There's something wrong with this assassin

Chapter 542 Borrowing Bamboo

"I mean." Fang Bie looked at Hu Beizong and continued quietly: "I have a batch of goods that will be sent to Wang Zhi."

"The place of delivery is in Yingtian Mansion."

"If nothing else happens, I can use this batch of goods to meet Wang Zhi."

Hu Beizong has heard this for the second time, but he still can't believe his ears.

He forcibly concealed his shocked expression: "Is this true?"

First ask what you are saying, and then ask whether it is true.

Seriously or not, it makes a big difference.

"Of course it is true." Fang Bie said concisely.

"Aren't you afraid that I will send someone to arrest you right now?" Hu Beizong said without any threat, "Tongwa is a capital offense."

Yes, it is a capital crime to communicate with the Japanese, but those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes.

According to the court's calculation, Fang Bie's death crimes are no longer one or two.

Therefore, if there are many lice, there is no need to worry about debts.

"If the Governor is willing, he can arrest me now." Fang Bie looked at Hu Beizong and said with a smile.

A gentle smile that is harmless to humans and animals.

Xue Ling on the side curled her lips calmly.

What Fang Bie enjoys the most is probably the feeling that you can't get rid of me even though you clearly don't like me.

At this time, Hu Beizong also noticed Xue Ling.

"May I ask who you are?" Hu Beizong looked at Xue Ling and asked.

"Under Xue Lin." Xue Ling said calmly.

"Lin Xue, Lin Xue is such a good name." Hu Beizong murmured, and after saying this, he turned his gaze to Fang Bie again: "Dare to ask Fang Shaoxia, what is the purpose of telling me this?"

Hu Beizong asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Fang Bie sighed in his heart.

Those who can ascend to the position of great officials in the frontier are all human beings, especially those who climbed up step by step. Don't make any sense. good friend.

There are some things that are better for Fang Bie to say.

"Could it be that Governor Hu is planning to stand by and watch?" Fang Bie looked at Hu Beizong and continued.

Hu Beizong looked at Fang Bie: "May I ask Fang Shaoxia what advice he has?"

Fang Bie could only turn his attention to Guang Jiqi, facing this kind of muddy Tai Chi pushing hands, Fang Bie couldn't do it, so he had to ask others for help.

And Guang Jiqi smiled: "My lord, let me and Fang Shaoxia go to see Wang Zhi with my own eyes, and talk to Wang Zhi face to face, what do you think, Master Hu?"

"Yes." Hu Beizong finally nodded approvingly.

……

……

Hu Beizong stayed in this hut just waiting for the arrival of Fang Bie and Guang Jiqi. After seeing the two of them, there was no need to stay in the hut. The group continued to escort Hu Beizong and sent him back to Liangjiang Governor's Mansion. Hu Beizong re-entered the vermilion gate, and Fang Bie breathed a sigh of relief standing outside the gate.

And Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie: "Brother Fang, won't you go in together?"

"No, no, the authority inside is too great, so I'm not used to it." Fang Bie looked at Guangjiqi and said with a smile, "Besides, I've always been used to controlling everything within my own ability, and when I entered a strange place, I was in control." The strength will naturally decrease.”

"That's why I told Shang Jiuge to meet Hu Beizong there."

"That girl from Shang..." Guang Jiqi recalled Shang Jiuge's appearance, and Shang Jiuge left on his own after handing over Hu Beizong, and did not stay where he was, so it was only left to Guangjiqi. edge.

But although Miss Shang is not around, there are still legends of Miss Shang circulating in the world.

According to those personal guards, Guang Jiqi has roughly understood the whole story. There is no doubt that Zhao, the hive assassin who came to assassinate Hu Beizong, is definitely not inferior to Yan Jiu. Entering the land of no one wanted to kill Hu Beizong, if Shang Jiuge hadn't made the move in the end, then probably he would have succeeded.

"Shang Jiuge." Fang Bie quietly reminded.

"Miss Shang seems to be very strong." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said thoughtfully.

"That's quite strong." Fang Bie sighed: "Do you know the Huashan faction? She is the leader of the Huashan faction, do you understand?"

"Huashan faction? Her?" Guangji Qihuashan faction still knows about it. After all, under the shadow of a famous tree, Huashan faction occupies Huashan, a famous mountain and great river, and its reputation will naturally spread far and wide.

"She's too young." Shang Jiuge's natural talent and skills are such that people can't recognize her as Shang Jiuge at all.

"That's why she is Shang Jiuge." Fang Bie said indifferently, and at this moment, a housekeeper in gray came in from the gate of Liangjiang Governor's Mansion: "May I ask who is Miss Lin?"

Lin Xue was taken aback: "I am."

"That's it, my lord invited Miss Lin to come in for a chat, and ask Miss Lin if she's a compliment." The housekeeper in gray said softly, making no one feel the slightest bit of distaste.

"What if I don't go?" Lin Xue asked back.

"My lord said, if Miss Lin doesn't want to come, then don't force her." The gray-clothed butler said.

Lin Xue nodded and looked at Fang Bie.

Fang Bie smiled: "You make the decision."

Lin Xue looked at the gray-clothed butler, pondered for a moment, then looked at Fang Bie: "Then I'll go back as soon as I go."

The housekeeper in gray watched all this calmly, without saying a word. When Lin Xue made a decision, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Lin, come with me."

Fang Bie quietly watched Lin Xue's back disappear behind the rich family.

"Brother Fang, don't worry." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie's expression, and said with a grin: "Master Hu has always been upright and not close to women."

Fang Bie couldn't help laughing: "I'm not worried about this."

"I would like to ask, is there any relationship between Governor Hu and the Commander-in-Chief of Jin Yiwei back then?"

"Master Jin Yiwei Commander?" Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie, his expression suddenly changed: "You mean Xue Ping?"

Xue Ping's reputation in the imperial court was really too great. Basically, when he mentioned the Commander of Jinyiwei, almost everyone defaulted to the original Master Xue.

"Who else could it be?" Fang Bie said with a faint smile, "Did Governor Hu ever receive the shady favor from that lord back then?"

Guang Jiqi was stunned, he looked around, if he hadn't been concerned about Fang Bie's martial arts, he might have rushed up and covered Fang Bie's mouth: "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense."

"That's it." Fang Bie smiled: "Anyway, General Guang seems to have no place to live in Yingtian Mansion."

"Then why don't you come and stay on my boat for a while."

……

……

Lin Xue followed the gray-clothed butler through the halls and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a small study.

"Girl, please come in, Mr. Hu is waiting there." The gray-clothed butler said.

Xue Ling nodded, patted her chest lightly to calm herself down, and then opened the door and entered.

Just as the housekeeper in gray clothes said, Hu Beizong was sitting in front of the window of the study, and in front of him was a clump of green bamboos, verdant and verdant, which was truly gratifying.

"The ancients said, you can eat without meat, but you can't live without bamboo."

Hu Beizong raised his head and looked at Lin Xue: "Miss Lin, take a look at the decoration of my study, does it suit the girl's new ideas?"

Xue Ling didn't look around.

how to say.

The study of the governor of Liangjiang was of course decorated by famous masters. If the study is not well furnished, there are only two possibilities. The first is that the owner himself has strange aesthetics. The second situation is that the previous owner set up a nondescript study room, and the next owner is too lazy or unable to change it, so he can only make do with it.

Of course, Hu Beizong naturally does not belong to the above two situations. He is a Jinshi and has no political background. , all need to appoint Hu Beizong, a capable minister and titan, and now Hu Beizong can assume the position of Governor of Liangjiang and is as stable as Mount Tai.

"Master Hu's study is naturally good." Xue Ling said.

"I wonder how Master Xue's study compares?" Hu Beizong said lightly.

Xue Ling looked at Hu Beizong: "I don't know what Master Hu means."

Hu Beizong smiled: "Do you know why I met Miss Xue here?"

"That year when I took office in Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, the Japanese pirates were in full swing. I was devastated and had nowhere to go. I thought that my fame might be ruined in one day."

"And at this time, Master Xue Ping sent a letter from Yanjing, asking me if I'm still used to living in Yingtian Mansion."

"I replied that board and lodging are all available, but there is no good bamboo in the courtyard."

"As a result, on the tenth day after I sent the letter, Mr. Xue sent someone to take several beautiful bamboos from Wuyi Mountain and sent them to me."

Hu Beizong pointed in front of him: "Look, these are the few plants."

"When I came to the south of the Yangtze River, I didn't get used to the water and soil. Instead, the place where I grew up became greener and more pleasant."

Xue Ling didn't speak.

Hu Beizong smiled: "I made the girl laugh."

"I wrote to Mr. Xue, saying that there is no bamboo here, of course it is not just as simple as there is no bamboo."

"After all, no matter how incompetent I am as the governor of Liangjiang, I can't even get a few bamboos."

"What I was worried about at the time was that there was no one under my command, and the unscrupulous wood and good bamboo were the pillars of the house, my thighs."

"Master Xue Ping saw my difficulties at a glance, so he not only sent the bamboo to me, but also the people who sent the bamboo were all under Master Xue's most proud underlings. Chen Shou's party really made a great contribution."

"I have used these bamboos for three years. After three years, the foundation has been established."

"When I wanted to return these bamboos to Mr. Xue, a shocking accident occurred in the court." Hu Beizong looked at Xue Ling: "Xue Ping, the commander of Jinyiwei, died strangely overnight."

"Master Xue Ping has only married one wife in his life, and has no son, only one daughter."

"His intention is to prove to the emperor that he has no son, so he has no ambition."

"After all, in this world since ancient times, apart from that Emperor Zetian, is there any woman who can ascend to the Great Treasure, the Ninth Five-Year Honor?"

"Because Master Xue has too much power in his hands."

"On weekdays, such a position should be occupied by a nine-thousand-year-old. Although we scholars and officials don't like those eunuchs, even I have to admit that eunuchs are good at least, but eunuchs can't be emperors. , is one of the emperor's dogs."

"The emperor tells him to bite whoever he bites. One day, the emperor doesn't want to raise it. A note can be inserted through the palace gate to kill the dog and let the servants vent their anger. By the way, he can also make soup and cook meat for food."

"Eunuchs are slaves all their lives, but Mr. Xue is not a slave."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Lord Xue would be so loyal that he would eventually be jealous of the king and end up like this."

Xue Ling pressed her lips lightly: "How did you recognize me?"

If the words Hu Beizong said to Xue Ling today were heard by a third person, then it would be a crime of disrespect.

Great disrespect, and bullying the emperor are both capital offenses.

"When Ms. Xue was young, I met her several times. However, I was not Mr. Xue's confidant. I was not in the past, not now, and I will not be in the future." Hu Beizong said lightly: "So I will never enter Mr. Xue's business rashly. In my private house, I, Hu Zhenru, have no friends or party all my life, and I only seek the benefit of the country and the well-being of all people."

"I asked Mr. Xue for bamboo because I believe that Mr. Xue is also a pillar of the country who puts the country first, and does not pay attention to the interests of cronies."

"Master Xue has lived his whole life worthy of the country."

Xue Ling bit her lips tightly: "Stop talking."

She murmured; "Don't say any more."

"How did my father die?"

"I don't want to figure it out anymore."

Because more and more evidence points to the only person who has the ability to do it, and what is unclear now is the details.

But what's the use of knowing the details?

In the end, could Xue Ling really be able to kill that person for revenge?

"How Master Xue died, I actually don't know." Hu Beizong sighed: "If the sage really wanted to kill Master Xue, then he would just issue an imperial edict to kill him, even if Master Xue's disciples are full of old officials. The world, but no matter how big it is, is it bigger than Prime Minister Hu?"

"No matter how Prime Minister Hu died, Mr. Xue can't escape."

"However, the exact cause of Lord Xue's death is still a mystery."

"Even the position of the high officials in the court hasn't changed much."

"Actually, it's not just me. At least half of the senior officials in the DPRK and other parties have more or less received the favor of Master Xue. For Master Xue, we have some compassion in our hearts, but for these compassion , we can’t directly question the saint on the table above.”

"But the voice in the bottom of my heart is the most undeceitful."

Hu Beizong looked at Xue Ling: "Actually, I called the girl this time, just to ask a question."

"What is the girl thinking?"

"I want to inherit your father's behest and complete his unfinished business."

"Or."

"I just want to live my life well."
