Shen Ning conscripted the elite.

He is the great benefactor of Changxi County, the people are grateful to Dai Ze, in order to repay him, countless military households came to apply, within three or four days, almost all the military households in Changshu County came.

So Shen Ning asked Zhang Liao and Lu Xun to be carefully selected, and selected a hundred people, with Lu Xun as the team leader.

wiped out three thieves' villages, and also harvested a lot of silver.

A small part was sent to the Changxi County Decree to be expressed, a part was sent to the Southeast Palace, and the remaining large part was distributed to Shen Ning's subordinates.

Shen Ning said that the rewards and punishments are clear, and you can't let the brothers suffer if you mix with him, although they are military households, they eat military food and military salaries, but the money and food they can get are also limited, and they still have families behind them, and they all have to eat and drink.

Now that Shen Ning rewarded them with silver, which was equivalent to a year's income, they were all excited, and their loyalty and sense of belonging were immediately condensed.

Silver is a vulgar thing, but it can do things, so don't say that silver is vulgar, talent is the most vulgar.

The soldiers who went to Pengcheng to report their exploits also returned, bringing back Sima Haiyun's letter.

On the letter, Sima Haiyun boasted a lot, and there was excitement between the lines, as if Shen Ning was so powerful, it was all his credit.

Sima Haiyun also said that Shen Ning's success in suppressing the bandits so quickly also surprised Sima Yue, praised Shen Ning's ability and merit in leading troops, allowed Shen Ning to expand his troops, and said with a smile: If you recruit enough 1,000 soldiers and horses, then let him be the master of the building.

How hard Shen Ning's relationship is now, he is not only Li Yuanxiao's son-in-law, but also Sima Haiyun's sworn brother, as long as he performs well, Sima Yue will not be stingy with promotion.

With Sima Yue's words, Shen Ning can rest assured and boldly recruit troops.

In addition, at the end of the letter, Sima Haiyun also brought a big news:

When Wang Beichuan and another building owner led 2,000 troops to attack the counties of Chengyang County, Qingzhou, they encountered an ambush, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out! Wang Beichuan was also killed!

Seeing this, Shen Ning immediately handed the letter to Li Ru.

After Li Ru saw it, he smiled and said, "This is the signal!" Wang Xiao didn't want to wait anymore and was ready to do it! ”

"That's right! The two thousand soldiers and horses were all wiped out, this news is strong enough, and now everyone is attracted by this news, the king of the southeast will be furious and want revenge! Wang Beichuan colluded with Qingzhou soldiers and horses to set this trap, and he also pretended to be dead and got out by the way, covering up people's eyes and ears! If we hadn't known about Wang Xiao's conspiracy in advance, who would have thought that this was Wang Xiao's bitter trick? I believe that other people must think that Wang Xiao and Qingzhou are incompatible! Shen Ning said with emotion.

Things really can't just look at the surface, on the surface is the enemy, and behind the scenes it may be like glue, you are the elder brother and I am the elder brother.

Li Ru returned the letter to Shen Ning and said, "The other party's plan has begun, and our plan has to begin, when will the son leave for Pengcheng?" ”

Shen Ning said: "Let's leave tonight!" If Sima Jian's soldiers and horses want to come quietly, it will take five or six days at the earliest, and as for the start, it is estimated that it will take ten days. We already know that Wang Xiao recruited Du Kang, the captain of the city guard in the south of the city, to open the city gate, but we don't know who Wang Xiao colluded with the city guard camp, so I went back earlier and found out the spies to ensure that the plan was foolproof. At this time, Uncle Li also knew that the Wang family was going to make a move, and his henchmen and horses would also be dispatched, so Mr. stayed here and waited. ”

In order to attack Pengcheng and take the southeast palace, Wang Xiao is bound to make the city guard camp unable to support, and the three military masters and one division master in the city guard camp are unknown, so it must be investigated clearly.

"That boy must be careful." Li Ru reminded.

Subsequently, Shen Ning called Lu Xun, accompanied by him, and the two hurried overnight, and entered Pengcheng with the crowd in the early morning of the next day.

The two went directly to Yue Yidao's house.

Since the establishment of the Beggar Gang, Yue Yidao has integrated the beggars in the entire Pengcheng, and there are as many as four or five hundred disciples in the gang. However, most of them are beggars who follow the general trend, and they are not of great use, once the beggars encounter a plan of life and death, they will directly fall and scatter, which is too thin and have no sense of belonging.

However, for Shen Ning, the original intention of the establishment of the beggar gang was to find out the news.

When Yue Yidao saw Shen Ning, he was quite surprised and asked, "Isn't the layman leading the troops to suppress the bandits?" ”

"I came back quietly, the four people you asked to investigate, do you have any clues?" Before Shen Ning left, he asked Yue Yidao and Zhu Hongying to jointly investigate the four generals of the moat camp.

Yue Yidao nodded, and hurriedly took out the information he had gathered, and after Shen Ning read it, he frowned.

The information is too trivial, and it is impossible to find out who was bought by Wang Xiao.

Shen Ning didn't complain about Yue Yidao, after all, the information he could collect was the most superficial, if he could directly find out who had the problem, then it would be fake.

"Isn't there any information about Zhu Hongying?" Shen Ning asked.

Yue Yidao replied: "Miss Zhu is busy lately, it seems that there are other important things, and I haven't had a chance to see her in the past few days." ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen Ning immediately guessed the reason, that is, the master of the Yin and Yang Dao was here, and he should be preparing to rescue Zhu Wanshan in the dungeon of the Southeast Palace, so Zhu Hongying didn't have time to investigate.

"You go to Wang Beifeng and ask him to wait for me in the old place!" Shen Ning commanded.

The more you cut it, go for it immediately.

An hour later, Shen Ning took Lu Xun to the teahouse and met Wang Beifeng.

Wang Beifeng bowed his hand and said, "The son is here." ”

Shen Ning noticed that he was smiling and his eyebrows were happy, and immediately understood the reason why he was happy, so he asked, "Wang Beichuan died on the battlefield, are you very happy?" ”

Wang Beifeng couldn't hold back his smile anymore and nodded.

Syllable!

Who knows, Shen Ning's familiar slap was thrown over, and it slapped him in the face as before.

Wang Beifeng was so frightened that he covered his face and looked at Shen Ning, not knowing why he was beaten.

"Do you think Wang Beichuan is really dead? You really pity you, you have done so many things for Wang Xiao, and he still hides everything from you! Shen Ning sneered.

Wang Beifeng's eyes widened, his tone trembled, and he asked, "What does Childe mean by this?" ”

Shen Ning did not continue to hide from him, so he told all the plots of Wang Beichuan to deceive death and Wang Xiao's collusion with Sima Yin.

After Wang Beifeng heard this, he was kissed by a snake, and his body was cold.

"No wonder, no wonder he secretly met Du Kang two days ago without telling me, it turned out that he planned like this, but he didn't tell me anything, hidden from me... Wang Xiao, you have never been sure to be your son, you only treat me as a dog, running for you! ”

Wang Beifeng roared angrily, his red eyes representing anger.

Shen Ning asked, "Is there any movement in Wang Xiao recently?" What Wang Xiao committed this time is a big crime, if you can make meritorious contributions, the Wang family will be your master in the future, do you understand? ”

Wang Beifeng was clever, immediately turned his sorrow into joy, and hurriedly told all the information he had investigated.

Wang Beifeng's information is much more useful, such as the Wang family's guards and martial artists have increased significantly, Wang Xiao is bedridden due to the "death of Wang Beichuan", and the big families come to mourn and so on.

Among the many pieces of intelligence, Shen Ning keenly grasped an important clue.

"You said that Sima Lie, the military leader of the city protection camp, disappeared for a while when he went to your house yesterday to mourn?" Shen Ning asked.

Wang Beifeng nodded and affirmed: "Sima Lie came with Master Chu Haoran, but he left for a while for convenience, oh yes, it was Wang Xiao's henchman who led the way for him." ”

The corners of Shen Ning's mouth lifted, and he finally found a useful clue.
