Chapter 124 Big Killing
Qin Mubai smiled at himself and said, "I have also admired your family for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to get to know each other. If you can do a little for your boss this time, it will be regarded as a gift.
"General Qin is really smart, and I admire him very much." Hu Gan Chengji smiled brightly, and his face was like a ** blooming. He arched his hand and said flatteringly, "At the last minute, the owner repeatedly told him that no matter what the general had or need, he would be satisfied. After thinking about it again and again, the general is in a high position and proud. He is a rich man who is sure that there is no shortage of yellow and white vulgar things. It's just that it's hard to see an excellent woman in this poor place in Jiangzhou... So he made a reckless decision and put more than a dozen first-class beauties for the general, and put them in Quwo, a county adjacent to Jishan. If the general doesn't dislike it, why don't you take some time to go to Quwo?
Qin Mubai laughed and said, "No wonder the owner sent you here. You are really a good person. To be honest, I was busy in the military village every day, and I saw all the men's gangs. In my heart... Even His Royal Highness the King of Wu couldn't stand it, and ordered the assassin of Jiangzhou to look for the concubine. But we subordinates, how can we have such privileges? Well, you can go back to Quwo to make an appointment to wait for me. When I go back and make up an excuse to get rid of myself, I will go there to meet you. In addition, I also want to send a letter to the owner. There is no pen and ink here, and I don't bring a private seal, and I have to go back to the camp to prepare.
"It's so good." Xingan Chengji arched his hand and said with a smile, "Then wait for the general in Qingming Tea Garden, Quwo County?" That place, quiet and elegant, was opened by my friend. Although it is not as good as Chang'an's first wine in the world, it is guaranteed that the general will be satisfied and comfortable after he goes there.
"Good! That's it!" Qin Mubai reached out and patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "This is really an old acquaintance in a foreign country. I want to thank you so much!"
"How dare you? It's an honor to be able to do the errands ordered by the owner and serve the general."
"Then I won't go back to the camp first, so as not to doubt his life. Later, your path will go back to Quwo. Don't make it public.
"The general can rest assured that he has always been careful when doing things."
Later, Qin Mubai left here and got on the carriage and went back to the flood control levee along the original road. Naturally, no one asked Qin Mubai about his personal affairs. Immediately, he secretly called a Baiqi confidant to teach him a secret order.
"Go ahead! At this time, I was on the road just in time. Remember, be sure to do it cleanly!" In Qin Mubai's eyes, such a fierce murder burst out for the first time.
"General, don't worry, I'll wait!"
Looking at a team of hundred riders disappearing in the woods like ghosts, Qin Mubai couldn't help snorting coldly, and a trace of cruel pleasure flashed in his heart!
You must die!
Otherwise, I, Qin Mubai, will die!
It's just that Li Chengqian was too confused because he didn't know the current affairs. Unexpectedly, he sent someone to dictate to me at this time. If there is no intervention in this matter, it will be fine. At worst, I will hand over the trouble to Li Ke to deal with it.
Now that Hukan Chengji has appeared, he must become a substitute. Otherwise, I will either disobey the emperor and betray Li Ke, or swear to be irrecontible with the prince from now on!
Two hours later, it was already night.
Qin Mubai lit a lamp and read in his military tent.
At this time, a hundred-riders suddenly entered the military tent and fell in front of Qin Mubai.
"How's it going?"
"It's already appropriate. There are six people, and there is no one left - the class finger is here!" After saying that, the pawn handed it up with a small cloth bag.
Qin Mubai unfolded and saw that it was indeed the leading class finger he had just seen.
The pawn continued, "We will hand over the bodies to the Quwo County government after killing these six people according to the general's instructions. Just say that these six people are Jiangyang thieves, stealing the treasures of the East Palace and then fooling around. We wait for the identity of the bright hundred riders, and the other party is convinced.
"Well done." Qin Mubai looked at the class finger for a while and said, "You can work hard later. You will travel to Chang'an overnight and return the class finger to the prince of the East Palace. If he cross-examination, you can say what you just said.
"The villain can save it, general, don't worry."
"Go ahead!"
The pawn answered and dodged out.
Qin Mubai just breathed a sigh of relief.
This may be the most ruthless thing I have done in my two lifetimes. Six human lives, I just waved my hand and disappeared in an instant.
The struggle in officialdom is so dangerous. If you want not to be killed or used as cannon fodder, you have to step on other people's bodies and use more others as gun poles and cannon fodder.
Qin Mubai thought very clearly that although he was the confidant who killed Li Chengqian, the other party would not hate him, but would be grateful to himself.
The reason is very simple - Qin Mubai did this, which was undoubtedly a hint to the prince: You have made a faint move! If you don't change it, it's too late to repent!
If Li Chengqian is not so stupid that he is heinous, he will definitely be able to figure out the reason for Qin Mubai to do so! - A minister dares to kill a prince's confidant. Is he crazy? The only reason that prompted him to do so was that there were people more powerful than the prince staring at his every move behind his back!
Who else can there be?!
If Li Chengqian now realizes that the emperor is ordering Qin Mubai to handle the case, it is not too late to make up for the dead sheep. The most important thing he should do now is to get rid of Shengnanhou at the first time. Unless this is the case, there is no way to protect yourself.
Qin Mubai wanted to protect himself and killed six people including Qi Gan Chengji; if Li Chengqian wanted to protect himself, he must fall into the well with Zhang Tianci, Marquis of Shengnan and others!
This is the rule of the game!
In fact, Qin Mubai didn't like or hate Li Chengqian, and he didn't even see him. He is doing this now for two purposes: one is, of course, not to disobey Li Shimin and betray Li Ke, nor to offend the prince. He has always understood the principle that many friends have more roads, fewer enemies and fewer walls. What's more, it is not easy for both sides to offend. Second, he also hopes that Li Chengqian can wake up and take action in advance to minimize the disturbance of the case.
If Li Chengqian is smart, if he can go to Li Shimin's place to take the initiative to expose Sheng Nanhou at this time, then he will not only have no fault but may have merit. In this way, people who secretly want to use this case to talk about waste will have no way to start, and the court can avoid a major shock.
There is no end under the nest, and the grand earthquake in the imperial court is not good for anyone. Qin Mubai doesn't want to engage in any political speculation. At this time, he speculatively turns the target to achieve the goal of flat progress. In particular, I live in such a ** position as a Baiqi envoy, and this time I came out to handle this ** case. Once there is a storm, I will be in the center of the most dangerous whirlpool.
It is such a simple truth that it is easy to be an official in a peaceful and prosperous world. Qin Mubai just didn't want to make a big deal in this case, just to the extent that the imperial court abolished the crown prince. Whether Li Shimin really wants to abolish the crown prince or not, it's all his business. He was used as a gun by him for no reason, and then he was involved in the battle for the throne and suffered a disaster.
After I get out of the matter, you, Li Shimin, will toss around no matter to you.
In addition, Qin Mubai also has a little intention of taking care of Li Ke.
Li Shimin sent Li Ke to investigate the Jiangzhou case, which undoubtedly pushed him to the forefront of the storm and many tests. If the wind and waves can calm down from Li Chengqian, it is like pulling down from the bottom of the kettle, Li Shimin's attention will directly turn to Li Chengqian, which is the best way.
In this way, Li Ke's pressure will be much less. As Li Ke's partner, he is naturally much more peaceful.
Why not be happy with the cheap prince, the king of Wu and so many people?
Maybe he is destined to be a cannon fodder and a scapegoat...
When things were done, Qin Mubai felt a little at peace. Although he has six lives, it is far more comfortable than facing countless cold guns and hidden arrows or even going to the guilloma.
At this moment, Qin Mubai finally understood the meaning of a sentence: all politicians are scheming and cruel. Otherwise, he could not become a "home". Before that, he had already become a stepping stone or a scapegoat for others.
Less than a year after coming to Datang and embarking on an official career, I have completely changed. Such a thing can't be done by myself in the past.
That's also because... I have never faced a life-and-death crisis before!
At this time, Qin Mubai finally realized that history has always been written by victors, politics | struggle, only the final success or failure, no absolute good and evil... Even Li Shimin, a generation of saints praised by future generations, has more blood on his hands than anyone else!
......
After all, it was the first time that he killed so many people. Although he didn't do it himself, Qin Mubai's heart was inevitably full of ups and downs, and he didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. And he is thinking about whether it is necessary to tell Li Ke about this matter of Hu Gan Chengji...
In the end, he decided not to do it!
If Li Ke knew that he had done this, with his shrewdness and mental skills, he would soon think of Qin Mubai's behavior. Although the starting point was for the good of the two of them, it also had the intention of secretly helping Li Chengqian.
Who knows in Li Ke's heart what kind of views and attitudes he has towards the Prince of the East Palace, and whether he is in an absolute state of hatred for him? It's better to have less than one more thing. Don't tell him!
If Li Chengqian is smart enough, not only will he not have a grudge against him this time, but he will be a favor to him. Although there is no need to flatter him, it's better than holding a grudge!
The night was deep, and the army had already sounded the horn of sleeping. There was only silence around, and occasionally the soldiers of the patrol camp passed by neatly.
Qin Mubai finally felt a little tired. Not long after he lay down, someone suddenly ran out of the tent to ask for a meeting.
"General, I have something important to report to you!" It's a hundred riders.
"Come in!" Qin Mubai turned over and sat up.
"General, Chen Yan is gone!" One of the two hundred riders who came in was responsible for monitoring and guarding Chen Yan.
"What?" Qin Mubai frowned, "When did you find it?"
"Before the time of half incense, I saw her walking back and forth with the lights in the room. The little man just went to solve it. When he came back, he disappeared, and he couldn't find it left and right!" The pawn said nervously and frightenedly.
Qin Mubai frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted in surprise and angrily, "It's not good!"
