The carriage stopped in the village, the tall and thin old man got off the car, did not look at the left and right humble salutes, went straight into the house, the middle-aged man after the case looked up and saw it, and quickly got up to salute, the old man nodded expressionlessly, the middle-aged man did not sit down, still standing on the side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The middle-aged man was still dressed in white, spotless, and his eyebrows were extremely neat, he didn't speak, just waited quietly.

The old man sat behind the desk, and someone brought hot tea, and the old man took a sip of hot tea to dispel the cold air all over his body, and then asked, "Is there anything going on in Beijing recently?"

"No, the emperor's handling of the rebellion of the Shi family in Chen Guojun was all expected by the prince," the middle-aged man in white replied: "The prince is unparalleled, and he is sure that the emperor is unwilling to make a big move and disrupt the court." ”

The manager didn't speak, picked up Zhang Ji and looked at it slowly, and the middle-aged man sat down opposite him: "Still no clues?"

Jin Yi disappeared, Qu Zhang Suihu didn't find any clues, the old manager personally went out and sat in Pengcheng, but after such a long time, there was still no news of clues.

"The other party's means are very clean," the old manager's tone was a little lost, and he was a little unwilling, he went late, if it was the Hidden Immortal Gate, he could find some traces if he arrived early, but by the time he went, those traces had already dissipated, but he couldn't say this, he paused and asked: "Isn't Jiang Ta already here, what have you been busy with lately?"

The middle-aged man sighed: "What else can he do, he just came back from Wei County recently, and Gongzi asked him to do something over there, now, I'm afraid he is in Baiyi Garden, by the way, according to Gongzi's orders, I sent two people into the forbidden army, and two into the city guard." ”

The old manager didn't answer this question, and hummed casually, and then looked up at him: "What the prince tells will be done according to the son's orders, but I heard in Pengcheng that Xiao Yu was assassinated on the way back to the imperial capital, who did this?"

The middle-aged man looked at the old manager's gaze, which was very peaceful, but he knew that it was just an illusion, in fact, the old manager was very angry and angry, otherwise he would not have mentioned it at all, he swallowed his saliva, tried to calm down, and quickly sorted out his thoughts.

"Jiang Ta did this, and I am also in favor of it," the middle-aged man said: "My main consideration is that the imperial capital has been too calm recently, Jin Yi is missing, and there is a shadow of the Hidden Immortal Gate behind him, Xiao Yu, the master is a branch of the Demon Gate, and behind it is the Netherworld Sect, but I didn't think about killing Xiao Yu, the Netherworld Sect is easy to have such a figure in the emperor, I think of the military advisor of the Wind and Rain Building, Reina, who muddies the water." ”

"Assassinate Reina and muddy the waters!" The old manager spoke calmly, and he didn't seem to be angry, but the middle-aged man clearly saw a trace of disappointment in his eyes, the middle-aged man didn't distinguish it, and there was a trace of shame in his demeanor, but the old manager didn't let him go, and continued to ask: "What happened to the result?

The middle-aged man paused and shook his head slightly: "Xiao Yu is becoming more and more shrewd, after returning to the imperial capital, he just took a vigilance, did not move, and did not even investigate, so this matter was eliminated." ”

"How could he not investigate?!" the old manager interrupted him again, and the middle-aged man looked astringent, nodded slightly, and admitted that the old manager was right.

"Does Childe know?" the old manager asked again, and the middle-aged man sighed: "I didn't report it beforehand, but I only reported it afterwards." I didn't touch our people this time, I used the people of the Changhe Gang, the Changhe Gang made a move from Yongzhou, the Changhe Gang has always wanted to get involved in the imperial capital, but they were crushed by Xiao Yu. ”

"That's worse. The old manager muttered to himself, and the middle-aged man nodded calmly: "Yes, it wasn't us who took the initiative to contact, it was Jiang Ta who was contacted through the clothes over there." ”

The old manager breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still slightly wrinkled: "Childe always said that the geese have left traces, don't hope to completely eliminate the traces, whoever contacts Jiangta, these are all traces, if there are no traces, it is impossible." Jiang Ta, the little bastard, actually ran to participate in the brushing of clothes, and his behavior became more and more Meng Lang. ”

This little bastard exited, and the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief, Fuyi is a killer organization, this organization is very mysterious in the rivers and lakes, no one knows how many people he has, and he doesn't know who his supreme leader is, but once he makes a move, nine times out of ten he does not fail, and several mysterious assassinations on the rivers and lakes are all from their hands, but this time it is not a Fuyi shot, if it is them, I am afraid Xiao Yu will not get out so easily.

Jiang Ta secretly participated in the matter of the clothes to him, he once told him, he didn't take it seriously, Jiang Ta hung the reputation of a merry boy outside, but the monthly funds for him were insufficient, he needed to get his own money, on the surface, he got money through the casino, but that could only get a little money, enough for a few days to spend, and the real money was the business of the clothes.

"Did you support this operation?" the old manager asked again, and the middle-aged man nodded with a slight hesitation: "I provided Reina's return route and time, but I didn't expect Xiao Yu to meet Reina halfway. ”

"Did you provide it from Kui Niu?"

The middle-aged man nodded, the old manager was silent for a while, his brows twisted into a river, and he said after a while: "You are reckless this time, it is not easy for Kui Niu to be in the Wind and Rain Building, Xiao Yu Rena is actually a very cautious person, they must investigate this incident, I can conclude that their main target is internal, and Kui Niu is going to suspend contact recently." ”

When the old manager said, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, but the old manager didn't let him go, and continued: "Childe handed over the important task of the center to you, just because you are cautious and steady, all these years, you have been very cautious and steady, and you have not lived up to Childe's high expectations, why are you so reckless this time?"

The middle-aged man lowered his head in shame, although the loss this time was not big, and it could even be said that there was no loss at all, but strictly speaking, it violated the punctual standby strategy set by Childe. Over the years, they have been abiding by this strategy, and it has gradually developed to the present, as the person in charge of the confidential center, he knows the terrible power of this force, as long as the son is willing, he can now let the Great Jin Dynasty be full of wolves, with such a huge power, but still adhere to the established strategy of punctuality.

"Kui Niu is very difficult in the wind and rain building, Xiao Yu and Reina, a few years ago the son set his eyes on them, Xiao Yu is talented, Reina is cautious and resourceful, the two can be described as a perfect match, the most important thing is that they have the same ambition as the son, the son has expectations for them in the future, so, over the years, the wind and rain building in the imperial capital to attack the city and plunder the land, although we did not make a move openly, but secretly helped many times, Kui Niu played a great role in it.

The cooperation between the wind and rain building and the Luoma Water Village is also what the son wants to see, the Luoma Water Village has Jin Li, the wind and rain building has Kui Niu, and the waterway from Pengcheng to the imperial capital is under our control, if Jin Yi has not had an accident, the original intention of the son will be to develop northward, and strive to control the waterway to Jicheng, hey, it's a pity that Jin Yi. ”

"Isn't there any clue at all?" The middle-aged man asked again, the old manager was silent for a while, and finally nodded in acknowledgement, the middle-aged man frowned slightly: "Isn't there anyone who replaces Jin Qi?" ”

"I'm going to arrange a replacement this time," the boss sighed: "He Dong is the head of Luoma Water Village, Jin Yi's disappearance made him very out of shape, and launched an attack on Kuaidaotang and Feiyanmen in Pengcheng, the two sides fought several battles, and the fire rat took the opportunity to get up, however, his cultivation was much worse than Jin Qi, and now he can only rank fourth." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and the old manager shook his head slightly: "The strength of Luoma Shuizhai is not strong, and it can't be damaged anymore, and now He Dong has a feeling of being alone." ”

"That',.。 , Do you want to send someone in again," the middle-aged man suggested tentatively, but the old manager didn't speak, so he further suggested: "Childe said some time ago, four murderers."

"You don't have to think about the four murderers, Childe already has an arrangement. The old manager shook his head and said, after thinking about it, he still didn't feel sure: "Let's do it first, there are already fire rats, don't move for the time being, besides, as soon as Jin Yi left, there was a good hand with similar cultivation, and in the eyes of people with a heart, it was a big flaw, besides, if there is something going on in the water village, Xiao Yu won't make a move?"

The middle-aged man thought about it and nodded slightly, then sighed slightly, his expression was a little lonely, the old manager looked through the summary of the meeting, saw one of them, and frowned slightly: "How did this Liu Han enter the forbidden army?

"Judging from the current situation," the middle-aged man replied: "The imperial court intends to adopt a strategy of calculation, and he asked Xue Mi to recommend him to join the forbidden army, in order to obtain an identity, in case the imperial court really adopts this strategy," the middle-aged man snorted contemptuously: "Team Zheng, with his cultivation, even if he enters the Tiger Benwei, he is also a master." ”

The old manager nodded and looked up at him: " This time Gongzi was very angry, and specially asked me to rush back, not necessarily to punish you, but to tell you, this time you are too reckless, these years, we have been very smooth, that is because we hid in the shadows, did not attract the attention of the court, the court is strong, we are not without lessons, hope, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, not to mention Xiao Yu, just say this Liu Han, single-handedly in the Western Regions to lay down such as Xu Jiangshan, empty-handed to earn millions of wealth, is it a mediocre person, I think his talent is not weaker than you. ”

The middle-aged man pursed his mouth and nodded heavily: "Yes, what the boss said is that I must be careful in the future, and then be careful." ”

The old manager stared at him, did not speak, the middle-aged man was silent, solemnly tidied up his clothes, and bowed deeply: "Please rest assured, I hope that I will not be so reckless, I will learn a lesson, be cautious and cautious." ”

The old manager's expression finally relaxed, and nodded: "Get up, remember the words of the son, be cautious and cautious, no matter what, it is right, even if you miss it, it doesn't matter, these are all small things, happiness and enmity are enjoyable, but patience is the basic element of doing big things." ”

"Hope, you must keep in mind the teachings of the son and the old manager. The middle-aged man bowed his head again, this is the biggest reason why the old manager hurried back, the son looks peaceful, but the punishment for subordinates who have made serious mistakes is also very severe.

The old manager nodded: "Childe, I will explain, get up, you are all grown up by me, I know you better than yourself, you, have you seen the junior brothers prancing horses and whips everywhere over the years, and my heart is a little itchy, I want to show my hand and show the junior brothers." ”

Wang lowered his head shyly, the old manager's smile was very gentle and kind, this child came to Childe's side at the age of six, after Childe and his careful training, but he really has no talent in cultivation, but on the other hand, he is meticulous, good at analysis, and finds the most valuable clues from the intricate clues, so Childe put him in the center position from the beginning, and it turns out that he has done an extremely good job in this position.

"What is the reaction of the imperial court to Chen Guojun?" the old manager asked again.

"The reaction is very strong," Wang replied: "Although the emperor forgave the protégé of the Shi family, and handed over Chen Guojun to Pengzhu, Pengzhu made a big move in Chenguo County, expelled all the county orders and county officials, and almost replaced the officials of the entire Chen Guojun, shaking the government and the opposition, and the imperial history group of impeachments, at least five impeachments every day, and now in the imperial court, impeachment of Pengzhu is the trend. ”

Wang said here with a hint of ridicule: "These impeachments, the emperor did not pay attention to them at all, two days ago, disposed of an imperial history, but it was not heavy, just dismissed, as a result, before the imperial history returned to his hometown, those scholars in the imperial capital saw him off at the dock, and more than 300 people came at once, everyone wrote poems to praise, the emperor was furious after hearing this, and ordered that the vacant officials should not be allowed to leave Beijing and then not be allowed to gather to see off the people. ”

"It's just to vent evil anger," the old manager commented lightly: "Gongzi judges that even if the emperor's land inventory in Chen Guojun is successful, it is impossible to replicate it in other regions, and it may even provoke other changes, so we still don't respond to all changes for the time being." ”

"Or do you support Pan Lian?" Wang frowned a little puzzled, and the old manager nodded: "Pan Lian is a person with great ambition and talent, likes to seize power, and is greedy for money, the emperor now needs his support to check the land in Chen Guojun, and as soon as Chen Guojun's matter is over, it is time to clean him up, this person still doesn't know how to collect people alive and dead, hum!"

"It would be nice if Childe could enter the Shangshutai. Wang sighed, and there was regret in his tone.

"It's a matter of time," the old manager sorted out the case a little messily, and looked up at him: "Today's emperor is too anxious, Shaoyang was also in power back then, and he also wanted to clean up the finances, just stepping on the red line of land, what was the result, he died and died, although now the emperor is promoting, but the opposition of the gate lord clan is quite strong, this time the Shi family is an obvious example, the emperor pulled out the Shi family with thunderous means, intending to deter the Shi clan, but the Shi clan will comply? No, absolutely not, they are not so honest." ”

Wang was silent for a while, and nodded, after so many years in the center, he knew the ambition of the childe. Childe's goal is to cleanse the dust and create a peaceful and well-being world for all people. And this goal was first and foremost the abolition of the privileges of the nobles. This step is very difficult and very dangerous, for thousands of years, countless people of insight have tried to do this, but in the end they have all failed, the most recent is the reform of the Shaoyang Junwang.

"Boss, I think," Wang hesitated, and said slowly, the boss looked up at him and encouraged him to continue: "Isn't our strength in the center of the imperial court too weak. ”

The old manager was silent for a while, and then explained: "What Gongzi means is to strengthen the branches and weaken the foundation, consolidate the foundation, and then occupy the center, so that you can compete with the scholars." ”

Wang felt that the old manager had obviously discussed this matter with Childe, otherwise he would not have hesitated so little, and, most likely, the old manager had a difference of opinion with Childe, and Childe did not convince him, and only obeyed his orders out of trust in Childe.

"Gongzi thinks that why the Shi clan can compete with the emperor, even Emperor Taiding has to succumb to the pressure of the Shi clan, and finally killed Shaoyang, a big reason is that the Shi clan has a strong force in the local area, and the emperor has to give in, so Gongzi's policy is still very reasonable, hope, for so many years, Gongzi has no last resort, believe him, it will not be wrong. ”

Wang hurriedly replied: "Of course I believe in Childe, how can I doubt Childe, I just feel that Childe is alone in the court, and his strength is weak, even if it is difficult to find a helper." The emperor is now using Pan Chain, and he is promoting Xue Mi, how difficult it is for the prince to control the center. ”

The boss Wen Yan couldn't help laughing: "Pan Lian is already a stupid donkey, Xue Mi is just a stupid pig, how can he be the opponent of Gongzi, don't worry, Gongzi already has a countermeasure, even if Xue Mi enters Shangshutai and serves as Shangshuling, he is still a plaything in Gongzi's hands! Hmph, this Dajin is really no one!"

Looking at the old manager, he shook his head very seriously: "Old manager, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, although Xue Yu is stupid, but there is a master behind him!"
