Chapter 221: Spread the word
In the middle of the night, a court official came to the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion.
They were eager to come here for only one thing, that is, King Xiangwang Yuanche died violently.
"Dare to ask Yan Shizi, who has His Royal Highness King Xiang been in contact with at today's gathering?"
The sleepy-eyed Wang Xiao yawned, "I don't remember this, I drank so much wine, I can't remember it clearly." ”
Wang Xiao's identity is different, these people can only interrogate, and it is impossible to interrogate him like a prisoner.
Moreover, there were too many people gathering in Yuwen Mansion today, and almost all the disciples of the gate valve in Chang'an City participated.
In such a chaotic environment, it is impossible to find out who is responsible for the poison.
There is no surveillance video in this day and age.
Emperor Wei was furious. Before, he was still watching the excitement of watching the family gate valve frightened by the mysterious killer three times a day. But now it is the turn of the royal family to be unlucky, and the mentality is immediately different.
However, it is not easy to summarize the death of Xiangwang Yuanche with Zhao Xifeng.
After all, the previous assassins had a wide open and closed style of doing things, and even carried a knife to directly break into battle. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's going to be poisonous.
In the eyes of the Great Wei Emperor, it is very likely that this is the hand of the family gatekeeper, and then threw the black cauldron to the mysterious assassin.
The emperor and the gate valve are inherently hostile to each other.
The officials who came to the door could not ask anything useful, so they could only say goodbye and leave for the next one.
And Wang Xiao shouted and returned to his house. After that, under the noses of many spies of various factions lurking in the mansion, he quietly changed his clothes and left the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
There are all kinds of spy organizations in this world, and there are also martial arts with five mao special effects.
Wang Xiao didn't really care about these people, he just didn't want to be exposed so early.
That night, Wang Xiao washed another gate valve in blood. It is not the Eight Pillars Country, but the grassland-oriented Han family gate valve of the strength platform.
The Guanlong Group is just a general term, and in addition to the Eight Pillars Country, there are many other large and small gate valves that fill it.
They cling to the larger gatekeepers, creating a formidable force that would be feared by the royal family.
Later, Yuwentai seized the world of Western Wei, and Yang Jian won the world of Northern Zhou, relying on the power of these Guanlongmen valves.
It is precisely because I saw the terrible power of these gate valves. Since the era of Li Shimin, several generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty have tried their best to crack down on the gate valve, and finally completely ended the military power of the gate valve in the era of Wu Meiniang.
Having land that belongs to the gate valve means having money and food in hand, and with money and food, you can raise soldiers, and with soldiers, you can do many, many things.
The gate valve of this era is so powerful.
In the next few days, Wang Xiao attacked continuously and attacked several small and medium-sized gate valves. It can be regarded as completely letting the seeds of chaos begin to sprout and grow wildly in Chang'an City.
The various gate lords were suspicious and hostile to each other, and the royal family also began to choose targets with different strengths under the pretext of Xiangwang Yuanche's affairs.
As Wang Xiao continued to attack, Chang'an City could be called three shocks a day.
Many families who had grudges in the past also took the opportunity to start a scuffle. The streets are full of bloodstains left behind by the fire of the soldiers and generals.
Even, when Wang Xiao stopped to rest, there were other assassins in action, fighting each other.
Among them, Nanliang's spies fanned the flames. The more chaotic the north, the less pressure they have.
Since Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, it was difficult for the south to pose a substantial threat to the Northern Wei Dynasty. It can only be a small attempt to weaken the opponent's strength.
For these, Wang Xiao naturally thinks that the more chaotic the better.
Recently, he hasn't gone out to run errands, but it's getting more and more chaotic outside day by day. Assassinations under the guise of mysterious assassins are endless, and it is unknown how many forces are taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
However, what surprised Wang Xiao was that when he was counting money in his house, someone killed him under the banner of a mysterious assassin.
"Hey, who sent you?"
Wang Xiao waved his hand to let the generals who poured in withdraw, and looked down curiously to ask the female assassin who was sitting under him.
It is indeed a female assassin, just look at the figure.
If it weren't for a female assassin, Wang Xiao wouldn't have sat on her.
Previously, Wang Xiao calculated the income from selling distilled spirits, and when she lay down and was about to sleep, the female assassin quietly entered through the window.
This really made Wang Xiao want to laugh.
During this time, he played the role of an assassin in Chang'an City, stirring up trouble and causing trouble. I didn't expect that I would be assassinated under my own banner.
After capturing the female assassin, Wang Xiao wanted to know who had sent her.
The female assassin was silent.
Wang Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand and took off her face towel.
A little familiar, recalling it carefully, I quickly remembered the identity of the female assassin.
This is Qing Wei, the female subordinate of Xiao Yu, the eldest princess of Nanliang.
Thinking about it, at this time, it must be Nanliang who wishes that Great Wei was more chaotic.
And if his identity was assassinated, it was hard to imagine how Yan Beihou, who had a heavy army, would react.
Reaching out and pinching the corner of Qingwei's mouth, he took a closer look, "Well, I didn't put poison in my teeth." ”
Qingwei wanted to struggle, but unfortunately he couldn't move at all.
"Tell me, where is your princess?"
Qing Wei looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Yu hurried over when he got the news of the civil strife in Chang'an City, and the people here didn't even know before he came.
It's only been a few days, why did Yan Shizi know that the eldest princess was coming?
"Don't you say?" Wang Xiao looked at her curiously, "Look at your fine skin and tender meat, aren't you afraid of being tortured?" ”
Qingwei sneered disdainfully, and finally spoke, "What kind of torture is there, just use it." If I snort, I'm not a hero. ”
Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at her, "You are not a good man, you are a woman." ”
"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. If you want to ask for something from my mouth, that's a dream. Qingwei pursed her lips and closed her eyes, not saying a word.
Assassins like them were highly trained. The mind is extremely strong, and ordinary punishments are basically useless.
Wang Xiao rubbed his chin and looked at the woman.
After a while, he got up and went outside, waving his hand to tell the generals who were guarding the courtyard to go about their business.
When I came back, I closed the door.
Walked to Qingwei's side, squatted down, and asked her very seriously, "Let me ask you one last time, where is Xiao Yu?" ”
Qingwei closed his eyes and didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Wang Xiao snorted, "This is your own choice." ”
Picked up the woman and put her on the bed.
"What are you doing!?"
Seeing Wang Xiao's hand stretched out to tie the placket, Qingwei finally showed a panicked expression.
"It's nothing, it's just torture for you."
"Soul light!"
As a man with super physical fitness, Wang Xiao's demand has always been great.
came to this world, although there were a lot of maidservants in the mansion. But Wang Xiao is not a cruel and bloodthirsty tribesman like Yu Wenhuai, and he really has no heart to hurt these poor women, so he has been patient all this time.
Tonight, Qingwei threw himself into the net, so of course Wang Xiao was going to be tortured.
"You want to come and kill me, I'll punish you now, it's a matter of course."
This punishment was punished until the light of day.
When the faltering green reed was sent out of the house by Wang Xiao, the eyes of the surrounding generals were full of ambiguity.
Everybody gets the idea.
Wang Xiao is always easy to be soft-hearted. After all, she is a beautiful female assassin, and the punishment is enough. I had to ask her to bring a message to Xiao Yu.
If this had been a male assassin, he would have been buried in the garden to nourish the earth.
Wang Xiao asked Qingwei to bring a message to Xiao Yu, wanting the two to meet and talk.
He really wanted to talk to Xiao Yu about cooperation, but the eldest princess of Nanliang didn't seem to have this idea.
After Qingwei left, there was no more news.
Wang Xiao was not anxious about this, and bought a workshop outside to vigorously expand the output of distilled spirits and make as much money as possible.
As for being stolen to learn technology or something, he doesn't care. I was just going to make a quick buck.
Wang Xiao no longer went out to play the role of an assassin, because Xiao Yu and all kinds of chaotic forces were taking over his job.
At night, the entire Chang'an City is full of black shadows slipping through the cracks in the walls.
And during the day, there are often gate valve families who accuse each other, and then they pull out private soldiers to open the film directly on the street. There is almost no order in the entire Chang'an City.
During this time, Wang Xiao also received a lot of letters from Yanbei, and his replies were nothing special, they were all simple family letters.
Letters like this are bound to be consulted privately. Something important can't be written on this, of course.
After this period of preparation, Wang Xiao finally began to prepare for the evacuation.
However, before leaving, Wang Xiao had to expose the ambitions of the Yuwen family.
Yuwentai, an old fox, controls everything behind his back, and carefully designs to use everyone as a pawn. In the end, it was his Yuwen family who ate everything.
In essence, there is nothing wrong with Yuwentai's approach. If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
But when Wang Xiao is involved, then he won't do it.
Wang Xiao decided to give Yu Wentai two slaps to make him sober up.
There is no point in assassinating the people of the Yuwen family again, unless it is to kill Yuwenyue.
But this guy is a master, and he is surrounded by good players. Wang Xiao was not sure.
The Yuwen family was the most powerful gate valve in the Great Wei, but it was not regarded as the greatest threat by the emperor. The reason for this is that most of their power is hidden in the shadows.
Wang Xiao's choice was to publicize their family. Let the strength of the Yuwen family be completely exposed in front of the whole world.
Advertising was a thing that existed in the Yin Shang period, and it was also engraved on bronzes.
It is written in the weekly rites that all transactions must be "sued to the soldiers".
Wang Xiao volunteered to help this time and publicize the Yuwen family, and the publicity was purely out of enthusiasm and free of charge!
He originally wanted to talk to Xiao Yu so that Xiao Yu and the others could come forward to do this.
It's just that the eldest princess doesn't give face, so he has to do it himself.
Almost overnight, a peculiar notice was posted on the streets of the entire city of Chang'an.
The title of the notice is very atmospheric, called 'Who is the most powerful person in Dawei!' ’
