Li Fangzong felt, no, he should believe that the assassination incident was really not done by Xu Jie, but by someone else. But no matter what he thinks, right now, he's the biggest target of everyone's suspicions.

Of course, Li Fangzong resolutely denied that the Xuzhou Army planned the assassination incident, and besides, it was impossible to assassinate so many forces at the same time, a few people, dozens of people. Will the government army allow hundreds of strangers to suddenly enter Yanzhou City? Besides, if it was really to take the crossbow arrows from the guards and blame the guards, how could they abandon the corpse here? Will there still be a handle left?

In short, Li Fangzong desperately led the possibility to the government army, and even to the Situ Lei envoy who was stationed in the government army camp and did not dare to show up until now. Didn't you say that you, as the governor of a place, did not dare to stop the people sent by the left minister? So, what if the killer he sent did?

Xu Jie was speechless for a while, at this moment, the suspicion on his body could not be washed away, and Xuzhou Jun was also suspicious. After Li Fangzong's pull, the suspicion on Situ Lei's envoy was even greater. Isn't there any suspicion that you arrived the day before the assassination broke out? In order to force the Tang Army to unite with you, it is not impossible to resort to assassination?

At this point, finding the murderer has become very complicated, and the Wei Jun is basically a little less suspicious, but it does not rule out the suspicion of bitter meat schemes. The Xuzhou Army is also very suspicious, but the Tang Army and the Xiaoguo Army are both standing behind the Xuzhou Army. There is no way, there are no soldiers and horses on all three sides, and they are at a disadvantage. And Tang Jun was played by Xu Jie. Naturally, he also had to stand behind Li Fangzong and strike a strong blow to Xu Jie and Situ Lei's people. even forced Xu Jie to investigate Situ Lei's envoy. Will Xu Jie? What did he do?

Xu Jie won't, and he doesn't dare. Just turned his face with the Wu Wei Army, He Tang Army and Xuzhou Army fell out, if Situ Lei's people were provoked again, hum, the result would be that Xu Jie had become a loner. He, Xu Jie, didn't think that he could withstand the all-round suppression of the Wu Wei Army, Situ Lei, the Tang Army, and the Xuzhou Army.

As a result, the case began to get stuck. Although everyone worked together to handle the case, in fact, except for the Xiaoguo Army, the rest of the armies were all acting quietly. The Wuwei Army in the southeast began to slowly assemble, and the Tang Army in the north and the Xuzhou Army in the east also began to stir. Xu Jie was suddenly anxious. If it's really bad, he's completely finished.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have contacted Situ Lei in the first place, and he was not weak enough to negotiate peace with Tang Jun and join forces. If that happens, the situation will become Tang Army and Fu Army against Wuwei Army and Xuzhou Army. That situation is better than the current one! Xu Jie, who had a bitter face, thought secretly.

It can only be said that the appearance of Situ Lei's envoy is a little unacceptable to everyone. So far, the assassination is no longer the most important thing, and it is the most important thing to find out the plot between the Yanzhou government army and Situ Lei. Originally, a few people got something, but now there is an outsider, and they are naturally reluctant to share it with them.

Xu Jie was annoyed by the aggressiveness of the forces of all parties, and was busy negotiating with Situ Wen, the person sent by Situ Lei, about related matters, how could he pay attention to these people, so he asked Changshi Fengziming to deal with the questioning of these people and the investigation of the case.

…………

Feng Ziming was not ambiguous, while continuing to strictly investigate, he sent additional manpower to guard the places where the envoys of the Tang Army, the Xuzhou Army, and the Xiaoguo Army were stationed, and there were soldiers guarding them when they entered and exited. Of course, you can also do not, but if there is another accident, it has nothing to do with us. At the same time, Feng Ziming went to the representative of the forces of one side and divided and collapsed. Among them, it is to divide the Xuzhou Army, the Tang Army and the Wei Army. Speaking of which, the Tang Army, the Xuzhou Army and the Wei Army are now on the united front, but they are definitely not allies.

The Tang Army, the predecessor of the Wei Army, that is, the predecessor of the current Ding Qiang's Wu Guard, a court guard, a rebellious guard, how could they come together? Not to mention, there was a big war before. The Xuzhou army hated the army under Murong Cheng more than the Tang army. The southern part of Xuzhou has always been attacked by the army of King Qi. Not to mention, Li Chicai's newly built sailor division was wiped out by the Yangzhou navy, and between the two, the feud was as deep as the sea.

After Feng Ziming's powerful pros and cons, Li Fangzong and Ling He slowly became out of sync with the Wei army. Also, Situ Leilai and Murong Cheng are competing for Yanzhou, so there will inevitably be a big dispute. What Li Fangzong wants is for the Yanzhou side to admit that he occupies a place and is not attacking. He naturally hoped to see the Wu Wei Army and Situ Lei's forces fight, then whether it was in the Yanzhou part of the west or the land of Xu Yang in the south, the pressure would be greatly reduced.

Ling He was different from Li Fangzong, his original purpose was to unite with Xu Jie, and attack the Xuzhou army or the Wei army. What the Tang army lacks now is territory, but it has a small population, and it lacks room for maneuver in its own army. Now that he has been tricked by Xu Jie, how can Ling He not be annoyed? But if Xu Jie falls to Situ Lei, and the Haowu Guards fight in Yanzhou, then the Tang Army can also take advantage of the fire to loot and seek what they want. As a result, the Tang Army slowly became out of touch with the Wuwei Army.

After Ding Qiang knew this, he could only scold in the house, but he couldn't change anything. After all, everyone is their own master, and they are all hostile forces, and interests come first. But Ding Qiang also secretly increased the mobilization of the armed guards of the three prefectures of Yanzhou, and at the same time sent the situation here to Yongzhou to inform Murong Cheng. When necessary, let the Shence army in Yuzhou help. No matter how big the face is, it can't be compared with this kind of big thing, Ding Qiang still knows this.

In the end, Feng Ziming decided to go to the mansion of Lin Menglong, an official of the Commercial Department of the Xiaoguo Army stationed in Yanzhou City. Speaking of which. For Lin Menglong, he is not very strange. Although he did not have a deep friendship with Lin Menglong, the officials of the Commercial Department of the Xiaoguo Army were stationed in Yanzhou City and greeted Xu Jie. Because they agreed not to interfere in any Yanzhou affairs, they can be regarded as ordinary people. Xu Jiecai agreed to let them enter Yanzhou City and be responsible for the transit of salt in the north.

Lin Menglong's impression of Feng Ziming is that he is down-to-earth and capable. Of course, this is the information that was collected after the spies below, and Feng Ziming felt it from it. But it was this down-to-earth and capable guy who suddenly made the originally unstable situation in Yanzhou completely lively.

Xu Jie greeted and contacted Situ Lei's people and welcomed them into his military camp, even he didn't know, why did Lin Menglong know? Feng Ziming didn't trust an official of the Department of Commerce, and he could even get this information. If it is really as Lin Menglong said, it will be obtained from the mouth of the merchant at the time. That Xu Jie's is too inferior, is it possible? Even if Xu Jie's mistakes go wrong, but Situ Wen and they won't, Feng Ziming has seen Situ Wen, he is definitely a treacherous person, and it is not easy to grasp his whereabouts casually. Not to mention ordinary businessmen.

In Lin Menglong's mansion, Zhao Xun was talking to Lin Menglong in the mansion at the moment, asking about the sale of salt here in Yanzhou. In April, the land of Yanzhou is already full of green leaves. The weather is also starting to get warmer, unlike in the north, which is still colder.

Lin Menglong is an official of the Xiaoguo Army, and although Xu Jie doesn't pay much attention to it, he doesn't dare to underestimate it. Lin Menglong's mansion was still given by Xu Jie. The whole mansion covers a very wide area and the view is very good. Even Zhao Xun, who entered the house, couldn't help but sigh, here, it is more suitable for people to live than in the north.

The back garden of the mansion is a large garden. In one of the places against the wall, there is a small building, standing on the upper floor, I can't see the scene on the street outside the mansion. It gives people a sense of standing high and looking far away, and feeling comfortable.

"This place is good, standing here, climbing high and looking into the distance, there is a special taste!" Zhao Xun looked at the busy street in the distance and said with a smile.

Lin Menglong said with a smile: "It is said that this mansion and the three mansions outside the Zhou were originally one, and they were the mansions of a local magistrate three generations ago. Later, when the case was discovered, this mansion was too conspicuous for anyone to dare to take over. In the end, it was divided into four. ”

"Lord, Lord Lin, Shi Fengziming, the governor of Yanzhou, has arrived!"

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "It's finally here, calculate the time, it's time to come." Tang Jun and Xuzhou Jun were persuaded by him, this wind is not simple. ”

Lin Menglong said: "This Feng Ziming is really powerful, and he knows how to be an official, in Yanzhou, the impact is not small." However, as far as the subordinates know. This Feng Ziming has been suppressed by Xu Jie in the past two years, especially since last year. After all, Xu Jie didn't want to see that he had a subordinate who was too prestigious. This time, Feng Ziming didn't know about the arrival of Situ Lei's envoy. ”

Zhao inquired: "I hope there is something to gain!" ”

Feng Ziming came to Lin Menglong's mansion without bringing anyone else, some guards and attendants, and also stayed outside the mansion. was led to the back garden by Lin Menglong's housekeeper, and he did not feel unhappy because Lin Menglong did not come out to greet him. When he arrived in the back garden, Feng Ziming found that in addition to Lin Menglong, who he wanted to see, there was another young man here. Both of them were on top of a small high-rise building, watching the scenery in the distance.

"Lord Feng is coming to the door, and I have never been far away to greet him, and I ask Lord Feng to forgive me!" After seeing Feng Ziming, Lin Menglong greeted him with a smile.

Feng Ziming secretly pursed his mouth, and he never greeted him from afar? You don't mean to greet at all. But he didn't take it to heart, and of course, it didn't work to take it to heart.

"Don't dare! It was suddenly under the next that disturbed Lord Lin! Who is this? Feng Ziming said with a smile.

Lin Menglong stroked his palms and said: "This is the supervision envoy sent from above to investigate the salt trade in Yanzhou City, Li Feng, Master Li!" ”

"Lord Feng is polite!" Zhao Xun clasped his fists and said lightly.

After Feng Ziming returned the salute, he said with a surprised tone: "Lord Lin, when did you send you on a business trip, why didn't you know that it would be a sound?" Let's be prepared! ”

Lin Menglong smiled: "How dare you bother Lord Feng!" Alas...... Speaking of which, this is also because of the Assassins, who knows if there will be other Assassins? Until now, the Assassins had not been caught. If there is an assassination, I can't afford it. It's better to be careful, hello to me, hello to everyone! ”

Zhao Xun didn't look at it, slowly picked up the teacup, tasted the good tea in the south, and quietly looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, as if the two people around him did not have zài.

In Feng Ziming's opinion, this young man named Li Feng is by no means a simple person. Simply sitting there puts an inexplicable pressure on yourself. What does it feel like, as if it were ...... It is the feeling when Xu Jie's people gather to discuss things. Between the gestures, they are all in the atmosphere. Feng Ziming vaguely said that this young man named Li Feng was definitely a high-ranking official, or rather, a figure who often gave orders.

Suddenly, Feng Ziming felt that the Yanzhou Mansion Army was so bad that there was such a person who appeared in Lin Menglong's mansion, but he never got the following reward. No wonder the Assassins were able to appear hundreds of people at once, flash through the city, and disappear without a trace. Even this bright big living person can't even notice it, let alone those assassins who are stealth.

"By the way, Lord Feng, aren't you investigating the assassination? Why do you have the kung fu to come to me today? Lin Menglong asked with a smile.

Feng Ziming secretly said in his heart, it's not because of you that you broke the arrival of Situ Lei's envoy at once, otherwise, how could I go back and forth and talk hard. But he said with a smile: "Lord Lin, speaking of which, I have to talk about you." If you hadn't told you about the arrival of Situ Lei's envoy in one fell swoop that day, you wouldn't have caused contradictions on all sides now. I wanted to intersect with swords, and I took a lot of time to silence everyone. Now, they don't care who the assassins are. ”

"Really? In this case, isn't it true that the people of my Xiaoguo army have been assassinated in vain? Lin Menglong frowned and said.

Feng Ziming smiled: "No, how could it be!" The assassination case still needs to be investigated, but now that they are all focused on other places, this case needs to be carried out slowly. Speaking of which, there is no trace of these hundreds of assassins so far, and the official is helpless! Speaking of which, Lord Lin is really a good skill, even me, the things that all the forces did not know about were actually found out by Lord Lin. ”

Lin Menglong put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "In this way, Lord Feng means that my subordinate has been assassinated, and I still have to pretend that nothing happened?" Whether you negotiate peace, or go to war, our Xiaoguo army is not in the mood to interfere, and I don't want to interfere. But I don't want my people to be involved in you. ”

"No, no, no! That was not what I meant! I mean, since Lord Lin can find out about the arrival of Situ Lei's envoy, it shouldn't be a problem to help me find out about the assassins. Besides, your ministry is also a victim, and I want to find out who the assassin is as soon as possible. Feng Ziming laughed.

Zhao Xun said, "Oh? Could it be that in Yanzhou City, my Xiaoguo Army has so much power that it can handle cases on behalf of the Yanzhou City Government? Lord Feng, this is your business and your responsibility, and I, Xiaoguo Army, have no right to interfere, and I don't want to interfere. Who were the Assassins? I don't want to know. If they can attack all the forces at the same time, then, if our Xiaoguo army really goes to investigate, it will have to bear great consequences. ”

Without waiting for Feng Ziming to speak, Zhao Xun continued: "Lord Feng, as the governor of the Governor's Mansion, can't find out anything, we are just officials in charge of commerce and trade here, how can we find out anything?" One has no manpower, the other has no real power, but there is nothing to do. ”

Inspection? If something is really found, let alone the assassins, even the Xiaoguo Army, they can't get out. Come to think of it, tens of thousands of people in the city couldn't find anything after checking for days, but they found out what was going on themselves. No one can accept that there is such a capable external force around him.

Feng Ziming raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Governor Shi? What does that mean? Even you know about the arrival of the messenger of Situ Lei, but I have no idea. Doesn't that tell? ”

Zhao Xun put down the teacup and said with a smile: "What doesn't this mean?" It was also an accident. I heard that Lord Feng has recently traveled between various forces and has settled the pressure caused by the assassination incident, doesn't this explain the problem? The assassination incident is already in the hands of Lord Feng, so it's not a problem, is it? ”

Feng Ziming's face turned straight and said, "Even so, your side and the rest of the forces still need an answer, don't they?" ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "Answer? Is it really needed? By the way, Lord Feng has already persuaded the Tang Army and the Xuzhou Army, and my Xiaoguo Army does not interfere in your Yanzhou internal affairs, so Lord Feng finally came to us to find out. ”

Feng Ziming frowned slightly, this Li Feng is not easy to deal with. smiled faintly and said in a deep voice: "Lord Li, do you really not interfere in our Yanzhou situation?" ”

Zhao Xun looked at Feng Ziming and said with a smile: "What does Lord Feng mean by this?" ”

Feng Ziming raised his head to look at the scenery in the distance, pointed to the busy people, and said, "With the big war, the one here will not be so beautiful." The land of Yanzhou will also change. Is the Xiaoguo Army really not interesting to the land of Yanzhou at all? Master Li dares to say that you are not interested in this place? ”

Zhao Xun tapped his finger on the table and said, "Whether the big war starts or not, this has nothing to do with whether my Xiaoguo army is tempted here, but has something to do with your Yanzhou army." Lord Wind, you're the most important part right now, aren't you? Whether it is us, Tang Jun, or Xuzhou Jun, they are all bystanders. And the government army and the guard army are the two most important people here. Lord Feng, if you really want to keep the scenery in your field of vision, let your family governor put himself in the right position. It is better to rely on others than on yourself. ”

Feng Ziming paused slightly, sighed secretly, and said, "Having said that, the Xiaoguo Army is the cause of the storm!" If it weren't for Lord Lin pointing out the matter of Situ Lei's envoy, how could the situation be like this? ”

Zhao Xun sneered: "Lord Feng, when these words came out of your mouth, I was a little disappointed. How? Do you think Situ Lei can send a large army east into Yanzhou? Can he? No! You can't send a large army to come, you want to turn against the government army, who do you rely on? By one of Stuart's mouths? No, it's still the strength of your army. At that time, there will be the Tang Army in the north, the Xuzhou Army in the west, the Wuwei Army in the east, and the Needless to say in the south, Yuzhou is the Shence Army of the King of Qi. There are enemy troops on all sides, and your army is a turtle in an urn, and it is doomed! Lord Wind, you should thank us, not accuse here. No, it should be your governors who should thank us. ”
