Chapter 28 Bystander Clear
In the evening, Chu Tianya and Wang Xun went back to the capital to pay their errands. They were going to officially visit Wang, but he happened to be not in the house, so Chu Tianya went home. The rules of the capital government are much stricter than those of the palace of Guangyang County. It prohibits soldiers and Han from entering and leaving at will, and it is not allowed to disturb the people at night. Fortunately, Chu Tianya had asked for an order from Wang Yu before, so the sergeant who guarded the door of the house did not embarrass Chu Tianya and let him go in and out freely.
When Chu Tianya got home, Uncle He had prepared dinner. Yesterday, there were many unfinished dishes and wine. The two of them finally cleaned up after a full meal. Later, Chu Tianya said that he would go to Fuxing Inn to find Xiao Linglong.
As soon as Uncle He heard about this, he smiled strangely, "Yes, the young master should go. You have to strike the iron while it's hot!"
"Where do you want to go, Uncle He?" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I'm looking for her for business?"
"What else can happen when a lonely man and a woman are together?" Uncle He seemed to joke and said seriously, "I don't care about such an important thing as a lifelong event, but what does the young master want to gossip about with the fierce princess?"
Chu Tianya thought for a moment and said, "I have a bold idea. I don't know if it's workable."
"If you can say it, the young master will tell the old man. Maybe the old man can refer to the young master for details. Uncle He said, "Of course, if it's a big deal, it's better not to tell the old man. Just think I've never asked."
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I have no relatives in this world. Uncle He treats me like a biological person. How can I hide something from you? It's like this..."
Chu Tianya told He Bo about the premeditated assassination of Tong Guan and the seizure of military power.
Bo He was really calm. After listening to this "sky-shaking" plan, he was like listening to a calm storytelling, and his reaction was very cold. He said, "There are more than tens of millions of people who want to kill children in the world? It's not surprising that the young master has this idea. However, it may not be easy to implement.
"It's easy on the surface." Chu Tianya said, "I know that Tong Guan is well guarded, and he is not weak. However, I am now a follower of Wang, and it is not difficult to get close to him.
"It's really easy to take his life." He Bo sneered disdainfully and said, "Who can be stopped by the broken walls of Guangyang County's palace and a group of local chickens and dog-like guards? The difficult thing is that if you kill Tong Guan, Zhang Guan and Li Guan will immediately top his vacancy. How can this chaotic thieves all over the world be killed? - But at the present, it is not difficult to kill Tong Guan. The difficult thing is that if he dies, the victory of the victory army will be in chaos. If the army is in chaos, big things are not good. Maybe Taiyuan is already a mess without waiting for the female real person to call. Therefore, it is better to be cautious about killing children. At least, it is feasible to solve the problem of how to appease and take over the army after killing Tong Guan.
"It is for this reason that I have concerns." Chu Tianya frowned and said, "Tong Guan has led the army for many years. At present, this victorious army is his personal medal, and the lieutenant general is mostly his confidant. Even Wang, who is loyal and dedicated to repaying the country, knows that Tong Guan is a treacherous minister who harms the country, but he does not even refuse to be disrespectful to him in private. It can be seen that Tong Guan's prestige in the victorious army is unmatched. Therefore, I'm worried that if Tong Guan is assassinated, what will he really say - the army is out of control, and the situation is more uncontrollable than when Tong Guan was alive.
"So, you still have to think carefully!" Uncle He nodded with approval and smiled, "It seems that the old man's worries are superfluous. The young master is smart and thoughtful, and he will definitely be able to deal with the problem of children. The old man has only one suggestion to say, that is - Tong Guan deserves to die and can be killed, but he must be righteous and obedient. Don't be in vain for a while. If you get into trouble, it will ruin the overall situation.
Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "Why don't I want to relieve my anger and kill this ugly castration? But it's easy to say, but it's really hard to do! First of all, he is in power, and the military generals respect him... It seems that if you want to kill Tong Guan, it is not only an individual work, but also a technical job!"
"Oh, that's interesting." Uncle He smiled and said, "Yes, if you really want to take his life, it's just the strength to kill chickens and dogs; but this 'technical work' can only rely on the young master's discretion and control, and the old man can't help."
Chu Tianya patted his head depressedly, "I have to think about it carefully... Time is running out!" I haven't even seen Tong Guan!"
"No hurry, take your time." Uncle He's turbid old eyes flashed bright light again, and he said meaningfully, "With the young master's talent, I can definitely think of a way."
Chu Tianya nodded incompetently, but his heart was faintly cold. He thought: He clearly had something to say, as if he was implying that "I" was no longer the former Chu Tianya. He has been in the Chu family for so many years. It can be said that he watched Chu Tianya grow up. Can he not understand him? ...This Uncle He is really a man!
"Young master, go and meet that Princess Xiao!" Uncle He smiled strangely again, "That little lady is really good. If there is a chance, the young master can't let go... Why don't you ask the old man to take her away for you, and then worship her in the bridal chamber first. Maybe she will die, hey hey!"
"Xiao Linglong is right to scold, Bohe, you are really a shameless old man!" Chu Tianya laughed a few times and went out.
He Bo was still sitting on the arch stone steps in the backyard. He looked at Chu Tianya's distant back and sighed quietly and said to himself, "Overnight, it was like two people... Master Chu, do you know if you can tell the old man in a dream? What's going on?"
Chu Tianya went to Fuxing Inn and found the guest room where Xiao Linglong was, and saw the two strange-shaped King Kong, Ada and Anu standing at the door.
"Where's your master?" Chu Tianya asked.
"I'm asleep." The big man Anu replied with a blank face.
"So early?" Chu Tianya said puzzled, "I have something to discuss with her. Can you pass it on?"
"No." The short Ada answered neatly.
Chu Tianya frowned and saw that the two servants were too lazy to talk nonsense, so he was ready to leave.
At this time, Xiao Linglong's voice came from the inner room, "Let him in."
Ada and Anu gave way left and right, "Please come in."
Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled, and then prepared to push the door. When he first stretched out his hand, his wrist was caught by the short Ada. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "You bullied my master last night?"
Chu Tianya couldn't help but be shocked. The action of this thin man Ada was not only as fast as lightning, but also his hand strength was amazing, which made his bones hurt.
"say." Anu also asked in a low voice.
"Do you think it's possible?" Chu Tianya looked at the two strange servants and said, "If I bullied her, how dare I come now?"
Both of them were stunned, and Ada let go of his hand. Then, the two of them stood there like a mud bodhisattva, motionless and did not look at Chu Tianya.
Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and pushed the door into the room.
The oil lamp is lit in the room, and it is a little dark. After entering the door, there is a room with tables and chairs for guests, and the bedroom and bed are separated by a layer of bead curtains. Xiao Linglong's clothes were placed at the head of the bed, and ** was pulling the tent, which showed that she was really asleep.
"Is it convenient to talk?" Chu Tianya stood by the curtain and asked.
"If you have something to say, just say it, and chat will be avoided... Cough!" Xiao Linglong actually coughed.
"You really caught a cold?" Chu Tianya said, "Forget it. Have a good rest. I'll visit you when you get better."
"Why are you such a slugging man? Let me say it if you have anything!" Xiao Linglong said impatiently, and then coughed a few times in a row.
"I'm here to discuss confidential matters, for fear that the wall will have ears." Chu Tianya said indifferently, "So, it's better for us to whisper to face to face when you recover from your illness.
Xiao Linglong was silent for a moment and said, "Since it is a confidential matter, it should not be delayed. That's all right. Come in and move a stool to the head of the bed.
"Princess Xiao really knows the light body, so I will be rude." Chu Tianya came in, moved a small round stool and sat sideways by her bed. He whispered, "Then I said - I want to kill Tong Guan!"
"Then you can kill it! Mr. He has extraordinary skills. Is it difficult for him to get such a small thing? Xiao Linglong lay in the tent and said.
"It's not that simple. That's why I want to talk to you." Chu Tianya said, "It's not difficult to take his life. The problem is that if he dies like this inexplicably, the army will definitely be in chaos, and the court will also pursue it. Perhaps without waiting for the golden soldiers to go south, Taiyuan has become a pot of porridge. Isn't that counterproductive?"
"This is familiar. I seem to have heard from Fourth Brother Bai talk about it." Xiao Linglong said, "Xue Sange went down the mountain privately and came to assassinate the child. As a result, after returning to the mountain, he was said by Fourth Brother Bai for a long time. Among them, such a truth is mentioned. It can be seen that Tong Guan, this damn traitor, is indeed not something that can be killed casually!"
"Counting it, Tong Guan should also be Princess Xiao's sworn enemy, right?" Chu Tianya said, "Song Jin jointly attacked Liao, and it was the soldiers he led."
"Ask knowingly!" Xiao Linglong snorted angrily and immediately coughed violently again.
"Okay, don't be excited." Chu Tianya said hurriedly, "Why don't we talk about it when you get better?"
"It's just cold. You can't die, and it's not your turn to pity the jade." Xiao Linglong said indifferently, "Big brother ordered me to come and talk to you about the joint fight against gold. No matter what personal reason, I won't neglect the business - don't talk nonsense, just say it directly! What do you want me to do for Qixingzhai?"
Chu Tianya frowned, "Originally, I wanted to entrust you to help me contact Xue Yu and ask him to come down the mountain to discuss with me about cleaning up Tong Guan. But when I heard that you just said that he was scolded after returning to the mountain, that's all.
"Strange. Although Xue Sange's ability is not bad, isn't there a ready-made Uncle He around you? Why do you need to work Brother Xue down the mountain? Xiao Linglong asked.
"We have just said for various reasons that Tong Guan should not be assassinated." Chu Tianya said, "But Xue Yu was once under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the Daming Mansion; he knew all the crimes of Tong Guan when he was the governor of Hebei. So I think, if Xue Yu can come out to testify to Tong Guan and make his affairs public, can Tong Guan lose his prestige in the victory army and cause the resentment of the people of Taiyuan, so that he can become the target of public criticism? - Of course, I am also a stupid way to run out of skills; it seems that it's not too good. It will work."
"I thought you were a little smart; now it seems that you are really stupid... cough, cough!" Xiao Linglong coughed heavily and didn't forget to sneer.
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Then please ask Your Highness for advice?"
"I have nothing to point you on. Conspiracy and trickery, isn't it the specialty of you southerners? Xiao Linglong said, "As far as I know, the so-called 'childish crimes' that Xue Sange knows are all the words you taught him. How can he really know the secrets of Tong Guan? Besides, even if Xue Sange really knows, who believes his words as a Taihang giant? Also, do you think the people in the Shengjie Army really don't know about Tong Guan? Don't most people dare to be angry and dare not say anything, or are they used to it, or even a sting?
"Oh... So I said that this trick may not work." Chu Tianya scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "Time is too tight! At this time, I really couldn't think of any good way. So I thought about it. Since Guizhai sent Princess Xiao to come, it must be because the host of Xiao County is very resourceful. That's why I came here to ask for advice!"
"Well... Your flattering skills are really not good." Xiao Linglong said while coughing.
Having said that, Chu Tianya clearly heard that her words were no longer as cold and mean as they were just now, and even mixed with a smile.
It's really a lot of clothes to wear, but no flattery! - Chu Tianya laughed secretly in his heart and said to Xiao Linglong, "I don't know, Princess Xiao, do you have a wonderful idea to teach me?"
"I can't talk about a clever plan, but there is one thing that I am a bystander." Xiao Linglong said, "Since Tong Guan holds power and has great prestige in the victory and victory army, it is not easy for the military and civilian people to attack him - but if he dies in the hands of another person, it is not a wonderful thing!"
"Wake up the dreamer with one word!" Chu Tianya suddenly seemed to be enlightened. He patted his knee with great joy. He couldn't help but burst out a mantra that he used to say in the police force--
"Princess Xiao, I really love you so much!"
"...You can go to hell!"
