"Wei Xiangyuan suddenly left the Lanling Palace?" Xiao Yao said with a little surprise: "Isn't this Wei Xiangyuan Gao Changgong's most trusted confidant, why did he suddenly leave Yecheng at this time?" I came to Yecheng single-handedly, Gao Changgong must have planned some conspiracy against me, you must know that Gao Changgong has not many people who can use it now, if this Wei Xiangyuan leaves Yecheng, who else can Gao Changgong find to attack me, is it possible that Gao Changgong wants to take action in person? Or does Gao Changgong have other helpers in Yecheng? ”

"Not really! Because since Gao Changgong was transferred back to Yecheng and became a Taibao with no real power, although many people gave gifts and bribes to Gao Changgong, and Gao Changgong did not hide it, and accepted all these gold, silver and jewelry, but Gao Changgong never met with these gift-givers, even if I wanted to visit the Lanling Palace, Gao Changgong asked ten times before agreeing once, and he also drove me away after a few words, and never let me stay for a moment! It can be seen that he doesn't want people to think that he and those officials in Yecheng are suspected of forming a gang! Wang Lin shook his head and said.

"Gao Changgong, who was regarded as the god of war by the soldiers of the Qi army, turned out to be a corrupt official who embezzled and took bribes? But you don't meet people? Does he want to collect money and not do anything? Xiao Yao said with a sneer.

"Because everyone in Yecheng knows that Gao Changgong has accepted bribes from many people, I also took the opportunity to arrange many brothers around the Lanling Palace, in the name of asking for money, to monitor the people in the Lanling Palace, and also track everyone who enters and leaves the Lanling Palace, but I didn't find that Gao Changgong had any close contacts with those who bribed him! But yesterday, when you hadn't entered the city yet, we found that there were a few more people out of their Lanling Mansion than usual! Li Beiqing reported.

"Gao Changgong hated the young master to the core, and when he heard the news that the young master came to Yecheng, of course he couldn't sit still!" Wang Yi guessed.

"Nope! At that time, the young master had not yet entered the city! When the people in the palace who went to greet the young master had not left the palace, the people from the Lanling Palace had already gone out, and after we followed them, we found that the few places they went to were not very often, and these people were very vigilant, and those people sent by the emperor to monitor Gao Changgong had been dumped by them, if we hadn't used the identity of beggars as a cover, and if they hadn't paid attention to those official people, thus ignoring us, we might have been discovered by them! Li Beiqing shook his head and said.

"Then you mean that Gao Changgong already knew the news of the young master's coming to Yecheng before the young master entered the city? Could it be that those people who intercepted and assassinated the young master yesterday were sent by Gao Changgong? But those people are indeed the subordinates of the eldest grandson Hongluo! Wang Yi said in surprise.

"Even if these assassins are not sent by Gao Changgong, they can't be separated from Gao Changgong!" Xiao Yao's eyes showed a cold light, and he said murderously.

"Gao Wei and Han Changluan both told me that before that Han messenger returned to the palace to tell them, no one in their entire Qi Kingdom knew that I had arrived outside the city of Yecheng! Therefore, Gao Changgong knew that I was coming to Yecheng, and he could only know after Gao Wei told those ministers in the Cool Breeze Hall that he knew! At that time, Gao Changgong was not in the Cool Breeze Palace, which means that there are Gao Changgong's spies in the palace who brought the news of my coming to Yecheng out of the palace and told Gao Changgong to know! And Gao Changgong knew the news that I had suddenly come to Yecheng, and in a hurry, he could only think of letting others continue to block and assassinate me, or even incite the onlookers to make trouble, and then create chaos! And Gao Changgong may assassinate me in the chaos! After all, he still has the muskets he took from me, which he can shoot from a distance! Xiao Yao said sharply.

"Indeed, in Yecheng, there is a motive to assassinate the young master, and there is also the ability to plan this assassination, and it is none other than Gao Changgong! I heard that Han Changluan is now making every effort to investigate this matter, why don't we reveal these clues to him, and then let him find out about Gao Changgong's head? Wang Yi suggested.

"I guess there are no clues! Because of the people who went out of the Lanling Palace, a few of them did not go back to the palace, and I believe that they should have been killed by Gao Changgong! Li Beiqing shook his head and said.

"If there is no evidence, it will be a bit difficult to do, because according to Han Changluan's very respectful attitude towards Gao Changgong, the god of war of the Qi army, if there is no 100% real evidence, it is estimated that Han Changluan will not make a move against Gao Changgong!" Wang Yi said with a little disappointment.

"It's just that Han Changluan won't make a move on Gao Changgong, but Gao Wei will definitely make a move!" Xiao Yao sneered and said: "Because Gao Wei doesn't care if there is evidence or not, as long as Gao Changgong offends Gao Wei's reverse scales, and Gao Wei is usually very disgusted with Gao Changgong, then Gao Wei will definitely not hesitate to attack Gao Changgong!" ”

"The reason why the State of Qi has been able to persist in the continuous crusades of the State of Zhou and the State of Chen over the years is actually due to the national strength accumulated before, and if it weren't for the three generals Hu Luguang, Duan Shao and Gao Changgong who led the army to resist, the State of Zhou would have captured Luoyang City long ago! Duan Shao died suddenly last year, and Hu Luguang was exterminated by Gao Wei for the crime of rebellion, and now if even Gao Changgong is killed by Gao Wei, then the Qi country will not be far from destroying the country! Wang Yi said excitedly.

"Then those ministers in the court of Qi State, don't they all intercede for Gao Changgong? Even we, outsiders, have seen these problems so thoroughly, and I believe that those ministers will definitely know that if even Gao Changgong is executed by Gao Wei, their Qi State will definitely be wiped out by Zhou State or Chen State, don't they care that Qi State is destroyed? Li Beiqing asked puzzled, he was just a man in the rivers and lakes, and he was not sensitive to politics.

"That's right! These ministers of the Qi State really don't care much about whether their Qi State will be wiped out or not! Wang Yi sneered with a look of contempt and said: "Because Gao Wei posthumously presented my father as the governor of the fifteen states of the military, and what are the Yangzhou assassins, the servants, and a lot of official positions, and buried in a chariot, so that the whole Yecheng people know about me Wang Yi, so I also successfully entered the high-ranking officials and nobles in Yecheng!" In the past few months that I have been in contact with these wealthy families, I have seen the faces of these people clearly, on the surface they are loyal to the Qi country, but in fact they are insatiable, corrupt and pervert the law, constantly scrape the people's fat and ointment, and completely ignore the life and death of the people! ”

"That's why there are so many poor people and beggars in Yecheng! Now the people of Yecheng are indeed very dissatisfied with the rule of the Gao clan of Qi State, if the gang leader leads a large army to the city, I believe that the people of Yecheng will take the initiative to open the city gate and welcome the gang leader into the city! Speaking of the oppression of the common people by the aristocracy, Li Beiqing said with deep understanding.

"That's right! And those high-ranking officials and nobles, they don't care who is the emperor, whether the country name is Zhou or Qi, they only care if they can keep their wealth and power! Because even if the Qi State is destroyed, the new emperor will continue to appoint them as officials in the new court in order to win over these wealthy nobles! Wang Yi nodded and said.
