Chapter 341: Wu Yong's Final Role
"My lord, how to deal with it?" Guan Ying, who was outside, naturally didn't hear Kuang Ye's voice talking to himself, and was still asking for instructions on his next move.
"Forget it, send the person to the loyal duke, how to deal with it, just leave it to him to deal with it." Kuang Ye lost interest, and didn't even ask too much about who was going to assassinate Yang Chendong, in his opinion, he was young and promising, powerful and honored, but he really didn't know that it was normal for such a person to attract assassins. Besides, if he is nosy now, it is difficult to guarantee that Yang Chendong will not have other ideas, even if this is the case, it is better to hand over the person directly, and he can still fall into a favor.
After a brief period of confusion, the convoy continued towards the Hangzhou Mansion. And at the side gate of Qi Mansion not far from the mansion, a figure climbed over the wall and entered the Qi Mansion quietly.
The visitor seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the Qi Mansion, and after three rounds and two rounds, they came to a silent courtyard, and then opened a door, which attracted a "squeak" sound of opening the door.
As soon as the voice rang, a scolding voice came from the wooden bed in the door, "Why did you come?" Childe, I'm bored to death if I stay here, let the beauty you find..."
As soon as he said this, there was suddenly no voice, and the next voice was the man's nervous voice with a hint of fear, "Who are you?" What are you doing? Why are you here, tell you, don't come near me, or I'll be able to clean you up... Alas! ”
He was only halfway through his words, and the speaker was restrained, and a sharp short knife was placed on his neck.
Feeling the strong murderous aura coming from his neck, Qi Qing was stunned, his face turned pale, and his voice trembled, "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, I am not a bad person, you don't kill me, I will give you whatever you want, I have silver, I have a lot of silver." ”
The person who spoke was Qi Qing. Since he was cleaned up by Yang Chendong yesterday, he returned to Qi Mansion to recuperate. But he was not a good thing in the first place, and even during his recuperation, he still did not stop, and ordered his two attendants to go out and find him a woman. Just now, he thought that his subordinates were back, but what he didn't expect was that a killer came, and his skills were not bad, and he was restrained with just one move.
"I don't want your money, I'm here to give you credit." There was no murderous spirit in the voice of the visitor, but he still spoke calmly. "Come, let me introduce me, my name is Wu Yong, you must not have heard of my name, but it doesn't matter, someone knows me, and he still wants my life. And I've heard about you, and the reason why I found you is just because we all have a common enemy, do you understand now? ”
Listening to the unhurried voice introducing everything, Qi Qing changed from ignorance at the beginning to his eyes finally shining, and then nodded excitedly...
......
Hangzhou Mansion.
Knowing that Kuang Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was in person, the prefect Qi Bushen took a group of colleagues out to greet him.
For Kuang Ye and his people, the other officials are naturally respectful and afraid, especially when they have done something wrong, they are even more uneasy. But as the prefect of Hangzhou, Qi Bushen, the boss here, didn't panic much.
How to say that he is also a person with a backer, and his brother-in-law is Liu De, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty.
Speaking of Liu De, his strength should not be underestimated. Alone said that now in the court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Yingzong could not return to Beijing after the defeat in the Battle of Tumu, so he listened to Yang Chendong's opinion, turned one Ming into two in the north and south, and he came to Nanjing to establish the Southern Ming court.
Even if it is the imperial court, it needs the help of hundreds of officials. made the same choice as Beiming, that is, to remove the cabinet and directly obey the emperor's orders with the six Shangshu as the mainstays, that is to say, at this point, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu's choice is the same, they both want to centralize power on themselves.
When the Southern Ming Dynasty was established, the first thing to appoint was the six most powerful Shangshu. Among them, Wang Zuo, the secretary of the household department, and Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, were naturally reinstated officials, and the others had Chen Xun, a former cabinet member from the northern Jingshi, and Xiao Ye? He is the secretary of the criminal department, Jiang Yuan is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Shang Yuan is the imperial history of the capital, Yin Qian is the political envoy and so on. These people all have one thing in common, that is, they are all officials of the original Beijing Division. But only the Ministry of Rites Shangshu used Liu De, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu in Nanjing.
Speaking of which, Nanjing, as the accompanying capital, also has six ministries in politics, and there is also the official position of Shangshu. They are in charge of the affairs of the south, the difference is only that their official position is half a level lower than that of the Shangshu of the northern Jingshi.
It was this small half level that made the original southern scholars move their positions, but only Liu De was retained, and he was promoted to this half level and became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Just from this point of view, you can see that this person's ability is great and his means are strong.
Liu De is a generation of Confucianism, and he occupies a strong position in the eyes of the entire southern readers. In addition to his sleek work, the Liu family is a first-class wealthy family in the south, he has become the only candidate for Shangshu among the entire southern officials, and since he was promoted by half a level to become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Southern Imperial Court, he has also faintly become the leader of the southern officials. It is said that in the imperial court, even Yingzong Zhu Qizhen has to give him some face in many things.
Qi Bushen's backer is this Liu De, which is why he has no fear. He also knew that Kuang Ye's personal relationship with Liu De was still very good, and even so, he didn't have to be afraid of anything.
Sure enough, when Kuang Ye arrived, he just reprimanded a few times when they met, and the matter was revealed. Seeing all this, the other Hangzhou officials even reconsidered their position as the prefect in their hearts.
Kuang Ye saw everything in his eyes, he didn't want to do it in the first place. For the prefect who dared to privately ask for the transfer of Hangzhou Duwei to avenge his personal revenge, he couldn't wait to directly remove the other party's official position, and even failed to be arrested in prison for questioning.
It's just that just think about it, people's brother-in-law is Liu De, and he can't move such a person at all. He is just a secretary of the military department, and if he wants to move a prefect, it must be nodded by the emperor, and it is impossible to do it with Liu De in this matter.
Even if you know that you can't do anything, why do you need to do anything about such a thing? Not to mention that his main focus now is on the two rebellions in the south, and he has no leisure to engage in any struggle.
After Qi Bushen was only reprimanded for a few words, the matter was over, and out of gratitude, he invited Kuang Ye to his dinner. Kuang Ye had no choice but to agree, that is, he asked the other party to admit his feelings, of course, he did a full set of acts, so he agreed, so that the Qi Mansion was full of Zhang Deng's color, which looked so lively.
The dinner party was still being prepared, and Qi Qing in the Qi Mansion was also preparing at the same time. His two retinues escorted Wu Yong, the only Assassin who had escaped during the day, towards the Chang family's courtyard.
During the day, Wu used to assassinate Yang Chendong by mistake, and he actually ambushed Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty. After the matter was revealed, when Wu Yong escaped alone, he knew that if he wanted to avenge the eldest brother and the third brother, he was afraid that there was little chance.
Yin Liang, who had been brought out from Jingshi before, had hired killers, but he was killed by Kuang Ye's men, and now he was no longer capable of organizing a second large-scale assassination. When the situation was like this, he decided to take a risk, or it could be said that he was risking his life.
In this way, he came to Qi Mansion, found Qi Qing, and told his plan. It was sent to Yang Chendong on the grounds that the other party was grabbing him to invite merit. As long as he is sent over, he can carry out a close assassination, in this way, he can kill Yang Chendong to take revenge, and Qi Qing, who does not have to do anything, is naturally satisfied with this plan and agrees to it.
Qi Qing's idea was that even if Wu Yong's assassination failed, it had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, he also has the merit of arresting people and sending invitations. On the contrary, if Yang Chendong died, then Wu Yong would definitely be killed, so it had nothing to do with him.
This kind of thing is a good person inside and out, why wouldn't he do it? After sending people out, he just waited for good news in the mansion.
Besides, in the Changfu Courtyard, Wu Yong was arrested and sent over alive, and Yang Wu, who was in charge of peripheral security, personally received Qi Qing's two entourage. From their mouths, I learned that Wu Yong originally wanted to assassinate Qi Qing in order to frame the loyal and courageous man, but Qi Qing's reputation as Hangzhou Divine Fist was not for nothing, he actually countered the other party, and after figuring out his identity, he sent the person to be destroyed, saying that everything that happened in the Xinglong Restaurant before was a misunderstanding, and his move was to explain the misunderstanding and repair the relationship.
Of course, all this was originally Wu Yong's idea, and the two entourages also listened to the words of their master Qi Qing and came to ask for credit.
After Yang Wu asked everything, he asked the two entourages to wait for a while, and he would report the matter to the loyal and courageous prince, and he would miss their benefits for a while.
Wu Yong was tied up and sturdy, and his body was searched again and again, and after confirming that there was no threat on his body, he was escorted by two Leng Feng and sent to the inner courtyard. Yang Chendong, who learned the news, had already rushed here.
Wu Yong was once the second leader of the Blackwater Gang. When the Blackwater Gang was destroyed, this person escaped, and then assassinated him three times and twice, which already made Yang Chendong a little annoyed. Originally, I thought that this person would establish the world with a scheme, and it must not be easy to catch him, but he didn't think that he was sent to the door, of course, Yang Chendong also had to take a good look at this person to see how smart he was and what kind of ability he had.
In the side hall of the backyard, Wu Yong was pressed down and knelt on the ground by two cold fronts. Then the door curtain was lifted, and Yang Chendong, who was dressed in green clothes, strode out.
