To be honest, after An Zhirong lost power and the An family was placed under house arrest by Shangguan Hongyuan, Chen Wu had the opportunity to break away from An Zhirong's control... ····Chen Wu can definitely do this. Although An Zhirong is ruthless, he still treats his subordinates very well. As long as you can do things for him, he will not hesitate to reward you!
Chen Wu followed An Zhirong and killed so many people for him over the years. Although he didn't make a lot of money, he still accumulated a huge net worth!
This amount of money is enough for Chen Wu to buy a house in a certain county, a paddy field in the countryside, marry a few concubines, and live a comfortable life for the rest of his life. There is no problem at all!
However, although Chen Wu is bold, he is also greedy enough. He is not satisfied with living the rest of his life comfortably. He knows very well that Dazhou is a world of officials. No matter how much land you have, no matter how much you have, In terms of money, you are not as good as someone else’s official hat!
Therefore, Chen Wu has always had a dream in his heart, that is, to become an official! And looking at the world today, with all the heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty rising up together, who has the strongest momentum and whose fist is the hardest?
There is no doubt that it is the Fengwu Army! There is no doubt that it is Marshal Ye! Therefore, Chen Wu also intended to defect to the Fengwu Army to see if he could get a full-time official position in the Fengwu Army. It happened that his original master, An Zhirong, was the third uncle of the mistress of the Fengwu Army, An Miaoyi. So Chen Wu asked An Zhirong for a letter of recommendation and then came to Yi Jing... Although he really wanted to He wanted to meet An Miaoyi, but An Miaoyi was the high-ranking mistress of Fengwu Army. She usually lived in seclusion in Ye Mansion. How could he, Chen Wu, a man from the world, be able to meet her casually?
Although it was very difficult, Chen Wu still had some tricks. He spent a lot of money to rely on connections and finally handed the recommendation letter from An Zhirong to An Miaoyi.
Only then did An Miaoyi know that someone from her third uncle had come to defect to her. Although Huo Sansan, who was usually in the coordination office, was very willing to lean on An Miaoyi and do whatever he could for An Miaoyi.
But An Miaoyi knew very well that Huo San was still loyal to her husband. Huo San was only willing to move closer to her because of her status as mistress. Some really shady things still couldn't be left to Huo San, so she thought about it. After that, An Miaoyi chose to accept Chen Wu and asked Qiqige to arrange for him to take care of some of her properties in Yijing City!
Because of her professional counterpart, when An Miaoyi arranged this matter for Qiqige, Qiqige immediately thought of Chen Wu!
So he also tested Chen Wu. Chen Wu was here to fight for glory and wealth, and he also knew that he could do such shady things.
Although An Miaoyi did not treat him badly during the time he came to Yijing, he did not fulfill Chen Wu's wish. Therefore, Chen Wu has been very anxious to do an errand for the eldest lady as soon as possible, so that he can be put into use by the eldest lady and serve himself. Looking for a full-time official position································ So faced with Qiqige’s temptation, Chen Wu He was also very polite and took the job very simply!
He has done this kind of dirty work under An Zhirong many times and has rich experience, so he naturally knows how to do this kind of thing!
Although she didn't know whether Chen Wu ran away on his own or was kidnapped or killed, An Miaoyi couldn't help but ask: "Qiqige, when was the last time you and Chen Wu met? Are you How did you find out that he was missing?" Qiqige heard this and said without thinking: "The last time I met Chen Wu was five days ago. He told me that he wanted to recruit people, so I gave him five hundred taels of silver. , and we agreed to meet today, and I told him who the target was, but when I went to find him today, he disappeared! "
"I went to his mistress and couldn't find him. His mistress said that Chen Wu hadn't been there for almost ten days. I don't know where this guy went!" Listening to Qiqige's words, An Miaoyi couldn't help but start to have doubts about this Chen Wu. Wu disappeared in order to defraud the five hundred taels of silver.
After all, these five hundred taels of silver are not a small amount of money, it is enough for Chen Wu to spend the rest of his life! However, after thinking about it carefully, An Miaoyi felt that this was a bit unlikely. After all, Chen Wu had been with his third uncle An Zhirong for many years and had received a letter of recommendation from him. There was a high probability that he was not a money-minded person, and it was Chen Wu who told him Third uncle must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. He probably has five hundred taels of silver... ·······In addition, this person did not come to her for money, but came for him as an official. Based on these factors, An Miaoyi felt that the possibility of Chen Wu running away with money was very low!
Since Chen Wu didn't run away on his own initiative, there is only one possibility left! Thinking of this, An Miaoyi's heart sank, but she still asked Qiqige: "How much does Chen Wu know?" Qiqige said without thinking: "Chen Wu only knows that I want to arrange to kill someone, but to go He doesn't know where to kill or who to kill. In order to keep it secret, I originally planned to tell him today and arrange for him to set off tomorrow!" Hearing what Qiqige said, An Miaoyi nodded slightly and felt at ease. Master, this is a blessing among misfortunes. If the worst-case scenario is true and Chen Wu is caught by the Coordination Office or the internal guards, then there is still room for recovery!
Looking at An Miaoyi's serious expression, Qiqige bit her lip and then knelt in front of An Miaoyi and said: "Madam, Chen Wu's disappearance is because of my failure in doing things. If there is really any trouble, madam, please hand me over! "An Miaoyi was shocked to see Qiqige like this, and immediately helped Qiqige up. Then looking at Qiqige who looked ashamed, An Miaoyi smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! I How could I hand you over?"
"And the matter is far from what you think. Even if you are really caught, everything will turn around now that your husband is not in Yi Jing!"
"Qiqige, don't say such silly things in the future. Did you hear that?·························" Seeing the protective meaning in An Miaoyi's words, Qiqige felt more and more guilty. She knew how serious this matter was. Once it was publicized, it would shake An Miaoyi's position as the mistress of the Fengwu Army, so she I also feel very guilty!
After comforting Qiqi Gean Miaoyi, she also rethought the strategy. The most important thing for the current plan is to determine whose hands Chen Wu is now in!
If it falls into the hands of the Coordination Office, An Miaoyi feels that the problem is not big, and Chen Wu has not had time to know more information.
Therefore, even if she is caught by the Coordination Office, Huo San will most likely not know the seriousness of the problem, so she will most likely be able to use some tricks to kill Huo San and silence Chen Wu!
However, if the inner guard is caught, things will become very troublesome. The inner guard only listens to the husband's instructions. Even if he wants to exert influence, he may be beyond his reach!
Just as An Miaoyi was thinking carefully, the maid outside the door suddenly came in and announced.
"Madam, Grandma Wang has something to ask for!" An Miaoyi, who was upset, subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she seemed to suddenly think of something and nodded and said, "Let her in!"
"Yes!" Under An Miaoyi's order, an old woman who looked fifty years old soon appeared in front of An Miaoyi... ···········As the mistress of the Fengwu Army, it was inconvenient for An Miaoyi to communicate with some important ministers. In addition, Ye Mingsheng did not allow An Miaoyi to interfere in government affairs, so in order to be able to communicate secretly Cui Shao and others, An Miaoyi asked this Grandma Wang to do a
The "bridge" is responsible for conveying messages to both sides. So when she saw Grandma Wang, An Miaoyi directly asked: "Uncle, what does he have to say to me?" Facing An Miaoyi's question, Grandma Wang whispered: "Master Cui said that the inner guard The contact between Qiqige and that person has been noticed over there. Master Cui knew that it was not convenient for you, Madam, to come forward, so he took action on his own initiative to deal with that person!"
"Master Cui, please rest assured, Madam, everything will be done very cleanly and will not cause you any trouble!" As soon as these words came out, An Miaoyi realized that it was actually Cui Shao who sent people to get rid of Chen Wu, because Knowing that Cui Shao has always been scheming and has almost never been caught, An Miaoyi felt very relieved about him and felt relieved.
Although the stone in her heart was relieved, An Miaoyi couldn't help but feel a shiver in her heart when she thought that the inner guards and the gang were targeting Qiqige!
Unlike the Coordination Office, which is an open organization, the existence of the internal guards is an open secret among the top officials of the Fengwu Army. Everyone knows their existence, and everyone also knows that they are Ye Mingsheng's shadow, hiding in the darkness. Show up, but once you show up, it will be a new round of bloody storm... The Mistress of Wujun is Ye Mingsheng's bedfellow, but An Miaoyi doesn't know much about them. She only knows that Ji Xian, the current deputy director of the Coordination Office, was born in the internal defense, but as for the other An Miaoyi, she doesn't know. Got it!
Because of the mystery of the inner guards, An Miaoyi is also quite wary of them, and she acts very carefully for fear of being spotted by them!
But he never thought that he would be targeted by the inner guards in the end. Thinking that An Miaoyi was in a relaxed mood just now, he immediately became nervous again.
After adjusting her mood, An Miaoyi said in a deep voice: "I know everything. Is there anything else that Mr. Cui wants you to convey?" Grandma Wang continued: "Master Cui also said that Madam, you are invincible. There is no need to act like this, we should put the overall situation first!" An Miaoyi's expression changed slightly after saying this, and she realized that her uncle had guessed her thoughts.
Although Cui Shao's meaning was euphemistic, it was also very clear and clear, that is, he did not support An Miaoyi's attack on Murong Zhengshan, and hoped that An Miaoyi would put the overall situation first!
Seeing this, An Miaoyi secretly sighed in her heart. Although she still wanted to get rid of Murong Zhengshan after such an incident, she also realized that the opportunity now was not good. Even Cui Shao, who had always supported her, this time Not on his side either.
In addition, there were internal guards watching from the side. Although An Miaoyi was helpless about this, she could only choose to accept the reality and said to Aunt Wang: "Tell Mr. Cui that I know everything. As the mistress, I You should take into account the overall situation..."······························ ··············································· In Lin'an, in a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, a man of short stature but very strong, with a snake-shaped scar on his face, was drinking tea very calmly in the house.
This person is Fang She, the commander of the Qianhu Guards of the Zhennan Army! After the last time he bribed the Jiangnan navy to secretly send Xu Zhaojie back to Shouchun, Fang She sneaked into Jiangnan again under Xu Zhaojie's order!
The original purpose of Fang She's return to Jiangnan was to win over some powerful figures in Jiangnan so that the more than 10,000 Zhennan troops in Chishan Prefecture could withdraw to Jiangnan!
It would even be best if we could get Jiangnan to support a batch of money and food on the pretext of jointly fighting against the Fengwu Army!
Regarding Xu Zhaojie's order, Fang She has been secretly promoting the development of the matter. With Fang She's efforts, the matter was originally progressing smoothly. Lu Jianchao was gradually moved by the words "lips are dead and teeth are cold" and decided to move the affairs of Chishan Mansion. The Zhennan Army was released.
Even on the key issue of supporting the Zhennan Army's money and food, the position has been loosened. Originally, everything was developing in a good direction, but with the arrival of Murong Zhengshan and his party, things changed a lot.
Under Murong Zhengshan's persuasion, Lu Jianchao completely refused to support the Zhennan Army with money and food. Although he was still willing to release the Zhennan Army from Chishan Prefecture, he only dared to release it secretly because he was afraid of Ye Mingsheng's accountability.
This undoubtedly made Fang She feel a little frustrated. He had spent a lot of money and effort on this matter. Seeing that the matter was about to succeed, he did not expect that because of the appearance of Murong Zhengshan, all hope would be lost. Destroyed instantly!
And just when Fang She felt helpless, Xu Zhaojie's order came from Shouchun again! Although he fled back to Huainan in great embarrassment, Xu Zhaojie also understood that the Zhennan Army alone could not stop the Fengwu Army, so he was also very concerned about the trends in Jiangnan and prepared to pull Lu Jian in Jiangnan to fight against Ye Ming Sheng!
Therefore, before Murong Zhengshan arrived at the border of Jiangnan, Xu Zhaojie was already paying close attention to him. If Murong Zhengshan was not surrounded by strict guards and did not have a good opportunity to take action, Xu Zhaojie would have ordered Qianhu Guards to kill Murong Zhengshan. ·····························
