Chapter Forty-Seven: The Most Ruthless Imperial Family
Among the four groups of dragons, tigers, eagles, and pigeons to which the "Heavenly Punishment Hall" belongs, the number of dragon groups that mainly carry out assassination is the smallest, but each of them is an outstanding master, and Hong Xiguan, who is the head of the dragon group, is the best among them, and he is also the right-hand man of Yu Tianlai.
"Xiguan, don't be polite, sit down and talk. Yu Tianlai smiled and waved his hand, quite like the elders of his predecessors. His actual age is several times older than the other party, so this attitude is natural and there will be no sense of disobedience.
Hong Xiguan sat down on the side and asked, "I don't know what the hall master has to call his subordinates to come and order?"
Because of the help of the year and the later relationship, Hong Xiguan has become one of Yu Tianlai's loyal confidants. Yu Tianlai didn't have to hide anything from him, and handed him the letter directly: "The chief helmsman has a letter delivered, you can also come and take a look." ”
Hong Xiguan took the letter and read it, his face was covered with a layer of intense murderous intent, and he said coldly: "It's a pity that the hero of the country surnamed Ye I, even the Qing court couldn't help him, and finally died in the hands of his own people." Although the culprit Zheng Tai has been beheaded, those accomplices who aided the abuse should not be let go. Since the chief helmsman has given the order, he asks the hall master to leave this matter to our dragon group. If the subordinates are willing to make a military order, they will definitely take the head of the Zheng family's uncle and nephew!"
Yu Tianlai smiled and waved his hand: "I called you here, naturally I want to give you this task." Naturally, you don't need a military order or anything, but I want you to bring back not the head, but two living mouths. ”
"The subordinates obeyed the order, and they will definitely bring back the living mouth to the hall master. Hong Xiguan was stunned for a moment, but his temperament has always been deep and steady, although he didn't understand why the hall master had such a request, he didn't ask, just got up and solemnly received the order, and then went to transfer people and arrange actions.
Looking at the back of Hong Xiguan leaving, Yu Tianlai had a faint premonition that this time he might reveal the truth of a matter.
In the turn of the day, Chen Jinnan, who had been away for nearly two years, returned to the helm of the Heaven and Earth Society without warning.
After the two met and finished the ceremony, Yu Tianlai smiled and said: "Since you are going to come back soon, what are you going to do when you send someone to deliver a letter?
A complicated look flashed on Chen Jinnan's face, as if he was a little guilty and a little bitter, but then he replied as indifferently as possible: "Everything on Taiwan Island has been decided, and the king of Yanping intends to inherit the will of the country's surname, so he ordered me to return to the inland and continue to expand the strength of the Heaven and Earth Society as an internal response. ”
Yu Tianlai has gone through two lives, one has been mixed with the shopping mall, and the other has become the king of a country, and he has insight into people's hearts. Sensing that the other party's expression was different, combined with some information he obtained through secret channels, he guessed in his heart.
Chen Jinnan's sudden return this time was not voluntary, but the arrangement of the newly baked Yanping County King Zheng Jing. And the reason why Zheng Jing is like this is that he suppressed Chen Jinnan, an old courtier whose power, merit, and prestige are too biased and is not his descendant, and secondly, he is not worried that the huge power of Heaven and Earth will be in the hands of an outsider with no unknown roots.
"Hey, the birds are not finished, so hide the bow. Zheng Jing is really not a person who does great things, and his heart is not as good as his father!"
He sneered in his heart, and felt more and more that the plan he was gradually perfecting was the right way, so he immediately put down the matter and didn't ask more, and smiled casually: "The chief helmsman came back at the right time, the thing that the junior brother arranged at the beginning has been basically in place, and the younger brother is intending to officially carry out the plan, but he can't be dragged down by these things in the meeting." Now he has invited the chief helmsman to take charge of the Heaven and Earth Society again, and the younger brother is concentrating on that thing. ”
"Brother Yu, you ......" Chen Jinnan was quick-witted and thoughtful, and naturally guessed that the other party could guess many things, and the expression on his face was even more embarrassed, but he was strictly ordered by the new lord Zheng Jing to take back the power of the Heaven and Earth Society and reintegrate it, so the words in his heart lingered on his lips for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.
Yu Tianlai waved his hand and said sincerely: "Brother Chen, you and I have been friends for several years, I know Brother Chen, and Brother Chen should also know me, in short, everyone is for the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty, and there is no need to say anything superfluous." ”
"Brother Yu understands righteousness, and the foolish brother is ashamed and grateful. Chen Jinnan was greatly moved in his heart, and a thousand words in his heart turned into this sentence, and solemnly clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Yu Tianlai. ,
The next day, Chen Jinnan, who returned to the position of the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, sent a heroic message to the rudders all over the world, asking the rudder masters to gather at the Honghua Pavilion outside Xiangyang City on July 25 this year to discuss the plan to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. And the real significance of this gathering is naturally to re-establish the power of Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and to integrate the Heaven and Earth Society, which has greatly expanded in the past two years.
At the same time, the "Heavenly Punishment Hall", which had gradually merged with the Heaven and Earth Society in the past year or so, was divided again, and with Yu Tianlai's instructions, it was reduced to zero and disappeared from the sight of some well-intentioned people.
A few days later, Hong Xiguan, who was sent by Yu Tianlai to carry out the mission, returned with the team. After learning about the changes in the Heaven and Earth Society, he did not go to see Chen Jinnan, but handed over orders to Yu Tianlai through the unique contact method within the "Heavenly Punishment Hall" - although he respected Chen Jinnan, he recognized Yu Tianlai's person and methods more, so he chose to invest in Yu Tianlai's "Heavenly Punishment Hall"
After seeing Yu Tianlai, Hong Xiguan sent Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu's uncle and nephew, who were captured alive, to their faces.
Yu Tianlai was greatly satisfied, and first gave an explanation to Hong Xiguan.
After Hong Xiguan left, he turned to the uncle and nephew of the Zheng family, who had already been colorless, and smiled: "You don't need to be afraid, I have invited you two here, but I have a few questions to ask." If the two of you answer truthfully, I can give you a decent and happy death. ”
Zheng Zhangxu said in a trembling voice: "No matter what you want to know, we know everything, can't we change our lives?"
Yu Tianlai shook his head, still smiling on his face, but the words he said were extremely cold: "The two of you still don't want to be lucky, let alone hope to threaten me with death." You must know that death is the same, and there is a world of difference in it!"
Zheng Mingjun on the side said dejectedly: "That's it, if your Excellency has anything to know, just ask." ”
Yu Tianlai nodded with satisfaction, and then asked a few things in detail.
Zheng Mingjun really answered one by one, some of which he himself was not clear, and persuaded Zheng Zhangxu beside him to explain what he knew.
After a while, Yu Tianlai stopped asking. From the words of the Zheng family's uncle and nephew, he finally determined one thing, that is, Zheng Chenggong's death was definitely not done by Zheng Tai. In fact, since Zheng Jing received Chen Jinnan's words that year and sent Feng Xifan to meet Zheng Chenggong to warn, Zheng Chenggong has become a little wary of Zheng Tai. Later, even though Zheng Tai had the heart to start, he never got the opportunity.
"Since Zheng Tai is not a murderer, then he is the only one who has the ability to do this, after all, he is the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing......"
Thinking of these things in his heart, Yu Tianlai shook his head and sighed: "Heh, it is really the most ruthless emperor's family." It's just that these people don't understand a truth - if they really come to the point of being ruthless and unrighteous, without relatives and love, they are sitting on the throne of God's king, and how can there be any fun?"
