Jiang Xiao was imprisoned in a dungeon, causing an uproar in Pengcheng.

Jiang Xiao is not only the chief of the palace, but also the confidant of the king of the southeast, and has won the trust and respect of the king of the southeast. During the period when the king of the southeast was sick, it can be said that he handled all the big and small things.

Who would have thought that now suddenly being jailed would shock everyone's jaws.

The most panicked person is still Sima Haiying.

He thought that his father knew about their conspiracy, so he made a move on Jiang Xiao first, fearing that the next person would be himself.

After finally inquiring, I learned that Jiang Xiao actually stole the Taoist Jin Dan and did not tell his father.

was so angry that Sima Haiying scolded, cursed Jiang Xiao for being confused, and dedicated the Taoist Jin Dan to his father, wouldn't he be able to gain more trust?

He didn't think about rescuing Jiang Xiao, because he understood that Jiang Xiao was not saved. Even if his father doesn't kill him, Sima Haiyun will take advantage of the fire to rob him.

Sure enough.

In the early morning of the fourth day of Jiang's imprisonment, he was found hanged in prison.

When the news reached Sima Yue's ears, Sima Yue didn't ask much, just sighed. After all, I have followed him for more than 20 years, and I still have feelings.

As for whether it was hanged or someone else's hand, it didn't matter anymore.

As for Shen Ning, if Jiang Xiao is done, there will be no worries in the entire Southeast Palace, and the next thing is to kill Sima Yue.

And the way to kill Sima Yue is very simple, the way is on that Taoist golden pill.

It's a plan within a plan.

The Taoist Jin Dan was mixed with the strange poison of the Yin and Yang Dao by Shen Ning, this strange poison is two kinds of poison, there is no toxicity when taken alone, as long as the two touch, it is extremely poisonous.

Therefore, after the alchemist examines the Taoist Golden Pill, he will not find that it is poisonous, as long as Sima Yue takes the Taoist Golden Pill and then feeds him another poison, Sima Yue will inevitably die.

At that time, the cause of his death can be blamed on the dead Jiang Xiao, saying that the poison he had given beforehand could not be found on Shen Ning at all.

However, in the next few days, Sima Yue did not take Taoist Jindan, and it seems that he still has some scruples.

And during this time, a major event surprised Shen Ning.

Sima Liang, the king of Runan, is dead!

The news that reached Pengcheng was that he died violently of illness, but Shen Ning knew that the cause of death was very fake, because he had seen Sima Liang in the imperial capital at that time, and Sima Liang's body was very healthy, and he didn't look like a person who would die violently at all.

In addition, Sima Liang is dead, what about Jia Xu?

Shen Ning had a hunch that Sima Liang's death had something to do with Jia Xu, but unfortunately Shen Ning had no eyeliner in the Runan area and didn't know the inside story.

I was thinking about whether to send someone to take a look, but after thinking about it carefully, I gave up.

Who knew that a few days later, Jia Xu actually appeared in Pengcheng and came to visit.

When he heard that a middle-aged man named "Jia Xu" outside the door asked to see him, Shen Ning hurriedly ran out.

When I came to the door, it was Jia Xu.

"Why is Mr. Wenhe here?" Shen Ning hurriedly bowed his hand and asked in surprise, faintly excited in his heart, could it be that he had come to take refuge in himself?

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "I am going to Qingzhou to visit friends, passing through Pengcheng, just to meet my son." ”

Shen Ning was a little disappointed in his heart, but he also understood that he had a gambling contract with Jia Xu, and with his current status, he could not let Jia Xu take refuge wholeheartedly.

"Sir, please!" Shen Ning stretched out his hand to invite Jia Xu into the house, and when he came to the teahouse, Li Ru stood up.

introduced the acquaintance of the two, and the meeting of these two poisoners from the Three Kingdoms made Shen Ning very excited. If he can really win Jia Xu's allegiance, with the two of them, Shen Ning will really have no worries.

The three of them sat down and chatted over tea.

Li Ru and Jia Xu are of the same age, and they are both top strategists, so they didn't talk for long before they sympathized with each other.

"With the help of talented people like Brother Li, Childe will definitely be able to rise to the top!" Jia Xu praised.

Li Ru smiled and said: "Brother Wenhe, Sima Liang died violently, why don't you come to Pengcheng?" The prince must be courteous and virtuous, and treat you as a guest. ”

Jia Xu replied: "With Brother Li here, it doesn't hurt to have one more of me and less of me." Moreover, after coming to Pengcheng, I heard that the most trusted staff of the Southeast King had hanged himself, and I believed that the condition of the Southeast King had deteriorated, and there was not much time left. As soon as Sima Yue died, half of my bet with Shen Gongzi was lost. ”

Li Ru naturally heard about the gambling between the two, so he didn't continue to force it. Top strategists have their own tempers, and they can't force them.

Shen Ning asked curiously: "By the way, Mr. Wenhe, how could Sima Liang suddenly die?" ”

"People have good and bad luck, and it's normal to die violently. And Sima Liang colluded with foreign thieves, which is also retribution. Jia Xu said casually.

Shen Ning immediately understood that Sima Liang's death was definitely calculated by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's family was invaded and killed by foreigners, he hated foreigners, and even more hated traitors who colluded with foreign thieves, so he took refuge in Sima Liang from the beginning to kill Sima Liang. Last time in the imperial capital, he made a bet with Shen Ning and canceled his plan.

And after returning to Sima Liang's fiefdom, he punished Sima Liang.

"Mr. Wenhe, will Sima Liang's death implicate you?" Shen Ning said with concern.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, and I would like to thank Gongzi for helping me introduce Miss Xun." ”

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment and nodded, it seems that Sima Liang's death is also related to the Xun family, it seems that Jia Xu borrowed the hand of the Xun family.

is worthy of Jia Xu, who spared his life, and stayed out of the matter and killed Sima Liang.

"After visiting friends in Qingzhou, will the gentleman return to Runan?" Shen Ning asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Don't go back, after Sima Liang's death, his sons began to fight for power, and it has become a whirlpool." After visiting friends in Qingzhou this time, I may go to the imperial capital. When the time comes, I can see Shen Gongzi again. ”

Shen Ning immediately smiled, after he settled Xuzhou, he would let Zhang Liao and them continue to recruit troops and horses, while Shen Ning went to the imperial capital.

He is now a six-rank Xiao cavalry captain, and if he stays in Xuzhou all the time, he will never be promoted, so he has to go to the imperial capital!

What's more, his family is in the imperial capital, and his enemies are also in the imperial capital, so Shen Ning has no reason not to go to the imperial capital.

"Okay, then the next time we meet, it's the imperial capital!" Shen Ning replied.

Next, after Jia Xu had lunch, he was ready to leave, with no intention of staying.

Shen Ning sent him out of the city and sent him ten miles.

Jia Xu persuaded: "Son, go back." ”

Shen Ning smiled: "I'll send Mr. again." ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "It's a long way to go to Qingzhou, and the son can't always send it, I have received the child's wishes, and I invite the son to go back." ”

"Good! Mr. Na paid attention to safety on this trip, the mountains are high and the water is long, and he will see you again in the future. Shen Ning bowed goodbye.

Jia Xu nodded and bowed.

The two said goodbye.

After Shen Ning left, Jia Xu lifted the curtain, looked at the back of Shen Ning leaving, and said with a smile: "The Shen family is full of loyalty, and there is still this lone seedling left, which is really blessed by God!" Xianbei invaded back then, if General Shen hadn't died, maybe my family wouldn't have died..."

"Shen Gongzi, I will wait for you to win the bet."
