Chapter 565 Lin Yun asks for help, evidence of treason

Qi Changyun was so excited that he punched his palm and said: "That's great! Lin Zhongtang, you didn't get this news in time! By the way, does Lin Zhongtang have anything else? If you need anything, just tell me Say, I will definitely help!”

The situation is now quite clear. Thanks to the lessons learned from Fulin'an, Qi Changyun is not afraid that something will happen to his family. Moreover, even if he arranges something for his son next, it will be reasonable.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "I would like to ask Mr. Qi to arrange an elite team to go to Haocheng, Fengyang County to meet one of my subordinates!"

Qi Changyun was shocked and said with a wry smile: "Lin Zhongtang himself is the Minister of War. He can mobilize manpower with just an oral order, so why let me take action?"

"I have just taken over the Ministry of War, and many people don't understand it yet. I don't want to alert the enemy! And I don't want Fulin'an to be prepared! So, I can only ask Mr. Qi for help!"

At this moment, I felt restricted in everything, and it was inconvenient to do anything I wanted to do. I now had all the power, but no one in my hands to use it.

Qi Changyun nodded, stood up and came to the study door and shouted: "Here comes someone!"

A soldier wearing light armor came over, clasped his fists and said, "What are your orders, sir?"

"Go, inform Rui'er and let him personally lead a team of people to secretly go to Haocheng in Fengyang County to pick up a man named Zheng Li! Remember, let Rui'er act carefully. No matter what, this man must be brought safely. return!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

The soldier turned around and left.

Qi Changyun said with a smile: "Lin Zhongtang, can you rest assured now?"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you very much. Lin Yun will definitely remember the Qi family's kindness!"

Now that things have happened, Lin Yun has completely understood the general environment of the capital.

The Eight Wise Kings, the Fifth Prince, and Meng Yuan were all just colleagues in the officialdom, not friends at all.

Even if they didn't add insult to injury at the critical moment, Lin Yun didn't dare to expect them to help.

Only the Qi family can be regarded as Lin Yun's true allies.

If Qi Changyun didn't help, Lin Yun would really be alone.

My power is far away in Fengyang County, and I can't reach here at all. Even if I do something, I can't get in touch in time.

This also made Lin Yun deeply aware of the importance of cultivating his confidants.

"Haha! Lin Zhongtang, you're welcome! We are not outsiders! I actually understand your feelings very well! But being an official in the capital, this is the reality! Everyone has their own little calculations, and there are no real friends at all!"

Lin Yun said playfully: "What about Mr. Qi? Is he considered a friend of mine?"

Qi Changyun was stunned at first, then said with a smile: "Of course! Although Lin Zhongtang's behavior is a bit extreme, he is also a kind-hearted person. I understand that as long as he shows his sincerity, Lin Zhongtang will not let my Qi family down!"

Lin Yun then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! I remember Master Qi's words!"

Afterwards, the two of them chatted for a while behind closed doors about the current situation in the imperial court, and their relationship developed rapidly.

At the same time, Haocheng, Fengyang County.

Following Lin Yun's instructions, Zheng Li quietly entered the city and rummaged around the abandoned Baicaotang. He finally found Fulin'an's autographed letter under the wooden bed of a thatched house in the backyard. He opened the envelope carefully. The letter inside was already yellowed, the edges were burnt black, and was badly damaged.

But fortunately, the rough handwriting on the letter is still there, and Fu Lin'an's autograph is on the signature.

Zheng Li stared at the content of the letter and murmured to himself: "So that's it! No wonder the Fourteenth Master is eager to get this letter. It turns out to be evidence that Fulin'an is plotting a rebellion!"

It turned out that Fulin'an wanted to take advantage of the fact that the emperor had just ascended the throne and had not yet stabilized his control over the capital, and secretly arranged for the elites of the Panda tribe to assassinate the emperor. Once the emperor was killed, Fulinan would be able to wear a yellow robe and directly proclaim himself emperor.

Moreover, Fulin'an was the Minister of War at the time and controlled the three major Shenji camps outside the capital, with a hundred thousand soldiers. As long as he could kill the emperor, the Li family's empire would also fall into his hands.

As for the 200,000 green camp troops controlled by the fifth prince, they were still far away in other counties and had no time to react. Moreover, the fifth prince failed to seize the rightful son and had long been under house arrest by the emperor, so he had no chance to take action.

But at this moment, there were slight footsteps outside the door. Zheng Li was very alert. He immediately put the secret letter in his arms, took out the revolver Lin Yun had given him, and pointed it at the door.

"Who is it? Get out!"

After waiting for a few breaths, Ma Ji walked in wearing an official robe and holding his hands high.

Zheng Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly: "Master Ma, you...why are you here?"

He entered the city secretly and met no acquaintances along the way. As the governor of Haocheng, it was even more impossible for Ma Ji to know his whereabouts.

Ma Ji smiled mysteriously: "Of course I don't know Commander Zheng's whereabouts! However, just last night, my spies stationed near Haocheng reported that a group of killers with Beijing accents were coming here. , I was also afraid of any accidents, so I specially sent people to keep an eye on Haocheng, but I didn’t expect that the person waiting for me was Commander Zheng! Haha!”

Zheng Li suddenly realized it, but as if he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "No! The Fourteenth Master only arranged for me to come back to do things. It is impossible to arrange for others! Could it be..."

Although Ma Ji didn't know what errands Lin Yun secretly arranged for Zheng Li to do, he also knew that his opportunity to make a contribution had arrived again, and said: "Commander Zheng, don't worry! As long as you enter Haocheng, you will be safe! Let's go, Let’s go back to my house and talk in detail! I believe that the spies sent out by me will soon find out where the other party came from!”

Zheng Li could only nod in agreement. Naturally, he didn't want anything to happen halfway. Although he failed to keep the secret secret, fortunately, Ma Ji was not an outsider.

Soon, the two returned to the house. As soon as Zheng Li walked into the living room, he saw a table of delicacies.

It was obviously prepared by Ma Ji in advance.

"Master Ma, what do you mean?"

Ma Ji smiled and put his arms around his shoulders and said: "Commander Zheng, don't worry too much. You and I are Lin Zhongtang's confidants. Although we are far apart, we are both loyal, so it doesn't matter if I treat you to a drink." ?”

Zheng Li knew what Ma Ji meant, so he sat directly on the chair and said, "It's okay to eat! But forget about drinking! The Fourteenth Master's mission has not been completed yet, and I really don't dare to drink!"

"Okay, okay! If you don't want to drink, let's have tea instead of a bar!"

Zheng Li couldn't resist and could only nod in agreement.

He had just taken two bites of food when Ma Ji asked tentatively: "Commander Zheng, how is Lin Zhongtang doing in Beijing recently?"

Zheng Li said playfully: "It's not bad! The Fourteenth Master is living a good life, but he is no longer as comfortable as when he was in Fengyang County! He has to go to court all day long, and he leaves early and comes back late!"
