Of course, it was also a serious crime for the Huashan faction to fight against Xichang, but who could guarantee that people like Yue Buqun and Feng Qingyang would be captured without mercy?
Once the Huashan faction violently resisted, the sensation caused would be more than a Western factory could bear.
Therefore, the imperial court is generally unwilling to intervene in Jianghu affairs, because these people are lawless and unscrupulous, and no one can feel their pulse.
Mo Qianjun had time to tip off Yue Buqun because Xichang was carefully considering how to deal with the Huashan faction and how big the issue should be to avoid both sides suffering.
There are really too few people who know Yue Buqun, and there is simply no trace of him.
Thinking about it this way, Yue Buqun felt a little unsure. He knocked on the table and thought for a while, then said: "You avoid this matter and don't interfere."
No matter how great Lin Pingzhi's sin was, it was far less serious than his own sin of befriending Jin Yiwei.
If a secret service agency like Jinyiwei had a close relationship with him, then it wouldn't be Xichang who wanted to investigate him, but the emperor. This would be much more serious than befriending an important minister like Mr. Yang.
Yue Buqun would not sit in Huashan and wait for the West Factory to come to his door. Now that he knew about it, he would take the initiative.
Yue Buqun immediately left for Beijing again to meet with the West Factory Admiral.
Going straight in, Yue Buqun went straight to the Xichang Admiral's Mansion. Lin Pingzhi was in the hands of Xichang and suffered from long nights and many dreams. It would be better to rescue him as soon as possible. There was no time for Yue Buqun to investigate the details.
But after all, the Admiral of Xichang was in a high position and it was difficult for Yue Buqun to cut through the mess quickly as a commoner. This required a middleman, and Mo Qianjun was not suitable. Yue Buqun chose Xu Tai for this person.
Xu Tai is his disciple and Lin Pingzhi's senior brother. In every aspect, he is bound to do so.
At this time, Xu Taiguan was the commander of the capital. He was of the second rank, subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and obeyed the orders of the Ministry of War.
Of course, the Admiral of Xichang does not need to care about a second-rank official, but Xu Tai comes from a family of military generals, with three generations of generals, and is well established in the court. The most important thing is that he was adopted as an adopted son by the emperor and given a national surname. This status was very important. Even a great eunuch like Eunuch Gu felt it was unnecessary to offend Xu Tai on some trivial matters.
Sure enough, Yue Buqun met the Eunuch Gu, the admiral of the West Factory, smoothly.
Father-in-law Gu was very handsome, with a fair face and no beard. He smiled before he spoke, but there was always a hint of sinisterness in his smile.
Eunuch Gu asked, "Master Xu is a rare visitor, why did you think of visiting my governor?"
Xu Tai was young and upright in temperament, and he did not mince words when he spoke. He said, "Master Governor, I will never go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything."
Mr. Gu said, "Master Xu, please speak."
Xu Tai pointed at Yue Buqun beside him and said, "This is the late general's mentor, Mr. Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan Sect, who is known as the "Junzi Sword" in the world. "
Eunuch Gu's expression changed slightly.
Xu Tai said: "It seems that the master knows the purpose of the general's visit."
Eunuch Gu didn't expect Yue Buqun to arrive so quickly. He was still thinking about how to deal with the matter when Yue Buqun came to his door. What's even more worrying is that Yue Buqun was so well-informed.
Yue Buqun stretched out his hand to stop Xu Tai, fearing that he was young and energetic and would complicate the problem.
Yue Buqun clasped his fists and said, "Master Du Gong, Sir Xu is just recommending Lord Du Gong to Mr. Yue."
In front of the powerful Admiral of Xichang, Yue Buqun remained neither humble nor overbearing.
Eunuch Gu said coldly: "Master Yue is so brave. He dares to come directly to Xichang to find our family. Aren't you afraid that our family will punish you and your disciples for the same crime?"
Yue Buqun was very calm and asked: "Until now, Yue still doesn't know what crime my apprentice has committed. Please ask the governor to make it clear."
Eunuch Gu said coldly: "Trespassing to the Xichang Admiral's Mansion and spying on the secrets of the imperial court will be punishable by death. Considering his young age, he would not do such a thing. It's not like there is someone behind the scenes."
It turns out that this is how it involves him, and it really makes sense.
Yue Buqun said: "Yue did not send his disciples to spy on the court's secrets, and my disciples themselves would not want to spy on Xichang. There must be some misunderstanding in this."
Eunuch Gu said coldly: "Your master Yue doesn't
He is an ordinary person and is fully qualified to spy on Xichang. It would be too childish for you to just misunderstand and expose this matter. "
Yue Buqun was silent for a moment. Although Eunuch Gu's words didn't sound good, they were not completely unreasonable. If people from Xichang came to Huashan and said they were lost and walked in randomly, Yue Buqun wouldn't believe it.
Yue Buqun said: "The Governor is right, it was Yue who was abrupt. However, since it is a misunderstanding, there is a way to explain it. I wonder how the Governor is willing to show his noble hand?"
Yue Buqun didn't talk nonsense and just threw money at him. If the Huashan faction didn't miss the money, it would be better than falling out with Xichang.
Eunuch Gu was furious: "You bribed me, do you still want me to ask for a price?"
What annoyed Eunuch Gu the most was Yue Buqun, a pretentious scholar. When he saw him, he wanted to see that group of civil servants who claimed to be noble, full of benevolence and morality, and full of male thieves and female prostitutes.
Originally, for Xu Tai's sake, Eunuch Gu didn't want to be so mean, but Yue Buqun's tone was really irritating.
Eunuch Gu said coldly: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, you will know after the investigation. I believe Xichang will tell the truth to Master Yue."
The prison in Xichang has this ability. It can try the case completely according to its own ideas, and it can get whatever result it wants.
Xu Tai was anxious. He looked down on these eunuchs to begin with. How could his junior brother do something big? He stepped forward and his master allowed him to make conditions. What else did he want?
Xu Tai stepped forward to speak, but Yue Buqun stopped him again.
Before coming, Yue Buqun had actually not thought about what to do. Yue Buqun had always been concerned about the eunuch assassin's "Evil Sword Technique" in Xichang. He didn't know how advanced this ancient father-in-law was in martial arts.
But when they met, I realized that I was wrong. Eunuch Gu didn't know martial arts. So the fact that the assassin said "it was Eunuch Gu who taught him swordsmanship" should mean that Eunuch Gu had the "Evil Sword Manual" but he didn't practice it himself. .
Yue Buqun glanced at the three eunuchs who were standing next to Eunuch Gu. Although they were slightly bowed, their body posture and footwork were that of Lian Jiazi.
Moreover, most people could not see the positions occupied by the three of them, but Yue Buqun could tell at a glance that they were very particular about how they stood to separate Eunuch Gu from themselves. Once there was an emergency, they could quickly protect Eunuch Gu. stand up.
It's not necessarily directed at oneself, it should be like this in normal times. The three of them are not casual, but cooperative.
Yue Buqun sneered in his heart. Since Eunuch Gu didn't know martial arts, his lineup might be effective for others, but it wouldn't be the same for him.
Yue Buqun put the sneer in his heart on his face and raised the corners of his mouth.
Eunuch Gu was stunned, not knowing what Yue Buqun meant. He couldn't help but stare at Yue Buqun's face. Once he met Yue Buqun's eyes, he could no longer look away.
