Xin Bi stood beside him, saw Xun Chen's face change greatly, and asked in a low voice, "Youruo, what happened?" ”

Xun Chen said: "Something big happened, it's very serious. ”

Immediately, Xun Chen came to Wang Lei's side and said in a deep voice: "Lord, I just got the news that the great Confucian, who teaches in the academy, has three people in a row who have fallen into the water and died. This matter has already spread in the academy. ”

Wang Lei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xun Chen shook his head and said, "What is going on, I haven't investigated it yet." At the moment, only these three people died one after another, and the time of death was very strange, the day before yesterday, yesterday, today, one death a day. ”

Zheng Xuan's expression was tense and he said, "I remember, the day before yesterday, there was indeed a great Confucian who was coaching and fell into the water. The old man thought that it was not impossible for someone to fall into the water and die, so he didn't take it to heart, why did someone die yesterday and today? ”

Liu Hong said worriedly: "One death a day, I guess, there must be someone with ill intentions who is secretly pushing it." If this is the case, there may be a big Confucian overboard tomorrow. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the people in the room changed greatly.

At this critical moment, Wang Lei immediately made a decision and said: "Please rest assured, I will immediately dispatch soldiers to protect the great Confucianism of the academy." At the same time, I will also send someone to investigate the matter and give a result as soon as possible. ”

Immediately, Wang Lei shouted: "Huang Zhong! ”

"The last general!"

Huang Zhong strode in and said respectfully.

Wang Lei instructed: "Return to the city immediately, notify Fu Zhi, and ask him to send a thousand soldiers to the academy to protect all the great Confucians." At the same time, Jia Xu was informed that he would make every effort to investigate the matter. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong nodded and quickly left the academy.

Wang Lei looked at Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong and others again, and said: "Judging from the current situation, someone must have planned it." Now is an extraordinary time, and the princes will stay in the academy for the time being, and do not move around. I took Xun Chen and Xin Bi to see the family of the late Confucian. When a loved one dies, they must be sad and helpless, and I will personally visit them to comfort them. ”

Zheng Xuan's back straightened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "As a person from the academy, how can you stand by and watch? Besides, this is just a simple assassination, can it be more serious than the disaster of the party? There is nothing to be afraid of, the old man goes with the state pastor. ”

Liu Hong continued: "Brother Kang Cheng is reasonable, he must go." ”

Immediately afterwards, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and others opened their mouths to echo.

Seeing everyone's resolute expressions, Wang Lei said gratefully: "Thank you, princess!" ”

After a pause, Wang Lei said: "In this case, let's go together." As he spoke, Wang Lei looked at Xun Chen again and ordered: "Let the people who report the news lead the way and visit them one by one." ”

"Yes!"

Xun Chen nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.

Under the protection of the soldiers, the group left the academy and went to the first Confucian to die. Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong and Wang Lei sat in a carriage, Zheng Xuan was sitting precariously and said: "Zhou Mu, the people behind this assassination must be found out. Even the great Confucian who taught in the academy did not let go, and he was simply mad. ”

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Kang Chenggong, I will definitely find out the murderer behind the scenes." This assassination, I am afraid that some people are jealous of the effect of the academy and want to scare away the great Confucian of the academy. ”

"It's possible!"

Liu Hong nodded, agreeing with Wang Lei's analysis.

Zheng Xuan's eyes were full of anger, and he said, "Such a person is even more hateful." ”

Pang Degong's eyebrows were upside down, murderous, and he said in a deep voice: "After finding out the people behind the scenes, you must let the scholars of the world know about his evil deeds." Whoever it is, there must be a price. ”

This era is the world of scholars.

The assassination of the Great Confucian, especially the Great Confucian who taught in the academy, is even more unforgivable.

To do so is to oppose the world's scholars.

Zheng Xuan's words changed, and he suddenly said: "Zhou Mu, could it be Yuan Shao?" ”

"It's possible, but it's impossible to determine who it is." Wang Lei thought for a while and said, "Yellow Turban thieves or something, it's impossible to assassinate Confucian." Yuan Shao and I were at war, and Yuan's army was slow to make a breakthrough, intending to use the assassination of the Great Confucian to disrupt Jizhou and relieve the pressure on the front, which is reasonable. But in addition to Yuan Shao, Li Ru of Chang'an is also suspicious. Who exactly it is, it is not yet possible to determine. ”

Liu Hong said: "I think Yuan Shao is more suspicious. ”

Wang Lei said: "This matter cannot be concluded for the time being. If it is a preconceived thought that it is Yuan Shao, it is easy to affect the judgment. Wait until the verification is clear, and then make a decision. ”

Zheng Xuan nodded and stopped talking.

The group came to the great Confucian who fell into the water and died the day before yesterday, at this time, the family was wearing linen and filial piety, and they were extremely sad. Just imagine, the family is counting on this man, but the pillars suddenly collapsed, and the hesitation of the family can be imagined.

Wang Lei entered the house, comforted Da Ru's family, and instructed Xun Chen to ensure that Da Ru's relatives had no worries about their lives.

After staying for about a quarter of an hour, Wang Lei left with the group.

The second person to visit was the great Confucian who fell into the water yesterday.

The situation of this great Confucian is different. He is not from Ye County, and he came to Ye County alone. After falling into the water and dying, only the attendants from his hometown were left to take care of his afterlife.

Wang Lei expressed his condolences, asked Xun Chen to be responsible for arranging the funeral, and went to the Great Confucianism that fell into the water today.

When he came to the third home, Wang Lei comforted his family again.

After walking three houses in a row, seeing sad faces, Wang Lei's mood was very heavy.

The people behind the scenes are so hateful that they actually attack Confucianism.

Wang Lei sent Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Pang Degong and others back to the academy and the state pastor's mansion to wait for news from Jia Xu. To verify the specific information, you have to rely on the dark department in charge of Jia Xu.

In the second half of the night, Jia Xu hurried over.

Entering the study, Jia Xu bowed and said, "Lord, after careful verification, I haven't found any clues for the time being. I have locked my suspicions on Yuan Shao and Li Ru in Chang'an, and I have mobilized the people from the dark department to investigate this matter with all my might. It is estimated that it will take three to five days to get the news. ”

Wang Lei thought for a while and ordered: "The dark department is investigating in secret, and on the bright side, someone must also investigate." You are personally responsible for this and cannot be sloppy. Once the safety of the great Confucians is not guaranteed, it will be extremely detrimental to us. ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will take care of it." However, people who read books are arrogant. This time, the assassination incident should be made public. The reader knows that the people behind the scenes want to threaten the lord with assassination, and use assassination to intimidate and make trouble, and the arrogance in his bones bursts out, and he will definitely not leave easily, and he can even unite people's hearts for the lord. ”

"Good suggestion, worth doing." Wang Lei nodded.

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "In this case, the lower officials will do their best to operate this matter and hold public opinion and momentum in their hands. In this way, even if there are repeated assassination incidents, they will not be too passive. ”

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Yes, just do it." ”

"In this case, the lower officials will arrange it and take the situation into their hands."

Jia got up to say goodbye, and Wang Lei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that no matter how Jia Xu alleviates it, he needs a result in the end, and the person behind the scenes must be found out.
