Peerless Pirates

Chapter 62 The Scapegoat

After Lu Qiang went out, Lu Shoubei asked Song Zheng to bring another chair and the three of them sat together. Lu Shoubei looked at Yang Tong and motioned for him to speak first.

Yang Tong nodded and said: "Little brother, have you ever heard of the Imperial City Division?"

Song Zheng was startled. He had heard the name of this spy organization all over the world for a long time. However, Song Zheng's face didn't show anything. He said: "I've heard of it. I read history books, and before Zhao Kuangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, designated the Wude Department as the Imperial City Department, which was specifically responsible for the entrance and exit of the palace and the guards. I heard that our Qi Dynasty also had an Imperial City Department, which should be similar to the previous dynasty, right?"

Comrade Yang said: "My little brother is wrong. The current Imperial City Division is much more powerful than the previous dynasty. It is not only in charge of the guards of the Imperial City, but also can detect news from various places. There are branches in every state in the country responsible for supervision. Officials at all levels investigate secrets and report them to the court."

Song Zheng was shocked and said: "I heard that during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao had set up the post of 'school official' to spread the news. If an official did something illegal, Cao Cao would soon know about it. Is the same for the Imperial City Secretary?"

Yang Tong nodded and said: "It's almost the same. However, although people from the Imperial City Department can spy on the secrets of some officials, they cannot deal with them at will and can only report them. Of course, if they are discovered while spying on secrets, officials cannot deal with the people at the Imperial City Department at will." .”

Song Zheng said: "That's impressive enough. As long as you're from the Imperial City Division, you can go anywhere."

Comrade Yang said: "My little brother is wrong again. First, the identities of the people in the Imperial City Division are hidden and have other identities as cover, and cannot be shown to the public. Secondly, the Imperial City Division also has an enemy, that is, the 'Dark Eagle'. "

Naturally, Song Zheng hurriedly asked what the "Dark Eagle" was.

Yang Tongdao: "My little brother must know that the current prime minister Huang Yuandu, the 'Dark Eagle' is a secret organization in his hands, and it is also spread all over the country to monitor hundreds of officials. The commander of the Imperial City Department is the uncle of the current emperor, the 'King of Tokyo' 'Pang Hui. The King of Tokyo and Huang Xiang, one is a civil servant leader and the other is a military commander. Some information from officials at all levels was gathered to these two military and political leaders. Originally, the Imperial City Secretary and the 'Dark Eagle' were in perfect harmony. He Shui even worked closely with them to deal with some unscrupulous officials and generals, and also captured a number of big gold and Xixia craftsmen. However, in the past two years, the relationship between the Imperial City Division and Dark Eagle has been tense, and there have been some fights in various places. My injury this time is also related to this."

Song Zheng was surprised again: "Brother, you...are you from the Imperial City Department?"

Yang Tong nodded and said: "I am not only from the Imperial City Division, but also the person in charge of Mizhou. If not, how would I know that Yao Changqing is Zhao Huan's illegitimate son?"

Lu Hengshan interjected: "When Zhao Huan came to propose marriage for Yao Changqing, your brother Yang told me the origin of Yao Changqing. I once asked you how brother Yang could know such a secret thing, but he was forced to do so, so he sent him Another identity was revealed to me. I have worked with your brother Yang for many years, and I only found out that he was from the Imperial City Division a few months ago. After your brother Yang asked for instructions from the top, I also joined the Imperial City Division. So, In the Mizhou Imperial City Division, your brother Yang is my boss."

Yang Tong said hurriedly: "I don't dare!"

Lu Hengshan said: "Yang Tong, you don't have to be like this. I joined the Imperial City Division just because I wanted to know more about the famous families in Mizhou. The famous families in Mizhou have been at odds with the garrison in the past two years, so I naturally want to know more about their situation. .I will not be too involved in other matters, which is what your superior has promised. Of course, when it comes to major matters involving the Imperial City Department, I still have to fulfill some responsibilities."

Song Zheng asked: "Brother Yang, Lord Guards, what you said to me today, do you want me to join the Imperial City Division?"

Yang Tong nodded and said: "Little brother, you are really smart, and you are good at martial arts. We have lost some people recently and we need you to join us."

Song Zheng did not agree immediately. He pondered for a while and asked: "Since the Imperial City Department is responsible for intelligence, I wonder how much Brother Yang knows about me?"

Yang Tongdao: "Little brother, there is no need to be suspicious. Master Lu told me since you showed your kung fu at the gate when you first came to the Academy, and I have been quite curious about you. Later that day we met by chance at Chaoruan Terrace, and I I am even more curious about you. I wanted to take you under my command, but you refused. After that day, I sent people to Shishan Town and Songjiazhuang to investigate. Speaking of which, several of us are interested in Song. Jiazhuang and Maling Lake are quite familiar. A big event happened there two years ago. However, you may not be aware of it."

Song Zheng secretly thought that what Yang Tong was talking about must be the secret treasure of King Lu. He did not expect that people from the Imperial City Department had heard about it and went there to investigate.

Yang Tong continued, "Our people found out after investigation that you were taught by Professor Song since you were a child and focused on reading. You are a well-known nerd in the village. In late June two years ago, you were beaten by your father and became ill. After the beating, you became extremely smart. After the beating, you focused on physical recovery and exercise. Two months later, your grandfather and the village doctor Gao Dafu were poisoned to death by Qian Youcai. You took the place of your father, Ding You, until you came to Mizhou. .As for where your skills come from, no one knows, which is what makes us curious."

No one would be happy to know that someone else was asking about the details, and Song Zheng was the same. He said with a cold face: "Brother Yang, did that person have a pre-arrangement to fight me at Chaoran Terrace?"

Yang Tong said hurriedly: "Little brother, please don't misunderstand. We met by chance that day. I have never met you, so how could I know that you are Song Zheng? Moreover, I only sent someone to find out after the fight that day. I think your talent is rare, and I want to wait until we get to know each other before introducing you to the Imperial City Division. You guys should know that to join an organization like the Imperial City Division, you must know the ins and outs. So, I went to investigate and found out Please understand, little brother."

Song Zheng recalled the first time he met Yang Tong, and it didn't seem like he was faking it. Based on his observation of Yang Tong, even if Yang Tong was acting, he would definitely not be able to perform to that level. So, Song Zheng nodded.

Seeing Song Zheng's stern expression, Yang Tong hurriedly said: "Anyway, I really mean well, and I hope my little brother won't be resentful towards me."

Lu Hengshan was also advising beside him, "Song Zheng, not to mention you, even when I joined the Imperial City Division, I had to explain all my three aunts, six aunts, seven uncles and grandma. Fortunately, Yang Tong treated me extremely well. If you understand, it will save them the trouble of probing around."

Song Zheng was silent for a moment, then turned around and said: "Brother Yang, don't worry, I just felt a little uncomfortable in my heart just now. Brother Yang loves me very much, and it is his duty, so how can I be troubled by this!"

Yang Tong and Lu Hengshan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Now the master and subordinate have changed positions. When Song Zheng first came to the garrison, he was worried about being dealt with by Lu Hengshan, so he was a little frightened. Now it is Yang Tong and Lu Hengshan who want to invite him to join In the Imperial City Division, Song Zheng naturally took the initiative.

Yang Tong asked softly: "Little brother, I don't know about joining the Imperial City Division..."

Song Zheng did not answer, but instead asked: "Brother Yang, you said that you have lost men recently and you have been injured yourself. I wonder if it is related to Dark Eagle?"

Yang Tong saw that Song Zheng seemed to be a little moved, so he nodded and said: "That's right. This matter is also strange. Around the Lantern Festival, two people from Dark Eagle went to the countryside to do business, but they were robbed and killed by Huang. On the road between Yazhen and Futai Town, the body was thrown into a small ditch on the roadside. Due to heavy snowfall, the body was buried. In addition, there was a lot of snow in the ditch, and the body was not discovered until half a month later. Due to the heavy snowfall, the body was not discovered until half a month later. There was a lot of conflict between the Imperial City Division and Dark Eagle, so they thought it was our people who did it. They said that our people not only stole the money, but also tortured and killed their people. One of the two Dark Eagles had his nose and throat broken. One was stabbed; the other had his hamstrings, thighs, lower body, waist and abdomen cut off, and was stabbed several times in the chest. I explained repeatedly that this was not our method, but these bastards just didn’t believe it and retaliated against us. He killed one of our brothers. Naturally, I was very angry. Last night, I took my five brothers with the best martial arts skills to make a fight with him in the dense forest in the east of Mizhou City. There were also six people on the other side, and the leader turned out to be the original Mizhou Dark Eagle. The person in charge named Mu was very capable. During the fierce fight, I was injured by this person, and two more brothers were buried in the dense forest. Only the four of us escaped."

After Song Zheng heard what Yang Tong said, he couldn't help being shocked. He didn't expect that he was the instigator. He killed the ninth brother and the thirteenth brother, and the people from the Imperial City Division became the scapegoat. Seeing Song Zheng stunned, Yang Tong thought that he had been He was stunned and said hurriedly: "Little brother, if you join the Imperial City Division, I will never let you do such a dangerous thing. How to resolve the matter between us and Dark Eagle is beyond our scope. Now we can only ask Feng has made a decision and there will be results in a few days. Therefore, my brother will not let you participate in this matter."

Song Zheng secretly said that he tortured Brother Ninth that day and learned that it was Mizhou Dark Eagle who arrested Old Man Gao and Xiaolian, and Brother Ninth was involved. However, Brother Ninth knew very little. After they caught them, they handed them over. They were given to "Mr. Lu". When Mr. Lu handed Gao Gao and Xiaolian over to Mizhou Dark Eagle, there were already two sets of corpses. Brother Jiu and others placed the two corpses at night and sent them back to Gao. The old man’s family arranged to frame Qian Youcai. As for the person who came to the Song family to poison, Brother Jiu didn’t know. It should be one of Huang Song’s two men he saw that day. However, in any case, Mizhou Dark Eagle They are all accomplices and must be removed! The reason why I did not go to the "Xingyuan Gambling Defense", the home of the Mizhou Dark Eagle, was mainly because I was not strong enough and was afraid of alerting the enemy. Now if I can borrow the power of the Imperial City Division, then Nature is the best.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng said: "Brother Yang, what are you talking about? I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! What I am worried about is that my martial arts is low and I cannot avenge my elder brother."

Lu Hengshan reacted faster and said immediately: "So, you agreed to join the Imperial City Division?" (Please comment, please flowers, be on the list...)
