In the inner hall of the state capital, Sima Xiaonan looked at the corpse of the imperial history that was secretly sent here, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated.

If he was a little unimpressed with the entry investigation of the imperial history before, then now he can't help but care about it anymore. Yushi died in his rule, at least he was careless about things, so that bandits were rampant in the territory, and at worst, it is possible that he himself instructed his subordinates to kill Yushi in order to conceal the evidence of the crime.

In short, no matter what kind of situation the court decides, the punishment that ultimately falls on Sima Xiaonan will not be light. If someone wants to take advantage of the problem and impose sanctions on him, then this matter is tantamount to a catastrophe for him!

The fortunate thing in the current misfortune is that because the incident happened in an official warehouse that is not open to the public, and it was already night when the incident happened, the news has not spread for the time being, and Sima still has a little time to remedy the trouble.

But compared to this good news, there is another desperate bad news, that is, the thug who slashed and killed Goshi escaped after committing the crime and was not caught red-handed.

"The official warehouse is small and closed, how can there be thieves lurking in it? After hurting someone, you still escaped without a trace, you and other guards really deserve to die!"

Sima Xiaonan pointed to several subordinates in the hall who were related to the matter and scolded angrily.

These subordinates were all depressed and did not dare to raise their heads, and they all silently endured the scolding of the lord.

"Things are very, there must be demons! Cangcao Zheng Ziyun was still in the office before, but now he is gone, as if he has a foresight. Even if we dig deeper into the rest, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get to the root of it!"

Sima Xiao's henchman and lieutenant soldier Pei Zao soon found out that the key person in charge of the official warehouse was not there, and said in a deep voice.

Sima Xiaonan's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he scolded again: "Could it be that this dog thief trapped me? But what good will it do him?"

Although Sima Xiaonan served as the assassin of Northern Yu Prefecture, not all the officials of the state capital were his personally selected staff, and some of them served in the state capital early in the morning, and they were often representatives of the powerful clans in the state. For example, Zheng Ziyun, the Cangcao who joined the army and was scolded by Sima Xiao, was a member of the Zheng clan in Xingyang under the rule of Northern Yuzhou.

As a deep-rooted clan in the county, the Zheng clan in Xingyang also needs to obtain the support of these clans in order to exercise their powers and handle state affairs normally. Therefore, after he entered the state, he did not revoke his position, but he did not expect such an accident to happen.

Although it is not yet certain what the problem is, there is no doubt that Zheng Ziyun, Cangcao, is the most suspicious of joining the army. And Sima Xiao couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head, he had no grievances with the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he was also courteous and cared for after entering the state, why did Zheng Ziyun frame himself?

"Please dispatch the state soldiers as soon as possible, go into the countryside to capture Zheng Ziyun and his relatives, if they escape from it, once the court investigates it, it will be even more difficult for me to defend myself!"

Since he found a suspicious object, Sima Xiao was embarrassed and even ordered to say that he would take himself out first, no matter what, he was really worried that someone would take advantage of the topic and slander him.

There are usually two military forces within a state, one of which is the men and horses sent by the imperial court, usually led by the governor of the town. The other is the state and county soldiers, which are the armed forces in the state and county, and are dispatched by the assassin to maintain law and order in the territory.

After hearing this, Pei Zao shook his head and said, "If it is really done by Zheng Ziyun, I'm afraid the inside story is not so simple. Xingyang Zheng family is from an unusual villager, and the lord is now in a lot of uneasiness, if he rashly makes trouble but it is difficult to control it, not only can this matter not be determined quickly, but it may also leak out.

If the rest of the imperial history goes out and returns to the country, and the imperial court sends another elite man into the state, things will definitely get even more out of control! At the moment, it is urgent to control the rest of the imperial history as soon as possible, and then think about how to remedy it."

Sima Xiaonan was not a shrewd and capable person, but suddenly encountered such a change, and his heart was already in chaos, plus Pei Zao was his father's master of the house in the old years, and now he is his subordinate official, and they also have a deep affection for each other, so they are convinced by Pei Zao.

When he heard Pei Zao make this suggestion, he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the current plan is to control the other imperial histories as soon as possible, and not let them abscond out of the city, and fight for it."

Time will remedy. It's just that now that they are all protected by the people of the town, can they control it?"

"There are 2,000 state soldiers outside the city, and there are hundreds of henchmen of the lord, and if you suddenly attack while they are undecided, you will definitely succeed!"

Pei Zao saw that although Sima was interested in eliminating difficulties, he was still hesitant, so he issued another voice of advice to strengthen his confidence.

"Then, I ask the lieutenant soldiers to quickly gather men and horses for me and carry out this matter. The lives of my family are all paid for by the soldiers, and I live in the house to wait for the soldiers to send back the good news!"

Sima Xiaonan really trusted Pei Zao, and directly handed over all his talismans to the other party, asking him to act on his behalf, and he himself was really timid, and he didn't dare to leave the house in person.

Pei Zao had already understood Sima Xiao's character, and he didn't care about it, and after receiving the order, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "My lord, please live in the mansion in peace, it will only take a few hours, and good news will come back!"

The reason why he is so confident is, of course, because he has been prepared. Sima eliminated difficulties with an aristocratic and elegant style, and many tedious state affairs were handed over to Pei Zao to do it for him, and he also used this to manage a lot of personnel that even Sima Xiaonan didn't know much.

When Pei Zao went out of the city with the talisman in hand, there was already a group of people waiting in the dark outside the city, and when he saw Pei Zao walking out, the leader of this group immediately strode forward and shouted in a low voice: "Pei joined the army, he has been waiting here for a long time!"

If Sima was present, he would definitely be able to find that this person had officially reported to Zheng Ziyun, who had disappeared from Cangcao. Pei Zao had told him that he had disappeared without a trace, but now he was not surprised at all when he saw the other party, and walked in front and said in a deep voice, "The personnel are ready?"

"I sent out the conveners after receiving Pei's order to join the army, and now we have collected more than 1,300 elite soldiers, and they can be put into battle at any time!"

After hearing this, Zheng Ziyun hurriedly nodded yes, and even introduced a young man behind him to him: "This Langjun, Pei joined the army in the past, and he was introduced as a lowly brother at that time, although the truth is also the case, there is still something else to hide. This Lang Jun is indeed a lowly subordinate clan, but he is also a strong breath under Zheng Hussar in Xiangcheng of Wei State."

Pei Zao's face immediately turned grim when he heard this, and he hugged his fists at the young man and said, "It turns out that it is the tall feet of the Xiangcheng Gongmen, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful!"

The young man is Zheng Quan, the son of Zheng Wei, the general of the Western Wei Dynasty, because Zheng Wei is now sitting in Xiangcheng in the south, Zheng Quan often goes in and out of Xingyang Township to contact personnel, and he also met Pei Zao by chance at Zheng Ziyun's house in Tiger Prison City.

"Pei doesn't have to be polite to join the army, I am really sorry for the inconvenience of meeting him a few days ago and being honest. But now that he is willing to join the army and return to the court, it is really admirable. The father of the family made a certain person to cooperate with the act, and he also expressed his attitude and never gave up! As long as we wait for this time to gain the city, reinforcements from Xiangcheng will arrive in no time."

Zheng Quan also returned the salute to Pei Zao with his fists, and opened his mouth to appease him.

When Pei Zao heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he was very happy and said, "Lord Qi is cruel and unkind, and the people of the country are full of fear and suffering. My lord was also deeply distressed, and he did not have the idea of going west to righteousness in private, but because it was still difficult to give up, Master Sima was difficult to make a decision on this person's accident.

This time, the imperial court sent the imperial history to force, and the lord still saw that he was unclear and thought of luck, so I could only make my own decisions and help him make a decision. I just hope that after returning to Wei, Tang Gong Li Dacheng will be able to be benevolent and sheltered, so that I will not regret what I have done today!"

"Tang Gong treats the soldiers magnanimously, and meritorious service will be rewarded, if the plan here is successful, Pei will be able to join the army for the rest of his life!"

After Zheng Quan heard this, he said again.

There were 2,000 state soldiers outside the city, plus more than 1,000 elite soldiers brought by Zheng Quan and Zheng Ziyun, under the guidance of Pei Zao, they quickly entered the Tiger Prison City under the cover of night.

They want to control the city in one fell swoop, in addition to controlling the imperial history and his party from Yedulai, they also need to control the town and the garrison forces under their control. Since Tiger Prison City itself is not a military town, the daily garrison is only more than 2,000, and more than 500 people were taken away by the imperial history before, and there are hundreds of guards left in the town and city government, plus the scattered defenders in various parts of the city and the people who live in the rotation of rest, it is all the armed forces in the city.

With the cooperation of Pei Zao and Zheng Ziyun, the people who entered the city first took advantage of the unpreparedness to control the defenders of the city gates, and then attacked the Zhencheng Mansion and the Imperial History Army respectively

Battalion.

Due to the gathering of armored soldiers in the Zhencheng Mansion, there was a not fierce battle, and Fu Jingyuan in Zhencheng was still waiting to fight to the death in armor, but when he saw a burly general suddenly rushing out of the enemy team, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he immediately stared at the other party and exclaimed, "Are you a human or ......a ghost?"

Dongfang Lao was too lazy to talk nonsense about the other party, and when he was shocked, he slashed down with a knife, and immediately killed the former old man on the spot. With the death of the Governor, the rest of the recalcitrant enemies surrendered.

As for the Imperial History Camp, the battle was going to be smoother, and under Pei Zao's personal attack, the Imperial History and his entourage were quickly captured.

It was difficult for Sima to fall asleep this night, and he finally stayed up until dawn, when he saw Pei Zaixing, who was wearing a blood-stained robe, enter the hall, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?"

"Before the lord's order, the imperial history has been captured, and the town of Fu Jingyuan will be killed in the military palace!"

Pei Zao reported to Sima that things were going so smoothly, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

"Town, town? Why do you want to kill the town?"

When Sima Xiaonan heard this, he immediately looked stunned, looked at Pei Zao and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Zhencheng is also harmful to my heart?"

"It doesn't matter whether the town is there or not, it's just that the humble post has planned a bright future for the lord. Instead of worrying about living in the country, it is better to make a decision and find another life! The old Gao Zhongmi surrendered to Wei according to the Tiger Prison, and then Li Boshan took the throne in Kansai. Now that the lord embraces his hometown and dedicates the city to vote, the Wei country is thirsty for talents, can he not meet him?"

Pei Zao explained in front of Sima to eliminate difficulties.
