"You mean Jinyiwei?"

Xu Zhun smiled bitterly: "I know that you and that Yan Jun Baihu used to have dealings when they were in Chengdu Mansion, but after all, this is a matter of life and death, and even parents and brothers may not be reliable, let alone friends who only have some shallow incense love." ”

Xu Zhun pursed his lips, "And to put it mildly, the relationship between Confucian order and martial order is quite delicate. When the world was divided, although Confucian Xuan did not do it directly, he did not do less things behind his back, and even most of the final benefits were taken into his arms by Confucian Xu, and he stepped on Wu Xu's corpse and became the first of the three religions. ”

"Even if Confucianism deliberately left a way for the remaining Wuxu people to survive in order to prevent the two families of Buddhism and Taoism from living too peacefully, this kind of hypocritical trick can't hide from the discerning people."

Xu Zhun paused for a moment, and said with a solemn expression: "Especially the thousand households of Jinyiwei in the Japanese District now, Su Ce." I heard that there are rumors within Jinyiwei that Su Ce has made up his mind to list Yan Jun as his successor. In case"

"In case Su Ce still harbors hatred for Confucian Order in his heart, then even if Yan Jun wants to help us, he will be jealous of this and dare not act rashly."

Yang Baize asked, "Elder Xu, that's what you mean, right?" ”

Xu Zhun nodded: "It seems that your lord has thought of it a long time ago, but the lower officials are too talkative." ”

"Old Xu, you treat me as your own nephew, so you will say these heartfelt words to me. I'm very clear about that. ”

Yang Baize's face was calm and said, "But I believe that Su Qianhu is not that kind of person, and neither is Yan Jun." ”

"I don't want to speculate about others for no reason, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs!"

"I don't need to look at their hearts, because I don't trust their character, but their temper."

Yang Baize waved his hand and laughed, and a high-spirited look appeared on his delicate and handsome face.

"If they really have hatred for Confucianism in their hearts, they will never vent it on me and you, but with swords and swords, they will go over the mountains and seas, find those gatekeepers who hurt the sect Wuxu behind their backs, cut their throats, behead them, cut off their inheritance, cut off their genes, have grievances and revenge! This is what Su Ce and Yan Jun will do. ”

The towering old Xu Zhun was rushed by this flying youth, and seemed to have some more serious thoughts in his heart, and immediately said: "Even if the two of them love and hate clearly, then why should they help us?" Don't forget, my lord, that when the time comes, it will not be the Honghu rebels hiding in the mud, but the towering Imperial Gate Lords! This is not within the scope of their duties. ”

The old official Xu Zhun wanted to use the cold reality that he had learned for decades to awaken the innocence of the young Yang Baize.

"If there is nothing beneficial, why should others help us with their lives?"

Xu Zhun said coldly: "Gambling your net worth and life on other people's righteousness, I believe that Pei Gong is not willing to see you take such a risk." ”

"That's what the teacher meant, too."

Xu Zhun's expression was suddenly suffocated when he heard this, and before he could recover from the shock, he heard Yang Baize continue: "And who said that there is no benefit? ”

"What's in it for you?"

"You don't have to worry about this when you're old, it must be what we need and want the most in the hundreds of households in Inuyama City. Friendship is bone, interest is meat, as long as we send things to him, he will definitely not hesitate to carry the embroidered spring knife to help us block the dark arrows shot from other big cities. ”

Yang Baize did not say it directly, but sold it.

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, I'm not going to talk nonsense."

"You're not talking nonsense, you're talking a lot. Your earnest teachings, Yang Baize remembered. ”

The young man looked solemn and bowed to the old official.

Xu Zhun was gray-haired, but his movements were extremely dexterous, he turned sideways to let go of Yang Baize's disciple salute, raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and said with a heroic smile: "But even if the Inuyama City Jinyi Guard really dies in the end, this old bone of Xia Guan still weighs a few catties, and it shouldn't be too difficult to escort you out of the Japanese area." ”

"Of course."

Yang Baize quipped: "I heard the teacher say before, when you were young, Xu Lao, your temper was not inferior to Wu Xu. once held a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, and fought all the way from the east end of Confucius Temple Street in the capital to the west end, and packed up those disciples who held their own identities and obeyed them. ”

"Pei Gong bragged, I don't have the ability to really break through a street." Xu Zhun waved his hand: "At most, it can be counted as half a piece." ”

Yang Baize took over the conversation: "That's because the knife has been cut and the bullets have run out." ”

An old man and a young man looked at each other and laughed heartily at the same time.

The depression that had accumulated in Xu Zhun's heart before also disappeared.

At this moment, Xu Zhun vaguely understood why Pei Xingjian took such a fancy to Yang Baize, and tried his best to send the other party to the Japanese District to take up a post, and sent himself to assist him.

Xu Zhun secretly said in his heart: "Maybe the genes that are about to be locked in my body can continue for a few more years in this new deal."

"That's right."

Xu Zhun suddenly remembered a piece of news that he had just learned: "My lord, the latest news from the palace newspaper said that the two Honghu leaders who organized and participated in the 'Edo Rebellion', Chu Ke and Mizumura Goto, have been killed by Jinyiwei, and only one Huai Guo and the criminal leader Kamakura are still on the run, and I believe that it will not be long before they will be arrested one after another." ”

"I don't think Jinyiwei will continue to waste energy on this matter."

Yang Baize pondered for a moment: "On the one hand, Chu Ke's support has already startled the snake, and it will be very difficult to find the remaining Honghu. On the other hand, this so-called Kamakura King is obviously just a layer of skin, and it doesn't matter if you kill or not. ”

"A layer of skin?" Xu Zhun's brows suddenly furrowed.

"That's right."

Yang Baize nodded: "After the Edo Rebellion, I immediately checked all the records of the Xuanfu envoy about the Honghu Kamakura King, and I found that the frequency of this Honghu prince's activities in the Wa District is actually not high, and he has never committed any amazing crimes, and he is much more low-key than another Heian King." ”

"It wasn't until after New Year's Day this year, when the empire began to implement a new policy, that he suddenly became high-profile and constantly led people to attack big cities everywhere."

Xu Zhun was puzzled: "What's strange about this, the threat of the new deal to Honghu is also very great, once the Confucian order is popularized, it will be very difficult for them to incite the ordinary people." Therefore, it is reasonable that he would want to hinder the implementation of the New Deal. ”

"This is reasonable, but in the repeated arrests, Jinyiwei has not collected any valuable content about the identity of the Kamakura King from the minds of those who have been arrested, and even so far, we can't even be sure whether the other party is a man or a woman, which is a bit abnormal."

Xu Zhun suddenly understood what Yang Baize's suspicions were.

Honghu is good at hiding, which is a recognized fact in the entire Ming Empire.

But no matter how strong a person's hidden skills are, as long as they participate in the development of personnel or organizational actions, they will inevitably leave some traces.

There is not a lot of information about the King of Kamakura within the Jinyi Guard, and it can even be said that there is a lot, but these traces are simply varied, men and women, and there are all kinds of sequences.

"This shows that either we and Nishiki are extremely incompetent and have not been able to find out the true identity of the King of Kamakura from these tricks. Either this so-called Kamakura King is just a name, not an exact figure at all. ”

Yang Baize said in a deep voice: "I don't think that in such a small area as the Wa District, there is a Honghu King who can exist for so many years, and he can still do it without leaking any horses' feet, the only possibility is that the King of Kamakura is just a layer of skin, send a person to wear it when it is used, and kill the person when it is used up, erasing all traces." When you need to use it again next time, you will change someone to be the king of Kamakura, and the cycle will go on and on! ”
