Chapter 370: Suspect
"Although you have been dismissed and dismissed by me, and you are still hiding in the general casino all day long to have fun with that girl from Xu Ling's family, these may be your tricks to hide people's eyes! But with Wu Mingche's old fox's trust and affection for you, and the loyalty of that yellow-haired Qu's son in Jiangcheng, you should still be able to easily get the battle plan we have already formulated to attack Xuzhou! Chen Xu stared at Xiao Yao with his eyes fixed, and said coldly, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study seemed to be colder than the weather outside for a while!
"Listening to Your Majesty's tone, Your Majesty really suspects me now that I am this traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country?" Xiao Yao still smiled very calmly.
"Isn't it?" Chen Xu said with a gloomy face.
"Hehe, I didn't expect His Majesty to doubt me!" Xiao Yao sneered a few times, then shook his head and said, "But it's no wonder that Your Majesty will doubt me, after all, although this matter is very hidden, as long as you think about it carefully, it can still be easily deduced!" I believe that the investigation report submitted to His Majesty by the Criminal Department of the Ministry of War must have mentioned that the group of Qi killers who assassinated me outside Jinling City last time was related to the defeat of our army in Xuzhou this time, and even this group of killers assassinated Xu Jingcheng, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, on the battlefield! ”
"So it's simple, these killers were lurking in Jinling City at that time, in addition to assassinating me, there was also a purpose, that is, to contact that traitor, and obtain our battle plan to attack Xuzhou, and then while sending this battle plan to Gao Changgong's hands, they ambushed Xu Jingcheng's side, and then when the Eastern Route Army was preparing to encircle and siege Xiapi County, they assassinated General Xu just like assassinating me, poor General Xu is not as lucky as me, a general who is extremely brave on the battlefield, But they fell under the plot of these assassins! Xiao Yao took the initiative to help Chen Xu analyze that he had a major suspicion.
"There are at least more than a hundred people in this batch of killers, so many people can even escape the search of the imperial court, and they are still hiding in Jinling City unharmed, there are few people who have such the ability to cover them, looking at the entire Chen Kingdom!" Chen Xu's face became more and more gloomy and said.
"There are many shops and workshops in the general trading house, and there are thousands of employees of all kinds, even during the war, we can still trade with the people of the Qi country, all of which are very conducive to covering the killers of the Qi country and transmitting intelligence, and the general casino is a perennial gathering of merchants from all over the world, so that these killers of the Qi country can be closely connected with me! So I Xiao Shilang and General Firm have the biggest suspicion of collaborating with the enemy! Xiao Yao continued Chen Xu's words and continued to analyze his major suspicions.
"And combined with all your circumstances and what you did after coming to Jinling, this makes you the biggest suspect in this mole!" Chen Xu said with a loud shout, but saw that Xiao Yao was still looking at him with a smile and calmness, so he continued: "You and your master are both from the Qi State, but you came to Jinling three years ago, and through Xiao Moke's relationship, you were appreciated by Wu Mingche, and thus entered the military circle of our Chen State!" You have made great achievements on the battlefield of Huainan and gained the trust of me and Wu Mingche, so that you can more easily find out the secrets of our Chen Kingdom! ”
"And after you came back from the Zhou Kingdom, what you did was even more arrogant, not only smashed the Four Seasons Restaurant, but also deliberately provoked me, so that I removed you from your post, and there was no military position, and this series of military fiascos that happened now naturally has nothing to do with you! Therefore, the assassination outside the city is actually a good show you played when a thief shouts to catch a thief, in fact, you are taking the opportunity to send them out of the city, and then escape Jiangbei and send the information to the hands of Gao Changgong in Huaibei! Chen Xu said coldly while tapping his fingers on the table, and the knocking sound made the atmosphere of the scene seem more terrifying.
"Then Your Majesty believes that I and General Comprising are traitors?" Xiao Yao asked calmly, after listening to Chen Xu's set of statements that seemed to be very reasonable, but there were many contradictory statements, he still maintained this composure and smile, because Xiao Yao could see that this set of rhetoric was equally effective when used on Yinhai Commercial Bank, but Chen Xu, as Xiao Yao said to Zu Yuan before, must believe in his son and will not believe in outsiders like them! Let's read books
"I don't believe it!" Chen Xu said without hesitation, but he changed his words again: "But looking at the entire Chen Kingdom, only you are the biggest suspect!" Tell me for yourself, who else but you can have the ability to be this traitor! ”
Of course, Xiao Yao didn't dare to say that there were still suspicions of Chen Shubao and Yinhai Commercial Bank, after all, Chen Xu was already biased towards his own son at this time, so Xiao Yao could only sigh and say: "Since Your Majesty thinks that our General Commercial Bank has a major suspicion, then dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the benefit of us doing this?" ”
"What benefits? Hmph, haven't the traitors since ancient times all made a wish to be an official for glory and wealth! Chen Xu said with a sneer.
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, and the suspicion of me is legitimate, why didn't Your Majesty take me down and behead me for public display? He even sent someone to invite me for a month, is it just so that I can come here to confront Your Majesty? Xiao Yao still asked with a relaxed face.
"Haha, then what do you think I summoned you to the palace for?" Chen Xu suddenly laughed and said.
"Haha, Shiro thinks it's because His Majesty thinks that I'm a traitor, so this time I was summoned to the palace to make a wish to me as an official and reward me with glory and wealth!" Xiao Yao also laughed and said.
"Xiao Shilang is really still the same Xiao Shilang who is calm and thoughtful! The others, even the crown prince or the king of Xing, in the scene just now, under my anger, they were already frightened and panicked, and they didn't choose what to say! And only you, Xiao Shilang, have always maintained extremely calm in front of me! Chen Xu said with a smile, in stark contrast to the angry look that seemed to be about to eat Xiao Yao just now!
"That's because the Qing people are self-purifying, Shiro has never done these things of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, why should he panic!" Xiao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said proudly.
"Although the investigation submitted by the Criminal Department of the Ministry of War, on the surface, the suspicion of you is reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of mistakes and contradictions, I believe that only a faint man like Gao Wei will believe it, and he will kill you without hesitation like killing Hu Luguang!" Chen Xu said with a sneer, then slapped the table case vigorously, and said confidently: "But I am not Gao Wei!" So I've already scolded the people in the Punishment Department of the Military Department, if it weren't for the fact that I'm focusing on the Northern Expedition now, I'll definitely punish them well! ”
"If you are a traitor of the Qi State, then why do you still want to help us Da Chen Design to guide Gao Wei to solve the Qi State General Hu Luguang! If you collude with Gao Changgong, then why do you want to drive a wedge between him and Gao Wei! As soon as Hu Luguang died, even if there was still a Gao Changgong in the Qi Kingdom, the greater the Gao Changgong's military exploits, the closer he was to death! I know that Shiro is a smart person, and I can see that Shiro is an ambitious person, so you will never serve the Qi State that is about to be a soldier and be the traitor of the mediocre Emperor of Qi Guo Gao Wei! Chen Xu said with a laugh.
