The cavalry came and went like the wind and quickly withdrew completely.
After returning to the military office, Zhang Yin and Chen Shiyi followed them all the way to the inner hall. Zhang Yanling sat on a chair and ordered people to serve tea, but saw Zhang Yin and Chen Shiyi standing in front of them in a daze, with suppressed expressions on their faces. He turned red and laughed unconsciously.
"Brothers, what's going on? Sit down and drink some tea. What are you doing standing there?"
"Master Hou, why did you let go of Gu Dayong's castrated dog? Didn't Master Hou realize that Gu Dayong was trying to silence us? Gu Dayong was also the one who stabbed us in the back. Why didn't Master Hou just kill Gu Dayong?" We will do it together." Zhang Yin said solemnly.
Chen Shiyi echoed: "Exactly. As long as the Marquis gives the order, our brothers will rush in. Hundreds of factory guards will be slaughtered immediately."
Zhang Yanling looked at the two people in front of him and laughed out loud.
"Brothers, you were ready to question me halfway, weren't you? Isn't it very hard to hold it in all this time?"
"Master Hou, I don't mean to question Mr. Hou because of my humble rank. But since we already know that Gu Dayong and Yang Yu are the culprits who spread the news behind the scenes and want to kill people with a knife, why did we spare Gu Dayong? He killed him in front of you. I wanted to kill Yang Yu because I was worried that Yang Yu would confess to him after being caught, so I silenced him. I don’t believe that the Marquis didn’t see it because of his humble position. Why did the Marquis turn a blind eye?" Zhang Yin said, cupping his hands.
Zhang Yanling greeted: "Sit down and talk. When did you two become so impatient?"
Zhang Yin and Chen Shi had to sit down and wait patiently for Zhang Yanling to take a few sips of tea before listening to him speak.
"You two, wouldn't it be easy for Gu Da to kill him with this castrated dog?" Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
"Then why didn't the Marquis do this? Shouldn't this guy die?" Chen Shi said.
Zhang Yanling waved his hand and said: "What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet. You two, it is fun to kill people, especially killing the two thieves Gu Dayong and Yang Yu. Naturally, it is particularly fun. However, killing people also requires payment. There is a price. We cannot act willfully. You all know the identities of Gu Dayong and Yang Yu. How will it end if you kill them easily? Have you thought about it? "
Zhang Yin said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, didn't we agree before? Kill them all inside, and then say they were attacked and killed by the remnants of the rebels. Anyway, we are in Ningxia Town, thousands of miles away from the capital. Here, who can know the truth?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "That's just my angry words. I feel a little unhappy today. I did tell you so when I gathered everyone. But in fact, you can't do this. Not to mention these Dongchang and Should the guards and captains of Jin Yiwei be killed? Even if they all deserve to die, it would be delusional to kill hundreds of people in Ningxia City in broad daylight if they want to keep it secret."
Zhang Yin said in a deep voice: "Who would tell the truth?"
Zhang Yanling said: "Are we the only ones in Ningxia City? In addition to our three thousand brothers from Zhenwei Battalion, there are others. Yang Yiqing and the others also have a dozen generals and thousands of soldiers and horses in the city. So many Looking at it with both eyes, how can we get over this matter?"
Chen Shi said: "Even if they understand in their hearts, they won't talk too much. Especially Yang Yiqing, the Marquis has given him such a big credit, how can he still be troublesome?"
Zhang Yanling rolled his eyes and sneered: "Brother Chen, you are too easy to trust people. Do you think good intentions will be rewarded? Who is Yang Yiqing? He is from the outer court. Can the civil servants of the outer court be of the same mind as us? I joined forces with the outer court. It was forced by the situation. The inner court was so powerful that I had to make such a choice. Maybe Yang Yiqing wouldn't say anything at the moment, but I left the handle in his hands out of thin air. He will turn his back and be ruthless in the future. Am I not under his control?"
"What the Marquis said is absolutely true. Civil servants are all very narrow-minded and unworthy of trust. That doesn't give him any clues. Besides, I don't feel right about Yang Yiqing. He was like that in Lingzhou from the beginning.
He looked so arrogant and then bowed to the Marquis after being defeated. It shows that this person is not upright." Zhang Yin nodded.
Chen Shiyi also nodded and said: "That's true. I didn't think about it. It's true that you can't give someone a hand."
Zhang Yanling said slowly: "To say the least, even if it can be kept secret, judging from common sense, the reason is absurd. If you can attack and kill 500 factory guards at once and leave no one alive, that's right.
What a huge army.
It has been several days since the counter-rebellion, and most of the rebels have been wiped out and fled, but they said that so many rebels have appeared in the city? No one will believe it. When the court investigated, the secret was revealed. Once this matter was leaked, don't say anything
You can't even save my life."
Zhang Yin and Chen Shiyi nodded slowly, and their minds slowly calmed down. Indeed, this is indeed too risky and not worth the risk.
"But Lord Marquis, don't we have evidence? Isn't Ma Qiang a witness? If the court wants to ask, just ask Ma Qiang to testify. Aren't they worthy of death?" Chen Shi said.
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Chen, don't you understand yet? Our evidence is not sufficient. Although Ma Qiang's confession is available, it can only show that Yang Yu did spread our news. But he can indeed be presumed to be ignorant of Ma Qiang.
Rebellion, using this as a reason is just the responsibility of negligence. If the crime is not worthy of death, how can we kill him?"
Zhang Yanling took a sip of tea and continued: "If I hadn't killed several captains with thunderous tactics today, Gu Dayong wouldn't have let his subordinates kill Yang Yu to silence him. Because he knew that I came with bad intentions, so he didn't
He will let it go. Even if the evidence is insufficient, he will take Yang Yu away for questioning. Once Yang Yu confesses, the entire evidence will be completely sufficient, and he will be captured. So he will never let me take Yang Yu away alive.
"
Zhang Yin nodded slightly and said: "What Mr. Hou said is absolutely true. Brother Chen and I didn't understand the key here just now, but now we understand."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It's good if you understand. Does General Chen understand?"
Chen Shi nodded and said, "I understand, I understand. But, can't we just spare Gu Dayong? That would be too advantageous for him."
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "You two, the masterminds behind this matter are not Gu Dayong and Yang Yu. They were just following orders. Even if Gu Dayong is killed, the mastermind behind this matter is not eliminated, so what?
?Liu Jin is the one who hates me to the core and wants me to die in Ningxia Town. This old dog deserves to die the most."
Chen Shiyi's eyes lit up and he whispered: "Could it be that Mr. Hou kept Gu Dayong for other purposes? Is it to deal with Liu Jin?"
Zhang Yanling was silent and did not answer.
"Gu Dayong is Liu Jin's confidant and obeys Liu Jin's advice. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Marquis to make a breakthrough with him. If the Marquis wants to instigate him, it will be very difficult."
Zhang Yin said slowly.
Zhang Yanling waved her hands and said: "Brothers, there is no need to rack your brains. I have my own plan. In short, Liu Jin really provoked me this time. He wants to kill me, how can I let him live?"
"
Zhang Yin and Chen Shiyi heard murderous intent from Zhang Yanling's words, and both of them looked solemn. Deciding to deal with Liu Jin was not an ordinary matter. Although there was originally a dispute between the Marquis and Liu Jin, they also
It's not a fight between life and death. But this time, Gu Dayong and Yang Yu were obviously instructed by Liu Jin to kill Zhang Yanling with a borrowed knife. Lord Hou always retaliates with tooth, so how could he stop?
However, that opponent is Liu Jin. Nowadays, Liu Jin is at the peak of his power and has overwhelming power. Even the Marquis may not be able to shake him. The Marquis wants to fight Liu Jin to death. Is this a wise move?
Zhang Yanling looked at the serious expressions of Zhang Yin and Chen Shiyi and said with a smile: "What? Do you think that I am not qualified to fight with Liu Jin? Do you think that I may not be able to fight with him?"
Zhang Yin cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. The Lord is the most capable person I have ever seen. I believe that the Marquis can do it. Who is Liu Jin? He is just an eunuch. The Lord will definitely succeed."
Chen Shiyi said in a deep voice: "We brothers are not very knowledgeable and have no strategic skills. But Brother Zhang and I will only be loyal to the Marquis and just follow the Marquis. Whatever the Marquis says, we will do it."
How to do it? Mountains of swords, seas of fire, cliffs and abyss, if we frown, we are not raised by our biological parents."
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just asking, and I'm not forcing you to make a decision. I understand that you are worried. However, some things are not what you think. Don't look at Liu Jin who is so red now, in fact, that's all
It’s imaginary. If you find the gate of life and stab it with a knife, it will collapse with a pop.”
Zhang Yanling stood up, raised his head and squinted at the setting sun, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I will only take action after I find the gate of life. But from now on, I have to hold the knife in my hand.
Here, I can stab you at any time."
Zhang Yin and Chen Shi stood up and said in unison: "I understand, I understand."
Zhang Yanling lowered his head and asked with a smile: "Do you two have any military duties tonight?"
Zhang Yin said: "I am here to patrol the city tonight, but if the Marquis has orders, I can ask Feng Mazi to do it for me."
Chen Shi said: "I am free."
Zhang Yanling said: "Well, let me invite you to watch a good show tonight. A good show of killing each other and killing each other."
Zhang Yin and Chen Shi looked in shock and exclaimed, "What?"
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said, "Don't you want to know what Gu Dayong said to me before leaving today?"
Zhang Yin said in a deep voice: "How dare you make random inquiries in such a humble position?"
Chen Shi said, "I would like to ask, but I'm afraid that Mr. Hou will blame me for talking too much."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Gu Dayong told me that he wanted to describe the death of Yang Yu and those imperial guards as the deaths of remnants of the rebels. After reporting this to the court, he would not be able to manipulate them.
Arousing suspicion."
"Ah?" Chen Shiyi and Zhang Yin exclaimed with their mouths wide open.
"I know what he wanted to do. He was afraid that I would not give up and continue to investigate Yang Yu's men, so he thought of a way to clean up the house by himself. Everything else was just an excuse. He just wanted to secretly send the Jinyi Guards School Lieutenant to the Central Military Commission tonight.
All the insiders were killed.
It was reported that Yang Yu and those Jinyi guards died resisting the enemy. It doesn't matter if a few more people die. Tomorrow, all the corpses will be put in coffins and taken away. I don't know what happened. Hehe, this is Gu Dayong's wishful thinking
." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Chen Shiyi and Zhang Yin's scalps were numb, Gu Da was very scheming with this guy.
"Since Lord Marquis saw through his scheme, why did you still agree to him?" Chen Shiyi said in astonishment.
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "How can you watch a good show if you don't agree with him? Let's go to the theater tonight. By the way, in order to make the show better, let's add some bonuses to them. I guarantee it will be exciting and worthwhile. Hahaha."
