There were three people standing in the stove room at the gate of the prison.
Two Jin Yiwei captains, the one in the middle is wearing the Jin Yiwei Qianhu uniform, with an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist as an identity symbol.
"It's just a waste of time. What's the important thing for Jin Yiwei to come to me?"
Xiao Chen walked in slowly with his hands behind his back and a smile.
Compared with the imagination where he cried uncontrollably just now, Xiao Chen at this moment has returned to the image of the person who speaks the truth, is intimidating, and is the number one person under Dongchang Factory.
"Lord Ziyi, my subordinate Zhang Jin, from the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, has been ordered by the commander to consult with you about the specific situation of kidnapping His Highness the Crown Prince, a rebel force that is extremely harmful to the imperial court." Seeing Xiao Chen, the Qianhudu of the Jinyiwei came to see Xiao Chen.
He hugged his fists and said very respectfully.
"Jin Yiwei wants to investigate this force?" He frowned slightly, with a playful expression on his face, and said softly, "It seems that this newly appointed commander is very ambitious. He just arrived this morning.
, I reached out to Dongchang in the afternoon. Is this because I have doubts about Dongchang’s ability to handle the case, or is it because I want to eradicate this force, take the lead, and prove my strength in front of the emperor? "
"No, no, no, Master Ziyi has misunderstood. It is the commander's intention to ask his subordinates to come down and consult with you about the specific situation of that force. There is such a force that endangers the imperial court in the capital. As the main force responsible for the security of the palace,
The Jinyiwei are also to blame. Another thing is that the Jinyiwei lost 600 elite captains in their hands, and they were very embarrassed. Therefore, the commander asked him to allocate part of his strength to work with Dongchang to completely
It is necessary to eradicate this force and get rid of the heartache for the court and the emperor."
The Qianhu's eyes rolled a few times and he said hurriedly.
Looking at the person in front of him, Xiao Chen snorted in his heart.
He clearly knows who Xu Kaiying is and how courageous he is. If he can do less, he will never do more. It’s not that he doesn’t want to take credit, but he has only been appointed Jinyiwei for a short time. He would rather have no credit than have any major achievements.
mistakes.
In Huailaiwei, there is still no clear definition of the assassination of King Zhao by his own Qianhu. Xu Kaiying, it is not that he underestimated him and gave him a hundred courages, he would not dare to take the initiative to investigate and deal with this rebel force.
It's a trivial matter if you can't find out a person's name. If it involves the lives of hundreds of captains, how can you explain it to the emperor?
Last time, it can be said that he sacrificed to protect the prince, but this time? Did he sacrifice because of investigating the case? The Jin Yiwei are all drunkards, so as long as they get involved with this force, will it be at the expense of the life of the captain?
Xu Kaiying cannot and does not dare to participate in such a huge gamble.
What he couldn't understand was how Xu Kaiying, a newly appointed Jinyiwei commander and colleague, could persuade Xu Kaiying to be so desperate as to fly into the flames.
"Haha." Xiao Chen chuckled, "Commander Xu is really thoughtful. However, so far, except for the captured prisoners who have never spoken, I don't have any other information about the other party. If Jin Yiwei is
If you are willing, you can look for useful clues on your own. They have secret bases in Gu'an County and Baoding City. If we investigate from these places, Jin Yiwei may be able to find some clues."
"In this case, it is really a pity. However, even if it is a little harder, Jinyiwei has to go to these two places to investigate. After all, the emperor is very dissatisfied with this matter. Jinyiwei and Dongchang
Likewise, as an agency directly under the emperor, if it remains on hold, how can it be worthy of the imperial court's uninterrupted food and salary for so many years?"
"Master Qianhu is devoted to the interests of the court, and I admire you very much. I hope you will win." Xiao Chen raised his fists and saluted politely.
"Your Excellency, you have really offended me." The Qianhus also hurriedly hugged their hands and returned the gift, "It is already dark, so I will not disturb you, Your Excellency, for interrogating the criminals. I will go to Gu'an tomorrow and search for details again.
Let’s see if we can find some clues. Farewell!”
"Walk slowly."
Watching Jin Yiwei's people walk out of the East Factory Gate, Liu Rufeng slowly turned back and frowned tightly: "Jin Yiwei really wants to snatch the right to investigate this case from us?"
"The head of the Ministry of Etiquette really shouldn't be underestimated. Jin Yiwei doesn't want to solve the case. They want to attack Dongchang." The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth raised slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Attacking our Dongchang? Don't they just want to compete with us for credit?" Du Shaoqin next to him looked puzzled.
Turning around, Xiao Chen slowly walked into the stove room.
It is now April, and the stove in the stove room has long stopped burning. The stove has been removed, and the table has been set up. It is now the temporary meeting hall of the Dongchang Prison.
Walking to the table, Xiao Chen slowly sat down and pointed to the chairs next to him: "You two should sit down too."
Liu Rufeng and Du Shaoqin sat on chairs respectively and looked at Xiao Chen solemnly.
On weekdays, even if Xiao Chen had something to give, he would just say it casually. He had never been so calm as he was today.
It must be a big deal to ask everyone to sit down so solemnly.
"Did you notice anything unusual about the Qianhu member of the Jinyi Guard just now?" Xiao Chen asked softly as he looked at the two of them.
Shaking his head, Du Shaoqin said: "No."
"This person's name is Zhang Jin. He was transferred from Tianjin Guard where he used to stay after Xu Kaiying took charge of Jinyiwei. He should be his close confidant. When I was in Jinyiwei, I had never seen this person take action. I don't know how strong he is.
.However, no matter who he meets, even an ordinary captain, he will greet him with a smile. He must be very scheming," Liu Rufeng said.
"It doesn't matter how strong he is. Even if he is an iron man, he will only be beaten into a sieve in front of Dongchang's firearms. This person's scheming is what we should pay special attention to. What he said just now,
But he is much more tactful than his commander. I am afraid that before long, he will become a close confidant of the commander of Jinyiwei. If these two people join forces, I will have to be extremely cautious when doing things in the East Factory."
His left hand tapped lightly on the table, and Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
"If these two people get mixed up, it will really give people a headache. However, you just refused to disclose the information about this rebel force, which can be regarded as giving them a clear attitude. Young Master Jinyiwei has intervened in the Dongchang matter.
"I think Jin Yiwei will pay more attention," Liu Rufeng said softly.
"Do you really think he is here to inquire about information? He is just here to express an attitude. What he is waiting for is for me to ask them to investigate from Gu'an and Baoding City." Xiao Chen snorted coldly.
"Could it be that Jinyiwei is obviously looking for information about this rebel force, but in fact, they want to go through the case we are handling again?" Liu Rufeng's face was full of doubts.
Xiao Chen laughed: "What is the name of this new Jinyiwei commander?"
"Mayunshan."
"Ma Yunshan, what a Ma Yunshan. I was about to attack him, but I didn't expect that he had already started to lay out plans for me." He put his left hand on the table, and Xiao Chen stood up with a bang: "Stop everything in your hands.
Affairs, concentrate on dealing with Ma Yunshan."
"Are we not going to investigate this rebellious force?" Liu Rufeng asked in confusion.
"Them?" Xiao Chen's eyes flickered, "I think they won't take any other actions for the time being."
Remembering Liu Rufeng's previous visit to the Ministry of Justice to borrow a corpse, Xiao Chen walked up to him, stretched out his right hand, and patted the other person's shoulder gently twice: "Thank you, brother."
Liu Rufeng was well aware of Xiao Chen's sudden thank you.
However, between real brothers, many things do not need to be asked too clearly.
"I completely agree with your decision, even if it is wrong, I will admit it." Liu Rufeng raised his head, looked at Xiao Chen, and said seriously.
"Sometimes, I don't know whether what I do is right or wrong. But one thing is, I will do my best to prevent my brothers from being implicated." Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Du Shaoqin, who was looking at him.
"It doesn't matter if I'm implicated. I don't have any other abilities. I still have the ability to escape with my brothers." Du Shaoqin said with a smile on his face, pretending to be relaxed.
"Escape? Why should we run? Anyone who is hostile to my Dongchang, I will not only make him helpless, but I also want him to completely surrender to my Dongchang. Let Ma Yunshan be the first to perform the operation."
