"This Qin Zhihui is so quick to guess your identity!" When Zhu Hang heard the guards say that Qin Zhihui was willing to help them assassinate Xu Junyou, he smiled and turned around to walk to the west wing with Xu Huai.
Xu Huai didn't. He hurriedly walked to the west wing. He hesitated for a while and then frowned and said, "Let him wait for a while!"
Seeing Xu Huai's eyebrows furrowed, Zhu Zhi asked in confusion, "What's the matter with Qin Zhihui?"
"Just as Mr. Zhu Hang said, I also think that he has to adapt to the wind, and it is faster."
Princess Yingyun is the most intolerable thing, and there is only one chance, otherwise it will be even more difficult to do it again.
Therefore, Xu Huai, who was well-versed in finding suitable internal agents from within Prince Jing's Mansion, took Zhu Hang, Xu Wuqi, Zhou Jing, Zhu Chengjun and others to personally take charge. During these two days, his energy was mainly focused on "hijacking" Princess Yingyun.
.
At this time, the main efforts of the Kaifeng Mansion and the Division were focused on searching for gold and silver to woo the Hulu. Even if Qin Zhihui and Qian Chengyuan failed to kidnap him, 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 had already guessed that the night attack on the bad camp was the destruction of Xuanwu soldiers, and it was a real "collusion". It is not necessarily the person who directly communicated the message to the captors.
The real mastermind is more likely to have instructions or hints from someone else.
This also means that Xu Huaizhen wanted to use an assassination operation to inspire the soldiers and civilians of Bianliang to resist the capitulationists, so they were vigilant and decided to target this informant.
Therefore, during these two days of hijacking, interrogating Qin Zhihui, and Qian Chengyuan, Xu Huai did not act and paid too much attention.
Regarding this Qin Zhihui, Xu Huai currently only knows that he is the prime minister of the Concierge House of Honglu Temple and is directly responsible for recruiting envoys and officials in the court. He has no more detailed information and has no time to think about it carefully.
At this time, Xu Huai didn't want to turn around and see Qin Zhihui, and he and everyone walked to the room diagonally opposite.
In addition to asking Zhou Jing to move all the information from the Concierge Hall of Honglu Temple to the custody of General Xu Huai, the interrogation personnel of Qin Zhihui called over and asked questions, but no details were missed.
"How come this Qin Zhihui is so fast when he sees the wind?" Zhu Zhi, who was sitting next to his father Zhu Hang, asked in a low voice with unsolved doubts in his heart.
The Tongjifang Warehouse occupies a small area. Apart from the wharf, cargo room, and mule and horse pens, there are people living there. The first two entrances are through the yard.
Xu Huai used this warehouse as Tongjifang. For this operation, almost half of the general headquarters personnel in Beijing were gathered here - except for a single room for Princess Yingyun, there were seven others.
Eight people were crammed into a room, and Zhu Zhi and the others could only take a nap in the corner with their clothes on when they were sleepy.
Of course, the assassination target was initially targeted at Xu Jun, the imperial censor in the palace, and Zhu Zhi was not even the slightest bit sleepy. He couldn't figure out why he didn't directly formulate an action plan, and he couldn't see what problems there were with Qin Zhihui.
Although Zhu Hang entered the officialdom through grace 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 and watching Xu Huai reorganize the details of Qin Zhihui's interrogation after being kidnapped, and he couldn't help but ponder, "Qin Zhihui's behavior before and after, there are several contradictions - there is absolutely no shortage of smart people in the court."
Qin Zhihui seems to be too smart and too clever, but too smart!"
"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. This shows that he is not an ordinary person. This is why I was alone just now.
"Leave him alive and continue questioning," Xu Huai said, "Xu Jun asked the captors to inform him, deliberately avoiding him so as not to get involved. It can be said that it is wise to protect yourself, but he even guessed the problem.
Who has mine, and how can he be sure that I can keep his family safe? Am I a human being who looks like I can keep his family safe?"
Zhu Zhi suddenly slapped his head, thought about it, and said, "Don't say that in the court, even in Caizhou, most officials still have grudges against you, and there are many misunderstandings. Qin Zhihui may not be a smart person, but he is obviously
When he opened his eyes and saw that you had just killed someone in front of him and turned around, he still had high hopes for you. How did he know you and everyone in Chushan so deeply?"
"Shi Zhen told me in every possible way that after Xiang Youzhuang Shouxin and others arrived in Chushan, they still had deep doubts. You can see that I was a bit of a failure in life before." Xu Huai laughed at himself.
"I arranged for someone to keep an eye on Qin's house. I'll go there myself and take a look. No, we missed it because of the slightest sign of trouble!" Zhou Jing said with a frown.
When Qin Zhihui was hijacked, it was a routine operation to arrange for people to keep an eye on Qin's house. However, the guards were not vigilant enough or lacked experience. Not only could they miss many clues, they might even expose themselves.
"Just arrange for two more people to go there!" Although Qin Zhihui was acting as if there were some doubts, Xu Huai did not and asked Zhou Jing to rush over in person.
After the bandit rebellion, it can be said that the second northern expedition to Yanyou and Chushan laid the foundation. There was a group of generals who could independently take charge of small and medium-sized battles. However, there was 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 very capable, but they didn't know Bianliang well enough, so they had no way to lead the team independently in Bianliang City.
Zhou Jing is the only person who has strong action ability and a considerable understanding of Bianliang and deserves their absolute trust.
Although Zhu Chengjun had sold horses in Bianliang for many years before and was familiar with all the three religions and nine sects, Xu Huai specially brought him with him this time, as well as Du Wu and Yan Xiaoyi who had been hanging around in Bianliang for many years. However, since the Red Husband invaded the south,
The changes that have occurred within Bianliang in a short period of time are extremely profound and huge.
No, ten days and a half is a time to adapt and get familiar with new changes and situations. Zhu Chengjun, Du Wu, and Yan Xiaoyi cannot command an operation independently; they have to lead a small group to participate in the operation.
No matter how many doubts there are about Qin Zhihui, Xu Huai will not easily call Zhou Jing because specific and complicated matters are the main focus.
Xu Huai asked Zhu Hang, "Mr. Zhu Hang, how much do you know about Qin Zhihui? And Wang Fanlang, do you know Qin Zhihui more deeply?" Although Qin Zhihui was not prominent in the court, the Concierge House of Honglu Temple served as a recruiter.
The designated agency for Ying Yan's envoys (Khitan envoys) was. Before the two northern expeditions to Yan, Chihu sent several envoys to Bianliang secretly. The Honglu Temple Concierge Hall was responsible for the arrangements. Qin Zhihui was the Honglu Temple Concierge in the past few years.
Yuan Cheng's existence cannot be regarded as completely insignificant.
Wang Fan returned to Bianliang from Chihu after going through many hardships. He met several times in Bianliang with the then secret envoy Bianliang, who was the envoy of Chihu. These meetings were all accompanied by officials from the Honglu Temple, and all the conversations were recorded.
When I came down to save the files, I also met Qin Zhihui a few times.
Wang Fan also suggested that Qin Zhihui and other Honglu Temple officials should track down the news. However, Wang Fan had been staying in the house with Xu Huai for the past two days, and Zhu Hang tried his best to avoid contact with Wang Fan. There was no exchange for these two days.
There is no news before. Thinking about Qin Zhihui, there is a lot to be mined.
"Wang Fan may know more. I have seen Qin Zhihui from a distance during great court gatherings or festival banquets. I have not had any contact with him. Occasionally, after tea and dinner, I heard people talk about this person." Zhu Hang retrieved the past and had a slight memory.
He frowned and said.
"What rumors are there about Qin Zhihui in the capital?" Xu Huai asked.
Zhu Hang said, "Although Huinai of Qin was not a Jinshi in the sixth year of Xicheng, he was ranked first-class, but his qualifications as the second-class leader are quite strong, but it is rare to have served in Honglu Temple for more than ten years.
.I also heard that Qin Zhihui is good at all kinds of Tibetan languages - although Honglu Temple invites merchants to respond to the Tibetan envoys and is accompanied by translators, it is extremely convenient for officials such as the Yuan Cheng and the chief registrar to be proficient in Tibetan languages. It is possible.
The main reason is that he has stayed in Honglu Temple for a long time to serve. Should we send someone to Wang Fan to inquire more carefully, maybe we will know more?"
"No need." Xu Huai shook his head.
They had deliberately alerted the snake at the entrance of Qingye Alley, but now they have kidnapped Princess Yingyun. It is difficult to guarantee that the Kaifeng Mansion will not suspect that Wang Fan is there. They sent people to find Wang Fan at this time. Maybe there is a clue that they missed.
But it's more likely that they left more clues.
This is what they must deliberately avoid now.
"What should Xu Jun do?" Zhou Jing asked.
"But we need to carry out preliminary preparations first, and we need to make more careful arrangements." Xu Huai said, "We still have time. Even if the Qin family has time, the Qin Zhihui family will not report Qian Chengyuan's disappearance to the Kaifeng Mansion soon."
Just think of the assassination - everyone should take a rest first and wait to see it today. No, the next step is to plan after discovering that there is someone - Qin Zhihui is imprisoned. Do you want to talk to him or let his mind wander first?
