Chapter 213: Bribery

Qianjiaofang is a brothel, although it is not as famous as Liuren Lane, but there are many prostitutes in Sheng, and the price is cheap, so there is an endless stream of customers.

Zhong Heng is quite satisfied with this place, it is good to be a stunning prostitute, and it is not bad to be able to hug left and right.

The Captain of the City Patrol was invited to Nancheng to talk about things, and spent the whole day eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and the two low-paper officers who accompanied him enjoyed it even more, and they were still a few months away from Biyu City, and they couldn't miss this last crazy time.

It wasn't until the evening that Zhong Heng withdrew from his subordinates and prostitutes, and talked secretly with the killer Yang Huan, he didn't make too many detours this time, and quickly got to the point, "Brother Yang, can I call you that?"

Zhong Heng was a little drunk, his face was flushed, as if he was going to dig out his heart.

"Yes. ”

"The first time we met, I thought you were a good killer, smart, well-versed, and ...... Ambitious. ”

In Biyu City, everyone regards "ambition" as an advantage, Gu Shenwei smiled slightly, no one knows his true ambition, "Lord Duwei is really awarded." ”

"It's not an award, it's realistic, but, Brother Yang, didn't you think about yourself?"

"I don't understand what adults mean. ”

Zhong Heng leaned over and lowered his voice, "You have the blood of the sons of two Dubu Kings on your hands. ”

The eldest young lord Shangguan Chui was killed by Gu Shen to help Shangguan Fei, and if the fourth young lord Shangguan was "ordered" by him to get rid of it, "I just carried out the master's order." ”

"Hehe, Brother Yang is a smart person, why can't he figure this out, the people under him do dirty work, the master gets benefits, and in the end, it is inevitable that the cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will cook. ”

Of course, Gu Shenwei knows this truth, this is one of the important reasons why he has been hesitant to kill the twins or not, and it is difficult to find a third master like the brother and sister who is not old, immature, and easy to be controlled by the two brothers and sisters, "Fortunately, the stone castle has not been blamed on me for the time being." ”

Zhong Heng laughed a few times, took a sip of sobering tea, "The situation in the stone castle has not been normal in the past few months, right?"

"What do you mean, adult?" Gu Shenwei's heart moved.

"The women in Jinpeng Castle are in charge, the old enemies outside have not been cleared, and the sons are fighting to the death, but King Dubu seems to have been very calm and has never interfered. ”

The internal fighting of the Shangguan family, Gu Shenwei has always been involved in it, although he also had doubts when Mrs. Meng counterattacked the young master, but he quickly got used to it, and when he heard Zhong Heng say, his previous suspicions arose again, "Lord Zhong, if you can trust it, you might as well say it directly." ”

Zhong Heng didn't immediately "have something to say", he had to figure out one thing first, "Brother Yang, I want to ask you to tell the truth first, who is your real master in the stone castle." ”

This sentence directly pointed to one of Gu Shenwei's deepest secrets, he wanted to lie and cover it up, but he immediately gave up, Zhong Heng is the captain of the city patrol, and naturally has a wealth of intelligence sources, it is meaningless and unnecessary to lie to this adult who is about to be killed, "To be honest, I don't have a master now, it's not easy for the killer to survive, I have to find a reliable master for myself." ”

"Haha. Zhong Heng laughed with satisfaction, and then said: "In this world, there is only unavoidable loyalty, there is no willing loyalty, good birds choose wood, but unfortunately, there are usually only a few 'wood', everyone comes to grab it, how can there be a choice? ”

"Thank you for your teachings. Gu Shenwei did learn a lot from Zhong Heng, but this sentence didn't count, because he had known it for a long time.

"Therefore, everyone should be concerned about whether there is a problem with the tree under their feet and be prepared to fly away in advance. ”

The captain of the city patrol only has symbolic meaning in Biyu City, and he is not needed for public security and city defense, a large part of Zhong Heng's responsibility is to collect intelligence for the Central Plains, and his hint naturally carries a lot of weight in Gu Shenwei's ears, "My lord is saying-"

"Dubu King is sick, and it hasn't been for a short time, and he hasn't managed the affairs of Jinpeng Castle much since last winter. ”

Gu Shenwei had seen the Dubu King twice, the first time was when the boulder cliff captured the gold-topped Dapeng, at that time, Shangguan Fa was full of spirit, and killed a strong martial arts Qingmian with one palm, and the second time was at the funeral of the eldest young lord Shangguan Chui, with a blank expression, surrounded by groups of masters.

"Really?" Gu Shenwei couldn't find any signs of Dubu Wang's illness in his memory.

"This is exactly what I want to ask Brother Yang to help, and at the same time, it is also a favor for you to figure this matter out. ”

Gu Shenwei noticed that Zhong Heng particularly emphasized the word "I", and it was rare for this Captain to take all the responsibility on his own head, which just showed that he was ordered by the city governor, "It is a capital crime to casually talk about the king in the stone castle, and besides, it is difficult for me to even return to the castle now, I'm afraid I can't help." ”

Zhong Heng drooped his eyelids, blew the heat in the teacup, and said in a casual tone: "The father-daughter relationship is deep, and the Dubu King is sick, so when the children should always ask clearly." ”

It's Shangguan Ru again, this little girl doesn't know how many conspiracies and dangers her identity brings, but at this time, she is weak, Gu Shenwei is just one of the many beasts around, which makes him feel calmer, "This is not a favor for myself, it will only kill me." ”

Zhong Heng knew that he had convinced the killer, and now all he needed to do was to give a tempting promise, "The current Western Regions are not as good as before, the peak of Jinpeng Fort has passed, and the Central Plains will return to Biyu City sooner or later, you know, thirty years ago, this was the garrison of 10,000 elite soldiers in the Central Plains, and now the court has a movement to send troops, backed by such a big tree, is Brother Yang still worried about safety?"

The deal has been reached, all that remains is to grease it and whitewash it, so that it looks like it is neither a betrayal nor a conspiracy, if the Dubu King is really sick, the killer must arrange a way back for himself, especially the person with the blood stains of the son of the Dubu King on his hands, in Zhong Heng's opinion, Yang Huan is the most likely target.

The danger of betrayal is not the betrayal itself, but how to be sure that the other party is not cheating, and will not betray himself at a critical moment, Gu Shenwei pretended to be hesitant, waiting for Zhong Heng to retreat step by step, showing the final bottom line.

It took half an hour of detours and bargaining, and the two finally reached a naked deal, the killer probed the physical condition of Dubu Wang, Zhong Heng would provide protection when the killer needed it, and at the same time divided half of the 1.1 million taels of silver from Kun Social as a rebate.

Zhong Heng is about to die, Gu Shen got rid of this chess piece without a trace in order to get Wei Lingmiao's secret order, the reason why the killer wasted time negotiating was because the bottom line of the city patrol captain was the bottom line of the city governor, and when he negotiated with Wei Lingmiao again, he would ask for a little more return on this basis.

If any force wants to eradicate Jinpeng Castle, Gu Shenwei is willing to be an accomplice, but he has long understood a truth, if he does not have the right to decide, his friends will also become enemies.

Gu Shenwei said goodbye on the second watch, chatted with the boss at the door of the brothel, and then walked on a bustling street, so that many people could see his whereabouts.

Approaching the third watch, Gu Shen walked along the roof of the house at night for the masked face, and sneaked back to Qianjiao Courtyard, he did not tell Shangguan Ru about this mission, he planned it himself, and assigned people by himself.

Zhong Heng's martial arts are average, and Gu Shenwei is drugged, so he can kill this adult without a sword.

Gu Shenwei didn't want to kill the target so easily, he had to know what Wei Lingmiao and the city patrol captain had a grudge for.

The business in the brothel was booming, and Gu Shen found an opportunity to jump to the ground in order to let the past three groups of customers, and quickly pushed the door in, and the prostitutes inside had been bought by him and would not bolt the door.

Everything went well, there was one thing, Zhong Heng did not lie on the bed as planned, but sitting.

There was no light in the room, and I could only see dimly by the light outside.

"Come back and kill me?"

"Yes. ”

"How will I die?"

"Overindulgence. ”

"Ha, the bitch you're looking for is so ugly, there's no way, I had to kill her first. ”

There was a woman lying on the bed, Gu Shenwei knew that she was dead without looking, Zhong Heng was really not easy to deceive, but Gu Shenwei was not worried, he had a backup plan, in the next room, three temporarily hired swordsmen were drinking flower wine, as long as a hint, they would rush in and chop the body of Lord Du Wei into pulp, covering up the wound stabbed by the killer, and afterwards claiming that this was to fight for women, in Nancheng, this kind of thing is very common.

"How do you know?" Gu Shenwei asked flatly, trying not to speak when the killer was killing, if Zhong Heng understood this, he would understand that there was still something to talk about.

"Look, you want to kill me, so you can't help but observe my flaws, looking for the best place to start, you like to stab me in the neck, right?"

Gu Shenwei smiled slightly, found a chair to sit down, he liked this city patrol lieutenant a little, there was an extremely sharp heart hidden under the appearance of the old slippery head, "This is a problem, we have to solve it well." ”

At the beginning, it was Zhong Heng who taught the killer what "exploring the truth" and "solving the problem" was, and now, he has to solve his own problems.

"Yes, the cunning rabbit died and the lackey cooked, but I didn't expect that I was the one who was cooked first. What benefits does Wei Gongzi give you?"

"Postponing the payment of the 'peace charm' is not a good thing for me. ”

"Hey, you're losing a bit of a business. ”

"Well, Lord Lieutenant must be able to provide more reasonable advice. ”

In Biyu City, where killers are like forests, it is useless to survive by martial arts alone, Zhong Heng threw his waist knife at the door, and he didn't even hold it in his hand, he knew that his catties were too far from the killer, and the only way to save himself was to have a tongue that was not rotten.

"Mutual demand is a strong alliance, or it is a mutual control. ”

Gu Shenwei and Luo Ningcha, the daughter of the big-headed god, and Shangguan Fei, the ninth young master, were all in this state, so he had a deep understanding, "What is the handle of Wei Gongzi?"

"Now that I say it, I don't have much to talk about. ”

"It's the same if I don't say it, I can't just sit here and wait. ”

"Hehe, it doesn't hurt to tell you, remember, I have other secrets, don't kill me as soon as I finish speaking. ”

"No, when I kill you, I will definitely tell you in advance. ”

Zhong Heng coughed dryly, this was the first time he had seen the cold side of the killer, and he was worried in his heart, not as confident as he was at the beginning, "Wei Gongzi has a heart disease, he killed his fiancΓ©e, and he is ashamed, so he is afraid that this matter will spread." ”
