Kowloon wins

Chapter 680 Conspiracy ([-])

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, eight days have passed since the Mingyue Tower incident occurred. In the past eight days, although there was no martial law in Taiyuan City, the policemen's yamen spied everywhere, and the entire Taiyuan city was captured. The mansion was full of turmoil, and everyone was in danger, but it happened that the post station, which was used as the imperial envoy, was peaceful. Neither Hongqing ordered the trial of Zhao Fengzhao, nor did Hongqing come forward to urge the arrest of the Bailian Sect. Regarding the bandit incident, I never even interviewed officials from all over the country. Even if the three giants in Shanxi came to visit, I couldn’t see Hong Qing. The answer I got was only one sentence-Hong Qing was ill, and there was no other explanation. .

sick?It's really sick, but what, it's not a physical problem, but a heart disease, nothing else, Mi Zhe sent someone to the capital early in the morning, counting the time, should have heard back two days ago Yes, but it's already the eighth day, and I still haven't gotten a reply from the old man. How can Hong Qing's heart be at ease? You must know that this time is not just a few white lotus sect gangsters jumping up and down, but the official The bandits colluded, and almost all the high-ranking officials on the ground in Shanxi were involved. Not to mention, even the Shanxi banner camp in Kuning'an became one of the masterminds. If chaos really broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable. If it can be wiped out, the province of Shanxi must also be in a situation of corruption. The relationship is really too big, how can Hongqing not be worried about it.

What the old man was thinking, Hong Qing really couldn't figure it out. In his opinion, the situation in Shanxi is becoming more and more tense. If he doesn't act harshly, those old foxes will inevitably notice it. , and once Quining'an, Su Keji and the others really joined forces, Hong Qing didn't have the confidence to put out such a chaos with the five hundred or so people under her command. My own life has to be thrown on the ground in Shanxi!

The situation is undoubtedly grim. If Hongqing's past temperament and behavior style were followed, he would have acted preemptively, but this time he couldn't go on like this. The matter must be approved by the old man before he can act cheaply. This is a tight spell. Even if Hong Qing is unwilling, he will never dare to go against it. Living with Su Keji and others, but how long they can stay stable is hard to say.

"My lord, Cao Ning is back!"

In such a situation where the volcano may erupt at any time, waiting is undoubtedly an unbearable torment. Rao Hongqing is very calm by nature. After eight days of waiting, the anxiety in his heart has accumulated to the brink of eruption. Fortunately, the news Finally, there is, no, when the sun was about to sink, Hong Qing was pacing back and forth in the study with a solemn expression, but she saw Li Minxing hurried in, and with a few strides, she rushed to Hong Qing's side. , bowed, and hurriedly said something to report.

"Oh? Hurry up!"

This time what was uploaded was a secret booklet, Hong Qing feared that something might go wrong, so she didn't send it through the post station, but sent two groups of people to the capital successively, one group was to inform the third master, and the other group was to send it off. Secretly folded into the palace, among them, Cao Ning and another guard were responsible for delivering the secret fold, now that he has returned, presumably the old man must have made a decision, thinking of this, Hong Qing's heart immediately rolled After a while of excitement, I hurriedly ordered.

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing had an order, Li Minxing didn't dare to delay a little bit, so he respectfully responded, and then hurriedly left the study room, and after a short while, he came back from the outside accompanied by a haggard-looking young man in plain clothes .

That haggard young man is Cao Ning, the chief guard of the royal residence, Cao Ning, who was born in Xiaochuanzi Hutong, an orphan in Hebei, but a master trained by Xiaochuanzi Orphanage. Because of their outstanding abilities and effective handling of affairs, the guards of the Royal Palace have been promoted to the position of Chief Qian in just over two years, and they are one of Hong Qing's most capable confidantes.

"The last general kowtows to the prince!"

Although Cao Ning's mental state was not good, but when he saw Hong Qing's face, he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect.

"Renshan (Cao Ning's word), how did you become like this?"

Seeing that Cao Ning was in low spirits and his clothes were ragged, Hong Qing frowned involuntarily, and asked in surprise.

"Returning to the lord, the last general had arrived at Jingxing Pass three days ago, but unexpectedly, the gate guard Ali Gon suddenly ordered to close the pass, saying that there was a landslide in the pass and the road was blocked. To prevent accidents, it had to be cleared for several days. , the last general was afraid of making mistakes, so he didn't dare to force his way, and after dark, he crossed the city at night, and hurried all the way here, if there is any misconduct, please ask Wang Ye Haihan to take care of it."

Hearing Hong Qing's question, Cao Ning didn't dare to hide anything, so he hurriedly explained the reason.

"Well, seal off? You have traveled all the way, have you ever seen a landslide?"

Hong Qing had dealt with Ali Gun before, so she knew that he belonged to Baye's side, when she heard that Jingxing was closed, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but she didn't rush to make a conclusion, but He frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, you have learned a lesson, the general has nothing to see during his journey."

The matter was so important that Cao Ning didn't dare to talk indiscriminately, so he simply gave the answer without any personal judgment.

"Well, is there any order from the Holy One?"

Upon hearing Cao Ning's affirmative answer, Hong Qing's eyes immediately flashed brightly, but she didn't say much about it, she just gave a noncommittal noncommittal, and then changed the topic.

"The holy majesty's secret decree is hereby, please take a look at it."

Hearing that Hong Qing turned to the topic, Cao Ning didn't dare to delay a bit, raised his hand, took the package behind him, unwrapped it, took out a scrolled imperial edict from inside, held it in both hands, held it high raised above his head.

"Well, Blade Mountain has worked hard all the way, let's go down and rest first."

Hong Qing stretched out her hands, and respectfully accepted the secret decree, but she didn't rush to read it, but nodded approvingly, and ordered in a peaceful voice.

"twitter!"

Now that Hong Qing had spoken, Cao Ning didn't dare to procrastinate, so he hurriedly responded, and immediately left the study, and went to report to the guard's office without mentioning it.

Sure enough, the old man is really conservative to the end!

The secret decree is related to the success or failure of the Shanxi party, Hong Qing dare not ignore it, Cao Ning just retreated, Hong Qing hurriedly used a paper knife to pick up the sealant on the outside of the imperial decree, shook her hand, it was already Spread out the imperial edict, and read it over ten lines at a glance, his face darkened in an instant, nothing else, the old man obviously didn't really believe that the officialdom in Shanxi was corrupted to the point of hopelessness, nor did he believe that the Shanxi Banner Camp Acting in a conspiracy, although there was no clear instruction on the various matters that Hong Qing played, but the edict vaguely expressed doubts. In the end, although Hong Qing was given the right to act , but many exhortations were undoubtedly asking Hongqing not to make the situation get out of hand.

Big trouble this time!

The old man has doubts, Hong Qing can understand this point, nothing else, if Hong Qing is replaced by the old man's position, he will also have doubts, you must know that this is not one or two high-ranking officials involved in the case, but It's all the officials from the whole province who are deeply trapped in it. Once it is revealed, the government and the people will inevitably be in turmoil. It seems that this is not a good thing when the army is about to go west. As an emperor, the old man does not want this in his heart If it is true, it is natural to have doubts about everything Hong Qing said, and this, to Hong Qing, only means one thing, that is, trouble is coming - without the determination of the old man If you want to move so many high-level officials in Shanxi, Hongqing will take a huge risk. Even if you can take down all the corrupt officials in one fell swoop, it may not be in line with the old man's wishes, let alone Quinine An, Su Keji and the others have heavy soldiers in their hands, so is it easy to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop?
How to do?
It is not the first time for Hong Qing to go on a business trip, and he has dealt with major and minor cases several times. He has never encountered such a dangerous situation as Youruo. Of course, it is not without a more secure solution. In fact, the old man's secret decree vaguely reveals such a thing-big things turn into small things, as long as Hongqing has no conscience to come to a foolish official to break up the foolish case and use Zhao Fengzhao as a scapegoat. The situation can be stabilized for the most part immediately, at least it won't provoke Kuning'an and others to jump over the wall. As for the follow-up disposal, it can be done slowly, and the left and right can only sacrifice a Zhao Fengzhao, in exchange for the stability of the ground in Shanxi , this kind of business seems to be done, but the problem is that Hongqing didn't intend to do it at all. Qing didn't intend to let go of this good opportunity to attack the Eighth Master's forces. In this way, the risk to be taken was undoubtedly extremely high. Not only did he have to guard against Kuningan and others' desperate jumping over the wall, but he also had to be prepared to be scolded by the old man How to deal with this matter as properly as possible has become an extremely difficult problem before Hong Qing.

Whether it is dead or alive, the bird is facing upwards, why worry so many!

After all, Hong Qing is not an indecisive person. Although she may struggle in her heart, she is a decisive person after all. After thinking about it for a while, she finally decided to proceed as planned. At this point, Hong Qing didn't hesitate any longer, glanced at Li Minxing who was waiting by her side, and ordered solemnly: "Minxing, go, and call He Tao to me!"

"twitter!"

Li Minxing is Hong Qing's absolute confidant, so he knew the meaning of Hong Qing's order, and his heart immediately trembled, but he didn't dare to say more, he respectfully responded, and then hurriedly left the study and went to Look for He Tao to come and see him, but don't mention it.
