However, when she asked this question, Zhou Yinzhi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I didn't get it."
Jiang Xuening was startled for a moment: "No?"
Zhou Yinzhi said: "The letter is not on that person. It seems that there is someone in the Heavenly Sect to respond. According to him, the one I caught today was just out to investigate the situation, and he dared not hand over the letter until the right time. Because the incident happened in a hurry, I thought this matter must be extremely important to the second girl, so I reported it first before I had a detailed questioning, and I don't know how to deal with it next?"
Jiang Xuening's eyes fell on Zhou Yinzhi, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said, "Is this person still in your house? Take me to have a look."
It was late at night.
Zhou Yinzhi didn't expect Jiang Xuening to be so decisive, but after thinking about it, he realized that he was a member of the Jinyiwei after all. I'm afraid Jiang Xuening didn't dare to trust him absolutely, so it would be more appropriate to take a look at such a big matter in person.
Therefore, there is no obstacle.
On the contrary, the porter guarding outside Jiang's mansion was startled when he saw that his second daughter was going out at night. Jiang Xuening only told Ruo's family to say that she was accompanied by Zhou Yinzhi to go out on business, please don't worry at home, and then go out.
Zhou Yinzhi really didn't lie at all.
The man was indeed **** in his house.
It's just that Jiang Xuening suddenly discovered that it hadn't been half a month, and Zhou Yinzhi had actually changed a mansion. In Liushu Alley, although it was still not luxurious, but the blue bricks and black tiles looked more shabby than the original one. The hospital has improved too much.
There was also a Jinyi guard in dark black guarding the door.
It seems that they are Zhou Yinzhi's subordinates.
It's not surprising to change the residence. If Zhou Yinzhi can't make money, then he is not the Zhou Yinzhi that Jiang Xuening knows, but he has developed into a trustworthy subordinate in such a short time after entering Jinyiwei, which is not a small fact.
When entering through the door, Jiang Xuening couldn't help but take another look at the Jin Yiwei guarding the door.
Zhou Yinzhi said: "My name is Wei Xi, and her martial arts skills are very good."
Jiang Xuening nodded.
Wei Xi looked like a young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very reserved, but when Zhou Yinzhi introduced him, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at Jiang Xuening, obviously curious about who could receive such courtesy from his boss.
Unexpectedly, it was an extremely beautiful girl who came into view.
In a moment of accident, I almost stared straight at him.
When he came back to his senses, he found that the girl in front of him was looking at him with a half-smile look, her eyes were not sharp, but somehow he blushed, and immediately buried her head down.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yinzhi frowned imperceptibly, and only asked, "Is he still there?"
Wei Xi immediately restrained his mind and replied: "I haven't left half a step, and I'm still inside."
Zhou Yinzhi then brought people in.
Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows and intentionally took another look at the young man named Wei Xi before she started to walk in after Zhou Yin, while Wei Xi fell behind Jiang Xuening with a feeling of turmoil in her heart.
People were locked in the woodshed in the southwest corner of the mansion.
After the door was pushed open, it was clean inside.
A thick hemp rope and a chain made of refined iron tied the man behind the pillar. When entering through the door, he could see that the man was wearing the black robe worn by a small official of the Ministry of Punishment.
Jiang Xuening stopped at the door and did not continue walking in.
Zhou Yinzhi walked up to that person.
Before he could speak, the man struggled vigorously as soon as he saw him, as if he had suffered some hardships before, and was very frightened: "I really don't know anything, and the trust is not in me. Didn't you say that I told you?" Just let me go!"
Zhou Yinzhi looked down at him and said, "Then who is the person meeting you?"
The man was trembling: "We are all doing things in secret in our religion. I and the others are secretly taking orders from Mr. Jinling Gongyi. Every day, I put the letter in Baiguo Temple. Someone will take it away, and I will go back the next day." Then there was a letter reply. But I have never seen those people, and there are at least three people in the reply letter. Master Zhou, it is useless even if you arrest me! The letter really does not belong to me!"
Zhou Yinzhi looked at Jiang Xuening.
Jiang Xuening stood near the door, frowned, and said coldly: "You are an official of the Ministry of Punishment, and you can get close to the sky prison, but those people want to hide and rely on you to find out the news, presumably they also need to rely on you Come and send this letter to the court to know? In other words, as long as you tell them that the time is ripe, they will give you the letter!"
Hearing this voice, the man got goosebumps all over his body.
It wasn't until this time that the unlucky ghost realized that there was someone else who came back with Zhou Yinzhi this time, and it was a girl. Hearing this, it seemed like the person behind Zhou Yinzhi, and he felt a little frightened for a moment.
He subconsciously turned around to see who it was.
However, as soon as he moved, Zhou Yinzhi had already kicked him hard: "Is that the person you should look at?"
The man yelled in pain.
Zhou Yinzhi only said sharply: "Young lady asks you, is it true or not?"
The man cried: "Yes, yes!"
Jiang Xuening said quickly: "The matter is simple. You contact these people as usual, and tell them that the time for the interrogation of the three divisions is ripe, and it's time to hand over the letter. You write down the letter and deliver it at midnight tonight. Don't worry about it." What a trick."
The man was terrified: "No, no, if you are taught to know..."
Jiang Xuening frowned suddenly.
Zhou Yinzhi glanced at her and said, "Why don't you avoid it for a while?"
After speaking, he pulled a rag and stuffed the man's mouth.
Jiang Xuening retreated after seeing it.
Standing outside under the eaves for a while, I heard the screams of being blocked from inside, as well as the sound of sharp and piercing iron chains hitting violently on the pillars, and it took a while to stop.
It was probably when the gagged rag was taken off that the painful sound of the man gasping for breath came out.
However, it seems much weaker than before.
Zhou Yinzhi only asked indifferently: "Write or not?"
The man didn't dare to hold back any longer, and hurriedly said: "Write, write, I will write."
Jiang Xuening knew that Zhou Yinzhi must have used some ruthless means used by Jin Yiwei to force this person to submit.
Wei Xi immediately went to get a pen and paper.
The man wrote the letter tremblingly.
After writing it, Zhou Yinzhi read it again, and then showed it to Jiang Xuening. Jiang Xuening carefully read it several times, and found nothing wrong, so he handed it back to Zhou Yinzhi, and asked him to take this person to Baiguo Temple overnight to release the letter, and wait for the heavenly teaching. Those people take the bait.
Zhou Yinzhi asked people to lie in ambush nearby.
Jiang Xuening went back that night.
Moreover, he seemed to have expected that such a situation was waiting for him. The man was not flustered at all, he just smiled and said to Zhou Yinzhi: "Yesterday Zhou Qianhu took him away, and we noticed it. We took that After a letter came back, I guessed that it was a game. But I told you everything I wanted to come to, so I don’t go around. We are the dark thread of the secret development of Tianjiao, and we don’t communicate with others except Mr. Gongyi, but I don’t have any news from you now, I’m afraid something unexpected happened or it fell into the hands of the court. According to Mr. Gongyi’s order, this letter should be sent to the Ministry of Punishment no matter what, but now you have seen through this situation. It won’t work. I’m just born recklessly, and I don’t necessarily have to sacrifice my life to complete this matter. In this world, people only seek fame and fortune. Master Zhou can take this half of the letter back and read it. As for the remaining half of the letter , it depends on how much 'sincerity' Mr. Zhou, the person behind you, has."
Zhou Yinzhi didn't expect to be turned against the general.
And this letter...
He asked, "What do you want?"
The other party said coldly: "50,000 taels of silver will buy the lives of the Yan family. After receiving the money, I will not set foot in the capital until I leave the capital! But if not, the remaining half of the letter will be kept in Dingguo Gong Xiao Yuan. on the desk!"
Xie Wei is going to enter the palace today.
The Qinqin hall has already been cleaned up, and there is no trace of blood left.
Gong Yicheng's body was also missing.
But Xie Wei's mood didn't seem to be any better, even worse than the previous few days. When he put on the azure Taoist robe, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he only asked: "Have you heard about it yet?" Did you find it?"
Daoqin stood behind and shook his head.
Jian Shu's eyebrows and eyes were also a bit dignified, and he even became very careful in arranging his clothes, and said in a low voice: "There are indeed some people left behind in the Jinling General Altar to serve as hidden stakes in the capital, but these people only listen to Gong Yicheng. Order. Now that we have controlled the Xiangtang in the capital, and interrogated the people who followed Gong Yicheng some time ago, we only know that there is an order to explain it, but, but no one knows what it is."
As he spoke, his voice also decreased.
The hostility in Xie Wei's eyes slowly surfaced, as if he was enduring something, he asked again: "Where is Dingfei?"
Jianshu didn't dare to look at him even more, and lowered his head, he said: "That day after Mr. ordered him to go down, he searched around in Beijing, but Mr. Fei must have never returned to Xiangtang. Some people said he was in Zuiyuefang, let's look for it The girl from Houhualou told him to leave a message saying that he had gone to 'Nian Nian Niang' to drink, but after we went there, there was no one..."
In other words, this person has disappeared.
Xie Wei smiled softly: "Not bad, very good."
Both Jianshu and Daoqin could hear the sinister meaning hidden in these words, and dared not answer them at all.
Xie Wei straightened his robes, said lightly, "Continue to search, continue to search", without saying anything else, went straight out of the mansion, and took a carriage to the palace.
There is a discussion in the South study.
Shen Lang's mood was unprecedentedly good. Apart from Wen Zhaoyi's pregnancy in the harem, an exciting event happened in the court.
As soon as Xie Weicai came in, he burst out laughing: "Mr. Xie is here. Shuntian Fu Yin has already reported the news. This time, there is an important figure in the Tianjiao. Mr. Xie made a great contribution!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Wei, with some admiration in their eyes.
Of course, some people are simpler.
Xie Wei acted as if he hadn't seen it, smiled without any flaws, and said: "It's just that the people under his command happened to break into them and waited for the Xiangtang assembly, so he was a little more alert, so he contacted the governor of Shuntian Prefecture to send people to encircle and suppress them. , and shot that Gongyi Cheng to death with random arrows. I didn’t dare to take credit for it before I knew the news.”
If Lu Xian heard it here, he would be shocked——
Didn't Gongyi Cheng commit suicide by Xie Wei himself?
How come at this moment, he was besieged and killed by Yin of Shuntian Prefecture? !
But no one in the South Study Room knew the truth, and everyone thought that this Young Master Xie was already deeply trusted by Shen Lang, and after this incident, he might go up to a higher level, which is really enviable.
Shen Lang was indescribably happy.
He paced down with his hands behind his back, even looking a little high-spirited, and said: "This day, the thief who tried to overthrow my court is not dead, and took advantage of the matter of the Yongyihou Mansion to spread rumors and make trouble. The stronghold even killed the big thief who advised its leader! It is expected that the heavens will destroy this sect, and if this continues, the rebellious party and traitors will be wiped out soon!"
Everyone agreed, saying "the Holy One is wise".
However, Gu Chunfang, the newly appointed official of the Ministry of Justice, had a cold face, but frowned, not much joy, and said: "It's a pity that the identity of this person was not known during the siege of Shuntian Mansion, and he was shot to death with random arrows." Since this person has been with the bandit leader for 20 or 30 years and has been making suggestions, he must know that Tianjiao has a lot of details and is the most important person in this sect. If he can be captured alive and tortured, I don’t know how much useful things will be revealed message…"
Everyone suddenly became embarrassed.
Xie Wei heard that his eyes flickered slightly, but he seemed to think of something and said: "It would be best if he could be captured alive, but now that this person is dead, it may not be useless."
Gu Chunfang's eyebrows were already a little frosty white.
Hearing Xie Wei's words, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and looked over at Xie Wei: "Young master Xie has a good opinion?"
"Don't dare to take it." Xie Wei was very polite, and while speaking, he bowed to Gu Chunfang, and then said, "Just now, Mr. Gu didn't say it, and Xie didn't think about it; but when Mr. Gu said it, Xie felt terrified. Come up with an idea, but it may be a little risky."
Shen Lang was suddenly curious: "What idea?"
The corners of Xie Wei's lips curled slightly, and he said: "The imperial court wiped out the Tianjiao rebel party and killed many of them. Of course an important person like Gong Yicheng was among them, but only the government and the imperial court know about this news. He said, Tianjiao didn’t know that Gongyicheng was dead. If we release the news, falsely claiming that Gongyicheng is not dead, but was arrested by the court and is being tortured and interrogated. According to Master Gu’s words, this person must know There are many secrets of the Tianjiao, and the Tianjiao is afraid that the secrets will be leaked, so they will definitely send people to rescue them. At that time, they only need to send people to ambush, or it is more dangerous..."
When he said this, he paused.
Everyone nodded.
Even Gu Chunfang couldn't help thinking about it, and asked: "So what if it's more dangerous?"
Xie Wei's eyes lowered slightly, and he actually said: "We have also caught a lot of Heavenly Sect rebels these days. After repeated interrogations, most of these people have seen Gongyicheng and know what they look like. However It is rumored that there is another person who advised the bandit leader of Tianjiao, named "Dujunshanren", who kept his secrets and never showed himself in front of others. Even the people of Tianjiao, and even some incense masters of Xiangtang, did not see him As far as this person is concerned, only a very small number of people at the Jinling General Altar know his details. If Gongyi Cheng is used as a bait to lure the enemy to rescue him, but another person is sent to sneak in the prison to join the Tianjiao people, pretending It is said that this "Dujun Mountain Man", the many congregants who came to rescue all the way back, will be able to find out many secrets in the sect, and after getting the situation of the rest of the sect's stronghold, wait for the opportunity to retreat, and you will gain a lot! "
Hearing this, the rest of the people could hardly hold back the hairs on their backs, and at the same time couldn't help but let out a secret cry.
This is a bold plan!
But the opportunities and gains hidden in the middle are really exciting.
Shen Lang said: "Who can I send?"
yes.
Who to send?
It is good for the former to use Gongyi Cheng as bait; but for the latter, if one accidentally exposes his identity, he may die in the chaos, which is too dangerous.
Everyone frowned in thought.
Xie Wei glanced at it, waited for a while, but no one spoke, then leaned slightly, ready to speak.
However, at this moment, Gu Chunfang, who was standing not far away, opened his mouth and said: "In terms of wisdom, I have heard of Master Xie's reputation. Originally, Master Master Xie was the first to be able to deal with this situation. But Mr. Xie's name is too famous. If he falsely claims that he is a "Du Junshan native" of the Tianjiao, it will only take a lot of trouble to attract suspicion. The old minister has a candidate here, and he has also studied the files of the Tianjiao. If you understand it, it may be useful.”
Xie Wei's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, and he looked at Gu Chunfang.
Shen Lang asked, "Who is worthy?"
Gu Chunfang looked behind her, and then said: "It is the old subordinate of the veteran, and one of the heads of the thirteen officials of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Zhe."
Zhang Zhe stood at the end, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on him.
He lowered his eyes and didn't react much.
Xie Wei looked at this person quietly, but quietly tightened his fingers in his sleeves: Since Gu Chunfang said this, it is hard for him to mention it and let him go...
