Journey through the Worlds from the Wilderness

Chapter 84
"How did brother Gao rest last night?"

As soon as they met, Lu Jianxing asked.

Gao Feng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's fine all night, Brother Lu, it's fine if you have something to say, there is no need for these concealments between us."

"Ah."

Lu Jianxing nodded slightly, raised his finger to the hall and said, "After the massage."

"it is good."

When the two entered the hall together, Gao Feng instantly noticed something unusual, and saw Zhang Ying, who was always late, had arrived, and was sitting on the main seat looking through a booklet.

Gao Feng didn't understand the meaning of the scene in front of him, but Lu Jianxing was experienced and understood immediately.

"Looks like someone is going to be unlucky."

Seeing Gao Feng was puzzled, Lu Jianxing said in a low voice.

"Oh?"

"The brochure in Zhang Ying's hand is the list of arresting eunuchs, and the next step is to arrest people."

Sure enough, after the General Banners of Jinyiwei arrived, Zhang Ying glanced indifferently, and when he saw some of them, he sneered a few times with gloomy eyes.

After the routine nodding, Zhang Ying got up, and the people below naturally did not dare to sit still.

"Little ones, arrest the eunuchs according to the roster."

Holding the booklet in hand, Zhang Ying raised his chin, scanned the front of the hall, and called out his names: "Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and... Gaofeng!"

"exist!"

"Hmph! The three of you follow me to Yan Peiwei's residence."

"Yes!"

Of course, the boss cannot refuse the name-calling, otherwise it will be disrespectful and dereliction of duty.

It was just the few named by Zhang Ying, but they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Yan Peiwei is the Imperial Censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, and he is also a member of the Golden Sword Sect. There are dozens of swordsmen in the house, and they all have extraordinary strength and are difficult to deal with."

When it came to Yan Peiwei, Shen Lian seemed to know something about it before. When he came out of the Jinyiwei pro-army town Fusi Yamen, he said this to Lu Jianxing and Gao Feng.

"Zhang Ying named the three of us by name, which made me a little uneasy."

Lu Jianxing said as he walked, "Brother Gao, there were two men in black spying in our small courtyard last night, and that's what I wanted to tell you just now."

"Brother suspects that the eunuchs want to take revenge on us."

Jin Yichuan interrupted.

"Not necessarily."

Gao Feng shook his head and said, "At least I wasn't peeped at last night."

"Maybe the other party is too late, or is planning to deal with us first, and then deal with you."

Shen Lian's eyes flickered as he guessed casually.

"It's also possible."

Gao Feng glanced at him, but did not refute, but could not help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, I was lucky!
Looking at Shen Lian's actions, it can only be regarded as insufficient planning and courage.

His skills are strong, his style of acting is vigorous and decisive, but due to his limited position and vision, he does not know enough about the real upper class of this era, and his stand is not firm enough, so he is easily disturbed by the outside world.

Just like that night at the inn, it was clear that no matter if Wei Zhongxian was captured or killed directly, the gold that Wei Zhongxian used to seduce him could be included in his pocket.

Of course, the gold is not the main reason for Shen Lian to let Wei Zhongxian go, but Wei Zhongxian's threat is.

Killing Wei Zhongxian will inevitably lead to revenge from the remnants of the eunuchs, but if he is let go, he can avoid this disaster, and there is also a charred corpse that he can take back for business.

To choose between these, although Shen Lian hesitated, he finally chose the latter.

However, after making such a choice, he did not consider more.

If we let Wei Zhongxian go, he can avoid the disaster, but can that charred corpse really let him do business?At the same time, let Wei Zhongxian go, can he and his brother really enjoy peace?If Wei Zhongxian intends to get away with this, will those eunuch remnants who don't know the inside story let them go?

He thinks it's okay, it's okay, it's a fluke mentality, and he didn't regret it until the matter reached the point of no return, but it was too late to regret it at that time.

"We must plan for the worst in everything. The people in Yan Peiwei's house should be more careful."

Lu Jianxing said solemnly.

"nature."

Gao Feng's eyes flashed, and he clenched the embroidered spring knife around his waist with his palms, and there was an eager look in his lowered eyes.

Familiar with the plot, he knew that Yan's family and his party were a conspiracy to kill people with a knife. The two men in black that Lu Jianxing mentioned last night were the adopted daughter Wei Ting of Wei Zhongxian, and the other was Wei Ting. It was Zhao Jingzhong who designed the next calculation.

When it comes to understanding Wei Zhongxian, how could others be comparable to Zhao Jingzhong? The charred corpse could hide Han Kuang for a while, but it couldn't hide it from him, let alone Wei Zhongxian sent someone to contact him afterwards.

After meeting Wei Zhongxian, the two reached an agreement that as long as Zhao Jingzhong could kill Jin Yiwei Shen Lian who knew Wei Zhongxian was still alive, he would leave the customs and leave Daming.

Last night's night reconnaissance was Wei Ting's reckless move. Zhao Jingzhong was injured by Shen Lian's crossbow arrows in order to cover Wei Ting. The next method of killing with a knife was Zhao Jingzhong's handwriting.

After the manpower was assembled, Zhang Ying got on her horse and headed for Yan Mansion.

Dongchang is currently being inspected by the San Judicial Department, and it will be banned soon, so now the lost prestige of Jin Yiwei has returned again. Under the killing of the blade, no one dares to rebel.

The road is spacious, and dozens of Jinyiwei are stepping forward, the momentum is clear, and there is no sign of concealment.

Everyone he saw had their eyes lowered, secretly speculating that another loyal person would be harmed by it.

Zhang Ying turned a blind eye to this, riding on his crotch and raising his head with contempt and pride on his face, as if these common people who dared to be angry and dare not speak out were just ants in his eyes and not worth mentioning.

Such a menacing and undisguised attack, Yan Peiwei's family will naturally not be unaware of it.

Zhang Ying rode on a horse, moving slowly and wobblingly, and finally arrived at the gate of Yan's Mansion. What greeted them was a closed door.

All Jin Yiwei stopped [-] steps away from the gate of Yan Mansion, and looked at Yan Mansion with stern expressions.

Shen Lian stood beside Lu Jianxing and Gao Feng, his face darkened, not because he found out that Zhou Miaotong of Nuanxiang Pavilion fell in love with Yan Bin, the son of the Yan family, so he was jealous, but because of the situation here, he became more and more sure : The person who inspected yesterday night was Wei Zhongxian's subordinate, intending to kill him to keep his mouth shut!

At present, it is the action of the other party.

Borrowing a knife to kill people, I have to admit, this move is fierce, and it is inevitable for him to avoid it.

Jin Yiwei waited quietly outside the door, and there was a panic inside the door.

Yan Peiwei, the imperial censor of Qiandu, was fearless. He believed that as long as he was upright, he would not be falsely accused of being an eunuch, and he was full of confidence in Emperor Chongzhen.

However, his son Yan Yanbin doesn't think so. While he is full of poetry and books, Yan Yanbin hangs out with members of the Jindaomen.

For the current situation, it is naturally full of resistance.
