Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 872 There are no tigers in the mountains

At the same time that Xijing City received the news from Jiangnan, Yancheng also received the same news. Rao, the young master and young master Chu Ran, who are indifferent to everything and are not prone to too many emotional changes, saw the two Buddha statues. When he saw the portrait, his complexion changed drastically, and his mood swings were very obvious.

"Tianxingjiao?" The young master's hands trembled twice, and the water in the teacup in his hand spilled all over the floor. He put the teacup back on the table, "I haven't heard from them for more than [-] years, right? Chao Yu Nian is not dead yet, but he came out again? Do they really think that we have really retired, and no one can control them?"

"Brother, what do you mean, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings?"

"It's too high to look at them, how can they have the qualifications."

"Brother, if they heard what you said, they might be furious. However, those remnants of the previous dynasty, including their relatives, have now been turned into ashes, so they probably won't come out again? If they This is so scary!" Master Chu Ran looked at the two Buddha statues, "Besides, we searched very carefully back then, and anyone who had anything to do with them was listed as wanted and arrested by us. Even if there are The fish that slipped through the net shouldn't pose any threat, right?" He raised his head to look at the eldest young master, "Brother, do you think it has been more than twenty years, and there are still people who will die for them?"

"It's hard to say. There are quite a few people who are loyal to them. Back then, they attracted a group of believers who had no second thoughts about them. We also said back then that such a few sporadic remnants of the previous dynasty would not make a big deal. , You don’t need to bother at all, you can crush them to death with a little finger. But what happened? They slapped us in the face with practical actions. How much effort, how much manpower and financial resources did we spend, to get them Caught? A lesson from the past, don’t forget it!”

"Yes, what my brother taught me is that I remember it."

"So, this time, we must get ahead of them and completely crush them to death, so as not to give them a chance to revive."

"Understood." Master Chu Ran nodded, "Xiao Jue should have received the news, I don't know what they planned, but what is certain is that they will not let this opportunity go so easily."

"Let our people be smart and help at critical moments."

"Yes, I think so too. Our people don't need to show up, they just need to cooperate with their actions. This time, there must be no mistakes."

"You must be cautious, be careful, and don't be sloppy in one step. This is an extraordinary period, and you can't make extra troubles."

"Understood, I will pass on the order in a moment, don't worry!"

"Hmm!" The young master thought for a while, "By the way, Xiaojue and the others don't know about the real background of Tianxingjiao? Are we, Brother Huang, the only ones who know that Tianxingjiao is the remnants of the previous dynasty?" , Brother Tong, and Chenchen?"

"Let's think about it, it should be... No, besides us, there are two others who know about it."

"Anyone else? Who?"

"The two father-in-laws who followed the emperor before and now follow Xiaojue, Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan. But don't worry, they are very strict and won't speak out easily. Even if they do, they probably won't." Someone will believe it."

"It's the two of them!" The eldest young master nodded, "Don't worry, they have the same ideas as us, unlike Chenchen, who would sing against us and fight us every time something happened. .”

"Brother, what you said is as if he is not of one mind with us, and different from what we think. He just doesn't agree with our approach, but our ultimate goal is the same." Master Chu Ran laughed, He stood up and went to the chest of drawers against the east wall, rummaged and said, "I understand him very much, he just doesn't want the children to live so hard and bear so many burdens, and he hopes that all of them are done by us. Solve it, not leave it to the children. It's just..." He turned around and smiled wryly at the young master, "This is not something we can decide. It is destined that the children are the real protagonists, and we are only playing a supporting role. It just existed. If Chenchen could think of this, he wouldn't have suffered for so many years and lost his eldest sister's life."

"I hope he can understand these things after staying in the imperial mausoleum for so many years."

"I should have figured it out, otherwise Eagle King and Brother Tong would not agree to his return to Xijing."

Master Chu Ran found a small box from the drawer in the lower left corner of the chest of drawers, walked back to the young master, and put the box on the table.

"What is this?" The young master opened the box and saw a stack of papers inside, "This..."

"At the beginning, I kept it, but you were quite disgusted, saying that I kept the mess." Master Chu Ran nodded lightly, "The list of all suspects involved in Tianxingjiao, and the list of items. Send this to Tang Tong Go, give Xiao Jue the chance."

"There's nothing here that they shouldn't show them?"

"No." Master Chu Ran shook his head, "I will tell Brother Tong to go through it again before handing him over to Xiao Jue."

Master Chu Ran walked out of the study, found his confidant, and handed over the box to him, asking him to run to Xijing as quickly as possible, to meet the Prince Dai at the Prince Dai's mansion, and hand over the box to him.

"Tell the Prince Dai that everything is under control and there is no need to worry. Jin Guo's affairs should be resolved as soon as possible, and we don't have much time left."

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of his confidant leaving, Master Chu Ran sighed softly, and re-entered the study with a tired face.

"When will this kind of day be the best?" After closing the door of the study, he leaned weakly on the rattan chair, "Remember what the emperor, you, and cousin Tong said before, we have been living together since the moment we were born. From the beginning, I was doomed to spend my life in misery."

"What kind of memory!" The young master chuckled, "What we said at the time was that from the moment we were born, we were doomed to live a rough life, doomed to be full of all kinds of calculations. And being calculated." He waved his hand, "Don't talk about this anymore, but also talk about Tianxingjiao, I just calmed down and thought about it carefully. Back then, Tianxingjiao had many believers. If they arranged their own people to mix with ordinary believers , It is not impossible to escape our search. And their descendants may not really exist as we think."

"I don't deny that there will be omissions, but my instinct tells me that they are unlikely to make a comeback."

"why?"

"Lack of money, lack of goods, and lack of food." Master Chu Ran shrugged, "They have all been reduced to the point where they need to steal to maintain their daily lives. What energy do they have to make trouble?"
