Volume 12 Battle in the Western Regions Chapter 380 True Lies (3)
Chapter 380: True Lies (3)
The Western Camp has been operated by the Sky Eagle Legion for several generations, and it has long been more than a single military camp, since the retreat of Wolong City, a large number of people have gathered in the city, and the prosperity in the city is not inferior even compared to the former Wolong City.
However, now that the Caesars have withdrawn their troops, the city of Wolong is bound to be rebuilt, and there are countless jobs to be done in the future.
Whether it is Ge Haojian or Tong Yiyi, these officials in charge of civil affairs are so busy that they don't even have time to breathe all day.
However, at this time, Ge Haojian still had to work hard for one thing, and this matter, let him be twice as bold, and he didn't dare to make decisions without permission.
On the carriage, the first supervision envoy under Xu Haifeng secretly looked at the master's face, but he didn't dare to speak and inquire.
"Lord, it's here."
With a soft shout, Xu Haifeng opened his slightly closed eyes, he strode out of the car, Ge Haojian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed.
Out of the carriage, there was a majestic and solemn mansion outside, and to be able to live in such a place was definitely not trivial.
The gate was closed, and the eight family members outside the door kept a cautious eye on the carriage. If this was Jingshi or Wolong City, they would have come up and scolded loudly.
However, when they saw clearly the people who got out of the carriage, they immediately changed their expressions and bent down respectfully one by one.
"Uncle." The leader immediately stepped forward and said, "Please wait, the small one will open the middle door." β
"No need, let's go through the side door, is the eldest brother there?" Xu Haifeng waved his hand and stopped his action.
The subordinate was slightly stunned, with Xu Haifeng's identity today, he actually wanted to go through the side door, which was indeed a thing that no one believed when he said it. However, he is also a clever person, so he didn't dare to ask, but said, "Uncle is in the house, please." β
The group entered the Fang Mansion through the side door and came to the hall.
After a short while, Xiang Ming strode in. However, Xiang Zhi, the number two person in the younger generation of the Fang family, who had always been with him, was not with him.
"Big brother, little brother is here today for my cousin." Xu Haifeng was not polite to them, and said it bluntly.
"I know that this morning's chaotic little brother has already gotten the news and has asked Brother Zhi to go out to investigate, but I'm ashamed that the source of the news has not been found so far."
Seeing Xu Haifeng, Xiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Ever since he received the news that had been circulating among the people and soldiers in the city this morning, a big stone hung in his heart.
In Wolong City, there are only a few people who know about Xu Haitang's collusion with foreign enemies.
Xia Yajun and Jiang Kongming are Xu Haifeng's wife, and the other is his right-hand man and first confidant, which will never be passed on.
Then this suspicion is only his own brother and Lu Tongzhou.
However, no matter how you look at it, the suspicion of his brother is a little bigger.
So as soon as he received the news, he immediately ordered Xiang Zhi to go out to find the source of the news, and he was sure to find out this person.
It's just that before Xiang Zhi's disappearance came, Xu Haifeng had already come to visit.
And as soon as he met, he talked about it bluntly, obviously there was no Geng Jie in his heart, and as soon as he thought of it, the big stone in his heart was put down.
"Big brother thinks, which news is this?"
Xiang Ming glanced at him, but he couldn't see any expression on his face, and he was thinking in his heart, this question was too difficult to answer: "I don't know for my brother." β
"Big brother, this time the news came suddenly, and the speed of transmission is incredible. Although the Western battalion is large, there are by no more than six of them with this strength. β
Xiang Ming's eyebrows froze, and from Xu Haifeng's mouth, he seemed to hear a hint of murderous intent.
"Six."
"Not bad." Xu Haifeng said loudly: "Now that Zhang Jin Zhongyuan is in Taiyuan, and the old general Lu Dingsheng has just put into service, the younger brother himself will naturally not do this fratricidal thing." β
Xiang Ming took a deep breath and said, "Are you suspicious of the three major families?" β
Xu Haifeng smiled slightly, this was the first time he had shown a smile since he entered the Fang Mansion today: "Among the three major families, the younger brothers of the Fang and Tang families are naturally trustworthy. β
"The Su family?" A fine light suddenly flashed in Xiang Ming's eyes, Xu Haifeng's spearhead was directed at the Su family, could it be that there was another reason for this, or did he want to take this opportunity to start eradicating dissidents?
The thought of the latter made him shudder.
"Su Yating."
"What?"
"This is the man who threaded the needle for his cousin and the Caesar."
The corners of Xiang Ming's eyes twitched, and after a while, he finally asked, "Why did Su Chunwei do this?" β
If what Xu Haifeng said is true, then behind this matter, there must be the shadow of Su Chunwei.
"Hehe...... Xu Haifeng sneered: "If it was the Battle of Taiyuan, if it wasn't for the junior brother's great victory, presumably the Su family would not be so anxious." β
Xiang Ming's face changed suddenly, the Battle of Taiyuan is the most sensitive topic.
Could this be Su Chunwei's choice?
"Second brother, how do you deal with Cousin Ling's matter?"
Smiling slightly, Xu Haifeng turned back to Ge Haojian, who had been standing by his side, and said, "Lord Ge, what do you think?" β
Ge Haojian's head was immediately as big as a fight, but he also knew that he couldn't hesitate for a moment at this moment, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Not killing is not enough for the hearts of the people." β
"Good. Then kill it. Xu Haifeng said casually, as if he was talking about a beast.
Xiang Ming and Ge Haojian's faces immediately changed slightly.
At the same time, a chill rose in their hearts, could this be Xu Haifeng's true person.
"What is the most important thing in human life, or what are we trying to climb up for?" Xu Haifeng suddenly smiled and asked.
The two of them were stunned, and after a while, Xiang Ming said, "Protect the family and defend the country." β
"Loyal to the Sovereign." Ge Haojian lowered his head and said softly.
Xu Haifeng smiled dumbly and said, "Big brother, the inspector, these two sentences are all faΓ§ade words. If I say, what I hope most is to live a better life, and if I can do my best, I will give my relatives and friends the best return. β
The two of them moved in their hearts, and they couldn't figure out what Xu Haifeng meant by this sentence.
Xu Haifeng looked at the surprised expressions on their faces, and suddenly sighed, and said: "Xu Haitang is my cousin, our two brothers grew up together, and my cousin's family takes good care of me, no matter what he does, I should leave him a way to live." β
Ge Haojian's face suddenly fell, Xu Haifeng had just said that he was going to kill him to make the people angry, why did he say in a blink of an eye that he wanted to leave him alive.
Where did these two extreme orders take him?
"Second brother, ...... you" Xiang Ming's expression also moved slightly, and there was a question in his eyes when he looked at Xu Haifeng.
"Overseer, how many years has it been since your dungeon was built?" Xu Haifeng asked suddenly.
Ge Haojian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "The residence of his subordinates, this is the mansion of the previous military judge, and this dungeon has been established for a long time, there are always decades. β
"Well, the innermost one is pretty decorated."
Ge Haojian's face changed, and his heart suddenly became worried. Although he was ordered to take Xu Haitang into prison, he didn't dare to embarrass him in the slightest, so he specially tidied up the innermost luxurious dungeon and gave him a place to live. It's just that I don't know what Xu Haifeng's attitude is towards this.
"Lord Qi, that cell was originally used by the Western battalion to temporarily detain officials above the convicted Ten Thousand Cavalry Commanders. Subordinates are just ......"
Xu Haifeng stretched out his hand to stop his words, and said, "Xu Haitang is my cousin, you are doing this very right." β
Ge Haojian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and with Xu Haifeng, he became more and more worried, since ancient times, he has been with the king like a tiger, and now that he thinks about it, it is really good.
It's just that, listening to Xu Haifeng's words, it seems that he is more and more protective of Xu Haitang, so what is his plan?
"This house is very good, you can tidy it up and let my cousin live there for a while."
Ge Haojian suddenly raised his head, looking at Xu Haifeng, his eyes were full of questions.
"As for Xu Haitang, who fornicated with foreign countries and betrayed military discipline, it was a heinous crime, and there is no reason for pardon, so you will be tried by the public and executed by Ling Chi, as a warning to the world."
Xu Haifeng's voice suddenly turned cold, and the murderous aura contained in it made Ge Hao's sword body shudder involuntarily.
"Do you remember?" Looking at Ge Haojian, Xu Haifeng asked softly.
The corners of Ge Haojian's mouth twitched slightly, and after half a sound, he finally lowered his head and said: "My subordinates understand, the cousin of the lord is temporarily living in the prison of the supervision envoy, Xu Haitang's crime is not redeemable, when Ling Chi is executed, inform the world, and make the world take warning." β
Xu Haifeng showed a satisfied smile and said, "Okay, you go down first and wait for me in the car." β
Ge Haojian answered, turned around and walked out, returned to the car, touched his forehead, and was already dripping with cold sweat.
"Big brother, since the Su family treats me like this, how do you say I should deal with it?" Seeing that Ge Haojian had already gone away, Xu Haifeng turned around and asked in the direction of Ming.
"Second brother, do you have any evidence?"
"Nope." Xu Haifeng said lightly: "I know it, I don't need any evidence." β
Xiang Ming was stunned, shocked by his unreasonable words.
Xu Haifeng's words show that he has already decided that this matter was done by the Su family.
Now that they have been identified, it no longer matters whether they are wronged or not.
"Be a friend to me, I should be a confidant and a brother, and if you are my enemy, I will destroy it in the end." Although Xu Haifeng's voice was not high, he was frank and frank, but he said his true heart: "Big brother, the younger brother still has to deal with the affairs in the city, so I will take the first step in this regard, and ask the eldest brother to greet my aunt and third uncle on my behalf." β
Xu Haifeng clenched his fists slightly and turned back.
Behind him, Xiang Ming's face was solemn, and just as Xu Haifeng's one foot stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "The minister sent Ming Gong to the lord." β
Xu Haifeng's feet seemed to pause slightly, and he didn't seem to hear any sound.
His form did not stop, and he was not seen in the blink of an eye.
