Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 123 The Archives, Number One (5.5k)

Song Chengyue, as the commander of Dagan Jinyiwei, the top leader of Zheng'er Bajing, can be said to be in power.

He understands better than others that in his position, Song Chengyue is Song Chengyue, and the commander is the commander.

As a commanding envoy, his reputation abroad is that he is domineering, full of evil, and hated by others, especially for the crown prince and those few princes. When meeting them, it is enough to salute according to the etiquette, with a little more friendliness, That's why he's stupid.

Under the crown prince's door, he ran to the Jinyiwei yamen and wanted to see him directly. He didn't break the man's leg, which was to give the prince face.

The crown prince is also giving him face now, killing him on the spot and sending him here, so he absolutely disregarded the relationship on the surface.

Everyone is still the same as before, if you don't make friends, don't make friends.

Song Chengyue waved his hand impatiently after listening to his subordinates' report.

"Clean it up quickly, how to deal with it, what it looks like when it is thrown at the door, those who don't know think we have killed someone again, and throw it at the door as a deterrent."

He naturally believed that the prince would not be so arrogant and stupid as to send someone to meet him casually.

To be able to not get out of the East Palace under the siege of several other princes, at least he knows who can commit evil and who cannot.

As for him, he is someone who absolutely cannot befriend, but he is even less able to befriend someone.

When Song Chengyue first joined Jinyiwei, he wondered why none of the commanders in the past had a better reputation, especially his previous commander, whose reputation was like a cesspit.

When I was in the yamen, I thought he was a pretty good person, but after being promoted, he suddenly became a vicious dog with a bad temper.

Later, when he was promoted, he fully understood that if the person who made the decision and made the final decision was easy to talk, he would not be able to get things done.

He is arrogant and domineering, he can't utter a good word out of his mouth, and he has a black heart, but he can avoid many troubles.

It's a pity that things are easy to do and can be done, but their reputation is stinky and there are many enemies.

After the new emperor ascends the throne, if he kills Song Chengyue, he will be able to buy a lot of people's hearts.

Or, if something really happened and it got too big, Song Chengyue's head is the best magic weapon to quell public anger.

He has seen it clearly for a long time, and now he is lying flat, life and death are ignored, and no one will buy it.

Randomly picked a copy from the documents on the table, and it was another kind of trusteeship, using connections, wanting to come in for gilding, but not doing work that would not offend others.

After looking at the materials prepared by his subordinates, looking at the background of the other party and the power behind him, he slapped the table casually, and a file appeared in a drawer next to him.

When I opened it, it was all black material from the family behind this guy.

The recent tricks of playing tricks, spreading rumors, and praising the second prince all come from this family.

Looking at the magic weapon mentioned above, Song Chengyue thought about it, isn't this the one that is being used in Jinyiwei Yamen now?

A spy got one from Dali before, and it was really useful. In the death cell under the yamen, the filth that lingered for many years disappeared.

The spies who worked in the death row all the year round didn't feel it themselves, but as soon as they went out, others could recognize them at a glance. They were the Jin Yiwei in the death row.

The filthy, dead, poisonous, and suffocating air that they were contaminated with was almost soaking them up.

Obviously they are all good hands, but they just can't be sent out to do tasks.

It is obviously much better now, and as a commander, he can mobilize more manpower invisibly.

It's just that the magic weapon is more troublesome to deal with, and it has to be sent to Dali quietly for treatment. They can't deal with it by themselves, because it will be very dangerous.

He patted the table again, this time, when he opened the drawer of the table, there was nothing inside.

On the surface of the table, a hideous strange face emerged. There were four eyes on that strange face, and after the mouth was opened, it penetrated the entire face.

"What to shoot, do you think the people below, and me, can find out everything?"

Song Chengyue laughed and cupped his hands.

"Brother Four Eyes, don't blame, don't blame, I'm used to it."

On the strange face on the table, the four eyes were looking in four directions. After looking around, they turned back and looked at Song Chengyue.

"Song, we have worked together for so many years. I watched you rise up all the way. If you have something to say, don't blame me for talking too much."

"Brother Four Eyes, you are offended by what you said. How many years have you been in the Jinyiwei Yamen? How many years have I been? I have the audacity to call you Brother Four Eyes. In fact, you are considered my elder. Teach me, if there is anything you can’t say, just say it.”

Song Chengyue looked all ears.

The four-eyed face on the table chuckled.

"Don't flatter me, I just lived a little longer and know a little more.

As for the people in front of you, they are either too soft, too hard, or too hypocritical, and they don’t look like long-lived people.

I'm also not used to watching it, so I don't bother to say it.

As for you, you are not as hypocritical as the previous commander.

Of course, you didn't think of me as just a table monster, so I think you are much more pleasing to the eye.

There is something that should not be said, and I just want to remind you. "

"Thank you four-eyed brother." Song Chengyue immediately stood up and thanked him first.

There are very few people who can know this table monster, no more than one hand.

Others only know that there is an archive in Jinyiwei. Over the years, all kinds of information and materials have been archived and stored in the archive.

It is the forbidden area of ​​Jinyiwei, and the defense force is much stricter than the yamen on the surface. There is a ninth-rank monk guarding there all the year round, and he never goes out for transfer.

All trespassers without orders, no matter who they are, Jin Yiwei has the right to kill first and then play.

But that was only on the surface.

In fact, the commanders and envoys of all dynasties will know that the real archives are this big table in his office room.

As long as he sits here, he will communicate with the magic weapon on the table, and the other party will give him what he wants immediately.

Commanders can find a lot of things without going to the archives at all.

Things that really cannot be known by others will not be put in the archives of Jinyiwei at all.

In fact, it was only through an accident that Song Chengyue knew that the table was not only a magic weapon, but also a monster with spiritual wisdom.

After getting along for many years, the relationship has become more and more harmonious.

He never asked for anything, but instead helped the monster a lot. Now, his kindness for most of his life will finally be rewarded.

The four-eyed face curled its lips in disdain.

"Sit down quickly, don't pretend to be here with me, I know you don't care about life and death, and you don't care about offending people.

I respect you as a man, so let me tell you in advance that your position is about to end. "

"I understand this. It has been more than two years since His Majesty retreated. Before I came out, I knew that my time was almost here."

Song Chengyue spoke very calmly, he knew that he would not live long.

In the past, when the emperor did not go to court in person, he would let the avatar handle some things.

But now, the incarnation of Emperor Qian did not appear, only the prince supervised the country, and in order to prevent the prince from taking power, he was cruel and chopped up several of his brothers first, beheaded first and then played.

The Qianhuang asked those princes and ministers to assist.

In the past two years, people's hearts have been fluctuating, there have been a lot of disturbances and jokes, and many people have died.

After Emperor Qian came back, he would be punished and killed, and by the way, someone would be responsible for many things.

Song Seungyue is the most suitable person.

Another reason is that he has been serving as a commander for a long time.

Look at the so-called self-recommended materials on his desk, these things can all appear on his desk.

This proves that his control of the following has also begun to have problems.

These were all signs that it was almost time for him to go.

He was pulled off the horse and died tragically. Then, those who were fighting to the death would definitely applaud together, and shout a few words to Father Huang Yingming, find a step, and everyone go down together.

Everything will return to how it was before.

The four-eyed face grinned strangely.

"I know you have awakened a long time ago, but I also know what people like you care about most."

Song Chengyue suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the strange face with four eyes, his expression became a little serious.

"According to the rules, if I ask you what I care about, you have to answer, right?"

"That's right, you are the commander now, as long as you ask, I have to answer you for everything except those who are involved." The four-eyed strange face also replied solemnly.

"Okay, so what do I care about?"

"Your thirteen women, twenty-six sons, and seventeen daughters."

Song Chengyue was silent for a moment and asked a question.

"How are they...? Who else knows but you?"

"Don't worry, I don't care who you are, whether you are pretending or not, you can pretend for most of your life, and I have been benefited by you for most of my life for nothing.

Then I think you are the kind of non-hypocritical person I think, and I will see you pleasing to the eye.

I have never recorded these materials. As far as I know, no one else knows about them except you and me.

However, I don't know if you left a flaw in your early years.

All of your thirteen women are dead.

Among the 26 sons, except for the six who died of various reasons in the early years, [-] of the remaining sons have all lost news in the past few years, and they have not been seen for several years. As far as I know, the only one who is sure to be alive is your youngest son.

As for your seventeen daughters, I am sure that fifteen of them died, and one is alive in Dali, and the other is in Kuihou Kingdom. I am not sure if they are dead or not.

And this information was sorted out after I found out that you were about to die recently.

How did they die and where did they lose their news? I can't sort out the information for you. If I have the information, I have to archive it.

I can only dictate to you.

I owe you the favor for most of my life, and now, before you die, I let you rest in peace, which is considered to be repaying your favor. "

Song Chengyue stood up and bowed solemnly.

"Thank you four-eyed brother."

He sat there, quietly listening to the narration of the four-eyed strange face.

For the sake of insurance, he never visited some of them, and he didn't even know where they went.

His biggest obsession in this life is to leave behind an incense stick, and at the beginning he still wanted a son.

Later, I felt that children are the same.

Later, after his concubine was pregnant with a child, he thought it was okay to marry again.

Later on, it didn't matter whether his children knew that his father was the famous commander of Jin Yiwei, or whether they knew about Song Chengyue.

The requirements have been lowered and lowered to the minimum.

But now, it is obvious that someone has started targeting him.

Moreover, the other party also found out a lot, and he did not cover up.

The four-eyed strange face talked for several hours before it was almost finished.

"The others, their last news, that's all I know.

After all, you also know that the channels for me to obtain news are very limited, and most of the time I need to rely on you Jin Yiwei.

Your youngest son, I advise you not to go to see him. He is in the family in Dali. He has gained power in the past two years and his development is okay.

I almost didn't find any clues, and I don't believe that others can find him.

As for your two remaining daughters, one is also away from Dali. She is only seven years old this year, and she fell into a wealthy family as a child bride.

The other daughter, a few years ago there was a disturbance on the border of Kuihou State, your woman, in order to save her life, taught piano skills in a brothel.

Then there was trouble again. Someone rescued your daughter and fled to the wasteland. You also know what happened in the wasteland. I thought they were all dead.

And last year, I caught news of that person in Kuihou Kingdom, and there is still a slight possibility that your daughter is still alive.

But there is another bad news. The person who took your daughter away back then became a hungry ghost. From my inference, your daughter may not have survived.

As for what you're going to do later, you'd better not let me know.

After you die, if the next commander finds me and asks me the same question, I can't hide it.

I can help you, but if you don't record it, there won't be any file records, and you won't be able to find it if you check it. "

After the four-eyed face finished speaking, Song Chengyue thanked him again.

He let out a long sigh, he knew that the last youngest son and youngest daughter could still live.

It's just because he hid well enough behind him, erased the clues and traces cleanly enough, and didn't let anyone he knew intervene in the whole process, including himself.

In the front, due to various reasons, his strength is not enough, the power is not enough, or other reasons, after all, there is still a trace of flaws.

In the end, he didn't even know where they were or what they looked like.

The four-eyed face quietly receded, and the table returned to its original state, just like an ordinary table.

Song Chengyue sat there, silent for a long time, but he still couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

He will live and die, using his own life for his own loyalty, and the last little hope is still unable to be preserved.

The four-eyed face didn't tell him who did those things.

But he understood that besides Daqian Jinyiwei, who else could do these things?
Before he stepped back, someone had already started preparing for his succession.

And that person, if he is not sure, how could he dare to do such a thing.

If his current commander finds out, he must have no way out.

No matter who is standing behind him, he will surely die.

Song Chengyue glanced in the direction of the palace, and closed his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

He closed his eyes and patted the table.

After opening the drawer, he took out a piece of information inside, about Jinlanshan.

In the data, there is only one female hungry ghost.

He put the materials back in the drawer, closed the drawer, and sat there with his eyes closed, after sitting for a full half a day.

In his sea of ​​qi, a ring shone with brilliance.

……

Yu Ziqing shook his hand, and the thin needle that was flying up and down failed to hold it, and the thread broke again, turning into an afterimage and flying out.

With strength wrapped in the thin needle, it pierced through several locust trees in a row, and sank into the last locust tree.

Near his wooden house, in the pagoda trees within a radius of [-] zhang, there is no one hungry ghost, and all of them have moved.

You know, the locust tree near the edge of the inner circle is a golden location for those hungry ghosts. It is impossible for a fool who has not regained some intelligence, no skills, nothing, and no consciousness to live. it's here.

Now, they've all moved away.

While practicing, Yu Ziqing sensed the ring on the seventh floor, and someone was calling him.

Yu Ziqing thought about it, Lao Yang's No. [-] can be ignored.

No. [-] has been diving for a long time, it may be something about the East China Sea, which has a greater impact on it, so he is busy running away.

Number five only dared to leave a message, and didn't dare to call casually at all.

No. [-] has never contacted him.

That's the bastard on the [-]th, where did he go wandering again, he got off the hook, and asked for help online.

But after entering the ring on the seventh floor, after reaching the seventh floor, they saw a person sitting on the number one seat.

Yu Ziqing was a little shocked.

The number one who never bubbled, he had forgotten.

When No. [-] saw him, he immediately stood up and bowed his hands, very politely.

"I'm really sorry to bother you, but there is something I want to ask your Excellency. If I don't ask, I really can't sleep or eat."

"You're welcome, what information do you want to trade? I don't necessarily know."

"Within the scope of Daqian, any information I know, you can ask at will, and it can be used as a transaction."

As soon as Yu Ziqing heard this, he knew that the other party was a little impatient and anxious, and he was sure that he must know the answer to the question.

After Yu Ziqing sat down, No. [-] was silent for a moment before asking questions.

"I would like to ask, the girl who was sent to Jinlan Mountain, a child brought there, is she... still alive?"

Yu Ziqing was shocked when he heard this.

The people here guessed that he was from Jinlan Mountain, so there was no surprise, everyone tacitly knew it, they just didn't say it.

But he never expected that Number One would actually ask this question.

Seeing that Yu Ziqing was silent, No. [-] spoke to himself.

"At the beginning, one of my women was in a catastrophe, and she taught piano skills in a brothel on the western border of Kuihou Kingdom. Later, when something went wrong, my child was rescued by the girl, and she took her to the wilderness.

I just found out about this news and just wanted to make sure. "

Yu Ziqing was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"left already."

This is no secret, it cannot be said that it does not exist.

"Can I ask, how... did you leave?"

"City was hunted down by cannibals. Before he died, he didn't want the child to fall into the hands of cannibals. With his last breath, he threw the child into the cliff."

"Hey..." No. [-] let out a long sigh, he couldn't say anything to blame, and he even had to thank Xieci.

Yu Ziqing knew from the moment he took the initiative to contact and asked that question that what this guy said might not be false.

This kind of problem is not a secret in Jinlan Mountain, even to some outsiders who may have entered the abyss of despair. The small theater has never stopped.

It was actually very easy to get in and out of the abyss of despair.

If you just ask this question, so far, Yu Ziqing can be [-]% sure that it is the truth.

However, right after, I heard No. [-] continue.

"I want to make a deal with you. Within one year, within a year, three hundred pieces of information."

Hearing the bargaining chip of this deal, Yu Ziqing immediately stood up and walked down.

With such a high price, the content of the transaction is not something he can finalize, nor is he able to afford it.

Seeing that Yu Ziqing was about to leave, No. [-] said immediately.

"I would like to ask Jin Lanshan to take in two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is four years old and the girl is seven years old. They are both in Dali."

"That's all!"

"They don't know who I am, I've never been in direct contact with them, I've never even met them."

"These two are my last children."

"I just don't want them to be implicated, and I don't want them to die."
