Chapter 566 The Biggest Secret
"No!"

"No!"

Almost at the same time, two voices sounded at the same time.

Fang Zhiyao and Fang Zhihui vetoed at the same time, Jiang Pingping looked calm: "We have already thought about it." He said, "Two days later, Yang Yan will leave Gusu for Jinling. There are not many guards. Heizi and I have chosen a small path, which is suitable for ambush and attack. If there are no accidents, we should be able to kill Yang Yan."

"What if there is an accident?" Fang Zhiyao asked back. She looked at Jiang Pingping in front of her with a serious expression: "Not to mention whether you can kill Yang Yan, if there is something wrong with you, what should those people do?"

Jiang Pingping said: "Miss Jiang Si will take over what I do, she..." Jiang Pingping twitched the corners of his mouth when he said this, his smile was a bit bitter, "She will do better than me!"

20 years of time have worn away his energy, blood, and confidence... He carried everyone's expectations on his back, walked with a heavy load, staggered, and could not see the end. Such days have been too long, and his body and mind Already very tired.

"Heizi and I have already decided on this matter." Jiang Pingping raised his eyes, his eyes were full of tiredness, "I have been entrusted by those soldiers who died in the past 20 years, but I can do this matter. it is good."

Fang Zhiyao looked at Jiang Pingping and took another step back, bowed to her, and said softly, "Thank you, Miss Fang!"

"Thank you Miss Fang!" Fang Zhiyao couldn't help being in a daze for a moment, as if she had returned to the time when she first met them 20 years ago.

At that time, they crawled out of "Purgatory", covered in embarrassment and embarrassment, with unwillingness, humiliation, and anger in their eyes, but there was still light in them, and they firmly believed that one day the truth would be revealed.

But Jiang Pingping right now... Even though he was wearing night clothes, his clothes were still clean and tidy, his hair was combed meticulously, without any embarrassment or embarrassment, but his eyes were dim, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes and his gray hair made him look like a Extremely tired.

Twenty years of time have worn away all the spirit, and the fatal blow of the aloof emperor made him grow old suddenly.

"Thank you Miss Fang!" After saying that, Jiang Pingping turned and left.

The moment he walked out of the Fang family mansion, Jiang Pingping breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

What he is going to do on this trip is an extremely dangerous thing that is very likely to kill him.But at this time, his state of mind was calm and relaxed that he had never felt in 20 years.

It is not an easy task to spend 20 years doing something that you are not good at but have to do.

……

……

The night gradually faded, and the moment the sun crossed the horizon, Jiang Pingping and several teahouse buddies appeared beside the gate of Baoling City, waiting for the gate to open.

"Mr. Jiang, isn't the teahouse open today?" Regular customers of the teahouse who came out for breakfast greeted them with a smile.

Jiang Pingping shook his head, smiled at his regular customers and said, "I have something to do today, I'm going to visit relatives outside."

Visiting relatives!That can't be stopped.The regular customer sighed with regret, "Then I can't hear storytelling today. I thought I would go over to join in after dinner!"

But the sigh was finished, and the regular customer immediately said: "It will be the same in the future. When Mr. Jiang comes back, I will come to the teahouse to reserve the tea."

Jiang Pingping nodded and said, "Okay!"

The acquaintance waved his hand at him, pointed to the open city gate, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, go early and come back early!"

Jiang Pingping waved to him and said "yes" again in a warm voice.

With such an elegant and easy-going appearance, he really looks like a good-tempered, gentle and harmless person.The regular customer shook his head thinking this way: No wonder Mr. Jiang is so popular!

Not only women of similar age living alone, but also unmarried girls all fall in love with Mr. Jiang!

A group of people left the city quietly, took the official road outside the city, and headed towards Gusu.

……

……

Gusu, government office.

"My lord, there's a letter from Chang'an!" the guard ran in holding the pigeon and said.

The yamen is orderly, not as powerful as the previous county magistrate who is incompetent and sycophant, and also not as good as Wu Youcai, the newly appointed Master Zhuang is indeed an extremely powerful person.

He is not afraid of power, and Yang Yan dared to confront him the first day he came back. After the yamen was rectified, those who were capable came to power, and those who flirted with others were all kicked out.

After some achievements, the people in the entire Gusu city praised it.

If there is anything embarrassing Mr. Zhuang up to now, it is only the fact that he has been following the officers and soldiers transferred by Yang Yan to sweep up the strongholds of the stronghold these days.

Zhuang Haoran, who was looking through the file, stopped his hands when he heard the voice, and reached out to the guard, "Bring it!"

The guard responded, and quickly handed over the pigeon he was carrying, but he couldn't help but glance at the pigeon's feet, and said, "It seems that the pigeon was not sent by Mr. Wang. The rings on the pigeon's feet are different from this one. Much the same."

Zhuang Haoran let out a "hmm", raised his eyelids and glanced at the guard: "You observe very carefully."

The officer blushed immediately when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is ridiculous."

Zhuang Haoran smiled, and said lightly: "It's a good observation, it's definitely not Mr. Wang's pigeon." After saying that, he took the pigeon from the officer's hand, and waved the officer to leave.

He took off the message box tied to the pigeon's legs and feet, and casually sprinkled a handful of rice on the corner of the table for the pigeons to eat. Zhuang Haoran opened the message box and pulled out the note inside.

After scanning ten lines at a glance, Zhuang Haoran took the note, got up and called someone: "Get ready, I'm going out of the city!"

……

……

In the temporary travel shop on the side of the road from Suzhou to Jinling, several teahouse waiters dressed as travel shop assistants were sharpening their knives.

Although Jiang Pingping on the side was also dressed in a coarse cloth robe and all his hair was wrapped up, but the unconcealable elegant temperament still rushed to his face.

No matter how you look at it, this really doesn't look like a sophomore who is used to rough work.

It's not that Jiang Pingping doesn't know that he doesn't look like a waiter, and he is not ready to go out to entertain guests. He just stands alone at the entrance of the kitchen, watching some waiters in the teahouse sharpen their knives.

"I haven't seen blood with this knife for a long time." Er Heizi, who was sharpening the knife, picked up the knife, flicked the edge of the front with his fingers, and said with emotion, "I haven't killed anyone since Baidi came out. gone."

They are soldiers in the army, if they kill people casually, what is the difference between them and bandits?
"Yang Yan has countless lives on his hands." Heizi paused for a moment as he sharpened his knife, and continued to sharpen it again, "So, this time it's not just killing people casually!"

Jiang Pingping looked at Heizi who was sharpening the knife, and gave a faint "yes": "The lives of the uncles of the Zhao family alone are enough for Yang Yan to pay for his life."

Although the past 20 years have worn down their morale, there are some things that they insist on in their bones, such as not killing innocent people indiscriminately.

There was a galloping sound of horseshoes "dede" coming from a distance, the closer they got, the louder the sound of the horseshoes, and when they reached the door of the pedestrian shop, they stopped suddenly.

The expressions of the people who were sharpening their knives suddenly changed.

"Hold the knife!" Jiang Pingping gave an order, and after a hasty but orderly movement of withdrawing the knife, someone walked in from the door.

The person who came was an official, wearing the official robe and hat of the county magistrate, and the few servants he brought stayed outside the door and did not follow him in.

"Guest officer," Heizi smiled and brought up a pot of tea and asked, "What do you want?"

"Don't want anything." The man glanced over, his eyes were extremely sharp, "I'll tell you to stop!"

What?The air in the small pedestrian shop seemed to suddenly cool down, and a few guys standing by the side reached out to touch the shelves behind them.

The face of Heizi who was holding the tea changed slightly, but before he could speak, the man said: "A certain Zhuang Haoran, the one who told you the news about Yang Yan leaving the city is this official!"

Heizi's slightly changed face froze for a moment, and he heaved a sigh of relief, turning his head and glanced at the kitchen door.

Jiang Pingping came out of the kitchen, looked at Zhuang Haoran who suddenly appeared in front of him, frowned, and asked, "Has the plan changed? Yang Yan is leaving the city?"

"No, he still leaves the city." Zhuang Haoran didn't hide his intentions from him, and said frankly, "But please stop for now and don't touch Yang Yan!"

Jiang Pingping's expression remained unchanged, looking at Zhuang Haoran in front of him, he asked, "Why?"

The cooperation between him and Zhuang Haoran was first initiated by Zhuang Haoran.Both parties showed great sincerity, and put all their thoughts and requests on the bright side.

It goes without saying that Jiang Pingping and the others are asking for more, but Zhuang Haoran, he is not a person who likes to be threatened and shackled.Especially what he did under Yang Yan's threats and shackles these days, he has had enough!
It turned out that Yang Yan didn't do anything because firstly, there was no one at hand, and secondly, he was not sure whether Yang Yan would reveal his secrets.

Jiang Pingping has never been a person who sits and waits for death. These days, he is constrained by Yang Yan helping him with things, and on the other hand, he is also secretly testing Yang Yan, and sometimes even deliberately procrastinating to test his bottom line.

After these days of probing and delaying, he realized that Yang Yan didn't pay attention to him at all. Even if it was a delay, Yang Yan didn't care at all.On the contrary, it is more like using his hand and name to do things for himself in secret.

Of course, the result of the temptation may not be all right, if he really loses, Zhuang Haoran has nothing to say.

After making up his mind, he began to think of ways to find someone to deal with Yang Yan. It was at this time that Jiang Pingping and his party from the old Baidi Department came into his sight.

The two sides hit it off, Zhuang Haoran gave the opportunity to assassinate Yang Yan, Jiang Pingping and others came out.

It was a good plan that was originally discussed, but one of them suddenly changed his mind at this time.

why?
"Did Wang San ask Mr. Zhuang to stop?" Jiang Pingping asked, thinking of Wang San, he was not surprised. "He is tactful and doesn't rely on each other. It's not surprising that you want to withdraw."

Zhuang Haoran is an official of Wang San's faction, Wang San has a request, Zhuang Haoran naturally had to obey.

"If that's the case, Mr. Zhuang can stop by himself, but Mr. Zhuang can't worry about our affairs." Jiang Ping said flatly.

The implication is that they are not prepared to stop, and they will not stop, business as usual.

"It's not Mr. Wang," Zhuang Haoran shook his head with a delicate expression, "Zhuang knows what he is doing, even Mr. Wang, he would not completely obey what Mr. Wang says."

From the fact that he was threatened by Yang Yan earlier, we can see what kind of person Wang San is. He is Yang Yan's pawn, so is he not a pawn for Wang San?

This point, Zhuang Haoran is not surprising, after all, Wang San has never concealed this point.

"It's the request of Miss Jiang Si and the eldest son of the same season." Zhuang Haoran said, since Wang San first used him as a pathfinder, he will not put all his wealth on Wang San.

Compared with Wang San, these two are obviously more to his appetite.

"They say that Yang Yan can't die now."

Why?Jiang Pingping was stunned, Zhuang Haoran's words, whether it was the previous sentence or the latter sentence, shocked him.

Why can't Miss Jiang Si and the eldest son of the same season, Yang Yan, die now?

……

……

Just looking at the drawing paper with complex lines that look like ghostly symbols makes people dizzy.

Lin Yan stretched out his hand to support the forehead, passed the crutch in his hand, and couldn't help but said: "I just found out the imprint and totem on the crutch, and you are going to pass..."

There was an unavoidable grievance in his tone, when the search for clues was going smoothly and smoothly, someone suddenly jumped out, forcibly interrupted him, and took back the cane he used to clear the way.

"I'll return it to you when I get the things inside, and you continue to check." Jiang Shaoyan took the crutches, touched the complicated dark lines on the crutches with her fingers, started from the beginning, and slid all the way down, pausing occasionally He tapped lightly, sometimes going back and forth and then swipe down again.

Lin Yan's gaze could keep up with the girl's movements at first, but in the end his eyes couldn't keep up with the movements at all.

Following the girl's "OK", there was a click, and the sound of the mechanism opening and closing sounded. The girl lifted the crutches up, and a scroll fell out of the crutches.

The scroll is bright yellow, and the auspicious cloud and dragon pattern on the outside already shows its identity.

This is a decree.

Jiang Shaoyan threw the crutch back into Lin Yan's hand.

Ji Chongyan squatted down and picked up the imperial decree, but did not open it immediately, but paused, and handed it to Jiang Shaoyan, with a thoughtful expression: "The imperial decree is here, I can probably guess what is written in the imperial decree. "

Jiang Shaoyan took the imperial decree, looked at Ji Chongyan, and said, "I must have guessed what's in it."

During the conversation, the two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Lin Yan who got the crutches: "..." I don't know why the teeth are suddenly sore... Where is Asu?Oh, his Asu went to the front yard to look at her tavern, he was not here, and no one looked at him.

While speaking, the girl had already opened the imperial decree, and after the two of them looked down for a while, they said "Sure enough" without any surprise.

really?

"So what?" Lin Yan asked.

The girl didn't talk nonsense, she readily stuffed the imperial decree into his hands, and said, "Look for yourself!"

Yang Yan's biggest secret lies in this imperial decree.

Lin Yan took the imperial decree suspiciously, glanced at it, and was so shocked that he almost didn't bite his tongue

"Yang Yan is the orphan of the former royal family?"
