Chapter 66 Wait for the right time
The flames continued until dawn, but because many people joined in to extinguish the fire, the fire did not last for half of the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The houses were scorched, and the houses on both sides still had scorch marks, as if telling the misery of yesterday. Someone with good deeds dug up two skeletons from the wreckage, which had been burned beyond recognition, and looked extremely horrible.
Since the incident happened in the county at this time, it was naturally unnecessary to report to the county Taishou, and directly reported it to Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou; Kong Ling knew that it was Xu Jing's residence, and guessed that most of the two bones were Xu Jing. However, Kong Ling is not a fool, he always feels that this fire is strange, maybe Xu Jing was not burned to death by the fire at all, but was killed and put into the fire.
During the Han Dynasty, a county was generally arranged to have one to three servants, but the word "仵ä½" appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the title of the Han Dynasty was no longer examinable. Kong Ling guessed that there was a ghost in this matter, and arranged all his subordinates to check the condition of the two corpses. However, these pretenses are not Song Ci after all, so they can only roughly examine the corpse, and then break the throat to observe the bones. In the end, it was concluded that both died of inhaling too much smoke.
In this way, it is naturally impossible to kill the body first and then put it into the fire to destroy the traces, because it is impossible for the throat to inhale the smoke in this case. The "facts" were in front of his eyes, and even if Kong Ling's gloomy old face was wrinkled, he had nothing to say.
The osmanthus wine sent by Xu Jing has bottomed out, and every time Kong Ling drinks a small cup, he can make himself drunk; But this time, he drank three glasses in a row, but he was still only blushing, and he was not drunk under the table.
It's been almost half a month.
Xu Jing has been friends with him for many years, and now he has a superior-subordinate relationship, although there are occasional unhappiness between the two, it does not hinder the development of their relationship. Now that Xu Jing is dead, Kong Ling has been anxious for the past few days, and no matter how she thinks about it, she feels that she is coming at herself; Looking at the jar of wine that Xu Jing gave him at the end, he suddenly remembered that Xu Jing said that Xun Gang intended to contact everyone from all walks of life to suppress himself together......
"Could it be that the incident was led by Xun Gang?"
Xun Gang is rich and has the ability to buy a group of outlaws to serve him; And although he is only a three-year-old child, the scheming revealed on weekdays is very accessible...... Coupled with what Xu Jing said to Kong Ling before, it seems that ...... I can't think of a second suspect either.
Looking at the wine jar in front of him, which was almost empty, Kong Ling fell into deep thought.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
It was the end of November in a blink of an eye, and Xun Gang had to sigh that time passed so quickly, Xu Jing had been dead for almost a month...... He looked down at his right hand, killing seemed to become a habit, since he ordered Xu Jing to be killed last time, it seemed that there was not much fear of those corrupt officials and evil officials.
Those who do not conform to the will of the people will be killed; Kill those who are different from me!
Rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me...... Cao Cao may be in this state of mind.
"Lord, the wine for tomorrow's sale has been prepared, a total of 3,000 pots, and a total of eight jars of limited wine." Xun Gang listened to Guo Jia's report quietly, Guo Jia at this moment has basically become his "master book", and almost all the money and food are controlled by him, but Guo Jia is worthy of being a ghost, and this little thing is not difficult for him at all.
Xun Gang stood up, looked at Xu Shu, who was busy with a small servant behind him, and said softly: "Last month, because of a special accident, I didn't sell a pot of wine, but I was afraid of offending many wealthy families...... Let's hope nothing goes wrong this time. ā
"Rest assured, the lord is still here, and he will definitely not let the villain succeed!"
Xun Gang nodded, suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "Fengxiao, how is Dian Wei now?" I haven't thought about tea and dinner since I came back a month ago, and I feel like I've lost a lot of weight this month. ā
"Dian Wei killed the innocent, and he felt guilty in his heart, Su Fu is still doing ideological work for him, and I don't know if it has any effect......"
Xun Gang expressed his understanding, after all, he was respected as a hero by the people, but now he can't save an innocent people, how can he be ashamed in his heart? What's more, this fire was caused by himself and others......
"Lord, there is still something to ask next...... Guo Jia suddenly asked, Xun Gang was stunned, and motioned for him to continue. Don't hide it from the lord, I received an urgent report from the eyes of Beijing a few days ago, and Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, urgently fled Luoyang to Chenliu, raised volunteers to scatter his wealth, and had the potential to crusade against Dong Zhuo; Nanyang Yuan Shu, Bohai Yuan Shao, Jizhou Han Fu, Hanoi Wang Kuang and others seem to have this intention. Not only that, the former Changsha Taishou Sun Jian took refuge in Nanyang Yuan Shu and stationed in Luyang; Yuan Shu played Sun Jian as the general of the Broken Captives and led the history of the assassination of Yuzhou; In order to compete with Sun Jian for the position of assassin in Yuzhou, Kong Ling also joined the team to discuss Dong......"
I'll go, brother, where did you get so many eyeliners, and you actually felt the military situation of most of the Central Plains clearly! Xun Gang had to admire Guo Jia's intelligence gathering ability, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would be able to dominate the north, and Guo Jia's intelligence would be completely inseparable!
However, listening to Guo Jia say the name of his original boss, Xun Gang always felt very interesting.
But...... I didn't expect that it would be this time, or it wouldn't be long before the Dong coalition army would be formed, and Kong Ling would join this team at that time, but I was afraid that I would not have time to compete for this position by then...... And now that Yuan Shu is still playing Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou, isn't there another one more enemy for himself?
Sun Jian...... Sun Ce ...... "Xun Gang thought of these two kings of Jiangdong, and he didn't know if his plan could be implemented perfectly at that time.
"Fengxiao, it's normal for you to worry, but ...... The time is not yet ripe. ā
"Lord!" Guo Jia was a little anxious, "If you don't start at this moment, when the princes ask for Dong, then it's too late!" ā
Xun Gang shook his head with a smile, waved his hand to signal Guo Jia's relief, and said: "Fengxiao, the more we are in this emergency moment, the more clear our hearts must be like a mirror." If you are in a hurry, you can't wait for a good result; The more you are in this moment, the more you have to endure and have concentration......"
"I wonder what the lord is waiting for?" Guo Jia was extremely puzzled in his heart, this was really the emperor who was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry.
Xun Gang paced back and forth in the room, sometimes picking up a pot of wine and smelling the fragrance inside; From time to time, he walked out of the door, looking at the sea of people coming and going, and some people stopped to look at Xun Gang to say hello, which seemed to show that Xun Gang's people's hearts were not bad. Xun Gang smiled and said softly: "Fengxiao, do you know that Jia Yan was forced to answer the call some time ago and went to the plains to serve as the prime minister of the plains?" ā
"This ...... I do know, but what does Xun Gongren have to do with us? He's completely out of the court, so he won't be of much help to us! ā
Guo Jia didn't know, but Xun Gang knew that Xun Shuang was a man of the hour; According to the history books, Xun Shuang was recruited by Dong Zhuo as the prime minister of the plains in September and was forced to go; When he arrived at Wanling, he was recruited as Guangluxun, and he was appointed as the secretary of the Taiwan Department for three days; From the commoner to the third duke, Xun Shuang only spent a total of ninety-three days, which can be described as amazing!
What Xun Gang is waiting for now is the news that Xun Shuang was appointed as Guangluxun; As soon as the news arrives, he will be able to get moving.
"Feng Xiao, sell wine tomorrow, I'll see if I can get usable information from some people's mouths to ......"
