Chapter 549: The Man in Black (2)

Zhang Li was poisoned, fortunately, Hua Yu's means were not bad, and he was treated in time, but there was nothing bad, to a certain extent, it still caused the panic of the officials, after all, this is in Chang'an, Zhang Li's status is important, and he is still assassinated, and the impact is still very great, which also causes some officials in the city to be in danger.

After Jia Rong went to visit in person, he walked out of Zhang's Mansion with a gloomy face, Guo Jia and Zhang Li, these two people are the core figures of the Xiliang Army, once they are assassinated, how great the impact on the Xiliang Army is, the plot of these night people is not small, it is said that such an organization enters Chang'an City, someone should notice it, could it be that there are traitors and men in black in the city? A question flashed in Jia Rong's heart.

The Xiliang Army is no longer the small team with thousands of men and horses in hand, but only a few people, and I don't know how many officials under the rule, even if the lone wolf is punished by heaven, and everyone can not be checked very carefully, before the heavy armor of the Xiliang Army appeared in Xuzhou City, the heavenly punishment is still not found, and the weapons of the Xiliang Army can be smuggled to merchants, such a person's position in Chang'an must not be low, maybe he is a person in the craftsman's workshop, since that incident, Jia Rong has increased the management of the craftsman's workshop.

"What's the progress?" Jia Rong summoned Zhang Xiu and Wang Yue Qi and asked.

The two shook their heads one after another, except for the black-clothed man that Wang Yue met in Fenglailou today, all the others fled, and the black-clothed man in Fenglailou was carrying a dagger, which shows that these people are in a gang, and the assassination of Zhang Li and Guo Jia was also premeditated, I am afraid that the plot of these black-clothed people is even greater.

"My lord, could it be the princes of the Central Plains?" Wang Yue asked.

Jia Rong nodded slightly, this cannot be ruled out, the princes of the Central Plains will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Xiliang Army sit big, especially Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Cao Cao in the Central Plains, know the strength of the Xiliang Army, if it is allowed to develop, over time, who in the world can reach it, and everything in the Xiliang Army is closely related to Jia Rong, losing Jia Rong, the entire Xiliang Army will immediately become a plate of scattered sand, after all, Jia Rong did not call the king the emperor, and the ministers and generals under his command are still in the idea of the rule of the Han Dynasty, once Jia Rong is sick, How many people can really assist Jia Rong's heirs, especially those generals and officials who defected to the Xiliang Army, I am afraid that they will immediately roll up their covers and flee.

"Could it be that the man in black who came to the building today is targeting me?" Jia Rong asked.

In the Fenglai Building, a man in black appeared next door to his box, which is a very important news.

"Who is the owner of Feng Lailou?" Jia Rong asked.

"The owner of Fenglailou, surnamed Feng, is said to be a wealthy businessman in the Central Plains, quite wealthy, bold, and has a good reputation among Chang'an merchants." Zhang Xiudao.

"Surname Feng?" Jia Rong kept imagining, but still didn't find out when he had seen someone surnamed Feng.

"Start with the owner of the wind to the building, remember, don't startle the snake." He and his subordinate officials went to Fenglai Tower for dinner many times, and Lone Wolf and Heavenly Punishment probably had already investigated the bottom of Fenglai Lou in detail.

"No!"

Chang'an City is calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent, Zhang Li and Guo Jia were both assassinated yesterday, and there was a storm in the upper echelons of Chang'an, the identity of the two is so important in the Xiliang Army, they were assassinated in Chang'an City, many officials are glad that their identities are not enough to attract attention at the same time, they also began to think about what kind of purpose is behind this matter, the loss of Guo Jia and Zhang Li, it is equivalent to cutting off Jia Rong's right-hand man, which is obvious.

The mansions of various officials, the restaurants in the city, there are constantly lone wolf soldiers and assassins, but these people are dressed the same as ordinary drinkers, most of the people under Wang Yue are walking the rivers and lakes, and doing such a thing is like an arm, the lone wolf soldiers are familiar with Chang'an, and the people on both sides are also cheering, it depends on who finds out the identity of the man in black first.

The owner of the Wind Rise did not have any anomalies, and according to the intelligence, she behaved exactly as usual, seemingly unaware of what was happening in the city.

"There are a lot of Haode wines in the building." Wang Yue suddenly thought of this and immediately went to the place where the wine was produced.

The development of Chang'an allowed the craftsmen's workshops to be expanded to the greatest extent, and the place where the weapons were made was moved outside the city, which was strictly guarded by soldiers, and the place where Xianlian and moonlight cups and wine were produced were inside the city.

Wang Yue found Liu Blacksmith, who was in charge of wine production, and asked what happened.

Walking out of the craftsman's workshop, Wang Yue became even more confused, and the wine in Fenglailou was actually given by Jia Rong.

Hearing what Wang Yue said, Jia Rong was secretly frightened, when did he give an order about Hefeng Lailou.

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that when I left Chang'an, I had entrusted all the affairs in the city to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Li and Jia Xu to be responsible, perhaps it was at that time that the wine was ordered to be supplied to Fenglailou.

The more things are investigated, the more troublesome it becomes, but Jia Rong has to continue to investigate, no matter how many big people are involved, Jia Rong will not hesitate to do it, if these unstable factors are not removed for a day, Jia Rong will not feel at ease, who knows if these people will jump out at a critical moment and assassinate themselves, Dong Zhuo's death is a lesson from the past, and he is so closely guarded, he is still assassinated, although that incident has something to do with himself.

Suddenly, Jia Rong was worried about his own safety, all along, he was the chief general of the Xiliang Army and did not think about his safety, after today's events, he found that the control of the Xiliang Army over Chang'an was far from enough, it was difficult to guarantee when these black-clothed people would come to such a moment, he was quite a bit of martial arts, and the Liliang guarding him was strong, but there was nothing, if his wife and children had a mistake, the blow to Jia Rong would be the biggest.

Hurriedly got up, walked around the general's mansion, knocked on the door of his wife one by one, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he instructed the lone wolf soldiers before he slept peacefully.

The family is big and the business is big, so there are naturally more worries, if it is in the era when Jia Rong has no marriage and no children, these people are not enough to threaten him.

When something like this happened in Chang'an City, the lone wolf soldiers' guards on the General's Mansion became more strict, even if a fly flew in, it would also be discovered, and the servants inside and outside became the focus of attention, and it was difficult to guarantee that the men in black would be mixed with these people.

For three days, there was still no progress, all the clues were broken when they arrived at Fenglailou, their wine was indeed ordered by Jia Rong personally, and the owner of Fenglailou also had dealings with the officials of the Xiliang Army, but these are not enough to become evidence that Fenglailou is the stronghold of the black-clothed people, in Chang'an, there are hundreds of large and small restaurants, and there are not a few people who are related to the Xiliang Army, they help the Xiliang Army dump goods in the Central Plains, becoming the main economic source of Chang'an, and cannot be offended.

The bank is being established, it is impossible to have a big effect in a short period of time, if the Xiliang army wants to develop, it must rely on these merchants, and the powerful Xiliang army does not rely on the meager taxes on the land, but on the merchants.

"How's it going? The people who sold weapons to Xuzhou back then must have had something to do with him. Jia Rong suddenly thought of what he discovered a few years ago when he was in Xuzhou.

Zhang Xiu said: "The things of that year were all handled by the military division, it is said that an official opened the warehouse without permission, sold weapons to the merchants, and was executed by the military division, and the matter was over." ”

Jia Rong nodded slightly, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, daring to sell the weapons of the Xiliang Army to the merchants outside without permission, he must have extraordinary strength in Chang'an, and it was also because of this that he did not strictly investigate, but he did not expect that after many years, there would be a strange man in black in the city.

"The man in black may have nothing to do with that incident, pay close attention to the movements in the city, protect the officials, and can't afford to lose."

The assassination of Zhang Li and Guo Jia still caused a certain storm in the upper echelons of the Xiliang Army, and they didn't dare to imagine that anyone was so bold as to dare to assassinate in Chang'an City.

And said that after Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, restored the normal production order, encouraged the people to farm, the Central Plains under the influence of Cao Cao, gradually restored calm, at this time Cao Cao can be said to be complacent, the great enemy Liu Bei was disintegrated, fled to Jingzhou, Yuan Shao only Jizhou a state land, not enough to have a big impact on him, Jingzhou Liu Biao, is not worried, his biggest enemy may be far away in Chang'an Xiliang army.

But Cao Cao has full confidence, within three years, the entire Central Plains, into the bag, then there will be the strength to resist the Xiliang army, and it is not impossible to take the opportunity to dominate the world.

The assassination of the Son of Heaven, there is no owner in the world, Cao Cao asked himself, he also has the opportunity to be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, different eras, create different people, the previous Cao Cao just wanted to be a loyal minister and a good general, assist the Han Dynasty to prosper, and then leave a name in history, under the influence of power, it also grew first, but still did not get rid of the shackles, the matter of being the emperor, will not be considered at all.

Officials have repeatedly mentioned the matter of letting Cao Cao enter the throne of Wei, of course, these people are Cao Cao's sycophants, and they don't know the gains and losses after being called the king.

Cao Cao also understands the power of it, and he doesn't dare to talk about the king, the opposite sex can't be the king, this is the rule, once it is broken, the whole world will fall into a situation where there are princes and emperors everywhere.

After stabilizing, Cao Cao also began to rectify the affairs under his rule, to completely control the land, the strength of the family is great, Cao Cao is unwilling to provoke, the strategy adopted temporarily is to cooperate with them, give them enough benefits, not like the Xiliang army, the family will be completely offended, there is no room for turnaround, and the people who are also lowly merchants and craftsmen are also wooed.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, double watch!
