Chapter 160: The Shadows
Zhou Hui could clearly feel the anger emanating from Wang Chong's bones, just like a tiger that had been touched on the buttocks, his whole body had been fried, at this time, he had 10,000 reasons to believe that once his answer could not satisfy Wang Chong, Wang Chong, who was iron-blooded, would never let go of their Zhou family easily.
At this moment, Zhou Hui was full of grievances, because this matter had nothing to do with him at all, but in the face of the angry Wang Chong, he did not have the slightest courage to argue.
Next to it, the county commander of Shuxian County trembled and shrank his head, not even daring to let go of a fart, Wang Chong was assassinated, this is a big deal, once it is publicized, I am afraid that the entire Huainan will be fried, not only the more than 100,000 troops under the command of Jinfan, even the people of Huainan who have finally lived a comfortable life, will definitely be excited, if any family is implicated in this matter, it is certain that they will be destroyed, and in the end, I am afraid that even the ancestral grave will be dug out.
Zhou Hui didn't dare to slack off, frowned, and seriously looked at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, hoping to see one or two familiar faces from them, so as to give Wang Chong a satisfactory answer.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhou Hui locked his gaze on one of the corpses, and quickly squatted down and flipped the neck of the deceased.
Wang Chong's eyes lit up: "Have you found anything?" ”
Zhou Hui pointed to the neck of the deceased man under him and said: "General, the other villains here have no impression, but the birthmark on this person's neck is still fresh in the villain's memory!" ”
Wang Chong's eyes were full of murderous intent: "Where does this person come from?" ”
Zhou Hui said: "It should be a doorman under Zhao Xi, and his status in the Zhao family seems to be quite high. ”
"Zhao Xi?" Wang Chong frowned, isn't this the idiot who instigated the Huainan family to rebel a few days ago, and was killed by Zhou Tai with a knife?
Wang Chong stared at Zhou Hui with burning eyes: "Are you sure?" ”
Zhou Hui thought carefully for a while, and then nodded and said, "General Mingjian, villains don't dare to lie!" ”
Wang Chong is completely deflated now, this Nima Zhao family has been wiped out by himself, who else can he find to retaliate? As for whether Zhou Hui lied, Wang Chong believed that he didn't dare, after all, this kind of thing, he only needed to go to Longshu and ask a few people to ask if the Zhao family had a doorman with a large birthmark on his neck, if Zhou Hui really wanted to hide it, it was better to just say that he didn't know, so why bother?
"Then do you think this is the revenge spontaneously organized by the Zhao family's disciples, or is there the shadow of other forces mixed in?"
"This ......" Zhou Hui's body trembled, put on a bitter gourd face, and pleaded, "General, why are you so embarrassed about the villain?" ”
Obviously, Wang Chong's question is a big trap, because without evidence, no matter which answer he chooses, he will not be able to justify himself in the end.
Wang Chong laughed and played with taste: "Don't be nervous, just kidding!" ”
In fact, although Wang Chong asked, he actually had the answer in his heart, if other families or princes really participated in this matter, then this ambush would definitely not be so simple, and even only a dozen people were dispatched, the enemy was clear and I was secret, Wang Chong was defenseless this time, and the dead soldiers set up by the other party only needed to be doubled, maybe Wang Chong had really been planted.
Zhou Hui laughed dryly twice and complained: "General, this joke is not funny at all!" ”
Wang Chong shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, I was dizzy just now, I may have a bad attitude towards the Zhou family master, please don't mind the Zhou family master!" ”
Zhou Hui borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "The general is polite, when this kind of thing happens, anyone will be furious, this is human nature, how can the villain blame the general?" ”
"If only you could think so!" Wang Chong nodded, and reminded everyone again, "I hope everyone can keep their mouths shut about this matter, and no one will stretch it out, after all, my Huainan has just stabilized, and I can't withstand the turmoil anymore!" ”
Everyone responded in unison: "No! ”
Next, Wang Chong left Ding Feng and some of his personal guards, and asked them to secretly escort Wang Shuang back to Anhui City to recuperate from his injuries, while he himself continued to pretend to be casual and led the remaining personal guards to Hefei to congratulate.
The assassination is very sensitive, the reason why Wang Chong chose to conceal it, preventing the Huainan riot is only one aspect, the most important thing is that he doesn't want this matter to reach Sun Ce's ears, so that the other party has a guard, in case Sun Ce is not assassinated next year and dies, his plan to attack Jiangdong is afraid that it will be greatly hindered.
――――――――――――――
The fourth year of Jian'an, October 12.
Wang Chong, who returned to Anhui City after congratulating Li Tao on his wedding, found Jia Xu as soon as possible.
"Wenhe, presumably you have heard about my assassination two days ago, right?"
Jia Xu nodded, Wang Shuang returned seriously injured for no reason before, although he hid it from most people's ears and eyes, but he couldn't escape Jia Xu's eyes.
"This incident has reminded me that maybe, I, Jinfan, should also form such a special force!"
Jia Xu's eyelids jumped: "Assassination troops? ”
Wang Chong said: "Not only assassination, but also responsible for spying on the enemy, monitoring whether officials in various places are corrupt and bending the law, secretly colluding with enemy forces, this is a force lurking in the shadows, so I plan to name it 'Dark Department'!" ”
"The Shadows?" Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said, "The lord summoned Xu over, isn't he going to let Xu be in charge of this dark department?" ”
Wang Chong said: "That's right, the dark department is doing shady things, so the fewer people who know, the better, otherwise it will inevitably cause panic among my Jinfan officials, and when the time comes, Wenhe is responsible for the formation, all expenses are covered by the general's mansion, and the members of the dark department need a variety of occupations, they can be courtesans, they can be peddlers, they can be family members, they can be teahouse guys, and they can even be generals of the army, in short, I hope that in the next five years, this dark department can penetrate all parts of the country, The information they are investigating doesn't have to be very confidential, but if there is an obvious change anywhere, I have to get the information as soon as possible! ”
Jia Xu frowned and said, "Lord, this is not a small project!" ”
Wang Chong smiled faintly: "Don't worry, just take your time, but the most important thing is that these people can be relied on, even if they die, they will never leak any information about my dark department!" ”
Jia Xu nodded and said: "This is easy, as long as it is controlled layer by layer, the information that each member of the dark department knows will be very limited, even if it is exposed, it will definitely not let people find out about us." ”
Wang Chong looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "Among all the civil and military forces in my Jinfan, the one who has the ability to take charge of this dark department is probably the only one who is Wen He!" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Does the lord mean that he is a dark person?" ”
Wang Chong said: "I just want to say, if you talk about calculations, no one in the world can win you old fox!" ”
"The lord praises it!"
"Shameless!"
"Lord, is this dark man only obeying the orders of the lord?"
"Yes, I will let Huang Yi be responsible for cooperating with you in this matter, for the time being, don't let anyone else know!"
Huang Yi is now the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, and his loyalty to Wang Chong has reached 91 points, which is absolutely trustworthy, not to mention that Wang Chong wants to use the resources of the General's Mansion unknowingly, and he must need Huang Yi's cooperation.
"No!"
Wang Chong asked: "By the way, Wenhe, now the key development direction of this dark army is Jiangdong, especially Wuhou Mansion, and I must send someone to keep an eye on me." ”
A cold light flashed in Jia Xu's eyes: "The lord wants to ......"
Wang Chong smiled coldly, and immediately took out the theory that Guo Jia said about Sun Ce in history: "Sun Ce is new and Jiangdong, all the people he punishes are heroic and heroic, and those who can win people's death are also unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to walking alone in the Central Plains, if the assassin rises, but the enemy of one person, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will be able to ambush him in one fell swoop!" ”
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "The lord is wise! ”
Wang Chong had an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, there were some things, he didn't want to just rely on history, not to mention that history had changed, as long as Sun Ce's light and unprepared character was still the same, even if there was no Xu Gong's disciple, couldn't he do it himself?
