Jiang Xin of Shu temporarily imprisoned some suspects in the military department, and Wang Zhaoyuan heard that some of the soldiers were temporarily escorted to the prison cell and waited for the prison, so he immediately invited Li Jin and others to the mansion to discuss matters.

Li Jin said: "Then Jiang Xin is a person close to Li Hao, and the reason for investigating the case this time is to eliminate dissidents and communiqué personal vendettas, Prime Minister, we must fight back this time." ”

"I didn't provoke Li Hao's old man at all, why did Li Hao put me to death again and again, this time the treasury account books were stolen, I am sure that Li Lao Pifu's people did it."

Li Jin asked rhetorically: "Prime minister, what should we do this time?" What if the books are their work? ”

"If they really stole the books, even if there was evidence, they would not be able to tell them about them. Li Jin, don't act rashly on your side, I will go to the palace to talk to Your Majesty about the military department. ”

After Wang Zhaoyuan finished speaking, he changed into an official uniform and entered the palace.

When Meng Chang heard that his confidant had entered the palace, he immediately greeted him and said, "Zhaoyuan, you are here." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan pleaded bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is here this time for the affairs of the Ministry of War, these days, Jiang Xin of Dali Temple claimed that His Majesty issued an edict, and now he has arrested a large number of officials in the Ministry of War, and there is no one to be dispatched in the Ministry of War." ”

"Oh, this Jiang Xin really dragged all the suspects into prison?"

"Your Majesty, if the Song State invades on a large scale, and no one is dispatched by the military department, how can it be good?"

"Since I have spoken out, I will not take it back, but those officials are safe for their lives, so your Privy Council can rest assured."

With His Majesty's words, Zhaoyuan was relieved. Your Majesty, the theft of the account book of the fire of the ordnance superintendent, and the destruction of the naval warship? ”

"Zhaoyuan, according to the statement, these things must be related, but no evidence has been found for the time being, if I find it, I will definitely destroy his nine clans."

"Your Majesty, the minister said something unpleasant, apart from the Song Kingdom, who else does Your Majesty think can be manipulated in secret?"

"This matter is really tricky, but I didn't expect that after I went to Qingcheng Mountain, such things happened one after another, which made Chengdu fall into trouble all of a sudden."

Wang Zhaoyuan suggested: "Your Majesty, please order the closure of the city, strengthen the vigilance of the whole city, and set up soldiers to guard each city gate and passage, check the passing merchants, foreign envoys......"

Meng Chang said helplessly: "I can only do this." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan went back to the mansion after leaving the palace, he kept thinking that after he left Chengdu, there was a Tibetan mastiff being poisoned and the little guy being killed in the mansion, he was not sure that it must be Li Hao's people, but who else would there be......

On this night, a silent night, suddenly a black shadow rushed into Wang Zhaoyuan's house. Wang Zhaoyuan was in the study at this time, and those figures flashed in front of the window.

The black shadow flashed, Wang Zhaoyuan was contemplating and thinking, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of several black shadows flashing outside out of the corner of his eye, and he didn't know who was outside the window.

He wanted to open the window to look at it, but suddenly a few black shadows flashed outside the door, Wang Zhaoyuan was uneasy, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat, "Who?" ”

The door was pushed open at once, and seven or eight men in black rushed in.

Wang Zhaoyuan was immediately so frightened that he fell off the stool, his whole body trembled like chaff, and his feet began to scream.

Wang Zhaoyuan trembled and said, "You are...... Who? How did you get in? ”

"You are Wang Zhaoyuan?" A man in black asked.

"I ...... It's Wang Zhaoyuan. Wang Zhaoyuan looked at the eyes of the man in black in horror, but when he heard and saw the man's eyes as sharp as a tiger and wolf, he suddenly lowered his head in fright.

The man in black threatened: "Hahaha - if you go against Li Xiang, you will die, this time we are here to warn you, don't act rashly, otherwise you will lose your pig's head immediately." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan: "Yes, yes, a good man spares his life!" I will never dare to go against Li Xiang again. ”

"Hmph-dare to go against us Li Xiang is this end!" After all, the man? With a wave of the big knife, it slashed at the stool that Wang Zhao was sitting on in the distance, and with a "click-" sound, the stool was split in half at once.

Wang Zhaoyuan immediately hugged his head.

"Quick, go get pen and paper, what I say, how do you write." One urged.

When Wang Zhaoyuan heard that the man wanted to take the pen and paper by himself, he slowly squirmed and crawled on the ground with difficulty.

"Hurry up!" The man pointed a knife at Wang Zhaoyuan.

Wang Zhaoyuan saw the big knife shining in the dark candle flames, and quickly got up, picked up the pen and paper from the desk, because he was too afraid, the unwashed brush suddenly pulled on his face.

"Move quickly, don't hesitate, watch out for the pig's head."

"Wang Zhaoyuan, the privy envoy of the minister, has followed the current emperor of Shu since he was thirteen years old...... He used his position for personal gain, secretly collaborated with enemy countries, sold weapons to merchants of Wu Yue Kingdom without permission, and changed account books...... Everything is done by despicable people. ”

Wang Zhaoyuan listened to the words of the man in black and wrote letters...... At this moment, his back was already soaked, and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

About half an hour later, Wang Zhaoyuan finally finished writing the confession according to the man in black.

"A good man spares his life!" Wang Zhaoyuan smiled smugly when he saw the man, thinking that he was going to die in the hands of that man.

Immediately, the black-clothed man slapped the back of his knife on his back, and Wang Zhaoyuan lost consciousness.

The man in black laughed, and seven or eight people left Wang Zhaoyuan's mansion together and disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhaoyuan was awakened by the cold ground, he opened his eyes sleepily, and then saw himself lying on the cold ground.

He wiped his sweat and said in his heart: "I was really shocked last night, I almost died, the hateful old man Li wanted to coerce himself to write that letter, and he will be a man with his tail between his legs in the future." ”

……

At the beginning of October, the explosion in the Chengdu Mansion of Shu and the destruction of ships had been transmitted to Kaifeng through secret letters.

Outside the city is like home, Zhao Dezhao has been concerned about education these days, and at this moment he received a secret letter and learned that things were done well, so he nodded.

It just so happened that the black-clothed Tanhua was also here, and he immediately said: "Wu Yongzi, Zhang Hui, and Qin Xi have done a good job, and they have contributed to my Great Song this time." Brother Tanhua, this time it's time for you to make a move, here is a list of assassinations, you have to follow the instructions above, and eliminate all the people and horses who hinder the unification of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

The black-clothed Tanhua took the assassination list from Zhao Dezhao's hand, then spread out the note and looked at it, and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely complete their mission and never disappoint Your Highness's arrangement." ”

"By the way, after arriving in Chengdu, I will go to Xiaobaihualou to contact Qin Xi and Zhang Hui, and if you have something, you will find them, and this time you will come with some grenades and gunpowder."

"No! Your subordinates obey Your Highness's orders! ”
