Chapter 201: A Game of Chess in the East China Sea
Greetings and politeness, he has friends he wants to make, I have people I want to know, and the two of them make their own friends, and they go hand in hand. www.biquge.info It's just that after I separated from Hongshi, I always had a strange suspicion of Hongshi.
Donghai Building is not in Donghai City, at the beginning of the construction of Donghai Building, waterway ships were far less developed than today, until recent decades ship technology has been greatly developed, traders take waterway transportation, ships on Dalang Lake are like shuttles, and the economy is becoming more and more developed, which is the appearance of wharves and shops in Dalang Lake.
Donghai Building is built in this environment of rapid economic growth according to Dalang Lake, because of its thoughtful service, excellent cuisine, reputation, and making a lot of money, but also make Hongshi, a foreign businessman, famous, do not want the White Turban Army to kill, almost destroyed Donghai Tower.
Now, this Hongshi doesn't seem to care very much, I can't help but be curious about the power behind him, I remember that Lao Zao said that Hongshi is the same surname as the Gaoxi people from Lixi County, and the Gaoxi people are the famous families in Lixi County, and the Gaoxi people are the masters of the family from Lixi County.
In the evening, when the vigil reached about eleven o'clock, I was wandering around the Taishou Mansion in a very sleepy manner, but when I met Lao Bushen in the backyard, he pulled me aside and whispered, "Fire Spirit, come with me." ”
I didn't have time to ask what to do, Lao Bushen had already walked outside the courtyard first, I thought he had something to say in a secret place, there were many people in the Taishou Mansion, but I didn't expect him to go out of the Taishou Mansion all the way to the dark alley, and he didn't stop.
I lowered my voice behind me and said anxiously, "General Lao, where are you going?" ”
"It's so late, everyone is a little tired, I see you wandering around in the Taishou Mansion, anyway, there is nothing to do, go to my house for the time being." Lao Bushen stopped and said.
"That's not right, tonight is the last night of Taishou-sama, and everyone else is sitting all night." I say.
"Don't get in the way, just sit down and come back, as long as you don't delay tomorrow's funeral, I'll call my family to remind you." Lao Bushen waited for me and walked forward.
In the dark, the two walked side by side, but they didn't say a word, and they didn't meet the sergeant on the way, so they quietly came to the courtyard of Lao Bushen, and Lao Bushen's family had already slept, only the slaves guarded the gate and had not yet fallen asleep.
Lao Bushen called the door open, told the servants to prepare some food and snacks and tea, led me to the living room, the two of them agreed to sit down, he wanted to talk for a while, and finally said decisively: "Fire spirit, there is something I want to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?" Lao Bushen's heavy and worried look made me feel uneasy.
Lao Bushen immediately stood up again, looked outside, and said, "Taishou was not killed by bandits, but by regular sergeants. ”
"This ......" came out of Lao Bushen's mouth, but I was surprised, overwhelmed, and too surprised, "How does General Lao know the inside story?" ”
Lao Bushen explained: "Is there still one person who has not returned from the corpse brought back by General Lao Zao from Xiangjun. ”
Indeed, one person did not return, and I know that, according to my guess, it must be a bad luck and will not return.
Lao Bushen said resolutely: "He didn't die, he came back." ”
"Oh." I was shocked, I couldn't believe it.
"He had a great life, he fell from a cliff unharmed, sneaked all the way, and two days after General Lao Zao returned to Donghai City with the coffin, he also returned to Donghai City, and was the first to find me." He said without hurry.
Why did you look for him, I couldn't help but show suspicion.
Lao Bushen said: "He was a sergeant under me, and a year ago he was transferred to the Taishou Guard Banner as a captain, because things were too strange, he found me on the first day he returned to Donghai City, and told me about a shocking killing situation, Taishou Lord was not killed by bandits, but a regular sergeant. ”
I asked suspiciously, "Where is that sergeant now?" ”
Lao Bushen said: "I know that you don't believe it either, you must want to see him in person, he is now in my house." ”
After Lao Bushen finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to call the captain in, and after a while, the captain was led in, the captain was not short-lived in my opinion, the heavenly court was full, his expression was resolute, his body was strong and powerful, he was really a great warrior.
Lao Bushen said: "This is the fire spirit battalion leader of Donghai County, who is now famous and has made outstanding achievements, hurry up and meet him." ”
The captain knelt down on one knee without hesitation, clasped his fists and said sonorously: "Captain Lao San of the Taishou Guard Flag Team pays a visit to the leader of the Fire Spirit Battalion. ”
"No need to be polite," I said, "and tell me what happened to you that day. ”
Lao San adjusted his train of thought slightly, and said eloquently: "On that day, we traveled to Youxian County of Xiangjun, passing through a rugged mountain road and passing through a forest, and hundreds of arrows were shot from all sides of the forest for no reason, and we were caught off guard and suffered many casualties. ”
After a pause, Lao San then said: "When we organized to resist, hundreds of masked killers rushed out from all directions, although these people can't see their origin and origin from the appearance, but their tricks are exposed, every knife is fierce and steady, never fancy, and the tricks of fighting in the army are the same, so I conclude that these people must be sergeants in the army." ”
What Lao San said is so true that people can't refute it, I believe him, I also believe in Lao Bushen, I can't help but ask in surprise: "Who are these sergeants?" ”
"I don't know, I can't speculate." Lao San's answer was still very affirmative.
"The people of Xiangjun?" I'm asking about Lao Bushen.
He replied, "I invited you because of this problem, which is so serious that I can't even do it." ”
This is Lao Bushen's worry, what kind of person dares to attack the Taishou of a county? What kind of people have a deep hatred for Lao Wan? After working and dying in Xiangjun, Xiangjun is absolutely inseparable, why do you want to do this?
Lao Bushen said: "Lao Wan Taishou has no rivals, except for not dealing with Wolf Mountain County, he has no deep hatred with others, so the only murderer who thinks about it is Wolf Mountain County, but ......"
"This question is not simply a matter of deep hatred," I said in deep thought, "General Lao, who is most likely to benefit if Taishou dies?" ”
"The second son, the third lady, they colluded with outsiders." Lao Bu groaned and said.
Lao Bushen is still too small, otherwise why did he only get a thousand-year-old battalion leader for half his life, because of the conscription army, he became a general at the door, and the general position was not hot, and he lost his real power.
"The pattern is too small, but I'm afraid it's far more than that." I guess it's a deep meaning.
"What do you mean that this involves the division of greater interests, and the forces of the royal capital are making trouble." Lao Bushen was shocked, he hadn't thought about this possibility, however, Donghai County's struggle for power and profit was already chaotic enough, and coupled with the power of the royal capital, wouldn't it become more and more complicated, and Donghai County had become a game of chess for some people.
