"Prime Minister Feng Cheng has arrived~"

"Doctor Goshi has arrived~"

"Qi Neishi to ~~"

One after another, the luxury four-wheeled carriages followed, all of which stopped outside the gate of the Zhongshu Provincial Government, and the officials who got off the carriage also walked straight down the steps to the hall of the government office with serious faces amid the loud announcement of the doorman.

After sending the news of Wang Ben's death for the emperor, Chen Xu took advantage of the fact that the officials of the three provinces and six departments had not yet come, and hurriedly brought several forbidden soldiers who came back to report the news to Zhongshu Province to inquire in detail about Wang Ben's journey to Yanmen Pass and the details of his death.

When Wang Ben came to visit him, Shui Qingrou said that Wang Ben's trip might be dangerous, but Chen Xu didn't believe it at that time, thinking that it was just Shui Qingrou's unreliable speculation, he never believed in that Gu Bu Ziqing's physiognomy, because Yu Wuya had never seen it.

And according to the forbidden army, on the way to Yanmen, I passed through a cave called Heilongkou, in which a black dragon appeared, and the panic caused chaos in the forbidden army, and there were many casualties, Wang Ben may also have vomited blood after being frightened, plus more than ten days of continuous wind and snow before and after, after dealing with the Yanmen Pass after escorting Wang Li and others back to Beijing on the way into a trance fell into the glacier, and soon fell into a coma, and died of illness half a day later.

Chen Xu naturally didn't believe it, and guessed that there must be a natural phenomenon that people in this era can't understand in the valleys and caves of the barren mountains and mountains, such as swarms of bats or wild birds that like to live in caves, etc., because after someone was frightened, it was rumored that they had become monsters, monsters and other creatures.

There are too many things that people in this era are in awe of natural phenomena that they don't understand, but for Chen Xu, all unknown phenomena should be judged and proven by scientific methods.

With the arrival of the chief officials of the three provinces and six departments one after another, the hall of Zhongshu Province was soon full of people, and Chen Xu had no choice but to clean up his chaotic mood and after greeting Feng Quji, Meng Tian and others, he carefully informed everyone of the news he heard from the mouth of the forbidden army.

And after listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone's faces were silent, and even at this time, most people still felt a little unbelievable that Wang Ben had passed away.

"Your Majesty is extremely sad, and entrusts Benhou to convene all his colleagues to discuss the aftermath of the Tongwu Marquis, and now it is almost all here, and you will work together to arrange this matter properly!" Chen Xu bowed his hand to the group of officials present with a solemn face.

"Alas, it's unbelievable, the general has just died, and the Marquis of Tongwu has fallen one after another, this is a bad omen!" The Ministry of Rites ordered Yang Zhu to rub his beard and shake his head and sigh.

"People are born, old, sick and die, and they have been the same since ancient times, so why is it unknown?" Meng Yi frowned slightly, and his eyes swept over all the officials, "The death of the Marquis of Tongwu was indeed sudden, but the funeral of the prince and the prince has its own law, and this matter should still be handled by the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Doctor Meng is reasonable, the matter has come to this point, don't make any more extraneous branches, Yang Li Department quickly convened the government officials to arrange everything, now that the weather is improving, the soul of the Marquis of Tongwu will be returned in five days at most, don't delay the burial time!" Feng Qujian nodded and ordered.

"Yes, the subordinates will arrange it as soon as they go back!" Yang Zhu didn't dare to refute, so he could only agree.

A group of officials came and went like the wind, and after two moments, they all left Zhongshu Province in a hurry, some arranged for people to go to Meiyuan Town to inform the Wang family to prepare the mourning hall and tomb, some began to organize funerals, and some had to prepare obituaries and funeral supplies, etc., a Dingguo Chehou died, as the most meritorious military general in the world of Great Qin, Wang Ben's funeral will inevitably be more grand than Wang Qian.

And the death of the two martial marquis of the Wang family in succession will inevitably set off an unparalleled wave of doubts and speculation among the people, and some people will even link Wang Ben's death with Chen Xu.

Because if it weren't for Chen Xu's provocation of the Yanmen Pass this time, Wang Ben would not have traveled thousands of miles to the north in the wind and snow, and naturally he would not have been frightened and died of overwork on the road.

In fact, before Chen Xu went out, some people had already begun to suspect this.

"Wang Ben really wasn't killed by his virtuous son-in-law with witchcraft?" After everyone left, Meng Yi stood at the gate of Zhongshu Province and whispered to Chen Xu who was standing next to him.

Chen Xu: ......

If he had a knife in his hand at this time, he would have stabbed himself, a cheap old man, to death, but unfortunately he only had a handcuff in his arms at the moment, and he hadn't loaded the ammunition yet.

"How can my father-in-law's heart be so dark, I have a good relationship with Tongwu Hou, not to mention what good is it for me to kill him?" Chen Xu's hateful teeth itched and his cheeks twitched.

"Naturally, there are benefits, when Tongwu Hou and his son sold their real estate and put it into Keju Square, it was worth 50 million ......"

"Hey, 50 million is indeed a huge amount of money, but does my father-in-law look like a person who lacks this money?" Chen Xu gritted his teeth and said.

"Like~" Meng Yi nodded.

"Well, my father-in-law should also be careful, Jiangxi Porcelain Factory now earns millions of dollars a year......" Chen Xu rolled his eyes at Meng Yi lightly.

Meng Yi shuddered slightly and quickly changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Don't be annoyed by the virtuous son-in-law, the old man is just joking, I heard that the virtuous son-in-law used immortal magic to renew the life of the general, and then said that the Marquis of Wu will have a catastrophe in the future, is this true?" ”

Chen Xu was slightly stunned, and then nodded slightly with a strange face.

Chen Xu did say this sentence at the beginning, but it was just a means to cover up the thirteen needles of the ghost gate, not to mention that when Guiguzi saved Wang Qingshou, he said: Whoever saves one person must be a catastrophe. So Chen Xu was in the mood to try it out and pricked Wang Jian with the thirteen needles of this ghost gate to see the effect, so he casually said that Wang Ben would have a catastrophe, in fact, Chen Xu himself didn't believe or think much about this statement, it was just an excuse to cover up the truth.

But I didn't expect it to be a prophecy, Wang Ben is really dead suddenly now, and his death has a lot to do with himself.

Paralyzed, when did Lao Tzu speak so well?

Lao Tzu is a saint who follows his word!

Chen Xu couldn't cry or laugh at the same time, but he was also bitter in his heart.

Meng Yi would not talk to him about this day for no reason, he must have a secret point, and he must have wanted to remind him that someone would use this excuse to provoke the relationship between Chen Xu and the Wang family in the future.

After waking up in an instant, Chen Xu turned to look at Meng Yi and nodded slightly and said: "Mortals have a life in life and death, and it is against the sky to continue life, I have already reminded Tongwu Hou at the beginning, but he insisted on asking me to make a move, and now this calamity seems to have indeed been fulfilled, but I am afraid that Wucheng Hou will not think so, alas! ”

"Why should the virtuous son-in-law sigh, Wang Li only relies on the shadow of the general and the Marquis of Tongwu to have today's status, according to the current identity of the virtuous son-in-law, he can take advantage of the matter of Yanmen to take him to the official, without Wang Jian and Wang Ben, the Wang family is just a toothless tiger, why be afraid!" Meng Yi said with a calm face.

Chen Xu glanced at Meng Yi, and said after comparing a middle finger in his heart: "The Wang family and I get along well, when I sold my land and house, I was funded to build Keju Square, this kindness is enough to make me grateful, I think at the beginning, I also came to ask my father-in-law to ......."

Meng Yi's face trembled slightly and said, "If you speak now, the old man will definitely support you with all his might!" ”

Shameless!

Chen Xu raised countless middle fingers in his heart and said with contempt: "The past is enough, but the general asked me to take good care of his descendants before he died, I can't be untrustworthy, not to mention that the general died not long after the death of the Marquis of Tongwu and suffered again, the two generals have made great contributions to the great Qin Dingding Jiangshan, the little son-in-law can fall into the well, the father-in-law or please go back to the house to rest, and tomorrow will properly arrange the funeral of the Marquis of Tongwu!" ”

"When you continue to suffer from it, be careful to raise tigers, I hope you don't regret it, the old man will go!" Meng Yi frowned slightly and then strode away, and soon left the Zhongshu Provincial Mansion by car.

Chen Xu twitched his cheeks and watched Meng Yi's carriage go away, and then got in the car and left.

This cheap old man is really an old fox, because Wang Jian and Wang Ben are alive in the past, so he has always been respectful to the Wang family, but he didn't expect to learn that Wang Ben died today, and immediately instigated Chen Xu to attack Wang Li, wanting to completely suppress the Wang family in one go.

It seems that the battle between the court is really weird, and there is almost no affection between each other.

However, Chen Xu could also guess Meng Yi's thoughts, and he was still worried that he would cause trouble for Chen Xu in the future because of this incident.

If Wang Ben didn't die, Wang Li would basically not have much resentment towards Chen Xu even if he took the title and went to the official or even in prison, but it was precisely because Chen Xu didn't have the slightest room to turn this matter around in the court, so that Wang Ben had to come forward, which led to Wang Ben's death on the road, which became an indelible hatred.

But if Chen Xu really wants to suppress Wang Li with his current identity and status, Chen Xu feels that he is completely ruthless, if he does this, it will inevitably cause greater suspicion among the people. ()
