Chapter 253: None of them are missed
In the blink of an eye, half a month flew by. As Wang Xu's body recovered day by day, the civil and military officials gradually forgot about the assassination, and Yiqiē seemed to regain his former peace. But in fact, the spy triumvirate has been running non-stop and extremely tired in the past month. In an unknown corner, the intelligence officers of the spy are nervously investigating, and these heroes hidden in the dark have set off one dark tide after another.
And today is the last day of the deadline, Wang Xu even put down all government affairs, and has been sitting in the pavilion in his courtyard drinking tea, quietly waiting for Shan Huai and them.
"Husband, why haven't they come yet? It's almost noon! After chatting and waiting for a long time with Wang Xuxian, Xu Shu was also very bored, and her saliva was dry.
"Wait! Estimated soon. Wang Xu is not in a hurry, he trusts the three of them very much. While talking, he also picked up the snacks on the stone table and enjoyed them leisurely. "Eat some too! This snack is made by Xiaoling herself, I didn't expect this girl to be lively on weekdays, but this delicate craftsmanship is so good. ”
"It's okay! I don't think it's sweet enough! Xu Shu smiled slightly.
"Huh! Don't be so picky! Besides, if it's too sweet, it's also greasy to eat, isn't it? As he spoke, Wang Xu swallowed the snack in his mouth after three or two bites.
"Huh! I still prefer to eat fruits, and it can be ......"
As soon as Xu Shu said this, the beautiful Rongzi had not yet spoken, but the footsteps of Shan Huai and the three of them suddenly came from the distance.
In an instant, Xu Shu, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't care about chatting, even if he looked back. "Sister Wanqing, Sister Liang Rui, you are finally here, I thought you wouldn't come!"
"Huh! Today is the last day of the lord's deadline, if you don't rush back, then it will be a big trouble, and people's bodies can't withstand the lord's military sticks. Ling Wanqing looked quite happy, but instead laughed and teased Wang Xulai.
However, Wang Xu didn't want to quarrel with Ling Wanqing, if she continued to play, maybe she would be able to say anything. smiled slightly, and changed the topic: "Since you all rushed back, then presumably the matter has been done!" ”
Hearing that they had already asked about the matter, the faces of the three of them were obviously solemn, and they nodded solemnly. Shan Huai's already extremely cold face added a bit of violentness. "Back to the lord, with the joint efforts of the three of us, we have found out everything in order to live up to the expectations of the lord."
"Good!" Nodding, Wang Xu suddenly spoke: "I won't ask anymore, I just want to know, what about the evidence?" ”
"Here!" As he spoke, Shan Huai reached out and took out a stack of Cai Lun paper from his arms, and quickly handed it to Wang Xudao: "Lord, these are the handwritten letters of Cao Yin and Wang Rui to contact those assassins, although most of them have been burned or lost, but these can still be proven!" ”
"Hmm!" In response, Wang Xu unfolded the letters, took a cursory glance, and then put them on the stone table, and asked lightly: "Then these letters may guarantee that there is no problem?" This time it's going to play the majesty, if you get a fake letter, it's not good. ”
"Don't worry, lord!" Hearing this, Liang Rui quickly took over and said, "I received these letters from Feng Shan, the leader of the assassins, the lord of Fengyun Village. Although most of them have been destroyed, he has also left a part. The main purpose is to hold on to the evidence of Wang Rui and Cao Yin, worried that the two of them will not admit their accounts after the incident, leaving a way back for themselves. At present, Feng Shan has also been caught, and he is locked up in the spy headquarters. ”
"Oh? How did you catch him? Cao Yin didn't secretly send someone to protect him? Wang Xu suddenly said curiously.
"Huh!" Hearing this, the three of them did glance at each other, and a faint smile appeared on their faces. After a while, Shan Huai replied, "Back to the lord, in fact, this is all thanks to the strange plan of Ling Wanqing's commander. After she found Feng Shan's whereabouts, she suddenly mentioned yì and released a rumor that Feng Shan had been quietly contacting us, making Cao Yin suspicious. As a result, Cao Yin really fell for the plan, and for the sake of insurance, he wanted to kill Feng Shan and destroy the mouth. Just as he asked people to do it, we suddenly appeared and rescued Feng Shan, so that we could get the letter that Feng Shan had hidden, and let him testify willingly. However, we have promised to ensure that his wife and children are not wanted. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately glanced at Ling Wanqing with appreciation. But he didn't say much, and when he continued, "What about that?" These things are not enough, there is a very powerful eunuch behind them, and he may be excused when the time comes, so if you want to kill him at once, you must have more sufficient evidence, which is so sufficient that it cannot be denied. ”
"Don't worry, the lord has a lot of evidence." Ling Wanqing smiled slightly, and then took over and said, "Commander Shan Huai has already found out all the participants, and has persuaded more than ten people to be willing to testify. And I also co-opted one of Cao Yin's cronies, who had personally heard Cao Yin and Wang Rui discuss the matter and was willing to testify. ”
"Good!" Hearing this, Wang Xu finally nodded with satisfaction. "Have you found out all the participants?"
"It's all been found!" Shan Huai immediately replied affirmatively.
Hearing this, Wang Xu didn't hesitate any longer, and stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "Pass on the order of General Zhengnan, arrest immediately, and no one of the participants is allowed to be missed, including Wang Rui, the former assassin of Jingzhou." As for Cao Yin, you don't have to worry about it for the time being, I will make a decision after reporting to the imperial court. ”
"No!"
After surrendering his order, Shan Huai did not rush to leave, but raised his head and said cautiously: "Lord, there are many people who are currently in Nanyang, Xiangyang and other places, and it is okay to investigate secretly, but if the arrest is approved, the current assassin Liu Biao may have to stop it." This ......"
"Oh! I was negligent. Patting his forehead lightly, Wang Xu immediately replied: "It's okay, I will write a letter to you immediately, and after you bring it to Liu Biao, it will be impossible for him to stop it." As he spoke, Wang Xu had already taken a step forward and quickly rushed to the study.
After a while, Wang Xu quickly wrote the letter in the eyes of the three of them and stamped it with his seal. After checking it, he handed it to Shan Huai. "I'll give you fifteen days, and you must approve all of them!"
As he spoke, Wang Xu thought about it, and immediately took out three blank silk silks, picked up a pen and wrote. This time, it took a lot of time, and almost every sentence I wrote had to be carefully considered for a long time, and it took me half a day to finish it.
After checking that it was correct, he solemnly handed the three silk silks to the three of them. "Shan Huai, this letter in your hand is from the Imperial Court, find a reliable person to send it! Wanqing, this letter in your hand is for the general He Jin, remember that this letter must be safe. Liang Rui, this envelope in your hand is the most important, not only to be safe, but also to be secretive and fast, and it must arrive before the other two, because it must be delivered to Zhang Rang, the middle attendant. ”
As he spoke, Wang Xu didn't explain more, but asked lightly, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
"Understood!" The three of them nodded suddenly.
"Very good, these three letters are very important, and there must be no business trips, so I will leave it to you."
"Don't worry, lord!"
"Well, I'm not going to talk nonsense. Go ahead! I await your good news. Seeing that the three of them had no objections, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly.
"No!" The three of them did not hesitate this time, arched their hands, and quickly turned to leave.
Seeing the three of them walk out of the study, Xu Shu, who had been staying quietly next to her, walked forward slowly and asked suspiciously, "Husband, why are you writing letters to He Jin and Zhang?" Do you want to move the big guys? ”
"I want to, but I don't want to move!" Wang Xu smiled slightly, slowly looked at Xu Shu and said, "The letter I wrote to He Jin just told him the truth about this time, and told Jian Shuo about his participation once. I think He Jin will definitely not let go of this opportunity, after all, there are not many such opportunities, as long as he does well, it is not that there is no chance to kill Jian Shuo. As for Zhang Rang, I just expressed that my intention this time is to protect myself, and I will secretly support them in the future, but I hope they don't help Jian Shuo this time. ”
Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly smiled: "Hehe! You're really two-faced! ”
"I don't want to! But who told them to force me? To be honest, if Cao Yin doesn't do this, I will at most let him hand over his power, just like Zhang Xian in Changsha, have enough food and clothing, and live his comfortable life in peace. But who knew he was going to force me to do it? Saying that, Wang Xu also sighed helplessly. But then he smiled again: "No matter what, since he has already done it, he has to bear the price for his actions, and I just took the opportunity to completely collect Wuling, but I am still really troubled, and I don't know who to let Wuling do." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Shu suddenly laughed and gave Wang Xu a big white eye: "Forget it!" Things haven't worked out yet, and you want to be so early. Whether you can get rid of Cao Yin is still a question! ”
"Humph! Even if there is a big accident, Cao Yin should not think about it this time, no matter what, he will not want to be a martial artist anymore. Wang Xu said coldly.
Seeing that Wang Xu's mood was not very good, Xu Shu didn't want to continue talking, so she immediately changed the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about this, the specific situation still depends on the result." By the way, my family is about to move over, and I have already bought two large mansions in this Quanling City, how about I go and see them? ”
"What are you buying two for?" Hearing about the things at home, Wang Xu's attention was immediately attracted to the past.
"Because one isn't big enough! So I bought another one next door, and I am currently breaking through the courtyard wall and preparing to integrate it into one, after all, there are a lot of people in the family! ”
"Oh!" Wang Xu nodded clearly, but then he hesitated a little and said, "Actually, you don't need to buy such a big one, I estimate that we won't live in this Quanling for long." ”
"Huh? Do you want to move to the General's Palace? Xu Shu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course, this time next year, the world will probably be in chaos. When Wuling is recovered, the next step is to find an opportunity to let Sun Jian leave, at that time, the four counties of Jingnan are in my hands, and Quanling is not suitable as the general's mansion. Although Quanling has developed rapidly and has begun to plan for expansion, it is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, and the geographical location here is not suitable. Wang Xu replied as a matter of course.
"And where do you want to move to?"
Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly glanced at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "Fool, do you still need to ask?" Changsha, of course. Linxiang City, the capital of Changsha County, is much larger than Quanling, the city is high and the walls are thick, and it is definitely a strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, Changsha is bordered by Jiangxia in the north, Lingling and Guiyang in the south, Wuling in the west, and Yuzhang County in Yangzhou in the east. Although there are mountains as a block, there is also an official road that can be passed, which is a strategic location. In the future, if we send troops to take Jingnan, or go east to Yangzhou, this can be used as a springboard for the front line. Moreover, Changsha is rich and rich, and it is the largest county in Jingnan, which is just right as a place of governance. ”
"Oh! Also. Hearing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but smile. But then he spoke again: "However, it doesn't matter if you move the house, you can sell the house when the time comes." It is really uncomfortable for such a large group of people in the family to be crammed into a house. ”
"Huh! So be it! It's your business anyway. With that, Wang Xu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then got up and walked out of the study. Then check it out now! If my father and they come, I don't even know the way, it would be a little embarrassing! ”
"Okay, I'll leave when I'm cleaned up......."
