Seeing Feng Ziming say this, Lin Menglong continued disappreciatively: "So, Xu Dudu, can you explain why the assassination broke out at the same time after you took Situ Lei's envoy to the military camp?" ”

"What? How do you know ......" When Xu Jie heard this, he immediately stood up and asked urgently. As soon as he said it, he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, everyone present stared at them coldly.

Xu Jie couldn't help but feel a tingling of his scalp. Such a secret thing of his own was actually known by the people of the Xiaoguo Army. And now, it's on the table again. What's even more fatal is that the assassination also appeared at this moment.

Lin Menglong smiled and said, "No way, I am in charge of salt trade in various places, and I have seen a lot of merchants coming and going, and I also got this news unintentionally." Originally, I wasn't going to care about these things. But now that the knife has fallen on my head, it doesn't matter! ”

Xu Jie's face turned a little gray, he knew that since Lin Menglong said such a sentence, he no longer had any advantage, this assassination was really not done by him. But now, it wasn't what he did, it became what he did.

Sure enough, in Yanzhou City, he has always been the boss of the sky, and my second eldest Ding Qiang took the lead in firing.

"Bang......" Ding Qiang slapped his palm on the table, stared at Xu Jie with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "Xu Dudu, what do you mean by this?" secretly negotiated peace with the people of the left prime minister, but used the Tang Army to cover it up. When it's over, we who still want to kill are on our backs. Oh, by the way, it's not all, it's also to blame me. Hum! General Ben and you are not finished! ”

"Stabbing the ......" Immediately, the guards and soldiers in the right column all drew out their long swords at their waists, and the aura of murder was undoubted. This time, Ding Qiang really had killing intent in his heart, and even his own hand involuntarily put it on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, staring at Xu Jie in a gloomy manner, thinking about whether to execute Xu Jie here.

Situ Lei's participation is different from the participation of the Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army. If you want to say that Murong Cheng's biggest enemies now, they are Situ Lei and Zhao Xun. But Zhao Xun is located in the north, and now he is busy building canals, and the threat to Murong Cheng is not very big, or rather, it is not imminent. But Situ Lei is different, Situ Lei and Murong Cheng are in the court, and the struggle for power has become obvious. In Murong Cheng's opinion, Dayan belongs to the Murong family and has nothing to do with Situ Lei. Why did he use the name of the left prime minister to rule the world.

......The soldiers of the government army are not ambiguous, this governor's mansion is the territory of the government army, and there are 20,000 government troops around Yanzhou City, and they are not afraid of anyone.

Feng Ziming really didn't know anything about the news of the arrival of Situ Lei's envoy, and now, because of Xu Jie's concealment, his heart was full of annoyance. You put me in charge of negotiating with them about the Assassins, and let me be in charge of negotiating with the Tang Army. In the end, everyone who played with your hand came up to attack it, and I didn't seem to know it.

Xu Jie and Ding Qiang moved their knives, and the representatives of the other government forces changed their faces one after another. If you really fight, these people are no better than Ding. Ding Qiang came with an escort, but he and the others were indeed unarmed, and in this Governor's Mansion, there was really no way to live.

Ding Qiang's face also changed slightly, and at this moment he remembered that this was the Governor's Mansion, not a battlefield, not outside, and not in his own barracks. If you really want to do it, you will definitely not have good fruit. Dan Ding Qiang was not a person who bowed his head in defeat, his hand was tightly clenched on the long sword at his waist, and he looked directly at Xu Jie coldly.

At this moment, Xu Jie really had the idea of killing Ding Qiang. As long as Ding Qiang is killed, a total of 10,000 guards inside and outside the city will not be a problem. Besides, he and Wu Weijun were already at odds with each other, and they both became hostile people. Kill Ding Qiang, the three mansions occupied by the Wuwei army in Yanzhou will soon be recovered, and with the support of Situ Lei, he is not afraid of Murong Cheng.

"Xu Dudu, you don't want to kill us all! We're here, but we know it. If something happens to us, the Wuwei Army, the Tang Army, the Xuzhou Army, and our Xiaoguo Army will definitely break through your Yanzhou land. Lin Menglong said with a laugh.

"That's right! That's what I mean. Xu Jie, you are ruthless, you actually tricked us! Ling He, the envoy of the Tang Army, said in a deep voice. Ling He was also assassinated, and his entire arm was wrapped in a white cloth as thick as a thigh. He was extremely annoyed by the assassination. Now hearing about Situ Lei's incident has added fuel to the fire.

"It's the same with my Xuzhou Army!" Li Fangzong said casually. At this moment, everything can be left behind, and it is absolutely impossible to let him and Situ Lei get on the line, for this reason, even if it is peace talks and alliances with Tang Jun.

Xu Jie slowly hid the killing intent in his heart, he understood that he couldn't move these people. Especially Ding Qiang, today may be a good opportunity, but after losing it, it will be difficult to act in the future.

Xu Jie took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, the Governor of Pontus can swear that this assassination was not done by the Governor of Pontus. The Pontus will also do his best to oversee the matter. If you have any news, you can also report it to me. As for the envoy of the left minister that Lord Lin Menglong said about him, the governor of this capital did not dare to agree. Who is the left minister, who am I? If the imperial court sends people to inspect the land of the Governor of Pontus, does the Governor of Pontus have the right to stop it? ”

looked at everyone, with a sneer on their faces, Xu Jie also knew that he seemed to have become the public enemy of these people. At this moment, he was a little skeptical that what he was doing was right or wrong. Now that Situ Lei has only sent a messenger and has not yet negotiated the price, if Situ Lei can't give his son support, what should he do? What if Situ Lei just wanted to see himself and the guards and these people in trouble?

In an instant, many thoughts surged in Xu Jie's mind. Suddenly, he realized that the situation in Yanzhou City was no longer under his control. Xu Jie still faintly felt a trace of fear, if this assassin was sent by Situ Lei, then what should he do? Situ Lei sent assassins, which could only trigger the Yanzhou War, and firstly, drag down these rebels in the northeast. Wouldn't it be better for Yanzhou to be in the middle of a melee and not fall into the hands of a certain party, especially Murong Cheng?

Xu Jie's face changed constantly, and the people on both sides were also nervous. The guards and the lieutenants each drew their swords and faced each other, and there was a sound of hula and la outside the house, and it goes without saying that the sound of the armor rubbing against each other at that time. The guards of the Governor's Mansion finally got into action. It was fine, but now it will make everyone feel that Xu Jie is a thief.

"Well, I think it will be difficult for everyone to figure out about the assassination for a while. If this is not the case, all of us will send representatives, and we will work together to investigate, and we will definitely find out the assassination case and give everyone an explanation. How is it? After a while, Xu Jie, who had come to his senses under the reminder of the guards around him, said in a deep voice.

This time, even Ding Qiang didn't say much. Although he was proud, he also knew that this was really not the place for him to exert his power. So he snorted coldly and led people away. The messengers of the rest of the forces, each with gloomy faces, followed closely.

The huge hall suddenly emptied, and it seemed a little cold. Xu Jie sighed deeply, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, seeing that his long history was still sitting in the hall, that is, his staff Feng Ziming, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Feng Ziming, in this case, you see, what should I do?" ”

Feng Ziming shook his head and said softly: "The subordinates still don't know what's going on, so they don't dare to make a decision lightly." ”

"What? Are you still blaming me for hiding the arrival of this Stuart Emissary? Feng Ziming, you know, the less we know about this kind of thing, the better it is for us. Originally, the governor of Pontus wanted to sue you before this peace talks, but he didn't expect the assassination to break out. Xu Jie said in a muffled voice.

Feng Ziming sneered in his heart, but said on his lips: "The subordinates know the meaning of the governor, but the governor should also tell his subordinates." Otherwise, how could the current situation leave me speechless? ”

Xu Jie smiled bitterly: "Who knew that this matter would be discovered by the people of the Xiaoguo Army?" By the way, Feng Ziming, you go with the governor of Pontus to meet with another of the governor's staff, you can negotiate, how should we negotiate with Situ Lei? ”

…………

"So, now Xu Jie's is no longer at odds with everyone?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Wei Dong said with a smile: "Yes, according to what Lord Lin Menglong Lin said, today in the Governor's Mansion, Xu Jie was taken aback by Lord Lin's words. If it weren't for his surprise and gaffe, I'm afraid it wouldn't have ended up like this. Now, it is a foregone conclusion that the government army and other forces will not be in agreement. If it doesn't work out, the government army has become the weakest party in the Yanzhou situation. The Tang Army, the Xuzhou Army, the Wei Army, surrounded by wolves, this time, Xu Jieyou had a headache. In short, this assassination was just right. ”

Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "Just right?" No, the situation is a little better now, but the appearance of Situ Lei has made the situation a little bad! By the way, that Feng Ziming didn't know that Situ Lei's envoy had arrived? ”

Wei Dong nodded and said, "Judging from the expression on the scene, this Feng Ziming really doesn't know. Lord, do you want to fight his idea? ”

Zhao Xun said slowly: "This person has a lot of influence in the government army, if we can draw him to our side, things will be much easier." Hasn't this Feng Ziming been looking for a way out for the government army? Why isn't my Xiaoguo Army a good choice? By the way, we are now temporarily interrupting contact with the Department of Commerce, presumably, Xu Jie must be crazy to find the real murderer and clear his name. And all the forces are the targets of its surveillance. In addition, all the operatives are told that our people must wear the identity tokens of the Xuzhou Army and the Guards to operate. ”

"Lord, we only have the identity token of the Xuzhou Army. As for the guards, they never had any identity tokens. ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "It's okay, then carry the identity token of the Xuzhou Army, but when you are out of action, if there is a trace of the trace, you will report the identity of the guard." In Yanzhou City, the arrogance of the guards is well known. Coupled with what happened to Ding Qiang, the general of the guard army, in the Governor's Mansion at this moment, he will definitely make the guard even more crazy. Unless Xu Jie wants to fight to the death with the guards, or if he has some kind of agreement with Situ Lei's people. Otherwise, he would not dare to anger the guards again. Presumably, the current Xu Jie's tiger riding is also difficult. Wei Jun, Xuzhou Jun, and Tang Jun were all offended by him, but they hadn't started talking to Situ Lei's people yet. ”

Wei Dongdao: "Lord, if Xu Jie's people and Situ Lei's people talk about conditions now, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage?" ”

"Yes, he doesn't have a choice right now. Unless he figured out the origin of the assassin before he could negotiate peace with Tang Jun, otherwise, Tang Jun would definitely think that he was using him. Ding Qiang is not easy to deal with, and this Tang Xian is even more of a murderer. I think he dared to ignore Murong Cheng's order and forcibly act against our army. Now, if he knew that he had been tricked by Xu Jie, he would definitely launch a strong attack on Liangzhou Mansion. This time, Xu Jie is going to suffer. Zhao Xun said with a sneer.

"By the way, immediately find out the traces of Situ Lei's envoy, and if necessary, get rid of him. Keeping them will do a lot of harm. Zhao Xunyou said in a cold voice.

…………

Sure enough, Ding Qiang, who returned to the General's Mansion, was furious. thought that he was a dignified general of the guard, but he was suppressed by the governor of a place in front of the public. If it weren't for the fact that there were other people present, I might have lost my life. Thinking of this, Ding Qiang was full of anger. In addition, Situ Lei has also risen to this place with tentacles, and Ding Qiang, who regards Yanzhou as his bag, is absolutely not allowed.

Because he was worried that an accident would happen, Ding Qiang also unambiguously continued to investigate the case, took over the defense of the West Gate, and gathered the guards inside and outside the West Gate to prevent accidents. The officers of the Xuzhou Army, the Tang Army, and the Xiaoguo Army all agreed with Ding Qiang's handling opinions. They each have their own thoughts, in short, they all have a purpose. Xu Jie must not be allowed to control the four gates of Yanzhou City alone. And because the assassination incident was not cleared, coupled with the aggressiveness of the three armies, Xu Jie still backed down. Of course, Xu Jie's purpose was not to simply back down, the purpose of his retreat was to put pressure on Situ Lei's people. If you don't have the support on the surface, I'll make peace with them.

At the same time, a large-scale search was launched in the city, and even the Hero Building was also within the scope of the search. Zhao Xun was inquired three or four times in the past two or three days. Fortunately, Zhao Xun is a bright businessman in his hands, and there is no problem with his origin. But during these three days, hundreds of lawbreakers of all kinds were also found in the city. Some former fugitives, river and foreign thieves, and petty thieves have been arrested. If nothing else, that's all it is enough to make the people cheer.

"How many times has this been?" Looking at the soldiers who had just left, Zhao Xun couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"This is the seventh time, the second time today. It seems that this Xu Jiejie is also being forced to be tight, otherwise, there will be no back and forth inspections. It is said that some fugitives have just escaped the first round of searching, and before they can relax, they are caught in the second round. Wei Dong said with a smile.

Zhao Xun picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and said with a smile: "This is no different from the Strike Hard, well, for the people, this is a great thing!" It's good to keep them busy, at least they've been praised by the people, haven't they? ”

"By the way, there is any change in Liangzhou Mansion, no? How to say what happened in Yanzhou City three days ago, Tang Xian should have known about it a long time ago. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

"Not yet, I don't know what this Tang Xian thinks, so far, there has been no action against the government army of Liangzhou Mansion. However, the government army of Liangzhou Prefecture also began to strengthen the city defenses and increase patrols. ”

Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "It seems that this Tang Xian is not stupid, and he also knows that this assassin may really not be Xu Jie's government army." He was waiting, waiting for the peace talks between Xu Jie and Situ Lei. If it does, he will immediately move his army south. If it doesn't work, he will also force Xu Jie to negotiate peace with him, and at that time, he will have an advantageous position. By the way, how is the investigation of the case now? ”

Wei Dong said: "Nothing has been found, but it seems that the Xuzhou army has become the biggest target of suspicion, second only to Xu Jie." In fact, in the hearts of many people, the possibility of the Xuzhou Army is greater than that of Xu Jie. ”

"Oh? What's going on? Zhao Xun couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that since that day of the Governor's Mansion, all forces immediately united, and with the vigorous cooperation of Xu Jie, all Yanzhou City was mobilized and engaged in intense investigation work. First of all, the owners of the crossbow arrows left at the assassination scene, the guards and sergeants were found, of course, this is also related to the fact that the Xiaoguo Army did not deliberately destroy the corpses. Dozens of soldiers of the bow and crossbow battalion, including two team leaders, were assassinated and their bodies were thrown into the wilderness. The weapons and identification marks on their bodies were taken away, and in this way, the suspicion of the guards was washed away.

In addition to Xu Jie, there are two other suspected objects of assassination, one is the guard, and there are crossbow arrows as evidence. One is the Xuzhou Army, and there is an identity token marked with the flame mark of the Li family of the Xuzhou Army as evidence. Now, the suspicion of the Wei army is gone, and it is the turn of the Xuzhou army.

But what makes people feel incredible is that outside the city, in the wilderness of throwing corpses, among the slain guard soldiers, one of them also carried a small dagger with red peach blossoms in his hand. This small dagger is very small, that is, the length of an adult's palm. It's said to be a weapon, but it's more like an ornament. However, it was this ornament that made Li Fangzong's face gray. Without him, this red peach blossom is the commander of the Xuzhou Army, the mark of Li Chi's Li family, and it is well known. Under normal circumstances, except for the Xuzhou Army, the rest of the people will not wear this thing. You must know that if you carry things on your body, you will be caught as spies by people from other forces.

And what Li Fangzong does know is that this dagger is not only a status symbol, but also a weapon on the body of Li Chi's cronies, and this weapon is used for self-destruction. He was a little frightened now, and after the assassination, he had already sent someone to ask Xuzhou about it. Li Chi told him that he did not send another person into Yanzhou City, of course, Xu Jie was not a vegetarian, and he would not let a group of strangers who had killed the sky suddenly appear in Yanzhou City. Even the operational personnel of the Xiaoguo Army were started two years ago, and the various departments were deployed.
