Before Chu Qing could leave, Chen Yan grabbed his sleeve.
"what?"
"Listen to me first."
"Do not listen."
"Sit down and listen to me."
Their eyes met, the air was anxious, dangerous and confusing...
Rolling his eyes, Chu Qing sat down again.
He couldn't figure it out. Didn't it mean that heaven gave great responsibilities to the people here, such as their mind, muscles and bones, body and skin, etc.
It's better for me, "I just arrived" for a full month, but as a result, I got a big responsibility from heaven. I first paid all my debts, then narrowly escaped death in the palace, then made enemies with the family members, and finally got involved in the prince's rebellion. This step is also a step forward. It's so big that most people would mess with it, but I'm just like a horse.
Chu Qing didn't want to take on any big responsibilities, he just wanted to live well.
Chen Yan tore off another piece of rabbit meat and licked his lips: "Brother Yu has a bold idea."
Chu Qing subconsciously moved the small wooden stool back, showing a wary look on his face.
"I want to go to Xiao County." Chen Yan looked at the charcoal fire and said calmly: "Go to Xiao County, go to the mountains and forests, and see it with your own eyes."
Chu Qing was confused.
This idea is not only bold, it is simply bold.
"You, by yourself, go to the territory of the great devil Li Mu of Xiao County, and also go to the mountains and forests where at least a thousand vicious people are hidden?"
"yes."
Chu Qing gave a thumbs up, his face full of teasing.
If this were placed in future generations, it would be equivalent to two small soldiers wandering around, suddenly knowing where the enemy's base camp was hidden, and then shouting, go find the regiment leader, and let the regiment leader go find out the enemy's situation by himself!
"Why, there's no one left in Qianqi Camp, so you have to go."
"There are some idlers, but there is only one."
"Then you let him..."
Midway through his words, Chu Qing noticed Chen Yan's half-smiling expression, and immediately changed his words: "Then he will definitely not be able to go. You see him being idle, but in fact he is very busy."
Chen Yan laughed and finished the rabbit meat in three mouthfuls: "I have made up my mind. It will take more than a month or ten days. I will come back as soon as I go."
In fact, it's not that there are no idle people in Qianqi Camp, it's mainly because this matter is too big.
Wu Daming couldn't talk nonsense. Since there is such a thing, it must be solved.
But there are at least a thousand people hiding in the mountains and forests. Where are they located, where to enter from, what route to take, whether they have a large number of weapons and bows and arrows, how to block the opponent's escape route if they are able to alert the enemy, etc.
These all need to be investigated clearly. Either don't move or move. Once the soldiers are dispatched, these people will definitely be killed.
So he must go and explore first. Wu Daming had just ran out. The group of people in the forest might be all soldiers now. Chen Yan had absolute confidence in his own skills, so he was prepared to go deep into the tiger's den alone. If he sent other men, Once exposed or caught, all previous efforts will be in vain.
In addition, there are all villains in the mountains and forests. Even if dozens or hundreds of them are let go, these people will become rogues, and there is no telling how many people in the nearby official roads will suffer.
After saying what he was thinking, Chu Qing sighed and did not express any opinions.
Chen Yan pulled out the wine jar from under the wooden bench and poured a glass for Chu Qing: "Qianqiying Yamen Office, I leave it to my dear brother. You can give orders while I'm away."
"One thing." Chu Qing did not take the wine glass, raised a finger and asked seriously: "Why do you believe me?"
Chen Yan was a professional and his words were well-founded. Chu Qing could not refute these, nor was he qualified to refute them. He was just curious about this matter.
Although Qianqiying is said to be the royal bastards, in fact, these bastards may be the sharpest sword in the emperor's hand. They will always be loyal to the emperor and secretly monitor the officials to arrest them.
Chen Yan did not give the deputy commander's belt back to others, but actually handed over the command to him. Chu Qing was puzzled by this.
When Chen Yan was in the capital, his deputy commander was just a decoration, but once Chen Yan left the capital, the deputy commander would really be...the deputy commander.
"You are a good person." Chen Yan smiled slightly: "I know you are a good person."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry. One good guy card a day, he was really an injustice.
"When I first met you, you saw the accounts, other accounts, those accounts, I only knew there was something fishy about them, but I didn't know that Master Wei had always kept them in my arms. After you read them, you laughed and cursed, saying that those accounts were done There are a lot of loopholes in your account, but there is anger in your eyes. When you arrived at the Hubu Yamen office and insulted the officials of the Hubu, you learned that all the records in the accounts were official silver. Official silver obtained by local governments from the people. .”
Chu Qing didn't say anything. He admitted that he was very angry, or angry.
Chen Yan continued: "When we were in Qu Mansion, the refugee boy was lying in a pool of blood. You wanted to kill the Qu family father and son, right?"
"It seems... right."
"When you met those ministers last night, your eyes were full of greed. You were still holding so many banknotes, but in the end, you handed them over to Miss Tao and asked her to find ways to help the refugees. At that time , there is no greed in your eyes, only relief, with a bit of worry."
Chu Qing laughed sarcastically and touched his nose: "What does this have to do with you handing over the command of Qianqi Camp to me?"
"If you're thirsty, don't drink the stolen spring water; if you're hot, don't live in the shade of a bad tree." Chen Yan stared at Chu Qing and said solemnly: "The Li family's disciples and old officials are all over the court, and so is the King of Wu. But I, Qianqi Camp, secretly control I don’t know how many courtiers have secrets. These secrets can all be used as sharp blades to attack Li and Wu. How dare you hand this sharp blade to others, to King Langya? It’s inappropriate. You know what happened at Yuan Ye, but you handed it to the young master. Zhang, but he hates evil as much as he hates enemies. He holds a sharp blade and hurts himself first before hurting others. No matter who is holding this sharp blade, even if he is relieved of his duties as deputy commander, he will not know how to use the weapon after he is relieved of his duties. With this sharp blade, he can put his ministers in danger. The place of death can also be used as a threat to give orders to villains, villains in high positions. This sharp blade needs to be held in the hands of smart people, and it needs to be held in the hands of people who care about the country and the people. A wise brother is a smart person and knows how powerful it is. , I dare not wield the blade at will, and Chu Xiandi is a person who cares about the country and the people..."
Chu Qing waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Okay, okay, don't put a high hat on me there, I understand, you just tell the secret and that's it. Qianqiying climbs the wall every day. , has mastered a lot of secrets, the secrets that can blackmail the ministers, and they have sharp blades and this and that, they are very powerful, I understand."
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Xiandi is a smart man, just understand."
Chu Qing curled his lips.
What is sharp but not sharp is secrets, secrets that can be heard by climbing over the wall, or in other words, information.
This information is the secret of the court ministers who cannot see the light and are not known to the public.
There are only a handful of people involved in this matter, Tao Shaozhang, Chang Xian, Wei Changfeng, Qiu Wanshan, plus himself.
Tao Shaozhang couldn't get rid of the sand in his eyes. Just knowing that the big devil of Xiao County was greedy for money, he wanted to turn into a self-destruct truck and die with the Li family. If he was in charge of Qianqi Camp, even if it was only for a few days, he would have the right to take a look or find other detectives. Those who knew the secrets of some ministers, if they knew that bastards like the Li family were all over the court, they would have died of cerebral thrombosis directly in place.
Langya Wang Changxian is not included in the consideration. This kid has a criminal record and was easy to make friends with ministers in the past. What if he returns to his old habit after learning these secrets and secretly bribes or blackmails ministers?
As for Wei Changfeng, I basically don't think about it. The old man is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. What does it mean to temporarily become the deputy commander of the Qianqi Battalion?
It's Qiu Wanshan. As long as his IQ exceeds double digits, he will not consider this guy. If he really learns the "secrets" of the courtiers in the capital, he will not be able to take off from where he is.
Chu Qing thought about it for a moment and found that he was the only one who could handle this temporary job. He was the general among the dwarfs.
First of all, he was originally a copycat, but now everyone knows that he is the deputy commander of Qianqiying.
Secondly, I followed this case throughout the whole process. The Li family, Zhou Youwei, and King Wu all knew the ins and outs.
The most important thing is that Changxian listens to himself more. If it were someone else, he might not be able to control Changxian. In addition, many things have made progress, which is more or less related to him.
After all, it is still an issue of "authority". There are too many younger brothers in the Li family. If you want to cut off their wings, you have to access some of the things that were investigated after the establishment of Qianqi Camp. Chen Yan is not sure to let others know about these things.
"Okay, that's it. After you leave, I will reluctantly take command and control."
Chen Yan nodded: "I know I can trust you more than a virtuous brother."
"Don't talk nonsense. I never said I was a good person, let alone someone who cares about the country and the people."
Chen Yan laughed: "Brother Fool doesn't know who is a good person or who is concerned about the country and the people, but he knows that those who say they are good people all day long and who say that they are concerned about the country and the people are all sanctimonious hypocrites."
Chu Qing was slightly startled.
This makes sense.
It’s not like that. I just say oh, I’m an honest person all day long, and then I study dishonest things every day, or those ministers, open their mouths and shut up. I am loyal to the emperor, I am patriotic. When I go to court, I study how to buy refugees for zero yuan. This is especially true for people who live in the house, especially scholars. They shout on the flower boat every day that they are a gentleman, and then turn around and ask the young lady if they can get a discount. I will always come.
Chen Yan stood up and said, "Brother Fool will set off tonight to Qianqi Camp. Brother Xian is here to help."
"So anxious?"
"This is a serious matter and cannot be delayed."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, he waved without looking back, and a man in Confucian robes walked in quietly.
Although the man is not old, about thirty, he has a straight waist. What is worth noting is that there is a row of keys hanging on his waist, at least a dozen.
"Jiang Yuesheng, Qianqiying Xiaoqi, is in charge of the private treasury of the government office. If my dear brother is in doubt or needs to read confidential matters, just look for him."
Jiang Yuesheng bent down and saluted, and his voice was calm: "General, I have met Mr. Chu."
Chu Qing asked strangely: "You call yourself a junior general and have an official position in the Ministry of War?"
The reason why it is strange is that the official positions of Qianqiying are all held in the palace, rather than being conferred by the imperial court.
"Although the last general works in the Qianqiying Yamen Office, he is also the sixth-rank Zhenwei Colonel of the Ministry of War."
"Zhuo, the people in charge of the warehouse are all higher than me." Chu Qing suddenly remembered something: "I used to be a small flag and didn't say anything. Now I have real power. The deputy commander of Qianqiying has a salary." Bar."
Chen Yan smiled and said: "Of course there is."
Chu Qing was elated: "Is it okay for me to pick it up at the Ministry of Household Affairs when the day comes?"
"You don't need to bother me, my dear brother. Brother Fool, you can just go and get it."
"That's good, that's good, haha."
Chu Qing was very happy. It was great to work in the same class and receive two salaries.
Jiang Yuesheng glanced at Chu Qing slightly, with a strange look on his face.
Vice Commander Chen went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to receive the salary of the deputy commander of Qianqiying. Why are you so happy?
"Wait!" Noticing Jiang Yuesheng's strange gaze, Chu Qing also reacted and looked at Chen Yan suspiciously: "Should you lead it, or should you help me lead it and then hand it over to me?"
Chen Yan bent down and saluted Chu Qing: "While Brother Yu is away from the capital, Brother Xian is here to help. Please..."
Before he finished saying the word "ci", Chen Yan suddenly turned around and ran out of the Moon Gate with a "swish".
