Chapter 134: Pushing the Boat Downstream
Su Sheng had never been to the helm of the Shipwreck Mountain, and he did not understand the complicated situation of the Ming Sect, so he did not answer easily, and listened carefully on the side.
Under Wen Xuan's persuasion, Mu Chong suddenly opened his mouth and said in a condensed voice: "In this way, the so-called rebellion in the Qinglong Hall was caused by the promotion of various elders and hall masters in the sect? ”
Wen Xuan was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice to the two henchmen: "If I am not mistaken, not only the elders, but even my father is also involved. ”
"Wenbo?" Mu Chong was a little surprised.
Wen Xuan said in a low voice: "I don't have conclusive evidence, it's just speculation." ”
"If you think about it, aside from the apostate Weishui Altar and the remote Fangri Altar, the Jiaomu Altar on Huizhou Road and the Ditu Altar on Pingjiang Road are conservatives, and the Jihuo Altar on Huzhou Road and the Kangjin Altar on Hangzhou Road are the main battle factions.
"On the contrary, this Wenzhou Xinyue Altar never moves at all on weekdays, does not listen to the orders of the two factions, and never participates in the fight, why did Wang Fuzhi suddenly enter the sea to take refuge in Cai Chaotou after we arrived in Taizhou? Why did he secretly help us and inform Yuan Bing of the exact time when Cai Rantou landed on the shore and entered the village in advance? ”
Mu Chong was even more puzzled after hearing this, "Could it be that Wang Fuzhi is a member of the Wen family?" But if that's the case, Wen Bo should have told you his true identity a long time ago, why did he hide it until now? ”
Wen Xuan smiled bitterly: "I'm just guessing, and there are still many doubts that can't be explained clearly." ”
Su Sheng said: "Maybe you're thinking too much? This Wang Fuzhi may have defected to the Yuan court long ago like Qiu Si, and the news to the Yuan soldiers was just to help Kang Liwei encircle and suppress the Haikou. ”
"There is also this possibility, so you must be careful when you go to Wenzhou." Wen Xuan once again told Su Sheng to pay attention to safety.
Su Sheng's heart warmed, and he regained his hippie smile and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely figure out the details of Wang Fuzhi." Said that he would bow and retreat, and prepare to rush to Wenzhou overnight.
"You just woke up, it's important to recuperate, I'll go and ask someone to get you some food first, and it's not too late to talk about other things later." Mu Chong also helped Wen Xuan to lie down again.
"Let's tell Brother Li and Brother Sheng about the matter of Night Shadow when the time is right, after all, they are loyal to the Ming Sect, and I am afraid that they will be dissatisfied with this matter." Wen Xuan admonished.
"Don't worry, I know it."
The war was over temporarily, and the purpose of going down the mountain was basically achieved, Wen Xuan's heart was finally much more relaxed, and he fell asleep again after eating something with Mu Chong......
Unlike the victorious side, Kang Liwei, who returned to the Taizhou Mansion, is now full of sorrow, sitting in his study with a worried face and thinking about countermeasures.
The fiasco of Wanhe Village is an indisputable fact, and hundreds of soldiers are also drawn from various prefectures and counties, and it is absolutely impossible to hide this matter from the imperial court, so they can only find other ways to escape responsibility.
Kang Liwei was frowning and had no good solution, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"My lord, it's me."
Kang Liwei heard Li Chahan's voice as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and without waiting to tidy up his appearance, he immediately rushed over to open the door in person, held Li Chahan's forearm and said, "Can you inquire about the movements of those demon sect demons?" ”
Richard Han smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, my lord, listen to me tell you slowly. ”
"Speak quickly!" Kang Liwei urged impatiently.
Li Chahan said unhurriedly: "There is no news of the group of demons led by Wen Xuan after they evacuated from Wanhe Village, and it is not known where they are now, but another incident that happened in Taizhou in the past two days is more likely to be related to them. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Cai Chaotou is dead, and his old nest Wuyao Island has also changed owners."
Kang Liwei was a little surprised, "Cai Chaotou is dead?" When was this? How did he die? ”
Richard Han said eloquently, "Even we were ambushed by Wen Xuan in Wanhe Village, not to mention Cai Chaotou, who Wen Xuan and other demons regarded as rebellious? Presumably he must have been ambushed and killed after being routed by us. ”
Kang Liwei remembered Qiu Si, who was killed by Wen Xuan at the festival, and agreed: "Cai Chaotou is an apostasy into the sea, and it is expected that Wen Xuan's temperament will take revenge on him. ”
Richard Han continued: "Besides, no one in the world even knew that we were defeated at the hands of the Demon Cult demons, but they all said that it was the increasingly rampant pirates who defeated us. ”
"Rumors?" Kang Liwei raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and he didn't dare to be careless in his heart.
"Yes, it is said that a salt seller named Fang Guozhen personally killed Cai Chaotou and occupied Wuyao Island instead, and also sent people to issue notices in the territory of Taizhou, instigating fishermen and salt to join them, and openly erecting anti-flags to provoke the imperial court."
"Who is Fang Guozhen?" Kang Liwei asked suspiciously.
Li Chahan reminded: "Do you remember the case of the bloody washing of the county government in Huangyan County? ”
Kang Liwei nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember." ”
Li Chahan, who had been prepared for a long time, said: "I have already sent someone to Huangyan to confirm that the two villains who committed murder in the county government that day were Wen Xuan and this Fang Guozhen!" ”
Kang Liwei took a deep breath, "Since Fang Guozhen and Wen Xuan are also in the same group, then these rumors must be Wen Xuan making trouble behind his back." ”
"Probably so."
"Instead of playing the banner of Mingjiao, he pretended to be a Haikou and provoked us unscrupulously, what kind of idea is this Wen Xuan playing?"
Richard Han smiled: "Regardless of what his idea is, I think it's a good thing for adults." ”
"I want to hear about it."
"The Haikou Rebellion is no better than the Demon Sect and the demons, it is a long-standing disaster along the coast of eastern Zhejiang, and it has been deeply rooted long before the adults take office."
Kang Liwei raised a hint of interest, "Go on." ”
Li Chahan explained the plan and plan he came up with in his heart, and said confidently: "In the battle of Wanhe Village, we can use the rumors of their walk, and push the boat down the river to report to the imperial court that it is the Lord who personally led the soldiers to kill the Haikou. Although he was unfortunately defeated after the battle, he also managed to kill the leader of the pirates, Cai Chaotou, and thwarted the arrogance of the pirates. It was also a defeat, but as long as the reason was shifted to Haikou, the attitude of the imperial court would inevitably be very different. ”
"Great idea! I didn't think of that! ”
Kang Liwei praised it and laughed wildly, and sighed: "What a way to be endless! In this way, even if the imperial court blames the defeat of Wanhe Village, it is just some painless punishment. I went to write an excerpt and took the initiative to ask the court for guilt, and explained the reason for the defeat of Wanhe Village. ”
