Chapter 157: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
"Miss, it's great that you're okay. ”
The people in the alley are the big men who have just come out of the house. Of course, there are also Guiming, Yu Zhong and Ran Xu'er. What's going on here?
It turned out that the three of them had been waiting near the house for a long time, and the people in the courtyard came out and cut off one by one, except for Li Tianyan.
Gui Ming explained the ins and outs of the matter to everyone clearly, and everyone was indignant, no one expected that there would be a mole among them.
"After all, he is a general who has followed his father for many years, I think if he didn't have a hard time, he wouldn't have chosen this path, right?" Ran Xu'er had a kind heart, and wanted to excuse Li Tianyan.
"I understand what Miss Su'er means. Since we had agreed to meet again in two days, I thought it would be a good opportunity to test him. Yu Zhong said.
If Li Tianyan is obsessed, he will definitely report the news of everyone's meeting to the people behind the scenes in two days, how could they miss such an opportunity.
Now the most important thing is to quickly arrange a new place for everyone to go, since the identity has been exposed, it is obviously not safe to stay in the original residence.
"Our family has an old house in Nancheng, no one has lived in it for many years, and no one knows about it, so it's better for everyone to go there to live temporarily. Gui Ming said.
Everyone applauded. After settling everyone down, Gui Ming also hurried back.
At this time, it was already late at night, and Shi Yan, who was in the same room, was already snoring like thunder.
Early the next morning, Chen An came, and he really brought the latest news.
"Brother Hu, yesterday you went out to step on something, how is the situation. Chen An asked.
"Strange to say, yesterday I went to a few of the addresses on this list and didn't see the target. "Guiming replied. Everyone was in a secret meeting last night, and of course no one was visible. He also wanted to give it a try and see if Chen An knew about it.
I saw Chen An smile and said: "According to the news that the Lord got it, they had a secret meeting last night, and it is normal that you can't find anyone." ”
Obviously, Li Tianyan betrayed everyone, and there is no doubt about it.
"Your Excellency has a new arrangement, these men will meet in secret at this address the day after tomorrow, and our men have left a mark at the door, and when the time comes, you two will go and hunt them down, and our men will be in charge of you both. Chen An took out a note, and what was written on it was the address of the secret meeting.
The "our people" he said was Li Tianyan.
"How will we cooperate then?" asked Gui Ming.
Chen An clapped his hands, and a person came in from outside the house.
"This is General Li, and the information will be provided by him, and he will cooperate with you the day after tomorrow. Chen An introduced.
Gui Ming quietly greeted a few words on the surface, but he actually kept scolding this traitor in his heart.
"There are a lot of people on the other side, and there are only three of us, so will we be a little weaker? Shi Yan asked.
"Don't worry, the day after tomorrow, I will put soft tendon powder in everyone's tea, so that they can't use internal force for an hour, and we can easily get it. Li Tianyan said.
I didn't expect him to be so vicious to his comrades, and in vain Ran Su'er exonerated him last night, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in Gui Ming's eyes.
However, Chen An arranged it this way, which shows that the people behind the scenes have limited trust in Li Tianyan, otherwise there is no need for Guiming and Shi Yan to make another move.
Sure enough, after Li Tianyan left, Chen An pulled Gui Ming aside and whispered.
"Brother Hu has never forgotten my life-saving grace. After this is done, you will officially be counted as the Lord's person, and I will take you to the Lord when the time comes. Chen An said.
"What about Brother Shi Yan and General Li?" asked Gui Ming.
"Shi Yan will be arranged by you in the future, as for this Li Tianyan, hum, it is useless. Chen An made a killing move.
This matter is just as Guiming intended, he had a plan to save everyone, but the existence of Li Tianyan would hinder him. Since Chen An said that he could be killed, he could just push the boat along the water.
On the other side, Yu Zhong secretly took Ran Su'er to the Zhongjing Mansion.
He didn't know any high-ranking officials in Beijing, and since even Dali Temple didn't accept Ran Xu'er's case, the only person Yu Zhong could think of was Yin Hua Ren'an of Zhongjing Mansion.
Yu Zhong contacted him a few times and felt that Hua Ren'an was different from other officials, and should be a trustworthy person.
Hua Ren'an met with them in the internal office, and patiently listened to Ran Su'er explain the facts of the case.
"I didn't expect that in today's prosperous world, there is such a deceptive behavior, which is really bearable, which is unbearable. Hua Ren'an was furious.
"Your Majesty is angry. Yu Zhong hurriedly persuaded.
"I've also heard about Commander Ran, I already had doubts, but it's not within my duties, and I don't want to say much, since Miss Su'er has sued me today, this official must find out the case. Hua Renan said.
Hearing his words, Ran Su'er bowed, and was reluctant to get up for a long time.
"Don't be polite, girl, the responsibility of the border army is heavier than Mount Tai, and the peace of the country is all tied to one. If this matter is not investigated, it will not only chill the hearts of the soldiers of the border army, but also the officials will be ashamed of the people and the court. Hua Ren'an hurriedly helped Ran Su'er up.
With Hua Ren'an's help, the hope of clarifying this case has greatly increased. Yu Zhong recounted the current progress of the matter, because the plan after this inevitably requires the participation of the Zhongjing government.
"Fortune telling, fortune telling, Mai Shenxiang, maybe you don't want money. ”
A familiar voice came in from outside the compound, and Gui Ming knew it was Yu Zhong when he heard it.
"Fortune teller, come and show me palmistry. Gui Ming opened the courtyard door and shouted outside.
I saw Yu Chong's face covered with dog skin plaster, deliberately dressed as a little old man, wearing a coarse cloth tattered clothes, holding a banner, and looking like a charlatan.
Gui Ming held back a smile and stretched out his right hand, pretending to let him look at it.
"Oh, little brother, your palmistry is good, the future will be rich and noble, with a group of wives and concubines, I think you can marry eight wives in your life. Yu Zhong said nonsense.
Hearing his nonsense, the people in the courtyard couldn't help laughing.
"Well, you're right, it's your reward. Gui Ming took out a piece of silver, accompanied by a note, and handed it to Yu Zhong.
Yu Zhong hurriedly left the compound, turned to a secluded alley, opened the note and saw that there were four words written on it: "Be careful of poisoning." ”
Next, until the time of the action, Gui Ming didn't plan to go out, first, he was suspicious, and second, he also had enough trust in Yu Chong, believing that he could arrange everything.
The day of action soon came, and a crescent moon hung in the air, and that little bit of brilliance was tightly obscured by thick clouds.
Gui Ming and Shi Yan came to the designated place according to the plan. At this time, it was obvious that everyone in the courtyard had arrived, and the candlelight inside was flickering, and the flames of conspiracy were flickering.
"After all, the people in this house don't have a deep grudge against us, and it's always a little unbearable to take their lives like this. "Shi Yan has always just wanted to make a living and earn some money to support his family, who would have thought that he would really take people's lives now, and he was still a little hesitant.
"Brother Shi, do you believe me?" Gui Ming smiled a little slyly.
"Brother Hu, do you have any ideas again? You have always had a lot of ghost ideas. Shi Yan asked.
"Killing tonight is to kill, but who is killed is not necessarily. Gui Ming muttered to himself.
At this time, the door of the house suddenly opened, and a sneaky figure came out of it, it was Li Tianyan. I saw him wave his hand in the direction where the two of them were, indicating that he had succeeded.
The two jumped into the courtyard one by one, and broke down the door.
When everyone in the house saw that it was Guiming, they all knew it in their hearts.
"Lao Li, what are you doing here?" Seeing Li Tianyan holding the blade, everyone asked.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be charged with rebellion with you, so I have to give you a ride in person. Li Tianyan said.
But he didn't have long to be complacent, when he saw a cold light flash, and blood splattered everywhere. It was not the people in front of him who fell, but himself.
Li Tianyan's eyes were frightened, he looked at Guiming in front of him with an expression of disbelief, squeezed out a strange sound from his throat, and slowly fell down.
Seeing the sudden scene in front of him, Shi Yan was also shocked. Although he really didn't want to hurt people's lives, he didn't expect Guiming to kill Li Tianyan with a sudden move.
"Are you all right?" Gui Ming asked.
It turned out that after everyone knew the news revealed by Guiming, they did not drink the poisoned tea, and they were all safe and sound.
Seeing Shi Yan's dazed face, Gui Ming knew that he couldn't hide it from him at this time, so he explained everything to him instead.
"It turns out that there are so many inside stories about this matter, in fact, Brother Hu, you should have told me a long time ago, and I can also help. Seeing that there was no need to hurt the innocent, Shi Yan's heart suddenly disappeared, and he immediately said that he would help Guiming carry out his plans after this.
"Leave it to me here, everyone leave first. Gui Ming said.
He had already arranged the carriage and sent everyone out of the house first.
At this time, Yu Zhong also arrived with a team of officers and soldiers, and he brought a dozen stretchers and some dummies.
After dawn, the house was surrounded by people, and everyone was talking.
"I heard that more than a dozen people died last night. ”
"Hey, it's so cruel, I guess it's a feud. ”
I saw that the officers and soldiers came out one after another carrying more than a dozen stretchers, all covered with white cloths, and even stained with some blood. Of course, these are all arranged dummies, and they are all just made for people to see.
The gate of the courtyard was sealed, prohibiting people from entering and leaving, just like a murder scene. And Chen Anzheng was standing in the crowd, and when he saw this, he nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Guiming, who had been tossing all night, was sleeping in the room. For him, accomplishing this is like accepting a vote, and he will get closer to the truth behind it step by step.
