Chapter 15: Three Days Later
Si Chengzhi, who had sent him away, did not go to bed immediately, but walked alone in the courtyard in the dark of night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In fact, Zhao Guo and Li Dui did not surprise him by watching Tao Yi. Taoyi, a piece of big fat meat, naturally everyone wants, and the closest to it is naturally the Sanjin in the west of the Song Kingdom.
The division of the three ancestors of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi, was the beginning of this great dispute.
Among the three Jin Dynasty, the Wei State was the first prince to dominate among the nations, and the Wei Wushu who "fought seventy-two battles, won sixty-four, and the rest were evenly resolved (regardless of victory or defeat)".
However, in the Battle of Maling more than 50 years ago, the Wei army led by Pang Juan, a student of Guiguzi, was defeated by the Qi army led by his fellow disciple Sun Bin. In this battle, Pang Juan was killed by random arrows, Wei lost 100,000 soldiers, Prince Shen was captured, and then the country declined greatly.
Five or six years ago, in Yique, Bai Qi, then the head of the Qin State, defeated the Zhou, Han and Wei Three Kingdoms Alliance, after which the 240,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms were slaughtered by this ruthless man. Bai Qi not only became famous in the first battle, so he was promoted to the rank of national lieutenant, and since then he has the nickname "Human Slaughter".
Now the Wei State is not as good as the Song State.
The other Korea, which was similar to the Wei State, was also in its prime. The most famous thing in South Korea is not the idol group of plastic surgery and plastic surgery, but the crossbow arrows of "the strongest bows and crossbows in the world are all from South Korea", the sword of "cutting off cattle and horses on land, intercepting birds and geese in water", and "cutting down the iron curtain when the enemy is the enemy".
It's just that South Korea's geographical location is too poor, and it is even inferior to the Song Kingdom, which is located in the middle of the world. In addition to the Wei state in the north and the Song state in the east, there is the Qin state of "the country of tigers and wolves" in the west, and the state of Chu in the south of the "state of barbarians". South Korea, which was beaten by these two companies in turn, naturally could not develop.
Don't look at the Song State, which was almost destroyed by the Chu State several times, but the Central Plains countries are happy to see that there is a hard bone blocked in front of the Chu State that "is not my race, its heart must be different", so they are unwilling to weaken the Song State too much. And the Song people are also very conscious...... In fact, as self-proclaimed "civilized people", the descendants of Yin Shang even looked down on the surrounding concubines, let alone the barbarians in the south. So they would rather fight to the death with the people of Chu than surrender to them or form an alliance with them, so now the two families have become feuds.
In fact, the high-level officials of the Song State like Si Chengzhi still understood in their hearts why the Qi State was determined to destroy the Song State this time, because after the decline of the Chu State, the situation in the world changed from the top three to the Qi and Qin G2 hegemony, so he felt that he no longer needed the buffer zone of the Song State to decide to annex the Song State to enhance his own strength, and at the same time, eliminating this rare ally of the Qin State was also a blow to this opponent.
Of course, Korea after the Battle of Yique was not as good as Wei after the Song State.
Among these three, Zhao Guo is more competitive, although a few years ago, the male lord Zhao Wuling King was tragically starved to death in the sand dunes, but the foundation he left is still there. Now Li Dui, who is in charge of the Zhao State, has a little idea about the Tao Yi of the Song State, and it is natural for him to have some thoughts.
And the original master of Taoqiu's big Situ transaction did not surprise Si Chengzhi. You must know that cutting off people's financial routes is like killing your parents, and it is surprising that Cheng has been so honest in recent years.
As Wang Yan's nephew and a key figure in the Dai clan, Si Cheng Zhi knew that his uncle had already prepared measures to prevent the Cheng clan from rebelling. If the Cheng family was not so knowledgeable about current affairs, and Song Wangyan was afraid that there were many henchmen of the big Situ in the court, and he was very good at making deals, and the popularity in the country was good, the Cheng family would have been removed from the clan a long time ago.
Because of this, Si Chengzhi has always paid attention to collecting information about the Cheng clan, just to prevent them from making trouble.
However, the two families of Cheng and Li are indeed old friends, and the transaction once sent Zhao Guo to envoy Zhao Guo, and he has a good relationship with Li Dui. Contacting the news that this Zhao Guoquan minister wanted to seize Taoyi, maybe it was to win people's hearts, so he specially asked for a certain son to marry a daughter of the Cheng family, and the marriage between the two families may not be false.
And the news of Teng Guo's remnants made him a little nervous, so it seems that Da Situ Jiao not only colluded with Zhao Guoquan's ministers and recruited Chu State assassins, but also took advantage of Teng's remnants under his jurisdiction.
Of course, judging from the current evidence, it is not enough to prove that the assassination of Gongzi must be the troublemaker of Da Situjiao. And thinking about it the other way, maybe it was the Teng people and the Chu people who colluded together to blame the Cheng family, so that they had to commit treason under the miscalculation.
But Dai Zhi is a big detective, not a big detective, and there is no need for conclusive evidence to convict others. In fact, it doesn't matter if you kill the wrong one, the problem is that although the Cheng clan has been deprived of Taoqiu, a rich fiefdom, but the accumulation of so many years is not a small amount, and the dead soldiers raised are not necessarily much less.
Another key point is that in times of war, logistics are the top priority. In this regard, he had to rely on Da Situ Jiao, who had been in charge of the economic affairs of the Song State for decades, and he did a pretty good job this time.
Rat-throwing taboo, honestly.
Si Cheng shook his head and put this matter behind him, and began to think about the proposal of the rich and handsome guest before leaving.
Well, this proposal is not too much of a problem to spend some money, but Yuan Yifu said that their family can advance this money first, and it is not too late to settle the account afterwards. So why not give it a try......
Si Chengzhi, who had made up his mind, yawned and looked up at the dark night. He decided that he should take a nap before dawn, otherwise he would not have the energy to deal with tomorrow's official duties.
Gongzi couldn't sleep, Si Chengzhi couldn't sleep, and Shao Situ Cong was woken up from his deep sleep.
He was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms, when he smelled a foul smell in his nose, and heard the crying of a baby in his ears......
Don't look at Shao Situ Cong's submissive appearance in his father, he is also a fire ranger among the Eight Cave Mingzun, this kind of Mingzun is best at white soldier fighting, and he may only be a scout and archer on the battlefield, but in the case of a narrow encounter, he is definitely not weaker than other Mingzun of the same level.
Knowing that something was wrong, he didn't care about the pillow person he loved, so he jumped up and pulled out the sword beside the bed. With the sword in his hand, he became a little more courageous, and then he settled down and looked around, and found that all the maids in the house were foaming at the mouth and fainting.
And the culprit of all this is a big monster worm with a baby's head.
"Mole Baby!"
Seeing such a desolate thing, Rao is Cheng Cong is Shanghuo Ranger is scalp is also a little numb. He was about to shout for help, but saw that the mole baby had no intention of attacking at all, but withdrew the jaw teeth in his mouth, and spit out a bamboo slip from his mouth with a "grunt".
"Woo ......"
Mole Baby's face made an innocent smile very humanely, and then pushed the bamboo slip in the direction of Shao Situ Cong, but instead he took a few steps back and shrank in the dark corner, indicating that he was not hostile.
Don't look at Shao Situ as the pampered son of the Cheng family, he is also a former commander who has killed people on the battlefield, and he still has the courage to do so. He took a few steps forward with his sword upside down, and by the candlelight in the room, he saw four clear and changeable words on the bamboo slip.
I want to enter the temple.
Sure enough, these southern barbarians are still thieves.
Of course, Cheng Cong knew that the disciples secretly sent by the Huang clan of Chu State were not here to assassinate Gongzi, they were bribing Cheng with a lot of money to ask for a treasure from Song State, the White Tortoise Shell.
He took a fancy to two of these Southern Barbarians, so he put forward a request to assassinate the prince of Song. Shao Situ Cong said that as long as the son died, he didn't want a penny, and gave up the armor of the white turtle.
But now that Gongzi Qi is not dead, the Cheng family naturally does not have to hand over the treasures, and it is already magnanimous not to kill these people. But now these Chu people are cheeky and begging to come to the door.
Sure enough, it's a barbarian who doesn't know etiquette!
Shao Situ Cong scolded secretly in his heart, but he hesitated again, not knowing whether to refuse the other party.
Is...... This is clearly a threat!
Now it is the critical moment for the Cheng clan to launch, in case these Nanban send a message to the Dai family's office, wouldn't it be another incident?
He is also a character who can afford to put it down, and he made up his mind after thinking about it.
Shao Situ Cong walked to the front of the case, picked up a carving knife and carved a few words on the bamboo slips, then turned around and threw them in front of the mole baby.
The latter picked up the bamboo slip and swallowed it, then nodded to Shao Situ, climbed the pillar and climbed onto the roof, squeezed away the reed mat and tiles and flew out......
A young woman in brocade clothes, who looked fairly good and had a somewhat plump figure, took the bamboo slip from the mouth of the mole baby, and read it softly in a strange accent while patting the little head of the strange insect dotingly
"...... in three days"
