Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 87: What kind of person are you? Why would you ask me to cooperate with you? [26]

"really?!"

Xu Panxing was shocked.

Gao Yaozhi nodded: "I plan to go to Hangzhou in person to get the imperial seal!"

Xu Panxing's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he shook his head and said, "No!"

"Why?" Gao Yaozhi frowned.

Xu Panxing's face was solemn. "Four ministers have died in succession, and all of them are related to the ancestral temple in Hangzhou Prefecture."

"Wei Zhongxian is no fool. He must have guessed that this matter is related to the Hangzhou Prefecture Ancestral Hall."

"Now that Xu Yuan is dead, he will react sooner or later and will definitely send people to Hangzhou Prefecture to investigate the Shengci matter and search for the Imperial Household Registration Book!"

"You are already wanted by the Northern Division. It would be too dangerous to go to Hangzhou Prefecture!"

Gao Yaozhi's face turned grim as she said, "Even if I die, I will definitely retrieve the Imperial Household Registration Book and find evidence of the eunuchs' corruption!"

"Nonsense!"

Xu Panxing said in a deep voice, "What if you can't get it? What's the point of going there and dying in vain?"

"Then what else can we do now?"

Gao Yaozhi was very unwilling: "We already know where the imperial register is. Are we just going to let the eunuchs find it and destroy the evidence?"

Xu Panxing pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that there is no solution..."

Gao Yaozhi looked at him immediately.

Xu Panxing's eyes flashed, and he said, "As long as the people Wei Zhongxian sent to Hangzhou Prefecture are ours, we can also get back the real imperial register, and bring back the fake register to report back."

"This will not only cover up the matter and dispel Wei Zhongxian's suspicions, but will also help you obtain evidence of the eunuch party's corruption!"

"You mean... you want to go to Hangzhou Prefecture in person?" Gao Yaozhi frowned.

"No!"

Xu Panxing shook his head: "I used to be a member of the Donglin Party. Wei Zhongxian doesn't trust me. If I go, it might arouse even more suspicion."

"Who else..."

Gao Yaozhi was puzzled, then suddenly thought of something: "You mean, Jiang Xuan?!"

"Not bad!"

Xu Panxing nodded. "This man is extremely capable, and Wei Zhongxian values ​​him very much. Now that this case has become too serious, if the Northern Division is unable to find out, Wei Zhongxian will definitely think of asking him to investigate the case."

"And he has already secretly joined the prince's army. He can just get the imperial seal back for us and put an end to this matter!"

"What if he doesn't want to help us?"

"Besides, can this person be trusted?"

Gao Yaozhi frowned.

When Gao Yaozhi thought of that hateful man with frivolous words, she felt extremely repulsed.

"We have the evidence against him right now. Once this is exposed, he will surely die. He has no right to refuse!"

Xu Panxing said in a deep voice, "This matter is settled. No one outside my courtyard knows about it, so it's safe. You will hide here for the time being. I will immediately go to Prince Xin's mansion and explain this to the prince. The prince will come forward and let him go to Hangzhou Prefecture. He will never dare to refuse."

"No, I have to go too!"

Gao Yaozhi shook her head: "I don't trust him. What if he gives the real booklet to the eunuch party and brings the fake booklet to us?"

"You...why are you so stubborn!"

Xu Panxing was helpless.

……

"call……"

In the room, Jiang Xuan took a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and felt the internal energy in his body. He nodded slightly, "The fourth 'Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian' is also almost there. At this rate, I can try to open it in three to five days at most..."

I stood up and stretched a bit, and soon I could hear the crackling sound of muscles and bones colliding inside my body.

Then he opened the door and looked at the setting sun in the sky. Jiang Xuan went straight to the lobby of the yamen, waited for the patrol officers to come back, and after reporting on the day's public security situation as usual, he called the roll and dismissed the yamen.

In the crowd, Ding Xiu had somehow hooked up with Pei Xing. The two of them walked out of the yamen with their arms around each other, chatting and laughing.

Jiang Xuan was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

After listening carefully for a while, I could vaguely hear words like "wine and gambling houses" in the conversation between the two people.

Jiang Xuan's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but shook his head.

You really are birds of a feather!
Among the people under his command at the moment, the ones he values ​​most are Xu Longqing, Lu Jianxing, Ding Xiu, Jin Yichuan, An Jianqing and Pei Xing.

But these people also have their own characteristics and shortcomings.

Xu Longqing and Lu Jianxing are similar in character, calm and steady in character, and know what to do and what not to do. Jiang Xuan is very confident in these two people.

The only shortcoming is that his martial arts skills are not very good, and he is still only at the second-rate level.

However, martial arts skills are not the only factor that Jiang Xuan values.

Let's see the situation first. If there is a chance to climb higher in the future and these two people are still following him, he will find a way to give them two superior internal skills that are enough to protect themselves.

Jin Yichuan used to be rather gloomy and introverted, but after solving the hidden danger of his senior brother Ding Xiu, he regained his cheerful and active personality.

Moreover, his martial arts skills were not bad, and he had mastered the dual swords. It was a pity that he suffered from lung disease. Once the disease flared up, he could only exert second-rate strength at best.

However, I heard from Lu Jianxing that he has been receiving treatment at the Baihe Clinic in the south of the city recently, and his condition has improved slightly. He also seems to be in love with the daughter of the doctor at the clinic. I don't know whether it is true or not.

As for An Jianqing, Jiang Xuan has now found out that this guy is indeed the ambitious Jinyiwei commander in "The Sword of Blood and Valour".

Even now, he is still the same. He is aloof and indifferent, keeps to himself, and works extremely hard on cases. Now, in the entire Right Branch, he is the one who has made the most contributions.

Based on his merits, it is enough for him to be promoted to deputy captain.

However, there is no vacancy for deputy captain at the moment, and Jiang Xuan doesn't want to put him under someone else, so he hasn't promoted him yet.

Jiang Xuan still values ​​An Jianqing very much.

It's just that this guy is too paranoid, and Jiang Xuan has already checked his past.

Just like in the original drama, this guy abandoned his wife and children to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard four years ago, and was promoted to a centurion in just over four years. This shows how deep his desire for power is.

But thinking of the tragic ending of this guy in the original drama, Jiang Xuan decided to help him if he had the chance. Of course, it also depends on whether he appreciates it.

Although Jiang Xuan values ​​talent, he will not rush to be a bootlicker.

Ding Xiu and Pei Xing both have playboy personalities.

Ding Xiu was addicted to gambling, alcohol and women. After joining the Jinyiwei for more than half a year, not only was his salary gone, but he also borrowed more than a hundred taels of silver from Jiang Xuan.

Now there is another person named Pei Xing who shares the same bad taste as him.

If these two got involved, Jiang Xuan couldn't even imagine how much debt they would have to pay in the future...

It's just drinking, gambling, and occasionally visiting brothels, so it's no big deal.

After all, everyone has selfish desires, and since he is the superior of two people, he cannot restrict them in everything.

They just often hang out in gambling houses and brothels, and these two people are the kind of people who are fearless. If they are not careful one day, they will inevitably get into trouble.

Just a thousand households is not enough in this capital city!
If I have the chance, I will give them some advice.

As their superior, Jiang Xuan felt like he was truly worried sick about these careless subordinates...

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Xuan also went out and walked home.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the doorstep, Jiang Xuan stopped, raised his eyebrows, and stepped forward to ask, "Eunuch Wang, what is this..."

At the gate of the courtyard, Wang Chengen, the steward of Prince Xin's mansion, and a servant had been waiting there for a long time.

Now Prince Xin's Mansion is a thorn in Wei Zhongxian's side. This guy, as the steward of Prince Xin's Mansion, acts so high-profile and comes to see him frequently. Isn't he afraid of being discovered at all?

Jiang Xuan frowned secretly.

"Haha... Lord Jiang, aren't you going to invite me in?" Wang Chengen said with a smile.

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "My humble room is simple and messy, so I won't dirty your body. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly."

Wang Chengen frowned secretly. This guy had something else to say. He said that he was afraid of dirtying his body, but in fact, he was probably just dissatisfied with his own dirtying of his house?

Although Wang Chengen was unhappy, he did not show it on his face. He said calmly: "Since that's the case, let's just be frank."

After a while.

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly: "You want me to go to Hangzhou Prefecture to get the Imperial Household Registration Book?"

Wang Chengen nodded and said, "Master Jiang, this is the prince's intention. This is also the first time the prince has ordered you to do something. How to choose is up to you, Master Jiang."

"This is the address of the secret agent. You can go there to discuss the specific actions with the secret agent."

Wang Chengen said this, handed Jiang Xuan a note, and then turned around and led his men away.

What hidden line?
Aren’t they Xu Panxing, the captain of the rear headquarters, and Gao Yaozhi, who is so magnanimous?

You still don't trust me? Jiang Xuan snorted in his heart.

He really didn't expect that the more he didn't want to get into trouble, the more trouble would find him.

Four court ministers have died in this case, and the real murderer Gao Yaozhi and his group happened to be Zhu Youjian's men.

And this bastard also asked me to investigate the case and go to Hangzhou Prefecture to retrieve the ancestral temple production book.

Can this be checked clearly?
Do you think I would dare to arrest anyone from Prince Xin’s Mansion?
Jiang Xuan returned home and pondered in silence.

The reason why Prince Xin's Mansion approached him was, firstly, that with his identity, doing this job would not arouse suspicion, and secondly, they probably wanted to test his loyalty.

After all, since joining Prince Xin's camp, he has never done anything for Prince Xin's Mansion. On the contrary, when he was promoted to a thousand households last time, Prince Xin specially instructed Wang Chengen to send a congratulatory gift.

Although Wang Chengen said that he could make his own choice, since he had come to him, he had no choice at all.

If I refuse this mission, I will definitely not be able to explain myself to Prince Xin's Mansion.

"Although this case cannot be investigated, going to Hangzhou Prefecture to get the Imperial Household Registration Book shouldn't be a big problem..."

According to Wang Chengen, there are two copies of the booklet, one real and one fake.

He only needed to bring back the real one and present it to Prince Xin, and bring the fake book back to Wei Zhongxian to report.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan sighed helplessly.

Then he glanced at the address on the note, stood up and walked outside.

It’s better to go to the “secret line” that Wang Chengen mentioned first and ask about the situation.

At this moment, Cheng Shifei also happened to walk in humming a song. Seeing Jiang Xuan, he was slightly stunned and quickly greeted him and asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to do something. You can practice the standing meditation first. I'll come back to check on you tonight."

Jiang Xuan casually said something and left.

Cheng Shifei was a little dazed. After watching Jiang Xuan leave, he shook his head and walked into the yard. He threw his clothes aside and plopped down on the armchair that Jiang Xuan usually sat on, moaning strangely, "Hmm... so comfortable!"

"I'm exhausted after a busy day!"

"That Jin Xiangyu is a black-hearted boss. She won't even let me rest for a moment in the shop. Once I learn martial arts and make some money, I'll buy her shabby restaurant sooner or later and make her work for me!"

He wanted to take the opportunity to be lazy, but after lying down for a while, Cheng Shifei thought about Jiang Xuan's instructions, shook his head and stood up, muttering to himself: "No, Master is so good to me, I can't let him down!"

"Besides, I must practice kung fu well so that I can make a lot of money in the future and avoid being bullied!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Shifei's eyes became firm. He took off his coat, walked into the yard, and began to stand in the stance according to the method Jiang Xuan taught him.

On the courtyard wall, Jiang Xuan saw this scene, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned and left.

I was definitely not mistaken...

Half an hour later.

Jiang Xuan arrived at the address, a small courtyard in the western suburbs.

This yard is quite remote and there are not many houses nearby, but there is candlelight inside, which obviously means someone lives there.

After confirming the address was correct, Jiang Xuan climbed directly into the yard. As soon as he reached the door of the living room, he heard people talking inside.

Judging from the voices, it was Xu Panxing and Yaozhi.

Since the other party didn't want him to know, Jiang Xuan didn't need to expose it. He returned to the gate and knocked on it.

The conversation in the room stopped.

"coming!"

Xu Panxing's eyes flashed, he winked at Gao Yaozhi, and retreated to the bedroom nearby.

Gao Yaozhi walked out slowly and opened the gate.

"It's you? Da Nai Hua Niang?" Jiang Xuan pretended to be surprised.

"you……"

Gao Yaozhi's face froze, and then a trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes. She cursed, "You lecher!"

After saying that, she snorted, ignored Jiang Xuan, and walked inside with her two plump peaches twisted.

Jiang Xuan sneered in his heart, said nothing, closed the courtyard door and followed her into the living room.

The decoration of this house is very elegant and quiet, with a scholarly atmosphere.

Gao Yaozhi walked to the table and sat down, drinking tea by herself without saying a word.

She was not in a hurry, and Jiang Xuan was even less anxious. He also walked to the table and sat down. He took a teacup, poured himself a cup, and sipped the tea carefully.

The room fell into silence.

Seeing this, Gao Yaozhi couldn't help but frown and shouted, "Hey? Do you think this is your home? When are you going to take action?"

"Isn't this a question for you, 'Dark Line' girl?"

Jiang Xuan took a sip of tea calmly and said, "I don't even know what your plan is, let alone where that booklet is hidden. How will we proceed?"

Gao Yaozhi said arrogantly, "Tomorrow you will go to the Northern Pacification Office and ask for permission to investigate this case. Then, just cooperate with me. When we get the Imperial Household Registration Book from Hangzhou, I will bring you the fake one and your mission will be accomplished!"

"Really? This task is so easy?" Jiang Xuan asked in surprise.

"That's right. As long as you cooperate with me to complete this mission, I will recommend you to the prince to show your loyalty." Gao Yaozhi nodded, but her eyes were a little contemptuous.

In her opinion, even if Jiang Xuan had been promoted to the rank of a thousand households, it was only achieved by currying favor with the eunuch party. She did not think that this guy, who was younger than her, could have much real ability.

Not to mention that Jiang Xuan was a member of the eunuch party before, and spoke rudely to her on the pleasure boat, so she looked down on people like Jiang Xuan from the bottom of her heart, and even felt a little disgusted with them.

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and slammed the teacup on the table: "You are pretending to be your mother!"

"Who are you? Why do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"And you want me to go to the Northern Division to ask for orders to investigate the case? Do you think the eunuchs are all idiots and won't suspect me?"

"Besides, this case can't be investigated in the first place. If I only get back a fake copy of the imperial register, how am I supposed to report it to the higher-ups?"

"you……"

Gao Yaozhi was stunned by the scolding, then gradually came to her senses, her face full of disbelief, and a hint of anger in her eyes: "You... dare to scold me?!"

"What's wrong with scolding you?"

Jiang Xuan said coldly: "You are such a brainless thing! I don't understand why the prince asked me to come to discuss this with you!"

Gao Yaozhi's chest heaved with anger, her eyes filled with fury. She gritted her teeth and said, "You damned scoundrel, I don't even want to go along with you. Do you think I need your help?"

"I don't understand why Prince Xu... values ​​you so highly! I want to see what you, a filthy-mouthed rapist, are capable of!"

After saying that, Gao Yaozhi suddenly took action, raised her leg and kicked towards Jiang Xuan.

“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!!”

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes. He sat there without moving, but raised his hand to block Gao Yaozhi's feet lightly and swung them aside.

Then he grabbed her belt and pulled it over her knees with a little force. He reached down along her collar with his right hand and squeezed it hard.

Yaozhi's body stiffened, and then she jumped out like a frightened deer, protecting Younai with both hands. She stared at Jiang Xuan with shame and anger, "You...shameless!"

Jiang Xuan's face remained calm. He placed his right hand on the tip of his nose and sniffed gently, then said calmly, "It feels good... As expected, the size makes a difference."

Seeing this, Yaozhi was filled with shame and anger. She felt pain and heat, and a faint numbness that made her a little unsteady.

"I am going to kill you!!"

With a delicate cry, Gao Yaozhi rushed towards Jiang Xuan again, obviously intending to kill him.

"stop!"

With a loud shout, Xu Panxing, who was hiding in the bedroom, finally couldn't help but come out.

He was afraid that if this continued, Jiang Xuan would kill Yaozhi in front of him.

"He..." Yaozhi was filled with shame and anger, pointing at Jiang Xuan with murderous intent in her eyes.

Xu Panxing's face darkened as he stepped forward, looked at Jiang Xuan, and said, "Master Jiang, this is really going too far!"

"Master Xu?"

Jiang Xuan's face showed surprise: "Why are you here?"

"I am also from Prince Xin's Mansion!" Xu Panxing said in a deep voice, stating his identity.

"I see……"

Jiang Xuan pretended to be stunned, then his expression returned to calm. He said calmly, "Then I don't quite understand what Master Xu means. Since you're here, why are you hiding and not showing up?"

"Since you don't trust Jiang, why did you let Jiang come?"

At the end, Jiang Xuan's tone suddenly turned cold.

"you……"

Xu Panxing choked and wanted to ask for an explanation, but unexpectedly Jiang Xuan turned the blame around on him.
