Chapter 198: Add to the fire
Xiang Jia choked on the water for a while, and laughed: "Take a few more sips, and come up when you're full." β
Grandpa Wei did so, and he drank it for a long time before pulling his head out.
Xiang Jia said: "To be polite, we don't know each other that well." β
Gonggong Wei said in a deep voice: "What exactly are you going to do?" β
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Jiaren was gone.
Gonggong Wei understood what Xiang Jia meant, and delayed his arrival at Yangshan Prison to buy time for the group of rebellious ministers and thieves.
Perhaps suspicious by nature, he thought of the other side. Is Xiang Jia suspicious and confused, causing the court to disbelieve the officials of Jiezhou, and then force the rebellion against Jiezhou.
Both possibilities exist, but the former is more likely.
Gonggong Wei didn't dare to stay, and traveled at full speed along the way, tearing through the space and constantly jumping positions. After he had been walking for a while, he suddenly noticed someone behind him.
At first he thought it was his delusion, but then it became more and more frequent, and he knew that someone was following him.
Xiang Jia only followed, but did not make a move, occasionally scaring and scaring Father-in-law Wei, or forcing the old gelding to stop.
After about half a moment, Grandpa Wei couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't you want me to go to Yangshan Prison?" β
Xiang Jia disappeared and never reappeared.
Gonggong Wei didn't dare to take it lightly, but Xiang Jia did leave. When he arrived at Yangshan Prison, he was in a terrible mood. Despite this, he still rushed into the prison very aggressively, and quickly searched for it, only to find two bodies in the depths of the prison.
Looking at the two corpses, the depression in his heart fermented, making him breathless and almost violent and murderous.
Father-in-law Wei pushed the door and walked into the prison, bent down, and reached out to touch the blood on the ground.
"The blood is still hot!"
Several county guards have strangulation marks on their necks and scars on their bodies that have been cut by sharp weapons, these are not important, the way of death can be disguised, but the blood is hot, I can't bear it!
He seemed to be able to imagine this picture: several men dragged several county guards from a distance, and in order to get ahead of him, and because they were afraid that the two sides would meet at the right time, they deliberately killed several county guards. may be the reason for the hurry, the killing is fast, but the follow-up forgery is not done well. They hurriedly threw the body into the prison, and then immediately reversed course and went back to report the news.
Gonggong Wei lifted the corpses of the county guards, his finger joints turned white, and finally he had to shake his head helplessly and let go of the corpses.
"Niang Xipi, wait for our family!"
He faced the top of the prison, and he didn't know if he was talking about Xiang Jia or the officials of Jiezhou.
Jiezhou is too guarded, and everyone's hanging hearts finally fell.
Cheng Yun's people rushed over and brought them good news. Several county guards have been sent to Yangshan Prison and killed.
When the other county guards in the main hall heard the news, they touched their chests, their faces full of joy, as if they had forgotten that they had worked together before, and they were all county guards.
The tea in Gao Ning's hand had already been cold, he was still holding the teacup, on the surface he was very calm, but he was also weak in his heart.
The time has not yet come, and they have not yet negotiated with the Mu family about what will happen after the surrender. Submission is never a word of refuge, let alone a sign of loyalty, involving all aspects.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen the fate of those county guards, everyone works together, I don't want to kill them, but they are on the opposite side of us, I have to kill!" Gao Ning said with a lot of anger.
Lu Zhichang, the county guard of Sitong City, hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes! They don't know each other, they want to escape, it's naΓ―ve, no, stupid! β
Others responded.
Gao Ning said again: "We only have one way to go, to join the Mu family, I didn't want to say it so early, but Grandpa Wei is here, and it is good for everyone here to be open and honest." β
Cheng Yundao: "We haven't talked to the Mu family about what happened after we took refuge, isn't it ......?"
Gao Ning waved his hand and said, "I can't guess what Grandpa Wei will do next, but we can't maintain the status quo for long, so we have to prepare early." β
"I support early preparation, but the problem is ...... We were unprepared. Cheng Yun sighed lightly.
Gao Ning said: "Father-in-law Wei came to Jiezhou, I can't summon the people of Sanshan Walled City, but I have already sent someone over." When Wen Mao received the instruction, he would find a way to contact the Mu family to discuss what happened after Jiezhou took refuge. β
Lu Zhichang clasped his hands together, "It's all about now." β
Cheng Yundao: "Later, that Father-in-law Wei is back, what should we do?" β
"Pretend you don't know." Gao Ning said with a smile.
He was not as nervous as he had just been, and ordered the servant to serve tea. took the new tea and said with a smile: "While drinking tea, wait for Grandpa Wei to come back." β
Dongze Imperial City, in the Yuan Mansion, was affected by the corruption case in Jiezhou, and the atmosphere here was extremely dull.
Yuan Jin left the Yuan Mansion and glanced back at the huge mansion. It was obviously a good weather, but he had a feeling of storm.
It takes more than ten years to build a building, and it only takes a moment for the building to collapse.
Yuan Jin didn't want the building to collapse, so he wanted to get the Yuan family out of the corruption case. If you can't pick it out, there are other ways, such as taking the blame.
When the big family reaches a moment of crisis, someone has to sacrifice, if you don't sacrifice, if I don't sacrifice, everyone will play together.
Yuan Jin is in charge of the top bag this time, but he doesn't want to do this, he wants to grab the back of fate's neck and struggle.
So, he left the Yuan Mansion and went to the mansion of the Great Prince.
It was Zhao Ying who met him.
When Yuan Jin saw Zhao Ying, he bowed his head and shouted: "Niangniang must save me!" β
Zhao Ying didn't let him get up, and asked directly, "Do you need me to save you?" β
"Yes, only the mother can save me." Yuan Jin raised his head, his voice trembling a little.
Zhao Ying smiled: "The Yuan family is so big, who dares to move easily, you are drunk." β
"I didn't, I wasn't drunk. This matter is not so easy to settle, I'm afraid there will be a big mess! β
"Oh?" Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows, "The Yuan family is an uneven mess?" β
"That's right."
"Get up and speak."
Yuan Jin stood up and said in a slightly hurried manner: "That group of officials in Jiezhou will not sit idly by, and when the time comes, they will either rebel or commit treason. β
Zhao Ying nodded slightly, "Go on." β
"The corruption case in Jiezhou has recently spread some news that is unfavorable to the Yuan family. The Yuan family can't pick it cleanly, in case the emperor blames it, I'm the one in charge of the top bag! "Yuan Jin is very unwilling, he is still young, he has never felt the feeling of the top, he is not married, he has not given birth to children...... He was reluctant to leave this world.
Zhao Ying sighed: "How is Jiezhou?" β
"It's been confusing these days, and Your Majesty has sent someone to appease them."
"What do you think will happen if they rebel?"
Yuan Jin pondered for a moment, "That is to split the territory, and the imperial court must send troops!" β
Zhao Ying asked again: "Now it's a sure thing that they will betray the imperial court." β
"Hmm."
"What we need to discuss is whether it is better for them to rebel sooner or later." Zhao Ying's words were very bold, and she dared to say this in front of Yuan Jin, which showed that her relationship with the Yuan family was not ordinary.
Yuan Jin said in a deep voice: "It's better to build early against the Yuan family." β
"Then we'll add to the fire!"
