Chapter 21 Help(1/2)
In the Nanxin County yamen, Bai Shier was still discussing a fishing plan with Huang Xiangfu to use Bai Shier as bait.
Although this plan is not difficult, it is not that easy to implement it.
The most troublesome thing is obviously the manpower problem.
He is the only one who can use Bai Shier. As for Zhu Jinxuan, even if Zhu Jinxuan makes great progress in martial arts, he will not be assured that she will act alone.
As for Huang Xiangfu, although there are many people who can use it at hand, skills and trust are very problematic.
It seems that the sixth-rank magistrate has a lot of power, but as a transcendent, it is already quite difficult for a magistrate to be in power for four years. Basically, it is only three years later, and you have to move to another place to serve according to your performance.
Huang Xiangfu is naturally no exception. He only came to Nanxin County to serve as the magistrate last year. In just one year, he could not cultivate any confidants.
Especially, the situation in Nanxin County is still so complicated. The government offices, government offices, county offices and other large and small yamen are all in Nanxin County. The relationship between the yamen is complicated. Huang Xiangfu, the magistrate, just sounds good. If you really encounter something, you will have no credit and you will take the blame.
Just like this event.
The only thing he could trust was perhaps a loyal servant and a close follower he brought from his family. Apart from these two people, even his master, he dared not fully trust him.
But just because of the movements of nearly a hundred people in the county government who wanted to monitor Huang Xiangfu and a close to a hundred people in the whole county government, it was a fantasy.
It is of great importance. No matter how strong Huang Xiangfu is, no matter how trusted Huang Xiangfu trusts his two loyal servants, it is impossible for them to do this.
Therefore, Huang Xiangfu wanted to make the Jinyiwei behind Bai Shier come out.
After all, tracking and monitoring are originally good at the Jinyiwei. When Emperor Taizu first founded the Jinyiwei, he was able to record the clothes, words, and even the seats of his ministers when they gathered together to drink.
But how could Huang Xiangfu know that Bai Shier just pulled the tiger skin of the Jinyiwei as a big banner. Even his identity as the Jinyiwei small flag was still obtained by his wife.
Before, it was just because of the face of the princess Zhu Jinxuan that Bai Shier could mobilize the power of the Jinyiwei. Now he took Zhu Jinxuan to "elope" and avoided the claws of the Jinyiwei, so how could he be foolish and fall into the trap?
Even if he took a step back, he did not take Zhu Jinxuan to "escape", he could still use the light of his wife to mobilize the Jinyiwei. At this time, how could there be half of the Jinyiwei in Hongdu City for him to mobilize?
So in the face of Huang Xiangfu's suggestion, Bai Shier immediately refused very decisively using the excuse that it might attract the attention of Tianyan Sect and then exposed it.
He didn't want to leave any possible thoughts for Huang Xiangfu.
Therefore, when one party was powerless, the other party was powerless and even more unintentional, the discussion on the action plan between the two was stranded.
But neither Bai Shier nor Huang Xiangfu wanted to miss this good opportunity.
Especially Huang Xiangfu, not mentioning the death order given to him by the prefect Chen Anwu this time, just considering that the contributions he could get after he could really help the Jinyiwei to wipe out such a cult-like organization like Tianyan Sect would be enough to make him extremely moved.
He has long since wanted to stay in this position as the magistrate of Guo Provincial Capital.
If he can earn enough credit this time, work harder and do some work, and ask a few seats and classmates to help him mention a few words in front of the imperial court, it will be enough for him to escape from Nanxin County and move his official position upwards.
“Five,”
After thinking for a long time, Huang Xiangfu, who had finally made up his mind, took the lead in breaking the silence, stood up, walked around for two rounds, stared at Bai Shier, stared at him and said.
"I only have the best players among the five Jinyiwei."
"Five people?"
Bai Shier was a little startled by his appearance, but he quickly calmed down and looked at him with a little suspicion. He seemed to be worried that he had heard it wrong, so he stretched out his right hand, spread his five fingers open, and asked in front of Huang Xiangfu.
"But there are only five people."
Huang Xiangfu, who understood why Bai Shier asked this question, nodded heavily.
"If you can guarantee that five good men from the Jinyiwei will come to help me, then I will be sure to convince the Lord of the Taishang University."
"What do you want to do?"
Bai Shier is interested.
"The county government blocked, released the wind and made a move, and the inner demon appeared."
Huang Xiangfu stared at her still blood-red eyes, looked at Bai Shier deeply, and slowly spit out sixteen words.
“Good idea.”
A hint of surprise appeared on Bai Shier's face, but he immediately felt relieved.
Apart from the nerds who are really stupid in reading, those who can squeeze through that single-plank bridge are not stupid in any place.
"However, two, I can only guarantee that there are two people who can come to help you. As for whether the remaining three can come, it's not something I can say."
Bai Shier still did not agree to Huang Xiangfu's request, but stretched out two fingers.
But he didn't say anything to death. While giving Huang Xiangfu hope, he also deepened Huang Xiangfu's previous impression of him again. Because of Huang Xiangfu's performance just now, he decided to add another insurance to himself.
No one can underestimate this dangerous world!
"good."
After pondering for a while again, when Bai Shier was about to worry about whether Huang Xiangfu would look at him, Huang Xiangfu finally closed his blood-red eyes and nodded slowly.
At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and lunch had already passed. The two of them did not dare to delay any more. After making plans and their respective responsibilities, they immediately took action separately.
Needless to say, Huang Xiangfu left the county government office and immediately went straight to the government office again.
After secretly discussing with Chen Anwu for a stick of incense, Chen Anwu also agreed with Huang Xiangfu's idea.
Like Huang Xiangfu, he was just a vain official, and obviously he had long since wanted to be the prefect of Hongdu Mansion, which was suppressed by the governor's yamen.
After obtaining Chen Anwu's consent, Huang Xiangfu returned to the county yard and immediately recruited three yamen runners, and then ordered the gate of the yamen to be closed, and all three yamen runners patrolled the county yard and no one was allowed to go out.
Faced with Huang Xiangfu's sudden order, the entire county government was undoubtedly in a panic, and various suspicions and rumors spread throughout the county government in an instant.
However, Huang Xiangfu, who had been prepared for a long time, obviously did not let these rumors ferment for too long. After the three yamen runners determined that all the clerks and Bai Yao and other personnel were staying in the county yamen. After confirming that the time he had agreed with Bai Shier before, he immediately threw out a more shocking news than all the previous yamen:
Bai Wu, the guard guard who was summoned before, was actually a spy from the Jinyiwei.
The spy of the Jinyiwei also brought news about the four murderers who committed murder in the street with sharp weapons in the morning. Not only that, they also went further and grasped the origin of the forces behind the four murderers. Therefore, after thinking for a long time, the magistrate decided to abandon his prejudice against the Jinyiwei, cooperated with the Jinyiwei, and launched a surprise attack at night to wipe out the forces behind the four murderers.
But because I was worried that the news would be leaked, I decided to block the county government before the operation was over and beware of the spread of the news.
The incident happened suddenly. The magistrate hopes that you can cooperate and endure it. If anyone dares to go out privately regardless of the ban, they will be dealt with as a gangster!
After Huang Xiangfu's order, the county government, which was already in full swing, suddenly became more lively.
Especially the three yamen runners who would definitely participate in the arrest at night were even more distressed and anxious.
Those who dare to commit crimes in the downtown area with sharp weapons in broad daylight must not be good. If they really act with the Jinyiwei at night, even if they just cooperate with the Jinyiwei, it would probably be a dangerous situation.
But they were eating this bite of rice. No matter how reluctant they were in their hearts, they would not dare to speak to Huang Xiangfu at this time.
At least I don't dare to do it for the time being.
As for whether they will make any trouble when they are about to set off, they obviously can only wait until then to find out.
...
Huang Xiangfu was brutal and decisive, but Bai Shier obviously did not have such smoothness.
At this time, the entire Jinyiwei was full of his mind on the batch of treasures worth more than 100,000 taels, and he had no extra energy to come to Hongdu City to get involved in this matter.
After thinking about it, Bai Shier felt that the only helper he could find at this time was Hu Xiaolin.
But he didn't know whether Hu Xiaolin came alone or brought a group of subordinates.
After all, in the letter he left to Hu Xiaolin before taking Zhu Jinxuan, he tried his best to persuade Hu Xiaolin not to act collectively even if he was worried about following him, so as not to alarm the enemy.
In addition, Bai Shier was obviously more worried that Hu Xiaolin would not help him. After all, from Hu Xiaolin's standpoint, the only thing he needed to do was to protect Zhu Jinxuan's safety.
Put yourself in your shoes and think about it. If he and Hu Xiaolin's identities change, I'm afraid that he will control himself the moment he sees him, then force Zhu Jinxuan to find out whereabouts, and then immediately take him away from Hongdu Prefecture and return to the capital.
Apart from these two worries, Bai Shier had nothing to worry about.
As for whether he could not find Hu Xiaolin's whereabouts during the agreed time with Huang Xiangfu, he had never been worried about this from beginning to end.
He believed that with Hu Xiaolin's sense of smell, he was afraid that when he was taken out of the east of the city by the constable from Nanxin County Government, Hu Xiaolin had already noticed him, and then followed him all the way to the county government, preparing to block his retreat.
And the reality is similar to what he expected.
As soon as he walked out of the county government, he saw a middle-aged man who looked similar to Hu Xiaolin and was wearing a businessman's clothing, but didn't look like a businessman at all. He was looking at the gate of the county government from time to time.
After walking out of the door and looking at the other party, he was completely convinced that the other party was Hu Xiaolin.
As for the other party's face that looks completely different from Hu Xiaolin...
Well, it seems that Gu Daliang also followed Hu Xiaolin into Hongdu Prefecture City. However, compared to Hu Xiaolin who could see through the disguise at a glance, he really couldn't see which person was Gu Daliang's disguise.
However, Bai Shier was not dissatisfied with this.
At least, with Gu Daliang's presence, he promised Huang Xiangfu that he could support at least two people would not have to break his promise.
Bai Shier, who was thinking like this, raised the corners of his mouth slightly. After disguised, Hu Xiaolin walked straight towards the other party in the shocked look on his face.
"Find a place to talk."
Ignoring Hu Xiaolin's face that seemed to have seen a ghost, Bai Shier, who had also disguised himself, whispered.
"Okay, come with me."
Hu Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, immediately came to his senses and nodded.
After the figures with Hu Xiaolin and Bai Shier had turned around and disappeared at the corner, a vendor who had been staying there selling mung bean soup for people to relieve the heat seemed to have no business, and took on the burden in a bit disappointed manner. While shouting, he slowly disappeared at the corner in the direction where Hu Xiaolin and Bai Shier disappeared.
After one-third of the incense stick, the vendor appeared in Hu Xiaolin and Bai Shier's eyes again. When Bai Shier saw Hu Xiaolin calling each other over when he saw the convenience, he finally realized that the vendor was Gu Daliang.
"I haven't seen each other for many days, Brother Gu's disguise skills have become more and more sophisticated."
