Chapter 816: This person must die
Looking up at the hourglass placed on the windowsill, Hao Ren stood up, moved the chair away, bent down, and groped under the big case for a while. Then he lifted it up with his hand, and he lifted a bluestone slab under the chair, revealing a black tunnel below.
The tunnel was straight down, and above the edge, a wooden ladder was embedded inside. After entering the tunnel, he turned around and covered the bluestone slab, and the floor of the study immediately returned to its original state.
Following the ladder to the bottom of the tunnel, Hao Ren took out a glass lamp from a small hole on the wall, shook the fire stick and lit the lamp, then carried the lamp and walked forward along the long corridor.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the tunnel had reached its end. A wooden door appeared in front of me. Standing beside the door, Hao Ren gently knocked on the wooden door.
After knocking three times, Hao Ren pushed open the wooden door, and a stone room appeared under the light. In the stone room, there were all beds and beds, and even bookshelfs were installed, with a lot of book loans on it. He placed the glass lamp on the table and Hao Ren sat at the table.
A moment later, another wooden door on the other side creaked and opened from the outside, and a tall masked man appeared in front of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren stood up and bowed. The masked man opposite walked to Hao Ren, took off the masked scarf on his face, and an ugly face full of lumps of flesh appeared in front of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was surprised, "General Gao, why are you here in person?"
Gao Xiangsheng, the former general of the guard guard and now the deputy commander of the inner guard, although his identity among the inner guards is a bit embarrassing, there is no doubt that he is still a big man and the highest leader in intelligence work in Chang'an and Luoyang. Hao Ren did not expect that after sending the interview signal this time, Gao Xiangsheng, who came here with the highest identity as Gao Xiangsheng, was the one with the inner guards here.
Gao Xiangsheng has always been the target of the front officer of Daliang Hall who wants to get rid of it quickly. This person is constantly panic in Chang'an and Luoyang, and his favorite thing is assassination. Most of the targets he assassinated were the officials who surrendered to Daliang in the former Tang Dynasty. Almost every once in a while, this guy would create a bloody case, which made the surrendered officials of the previous dynasty in Chang'an feel anxious.
But Gao Xiangsheng was like a ghost. Not only did the enemy unable to touch his traces, but even his own people rarely saw this person.
"The situation this time is different. Chang'an is a bit strange. You sent the highest level of emergency signal. I think there is an extremely important heavy report, which must be related to this matter, so I must come here in person." Gao Xiangsheng said.
"It's very messy outside now, and you are their focus of arresting. It's too dangerous to come out." Hao Ren said: "It's the right thing to be able to stay dormant now."
Gao Xiangsheng smiled, but in Hao Ren's eyes, it was even more terrifying. In fact, what Hao Ren didn't say included the other party's face. This face was too prominent. It was hard to forget if you just take a look at it. With such a face, the risk of being arrested is too high.
"Where is no danger? Drinking the cool breeze and tucking the teeth. When sleeping on the bed, it will collapse if the roof cannot be held back!" Gao Xiangsheng said, "But don't worry, if I am targeted and unable to escape, I will be relieved as soon as possible. The last time I went back to Wuyi, I asked the little girl Yan Jiu to make a few pills, and the throat was sealed with blood. It was extremely powerful. I would never let myself fall into their hands again. So, you don't have to worry that I will implicate you because of the loss of the wind."
"What are you talking about by General Gao?" Hao Ren laughed dryly.
"Tell me, what exactly is it?" Gao Xiangsheng said: "What happened in Chang'an?"
"I saw Jingxiang, Fan Sheng, Jingxiang was about to escape from Chang'an, so I asked me to arrange it." Hao Ren said: "Just just now, Yang Honggui from the City Inspection Department also came to the door. Although he didn't say it directly, he meant that he wanted me to help find Jingxiang's trace."
"Jingxiang is going to escape from the city?" Gao Xiangsheng frowned, "One of Daliang's chief minister and the other of the chief minister in front of the hall, the only one who can make them escape is the Emperor Daliang."
"Zhu Wen has always been very fond of Jing Xiang." Hao Ren reminded.
"The City Inspection Office is Zhu Youyu's person." Gao Xiangsheng clenched the lumps of flesh on his face hard, and suddenly woke up after a while: "Zhu Youyu must be Zhu Youyu, I'm afraid that Zhu Youyu has already launched a coup, and the emperor Zhu Wen is afraid that he has died, so Jingxiang and the others are going to run away."
"I think so too." Hao Ren nodded and said, "Jing Xiang is a supporter of the Third Prince Zhu Youzhen. I think that if he escapes, it may benefit us, so I have arranged for Daddy Tao to send Jing Xiang out of the city."
"Do you know where Jingxiang is going?"
"Luoyang!"
"He is going to find Xu Fu." Gao Xiangsheng nodded. "But Zhu Youyu and the others will definitely think of this, so there must be many obstacles on this road. Are you sure to send him out?"
"Today Fan Sheng showed up in Chang'an, attracting a lot of attention. I guess he is going to help Jingxiang escape." Hao Ren said: "As for sending Jingxiang out, if there is no particularly unexpected situation, I am 70% sure."
Gao Xiangsheng turned around in the dark room for several circles, suddenly stood in front of Hao Ren, staring at Hao Ren and said, "Jing Xiang must die!"
"Ah?" Hao Ren was surprised: "Why is this?"
"Mr. Gongsun talked to me about Jingxiang, thinking that this guy is an extremely wise man and a difficult opponent to deal with." Gao Xiangsheng said slowly: "You said that he escaped, found Xu Fu, and then found Zhu Youzhen. What would he do?"
"Jing Xiang is Zhu Wen's planner, and he is also his friend for many years. If Zhu Wen really dies at the hands of Zhu Youyu, doesn't Jing Xiang want to take revenge? Besides, Jing Xiang has always been Zhu Youzhen's supporter. If he escapes, he naturally has to contact Xu Fu. Zhu Youzhen sends troops to quell the rebellion!" Hao Ren said for granted.
"Not necessarily!" Gao Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "What you said is Jingxiang's personal side, but you forgot that this person is still the prime minister of Daliang. This person has great ambitions and takes pacifying the world as his highest goal, so he may not care much about personal grudges."
"Since that's the case, why should he escape? Wouldn't he just surrender to Zhu Youyu directly?" Hao Ren disagreed.
"That's different." Gao Xiangsheng said: "If Zhu Youyu caught him, he might have killed him with one knife. If so, then Xu Fu and Zhu Youzhen would not have stopped there. Their civil war would inevitably break out. But he escaped and went to Xu Fu and Zhu Youzhen's side, but it is very likely that this situation would be prevented."
"You mean that this person will try his best to make up for the division between the major forces of Pseudo-Liang and become a hub for their connection?" Hao Ren asked in surprise.
Gao Xiangsheng nodded: "It is very likely. Xu Fu and Jingxiang have a close personal relationship, let alone Zhu Youzhen. He obeys Jingxiang, so if Jingxiang is alive, the civil strife in Daliang may not break out. But if he dies, it will be completely different."
"Then I will send a letter to Daddy Tao immediately and let him be Jingxiang!" Hao Ren said.
"This is too shallow. If you do this, can you still gain a foothold in Chang'an City in the future?" Gao Xiangsheng smiled faintly: "I will do this."
"What is General Gao going to do?" Hao Ren asked: "What cooperation is needed for us?"
Gao Xiangsheng glanced at Hao Ren, with a strange smile on his face: "You just need to tell me their escape route. I have some waist cards from the soldiers of the City Guardians, but this time it will come in handy."
"Are you going to pretend to be the officers and soldiers of the City Inspection Division and pretend that the City Inspection Division is chasing Jing Xiang?" Hao Ren suddenly realized.
"Of course, I will take action after entering Xu Fu's jurisdiction." Gao Xiangsheng said: "We will die, so Xu Fu will get these waist cards."
"Then I'll notify Blind Master Tao!" Hao Ren nodded understandingly.
"No need to notify." Gao Xiangsheng said lightly.
Hao Ren was stunned and immediately felt overwhelmed. A sudden chill of air appeared on his back: "General Gao, Daddy Tao is my brother, loyal and has no intention of the Tang Dynasty."
"If Dad Tao and your subordinates don't die, Fan Sheng will take your life. I don't think the people in the front office of the Palace can do anything to him!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "And you will still be in front of Zhu Youzhen and Xu Fu in the future. Without sacrifice, how can you protect you? Compared with Dad Tao, your status is much more important."
"But Blind Tao is dead, and the city patrol officer immediately knew that I was the one who sent Jing Xiang out!"
"So I will choose Xu Fu's territory to take action. Can the City Inspection Office find out who the people died?" Gao Xiangsheng said: "Even if they know some news, they will only think that this is Fan Sheng's staff. And how these people died, they are afraid they will be even more confused."
“But, but”
"Nothing is not true!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "Those who do our jobs must be prepared to die at any time. Of course, if this blind man Tao is powerful enough to escape from my attack, he will be considered a fortune. However, you must not let go of the slightest news. The most real reaction is the best cover-up. If he dies, he will be considered to be leeing and alive. That is his fortune."
"Jing Xiang and Fan Sheng's family are still here!"
