Chapter 117: Trouble with the Henchmen

Thank you for the book friend Smoke Purgatory, the reward of the green shirt Zuru!

……

"Praying mantis as a car!" This is how Cheng Wu describes his original clan, and he has packaged himself as a troubled man who has awakened and joined the Maven. Just like the Taigong of Qi back then, he tasted Yin Shang Di Xin, and Di Xin had no way, so he went to return to Zhou.

On the other hand, he is also the "intelligence director" of Chengyi, and under the authorization of Zhao Wuxian, like an eight-clawed spider, he uses opportunities such as clan relations and door-to-door divination to spread silk nets all over Chengxiang.

So the last time I started grinding beans in the Xiangsi, several members of the Cheng clan began to spread rumors on the front foot, and someone on the back foot told Cheng Wu.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and there were a few vertical maids who were still retained by the Cheng clan, who only needed to buy rice and grain, plus the promise of Cheng Wu's empty mouth, to become his little bird. For twelve hours a day, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the master of the Cheng clan in the wall, and those dissatisfactions, hatreds, and conspiracies will be reported to Cheng Wu as soon as possible.

As a result, Zhao Wuxian learned from it that Cheng Weng seemed to be planning something recently, and in the days of the Xiagong Bazaar, he also sent people out of the countryside to have dealings with his eldest son Cheng He under Zhao Zhongxin, as if he wanted to do something to Zhao Wuxian's treasury that had just filled up the wheat.

"This is the third time." Zhao Wuxian muttered to himself in the village temple.

From the refusal to welcome at the beginning, to the boycott of the Daitian method and winter planting, and then to this time, the Cheng family has died three times in a row. Zhao Wuxian felt that his kindness to them was enough.

After the wheat is ripe, he still has a lot of important things to do, and if he allows this internal problem to continue, he will always have to be distracted. What's more, there is a saying in later generations, it is said that open guns are easy to block, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent.

So he asked his confidant Yu Xi to call Chengwu to the village temple.

……

The black and thin Cheng Wu had mysterious eye shadow painted on his face, three bright pheasant feathers on his head, and he was wearing the outfit of the three elders.

"Yu recently flipped through the Zheng Guo torture book sent by Master Deng, and saw that there was an excerpt from what the priest said, and he was quite insightful, and he shared it with the three elders today."

Zhao Wuxian stared at Cheng Wu, his eyes were scorching, so he didn't dare to look directly, so he could only keep his head down and obey.

"The sacrificial Zhong said that Zheng Zhuang Gong said: It has been done for a long time, and there is no way to breed vines, and it is difficult to make vines. The vines and weeds are still uneliminable, and the trouble of the henchmen is great! ”

Cheng Wu listened, his heart trembled, thinking of the recent movements of the Cheng clan, gentleman, what is this hinting at him?

The meaning of this sentence is that everything should be dealt with as soon as possible, and do not let the root cause grow and spread, because once it grows and spreads, it will be difficult to deal with it. At that time, the priest repeatedly admonished Zhuang Gong to find an opportunity to eradicate his younger brother Gongshu Duan, who had a big tail, so as not to become a big trouble.

But Zheng Zhuanggong, the first tyrant of the Spring and Autumn Period, prevaricated with "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and your aunt will treat you".

Combined with the cause and effect, Zhao Wuxian knew that Zheng Zhuanggong, a black-bellied man, felt that the time was not ripe, so he played the trick of first arsoning with evil and leading rebellion, and then raising troops to suppress it.

But Zhao Wuxian's situation is different, with his current degree of control over Chengxiang, if he raises his arms, more than a thousand men can drive him forward. Even if some cruel and ruthless methods are used, it is impossible to make any big mess inside.

So, it's time to close the net.

He smiled, took a few steps forward, and said cordially with his hand holding Cheng Wu: "The third elder of the township has been in office for half a year, and his political achievements are remarkable, which is in the eyes of everyone. Cheng Weng was pleased that the clan had a talent like you, so he sent someone to report the day before yesterday, saying that he intended to pass on the position of the head of the Cheng family to you...... Lo and behold, this is a brochure that illustrates the matter. ”

"The head of the house! I? ”

Cheng Wu's mouth opened wide in shock. I have never heard of this, and it is absolutely impossible, the son of the Cheng clan is obviously Cheng He, a retainer of Zhao Zhongxin.

After taking the booklet from the beginning to the end, he quickly understood, and suddenly sweated on his forehead, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly.

Suicide note, this is a suicide note written by Cheng Weng "himself"!

Today's gentleman seems to have been affected by the newly acquired Wuzhong sword, and began to show his edge, implying murderous intent.

Seeing that he understood, Zhao Wuxian said meaningfully: "Yu heard that Cheng Weng is sick again, can the third elder go to visit me on my behalf?" ”

Cheng Wu gritted his teeth and said, "The servant understands, so let's go." ”

Before he stepped out of the threshold, Zhao Wuxian said another sentence faintly, which made Cheng Wu, who was still a little weak in his heart, almost stumble and fall.

"Yu is not Duke Wen of Jin, you don't want Cheng Weng to be Duke Wei."

……

Of course, Zhao Wuxian would not let Cheng Wu do this alone, he sent Yu Xishuai and light knights to follow, and slowly walked out of the stable as he usually patrolled the countryside. After leaving the villagers' field of vision, they made the horses rank and quietly dispersed into five troops outside the Cheng manor, monitoring from afar, and making sure not to let suspicious people escape.

He also asked Tian Ben and Jing to bring two infantry each, and enter with Chengwu.

Tian Ben is an outlaw, and he is extremely disgusted with the Cheng family, and he is extremely happy to do some dirty things for Zhao Wuxian, and he will not have any psychological burden.

The one or two of the well are in good order, and they are the best candidates to maintain stability.

He did not want to cause riots and looting, but after a swift blow, the transition was as calm as water.

Yes, to put it simply, it's just for the Cheng family, to change the head of the family, and pick up a few thorns that poke hands.

Cheng Wu got off the ox cart, silently walked at the front of the team, and stepped into the Cheng manor again. There is still a small amount of the stone wall that was demolished half a year ago, but Cheng Wu has no intention of feeling that things are wrong, he has been thinking about what the gentleman said before he went out.

Back then, after Duke Wen of Jin returned to China, he hated Weiguo's snub when he was in exile, and was annoyed that Weicheng voted for Chu. So after winning the battle of Chengpu, the lord of the Zhuxia Alliance started to settle accounts after the autumn and sent Wu Zhu to kill him, but Wei Ren bribed the witch doctor and the poison was reduced, so Wei Chenggong was lucky not to die.

The gentleman is hinting to him, do things, clean hands and feet, don't drag mud and water.

The maids here seem to have a premonition of something, the woods are not felled, and the birds are scattered, so today the door of the manor is wide open.

The soldiers of the Cheng clan had already been deprived half a year ago, and all the armor was confiscated by the township temple, leaving only some timid clansmen who closed their doors tightly for fear of being affected.

Therefore, Cheng Wu went all the way unimpeded, passing through the hall and passing through the room, but the only obstacle was encountered outside Cheng Weng's residence.

Uncle Cheng trembled, and Cheng Lang, who had a gloomy face, glared angrily at the uninvited Cheng Wu, and he said:

"The third elder of the township, what are you doing when you come here today?"

Cheng Wu had stabilized his mind, he was short, and his height was not as high as the two in front of him, so he raised his head and said: "Visiting the old man with a dove cane is the duty of the three elders of the township to care for the lonely, widowed, old and weak, not to mention, I am also a member of the Cheng family, please get out of the way, I want to go in to diagnose Ah Weng's pulse and heal the disease." ”

Cheng Lang spat at him: "You still have the face to claim to be a member of the Cheng clan?" Do you have to bring so much armor with you for a healing visit? Or is it to send a light of poison like dealing with Cheng's Jizi? ”

Cheng Wu was uncovered, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, this stubborn person is the hindrance of the gentleman!

If Cheng Weng dies, among the remaining people, Uncle Cheng is cowardly and not to be afraid. But this Cheng Lang is like the stubborn people back then, and judging from the news that Cheng Wu heard, this person is also the person who has the most active contact with the outside world.

Chengwu is no longer the son of the sin who was scolded by others and expelled from the clan like a dog ten years ago, and behind him, he has a strong backer.

So he narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Cheng Lang drinks day and day, I'm afraid I'm drunk, so as not to disturb Ah Weng, Tian Sima, how about bothering you to bring this person down?" ”

"Yui!" So Cheng Lang was pulled open by Tian Ben from the lintel, and he wanted to scream to remind Cheng Weng in the house, but he was covered by several Zhao soldiers and dragged to a corner where everyone couldn't see.

At first, I could still hear the sound of the struggle of Cheng Lang's limbs, but after a while, he stopped squeaking completely.

When Tian Ben came back, his face did not change, only a few eye-catching blood spots on his cheeks and hands......
