Chapter 469: The sound is just to hide people's eyes and ears
After Xiao Lie, the king of Jin, came to Hangzhou Mansion, he paid special attention to his own safety, for fear that he would also be infected, so that when he went to see Xiao Yan in the Assassin's Mansion, he only stayed in front of the door, and did not even enter the room.
So careful, I even got hit!
At this time, he was lying on the bed, his head was dizzy, his whole body was weak and shivering, and the fear of death made him think about many things, especially enlightenment:
Everything in the world is good, but it's not as good as living! If I could have seen the facts earlier and left Kyoto as an expatriate as an official, I wouldn't have used Hangzhou Mansion at this time, and how could I get sick if I hadn't used it?
Outside the door, Chen Qi, the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, was in a hurry, and now things are even more troublesome, the two princes are infected with acne, how should he explain?
The commander on the side comforted Zhou Yun: "Lord Chen, don't be impatient, don't mess up your own formation!" Now it is imperative to send the news to Kyoto, the stakes are high, and we cannot delay! I've heard that the imperial physician sent to Shenzhou has mastered the miraculous cure, and after treatment, the uninfected people will not be afraid of acne and diseases. Since there is such a miraculous cure, we will go straight to Kyoto and send the imperial doctor from Shenzhou, and maybe we can treat the two highnesses! ”
"Lord Zhou is right!" Chen Qi nodded.
Zhou Yun said: "Now the situation in Hangzhou Mansion is serious, although only twenty-three people have acne and have been isolated, but the two highnesses are sick, I am worried that the people in the city may still hide it and not report it." Therefore, I have taken over the Hangzhou Mansion Guard Office to personally dispatch it, and I suggest that when I go to Kyoto, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to transfer soldiers from other guard offices, and transfer 4,000 people, to completely block all the streets in the city, and all martial law, what do Lord Chen and Lord Zhang think? ”
Chen Qi and Zhang Xin nodded, if you want to transfer troops, you must obtain Your Majesty's consent, and the Ministry of War will give an order, and now the situation in Hangzhou Mansion, Your Majesty will definitely agree!
"Do you want to report this matter to His Royal Highness King Tang?" Don't drive Zhang Xin asked.
Zhou Yun said: "His Royal Highness the King of Tang is sick and suffering, don't bother him, since Your Majesty has sent King Jin to be the master, just ask for his opinion on this matter!" ”
Immediately, Zhou Yun asked Xiao Lie, the king of Jin in the house, for his life, Xiao Lie was sighing, naturally he did not object to Zhou Yun's suggestion, and asked him to hurry up to 800 miles to send the situation to Kyoto.
When Zhou Yun was about to receive the order to do it, Zhang Liang came.
Facing Zhang Liang, who suddenly appeared, Zhou Yun, Chen Qi, Zhang Xin and other officials looked puzzled, who this person was
"Whoever lets him in! The government is heavy, how can outsiders trespass! Someone, take him down! As soon as Zhou Yun drank, the soldiers of the surrounding guards immediately surrounded him.
Zhang Liang was not angry, and directly showed the gold medal to everyone.
When Zhou Yun saw it, he was stunned, and then bowed his hands one after another: "Xiaguan to meet your lord!" ”
If I come in person, it means that His Majesty is there in person.
Zhang Liang introduced himself: "This official is Zhan Zhang Liang, the young man of Zhan Shifu, who came to Hangzhou Mansion on the order of the prince to inquire about acne!" I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is also sick? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, back to Lord Zhang, His Royal Highness King Jin didn't know why, he suddenly had a high fever last night, accompanied by cold shivering. Just after discussing with Commander Zhou and Master Zhang, he was about to report the situation to Kyoto, and Commander Zhou suggested that the soldiers of the surrounding guards should be sent to Hangzhou City to guard and block the intersections of various streets in the city! Chen Qi was quick to speak, for fear that the responsibility would be on himself, so he said all the ideas he had just agreed.
Zhang Liang's eyes were on Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun immediately hugged his fists and said, "Please also ask Lord Zhang to make it clear!" ”
Zhang Liang said: "Lord Zhou's suggestion is very good, the two highnesses are in serious condition, this matter must be reported to Kyoto immediately, and soldiers must be sent to martial law throughout the city." But it takes time to send letters to and from Kyoto, and this official now orders Lord Zhou with a gold medal to immediately dispatch the guards of other prefectures! ”
"Yes! Xiaguan will do it! Zhou Yun clenched his fists, and then quickly left here.
After seeing Zhou Yun leave, Zhang Liang was relieved: "Lord Zhou is vigorous and resolute, he is worthy of being born in the army, Lord Chen, Lord Zhang and this Zhou commander are very familiar." ”
Chen Qi, the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, shook his head and said: "I was transferred from Luzhou, and I only had a few encounters with Commander Zhou, and I didn't know each other before, and the lower officials also appreciated Lord Zhou's efficiency. ”
Don't drive Zhang Xin replied: "Xiaguan and Lord Zhou are not very familiar with each other. ”
Zhang Liang nodded, and then knocked on other things, without asking any valuable clues.
On the other hand, Xiao Rui passed the book through the spear falcon and asked Jia Xu and Guo Jia in Kyoto to contact Zhang Hao, who had been transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, to ask him about Zhou Yun's identity, and by the way, to investigate the identity of Chen Qi and Zhang Xin in Hangzhou Mansion, and at the same time asked Ah Zhu to come to Hangzhou Mansion with specially made "special props".
In a flash, the day passed.
The soldiers from the nearby guard station rushed to Hangzhou Mansion one after another, and the spear falcon also sent Jia Xu's information.
Xiao Rui opened the secret letter, which was full of numbers, and then asked Li Yuanfang to translate it into text according to the codebook.
According to Zhang Hao, Zhou Yun once served as Langzhong of the Ministry of War, and was assigned as the deputy commander of the Hangzhou Metropolitan Command Department.
In addition, the secret letter also listed officials who had a good relationship with Zhou Yun, among which Zhang Xin was among them.
Yesterday, Zhang Liang asked them if they were familiar with Zhou Yun, Zhang Xin denied it, it seems that there is something hidden between the two!
As for Chen Qi, the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, this person has an innocent background, he is an official assigned by His Majesty Gou Chen Enzhun, who came here from Luzhou for half a year, and has a timid personality, but he is an official with an excellent reputation.
Xiao Rui read the secret letter and handed it to Zhang Liang, and after Zhang Liang read it, he said: "Your Highness, you can use Chen Qi to lure Zhou Yun and Zhang Xin to take the bait!" Zhou Yun used to serve in the Ministry of War, so he must be familiar with Huo Xingye, could it be that the people behind him are Huo Xingye and Duanwang? They saw the outbreak of acne in Shenzhou, and deliberately set a trap in Hangzhou Mansion to lure His Highness to come? ”
"It's possible, but there's one thing I don't understand, which is that if you want to seduce me into designing, you must be sure that I'm coming? Now that the King of Tang and the King of Jin are sick, it is impossible for His Majesty to send me here, they are not stupid, they should understand this! In other words, we are self-inflicted, they are not targeting me, but only Xiao Yan, after all, he is also a prince! Xiao Rui wondered.
Zhang Liang nodded, he thought about it, and always felt that he missed an important point! Ever since I came to Hangzhou, I always felt that something was wrong.
"Your Highness, let me think... I always feel that there is something wrong with this, that I was negligent! Zhang Liang immediately fell into deep thought.
He began to sort out this matter from the beginning, starting with the outbreak of acne in Shenzhou, and extrapolating backwards in time.
Shenzhou acne... It was twenty-two days ago.
His Majesty sent officials, imperial doctors... It was twenty-one days ago.
All external roads in Shenzhou are blocked... It was eighteen days ago.
Martial law in Gyeonggi... It was fifteen days ago.
"Acne" outbreak in Yangzhou Mansion... It was five days ago.
Unraveling the conspiracy... It was yesterday.
……
Suddenly, Zhang Liang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly guessed another possibility!
"Your Highness, we should have been tricked! Hopefully it's still time! Zhang Liang was anxious, and immediately told Xiao Rui about the estimated situation.
After Xiao Rui heard this, he was also stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly wrote a secret letter and sent it to Kyoto with a spear falcon.
……
Twenty-two days have passed since the outbreak of acne in Shenzhou, and the situation in Shenzhou is becoming increasingly serious. Hua Tuo successfully experimented with the pox method, but it can only prevent the people who are not infected with acne in advance, but those who have been infected can only be isolated, with the belief that life and death are rich and rich, and survive!
The outbreak of acne in Shenzhou is not a man-made cause, no one or force can cause acne, if there is, then this biological and chemical weapon is too powerful.
It can't be triggered, but it can be spread!
When the news of the outbreak of acne in Shenzhou City came back to Kyoto, it also reached the ears and eyes of the enemy country, although His Majesty immediately sent Guo Ziyi to Shenzhou City, and investigated all the state capitals in Shenzhou, and blocked all roads to prevent the sick from leaking. At the same time, other state capitals in the vicinity of Shenzhou were notified to fortify and inspect the situation, and the measures were vigorously and resolutely taken to avoid the spread of acne with unprecedented tension.
At the same time, the secret black hand also found a heaven-sent opportunity to plague the Great Xia Kingdom!
What would happen if the pox spread in the Great Xia Kingdom?
In the past, acne sores spread in Qi and Yuan, killing hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people were poisoned and turned into pockmarks.
Everyone knows how terrible acne is.
Now Great Xia is conquering the State of Qi and the State of Zhao, and its momentum is like a bamboo, if at this critical time, the Xia Kingdom is plagued by pox, it will definitely be a counterattack!
So when there was a pox outbreak in Hangzhou Mansion, Emperor Xia attached great importance to it and directly sent King Jin to take charge of it, and the whole city was blocked, and now the eyes of the imperial court are on Shenzhou and Hangzhou Mansion!
But Hangzhou is thousands of miles away from Shenzhou and has nothing to do with it, so how can it be infected with acne?
His Majesty has suspicions, and Xiao Rui also has suspicions, and the result of his suspicion is that he will inevitably send someone to investigate carefully, and this investigation will find that the "pox" in Hangzhou Mansion is a conspiracy, a trap, in order to take the opportunity to kill the prince, causing panic.
After further investigation, it will also be found that the commander Zhou Yunzheng has sent the soldiers of the guard to Hangzhou Mansion as planned, and it seems that he is carrying out the next conspiracy.
So the people sent will investigate deeply and pass the news to His Majesty and the Crown Prince in Kyoto!
In this way, when His Majesty and Xiao Rui both understood that Hangzhou Mansion was a trap and were ready to find out the people behind the scenes, they never expected that all of this was just the deliberate work of the black hands, and the purpose of their performance in Hangzhou Mansion was to make a noise and cover people's eyes!
If the dark hands get the patients infected with acne in Shenzhou City, where will they send them?
Hangzhou Mansion? Yangzhou Mansion?
Neither.
They have the best and only option, Kyoto!
Once acne breaks out in Kyoto, the damage is unimaginable!
Therefore, they deliberately staged a big drama in Hangzhou Mansion, and the two princes were all infected with "pox", which instantly attracted everyone's attention. When the eyes are drawn away, Kyoto's attention will be reduced, allowing the enemy to seize the opportunity!
This may be the true intention of the people in the shadows!
Why didn't the person in the dark directly take the acne patient to the capital, and what else did he do with this? Isn't it too much trouble?
Because the person in the dark doesn't do this, he can't get a pox patient!
Shenzhou is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and when everyone knows that there is an outbreak of acne in Shenzhou, it means that some patients have passed the early stage and entered the middle and late stages!
At that time, the imperial court immediately took action, blockading Shenzhou and blocking the roads, in this case, even if he got patients with acne, how could he bring them out?
Before I even arrived at the land of Gyeonggi, I guess I was discovered!
But the outbreak of "acne" in Hangzhou is not necessarily, and it is necessary to transfer back from Shenzhou the imperial doctor who knows how to plant pox to Hangzhou and Kyoto, after all, Kyoto is a powerful person, and it is more necessary to get pox. And now that this is indeed the case, His Majesty has given an order to let several imperial doctors return from Shenzhou.
As long as the person in the dark finds a way to deal with the transferred imperial doctor, such as letting the imperial doctor get acne, he will bring the acne out! Naturally, there was no one to stop the imperial doctor from leaving Shenzhou, and even his return to Kyoto was unimpeded.
Although the journey of 1,000 miles is very long, the rash on his body has not yet appeared when the imperial doctor rushes back to Kyoto, and he is a big mobile tumor.
Then what the consequences will be, can be imagined.
It's all an interlocking conspiracy that has deceived everyone.
After Zhang Liang realized this situation, he immediately sent a letter back to Kyoto, so that Jia Xu and Guo Jia could learn about it, and at the same time hoped that everything would be in time!
