfu's mansion, Li Zhen came to the Internal Health and External Affairs Department located in Quanshanfang, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw the fat man Jiuzhi rushing over like a gust of wind, "Lao Li, go back quickly, something seems to have happened to your family." ”

Li Zhen was startled and said hurriedly: "What happened to my eldest sister?"

Jiuzhi scratched his head, "Your sister is fine, but she just asked her family to come to you and tell you to go back immediately." ”

Hearing that the eldest sister was fine, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the eldest sister didn't have an accident, it would not be a big problem, and he immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards Fushanfang.
