Looking at Wang Yuntian and the others, and then listening to the shouting and killing sound coming from almost all directions outside, Chen Shijie was very puzzled, "What is going on?" ”

Shen Huan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just the voice of the Jiangning Mansion Forbidden Army capturing and killing your group of Manichaean rebels."

"What did you say?!" Chen Shijie couldn't believe his ears!

"Chen Shijie, first of all, I really admire your plan, the Jiangyin robbery at the beginning, the framing of the blame is indeed as you think, it is very successful in diverting our attention, making us do a lot of useless investigations, and we did not notice your final conspiracy at the first time. It's a pity that a wise man must make a mistake, and you still did a few stupid things! This first thing is your action to hunt down Wang Yuntian! ”

"After robbing the tributes and killing Wang Yuntian and them, things were exactly as you thought, and the imperial court quickly issued a document to catch the sea, which attracted the people in the rivers and lakes to attack the four of them. In order to make your plan go more smoothly, you also participated in this hunt, and your original intention was nothing more than to have no proof of death! As long as Wang Yuntian and the others die, this matter will be over, and no one in this world will know the whereabouts of that batch of tribute! In order to successfully kill Wang Yuntian and the four of them, you did not deliberately conceal your identity, your purpose is nothing more than to let Wang Yuntian and them guess who you are, so that they will be suspicious and show their flaws! Sure enough, things are the same as you think, under the continuous attacks of the masters of the rivers and lakes and your psychological tactics, Wang Yuntian and the others are all seriously injured and dying! But at this time, something unexpected happened, Ye Feixue suddenly appeared and saved the four of them! ”

"After saving Wang Yuntian and the four of them, they told me about the ghost-faced man who chased and killed them, I didn't know what this ghost-faced person represented at that time, I only knew that this person was probably the culprit who robbed the tribute. At first, you robbed the tribute and set up the blame, just to get something and divert the attention of the government, but when you found out that I didn't suspect you, and continued to investigate the ethereal ghost-faced man, I think you must have been overjoyed, right? Because as long as the identity of that ghost-faced man is not revealed, then you can develop believers in Jiangyin City in a grand manner! No one will ever relate to you about this! ”

However, a few days later, Tie Wushuang suddenly appeared! His appearance has changed this matter again! In his mouth, I finally knew that the ghost-faced man represented you Manichaeism! However, the exposure of this identity did not shatter your plans, but instead showed you a shortcut to achieve your goal more quickly! Here I also have to admire your demagogic methods, after a few days of development and publicity, you have indeed bewitched a lot of believers in the city, which makes you see the opportunity! So you ordered the entire village of Dafeng to be slaughtered, and left behind enough evidence to show your identity at the scene! Its purpose is to provoke our wrath and conflict with you! Because you know that without any evidence, no one will believe that you are the murderers who slaughtered Dafeng Village! When the time comes, you will deliberately guide and cause a riot in the city! Create a chance for you to take the city! And later, the death of Zeng Laosan's family was actually for this! However, unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as you imagined, and we still forcibly suppressed our anger and did not act rashly. And this is a result you don't want to see, so you choose another option, poison! ”

"Speaking of poisoning, I have to say the second stupid thing you did, and that is that you appeared so suddenly. According to what you said at the time, you came to visit Wang Yuntian after learning about them. At the time, you were still their "best friend", and it was not surprising that you came to visit them when you learned the news, but you just ignored the time! The distance from Jiangyin to Qiantang is not short, even if it is at an expedited speed of 600 miles, it will take nearly a day! At that time, the news of Wang Yuntian's surrender had just spread, and you were far away in Qiantang, but you had already gotten the news, could you have clairvoyance and ears! I thought it was a little strange at the time, but I didn't think much of it, because I thought you might have learned the news by accident on the way to Jiangyin, and later I realized that I was wrong, and you actually appeared in front of us for this poisoning case! ”

"The reason why you chose to poison is to cause panic in the city, and then to cause a riot, as I said before! But what you never expected was that I would be able to detoxify! I guess you were surprised, right? So you have to hide your manpower, because you know that if you rashly appear again when the overall situation is already stable, it will inevitably attract more attention, and it is very likely that many irrelevant variables will be born! However, you seem to have calculated all this, because you know that I will not risk the people to come into contact with places where they may come into contact with poison when the source of the poison is unknown, and you expect that I will only be able to distribute rice and grain in the city! And you also know that the government is not allowed to open warehouses to release grain in non-catastrophic years, and my only choice is to buy grain from the rice shops in the city! ”

"You need money to buy grain, and the gold and silver in the treasury of Jiangyin City can't afford to buy so much grain, so you appeared at this time! Although you seem to have helped us solve our urgent needs, your most fundamental purpose is to find out how long our food can last! Because you know that when you run out of food, there will be riots in the city! All you need to do is have your people lightly fan the flames there, and you can cause a riot in the city! And that day is the time for you to act! ”

"After you learned how much food there was, you started to deploy the operation in full swing, but what you never expected was that the small temple on Qinwang Mountain was inadvertently discovered by us! It is your secret stronghold, and once it is exposed, and once the looted tribute inside is discovered, then your plans will be completely exposed! But at that time, your plan was already imminent, and if you postponed it any longer, once the grain and grass from the surrounding counties arrived, your plan would be completely shattered! However, at this time, you find that the exposure of the small temple does not seem to be as bad as you think, because you find that we did not uproot the small temple in the first place, but only stood still, only watching in the dark. You'll be overjoyed by this discovery, because you see a more secure plan of action! That is to abandon the car and protect the handsome, and turn the tiger away from the mountain! ”

"In order to achieve this plan, and to monitor our movements more intuitively, you quietly kidnapped Song Shi and disguised himself as him to blend in with me, and you also asked your subordinates to pretend to be you and actively expose that tunnel to us! You'd expect that when I saw that tunnel, I would think about what it did! You also expect that I will definitely ask Captain Pang to garrison Jiangyin City in the future! You are also more sure that after I know that the small temple is your stronghold, I will definitely take Ye Feixue and most of the people of the Love Alliance to attack the small temple! ”

"Under normal circumstances, the army can only enter the city except in the event of war or special circumstances, and the army is not allowed to enter the county at will without the instructions of the county commander and the county lieutenant. However, things are just as you might expect at the beginning, I really went to ask Captain Pang after seeing that tunnel! Your men and horses drove into the county right under our noses in such a grand manner! Then it's time, the food and grass will be consumed at the same rate as you expected, and the city will soon be unstable, and you will only need to carry out your plan after we have made a desperate attempt to attack the small temple that you are using as bait! Things are almost exactly what you thought they would be, but the third stupidity you did completely destroyed your plot! Do you know what you're most wrong about? That is, you should never pretend to be Song Shi! It's full of flaws! ”

"What's the flaw?" Chen Shijie stared at Shen Huan and asked.

"Although you disguise your appearance, but you can't disguise your voice, so you pretend that you have a cold to avoid my ears and eyes, am I right? However, you didn't expect that my brother is a very picky eater, and he is generally a meat eater and absolutely not a vegetarian! Even if he is infected with the wind and cold and doesn't want to eat meat, there is one dish that he will never touch! That's celery! But when I came back that day, I found that my brother had become very fond of celery! I was amazed! It is impossible for a person's appetite to change so dramatically overnight! That day I pretended to tell you that you still love celery so much, but you replied that you have always loved it when you were a child! Your answer made me realize that my brother has probably been replaced! There's a good chance that the one who stayed with me was a Manichaean undercover agent! And before that, that fake Chen Shijie also showed flaws! At that time, in order not to arouse my suspicion, you pretended to be sick and returned to the room to rest, and asked that fake Chen Shijie to take us to that tunnel. But have you ever thought that your Manichaean religion is an organization that has been able to fight against the Righteous Alliance for so many years! The master of the sect is like a cloud, and he has been followed by a rich boy who has no power to be caught for so long? It's incredible! Thinking of the situation when you appeared in front of me with that fake Chen Shijie, I can't help but wonder if that fake Chen Shijie is also an undercover agent of the Manichaean cult lurking beside me! However, all this was just my speculation at the time, and there was no conclusive evidence, and I was thinking that it was very possible that my brother Song Shi would have become a celery eater within two years of my absence! In order to confirm whether you are Song Shi or not, I pretended to ask you to write a letter home, but something surprising to me happened! You didn't hesitate to say yes and wrote the letter very quickly! I guess you don't know yet, right? Although my brother has been reading books for a few years, he can't write many words at all! Even if it is written, it is crooked! But the strange thing is that the letter written from your hand is very neatly written! ”

"At the same time, Tie Wushuang also came back to tell me that he had confirmed that the little temple was a secret stronghold of your Manichaeism! The exposure of that little temple reminded me of a piece of paper with the Sutra of the Past Born that I got by chance from that temple that day! When I compare your letter with the handwriting on paper, I am amazed to see that both handwriting are by the same person! There was no one else in that little temple but the Manichaeans! So I finally confirmed that my brother Song Shi has been replaced by you! And I was also suspicious of that fake Chen Shijie at the time, and I wondered if it could be that the Manichaean people replaced the people in the same way! Therefore, I asked Tie Wushuang to send someone to follow him secretly, and finally found the real Song Shi in the inn where you were! It was also from his mouth that I learned that the person who kidnapped him was you, Chen Shijie! ”

"The exposure of your identity with that fake Chen Shijie made me overturn all my previous speculations, I don't understand why you took the initiative to expose your secret passage to me? I rethought the case, and I immediately thought of Captain Pang! When you arrived in Jiangyin City, it was the grain you bought from Juntun that was escorted in by Captain Pang. Because of the revelation of your identity, I immediately became suspicious of your original actions! I asked myself over and over again, if I were you, where would I choose to poison in order to cause a riot in the city? I think there's only one answer, and that's your soup kitchen! Only in this way can we poison so many people at the same time to the greatest extent and in the most insidious! Thinking of this, I immediately became suspicious of Captain Pang's identity! The grain in the military camp is stored in a special granary, and there are guards guarding it on weekdays, and it is almost impossible to poison the grain in the granary under heavy guards! And you did just that! Then in the end there is only one explanation! That's Captain Pang, and you're Manichaeans! ”

"In order to confirm my suspicions, I secretly asked Tie Wushuang to fetch some food from the poisoned patient's family for me, and fed it to the chickens, who, as I imagined, died of poisoning soon after eating the rice! It was also here that I finally confirmed the identity of Captain Pang! It was at that moment that a mystery was solved, that is, why was the Praetorian Guard who was escorting the tribute so unsuspecting? ”

"These soldiers of the forbidden army are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles! Even if you are the best at it, you can't do it this way! And after confirming the true identity of Captain Pang, all this got a reasonable explanation! That's when you let your killer pretend to be a sergeant, and pretend to be an escort! At this point, all the truth finally came to my eyes! ”

"Captain Pang's exposure made me immediately understand why you exposed that secret passage to me, your purpose is nothing more than to cause me to panic, let me introduce Captain Pang into the city, and transfer the tiger away from the mountain to attack the small temple that is already an empty shell, and you take advantage of our absence to take the opportunity to seize the city!"

"After realizing all this, I immediately asked Uncle Li and Liu Zhixian and other county officials to jointly write a letter, and quickly sent it to Jiangning! After learning the news here, Hou Jing, the general of Zuo Wuwei, immediately led his 20,000 forbidden troops to set off from Jiangning by boat overnight! Due to the northwesterly winds of these two days, the time for a day and a night under the wind and water was enough to get here. In order not to alarm you, the army is stationed in Yinsha on the other side of the Yangtze River, and will march from the opposite bank after nightfall today, and arrive here! Wipe them all out! That's what you're hearing right now! ”

When Chen Shijie heard this, he couldn't believe it, "Impossible! Even if you have 20,000 forbidden troops, I have 3,000 garrisons! You can't have breached the city so quickly! ”

Before Chen Shijie's words fell, he saw countless sharp arrows shot out from all around, killing all the Manichaean bows and arrows that were originally ambushed around the county office!

At this time, Jiangyin City was brightly lit, and every street was full of forbidden army guards, looking at the forbidden army soldiers who wanted to surround themselves, the fear in the hearts of the Manichaeans who were still in the county government was indescribable! At this moment, Hou Jing, the general of Zuo Wuwei, walked in from outside the gate of the county ya, threw something at Chen Shijie's feet, and looked at the head of Captain Pang! It wasn't until this moment that Chen Shijie believed Shen Huan's words! Their people are all finished!

Looking at Chen Shijie, Shen Huan spoke again: "I think you must be wondering why your three thousand soldiers and horses were defeated so quickly, right?" In fact, the reason is very simple, it is you yourself who opened a channel for me! It's the tunnel you use to throw bricks and attract jade! Although General Hou has 20,000 forbidden troops, it is indeed difficult to break through the city garrisoned by 3,000 men and horses, but with that tunnel, it is different! You exposed that secret passage to me, and then you decided that I would take strict precautions against it, so it is useless for you! But with me, this secret passage is very useful! The entrance to the secret passage was already outside the city, and when General Hou's army arrived, the army could directly lead to the city through this secret passage! And at this time, at the exit, the brothers of the Love Alliance have been waiting for a long time! After taking them out of the secret passage, he led the army to the city wall! The abandoned mansion was already close to the city walls, and you didn't know it beforehand, so you couldn't put up an effective resistance! Therefore, Jiangyin City is back in our hands! ”

"What? Chen Shijie, are you allowed to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and don't you allow me to plan for it? The reason why I deliberately fell into your so-called trap today is actually to lure you out, so as to catch you all! Here and now, you have no way back! Let's get caught! ”

Chen Shijie gritted his teeth and said: "There is no way back? Hum! You're just lucky! I won't accept it if it's planted in your hands like this! It's a big deal, the fish is dead today! ”
