Chapter 126: Secret Guard Captain Wei Cen

Not an assassin, nor a thief, but here to deliver something!

interesting!
Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes and watched his every move like a statue.

The other party was not aware of his presence at all.

Watching him put the things away, Yang Zhengshan moved gently.

Just as Yang Zhengshan moved, the man's movements paused, and then he turned around suddenly.

A gun tip flashing with a cold light fell in front of him.

“You seem very confident!”

Yang Zhengshan said lightly.

The man was wearing black clothes and a mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Those eyes were very calm. Even when he suddenly saw the flash of a gun appear in front of him, his eyes remained calm.

Yang Zhengshan looked him up and down. He was wearing a black nightgown and a black cloth mask. Haha, he had seen this kind of outfit on TV countless times before, but this was the first time he saw it in real life.

This man was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, had an ordinary look, and his hands were covered with calluses.

In terms of cultivation level, he should be a post-natal warrior. The specific level he is at cannot be seen from his appearance.

"Tell me, who are you!" Yang Zhengshan asked.

The man in black was silent for a moment, then he said, "Secret Military Guard Zhenbei Division Captain Wei Cen greets Lord Yang!"

At this moment, Wei Cen's mood was not as calm as he appeared. As a captain of the Secret Guard, Wei Cen had the sixth level of acquired cultivation. He was also an experienced spy who was very good at infiltration, assassination, investigation, etc.

With his strength, he can't walk around Chongshan Town with his head held high, but there are definitely few people who can catch him.

He originally thought that this mission was a very simple one, just delivering something. This kind of mission was probably the simplest one he had received in the past ten years.

However, he never expected that he would be caught red-handed.

It would have been fine if he was hit by someone, but at this moment, facing Yang Zhengshan's gun, he actually felt a strong sense of crisis.

It was as if the tip of the gun in front of him would pierce his throat if he made the slightest movement.

Isn’t this Lord Yang only at the third level of acquired cultivation?
Why do I feel such a strong sense of threat?

Before he came, he naturally checked Yang Zhengshan's information, and the information he checked was provided by Zhou Lan and Liang Chu.

Both Zhou Lan and Liang Chu's understanding of Yang Zhengshan actually stopped at more than half a year ago.

After the Battle of Linguanbao, Yang Zhengshan told Liang Chu and Zhou Lan that his cultivation level was the third level of the acquired realm.

But now?

More than half a year has passed, and Yang Zhengshan's cultivation has reached the fifth level of the acquired realm.

In terms of cultivation, he is one level lower than Wei Cen, but it is not certain who is stronger.

"Secret Guards!"

Yang Zhengshan was not surprised. In fact, no matter who came today, he would not be surprised.

"Eunuch Lu sent you?"

"Exactly!"

"Why?"

Wei Cen picked up the booklet that had just been placed on the coffee table and handed it to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him deeply, retracted his spear, and reached out to take the booklet.

"Since you are a secret guard, there is no need to play tricks on me!"

As he said this, he turned around and lit the candle.

He seemed to be relaxed and trusted Wei Cen, but in fact his nerves were always on edge. Once Wei Cen made a dangerous move, he would thrust out the spear in his hand without hesitation.

Wei Cen looked at Yang Zhengshan's back. The candle was lit, and the faint candlelight gradually became brighter, infinitely magnifying Yang Zhengshan's back and wrapping him up.

This guy is dangerous!

Wei Cen raised his hand and removed the black cloth on his face, revealing an ordinary face.

Yang Zhengshan turned his head and glanced at him, then put down the gun in his hand, sat down at the desk, opened the booklet and started reading.

The contents of the booklet are information about the officials in Anyuan Prefecture, from the garrison office to the prefect's office, to the military preparation department, and the wealthy families in Anyuan Prefecture. Almost all the prominent figures have detailed information.

This information is much more detailed than what Yang Mingcheng and his team investigated.

When he turned to the end of the book, Yang Zhengshan's pupils suddenly shrank.

The last page actually recorded the crimes committed by Xu Wanfu.

Xu Wanfu did not embezzle military rations, did not collect salaries without working, and did not withhold food and wages from the officers and soldiers.

On the surface he was a very good military officer, but secretly he did many evil things.

In the 16th year of Chengping, at the end of April, Chen Xiangyun, a decent woman from Chenjia Town, was forcibly taken as a concubine. In early May, Chen Xiangyun was unwilling to be humiliated and hanged herself. Afterwards, the Chen family came to ask for an explanation, but was beaten up. On the way back to Chenjia Town, the Chen family encountered bandits, and the father and his son died.

In the early March of the eighteenth year of Chengping, Xu Wanfu killed his wife Xu Wang. In order to cover up his crime, Xu Wanfu killed all of his wife's relatives.

At the end of the 19th year of Chengping, Xu Wanfu robbed three shops of the Yan family in Nancheng and broke one leg of the Yan family's father and son.

……

The crimes listed there include robbery, plunder, murder and extermination of entire families. He has committed all kinds of evil.

Yang Zhengshan frowned as he watched.

This person is simply a scumbag!
Calling him a scum is a bit of an insult to scum. He is not a human being, but a cruel beast.

But here comes the problem!

Why are only Xu Wanfu’s crimes listed here?
"You want me to take down Xu Wanfu?"

Yang Zhengshan looked up at Wei Cen.

Wei Cen shook his head slightly, "I don't know, my job is just to hand him over to you!"

"Give it to me? It should be handed over to me without me noticing!" Yang Zhengshan looked at the captain of the Secret Guard with a smile.

In terms of rank, Wei Cen is much lower than him, but Wei Cen is a secret weapon guard.

Yang Zhengshan really didn't want to have anything to do with the Secret Guards, but now that things had come to this, there was nothing he could do even if he didn't want to.

The Secret Guards came to his door on their own initiative, could he still chase them away?

"That's right, my mission failed!" Wei Cen said straightforwardly.

Yang Zhengshan withdrew his gaze and looked at the book in his hand.

Let him take down Xu Wanfu?
With these crimes, if he wanted to take down Xu Wanfu, he could do so at any time. And the Secret Guard sent him this thing because they wanted him to take down Xu Wanfu.

As for whether he would act according to the arrangements of the Secret Guards, there was no doubt that he would definitely do so.

Because he wanted to control the garrison, he had to capture Xu Wanfu first.

The Secret Guards also knew this, so they sent this thing to him.

So what is the purpose of the Secret Guard?
It was definitely not to capture Xu Wanfu. Xu Wanfu alone was not worth the Secret Guards' effort.

"I would like you to bring a message to Eunuch Lu!"

Wei Cen remained silent.

Yang Zhengshan ignored him and said to himself: "I don't mind serving the Secret Guard, but since the Secret Guard can use me, I should know what to do."

Naturally, Yang Zhengshan was unwilling to help Lu Hua.

But he didn't have the courage to refuse.

Even Zhou Lan has given in, what else can he do?
"you can go now!"

After saying that, Yang Zhengshan waved his hand, indicating that Wei Cen could leave.

Wei Cen remained silent. He clasped his fists towards Yang Zhengshan and bowed, then left quietly.

Then, the candle in the room was blown out, and Yang Zhengshan sat in the darkness, stroking the book in his hand.

……

The next morning.

Yang Zhengshan had just finished his training when the little girl Yang Qingwan came over again.

This girl hasn't forgotten that Yang Zhengshan said he would take her out to play today.

"Grandpa~~"

A soft and sticky voice sounded, and Yang Zhengshan looked at the little girl helplessly.

The little girl was clinging to him more and more, holding onto his legs and refusing to let go, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

Yang Zhengshan had no choice but to pick her up.

"You can go out and play, but at least let grandpa wash up!"

Yang Qingwan's eyes sparkled, "Grandpa, Grandpa, go wash up!"

This girl was really bored, and when she heard Yang Zhengshan say he wanted to take her out to play, she clapped her hands excitedly.

There was nothing else Yang Zhengshan could do but turn around and go back into the house, wash up, and change into clean clothes.

"Go ahead, bring Chengye and Mingzhe here as well!"

Yang Zhengshan instructed Wu Hai.

Driving one sheep is the same as driving three sheep.

Since I'm taking the little girl out to play, I naturally can't ignore my eldest grandson and my little apprentice.

"Yes, little one, let's make arrangements now!"

Wu Hai responded quickly.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Chengye came over with Wang Mingzhe.

"Grandpa, are we going out to play?"

This kid is also a playful person, but Wang Mingzhe is more honest.

No, Wang Mingzhe cannot be described as honest, he should be described as lazy.

Wang Mingzhe is really lazy. He is the type of person who would rather sit than lie down, and would rather stand than sit.

His sister is incredibly diligent, but he is incredibly lazy.

"Zhe'er greets the Master!" Although Wang Mingzhe is lazy, he is still very obedient to Yang Zhengshan.

Then, Yang Zhengshan took the children out.

They took a horse-drawn carriage to Fu'an Street, the busiest street in Anyuan City.

Fu'an Street is considered the commercial street of Anyuan City. There are all kinds of goods on both sides of the street. Even though it is freezing cold now, it cannot stop the bustling atmosphere on the street.

In the carriage, the two little guys were so excited watching the lively scene on the street that they couldn't control themselves.

Why two and not three?

Because Wang Mingzhe fell asleep leaning on Yang Zhengshan.

Looking at Wang Mingzhe who was sleeping soundly, Yang Zhengshan suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to bring him out.

The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant. Wu Hai placed a bench next to the carriage first. The four soldiers accompanying him looked around vigilantly.

It was impossible for Yang Zhengshan to travel alone, especially since he had three children with him, so he took four soldiers with him.

These four soldiers were wearing cotton-padded jackets and shorts, and looked like servants or domestic servants.

Yang Chengye and Yang Qingwan had already jumped off the carriage impatiently, but Yang Zhengshan wrapped Wang Mingzhe in a cloak and carried him out of the carriage.

It was freezing outside and the boy fell asleep again. In order to prevent him from catching a cold, Yang Zhengshan could only hold him in his arms.

"Damn, my master acts like a nanny!"

Yang Zhengshan looked up at the restaurant sign.

Fortune House!
This name sounds very nice.

It is said that this restaurant is the best restaurant in Anyuan City, and many of the ingredients used are shipped from Qizhou.

The winter in Chongshan Town is cold and long. Once winter comes, there are almost no vegetables to eat.

It is difficult for ordinary restaurants to get fresh vegetables. Only those restaurants that can purchase from Qizhou City can
Get fresh vegetables.

The winter in Qizhou is also very cold, but Qizhou City is the gathering place of water and land transportation in Liaodong area. Merchants traveling from south to north will stop in Qizhou City, and merchants from the south will bring some fruits and vegetables that are not available in Liaodong.

Although long-distance transportation will cause many of these fruits and vegetables to rot, as long as they can be transported here, the price will be several times or even dozens of times that of the south.

Therefore, many merchants from the south would transport some fruits and vegetables to Qizhou City in winter.

If people in Anyuan City want to eat these fruits and vegetables, they can only go to Qizhou City to purchase them.

As you enter Fuyun Building, you are greeted by a noisy atmosphere.

Wu Hai went up to the waiter and asked for a private room facing the street.
