Chapter 608: The Cause of Betrayal
"Lord, news has just come from Hanzhong, the Ming Marquis Mansion is about to be completed recently, Hu Changshi and they hope that the adults can return as soon as possible, and take this opportunity to establish the respect of the Ming Marquis, the land of Hanzhong!" Huo Yu's whispered report.
"So fast?"
When Mu Jing heard this, he was slightly surprised.
The scale of the construction of the Ming Marquis' Mansion is not small, even if it is not as trivial and heavy as those palace-like projects, but it is far beyond the scale of ordinary mansion construction, and the internal structure is very complicated, even if the construction of the Minfu craftsmen is constantly recruited, he predicts that it will be completed by the end of the year.
I didn't expect these craftsmen to move so quickly.
"Lord, since there are pulleys and levers, the construction has become much smoother, many boulders can be completed with these pulley ropes and levers, and they are now only completing the construction of the main mansion, some accompanying rooms, side halls, left and right wings, front and rear barracks, back gardens, artificial lakes, are still under construction, but the completion of the main mansion also needs to be inspected by the lord himself!"
Huo Yu said.
The so-called lever was naturally invented by Mujing.
In order to build a house, it is necessary to move some boulders, which often requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the so-called lever is the analysis of physics and mechanics, but in reality, with the role of the fixed pulley, it is labor-saving, greatly labor-saving.
"Now that the affairs of Nanyang have been dealt with almost completely, then you can arrange it, and in a few days, we will leave, and it is time to return to Hanzhong, otherwise the hearts of the people who have been suppressed with great difficulty will be troubled again!"
Mu Jing stood up, raised his head, looked at the golden fallen leaves under the big banyan tree, and said in a low voice.
He also thought that it was impossible for him to stay in Nanyang for a long time, and now the center of the Minghou Mansion was in Hanzhong, Hanzhong was the most important, and the hearts of the people in Hanzhong had not completely settled down, so he had to show up as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it is not impossible for some ghosts to come out and make trouble.
"I'll arrange it!"
Huo Yu nodded.
The arrangement is arranged, Mu Jing will still not be able to move within a few days, and the major military and political affairs in Nanyang have basically been completed, but this time he came to the east, and there were still some things he wanted to deal with personally.
One night, Mu Jing was in a wing room of the Minghou Mansion and met with Zhao Xin, the commander of the right division of the Jingwu Division.
Zhao Xin held a file in his hand and handed it to Mu Jing constantly.
Mu Jing read one after another, saw it very carefully, looked very seriously, and the content on it made his face constantly change.
"Zhao Xin, are the results of your investigation here?" After half a sound, Mu Jing finished reading the last dossier, pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Zhao Xin nodded: "This is all inquired about during this time, and it has cost us a lot of manpower and material resources!" ”
"Is it real?"
"I personally presided over the investigation of this matter, and the person who handled it was also my most trusted!" Zhao Xin thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Please rest assured, the news is absolutely flawless, absolutely true!" ”
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I can't believe it, Wuyin Zhu family, when you talk about it now, I almost forgot about it!"
Mu Jing looked at the file of Zhu Chou's origin, and smiled slightly bitterly: "But who would have thought that it was because of them that the boat almost capsized in the gutter, if the battle of Nanxiang was broken by the soldiers of Nanyang County, I am afraid that my Mu Jing will be ruined!" ”
Jingwusi's former flag envoy in Nanyang Town, Zhu Chou, Zhu Chongyi, is actually a person who has a deep blood feud with him, so it is not surprising why he chose to betray Nanxiang and betray the Minghou Mansion, he is close to himself, just to take revenge.
Back then, Mu Jing was still young, it was a very cold and cold winter, there was nothing to eat on the mushroom mountain, they shivered with cold, panicked with hunger, and finally chose to die and live.
seized Wuyin, when that choice came out of Mushan, but it was instigated by Mujing.
When they attacked Wuyin, they encountered a big problem, and the wealthy families in the city were hindered by it, and they also needed an object of prestige, and this object was the Zhu family of Wuyin.
At the beginning, the Wuyin Zhu clan was almost slaughtered, but Mu Jing finally relented, and he couldn't do anything with those teenagers, so he chose to let them go in the end.
As the saying goes, cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
The hatred of destroying the door is not shared by the sky, but only hated.
Each of the young men who escaped the murder of the Zhu family back then could clearly record Mu Jing's face in the killing in their minds, and they couldn't erase it if they wanted to, they hated, hated like a surging river, and there was an endless stream.
Among them, there is a young man named Zhu Zhen, the concubine of the head of the Zhu family, because he didn't pay attention to it, he let him escape, and he became the only head of the Zhu family.
This Zhu Zhen is not simple, although he is young, he has extraordinary means.
In just a few years, the Zhu family, who was exterminated in Wuyin, under his leadership, gained a firm foothold in Wancheng as a merchant family, and he gathered a large number of clansmen who no longer danced at that time and escaped the catastrophe, for his own use, to strengthen the influence of the Zhu family.
Of course, he couldn't forget that one of the culprits who led a group of young demons to their family unscrupulously in that night.
In recent years, the Mu family has become famous all over the world.
But he was secretly arranged.
Zhu Chou is Zhu Zhen's uncle, because of his study abroad, he escaped a catastrophe, and was instructed by Zhu Zhen to enter Jingping Commercial Bank as a businessman, and then through the springboard of Jingping Commercial Bank, he entered Jingwusi, and became Tan Zong's confidant and took charge of Nanyang's news network.
In the past war, the main force of the pastoral army was still in Hanzhong, and there were not many soldiers and horses left in Nanxiang, Zhu Zhen thought that this was a good opportunity, jumped up and down, and introduced the soldiers of Nanyang County into Nanxiang, he hoped to use this force to destroy the Mu clan and avenge the great revenge.
"How old is Zhu Zhen?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.
He remembered that although he let go of a lot of people from the Zhu family back then, they were all young boys, basically under the age of ten, and most of them were seven or eight years old, and this Zhu Zhen shouldn't be very big.
"This year's fifteen!"
"A fifteen-year-old boy calculated us all and almost made us lose Nanxiang and the entire base of Nanyang?" Mu Jing laughed at himself a little: "Is he too powerful, or are we too incompetent!" “
"My lord, this root cause is my open and dark enemies, and it is naturally easier for them to calculate us!"
Zhao Xin replied.
"There are reasons for this, but since we have set up a banner to fly in the wind, it is inevitable that we will be calculated, and it is our dereliction of duty to fail to be vigilant!" The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised a cold smile, and he said faintly: "Zhao Xin, you can be vigilant in the future, the left division provides me with eyes and ears to see the world, but whether what I see is true or false, you still need the right division to discern." ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Xin nodded respectfully.
"What is the situation of the Zhu family now?" Mu Jing asked again.
"Zhu Zhen is still secluded behind the scenes, but this person has a good level of business, and he was also a member of Jingping Commercial Bank in the past, relying on the name of Jingping Commercial Bank to make several transactions, in the Wancheng business community, the industry is not the most, but the network is definitely the widest!"
Zhao Xin replied: "As for Zhu Chou, he made meritorious contributions at the beginning, but because of the defeat of the Nanyang County soldiers, he could not show his merits, but it is undeniable that Lei Bo is very important to him, and he handed over the entire scout battalion under his command to him as commander!" ”
"Between the Zhu family and me, there is a deep hatred, even so, I'm afraid I can't keep it, continue to keep it, if you want something bad, a Zhu Chou is quite difficult to deal with, and there is also a Zhu Zhen who is the head of the Zhu family, hey!"
Mu Jing thought about it, sighed, and said in a somewhat low mood: "Zhu Chou is a traitor to Jing Wusi, is there a way for Jing Wusi to enforce the family law?" ”
To say that he regretted that he shouldn't have let those people live in the first place, he wouldn't.
But......
His mood is a little indescribably depressed, this is a strange emotion of self-inflicted bitterness, it is because of his kindness that he almost lost Nanxiang, Nanyang, his wife, and his subordinates.
"Difficult!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xin shook his head slightly, and said, "We tried, but we didn't succeed once!" ”
"They're so tough?"
"Lord, Zhu Chou is in charge of the affairs of our Nanyang Town, he is familiar with big and small things, whether it is our channel, our spies, he can recognize it, he is too familiar with our set, and he has always lived in a simple place, we can't find a chance to do it, and the Zhu family, the head of the Zhu family is a little cunning, suspicious by nature, elusive, and it is difficult to assassinate this person."
"If this is the case, then we will kill it with dignity!"
Mu Jing thought for a while and said: "Zhu Chou is a general, Lei Bo must be afraid of him, because Lei Bo can't believe a person who has chosen to betray, so we can try to provoke, people's hearts can't stand provoking, you go and test it, Lei Bo trusts him to that point, if there is a chance, you might as well give them a counter-plan, borrow a knife to kill, and borrow Lei Bo's knife to kill them in a dignified manner!" ”
"The Lord is right, I'll try to try this matter as much as possible!"
When Zhao Xin heard this, he jumped a little.
Whether this thing can be done or not, it still depends on the trust and tacit understanding between Lei Bo and Zhu Chou, they still have a chance to break up this combination, if they can provoke these two people, it will be much easier to go to Nanyang in the future.
