Chapter 585 Where did you get rich?

After Eunuch He was assassinated

Inside the dungeon, Zhang Qing looked at the person bandaging his wound with sorrow and anxiety on his plain face, and said:
"That's my master, I can't kill him, you are the ones who protect him, you should know."

The man who bandaged the wound paused, raised his face, his eyes were bright with hatred, and said in a muffled voice:
"I used to know, but now that he is dead, I don't know."

Tears welled up in Zhang Qing's eyes, she lowered her body and looked at him, her voice was urgent:

"Gu Huang, it's really the master of that eunuch Li Wusha. How about this, you secretly release the news, say that I have run away, then let him go and follow him, and see who he goes to see and what he does. Didn’t the truth come to light? Just relying on your brother’s ability, it’s not a big deal at all.”

As he spoke, he tried to find Gu Huang's eyes, trying his best to express his meaning sincerely:
"Master is absolutely impossible to tolerate someone making a fuss about the safety of the front line. Li Wu saw the news in the bamboo tube, and he was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he became murderous. There must be big things happening later, so we can't delay! If you don't do something , everything is over..."

Gu Huang and Zhang Qing looked at each other for a while, finally lowered their eyes, and said sullenly:
"We are only responsible for protecting Eunuch He's safety. We will avenge him when he dies. We are not good at other things."

Zhang Qing said anxiously:
"Yeah, I want revenge. I'm the master's apprentice and I'm good at it. Don't you listen to me? You have a try. I'm in the prison anyway. I won't run away. If there is a problem with him, you can kill him directly. He If there is no problem, you can come back to me, he should have let go, isn't that the reason?"

Gu Huang was stunned, thought carefully and said, "I'll discuss it with my brother."

After that, he got up and walked out, and locked the door of the cell by the way.

Just like that, Zhang Qing looked at the light from the window above, gritted his teeth and shed tears and did not move.

He was very sad about Master's death, the safety of Xie Yuan and the others on the front line, the safety of Song State, and the gloomy future that he didn't know whether he would live or die in the future.

Not to mention, I was trapped in this cell, unable to do anything, I could only look at the light above my head and wait for time to pass.

That's it, it's getting dark...

Zhang Qing waited all night with his eyes open, and finally waited for someone to come when the sky was just turning green.

This time it was the other of the two brothers, named Gu Liang.

Gu Liang's expression was tense, and he asked Zhang Qing to come out without saying a word.

Zhang Qing looked at his black face a little bit, and couldn't help but feel a little drum in his heart. He looked at him for a moment, thinking: It shouldn't be. They checked him all night and found nothing, so they decided that he was the murderer. Come to kill him?

Shouldn't it be...

Seeing Zhang Qing's movements being so cautious, Gu Liang thought of what he should say, and pulled his arm out, then left.One side said:
"Li Wu has colluded with Xiao Changlu, and has obtained the imperial decree, and will come to take over the Supervision Department soon. I will send you away through the secret path."

When Zhang Qing heard about it, seeing Gu Liang's back in front of him, tears came down instantly, and he said hastily:
"You know that he killed Master, why didn't you kill him?!"

Gu Liang's footsteps paused, and he resumed his haste again. His voice was a little choked and he said:

"I wanted to kill, but I fell into a trap. I'm the only one who is back. Let's go."

……

The two secretly left the Supervision Department through the emergency passage prepared by Eunuch He earlier.It appeared in a small courtyard of a private house.

There were all the preparations, clothes and food for a change of clothes, and a woman was busy in the yard. When she saw them, her expression was surprised at first, but she calmed down quickly, and asked:
"Why didn't the father-in-law come?"

Gu Liang's expression was cold, as if he felt no pain, he said the tragic situation:
"Eunuch He passed away yesterday evening. It was the eunuch Li Wu's fault. My younger brother Gu Huang also died in their hands in the middle of the night. The Supervision Department will be taken over by Li Wu soon, and there must be a cleansing. He doesn't know your Existence, you inform others, and ask for more blessings."

After all, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing quickly grabbed him and asked:

"What are you doing?!"

Gu Liang's expression was still numb and cold, and he said:
"Of course I want to kill Li Wu to avenge my brother and Eunuch He."

Zhang Qing quickly said:

"It's not that time now. How can one person get revenge by fighting alone? Now, take advantage of the fact that the Supervisory Division has not yet been fully controlled, and pass on the conspiracy of Duke Ma to instruct his cronies to communicate with the State of Wei to encircle and kill the forces of the Shen clan to General Xie." I know! Also, look for Shen Guozhu, look for the city defense battalion, let them fight against the Xiao family!"

Gu Liang was still hesitating, but the woman opened her mouth first and said:
"I'll deliver the message, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, she took out a silver hairpin from her bosom and stuck it on her head, then picked up a bamboo basket from the corner of the yard and walked out without any mess.

Zhang Qing looked at her leaving back and asked, "Is she trustworthy?"

Gu Liang said with certainty: "It's believable... I'll go find Shen Guozhu with you, and I will protect you."

Zhang Qing and him looked at each other, and the two hurried back to the house to change their clothes, made a simple disguise, and went out.

But they rushed too fast, they were still one step too late, and watched Shen Guozhu ride his horse to the palace helplessly.

Zhang Qing hid behind the wall and watched this scene, pounding the wall angrily.

Gu Liang said:

"He should have known about Eunuch He's assassination. He should be able to respond."

"He knew that Master was assassinated, but he absolutely didn't know why he was assassinated. In the current situation, it's either you die or I live. You have to lead people to control Li Wu and the Xiao family."

"Find someone to bring the news into the palace, and stop Li Wu from taking over the Supervision Department first?" Gu Liang said.

Zhang Qing's eyes turned for a while, and he thought about everyone in his mind, and finally said angrily:
"Damn it, those threads in the palace are all supported by Li Wu, none of them can be used by me!"

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Let's go, go to the city defense camp first, they recognize me, I'll explain the situation, they can send the news to the palace, and they can do it with Shen Guozhu's order."

……

……

Outside the capital city, the city defense battalion station

Li Huanshi ordered people to set up a banquet in the camp, and ordered the officers and officers of the other two city defense battalions to come over for a drink.

After waiting for a long time, Chen Jiu and the others who were accompanying the camp did not come because they had military duties and could not leave their posts without authorization.Only Zhou Fang and Sun Tian came.

The two camps are close to each other, making it easy to come and go.What's more, in such a new place in Beijing, with just a few acquaintances like them, old friends invited them, so they naturally wanted to come.

As soon as Zhou Fang came in, he saw the table full of rich dishes, and joked:

"Hey... where did you get rich? You've been visiting so many brothels recently, and you haven't finished spending it yet? You still have money to buy wine?"
