Chapter 533: Key News
For a scholar, the fame, status, and respect that he should have will not be less, and there is really no need to take risks after weighing the pros and cons.
But now it seems that Fa Zheng is not satisfied with just being a dispensable and leisurely military advisor, although it is not yet known what his motives are, but judging by his actions, he is obviously not a person who is content with the status quo.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace? For a rainy day?
These two words seem a bit far-fetched to use on Fa Zheng, but in addition, Liu He can no longer think of other more suitable words to describe what Fa Zheng is doing now.
After Pang Tong and Zhong Li left, Liu He sat alone in the empty council hall and did not leave until late at night.
He was waiting for someone, waiting for news from that person to bring back.
He misses his previous days in Xiangyang, and when he encounters difficulties, he can always have someone to discuss.
Zhuge Liang's illness made Liu He suddenly feel isolated and helpless.
He really wanted to hear Zhuge Liang's opinion on this matter, maybe only the answer given by Zhuge Liang could make him truly feel at ease.
However, when he came back from outside this time and saw Zhuge Liang again, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it himself.
If you have to say it, it's a feeling.
Although the person lying on the sickbed, whether it was his appearance or voice, was clearly the Zhuge Kongming who was in charge of the entire Yizhou behind the scenes, Liu He always felt that he was not.
From that person's eyes, he could only see the Zhuge military advisor who would bow down to everything, but he couldn't see the brother who was on the Xinye city wall, drinking with him and throwing the wine altar together.
A faint sound of footsteps sounded, making Liu He suddenly retract his thoughts.
He cheered up and sat in the middle of the chamber, waiting for Guo Qing to appear.
Guo Qing walked in in a hurry, without any polite greetings, and told Liu He a piece of unreasonable, but expected news.
The Zhuge Liang that Liu He saw during the day was really fake!
Although he had foreseen it, Liu He still didn't seem to be able to accept this fact, and he said in a hoarse voice: "What about Zhuge Liangren? Is he still alive? ”
Guo Qing raised his head, looked at Liu He's already trembling hands, and stopped talking.
"Answer me! Is he still alive? Liu He suddenly roared without warning.
Guo Qing gritted his teeth, "My subordinates don't know, I have investigated around the Zhuge Military Division's mansion, and I didn't find the place where they held the Zhuge Military Division, so I ......."
Liu He said sharply: "What! Don't ramble, say it! ”
Guo Qing hurriedly clenched his fists, "I haven't found the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhuge either." ”
Liu He immediately clenched his fist with remorse, frowned, and closed his eyes.
Why was he so confused, when he went to visit Zhuge Liang during the day, why didn't he remember to go to Huang Yueying to ask?
Now that the two have disappeared at the same time, another fake Zhuge Liang has appeared in the mansion, which is obviously carefully planned by someone.
But what kind of person can put Zhuge Liang and his wife under house arrest at the same time in Chengdu City, and make it impossible for outsiders to find out?
Fa Zheng.
This is the first and only person Liu He can think of, but as soon as this idea appeared, he was immediately vetoed by himself.
Zhuge Liang's mansion, it is not something that ordinary people can enter and leave at will, the guards in the mansion are all old soldiers brought from Jingzhou, Fa Zheng does not have any military power in his hands, and he can't mobilize the guards in Zhuge Liang's mansion at all, let alone take away the two big living people from under the noses of that group of guards.
Guards?
Liu He suddenly remembered the group of guards who fought with him in Zhuge Liang's mansion during the day.
At the time, he was suspicious that the guards were all fresh faces, and that their behavior was very abnormal, but now that he thinks about it, it all makes sense.
Someone must have replaced the guards in Zhuge Liang's mansion, and then inserted his own people into it, so that Zhuge Liang and his wife were imprisoned together unknowingly.
"You go and check right now, who ordered the transfer of the guards in the Zhuge Military Division's Mansion in recent days." Liu He, who calmed down, immediately gave Guo Qing new instructions.
However, Guo Qing had already found out about this matter, and a few days ago, it was Zhuge Liang himself who withdrew the original group of guards and replaced them with new ones.
Hearing the news, Liu He immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
Putting aside the fact that Zhuge Liang has been imprisoned, let's just say that this transfer, without any changes, why did Zhuge Liang remove the original old pawns and replace them with these new faces?
Liu He pondered for a long time and asked, "Why did he make such a transfer, can you find out the reason?" ”
Guo Qing immediately replied: "I have checked, and Zhuge Junshi did not give any reason before, but there are rumors in the army that some of those old soldiers made mistakes and angered Zhuge Junshi, and Zhuge Junshi was angry and sent them all back to the barracks. ”
Liu He didn't say anything more, lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and at the same time, his mind began to constantly sort out all the clues about this incident.
Judging from the information currently available, Zhuge Liang's situation is very dangerous, and he must be rescued as soon as possible.
Liu He was very anxious, eager to turn over the entire Chengdu city, in order to find Zhuge Liang's whereabouts, he did not hesitate to pay any price.
But he still can't do that, not because he doesn't have that strength, but because he knows that doing so will only startle the snake, and the plan to rescue Zhuge Liang will become more difficult.
For now, the only way to do this is to grasp the only few clues in your hand, peel back the cocoon, and find out the culprit hidden behind the scenes.
"You come with me." Liu He suddenly stood up and walked out the door.
Guo Qing followed behind Liu He without saying a word, and the two left Tianji Mansion together.
In the night, the two of them were in a hurry.
As soon as he got out of the gate of Tianji Mansion, Guo Qing consciously walked in front of Liu He and led the way in front of him.
Although Liu He didn't say where he was going, Guo Qing knew very well that those scattered information and sporadic clues ended up in one place, the old pawn who angered Zhuge Liang because of his negligence.
The old man's name is Feng Yang, a native of Jingzhou, he has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has no other brothers and sisters, and he followed Liu Beijun all the way to the south and the north, and finally arrived in Yizhou.
There are a lot of soldiers in the army, all of them are Feng Yang's situation, they have no relatives in their hometown, after arriving in Yizhou, Liu Beijun stood firm, and they finally settled down, so they successively found a local girl as a daughter-in-law and set up a home in Chengdu.
There is a large dwelling in the city of Chengdu, which was specially built for these soldiers, who placed their families here, and lived in the barracks, and every month, according to the number of years of enlistment, they could have three to five days of vacation to go home to accompany their wives.
