Imperial City, Prince Ling’s Mansion.
Being in a desperate situation, he fought back and really cracked a crack in the originally tight siege. Not only was I able to breathe, but I also had room to move forward.
Although such a desperate counterattack is beautiful, it is still far from completely getting rid of the current predicament.
Of course, the spirit king's men are now as powerful as a rainbow, and the morale gathered by the Jedi counterattack is not a joke, it is the confidence to survive. However, how to reverse this situation and escape from this situation requires careful step-by-step steps. The main thing is to continue to show your strength, and at the same time build momentum to suppress King Jing, and throw away the "weak" hat.
The people below were very motivated, but Yang Shu didn't dare to relax at all. Even the follow-up counterattack from King Jing has arrived, especially at the local government office in the imperial city. It is said that the note for impeaching the chief official and accepting the donation has been reported to them, and Yang Shu's name was directly named in it, and Bai Changqing was also included in the report. He also hugged me in.
If reputation is as good as King Jing's, then Yang Shu's benchmark within the system is now Bai Changqing. If Bai Changqing is raped, King Ling will no longer want to gain the approval of any big boss in the civil service group.
So now for the Spirit King, although the situation has improved due to his Jedi counterattack, it is still very frustrating, and it is difficult to predict the future trend.
However, early this morning at the back door of Prince Ling's Mansion, a servant from the family hurriedly came over and said that someone was looking for him. He showed a wine jar and handed over a note. The note said that the prince would see him when he saw the wine jar.
"Where are the people?" Yang Shu had just finished washing. Last night, he and several of his counselors discussed until midnight, and then slept for two hours. Now he was feeling a little lack of energy, so he relied on a pot of strong tea to refresh himself. Seeing his personal bodyguard coming to report, and the familiar aroma of wine from the jar, he felt an inexplicable sensation in his heart, and he had a premonition of something.
"Go back to your lord, the visitor is waiting outside the back door. But it seems that he is not a monk, just an ordinary person. His appearance is featureless. I don't know his identity, so I just let people watch him and not touch him." The inner guard spoke very carefully, not Dare to take any unauthorized action.
The Spirit King put down the wine jar, did not drink, threw it aside and said: "Let someone check if there is anything wrong with this wine, and then lead the person from the back door to my study. Remember, since they used the back door, we must be more careful. , give that person a cover after entering the house."
Others might not be able to smell this wine, but Yang Shu could. Even just from the style of the wine jar, he knew that it was the rarest two-year-old Wuliangye on the market. As a drunkard, Yang Shu was very perseverant in being able to resist drinking. At the same time, I guessed in my mind that the identity of the person he found might have something to do with the person behind the wine.
Yang Shu was not in a hurry. After washing, he went to have breakfast, and then slowly went to the study room. He saw two royal guards looking at a middle-aged man in simple clothes in the study room. The three of them all stood and saluted when they saw Yang Shu coming in. But the man just bowed and raised his hands without saying a word.
"What? Do you think you are not worthy of being greeted by me when you see me?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" The man said, his expression a bit eager to explain, but he opened his mouth and made a noise while pointing his finger at his mouth.
"My lord, this man has no tongue, he is mute." The guard next to him pinched the man's chin and looked carefully. There was only half an inch of tongue left inside, and the cut was neat. Although it had healed, it could be seen that it had been cut. It fell off and was cut very cleanly.
Yang Shu snorted, but didn't move over to take a look.
After sitting down, Yang Shu pointed to the jar of wine on the table and said, "The wine is good, but not easy to buy. I guess it was Shen who asked you to come, right?"
Hearing this, the man nodded without hesitation and showed his Xuan Qingwei badge. Although his tongue was cut off, his ears and brain were fine. He was one of Wang Jian's guards, and his tongue was cut out by him in anger after he failed to extract a confession during a mission. He was sent to carry out this top-secret mission because of Wang Jian's trust.
Seeing the other party nodding in recognition, Yang Shu finally let down his guard a little.
The person surnamed Shen was a popular figure in Xuanqingwei. Now he was promoted to the fifth rank because of his talent. He stood firmly on the same side as Jiang Cheng and Pang Ban. He was a neutral force, so Yang Shu was not too worried about Shen Hao stumbling upon him.
But it's also strange why Shen Hao suddenly sent him to find him. Logically speaking, shouldn't the Xuanqingwei group be silent and wait for the final victory or defeat?
"Why did the person named Shen call you a mute?"
The man took out a copper bar from his arms and knew very well that he did not hand it directly to Yang Shu. Instead, he handed it to a royal guard beside him who had been pressing his shoulder, indicating that he would hand it over after checking.
The main purpose was to check whether there was anything strange or dangerous on the copper bars. After everything was correct, an internal guard presented the items to Yang Shu.
There was no seal on the copper strip, so Yang Shu took it and unfolded it. After reading a few lines of content, he closed it and looked at the man in front of him playfully. He smiled and said, "The one named Shen didn't say anything else? Forget it, sending a mute like you here is already a statement."
After waving his hand, Yang Shu asked his men to reward the man with a silver note of one hundred taels, and then dismissed him. Then he called several of his main counselors over. Afterwards, the covering circle was set up again in the study room.
"This is what Shen, the Xuanqingwei man, sent here just now. You can pass it around and take a look." Yang Shu, with a smile on his face, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He didn't know whether it was because of the strong tea or because of the happy occasion. He suddenly felt much more energetic.
Yang Shu had heard this saying before: sleepiness meets pillow. He thought that this kind of thing would not happen in reality because it was too coincidental, but now it really happened to him.
The contents in the copper strip are very detailed. It is no longer a simple document, but a very detailed case file, and it is the kind of file that has reached the standard of closing the case. It contains analysis, deduction and key empirical evidence.
Why would someone named Shen throw something like this over? After reading the dossier, Yang Shu understood the first few pages: it was just revenge.
The case itself was a street assassination that a man named Shen experienced last year and was almost killed. At that time, the man named Shen happened to be related to King Shou. Many people suspected that King Shou wanted to kill the man named Shen. After a thorough investigation, they found that it was actually King Jing who sent someone to do it. The purpose was just to take advantage of Shen's life. Just pouring dirty water on King Shou.
Judging from the situation at the time, King Jing's idea should be simple: if you become the best, it doesn't matter if you fail. I never thought that someone could really find out about him and choose to hand it over to the Spirit King at such a wonderful time.
After several counselors gathered together to read it quickly, their faces were all filled with joy.
"Your Majesty! This is a good thing! If we use it well, we can not only escape from the predicament, but we can even completely reverse the direction of the wind and drive King Jing into despair!"
