"Is there any evidence?" Zhang Bao asked.

Wu Liang shook his head and said, "All this is the speculation of the lower officials!" There is no evidence! But it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one, this Shijian will never be loyal to you, if this person is really as you say, then the city is too deep! Such people are never available! It is better to get rid of it as soon as possible! ”

"There is some truth to what you say!" Zhang Bao pondered for a moment and said, "But don't move him for the time being!" ”

"Why?"

"Shi Min will arrive early tomorrow morning, and now there is an atmosphere of murder inside and outside Yecheng. If Shi Jian is killed at this time, the patrol camp will definitely be in chaos, and Yecheng will be in chaos at that time, how will you and I end up? ”

Wu Liang sighed and said, "Your Excellency is right! But this person must not stay for a long time, it is better to end him earlier! ”

"When Shi Min takes it, you can start this matter!"

"Yes......"

......

Shi Jian returned to King Ning's Mansion, Gao Shangzhi was already waiting in the house, and when he saw Shi Jian coming back, Gao Shangzhi got up and asked, "Zhang Bao must have called you for the matter of the dozen or so black-clothed people who died on the street last night, right?" ”

Shi Jian took off the cloak that protected him from the wind and rain, handed it to his subordinates, and said with a smile: "My lord is like a god, it is true!" ”

"It seems that this Xihuahou Mansion is more difficult to deal with than we imagined!" Gao Shangzhi said.

"This king has never despised this opponent!"

Gao Shangzhi waved his hand and said, "No! His Royal Highness didn't understand what the old man meant! ”

"My lord wants to say that there are a lot of hidden masters in Yecheng in this Xihua Mansion, right?" Shi Jian finished wiping his hands and threw the towel to his subordinates.

"That's right! This is obviously something we didn't expect! Gao Shangzhi said.

Shi Jian nodded slightly, sat down, and said to Gao Shangzhi: "Last night, the people of Xihua Hou Mansion were able to retreat with their whole body, which is really surprising!" Zhang Bao didn't lay a net in Yecheng, and he didn't catch the slightest handle from them! There are indeed some means! ”

"According to the old man's opinion, His Highness should strike first and guard against Shi Min earlier!"

"Since the last time I got the news that the second child killed the old thing, there has been no valuable news over there! I don't know if Shi Min has noticed that there is an undercover agent around him, or if my people have a different heart! ”

"He has been with you for more than twenty years, and he shouldn't betray Your Highness!" Gao Shangzhi said: "There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people!" Your Highness, don't doubt your right-hand man at this critical moment! ”

"Your Excellency, you are the king's right-hand man!" Shi Jian said to Gao Shangzhi.

The noble salute said: "Your Highness Xie praises! ”

"Shi Min will be here early tomorrow morning! In this case, tomorrow will be the most critical moment! ”

"After tomorrow's event is settled, what does Your Highness plan to do?"

"This matter is still under consideration!" Shi Jian said proudly.

"The old man is worried, it's too early to be called emperor at this time!"

"This king thinks the same way, what do you think?"

"It's better to support Shi Shi's son to ascend the throne, when you are in power, it will not be too late to take the throne!" Gao Shangzhi stroked his beard and said slowly: "Now you are fledgling, and you only have the people of the patrol battalion in your hands!" You can't command the ministers yet! This budding bird should be let Shi Min be! Not you! ”

Shi Jian nodded silently and said, "What the adults said is reasonable!" ”

"After this incident, no matter how stupid Shi Min is, he should know that Ning Wangfu is not as simple as he thinks, and he will definitely compete with us! Ning Wangfu may be the first to strike! Shi Min must not be allowed to take the lead! ”

"How do you strike first?"

"How you plan to treat Zhang Bao, you can also treat Shi Min!"

"But he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and if he rebels, the consequences may be unimaginable!"

"Li Chang and Wang Shicheng, the two forward generals, are naturally dealt with the same as Shi Min! Once these three people are ambushed, the rest of the people will be leaderless and unable to set off any storms! Zhang Bao did all the calculations, but he didn't count Wang Shicheng and Li Chang in them, this is his miscalculation! ”

"Ginger is still old and spicy! Hahahaha! Shi Jian pointed to the noble smile and smiled.

"Hahahaha......" Gao Shangzhi smiled and stroked his beard.

"My lord, you know, today Zhang Bao wants to learn from Shi Zun and threaten the king with his mother!"

"I don't know that His Royal Highness is the master of the old man, otherwise Niangniang's situation is really dangerous! But thinking about it carefully, Wen Cang at this moment has no intention of obeying Zhang Bao anymore! ”

"Exactly!" Shi Jian smiled slightly, quite proud, and said to Gao Shangzhi: "In order to prevent Shi Min from taking advantage of the fire to rob, tomorrow after Shi Min enters the palace, the patrol battalion will surround the Xihua Hou Mansion, and you must not let him take advantage of the fisherman!" ”

Gao Shangzhi nodded and said, "Your Highness is thoughtful, you really should do this!" Handan is only more than half a day's journey from Yecheng, and the foot soldiers can reach it in one day, if Shi Min directly claims the emperor, we may not be able to stop it! ”

"Shi Min shouldn't have any objection yet, otherwise there should be news from the killer there! But it's better to take precautions! ”

......

This night, the wind and rain were mixed, Shi Min couldn't sleep in the bumps, Shi Jian and Zhang Bao also stayed awake all night, they were all waiting for the final ending, and they didn't know what kind of result would really be waiting for them!

Due to the heavy wind and rain, Shi Min's carriage stopped and went until noon the next day, when it arrived at the gate of Yecheng, and at this time, Zhang Bao and Shi Jian were already waiting anxiously, for fear of any accident.

Shi Jian stood on the tower of the city gate from afar, watching Shi Min's carriage enter Yecheng, and just before Shi Min entered the city, Zhang Bao's subordinates had already brought the news to the palace.

"My lord, Shi Min has already entered the city!" Wu Liang said

"Is there anything unusual?" Zhang Bao asked.

"Nope! Everything works! There was no other movement from the patrol battalion. ”

At this time, Zhang Bao turned around, looked at Wen Cang, and asked, "Great Commander, how to do it, you don't need this official to teach you anymore, right?" ”

Wen Cang saluted and said, "Xia Guan understands! Don't worry, adults! ”

Zhang Bao nodded and said to Wu Liang: "Let's go!" Let's go in and wait for Shi Min to come and throw himself into the net with His Majesty! ”

"Your Excellency, please!" Wu Liang stretched out his hand to lead the way.

The two forbidden soldiers pushed open the gate of Yongchang Pavilion for Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao stood at the door, but did not step in, as if he had thought of something.

"What's wrong, sir?" Wu Liang asked.

Zhang Bao turned his head and asked Wen Cang: "Has Lu An not appeared in the past two days?" ”

"I heard it's sick! You can't serve with you! Wen Cang responded.

"Have you ever sent someone to see it?" Zhang Bao asked again.

Wen Cang shook his head and said, "Go see what he does?" Just a eunuch! ”

"Now send someone to find him immediately! See if he's in the house! Zhang Bao commanded.

Wen Cang didn't understand what Zhang Bao meant, but he still complied, raised his hand slightly to his subordinates, and asked, "My lord, what are you looking for him?" ”

Zhang Bao turned around, glared at Wen Cang, and said, "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

Wu Liang on the side didn't seem to understand, so he asked, "My lord, why do you care so much about Lu An?" ”

"Lu An has a great friendship with the Xihua Marquis Mansion, if he knows our plan, he will definitely try his best to inform Shi Min, if he is not in the palace at this moment, maybe Shi Min already knows our plan!" Zhang Bao said solemnly.

"This Shi Min has already come, if he knows, how can he throw himself into the net? Adults, you may be overwhelmed! Wu Liang persuaded.

Zhang Bao took a deep breath and said, "What about Gao Shirong? ”

Wu Liang looked around, pointed not far away and said, "He's here!" ”

Zhang Bao looked displeased, stood directly outside the door and didn't go in, and when Gao Shirong came over, he muttered: "The old man still made a mistake after all!" ”

"What did you say, sir?" Wu Liang asked.

"Wen Cang!" Zhang Bao shouted, ignoring Wu Liang.

"The lower official is here!"

"Be sure to seal off the palace! Don't be surprised! Zhang Bao commanded.

"Xia Guan understands! Today, inside and outside the palace, no one can enter or leave without your orders! Wen Cang said with an oath.

"And!" Zhang Bao said again: "If Shi Min comes in by carriage, be sure to check his carriage and horses!" No weapon must be in his hands! ”

"That's for sure! Rest assured! ”
