"King of the county, Chang'an urgent report!" In Xijiang, Yiliu hurriedly walked into the study with a pigeon letter, and glanced at Le Yangwen and several other staff members in charge of civilian affairs who were originally discussing in the study.

Rong Sleeping Crane waited for them to go out, and then asked while taking the pigeon letter: "What's the matter, even Mr. Le Yang can't listen to them?"

As he spoke, he had already opened the pigeon letter, and his face sank, "When did this rumor start?

"Chang'an is still investigating, it is said that Old Lady Sheng and the Marquis of Ningwei Mansion have helped, but the people behind the scenes seem to have the tacit approval of the Meng family and the Gaomi Palace, so it is impossible to determine the real source for the time being. Yiliu's expression was solemn, "This rumor is really ill-intentioned and can be punished, if it is left unchecked, sooner or later it will spread to the western Xinjiang and disturb the morale of the army!"

When she said this, she hesitated, but still said it, "This urgent report was sent back by one of the two people left in Chang'an by the Wuyi battalion, the sea lord...... The slave maid said that Gongsun Shu was there, and it seemed that his attitude was a little ambiguous. However, at present, it can only be determined that it is a few subordinates of Gongsun Shu, and some of them have the intention of listening to rumors, and as for Gongsun Shu himself, he has not yet expressed his position. ”

"......" Rong Sleepy Crane pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke, "This rumor is not good, it is because it sees the disadvantages of Gu who has just started now, and intends to shake Gu's foundation! In this case, I am afraid that all the things that are circulating outside are small roads, and eighty percent of them have evidence and other things, and they have been sent to the eldest brother, otherwise the people under the eldest brother are not fools, how can they listen to the wind and rain? So don't doubt each other, first find out the ins and outs is serious!"

Yi Liu was embarrassed: "King of the county, when we came to Western Xinjiang before, we almost completely transferred the people originally arranged in Chang'an. The only two left are still dormant for a long time, used for emergency contact, and they are easy not to act, so as not to arouse suspicion. Although it is not impossible to let them track down at this time, it is just that when they first kept people, they chose to be good at lurking, and this rash transmission of news is already a risk of exposure, and they are not very good at the bottom of the question, and they are not very good at it, and if they are in vain, they will be in vain......."

He also said, "And it's not that the slave and maid deliberately provoke the relationship between the prince and Gongsun Shu, it's just that when the old sea lord was here, how good he was to Gongsun Shu, who of us on Tortoiseshell Island doesn't know? Their father and son have a deep relationship, and this kind of thing is also unclear." In the opinion of the slave maid, it is better to guard against the grandson from now on. ”

Biting his lower lip, his voice was low, "Also, the marriage between Gongsun Yingdun and Wu Da Dang's family was delayed because of the war, and now Wu Da Dang's family has gone to Northern Xinjiang to protect the princess of the county." The slave maid felt that this matter had not been resolved at the moment, and the king of the county might as well let the marriage between Wu Da and Gongsun Yingdun be temporarily suspended, so as not to embarrass Wu Da in the future!"

It's no wonder that she wants to suggest this, because this rumor is too bad: Gongsun Tu, the old sea lord of Tortoiseshell Island, was successfully intercepted and killed by the Han and Pan families in the first place, because Rong Sleeping Crane sought the fourth generation of the Gongsun family's inheritance, so he secretly betrayed the whereabouts of the old sea lord!

In fact, the main reason why Gongsun Lao Haizhu died in battle was indeed because of the betrayal of the traitor.

It's just that from the death of the old sea lord to the present, the people on Tortoiseshell Island believe that the traitor is Gongsun Shu's uncle, and the reason is nothing more than wanting to take advantage of Gongsun Shu's youth to seize the position of sea lord.

After all, after Gongsun Lao Haizhu went, didn't those people do this?

As for Rong Sleeping Crane, no one has ever doubted him: if he hadn't fought bloodily to save Gongsun Shu, Gongsun Yingjiang, Gongsun Yingdun and his son, Gongsun Old Sea Lord's vein would be extinct!

For this, he paid the price of nine deaths, if it weren't for Sheng Lanci cherishing his talents and helping, I was afraid that he would have escaped alive at that time, and he would have died later because of his injuries and lack of timely diagnosis and treatment!

If he betrayed Gongsun Lao Haizhu, would he still be so desperate?

But the person who spread the rumors at this time obviously knew what happened very well, so he questioned it very well: first, Gongsun Tu, the old sea lord, had no calculation in his life, and his enemies were all over the shore of the sea, so he was killed a long time ago without any vigilance. In this case, the person who accurately obtained his whereabouts and passed it on to Han Pan without knowing it would definitely not be some inconsequential subordinate, and he would definitely have an extraordinary identity.

Gongsun Tu's brothers, although they were generally well-behaved when Gongsun Tu was alive, Gongsun Tu may not trust them.

There is a good evidence of this, that is, these uncles and uncles, after the death of Gongsun Tu, when they tried to seize the position of sea lord, although they temporarily gained the upper hand, but after Gongsun Shu borrowed the shareholder wind of the Sheng family, they almost turned their hands and destroyed them.

It can be seen that when Gongsun Tu was alive, they actually did not have a lot of power, let alone establish a deep foundation, otherwise even if Gongsun Shu got the support of the Sheng family through Rong Sleeping Crane, it would be impossible to eradicate them so easily.

Compared to these people, Rong Sleeping Crane, who is the son of Gongsun Tuyizi, is even more suspicious!

After all, although Rong Sleeping Crane is not very popular with Gongsun Tu, he is very trusted by Gongsun Shu.

Especially as the leader of the Wuyi Battalion, he and his henchman Gongsun Xi are very good at hidden assassinations, and they have a natural advantage in spying on news and transmitting information.

Second, Sheng Weiqiao, the princess of Mizhen County, was in distress at sea, and Xu Baomo, the prince of Ningwei Hou, who was traveling with him at that time, both fell into the hands of the young master of the Han family. If it weren't for the sleeping crane to arrive in time to save people, the consequences would be unimaginable!

So the question is, in the vast sea, how did Rong Sleeping Crane know that Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo were in distress, so they turned back in time to save people?

And there is another suspicious place, that is, at that time, the tortoiseshell island was besieged by Han Pan, and the situation was very critical.

As the son of Gongsun Tuyi and the younger brother of Gongsun Shuyi, since they all rushed back to Tortoiseshell Island with injuries for reinforcements, when they met Han Shaozhu on the road, they didn't plan to stay alive, so as to bargain with Han and fight for a chance to breathe for Tortoiseshell Island, but shot him directly, wouldn't it be very suspicious?

Because he is simply a person who colludes with the Han family, the so-called timely rescue of people is just a hero who has colluded with the Han family to save the United States, and the purpose is nothing more than to get the gratitude of the Sheng and Xu families at the same time, and to integrate into the Sheng family faster.

Later, the upper echelons of the Han family were slaughtered, of course, because Gongsun Shu avenged his father, who knows if it was also the handiwork of Rong Sleeping Crane who secretly promoted?

After all, at that time, he took the credit of saving Gongsun Shu's father and son and the dual identity of the future of Tortoiseshell Island, and his status on the island was transcendent, that is, Gongsun Shu, the new sea lord, was also interested in him, he asked to kill all the upper echelons of the Han family, and now he has a reason to feel sorry for his father-in-law, who can say anything? Who would doubt it?

As for saying that revenge with Han Pan was Gongsun Shu himself, Rong Sleeping Crane didn't go at all, why didn't the Han people say Rong Sleeping Crane, this is also very easy to explain, would Rong Sleeping Crane be stupid enough to reveal his identity to the Han family? He must have borrowed someone else's name.

Maybe it's the members of the Gongsun clan who were killed by Gongsun Shu before the battle on Tortoiseshell Island?

Even if the Han family guessed the truth, how could Gongsun Shu believe it at that time? It must be thought that the Han family was unwilling to fail and deliberately instigated to take revenge on Rong Sleeping Crane who saved himself and his children.

Third, Rong Sleeping Crane has a very good reason to murder Gongsun Lao Haizhu.

Because he had a criminal record before, he was once accepted as a righteous son by Gongsun Lao Haizhu with him, and he died a miserable death, and Rong Sleeping Crane was the first suspect!

And the one who caused the death of that righteous brother was that he had bullied the young Rong Sleeping Crane many times.

Gongsun Lao Haizhu didn't want to take Sleeping Crane as his righteous son, but it was just his own son Gongsun Shu's request, so he reluctantly agreed.

Because of this, he was very careless about Rong Sleeping Crane, and he didn't really look at it as a son, but the righteous son who Rong Sleeping Crane was in danger and murdered was his only son in the old department, and he loved and took care of him very much.

So if Rong Sleeping Crane can kill his brother who treats him badly, why can't he kill his father-in-law who is indifferent to him?

The most important thing is that at that time, the Gongsun clan was ready to go ashore.

This preparation is to say that the future is pointed at Rong Sleeping Crane, but if Gongsun Lao Haizhu is alive, the identity of the righteous father and the nurturing grace of Rong Sleeping Crane, and the degree of domination over this righteous son, how can Gongsun Shu, a peer, be compared?

In that case, the tortoiseshell island may not be all attached to Rong Sleeping Crane, not to mention pressing him, at least it is also on an equal footing, and it will only be discussed in case of trouble.

…… As for Rong Sleeping Crane's noble identity, it is not at all comparable to that of a bandit after defecting to the Cheng Imperial Court, Rong Sleeping Crane didn't keep saying that he didn't have the memory of his childhood, and he didn't know his life experience at all?

In this case, without the aura of the children of the clan, he can only rely on himself, even if the champion enters the office, the starting point is not high, maybe the grade is still under the old sea lord of Gongsun!

He had a grudge against his father-in-law, and was worried that he would become his own cage in the future, so he made the first move, killed the old sea lord ......of Gongsun at the same time, and personally rescued Gongsun Shu's father and son, and achieved his reputation of "knowing his kindness"; In the end, he even married Sheng Lanci's pearl, and got the financial support of the three families of Nanfeng County and the Jiangnan Luo family in one fell swoop!

It's a brilliant strategy to kill several birds with one stone!

"Who is the specific person who is the host of this rumor or it still needs to be investigated, but the source, or the participants, can be known without asking, it must be the King of Gaomi!" Rong Sleeping Crane closed his eyes, thought for a moment, opened them, and said lightly, "After all, the origin of Lone and Tortoiseshell Island, the Meng family, has never known." These details are known only to King Gaomi!"

"And Princess Gaomi, remember that the princess of the county and Xu Baomo were taken captive by the young master of Han, she sent someone to inquire with the princess of the county's aunt? ”

"But Gongsun Shu's side may not be innocent!" Yiliu said immediately, "If it weren't for them to provide details, how could King Gaomi's side know so much about it?"

Rong Sleepy Crane shook his head and said, "When King Gaomi sent people to Nanfeng County to track down Gu's details earlier, Gu instructed the Tortoiseshell Island side to reveal some details, so this cannot be used as evidence that the eldest brother betrayed me. No matter what outsiders think of the relationship between Gongsun and Gu, in Gu's opinion, the eldest brother is indeed kind to Gu. What's more, the death of the old sea lord is indeed a little suspicious, and it has not been clarified. ”

"It's true that Lone doesn't have a deep relationship with the old sea lord, and he doesn't care about it very much. But the old sea lord poured out his heart and lungs for the eldest brother, but the eldest brother must not forget it. ”

Originally, Gu thought that after Gu trained the Xijiang Jingqi and completely gained a foothold, he would free up his hands to help the eldest brother investigate thoroughly. ”

"Now it's time for Chang'an to catch the opportunity. ”

He said slowly, "Since the Sheng family and the Xu family have helped, and please worry about this matter, there is actually nothing to justify this kind of thing, outsiders probably don't know the truth, how to distinguish evidence from forgery? And it's none of their business, it's just a coax...... After all, Lone had just repelled Ruru, and their prestige in the Western Xinjiang was growing, and they hadn't reached the point where they were completely shameless, so they had to find a cover. ”

Yi Liu said hatefully: "These old thieves, they only care about intrigue, they don't care about the life or death of the people, and the king of the county is born and dead, not only do they not even have a good word, but they also have to deal with you vigorously!

"Lone now writes two letters, and you ask someone to send them to Chang'an immediately. Rong Sleepy Crane waved her hand, signaling her not to be carried away by anger, "Wait for Huigu to write a letter to the northern frontier, so as not to make the princess of the county uneasy when she hears it...... In fact, these are nothing, all the ups and downs, but I don't want to take root and develop in the western Xinjiang alone! The more this is the case, the better we will keep an eye on the western Xinjiang and never give them any chance!"

He narrowed his eyes, "In the future, there will always be a time to settle accounts!"
