General, he's cheating again

Two days later, in front of the window of the Linfu Bookstore in Kyoto, a delicate and small white porcelain tea bowl was thrown from the air with the tea soup on it and hit the messenger pigeon standing on the window sill with its wings folded.

The edge of the bowl knocked against the white wall under the window, leaving a few pieces of dark green tea leaves and a piece of water stains, and then fell to the ground and broke into several petals of different sizes. Surprised, it raised its head and neighed, then spread its wings and flew away from the window in a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

"You...you say it again, Qin Qingrong and Gu Zhen are still alive?

waste!It's all trash!

Several assassinations have failed even once, what use is this old man asking you to do! "

Dong Wen in the bookstore had just finished reading the first line of the letter after receiving it, when Lin Wenshan was furious, throwing things and swearing.

"Reporting to Prime Minister Lin, the original intention of assassinating the lower official this time was to let Yu Duocheng deliberately disclose the news that Han Zhaocen was hiding in the black market to Gu Zhen, and then ordered Chen Linxiang to help lead Gu Zhen and others to go to the black market to arrest Han Zhaocen, and finally fell into the trap we previously arranged. In a good assassination trap."

Dong Wen knelt down on his knees and didn't dare to look up at the expression on Lin Wenshan's face at the moment. He said helplessly, "I didn't expect that Yu Duocheng was so frightened. Dungeon and gave him a sum of money to spend the rest of his life in peace, but he still revealed everything in the letter in front of Gu Zhen.

As for Mr. Chen, Gu Zhen has long been suspicious of him. Along the way, he sent Hua Yan, the master of the Hundred Poison Hall, to keep a close eye on Mr. Chen's every move, so Mr. Chen just received a message from his subordinate Hua Yan discovered it when he sent out the letter.

As a result, Gu Zhen and others saw through the trap this time, they were prepared to deal with the assassination and finally successfully captured Han Zhaocen. "

"Useless trash!"

Lin Wenshan clenched his fists tightly, his long and narrow eyes revealed hatred. He gritted his teeth and thought about something for a while, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his expression, and he said: "But this time, I was careless, I thought I could put those two together. People were pressed to death on the road, so they didn't take so many precautions.

Mr. Dong, since the matter has come to this, are you sure there will be no trouble with Han Zhaocen?If he is also a person who can't keep his mouth shut, it will be bad to talk nonsense with Gu Zhen and others. "

"Mr. Lin, this officer is about to talk about this matter." Dong Wen's voice was already crying, "You must know that Gu Zhen has always been a cruel person, and he has countless tortures in his mind to torture people. Han Zhaocen is not a person who has suffered A professionally trained dead soldier failed in the end.

Lin Xiang, Han Zhaocen, he has already confessed to the subordinate officials.

Thinking that Gu Zhen and others will return to the capital in a few days, they also ask Lin Xiang to save the life of the next official! "

Hearing that Lin Wenshan couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up unconsciously with his pupils dilated, fixed his eyes on Dong Wen who was kneeling on the ground, turned his hands into fists behind his back, and paced back and forth in the room continuously.

For a long time, Lin Wenshan's eyes flashed a glint of evil, he stopped and turned to look at Dong Wen and asked gloomily: "Master Dong, you just said that Han Zhaocen only confessed to you, didn't you?"

"Lin Xiang... Lin Xiang, what do you mean by asking that? Don't you intend to save the officer?"

Dong Wen raised his face in fear, his eyes full of fear were bloodshot, "Mr. Lin, although it is true that the mastermind of the private storage of salt and iron is a lower official, but don't forget, he advocates the private distribution of salt and iron to foreign states to gather forces. It is you who seek to rebel.

If the lower official can't survive, I'm afraid that the lower official will shake off the matter, and Prime Minister Lin will also die. "

"Hmph, the old man's influence in the court is complicated, and if you want to bring down the old man, I'm afraid you haven't reached the stage yet." Lin Wenshan sneered, "Master Dong, the old man will show you a clear path today. , Mr. Dong must know that this road will be your best choice, and it will also be your only choice.

Now that most of the truth about the Yantie case has been revealed, the old man has no choice but to choose the strategy of abandoning the car to protect the handsome man.

Mr. Dong, if you are willing to take the blame for this salt and iron case alone, no matter in the future the emperor will punish you or exile you, I will keep your wife and children safe and let them spend the rest of their lives in peace.

But if you, Mr. Dong, still want to tear yourself apart after hearing this, then don’t blame the old man for not reminding you. You must know that the old man is fully capable of killing you before Gu Zhen and the others return to Beijing, and then fabricate another evidence Come and put the blame on you.

What kind of situation your Dong family will be in at that time, the old man will not know and will not care about it anymore. "

Unexpectedly, Lin Wenshan was so cold-blooded and ruthless. Dong Wen sat paralyzed on the ground. He raised his eyes to see Lin Wenshan's confident expression at the moment, his complexion turned paler, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He choked up and said, "Okay... sir, I understand. gone."

"Hahahaha." Lin Wenshan showed a satisfied look on his face, "Master Dong is indeed a smart person.

However, in order to prevent incidents like Han Zhaocen from happening again, the old man has to act cautiously now.

Since only the dead in this world can't speak, it's better to ask Mr. Dong to write an apology before Gu Zhen returns to Beijing, and then kill him as soon as possible. Only in this way can the old man be completely relieved. "

From the inside and outside meaning of these words, Lin Wenshan wanted him to commit suicide.

With despair in his eyes, Dong Wen weakly supported his body and stood up from the ground, as if he was a walking corpse without any expression.

Hearing this, he didn't answer, he bowed his head to Lin Wenshan to say goodbye, and then left Lin's mansion in a daze.

In the room, Lin Wenshan watched Dong Wen leave until his figure disappeared from his sight. He slumped back on the soft chair and his eyes were absorbed in thinking about something.

He thought that a few years ago Dong Wen was just a little-known Jinshi from a poor family, and later he was able to sit on the position of Yantie envoy because he was lucky enough to meet him.

Over the years, Dong Wen, as one of his many henchmen, has often contributed a lot to his adventurous actions.But now, just after Gu Zhen returned to Beijing, he actually wiped out this powerful helper.

Lin Wenshan's vitality was greatly hurt by Dong Wen's defeat. You must know that the envoy of Yantie is a very important position in the court. Lin Wenshan secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to prevent this position from being placed on the emperor's side. people.

In the afternoon of that day, Gu Zhen and his party had already prepared their chariots and horses to take the prisoners and leave Tanzhou to return to Beijing.

Outside Chen Linxiang's carriage, Hua Yan rode beside his carriage and chatted with him all the way.

In fact, Chen Linxiang didn't want to spend more time with Hua Yan, but he was always so cowardly that he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only lift up the curtain with a smiling face to flatter him.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, since you are colleagues with that Dong Wen, you should know him very well."

Hua Yan was wearing a red dress and black hair fluttering wantonly in the sunshine and breeze. Although he could see that Chen Linxiang would be uncomfortable and even a little afraid of him, Hua Yan just pretended not to see him and chattered. Chen Linxiang chatted, "Quickly tell the hall master what kind of person that Dong Wen is, who dares to commit such a serious crime as hiding salt and iron."

Chen Linxiang looked up at the sun and squinted his eyes. He scratched his face in embarrassment and thought: "Mr. Dong, he handles things in an orderly manner, and has a good relationship with everyone in the department. He is a man, humble and kind.

But I heard that his family was very poor in the early years, and he suffered a lot to be able to sit in the position of promotion envoy.Cough... Unlike my official, he has a wealthy family and some contacts.

I remember that at the beginning, Mr. Dong had a low self-esteem and an introverted personality. Because of this, he went to other countries to discuss cooperation several times, but he fell short.However, he is willing to work hard and is not afraid of failure, so he grows up very quickly, and soon he is able to do things on his own and get better and better. "

Hua Yan thought about it and said, "Oh? Then according to what you say, this Dong Wen is still a good official?"

"No, no, no! This officer doesn't mean that."

Chen Linxiang subconsciously glanced at Gu Zhen in front of him, and was startled in his heart, for fear that Gu Zhen and the others thought he was helping the murderer and would suspect him again.

He sighed helplessly and said: "Master Hua, as the saying goes, you know people, know faces, but don't know your heart. I didn't expect Mr. Dong to risk committing such a serious crime."

Knowing that Hua Yan is a cunning and tricky master, Chen Linxiang was afraid that if he continued talking with Hua Yan, he would cause any trouble.He put his hands on his chest, sighed and pretended to be sick, and said weakly: "Oh, the carriage is very bumpy today, I feel a little uncomfortable in my chest now.

Hall Master Hua is really sorry, I won't talk to you after taking a rest for a while, I hope you understand me, I hope you understand me. "

After finishing speaking, he lowered the curtain, and Chen Linxiang hid in the carriage to calm down. Hua Yan curled his lips in displeasure outside the carriage, feeling bored.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in Qin Qingrong's carriage was particularly weird.

Because of the private actions of Qin Qingrong and others, Ye Ruan has been sulking for two days. Although he is sitting in the same carriage with Qin Qingrong at this moment, he does not say a word to Qin Qingrong, with a cold face as if someone owed him 800 million recently. Two debts are not repaid.

Seeing that Qin Qingrong was still reading a book by himself, Ye Ruan slapped the folding fan on the table hard, finally couldn't take it anymore, he said helplessly: "Qing Rong, so you really respect my friend, Mr. It doesn't matter at all, right?"

Seeing that Qin Qingrong put down the book, he felt amused and shook his head slightly at Ye Ruan, "I have already explained the reason to you, and Gu Zhen has also apologized to you. But if you still sulk and ignore me, I won't either. I know what to do, so I have to let you calm down first."

Apologize?Ye Ru'an carefully recalled the appearance of Gu Zhen apologizing to him at that time, that guy pretended to be pitiful and innocent in front of Qin Qingrong, his attitude seemed sincere, but Ye Ru'an could clearly feel the narrow-minded pride in Gu Zhen's eyes .

Ye Ru'an sighed softly, then looked at Qin Qingrong and suddenly suggested, "Forget it, I don't blame you for this matter. Qingrong, didn't you tell me before that you asked my mother to help you find a girl in the capital to be your wife?" ?

In the past few days, I have written a letter to my mother, and I think we can see each other after we return to Beijing. "

Seeing Qin Qingrong's hesitation, Ye Ru'an secretly gritted his teeth and knew that Qin Qingrong was probably thinking of Gu Zhen at the moment, and now he was even more sure that Qin Qingrong had a crush on Gu Zhen.

Feeling relieved for a while, Ye Ru'an reminded again in a cold voice: "Qingrong, Uncle Qin has passed away for many years, and you are not too young now, if he is still alive, he would definitely hope that you have already married and can continue the incense of the Qin family.

No matter what, you must remember to put the Qin family first in everything you do, and don't disappoint Uncle Qin's hopes for you. "
