Next, under the escort of more than 1,000 soldiers led by Zhang An, the people of the General's Mansion finally completed the sacrifice to the sky safely, and then returned to Liaoyang City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Dong Xiaoyou was originally worried that Gongsun Fang would make trouble for her today, but after Gongsun Fang was almost killed, she was still very scared all day, but she seemed unusually quiet. However, after such a catastrophe, naturally everyone had palpitations, and the whole ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was too nervous, but there was nothing wrong.

After Dong Xiaoyou returned home, he was busy for a while: arranging for the injured to seek medical treatment, collecting the bodies, and distributing money to each family of the deceased. After dealing with these, Dong Xiaoyou instructed Ah Chu to visit Qili in Haosheng.

The next day, Dong Xiaoyou received several key officials in Liaoyang City in the main hall of the General's Mansion. The officials who came were nothing more than to say that they had come to visit their wives on behalf of the major scholars in Youzhou, and some people also came to ask for some information about the assassins. However, considering that they were all members of the Shi clan, not Liu Yi's henchmen, Dong Xiaoyou did not talk to them deeply, but only thanked them politely.

After these officials left, Zhang An entered the main hall, his appearance was still delicate and handsome, but his expression was very serious, and he respectfully saluted Dong Xiaoyu: "The last general, Zhang An, has seen Mrs. ”

Dong Xiaoyou closed the curtain and returned the salute: "The concubine has seen General Zhang, and I invited General Zhang to sit down and talk in detail." ”

After Zhang An sat down, he spoke: "Madam, the last general has already investigated the origin of this group of assassins in detail, and most of them are not the people of my great man. ”

"Aliens?" Dong Xiaoyou leaned forward and straightened up, "Could it be that these people are assassins sent by the Xianbei people?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, there is a certain difference between the appearance of the Xianbei people and our Han people, but the last general has already made people carefully examine the corpse, but the appearance of the corpse is not much different from our Han people."

"It's not much of a difference...... Dong Xiaoyu muttered, "Could it be that the people of the Shi family are privately raising private soldiers?" "Since Emperor Huan, there have been many natural and man-made disasters for decades, and many refugees who have lost their homes and relatives have been raised by large families in various places in the form of domestic slaves and private soldiers, and these people have not been reported to local officials in various places. Therefore, if you want to track it down, they are simply "black households" who have no hukou in the future world. In this way, the scope of suspicion expanded, and Dong Xiaoyu frowned.

"The last general will not dare to assert." Zhang An replied very honestly, "It's just that the day of the General's Mansion to go out to worship the heavens, there are still routes, and even when to set off from the Mansion...... Presumably, the group of assassins seemed to know all about it. ”

Dong Xiaoyou gently held his chin with his hand, there are too many people who are suspicious. Zhang An's words made it clear that there may be internal ghosts hidden in the general's mansion and even in Liaoyang City, but there is no way to find out at the moment. After all, there are nearly a thousand subordinates in the entire general's mansion, and it is difficult to thoroughly investigate them one by one. Moreover, it may not be that there are ghosts among the subordinates in the general's mansion, as long as they know the scholars of Liaoyang City, most of them know very well the route of worshipping the sky. And as long as anyone has financial resources, they can quickly find out the time when the general's palace went out of the city.

Although Dong Xiaoyou mainly cast her suspicious eyes on the people of the Shi clan in Youzhou, she also understood that the Xianbei people were not without suspicion, because there were also some Han people who escaped from the Han Dynasty in the Xianbei tribe as "traitors". And the worst case is: Will there be anyone in the Shi clan in Youzhou who colludes with the Xianbei people?

“…… The concubine understands, General Zhang, you have been tracking down for a day and a night, and it is really hard for you. Dong Xiaoyou thanked Zhang An.

A smile appeared on Zhang An's cold face: "The last general has followed the prince for many years, and it is the duty of the last general to protect his wife and protect the palace." As long as these assassins can be traced, it will be worth it even if the last general is tired to death, and Madame does not need to be so polite. ”

Dong Xiaoyou nodded: There are many loyal and brave people around Liu Yi, not only Ah Chu, Qili and others in his own mansion, but also many officials outside the mansion who lead troops to fight. can have so many excellent subordinates working hard for him, it seems that this Liu Yi is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. It's just that why have I never heard of such a wise prince in the last years of the Han Dynasty? I thought that Liaodong would be a safe and peaceful place, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to organize such a large-scale assassination in secret. Thankfully, they failed this time, but what about next time? What about next time? Dong Xiaoyou had already learned from Biluo and the others that there was a powerful person with superb swordsmanship among the killers, and that must be a potential threat. Regardless of whether the other party is only staring at Gongsun Fang's body, it must be a big trouble.

Gongsun Fang? Dong Xiaoyou's eyes suddenly widened: By the way, why did you assassinate Gongsun Fang? When Gongsun Fang dies, who will be the biggest beneficiary? If, because of the death of Gongsun Fang, the prince broke up with the scholars of Youzhou, the prince would not be able to establish a firm foothold in Youzhou, then those foreigners who are eyeing Youzhou will definitely be able to take this opportunity to invade Youzhou in one fell swoop. Secondly, when the prince arrives in Youzhou, will it have caused some local scholars to have negative emotions? Dong Xiaoyou knows very well in his heart: not everyone in Youzhou will support King Luling, if the prince arrives in Youzhou, it will prompt some people from Youzhou to join forces with Xianbei people?

Dong Xiaoyou's face became more and more ugly, and the more she thought about it, the more she found that the situation in front of her was extremely chaotic. Presumably, the prince must have guessed that he was attacked by assassins when he was holding a banquet in the General's Mansion, and he had already attracted the attention of the prince at that time, right? Fortunately, in the past few months, apart from these two assassinations, there has been no other turmoil. Looking at this situation, most of the scholars in Youzhou are still on the side of the prince.

No matter what, the enemy is in the dark, and there is only one way to take strict precautions and not give people any chance. When the prince defeated the Xianbei people and returned to Liaoyang with great military achievements, presumably those clowns who jumped off the beam would no longer dare to be disobedient. Moreover, now that they have planned such a well-planned assassination failure, no one should act rashly in a short period of time. Of course, the guard-taking of the General's Mansion cannot be relaxed.

After Dong Xiao figured it out, he opened his mouth: "General, the matter of the assassin, the concubine is just a woman's family, it is inconvenient to interfere more, and you have to work hard for the general." ”

"In addition, if the general finds out some eyebrows, don't do anything for the time being, just report the news to the concubine. The prince is now inseparable from the front line, we should also share his worries, and it is not appropriate to use assassins to distract him. What do you think? Dong Xiaoyou really wanted to be a delicious and lazy rice worm, but now that the assassins had already killed her twice, it was impossible for her to stop asking, and no one wanted a sharp sword hanging on her head at any time. Although Liu Yi is more reliable, it is difficult to save the fire from far away, and if Dong Xiaoyou wants to save her life, she must understand the dynamics of the major families in Youzhou City more than before, and she must find out who is most likely to murder her.

"Madame understands righteousness and will be greatly admired by the general." Zhang An arched his hand, "The matter of the assassin, please rest assured that my wife will hand it over to the last man to investigate." ”

Dong Xiaoyou asked again: "General Zhang, in a few days, the concubine is going to go out of the mansion, according to you, if there is such a big thing as an assassin, which mansion is more suitable for the concubine to visit first?" ”

Zhang An heard this, and looked at Dong Xiaoyou seriously, although she couldn't see her face clearly through the curtain, Zhang An still remembered that she had seen Mrs. Rong with her own eyes, when she was just a girl less than fifteen years old. Although the prince appreciates her very much, Zhang An has always thought that she is just a woman, just a person who can give birth to children for the prince. Unexpectedly, this girl dared to propose to visit the family of scholars in the city immediately after the assassin's incident. This is clearly an espionage, and she is really a bold woman. Zhang An's eyes showed a hint of unhappiness: he hated women who made their own decisions, and in his mind, the prejudice of women's shallow knowledge was already ingrained. Even if there is any change among the scholars in the city, it should be something that the prince has come back to deal with, how can it be her turn to intervene as a young woman?

"Madam, now that the prince is outside, the situation in the city is unstable, and the general thinks that Madame should still stay in the mansion. Even if there are any ill intentions, the lady is safe in the house. If Mrs. has a chance outside, then even if the prince returns triumphantly, he will secretly hurt himself, and please think twice. The implication of his words was to dissuade Dong Xiaoyou from leaving the house, and he also blamed Dong Xiaoyou a little bit for not thinking about the prince.

Dong Xiaoyou naturally understood what he meant, but it was too passive to let her entrust everything to someone else. Dong Xiaoyou, who came out of the Wang family, already understands that only when he is in power can he live a clear life. If you want to leave everything to someone else to make decisions for you, you are afraid that you will be confused until you die. How can a person who can not even care about himself allow others to put himself in his shoes?

"General Zhang," Dong Xiaoyou's tone became a little heavier, "Xuansu County is the foundation of the prince's establishment in Youzhou, and Liaoyang City is the center of Xuanwu County. If there is an accident in Liaoyang City, it will hurt the foundation of the prince, the prince is now far away from the front line, and since the concubine is the wife of the prince, she can't help but share the worries of the prince. ”

Zhang An was not convinced, but out of etiquette, he couldn't say anything more, just looked at Dong Xiaoyou with a little unwillingness, and bowed his head again.

Dong Xiaoyou understands that Zhang An will not be obedient, but now is not the time to worry about him. She understands that since Liu Yi dares to lead the army to fight in the distance, then he must still have a back hand in the city, and Zhang An is probably just one of his henchmen. Some people are afraid that they will not show up until necessary.

However, when the assassination was on her head, she could no longer stay out of it. How many people in the Shi clan in Youzhou are dissatisfied with Liu Yi, it is necessary for her to investigate.

After Zhang An retreated, Dong Xiaoyou got up from the couch in the front hall with Biluo's hand, since she had already released a message to Zhang An, she would go out of the mansion to meet the major scholars in a few days, so presumably Zhang An would definitely reveal some news to her in these few days. Even if the assassin's investigation did not progress, Zhang An would give her an answer, she didn't believe that after so many months, Zhang An and these people would not know at all who were dissatisfied with the prince.

And then...... Dong Xiaoyou naturally has one more thing that needs to be completed in these few days: is there any ghost in the house? Although it is a bit troublesome to thoroughly investigate one by one... However, most of the subordinates in the palace were bought a few months ago, and then they were Liu Yi's old subordinates. Which people can trust it, and which people can't, Dong Xiaoyou still has points in his heart. It is impossible for the general's mansion to be as watertight as an iron plate, and since the assassin can have the financial resources to raise and arm so many dead soldiers, it is not difficult to buy a few subordinates in the mansion.

The geese left traces, Dong Xiaoyou gritted her teeth gently: she still doesn't believe it, as long as she investigates carefully, she will definitely be able to find out some problems. The scholars outside don't say much, at least they can't let some spies stay in the general's mansion.

"Bailing," Dong Xiaoyou opened his mouth and ordered, "Go and call the big butler Bai, Ah Chu, and a few other people in charge." Qili doesn't need to, that girl is still injured. Moreover, Dong Xiaoyou, out of his understanding of Ah Chu and Qili, can trust Qili for the time being. It's time to clean up the moles.
