Su Changyu said: "Sir, do you think there is something strange in this?" ”

"General Zhonglang, who ambushed the old Marquis of Yuwen?" The white shopkeeper asked.

"Zhen Jun Wolf Ride!"

"Today's assassination of Changren is a child of the Fan Jun family." The white shopkeeper chuckled and said: "The two marquis were assassinated by the Xiling people, and there is another real murderer behind the wolf rider, and there must be someone behind this Liu Tianhe." ”

Su Changyu quickly understood something: "What does Mr. mean is that the person who instructed the wolf rider and Liu Tianhe is likely to be the same person?" He stopped his horse and said, "I'll go and bring Liu Tianhe back now, and ask him about the real culprit behind the scenes." ”

"General Zhonglang is here to reorganize the army, and it is not within the responsibility of General Zhonglang to arrest the murderer." The white shopkeeper said: "And Liu Tianhe is a child of the Fanjun family, they will not easily hand over Liu Tianhe to you, and if you forcibly ask for it, it will also break the rules." ”

Su Changyu said: "If the real murderer who instructed Liu Tianhe and the person who instructed the wolf to ambush Chang Yihou are the same person, then from Liu Tianhe's mouth, you can find out who the real murderer is behind the scenes, so that you can also find the murderer who murdered Chang Yihou." ”

The white shopkeeper said: "Chang Renhou is here, and he will naturally interrogate in detail, but I guess there is a chance that he will not be able to ask the result." ”

"Oh?" Su Changyu was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"The reason is very simple, if the real murderer behind the scenes can be tried so easily, then the real murderer will not send Liu Tianhe to assassinate." Qin Xiao's voice suddenly came from the side: "The real murderer must have caught Liu Tianhe's handle, so that Liu Tianhe would even risk his life to assassinate Chang Renhou." But nine times out of ten, Liu Tianhe didn't know who the person who instructed him to assassinate him was, so the real murderer was not worried about what Liu Tianhe could confess. ”

Su Changyu glanced at Qin Xiao, but he also admitted that what Qin Xiao said was not bad.

"In fact, it is not difficult to guess the real murderer." The white shopkeeper said: "The two things of ambushing the old marquis of Yuwen and the assassin chief Ren Hou, in the final analysis, have only one purpose, which is to make the Xiling family fall into a panic, which will lead to the instability of the situation in Xiling. He raised his hand and stroked his beard, and said lightly: "The purpose of the real murderer is to make the Xiling family suspicious of the imperial court, and they can't even share the same heart with the general." ”

Su Changyu sneered: "If you want to make Xiling chaotic, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Mr. Bai, you said that it is not difficult to guess the real murderer, could it be that you already know who is behind the ghost? ”

The carriage continued to move forward, and Su Changyu rode slowly and followed the window.

The streets were deserted at night, and it was hard to see anyone on the road except for the team heading to the inn.

"Zhonglang will think about it, who is most beneficial to the Xiling chaos and the separation of the family and the imperial court?" The white shopkeeper asked.

Su Changyu said: "Naturally, it is a Vedic person. Don't..... Behind the two incidents, is there a shadow of the Vedas? ”

"This is naturally possible, but Zhonglang will not forget that there is another person who wants Xiling to be in chaos more than the Vedic people." The white shopkeeper said calmly: "Could it be that Zhonglang will forget Murong in Southern Xinjiang?" ”

Su Changyu said: "Yes, the Murong clan naturally hopes that Xiling will be in chaos. ”

"When the general returned to Xiling, the people he was most afraid of were not the Vedas." The white shopkeeper sighed: "The withdrawal of the Vedas from Kunlun Pass was caused by the surprise attack of the generals, and the Vedic Khan was arrested, and the Vedas had to evacuate in desperation. In their hearts, withdrawing from Xiling is not a mistake of war, they do not feel that they are defeated by the Tang army, and to this day, they may not really be afraid of the general and the Tang army. ”

Su Changyu and Qin Xiao both knew that the white shopkeeper's words were not false.

The Wutuo people gathered 100,000 iron horsemen to march eastward, the momentum was huge, after breaking through the Kunlun Pass, they raged in Xiling, and the confrontation with the Tang army, in fact, there was no defeat, and even the Xiling capital was killed under the saber.

At that time, the remnants of the Duhu army were besieged in Heiyang City, and the imperial court was unable to send reinforcements to support, and even blocked Jiayuguan, ready for the Wutuo people to annex Xiling.

If it weren't for General Hei Yu's miracle, Xiling would have already become the territory of the Vedas.

"On the contrary, it is Murong of Southern Xinjiang who has probably received the news of the general's return to Xiling." The white shopkeeper said: "The imperial court has been preparing to go south to conquer the Murong clan all these years, if Xiling returns to the hands of the empire, then the empire will go all out to conquer the southern frontier, of course the Murong clan is panicked." Only by letting Xiling mess up and distracting the attention of the imperial court can it be possible to let southern Xinjiang survive. ”

Su Changyu was thoughtful and noncommittal.

Return to the inn and rest separately.

Early the next morning, Su Changyu sent someone to wake up Qin Xiao, and when he arrived at the front yard, Su Changyu and the cavalry brought into the city were waiting, in addition, there were two people Qin Xiao was not familiar with, but a short and fat middle-aged man arched his hand to Qin Xiao, Su Changyu didn't talk nonsense, and said to the middle-aged man: "Steward Lu, you lead the way!" ”

Qin Xiao remembered that he was going to accept the granary today, which was a big deal, and it was no wonder that Su Changyu woke up early in the morning.

Out of the post house, the group rode to the granary, Su Changyu didn't like to be lively, usually didn't talk much, with him, it was quite dull, all the way to the southwest of the city, and finally arrived at the granary.

Chang Renhou said last night that the grain storage in the granary is enough for 10,000 soldiers and horses to support a year.

Qin Xiao saw that the granary built here was really huge, and under the leadership of the Lu steward, he entered the granary, and more than a dozen empty warehouses were built in this granary, which was full of grain.

"General Zhonglang, most of the storage here is grain." Lu Guan said: "Hou Ye will buy a large amount of grain to store here every year, before it was to prevent a great famine year, when the people have no food to eat, store some food here, if it really suffers a disaster, it can save some is some." These days, the Hou Ye knew that the general was going to reorganize the army in Xiling, and there was no shortage of food, so he spread the word and asked the major wealthy families to make some efforts, and everyone heard that the general was short of food, so he enthusiastically donated. There are sixteen warehouses here, most of which are already full of grain, but there will be grain coming in these days. ”

Although Su Changyu did not smile, his brows were still stretched at this time.

He knew General Hei Yu's difficulties, for the sake of money and food, the general was worried these days, outsiders didn't know, but Su Changyu was clear.

Now that Fan Jun has offered 520,000 military funds, the most important thing is to prepare so much food, and he knows that if the general knows about this, he will be overjoyed.

The Fan family is so dedicated, of course, it is not really to serve the court, in the final analysis, it is to make the court satisfied, as long as the court recognizes the contribution of the Fan family, the Fan family will naturally not have any big trouble.

"Master Hou said, hand over the granary to General Zhonglang today, and the grain here will be handled by you." Steward Lu waved his hand, a scribe came over with the account book, and Steward Lu said respectfully: "General Zhonglang, here are the accounts of the granary, every grain in the warehouse, there are records in the accounts, in addition, the grain sent later, as long as it is registered in the warehouse, it will belong to the general, these account books are handed over to the Zhonglang general, and the villain's errand will be completed." He raised his hand and said, "General Zhonglang, we can start to reconcile the accounts from the first warehouse, and count if there is a shortage of food in the warehouse."

”

Su Changyu said: "No need, since Master Hou has all the arrangements, there will naturally be no problem with the accounts." He took over the accounts with his attendant behind him.

"If that's the case, then this granary will be handed over to General Zhonglang." Steward Lu bowed: "The villain has assigned an errand and will retire first." He also instructed the people around him: "Let the people who guard the granary withdraw immediately, and from now on, the granary will be guarded by the people of the Zhonglang general." ”

Su Changyu knew that this was also a normal procedure, and waited until Steward Lu took people away, and then said: "This granary has front and back doors and side doors, and the three gates must be guarded day and night. Qin Xiao, the granary is extraordinary, I will send someone to report to the general immediately and inform the general of the situation here, and this granary will be handed over to you for protection from today onwards. ”

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm guarding the granary? ”

"Why don't I stay and guard the granary, and you are responsible for reorganizing the troops and horses?" Su Changyu glanced at Qin Xiao,

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "The matter of reorganizing the soldiers and horses is still Zhonglang's general." ”

"I'll leave this errand to you, and you have to be careful." Su Changyu said: "All the dozen or so people brought here will stay and guard the warehouse with you, if anything happens to the granary, you will be the only one to ask." ”

"General Zhonglang, guarding the granary, more than a dozen people, I'm afraid there are not enough people." Qin Xiao said: "At least a dozen people will be sent over." He lowered his voice and said: "There must be spies from the Murong family and the Wutuo people in this city, I am worried that they will sneak in and make trouble if they know that the granary has been handed over to us, in case a spy finds a gap and runs in and sets a fire, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Su Changyu nodded and said, "Your worries are reasonable. You keep guard with these brothers first, and when I return to the camp, I will bring thirty more men. ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that if there were forty or fifty people guarding the granary, there should not be much of a problem.

But staying here every day, it's really a little boring, and thinking that this granary is indeed a key place, Su Changyu handed over the granary to himself, that is really quite important to himself, there is nothing to do, and it doesn't hurt to practice, and said: "Zhonglang General, if I write a list, you can transfer the few people I want to use, and they will be more convenient to use." ”

"Do you think this is a feast and pick what you like?" Su Changyu was expressionless, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Forget it, who are you going to let come?" ”

"Geng Shao, Fat Fish, Dapeng, and Ning Zhifeng, with these four people transferred, I guarantee that the granary is foolproof." Qin Xiao thought that Geng Shao was conscientious and conscientious, and let him follow Shoucang is right-hand man, and the fat fish guys came over, and they could talk, and it would be good to brag and pass the time when the time came.

Su Changyu nodded, put his hands behind his back, and said, "You come with me." Taking Qin Xiao to a secluded place on the side, Qin Xiao was a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Changyu's lips moved slightly, he wanted to speak and stopped, it was strange to say, he always pulled his face as if someone owed him money on weekdays, and at this time, this guy's face was a little red, and even a little embarrassed.

Qin Xiao felt even more strange, feeling that this second brother seemed to have something difficult to talk about, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, we are brothers, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"That ......!" Su Changyu was unprecedentedly embarrassed, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything after all, and said, "It's okay, it's nothing .....!" Turning around to leave, Qin Xiao said strangely behind him: "Second brother, why don't you leave without speaking?" You don't want to borrow money from me, do you? ”

Su Changyu immediately turned around and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know...... Party inconvenient? ”
