The young master of the current Ministry of Punishment, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Du Linqiu!
Why is he here?
This was the first thought that occurred to him after seeing this person, and it was also the last thought.
Because after Du Linqiu appeared, someone attacked Wu Wanyi from behind and knocked him unconscious.
This person's cultivation level is in the Dacheng realm, so he can naturally come behind Wu Wanyi quietly.
Xia Jinghua, the president of the Blue Clothes Club, looked at her lover with love that was almost overflowing from her eyes.
"Du Lang, we were just discussing how to find Kou Gang, but we didn't expect him to come to the door himself.
And I didn't expect Wu Wanyi to have an irreconcilable relationship with Kou Gang. "
Du Linqiu smiled and hugged Xia Jinghua's waist, causing the latter to laugh fondly.
Du Linqiu looked at the woman nestled in his arms.
To be honest, her appearance was not what he liked, but there was no way. According to his father's instructions, he had to capture this girl.
Du Linqiu stroked Xia Jinghua's hair and took a gentle sniff at the tips of her hair.
It caused the latter's body to feel numb.
"Madam, this is called the time that comes and the time that waits for us. This also shows that what we have to do is in line with the way of heaven.
God wants us to succeed.
But you can't let your father know about this. "
In fact, Xia Jinghua's legs were already weak when she heard the sound of "mother", and she could hardly stand.
Ever since he met Du Linqiu, he had fallen deeply into this man's charm, as if his every move and smile had special magic power.
"Yes, Du Lang. I will definitely not let my father know about this."
"Why don't you call me Du Lang? Madam, you can call me Lang Jun."
Xia Jinghua's whole face was buried in Du Linqiu's arms.
After a while, all the elite members of the Blue Clothes Club were dispatched, and Du Linqiu also left here.
Soon Kou Gang's news was passed to a manor in the outer city.
This manor is built near mountains and rivers, and next to it is Mount Langmeng, which overlooks most of the outer city of the imperial capital.
And next to a waterfall in the corner of Langmeng Mountain, a thatched hut was built beside the mountain and water.
The news about Kou Gang was finally delivered to this hut.
Then a note was handed out from the hut.
There are only two simple words on it.
Kill it!
About an hour later, a group of two people appeared outside the hut.
"Master Commander, the time you mentioned has come. Can you come out and see me?"
Wang Zhongjie walked out of the room where he had been meditating for two days. When he left the room, he could hear the sound of gurgling water outside.
Outside the room, water vapor was steaming, and the roar of the waterfall could be heard.
His room was actually next to a waterfall. The waterfall led the water from the top of the mountain down and poured it into the cold pool below.
The water in the cold pool was led out of another branch and flowed to the house where Wang Zhongjie lived.
There are green bamboos here, and there is an incense burner not far in front of the house, from which sandalwood is rising.
The water in the cold pool was led to this house, forming a small shallow lake on the side of the house, with more than a dozen large carp in it.
Half of it is white and half is black. It is well versed in the harmony of yin and yang, and has a great atmosphere.
The sandalwood is fire, the cauldron is gold, the house is wood, the small lake is water, and a clay sculpture of the Sanqing elephant is added.
Metal, wood, water, fire and earth, the five elements are harmonious, all in place.
It can be said that this place already has the prototype of the top cave heaven paradise in monasticism.
If everything here is not man-made, but created by nature, it would be enough to become the origin of Taoism.
Wang Zhongjie has been working here for the past two days. I am afraid that no one in the imperial capital could have imagined that he could actually rest and recuperate in such a mysterious place for two full days.
The outside world is beating people to death. I don’t know how many people have died in the past two days, and I don’t know how many people have been imprisoned.
Wang Zhongjie, however, still looked like a master from this world and seemed to be in no hurry at all.
Today he finally stepped out of the house, and by the edge of the cold pool, two people had been waiting for a long time.
One of them was wearing a third-grade official uniform, and he wore the official uniform unabashedly to meet a felon whom the emperor had ordered to arrest.
It's not that he is brave, but this is his private garden in the outer city. It is only natural for him to come here.
The third-rank official turned around and saw Wang Zhongjie with eyes full of surprise.
The other person was dressed as a warrior, standing beside him, with a fierce look on his face.
He has a strong and burly figure, and the warrior clothes on his body are bulging. He wears a knife at his waist, and the knife has been unsheathed for three minutes.
This man looked at Wang Zhongjie with a fearful look on his face. There were rumors in the world that his cultivation had reached the realm of transformation, but many people did not believe it.
After enjoying peace and happiness in this position for so long, even if my previous cultivation level was indeed that high, it should have dropped a lot.
And this man had this idea before.
But from the moment Wang Zhongjie took the first step out of the house, the man couldn't help but unsheath his sword.
If the knife is not unsheathed, he will not feel safe at all, but even if it is, it can only be said that he is suppressed like a preyed herbivore seeing a predator's carnivore.
Although he barely maintained his composure on the surface, he was actually feeling uneasy inside.
On the contrary, the third-grade officer seemed unaware of Wang Zhongjie's aura. Oh, I can't say he was unaware. It should be said that he didn't feel it at all!
Therefore, he calmly walked to Wang Zhongjie's side. When the man behind him who was responsible for protecting him saw this scene, he shouted in his heart:
Ouch, my Lord Lin, do you want to squander my money and send me to death?
If you want to die, just say it and I'll give you a knife. What's going on if you have to die with me?
Of course, he was just thinking like this now, and it was entirely because he was intimidated by Wang Zhongjie's momentum.
I was really uneasy, so the inner drama seemed a bit fragmentary.
Fortunately, Wang Zhongjie did not focus on him.
When he discovered this, the big man was obviously relieved.
The third-grade officer went up and bowed first, then said to Wang Zhongjie with a smile:
"Commander Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days. He seems a little thinner, but he is worried about what happened in the imperial capital recently."
Wang Zhongjie smiled, still looking calm and otherworldly.
Then he smiled and said:
"Everything that happened in the Imperial City today was within our expectations. In this case, whether you have made a decision or not, my sincerity is already here."
The third-grade official laughed, stroked his beard and said:
"I have received Mr. Huang's letter.
In fact, Mr. Huang does not need these proofs from the commander at all.
The commander himself is a golden sign, and Mr. Huang will believe whatever you say. "
Wang Zhongjie smiled and waved back:
"Huang Gong was so impressed.
As a junior, my moral deeds are still not as good as those of Huang Gong.
Besides, how can I be regarded as a golden signboard? Mr. Huang is a golden signboard of my dynasty. "
Although Wang Zhongjie looks like a fairy, his conduct is still top-notch, and his compliments are still the same.
The third-grade official smiled and continued:
"Huang Gong is very satisfied with the bargaining chip given by the commander.
But he also said when he wrote this letter that if it were just money, the Nanhai nobles didn't actually lack much.
The main reason is that you have served in Jinyiwei over the years and know more or less the secrets of some officials in the DPRK. These secrets are the most important to us.
Of course, since we promised to protect the commander's family, we still keep our word.
But the conditions for the commander...
If it's just money, although it may be hard-earned for you, in fact, for us, the secrets you know in your mind are really the most valuable to us. "
Wang Zhongjie smiled and nodded:
“I know what is most important to you, so these contents have already been prepared.
All I need now is that you can give me accurate information. Can the power of the Nanhai nobles in the imperial capital be used by me? "
When the third-rank official heard the first half of Wang Zhongjie's words, his face suddenly smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
And when he heard the second half of Wang Zhongjie's words, the chrysanthemums on his face actually performed a magical trick of blooming again.
He nodded quickly and said:
"Don't worry, don't worry, all the power of our Nanhai nobles in the imperial capital can be used by the commander!"
Wang Zhongjie nodded noncommittally. Of course he knew in his heart that it was impossible for them to give him all their power, but it didn't matter if the official words sounded nice.
Anyway, what you said was nonsense, and what I said was also nonsense. It was nonsense versus nonsense. In the end, I don’t know who suffered more.
After reaching an agreement, the third-rank official of the imperial court immediately asked the guards behind him to deliver a roster.
This list records the power that the Nanhai clan has deployed in the imperial capital for many years.
Wang Zhongjie took it and took a look, his face suddenly moved slightly. He raised his head with a sneer on his face and said lightly:
"It turns out you have already prepared everything."
The third-grade official smiled and said:
"Have you, Commander, already thought of what you want us to do?"
"I only need three things from you:
First, attack the arsenal of Emperor Wu's city.
The arsenal can be said to be the main reason for the Zhengyang Dynasty's surge in military force in recent years.
If you can do it, it doesn't hurt to even take out all the precious top skills. "
The third-grade officer was slightly startled, then shook his head and said:
"The arsenal of Emperor Wu City is guarded by the army, which is equivalent to a fortress. We don't have enough strength!"
Wang Zhongjie smiled lightly and said:
“Since I asked you to help with this matter, I must have enough strength.
I just need you to help me, and I will take care of the rest! "
The third-grade officer immediately smiled when he heard this, and nodded as he agreed.
Wang Zhongjie continued:
"I have asked the White Lotus Sect to help open the two prisons, and many prisoners who have been detained for a long time have escaped.
The government must be vigorously encircling and suppressing them. If they are all arrested, then the muddy waters in the imperial capital will be less muddy, which is not conducive to us fishing in troubled waters.
So I need your people's covert help to bring these people together.
Only when it reaches a large scale can it be powerful enough to muddy the waters of the imperial capital.
The stagnant water in the Imperial Capital must be turbid enough.
Maybe you think this matter is not difficult at all compared to the first matter, but don't forget who are being arrested in these major prisons in the imperial capital. "
The third-grade official suddenly laughed and said:
"This command allows you not to worry.
Even if Mr. Huang doesn't know this, I do.
I naturally know who is imprisoned in these prisons. I will explain it to Mr. Huang for you at this time. I think there should be no problem. "
Wang Zhongjie nodded silently:
"I almost forgot, the Minister of Dali Temple is also one of yours, right?"
A trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the face of this third-grade official, and he touched his beard in a somewhat cover-up manner.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongjie also knew about this matter. Commander of the Jinyi Guards, we must not underestimate him.
Wang Zhongjie snorted coldly in his heart: After all, I am also eating this bowl of rice. In professional matters, I am still very dedicated and dedicated.
The third-grade officer smiled and nodded, skipping the topic:
"We will take care of this matter, Commander, please rest assured!"
Wang Zhongjie nodded, he still believed in their abilities.
"As for the third point..."
Wang Zhongjie hesitated for a moment, and the third-grade officer immediately realized that this matter would probably be difficult to handle.
Wang Zhongjie smiled and said:
"The third thing is not difficult, the key is whether you have that determination!
The third-grade officer was aroused by these words and showed interest on his face. He said:
"Don't worry, we dare to do such things as plotting to usurp the throne, let alone other things."
Wang Zhongjie smiled and said:
"Then I'll tell the truth!"
The third-grade officer nodded, even with some contempt in his heart.
You, a mere commander of the Jinyi Guards, dare to question the courage of our Nanhai nobles?
Unexpectedly, after hearing Wang Zhongjie's next words, his face turned pale for an instant.
“The third thing I need is for you to attack Duke Wu’s mansion.
Of course, it would be best if the Duke of Wu, Zhu Guangxiao, could be killed.
If not, you must show enough determination.
Show off the momentum that you won’t give up until you reach your goal! "
The third-grade officer’s voice became hoarse and he asked uncertainly:
"Master Commander, are you sure we can handle this matter?"
Wang Zhongjie nodded and said with an unusually serious expression:
"The Duke of Wu, Zhu Guangxiao, is the spiritual pillar of the entire Zhengyang military.
There is an important prerequisite for the transfer of power between him and Tuoba Yinhan, that is, this matter must be handled by him personally.
If he didn't agree, it would be extremely difficult for Tuoba Yunhan to succeed him.
Although Tuoba Yunhan is strong, there are at least two or three people in the military who can keep up with him. If these people join forces, they will only be stronger than him.
But why is the military handover of power so peaceful now?
It is nothing more than Zhu Guangxiao playing a crucial role in it.
But if you attack Duke Wu's mansion, whether it succeeds or not, it will become a reason for others to fight and criticize Tuoba Yunhan. "
This third-grade official thought for a while and actually used a very vulgar metaphor.
"So this is Coptidis with its crotch down, it's either shit or shit!"
Wang Zhongjie looked calm on his face, but in his heart he was angrily scolding this third-grade official for his lack of quality, which almost made him shake his heart. How could a dignified third-grade official speak so out of tune.
He nodded and said that was what he meant.
The third-grade officer thought for a moment and seemed to think that this was indeed an excellent way to undermine Zhengyang's domestic military.
Once successful, it will take at least several months for the various factions in Zhengyang's domestic military to fight to reach the final result.
And this was the result of the emperor's pressure.
If this mutual attack situation continues.
Maybe it can last until the day when Emperor Xuyang dies.
You know, the balance in the court is the most difficult to achieve. Once it is destroyed, unless one party defeats the other party forcefully.
Otherwise, we will just end up in an endless tug-of-war.
This has almost become a truth, and partisanship in all dynasties will try their best to avoid this situation.
The major factions in this dynasty also think so. The current peaceful handover is actually the result of Zhu Guangxiao and Tuoba Yunhan joining forces to maintain stability.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for continuing to maintain peace, and that is that Zhu Guangxiao is alive.
With him alive, even if the two sides are evenly matched, they can still have a smooth handover. Even being evenly matched is a good thing.
But if Zhu Guangxiao dies, then this good thing will turn into a bad thing for the world.
The more this third-level official thought about it, the more he felt that this was a big thing worth doing.
So he said sincerely:
"The third thing, Commander, is really a good way to achieve mutual benefit! I will definitely report this matter to Mr. Huang, and I will definitely facilitate this matter."
Wang Zhongjie smiled and nodded.
The two parties talked in detail for a few more words, and the third-grade official left this courtyard.
As the third-grade official and his guards left the courtyard, Wang Zhongjie was still waiting by the cold pool.
After a while, water bubbles rose in the cold pool, and a carp as black as ink emerged from the water. Those hollow fish eyes seemed to be staring at him.
Wang Zhongjie leaned down and caught the black carp. The strange thing was that the carp did not dodge in the face of Wang Zhongjie's unhurried movements.
"The Beast Control Sect really has some skills, it's interesting and interesting!"
From the back of this black carp, Wang Zhongjie took out a sealed bamboo tube.
There is a note in the bamboo tube with a text written on it.
"All is ready except for the opportunity."
Wang Zhongjie nodded and threw the note into the cold pool.
On the Huaiying Pavilion, monkeys and rabbits gathered here.
There were two people beside them at the same time.
A stupendous one.
The other one has a big belly, big enough to hold a child.
These two people are the Ox and the Pig in the Zodiac Killer.
The top killers from one-third of the twelve zodiac signs gather here.
Linghuyu, the boss behind Huaiyingting and the current leader of the Beast Control Sect, also came to the top of the building.
Next to him was Lian Subo, the personal bodyguard of Princess An Huan'er.
Lian Subo sighed:
"That Wang Zhongjie turned out to be the prince's man. The depth of the prince's plan is beyond my imagination."
Linghuyu nodded in agreement, he thought so too.
"The prince has always been far-sighted. When he asked me to open the Huaiying Pavilion, I thought that the prince just wanted to have his own place to spend the night.
I didn't expect to use it today.
If Wang Zhongjie can help the prince with all his heart, the world will become the prince's world in a few days.
The people of the world can have true peace one day. "
Lian Subo saw the four killers of the Chinese zodiac.
When these four people saw Lian Subo and Linghu Yu, they immediately saluted respectfully and said in unison:
"I've seen Tenglong and Liema, two adults!"
