Chapter 123: Crisis (continued)

Late at night, in Xiyang City, the curfew has already begun, and on the streets of most areas of the city, except for the soldiers and horses patrolling the city, there is no figure to be seen at all, and only in a specific area, the all-night fun is not affected. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the increasing prosperity of Xiyang's business activities, more and more merchants from the north and south live in the city, they have a strong need for communication and fun, many buyers and sellers need to drink and talk, need to get drunk before resting, so it was just an ordinary state city of Xiyang, and the business of Lefang is becoming more and more prosperous.

Eating, drinking, playing, and having fun, the scale of the music square in Xiyang City is not too large, not as good as the music square in Chang'an, Luoyang, Jinyang, Yecheng and other metropolises, but it is better to have characteristics, in addition to a variety of favorite pastimes, there are also novel "Xiyang characteristics", shadow puppet play is one of them.

The most famous shadow puppet performance place in Xiyang City is the famous Changle Fang, and Changle Fang not only stages shadow puppet shows during the day, but also has leather performances at night, several theater troupes take turns to perform day and night, plus the 'fish dragon Manyan' that is performed from time to time, so that the merchants linger here.

Changle Fang, together with the surrounding wine shops, theaters, and restaurants, constitute the entertainment concentration area of Xiyang City, in this area, as long as there is money, then all kinds of enjoyment will not be interrupted by day and night.

Convenient circulation coupons, a wide variety of pastimes, so that the guests' desire to consume is unprecedentedly high, if the guests are not strong enough to drink, or want to "have a long talk" with the little ladies, or miss the time and can not go home, can have a place to stay,

Bursts of laughter sounded in the staggering, faintly echoing in the night sky, Huangzhou Sima Yuwen fifteen, listened to the laughter outside the box, smiled, and wiped the blood off the blade with a cloth.

The room was in shambles, the food table was overturned, the food and wine were spilled on the floor, and several men were lying on the sidelines, all of whom had been wiped by knives and died, and blood was splattered everywhere, rendering a thrilling red scene.

The smell of blood was muffled by the incense medicine brought in by the servants, and the movement was masked by the noisy opera outside the box, Yuwen 15 put the knife into the sheath, watched the servants clean up the corpses, sat back in their seats, picked up the wine jug that had fallen to the ground, and drank it to himself.

The bloody corpse was in front of him, and it didn't affect Yuwen Fifteen's mood in the slightest, he picked up a handful of popcorn and looked at a corpse while eating.

There was a knife wound on the face of the corpse, which was cut by Yuwen Fifteen, the corpse was still a living person not long ago, and he toasted and drank together, talked and laughed, just when another round of toasting, the other party suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed him, and was easily cut down by Yuwen Fifteen, who had already taken precautions.

His helper was also solved by Yuwen Fifteen's entourage, and he died on the spot, the reason why he didn't leave a living mouth was out of prudence, after all, once the situation got out of control and people ran out covered in blood, it would be unsightly:

The guests saw the extremely exciting murder scene in Changle Fang, what will they do in the future?

Yuwen Fifteen, is the behind-the-scenes owner of Changle Fang, of course, he also has a backer, that is, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen, Yuwen Wen handed over the Changle Fang with a lot of people to Yuwen Fifteen to operate, in order to reward his henchmen, and at the same time also made some 'warnings'.

In entertainment venues, it is very common for incidents such as fights and group fights to occur because of jealousy, arrogance or drunkenness, but there must be a degree, that is, no one can be killed.

Therefore, the golden sign of Changle Fang must not be ruined by the human life incident, although it is the owner who kills people himself, but everything must disappear into laughter.

As for the sound of the food table overturning and various utensils falling, it is regarded as someone who has drunk too much and is crazy and smashed, it is not a big deal.

The servants 'soon carried the corpses away in cloth bags, all the items stained with human blood were replaced, the blood on the ground disappeared without a trace, and the box was soon 'renewed.'

"Eat, why don't you eat it? I'm in for a treat tonight, you're welcome. ”

Yuwen fifteen beckoned several young men to sit down, these people had just killed people on the spot like him, but they didn't look restless at all, nor did they feel cramped, and they sat without moving their chopsticks after putting the knife into the sheath.

"Sima, we're full."

"Don't you feel sick to your stomach when you see human blood? Ouch, how do you guys train people? The people of the Cat team are actually afraid of blood? ”

Yuwen fifteen clapped his hands and motioned for the servants to bring in all kinds of suppers: "Eat!" If you don't eat, you don't give face! Otherwise, when Amin comes back, I'll settle accounts with him!" ”

Several young people smiled helplessly, they were not afraid of blood, and they were also very familiar with Yuwen Fifteen, but they couldn't just kill someone, so they sat next to them and ate, although they didn't vomit to their stomachs, but they always felt weird.

Just about to move the chopsticks, but heard the sound of talking outside the door, and after a while, a person pushed the door in, but it was Jia Niu, the guard of the Xiyang Palace.

"How's going on over there?"

"Those few people have been controlled, and now they are under house arrest, just waiting for Sima to speak."

"Sit."

"Ouch, Sima Mo didn't deliberately let the lowly sit in this dead place?"

"I said what is going on with your cat team, one by one is so hypocritical!"

"Okay, sit down."

Jia Niu sat on a seat next to Yuwen Fifteen, scooped up a handful of popcorn and ate it, Yuwen Fifteen touched his beardless chin, and asked, "In your opinion, this group of people is acting like this, could it be..."

Seeing the two of them talking about confidential matters, several young people hurriedly got up and retreated, and when there were only two people left in the room, Yuwen Fifteen continued to talk to Jia Niu: "These are serious court officials, and they dare to oppose the guest, I'm afraid that something will not be good over there in Yecheng..."

Since the end of last year, the Lingnan Road march marched, the Xia Guanfu often sent people to Huangzhou Prefecture to govern Xiyang on business trips to coordinate the dispatch of military supplies for the Lingnan march.

The composition of the troops of the Lingnan Road march was dominated by the Huangzhou Army, but after all, it was for the country, so the imperial court also had to allocate baggage, grain and grass to meet the operational needs of the Lingnan Road march, so it was necessary to send people to Xiyang to coordinate and supervise.

This kind of official business has lasted from the end of last year to the present, and there is nothing special about it, but these officials who were rotated half a month ago are somehow close to Sima Yuwen in Huangzhou, which makes him feel a little strange.

If the other party wants to pour out the hot-selling goods in Huangzhou to 'purchase' or something, he shouldn't come to Yuwen Fifteen.

As the owner of Changle Fang, he can give a 'preferential price' and let everyone have a happy time at Changle Fang, but the other party obviously has no such thoughts.

As the so-called dedication to nothing, it is either a traitor or a thief, and Yuwen Fifteen, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of staying behind, can't help but mutter about the motives of these people.

According to the step-by-step teaching of Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, Yuwen Fifteen has also become a conspiracy theorist, so the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong.

Guessing boldly, carefully verifying, Yuwen Fifteen asked Jia Niu to spy on the details of these people, and after listening to the corner of the wall for a few days, although he couldn't hear any problems, he felt more and more that the other party was approaching him with bad intentions.

Yuwen Fifteen directly invited the other party to have fun in Changle Fang, and the time was postponed several times to tonight, and the other party really wanted to see the dagger and wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate, but was killed by Yuwen Fifteen, who had been prepared.

The death of the court official is a terrible matter, but for Yuwen Fifteen, the other party's act of assassinating him is the meaning of this action, because the other party is not dealing with Yuwen Fifteen, who is the state Sima, but against Yuwen Fifteen, the henchman of the King of Xiyang.

Acting like this means that someone is going to deal with the King of Xiyang, who is that person?

Who else can there be, don't even think about it, but once that person wants to make a move, it means that the situation has changed greatly, and Yuwen Fifteen is not facing isolated incidents, but facing a series of crises.

"The king led the troops to the expedition, far away in Lingbiao Guangzhou, once the situation in the Central Plains changed greatly, he couldn't come back in a hurry, so before the king rushed back, Huangzhou couldn't be chaotic!"

Yuwen fifteenth said categorically, Zhang Dingfa and Wu Ming went to Yecheng, and the cat team of King Xiyang was in charge of Jia Niu, so now we must stand up and shoulder the heavy responsibility, and everyone works together to keep Huangzhou and keep the family business.

Not to mention anything else, most of the belongings of the soldiers under Yuwenwen's command are here, once Huangzhou is lost, I am afraid it will lead to chaos in the army, not to mention that the Xiyang Palaces are in Xiyang City, once something happens, Yuwenwen's family will be served in a pot.

Over the years, whenever Yuwen Wen wanted to use troops abroad, Yuwen Fifteen was arranged to stay in Xiyang to look after his family, and he never had the opportunity to make war exploits, but he had no complaints, because this was Yuwen Wen's trust in him, and it was precisely because of this that Yuwen Fifteen did not dare to take it lightly.

"According to the previous news, in Yecheng, the Son of Heaven got married today, but it seems that the prime minister is afraid that he will turn his face, so the princess and the prince are probably trapped in Yecheng.... Are there any pigeons coming back from Yecheng? ”

"Not yet, if something really happens in Yecheng, the pigeon will fly back tomorrow."

"But don't have an accident, if the princess and the prince are trapped in Yecheng, the king is afraid that he will be mad!"

"Sima, this is the worst-case scenario, but according to the plan in advance, the princess is in her mother's house after all, it doesn't matter for a while, but now it is Huangzhou that matters, since the other party is planning to do something to Sima, I'm afraid there will be a back-up move."

"Aftermath? Hehe, from now on, except for the king's orders, I won't listen to anyone's orders, the king has long been guarding against this day, so if any official or military general dares to pretend to be crazy and stupid and don't listen to the dispatch, I will kill him first to sacrifice the flag! ”

"Sima, what about these people? Is it really good not to leave a living mouth? ”

"Very good! So as not to disturb people's hearts with random speeches, tomorrow morning, I will take these heads to the official office to convene everyone to discuss and see who dares to pretend to be crazy and stupid! ”

Jia Niu thought about something else: "What I'm worried about is that some people are ready to move but quietly pretend to obey, once the enemy army presses the border and Sima is going all out to the outside, they will take the opportunity to make small moves." ”

"So you have to keep an eye on it, catch mice or something, isn't it just right?"

"How many people can we target? Those officials and generals talked secretly in their homes, and we couldn't find out what they were talking about. ”

"Then let's see who often gets together, those officials and generals who often go door-to-door to strengthen surveillance, and also, what should be bought must be bought, there are always some servants with unclean foundations, waiting to betray their own lord at any time."

Yuwen fifteen and Jia Niu began to discuss countermeasures, there is no need for Jia Niu to worry about official affairs, he only needs to play the role of eyes, ears and eyeliner, after all, the king of Xiyang has been operating in Huangzhou for so many years, and the basic eyeliner is there, so now we must be vigilant at any time to see if there is a conspiracy brewing.

Yuwen Wen led the troops outside, and Yuwen Fifteen, who stayed behind, could call on all kinds of eyes, ears and eyes of the palace, and if necessary, he could further mobilize all his forces, and this power was never known to outsiders.

This is a secret arrangement, and there is also an arrangement on the surface, Yuwen Wen has announced in public before the expedition, if necessary, Yuwen 15 will act as the head of Sima, and the responsibilities of the head of Huangzhou will be shared by Yuwen 15 and Hao Wubo.

In other words, the decision made by these two after deliberation is Yu Wenwen's decision, if anyone dares to pretend to be confused, it is deliberately provoking, killing when it should be killed, and arresting when it should be caught.

It's not that Yuwenwen is arrogant and arrogant and regards the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion as his own reserved land, because this is originally the private land given to him by King Qi, so there is no need to "take it", all the wingmen are really Yuwenwen's adjutants, and no one is restrained, so who dares to jump out at the critical moment is either stupid or bad.

"Tomorrow, I will go to explain the details to Steward Li, so that the palace can be prepared, don't let Xiaoxiao frighten the family members in the mansion, you will work harder, I think the king will leave for the north immediately after receiving the news, so before the king comes back, you must make sure that Huangzhou is foolproof."

。。。。。。

Huangzhou Prefecture, Huangzhou Governor Shi Hao Wubo is sitting in the official office at this time, once there is a rebellion in Xiyang City tonight, he will immediately send troops to suppress it, Governor Shi is generally the county guard of the county where the state is located, so Hao Wubo's move is within the scope of his duties.

At this time, the official office was heavily guarded inside and outside, and Hao Wubo, who was wearing armor, was looking at a note, which was just delivered to him by Sima Yuwen's fifteenth order from the state, and the two poems on it were the code agreed by the two.

Hao Wubo carefully read the note several times, and then lit it with a lamp to burn it, Yuwen Fifteen had already solved the officials of the Xia Guanfu with bad intentions, which meant that their guess was not wrong beforehand: the situation had changed greatly, and Prime Minister Wei Chi was afraid that he was about to turn his face.

This means that all parts of Shannan are facing a huge crisis, and Hao Wubo can't care about other places, but Anlu and Xiyang are the places he pays the most attention to.

An Lu Hao's family means that the foundation of the Hao family is in An Lu, and many of Hao Wubo's relatives are in An Lu, and An Lu will inevitably become the target of Prime Minister Wei Chi Dan's attack, so in the next battle, the safety of An Lu will inevitably make Hao Wu Bo pay attention.

Another place is Xiyang, which is the territory of Wang Yuwenwen of Xiyang, and it is also the starting point of Hao Wubo's career.

Hao Wubo cares about the current situation, of course, he knows that now Wei Chi's family is powerful, once Prime Minister Wei Chi is going to turn his face, the next road for the three of Qi Wang Yuwenliang and his son (nephew) will be difficult, but he is full of confidence in King Xiyang, so he will never admit defeat.

The development of Huangzhou, Hao Wubo is a first-hand witness, he is very proud of his political achievements, and he is also full of trust in the ability of the King of Xiyang, so even if Wei Chi's family is powerful, he may not feel that his side may not have the strength to fight.

The break between the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister may have come in advance, but this crisis is both a challenge and an opportunity, and the young Hao Wubo is full of blood, and when he thinks of this, he is not depressed but happy.

At that time, the young Huangzhou (Bazhou) assassination history and the young don't drive and govern the country, in the face of many difficulties, made concerted efforts to open up the situation, and after eight years of painstaking efforts, Huangzhou had a earth-shaking change.

Now, let the three people who are still young change the situation dramatically!

Thinking of this, Hao Wubo walked out of the room: "Someone! ”

"The last general, please give orders from the superiors."

"The order, the soldiers and horses of each department take turns to rest, there is no signal, there is no need to dispatch."

"The last general commands!"

"Also, the vigilance of the state government must not be relaxed, and those who are unknown and do not listen to the warning will be killed!"
