Xu Xu was more and more surprised, where did this "Mr. Le" come from? He was so familiar with the Senate!
"This Mr. Le is quite knowledgeable."
"He is very capable." Liu Zheng said with a wry smile, "It's a pity..."
It's a pity that he only said half of it, but didn't say anything more. At the moment, everything he wants to say is up for grabs, so how can he say it easily.
Xu Xu naturally understood what he was thinking, and stopped asking questions, quietly waiting for him to make his request.
Everyone has their weaknesses, and Liu Zheng is no exception.
"I have a girl." He whispered, "It was a bad relationship I forged unintentionally when I was wandering around in Waiye. The two of us are now in Yingtian Mansion..."
"Nanjing?!" Xu Qiqi said, "You are a local, why did you arrange for them to go to Nanjing?"
"The scenery of Jiangnan is nurturing, and besides, the child's mother is from Nanjing. Naturally, the local people take care of her." Liu Wei said feebly, "I make a living by licking blood with the tip of a knife, so I don't dare to take my child with me."
Xu Xu was quite confused, because the Foreign Affairs Bureau had no information about his having a child. I'm afraid the people around him didn't know, so why did they tell it themselves? Could it be that the reputation of the Senate was so good that the enemy could also tell it?
trust?
Although given the size and status of the Senate, it will never embarrass a child. There are also judicial principles of "not being implicated" and "not punishing the wife and children", but saying one thing and doing another has happened in all dynasties. Who can guarantee that it will not happen?
Are the elders planning to “eliminate the roots”?
As Liu Zheng, the wisest choice is to never mention this matter.
With such doubts, he continued to listen.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not asking for help! You and I are enemy countries, and we are originally fighting to the death. But when it comes to this matter, I can only ask you to ask for help."
"Just say it."
"This woman was originally a sister from the Chu Pavilion, a brothel by the Qinhuai River. Since she had my flesh and blood, I bought a house in Yingtian to house them mother and daughter. I never thought that one of her guests when she was doing business was from the Duke of Wei State.
The evil young man inside actually kidnapped both her mother and daughter."
Xu Da was surprised. Wei Guogong was a descendant of Xu Da. In the early Ming Dynasty, Xu Da was granted the title of King of Zhongshan, and the palace was located in Nanjing City. The palace was located in Dagongfang inside Jubaomen. Later generations inherited Wei Guogong. In Nanjing City it is
A well-known noble family.
It is obvious that a family like this that has been around for generations has great power in the local area. Not to mention the Yin of Yingtian Prefecture, even the Governor of Yingtian has to give the Xu family a little favor. Even if he is not a direct branch of the sect, he still wants to recruit people.
Very difficult.
"You're just a bad boy in a clan, not a young master from the Duke's family. You work for Mr. Wang, and you used to be an errand in the Jinyiwei. There are also your people in Nanjing, so you can't move around?"
"It would be easier to handle if the upright young master of the Duke's family commits a crime." Liu Wei sighed, "For generations, nobles have to show some dignity. These clansmen who are distant relatives and close relatives are the most scoundrels. What's more, he is also the friend of the second son of the Duke of Guo.
I am under the protection of Ying Tian Mansion. On weekdays, no one dares to question me when I run rampant in lawlessness. Even if I have some connections, I still have no way of starting."
After the incident happened, he went to seek advice from Mr. Wang. However, Mr. Wang did not want to offend his nobles, so he only gave him a sum of money and asked him to "solve it secretly." Liu Wei knew that the master did not want to come forward, so he had to find another way.
"...If we talk about working in Jinyiwei in the past, the jobs of Nan Zhenfu and Bei Zhenfu were completely opposite. They were said to be in the Zhenfu Division, but in fact they were not colleagues, so there was no close friendship. Furthermore," he let out a long sigh.
, "I am no longer on duty at Beizhen Fusi."
After the Jinyiweinan Town Fusi moved north to the capital, it was only left with the management of military craftsmen and weapons manufacturing. It was not an "accommodating" yamen in Yingtian Mansion.
Liu Zheng's activities were very energetic, but the black and gray forces in Yingtian Mansion were not willing to offend the Duke of Wei on his behalf. This is the iron law of mixed societies in the past dynasties.
"...Originally I planned to get this large sum of money, so I went all the way south to Yingtian Mansion. I recruited a few desperadoes and found out about the matter directly. I took my mother and daughter away and flew away. Unexpectedly, I didn't get the money.
…”
"Yes, do you want us to rescue people?"
"Exactly." Liu Zheng said, "You are powerful foreigners with no worries. You can kill even the emperor and me, let alone a small villain from the Duke of Wei."
Xu Xu laughed loudly: "You are right. It's a trivial matter." After saying that, he suppressed his smile and said, "There is no need to report this matter, I can make the decision myself. I will make you three promises: First, I will call the headquarters immediately
, ask them to send people to Nanjing to do this. As long as her mother and daughter are still in Nanjing, they must rescue them; second, after they are rescued, choose a place to resettle according to your requirements, whether in Nanjing or other places, send people
If you send it to me, I will also give you a sum of money to settle down. Third, if you like it, I will give you this person’s head and both hands."
"Very happy!" Liu Wei nodded and said, "I know Australians are always the most trustworthy when it comes to their words. I think Mr. Lai is no exception."
"I also want to be honest with you. I am a great leader of the Song Dynasty. How can I be dishonest in my words?" Xu Xu chuckled, "Not to mention a bad boy from Wei Guogong's family, even Wei Guogong himself, his head can be easily captured.
matter."
"Okay, sir, I can rest assured now that you have said this."
Xu Xu immediately asked about the names of the mother and daughter, their original residence, the name of the bad boy, and a series of other information. He asked someone to register them in a book. After Liu Wei saw that they were indistinguishable, he sent them back to the "center" for processing.
"Now, let's talk about Mr. Le." Xu was most concerned about this person.
"His surname is not Le, but Zhou." Liu Wei's first sentence revealed important information.
"Your surname is Zhou? What's your full name?"
"Haha, that's weird." Liu Zheng said, "My name is Zhou Lezhi."
"Good name." Xu Xu said, "What's so weird about it?"
"Originally, his name was not Zhou Lezhi, but one day later, he was called Zhou Lezhi."
Xu Xu didn't understand for a while and asked: "What does this mean?"
"Today Zhou Lezhi is not Zhou Lezhi, but Zhou Lezhi's apprentice. Later Zhou Lezhi disappeared, and he became Zhou Lezhi."
"Damn, isn't this just a name? We don't have this tradition either!" Xu Xu thought, and then asked, "So what?"
"Today's Zhou Lezhi has inherited the mantle of his master." Liu Zheng said and shuddered. "The two masters and apprentices are not similar at all. It's just that in the past few years, I have increasingly felt that they are indistinguishable from each other."
…”
"Please explain it more clearly." Xu Xu said, "What is the origin of this old Zhou Lezhi, and how did the new one come about?"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "My knowledge is limited. I came later than them. Most of their things are known from other people's mouths."
Now he roughly told how Zhou Lezhi's master and apprentice came to the palace. Most of these things he heard from Liu Zhao, Jin Wenchi and others.
The more Xu Xu listened, the more surprised he became. Judging from his description, this "Old Zhou Lezhi" was probably an accidental time traveler like Hale. However, the description about him contained a lot of strange power and chaos, such as "heads in the air"
" and so on - that's all. The key is that "Xin Zhou Lezhi" was originally just a young man who had studied in the countryside of Guangzhou for a few years. Under the guidance of his master, his knowledge improved by leaps and bounds. The most important thing is that Leng Ningyun said with certainty.
, "Mr. Le's" thinking is not like that of scholars in this time and space.
Could it be that "body seizing" and "soul penetration" really exist in this world? Thinking about it again, haven't we ourselves also traveled through another time and space...
His materialism began to waver, and finally pure rationality gained the upper hand. These were just what Liu Zhao had heard, and they may not have been fabricated by Wang Yehao to fool people. But one thing is certain, Zhou Lezhi, no matter he is a newbie
It is still old, and it must be inseparable from the old time and space.
"Zhou Lezhi is really a strange person this week!" Xu Xu said, "I thought he was just an ordinary counselor, but I didn't expect him to have such a big chest!"
"Yes, everyone around Shi Weng admires him." Liu Zheng said, "Master Wang said that he knows what Australians are thinking like the back of his hand."
Xu Xu nodded slightly, thinking in his mind, this confession is so valuable, even more valuable than the Shi Weng Group! This Liu Ying is a rare commodity!
"Could Mr. Zhou be the Hearthstone Taoist in the correspondence this week?"
"Yes, it's him." Liu Zheng said, "The people around Shi Weng all use a certain Shi Taoist as their nickname."
"You are a Taoist of Wood and Stone, he is a Taoist of Hearthstone, who else is there?"
"The master next to me who specializes in matters related to Shi Weng is called Jin Wenchi. He is a Jinshi Taoist. There may be others, but I don't know."
"Do these people all live in the palace?"
"Of course not. Apart from Taoist Jinshi, everyone has their own place. We will never meet each other unless there is nothing to do. There will be someone in the middle to contact us, and we will meet at the designated place to discuss matters. If there is no urgent matter, we will not go to the palace."
Xu Xu nodded secretly. This approach is quite similar to the concept of modern secret work. Mr. Wang has only one line of communication. There is no horizontal contact with each other. In this way, even if a heavyweight is arrested, not much information can be provided.
The key is that this is still in the Ming Dynasty's ruling area! The Shi Weng Group's caution is evident.
"Who was the man you killed?"
"He is one of Mr. Wang's cronies, his name is Wang Liang."
"Does he know where you are in Tongzhou?"
"Yes, he is the one who contacts me on weekdays."
"When you killed this man, did he know your intentions?"
"Exactly. I originally wanted to buy him off with some silver, but I never thought that he would refuse to give in. I had no choice but to kill him." Liu Wei said angrily, "I didn't expect that he would have been on guard!"
These circumstances may have been grasped, so I will ask again this time to see if there are any loopholes in the confessions before and after.
