Chapter 17 Provocation
Deng Shu returned to the small courtyard. He didn't know if Zhu Wuwu had sent someone to follow him.
Just pretend that nothing happened, just do your own thing as usual, and even go back to do the work of a spy.
The sky gradually darkened.
Yun Xia also returned to the small courtyard. She only saw Deng Shu coming back alone and did not find Jiang Han. She knew that Jiang Han should be left at Hulong Villa.
In this way, the possibility of completing the task became much higher, so they happily went to cook.
While eating, the two of them didn't notice the outside of the courtyard. Suddenly, two figures came here quietly.
"Brother Jiang, according to the secret agent's report, Deng Shu's work after he came back today was not much different from the past, and he didn't talk to anyone alone. How do you think he can contact the forces behind him?" Shangguan Haitang observed.
Yes, he couldn't help but said to Jiang Han next to him.
Jiang Han knew that this was Shangguan Haitang's temptation, but he had already thought of a way to deal with it, and even went a step further and wanted to instigate Shangguan Haitang's rebellion.
Jiang Han said: "This matter is actually easy to guess, because we have never known who he is or who he has contacted.
If they had planned it before, no matter what the outcome was after Deng Shu met Lord Shenhou, he only had to do something after returning to the courtyard to let the people behind him understand Lord Shenhou's thoughts.
For example, if the god agrees, he puts a pot of orchids outside the house, if he disagrees, he puts a pot of red flowers, and if he is undecided, he puts a pot of white flowers.
Of course, laying flowers is just a metaphor. If Deng Shu had already made an agreement with someone before meeting Shenhou and stopped contacting him afterwards, we would have no way of finding out the person or force behind him through him!"
Seeing Jiang Han's analysis, Shangguan Haitang let go of his suspicion a little bit.
"Brother Yi Jiang, I'm afraid we won't be able to find the power behind Deng Shu." There was some regret in her tone.
"No!" Jiang Han said.
Shangguan Haitang's eyes brightened slightly, "What should I say?"
"We can't know from Deng Shu's mouth or from him who exactly is the person or force targeting Shenhou, but we can guess this matter based on the purpose of the target." Jiang Hanqing said in the hospital.
Walking along the wall, we arrived at another more hidden corner.
Here you can avoid being discovered by watchmen on the road, and you can better monitor Deng Shu and their actions.
Shangguan Haitang also followed.
"First of all, Deng Shu has investigated many secrets of Shenhou before. We don't care whether these secrets are true or false, but he can use these secrets, including the matter of Tianxiang Cardamom, to threaten Lord Shenhou. He must have some knowledge of the source of the news.
Certainty of it.
So in this world, other than Hulong Villa, what other force can investigate such detailed information about Shenhou?
Moreover, such a force needs to use Tianxiang Cardamom to threaten Shenhou and ask Shenhou to agree to their request." Jiang Han said slowly.
When Shangguan Haitang heard Jiang Han's words, she also began to think. A name suddenly came into her mind, and she blurted out, "Could it be Cao Zhengchun?!"
If it is Cao Zhengchun, then there must be such a reason, and Cao Zhengchun is in charge of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Although he can't have more than 1,200 of the most powerful people in the world like Hulong Villa to help him collect information, he can still find a lot of little-known information by only being in charge of these two organizations.
.
Moreover, given Cao Zhengchun's personality, it would be very possible for him to use this information to threaten Tiedan Shenhou if he knew such information.
"I don't think so!" Jiang Han shook his head.
"What?" Shangguan Haitang asked curiously.
Jiang Han said slowly, "Cao Zhengchun is arrogant and domineering, but if he gets two Tianxiang cardamom and feels that there is a secret file in Hulong Villa, he can force the ten generals to rebel.
Then he would not arrange for an ordinary spy like Deng Shu to meet Shenhou in a roundabout way, but would go directly to Hulong Villa to show off his power and force Shenhou to hand over the secret files in Hulong Villa.
In this way, he has obtained military power, the power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and he also holds the handle that can be used to intimidate the princes of the gods, so he can directly blackmail the emperor and make the princes nine thousand years old."
After hearing this, Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but feel that what Jiang Han said was very reasonable. At this moment, she felt even more confused, "Then who is he?"
Jiang Han pretended to think, thought for a while and said: "Here, I can only think of one candidate. I know too little about this world. I don't know who else can secretly investigate like this except this person."
Concealed news, and I don’t want to use this news to directly threaten the Lord Shen and expose my identity, but use roundabout ways to coerce the Lord Shen.”
"Who is it?!" Shangguan Haitang asked from the side.
"He is the current emperor!" After Jiang Han said this, he saw Shangguan Haitang looking slightly shocked.
She said: "Your Majesty? Why would the Emperor come to coerce Shenhou? Shenhou has always been loyal to the country and the people. If it hadn't been for him in these years, how could there be such a stable Ming Dynasty? Cao Zhengchun would have disturbed the world!
"
"Perhaps if there is no Shenhou, then there will be no Cao Zhengchun?" Jiang Han said calmly from the side.
Seeing Shangguan Haitang turn around to look, he continued: "Your Majesty, perhaps what is needed is balance. He does not want one side to be too strong and the other too weak.
It was because Shenhou had Hulong Villa, the best in the world, as well as the Alchemy Book Iron Coupon and Shang Fang Baojian given by the late emperor, that he found Cao Zhengchun and gave him Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Even now, in Shenhou's Hulong Villa, there are secret files that can threaten the ten generals, and even threaten the ten generals to rebel, so he asked Deng Shu to give Shenhou a warning, but he was afraid that Lord Shenhou would be impatient...
…”
When he said this, he suddenly heard Shangguan Haitang cough hard. He realized that he had used the wrong words, so he changed his words: "I was afraid of forcing the Shenhou to rebel, so I asked Deng Shu to come, so as to avoid the two sides from officially turning against each other."
Shangguan Haitang looked worried. She just said: "Impossible, my adoptive father would not be like this."
Jiang Han comforted him: "Maybe I guessed wrong. After all, I am just a little spy and know very little about the affairs of the world. Maybe other ambitious elements want to use this to sow discord between the Emperor and the Shenhou.
, did this deliberately, or simply wanted to threaten the Lord Shen, these are all possible."
Shangguan Haitang let out a slow breath. She suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Han: "By the way, don't talk about your speculations today, so as not to cause misunderstandings between the Shenhou and the Emperor."
Jiang Han agreed wholeheartedly, and then saw Haitang saying seriously: "Don't say anything to Lord Shenhou either."
