Qin Liang knew it was cloudy early in the morning, with low clouds and no wind. The weather was very quiet, but it made people feel a little inexplicably depressed.
When Qin Liang arrived at the school affairs office, everything was calm. It looked like a normal day. But from people's eyes, we could see that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After all, everyone couldn't treat yesterday's conflict as if nothing happened.
.
If anyone pays attention, they can also find that Qin Liang has a sword on his body.
This sword is the one given by Deng Ai. The workmanship and iron quality are very average. Just like Qin Liang said to Sun Li, "it's not valuable." Qin Liang didn't keep it specially, but he had been working as a subordinate civil servant before.
I hardly use weapons in my daily life, so I never went out of my way to purchase one. Someone just happened to give me one, so I kept it until now.
Sometimes precious things may change hands and be given away as valuable gifts. Ordinarily worthless things have little use and are a pity to lose, but they can last a long time.
After a while, Chen An, a subordinate of the General's Mansion, arrived. As expected, Yin Mo impatiently filed a complaint yesterday. According to Chen An, Cao Shuang should be a little angry and wanted to summon Qin Liang to explain in person.
However, Qin Liang did not panic. After all, the person sent by the General's Office to report the news was Chen An.
Qin Liang had a banquet with guests when he got married. Who didn't know that Chen An was the matchmaker? The candidate sent by Cao Shuang was a good sign. So Qin Liang didn't even rush to go, and asked Chen An to report back before going to the General's Mansion in the afternoon.
He also asked Chen An to arrange a meeting with Shi, the chief of the general's office.
After Chen An finished speaking, he was sent out of the mansion. When he got to the platform, he reminded Qin Liang again and told Qin Liang to be prepared.
Qin Liang felt a little warm when he heard this. This Chen An didn't take the initiative to interact with him very much, and the relationship was actually a bit weak, but he was sincere and reliable to him at critical times. Qin Liang couldn't help but slowly bowed and thanked him.
Upon seeing this, Chen An hurriedly responded: "My servant is a lazy person. I haven't done anything for you, so you don't need to thank me."
Qin Liang said: "Lazy people are good, they have less things to do and they won't ask for trouble."
The two immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Qin Liang stood on the high platform and watched Chen An walk out of the gate of the school affairs office. When Chen An went out, he looked back and gave his hand to this side.
After observing the sky for a while, Qin Liang estimated the hour. Although there were clouds in the sky, there were signs of where the sun was. He just needed to watch carefully for a while.
At this time, Qin Liang turned back to the front hall and walked into the office room in the side door. When he saw Yinci, he was sitting there kneeling alone and writing furiously. Yinci stood up from the table vigorously, bowed and said:
"Fu Jun."
Qin Liang pretended to be relaxed, stretched out his hand to press down, and gestured, "Just mind your own business." Then he sat sideways at the banquet next to the tables. His posture was not very upright, but he sat relatively relaxed and comfortable, and
He turned around and glanced at the bamboo slips being written on the desk.
"I was in a hurry to stop Yin Mo last night and didn't have time to ask more questions." Qin Liang asked, "What did Wu Xin do?"
Yinci was stunned for a moment, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. After a night, Qin Liang still remembered Wu Xin's name, and he obviously took it seriously.
When Qin Liang saw this, he gave him more hope, "We can't let Gao Tingwei take this easy. We must make some deals with him as early as possible. Otherwise, if we rush forward, Gao Tingwei will just watch the fire from the other side.
Isn’t it just a waste of money to just sit back and reap the benefits... so what?"
Yinci pondered for a moment, then glanced at the door leading to the front hall, and whispered seriously: "Wu Xin was ordered by the general to enter the Taifu's house at night. Unexpectedly, the news was leaked, and as soon as she entered the inner house, she was surrounded by a group of people.
Stop, I caught you right now."
Just as Qin Liang expected, this school affairs office is no different from a sieve. If you want to arrange people to do something, it will be difficult to hide it even if you are very careful.
Qin Liang asked: "What are you going to do at Taifu's Mansion?"
Yinci said: "I don't know, and I can't ask more questions. I only know that Wu Xin accepted the order of the general. Wu Xin was recommended by Yin Mo, and we haven't been able to see each other since." When he said this,
He sighed slightly, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "The last sentence was actually 'remember to find something to eat'."
Qin Liang observed Yin Ci's expression and felt that Wu Xin was more than just a fellow countryman.
There was silence in the department room for a while. The weather was cloudy, there was no wind, and when no words were spoken, the environment seemed very peaceful.
Qin Liang heard about it the year before last. Sun Ziliu, one of Sima Yi's men, was put in the court and talked in public about the unlucky official position of Sima. He used the topic to make use of the topic, as if he wanted to warn Cao Shuang's people not to act rashly. Maybe it was to hint at the secret of the assassination? Now look at it.
Come on, Wu Xin was sent to sneak into the Taifu Mansion in order to assassinate Sima Yi?
It seems that Wu Xin has been detained for a long time. No wonder Yinci said that it was impossible to rescue him.
Qin Liang made some deductions, and now it is almost certain that Gao Rou is Sima Yi's man. These old-timers often have deep hidden positions. They usually talk about the country, the court, and the overall situation, which is not easy for ordinary people to understand.
come out.
"I know." Qin Liang stood up with a push of his hand. Yin Ci also got up and walked Qin Liang to the door.
Qin Liang suddenly turned around and asked, "Who said that?"
Yinci thought for a moment and said, "Which sentence did the Lord Fu ask about?"
Qin Liang said: "That's what I said, find your own food."
Yinci was stunned and suddenly said: "Wu Xin said that."
"Oh." Qin Liangming nodded and walked out of the office.
Then he went out of the pavilion, called Wang Kang and Rao Dashan, and the three of them went out in a car. This time back to Tingwei Mansion, there was no large group of people and horses. Along the road he walked, Qin Liang came to Tingwei Mansion, passing by a
After some exchanges and reports, he was taken into the mansion, then went to the attic, where he met Gao Rou and some of his assistants.
After the ceremony, Gao Ju said: "Why did Zhongming remember that he came to my place?"
Qin Liang pretended to smile casually and said: "The roasted black pork last time was good, I miss it a bit."
Sure enough, Gao Rou also touched his gray beard and laughed. The serious and deep vertical lines between his eyebrows seemed to relax a little. Just as he was reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person, Gao Rou raised his hand and said: "Please."
Qin Liang asked softly: "Can I take a step to speak?"
"Oh?" Gao Rou was a little surprised, and then said, "Please come upstairs."
So Qin Liang followed Gao Rou to the attic. Gao Rou called back two assistants, and they walked to the table and banquet by the window. Just as Gao Rou was about to kneel down and sit down, Qin Liang said: "Bring someone to Duke Ming.
Replace Wu Xin."
Gao Rou immediately stopped moving, was stunned for a moment, turned around and said, "Who?"
Qin Liang said: "Yin Mo, does Ming Gong know?"
The expression on Gao Rou's face changed very much. Maybe there were too many wrinkles. Qin Liang couldn't tell what kind of expression it was. Anyway, it kept changing. After a while, Gao Rou nodded and said plainly: "I know."
There seemed to be a lot to discuss, but for some unknown reason, the two of them suddenly had nothing to say. They fell into a cold silence without warning, and they no longer sat down.
Gao Rou took a few steps and walked to the window, looking at the houses outside.
Qin Liang calmed down and said nothing, but he couldn't tell whether Gao Rou was hesitant or distrustful. Weighing the pros and cons should be a necessary process for people like Gao Rou. So Qin Liang decided to test it out and said proactively: "If you send me
If Yin Mo doesn't come, Ming Gong doesn't have to worry about Wu Xin."
