Du Qi's eyes were sharp, he said, "I need you to dig deep into Zhang Qucheng's information, especially from the time Zhang Qucheng returned to Chang 'an from the battle of Hebei, what Zhang Qucheng did during this period. We have to get all the information we can. "
Zhang Jingping patted his chest and said, "Gongzi, please rest assured, I guarantee to complete the mission. Don't worry, even if it's Zhang Qucheng's eating, drinking, defecating, I will investigate clearly for you. "
"That's good," Du Qi said.
Zhang Jingping suddenly said, "Gongzi, there's something I don't know whether I should say or not."
Du Qi said, "In front of me, you and I are not outsiders, there's no harm in saying it."
After a moment of silence, Zhang Jingping finally said, "Gongzi's father, Du Ruhui, serves the Qin Wang. Logically speaking, Gongzi should also serve the Qin Wang. Zhang Qucheng betrayed the Qin Wang and joined the Eastern Palace, becoming a Eastern Palace man. Gongzi secretly investigated Zhang Qucheng's information, does this mean that Gongzi is now officially serving the Qin Wang? "
"Yes!" Du Qi said.
He did not conceal anything, he answered directly.
Actually, many people knew that he served the Qin Wang. After all, helping the Qin Wang was equivalent to helping his father.
Actually, Li Yuan was also more or less clear that Du Qi stood on Li Shimin's side. It was precisely because of this that when Du Ruhui was transferred north from Chang 'an to Daizhou, Li Yuan had a family member accompanying him.
He was worried that Du Qi would stand on Li Shimin's side.
This was not a secret.
However, in everybody's eyes, although Du Qi stood on Li Shimin's side, helping the Qin Wang, it did not necessarily mean that Du Qi was serving Li Shimin.
These were two different concepts.
Zhang Jingping suddenly said, "Gongzi, I don't understand fighting and killing on the battlefield, I don't understand the art of governing a country, so much so that I don't even have the least bit of knowledge, I only know some simple characters."
"My appearance is also quite scary."
"It's just that after being in this position for a long time, greed gradually grew in my heart, even more greed, wanting to climb up. I know this is a bit insatiable, it's just that after being in this position for so long, I suddenly feel that it's actually just like this. "
"That's why I want to rely on the Duke of Qin's estate and become someone who works for the Duke of Qin. But I don't know if Duke of Qin will take me in if I'm of no use to him. "
Zhang Jingping said, "Young Master, please give me some pointers on this matter."
"Hahaha …"
Du Qi laughed when he heard that.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingping asked, "Young Master, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me for overestimating myself? "
"Of course not!"
Du Qi shook his head and said, "I'm laughing because you, Zhang Jingping, are now a big shot in Chang 'an. If he stamped his feet, the whole city of Chang 'an would tremble and remember it. Why are you so unconfident? "
Zhang Jingping said, "Young Master, I just said that I don't study and have no knowledge. I only know how to kill people. Now, managing the brothers under his command was actually based on the spirit of loyalty. But in the officialdom, there is no such thing as loyalty. What is needed is the ability to command soldiers in battle and the ability to govern. Unfortunately, I don't know any of these. "
Du Qi said, "Although you don't know any of these, you have control over the underground forces of Chang 'an. For King Qin's Mansion, this is an extremely important link. It can be said that you are aware of any movement in Chang 'an now. You are extremely important to King Qin's Mansion. "
"Really?"
Zhang Jingping was a little excited at this time.
Du Qi said, "Of course."
Zhang Jingping said, "I believe you, Young Master. But if I want to pledge allegiance to King Qin's Mansion, I need you to pull the strings."
Du Qi said, "It's not difficult for you to pledge allegiance to King Qin's Mansion. But, Supreme Chief, can I trust you? "
Zhang Jingping said, "Please rest assured, Young Master. Although I don't know much, I am hot-blooded and I pay attention to loyalty. If I violate any law or discipline, or even go back on my word after pledging allegiance to King Qin's Mansion, or even betray King Qin's Mansion, I will die a horrible death and go to the eighteenth level of hell after death. "
"Good!"
Du Qi said seriously, "I believe you."
Zhang Jingping's rugged face broke into a smile. He knew full well that this was a routine procedure. Du Qi represented King Qin's Mansion, so he had to ask.
Du Qi said again, "Zhang Jingping, listen to my orders!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Zhang Jingping cupped his fists in reply.
Du Qi said in a low voice, "In view of your abilities and your situation, I appoint you as the vice marshal of King Qin's Mansion."
"Vice marshal of King Qin's Mansion?"
Zhang Jingping was a little surprised, but still cupped his fists. "This humble one obeys."
Then, Zhang Jingping's pupils suddenly shrank. He said seriously, "Young Master, you called yourself this official just now. Originally, I thought that Young Master stood on Qin Wang's side because of Steward Du. Could it be that you are also an official of King Qin's Mansion? "
"Yes!"
Du Qi replied.
Hiss!
Zhang Jingping sucked in a breath.
He didn't expect there to be such a relationship. Du Qi had been working for King Qin's Mansion for a long time. No one outside knew about this. They only knew that Du Qi was a fifth-rank Lantian county official conferred by the Emperor.
They didn't know that Du Qi held a position in King Qin's Mansion.
Zhang Jingping recovered and said, "Young Master, I also have some information. As far as I know, you don't have an official position in King Qin's Mansion. No one in King Qin's Mansion seems to know of your existence. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "Only King Qin and a very small number of people know that I work for him."
Zhang Jingping nodded.
He finally understood.
Zhang Jingping suddenly said, "Young Master, what is the position of the vice marshal of King Qin's Mansion? There doesn't seem to be such a position in King Qin's Mansion of Heavenly Strategies. "
Du Qi said in a low voice, "The vice marshal of King Qin's Mansion is in charge of intelligence. His organization is called the King Qin's Mansion, and his subordinates are called the King Qin's Mansion. The person in charge is called the King Qin's Mansion. As the vice marshal, you are second only to the King Qin's Mansion. You are in charge of assisting the King Qin's Mansion. "
Zhang Jingping understood as soon as he heard this.
Responsible for intelligence.
This was an extremely crucial part.
Wait!
At this moment, Zhang Jingping stared at Du Qi and said, "Young Master, are you the King Qin's Mansion?"
"Yes!"
Du Qi nodded in reply.
Zhang Jingping was shocked again because Du Qi was already in charge of intelligence for the entire King Qin's Mansion at such a young age. Of course, with Du Qi's ability, he was naturally competent.
Zhang Jingping recovered and said happily, "It's great to be able to work for Young Master and work for King Qin. People like me are familiar with people from all walks of life and know some information. It's not a problem to inquire about information for King Qin. "
Du Qi said, "Zhang Jingping, don't belittle yourself. You're not a weak person. You have a big net in Chang 'an and can quickly inquire about information. It's very good. "
Zhang Jingping said, "Jingping will remember Young Master's teachings."
Du Qi said, "But I have to tell you that the King Qin's Mansion's Mansion is temporarily hidden in the dark. Your identity will also be unknown. No one will know. Now, even if you pledge allegiance to King Qin, you're only the leader of Chang 'an. You can't even tell your family about this. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "You have to guard against any possibility of leaking information. What we're doing is not ordinary. We're helping King Qin to seize the throne. If we fail, we might lose our heads. "
Zhang Jingping said, "Don't worry, Young Master. I know the severity of the matter. Besides, Young Master's identity is now hidden and not announced to the public. I have nothing to say. When King Qin ascends the throne, we can announce our identities. "
"Yes!"
Du Qi nodded in reply.
Zhang Jingping said, "Don't worry, Young Master. I promise to complete the task."
Du Qi said, "I'll wait for your good news."
