After entering his room, Shi Min didn't say a word, and lifted a futon, which was the seat he often sat in.

"Sure enough!" Shi Min said as he looked at a piece of paper in his position.

"What's wrong, Childe?" Xu San stepped forward and asked.

Shi Min squatted down, looked at the folded paper, and said: "This is the news sent by Lu An that day about the cause of the death of the first emperor, after I read it, I stuffed it under this futon, but this has obviously been moved!" ”

Isn't this letter still here? How do you know if someone has moved? Xu San was puzzled.

Shi Min picked up the piece of paper and said, "Whenever Lu An sends a letter, he will tear off a small piece in the lower left corner as a mark. ”

Xu San took it and opened it to take a look, and sure enough, there was a missing corner in the lower left corner.

"When I read it that day, and when I put it under the futon, I remember that the torn corner was facing up, but now I look at it on the back! This shows that someone peeked at the news during the period! And the rumors that spread in Yecheng some time ago were leaked out from here! ”

"Huh?" Xu San couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "All the people in this mansion are their own!" Who would do it? Could it be that you are mistaken? ”

"No!" Shi Min waved his hand firmly, looked at Xu San seriously and said, "In our house, there must be outsiders' meticulous work!" ”

Seeing Shi Min looking at him, Xu San hurriedly asked, "Childe, you don't suspect me, right?" ”

"Of course not! Anyone in this world can betray me, but you won't! Shi Min said firmly.

Xu San breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But after thinking about it, I can't think of who it is!" Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Wu are a few of them, I watched them grow up! It is impossible to betray the Xihuahou Mansion, and those two sisters-in-law are not such people! ”

"I've been wondering how the death of the first emperor was known to outsiders, but I didn't expect the news to leak out of my hands!"

"This person must have been sent by Zhang Bao!"

"Originally, I thought so, but before Zhang Bao's death today, a few words he said to me made me have no doubt about my previous thoughts!"

"Zhang Bao? You can't believe him! Xu San said.

"Nope! There is credibility in his words! Shi Min said.

"Why? He is the one who wants to put the Xihua Marquis Mansion to death! Xu San said.

"I watched Zhang Leopard die in front of me with my own eyes! Suicide by taking poison! Shi Min said, sat down, and said to Xu San: "He said, in this life, there are only two people he can't see through, and that is the noble and Shijian!" ”

"What is the purpose of saying this?"

"Third Uncle Xu, maybe you don't believe it! If there is no Shi Jian this time, Zhang Bao is afraid that if he does not fail, what kind of outcome the Xihua Marquis Mansion will face, I dare not imagine. But before that, who would have thought that Shi Jian had such a means? I'm afraid that few people will remember that Zhao Guo also has His Royal Highness King Ning, right? ”

Xu San nodded silently and said, "That's what you said!" Before that, King Ning's Mansion was indeed a place that was almost forgotten. ”

"The stone jian I saw today is a stone jian with excellent swordsmanship and excellent strategy. Zhang Bao's subordinates, if they are fighting alone, there is no chance to fight back under him! Can you imagine that? How much endurance does it take for such a person to be able to stay in Yecheng for decades without being noticed at all? Shi Min said, sighed, and said, "There is no doubt that Shi Jian's plan is very big!" ”

"You mean that Thaksin will be the emperor?" Xu San asked.

"I didn't believe it before, but now, I'm afraid it's possible!"

"You just asked Zhang Mufeng to inform the wolf rider to cancel the operation, what is your intention?" Xu San asked.

"There's one thing I haven't had time to tell you yet!" Shi Min said, beckoned to Xu San, and said, "You sit down first!" ”

Xu San didn't know what Shi Min was going to say, so he sat beside Shi Min with a puzzled look and asked, "What's wrong, Son?" ”

"The other day, I learned the truth of a thing! About the life of the father. ”

"The life of the general?" Xu San was stunned.

Shi Min nodded and said, "Have you ever heard of the Beggar Army?" ”

Xu San nodded again and again and said, "I've heard of it!" More than 40 years ago, in this Central Plains area, there were battles with Zhuhu and were destroyed by the alliance of the first emperor and Zhuhu, and their leader seems to be called Ran Long! ”

"That's right!" Shi Min looked at Xu San calmly and said, "Father was indeed picked up by the first emperor from the battlefield, but that was after killing my grandfather!" ”

"Your grandfather?" Xu San was a little confused when he heard it.

"My father's surname is Ran! The name of the ancestors is long! ”

"What?" Xu San stood up in surprise and said, "So, the general said that the descendants of the beggar army?" ”

"That's right!"

"Childe, this matter is not trivial, do you have definite evidence?" Xu San asked.

"Of course there is!"

......

Shi Min told Xu San about the cause and effect of the incident, Xu San listened to it with a sad face for a while, and a look of surprise for a while, obviously he was not mentally prepared for such an incredible story.

"I didn't expect that! The life of the general will be like this! Xu San sighed and said, "In this way, this former emperor is still the enemy of the Xihua Marquis Mansion!" ”

"He has the grace of nurturing his father, but his father repaid him with his life, which can be regarded as the grace that the Xihua Marquis Mansion has received over the years! But the hatred of the beggar army, the hatred of the ancestors, has not yet been understood! ”

"What are you going to do? Raise troops? ”

"Before this, I had never had this idea, even if Mr. Qin repeatedly advised me, I didn't have this intention, but now ......"

"Just like you said, Shi Jian's plot is big, he will want to be the emperor sooner or later, with his current style of exercise, he said that it is impossible to let go of the Xihua Marquis Mansion!"

"The biggest backer of Xihuahou Mansion is also the biggest bane! That's the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses we have on hand! ”

"But these tens of thousands of brothers are the general's hard work for many years, and they are also the talisman of the Xihua Hou Mansion!"

"You have a point!" Shi Min sighed again and said, "If Shi Jian has the heart to be the emperor, he will definitely not be able to tolerate the Xihua Marquis Mansion!" ”

"That's right! Speaking of Shijian! You said, the mysterious person we have been checking before, could it be him? ”

"Your suspicions are the same as mine!" Shi Min said to Xu San again: "I even suspect that the person who really leaked this news is the person who said Shi Jian!" And not Zhang Bao's people! ”

"If that's the case, this rumor from Yecheng is deliberately done by him! In this way, isn't Zhang Bao also calculated by him? ”

"There's a possibility! Otherwise, Zhang Bao didn't reply before he died, saying that if one day he figured out this stone and noble things, he must go to the grave of heaven to tell him! ”

"This leopard doesn't look like it's dead!"

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered what Shi Zun said that day!"

"What?"

"Before the emperor killed him, he said, don't think that if you kill him, the matter will be over, this is just the beginning!"

"Maybe he's deliberately alarmist!"

"I thought so at the time! But now it seems that what Shi Zun said at that time was indeed right! He may have felt it! ”

"Got it?"

"Tan Yuan, do you remember?" Shi Min asked.

Xu San nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember!" He said that Shi Zun's number one think tank, the housekeeper of Qingwangfu! ”

"The whereabouts of this person are still unknown! As Shi Zun's most relied on confidant, how could he watch Shi Zun fail? According to our information, before the conquest of Xianbei, Tan Yuan did not go north together, but stayed in Yecheng! ”
