On the morning of the same day, the three black-clothed warriors were identified as the main murderers and were sent to the Chang'an Mansion by the people in the Chu Wang's Mansion for punishment, but they were not sent alive, but three corpses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the steps outside the palace, the housekeeper of the Chu Wang's Mansion pointed to the three corpses on the stretcher and said coldly: "These three people are murderers, they have committed suicide in fear of crime, one life is worth one life, as for the compensation shop and the apology, we will discuss and resolve it privately with the Huang family, His Royal Highness the King of Chu hopes that this case will be over." ”

Qu Tugai looked at the three corpses on the stretcher with a gloomy face, although these three people were dressed as black-clothed warriors, but they were all skinny and skinny, obviously using death row prisoners in the prison to impersonate, Qu Tugai gritted his teeth and asked: "At that time, there was also a white-clothed scribe at the scene, and the warrior at the scene called him Mr. Luo, this person is the main culprit who commanded the samurai to kill, why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu protect him?" ”

"I don't understand what Qutu Mansion Jun is talking about, there is no white-clothed scribe surnamed Luo in our mansion, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu often wears white robes, if Qutu Mansion Jun is hinting that our Royal Highness the King of Chu is a murderer, then go and complain to the Son of Heaven, let the Criminal Department arrest His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and we will accompany him to the end!"

After speaking, the butler waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

More than a dozen cavalry warriors turned over their horses together, turned their horses' heads and roared away, leaving behind three black-clothed corpses with no name, no surname and no identity.

"Fujun, what should we do?" Fu Cheng asked in a low voice on the side.

Qu Tugai snorted heavily and said: "This case is not gone away for the time being, send someone to inquire who the white-clothed scribe surnamed Luo is, I must arrest him!" ”

.........

In the palace of the king of Chu, the housekeeper reported to Li Yuanji the details of how he sent three corpses to the palace, when it was said that Qu Tugai wanted to track down the white-clothed scribe surnamed Luo, Li Yuanji's face became iron-blue, and he slowly clenched his fists, Qu Tugai not only did not give himself face, he sued himself in front of his father, but also gave him a shameless face, he must fight against himself to the end, very good, he wants to see who cried to the end.

Li Yuanji glanced back at Luo Yumin, and saw that Luo Yumin's face was a little pale, so he comforted: "Sir, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly, and I will never let Mr. be wronged in the slightest." ”

Luo Yumin said hatefully: "Qu Tugai knew that it was His Highness's order, but he insisted on finding trouble for his humble position, it was obviously aimed at His Highness, this person was bold and reckless, he could do what he said, if we don't bring him down as soon as possible, I don't know what else he will do that is detrimental to His Highness's reputation." ”

"What is the gentleman's opinion?"

"It is recommended that the lowly post immediately send the supervisor from all sides to the Fenglou to rush to Jiangxia to find Qu Tutong's handle and create conditions for sending the prison army, and the lowly post also went together, firstly, to give advice to the supervisor, and secondly, to temporarily avoid Qu Tugai's search, I don't know what His Highness thinks?"

When Li Yuanji first took over the power of supervising the army, he wanted to send a supervising army to Qu Tutong's army in Jingbei, but his brother Li Shimin resolutely opposed it and guaranteed that Qu Tutong would not do anything beyond the rules.

This incident has always made Li Yuanji angry, and now with the hatred of Qu Tugai, Li Yuanji is no longer as simple as wanting to send a prison army, but is determined to bring down the Qu Tu brothers and avenge the humiliation of Qu Tugai this time.

Li Yuanji nodded, took out his gold medal and handed it to Luo Yumin, "You are solely responsible for all supervision matters!" ”

"Humility will never disappoint His Highness!"

Luo Yumin took the gold medal, went back to his room to pack his belongings, he wrote a note, hid it in the wax pill, found his henchman and handed the wax pill to him: "Go to Qingyun Wine Store quickly, hand over this wax pill to the shopkeeper, be careful not to let people see it." ”

The henchman took the wax pill and hurried away, and Luo Yumin left the Chu Palace's mansion in a carriage with two of his subordinates and the supervisor, and headed towards Xiangyang under the escort of more than a dozen cavalry warriors.

At the beginning of the new year, the debriefing reports of the county taishou have been delivered to the central capital one after another, and the various ministries and temple supervisors and Ziwei Pavilion in the central capital have begun to get busy, the debriefing report is not as simple as a scroll, and the detailed report of each Cao under the Taishou, people's livelihood, government affairs, public security, agriculture, education and other affairs need to be reported, and the imperial history of the central capital and the wind patrol envoy will also send people to the counties to secretly check the situation.

This is a major event faced by the imperial court in the middle of each year, and as the supreme authority, Jang Hyun must also review the reports of the county taishou in order to grasp the important movements of each county in a timely manner.

However, Zhang Xuan was more concerned about the situation of the preparations for war, and the preparations for this war actually began last year, and they have been going on in secret, including material transportation, military food hoarding, and troop transfers, all of which were carried out in secret, and the transfers were carried out under various pretexts, and after several months of preparations, the war preparations have been gradually completed.

But the time to go on the expedition has not yet come, and Zhang Xuan is still waiting for news from Chang'an.

At this time, Fang Xuanling appeared at the door and said with a smile: "Your Highness, there is news from Chang'an." ”

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Commander, please come in!" ”

Fang Xuanling walked into the room quickly and handed a quick letter to Zhang Xuan, "This is the information just sent by the Chang'an Intelligence Agency, please take a look at it!" ”

Zhang Xuan took the quick letter, read it hurriedly, pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this Luo Yumin reliable?" ”

"Absolutely reliable, his wife and children currently live in Anyang County, and they were the internal response we wooed last year."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Since Li Yuanji has already sent someone to Xiangyang, then we should cooperate with him in Xiangyang." ”

"Wechen understands that the arrangements have been made in Xiangyang, and Wechen believes that the people sent by Li Yuanji will not go in vain."

At this time, Fang Xuanling suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is news from Qichun County that Du Fuwei and more than 100 of his subordinates have appeared among the miners. ”

There is a medium-sized copper mine in Qichun County, with thousands of miners, and the county government is responsible for managing it, this news made Zhang Xuan stunned, how could Du Fuwei be in Qichun County?

As early as a few years ago, Fang Xuanling was in charge, and the Northern Sui army planted a large number of eyes and ears in the mines all over the Jianghuai, just to deal with the return of Du Fuwei one day, Du Fuwei's only role for the Tang Dynasty was to disturb the Jianghuai and pave the way for the Tang Dynasty's eastward attack.

Zhang Xuan originally thought that Du Fuwei would cause an incident in the iron mine in Liyang County, but he didn't expect Du Fuwei to go to Qichun County.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Weichen also thinks that it must have something to do with Zheng Shanguo, and with Zheng Shanguo's secret support, Du Fuwei is easier to succeed." ”

Zhang Xuan took a few steps with his hands in his hands and sneered: "The Tang Dynasty wants to re-disturb the chaos in Jianghuai, but their goal is definitely not Jianghuai. ”

"Your Highness is right, Du Fuwei re-rebelled just to contain us, and their target should be in the north or Yuzhang, Poyang and other counties."

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "Jianghuai and Hetao are far away, and they can't affect the Hetao area, Changping and Shangdang two counties are possible, but my intuition is Yuzhang County and Poyang County, once Jianghuai is in chaos, we will inevitably transfer the army in Jiangnan to Jianghuai to quell the chaos, which will cause the emptiness of the counties in Jiangnan, and the Tang Dynasty army is stationed in Jiangling, all kinds of strategic materials are ready, and they can launch an attack to the east at any time, I think the goal of the Tang army must be Yuzhang County." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuan sneered and said: "It's really interesting, I'm plotting Jingzhou, but the other party is plotting for me in Jiangnan, so let's see who can sing this scene more excitingly!" ”

"What does Your Highness mean ......," Fang Xuanling asked cautiously.

Zhang Xuan said categorically: "My meaning is very simple, let Du Fuwei rebel in Qichun County, so as to give us the opportunity to gather troops in Qichun County, but the premise is that Du Fuwei's rebellion must be under our control, and the situation must not be allowed to expand." ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the internal guards have been prepared, and they will never let Du Fuwei succeed."

Zhang Xuan instructed again: "In addition, Xiangyang County must also be arranged, this matter is interlocking, and none of them can go wrong." (To be continued.) )
