Chapter 100 Night Visit
The eunuch Lu Zhongxing, the governor of Yingtiancheng, can be regarded as the most powerful eunuch in Jiangnan. Even if he looks farther away, he can be regarded as one of the most powerful people in Jiangnan’s officialdom.
Because as Liudu, most of the officials in Yingtian City are just famous and have no real power.
After all, since Zulong unified Liuhe and established a centralized country, every court has only one power center in history.
Since Emperor Taizong moved the capital, the power center naturally moved northward. The power of the group of high-ranking officials who seemed to be prominent in the capital Yingtian were also firmly controlled by their "peers" in the capital. All they had was this title and the salary they had.
So in Yingtian City, only the eunuchs in the garrison, Yingtian garrison and other few people were truly powerful.
Among them, Lu Zhongxing, who was the eunuch in custody, became the extension of power of the royal family and the inner court in Yingtian. With these two big trees on their backs, Lu Zhongxing was naturally extremely powerful.
But in the past two months, Lu Zhongxing has been a little uneasy.
Of course, the only thing that could make him feel difficult was Zhu Jinxuan, the princess Xianyou, who escaped.
Since Zhu Jinxuan escaped from the capital, Lu Zhongxing received a secret order from the governor of Dongchang Gong Jiang Pun.
Moreover, unlike eunuchs who had a lower rank than a few eunuchs, the orders Lu Zhongxing received were detailed about the whole story, rather than just a mindless order.
This is a manifestation of his status as an eunuch, but he would rather not know so much, because the more he knows, the more he is worried.
Especially in the past half month, Jiang Zong's secret letters to inquire about the situation have become more and more frequent, and his wording has become more and more intense, which has put him under pressure.
And today, when I saw another secret letter from the eunuch Liu Qian, the eunuch who was still above Jiang Zhuan, who was still above Jiang Zhuan, this pressure undoubtedly reached its peak instantly.
Therefore, when Tianji Pavilion sent someone to send the plan to lure Bai Shier into the bait, he chose to nod without thinking.
If he hadn't been worried that he would send someone to Shaoxing Mansion again, he might have attracted Bai Shier's attention, but he was afraid that he might have sent all his subordinates out.
As for the things that his subordinates have been tracking about the Japanese, it is really not worth mentioning compared to the matter of Princess Xianyou.
...
After agreeing to the plan of Tianji Pavilion, Lu Zhongxing felt a lot more relaxed, thinking that he would definitely be able to catch Bai Shier this time, and then use Bai Shier to find Princess Xianyou and invite him back to the palace.
But when he heard the annoying warriors of the Six Gates were almost all out and left Yingtian City, he immediately felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Especially when he heard the news that Hou Qing, the guy who was actually dispatched himself.
And the facts have proved that when there is a bad premonition in your heart, this premonition will definitely become a reality.
The rewards that Lu Zhongxing received soon, Hou Qing and his six-door constables rushed to the southeast through the official road, probably heading for the Zhejiang Provincial Administration.
When Lu Zhongxing heard this news, his heart was already half cold. At this moment of the year, the only thing that could attract the six gates to move out was probably the only news from Kuaiji County.
Damn six doors!
Lu Zhongxing couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart.
But immediately he thought of another thing.
Will there be a shadow of Bai Shier behind this incident?
If so, then there must be a connection between the six doors and Bai Shier.
So can the traces of Bai Shier be found through the warriors who monitored the Six Gates?
While feeling glad that he could think of this connection, Lu Zhongxing began to instruct his subordinates and Tianji Pavilion to start to monitor the Six Gate and the constables of each Six Gate in the city.
Under the double pressure of Liu Qian, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, and Gong Jiang Zhun, the governor of the Dongchang, he no longer cared about whether doing so would cause dissatisfaction with Liushemen and whether there would be a conflict with Liushemen.
And even if there was a quarrel between them and the Six Gates, and when they were in front of the emperor, Liu Qian and Jiang Zong, who knew why they were doing this, would definitely report to the emperor truthfully and stand on their side.
In order to cover up Princess Xianyou's scandal, the emperor will definitely stand on his side.
So what else is there to be afraid of?
...
I didn't know that my self-secure solution still attracted attention, and the other party also caught the key point of Bai Shier, who was running in Yingtian City under the night.
Although the yamen of all sizes, such as the Liudu City, the Dongchang, the Jinyiwei, the City Guard, and other large and small, may find themselves galloping under the night sky. They are wearing night sky clothes and seemingly suspicious, Bai Shier still put on the night sky clothes without hesitation, and stepped on the tiles and walls of the roof and galloping towards the coffin shop of Mato Hirota.
His face hidden under the mask has long been disguised as the face that Masao Mato was familiar to him, named Su Ishixiong.
Although he knew that his fake identity of Su I-Shixiong had long been leaked, both Masao Mato's first team and Takatohara Zongdo must have known that he was not Su I-Shixiong.
But Hirota Mato, who had already escaped before he was exposed, must have no idea that he had always trusted him very much, and even had the idea of committing suicide due to betrayal, Su Wozhixiong, was faked by others.
The only thing that Bai Shier could not be sure of was whether Matoshio Masao during the day told Matoshio Hirota about his fake Su I-Shio.
However, when he already knew the address of Takagihara Head Office and Masao Masao already knew Masato Hirota, Masato Hirota was no longer a goal for him to ensure his survival.
He had made up his mind. If Hirota Mato already knew his identity, then send him to see the real Su I-Shixiong.
Even though this is likely to alarm the snake, Masao Masao, the old fox, became more cautious after discovering that Masao Hirota died.
...
"call!"
Spit out a breath of turbid air and calmed down the breath that was slightly rapid due to the speed of the journey, Bai Shier jumped into the backyard of the coffin shop.
Under the pale moonlight, a pile of wood used to make coffins, and half of them have been made, making the backyard look more like a gloomy mass grave.
But Bai Shier did not feel any fear, because he knew that in this world, people are always much more terrifying than evil ghosts.
"who?!"
Bai Shier deliberately did not stop the movements made by his steps, and immediately woke up Mato Hirota, who was unable to sleep for a long time because of the day.
With a low voice, a hidden weapon pierced the window and shot at Bai Shier.
"Matoki, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is that how you entertain your old friends?"
Going sideways away from the hidden weapon, the cold sound of Bai Shier and the moonlight sounded in the yard.
