Volume 1 Hedong Governor Post Chapter 020 Clues
As soon as the two of them left, someone entered Wei Xuan's room, it was Chen Zhong, who had come from Anyi, and Wei Xuan gave him seven days to investigate the assassination of Wang Yue and others before setting off for Yanchi. It was already a deadline, and Chen Zhong hurriedly came to the manor without finding Wei Xuan in the Wei Mansion.
After Chen Zhong entered the door, he handed Wei Xuan a bamboo slip, and then knelt on the ground like Du Zhong before.
Wei Xuan took the bamboo slip and looked at it seriously, but he looked like it was like this before, but later, his expression became more and more solemn. After finally reading the content of the bamboo slips, he glanced at Chen Zhong on the ground, and then looked at the bamboo slips again.
Then he put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at Chen Zhong sharply, and said, "So there is indeed someone in the Wei Mansion who participated in this assassination?" One committed suicide by poisoning and the other went missing, and the missing person came from Xiangling but did not know where to hide...... This is the conclusion that your White Tiger Hall has reached after seven days of investigation. ”
Chen Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at Wei Xuan, no wonder Wei Xuan was angry, it was not just seven days since the assassination time passed. If it weren't for Wei Xuan's insistence on continuing the investigation seven days ago, such a result might not have been obtained.
Seeing the anger in Wei Xuan's eyes, he hurriedly said, "The little one has already ordered all the members of the White Tiger Hall in Anyi to go out, and I think there will be new progress soon." The other minor one has already told the old hall master and asked him to send more men. ”
Wei Xuan frowned, and looked at Chen Zhong with a cold gaze, and Chen Zhong's pressure increased sharply. To be appointed as the deacon of the White Tiger Hall Anyi, who is mainly responsible for the specific affairs such as the secret protection of the Guardian Mansion on weekdays, in addition to being good, he must also be extremely smart. Wei Xuan only frowned and looked at the bamboo slip and listened to his report before, but he said that he had already told the old hall master to ask for additional manpower, and Wei Xuan had a taste of turning his face on the spot. This shows that Wei Xuan cares a lot about his own procedures, Wei Xuan is the acting hall master, Chen Zhong was ordered by Wei Xuan to investigate, but this deacon habitually thought of telling the old hall master instead of Wei Xuan, who assigned him a task!
Seeing Wei Xuan's cold eyes, Chen Zhong secretly complained in his heart, he could be described as a faint trick during this time! Wei Xuan gave him seven days to investigate and didn't press too hard, but the first thing he thought of after he found out that things were beyond his ability was the old hall master Wang Cheng.
Today, Wei Xuan was not satisfied with the results of the investigation, so he wanted to excuse himself, and after finishing speaking, he realized that the young acting hall master was sharp when they met for the first time that day. This habitual behavior of oneself greatly offended the authority of the hall master.
Seeing Chen Zhong like this, Wei Xuan said lightly: "Your Anyi branch will continue to investigate the existing clues, and send someone to investigate the whereabouts of Wang Yue and others." The last time someone from Luoyang came to inform Wang Yue and the others that they had left Luoyang a long time ago and had not returned to Luoyang afterwards.
I want to know how long ago it was, where were they from the time they left Luoyang to the time before the assassination, they had contact with those people, and when did they come to Anyi? Since there are Wei family's in-laws in Xiangling who betrayed the Wei family, it is still very likely that Wang Yue will go to Xiangling after the Taili. ”
Chen Zhong nodded again and again: "The small ones will be arranged for people to do it." I also asked the hall master to order Xiangling's side to cooperate. ”
Wei Xuan seemed to suddenly think of something and waved his hand: "Forget it, you have limited manpower, let's follow the clues to investigate first, and I'll arrange other things." ”
Chen Zhong was unwilling but didn't dare to argue, got up from the ground and retreated.
Chen Zhong's ability to do things really made Wei Xuan dissatisfied, of course, the main thing that made him unhappy was that Chen Zhong habitually went to the old hall master to ask for additional manpower. However, anger is anger, this matter still has to be investigated, although it is very likely that according to the ability of the White Tiger Hall, nothing can be found in the end, even if it is found that all these people in the White Tiger Hall are in battle, they may not be able to help Wang Yue and his Broken Sword Gate. Last time, the disciples brought by Wang Yue were killed by Tong Yuan, Wei Tong and others, but who knows how many disciples Wang Yue has?
Wei Xuan sat down on the edge of the bed in the room, thinking about the bamboo slips that Chen Zhong had given him just now. When Tong Yuan recognized Wang Yue's identity, the Wei family and the Taishou Yamen of Hedong County did not track down the assassin's whereabouts with great fanfare. Although according to Wang Yue and the others, if Tong Yuan didn't make a move, ordinary people wouldn't be able to find anything even if they searched the whole city.
But it was Tong Yuan who revealed Wang Yue's identity that made Weifu lose the traces of Wang Yue and others. And almost everyone agreed that Wang Yue was appointed by the Ten Standing Servants and even the Emperor!
Although the emperor in Luoyang did not give an explanation for Wang Yue's assassination of Wei Su, it was only to appease Wei Su symbolically worship Wei Su as a prince.
The emperor didn't have to or bother to explain, but the ten permanent servants still gave an explanation, at least which of the little yellow men who came to announce the decree had explained or hinted at it.
If you carefully speculate on Xiao Huangmen's tone, it is not difficult to hear a few key points, the first Wang Yue left Luoyang a long time ago, and the second Wang Yue did not return to Luoyang after the incident. Wei Xuan can understand that little yellow gate, the ten permanent servants can be described as majestic in Luoyang City, according to the style of several of them, even if Wang Yue is caught on the scene and confesses that the ten permanent servants are the murderers behind the scenes, they will not worry.
Of course, Wei Xuan was more inclined to the Ten Standing Servants and even disdained to assassinate a returning Tai Lieutenant, because they were not afraid when Wei Su was in power, were they still afraid that a person who resigned from his official position at home would write to the court? The reason why Xiao Huangmen said that may be to hint at something from the Wei family, maybe it is to fight for the ten permanent servants!
After such a long time, Wei Xuan was more inclined to the Ten Standing Servants and disdained to assassinate Wei Su. Of course, the emperor is even more impossible, when today's son is not a Ming Jun and does not care about his reputation, so if he wants to shut up the Wei family, he only needs a holy decree!
And Wei Su's ability to survive the assassination of Wang Yue and others was obviously beyond Wang Yue's expectations, and also beyond the expectations of the people behind Wang Yue. Although this is an attempted assassination, the logic of a certain detective can be applied to track down the murderer, and whoever benefits the most is the most suspicious.
Assuming that Wei Su died in the assassination that day, and Wang Yue slaughtered the core members of the Wei family by the way, then it must have set off a storm in the territory of the Great Han. Because today's Han Dynasty can actually be divided into three main forces, eunuchs, relatives and scholars!
The eunuch group was favored because of its proximity to the emperor, so they often acted very arrogantly, and even blatantly solicited bribes. That's how the grievances between Zuo Feng and Lu Zhi came about.
Lu Zhi almost lost his life because he was unwilling to be blackmailed by Zuo Feng. Think about how a little eunuch who preaches the holy decree dares to do this, a Zhonglang who is leading troops to suppress bandits will be imprisoned, and the little eunuch who blatantly asks for bribes does not need to bear any consequences.
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, who were the ten permanent attendants, may have been disgusted by Wei Su's recital. But it is not cost-effective to send a very sensitive person like Wang Yue to assassinate at the risk of being punished by the emperor.
You must know that the eunuchs who can become the emperor's most favored are naturally smart people, and they are also loyal to the emperor to a certain extent, because the emperor is the backer of their feet!
The group of scholars has always hoped that the king and the scholars will rule the world together. However, it backfired, especially after Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, many celebrities of the party were excluded from the rising sun twice. And today's relatives, General He Jin, is even more from a butcher, and he loves and hates scholars.
On the one hand, he had to rely on the scholars to check and balance the eunuchs, but on the other hand, he was never recognized by the scholars. Often mocked and ostracized. He Jin and He Miao brothers have no culture or scheming, so they can't play those who read.
Because in the three groups, although the relatives nominally control the military power of the empire, they are the weakest of the three.
The Shidaifu group controls public opinion, but it is not united. Some people relied on eunuchs again, and some people wanted to tie up their relatives to get on the throne.
If Wei Su, the representative of scholars, was assassinated by Wang Yue, a palace guard, no one would think that the emperor assigned Wang Yue to assassinate Wei Su. Then the Ten Standing Servants are the murderers behind the scenes. And there was also a motive for the Ten Standing Servants to send people to assassinate Wei Su, that is, Wei Su constantly wrote to the imperial court to accuse the eunuchs.
Then because Wei Su was assassinated by Wang Yue, the Shidafu group may start to fight with the eunuch group, so the relatives who benefit the most are naturally relatives! If you reasoned according to this logic, the master behind Wang Yue may be a relative. And although the general He Jin may not be able to command Wang Yue, He Jin's sister Queen can! In this way, the motives and abilities of the great general He Jin are all possessed.
There is also a possibility that the bitter trick staged by the scholar clique is to frame the relatives and let them fight in exchange for the relatives, and at the same time win public opinion to sympathize with the scholars. Then the only people who can drive Wang Yue in the Shiren Group of the Han Dynasty today may be the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family!
Of course, Wei Xuan also kept reminding that this matter may be complicated, and it cannot simply be taken as truth by saying that whoever benefits is the mastermind. Because there are a lot of crazy people in the court now, and as the history books say, there will be even more crazy things in the future, such as how to lead soldiers and horses from all over the world into Beijing in order to persecute too much, such as the eunuch actually killed the general He Jin in order to protect himself, and Yuan Shao took the opportunity to slaughter the court after He Jin was killed, and there are also all kinds of absurdities after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and Situ Wang Yun's serial schemes......
Wei Xuan didn't expect Chen Zhong to find out, and he didn't put his hope on the White Tiger Hall. What he thought was that since the princes of the court were about to go crazy and the world was about to be in chaos, what could defend the Wei family was a strong enough guard force.
This is also the reason why Wei Xuan decided to take in Du Zhong and others, although Du Zhong killed someone in his hometown, and the Wei family would have a little prestige loss if he sheltered him, but what he got for the Wei family may be a fierce man who can kill and repel the attack of a dozen or even dozens of people at a critical moment!
Wei Xuan actually had another purpose in taking in Du Zhong, that is, to attract more Hedong knights, Wei Xuan remembered that Xu Huang, one of the five good generals under Boss Cao, was from Hedong, but he forgot which county he was from and what his origin. I think that most of the people who can come out in this troubled era are light heroes like Du Zhong. If taking in a Eucommia can attract Xu Huang, it will make a lot of money.
As for Du Zhong killing people, the more Wang Yue killed people, he didn't see anyone who could help him, and even the emperor of the Han court tried to deal with him.
Wei Xuan specifically ordered Cypress to be responsible for recruiting light heroes, just thinking about buying horse bones. Of course, this kind of thing can't be carried out with great fanfare, after all, the Wei family is a famous family. So Wei Xuan still kept his distance from Du Zhong's companions.
Of course, all of this is based on the fact that these people are the guards of the Wei family, if one day he is pulled into the gang by Boss Cao and becomes a general, then he still has to be closer to his subordinates.
