Chapter 585 Where did you get rich?
After Eunuch He was assassinated
In the dungeon, Zhang Qing's plain face was filled with sorrow and anxiety. He looked at the person bandaging his wounds and said:
"That's my master. I can't possibly kill him. You are the ones protecting him, so you should know."
The person bandaging the wound paused, raised his face, his eyes brightened with hatred, and said in a low voice:
"I knew it before, but now that he is dead, I don't know anymore."
Tears welled up in Zhang Qing's eyes. She lowered her body and looked at him, and her voice was very urgent:
"Gu Huang is really the master of that eunuch Li Wusha. If not, you secretly spread the news and say that I have run away, then let him go and follow him to see who he meets and what he does.
Won’t the truth come to light? With your brothers’ abilities, this is not a big deal at all.”
As he spoke, he tried hard to look into Gu Huang's eyes and tried his best to express his meaning sincerely:
"Master will never tolerate someone making a fuss about the safety of the front line. Li Wu saw the news in the bamboo tube and was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he was murderous. There will definitely be something big happening later, and we can't delay it! If we don't do something
, everything is over..."
Gu Huang and Zhang Qing looked at each other for a while, then finally lowered their eyes and said dullly:
"We are only responsible for protecting Eunuch He's safety and avenging him if he dies. We are not good at other things."
Zhang Qing said anxiously:
"Yes, I want revenge. I am Master's apprentice and I am good at it. Wouldn't you listen to me? Give it a try. I'm in prison anyway and I won't run away. If he has any problems, you can just kill him. He
If there is no problem, you can come back to me and he should have been let go, isn’t that true?”
Gu Huang was stunned, thought about it carefully and said, "I'll discuss it with my brother."
After saying that, he got up and walked out, locking the cell door.
Just like that, Zhang Qing looked at the light from the window above, gritted his teeth and shed tears and stopped moving.
He was very sad about his master's death. The safety of Xie Yuan and others on the front line, the safety of the Song Dynasty, and the gloomy future that he would not know whether he would live or die in the future all made him feel worried and he could not rest for a moment.
Not to mention, he was trapped in this cell, unable to do anything but look at the light above his head and wait for time to pass.
Just like that, it gets dark...
Zhang Qing waited all night with his eyes open, and finally waited for someone to arrive when the sky was just turning blue.
This time it was the other of the two brothers, named Gu Liang.
Gu Liang looked tense and asked Zhang Qing to come out quickly without saying a word.
Zhang Qing looked at his dark face and couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. He looked at him for a moment and thought: This shouldn't be the case. They checked all night and found nothing, so they decided that he was the murderer.
Come to kill him?
It shouldn’t be...
Seeing Zhang Qing's cautious movements, Gu Liang thought of what he should say. He grabbed his arm and pulled him away. He said at the same time:
"Li Wu has colluded with Xiao Changlu, has obtained the imperial edict, and will come to take over the Supervision Department soon. I will send you away through the secret passage."
Zhang Qing heard this and looked at Gu Liang's back in front, tears instantly fell down, and he quickly said:
"You know it was him who killed Master, why don't you kill him?!"
Gu Liang's steps paused, then returned to his haste, and his voice was choked as he said:
"I wanted to kill him, but I fell into a trap. I'm the only one who's back. Let's go."
…
The two secretly left the Supervision Department directly through the emergency passage prepared by Father-in-law He earlier, and appeared in a small courtyard of a private house.
The place was fully prepared, with a change of clothes and food. There was also a woman busy in the yard. When she saw them appearing, her expression was surprised at first, but she soon calmed down and asked:
"Why didn't father-in-law come?"
Gu Liang's expression was cold, as if he had no sense of pain, and he talked about the tragic situation:
"Eunuch He died yesterday evening. It was the eunuch Li Wu who did it. My brother Gu Huang also died in their hands in the middle of the night. The Supervision Department will be taken over by Li Wu soon, and there will inevitably be a blood change and purge. He doesn't know your
If it exists, please inform others and wish yourself well."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Zhang Qing quickly grabbed him and asked:
"What are you doing?!"
Gu Liang's expression was still numb and cold, and he said:
"Of course I will kill Li Wu to avenge my brother and Eunuch He."
Zhang Qing said quickly:
"Now is not the time. How can one person get revenge by fighting alone? Now, while the Supervision Department has not yet been fully controlled, pass on to General Xie the plot of Ma Guogong instructing his cronies to infiltrate the Wei State to surround and kill the Shen family's troops.
I know! Also, find Shen Guozhu and the city defense camp and ask them to fight against the Xiao family!"
Gu Liang was still hesitating, but the woman spoke first and said:
"I'll deliver the news, don't worry."
After that, she took out a silver hairpin from her arms and inserted it into her head, picked up the bamboo basket from the corner of the yard and walked out without any sloppiness.
Zhang Qing looked at her leaving figure and asked, "Is she trustworthy?"
Gu Liang said with certainty: "It's credible... I'll go with you to find Shen Guozhu, and I'll protect you."
Zhang Qing and him looked at each other, and the two of them quickly went back to the house, changed their clothes, put on simple disguises, and went out.
However, they hurriedly hurried but were still a step late, and watched helplessly as Shen Guozhu rode towards the palace on horseback.
Zhang Qing hid behind the wall and watched this scene, and was so angry that he beat the wall.
Gu Liang said:
"He should already know the news about Eunuch He's assassination. He should be able to make some reaction."
"He knew that Master was stabbed, but he definitely didn't know why he was stabbed. In the current situation, it's either you die or I live. We have to bring people to control Li Wu and the Xiao family."
"Find someone to bring the news to the palace and prevent Li Wu from taking over the Supervision Department first?" Gu Liang said.
Zhang Qing rolled his eyes, thought about everyone in his mind, and finally said angrily:
"Damn it, those lines in the palace are all assisted by Li Wu, none of them can be used by me!"
He gritted his teeth and said:
"Let's go to the city defense camp first. They recognize me. I will explain the situation. They can send the news to the palace. After receiving Shen Guozhu's order, they can take action."
…
…
Outside the capital, the city defense camp is stationed
Li Huan ordered people to arrange a banquet in the camp and invite all the officers and deputy officers of the other two city defense camps to come over for a drink.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Jiu and others who were accompanying the camp did not come because they had military duties and could not leave their posts without authorization. Only two people came, Zhou Mian and Sun Tian.
Their two camps were set up close together, making it easy to travel between them. What's more, in a new place like the capital, with only a few acquaintances and old friends like them, they naturally wanted to come.
As soon as Zhou Fu came in, he saw the table full of sumptuous dishes and joked:
"Oh...where did you get rich? You've been visiting the brothels so frequently lately, and you haven't spent all your money yet? You still have money for a drink?"
