East Plant

"Jian Fangliang was born with a different body, his heart is very different from ordinary people, he was born on the right side, and it is the first time I have seen it!" Wang Zhangban was reporting to Yuan Dongxiang, and Liu Xin was sitting under Yuan Dongxiang.

Wang Zhangban glanced at Liu Xin with some strangeness, the latter was obviously wearing a Jinyiwei fish and dragon suit (after returning to Dongchang, Liu Xin went to change into it, he was afraid that he would forget that he was Jinyiwei), but he sat calmly in the Dongchang yamen, as if he was a person from Dongchang.

What's even stranger...

Wang Zhangban glanced at Yuan Dongxiang, who had a calm face, and continued: "He is now suffering from excessive blood loss and has fallen into a coma, but there is no obstacle to his life, and he can rest for two days, but when he will wake up, I don't know." ”

"Okay, you go down and rest, the injured brothers have a good rest, and come back when the injuries are healed!" Yuan Dongxiang commanded.

Wang Zhangban answered the call and left Yuan Dongxiang's duty room.

There was silence in the room...

After a long silence, Yuan Dongxiang frowned and looked at Liu Xindao:

"Liu Baihu, have you forgotten something?"

Liu Xin looked at Yuan Dongxiang in surprise and said: "Yuan Qianhu, you can see it, I also think I forgot something, it may be a certain key to the case!" ”

Yuan Dongxiang felt a few black lines hanging from his head, and he reminded: "This is the Dongchang Yamen!" ”

Liu Xin glanced at the surrounding environment, nodded and said, "This place is a little smaller, after all, it is in the imperial city." But the decoration is quite exquisite, better than the brocade guard! ”

“...”

Yuan Dongxiang felt that he could no longer go around the bend with Liu Xin, and was about to open his mouth to drive people away, but he heard Liu Xin say.

"Yuan Qianhu, don't you want to unload the mill and kill the donkey!" Liu Xin looked at Yuan Dongxiang with burning eyes.

Yuan Dongxiang looked at Liu Xin speechlessly, sighed and said, "I'm not that kind of person, a soldier, a promise!" ”

Liu Xin's eyes were suspicious: "Then why do you always remind me that this is Dongchang, don't you want to drive me away!" ”

Yuan Dongxiang said with some embarrassment: "It's okay for you to stay here all the time, Liu Licheng should be waiting for you to report!" ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "It's okay not to say it, I don't know how to deal with this Liu Qianhu, he took away all the captains of my hundred households, and not a single soldier is left to me, now go back, I don't know how to treat me, it's better to stay in the East Factory and hide cleanly!" ”

A trace of strangeness appeared on Yuan Dongxiang's face, and he said in a strange tone: "Are you afraid of him?" ”

From Wang Zhangban's secret report, as well as the contact during these times, it is not difficult for Yuan Dongxiang to see that Liu Xin's ability is actually inconsistent with what he showed, at least in front of Liu Licheng, what he showed was only his hidden ability level.

From Liu Xin's discovery of the source of the poison, it was later found that the case may be related to the Northern Barbarians, and it was later confirmed that there was indeed a shadow of the Northern Barbarians behind the Imperial Horse Prison case.

Because of this, Lord Admiral and Yuan Dongxiang had a detailed conversation, involving the Northern Barbarians, so this case is not trivial!

also because of the escalation of the case, the Admiral directly made it clear that as long as there is merit in this case and the case goes well, the reward will not be less afterwards.

At that time, Yuan Dongxiang mentioned the existence of Liu Xin, leaving a little image of the Admiral.

In fact, the current authority of Dongchang and Jinyiwei is similar and even overlapping, but His Majesty the Emperor obviously trusts Dongchang more, because Dongchang has Mi Yusong as the commander.

And Jinyiwei has been established for too long, and there are many mountains inside, and almost all sides have tentacles stretched out in it. As a result, Jinyiwei is not unusable, but dare not use it, dare not reuse!

It is also for this reason that after the nod of His Majesty the Emperor, Mi Yusong directly put his hand into Jinyiwei, resulting in the current Jinyiwei, and the entire Nanzhen Fusi is actually Mi Yusong's subordinate.

But because Nanzhen Fusi is nominally the department that supervises the internal Jinyiwei, there is not much resistance from the top and bottom of Jinyiwei.

But gradually, Mi Yusong is ready to expand this part of the authority within Jinyiwei, which Yuan Dongxiang is clear, and has even begun to transfer some of the backbone personnel of Dongchang for Mi Yusong to be promoted at any time.

And inside Jinyiwei, Mi Yusong also paid attention to the people on the side of Nanzhen Fusi, and poached people at any time.

And Liu Xin is more like a person who took the initiative to throw himself into the arms of Yuan Dongxiang, after this period of contact, Yuan Dongxiang believes that Liu Xin meets the requirements of the selection, but it still needs to be observed.

After all, Liu Xin is from outside, and it has only been a few days since Liu Xin came to the imperial capital.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Xin opened his mouth to interrupt Yuan Dongxiang's thoughts.

Liu Xin said: "Yuan Qianhu, I just suddenly remembered something. ”

As he spoke, Liu Xin took out a stack of letters from his arms and handed them to Yuan Dongxiang.

Yuan Dongxiang asked suspiciously, "This is?" ”

Liu Xindao: "This is the contact letterhead between Gui Qinchen and Gui Wanqiu, there are not many, only four!" I've been wondering why Gui Wanqiu became the target of the Northern Barbarians' assassination, and it seems imperative to directly dispatch the strongest force that the Northern Barbarians have shown in the imperial capital! ”

Yuan Dongxiang's expression was immediately solemn when he heard this, he looked at the letterhead in his hand, and then seemed to remember something, raised his head and asked, "The one who saved Gui Wanqiu that day, in addition to you, there is also a monk and a Taoist priest?" ”

Liu Xin nodded and said, "That's right, that monk and Taoist priest are not shallow!" ”

Yuan Dongxiang nodded, the giant-like guy in the Northern Barbarians was already a peak existence, and he and Liu Licheng could only be undefeated when they joined forces, and the latter obviously did not go all out.

A monk and a Taoist priest, if their cultivation is not shallow, they should come from those famous mountains that steal Buddhism and two religions.

This is a very unusual signal, the monk can say that today's Zhengyang is still more tolerant of Buddhism, after all, in the original battle for the restoration of the country, Buddhism contributed a lot. The masters of the Buddhist Sect dispatched several top powerhouses to help deal with many masters of the Northern Barbarian Heavenly Kingdom.

But Taoism has been unknown for hundreds of years, and the reason is simple, the former Zhengyang State Religion was Taoism. Although Zhengyang is still Zhengyang, but the two sides are not the same bloodline, although they are both An clans, but after all, they are two ancestors, I am now the emperor, and your lineage has been destroyed, and you are not qualified to appear.

So the previous state religion, Taoism, is not accepted by the current royal family, after all, the essence of Taoism and Buddhism is similar, and there is only one family.

In the past hundred years of Taoism, there have only been a few famous Taoist priests who have entered the ranks.

Now there is a Taoist priest who has cultivated well in the imperial capital, is this another Taoist master, or does it indicate that Taoism will come back again?

Distracting thoughts flashed, the matter of the Taoist Buddha is not related to Yuan Dongxiang, he just needs not to omit it when he reports to Mi Yusong, but what really matters is the letterhead in his hand.

The reason why the Northern Barbarians want to exterminate must be related clues about the Imperial Horse Prison case.

Now Jian Fangliang is still in a coma, and the only clue may be in these letterheads.

So Yuan Dongxiang no longer hesitated and opened the letterhead.

There are four letters in total, and the first one has the most words, expressing thoughts that have not been connected for several years, and most of them are greetings.

Like how are you, have you eaten, have you eaten well, and so on.

The second and third letters are the exchange of some situations between the two sides, and there is one thing that Yuan Dongxiang is more concerned about, that is, Gui Wanqiu mentioned the Blue Coat Society in his letterhead, and he knows about this underworld organization in the imperial capital. He even knew the relationship between the president of the Blue Coat Society and the Duke of Jiangyin.

But what Jiangyin Justice is planning is just a struggle for power by the military, which is not a bad thing for Dongchang, and it is a good thing for the emperor.

Therefore, Dongchang is only concerned about this underworld organization.

When he saw the fourth letter, Yuan Dongxiang's brows involuntarily frowned slightly, although Liu Xin had read the letterhead, he didn't see anything. After all, he hadn't been in the imperial capital for a long time, and he didn't know a lot of things, let alone have time to chat with Senior Brother Cheng, so Yuan Dongxiang could see something, and he was not surprised.

"I see!" Yuan Dongxiang suddenly shook his spirit, stood up, and his face was unusually excited.

Liu Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you see?" ”

Yuan Dongxiang glanced at Liu Xindao: "You should have read these letterheads." ”

Liu Xin nodded calmly.

Yuan Dongxiang continued to ask: "Didn't you see anything?" ”

Liu Xin continued to nod.

Yuan Dongxiang smiled and said, "Normal! ”

What do you mean?

Liu Xin looked at Yuan Dongxiang puzzled, and the latter's smile had a hint of smugness.

Why be proud! I don't understand what you mean by that smile?

Fortunately, Yuan Dongxiang didn't mean to lose his appetite, he handed the fourth letter to Liu Xin, and said: "Gui Wanqiu is the shopkeeper of the Shuntian Gambling House, and he can be regarded as half a person in the underworld. ”

"Yuan Qianhu, you are outdated, Gui Wanqiu is now a complete underworld person!" Liu Xin suddenly interjected, he didn't read the letterhead, because he did, he didn't see anything, it was normal communication, the kind between brothers and sisters.

Yuan Dongxiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Xin with a puzzled gaze.

Liu Xin suddenly smiled, his expression was exactly the same as Yuan Dongxiang before, with a hint of cheapness, a hint of pride, he paused, gave Yuan Dongxiang time to feel his smile, and then continued: "Because Gui Wanqiu has joined the Blue Coat Club and become the vice president!" ”

Yuan Dongxiang had a black line on his face, and he was silent for a long time before asking, "When did it happen?" ”

He didn't even know about Gui Wanqiu's joining the Blue Coat Club.

Liu Xin said with a smile: "She joined the Blue Coat Club yesterday, after the attack. You didn't get the news because it was late at night when she joined the Blue Coat Society as vice president, and there was a curfew behind her. I'll come as soon as the curfew is over, and even if Dongchang receives the news, I haven't had time to report it to you, after all, it's just a trivial matter. ”

The corners of Yuan Dongxiang's mouth twitched, Liu Xin, this guy was deliberately taking revenge, his smug smile made him unhappy, and he actually found a way to report it back on the spot.

"It's really just a small thing!"

Ending the boring farce, Yuan Dongxiang continued: "There are many small methods in the underworld, among which there are some ways of writing secret letters that ordinary people don't know. This fourth letter contains a passage written in secret letters. ”

Liu Xinyan picked up the letterhead again and read it carefully, but still didn't find it.

Yuan Dongxiang saw Liu Xin's confused look, and his heart was immediately satisfied, and he explained: "Gui Qinchen's secret letter hides a passage, which means that he learned from the communication between the Wenchen and Fan An who contacted him that they didn't have all the things they wanted. If you want to get a set of things, you may have to go somewhere else. ”

After a pause, Yuan Dongxiang glanced at the west and said, "Wenchen should be Jian Fangliang." And that place is the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm! ”

Liu Xin frowned, and said suspiciously: "What you want should be the secret technique of raising horses, right?" ”

Yuan Dongxiang nodded and said: "That's right, the eight eunuchs who raise horses are all from the Imperial Horse Sect, but each of them has a different division of labor, and each of them has a part of the secret art. I now feel that not all of the eight horse eunuchs are willing to cooperate with Jian Fangliang. After all, His Majesty the Emperor had promised that as long as the secret technique of raising horses was successful, he would let them go. ”

"I guess it's difficult!" Liu Xin interjected.

Yuan Dongxiang ignored Liu Xin and continued: "Under this premise, some people may take risks for money or other interests, but I estimate that not everyone is like this, such as Gui Qinchen, who has practiced hard for more than ten years and cultivated the martial arts cultivation of the Dacheng Realm, which seems to be for freedom. This can be clearly felt from the correspondence between him and Gui Wanqiu. Fan An may have been the bridge of communication between Jian Fangliang and the remaining seven horse-raising eunuchs. ”

Standing and talking was a little tiring, the key was that Liu Xin was sitting, Yuan Dongxiang felt that he had suffered a loss, so he also sat down, and then continued: "If it is written according to Gui Qinchen's secret letter, Jian Fangliang may not have obtained all the secret art parts. And this part of the content may be in the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm. ”

"What is the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm?" Liu Xin asked if he didn't understand.

Yuan Dongxiang shook his head and said, "I only know that the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm is the largest military horse farm in Zhengyang Army, and there are more than 10,000 qualified war horses for the military every year. Perhaps the secret technique of raising horses is close to success, and it has been sent to the Hanzhong Military Horse Farm for large-scale experiments! I'm going to check this with the Admiral! ”

Liu Xin nodded, maybe that's the case.

There was silence in the room again

After a long time, Yuan Dongxiang stood up and said, "Liu Baihu, if there is nothing else, please feel free." I've got to go and see the Admiral! ”

Liu Xin looked at the sky outside and asked, Yuan Dongxiang's face suddenly collapsed.

"It's not early, Dongchang will take care of the food, I'll leave after eating!"

——

In the evening of the same day, after getting off duty, after a day of wandering, Liu Xin, who was absent from work, met Senior Brother Cheng who had just returned from duty after a hard day's work.

"Where have you been all day?" Senior Brother Cheng asked: "Do you know that Yuan Dongxiang sent people to look for you several times, it seems that there is an emergency, and a few days ago he tried to stay in Jinyiwei, what is wrong with this, I don't want to do it anymore?" ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "I'm hugging my thighs, if I hug them, Senior Brother Cheng will wait to eat and drink spicy food with me!" ”

"You're thinking about fart!" Senior Brother Cheng suddenly burst into a rude remark: "Didn't you just catch up with Dongchang Yuan Dongxiang." ”

"Hey, hey!" Liu Xin smiled and took Senior Brother Cheng's hand and entered the Liu Mansion together.

"Senior Brother Cheng, I call it good to accept it, I have thighs to hug, why don't you hug!"

Senior Brother Cheng took a sip and said, "You have become a eunuch, it's not good!" ”

"Senior Brother Cheng, I think you're jealous of me!"

"Why!"

"The admiral of the East Factory is Mi Yusong, that's the grandmaster! Under the sect master, who dares to say that it is a eunuch! ”

"Humph!"

"Is Liu Licheng angry with you today!"

"It's good to know!"

"Eliminate your anger, you got a little bit of information today, let's talk while eating?"

"What's wrong?"

"The case of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is almost over!"

"Really?"

"Seriously! Come on, let's talk about it! ”

——

As night fell, close to the curfew, pedestrians began their last sprint on the streets of the outer city, rushing back to their old houses before the street drums sounded.

But there are always people who have the privilege of being able to walk the streets after the curfew.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu Shao Shiwang is one of them.

Shao Shiwang was in a good mood today, because the account books of the gambling house had been sent to his case, and he could extract a lot of money from it if he overfulfilled the task.

Therefore, after the next duty, he called a few henchmen to gather in the famous flower building and Mingyue Xiaolou in the outer city.

In the imperial capital, there are four major flower buildings famous all over the world, one of them is called Huaiying Pavilion, the second is called Wangkong Terrace, the third is called Mingyue Xiaolou, and the fourth is called Magpie Pavilion.

The four flower buildings are in the same spirit, and I heard that they are all the same big boss behind the scenes.

Because of its fame and hard background, the four major flower buildings never leave anyone to stay overnight, unless it is the Oiran among them who takes the initiative.

However, the competition in the flower field is not only about official positions, but also about appearance, financial resources, talents, and so on.

Therefore, Shao Shiwang was not lucky enough to be appreciated by a certain Oiran, so he could only leave the Mingyue Building before curfew.

Shao Shiwang, who had drunk a lot of wine, was a little dizzy and was dozing in the sedan chair.

Suddenly

Shao Shiwang opened his eyes, his originally blurred eyes suddenly woke up, and then he slammed forward, the car made a pop, and a feather arrow pierced the car, penetrated the body of a sedan chair driver in front, and finally plunged deep into the ground!

Shao Shiwang suddenly threw himself out of the sedan curtain, turned over, and glanced at the arrow feathers that were still shaking, his eyes were calm.

He was assassinated in the Imperial Capital!

He has a knighthood and can set up his own escort team, but his knighthood is relatively low, and the number of escorts cannot exceed forty-eight, and only six people follow him at this time.

After all, there are as many counts as dogs in the imperial capital, and the marquis walks all over the ground, everyone must keep a low profile, otherwise what should others do if they look at you as an eyesore.

Although there are only six guards, the strength of these six people is first-class.

The Jinyi guard is public, the escort team is his own, of course Shao Shiwang spends more on his own family, not only money, but more energy!

Shao Shiwang once spent a lot of money to obtain a combined attack technique, six people is the minimum number of requirements, and the combination of six people can improve combat power.

Shao Shiwang himself tried, he could deal with the combined attack of six people, and he was barely undefeated under the combined attack of twelve people, but when he encountered the combined attack of twenty-four people, that is, the highest configuration of this combined attack method, he couldn't survive thirty moves.

The combination of six people is comparable to the peak of Xiaocheng!

And because it is six people, the staying power is far better than one.
