98. Seizure of power
In the end, Hei Wuyan was not killed and fed to the dog, but ate dog meat early in the morning, and the greasy mouth was like starving her for three days.
Bai Wuyu finally relented, and what made him relieved was not those testimonies, but Xiao Fei's words.
"It's okay if you don't cooperate, I'll let you go, and then the Tianfu soldiers will go to the Governor's Mansion of the Two Factories on an order, and then you think what Cao Zhubing will do to you. ”
Cao Jinbing is ruthless, and he will never be soft on those who may betray him, even if it is the two of them, it will be difficult to escape the doom.
Besides, there is also a demon bell, who knows how she will flatter and slander, in the final analysis, the loser is worthless in the eyes of the Cao family.
With a sumptuous breakfast, Bai Wuyu looked at Xiao Fei and the two and said, "Last night's confession was enough to bring down the Cao family, and then we will leave the imperial city, you have to keep your promise." ”
Xiao Fei added another piece of meat to Hei Wuyan, and then smiled: "If you can destroy Cao, the two of you will be heroes, and the nature of the world will go." But the two of them have run so much in the imperial city, so they are willing to leave like this?"
Bai Wuyu laughed and said: "When each is his master, he will do everything, even if he surrenders to sincerity now, I'm afraid some people will not tolerate it." ”
Bai Wuyu's concerns were also right, after all, he was once Cao Jinbing's henchman, and if he stayed in the Imperial City's forces, the road would not be easy in the future.
Xiao Fei no longer advised, but Huang Chongsheng said: "If you don't dislike it, follow me, and I won't tell you anything, I am now the leader of the alliance of Dongao Jianghu Dao, and now I am also an ally of Lord Cai Jinyan." When the Cao family is eliminated, the real murderer behind the scenes, how the world belongs, have you ever thought about it?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Fei looked at Huang Chongsheng twice.
At this moment, although he is the leader of the alliance, the power and intelligence are still in the hands of the Red Sleeve Qingcheng, and he is just a pawn, how to really control this alliance depends on his means.
And now for Huang Chongsheng, being speechless is the best helper.
For this proposal, Hei Wuyan was silent, she never liked to think about complicated things, and this decision naturally fell into Bai Wuyu's hands.
Bai Wuyu looked at Huang Chongsheng fixedly, clasped his fists and saluted: "Bai Wuyu is willing to follow Huang Gongzi!"
The day after the attack on Tianfu, Cao was stripped of control of the forbidden army, and dozens of henchmen were then questioned.
Of course, Cao Zhubing naturally would not watch his power be disintegrated, he mobilized the guards of the two factories with all his might, and secretly summoned all the nobles in the imperial city, a storm was brewing.
Losing the two minions of the forbidden army and the imperial horse, Cao Jianbing wanted to turn over, and the biggest reliance was the Red Leaf Gang, if the Red Leaf Gang could make a move, he would dare to turn his face directly with the emperor.
Of course, this is tantamount to rebellion, but if he doesn't do this, he will still be involved with those criminal evidences.
Even if he leaves a handle for the major city lords in the future, or even raises troops to serve the king, it will be a matter for later.
In the Yanai Mansion, Cao Gongzi still had no heart to watch the performances of the beauties, and the bell served him as if he had nothing to do.
"Your dad is going to be finished, and you still have the heart to have fun, how big is that. The bell smiled coquettishly in Cao Gongzi's arms.
"What a father, a righteous father, beneficial is the father, and unhelpful is a stranger. Cao Gongzi said without hurrying or slowing.
"Alas, when Gong Cao accepted you, he was really blind. ”
For the bell's unceremonious words, Cao Gongzi was unimpressed, patted her buttocks and said: "At the beginning, he accepted me, because he took a fancy to my uncle's strength, and now that he is gone, I should just lose the car and hold the handsome." ”
The bell smiled happily again, he knew that in this imperial city storm, this Cao Gongzi had nothing to fear, and if he failed, it was like losing the game, and he would do it all over again.
"Childe, it's not good, the emperor has been ordered to get people from the mansion!"
At this time, a subordinate ran in in a hurry.
Cao Gongzi was having fun with the bell, and was disturbed by Yaxing at the moment, and immediately flicked his fingers, and the subordinate collapsed limply.
Seeing this scene, the beauties were once again silent, and although the dance did not stop, their movements had stiffened.
"Childe is very good, let Qin Yu come in. Cao Gongzi's body did not move a bit, but this sentence was said to the bell.
"Yes. The bell got up and walked away, as if everything had been expected.
At this moment, dozens of tables were arranged in Cao Zhubing's courtyard, but there were only more than a dozen people present, all of whom were his cronies, and no one from the other officials attended.
This change was unexpected by the powerful minister who has been in charge of the government and the opposition for more than ten years, even if the catastrophe is coming, but it is not yet known who will kill the deer?
Cao Zhubing was pacing back and forth in the lobby, and at this time, an attendant hurriedly entered and announced: "Master, there is news from the Gongzi Mansion, and a message has been issued!"
Cao Jianbing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this: "It's still my son who is careful and bold, thinking of me in front of him, what a good son." Bring it to me and take a look. ”
The attendant seemed very hesitant, and only replied after a while: "That's the text that broke off the father-son relationship with the master, this scolding is too ugly." ”
Hearing this, Cao Zhubing's face suddenly changed, and then he violently overturned the table in front of him.
"It's all because I can't do it, I want to rebel, right? I've seen this a lot of times, and it's been 20 years, and it's not me who wins every time!"
Cao Jianbing scolded angrily, then calmed down, looked at the silent ministers and said: "I underestimate this little emperor, since I want to tear his face, then I will immediately tear him off his position!"
At this time, the head of the military department whispered: "But teacher, now that the imperial cavalry is in the hands of Qin Yu, he is no longer under the order, and the forbidden army is in charge of Cai Jinyan at the moment. ”
"These are the forces of the outer palace, but the Praetorian Guards in the palace are personally in charge of me, even if they were handed over to Cai Jinyan yesterday, they are still under my orders!"
Cao Zhubing slammed the cup hard, and commanded a tall man with a cold face beside him: "Yin Qiutian, this official ordered you to be in charge of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, kill Cai Jinyan, Qingjun's side!"
Yin Qiutian clenched his fists and replied: "Subordinates obey orders!"
This person is Yin Qiutian, the third on the list of evildoers in the rivers and lakes, and his power is enough to start a sect. However, due to his violent personality, high-profile people, and many enemies in the rivers and lakes, he was besieged by dozens of masters back then, if it weren't for Cao Zhubing, he would have died.
Since then, Yin Qiutian has followed Cao to Bing and become his escort, and his status is higher than that of speechless.
At this moment, arranging Yin Qiutian to go out, Cao Zhubing is equivalent to sending the last guarantee around him, and his determination can be seen.
At the same time, in the palace, Cai Jinyan bowed down and stood beside the young Son of Heaven, who was full of heaven and handsome, especially a pair of sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, not angry and arrogant. Even though he is only seventeen or eighteen years old at the moment, he has the air of an emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Cao thief has taken the bait, and I have three strategies to deal with at this moment. Cai Jinyan replied.
The Son of Heaven got up and grabbed Cai Jinyan's hand, and said calmly: "Mr. said bluntly, I would like to hear about it." ”
Cai Jinyan has conspired with the Son of Heaven since he met the Son of Heaven in the Imperial City Bazaar, and the Son of Heaven is also extremely polite and virtuous, and every action warms his heart.
Cai Jinyan replied respectfully: "Among the three strategies, the easiest strategy is to make a decision, Your Majesty only needs to give an order, and the Cao thief colludes with the Inner Palace Janissaries to rebel and let the emperor kill him." However, this move will cause chaos in the imperial city, and the major forces, including the Red Leaf Gang, will take the opportunity to carve up the territory of the Cao thieves, and if they want to rectify it in the future, I am afraid it will take a lot of time. ”
When the Son of Heaven heard this, he sighed: "Don't spend time, the imperial dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, if the imperial city is in chaos, even I will not be able to return to heaven." What about the middle strategy?"
"The middle strategy is to take advantage of the Cao thief's full strength to attack the inner courtyard of the palace, and His Majesty can arrange for a master to assassinate the Cao thief, capture the thief and capture the king first, and quell the rebellion in one fell swoop. But the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although the Cao thief is not as good as before, but his subordinates are still intertwined, once the assassination fails, let him escape from the imperial city, collude with those powerful city lords, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"Sneak attack on the Chinese army, only take the general, this method is good, success can avoid chaos, but the risk of failure is too great, it is estimated that the first person he will look for is Song Yunlong, the city lord of Fengxiang. The Son of Heaven groaned.
"Song Yunlong is the fast son-in-law of the Hai family, although the relationship exists in name only, but he can make a fuss. Now these major cases of exterminating the door are all directed at the Red Leaf Gang, but the Red Leaf Gang is ambiguous about Cao Bingbing's relationship, once the Cao thief escapes, he will definitely persuade Song Yunlong to enter Beijing in this name. ”
The Son of Heaven then asked, "What about the best policy?"
Cai Jinyan knelt on the ground and replied: "The best policy is to urgently summon Huang Wuwei's son into the palace, and order the ministers above the third rank to enter the southern study to announce the result of the extermination case." In this way, Cao Thief's henchmen have to enter the palace, and if Cao Thief does not come, it is a disobedience to the order, and His Majesty can avoid being implicated too widely. ”
"What if the thief enters the palace?" the Son of Heaven immediately asked.
"The Red Leaf Gang can be killed!" Cai Jinyan replied.
