Chapter 169: Not a coincidence
A wolf-like monster seemed to feel something.
—————
It silently scurried out of the dormant house and onto the roof.
At this time, the moon was like silver, and the monster's red eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
After a long time, the night clouds covered the bright moon, and it whined twice before disappearing in disappointment.
Inside Xinchang Square.
Sima Jiu looked at the snake demon puppet in his hand and was amazed.
With the input of his internal breath, a layer of gold filaments loomed on the surface of the puppet.
The golden gland faded, and soon disappeared completely.
"That faint inner breath in my body...... Could it be the inner breath of the demon family? Sima Jiu had an expression of disbelief.
Then, Sima Jiu frowned, and secretly thought: "In Dugu Shengli's body, there is a demon family's internal breath?" ”
After all, the first time he felt that inner breath was when he was in Fudugu Shengli today.
"If that's the case, perhaps, the key to trapping the murderer of the vampire demon case lies in Dugu Shengli, the general of the Right Tun Guard."
Sima Jiu made up his mind, so he no longer investigated the case.
At this time, the hour was not early, and he led the people, went home for supper, and then fell asleep.
On the second day, Yuwenshu Mansion.
Yu Wenshu succeeded to the throne for the new emperor Yang Guang and made great contributions.
Yuwenshu is an alternative to the Yuwen family, he has little contact with his two sons Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenshi, and he is not subject to the orders of the Yuwen family.
However, since the time of the first emperor, Yuwenshu has won the favor of the saints, and has made great contributions to the succession of the new emperor Yang Guang.
Therefore, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, Yuwenshu won the honor and was named the general of the Left Guard and Xu Guogong.
At this time, there are five nobles in the court.
Su Wei, Yu Wenshu, Pei Ju, Pei Yun and Yu Shiji are known as the five nobles of the dynasty, and they were the most trusted ministers of the new emperor Yang Guang.
Among the five nobles, Su Wei was the head of the civil officials, and Yu Wenshu was the general that the new emperor relied on the most.
In Daxing City, the east is flat and the west is expensive, and the nobles mostly live in the west of Daxing City.
However, the Yuwenshu Mansion, one of the five nobles, is in the East City.
Its mansion is simple and located in Xingdaofang, not far from the imperial city.
At this time, in the Yuwenshu Mansion, there was also an important minister.
The blueprint behind the policy of the Western Regions of the Empire, Pei Ju Pei Hongda, the squire of the Yellow Gate, was lazily leaning on the couch, listening to the person in front of him with Yu Wenshu.
"When King Fangling was ambushed, he was in a daze, and he was almost unable to speak and think normally, and his subordinates hanged him with the rites of the clan, leaving the whole corpse, which can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness." The man who spoke in front of Pei Ju and Yu Wenshu had the voice of Jin Shi in his voice.
This person is Meng Jing, the Yingyanglang general under Yuwenshu, and beside him, there is another person.
After the tragedy of Yang Yong, the king of Fangling, he monitored Yang Yong throughout the whole process, and he also handled the death of Yang Yong.
Pei Ju said: "King Fangling is foolish, he doesn't know the general situation, if he is lucky to get the position, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and the heroes will rise one after another." Today, His Majesty is resolute and resolute, giving Yang Yong death, and it is also a hidden worry in the empire. ”
Subsequently, he continued: "Now, in the western part of the empire, Tubo and Tuyuhun have ceased war, and Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun, wolf ambition, is eyeing the land of my Guanzhong. ”
"Guanzhong is the land of the empire's dragon prosperity, and after the Han Dynasty's rebellion, the empire can just free up its hands and start the westward expedition to Tuguhun."
Yu Wenshu nodded slightly, and said, "Your Majesty has a big plan and ambitions in Kyushu." Today, His Majesty's heart is attached to Shandong, Jiangnan, and the capital has been moved to Luoyang, and the court has moved eastward. ”
"Come to think of it, in the near future, Your Majesty will mention the matter of moving the capital in the court meeting, which is related to the foundation of the nobles in Guanzhong, and may affect the affairs of the Western Expedition to Tuguhun."
"Guanzhong Xungui, the Dugu family, the Li family, the Yuwen family, and the Yang family are the most prosperous, the Dugu family is loyal to Your Majesty, and the head of the Yuwen family is addicted to the outside world, and there is a deviation from the foundation of the head of the family." When Pei Ju said this, he nodded at Yuwenshu, indicating that he had no intention of offending Yuwenshu.
Yuwen Shu bowed his head slightly and said: "The Li family has a close relationship with Confucianism, and Tang Guogong is upright and upright, practicing the golden mean. The Li family should not be underestimated. ”
Pei Ju frowned, and said slowly: "The Taoist family is in the same lineage, and there is a lot of contact with Li Shimin, the second eldest member of the Li family. Although this son is young, he has made a lot of heroes in Daxing City, and everyone praises him, which is really not small. Now, Tang Guogong is plotting to open a government in Bingzhou, and this time the relocation of the capital, I am afraid that he will take advantage of the topic. ”
Yu Wenshu slowly stood up, looked at the man beside Meng Jing, and signaled that he could speak.
This person is none other than the disciple of the Mu Ne Doctor family that Sima Jiu saw in the Imperial Doctor's Office, Li Shanyuan.
At this time, he did not look like a wooden man, and his face was full of shrewdness.
"The subordinates have been in accordance with the instructions of the adults, the snake demon puppet and the mansluo grass to the Dali Temple, a Si Zhi named Sima Jiu, this person is deeply trusted by the doctor, is a nominal disciple of the doctor, and he has a lot to do with Yang Su's lineage."
"The subordinates inquired and learned that this person has a close relationship with Li Jiancheng, the prince of Tang Guo, and his identity is mysterious and is still under investigation."
Pei Ju and Yu Wenshu glanced at each other, pondered for a moment, and said, "If this son can hunt the puppet stored by the remnants of King Fangling, it can also be regarded as a great contribution to the empire." Recently, Yu Wenkai has acted in a high-profile manner, if it is proved that the puppet of the agency participated in the tragedy of King Fangling, we will avoid it, which can be regarded as a reminder to Yu Wenkai. ”
Yuwen Shu thought for a moment and said: "Sima Jiu, the name is a bit interesting, since the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sima family has been slaughtered, since he is friendly with the Li family, the Yang family and the doctor, he is a good chess piece." If he can handle this matter well, it will be just right for him to move the capital. ”
"The old man wants to see how this Li family is built, how to exert himself on this kid." “
"Two adults, please forgive the villain's words, Sima Jiu District is directly from the Liupin Dali Temple, how to influence the relocation of the capital?" Ying Yanglang puzzled Meng Jing.
Pei Ju laughed and said: "The official is in power, not in the high, Yang Su will return to the dynasty in a few days, we have already stated Your Majesty, and the matter of moving the capital is none other than Yang Su." At that time, Guan Zhongxungui's eyes will fall on Yang Su. ”
"Yang Su is scheming, the matter of moving the capital is related to the fundamental of the nobles in Guanzhong, he will definitely not take action in person, but will borrow someone to operate, success is the best, defeat is just an outcast. Dali Temple is straight, detects the vampire demon case, has good ability, and must be the best candidate for Yang Su. ”
"Brother Hong's opinion, the old man admires." Yu Wenshu looked at Pei Ju and laughed.
Meng Jing and Li Shanyuan glanced at each other, and they both secretly scolded Pei Ju for being cunning and cunning.
Xinchang Fang.
Sima Jiu sneezed continuously, he never dreamed that he had been worried about Wugui.
At this time, he was about to go out to find Zuotun Weimai Iron Staff to discuss things, but as soon as he went out, he ran into Dugu Shengli.
Today, Dugu Shengli is dressed in golden armor, with a red cloak, and two long legs make her quite heroic.
"Lord Sizhi, where are you going?" Dugu Shengli has great official authority.
Then, as soon as she waved her hand, the rouge army under her command was like nails, surrounding the gate of Sima Jiu's mansion, blocking Sima Jiu's way.
It seems that Dugu Shengli doesn't seem to plan to let him go out.
Sima Jiu smiled bitterly in his heart, the official level crushed people to death, not to mention that this female official rank was seven levels higher than him.
"The general is coming, and he specially came out to greet him."
"Then let's go inside!"
"Yes!"
So, Sima Jiu accompanied the smiling face and introduced Dugu Shengli into the courtyard.
At this time, Xu Shiyun and Yu Chigong had just gotten up, and when they saw Dugu Shengli in the imperial capital, their eyes suddenly widened.
"Yesterday, I thought about it carefully, it seems that your chess style is uncertain, and if you think about it, maybe Mr. Chao, or the master of the doctor is biased towards you, and what secret method is used to guide you in the game."
"Today, General Ben is here, and he has to play a game with you." Dugu Shengli explained her intentions.
Sima Jiu knew that this woman was not a good woman, and he didn't want to play with her, so he spread his hands and said: "My subordinates were willing to play against the general, but unfortunately, there is no chess in the subordinate mansion. ”
