Chapter 42: Luring the Enemy
Everyone went out of the mansion gate too much, and walked for a while, but the subordinate finally couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly asked: "Commander, aren't the two assassins who died from the E-shaped team?" How did it come into conflict with our people? ”
This "E-shaped team" is the Chu army that first mixed into Tongcheng.
"Driving Langzhong" also had doubts in his heart at this time, he thought at first that this matter should be a bitter plan planned by Liu Zhu for the sake of Lianzhou and his own plan.
But when he saw the corpses of the two assassins, he hesitated, and the leader of the E-shaped team had told him that there were still other men left by His Highness in Tongcheng. But he was not told what happened.
He knows too well what the other party thinks in his heart, although this person is the first to be put into the door of His Royal Highness, but he also acts the most like to change the gap, His Highness knows his character, and because of this, he is only mixed with the leader of the E-shaped team today.
This person did not explain to him, presumably thinking that he had climbed another high branch. Even so, it was not surprising that he would act on the man's orders alone without informing himself in advance.
With the level of the E-shaped team's wine bags and rice bags, with three enemies and four, they can still run away from one, presumably there must be a master to help. These two phases are indeed reasonable.
Besides, in the current situation, his subordinates killed the people of the E-shaped team, and left him alive, which was originally a reasonable thing.
But if the other party is really a shadow of His Highness, and this secret has never even known to him. Presumably, he can also suppress himself in His Highness.
The leader of this E-shaped team may take advantage of this incident in the future to go to His Highness to sue him. Or use this as a blackmail to bargain for some bargains from him or something.
That's why he stopped his men and didn't ask on the spot, so as not to cause the matter to happen in advance.
Thinking of this, "Driving Langzhong" couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart. But at this point, there is nothing to be done.
But there are other suspicious things in this matter, His Royal Highness transferred Liu Zhi to Lianzhou, one is to weaken the power of His Royal Highness in Tongcheng and add a little security to Xu Zhongyan's safety.
The second is to make Yang Wantang's affairs bigger through Liu Zhu in Lianzhou, and make Song You's originally weak connection with Yang Wantang a real and serious injury, and hurt Song You's official reputation.
Killing Liu Zhu at this time has some coincidences with His Highness's calculations, but there are also some inconsistencies.
And looking at Liu's appearance, he seems to know something about the identity of the assassin.
However, Liu Zhu has been in Tongcheng for many years, and it is not strange that he has some enemies. It is not uncommon to misunderstand the identity of the Assassin.
But no matter what, when I meet the leader of the E-shaped team, I can always find a way to ask something.
Thinking of this, "Driving Langzhong" only said a word to his subordinates, don't say much. He also told them to go to the government and bring back the four people who had been killed by the assassins last night. Anyway, Liu Mansion has already been exposed once, but it is useless to conceal it at this time, so it is more convenient to simply put it on the surface. He is a small Tongcheng guard, even if he is a little unhappy, he has to endure it.
The subordinates took the order and left, and the "driving department Langzhong" returned to the post house with the rest of the people. But as soon as I entered the door, I saw someone coming to report, saying that the leader of the E-shaped team had just come, and only said that he wanted to find the commander and report an urgent matter.
Seeing that the commander was not there, he refused to explain the reason to others. After waiting for an hour, he did not wait for the commander to return, so he left a letter and went out again.
"Driving Langzhong" didn't dare to slack off, and opened the letter left and right to see.
There were only a few short sentences in the letter, saying that this was not the place to speak, and the big men in Tongcheng asked him to meet in the cloud tower tomorrow night.
"Driving Langzhong" asked whether Ming's subordinates came in person, whether he wrote the letter on the spot, and whether anyone else had access to the letter after that, etc.
The subordinates were cautious, and replied one by one, and indeed there was no abnormality in the person, and there was no abnormality in the letter. He had no more doubts.
It's a pity that Fang has been delayed for too long at Liu Zhu's place, otherwise he would have been able to ask many things now.
However, of course, the post house arranged by Liu Zhu is not a place to talk, so it is natural and reasonable to ask him to meet outside. It just so happened that I was going to look for him myself, so I would tell him all about it at that time. It doesn't hurt to postpone it for a day or two.
I didn't take it to heart anymore.
Not long after, the bodies of the four people who died in Tongcheng last night were also brought.
"Driving Langzhong" checked them one by one. These four people, together with the four people who died in Liu Zhu's mansion, although the location of the wounds was different, the murderer's method of wounding was basically the same.
He saw that his heart was on fire, but he didn't show it, and only asked his subordinates and the two members of the E-character team to be taken out for burial.
These messy things in Tongcheng should be dealt with in the same way, and Liu Zhi should be sent out of the city first.
However, the original arrangement had to be changed due to the loss of manpower.
"Driving Langzhong" didn't even have time for lunch, so he made a new arrangement. The twelve people who were originally scheduled to return to Beijing with Liu Zhu and others must not be changed in order to prevent His Highness from thinking that he was ineffective.
He could only propose some people who had entered the city as refugees for the time being. And he commanded that they should make arrangements for each of them.
As soon as the explanation was completed here, there was a mess on the side of Bibe Langzhong.
I don't know where I heard the news of Taishou's assassination, and with a few people in the team who can speak, I will go back to Lianzhou with him to live or die, and I will never go first with Liu Zhu.
"Driving Langzhong" at the beginning can still deal with them with a strong voice, but more and more people come to inquire, originally they are a group of more than 100 people, all live in this post house, here a trouble, not long after it will be known to everyone, everyone came forward to say a word to me, stirring up the post house is very lively, he is not easy to provoke the crowd anger, can only explain while dissuading.
In such a situation, he was completely free to make detailed arrangements for the follow-up, and was only disturbed and bored.
is also boring, as well as Master Sun in Tongcheng.
When I woke up this morning, a merchant who was walking in the house delivered a letter to the man who opened the door.
Jia Ding presented the letter to Master Sun, and when he opened it, it was the news from Liu Ruoyu.
It turned out that last night, Aunt Taishou's people went to the Yang Mansion to pick up a coffin, and Liu Ruobai, who was sent by Master Zheng, happened to hear some of their conversations.
Liu Ruobai knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly discussed with another Langjun, and this conversation happened to be heard by Liu Ruoyu again. Only then did he know that this group of people from Lianzhou still had some hidden purposes.
One of them is actually related to Master Sun.
Liu Ruoyu also felt that the matter was very important, so he found a way to entrust a merchant and sent the news to Sun's mansion.
