I was puzzled and asked, "What case do we need to handle?" Ning Boyang said, "There are many cases in the hands of the Zhenfu Division. You will know about it gradually."
I said "Oh" and said with a smile: "Those are all things in the future. We just have to do our job now." Ning Boyang patted my back and said, "It is rumored that Jin Yiwei will promote some people as usual soon. You will also have a chance. Do you understand this? As the saying goes, there are three gangs of heroes. We are all new brothers and we should look after each other. Look at Liao Qianhu, he has four hundred households , they are all his sworn brothers, and they run the errands very resolutely!" He said, looking at me, and I looked at him and couldn't help but smile. I said, "Yes, brothers support and take care of each other, that's I should. As for promotion, I really don’t dare to think about it. Xiang Chong just raised the small flag, I was early!” In fact, I know that I will be the general flag, and the reason behind it is Eunuch Zhang Yong. Ning Boyang nodded and said: "I was very touched by your righteousness in saving me yesterday. I think we will become brothers and we will take care of each other in the future."
I was not familiar with the place in the capital, and my heart was always empty. When Ning Boyang mentioned it, I naturally agreed. Ning Boyang said: "It is better to choose a day than to hit it. I just want to see today." There was a lot in his voice. There was a lot of excitement, and Hardy came in from outside and said, "What happened today? Why are you so happy!"
We looked at each other and laughed. Since I came to the capital, I know that I am young and ignorant. Although I am more or less taken care of by Liao Jianzhong, I have always believed that many friends have many paths. Therefore, although I am not very familiar with Ning Boyang, I am still happy to be sworn friends with him. For brothers, and this Hardy suddenly came in, I was moved in my heart and nodded to Ning Boyang. Ning Boyang was so smart. He understood immediately, walked over with a smile, patted Hardy on the shoulder, and said: "Zhang Ying and I are in love, ready to How about you, sworn brother Jinlan? Do you think highly of us?"
Hardy's eyes were bright and he couldn't believe it. After a slight hesitation, Ning Boyang said: "The three of us are all newbies. We need to take more care of you in the future." Hardy nodded and said: "I'm not as experienced as you. The future will depend on you in the future!" Ning Boyang said with a smile: "The world is so big, it can accommodate all kinds of things, and brotherhood is deep, so we can share the blessings! In the past, Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan were sworn brothers. Today, the three of us, Jin Yi, have formed an alliance. It is also a big alliance. Have fun!" Soon, Ning Boyang brought incense paper, wine and fruits, and even a bronze statue of the master. He must have been prepared for it. The three of them knelt on the ground, lined up the year and the month, pledged their blood to form an alliance, kowtowed their heads and swore an oath.
In this way, the three of us became sworn brothers, with Ning Boyang at the head, me in the middle, and Hardy the youngest.
In fact, at this moment, I am thinking of Xiang Chong. After all, he was the first person who talked to me sincerely when I first came to Jinyiwei. He told me so many things, which are very important experiences for young people. Over the years, I have been obsessed with this. Although he thinks that I may have a higher position, maybe I will be his backer in the future, but at this time, I am still ordinary. He treats me like this, which is less than sincere, but he, now no one has With no trace left and life or death uncertain, people can't help but feel worried.
Ning Boyang was always beaming, talking about our friendship with Jinlan, and looking forward to the future. Seeing that I suddenly became unhappy, he unconsciously asked, "Second brother, what's wrong?" I truthfully told him my worries about Xiang Chong, and Ning Boyang Boyang disagreed and said: "Hey, he is a clever guy. He is familiar with the Zhenfu Division and even the entire Jinyiwei. How could something happen? Second brother, you scared everyone last night!"
"This is also the second thing I'm wondering about. You are all so anxious, but why are you so normal when you see me today?"
"Haha, this is what Liao Qianhu ordered. Let us be tight on the outside and tight on the inside. We must find you. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen Liao Qianhu so anxious. Of course, we are all new here and are not familiar with the capital, so we have to stay here. Zhenfu Secretary. Fortunately, you came back safely. Where did you go last night?" Ning Boyang asked with concern. I briefly told where I was going. Of course, I didn't mention the murder in Dongchang, just that. The woman was very good at kung fu and was familiar with this place, so she made herself very embarrassed. Fortunately, she hid in a temple and found her way back after dawn.
Ning Boyang was surprised and said: "Why is there a temple here? You are nearby. It seems that you may be really lost, but it's just you who are smart."
I nodded and said, "I'm really lucky! Fortunately, Xiang Chong took me through a circle. I still remember this place, so I rushed back by accident." Ning Boyang thought about it and said, "There are so many pavilions and pavilions here, you must be there." I bumped into it by mistake, thinking it was a temple, just come back."
While he was talking, Tan Sheng walked in with a smile, saw the three of us there, and looked at the incense table. He was stunned and said, "Are you all here?" I hurriedly cupped my hands and said, "Brother Tan, we don't have anything serious to do. , just chat!" Ning Boyang said: "Brother Tan, is there something wrong?" Tan Sheng blinked and said: "Liao Qianhu asked Zhang Ying to come over. He is waiting for you in Tingtao Pavilion, because I am on the way. Come here." As he said this, with a suspicious look on his face, he slightly cupped his hands and left. Ning Boyang smiled and said, "This guy has a background!" I said, "Since Liao Qianhu is looking for me, I'll go over there!" He quickly went out, and Ning Boyang followed him and whispered: "I heard, Liao Qianhu is going to be promoted to commander and envoy!"
I smiled unconsciously and said: "You are so well-informed, I don't know anything." Ning Boyang patted my back and said: "You are as wise as a fool!" One sentence made me confused, I What do you know?
When I arrived at Liao Jianzhong's place in Tingtao Pavilion, he was writing an official document. When he saw me coming in, he gestured to sit down. After writing, he raised his head and said to me: "Where were you last night?"
I didn't dare to lie and told the truth about where I was going, but I didn't mention the murder. Liao Jianzhong opened his eyes wide and said after a long time: "That's the Dongchang. I don't dare to go there easily. Fortunately, you didn't meet anyone from the Dongchang. Otherwise, even if you entered by mistake, you might have a narrow escape. Last night, the Dongchang was also full of people. And I don’t know why I came out.”
I was so frightened that I sweated on my forehead, and then told the story of meeting the little novice monk. Liao Jianzhong smiled and said: "That little novice monk is a living treasure in the palace. He is simple and likes to tease people, but he is not evil. What happened last night There are too many things, you and Xiang Chong are missing, I'm very worried. What's even weirder is that Dongchang also sent someone to ask this morning, Bao Song, a member of the Jinyiwei family there, has also disappeared, asking if he has returned to Jinyiwei! "
When he loosened the bag, I nodded unnaturally. Liao Jianzhong looked at me and said slowly: "Besides, they said that someone pretended to be a Jin Yiwei and stabbed Qian Baihu. It must be you! What happened last night? ?" His voice suddenly became extremely majestic. I didn't lie anymore and told the whole story without mentioning the picture album.
Liao Jianzhong listened in surprise, and his face became paler. When I finished speaking, he did not speak. He looked at me slowly, and suddenly said with tears: "Bao Song is my good brother, and you know that we joined the Jinyiwei together." It’s about the eighteen brothers. We are all brothers among them. He died miserably, and Qian Tong really did it. It’s a very important matter, and I have to go find Eunuch Zhang. You can’t tell anyone about this matter, otherwise, You will die without a burial place.”
I nodded repeatedly, and he added: "I now suspect that Xiang Chong's disappearance is related to Dongchang, but I don't know what happened." I thought about it, and then told him about seeing Ji Liaofan and others at the Pingjia old store that day. Read it again.
Liao Jianzhong nodded and said: "I know this. This is why I suspect Dongchang. And you have to be careful lately, I'm worried that they will do something to you!"
I was taken aback and said: "I didn't offend them, how could they do something to me!" Liao Jianzhong stood up and said: "Many things in the world are unpredictable. You think that if you treat others with kindness, others will be kind to you. , this is not necessarily the case, you will understand slowly. Okay, I will go find Eunuch Zhang right now, just pay attention. "
Just as I was about to say goodbye, he stopped me again and said, "Go to the imperial prison, give this official document to Yue Ziqian, and take my token with you." I thought of Gao Qian and Gao Dezheng, so I could ask, He took the official document and followed Liao Jianzhong out.
Halfway through, Liao Jianzhong whispered: "You must keep Bao Song's affairs secret and don't tell anyone!" I naturally agreed, and Liao Jianzhong went elsewhere. I went straight to the imperial prison. Because of the prison robbery, Liao Jianzhong asked Yue Ziqian to be in charge of the imperial prison. The security here was strengthened. Fortunately, many people recognized me, and I had Liao Jianzhong’s token. The journey was smooth, and I went directly to the imperial prison. courtyard.
