Chapter 129: Time for Counteroffensive
Early in the morning of the second day, Yan Linglong did not greet Xiao Rui, and left the capital with Baiyun Mountain. Riding a horse galloping and dashing, without taking away a single cloud, only left Xiao Rui with the thought of a kiss.
This belongs to patting the ass and leaving after teasing, a serious irresponsible attitude. But is Xiao Rui a person who can lack women around him?
Looking at Zhuge Liuying and Xiao Qingqing, they immediately rushed to Xiao Rui's side like moths to the fire.
The investigation of the two women has progressed, so the three of them meet in Zhuge Mansion.
Xiao Rui sat in the right seat, acting like a boss, and asked the two secretaries: "Tell me about your investigation results." ”
Zhuge Liuying and Xiao Qingqing glanced at him, then glanced at each other, and Zhuge Liuying said first: "Then I'll talk about it first." After my investigation, I found that if my uncle was dismissed, the two deputy commanders of the Iron Dragoon, Tie Da and Niu Da, would be the most advantageous. Lord Niu has deep qualifications and connections, so it stands to reason that he should be promoted to the position of commander, but he was vetoed by Lord Ye Xiu, the governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, and instead let Lord Tie take the position. Lord Tie is my uncle's confidant, and he is the first to look forward. This is also the result of my uncle's strong request for Master Ye Xiu. ”
Xiao Rui nodded, he met Tie Biao when he participated in the death war, he was heroic and upright, and he had great respect for Zhuge Yuanba, and he had no connections, so he should not frame Zhuge Yuanba.
So, what about this cow-sama?
"What is the origin of this cow-sama?" Xiao Rui asked.
Zhuge Liuying said: "Niu Hu, he was first transferred from the Left Army Governor's Mansion to the Northwest Battalion, and then transferred to the Iron Dragon Cavalry!" Although the Iron Dragoon is subordinate to the Northwest Battalion and is controlled by the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, everyone knows that the Iron Dragoon only obeys the emperor's orders, although it is not a forbidden army, but it is better than a forbidden army, so he must be His Majesty's henchman to serve as the commander. Niu Hu's goal of entering the Iron Dragon Riding is very direct, he wants to become His Majesty's henchman! It's a pity that his reputation is a bit aggressive, and he is more utilitarian. Originally, my uncle had a chance to be promoted, but my uncle's personality was not suitable to be a military minister, so he refused, and this matter may anger Niu Hu who wants to take the position. ”
Xiao Rui nodded, Niu Hu and Zhuge Yuanba have contradictions, so there is a motive. But he couldn't do it with his ability, so Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Qingqing.
Xiao Qingqing immediately said: "After I went back the day before yesterday, I took a good look in the name of my father, and when I sent Uncle Yuanba to Qiannan Mansion, it was indeed an order from Ye Xiu, the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and only when he gave the order could Uncle Yuanba be called." ”
"Ye Dudu can't have a problem, he is His Majesty's henchman, and he has the grace of knowing my uncle!" Zhuge Liuying immediately retorted.
Xiao Qingqing smiled: "So when the matter was found on Ye Dudu, there was no follow-up." But this time, after in-depth inquiry, I learned that although Lord Ye gave the order, he was the governor, and it was impossible for him to even send individuals to arrange it himself, so naturally his subordinates proposed it and he signed it for approval. ”
Xiao Rui hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?" ”
"Governor Yuan Xiao!" Xiao Qingqing said.
"What is the origin of this person?" Xiao Rui didn't know this person, and hurriedly asked.
Xiao Qingqing said: "This person is not from the capital, he passed the Jinshi in the martial arts examination, and later entered the military department as a foreign officer, and then transferred to the Left Army Governor's Mansion as a prosecutor, and finally joined the army." Then he was transferred to the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army and served as a judge, and climbed to the position of the governor for more than ten years. This person is low-key and has a peaceful temperament, and nothing else can be found. ”
Zhuge Liuying said: "I have also heard of this Lord Yuan, the biggest in the Governor's Mansion is the Governor of the second grade, followed by the Governor Tongzhi of the third grade, and then the Governor of the fourth grade, although the rank is not very high, but the power is great, and he is still Lord Ye's henchman, so he naturally obeys Lord Ye's orders." ”
Xiao Rui said: "It's not so sure of nature!" If you are a confidant, you must not have a different heart? ”
Zhuge Liuying and Xiao Qingqing nodded in unison, and said, "But there are no more clues to prove it!" ”
"Your intelligence is already obvious, there is something wrong with this Yuan Xiao, and have you found out, Niu Hu and Yuan Xiao are both from the Left Army Governor's Mansion, dare to say that the two of them have nothing to do with each other? And I seem to remember that Han Mobei, the governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion, is the uncle of the fifth prince Xiao Yuan! ”
Good guy, it's on Xiao Yuan again, it seems that he is on the same page as this fifth brother.
Xiao Qingqing and Zhuge Liuying looked at each other, this matter was actually involved in Han Mobei, the governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion?
In the capital, not only the relationship between the civilian and official groups is horizontal, but also the military generals.
Xiao Yuan's mother, the Han family, is the military general's court, his maternal grandfather is the Duke of Qiguo, his uncle Han Mobei is the governor, plus other relatives who hold important positions, the Han family has a high reputation in the military general system, which is also a strong help to support Xiao Yuan.
However, the Han family and the Zhuge family have no grievances, Han Mobei will frame Zhuge Yuanba for a thousand iron dragon horses? It's not worth it.
Xiao Rui checked the system and did not prompt him that the task was completed, so Xiao Rui hadn't checked it out yet.
The new task is: to find out the mastermind and conspiracy behind the framing of Zhuge Yuanba, which is actually two tasks, so even if Xiao Rui suspects that Han Mobei is correct, but he does not find out his conspiracy, it is still not considered to have completed the task.
"Do you Zhuge family and Han family have grievances?" Xiao Rui asked.
Zhuge Liuying denied: "No, my father has been fighting outside the capital all the year round, far away from the capital, so naturally he will not have a gap with the military attaches in the capital." My second uncle's side probably won't. ”
Xiao Rui nodded, it seems that there are still too few clues to find anything useful.
"So what do we do next?" Xiao Qingqing and Zhuge Liuying asked.
Xiao Rui said: "Then check, is Zhuge senior here?" I want to ask him. ”
"No, I went out again." Zhuge Liuying smiled: "My uncle is an idle character, he is more comfortable if he does not serve as the commander." ”
Xiao Rui also smiled: "So your uncle is not in a hurry, and your father is too lazy to ask, so he won't investigate whether it is a conspiracy or not!" ”
Zhuge Liuying nodded.
Xiao Qingqing said angrily: "They don't check, let's check!" I want to know the truth! ”
Xiao Rui comforted: "Don't worry, I'm going to help you check it out!" ”
After all, there is a task on his body, and Xiao Rui has to work hard.
It's just that Xiao Qingqing was greatly moved by this sentence, and he actually received an unexpected surprise.
"Xiao Rui, I'm sorry for what happened before, I was too willful, I apologize to you! I know I don't blame you, but... Ay... All in all, I sincerely apologize to you! Xiao Qingqing said solemnly.
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, smiled back, and said, "Don't check it first, I'm afraid that you will scare the snake." ”
Xiao Qingqing was naturally unwilling, and just wanted to refute, but was stopped by Zhuge Liuying's glare, and then pouted with an aggrieved face, with a baby's unhappy expression.
Returning home from Zhuge 's house, Xiao Rui communicated with Jia Xu.
Jia Xu deserves to be regarded as a very smart person, and from the information provided by the two women, coupled with the investigation of various officials in the capital, he soon discovered something different.
I only heard Jia Xu say:
"Zhuge Yuanba and Han Mobei have no grudges, but the Iron Dragoon is in the Northwest Battalion, and the Northwest Battalion is under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Military Governor's Office. Ye Xiu, the governor of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, and Han Mobei, the Governor of the Left Army's Governor's Mansion, have grievances! ”
"Therefore, Niu Hu and Yuan Xiao who were transferred out of the Left Army Governor's Mansion should be Han Mobei's hidden chess pieces, Niu Hu took the opportunity to control the iron dragon horse, and he had the opportunity to control the northwest battalion. And when Yuan Xiao enters the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, he will have a chance to deal with Ye Xiu! ”
"And King Ruyang and Ye Xiu have a close relationship, and now after this incident, there is a gap in the relationship."
"And the Zhuge family found out that it was Ye Xiu's order, even if it was found out that it was Yuan Xiao, but Yuan Xiao was also Ye Xiu's person, so he naturally complained about Ye Xiu, and he let Zhuge Yuanba go to Qiannan, which also offended the Zhuge family."
"There is another thing, Ye Xiu is fifty-five in his sixties, and he has been vetoed by His Majesty many times, but after all, he is very old, and once he retires, the position of governor will become fragrant. As we all know, among the five military governors' mansions, the Chinese military governor's mansion has the largest weight, doesn't Han Mobei want to take it for himself? ”
"A plan to kill five birds with one stone is a good strategy!"
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "So, Zhuge Yuanba was yin, just a chess piece, in fact, Han Mobei was dealing with Ye Xiu?" And the purpose is to be the governor of the Chinese army? ”
"Highly likely!" Jia Xu said.
But Xiao Rui shook his head, because the system did not prompt him to complete the task, so there were other conspiracies!
"Sir, I'm going to take care of you to investigate these days and see if there are any other secrets in this!" Xiao Rui pleaded.
Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, leave this matter to me." ”
——————
As the governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Office, Yuan Xiao was busy until late on weekdays before going home, and the same is true today.
He was about to leave the palace, but was stopped by the governor and the governor.
"Lord Yuan, slowly, slowly." The Governor said with a smile.
Yuan Xiao immediately gave up his hand and said, "Lord Tongzhi, are you busy so late today?" ”
Governor Tongzhi smiled: "It just so happens that I am entangled in some official business, and I am busy and forget the time. There is a little thing I want to remind you of. ”
"Oh? I don't know what's going on? Yuan Xiao asked.
Du Dutong knew: "The day before yesterday, the King of Ruyang sent someone to ask me who suggested the order to send Zhuge Yuanba to Qiannan Mansion to Lord Ye at that time, thinking that the King of Ruyang was still haunted by the death of his younger brother. So I told the truth, but I was afraid that Lord Yuan would be implicated because of the truth, so I came to inform me. ”
Yuan Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, but his face did not change, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Tongzhi, I acted in accordance with the standardized process of the government, and I also reported to Lord Ye, what a person like the King of Ruyang, he will not be angry with me, but I still have to thank my lord for his thoughts." ”
The governor smiled, and then took his leave, taking the first step.
Yuan Xiao stood there, his expressionless face suddenly became hideous, he scolded secretly, and then hurried out of the mansion, then got into the carriage, said to the groom, and drove in one direction.
Looking at the direction in which the carriage went, it was different from the direction in which I went home on weekdays, and I don't know where it went.
