Chapter 375: Jia Xu's Guess
"Zilian, isn't it shameful enough, shut up!" Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong and suddenly snorted coldly.
"No!"
Hearing this, Cao Hong was intimidated by Cao Cao's majesty, took a deep breath, and calmed down, but his eyes were still bulging and looking at Jia Xu.
He never believed that Xu Lei was Jinyiwei from the beginning, if that was the case, Jinyiwei would probably be a little too terrifying.
"Xu Lei is Jinyiwei, it has been confirmed."
Xi Zhicai looked at Jia Xu and asked, "But Wenhe, why do you think that he has been Jinyiwei from the beginning, and not rebelled by Jinyiwei's people over the years?" ”
Cao Cao's eyes also looked at Jia Xu, and said loudly: "Wenhe, you continued, I want to know in my heart, what is this Xu Lei all about?" ”
Xu Lei's betrayal made Cao Cao's heart feel a little chilly.
When this person was in Luoyang, he personally interrogated him, and he had a lot of good feelings for him, and then personally ruled out his suspicions, if it wasn't for Jia Xu to provide solid evidence, he couldn't believe that Xu Lei was actually Jinyiwei.
Liu Xie's death, he can be regarded as understanding what is going on.
"King, please see, this is a token dug out of the backyard of Chen Xu Lei's residence!"
Jia Xu's face was calm, his expression was calm, and he took out a token directly from his long sleeves, and the front of this token was engraved with the words Jinyiwei, and the back of the token was a name...... Xu Lei.
This is Xu Lei's token.
Xu Lei knew that he was exposed and destroyed everything, but in the end he was reluctant to destroy this token representing his identity, so he buried it in a place in the backyard. But I didn't expect to be found out by Jia Xu.
"It's ...... Jinyiwei token? ”
Cao Cao took it and looked at it carefully, but he didn't feel anything strange, and asked suspiciously: "Zhicai, take a look." Is there anything strange about this? ”
"My lord, it's a little strange indeed!"
Xi Zhicai gently took the token, glanced at it, and then said softly: "We have also caught a lot of Jinyiwei's spies, and we have also seized some of these Jinyiwei's tokens." But generally there is no name on it, there is only a symbol of weight, and this one has a name on it. ”
"What's the difference?" Cao Hong was bored for a long time, and then asked.
"The meaning is different!" Xi Zhicai squinted. said: "This Xu Lei should have a unique identity in Jinyiwei!" ”
"Yes!"
When Jia Xu heard this, he directly nodded in agreement with the suspicion of Xi Zhicai, and then analyzed: "The token of the king, a certain person has studied it with a master, and its casting time should be more than five years. ”
"Five years? In this way, Xu Lei should have been a Jinyi guard before he entered Zilian's command! ”
"How is this possible?" Cao Hong was dumbfounded, his face like ashes.
Cao Cao couldn't help but gasp. But he thought of something, and quickly shook his head and said, "But this is not quite right." The history of Jinyiwei, we all know very well that in the second year of Chuping, Sun Quan was established in person, and at that time, his hand could be stretched so long at that time? ”
"The King. Originally, I wondered about this, but take a look at this. Maybe you get the idea! ”
Jia Xu's eyes flashed a trace of essence, and he handed a copy of the copy to Cao Cao. Said softly: "This is a record mentioned by the ghost pawn when he collected Sun Quan's detailed information!" ”
Sun Quan probably wouldn't have thought that some things were actually connected by Jia Xu and came to a truth.
"Deserters?"
Cao Cao directly spread out the file, looked at it, but had some doubts in his heart, and shouted.
This is about a period of Jiangdong desertion, and it doesn't take a tie at all!
"The king, in the past, the eighteen princes gathered sour dates, and finally broke up unhappily, after Sun Jian retired from Luoyang, he once stayed at Bishui Pass, and a group of deserters actually appeared!"
Jia Xu began to deduce in detail, and said analytically: "Sun Jian, the king should understand, he is a Jiangdong tiger, and he is rigorous in governing the army, and he is by no means an ordinary person, if he is in a chaotic war, in the face of life and death, there are a few deserters, but it is said that it is in the past, but it is clear that he has withdrawn and is about to return to Jiangdong, and there will be deserters in his formation, which is unreasonable!" ”
"Wenhe, what you mean is that this group is not actually deserters, they are the first batch...... Jin Yiwei. ”
Xi Zhicai's brain turned rapidly, and his complexion changed drastically, a little hard to believe.
He was a little shocked in his heart, if this was really the case, then Sun Zhongmou was a little too terrifying.
But he was only ten years old.
"That's right!"
Jia Xu squinted, his eyes burst with a shining light, and he said firmly: "The world may think that the Jinyiwei department was established after Sun Quan returned to Jiangdong, but he thinks that he may have anticipated the chaotic war of the princes in the future as early as when Sun Jian withdrew his troops, and I am afraid that the Jinyiwei has been established early in the morning, and the shadows buried around us." ”
"What a terrible Sun Zhongmou!"
Jia Xu's speculation made Cao Cao a little dumbfounded.
He was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, sighed, and said: "If it is someone else, Lone does not want to believe such a thing, but if this person Sun Zhongmou, Lone does not doubt it, Lone has carefully studied this person, although this person is not very old, but the far-sighted nature is very within the reach of people, and the layout in advance can also be said in the past." ”
"The King." Jia Xu's face began to become solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid we will be in trouble, that is to say, our Wei State still hides a group of relatively high-level Jinyi Wei spies." ”
"Check!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he was horrified in his heart, and a cold killing intent burst out of his eyes, and said: "Wenhe, Gu gives you the greatest authority, give Gu to check, check to the end!" ”
"The king is calm, this matter must not be made of great fanfare!"
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he hurriedly stood up and objected: "Once it spreads, it will make the people of Wei panic." ”
"Is it up to them?"
Cao Cao felt a little chill in his heart when he thought that he didn't know when so many brocade-clothed spies were buried around him.
"Naturally not!"
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "But this matter can only be investigated secretly." Can't check it openly! ”
"Your Majesty, what Lord Taiwei said is very true, if you make a big fanfare, not only will you not be able to find anyone, but I am afraid that you will also startle the snake. Let them have precautions! ”
Jia Xu said firmly: "Don't worry, the king will definitely find them out." ”
"Damn Sun Zhongmou!"
Cao Cao also knew in his heart that this matter could not be made a big fuss, and in desperation, he could only call out Sun Quan's name with hatred.
"Wenhe, let you be responsible for this matter."
Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao has withdrawn from the ghost pawn, and the ghost pawn will be in the future." I'm tired of you! ”
"No!"
Jia Xu's face was calm, but he was slightly happy in his heart, Cao Cao's words were equivalent to the decision-making level of the Wei State that he entered, the real henchman.
"Wang, what should Xu Lei's wife and children do?" Jia Xu asked suddenly.
"Kill!"
Cao Cao's heart was full of murderous intent. said coldly: "The wife and children of the traitor, what's the use of keeping them!" ”
Killing, he Cao Cao is not ambiguous.
"The king, the minister thinks, can use them to lure out some people!"
Jia Xu was silent for a moment, and said: "This time the arrest of Xu Lei was a bit hasty, and Xu Lei's suicide made a certain plan fall short. But if we follow a certain understanding of Li Ru, there must be actions behind this person, and now we can use the bait. It's Xu Lei's wife and children! ”
"Will Li Ru take risks for the sake of Xu Lei's wife and children?"
Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
"Li Ru naturally won't!"
Jia Xu hurriedly shook his head, but he added at the end, "But I think Sun Quan will, so Li Ru probably has no choice, and he even doubts." The Wei State where he has arrived is now in Xudu. ”
"What?"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
"Wen He. Are you sure you can catch him? Xi Zhicai asked.
"It's hard!"
Jia Xu groaned and shook his head. said with a wry smile: "Since Li Ru is here, he has a certain degree of certainty to get out, I know him, and he naturally understands me, but I want to try it, can I catch him!" ”
"Then give it a try!"
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said coldly: "This person is too dangerous, if he can't become a person from the Wei State, he must be removed." ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Jinling, Donghou Mansion.
On this day, the weather was even colder, and it actually snowed on a large scale, and the temperature was estimated to be below freezing.
Sun Quan was originally nested in Cai Yan's beauty's arms, but he was removed from the warm quilt early in the morning, and he was very unhappy.
"Prime Minister Zhang, what do you mean?"
In the lobby, Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao with two black panda eyes, showing a very dissatisfied attitude, and said coldly: "Can't you let me live a good life, I am still on vacation, and you come to the door early in the morning, this is called disturbing people's dreams, you know." ”
"Huh!"
Zhang Zhao has a good temper, and he doesn't care about the man who wants to be dissatisfied, so he smiled and said: "Junhou, I don't want to disturb Junhou, but now there is a problem in the court, I'm afraid only Junhou can solve it, so I have to be cheeky to disturb Junhou." ”
Several of them have already decided to let Sun Quan come forward and borrow money from the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.
This matter is not difficult, originally as long as Sun Jian can handle it with a holy decree, it is that Sun Jian feels that he can't get over his face.
Sun Quan's face was bigger than him, which made him very unhappy, and he was even more unhappy when he ordered Sun Quan to borrow money.
Therefore, this task finally fell on Zhang Zhao, the prime minister.
No, Zhang Zhao came to Donghou Mansion early in the morning.
"The affairs of the court, by the way, something that you court giants can't handle?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he became angry and said, "If you actually come to me, can I handle it?" ”
"Junhou, I'm afraid only Junhou can handle this matter!"
Zhang Zhao was very confident and said.
"You really have faith in so-and-so, say it!"
Sun Quan really didn't know whether to be happy or helpless, and said, "After that, I'll continue to sleep!" ”
Last night, he got a good benefit, holding two delicate daughters-in-law, fighting for three hundred rounds, and now his body is a little weak, and he wants to make up for sleep.
"Junhou, the court has no money!"
Zhang Zhao's eyes moved slightly, he came up, and said in a low voice: "In the battle against the Lu State, we can't move the soldiers' pensions now, and we can't send them!" ”
"What?"
When Sun Quan heard this, the sleepiness in his mind suddenly woke up, his eyes widened, and there was a chilling light emanating from his turquoise pupils: "How can this be, Jiangdong is rich, Wu is the richest vassal state in the world, such a big Wu country, you can't even pay the soldiers' pensions?" ”
You must know that more than half of the soldiers killed in this battle were sacrificed because of his battle with Cao Cao.
He always had a touch of guilt in his heart about these soldiers who died in battle, and now he actually said that the pension could not be paid?
Sun Quan broke out directly.
"Prince!"
Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan's angry appearance, sighed, and said: "Our Wu State's expenditure this year is too large, resulting in a financial deficit, before the conquest of Lu, has embezzled a part of next year's tax, this war casualties are too large, sacrificed, disabled, need a lot, we can't take out this money for a while, but if before the New Year, we can't let this money exchanged for the lives of the soldiers go down, we are sorry for the people!" ”
Wu is rich, and there is no shortage of food resources, but there is a lack of how to collect money from the people.
Nowadays, the tax law of Wu is obviously a little chaotic, and the handover of the county guards and the court of all parties is also a little chaotic, so it has been difficult to support the entire court with only the taxes stripped off layer by layer.
"Then you came to me because you wanted me to pay this money!"
Sun Quan was also a little annoyed in his heart at this moment, he didn't expect that there would be such a big problem in Wu Guo's finances.
But now even if he is unhappy, he has to hide it, this is about the life money of the soldiers of Wu State, there must be no negligence, the court can't get out, he will come out, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he has to make it up, before the New Year, they must send it down.
"Can the prince come up with this money?"
When Zhang Zhao heard Sun Quan's tone, he was slightly startled and a little surprised.
"How much?" Sun Quan asked.
"It's about a billion dollars!"
"That's a lot of money!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he quickly calculated his assets in his mind, and then said: "If the Donghou Mansion gets together and sells most of the property, it still has the ability to come up with this money, you want me for a few days!" ”
"Prince...... This one...... In fact, what we mean is that we hope that you will come as a guarantee and lend this amount of money to the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce in the name of the court, rather than letting the Donghou Mansion pay for the court. ”
Zhang Zhao was obviously frightened by Sun Quan, the wealth of Donghou Mansion may have greatly exceeded his expectations, it is really rich and rivals the country, but he still said what the court and Sun Jian meant.
"Borrow?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and a flash of inspiration suddenly moved in his mind, and he suddenly wanted to grasp something.
"Junhou, I think the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce has a lot of money, and it should be able to lend this money in the shortest possible time!"
Zhang Zhao said softly: "Of course, our court will naturally not only borrow and not repay, but we must forgive you on the time to repay the money!" ”
"Prime Minister, I think it's inappropriate!"
Sun Quan's eyes flashed with a sparkling light, and said, "I borrowed it this time, what about next time?" The Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce has never been an ATM for the court, once or twice, it's okay, I promise they will borrow it, but three or four times, will they still choose to believe in the court? ”
"This ...... So what do you say? ”
Zhang Zhao asked helplessly.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I have an idea in my heart, you let me solve the financial matter, you give me a day, and after a day, I will personally report this matter to the king!"
At this moment, Sun Quan already has a little attention in his heart, but he still needs to improve it. (To be continued)
