Chapter Forty-Six: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
"Xiaguan will tell you as usual!" In the snow and rain outside, the cold wind swept by, and Geng Huaizhong stood with his hands down.
Shizi Jian frowned, his heavenly court was slightly round, just a little thin, but he did have some innate nobility, and immediately said: "Say it!"
"Yes!" Geng Huaizhong lowered his head deeply and said in a deep voice: "The lower officials are secretly supervising the movements of the Fan Mansion, and the relationship between the field and the house is clear, but Fan Shirong, the second son of the Fan family, has a slight movement. ”
"Just now, before three o'clock, the king of Dayanguan went to Fan's mansion to accept the appointment of the second son of the Fan family!"
"Oh?" Wei Hou Shizi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "You continue, I'm listening." ”
"Yes!" Geng Huaizhong hurriedly agreed, and continued: "After the investigation of the lower officials, Wang Cunye and Hebo Fa returned from the Fa, and the Fan Mansion sent five hundred taels of silver and one hectare of fertile land!"
Geng Huaizhong paused and continued: "Also, it is Fan Shirong's person, who has gone out of the mansion many times and went to the territory of Yehou, but due to our limited surname, I can't find out what happened. ”
Wei Hou Shizi's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and there was a slight sound of "ding dong", and the whole hall was even more silent, making people dare not take a breath.
Wang Cunye went to the Fan Mansion, and there was nothing wrong with it, but considering that Wang Cunye was a person from the Dao Palace, there were some problems at this sensitive moment.
Also, Fan Shirong's people went out of the mansion to the territory of Yehou many times, so they were suspected of colluding with the foreign marquis.
Dao Palace, Waihou, Divine ...... Wei Hou Shizi was suddenly startled, thinking about something, and his eyes had a faint light.
What he said to his father yesterday was still smaller.
Indeed, even if the entire territory is not thriving now, it is still peaceful and harmonious, and there is indeed no disaster in this regard, but now the world, even if it is peaceful in the country, it cannot rest easy.
Since the Dao Law manifests the world, the ghosts and gods appear to the saints, the people's hearts and morale, and even the army are not the only reference standards, the Dao Palace, the foreign marquis, and the gods actually have the power to intervene.
Thinking of this, I remembered the plan I had set yesterday to "crack down on the grass and startle the snake" -- to force out the hidden dangers while the situation was still under control, and to see how the major forces reacted.
According to this charter, the first person to be suppressed is the Fan family, no matter what role Wang Cunye plays at this time, he may just be innocent, but at this time he made it up himself, but he was a suitable chess piece.
Thinking of this, the prince of Wei squinted his eyes, and coldly found a reason at random: "There is nothing wrong with the Fan Mansion deliberately wooing, and this Wang Cunye is also intentionally attached? This person is rewarded by me, but he colludes with the minister, it is really hateful, you pass on my message, mobilize the Split Heaven Pavilion, and kill this Wang Cunye." ”
"This Wang Cunye can come back from the Hebo Festival, it is obvious that his luck and martial arts are extraordinary, and he may even have spells in his body, don't be careless, the lion eagle fights the rabbit with all his strength!"
"Order all the four major stalls of Tsing Yi Pavilion to go out, converge with Zhang Mingyuan of the Heavenly Pavilion, and besiege and kill this person. ”
"After you kill it, carefully observe the Dao Palace, the Fan family, and the reaction of the territory to this matter, and report it to me at any time. ”
Geng Huaizhong listened to this order, his face was solemn, and his face didn't move: "Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!"
Once every ten years, hundreds of people and thousands of people were killed, what is the point of killing Wang Cunye?
However, the prince of the world was decisive and wise, and mobilized five masters to surround and kill at once, which really won the true intention of the yamen!
Geng Huaizhong took the dictation of the prince, went out of the Weihou Mansion, pulled out a good horse from the special stable, turned over and rode all the way.
After half an hour, he went out of the city gate and came to Lukou Town outside the city.
Lukou Town through the avenue, connected to the water transport wharf, the post road runs through, the pedestrian merchants walk in an endless stream, on the main road in front of the town entrance, there is a wine shop, specially for passers-by to rest and drink.
Geng Huaizhong turned over and dismounted, entered the wine shop, and said to the shopkeeper: "Cut three catties of beef for me, warm a pot of wine, the beef should be freshly slaughtered, and the wine should be bamboo leaves." ”
As soon as the words fell, the guy was stunned, walked over and said, "Wait a minute, the guest officer, I'll go and inform the inside." ”
This shop is a branch of Tsing Yi Pavilion, all this is a code, Geng Huaizhong nodded, sat on a chair and drank tea, although he is a deacon, many things still have to be done according to the rules.
After a while, the shopkeeper had already cut three catties of beef, and poured a pot of warm wine into a gourd, Geng Huaizhong saw it and asked, "How much silver!"
"Together with the gourd, a total of one or two pieces of silver!"
Geng Huaizhong nodded, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, threw it to the shopkeeper, carried the beef in his arms, and hung warm wine around his waist, walked out, turned over the horse and continued to gallop.
Hundreds of meters away, in the eyes of the horses, it was a matter of an instant, in a few breaths, it was already in the town, Geng Huaizhong turned over and dismounted, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat to greet him, his eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at the gourd, and walked up: "My lord, please show the token." ”
Geng Huaizhong was silent, and took out a token, made of bronze, with Geng Huaizhong's exclusive mark, the middle-aged man saw it, nodded slightly, and said, "My lord, come with me." ”
Led by this man, they went to a courtyard and saw that it was very large, there were ten rooms in a row in the east compartment, and more in a row in the west compartment, and there were about fifteen rooms, all of which were lit up, but they were silent.
The middle-aged man knocked on Tongbang, and suddenly there was movement in all the rooms in the courtyard, just for a moment, they all came out, these people were dressed in strange clothes, some of them were dressed in a gloomy face, some were dressed plainly, and there were all kinds of strange things, but most of them were normal.
Geng Huaizhong's eyes swept over the people around him, held the deacon token high in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The prince has an order, and he ordered me to come and announce it." ”
Seeing that it was the deacon of Tsing Yi Pavilion who came to announce the oracle, everyone did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, this is not kneeling Geng Huaizhong, but the kneeling son, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!"
After speaking, seeing that everyone was ordered, Geng Huaizhong's eyes narrowed, and he said to a lean man: "Ye Changzhi, you release the pigeon to contact the four major stalls and Zhang Mingyuan of the Heavenly Pavilion!"
After speaking, he said to a Taoist priest: "Li Hong, you make room for me to come out, I will stay here tonight and wait for them, as soon as they come, report to me immediately!"
The two of them said in a deep voice, and Li Hong led Geng Huaizhong into a room: "My lord, this is the newly swept house, what do you think else you have to order?"
Geng Huaizhong glanced around, this room was very clean, there was a neatly stacked quilt on a wooden couch, two candles were lit, and there were snacks on the west table, he nodded slightly, and said: "It's not bad, the four big stalls or Zhang Mingyuan are here, come directly to the room and call me." ”
When the Taoist priest heard this, he heard Geng Huaizhong say again: "Okay, you go out." ”
When Li Hong heard this, he was silent, closed the door and retreated.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Geng Huaizhong found a chair and sat down, took out the beef from his arms, touched the wine in the gourd on his waist, and with warm heat, he lifted the cork with one hand, drank the beef, and ate this wine, and after a while, he finished eating, wiped his mouth, and fell asleep.
After an hour, Zhang Mingyuan, the representative of the Mending Heaven Pavilion in this place, was distributed in the four major stalls not far from Weihou County, and all of them received the flying pigeon message of Tsing Yi Pavilion at the same time.
In the evening, the heavy snow has stopped, the ground is white, in the middle of the night, there is a sudden sound of horses galloping in Lukou Town, a neigh, only to see a person turn over.
This person is tall, with an eight-foot long body, striding off the horse, and there is a kind of momentum that the tiger can't stop when he goes down the mountain!
Someone outside the courtyard had already come out to answer him, and when he saw this person, he greeted him and whispered: "My lord, the deacon of Tsing Yi Pavilion has arrived, and now he is resting in a house, and I will wake him up." ”
Deng Wuchao nodded coldly, knowing that this matter was extraordinary, and he did not stop it, led the horse into the courtyard, entered the hall by himself, and waited silently.
Everyone knows his surname and doesn't care.
The higher the martial arts, the more different the surname is from ordinary people, among the four major files, Deng Wuchao is majestic and taciturn, known as the Crouching Tiger, Qin Zhao is unruly, withdrawn, and known as a lone wolf, Shiina looks loyal and good at talking, and is not in danger of being the youngest, the newly rising young man.
Geng Huaizhong was sleeping in the house, faintly heard the sound of horses galloping, hurriedly woke up, opened his sleepy eyes, and then saw a person from Tsing Yi Pavilion, came over to him and said: "My lord, Master Deng Wuchao has come, waiting for you in the main hall at the moment." ”
Geng Huaizhong nodded slightly, and said to this person: "You go and help me get a basin of washing water, I want cold water." ”
This person was originally from the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, he was also a good man in the green forest, but he didn't expect to let him go with washing water here, but at this time, he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
After a while, the man brought the washing water and retreated.
After a while, the sober Geng Huaizhong came to the main hall, and saw that Deng Wuchao in the four major stalls was already sitting and waiting, Geng Huaizhong smiled and said to Deng Wuchao: "Lord Deng!"
The four major files are not official positions, but they are the most elite backbones in the organization, and they enjoy the treatment of the nine rank officials, which is very courteous.
Deng Wuchao saw him say hello, nodded, and continued to sit, and the atmosphere froze like this.
However, Geng Huaizhong knew that Deng Wuchao was immersed in martial arts and had this surname, so he didn't care, so he found a chair to sit down and waited for everyone.
After a while, the remaining three had already arrived.
After a few more moments, I heard a voice: "I'm late, and I ask you for forgiveness." ”
I could see that it was a middle-aged man with a handsome face, with a few wrinkles, wearing a black robe with white accents, which was the doctrine of the Heavenly Pavilion.
Everyone present stood up to greet them, saying, "Don't dare!"
Seeing that the people had arrived, Geng Huaizhong stood up, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he said directly: "Since the people have arrived, then don't delay, on the orders of the prince, set off immediately, ambush and kill the array, and besiege and kill Wang Cunye." ”
Speaking of this, the eyelids of the people present moved slightly, Geng Huaizhong's eyes swept straight over everyone, his palms were lowered, pressed to the table, and said coldly: "This matter cannot be ambiguous at all, this person is rebellious, crazy, he has killed two catchers, more than a dozen tolerances, although you have an official status, but there will be no hesitation to attack you!"
"And it's related to the layout of the prince, don't be careless, the prince said, you want the lion eagle to fight the rabbit with all your strength - did you hear?"
There was silence in the main hall, and after a moment, everyone responded: "Yes!"
The voices of these five people gathered together, as if there were hundreds of people, seeing this, Geng Huaizhong no longer hesitated, beckoned to the back, and said: "In addition to the five of you, there will be a pavilion to cooperate, go!"
The five of them didn't say a word, and in a moment they went to the official road outside the city, which was the only way for Wang Cunye.
A fight, on the verge of breaking out!
