Chapter 454: The Son of Heaven's Verdict
East of Chang'an City, in Baqiao Station. Chen Jingxuan was restless, anxiously waiting for the results of Gaoling County.
The tasks have all been arranged, and Chen Duo always says that everything is properly arranged, foolproof, foolproof. But his heart was beating a drum, and he didn't have the slightest confidence. He rubbed his hands vigorously, feeling a chill on his body. I couldn't help wrapping the mink fur on my body, and called the slave to burn the brazier more vigorously. Seeing the young slave squatting in front of him to make a fire, revealing a buttocks like a ripe peach, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, if it was usual, he would definitely do this delicate maid first.
But now, he didn't have the slightest thought about it.
"What time is it?"
The maidservant girl posed for a long time, but when she saw that this noble man did not move, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Hearing this, he hurriedly said with some snort: "Back to the words of the big officials, it's the third watch in the middle of the night!" She bit the words in the middle of the night, full of hints and teasing.
It's just that Chen Jingxuan didn't have the heart to notice these at this time, seeing that it was so late, but there was no news yet, and he was even more uneasy at the moment.
But thinking of the words of the third brother, this matter should be very easy. It is said that the ice-like beauty was a first-class assassin. It's the apprentice who always wears a mask, but in fact, he was also trained by an extremely powerful female killer.
It is said that the woman named Aunt Lan is none other than Lan, one of the four killers of Lijingmen Lanju and Meizhu. Back then, the Shence Army first grasped Lan's identity, and then captured Mei, who was like a sister, and her parents, brothers and sisters, and finally persuaded Lan to betray Lijingmen. After the end, he secretly took refuge in the Shence Army. And help the Shence Army to do internal response. He has wiped out several hidden bases in Lijingmen, and swept away his protΓ©gΓ©s and other high-level officials.
He had heard the third brother say that this woman named Lan was very strange. At the beginning, the Shence Army captured Lan in an operation, and later Mei came to the rescue, but Lan was rescued, but Mei herself was captured. When they captured Lan earlier, they had captured Lan's family to threaten her, but she was not moved at all. But when Mei fell into their hands. It didn't take long for her to come to the door again, willing to cooperate with them, just to save Mei.
This is a strange woman who treats Mei as a sister and looks more heavily than her biological parents and siblings. Mei has always been in the hands of Tian Lingzi, and it is precisely because of this that Tian Lingzi has kept Lan outside for the past two years. In this operation, Tian Lingzi believed that Lan would help him complete it smoothly, as he had done many previous missions.
In the mouth of the third brother, things are always so simple. But Chen Jingxuan was always a little worried.
For his worries, Tian Lingzi also specially transferred 200 outlaws to him for use. But he doesn't trust these people very much. After thinking about it, he felt that things could not rely on two women and a group of hooligans, and after the worst, he secretly transferred a Shence military camp stationed in Weibei to Gaoling County without telling Tian Lingzi.
With the help of Chen Duo, the commander of Gaoling County, and Feng Chuang, the commander of the Shence Army, Chen Jingxuan believed that this time it should be foolproof.
When it was almost dawn, Chen Jingxuan, who had been waiting all night, fell asleep unconsciously, and when he woke up, it was already dawn.
He hurriedly called the guards, "Is Chen Duo here?" β
"The order of Chen County did not come."
Chen Jingxuan's face was uncertain, "Is Feng Ya here?" β
"Not either."
Hearing this, one of his faces turned completely white.
"What about Gaoling City, is there any movement?"
The soldier glanced at Chen Jingxuan with some surprise, and replied honestly: "Not long after dawn, Chang'an drove a large group of soldiers and horses across the Dongwei Bridge to Gaoling. I heard that there was a mutiny in Gaoling City last night, and someone tried to kill Li Jing, the commander of the Zhenguo Army who entered Beijing. They set fire to the mansion where Li Jing lived, but heavy rain fell and extinguished the fire. Then when Guan Jian was in the city, there happened to be Sizhou Xin Daxia in the city, he led the men to draw his sword to help, defeated the rebels, and then returned to the camp with Li Jing. The soldier didn't know what Chen Jingxuan was doing, and he didn't see that his face was gloomy and scary at this time, but he was still there to show off his tongue, "Now there are people everywhere who say that Li Jing prayed for rain in Dengzhou last year, and the dragon king sent rain and fish, saying that he was the messenger of the dragon. As soon as he was hit by fire, it immediately rained heavily, and even the hero Xin Yan came to help, which was extremely expensive. β
"That's enough, get out of here!" The more Chen Jingxuan listened, the more depressed he became, and finally he couldn't listen anymore, and kicked the pro-soldier out of the way.
He didn't expect that things would become such a result, and so many people could not be left behind. What did Xin Yan do when he was fucking healthy, he used to like to listen to Xin Yan's stories the most, but now he feels that he will never love Xin Yan's stories again in his life.
He anxiously circled around the house a few times, slapped his thigh at the back, and asked someone to call a few of his henchmen. Let them go to Gaoling carefully to find out the detailed information, and a few henchmen quickly went and returned, and the news they brought back made him even more frightened.
Chen Duo and Feng Chuang had already died under Xin Yan's hands, and most of the 1,000 forbidden troops and 200 outlaws who died last night were killed or wounded, and the rest fled in fear of crime. As for the two female killers, they were seen going out of the city and returning to the camp with Li Jing last night.
"General, Gaoling City has been taken over by Zhang Tai, the general of the Right Prison Gate, with a thousand forbidden troops. The identities of Chen Duo and Feng Chuang have been ascertained, and even those forbidden soldiers have been identified. Now this matter has been very unfavorable to us, I heard that Zhang Tai has also arrested a lot of people who have not had time to escape, and is now interrogating. β
Chen Jingxuan's soul was so angry that if it was just a group of outlaws who were caught, it wouldn't be able to involve their brothers for a while. But now that the forbidden army is involved, it will be a big deal. If the matter succeeds, it can be covered up, after all, it is not wise to offend his third brother for Li Jing as a dead man. But now Li Jing is fine, but he has already shown his feet. What's more important is that Zhang Tai, the old eunuch, has always been at odds with his third brother.
At this time, he was already in a mess, but his henchmen offered a plan, asking him to return to Chang'an immediately, explain the matter to Tian Lingzi, and let Tian Lingzi deal with the aftermath.
Immediately, Chen Jingxuan immediately ran back to Chang'an City and went straight to the palace to see Tian Lingzi. As soon as he saw his brother, Chen Jingxuan immediately told the matter before and after, and hugged Tian Lingzi's thigh and cried as he spoke: "Brother, you have to save my brother this time, now that Zhang Tai has gone to Gaoling, I am afraid that this matter will not be over, if something is really found, my brother and my head will be lost." β
After hearing this, Tian Lingzi's face turned blue with anger. He never thought that the second brother, who usually can't beat a fart with three sticks, would dare to directly transfer a thousand forbidden troops to openly besiege and kill Li Jing.
This matter is too big, even he, at most, is just thinking about assassination. After the matter is the most successful, the matter will not work out, and Li Jing will not be able to catch him with any tricks. Now this second brother is good, he made such a bad thing, and in the end, he didn't kill anyone, but folded a large number of people, and directly sent a lot of evidence to Li Jing and them.
But at this time, it's useless to beat and scold. No matter how you say it, this matter is really going to involve the brothers, and he can't figure out the relationship. To protect Chen Jingxuan is to protect yourself.
After frowning and pondering for a while, he had already come up with some preliminary solutions.
"This is how to do it first, do you follow what I said, go and find it first?"
Chen Jingxuan nodded Muran, and asked with some anxiety: "Brother, can this really be done?" β
"You go and do what I say first, remember, don't be reckless this time."
"It's good, I know it." Chen Jingxuan smiled and immediately turned around and left.
In the camp outside Gaoling City, Zhang Tai, the general of the right prison gate, arrived accompanied by Zhang Chengye. Zheng Congyan, Li Jing and others all came to greet him, and Yu Xuan asked, "I don't know how Zhang Gong's investigation is going?" β
Zhang Taidao: "Actually, the matter is clear and clear, before I came, the Son of Heaven had already understood it in his heart. It's just for me to make a show, and now that things are clear, I don't think it's time to make a big deal out of it. β
Zheng Congyan asked: "With Zhang Gong's intentions, how should this matter be handled?" β
"It's better to make big things small, and small things small."
Li Jing chuckled, "Big things are turned into small things, small things are turned into small things, is it really that simple?" If I had died at the hands of a field thief last night, would I have to make a big thing a small thing, a small thing? "Being besieged and assassinated, it is impossible to say that you are not angry. Li Jing is still a little frightened, if it weren't for the heavy rain last night, the other party wouldn't have to attack the yard at all, just keep setting fire outside, and they could all be burned to death.
"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Zhang Tai carefully persuaded on the side, "This is the foot of Chang'an, the general is not like this, do you want to lead the troops to Chang'an, and you can't come to the side of a Qing monarch?" If not, then there is little point in talking about anything else. It's better to write an internal reference to the Son of Heaven, at this time, only a few people can know the Tao, and everyone knows it without having to make it. After all, Tian Lingzi is the father of the Son of Heaven, and now he is powerful, not that he can move. β
Lin Wu said dissatisfiedly: "What's the use of being more than the emperor's table?" β
"Don't cling to everything." Zhang Tai pulled Li Jing aside and sat down, "This time the handsome man was attacked, fortunately, there was not much damage. As for the imperial court, there is no way to condemn Tian Lingzi, but as the old saying goes, the teacher is famous, and only by nailing Tian Lingzi down first, everyone in the world can see it, and there is only good and no harm for us. It is impossible to fight hard, you can only come together in the light and dark, and you will suffer a big loss if you are hard in this way. β
"Isn't this also the meaning of the Son of Heaven?" Li Jing was very smart, and immediately thought of the mastermind of this treatment.
Zhang Taiwei smiled, "Tian Lingzi, is the father of the Son of Heaven, he has been playing with His Majesty since he was a child, and even now, there is no one who can take his place." And the handsome, although His Majesty has always liked it, is a minister after all. Your Majesty's meaning, the matter between the two of you is considered a misunderstanding, and when you arrive in Chang'an, let Tian Lingzi give you a banquet to compensate for it. β
Hearing such a result, Li Jing was expressionless, but he was very disappointed in this genius. But isn't that to be expected? (To be continued......)
