More than half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the General Military Mansion.
After Wei Changtian and Xu Qingwan got married, they moved into the larger mansion they live in now. The previous small house that was very close to the General Military Mansion, as well as Li Suyue's house next to it, were all vacant.
However, these two small courtyards are not idle now. One was given to Du Chang, and the other was renovated and turned into a "secrecy bureau".
All the information from the Freemasonry, the Tongzhou Association, and even the Xuanjing Division will be summarized here, and then Chu Xianping and Du Chang will screen it and select some of the more important ones to report to Wei Changtian.
With the establishment of such a dedicated organization, the entire intelligence network in Wei Changtian's hands has become smoother, and the transmission of intelligence and instructions has become more efficient, which can be said to have a huge effect.
Only the name "Secret Bureau" was a bit too modern, so it was later changed to "Tianjiyuan" at Du Chang's suggestion.
Well... In fact, there is already a "Tianji Tower" in Daning that makes a living by reselling information. The "Daning Black and White List" where all members of the Wei family are listed is from their hands.
Wei Changtian remembered seeing this list when he first arrived in Shuzhou, and he was ranked twenty-seven on the black list.
I don’t know if the ranking has improved a little after so long.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian suddenly became interested, so he opened the curtain of the car and briefly explained to Zhang San.
Then Zhang San quickly got a copy of the latest "Daning Black and White List" from Tianjiyuan.
"Okay, let me take a look."
Taking the rough pamphlet, Wei Changtian opened it with great interest, directly skipped the white list in front, and started to check the ranking of the latest black list.
Um......
The general situation is similar, basically they are all old acquaintances.
Qin Zhengqiu still ranks at the top of the list, indicating that the news of his disappearance has not been leaked.
Wei Xianzhi still ranks second, which shows that he has killed many people in the capital recently.
The third one is the one named Pan Wu of Ghost Head Sword... If we have a chance, we can get to know him.
fourth......
Um?
When he saw the fourth one, Wei Changtian couldn't help but be stunned.
Because he actually saw Ning Yuke's name.
Compared with the top three who killed countless people, Ning Yuke, who probably has never even killed a chicken, cannot be called a "evil person" under normal circumstances.
Therefore, the reason why she is ranked fourth can only be because of her rebellious behavior.
Good guy, it turns out that Tianji Tower and Daning Court are wearing the same pair of pants...
In Wei Changtian's view, Ning Yongnian, who sacrificed three million people in Yuanzhou City in one breath, should be the number one villain.
Of course, not many people know the truth about this matter, so it’s normal that Tianji Tower didn’t find out the whole story.
But even if the latter knew the truth, he would probably not dare to write Ning Yongnian's name.
"cut......"
Curling his lips, Wei Changtian suddenly lost interest in this list that was not "objective and fair".
His eyes quickly moved down, and after passing through a number of familiar names, he finally found himself at number 48.
Last time it was twenty-seven, this time it was forty-eight...Why did the ranking drop??
There are fifty people in total on the blacklist, and he is about to fall off the list??
Wei Changtian was greatly surprised and looked intently at the small characters behind his name.
[On the ninth day of September in the fourteenth year of Tianji, the prime minister of the dynasty was beheaded in the capital with a knife]
[On the second day of February in the fifteenth year of Tianji, at the Shuzhou Chunlong Poetry Association, he composed nine poems handed down from generation to generation to extradite the true dragon]
[On the eighteenth day of April in the fifteenth year of Tianji, I stood alone at the foot of Yuanzhou City and faced thousands of troops. I defeated Meng Shi with one move and killed three ranks with one sword.]
[On June 24, the fifteenth year of Tianji, I lost the third rank at the Longmen Inn in Gobi, West Desert...]
【......】
One by one, everything I did in public was basically recorded in the book.
The last time I read it, there was only the first line. I didn’t expect that now I have memorized seven or eight lines densely.
Obviously, in Tianjilou's view, many of the things he did were not considered "evil deeds", especially things like composing poems at the Chunlong Poetry Society and rescuing Liang Zhen under Yuanzhou City, which were considered "chivalrous acts".
There is good and evil, and the two cancel each other out, so your ranking will decline...
Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don’t know if I can break into the top five after I lead my troops and wipe out all 300,000 counter-rebellion troops.
"What bullshit, wasting my time..."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian threw the pamphlet aside, then bent down and got out of the carriage.
The General Military Mansion is still the same as before, with a tall and majestic vermilion door.
However, the plaque engraved with "General Military Mansion" has been removed and replaced with the words "Liang Mansion".
This is also normal.
After all, Liang Zhen is no longer the commander-in-chief of Shu State, but the Minister of War of Shu State.
"..."
"Things are different and people are different..."
Looking at Zhang San who was knocking on the door, Wei Changtian suddenly sighed for no reason.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Facts have proved that Wei Changtian's sigh just now was not very accurate.
Apart from anything else, at least Liang Zhen's wife is still as big as before, exactly the same as when Wei Changtian saw her in the capital, and there is no sense of "things are different and people are different".
"Auntie!"
"Changtian, come here quickly and let Auntie take a look!"
"Auntie has been in Shuzhou for so many days and I haven't seen you here. What are you busy with on weekdays?"
"..."
After being polite to "aunt" for a long time, Wei Changtian went to the table for dinner without treating himself as an outsider, and also met Liang Qin.
It can be seen that the latter is in a very complicated mood at the moment, and he always looks here secretly while eating.
However, Wei Changtian was not very used to talking about serious matters during meals, so he only told her a few simple words about home affairs.
In this way, the meal lasted for almost half an hour, and then the aunt said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the house alone to rest for a while.
Wei Changtian and Liang Qin naturally understood the meaning. After all, the joy on the former's face was too obvious, and he did not look like he was ill.
"..."
"Brother Changtian, why are you here today?"
After sending his mother, who was eager to marry him off, out of the house, Liang Qin slowly returned and sat down opposite Wei Changtian: "Aren't you and dad very busy now?"
"It's quite busy."
Wei Changtian nodded, raised the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Uncle Liang and I will lead the troops to Guanghan in a few days. We have been busy arranging the army recently."
"Is it?"
Liang Qin lowered his head, with some worry and loss in his eyes: "Then... how long will it take for you to come back?"
"He will come back after the imperial army is defeated."
Wei Changtian smiled and said: "If it's quick, it will only be a month."
"Well, I see..."
Liang Qin nodded slightly and pinched his fingers unconsciously.
Her current appearance is far different from her previous carefree personality, so it's no wonder Liang Zhen is worried.
However, Wei Changtian could roughly guess why she became like this, so he deliberately joked:
"Huh? Why didn't you clamor to follow me this time?"
"ah?"
Liang Qin was stunned for a moment, then raised his head: "I, can I go?"
"Nothing is wrong."
Wei Changtian smiled, stood up and stretched: "Let's go, accompany me for a walk in the courtyard."
"Just tell me what you think. Why do you seem to be a different person in just half a year?"
"..."
Liang Zhen and his wife have actually asked the same question countless times.
Liang Qin had not answered before, maybe because he didn't know how to answer.
But this time she didn't hesitate at all.
"Um."
"Brother Changtian, I, I actually have a lot of things to say to you..."
