Chapter 192 Brothers' Plan
Under Liang Jin's puzzled gaze, Zhao Bao continued:
"Actually, I joined the investigation agency."

Liang Jin was stunned at first, then he understood.

It seems that his previous guess was correct, and Cao Xian really has a background in the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Zhao Baobab must have entered the investigation agency through Cao Xian.

He shook his head helplessly:

"You shouldn't have told me this."

Zhao Bao joined the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but instead of working there, he went to serve Concubine Han.

This means that Zhao Bao was carrying out a secret mission.

If the secret is leaked, it will be disadvantageous to Zhao Bao.

Zhao Bao smiled and said:

"I kept it a secret from you at the beginning because I knew I shouldn't tell you."

"But then I thought clearly, what in this world is more important than family?"

"Brother Jin is my family, I shouldn't hide it from you."

"Now that Xiaolian is in trouble, I need to be honest with her in order to help her."

"If it weren't for you guys, I'm afraid... I wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer."

After saying that, Zhao Bao picked up the wine glass and drank the whole thing in one gulp.

Liang Jin had a drink with Zhao Bao.

Then he asked:

"What exactly is going on with the Huaiyang King incident?"

Since Zhao Bao is from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he must know the inside story.

really.

Zhao Bao began to explain to Liang Jin.

It turned out that the current emperor had always been suspicious of his uncle, Zhao Yu, the Prince of Huaiyang.

So when Zhao Yu came to Beijing a while ago, the emperor put Zhao Yu under house arrest and beat and insulted him at will.

Because Zhao Yu was obese, the emperor gave him the title of "Pig King".

The emperor also put Zhao Yu in a bamboo cage and weighed him, treating him like a pig.

The emperor even ordered people to dig a pit in the ground, fill it with mud and water, strip Zhao Yu naked and push him into the pit, and put a wooden trough filled with pig food in front of him, so that he could eat like a pig for fun.

After being tortured like this for a while, Zhao Yu went crazy.

After Zhao Yu went crazy, the emperor gradually lost interest in torturing Zhao Yu. After all, there was not much sense of accomplishment in torturing a madman.

But even so, the emperor was unwilling to let Zhao Yu go, and decided to kill Zhao Yu as the New Year pig during the New Year.

The Shangshenjian was responsible for guarding Zhao Yu, but eventually sent Zhao Yu to where Liang Jin was on duty.

After listening to this, Liang Jin thought:
"I'm afraid that Eunuch Che of the Imperial Kitchen and my comrade Xue Yan are both followers of the Prince of Huaiyang?"

Zhao Bao nodded:
"Xue Yan is a descendant of the Marquis of Anqing and the second son of the Deputy Commander of the Changzhi Military Commission. His family is related to the Prince of Huaiyang."

"Che Ziyi is a greedy man. He has been bribed by the Prince of Huaiyang's men. That's why he sent the Prince of Huaiyang to where Xue Yan was stationed and asked Xue Yan to take care of him."

Liang Jin felt helpless when he heard this.

I didn't expect that there was such a complicated story behind this matter.

Especially since Xue Yan, who was standing guard together, was actually a descendant of a noble family.

Xue Yan's ancestor, Marquis Anqing, had fought for the throne with Emperor Taizu.

Xue Yan's father, the Commander-in-Chief, was also a third-rank military officer.

I originally thought that he came to the Imperial Guard a while ago to gain experience and prepare for promotion, but it turned out that he came for Prince Huaiyang.

With Xue Yan's status, if he worked hard, he might have the chance to become a guard.

If the official positions in the Imperial Guards are reserved for the children of official families, then the positions of Imperial Guards are reserved for the children of true nobles.

It seems that if it weren't for Prince Huaiyang, Xue Yan would probably not have the opportunity to stand guard with Liang Jin.

Zhao Bao comforted him:
"Don't worry, Brother Jin, the Emperor will kill Prince Huaiyang tomorrow."

"No matter how brave the people of Huaiyang King are, they dare not rescue him openly."

"Once Prince Huaiyang dies tomorrow, everything will be fine."

Liang Jin also knew that he could only wait patiently for this matter.

Zhao Bao is right.

As long as Prince Huaiyang dies, Xue Yan and Eunuch Che will all go their separate ways.

Liang Jin will probably never have any contact with them again in his life.

What needs to be dealt with urgently right now is Su Lian’s matter.

He and Zhao Bao finally had a chance to talk in private. If he didn't resolve the matter today, he might not have another chance in the future.

Liang Jin immediately asked:

"Zhao Bao, how do you think we can help Xiaolian?"

When Zhao Bao heard this, he frowned and replied:
"I've been thinking about this all night."

"Ever since falling out of favor, Concubine Zhang has become capricious and tyrannical. I'm afraid this character is difficult to change."

"If you want Xiaolian to live a completely good life, you have to transfer her away."

"Unfortunately, my position is too low, and I can't directly transfer Xiaolian away."

"unless……"

"If Concubine Zhang is banished to the cold palace or stripped of her title, I might have a chance to ask someone to transfer Xiaolian away from Concubine Zhang."

Liang Jin nodded, this was roughly what he thought.

In the imperial palace, concubines of different ranks were equipped with different numbers of eunuchs and palace maids.

For example, a royal concubine could be accompanied by two eighth-rank chief eunuchs, twelve ordinary eunuchs, and eight palace maids.

If the imperial concubine was demoted, the number of eunuchs and palace maids serving her would be reduced.

If the imperial concubine was banished to the cold palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs who served her would have to leave and accept new assignments.

If something happened to Concubine Zhang and the number of palace maids needed to be reduced, and Zhao Bao happened to have the ability to make Xiaolian one of the reduced palace maids, then the problem would be solved.

Zhao Bao said distressedly:

"Unfortunately, it's not easy to defeat Concubine Zhang in the short term."

"My master, Concubine Han, has been trying to find fault with Concubine Zhang every day, but she never gets the chance."

"I've also inquired with the Investigation Bureau, but there's no information yet."

After saying that, Zhao Bao had no choice but to drink another glass of wine.

Liang Jin held the wine glass and said, "Maybe, I have a way."

Zhao Bao looked at Liang Jin in confusion.

Liang Jin said:

"I got a piece of intelligence, and it's very accurate."

"You are from Concubine Han and the Investigation Bureau. If you can dig deeper into this information, you will definitely find something unfavorable to Concubine Zhang."

"Two days ago, Concubine Zhang sent her chief eunuch, Yao Yang, out of the palace to discuss with Earl Rui'an the murder of the monk Wu Shang from the Great Buddha Temple. I'm afraid they will act within the next two days."

When Zhao Bao heard this, his face was full of suspicion.

Liang Jin stands guard every day, how did he get to know such important information?
How true is this information?
Liang Jin simply said:

"I'm not in a position to talk about this."

"But since this concerns Xiaolian, you don't have to doubt it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bao couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyes brightening.

Since Liang Jin spoke so seriously, Zhao Bao believed the information.

If this news is true, then the death of an ordinary monk will not affect Concubine Zhang's status.

But how to take advantage of the situation is what the investigation agency is good at.

It is especially unreasonable for the imperial concubine to kill a monk. There must be some hidden story behind it.

If it can be used well, it might really threaten Concubine Zhang's position as Concubine.

"Brother Jin, I understand."

"I'll investigate right away, and then I'll use this incident to deal with Concubine Zhang."

A hint of ruthlessness also appeared in Zhao Bao's eyes.

Although he was just a small eunuch.

But if anyone bullies his Xiaolian, he will never let them go.

Even the imperial concubine can’t do that!

Zhao Bao said this and was about to leave.

He didn't want to delay Su Lian's matter for a moment.

Liang Jin grabbed him and said:

"and many more."

"When you go out on business, safety is your top priority."

"I have something here, you can use it to protect yourself."

Liang Jin had no way to intervene in this matter and could only leave it to Zhao Bao.

Concubine Zhang and her father, Earl of Ruian, are both extremely powerful people. If Zhao Bao tries to ruin their plans, he might be in danger.

So Liang Jin took out the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles and the secret book "A Sky Full of Flower Rain" and gave them to Zhao Bao.

The Rain of Pear Blossom Needles is a very special hidden weapon.

It looks like an ordinary small wooden box, seven inches long and three inches thick.

On one side of the box were three rows of extremely fine pinholes, nine holes in each row.

There is a line of words carved on the wooden box: Blood will be seen when it comes out, and it will be unlucky if it returns empty-handed; in times of emergency, the king of hidden weapons.

The scary thing about this hidden weapon is that it is extremely powerful, incredibly fast, and very difficult to defend against.

Especially if a person does not know martial arts, once he masters the use of this hidden weapon, he can kill a master unexpectedly!
It is simply a powerful weapon for sneak attacks!
Its upper limit may not be too high, but its lower limit is very high.

If combined with the hidden weapon secret manual "Rain of Flowers", then killing enemies of higher levels would be a piece of cake.

The only drawback.

In other words, this kind of hidden weapon is only suitable for sneak attacks, one-on-one battles, or battles against a small number of people.

If others knew the secret, its power would be greatly reduced.

At the same time, it is not suitable for group battles, especially for killing enemies on the battlefield.

Liang Jin originally wanted to pass the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle to one of the seven souls.

But now, he felt that Zhao Bao needed this weapon for self-defense more.

Zhao Bao took the hidden weapon and secret manual, with a complicated expression:
"Brother Jin..."

He could naturally see that these hidden weapons and secret manuals were extremely precious items.

Zhao Bao didn't expect that he would have to endure Liang Jin's great kindness again, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

But he really needs these things.

This Rain of Pear Blossom Needle can be carried with you and will not easily attract attention.

He can be used whether as a secret agent in the police station or in and out of the palace.

This made him unable to refuse.

Liang Jin patted his shoulder:

"Brothers, no need to say more."

"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can tell me. I know a lot of friends who may be able to help."

Liang Jin has not yet made use of the undercover agents of Hualongmen lurking in the city and the palace.

Liang Jin had never taken the initiative to contact these undercover agents, and he didn't want to contact them in advance unless it was absolutely necessary.

Zhao Bao sighed secretly, then saluted Liang Xing:

"Brother Jin, I understand."

"Then I'll go do my work. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."

After saying that, Zhao Bao turned and left.

He walked hurriedly, in a great hurry.

Liang Jin sat down and enjoyed the food and wine. He had ordered such a large table of food, so he couldn't let it go to waste.

He ate and drank while sighing slightly.

Han Guifei's father, Han Guozhang, can be regarded as the enemy of Liang Jin's clone in Qingzhou.

On the contrary, Concubine Zhang's father, Earl of Ryan, was the force that restrained Han Guozhang.

Liang Jin's original plan was to help Concubine Zhang first and bring down Concubine Han.

But who would have thought that this imperial concubine was such a bad person.

Then Liang Jin had no choice but to defeat her first.
