Chapter 135 Chaos
Hou Qing was a little suspicious of life.
He had done all this and thought he could capture Qinglong, the largest leader of Tianyan Sect in Jiangnan, so he was willing to alarm Dongchang and Hu Xiaolin and others for this, but reality slapped him hard.
The only thing that can be considered comforting is that this time he was at least not nothing. Although Qinglong escaped, the man in black who was injured by Bai Shier's legs and became dying due to excessive blood loss was still breathless after the soldiers in the five cities stopped the bleeding and bandaged him in time.
Of course, the reason why these soldiers were so "kind" was entirely because Zhang Bin, the Minister of War, made a stern order.
Of course, Zhang Bin did not say that the man in black is a master of poisoning as Bai Shier said before leaving. He should be cautious and careful when treating him.
In his mind, the man in black in front of him was the key to grasping Qinglong next, and also the key to ensuring his future safety. For this reason, even if Qiu Ba of the five-city military personnel died and injured, what could he count as a result?
Could it be that these Qiu Ba’s cheap lives can be compared with the lives of his dignified second-grade Shangshu?!
...
"Six doors? You guys really disappointed me."
Finally, when he saw Hou Qing finally arrived with many of his constables, Zhang Bin, who had to laugh dryly in front of Bai Shier before, but did not dare to say a word of heavy words, was filled with strong dissatisfaction and anger as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I will use my life as bait to provide support for you to capture Qinglong. Is this how you repay my support?"
Faced with Zhang Bin's unceremonious questioning, Hou Qing was holding a lot of anger in his heart, but he was unable to vent it at the moment.
The leaders of the East Factory behind him, Hu Xiaolin and others were watching his every move. If he dared to shake out all the bad things about Zhang Bin here without any scruples, Zhang Bin would not be able to get it right, but he could not escape.
If Hu Xiaolin, the "instructor" with the emperor's oral order, would have shaken everything out, and Hu Xiaolin, who knew that he had received news from Bai Shier, could even be involved in his crime of deceiving the emperor even though he knew that he had received the news from Bai Shier, but he would not report it for the sake of the six doors.
"Mr. Zhang, here, there are many people and eyes!"
What made Hou Qing even more frustrated was that he not only could not respond to Zhang Bin's questioning, but also had to "kindly" remind Zhang Bin to stop.
"We'll talk about these things in detail later. Lord Zhang was frightened tonight, so let's go back to the house to rest first."
As an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, Zhang Bin heard Hou Qing's deliberate emphasis on the four words "many and mixed eyes" and saw Hou Qing's eyes that kept signaling behind him, and immediately understood what he meant.
Not all the people behind Hou Qing were from Liushangmen, and many people from other yamen were involved in it.
Of course, the fewer people know about the scandal, the better. Zhang Bin, who has already made Bai Shier and Hou Qing, know about the relationship between him and Qinglong and Masao Masao of Masao, doesn't want anyone else to know about this.
"Ahem, that's fine. Although I couldn't catch that, cough, well, it's a good harvest to be able to catch his subordinates. She will give it to you and pry her mouth open as soon as possible."
Zhang Bin, who understood it, coughed twice and walked down the platform along the steps given by Hou Qing. However, worried about his life's safety, he couldn't help but urge him again in the end.
"Shangshu Zhang is relieved, and the subordinates must do their best."
Seeing that Zhang Bin understood what he meant, Hou Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Come here, escort Shangshu Zhang back to his house."
After thinking about Zhang Bin's promise, Hou Qing hurriedly ordered several constables behind him, hoping to send Zhang Bin away as soon as possible so as not to cause trouble.
"Wait a moment!"
But just as several constables heard Ling Kuaishou stepped forward to help Zhang Bin on the carriage and sent him back to the house, a sharp and loud voice suddenly stopped them.
"We have been looking at it for a long time, and we still have some questions in our hearts and want to ask Lord Zhang."
The one who shouted out loud was naturally the eunuch guarding Yingtian, and the highest person in charge of the Dongchang in Yingtian, Lu Zhongxing.
Although he was just a eunuch and his rank was not very high, his special status made everyone present dare not underestimate him.
Hearing Lu Zhongxing's familiar and harsh voice, Zhang Bin finally understood why Hou Qing had just reminded him.
Indeed, things will indeed become extremely difficult in the presence of Lu Zhongxing.
Zhang Bin already regretted why he didn't go home immediately after he arrived at the Wucheng Military Affairs Office and simply rescued the man in black on the ground, but insisted on staying here to put pressure on Hou Qing.
"So it's Eunuch Lu. It's so late. I wonder why Eunuch Lu is here?"
However, no matter how much regret it is now, it is obviously useless. Zhang Bin, who had already walked to the carriage, had to turn his head and deal with Lu Zhongxing with a fake smile.
"Haha, it's so late, isn't Zhang Shangshu here too? And it seems that he has a lot to do with the things that happened before. Even if you ask, it seems that our family should ask Zhang Shangshu first."
However, Lu Zhongxing went straight to Huanglong without hesitation and responded extremely strongly.
"Ha, I just want to come and have some boring time because the night is long, but I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing. It's a bit beyond my expectations that "eunuch Lu" would come so late."
Zhang Bin's reaction was not slow and he immediately spoke. Of course, at the end, he did not forget to implicitly mock Lu Zhongxing's eunuch identity.
"Hmph, Zhang Shangshu is old but his heart is not old."
Lu Zhongxing could not hear the sarcasm in Zhang Bin's words, but he didn't care too much, just snorted and replied with a sarcasm.
"No, let's talk about it. Zhang Shangshu is no longer a person who is old, but he is getting stronger and stronger."
Suddenly, Lu Zhongxing said in surprise as if he had just seen the man in black who had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
"Shangshu Zhang was able to subdue an assassin alone in his seventies. He is the current Lian Po, and he deserves to be the Minister of War."
Just as Lu Zhongxing was mercilessly teasing Zhang Bin, a figure suddenly walked quickly in front of Lu Zhongxing and whispered something in Lu Zhongxing's ear.
"Um?"
And the next moment, Lu Zhongxing's eyes became extremely sharp.
"I said why Lord Zhang was able to severely damage the assassin in his seventies? It turned out that he had gained the advantage of weapons."
While Lu Zhongxing said, he slowly walked to the deputy soldiers of the Five City Military Command who led the team to patrol the city under Zhang Bin and Hou Qing's slightly nervous gaze, and his eyes were firmly locked in him.
