Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 211 Snooping
Zhang Mingzhi frowned and nodded, "Guo Su, the prefect of Jinyang, doesn't know what is good or bad, and dares to break ground on Taisui! He seized the land of Uncle Guo's family and injured Uncle Guo's nephew."

Huang Shuaiyin opened his mouth slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't ask the question.With Uncle Guo's current status, Jinyang is still under the control of the Yu family, how can someone be so indifferent and dare to make trouble with the Yu family?
"Then Guo Su is the man of King Qi. He must have been ordered by King Qi to do this. Uncle Guo is loyal to the Holy One. Since King Qi came back, he has been against Uncle Guo and against Uncle Guo everywhere! It is clear that he wants to take away the power from the Holy Master while he is young!" Zhang Mingzhi looked seriously at Huang Shuaiyin's expression, "Such a treacherous person cannot be tolerated."

"Brother, we cultivators don't understand the court affairs." Huang Shuaiyin shook his head.

Zhang Mingzhi nodded, "I tell you this so that you don't have to feel burdened or guilty."

"Huh?" Huang Shuaiyin frowned puzzled.

"Uncle Guo means that since Guo Su is so ignorant, there is no need to stay." Zhang Mingzhi said slowly.

"Punish the imperial court official?" Huang Shuaiyin asked in astonishment.

"Junior brother dare not?" Zhang Mingzhi's tone changed slightly.

"It has nothing to do with daring, brother, to act like this..."

Before Huang Shuaiyin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Mingzhi, "On the court, there are wrists on the court. If you don't understand, I won't explain it to you in detail. Since we are the servants of the uncle of the country, we will serve the country. Uncle's responsibility is to share his worries. Don't worry, if you kill Guo Su, Uncle Guo will naturally have arrangements, and will cover up this matter so that no one will suspect you."

"I'm not……"

"Okay," Zhang Mingzhi said in a slightly displeased tone, "Now, don't you even listen to what your senior brother has to say?"

Huang Shuaiyin frowned and didn't speak again.

Only then did Zhang Mingzhi nodded in satisfaction, "So, you should go and prepare to leave tonight. Before King Qi is ready, finish this matter. When you come back, Uncle Guo will definitely reward you."

"Tonight?" Huang Shuaiyin was surprised, "In such a hurry?"

"Naturally, it's convenient to catch him off guard." Zhang Mingzhi looked at him, "Why, don't you have other things to do tonight?"

Huang Shuaiyin lowered his eyes. Lu Beiyue met him tonight. Although he was reminded by his senior brother, he knew that Lu Bei could not believe it. Now the relationship between them is not as harmonious as before, but Lu Bei said that it was about him. and bring someone to let him meet.It was impossible for him not to be curious.

"If there is something to do...Uncle Guo's order, senior brother can only go there himself!" Zhang Mingzhi sighed, "It's just that you also know that the last time senior brother left with you for a few days, Lu Bei came While I was away, I won the partial trust of Uncle Guo. If I leave for a while, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid how?He didn't say anything, needless to say, Huang Shuaiyin also understood.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I'll go." Huang Shuaiyin cupped his hands, "Senior brother, don't worry."

Zhang Mingzhi nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother did not believe you wrong!"

Huang Shuaiyin's mouth was bitter, but he nodded with a smile.He owes his senior brother a life, if his senior brother didn't save him back then, where would he be today? The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, let alone the kindness of saving a life?
"So, then pack up and leave!" Zhang Mingzhi smiled and left with his hands behind his back.

No matter what method Lu Bei tried to drive a wedge between the two of them, Zhang Mingzhi would not let him succeed!His junior brother is too soft-hearted, so he should practice more.When the younger brother is away, he will pull out his hand again and deal with Lu Bei's gang well.

Lu Bei had already booked a private room in Dongshi Restaurant, and secretly sent a message to Master Ziyang, and took his rot-reducing and muscle-regenerating ointment, and the promise he had made should be fulfilled.

But he waited at the mansion for Huang Shuaiyin to come to him, waiting left and right, but no one came to the door.

When he was about to leave in the morning, he clearly felt that his last words had already moved his heart. Hearing that his breathing rate changed slightly, didn't it mean that he was hooked?Was it expected that he would come back?

Lu Bei couldn't wait, so he went to inquire in person and found out that Huang Shuaiyin was actually assigned and had other important tasks.

Lu Bei was about to leave Huang Shuaiyin's place when he met Zhang Mingzhi who was walking slowly.

"What a coincidence, Daoist Zhang!" Lu Bei cupped his hands.

"Unfortunately, I've been waiting for Brother Lu for a long time!" Zhang Mingzhi smiled.

Lu Bei's heart skipped a beat, but there was a smile on his face, "Oh? What's Daoist Zhang looking for?"

"No one else, I just want to ask for advice, Brother Lu, what is the purpose of looking for my straightforward junior brother?" Zhang Mingzhi took a step closer with a half-smile.

Lu Bei's body was slightly stiff, but he smiled for a while and said, "Oh, Daoist Zhang is probably overthinking. I'm not here to look for Fellow Daoist Huang, but I'm just passing through here for nothing. If Daoist Zhang is not busy, let's study and adjust breath together?"

Zhang Mingzhi snorted and laughed, "No, brother Lu first!"

Lu Bei cupped his hands and left, Zhang Mingzhi's eyes fell on his back until he was too far away to see.

Sure enough, Shen Xinniang arrived in Jinyang in only three days.

There is spiritual spring water in it to cleanse her body and mind. Although she had to eat and sleep in the open air for three days, and hurried on the road, she did not show any tired look on her face.

She was dressed in men's clothing and went deep into Jinyang City. She was not in a hurry to find the eunuch, but sat down in a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, ordered two refreshments, sipped the fragrance of the tea and ate the refreshments leisurely.In fact, his ears had already been pricked up, quietly listening to the discussions around him.

After a while, I heard someone talking about earning land.

"The current prefect is really doing things for the people. He is not afraid of offending the Yu family. He took back the fertile land that the Yu family had occupied for many years! Distribute it to the people! A rare and good official!"

"What a good official, he's just a fool!" The people beside him snorted in a low voice.

"How do you say that? Why do you become a fool when you do things for the people? If you say that about the prefect, you will not be beaten to the ground by the people when you go outside, and my name will be read backwards!" said the prefect Zan in disapproval.

"I'm not saying that he's not a good official, but is the Yu family someone who can be offended by a little prefect like him? Today's empress dowager, the uncle of the country, and the general of the Northwest, which one is not surnamed Yu? Isn't that from the Jin Dynasty? Yangyu clan? He is called "蚍乱打大树! Overreaching!" the man said in a low voice.

"The imperial court needs this kind of people who are not powerful. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the common people who suffer?"

"Huh, pedantic! Do you dare to bet with me? This prefect's unique skill will not last this month!" said the person who had been laughing at the prefect's overreaching, "If the Yu family can hold back this breath, it will really be the sun coming out from the west Already!"

"You, what you said..."

"My words are not false at all! Don't look at the court's support for the prefect. He took back the Yu family's land with ease. Why did he put it away and return it!" The man snorted, "Go ahead! There is an imperial court supporting the prefect, that is, the King of Qi wants to fight with Uncle Yu, but Jinyang is the place where Uncle Yu belongs, once the prefect dies, he will be replaced by Uncle Yu immediately. go back?"

The person who spoke earlier was rendered speechless by his words, and he didn't even dare to bet.

Shen Xinniang threw down the tea money, got up abruptly, and walked out of the teahouse.

Changed the place and ordered another pot of tea.This time, even the storyteller talked about the prefect doing things for the people.He just said a few words, and immediately a waiter with a teapot came forward and whispered something in the storyteller's ear.

The storyteller cleared his throat, took a sip of his tea, and interrupted the conversation, diverting the topic elsewhere.

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes, she didn't listen to these gossips for nothing, and she couldn't just believe one side of the story, she had to know first whether this Guo Taishou was as upright as Fang Yan said, and he was really doing it for the people Do good things.

The bottom of the population can hear the truth the most.Gossip may seem trivial, but it is a good source of truth.

She had to be convinced that Guo Taishou was really someone worth saving before she could take any action.

It was almost evening when Shen Xinniang arrived in Jinyang, she walked several places, drank a lot of tea, and ate a lot of food, the sky was getting dark, and many doors and windows were lit with lamps.

Only then did she walk towards the prefect's mansion.

Fang Yan said that Jinyang's Tongpan is Yu Tai's person, and she cannot let Tongpan know that she came to deliver the letter.

So even though she had Fang Yan's token, she still chose to sneak into the prefect's mansion at night.

The night is getting thicker, and the night wind has brought a slight coolness.

Shen Xinniang lifted her spirits and turned over to the yard, then jumped and landed on a tall locust tree.

The night watchman walked slowly under her feet, and she stood on the branch without making a sound.Unfamiliar with the place, the huge mansion, where is the eunuch at this time?

Shen Xinniang turned over and jumped from this branch to a higher treetop, and took a general look at the courtyard layout of the mansion. Generally, the layout of the courtyard pays more attention to Fengshui.

It's just that many places are not bright at night, which affects judgment in the dark.

Seeing the night watchman walking away, she turned over and jumped from the tree to the nearby roof ridge, paused for a moment, and then walked towards the bright place.The movement is light, like a cat stepping on a thick pad.It fell on the tiles, and there was no movement at all.

They approached one courtyard after another silently.

Some of them can tell if the prefect is there with just a quick glance, while others can only be determined by looking closely.

When approaching, it is extremely easy to be spotted, even though she is strong and agile, she is also extremely dangerous.

When she was listening on the ridge of a roof, suddenly the wind blew by, and the slender branches just swept over the tiles at the corner of the eaves.

Although it wasn't the tile she dropped, but if it alarmed others, she would have to return without success tonight before seeing the eunuch!
Fortunately, she moved very fast. During the falling process of the tile, Pianruo Jinghong flew to catch the tile, tapped her toes on the plum blossom branches planted under the eaves in front of the door, turned over again, and jumped onto the ridge of the roof.
