Chapter 38(1/2)
Kang Jinlong, who was once second only to the Qinglong in the East Jitian, was undoubtedly very familiar with the twists and turns among them. After all, he was the one who once used the position of Star Lord to carry the Qinglong, the Lord.
Even if the power of Qinglong's control has dropped seriously, everyone's minds have changed, Kang Jinlong has combined with other factors such as Fang Ritu, and can achieve the following level in the Tianyan Sect, which is highly qualified, but it is enough to prove his ability.
Therefore, for Xuanwu, who is similar in status to Qinglong, has similar thoughts, and even goes further than Qinglong, his thoughts and the speculations of Kang Jinlong are indeed very similar to the facts.
Xuanwu, who had no movement during the three days of returning to the capital, was always planning this plan.
Test whether anyone among the many incense halls under his command betrayed him.
As for the person who implements this plan, it is naturally the one who listens carefully.
For Di Ting, although many people from the North Pole Heaven know their existence, even people who are as close as Wei Tu, and who know a few low-level walks in Di Ting, Di Ting is still mysterious in the eyes of most people from the North Pole Heaven.
Because they knew nothing about Diting except a name and a few low-level walks.
Therefore, Diting undoubtedly became the best candidate for the Xiangtang who spread the news and then monitored the news after it was obtained.
However, there is one thing that Kang Jinlong guessed wrongly.
This time, Xuanwu's main target of temptation was not these incense halls in the North Pole, but the court, or more accurately, the Jinyiwei, the Dongchang and Liushemen, the three most dangerous yamen to him.
For Xuanwu, who is the Lord of the North Pole Heaven and controls the life and death of all the people in the North Pole Heaven, what can he do if a few small incense halls really betray him?
These low-level disciples who probably have never seen him since joining the Arctic Heaven. Even if the incense masters betray him, they cannot express any important information at all, and they don’t even know what he looks like.
At most, it would be just to sell other incense halls or their heads.
Under his strict orders, even if the Lords of the Arctic Heaven who were still in a "dormant" state were confessed, the Jinyiwei, the East Factory Fanzi and the constables of the Six Gate could not find anyone at all, let alone arrest them.
As for other incense halls, they were arrested if they were caught. Even if they were caught, they would not be able to hurt the foundation of the Arctic Heaven. They would flourish again in less than a few years.
After all, in this world, there are not many others, and there are no way out, and even people who can’t afford to eat. I heard that there are millions of refugees in the south alone, and tens of thousands or even more every year. In order to survive, they wander all the way to the Shuntian Prefecture.
Is it difficult to pick out one or two hundred of these tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people with some skills?
So, this time, Xuanwu deliberately asked the people who listened to the news that he had returned to the capital. The main purpose was to test the Jinyiwei, the three sharp blades that had been hanging on his head by the East Factory and the Six Gate, to see if they had really been taken back by the emperor, or were still hanging there, just putting some things to cover them up to lure him into appearance.
...
Bai Shier naturally saw all these things. In conjunction with the news that Kang Jinlong had just spread to him, he quickly figured out the key points.
Bai Shier, who knew this time was the most important point in the entire plan, did not dare to be careless. That night, he invited the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mo Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Jiang Pang, the East Factory Supervisor, and Guo Ju, the chief commander of the Six Gate, to tell the three of them all the news that Kang Jinlong and his speculation about this matter, and told the three of them his thoughts.
"I hope that the three of you will secretly spread out your Jinyiwei, the Celestial Guards and the Constables from at least tomorrow. Of course, it would be even better if you could send some good men to attack the Arctic Tianxiang Hall that you had discovered before tonight."
Regarding Bai Shier's approach that sounded like it might be agitating, Mo Bin and the other two did not immediately object, but frowned and thought about it carefully.
Although they had only met Bai Shier a few times, they knew in their hearts that Bai Shier was not a mindless reckless man. Therefore, after hearing Bai Shier say this obviously contrary to common sense plan, they did not immediately object, but first thought about the reason why Bai Shier did this.
The three people who can be the chief officials of the three major yamen, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liusanmen, naturally they will not be stupid. Even Jiang Zhun, who has been criticized for relying entirely on the emperor's nostalgia, was just like Mo Bin. After thinking for a while, Guo Ju and the others figured out the reason why Bai Shier did this.
After the three of them figured it out, they didn't say much, but nodded to Bai Shier, indicating that they understood, and then stood up and left, preparing to go back to make arrangements.
"Wait a moment!"
However, when the three of them arrived at the door and were about to go out, Bai Shier seemed to have thought of something, and quickly stood up and called Mo Bin and the other two.
"Ahem, don't forget to leave a little handle. I'm afraid that those guys who only sell mouths in the court will be too stupid and will not be able to find out."
Seeing the puzzled gazes of the three people who turned around, Bai Shier coughed twice with a slightly awkward look, then raised his right hand, put it in front of him, stretched out his thumb and index finger, gestured less than half an inch away, and said to the three people.
"Oh!"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other for a while, and they all laughed tacitly, their smiles seemed to be full of ridicule and ridicule.
However, it is obvious that the target of these ridicule and ridicule is not theirs, but the group of "guys who only know how to talk in the court" in Bai Shier's mouth.
I guess no one will like "trolls" and "bargoes".
Even themselves.
For Mo Bin and the other two, it was not that they disliked it, but that they were completely disgusted.
Needless to say, Jiang Zong and Mo Bin are the ones who are criticized the most on weekdays.
Guo Ju was a little bit the opposite. He felt a little resentful in his heart that these guys had been deliberately ignoring their entire six doors for dozens or hundreds of years, as if it was so embarrassing to mention their six doors.
However, although the reasons are completely opposite, the three of them obviously agreed to Bai Shier's proposal.
For Jiang Zhuang and Mo Bin, although they were both scolded, this time, they were like monkey-playing people watching monkeys jumping up and down. Even if they were scolded, they also felt superior in their hearts to play with each other in their palms.
Guo Ju was different from the two of them. He agreed with Bai Shier's proposal with a thought of relieving his anger.
"I want to see if you bastards will continue to ignore our six doors this time!"
The three of them looked different on their faces, but they all left with a sense of pleasure.
Bai Shier didn't call the three of them again. Even though he knew in his heart, there was one thing that was most important that he didn't say:
Report the cause and effect of the whole matter to the emperor, so as not to be caught off guard and cause trouble for them.
However, even if I really forgot about this, I am afraid that the three of them will not dare to forget it.
When Bai Shier thought of this, he couldn't help but curl his lips, and then walked out of the room and disappeared into the darkness.
He proposed that the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen will take action tonight, and the targets will naturally be those strongholds of the North Pole Heaven. It is conceivable that there must be members of the organization called Diting mentioned in the news of Kang Jinlong. These people from Diting are his targets tonight.
...
As Bai Shier had complained before, after Mo Bin, Jiang Zong and Guo Ju left, they did not go back to their respective yamen directly to start the arrangement as they said, but instead went straight to the palace.
Although it is obvious that only one person is enough for this matter, for the three, obviously, no one wants to give up the opportunity to face the saint.
Especially Guo Ju, the chief commander of Liushenmen who has no chance to meet the saint on weekdays.
The three of them chased each other, and in the end, Guo Ju, who had the highest martial arts skills, was the first to arrive outside the imperial city.
However, although Guo Ju was the first to arrive, he was still the last to enter the palace.
Because he did not have a direct certificate of entry to the palace, he had to wait for the eunuch to report it before he could enter the palace after receiving the emperor's summons.
Not to mention Jiang Zong, the eunuch who was originally from the harem, even Mo Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, could enter the palace directly with the token of the Jinyiwei commander.
When Guo Ju, who was "get up early and rushed to the evening party", was taken to the emperor's study by the young eunuch who led the way, Mo Bin had already bowed and started talking, and Jiang Zhun, who was also standing beside him, had a "resentful" temperament all over his body.
There is no way, even if you can enter the palace directly, Mo Bin's legs are faster than his sedan chair!
"So, has Bai Boy Bai's plan been successful?"
After listening to Mo Bin's report, the emperor could not understand the reason why the three of them gathered here this time.
However, he had no intention of blame for this. On the contrary, at this moment, he was filled with surprise and surprise.
When Bai Shier proposed the lurking plan, he was actually half-believing and half-doubting.
He received orthodox Confucian education since childhood, subconsciously regarded Bai Shier's plan as a wrong way, and he was obviously very doubtful about whether he could succeed.
However, Mo Bin and Zhu Jinxuan who were present at that time all agreed with Bai Shier's plan, so he decided to let Bai Shier give it a try.
That's why he gave Bai Shier a fifteen-day period. If there is no result in fifteen days, he will immediately terminate the plan.
Today is the 14th day, and there has been no news before. He thought the plan had failed, but he did not expect that the turn of things would turn, and now there are good news that Ling Mo Bin, Jiang Zong and Guo Ju are rushing to report to him.
"Report to Your Majesty, as long as you cooperate properly, I believe that you will be at least 70% sure."
Guo Ju, who had reported to the emperor, had already been snatched by Mo Bin, did not give Mo Bin and Jiang Pang another chance this time, and immediately rushed to answer.
Jiang Zhun, who was one step slower, bent her waist deeper and her resentment became heavier...
"Is it 70%?"
The emperor looked at Guo Ju in a little surprised, as if he couldn't believe that Guo Ju was so confident.
"Since that's the case, then you will act according to the plan."
The emperor stood up on the table, walked to the three of them, and said in a deep voice.
"As long as we can eliminate these thieves hiding in the capital, even if I get scolded, I will admit it."
"Why did the emperor say this?"
Jiang Zhun, who had not made any noise and had a resentful temperament on her body, finally seized the opportunity this time and knelt down on the ground with a "thump".
"This is because the three of us are unwilling to accept this matter, so we acted secretly. You are not aware of it."
"Your Majesty, what Eunuch Jiang said is that this matter is just that the three of us are unwilling to accept it. We acted without telling it. Your Majesty, you are not aware of it."
Mo Bin and Guo Ju were naturally not stupid. When they heard Jiang Zhun say this, they naturally followed suit. They all fell to the ground and kowtowed and said.
"Isn't this too wronged you?"
Although snatching the blame is the best skill of the superiors, the kind-hearted emperor still seems to be a little uncomfortable with this kind of snatching the blame.
"Eat the king's fortune and share the worries for the king. This is the duty of the ministers and others."
Guo Ju replied excitedly.
"As long as you can share your worries for the emperor, I will not feel wronged."
Jiang Zhun's words sounded a bit flattering.
"Your Majesty, I have done this for the sake of planning and to catch the thieves as soon as possible, not because of my selfishness."
Mo Bin, who was born in a good background, had also taken the boy exam when he was young, and had worked hard in the court for several years, his answer was obviously much better than Guo Ju and Jiang Zong.
