Chapter 43 Fear
cooperate?
Qiu Heng's suggestion made the four of them look at each other and couldn't help but feel moved.
This magpie brother was obviously familiar with the capital, and it was unclear what his skills were. At least he was very good at his feet, and he had the ability to help them escape from pursuit.
It should not be a loss to cooperate with such a person.
The four of them exchanged glances, and it was Tao Da who spoke again: "Brother Magpie, tell me how to cooperate?"
"From what you said, I can tell that Yuan Chenghai is used to being under heavy protection. Although he has relaxed a little after returning to Beijing, he will not take it lightly after being attacked during the day. His residence is also arranged to be airtight..."
The more Qiu Heng talked, the darker the atmosphere became.
"In this case, assassination will not work."
Yuan Chenghai is different from Han Wu. Senior officials who have lived in the capital for a long time have been comfortable for too long, and Han Wu himself is the leader of the Forbidden Army, so he will ignore these things. Yuan Chenghai, on the other hand, has made the southeast a mess, and the people are filled with resentment, knowing that he is hated by others.
"Then let's file a complaint!" Chen San gritted his teeth.
Qiu Heng shook his head: "I'm afraid not."
"We have evidence. A brother once exchanged his life for the account books of dog thieves occupying fertile land. But we don't believe that the court will make decisions for the people, so we want to kill the dog thieves directly to eliminate the harm!"
Qiu Heng looked at Chen San who sounded angrily: "Then do you believe the court now?"
"What can I do if I don't believe it? Do you think there is any other way?"
Facing Chen San's angry question, Qiu Heng was very calm: "If you don't believe it, of course don't do it. You can try small things with the thought of giving it a try. How can such a big thing be entrusted to others, to luck, to the future?" Known justice? ”
She said this because the answer was already on the paper.
Yuan Chenghai caused trouble in the southeast and provoked civil unrest, but he was just demoted. However, after the civil unrest that lasted for more than a year was quelled, he was favored again.
The emperor's preference is so unreasonable.
A huge uprising that captured more than thirty counties and almost shook the Ling family was suppressed. After being put down, the culprit was able to regain the favor of the emperor. How could she believe that just an account book that occupied fertile land could bring down Yuan? thief?
At that time, Han Wu was still willing to wait for a result, but for Yuan Chenghai, her idea was very clear: put aside all luck and take the thief's life on her own.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Chen San asked impatiently.
Qiu Heng stared at him quietly for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
"I can understand that you have emotions and that you are in a bad mood, but it is not me who should be responsible for your bad mood. Those who don't know think that I am the one who made you feel like a lost dog." Qiu Heng said rudely.
Who has suffered less than whom?
This world does not belong to her, and the suffering of the people is not caused by her. She is not seeking help for personal gain. If she can succeed, tens of millions of people will benefit, but she is the only one among millions of people.
She was already very annoyed, and she had no obligation to accept this kind of idleness.
"Brother Tao, if Chen San is still so emotional when planning things in the future, it will only hinder him."
Tao Da's tone became stern: "Chen San, you still haven't apologized to Brother Magpie!"
"I'm sorry." Chen Sangong cupped his hands and became quiet.
He had vented a few words in the past and his brothers had comforted him, but this was the first time someone had said this.
But what the other party said... seems to make sense...
Although Chen San couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a moment, he was vaguely aware of this.
"Then let's get down to business. Give up the assassination path, give up the extravagant hope that someone will uphold justice, and rely on ourselves." Qiu Heng looked at the four people, "The first step is to understand the people in Yuan's house, who is more important, Being able to get close to Yuan Chenghai, what are the likes and dislikes of these people, and who do they have grudges with..."
This time Chen San listened patiently before asking: "But how do we understand it?"
Qiu Heng looked at the only woman among the four: "Sanniang, can I call you Sanniang?"
Nie Sanniang nodded.
"You and your sister Siniang went out to play, and Yuan Chenghai robbed Siniang. Why didn't he rob you?"
Chen San's lips moved and he wanted to speak again, but this time he endured it.
Nie Sanniang was silent for a while, then pulled off the black scarf, revealing a plain face.
"Maybe it's because I'm not beautiful."
Nie Sanniang's voice trembled a little as she said this.
This tremor was not due to inferiority complex due to inferior appearance, but due to guilt towards my sister.
She was the one who insisted on going out to play, but it was her sister who fell into the trap. It was only because she was not good-looking enough. If she was the victim, at least she wouldn't be tortured by the guilt she felt towards her sister.
"You acted together with everyone and never showed your true face in front of Yuan Chenghai, right?" Qiu Heng looked at Nie Sanniang's face and asked.
Sure enough, what was written in the book was true. Yuan Chenghai loved beauties very much, so much so that if he fell in love with them, he would steal their wives and concubines.
But if the appearance is not enough, he will not take a second look.
"No. We had no chance of getting close to him when we were in the south." Everyone who tried to get close died.
"How does Yuan Chenghai treat Siniang?"
Nie Sanniang stared straight at Qiu Heng: "Brother Que, just tell me what you think."
"If he is okay with my sister, why don't you come to see me——"
"No, that's not letting the Sanniang sheep fall into the tiger's mouth!" Chen San objected.
Nie Sanniang's eyes changed: "Brother Magpie means——"
"You are Siniang's biological sister. It is reasonable for you to come to visit your sister after losing her. Yuan Chenghai will definitely not let her go, so you just don't want to leave. You have to stay with your sister and take care of her." Qiu Heng paused. , emphasized, "Of course the premise is that Yuan Chenghai still cares about Siniang."
Does the thief care about his sister?
Nie Sanniang recalled that on the way to Beijing, she saw Yuan Chenghai chatting and laughing around Siniang. Siniang was as motionless as a puppet without strings, so she felt that he cared.
At least for now I still care.
"Okay, I'll go!" Nie Sanniang quickly made up her mind.
"Sanniang!" Chen San was a little anxious, "Then you're in it too? What if the thief bullies you?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Nie Sanniang was very calm: "The thief wanted to have an interest in me, so we robbed him together."
Chen San was speechless.
"What happens after I stay with Siniang?" Nie Sanniang asked Qiu Heng seriously, "Looking for an opportunity to strike?"
She could tell that the person whose face was covered in front of her was very young, but he had many more ideas than those of them who had always been reckless.
Qiu Heng shook his head: "We must give up the idea of taking action directly. You came here for your sister. Yuan Chenghai may not care about you, but he will definitely guard against your approach. He cherishes his life so much, not just for you, but for anyone." People.”
"Then what can I do?"
"As I just said, get to know the people around him. Since Yuan Chenghai is difficult to deal with, you may be able to find opportunities through others."
Nie Sanniang nodded, her eyes bright: "I understand."
"What about us?" Chen San asked.
"You three, go into hibernation first. It's difficult to assassinate Yuan Chenghai, but with your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to hide yourself, right?"
There are too many people in the prosperous and affluent capital, and the lack of a curfew breaks the boundaries between neighborhoods and cities. The vendors walking in the streets, the merchants coming and going, the brightly lit night markets, and the gourmet bars that stay up all night... all contribute to the lively atmosphere. At the same time, it also makes it easier for some people who cannot see the light to do things.
Such an environment provides convenient conditions for hiding.
After discussing some details, Qiu Heng said goodbye to the four of them: "I'll leave first and wait for your news."
"Brother Magpie——" Chen San shouted.
Qiu Heng looked at him.
Chen San pointed to his face: "We don't know what you look like yet. Will it be inconvenient to cooperate in the future?"
By this time, Tao Da and Liu Er, who had been silent all this time, also showed their faces. Only Qiu Heng still covered up his true appearance.
Hearing this, Qiu Heng raised his hand and touched the black scarf on his face: "You guys, remember my name is Que, just remember my voice. It's not convenient for me to show my true face at the moment, I'm sorry."
Chen San frowned: "This is unfair."
This is not to vent his emotions, but to discuss the matter.
"Fair enough." Qiu Heng replied calmly and confidently, "You have no way out, and I have a family, status, and a way out. It's unfair for me to be the same as you."
Chen San was silent.
Tao Da handed over his hand: "Brother Magpie is right, then we will act according to the plan."
Qiu Heng waved his hand, and climbed out of the courtyard wall after a few ups and downs under the watch of the four people.
For a long time, Chen San sighed: "This guy named Que is really good at Qinggong."
"It's our luck to meet him tonight. Chen San, please be more polite in the future." Tao Da said.
"I know. Sanniang, are you really going to go tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"What if——"
Nie Sanniang was tired of hearing this: "Stop talking nonsense. If Yuan Chenghai suspects that I have another purpose and wants to take my life, then I will die. So many people are dead. One more of me is not more. If I am afraid of death, I will not die." It will be here.”
"Who is afraid of death?" Chen San lay down, surrounded by the rich smell of grass, as if he had returned to the time when he was a child and herded cattle with his brothers.
At that time, they just liked to lie around and be lazy.
"I'm afraid the thief will survive..." The young man's throat tightened and his voice dropped.
I'm just afraid that the dog thief will not die.
