Chapter 110: Treasure Map
He Wei and Lu Bozhi came after getting the news, Xu You has already walked most of the entire West Market, he is approachable, no shelf, informal, and really mingle with the general public, showing a very positive and positive image, it can be said that the influence caused by this inspection alone is enough to greatly reduce the gap between the Chu and Liang people, and it is also worth the results of the hard work of hundreds of thousands of Peng subordinates in the General's Mansion for several years.
It is difficult to win the hearts of the people, and it is easy to win the hearts of the people, the people are not fools, whoever puts the people in their hearts, the people will lift him high, let the wind blow, let the rain not fall!
This is the most powerful force!
"Shichiro, the assassination is no trivial matter, and it should not be taken lightly. I suggest that the Liu family be secretly arrested and handed over to the winter solstice for interrogation, and that they will return to their hometown to avoid triggering discussions between the government and the opposition. ”
He Wei felt that Xu You's practice of personally buying the hearts of Xiliang people was very good, but it was all a superficial article for the people to see, and now that the play was over, as long as the old Liu Tou's family was arrested unknowingly and coerced him to confess the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Since I promised to let him go, I will break my word and get fat, lose my trust in small people, lose my trust in my own affairs, and never know anything, as long as I do it, I will definitely be blamed for it, don't forget, the people's hearts cannot be bullied, and the people cannot be bullied!"
This is the biggest difference between Xu You and He Wei, He Wei can have no bottom line and no principles in order to achieve his goal, act unscrupulously, only look at the result, and do not ask about the process. But Xu You is more persistent, doing something and not doing something, it is this insistence that allows the two to form a wonderful complementary relationship, one can be the master, the other can be the master, and will not go to the extreme of opposites.
Lu Bozhi said: "Since that person dares to instruct Lao Liu Tou to assassinate, he is not afraid that he will be tortured and confessed, and it is estimated that he does not know anything about the identity of the so-called benefactor, and the trial is useless, but he will tell the truth and sow trouble." ”
He Wei shrugged his shoulders and said: "The so-called wild goose has left traces, as long as Lao Liu Tou confesses the details of their relationship, there is always a way to find clues...... However, what Shichiro said is not unreasonable, maybe this person is waiting for us to arrest Lao Liu, and then deliberately spread rumors to slander Shichiro's reputation...... That's it, it's good to count him, when he meets a general like Shichiro who loves the people like a son, spare him! ”
Listening to this ridicule, Xu You didn't care about him, and said: "Actually, I don't need Lao Liutou's confession, I know who is behind the ghost!" He turned his head to ask Qingming, and said, "Is there any news from the winter solstice?" ”
"As of last night, Zhu Yuanying hasn't let go!"
"What a bone of iron!"
Xu You praised it, although he is an opponent, it is really surprising that Yuanying can survive until now, especially since he is still an ordinary person who does not know martial arts, this endurance is not comparable to few people, and said: "Send someone to inform the winter solstice, take him into the city tonight, I should also have a good talk with this Mr. Zhu!" ”
Back at the General's Mansion, Tan Zhuo asked about the assassination, and Xu You quipped: "After eating a bowl of good noodles that fit the taste, I met a cool man who is not afraid of death, which is a worthwhile trip." By the way, what did you say, did you agree? ”
"With the conditions that the general gave him, there is really no reason not to agree!" Tan Zhuo said a rare joke and said: "And Zhang Yegong is very obedient, and he went home directly after leaving the house, and he didn't even dare to go to the West Market to join in the fun." ”
Everyone laughed, and Lu Bozhi stroked his beard and said: "After all, Lu Shuihu is also suspected of assassinating the general, it is better for him not to go, at this juncture, there is no room for the slightest mistake......"
In fact, if you really want to plant a blame, it makes no sense to go or not, but it is always good to be low-key and unassuming, Xu You plans to let Fuqu Wugu take over Liangzhou, which will definitely cause Zhu Zhi's backlash, and in the game, the side with fewer handles can win.
That night, the winter solstice secretly escorted Zhu Yuanying from Dingcheng into Chang'an, and left him in Dingcheng before, because he wanted to set up an ambush there and attract people from six days to come to the rescue, after all, Chang'an was heavily guarded, and he may have been powerless for six days, who knew that after waiting in Dingcheng for so long, there was still no action for six days, but there was chaos on the Chang'an side.
"Mr. Zhu's complexion is not bad, better than I expected!"
In the back hall, Zhu Yuanying changed his clothes, his hair was tied up to the back of his head, he was not tied, he knelt on the futon, and there was no trace of torture on his face alone, but as long as he looked closely, he knew that this person's mind was on the verge of collapse, and he could burst at any time.
"Thanks to the general's blessing, I can eat well and sleep well, and my natural complexion is not much worse." Zhu Yuanying's throat was completely ruined due to the torture, like a rusty axe slowly cutting through the cracked iron plate, listening to it made Ren scratch his heart and liver, very uncomfortable.
"That's good, I'm still afraid that the winter solstice hand will be heavy and hurt Mr. Zhu." Xu You's smile remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear that Zhu Yuanying's voice was wrong, and the sequelae of waterboarding could not be avoided.
When Zhu Yuanying heard the name of the winter solstice, his eyes inadvertently converged, and it was conceivable how much psychological shadow the winter solstice had caused him in just a few days.
"During the day, I met the assassination ...... in Chang'an West City" Xu You suddenly went straight to the point, staring at Zhu Yuanying, observing any slight changes in him.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanying's body tightened up at that moment, but the amplitude was extremely small, if it weren't for Xu Youming's illumination of everything, it would be basically difficult to detect, he said lightly: "Fortunately, the general is fine!" ”
Xu You had a bottom in his heart, and said: "The person who assassinated me is an old cook, who doesn't know martial arts, and his family background is innocent, he knows that he can't kill me, but he still risked the lives of the whole family without hesitation." Mr. Zhu, can you tell me who is behind him? ”
Zhu Yuanying said indifferently: "As a prisoner, how do you know what is going on in the world?" ”
"I wish Mr. Humility! In this way, I will talk about the inference, if it is not correct, please correct Mr. Zhu! ”
"General, please!"
"Xishi, a place where ordinary people live, during the day, in full view of everyone, I brought more subordinates and guards, and randomly chose the shops along the street to enter, no matter how you look at it, this is not a good opportunity for assassination, but I was touched by the assassin and successfully stabbed the knife."
"This is not an assassination, but a warning! Warn me that I can do everything in six days, send an old cook this time, and I can send a little grandmaster next time, I am in the open, and I can't guard against it! ”
"Why warn me? Naturally, it is for Mr. Zhu! You are in my hands, and I want to save you in six days, but I also know that I can only fall into the trap arranged in advance by storming Dingcheng, so I use this method to demonstrate, in addition to demonstrating, there is also the meaning of wanting to negotiate, which is really wonderful! ”
Zhu Yuanying was silent.
"However, six days of a hundred secrets, it is precisely because of this assassination that I am shocked to realize that Mr. Zhu is so important, so important that he will not hesitate to assassinate the general of Chu in six days to save you...... Even if you are not the Four Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Palace, your status should not be low......"
Xu You paused, and said slightly teasingly: "Mr. Zhu doesn't refute, which means that my inference is okay." So, what should I do next, should I obediently make peace with Liutian, and then hand over Mr. Zhu for peace, or walk in the dark, continue to keep Mr. Zhu, and wait for six days to throw himself into the net? ”
Silence, still silence.
"Mr. Zhu, give you half an hour to think clearly, I am entangled in military affairs, and I don't have much time to spend with you. Half an hour later, if you don't speak, then I'm sorry, tomorrow morning, I will order someone to escort you to the West Market, and tie you naked to the flagpole to expose you...... Xu couldn't do anything else, but he was bold enough to want to kill me for six days, even if he came to kill me. I want to see that such an important person as you is humiliated naked in front of everyone, and they can't bear to do it? ”
Xu You stood up and turned around and left without hesitation, his words were like knives, and he was really in power, saying nothing about it, and the pressure on Zhu Yuanying was even greater than the torture of the winter solstice. When he walked to the door of the room, he heard Zhu Yuanying's voice behind him: "I am one of the two major offerings of Fengmen......"
"Damper? Consecrate? ”
Xu You stopped, a smile overflowed from the corner of his lips, and said, "I wish Mr. Zhu the best way to figure it out, so as not to sweep the floor in trouble." The night is so beautiful, don't rush, let's talk slowly. ”
Can Zhu Yuanying figure it out? He knows his own affairs, even if Xu You doesn't come tonight, he won't be able to withstand it for a few days, sooner or later he will have to confess, rather than being tied up in the West Market to be humiliated and become a bait to hunt and kill his companions, it is better to cooperate with Xu You and change his life.
Six days has a great enmity with him, but Fengmen does not!
What's more, there is still a hole card in his hand that has not been revealed, and at a critical time, he should be able to save his life!
"Which house is the god of the wind gate ruled by?"
"Fengmen is nominally on a par with the Five Heavenly Palaces, under the command of the Absolute Yin Heavenly Palace, but in fact it has been independent of the Six Heavens since twenty years ago. However, if the order of the Great God does not have too much conflict of interest with the wind gate, it can be obeyed as appropriate......"
Fengmen has always been very mysterious, Xu You had dealt with them in Qiantang, and he thought it was a subordinate intelligence agency for six days, but after listening to Zhu Yuanying's explanation, he realized that he was a little taken for granted.
The Six Heavens are never monolithic, and the gods have their own evil intentions, each doing its own thing, similar to a loose alliance of common beliefs, rather than the absolute centralization of Sun Guan, as in the way of the Heavenly Master.
"What rank does the offering belong to?"
"There is one wind lord under the wind gate, two people under it, and then there is ...... under it"
In other words, Zhu Yuanying is the second-in-command who has been removed from the wind lord in the wind gate, no wonder someone will plan to save it, if you change to another small role, you will ignore your life or death?
"Who is the Wind Lord?"
Zhu Yuanying said: "The wind lord's surname is Ge, his name is Song Qiao, and his nickname is Xiao Xian Weng, and he is the son of the Danyang Ge clan!" ”
"Ge Songqiao? Isn't he dead? "Xu You has heard this name, Danyang Ge is also Jiangdong Gaomen, one of the most important branches of Taoism, a hundred years of famous scholars, this Ge Songqiao Jing Danshu, known as Xiao Xian Weng, later said to have been hit by erysipelas and died.
"The Ge clan believes in the way of the Heavenly Master, and Lord Ge Feng has entered the Wuwei Banner Flower Dao, so he can only cheat his death and leave home, so as not to leave the clan behind."
"I see!"
After asking seven or eight more questions, almost touching the bottom of the wind gate, Xu You asked, "What are you lurking by Zhu Zhi's side for?" ”
Zhu Yuanying hesitated for a moment and said, "For a treasure map!" ”
