Another night passed peacefully, as in every night before, and nothing happened.

After dawn, the gate of Luoyang, which had been closed all night, was opened again and again, allowing all kinds of people from the south to come and go in and out of the city, and also made Luoyang City regain its liveliness and prosperity.

The guards sometimes inspected the belongings of those who entered the city to make sure that there was no concealment of the gate tax, and sometimes a simple interrogation of a passer-by.

This continued until the late afternoon, and then things took a turn for the worse.

On the south gate, there have always been a pair of eyes carefully staring at the flow of people entering Luoyang, screening everyone's appearance and dress.

At this time, he finally saw the target in a group of people waiting to enter the city, a middle-aged man who looked like an ordinary foot merchant.

With his guidance from above, the soldiers below quickly stepped forward and surrounded this person at once, and the bright knives and guns were all lit up, which put enough pressure and made the other people around panic, exclaiming that they hurriedly moved to the side.

This one also immediately showed a panicked look, but his mouth was still trying to argue: "What are you doing here?" I'm just an ordinary businessman, I haven't broken the law, and I haven't carried anything prohibited, so how can you treat me as a thief......"

"Wang Guangliang, if you are an ordinary businessman, how many other unusual businessmen are there here?" A melodious voice came from inside the city gate, with a hint of ridicule.

Then under Wang Guangliang's uneasy and stunned gaze, the person came to him with a sneer: "Do you, the steward of the Wang family, really think that what you have done can be hidden from the people of the world and our general?" ”

After that, he didn't bother to argue with it anymore, and directly ordered: "Take it down, search your body!" ”

The soldiers who had already surrounded the people did not hesitate after receiving the orders of their superiors, and immediately went up, pressed the people to the stone wall at the city gate, and then several hands went up and down together, touching him clean.

After a while, someone excitedly shouted, "Here we are!" ”

I saw that the soldier tore open Wang Guangliang's coat, and stripped off a layer of his inner clothes, and when he tore it again, he saw a fluttering letter falling from inside.

Wang Guangliang, who was forcibly stripped of only one underwear, trembled there, and his face turned even pale. But I don't know if it was caused by panic or blown by the cold wind.

This letter, which he carefully hid in the middle coat compartment, was easily searched.

He thought that he had acted cautiously enough, not only in disguise, but also in disguise, in his name, and in the eyes of the other party, it was clearly a joke.

And this letter was quickly delivered to Zhu Zan, who was still sneering in front of him. It wasn't until he hastily swept the content above and confirmed that it was correct, that the last trace of concern in his heart quickly dissipated, and he immediately sneered: "Take him to see the general!"

"Also, on my orders, mobilize 2,000 people from the Dongcheng garrison camp, and surround Guirenfang for me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the general's order!"

The subordinates around him immediately responded loudly, and then all the soldiers and horses quickly moved, either escorting people or forming an army, but the people around them looked puzzled and panicked.

Only a few people with bright minds have understood the problem through the sporadic words at this time.

Is the general going to attack the Wang family? Because that Guirenfang is where the Wang family lives now, it is planned not to let anyone from the Wang family escape.

……

Just when everything was in full swing, in the main hall of the General's Mansion, Sun Ning and the father and son were sitting opposite each other, waiting for the news from the front to come back.

Last night seemed to be peaceful, but in fact, it was a sleepless night for Zhao Guangxiao.

When the two sons came together and bluntly told Wang Gaotong that the three families actually intended to collude with Kaifeng and meddle in the Luoyang affairs, Zhao Guangxiao felt unprecedented palpitations and anger.

If all this is true, the consequences are quite serious.

And if it's fake, what should be done with these two foolish sons?

For the sake of the overall situation, he could only keep his two sons by his side first, and then call Zhu Zan, who was trustworthy and in charge of the affairs of the city gate, and asked him to bring "Zhao Qianzhe" to identify the person who sent the letter from the Wang family to the city gate to find out the person.

This is half a day.

During this period, the "father and son" seemed to be quite uneasy, and even now, none of them have asked for food, but they just communicate with each other from time to time.

"Qianhui, it is related to the internal stability of my Pingtian Army, are you really sure?" After being silent for a long time, Zhao Guangxiao finally asked his eldest son.

Zhao Qianhui glanced at Sun Ning, who was calm, and said softly: "I trust the judgment of the third brother, he will not lie to me, let alone my father." ”

"But where did they get the guts? Also, why did Qin Yude come to this troubled water because of one of their letters? Zhao Guangxiao still had some doubts.

To be honest, at this time, he didn't know whether he wanted this to be true or false.

"Father's mind and son understand, I don't want such a dispute in our Pingtian Army, but the facts are already in front of us."

Sun Ning's tone was affirmative, and he said slowly: "As for why they dared to ask Kaifeng for help, the only explanation is that they actually colluded a long time ago, and Qin Deyu had already promised them that if something went wrong, they would be rescued!" ”

Zhao Guangxiao had actually thought of this answer a long time ago, but he just didn't want to admit it.

Now that he pointed it out in front of him, his face became more and more ugly, so he could only snort and not say anything.

But Sun Ning didn't let him go, and asked again: "Then father, what if Qin Deyu really brought troops in the future?" How can we respond? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qianhui's eyes also fell on his father, waiting for him to give an explanation, and the embarrassment and entanglement on Zhao Guangxiao's face were even heavier, which was what made him feel more uneasy and tricky.

Compared with Qin Deyu, an ally with a similar identity to himself, Wang Gaotong's three families are really not a problem.

He now regrets a little, regretting that he didn't make up his mind two days ago, and directly handled the three things, which led to this chain reaction.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world, and time has not given him more hesitation to consider.

Because at this moment, the familiar footsteps had come quickly, and Zhu Zan appeared at the door of the lobby, and presented a letter with both hands with a solemn expression: "General, Wang Guangliang, the steward of the Wang family, really went to Kaifeng and brought back this letter from General Qin Deyu!" ”
