As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

The truth is this, it’s really impossible not to eat, but you can’t run around all day for food, right?

But having said that, isn't a creature like a beggar just running around all day for food?

Huang Zichao fell into confusion, not knowing what to do.

"My lord, if you can't even be a beggar, how can we inquire about news as a beggar?" The young soldier said again: "Our mission is to inquire about as much information as possible, so we always stay here in the Chenghuang Temple. It's not a problem, so why not..."

"It's better to go to the place outside the city where Zhou Yuanwai gives porridge, because there are many people there, right?" Huang Zichao was discouraged.

The truth is that the truth is true, but let this fool say it, why do you always feel that he is just for stuttering?

In order to have enough food, this guy can actually use his seemingly brand-new brain, how difficult it is!

But after much deliberation, there was still no way out, so Huang Zichao could only say: "Let's go, eat first, and honestly go to work with me after eating!"

"Hey!"

……

When Huang Zichao was struggling below the food and clothing line, members of Song Jie's team appeared near King Yiduan's palace.

"Boss, how do we get in?" The young soldier dressed as a scholar narrowed his eyes and looked at the gate of the palace.

Song Jie at the side had a solemn expression, and said after a while, "Did you find anything wrong?"

"No, isn't this the Yiduan Palace?"

"The palace is right..." Song Jie said slowly: "But I always feel that there is something abnormal. You see, the people who come and go from the palace seem to be okay?"

The young soldier asked, "Is there any problem?"

"Yes." Song Jie took the young man to a distance, and said as he walked: "From the observation situation, this Lanzhou mansion has already been infiltrated by King Yiduan, and all the people are his people. It stands to reason You said this is his base camp, right? But we have been here for two days, and we still haven’t found anything out of the ordinary in Lanzhou Mansion. Even the Yiduan Palace is very peaceful, which is so strange.”

"What did King Yiduan not say to the people below?"

"That's not right." Song Jie pondered: "No matter who it is, it will definitely be a little nervous when doing such things as rebellion, and the so-called acting from top to bottom, the people above will have emotions and the people below will definitely react. If Uncle Xishan Shi was unhappy, no one would dare to show a smile wherever he went, for fear of making Uncle even more unhappy, right?"

"That's true, so you think there is something wrong with the palace?"

"Yeah." Song Jie's face became more and more solemn: "King Yiduan escaped from the capital, after the Xuanwuwei was besieged and killed, no matter how naive he was, it was impossible for him to think that the court would be indifferent to his actions , so before the trip, the uncle deduced that King Yiduan would either plan a rebellion intensively, or erase all traces of the rebellion, leaving the court nowhere to start, so the purpose of the old uncle and us coming here is the most important The only thing is to force King Yiduan to rebel and deal with him on the bright side."

"But no matter what the situation is, he will have some unusual behaviors. Even if he doesn't want to rebel, he will send people out to hide the traces everywhere. But you see, there is no tension at all in this Yiduan palace. It doesn't work."

The young soldier reasoned along this line of thinking for a long time, and finally hesitated: "Head... Could it be that you are thinking too much?"

"Absolutely not." Song Jie said: "I heard from my uncle that King Yiduan is cunning and cunning. Think in the possible direction, so that it is possible to meet his ideas."

"Then... Boss, do you understand?"

"No." Song Jie pursed his lips and sighed, "You treat me as an uncle, there is no way out, no one can beat him."

"Then what do we do?"

"Keep an eye on Prince Yiduan's mansion, sneak in if you can, and send the news here to the capital as soon as possible for the uncle to decide. If there is nothing to do, ask someone who puts a sack in the mansion to ask about the situation in the mansion. "Song Jie looked back, and sighed again: "It's rare that Uncle has high hopes for me this time, but I can only use such a rough method, and even tried to get rid of Huang Zhenfu..."

"Speaking of Huang Zhenfu..." The young soldier couldn't bear it: "If you trick him into being a beggar, aren't you afraid that he will settle accounts with you in the future?"

Song Jie coughed dryly: "So this is what we have to do next. We have to go to Huang Zhenfu and talk to him."

"Don't let him be a beggar?"

Song Jie chuckled: "Of course not, his side is considered a move, although it may be a casual move, but how can you give up halfway?"

"Then why are you looking for him? To be scolded?"

"No, let's go buy some roasted chicken and send it to him. He will think about it later, and he won't be too harsh on me for the sake of roasted chicken, right?" Song Jie smiled very sinisterly: "And we have to stabilize Huang Zhenfu's mood. If his casual move happens to work and someone notices him at the moment, he will be in trouble if he reveals his secrets."

"Why do I feel that you still want to lie to him? You..."

"Stop talking nonsense, go buy chicken!"

539 A Fake Uncle Has a Real Friend

When Song Jie was planning outside the palace, King Yiduan was also planning inside the palace.

"Variables, what annoys me the most is variables."

King Yiduan played chess with himself in the room, babbling and cursing as he played, as if there was someone sitting opposite him. No one in the palace knew about his plan at all, so of course there was nothing unusual inside or outside the palace.

That is to say, Song Jie used common sense to speculate on a guy who seemed to be crazy, but some errors naturally occurred in the result.

Picking up a chess piece, King Yiduan didn't put it on the board for a long time, and chattered for a while when he was about to place the piece, the butler came in.

"My lord, there's news from over there that the restructuring can't be delayed any longer."

After hearing this, King Yiduan directly scattered a chess piece on the chessboard: "Another variable! This king hates variables the most!"

The butler didn't answer, just bowed his head in silence.

King Yiduan stood up irritably, walked around the hall several times with his hands behind his back, and then asked, "What's the news from the capital?"

The steward then said in a calm manner: "Returning to the lord, it is said that Xuanwu Wei has received news that the White Lotus Sect will raise trouble in Lanzhou Prefecture, so Huai'an Bohua Boyuan, the governor of Nanzhen Fusi, came here to investigate."

"White Lotus Sect?" King Yiduan sneered, "Good reason!"

After laughing for a long time, King Yiduan sighed again: "This is to force this king to do something! But with so many variables nowadays, it is really hard to predict the outcome of this king's action now. It seems that this king's good brother is a foregone conclusion. The king must not be able to beat him, so he acted like this."

"In the past, how could this king have a [-]% chance of winning, but now... where did Huamanlou come from?"

That's right, after all the calculations, King Yiduan never expected that Huamanlou could bring such a big change to the court, and this matter has become the biggest variable-so far, some people still don't take firearms seriously, but King Yiduan wasn't really stupid, he didn't dare to underestimate Huamanlou's Xishanwei and Shenjiying who had been led by Xishanwei for more than a year.

Moreover, the Tianjin navy already proved the power of firearms as early as last year, so how could King Yiduan ignore such important news?

In addition to this, the imperial court's military system reform also disrupted his deployment and plans. Otherwise, how could King Yiduan have followed the strategy of Jing Ke and leaving?

Therefore, after Huamanlou personally destroyed the assassination plan that King Yiduan had planned for a long time, King Yiduan was almost paralyzed. Most of the spies were also ordered to collect all the information on Huamanlou.

It can be said that the person who misses Huamanlou the most in the whole world is not his father or his family's young daughters-in-law, but King Yiduan, so...

"Is there any news from the group of idiots that the capital investigated Huamanlou?"

King Yiduan could ask this question eight times a day.

The butler shook his head and said, "No. But my lord, I happened to hear yesterday that there was a hundred households in Ningbo who resigned from the military and came to Lanzhou to look for relatives after being reformed. He fought Japanese pirates with Huamanlou, so ..."

"Come to him!" King Yiduan ordered without listening to the steward's words: "Go and invite him personally, go and cheat, no matter what method you use, come to him, and ask him everything he knows!"

"Yes."

"Also..." After pondering for a while, King Yiduan gritted his teeth and said, "Hua Boyuan must not dare to enter the city when he comes to Lanzhou. This king wants you to find a way, either to trick him into the city and capture him, or to capture him on the road." Set up an ambush to intercept and capture him alive, in short, this person must be captured!"

The butler was stunned when he heard this: "My lord, Uncle Huai'an is here as an imperial envoy. If we take him down, we will have no way out!"

King Yiduan sneered: "Is there a way out now?"

"This……"

"Hua Manlou is too evil. If he doesn't want to find a way to tie his hands and feet, the variables will become bigger and bigger, and the chances of my king's victory will become more and more slim. But if his father is taken down, this king will not believe it." He still dares to fight against this king!" Yiduan Wang said with a ferocious face, "This king has said it, this king is going to order him!"

After the housekeeper responded with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, King Yiduan said again: "Send a letter to Liaodong, there is no need to delay the reform, you can directly make a big deal!"

"Yes."

As Huamanlou expected, King Yiduan rebelled when he heard about the court's movements, and he studded directly without leaving any room for it.

It’s just that Hua Manlou may not have thought that the last straw that prompted King Yiduan’s decision-making was not his father, but the military system reform in Liaodong—everyone knows that once the military system is reformed, not only the soldiers have to clean up Once again, even the unreliable middle and low-level officers will have to be cleaned up again, and a large group of recruits will be recruited.

In other words, once the reform of the military system is fully implemented, King Yiduan's efforts in the frontier army over the years will be in vain in an instant.

Therefore, although the outcome is uncertain now, if King Yiduan is still waiting, he probably has no chance of winning.

……

"My lord, this steamed bun is really soft, don't you want to eat it?"

"..."

"My lord, there are still leftover chicken legs from yesterday, if you don't want to eat them, I will eat them?"

"..."

"Aren't you hungry, my lord?"

Crouching at the corner of the city wall, Huang Zichao stared into the distance with distracted eyes, looking lifeless.

He is now reflecting, reflecting on what went wrong with him, and actually believed in Song Jie's evil: It is obvious that it is not easy for a beggar to live, and this kind of appearance is almost avoided by everyone, so what is the point of doing so?

What troubled him even more than this question was: There were more than a dozen people who came to the front stand this time, why did he choose such a Tie Hanhan to cooperate with him?

No, not right!

Huang Zichao remembered that when assigning manpower that day, it was Song Jie who strongly suggested that he take this Tie Hanhan with him, because he was the only one who could act like a fool.

Now it seems that the guy next to him is definitely not playing a fool, but acting in his true colors?

"My lord, you eat..."

Huang Zichao was about to curse to relieve the pressure, but suddenly found someone walking towards them, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, someone is coming!"

Originally, this was just to be on guard, for fear that the appearance of the two of them would reveal the truth, but who would have thought that when Huang Zichao waited for the visitor to pass by them, the few people who came suddenly stopped in front of them.

The leader was a middle-aged man, he looked Huang Zichao up and down, and then saluted: "Dare to ask, but Huang Baihu of Chang Guowei?"

Huang Zichao was taken aback for a moment, but immediately stood up and replied, "Exactly. Your honor?"

The middle-aged man did not answer directly, but said with a sigh of relief: "I heard that you came all the way to find your uncle, did you suffer a lot along the way? Fortunately, fortunately, I heard about you! Oh , I am your uncle's friend, your uncle... oh!"

Huang Zichao's heart suddenly became vigilant: the fake uncle has a real friend?

540. Soaring Acting Skills

The person who came to look for Huang Zichao was Jiang Chao, the housekeeper of the palace. This person used to serve as a criminal officer in the court. Unfortunately, he offended someone and was framed by a scheme, and eventually became King Yiduan's right-hand man.

Could it be that Jiang Chao is mentally retarded, has he never doubted Huang Zichao's identity?

Of course not, it is impossible for a mentally retarded person to become an official after passing many scientific examinations.

Jiang Chao suspected it, and even observed it for a while, but he had to say that Song Jie was really cruel to Huang Zichao, and Huang Zichao...

Well, Huang Zichao is also quite ruthless to himself. He really didn't bring any money when he entered Lanzhou Mansion, and he was really begging around these few days—only food, no money, which is completely different from beggars who want money. The same, so it is surprising.

In addition, his own temperament made him incompatible with ordinary beggars, so someone asked about his life experience, and then things would spread—that's why the housekeeper had heard about Huang Zichao .

One ruthless person met another ruthless person, which instantly turned Song Jie's idle move into a live one. I don't know whether it should be said that Song Jie's luck is higher or Huang Zichao's luck is lower.

then……

Things were unstoppably moving in a painful and tangled direction.

"Sir, my uncle..." Huang Zichao tried his best to look worried and worried, making it look like he was really worried about his uncle, and he kept apologizing to his uncle in his heart.

"Ah!" Jiang Chao sighed heavily, and said like a good man who will not live long: "I was ill last year, very seriously ill, I don't know if I told you or not..."

Jiang Chao concluded that Huang Zichao must have no definite information when he came to look for his uncle, so he tentatively said this sentence - if Huang Zichao really contacted his uncle last year, then the theory is that his uncle did not tell him about his serious illness, And if you haven't been in touch, then things are even simpler, just edit it down.

After Huang Zichao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily: "Then... what about him now?"

Seeing Huang Zichao's reaction like this, Jiang Chao knew that he had made the right bet, so he said cautiously, "Half a year ago..."

This is another small test - if the two had contacted half a year ago, then it would be said that his uncle was dying half a year ago, if there was no contact, then his uncle died - this kind of trick Jiang Chao can be said to be very good deadly.

The corner of Huang Zichao's mouth twitched again, but he still cooperated: "Half a year ago... the old man left? I haven't received any news..."

"That's right." Jiang Chao made a sad look: "Your uncle sold all his property for medical treatment, and left nothing behind. He just entrusted me to take care of his nephew if he came to Lanzhou. ..."

The two went back and forth like this, cooperating with each other, probing each other, and finally properly fabricated a general idea of ​​Huang Zichao's non-existent uncle's identity, background, and past events, and both began to cry—for a non-existent uncle. People weep, and I don't know if this is the first time in all ages.

As for whether to take Huang Zichao to cry at his uncle's grave...

That's easy, just make a graveyard and erect a monument, isn't it all right?

In the end, Jiang Chao patted Huang Zichao on the shoulder and said, "My condolences have changed. This man has passed away, you... well, I don't know if you have any plans for the future?"

"I..." Huang Zichao looked at the sky, looked at the ground, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I'll go back to Ningbo. Although I'm already a useless person, there are still some colleagues and friends over there. Ask them to find someone The errand must not be difficult, alas..."

This sigh seemed to have exhausted the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the inconstancy of the world.

When Jiang Chao heard this, he was in the middle of his heart: "Nephew, if you don't dislike him, how about coming to my place to fight?"

Huang Zichao was overjoyed, but on the surface he said calmly: "Don't dare to trouble Mr., now I have nothing to miss in this Lanzhou mansion, and I will leave tomorrow."
