Although there were twenty or thirty people sitting or standing in the lobby, there was no sound, only heavy breathing kept sounding, and everyone's faces were very ugly, just because this change was too big, too unexpected. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When someone reported the news that Yang Yinglong had been assassinated and killed, the first reaction of both Hou Chang and others felt that it was a lie! How is this possible? This is Banzhou City, the nest they have been operating for many years, and they have taken many precautions in the previous period, how can it be possible to let only two assassins succeed?

But then, they accepted the amazing news, just because everyone knew that no one would dare to joke about such a thing. After hurriing to Yang's mansion and seeing Yang Yinglong's bloody corpse, everyone was stunned again, and for a moment, these people's minds were blank, and they didn't know what to say at all.

Yang Yinglong, as the great Tusi of Banzhou, not only holds great power and has a great name, but also is the backbone of the rebel army here, and even the entire southwest rebellion. Now that he is dead, the impact on the army at the front will naturally be immeasurable, not only will the morale of his own army inevitably suffer a great setback, but the momentum of the officers and troops will come up!

Of course, these people can't think of it this far now, and now they are only concerned about two things, how to catch the assassin's murderer and avenge Toast, and find out the real master of this matter!

Although there were all kinds of signs before that all this should have been done by the Jinyi Guards who had sneaked into the city, but after the matter reached this point, it made people feel a strong suspicion, was it really the people of the Jinyi Guards who did it?

In the past, the people of Jinyiwei tried their best to make trouble in the city, and even assassinated Yang Yinglong, but which time did they succeed? The only time he rushed into Yang's mansion, wasn't it also annihilated, but he couldn't even enter the courtyard for the second time? And today, only two assassins drove straight into Yang's mansion and calmly retreated after killing Yang Yinglong, which is too suspicious.

What they suspected was that this assassination was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, it was just a conspiracy designed by someone in the name of Yang Zhen and Jin Yiwei, and this person was a close confidant of Yang Yinglong in the city. Because only the people around him can find out his weaknesses and thus hit him with one hit!

Hou Chang naturally became the biggest target of their suspicions! According to the people in the house, it was the two Assassins who broke into the door with his token, and then the Assassins went out of the city with it. He, Hou Chang, is the most valued steward by Yang Yinglong, just ask for various reasons, who else can he suspect if he doesn't doubt it?

Although he had defended himself, saying that he had handed over the token to his subordinates to protect the granary, it was only later that he found out that the two had been killed and took off their clothes and disguises. But this argument is not so convincing, and there has never been any attack on the granary, so why should he make such an arrangement?

Hou Chang naturally felt the suspicion from his companions, but he had a hard time arguing. This kind of thing often gets darker and darker, and at this moment, I can only endure the resentment in my heart, and at the same time feel some fear.

It was only at this time that he understood the entire game laid out by Yang Zhen. It seems that the sound is attacking the west, but in fact, it is a real and good fun for them. I can only laugh at my own speculations before, but I don't know how to enter the other party's nest early. All kinds of arrangements were led by the nose, but in the end, they neglected the most important places, and they were stabbed by the human line.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you do need to pay a lot of responsibility. If he hadn't thought he had seen through Yang Zhen's plan and persuaded Yang Yinglong to react accordingly, there would have been no such result.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Hou Chang's heart became, thinking that with the existence of such a guy, it was no wonder that the White Lotus Church had suffered many losses, and no wonder this person named Yang Zhen would have such a big name. Now, I only hope to make amends and catch the assassin as soon as possible, so that I can avenge Master Toast without being suspected!

Thinking of this, Hou Chang, who was sitting on the top side, couldn't help but stand up, hurriedly came to the door of the hall, and gently pushed open a gap to look out. It's a pity that there is almost nothing visible outside the hall except for the darkness, and at the same time, there are a few miserable cries coming from the courtyard behind, which makes everyone look sideways, it is the family members of Yang Yinglong's back house crying......

When he closed the door again and turned around again, Hou Chang saw several pairs of eyes staring at him, which made his body tremble suddenly, and he reluctantly said: "I just want to know when I can catch those assassins back, so as to avenge the master!" ”

"Steward Hou, do you want those assassins to be taken, or are you afraid that they will be caught?" Yang Yinglong's other confidant, Xin Pei, suddenly asked a little unlawlessly.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Although everyone has certain doubts about this, no one really dares to make it clear. Now that Xin Pei said this, many people have set their eyes on Hou Chang to see how he responds.

Hou Chang's face also changed, knowing that he should come and couldn't avoid it, he couldn't retreat at this time, so he stared at the other party and said, "Mr. Xin, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What? Do I have to make it clear? There are too many strange things about this incident, not to mention that the assassin sneaked into the mansion with the token of your manager, and the toast master you saw, just the words you persuaded the toast master before are very suspicious. You Hou Chang, what role did you play in this matter, but it is really difficult to see. ”

"Do you suspect that I am the murderer of Toast? What evidence do you have? Seeing that the other party was so aggressive, Hou Chang immediately stepped forward and said menacingly: "I want to suspect that you are!" I told Toast before, only the two of us know, but how do you know? Could it be that you have already planted eyeliner around us, saying, what are your intentions? ”

"You're biting back, don't think that saying that will make people ignore your problem!"

"You're the one who spews blood!"

"Two, two of you and take a break from your anger, now is not the time to quarrel......" Seeing that the two people who held a certain amount of real power, and they were both Yang Yinglong's confidants, quarreled, the others hurriedly stood up and persuaded them. It's just that these people look a little strange in their eyes and expressions, and they look at Hou Chang with unsettling doubts.

When Hou Chang saw it, his heart tightened even more: "I won't care about it, but my loyalty to Tusi can be learned, but it is not something he can tarnish!" ”

"We naturally understand Steward Hou's loyalty, but this time the matter is really troublesome, and the assassin is because you entered the mansion, so ......" Xuan Dazhong hesitated for a moment, and finally made his position clear: "I hope Steward Hou can understand everyone's thoughts." ”

As a general in charge of more than half of the military horses in Banzhou City, Xuan Dazhong's attitude is extremely important. Hearing him say this, several other people nodded one after another, but Hou Chang's expression changed again, and then his face turned a little white: "Xuan Dazhong, how are you doing?" ”

"We don't dare to suspect you casually, but we need to catch those assassins first. If these Assassins did escape, it would only mean that some of us were trying to figure it out with them. In this way, it is impossible to say that the only way to take down the Hou steward is to be in order. Xuan Dazhong said and glanced at the others around him: "What do you think?" ”

"Yes, only with the help of our own men can the Assassin escape without a trace, otherwise even if they leave the city first, they will be found and taken by our men. If they can't get someone, your Hou Chang's suspicion is the greatest! Xin Pei immediately nodded in agreement.

And the others, after a little thought, also agreed with this statement and nodded their heads. Seeing that they all had this attitude, although Hou Changman was not convinced, he was also a little helpless. Now his only hope was that the soldiers and horses who would then chase him out of the city would find and capture them as soon as possible.

But his prayer was quickly dashed. On the fourth watch, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and when the door opened, I saw a man covered in snow walking in with some difficulty: "Everyone, ......"

Before he could finish his salute, Hou Chang quickly rushed to him, grabbed his hand and asked, "How is it, have those assassins been found?" ”

The man's face suddenly showed a look of shame: "Because the sky is dark, and it is windy and snowy, we have been looking outside the city for a long time but have not been able to find their whereabouts...... Obviously, they are very familiar with the surrounding roads, so ......"

"What? It's like this......" Hou Chang was stunned for a moment, and then his body only felt a burst of weakness, and his eyes were also blackened.

But Xin Pei spoke at this time: "Hou Chang, at this time, don't pretend anymore, this thing must have been planned by you, don't try to hide it from my eyes." Come on, take him down for me. ”

With this order, several soldiers broke into Hula outside the door, and after seeing Xuan Dazhong nodding silently, several people stepped forward and pressed Hou Chang.

It was only at this time that Hou Chang came back to his senses: "You ......" He had seen clearly, everything was in the plan of the two, otherwise there would not be exactly two Xuan Dazhong's subordinates waiting outside the door.

But at this time, it was useless for him to say anything, and at the signal of Xuan Dazhong, he was quickly tied up, and then escorted out.

And just when Hou Chang was escorted away, Xin Pei looked at the people in front of him and said, "Since Lord Yang was suddenly killed, we must deal with it quickly." The top priority now is to establish a successor first, otherwise it will only mess up the morale of the army in front......"

"You are obviously prepared for a long time, and you have colluded with each other...... It's a pity that his judgment can no longer be said......
