Chapter 325 The three armies meet(1/2)
At dusk the next day, on the streets of Jiangxia City, the hawkers and the people who had been hawking incessantly disappeared.
The two days were caused by the garrison outside the city, and it was a bit depressed in Jiangxia City at first glance. However, at dusk, many people discovered that the well-known families in Jiangxia City were driving carriages, following the teams of hundreds to dozens of young and strong people, heading towards the military camps in the south of the city.
This strange scene naturally made many people in Jiangxia City curious. They did not know why these formerly well-known families rushed to the south of the city today as if they had made an appointment in advance.
At this time, in the military camp, Liang Ji sat on the chair with a gloomy face, looking at the white-faced scholar standing in front of him with a calm and disdainful look on his face.
This was the first time that the two of them had actually met officially. Although Liang Ji knew that there was a white-faced scholar who had been secretly monitoring him before this, he was still vague as to what the white-faced scholar looked like.
However, this first time today, the white-faced scholar actually brought bad news to himself.
Qi Wuhen and his little gang left Jiangxia City without saying a word? Where did they go and why did they leave Jiangxia City? The white-faced scholar had no idea what he wanted to tell him about all these things.
The white-faced scholar's disdainful eyes made Liang Ji feel very depressed. Why did he always meet such a guy who gave him a headache these two days?
Yesterday was Xiong Lu, and today it was a white-faced scholar again. How could this guy make him feel better?
The most important thing is that the departure of Qi Wuhen and his small gang made Liang Ji no longer have a suitable candidate to take up the position in Jiangxia City.
Why should Qi Wuhen be responsible for the security issues in Jiangxia City during this period?
Isn’t it because he has set his sights on Qi Wuhen’s Jinyiwei Qianhu? Now, Qi Wuhen and the others disappeared without saying a word. Who else can Liang Ji find to replace Qi Wuhen at this time?
Just kidding, can Liang Ji command any Jinyiwei? No, even the Jinyiwei's small flag, Liang Ji has no power to order the other party. The reason why Qi Wuhen can agree to Liang Ji to take up this position is not because in some aspects of this matter, Liang Ji and Qi Wuhen have some commonalities. If they don't have any commonalities, they will attack Qi Wuhen's thousand households. How can Liang Ji ask Qi Wuhen to help him?
It is completely impossible, and it is precisely because of winning over Qi Wuhen that Liang Ji would be confident in handing over all the security matters in the city to Qi Wuhen. After all, this is a thousand households of Jinyiwei. Letting him take charge of the security issues in the city is simply a matter of everything.
However, when I just arrived at the military camp this afternoon, the white-faced scholar appeared in front of me for no reason, and then calmly told me about the fact that Qi Wuhen and his small gang had now left Jiangxia City.
Isn't this? I'm ready for everything, but now it's so good. Qi Wuhen ran away without saying a word? What should I do now if this guy makes me do?
Seeing him standing in front of him, he no longer said anything but looked at his white-faced scholar with a disdainful smile. To be honest, Liang Ji now has the intention to beat the white-faced scholar, but the reason why he has not taken action for a long time is the most objective.
He can't beat the white-faced scholar, how could Liang Ji be better than the white-faced scholar? This makes him unable to see the white-faced scholar now, and Liang Ji can only look at the white-faced scholar here and look at him disdainfully, but he can only suffer from this humiliation.
"The prince and the others have all left?"
"Everything is gone."
Now, Liang Ji's face became even darker. What kind of tricks did this little gang make? Why did it pass in the blink of an eye and all the people have been gone? I originally thought of making these little gangs shine in the next layout with Li Si'an. But now I have just finished communicating with those aristocratic families. Not only Qi Wuhen, but also Zhou Buyi and others, all the people of these little gangs have been gone.
"By the way, the firewood in the yard where the prince and his friends used to live, you can send someone to clean it up in the past two days. Remember to send someone you trust to do this, otherwise you will regret it."
The white-faced scholar said this with a sarcastic smile, but Liang Ji didn't listen much to this sentence.
Is there anything to regret? Is there anything big happening in that yard?
It's really a big deal. He clearly agreed to this matter when he went to Qi Wuhen yesterday, but why did he pass by all night and all the people have been exposed? No, I have to ask Qi Wuhen and others about this matter in the future.
"There should be more than twenty corpses in the woodshed in the yard, and some of them were dismembered. If you don't care about this matter and send someone to deal with it, then you can do it."
Looking at Liang Ji's disdainful look, the white-faced scholar licked his lips and smiled, saying this.
As soon as these words were finished, Liang Ji's face suddenly turned a little ashen.
What's this? More than twenty corpses? What happened in that yard? Was there a war in that place? Why did more than twenty corpses appear all at once?
"Mr. Liang, don't think too much. It's just that some arrogant reptiles accidentally died at the prince and the others. It's not a big deal."
The white-faced scholar raised his eyebrows. What else can the people from Dongchang be if they are not reptiles?
To say that they are crawlers, they are a bit despised. In the eyes of the white-faced scholar, everyone in the east and west factories is much more despised than crawlers.
"Are you kidding me for more than twenty pieces? These are more than twenty lives, I don't care. You must explain this matter to me clearly. These twenty lives belong to which force in Jiangxia City."
How can Liang Ji remain calm after hearing more than twenty corpses?
This was a loss of more than 20 lives in his jurisdiction. If the censor knew about this, he could report it to Jinling, and then wait for him next, it would be dismissal.
"Mr. Liang, I said, tell you not to think too much. Those more than 20 corpses are not from Jiangxia City. Well, to be precise, those reptiles have nothing to do with Jiangxia City, that is, some of the erotic third-rate assassins."
The white-faced scholar sat on the chair and raised his legs. He stretched his waist and lay half on the chair in an extremely relaxed posture, staring at Liang Ji with a sarcastic look.
Liang Ji was not much better. He was relieved when he first heard that the more than 20 lives did not come from Jiangxia City, but then he heard the word assassin, and he fell into nervousness again.
"Assassin? You mean, an assassin sneaked into Jiangxia City and launched an assassination on the prince and the others? How about it, has the prince and the others ever happened to it? Has the assassin's identity been investigated clearly? Does anyone else know about this?"
Since the assassin appears now, the meaning of this matter is different. Good guy, this is the assassin's assassin's assassination operation. And judging from the current appearance, the target of the assassination is not the people in the small group of Prince Zhou Buyi.
The prince Zhou Buyi's identity of every little guy in their small gang is the best among the second generation of Nanli. Just kidding, these little guys can't have any trouble under his or her eyes, and he actually let a group of assassins launch the assassination of the prince Zhou Buyi's assassin under his eyes. Good guy, if human life really happens, then don't want the position of the county magistrate of his black hat, He, and everyone in that small gang cannot have trouble easily.
"You have so many problems. The prince and the others are fine, but they can't stay here in Jiangxia City."
The white-faced scholar glanced at Liang Ji. He didn't feel comfortable with Liang Ji's tone, because in his opinion, Liang Ji's words are just saying these words now, it's just a bit like a hindsight.
If Liang Ji really cared about the safety of the prince Zhou, his little gang, at least there would be many people secretly guarding him near the yard where they lived.
Instead of making it the way he was yesterday, if it weren't for the appearance of his junior brother Chen Qingzhi, hehe, the prince Zhou Bu doubted that their small gang might have been completely destroyed. After this incident, Liang Ji would not think about anything missing. After that, not to mention his county magistrate, even his life would not be saved.
"The identities of those assassins are clues? Which force is from? Could it be the dead soldiers from the Central Plains? I heard that there seems to be a well-known killer organization in the three countries of Zhao, Wei and Han."
Liang Ji did not think of these assassins at the beginning in the direction of the Nanli Empire. After all, no matter how many people said that the identities of those little guys were not simple. Although their elders might have many enemies, at this critical moment, the hatred between the elders would not be very likely to be pursued by them.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
The white-faced scholar sneered. Liang Ji was just a county magistrate, how could he have the courage to find Dongchang?
"What are you saying? Those assassins are now coming to the nose of my official assassination. Could it be that I am still afraid of those assassins? What is this? In your eyes, is this a guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong? Let me tell you, no matter what the identity of those assassins are, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. The prince and the others must not be assassinated for nothing. Even if nothing major happens, they still cannot give up on investigation of this matter."
Liang Ji suddenly became quite tough and said these words. Damn, his position as the county magistrate of Jiangxia County is not something that can be squeezed, and even the clay man made from the clay bar has a third of temper, right?
Now these assassins are killing people under his nose. Could it be that Liang Ji still ignores them and doesn't see these things?
It is impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if the identity of those assassins is not simple, Liang Ji also weighed it in his heart and knew that he could never retreat at all in this matter.
The little guys in those little gangs are simple
Is it?
A prince of the royal family, a disciple who is the most favored by the No. 1 master of Nanli, a disciple of the close of the contemporary Zen master of Nanli, and a rare physical practice from the Qianhu master in the Jinyiwei yamen and the Black Cavalry of the Yulin Guard in the palace.
Is this a gang?
To be disrespectful, this can be regarded as a prince group. Is it good? Which guy in this gang is easy to provoke? Which guy is the power behind it is easy to provoke? No one.
If Liang Ji had chosen to act indifferently after learning about this matter today, he would have deprived the major forces behind the small gang.
After weighing the pros and cons, he could clearly observe that he could never retreat in this matter. Not only could he not retreat, but he also had to clean up the identities of the assassins and some subsequent things in this matter.
"Hehe, it's true, oh, Lord Liang, I didn't expect that I underestimated your courage. Since you have said that, there is no need for me not to tell you. There is nothing to pay attention to the identities of those assassins. They are all eunuchs from the Dongchang Yamen."
The white-faced scholar licked his lips and told Liang Ji about the identities of the assassins in an understatement. Then he focused on observing and looking at Liang Ji's reaction after hearing the East Factory.
However, Liang Ji's reaction was a little disappointed by the white-faced scholar. Liang Ji's eyes shrank suddenly, and then quickly came back to his senses. I don't know if he really didn't care or pretended to say
"Dongchang, hahaha, then I will have to investigate this matter even more thoroughly."
Liang Ji snorted coldly. Dongchang may still have some remaining favors for him now. But since the identity of the assassin who wanted to assassinate Zhou Buyi and their small gang was investigated, what else can he say?
It was just a favor from more than ten years ago. It has been more than ten years since then. The ones that should be paid back have been almost done.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Liang Ji suddenly felt that he was extremely terrified in thinking.
Zhang Yapei, the guy from the East Factory, came to visit him a few days ago. The group of eunuchs from the East Factory who assassinated Prince Zhou Buyi yesterday was probably led by Zhang Yapei?
"Among those eunuchs in the East Factory, is there a eunuch named Zhang Yapei?"
Originally hesitated, but Liang Ji soon made up his mind that there was no need to hide anything about this matter. Anyway, the news about Zhang Yapei was not considered a secret news. Besides, including how he got the position of the county magistrate back then, Liang Ji really didn't believe that there was no knowledge of the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Haha, just the three-legged methods of the East and West Factory, in front of the Jinyiwei, which has been established for a long time, not to mention the Jinyiwei guys, many big and small things that are almost all around the Nanli Empire were included. As for the transaction between his poor family and the East Factory back then, this was a bit important thing. If the Jinyiwei didn't know anything, Liang Ji would definitely not believe this matter.
"Zhang Yapei? There is such a person. And, I heard from the prince and the others that Zhang Yapei was the leader of the reptiles in the East Factory at that time. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
The white-faced scholar smiled and stared at Liang Ji interestingly. Liang Ji was absolutely impossible to casually mention a person's name, unless it was that person, Liang Ji knew him.
The name Zhang Yapei was also mentioned by the prince Zhou Buyi yesterday to the white-faced scholar before leaving.
After all, a few days ago, the white-faced scholar visited Zhou Buyi and others for running errands for the Jinyiwei. Then, until yesterday, he changed his body and killed the prince Zhou Buyi and others with a crossbow in his hand.
"I know some of the eunuchs from the East Factory called Zhang Yapei. A few days ago, I came to the county magistrate's office to tell me some of the arrangements of the East Factory's factory for me."
Liang Ji didn't know what happened at this time, but he actually told him directly what the factory manager of the East Factory arranged for him, which made the white-faced scholar stare at him with a little surprised look.
When Liang Ji noticed the look of the white-faced scholar looking at him, he didn't feel uncomfortable. He sighed a long time ago and briefly told the white-faced scholar that he had made private transactions with the Dongchang Mansion more than ten years ago to obtain the position of the county magistrate of Jiangxia County.
After he finished talking about the past years with the White-faced Scholar, Liang Ji was already a little worried.
"I originally thought that the East Factory had forgotten about this matter. After all, I had not had any contact for so many years. But now, Zhang Yapei came to my official residence not long ago and told me what the next step of the factory was going to the official. Moreover, the factory also handed over a piece of tiger talisman and documents that could be used to mobilize troops to me. The two things were already handed over to the old man from the Jinyiwei branch not far outside Jiangxia City."
Liang Ji gritted his teeth. When Zhang Yapei handed the army's tiger talisman to his hands that day, he already felt something was wrong.
After all, that kind of thing can no longer be described as Jingui. Whether it is the legion or the army-deploy, these two things are not something that he can have at will, just a county magistrate.
There is a tiger talisman and document about the army that Zhang Yapei handed over to him a while ago, which seemed to be a little more like he wanted to murder him.
After all, even if this kind of hot potato is given to him by Dongchang, it will still be so hot that Liang Ji cannot repay it.
You should know that the legion, like the Tabai Camp, is also a war-level legion of the Nanli Empire. Haha, the traps set by the Tabai Camp under Liang Ji and Li Si'an were specially asked for instructions from the His Majesty who had made a special request to the Jinling City.
Now, Zhang Yapei simply threw the tiger talisman to him. If Liang Ji really listened to Dongchang's wish and used the tiger talisman to transfer the main battle legion, I believe that Liang Ji's fate would be almost over.
The separation of military and political affairs has been separated. These four words have been developed for thousands of years. During this period, I don’t know how many high-ranking officials and powerful officials have died under these four words. Liang Ji is just a border county magistrate. How can he have the courage and fate to openly challenge the authority of these four words again?
So, since it is hot, just throw it to others. This way, Liang Ji can leave some fate. It is precisely because of this that, after two days of getting the tiger talisman and the military transfer document, Liang Ji specially invited the old master from the Jinyiwei branch of Jiangxia County to the county magistrate's office. Liang Ji was solemnly explaining Zhang Yapei to him the matter of giving the tiger talisman and the military transfer document to him, and then solemnly handed the two things to the old master, and the old master sent someone to send him back to Jinling City.
