The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Qin Zhong walked into the teahouse and went straight to the second floor.

Lin Mingyu put down the teacup in his hand, and looked in the direction of the stairs.Qin Zhong appeared soon after seeing Lin Mingyu, there was no surprise on his expression, he smiled slightly, and walked over with ease.

"Mingyu, I didn't expect you and I to meet again in this border area outside the Great Wall."

Qin Zhong sat down directly opposite him, put his fan on the table, and looked at him with a smile on his face.There is a kind of demeanor in his eyes, which makes the whole person look different compared with before, the eyebrows and eyes are still the same, fair skin, sharp chin, male and female appearance, but it is that little difference that makes people feel different from each other. When he looked at each other, he wouldn't think of obscenity so easily.

Maybe it's because there is more firmness in his eyes. He used to be a rootless duckweed, with hooks in his eyes when he looked at people, and he always seemed to be weighing what price he could sell.Now the hook in his eyes is gone, and he has self-esteem.Lin Mingyu thought, there will be a harvest today.

"Xiao Er, serve me another pot of tea." Lin Mingyu looked at Qin Zhong and laughed, "When did you find me?"

Qin Zhong's smile deepened: "I went to the government office first, met General Jiang, and then I want to know about your affairs. It's actually very simple." Jiang Shandu knew that Lin Mingyu was investigating Zhou Shouhe, this is an admission, Zhou Shou He was indeed on the same boat as Jiang Shandu.

"King Zhongshun is going to give up on you? So, you find Zhou Shouhe, who has always been at odds with Jiang Shandu. Zhou Shouhe is a dark chess game used by King Zhongshun to divert our attention. Since you know that I am staring at him, why not?" Help me? Or help yourself?"

"Hehe, Mingyu, I've always felt that although you like to talk about scenes, you understand it very well. You used to be like this in Jia's mansion, but now, it's even more so than before. Since you guessed it, I'll just say it."

The smile on Qin Zhong's face gradually faded,

"I came here to deliver a letter under the order of King Zhongshun. They said they were escorting me, but they kept watch over me, as if they were afraid that I would run away. I knew something was wrong, so I took the opportunity to secretly After opening this letter, guess what I saw?" Qin Zhong smiled wryly, but did not wait for Lin Mingyu's answer, and continued: "It was a blank piece of paper with nothing in it. I checked it repeatedly and finally confirmed it. , what the prince gave me is this blank secret letter. Since it is blank, why did you let me make such a big trip? I know too many things. When Tu Shuo had an accident, I was by his side but could not Doing anything for him, I think, this is also one of the reasons why the prince is angry with me. I was afraid in my heart, after I arrived in Yiyang, I followed those people into the government office and saw Jiang Shandu. This fool, he is not at all Knowing the purpose of the prince sending me here, and knowing my identity, he thought I belonged to the prince's mansion... He didn't dare to neglect me, but he also despised me and confessed me from a distance. I pay attention to the movement of the mansion, and believe Do your best to make friends with people. Fortunately, when I entered the government office, the prince sent someone to guard me, so he relaxed a little, maybe he knew that I was an abandoned child, so he didn't care about me."

"King Zhongshun is going to abandon Jiang Shandu?"

Qin Zhongdao: "That's right. Two people who don't know each other's intentions are put together. How could the lord spend such thoughts on such a purposeless matter. I worked hard in the government office and finally knew their plan. Jiang Shandu received The secret order is to try your best to delay the time for you to deliver the grain and grass to the front line, because it will not hurt people's lives, and you will not rob the grain and grass. In the worst case, it is also a crime of negligence. , and I was afraid that you would find out soon, so I pretended to be disparate in the government office, and pushed Zhou Shouhe out, making you think that you could find out something from him, and finally pinned the pot on the head of Prince Xianyi Zhong. After I found out, Immediately try to get in touch with Zhou Shouhe, and think that with your intelligence, you may be able to perceive his true position from my contact with him."

Lin Mingyu thought while listening, then asked: "Then do you know why King Zhongshun asked Jiang Shandu to hold us back and what happened outside the city?"

Qin Zhong shook his head and sighed: "I'm also investigating these things, but it's a fluke for me to know this secret order, and Zhou Shouhe doesn't know much, but, as he said, Jiang Shandu , and another hidden horse."

Lin Mingyu's spirit was shaken, and he hurriedly asked: "Does he know how many people there are and where are they?"

Qin Zhong looked at him with a half-smile, but didn't answer.Lin Mingyu knew that he was too impatient. Since Qin Zhong came to look for him, he must have made a request. How could he just enjoy the information provided by the other party without paying an equivalent price.

"What do you want me to help you with? A way out?" Lin Mingyu said.

Qin Zhong lowered his head, rubbed his fingers slowly on the fan, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said to Lin Mingyu: "No, it's not me alone, it's two people. I need you to give me a promise to keep the two people's lives." life."

"You and Zhou Shouhe, you two..." Lin Mingyu understood.

Qin Zhong laughed, his brows and eyes were soft with shyness, he was often shy, and the faint blush on his fair face made people feel pity, but the shyness at those times was fake, he made a living Tool, only at this moment, at this moment, in front of a person who knows his past, admits that he is in love with another person, this kind of shyness of having a loved one is his true feelings from the bottom of his heart.

"He hasn't done any bad things. He has no family. The old spies of the Zhongshun Palace took him in. Later, when the man died, the position was passed on to him. Yiyang is far away from the capital, and the prince usually rarely Advisor, what he does is to help the people sent by the lord to make a roster of sergeants, and to erase the existence of some people by taking advantage of the most likely vacancy in the army. If these things are reported, he can't get rid of them It's a capital crime, but he has never killed anyone who shouldn't be killed. I only have this request, I want you to keep us safe, as long as you get away from this matter, I will never trouble you in the future. "

Lin Mingyu thought for a while and asked, "Why are you so sure that I can keep you all? After all, I can't protect myself now."

"Hehe..." Qin Zhong laughed, "You may not know, but I saw the ink jade seal on your body. I heard the prince accidentally said that the person with this seal has a mysterious power behind him. So , you can definitely help me."

Lin Mingyu remained calm on the surface, but was shocked in her heart.In the past, Qin Zhong always flattered and got close to him, so he had doubts in his heart for a long time, and the root cause was here.Since leaving the capital, he himself has forgotten the power represented by Mo Yuzhang. If Qin Zhong hadn't mentioned it, he would not have remembered that he still has such a trump card in his hand.

But I have Mo Yuzhang, how can I use it?

He looked at Qin Zhong and couldn't help but said: "Since you know that I have such a force in my hands, why do you think I need to exchange with you?"

Qin Zhong's face turned pale, and he forced a smile and said: "I'm betting that you need my help, that you can't use that power at the moment, and if you make a mistake, you will die. So I knew that people like me In the end, it was inevitable that I would die, but I never thought that in the end, I could find someone who would treat me wholeheartedly. If I die, God will treat me too hard at that time. I can only blame others, but my own life. .So now, am I betting right?"

Lin Mingyu didn't answer, was silent for a while, and said directly: "I want to meet Zhou Shouhe."

Knowing that he agreed, Qin Zhong couldn't hide his joy, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

Back at the residence, Lin Mingyu told Tu Yan and Su Buzhan how he met Qin Zhong, and only concealed a part of Mo Yuzhang. Before leaving the restaurant, he asked Qin Zhong that there was only one king of Zhongshun. The seal represents a force in the dark, and it is not known whose hands this seal is in.Then, Tu Yan and the others probably haven't heard of this matter either.

"Okay, I'll send someone to tell Jiang Shandu now that we will hold a banquet here tonight and invite the officials of Yiyang Mansion to have wine. These days, I drink with him every day. Maybe in his heart, I'm already a poor man. Surely, this move will not arouse his suspicion." Tu Yan said, then turned around and ordered people to post a post and prepare food and drinks.

"Then I'll watch the wind for you, and leave the other things to Mingyu."

Lin Mingyu patted Su Buzhan's shoulder.The tense hearts of the three people relaxed slightly.All we have to do is wait for tonight's news.

In the evening, the invited people came one after another, and Jiang Shandu came last, exchanged pleasantries with Tu Yan, was exhausted, and after drinking two cups, he presumed that there was military affairs to deal with and left, but the team he brought The guards are still staying in the house, saying that they are in case the drunk people need them, but in fact they are just worried about monitoring.

This matter was originally planned, so Lin Mingyu and the others could not be troubled.

There was a side room in the backyard. When Lin Mingyu entered, the two people waiting inside turned around. "Shouhe, Mingyu, you have already met, so I won't introduce you."

Zhou Shouhe arched his hands, looked at him meaningfully, and said, "Mr. Lin."

Lin Mingyu waved his hand, motioning for a seat. Lin Da brought in a pot of tea, then retreated and stood outside the door.

"There is no one else here. Brother Qin must have told you what I want to know. You don't have to be polite, just speak up if you have anything to say."

Zhou Shouhe is a calm person. He took out two booklets from his arms, put them on the table, and said: "This is the real roster of the empty payment case. This one here is recorded by me for the Zhongshun Palace. People who disappeared from the roster without anyone noticing. These people were raised outside the city in the hands of Jiang Shandu. I have not been able to find out the specific address. But I know that these people have had contact with barbarians .”

Lin Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, and he had a not-so-good association.
