Chapter 818: The Poor Dagger (I)
It was almost dusk, in Luoyang City, the Imperial City, and the General's Mansion.
At this time, the atmosphere in the main hall of the front yard was finally relaxed because of the various information that kept coming.
With the end of the confrontation in the Guirenfang area, the local people quickly dispersed and became the most harmless ordinary people again.
The rest of the city remained calm until now, as if nothing had happened.
Although today's turmoil is not small, in the eyes of Zhao Guangxiao and other relevant people, this is the best result, at least it has not caused a real and irreparable chaos.
However, this does not mean that things can be easily turned over, on the contrary, for Zhao Guangxiao, this matter has just begun, especially for the disposal of Wang Gaotong's three families.
When they were escorted to Zhao Guangxiao, Wang Yujie and the others were stunned again, and they even vaguely regretted their previous decision.
Now that he has completely fallen into the hands of the other party, the life and death of himself and even the entire family is also in the thoughts of Zhao Guangxiao, the general.
The only thing that comforted them a little was that Zhao Sangongzi did not ignore it, he was still present at this time, and even gave them a comforting look when they entered the door.
"Wang Yujie, Wang Yutang, you are really bold, not only did you steal my military rations behind your back, but you still dared to think of resisting stubbornly after the incident, did you really dare to send you down?"
Without any foreshadowing, before and after the two were brought to him, Zhao Guangxiao had already directly reprimanded him, looking like he wanted to punish them severely.
Wang Yujie immediately argued: "General Mingjian, my Wang family did not do such a thing as stealing food. Although my Wang family is not too rich, I am not willing to risk being heavily punished by the general to do such unseemly things for the sake of that little money and food! ”
"Why, do you dare to admit it? We have already found out the inside story of the theft of food, and we dare to deny it! Zhao Qianhui immediately followed up and scolded, "Do you want us to bring Wang Xiu and them up to identify them?" ”
These words made Wang Yujie's faces change again, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, there was also Sun Ning, who said calmly at this time: "Father, eldest brother, about this matter, in fact, I also had an idea later. It's just the younger generation in the clan, can it really represent the family?
"Take this theft of food as an example, Wang Gaotong's three families do have children and nephews who are accused of being the masterminds of the crime, but this does not mean that they must have been instructed by their own family."
Zhao Guangxiao was slightly stunned, there is indeed some truth in this, if it is the head of a family, or a core person, he may be able to bind the entire family. But some of the younger children of the family, they don't have such a high status.
Zhao Qianhui disagreed: "Third brother, although what you said makes some sense, but this time there is a clear confession from Wang Xiu and several of them. But they made it clear that all this was done at the behest of their parents......"
"Big brother, this confession may not necessarily be true. What if it was a trick? What if they want to confuse the public and make us throw a mouse?
"Judging from the fact that this time almost caused the chaos in Luoyang, isn't it the best example?"
Zhao Qianhui frowned, he didn't expect his third brother to become so eloquent, and after a few words, he really made himself a little embarrassed.
Sun Ning's words were not finished, but he quickly looked at Zhao Guangxiao again: "Father, in my son's opinion, this time the matter is really strange everywhere, and it is completely arranged by someone who is guiding me to mess with Luoyang." ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Zhao Guangxiao immediately became vigilant and asked urgently.
"You think, this is happening so fast. From the time we found that the grain in the granary had been stolen and exchanged, to the determination of the culprit, to the three joining forces, and also to Qin Deyu in Kaifeng. This link is linked to one by one, and it is completely someone who is secretly pushing everything down, just to cause civil strife in Luoyang City.
"Add to that the apparently deliberate mass uprising of the people today, as well as the last-minute assassination...... To say that there is no conspiracy in this, I would not believe anything.
"This is clearly someone who wants to use this not too big thing to cause contradictions and suspicions between us and the Luoyang Hao clan, so as to cut off the foundation of my Pingtian Army here."
Sun Ning's words completely revealed the inner logic of this incident, not only made Zhao Guangxiao change color, but the two Wang family members who were on trial also showed panic.
If that's the case, this time I really escaped death.
This game is really big, and his own family can only be regarded as an outcast, and the real goal of the people behind the scenes is Zhao Guangxiao and the entire Luoyang.
After Zhao Qianhui's face changed, he chose to be silent.
If that's the case, it's going to be tricky.
He then took a deep look at Sun Ning again, when did his younger brother become so shrewd that he could even see through such a conspiracy and calculation by him?
And this time, he has made such a great achievement, won't the threat to his fight for the position of the prince become greater again?
It's a pity, I can't kill people with a knife, and let those chaotic people eradicate it, and now it's really a problem for my henchmen.
Compared with him, the second child's ambition that is completely on the surface is really not enough to see.
Zhao Guangxiao grimaced and was silent for a long time, then looked at Sun Ning and said, "Is there any basis for all this you said, or is it just speculation?" ”
"Naturally, it is the people who are in change today. The Wang family doesn't have such a big appeal, how can there be so many people who are willing to do everything for them?
"Obviously, there is a force far more powerful than them behind this."
"Who could that be? The Gao family and the Tong family? ”
"I don't think they have such power, or maybe they are just a part of it that is being used, a pawn of the people behind the scenes."
Sun Ning's words made everyone in the hall gasp again, what kind of power and courage this is, and they can actually regard these local wealthy families in Luoyang as chess pieces. is Zhao Guangxiao, the current master of Luoyang, and the general of the Pingtian Army does not have such means.
"Then you say, who will be the person behind it?" Zhao Qianhui was a little impatient.
Sun Ning smiled hesitantly: "Isn't this unclear?" In this case, there is not another force involved. And as long as Luoyang is in chaos, he will inevitably be the ultimate beneficiary - Kaifeng, Qin Deyu! ”
Seeing that Sun Ning finally threw out the most important point, this was his goal.
Some people died, but not completely......
