When he arrived in the study, Tang Hongfei gave a detailed report to Zhou An.

Wu Xukuan was already preparing to force the palace for the second time, and the time he chose was exactly the same as the first time. He planned to force the empress to abdicate in front of all civil and military officials during the morning court.

The day before yesterday, the empress received news of the mutiny of the Baijiang army.

During the morning court yesterday, the Empress was furious.

And just after yesterday's morning court, Wu Xukuan saw that the time was ripe, so he began to prepare for the second time to force the palace. He must have been deceived by the empress's performance in yesterday's morning court. He felt that the empress had no choice at all, and he could not think of what the empress could do, so he felt that the opportunity had come, so he made arrangements.

Wu Xukuan decided to launch a forced palace on the day when the Baijiang army arrived in Ganjing a hundred miles away.

He estimated that the arrival of Baijiang's army should be five days later.

That is, the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month.

However, according to Wu Xukuan's intention, even if the Baijiang Army did not arrive on the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, it would be okay to have one or two days late.

The Baijiang Army came from the south of Zhongzhou, which was much faster than the Chuanhe Army came from the north of Zhongzhou, because the Chuanhe Army had to pass through the steep "Chukou Corridor" and the marching speed was not fast, but the Baijiang Army was not the case. They came from the south and all the way to the foot of the capital, which was a flat road.

Therefore, if no one could stop Baijiang's army, Baijiang's army might have arrived outside the capital on the 21st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the 1st of the

Wu Xukuan calculated everything.

And he had already informed all the important officials of the court.

The reason why Tang Hongfei was able to get the news was because Wu Xukuan made an arrangement in advance and told the important officials who followed him what to do and how to force the palace with him.

The information came from a Beijing official named "Lu Lian".

Lu Lian is the left assistant censor of the Censorate. He is from the third rank, so he is naturally qualified to attend the morning court. He also received Wu Xukuan's arrangement and made preparations. Wu Xukuan also gave him a special job, which is to ask him to impeach Kang Longji in public during the morning court on the 21st!

What the Censor did was an impeachment job!

Wu Xukuan must have arranged more than one person to impeach Kang Longji. Lu Lian was just an introduction. He impeached first. At that time, a group of people would jump out and impeach him one after another. This is also part of Wu Xukuan's plan to force the palace.

The news was leaked from Lu Lian.

But it was not his own leak.

At present, the Dongchang has formed a huge and strict surveillance network in the capital. Including Wu Xukuan, both the government and the country, whether it is a high-ranking minister or a wealthy businessman, as long as it is worthy of being monitored, it is monitored.

And only a very small number of the Dongchang soldiers who monitored them were in the light, and most of them were in the dark.

Some of these secret agents, or "spy agents", have already entered the homes of the target being monitored, and even lurked around the target.

Now there are people from the East Factory in Lu Lian Mansion.

Tang Hongfei told Zhou An how this information was obtained. He even brought the information of the military personnel who had detected the information because he knew that Zhou An would definitely look at it.

The Dongchang military service lurking in the Lu Lian Mansion was named "Pan Yuanyu". He was originally a wanderer in the capital. He liked to seek flowers and willows and was ignorant. However, except for lying to women, he never did evil.

A few years ago, Pan Yuanyu's family was in ruins, so he became a commoner without money and power. He had struggled to go through relationships and took a job in the yamen, but failed to do it. After that, he became depressed and became more slutty. With a good face and sweet words, he specialized in cheating women's money and supported by women.

Until last month.

After Zhou An established the East Factory, he expanded the staff of the East Factory and secretly recruited many people in the market.

It was at that time that Pan Yuanyu secretly joined the East Factory and became a foreign soldier with someone's recommendation.

Just five days after he joined the East Factory, he successfully entered Lu Lian's mansion and became a servant of Lu Lian's mansion. A new servant naturally could not gain Lu Lian's trust. It can even be said that he could not contact Lu Lian at all, and he did the dirtiest and tiring work.

That's what Pan Yuanyu is like.

But he had a special place, that is, after just three days after entering Lu Lian’s mansion, he coaxed Lu Lian’s most beloved concubine, "Auntie He", into bed.

Aunt He was originally a priest from Caihuan Pavilion, with her stage name He Xiaoqing. She was taken as a concubine by Lu Lian the previous year. At that time, Aunt He was only fifteen years old, and this year, she was only seventeen years old.

And Lu Lian is already seventy years old!

Obviously, although Lu Lian favored Aunt He the most, he was probably unable to do anything like pear blossoms that suppressed the crabapple, so Pan Yuanyu successfully gave him a green hat.

The information was brought out by Pan Yuanyu when he had a private meeting with Aunt He.

Aunt He naturally heard Lu Lian say it in person.

...

Zhou An sat behind the table, looked at Pan Yuanyu's information and documents, and listened to Tang Hongfei's detailed report on the entire situation.

This information is very important.

Zhou An must prepare in advance.

However, after hearing Tang Hongfei's words, Zhou An was not on Wu Xukuan at the first time, but on Pan Yuanyu. This guy is a talent! Zhou An even had the idea of ​​learning from him. How did he deceive women? Zhou An really needs this skill now.

"Pan Yuanyu is still in Lu Lian Mansion?" Zhou An asked with the information and documents closed.

"Yes." Tang Hongfei replied respectfully.

"Well, okay, let him continue to lurk, and let him investigate Lu Lian's corruption."

"Yes, go and do it right away."

In fact, Zhou An really wants to call Pan Yuanyu over now. Dongchang really needs talents, and Pan Yuanyu is obviously a talent, and he can even be called a "wizard". Zhou An really wants to learn that ability.

Zhou An wanted to talk to Pan Yuanyu in person and learn about it personally. If it works, Zhou An would reuse it.

However, since Pan Yuanyu is now a servant in Lu Lian’s mansion, he must not leave easily, so Zhou An was not in a hurry to see him.

"Go... by the way, ask Xu Kaitai to come."

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Not long after Tang Hongfei left, Xu Kaitai came.

Zhou An asked Xu Kaitai to contact Li Guangshan. Only when Xu Kaitai went to the Duke Shengguo's mansion would not be suspected. Li Guangshan will secretly leave Qianjing City today. He may not be in his own mansion now, and Zhou An is not able to find him, so Xu Kaitai can.

Zhou An wanted to meet Li Guangshan, and the situation was urgent, so the plan needed to change.

One hour after Xu Kaitai left.

There was only Zhou An in the study room, and he was reading some confidential information documents.

Hurrying.

A strange noise suddenly came from the back window of the study, as if the wind was blowing open the window. When Zhou An looked up, Li Guangshan was already standing by the table. It was worthy of being in the Tiangang Realm. It was like playing in the daytime when sneaking into the East Factory.

"Old coach." Zhou An quickly got up.

"What? Brother Zhou has something urgent?" Li Guangshan raised his hand and signaled Zhou An not to be polite, and said with a smile, "You are still calling me brother."

"It's an urgent matter." Zhou An nodded and immediately told Li Guangshan about the situation.

Li Guangshan also contacted his former confidants and told Zhou An about his situation.

The two discussed again.

It was not until noon that the two made a new plan that Li Guangshan secretly left the East Factory.

He is going to set off!

noon.

Zhou An, who handled good things at the Dongchang Yamen, returned to the palace.

He went to Ganwu Palace first, reported the situation to the empress, and then accompanied the empress to have lunch. He stayed for more than an hour before leaving.

afternoon.

Back at the Ganli Palace, Zhou An locked himself in the inner hall of Ning'an Garden.

Alchemy, it’s alchemy!
