Need for a Guard

When Shi Yue and Niu Xi came in, Tian Fen had already returned to his gloomy and wise appearance. Seeing Shi Yue clasped his fists at him respectfully, he immediately waved his hands enthusiastically: "There are no outsiders here, and there is no need to be courteous between us."

Pointing to Niu Xi and Wang Qinian, he said softly, "These are all from our own family!"

Shi Yue's face turned red, and he nodded excitedly. Since he was turned into a confidant by Tian Fen, he naturally showed a flattered gesture. He was too calm, wouldn't he refute Tian Fen's face?

Shi Yue looked at the dozens of corpses in the dungeon, curious in his heart, and asked: "General, you asked me to come here, what's embarrassing, do you want me to do it?"

Tian Fen smiled helplessly, pointed at the corpses and said, "Although these assassins are dead, they have brought me a lot of trouble."

"My lord, please speak clearly!" Shi Yue was also a little curious.

Tian Fenwei said: "Master Kang urged me to close the case quickly, but how can I find the traces of these assassins in a short time? However, I can guess the hidden meaning of Mr. Kang even with my eyes closed! If I can find the mastermind behind the scenes People, that would be even better, copy his house and kill his nine clans! If we can't find the real culprit behind the scenes..."

Speaking of this, Tian Fen's long and narrow eyes became more gloomy and gloomy, and he said through gritted teeth: "If you can't find the real culprit behind the scenes, then make up some random charges and implicate those officials in the court who opposed Mr. Kang Going to the body will just eliminate dissidents and root out traitors."

Both Niu Xi and Wang Qinian were startled, and peeking at Shi Yue, they didn't expect Tian Fen to have such trust in Shi Yue in his heart, that he would even say such a dark thing openly.

Shi Yue was taken aback by Tian Fen's harsh words, thinking that if he really took advantage of this to build up the prison and let those officials suffer damage, it would be very detrimental to the little emperor.

You have to think of an idea to prevaricate it.

Shi Yue glanced at Niu Xi and Wang Qinian, the two understood, they shrugged off the matter, and went outside to wait.

Shi Yue cleared his throat, and said with deep meaning: "General, if you can't find the murderer, and randomly implicate these assassins with all the officials, of course it can help Mr. Kang to obtain greater benefits, but it will be very bad for you, General. .”

Tian Fen was startled, as if he realized something in his heart...

Shi Yue continued to be persuasive and said: "General, you use me and promote me. I am your confidant. Of course, I always think of you, so I don't have any scruples when I speak."

"This matter is supervised by you, General. If those officials are implicated for no reason, the prison will be set up and the capital will be stained with blood, which will be extremely detrimental to the general's reputation. From then on, those officials will put their hatred on the general! In the eyes of all the officials, there are demons, malignant tumors, and executioners, such a reputation, such criticism, can the general bear it?"

Tian Fen shook his head gloomily: "I...I can't bear it." Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Shi Yue said again: "Although Mr. Kang will rely more on you and entrust you with important responsibilities in the future, if the general wants to fly higher and make enemies with the officials of the Manchu Dynasty prematurely, it is tantamount to digging his own grave."

Tian Fen smiled, patted Shi Yue on the shoulder, and said: "You really talked about my heart, I didn't think about those mundane things about promotion, but implicated those innocent officials for no reason, which would damage the morality, in my heart Can't bear it."

Can't bear it?

When Shi Yue heard Tian Fen's hypocrisy, he wanted to vomit in his heart. If he hadn't pointed out the key point, Tian Fen would have killed all the ministers of the court without blinking his eyes.

Tian Fen kicked the corpses, wondering: "It is impossible to find the real culprit, and it is not easy to implicate those ministers, so how can I explain to Mr. Kang so that he can be satisfied?"

Shi Yue smiled lightly, and blurted out the words he had prepared a long time ago, "General, do you know about the Blood Killing Alliance?"

"Oh?" Tian Fen narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words Blood Killing Alliance, and vaguely guessed Shi Yue's intentions.

Shi Yue said again: "Since the origins of these people are strange and their whereabouts cannot be traced, then we should attribute them to the Blood Killing League. Moreover, the Blood Killing League is a killer organization that kills wantonly under the banner of supporting justice. , Mr. Kang has made countless enemies in his life, and it is completely reasonable to be assassinated by the assassins of the Blood Slaughter League."

Seeing Tian Fen smiling and nodding again and again, Shi Yue asked again: "In this way, my lord can avoid turning against the ministers, and can explain to Lord Kang, and... General Tian will get another benefit!"

"What's the benefit?"

Shi Yue said: "Master Kang learned that he was assassinated by members of the Blood Slaughter League. Considering the super strength of the Blood Slaughter League, Mr. Kang must be worried and restless!"

"Under anxiety, the general will be given more manpower, more power, and more resources to solve the case and find out the real culprit! Didn't the general just take this opportunity to strengthen his strength?"

When Tian Fen heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

With his status and power at this time, he has almost reached a relatively narrow bottleneck. If he can use the Blood Killing Alliance to fan the flames and find a breakthrough to increase his strength, it will of course be an extremely exciting event.

Shi Yue, you are really my nobleman! !

Tian Fen's eyes lit up in excitement, he was caught off guard, looked at the corpses, and said in a low voice: "Shi Yue, you are right! Without you, I really don't know what to do! It seems that I am going to be in these corpses now. Let’s use some hands and feet to forge the traces of the killers of the Blood Slaughter League.”

Shi Yue nodded in agreement, and the two discussed secretly for a while before walking out together.

Niu Xi and Wang Qinian looked at the inexplicable excitement on Tian Fen's face, and they knew that this matter had been settled by Shi Yue, and they admired Shi Yue's methods even more in their hearts.

Tian Fen ordered Niu Xi and Wang Qinian to take Shi Yue to the school grounds for a military parade, and he whipped his horse and headed straight to Kang Shanzhen's mansion.

Wang Qinian gave Shi Yue a thumbs up while walking, and praised: "Brother Shi, you are really good. You have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by General Tian so quickly. I am very envious, brother!"

Niu Xi also smiled and praised Shi Yue.

Shi Yue could hear the jealousy in the hearts of the two of them, thinking of shooting the first bird, being jealous, but it is a very dangerous thing!

He patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said sincerely: "Daniu, Qi Nian, Shi San, I am a person who values ​​affection. No matter what time it is, I will remember your benefits. Don't be separated by small things..."

The two could hear what Shi Yue meant, and nodded heavily with satisfied smiles.

When Shi Yue came to the school grounds, the three small banners formed a team of general banners. Because Wang Dahai and other five black-clothed guards died in battle, the number of this team was less than a hundred.

The banner owners of the other two small flags stepped forward, seeing Shi Yue and others coming, hurriedly led the black-clothed guards who were less than a hundred behind them, and said: "I pay my respects to your lord."

The voices of the ninety-odd people were uneven, chaotic, and weak, without any serious demeanor.

Shi Yue looked at the neatly dressed black-clothed guards with double-edged knives across their waists, and heaved a heavy sigh in his heart: Is this my soldier?
