After a while, don't drive Xia Guangyao, Changshi, Sima and others all came over and saluted Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "I called you here to talk about the fourth battalion of the Datong Army that just arrived ten miles north of Shuozhou City, they were transferred by order of this general, the Shuozhou County soldiers are rotten and have become Wang Shengdao's private soldiers, this situation must not continue, any army is the army of the Tang Dynasty, it is the emperor's army, not other private ones!" General Ben originally wanted to rectify the county soldiers, but the county soldiers were firmly controlled by Wang Shengdao, and the general was worried that he would not accept the rectification and make something happen, in case of a bombing of the camp or a mutiny during the rectification, the fourth battalion of the Datong Army could also be immediately bombed and suppressed nearby, and the chaos would not be expanded, so about the arrival of the fourth battalion of the Datong Army, I hope you will not panic! But I didn't expect that now Wang Shengdao was assassinated, it seems that there is no need for the fourth battalion of the Datong Army to stay outside Shuozhou City anymore, and General Ben will order them to return to the garrison tomorrow! ”

Cui Jinrong originally had some doubts about whether the assassination of Wang Shengdao was secretly arranged by Zhao Ziliang, not only did he suspect this, but even several other key officials were suspicious, after all, this matter was really a coincidence, and it was normal for them to be suspicious, but after listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, most of their suspicions were gone.

Cui Jinrong saw that Zhao Ziliang was going to transfer the fourth battalion of the Datong Army back, and hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, general, in the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to wait for the rectification of the county soldiers to get on the right track and then transfer the fourth battalion of the Datong Army back, several of the county soldiers are Wang Shengdao's henchmen, and they are also people of the Wang family. ”

"This ・・・・・・" Zhao Ziliang hesitated.

When the other officials saw it, they all persuaded one after another: "Yes, general, just wait for the county soldiers to be reorganized and on the right track, and then transfer the fourth battalion of the Datong Army, as for the food, drink, and Lazar of the fourth battalion here during this time, everything will be provided by my Shuozhou Mansion!" ”

Taishou Cui Jinrong also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, the supply of the fourth battalion during this period is in charge of my Shuozhou Mansion!" ”

"Well, since you have requested, General Ben will let the fourth battalion stay temporarily" After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he turned over and got on his war horse, and left in the respectful send-off of Cui Jinrong and others.

At dusk, Cui Jinrong took a cadre of officials to Zhao Ziliang's residence to report the case, Zhao Ziliang met them in the hall, everyone just sat down, Cui Jinrong was about to stand up and report, at this time from outside the door came a Hu Cong hugged his fist and said: "General Qiqi, there are more than a dozen people outside the door, and the first person is the first person to ask to see the general, he said that he is the Northern Capital Taishou, Hedong Jiedu Envoy Sima Wang Zhaolun!" ”

Zhao Ziliang knew that the northern capital that Hu Cong said in his mouth meant Taiyuan Mansion, and the Tang Dynasty not only had the eastern capital Luoyang and the western capital Chang'an, but also the northern capital Taiyuan, and Guy Taiyuan was the place where Li Tang's dragon rose. In the Sui Dynasty, Taiyuan County was placed, and at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was called the state of merger, and the governor's mansion was initially placed, and then changed to the governor's mansion, and in the first year of the longevity of the martial arts, the northern capital was placed, and the state was restored. In the eleventh year of Kaiyuan, the northern capital was placed again, and the state was changed to Taiyuan Mansion.

Zhao Ziliang took the famous thorn and looked at it, frowned and said, "Wang Zhaolun? ”

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Ziliang remembered that when he went to Taiyuan Mansion to see Tian Renwan, there seemed to be an official named Wang Zhaolun among the officials he saw, but there were too many officials in Taiyuan at that time, and he didn't pay much attention to Wang Zhaolun, so he asked the Shuozhou officials present: "What is the relationship between this Wang Zhaolun and Wang Shengdao?" ”

Cui Jinrong stood up and saluted: "General, Wang Shengdao is Wang Zhaolun's nephew and stepson!" Because Wang Zhaolun had no son, Wang Shengdao's biological father passed him on to Wang Zhaolun! This Wang Zhaolun is the former ambassador of the Datong Army! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang was a little surprised, and said that Wang Zhaolun has some skills, although the ambassador of the Datong Army Festival seems to be in charge of the army and the people, but in fact its focus is still on the army, and the management of the government affairs of the three states is still responsible for the state Taishou, so the Datong Army Festival Ambassador is actually a military general, when Wang Zhaolun has changed from a general in the army, he has become the Taishou of Taiyuan Mansion, and also serves as the marching Sima of the Hedong Army, Taiyuan Mansion is the northern capital, and the grade of this Taishou is one level higher than the general Taishou, Not only does he have a strong voice in the officialdom of Hedong, but he still holds such an important military position as the marching Sima in the military! It can be said that Wang Zhaolun's grade will not be lower than Zhao Ziliang, no wonder it is said that the Taiyuan royal family, except for the members of the Li Tang royal family, this Taiyuan has almost become the base camp of the Taiyuan royal family!

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Hu Cong: "Go and invite Lord Wang to come in!" ”

"No!"

Soon, a slender man in his fifties walked in, this person had a long beard and a stiff body, worthy of being a military general.

Zhao Ziliang got up and walked down the steps, and Wang Zhaolun, who was walking on the opposite side, had already arched his hand and said: "When the official heard that his son was assassinated, he was so anxious that he hurried to ask for a meeting, but he was very abrupt, and he didn't inform the general in advance, and please don't blame the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang bowed his hand and said: "Lord Wang's pain of losing his son, I would have understood, hey! People can't be resurrected after death, and please mourn the changes on the Wang's Day! ”

Wang Zhaolun's expression was sad and chaotic, but the basic etiquette was not forgotten, it can be seen that this big family is also different from ordinary small families, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you, thank you!" This official came to Shuozhou this time, first, he wanted to see the child's body and bring it back to Taiyuan for burial; In addition, the general is not only the envoy of the left wing, but also the ambassador of the Datong Army, and the second official wants General Zhao to uphold justice for Xiao Er, and catch the murderer as soon as possible to pay for my son's life! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Understand, understand!" When Lord Wang came, he must have seen the people who had been placed under martial law at various intersection checkpoints, post stations, and checkpoints, hoping that this move would temporarily stop the assassins in Shuozhou, and in addition, General Ben had instructed Shuozhou Mansion to strictly investigate the case, and now the main officials of Shuozhou Mansion are here, and Lord Taishou Cui is also about to report to General Ben on the analysis of the case of General Wang Shengdao's assassination, Lord Wang can listen on the sidelines, come here, and prepare a seat for Lord Wang! ”

Someone immediately agreed to carry the chair, Wang Zhaolun hurriedly said to Zhao Ziliang: "Thank you, General Zhao!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded to Cui Jinrong, and Cui Jinrong immediately stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang, Wang Zhaolun and Zhao Ziliang's entourage, and said: "General, my lords, during the day today, the Shuozhou Mansion has sent officials to conduct a detailed investigation and search of the scene, and there are already some conclusions!" First of all, the murder weapon used by the assassin was a bow and arrow, the arrow was left in the neck of the corpse, an arrow penetrated the throat, and the arrow shaft penetrated the neck in seven lengths, which shows that the strength of the bow and crossbow used was great, and the arrow was taken down, and we found that the arrow came from the army, that is to say, the assassin used the standard arrow in the army, and the arrow was engraved with the name of the person who made it. According to the location where General Wang was killed by an arrow and fell from his horse, the direction he was facing at that time, and the direction in which the arrow pierced the neck of the corpse, we deduced the approximate location of the assassin at that time, and quickly found some traces left by the assassin at the scene, but this assassin was extremely cunning and cautious, he should have been extremely calm when he assassinated, and he was murderous, he erased all the traces that could prove his identity, we can only see that someone was once in that position! Since no one had ever seen an Assassin, it was impossible to determine what the Assassin looked like, whether it was a man or a woman, etc., and now I only know that the Assassins used arrows from among the soldiers! ”

"County soldiers?" Wang Zhaolun was furious, and immediately stood up and said loudly with red eyes: "Then check the county soldiers, check immediately!" ”

The two county lieutenants immediately stood up and said loudly, "Yes, my lord," and turned around and walked out.

Everyone present was stunned for a while, everyone knew that it was Zhao Ziliang who was in charge, not Wang Zhaolun, and now Wang Zhaolun actually declared his army to seize the master, and two county military captains received orders on the spot, how could Zhao Ziliang be embarrassed?

Sure enough, Zhao Ziliang was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to eradicate Wang Shengdao's cronies who stayed in the county soldiers, he was furious on the spot, and slapped the table angrily: "Presumptuous, this is Shuozhou, not Taiyuan Mansion!" The soldiers of Shuozhou County are directly under the command of the Datong Army Jiedu Ambassador's Office, and there is no general order from this general, whose order are you waiting for? Come on, take these two down, drag them out and beat them with forty military sticks to set an example! ”

"No!" The four strong men next to him rushed out, and each of them dragged a county lieutenant outside.

At this time, Wang Zhaolun also realized that he had committed a big taboo, his face changed several times in a row, and he still pleaded with Zhao Ziliang: "General Zhao is angry, and he is in a mess under the loss of his son, and he is out of shape for a while, please forgive the general, don't worry about them!" ”

Zhao Ziliang had long known that these two county military captains were Wang Shengdao's cronies in the county soldiers, and they were all members of the Wang family, and it was time to pull them out, where would he give up so easily? Shaking his head, he said, "Lord Wang's words are wrong! It's not that General Ben doesn't give Lord Wang this face, but the Lord is also a person who has led soldiers, so he should know what is the most taboo in the army, and you don't need to say more about General Ben, you know, right? ”

After speaking, he shouted to the four servants: "Drag it out!" ”

Wang Zhaolun's face changed several times, and finally endured it and didn't say anything again, he saw Zhao Ziliang's determined look, and when it came to military power, Zhao Ziliang's resolute attitude made him extinguish his pleading.

Soon, there was a dull sound of sticks hitting his body outside, and then there was a miserable scream of two people crying for their fathers and mothers, Wang Zhaolun's face was very ugly, but at this time he couldn't do anything. (To be continued.) )
