Peerless Pirates

Muyu was sitting in a courtyard behind Yuxiang Tower, with a solemn expression. Opposite him was Li Hongniang, who had an equally gloomy expression.

This courtyard is not far from the trading building of Huitong Trading House. Whether it is Yuhua Building, Yuxiang Building or Huitong Trading House, they are all places where people gather. For Imperial City Si Zuosi, it is also an excellent place to inquire about news. place.

For this reason, while actively setting up informants, Yousi also set up a yard behind Yuxiang Building and set up a stronghold to collect and collect information from all aspects.

Ever since Song Zheng left Jiangning and headed west, Muyu changed Yousi's usual publicity. The entire Yousi fell silent and began to quietly rectify and expand. Muyu was not allowed to keep a low profile. Song Zheng's departure was to a certain extent. Being squeezed out. The previous actions made Yousi famous, and many officials were frightened by Yousi. Song Zheng was forced to go to Shu as an envoy. Jiangning officials all celebrated "sending off the God of Plague". The God of Plague has left, and the officials They are no longer so afraid of Yousi.

Of course, now that Yousi has put away his butcher knife, no one among the officials is willing to take the initiative to provoke Yousi again. Don’t forget, when the “God of Plague” was leaving, the emperor sent him out of Jiangning city gate. Who knows what the God of Plague will do when he returns? I won't show my knife again.

In the past few months, the war in Northern Xinjiang has aroused the nerves of all the people of Daqi. Everyone involved is busy with the war, and everyone who is not involved is talking about the war. Yousi's silent expansion has also been annihilated and unknown here. In the tide of war.

Compared with You Si, Zuo Si's actions were very flamboyant. When Duan Ren went north with Pang Hui, Zuo Si Supervisor Zheng Huanxing, who was in charge of Zuo Si's work in Jiangning, raised the butcher's knife. The city guards and the capital guards In the navy and even in the garrison camps in various states in the south of the Yangtze River, six or seven generals from thousands of households were dismissed, making Zuo Si famous.

Not only that, the storm of rectification within Zuosi was far from over. While Pang Hui and Duan Ren devoted themselves to the war, Huanxing continued to overthrow old people and install close associates. Among those suppressed was Li Hongniang, the commander-in-chief of Zuosi in Jiangning. Perhaps because he knew about Li Hongniang's relationship with the palace, Huan Xing did not attack Li Hongniang blatantly, but instead recruited a few people to defeat Li Hongniang.

Li Hongniang had long wanted to leave Zuo Si, and she just happened to quit this time. As for Hu Qiang, Zhu Jian and other old people from Shandong Road, they were persuaded by Li Hongniang to stay in Zuo Si, serving as Li Hongniang's spy, waiting for the opportunity ( Read the full text of "The Princess in the World"). Li Hongniang found a courtyard close to Fengzhuyuan and planned to live there with Xiaoping, Xiang Qing and others, and also spend time with Qian'er, Ming'er and Se'er. contacts.

However, Li Hongniang had just bought the yard and had not yet settled down, when she suddenly came to Mu Yu. She was not for the old department, but because it was related to Zuo Si Duan Ren, the number one figure in Zuo Si, who had mysteriously disappeared.

"When did Duan Dutong disappear?" Mu Yu also felt that this matter was very strange.

"It's been five or six days." Li Hongniang said, "Last night, my brother who stayed in Zuosi Yamen told me that Duan Dutong was missing. The details are not clear. I only know that Duan Dutong had something to go to five days ago. He went out of the city and never came back. The brothers didn't pay attention at first, but last night, Huan Xing suddenly announced that Duan Dutong had another mission to leave, so the brothers felt something was not right, so they reported to me. "

"Five days ago?" Mu Yu frowned, "Then it should be that the news of the prince's death has just reached Jiangning. Duan Dutong's disappearance at this time is probably not a good sign."

"I also have this doubt." Li Hongniang nodded, "Have you asked You Si's brother to check and see where Duan Dutong has gone?"

"Well, I'm going to send my men out right now. Don't worry, as long as there are some clues, they will be found." Mu Yu comforted, "By the way, I remember that Duan Dutong always had two big guys, Pang Zhen and Pang Xun, around him. Accompanied by masters, they also disappeared together?"

"Pang Zhen is in Tokyo, and Duan Dutong is surrounded by Pang Xun."

Muyu hummed and began to think about how to allocate manpower. Now that Pang Hui has just died, Jiangning officials move around very frequently, and there are also many officials from other places coming to Beijing. Although Yousi has increased his manpower a lot, he still feels a little overwhelmed. However, , Duan Ren's disappearance is a big deal, and there is something strange about it, so we must find out no matter what.

In a courtyard close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Huang Song looked at Lian Shui'er sitting by the bed, with a hint of surprise in his eyes (Latest Chapter of Feng Yin).

Huang Song didn't have the slightest pity for this woman who had taken pleasure in his crotch many times. In his opinion, Lian Shui'er was just a low-level lackey of the Duke's Mansion, and he only had two functions here: news. A transmitter and a tool for venting desire. Even if this tool is a little clever and charming, it just makes the tool more useful. How can a tool be qualified to negotiate with oneself?

However, Huang Song was impressed by Lian Shui'er today. This time, a letter came from Guo Gong's Mansion. There was only one line in the letter, which meant that Lian Shui'er negotiated with Huang Song on behalf of Guo Gong's Mansion.

Huang Song looked at the letter in his hand again. Yes, it was the style and mark agreed upon between him and the Duke's government. Even all the secret words and code names in the letter were correct. These had all been verified.

After coughing lightly, Huang Song said calmly, "Miss Lian, what do you want the Duke to do this time? The post of Taiwei is now vacant. With the prestige of the Duke, as long as he proposes it, this position will definitely be taken. It’s not in anyone else’s hands.”

"There is a difference between taking the initiative to ask for a job and visiting the thatched cottage three times. Second Young Master should understand this."

"Three visits to the thatched cottage?" Huang Song chuckled softly, "Now that Dong Lancheng and Qiao Zhenchuan are calling for it, a new lieutenant has been born among them. I don't see any hope of 'three visits to the thatched cottage' to invite the Duke to come out."

"Your Majesty asked me to tell the second young master, Qiao Zhenchuan or Dong Lancheng, that the fight between these two people was a means arranged by that man before his death. The purpose is to keep the position of Taiwei in the hands of that man's cronies."

"Is this what happened?" Huang Song looked surprised.

"It's just a means. Soon, Qiao Zhenchuan will use an excuse to show weakness, and Dong Lancheng will take over the post of Taiwei. Originally, Yang Zhen, the commander of the city guard army, was also the Minister of War, but it was too eye-catching, and the Queen Mother had already planned to send Yang Zhen away. Go to Xijing. As for Qiao Zhenchuan, he will be transferred to the city guard. Xiao Dingguo is not the military envoy of the right route of Shandong Pass as rumored, but directly appointed as the governor of Shandong Pass. With this arrangement, his direct lineage will still be in charge of the Qi army. "

"You have put a lot of effort into mobilizing the military. (Read the full text of "Borrowing a Corpse to Become a Princess". Huang Song sneered. Da Qi conquered Chang'an, established Xijing Pass, and Pang Huishen died. This involved Da Qi's entire military. Major events and various versions of military personnel changes have been widely circulated for a long time. Even so, Huang Song was surprised that a woman like Lian Shui'er was so familiar with her.

Lian Shui'er smiled and didn't answer. Lian Shui'er's smile was completely devoid of flattery. At this moment, she seemed to be a different person. She actually had a bit of dignity, which made people have to admire her acting skills. Such a person can't help but admire her acting skills. In future generations, he will definitely be a first-class celebrity.

Huang Song was lost for a moment and then said, "It's not surprising that the Duke of Guo can see through that person's conspiracy. I just want to know what the Duke will do next? Or what can you say to me?"

"What? It's been so long and you still don't believe in the Duke?"

"It's not about trusting or not believing, it's just mutual use. The things I did before are considered investments in the Duke of Guo. It's best for the Duke of Guo to ascend to that position, otherwise, I will make these investments with profits. Redeem them all."

"Young Master, don't worry, the Duke will not let you lose money." Lian Shui'er chuckled, "I can't go into details about the Duke's plan. I can only tell you that neither Dong Lancheng nor Qiao Zhenchuan will have a chance to get involved. The position of Taiwei and even the position of commander of the city guard will be given up. But the young master has only one thing to do, and that is to kill someone."

"Kill a person?" Huang Song chuckled, "What? Does the Duke's Office think that Huang is someone who can use a knife or a gun? How can I kill someone if I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken?"

Lian Shui'er smiled and said, "This person is easy for the Young Master. As long as the Young Master agrees, the Duke will help the Young Master to kill him, and it will not be obvious that the Young Master did it."

"Who are you killing?"

"Lu Junqing."

"Lu Junqing?" Huang Song was shocked, "Mr. Lu has already retired and has not participated in political affairs for a long time. Why do you want to kill him?"

"I don't know about that (read the full text of Talking about Jianghu)." Lian Shui'er said with a smile, "That's what the Duke of the Kingdom told me."

"It's simply baffling. What does this have to do with the Duke's fight for the throne?" Huang Song frowned, "Besides, Mr. Lu was my father's right-hand man. Although he has retired, he is still protected by experts. How easy is it to kill him? "

"Second Young Master will always find a way." Lian Shui'er said softly while arranging her hairpin, "The Duke of Guo has said that as long as Second Young Master kills Lu Junqing, Duke Guo will definitely do it after he takes office. Attack Huitong Trading House, cancel its status as a military supplier, and then join forces with the Second Young Master to collapse Huitong Trading House, leaving Huang Yue with nothing."

Huang Song's eyes lit up, then he frowned and said, "The Duke of Guo may have misunderstood what I meant. I am not trying to bring down Huitong Trading House, but I want to take over the entire trading house."

"That's easy to say. As long as the Second Young Master joins forces with the Duke of Guo, Huitong Trading Company will be at your fingertips." Lian Shui'er said nonchalantly, "As for the other concern of the Second Young Master, please rest assured, Lord Guo, that man will never come back. Daqi, it would be great if he could leave his whole body in Shu."

"You don't have to say it so nice!" Huang Song said angrily, "The Duke's office also hates him to the core!"

"I don't know if it can penetrate into the bones. It's just that the young master can get rid of a heart problem, right? In fact, the young master may represent the Prime Minister's Office, and there can be cooperation with the Duke's Office. If..."

Huang Song quickly waved his hand and interrupted, "No need, I am cooperating with the Duke of Guo on my own behalf, not on behalf of the Prime Minister's Office. Otherwise, do you think my father will allow you to deal with Huitong Trading Company?"

Lian Shui'er shook her head, and Yingying stood up, "I have said everything I should say. The Duke hopes to see a reply from the Second Young Master within three days."

After saying that, Lian Shui'er walked towards the door. Suddenly, she stopped, turned around and chuckled, "I suddenly remembered something. The Duke said that the second young master is young and talented, and has far-reaching wisdom, even better than your father. He is truly a talented person of a generation."

Huang Song's eyes widened instantly and he clenched his fists.
