Liaoyang, Dongning
In a certain mansion that has an ordinary appearance but is very exquisite inside, a charming woman who is very conservatively dressed but full of charm in her eyebrows is patiently arranging flowers... ········
But at this moment, a maid came to the woman's side with small steps and said softly:
"Mrs. Jin! Master Zhang is here to visit!"
Kobayakawa Takahide, known as "Mrs. Kim," couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard this. She instinctively didn't want to see the other party.
But Kobayakawa Takahide then thought about it and thought that he was now taking shelter in Liaoyang under the alias of Mrs. Jin. He was on someone else's territory, so it was best not to antagonize the other party. He immediately sighed involuntarily, and then whispered to the maid:
"Invite Mr. Zhang in!"
"yes!"
After a while, Chang Xiaowen, the Coordinator of Thousand Households, walked up to Kobayakawa Takahide. Although it was not the first time he saw Kobayakawa Takahide, Chang Xiaowen still sighed at the other party's coquettishness and charm.
However, Zhang Xiaowen was not an ordinary person who could coordinate and coordinate thousands of households. He quickly recovered and bowed his hands to Kobayakawa Takahide:
"Zhang is disturbing Mrs. Jin!"
Seeing the hypocritical smile on Chang Xiaowen's face, Kobayakawa Takahide was a little disgusted and wanted to vomit, but on the surface he still said lightly:
"Master Zhang, I can't usually invite guests like you to me. It's my honor to have you come to visit me today..." ········”
"Xiao Xi, hurry up and serve Mr. Zhang some fragrant tea!"
Although he knew that the other party was telling lies, Chang Xiaowen couldn't help but feel a little happy to be able to say such words from such a beautiful woman.
At this time, a well-behaved and clever maid also served Zhang Xiaowen a cup of fragrant tea.
Feeling the fragrance of the tea, Zhang Xiaowen knew that this was a very rare and good tea, but he had no intention of speaking.
Before coming to visit, Zhang Xiaowen had already decided that he would never eat anything in this mansion!
After all, he had just been promoted from Hundred Households to Thousand Households, and his concubine Xinna also gave birth to a little son. It was a time when the spring breeze was full of horseshoe disease, and career and love were both harvested. He didn't want to die in an unknown situation. Paint!
Looking at the exquisite flower arrangement on the table, Chang Xiaowen wanted to say a few polite words to Kobayakawa Takahide to let this femme fatale relax her guard so that she can get to the main topic of the day. He immediately praised Kobayakawa Takahide's superb flower arrangement skills!
Kobayakawa Takahide also saw Chang Xiaowen's purpose, so he also exchanged greetings with Chang Xiaowen. After chatting for about a cup of tea, Chang Xiaowen saw the opportunity and said:
"I heard that Mrs. Jin sent a letter to others some time ago?"
As soon as these words came out, Kobayakawa Takahide also realized Chang Xiaowen's intention, but he still said calmly:
"Master Zhang, you know that I have lived in the palace for many years, and there is always some business that needs to be dealt with there... ····”
Seeing that Kobayakawa Takahide was playing tricks on him, Chang Xiaowen continued to say without changing his expression:
"Yes, Mrs. Jin, you have been in the palace for many years, but how did I hear that this letter was sent to Luo'an?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Chang Xiaowen's face also faded, and he looked at Kobayakawa Takahide with cold eyes.
She didn't panic when she saw Chang Hsiao-wen showing off his dagger and Kobayakawa Takahide, but just as she was thinking about making up a reason to kill Chang Hsiao-wen, Chang Hsiao-wen's cold voice sounded in her ears again.
"Mrs. Jin, everything else is easy to say and I can respect you three points, but this matter is a big deal, so I advise you to think about it carefully before talking!"
Kobayakawa Takahide was slightly moved when he heard this, and the image of that man quickly appeared in his mind!
Because he knew that he had a relationship with him, Zhang Xiaowen, the head of the Liaoyang Coordination Office, was always very polite to him!
And now the only thing that can make him do this is that person's will!
Thinking of that person Kobayakawa Takahide, he couldn't help but recall that night. A flash of humiliation flashed in his eyes, but his body felt faintly hot!
Looking at Kobayakawa Takahide who was meditating in front of him, Chang Xiaowen did not urge him, but quietly waited for the other party to speak!
According to the information revealed by some colleagues, the relationship between this beautiful Japanese temptress and the commander is somewhat unclear. She seems to be the mistress kept by the commander. I just don’t know why she is not in Yi Jing but stays in Yi Jing. Liaoyang Dongning·····························
Although he didn't know the various reasons for this, simply knowing that this woman was related to the handsome man was enough to make Zhang Xiaowen a little afraid!
After all, the power of this pillow style should not be underestimated, and Kobayakawa Takahide is so charming. If the marshal becomes obsessed with her and offends her, wouldn't he be seeking death?
In fact, in order to climb up the ladder, Chang Xiaowen also considered making friends with Kobayakawa Takahide, trying to get him to say a nice word for him in front of the commander!
But first I thought that if Kobayakawa Takahide was favored, he would not live in Dongning and would have moved to Yijing. Secondly, I also heard that the eldest lady was disgusted with this Japanese temptress, so she curried favor with Kobayakawa Takahide, which was undoubtedly I offended the eldest lady!
Therefore, based on these factors, Chang Xiaowen also has complicated feelings towards Kobayakawa Takahide, so he simply decided not to offend her, and as long as Kobayakawa Takahide didn't go too far, he wouldn't bother to care!
In fact, it was not because the top had issued a top-secret order to investigate the letter, why Chang Xiaowen would not have come to Kobayakawa Takahide!
Isn't it nice for him to spend half a day at home with his beautiful wife and concubine?
But the problem is that the orders from above are very strict, and Zhang Xiaowen's political sense also made him realize that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Based on experience, Zhang Xiaowen knew that this matter was most likely handled by the commander himself. Therefore, as long as he, Zhang Xiaowen, handled this matter clearly and beautifully, there would be no doubt that he would show his face in front of the commander... ·····················
Zhang Xiaowen is very clear that under the current situation where the top-level structure of the unified coordination office remains unchanged, he, a thousand households, has achieved the top position in the unified coordination office. If he wants to climb up, he will most likely be transferred to the system of press supervision!
And if you want to do this, you need the approval of the commander-in-chief. Either a noble person can say a few nice words for him in front of the commander-in-chief, or he can work hard to let the commander-in-chief see his ability!
Noble people are rare, so the only thing that Chang Xiaowen can do is to seize the opportunity, and he will not hesitate to break up with Kobayakawa Takahide for this!
Looking at Chang Xiaowen with a serious and solemn expression, Kobayakawa Takahide also felt a little headache. She knew that Chang Xiaowen looked greedy and lustful despite his appearance!
But in fact, there is no simple person who can manage thousands of households in a secret service agency like the Central Coordination Office. Chang Xiaowen is not as easy to deal with as he seems!
Thinking of this, Kobayakawa Takahide sighed, and said quietly:
"Two months ago, Toyotomi Ieyasu passed away. Toyotomi Hidetada succeeded to the throne and became the new crown prince of East Island. After discussing with Sanfengxing and the five elders, he decided to attack Baekje and Silla, and then use Baekje and Silla. Luo Wei mobilized his troops, launched an attack on Gongdu, and tried to completely rule the Gongdu Peninsula!"
"The entire East Island is currently preparing for war, and it is expected that the official attack on Baekje Silla will take place in half a year..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaowen was shocked, and then looked at Kobayakawa Takahide with some doubts. He knew that the woman in front of him was once a high-ranking member of the Black Dragon Society and was very well-informed about the news about Dongdao. However, the matter was so important that he still did not dare to fully understand it. Believe in Takahide Kobayakawa!
After Kobayakawa Takahide revealed the news, Chang Xiaowen fell into deep thought. He felt that the news was probably true!
After all, although the focus of the Coordination Office's work is in Dazhou, the Coordination Office has always had special funds to place spies on Dongdao, the palace capital, in recent years!
And if the news of preparations for war involves the entire country, you can't hide it even if you want to. It won't be long before the spies from the East Island Coordination Office send the news!
However, although this news is very important, Zhang Xiaowen feels that this is not the reason why the commander is paying attention. He looked at Kobayakawa Takahide deeply and said:
"Mrs. Jin, can you tell me who you are mailing this letter to?"
Hearing this, Kobayakawa Takahide glanced at Chang Xiaowen and then said with a half-smile:
"I dare to tell you, Zhang Xiaowen, do you dare to listen?"
Faced with Kobayakawa Takahide's provocation, although Chang Xiaowen was a little angry, he did feel hesitant in his heart!
After working in the Coordination Office for so many years, he has a deep understanding of the truth: you know what you should know, and don't pry about things you shouldn't know... ·············
Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing!
The above only asked him to investigate the content of the letter, but did not ask him to investigate who the letter was written to. This explains the problem!
If his investigation reveals something he shouldn't know, he will be in trouble!
At this time, Kobayakawa Takahide also seemed to see Chang Xiaowen's fear, and a slightly satisfied smile appeared on his beautiful face:
"It will be noon soon. Mr. Zhang, you are busy with official duties, so I won't let you have dinner in your humble home!"
Faced with Kobayakawa Takahide's "expulsion order", Chang Xiaowen looked at her coldly. Although he still didn't know what Kobayakawa Takahide was hiding, he was sure that Kobayakawa Takahide must have concealed the most important thing!
And if he reports this investigation result to the superiors now, Zhang Xiaowen believes that this will definitely not satisfy the superiors!
Thinking that this was a good opportunity to show his face in front of the marshal, Chang Xiaowen was undoubtedly very excited. After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind to have a showdown with Kobayakawa Takahide!
I saw Chang Xiaowen taking out a pamphlet from his arms and throwing it in front of Kobayakawa Takahide and said coldly:
"Mrs. Jin, you are too proud. If you were not prepared, how could Zhang come to visit you! You might as well take a look at what this is... ········”
Looking at the pamphlet that Chang Xiaowen took out in front of her, Kobayakawa Takahide had an ominous premonition in her heart. After hesitating for a while, she picked up the pamphlet and started reading it.
After reading the two pages carefully, Kobayakawa Takahide became more and more frightened. She never thought that Chang Xiaowen would have such a trick to deal with her!
Putting down the pamphlet, Kobayakawa Takahide pretended to be calm and said to Chang Xiaowen:
"What do you want to do?"
Zhang Xiaowen said in a deep voice:
"Mrs. Jin, you have a relationship with the commander. Zhang doesn't have the guts to touch you! But that doesn't mean I don't dare to touch others!"
"I have long investigated the remnants of the Black Dragon Society in the book. Logically speaking, they all deserve to be executed for their crimes. It is my unshirkable responsibility as Zhang, the Coordinator of Thousand Households, to deal with them!"
"It's just that first of all, they calmed down and didn't cause me any trouble, and secondly, for your sake, I barely spared their lives!"
"But face is mutual. Since Mrs. Jin doesn't give Zhang any face now, so I can't do anything at the top, then there is no need for me to keep these people alive. Mrs. Jin, please prepare to collect their bodies." Bar!"
Faced with Chang Xiaowen's threat, Kobayakawa Takahide immediately burst into tears and said hatefully:
"How dare you Zhang Xiaowen? You can't survive even if you touch them!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaowen sneered and said:
"Mrs. Jin, I remind you that this is in Dongning, not in the Black Dragon Club! And I am Qian Hu from the Coordination Office... ··”
Feeling the confidence in Chang Xiaowen's words, Kobayakawa Takahide was also a little angry, but there were not many good solutions. After all, those subordinates and money were the capital for her future success, and now she lacked the capital for a showdown with Chang Xiaowen!
In order to preserve his capital for turning around, Kobayakawa Takahide suppressed his anger and said coldly:
"Muto Zhenaki was promoted to the fifth elder. He will be fully responsible for the war against Silla and Baekje!"
Zhang Xiaowen's expression changed when he heard this, and he knew that Kobayakawa Takahide must be hiding something from him. Even at this moment, she may not have told everything!
But looking at Kobayakawa Takahide's current expression, Chang knew that if he kept pushing, the two sides might really be deadlocked!
To be honest, Chang Xiaowen is still very afraid of Kobayakawa Takahide, a woman who is like a snake and a scorpion, and he doesn't want to offend Kobayakawa Takahide to death!
After hesitating for a while, Chang Xiaowen felt that the current news was almost enough to communicate. Immediately, his expression changed from the cold and ruthless expression before, and he said to Kobayakawa Takahide with a smile:
"Mrs. Jin, you were so offended just now!"
"Zhang, I want to apologize to you. The order from above is really too strict, and I have no choice but to do it. I'm so sorry!"
"Your Excellency has a lot, but please don't be as knowledgeable as me!"
After the words fell, the Coordination Office Liaoyang Qianhu really pretended to bow to Kobayakawa Takahide with a sincere expression, but Kobayakawa Takahide only had one word for this!
"roll!"
Everyone can guess who this Muto Masaaki is!
