"This Qin Zhihui is so quick to adapt to the wind. Maybe he has guessed your identity!" When Zhu Hang heard the guards say that Qin Zhihui was willing to help them assassinate Xu Jun, he smiled and turned around to walk to the west wing with Xu Huai.
Xu Huai did not rush to the west wing. He hesitated for a while, frowned and said, "Let him wait for a while!"
Seeing Xu Huaijian frowning, Zhu Zhi asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this Qin Zhihui?"
"Just as Mr. Zhu Hang said, I also think he is a little quick to adapt to the wind,"
There is no room for error in Princess Yingyun's affairs, and there is only one chance. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to do it again.
Therefore, Xu Huai took Zhu Hang, Xu Wuqi, Zhou Jing, Zhu Chengjun and others to personally take charge of finding suitable internal agents within Prince Jing's Mansion. During the past two days, his energy was mainly focused on "hijacking" Princess Yingyun.
.
At this time, the main efforts of the Kaifeng Mansion and Yousi were focused on collecting gold and silver to woo the Hulu. Even if the kidnapping of Qin Zhihui and Qian Chengyuan failed, it would not necessarily attract much attention in a short period of time.
At the same time, just as Qin Zhihui said, Xu Huai, Wang Zhen and others could have guessed that the destruction of the Xuanwu soldiers who attacked the bad camp at night was actually a "conspiracy", and the person who directly informed the captors may not have
He is the real mastermind behind this, and it is more likely that he got instructions or hints from someone else.
This also means that Xu Huaizhen wants to use an assassination operation to inspire the resistance of Bianliang soldiers and civilians, and to alert the capitulationists, and he may target this informant.
Therefore, Xu Huai did not pay much attention to the actions of Qin Zhihui and Qian Chengyuan during the two days of kidnapping and interrogation.
Regarding this Qin Zhihui, Xu Huai currently only knows that he is the chief guest of Honglu Temple and is the official directly responsible for recruiting envoys from the DPRK. He has not had time to think about more detailed information.
At this time, Xu Huai didn't want to turn around to see Qin Zhihui, and walked with everyone to the room diagonally opposite.
In addition to asking Zhou Jing to move all the information from the Concierge Hall of Honglu Temple, Xu Huai took Qin Zhihui into custody, and the interrogators of Qin Zhihui called over to ask if there were any minor mistakes or omissions.
"How come this Qin Zhihui is so fast when he sees the wind?" Zhu Zhi sat next to his father Zhu Hang, wondering in his heart, and asked in a low voice.
Tongjifang Warehouse occupies a small area. Apart from the wharf, warehouse, and mule and horse pens, the residential courtyard is just two steps ahead.
Xu Huai used this warehouse as Tongjifang as the general headquarters of this operation. Almost half of the personnel in Beijing were gathered here - except for a room for Princess Yingyun, the others were all seven
Eight people crowded into a room, and when Zhu Zhi and the others were sleepy, they could only take a nap in the corner with their clothes on.
Of course, now that the assassination target has been initially targeted at Xu Jun, the imperial censor in the palace, Zhu Zhi is not sleepy at all. He just can't figure out why he doesn't directly formulate an action plan, and he can't see what's wrong with Qin Zhihui.
Although Zhu Hang entered the official position through kindness in his early years and had little contact with the lower class and people from all walks of life, he had been ups and downs in the official career for half a generation, and his experience was beyond Zhu Zhi's level.
He was sitting aside at this time, watching Xu Huai sort out the details of Qin Zhihui's response to the interrogation after being kidnapped, and he couldn't help but ponder: "Qin Zhihui's behavior before and after there are several contradictions - there is definitely no shortage of smart people in the court, it's just that
Qin Zhihui seems to be a little too smart, so smart that there are too many traces!"
"Yes, Qin Zhihui was kidnapped by us. Others would have panicked in this situation, but he was able to size up the situation and deal with it calmly, which shows that he is not an ordinary person. This is why I was left alone just now
Questions about his life continue," Xu Huai said. "Xu Jun approached the captive envoys to report the news. He deliberately avoided it to avoid getting involved. It can also be said to be a smart way to protect himself. But the problem is, even if he guesses who I am.
, how can you be sure that I can keep his family young? Do I look like someone who can keep his family young?"
Zhu Zhi suddenly slapped his head, thought about it, and said: "Don't talk about the imperial court, even in Caizhou, most officials still have grudges against you and have many misunderstandings. Qin Zhihui may be a smart person, but it is obvious that
When he opened his eyes and saw that you had just killed someone in front of him, but turned around and had high hopes for you, from what channels did he have such a deep understanding of you and the people of Chushan?"
"Shi Zhen defended me in every possible way. Zhuang Shouxin and others still had deep doubts after arriving in Chushan. It can be seen that I was a bit of a failure in life before." Xu Huai laughed at himself.
"I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on Qin's house. I will go there myself to see if there is any trouble. We missed it!" Zhou Jing said with a frown.
It is a routine operation to kidnap Qin Zhihui and arrange for people to keep an eye on Qin's house. However, if the guards are not vigilant enough or have insufficient experience, they may not only miss many clues, but may even expose themselves.
"Just arrange for two more people to go there!" Although Qin Zhihui's performance was somewhat suspicious, Xu Huai did not let Zhou Jing rush over in person.
After the bandit rebellion and the second northern expedition against Yan, Chushan could be said to have laid a certain foundation. There was a group of generals who could independently take charge of small and medium-sized battles. However, there was still a serious shortage of personnel in terms of intelligence collection, analysis and other assistance.
Xu Huai sneaked into Bianliang this time, and Xu Wuqi, Xu Xin'an and others followed him. They were all very capable, but they didn't know Bianliang well enough, so they couldn't lead the team independently in Bianliang City.
Among those who are capable of action and have a considerable understanding of Bianliang, only Zhou Jing deserves their absolute trust.
Although Zhu Chengjun had been selling horses in Bianliang for many years before and was familiar with all the three religions and nine schools, Xu Huai also specially brought him, Du Wu and Yan Xiaoyi and others who had been together in Bianliang for many years. However, since the Chihu people invaded the south,
, the changes that have occurred within Bianliang in a short period of time are extremely profound and huge.
Without ten days and a half to adapt and become familiar with the new changes and situations, Zhu Chengjun, Du Wu, and Yan Xiaoyi would not be able to command an operation independently; they would rather lead a small group to participate in the operation.
No matter how many doubts there were about Qin Zhihui, Xu Huai would not easily let Zhou Jing distract him from specific and complicated matters.
Xu Huai asked Zhu Hang: "Mr. Zhu Hang, how much do you know about Qin Zhihui? Does Wang Fanlang have a deeper understanding of Qin Zhihui?" Although Qin Zhihui was not prominent in the court, the Concierge House of Honglu Temple was regarded as a
In response to the designated agency of Yan envoys (Khitan envoys), before the two northern expeditions to Yan, Chihu sent envoys to Bianliang secretly several times, and the Concierge Hall of Honglu Temple was responsible for the arrangements. Qin Zhihui was the Honglu Temple in recent years.
The Concierge Court Master cannot be considered a completely insignificant existence.
Wang Fan returned to Bianliang from Chihu through hardships. He met several times in Bianliang with the Chihu envoy who was the secret envoy to Bianliang at that time. Officials from Honglu Temple accompanied him during these meetings and recorded all the conversations.
Archive, I also met Qin Zhihui a few times.
It was Wang Fan who suggested that Qin Zhihui and other Honglu Temple officials investigate the matter. However, Wang Fan has been staying in the house for the past two days. Xu Huai and Zhu Hang have tried their best to avoid contact with Wang Fan. No news has been exchanged in the past two days.
, I never thought before that there was so much to dig out of Qin Zhihui.
"Wang Fan may know more. I have only seen Qin Zhihui from a distance at court gatherings or banquets on major festivals. I have not had much contact with him. Occasionally, I heard people talking about this person after dinner." Zhu Hang retrieved his past memories and said slightly
He frowned and said.
"What rumors are there about Qin Zhihui in Beijing?" Xu Huai asked.
Zhu Hang said: "Qin Zhihui was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Xicheng. Although he was not ranked in the first class, he was the first in the second class and his qualifications were strong enough. However, it is rare to have served in Honglu Temple for more than ten years. I
It is also said that Qin Zhihui is good at all kinds of Tibetan languages - although the investment in Honglu Temple requires Tibetan envoys to be accompanied by translators, it is also very convenient for officials such as the Chancellor and the Chief Secretary to be proficient in Tibetan languages. This may be his long-term
The main reason why I stay in Honglu Temple to serve. Should I send someone to Wang Fan to inquire more carefully, maybe I will know more?"
"No need," Xu Huai shook his head.
They had deliberately alerted others at the entrance of Qingye Alley, and now they had kidnapped Princess Yingyun. There was no guarantee that the Kaifeng Mansion would not suspect Wang Fan. Now they sent people to look for Wang Fan. There might be clues there that they missed.
But it's more likely that they leave more clues.
This is what they are trying to avoid now.
"What should Xu Jun do?" Zhou Jing asked.
"Preliminary preparations must be made first, but they need to be more concealed and the arrangements need to be more careful," Xu Huai said. "We still have time. Even if the Qin family and the Qian family discover Qin Zhihui and Qian Chengyuan's disappearance is reported to the official, the Kaifeng Mansion will not be there soon.
Reminiscent of the assassination - everyone should take a rest first and wait until today to see if there are any new discoveries before making next plans - Qin Zhihui is imprisoned, don't talk to him, let his mind surface first
