Yan Keqiu's views did not receive much recognition among the Huainan ministers, but Yang Wu himself strongly agreed with his opinion, and with his strong support, it was finally decided to follow the original plan for the time being, first eliminate Wang Zhenzhi, and then deal with Ma Yin.

After the discussion, Yang Wu stood up and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he came out of the Huagai Palace, Fan Yu suddenly whispered to him: "King, the news I just got seems to have changed in Wenzhou!" ”

"Wenzhou?" Yang Wu suddenly stopped, frowned and asked.

Wenzhou has been under the governance of Wu for five years now, except for some turmoil at the beginning, it has been very quiet since then, and Yang Wu can't think of any big changes there.

"Could it be that Wang Zhenzhi is so bold that he dares to take the initiative to attack Wenzhou?" Yang Wu said with a serious expression.

"It's not Wang Zhenzhi, it's Zhao Kuangning!" Fan Yu said in a low voice.

"Zhao Kuangning?"

Yang Wu was a little surprised, he almost forgot about this person.

Since he was disrespectful to Yang Wu at the banquet, so he was fined and exiled to Wenzhou, Yang Wu has not heard of his name again.

"Let's go, go back to the lonely study!" Seeing that Fan Yu had been saying in a very small voice, Yang Wu knew that there might be other hidden secrets in this matter, and it was inconvenient for too many people to know.

After returning to the study, Yang Wu asked, "What the hell is going on?" Does Zhao Kuangning want to rebel? He is a temperance envoy who has passed the temperament, and now he has no people, no soldiers, and he is not even afraid of much money in his hands, so how can he rebel? ”

"King, that's the case, our spy recently found out that Zhao Kuangning seems to be in contact with Wang Zhenzhi's person, of course, he doesn't have anything in his hands, at most it's just a bit of fame in the past, and he can't think of any climate."

Yang Wu nodded and said directly: "Since he himself is impatient and dares to collude with Wang Zhenzhi's people in private, no matter what his plans are, he will be directly taken down and punished!" ”

Zhao Kuangning's words at the banquet really angered Yang Wu.

Although Yang Wu did not execute Zhao Kuangning for various considerations, he did not forget this incident in his heart.

However, as the lord of Huainan, he can't do anything at will.

Zhao Kuangning has been exiled to Wenzhou, if he is honest in Wenzhou, it doesn't hurt for Yang Wu to let him go; But now that he dares to jump up and down, he can't blame Yang Wu.

After instructing Wan Hou, Yang Wu saw that Fan Yu did not agree, and couldn't help but say a little strangely: "What? Is there something else going on in this? Just say it! ”

Fan Yu said: "That's the case, our secret agents not only found that Zhao Kuangning and Wang Zhenzhi had frequent contact, but also found that he also had frequent contact with Zhang Kezong, the assassin of Wenzhou!" And Zhang Kezong once drank with Wang Zhenzhi's people! ”

"Zhang Kezong?" Yang Wu's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard this name, and at the same time, his expression was much more serious than before.

Zhang Kezong is also a veteran, when Huainan and Zhejiang were bounded by Changzhou, he was the Wuxi guard at the forefront of the town; Later, after Huainan captured Suzhou and Huzhou, Zhang Kezong continued to defend Jiaxing, which was close to Hangzhou; Later, Huainan annexed Liangzhejiang, and Zhang Kezong changed to guard Wenzhou at the junction of Wang Shenzhi.

It can be said that this veteran has always been used as a great future to guard the frontier, and he is deeply trusted by Yang Wu.

The reason why he was not placed in the forbidden army was because he had been a local guard for many years and had always performed very well.

Now that he suddenly heard that Zhang Kezong was actually mixed up with Zhao Kuangning and Wang Xianzhi's people, Yang Wu's mood can be imagined.

"You said that Zhang Kezong was mixed with Zhao Kuangning and Wang Zhenzhi, but is there sufficient evidence? Or is it hearsay? This is extremely important news, and Yang Wu naturally has to be careful.

"It's what our spies saw with their own eyes, and there will be no fake! We also sent someone to investigate that secret agent, and it is absolutely reliable! Fan Yu also knew that Zhang Kezong was a person trusted by Yang Wu, so he attached great importance to this matter, and only reported it to Yang Wu after repeated confirmation.

Yang Wu nodded, even more annoyed in his heart, if Zhang Kezong really betrayed, this matter would disappoint him too much.

Of course, now that the matter has not been completely figured out, even if Zhang Kezong has had contact with Zhao Kuangning and Wang Xianzhi, it cannot be compared to Zhang Kezong that Zhang Kezong has really betrayed, at most it can only be said that there is a possibility of betrayal.

Moreover, in Yang Wu's impression, although Zhang Kezong is sometimes a little reckless on the battlefield, he is not a stupid person.

At this time, everyone knew that it was no good to follow Wang Shenzhi, and Zhao Kuangning was not treated by Yang Wu at all, so it was impossible for Zhang Kezong not to know these two points.

Since he knew, he shouldn't be so stupid as to get involved with these people.

"Is there any other news in particular? Is there any evidence that can prove whether Zhang Kezong betrayed or not? After thinking about it carefully, Yang Wu calmed down and asked.

"This is not available yet, after all, our secret agent has a low identity, and it is impossible to find out more specific information." Fan Yu shook his head and said.

After all, the long sword is not the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty, and even the minister knows what he ate at home.

Yang Wu also had no intention of turning the long sword into an organization like that.

It is enough to be able to find out information externally, and for his own people internally, Yang Wu does not want to engage in spy rule.

Fan Yu said: "By the way, the king, our people have found out clearly, the person sent by Wang Zhenzhi should not be the person of Wang Zhenzhi, but the person of his second son Wang Yanjun!" ”

"Wang Yanjun? Is that the one who killed Zhang Zhiyuan? ”

"Yes, that's it!"

Yang Wu nodded, after all, Wenzhou is thousands of miles away, and it will take a lot of time for the news over there to be transmitted, not to mention that Wenzhou is close to Fuzhou, and Zhang Kezong has the final say on local things.

So if you want to find out whether Zhang Kezong has betrayed, the best way is to arrest him and interrogate him first, or at least control him first.

Fan Yu's opinion is like this, first control people, and then send credible people to review him.

This is a relatively safe opinion, but Yang Wu is a little hesitant, after all, logically speaking, Zhang Kezong should not betray at such a time.

If you catch it wrongly, it will hurt the heart of the hero.

In addition, Zhang Kezong was bent on entering the forbidden army, and he had made this request to Yang Wu many times, and it was Yang Wu who personally talked to him before he agreed to turn into an assassin.

At this point, Yang Wu also felt a little guilty, so he didn't want to arrest people casually without thoroughly figuring it out.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Wu still didn't make up his mind, and finally had to summon Gao Miao, Zhou Yin, and Yang Tingshi, the secretary of Dali Temple, to ask them for their opinions.

Zhou Yin was originally an upright person, and he couldn't rub anything in his eyes, and when he heard that Zhang Kezong might be involved in the case of collusion with foreign enemies, he immediately said: "Arrest him immediately and interrogate him!" If he is really involved in the case, then bring him to justice! If he is innocent, then after the incident, the old man will apologize to him personally! ”

Yang Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, this old man is such a character, but he has always been fair, and he does what he says.

In the future, if Zhang Kezong is really found to be innocent according to his methods, then he will definitely apologize.

So what he said is a solution.

However, Yang Wu still doesn't want to deal with it roughly, maybe there is another way that is more appropriate?

Gao Miao thought for a while and said: "King, in the old man's opinion, there must be other insiders in this matter, maybe it is not as simple as what we see in front of us. Zhang Kezong's loyalty to the king, the old man has always known that he will definitely not betray the king at this time, and this is a little unreasonable from the point of view! ”

Yang Wu nodded again and again when he heard this, this was the most important reason why he was reluctant to act casually, because it was unreasonable for Zhang Kezong to betray at this time.

"Then according to the meaning of the elder of the high pavilion, what should be done in this matter?"

"The king might as well order Zhang Kezong to return to Jinling to report on his work in the near future, and then ask him about this matter in person, and see how he answers!" Gao Daodao.

Yang Tingshi thought for a while and asked, "Then what if he can't come to Jinling because he has something to shirk?" How do I know if he really has something to do, or if he has a weak heart? And will this startle the snake and make him really betray Wenzhou? ”

"It doesn't matter, the king has given him a few more orders, and he can't shirk it if he thinks about it. As for saying that he directly took refuge in Wang Shenzhi with a weak heart, he shouldn't worry too much about this. Even if he wanted to betray, his men would not betray him with him! What's more, isn't there still 2,000 forbidden troops stationed in Wenzhou City now? Let those 2,000 forbidden troops strengthen their vigilance, there will be no problems! Gao Miao twisted his gray beard and said.

"Okay, then do it!" Yang Wu immediately made up his mind: "As for Zhao Kuangning, this person colluded with foreign enemies, conspired against him, and his crime was unforgivable. After Zhang Kezong set off for Jinling, he immediately took down this person and Wang Zhenzhi's secret agent for interrogation! ”
