On the third pole of the day, in Yuhang, Wu County, and outside Ling Tong's mansion, there were constantly noisy slamming doors and scolding.

The butler knew through the door that the visitor was not good, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?" ”

"This is the Ling Mansion? Only then did the Wujun Palace capture a thief and steal the contents of the palace, and he confessed that all the stolen items were hidden in the Ling Mansion... Today, under the order of Zhou Qidu, the Lingfu is searched and arrested, and the Lingfu people must not obstruct it! ”

This is not to be said, the housekeeper panicked, and just wanted to ask the patriarch Ling Tong, but the door had been slammed open...

"You... Did you know that this is General Ling Tong's mansion? DID YOU KNOW... Who is my patriarch? Who is my old patriarch? My Ling family... But he has made great contributions to Soochow! ”

The butler was knocked over, got up and grabbed a sergeant and asked in a panic.

These soldiers did not care about this, and they pushed him down again.

This theft case alarmed Wu Hou, and Wu Hou specially ordered General Lu Meng and Zhou Xuncai to investigate together... Whoever it is? How could he stop Marquis Wu's edict? Get out of the way—"

…

…

In the bustling Yuhang County County Ya, more than 5,000 soldiers are listed in the officialdom around the county Ya, all of these soldiers are from the Lujiang Zhou clan, and they are the troops of Zhou Xun, all of them are tense and ready for battle.

Lü Meng and Zhou Xun walked out of the county office, both of them were wearing cloaks, and the two guards were holding swords beside Lü Meng and Zhou Xun.

Outside the layers of soldiers.

"Report-" A soldier quickly arrived, knelt down on one knee, and his voice came out, "I have broken into the Ling Mansion to search..."

Lu Meng asked, "Can you see General Ling Tong?" ”

"Nope!"

Lu Meng's tone was as cold as ever, he glanced around at Zhou Xun, and then looked at the song in front of him again, and said lightly: "If Ling Tong dares to move......

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhou Xun preemptively said: "If General Ling Tong dares to lead his clansmen to rebel against Wu Hou's will, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and the last general, as the cavalry captain of Wu Hou's personal title, should not ask whether it is right or wrong, and capture Ling Tong and the Ling clan together..."

"Good!"

Lu Meng looked at Zhou Xun again and his eyes became approving, and he waved his hand.

"Go to Lingfu—"

…

…

The door of Ling's house was wide open, and the officials drove straight in.

"Give me a careful search, all the boxes, cabinets, and the bottom of the bed must be searched, and all books and documents must be sealed! Anywhere, even a tree, not a single flower! ”

The soldiers rummaged around, and the entire Ling Mansion was thrown all over the place.

Even the armor and spear left behind by Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, fell to the ground and were trampled on.

Ling Tong, who was going to go to the mountains today to recruit those mountain people, rushed to the mountain when he heard the sound and said in surprise: "What are you doing? Do you know where this is? How can you be presumptuous here? ”

Zhou Xun had already rushed here and replied loudly: "Who cares where you are?" Marquis Wu ordered, I will wait for the edict to come, and continue to search—"

Ling Tong frowned, this was the first time he had seen Zhou Xun, he only felt that this kid was domineering, he looked at the other party carefully, "Who are you?" ”

"Riding Captain, Zhou Xun!"

"Zhou Lang's son?"

Before Ling Tong could blurt out, there were already soldiers pushing Ling Tong, shouting uncleanly: "Get out of the way." ”

didn't think about it, but was restrained by Ling Tong's palm and pushed to the ground.

Zhou Xun sighed lightly, "I have heard for a long time that General Ling is strong in martial arts, and he is the best among the younger generation of me..."

Zhou Xun was too far behind, defeated, and was subdued by Ling Tong, he secretly gritted his teeth, took out a dagger from his arms, and took Ling Tong directly, but was dodged by Ling Tong's split, and pressed Zhou Xun against the wall, and the cold blade was attached to his face.

"Gongzi Zhou, if it weren't for your deceased father's sake, you would have died-"

Zhou Xun wanted to resist, but after several fights, he could feel... Although the age difference between him and Ling Tong is only ten years, the gap in kung fu between them is simply a chasm.

Ling Tong, the first young hero in Eastern Wu, really deserves his reputation.

"Stop-"

At this time, Lu Meng rushed here and shouted loudly, he saw Ling Tong holding the iron blade with cold light on Zhou Xun's face, stepped forward and snatched the dagger, he looked directly at Ling Tong, "Gongji, search for Ling Mansion, this is Wu Hou's warrant, I and Zhou Qidu Lieutenant are both on order, if you hurt him, it is tantamount to betraying Wu Hou and Jiangdong!" ”

I blurted out this...

The surrounding clansmen of the Ling family shouted loudly: "Before the patriarch was not there, Wu Hou imprisoned my clan... This time he is so bullying, how can there be such a master in this world? ”

"yes... Wu Hou must blame the patriarch for blatantly contradicting him, so he blamed the patriarch for his private affairs! ”

The words of the clansmen came to Ling Tong's ears, which made his mood complicated and pathetic.

Lu Meng reminded: "Gongji, you have to think about it... You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! ”

This sentence was like the last straw that crushed Ling Tong, making him realize that the person who was going to search his mansion now was not Zhou Xun or Lu Meng, but Wu Hou Sun Quan!

He thought that Sun Quan would hold a grudge against him because of his confrontation, but he didn't expect... Revenge came so fast!

Call...

With a long exhalation, Ling Tong stepped forward slowly, and said with a smile: "General Lu's subordinates are merciful, Fang is the junior who is ignorant, and he has offended Zhou Xungongzi, and I hope that General Lu will not worry about the juniors." ”

As he spoke, Ling Tong got out of the way, he looked at Lu Meng's shining eyes, and said softly: "Since General Lu and Zhou Gongzi were ordered to search, then search for it, and don't dare to stop it!" ”

"Keep searching..."Zhou Xun gave an order, and the sergeants continued to rummage through the boxes and cabinets in the Ling Mansion, making a mess all over the place.

In the entire mansion, all the Lingtong clansmen looked at Zhou Xun unconvinced, looked at Lu Meng, and some of the older ones muttered distressedly: "You guys, they are all objects left by the old patriarch, don't fall!" ”

After a while, several large boxes were moved to the courtyard and moved in front of Lu Meng and Zhou Xun.

Lu Meng looked at these boxes and frowned, "That's all?" ”

"Yes!"

"Open! General Ben personally viewed it. ”

At this time, the Ling family realized that this was a box given by the patriarch to the "people of the mountains", and sacrificed themselves to pounce on the box, "This is the family wealth left by the old patriarch of my family to my son, and this must also be opened, how are you different from robbers?" ”

Ling Tong grabbed the clansmen and said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not afraid of shadows, it's just some money, let them check, let them check-"

The clansmen wept and said, "The patriarch is usually reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, and distributes all the gold and silver earned by military exploits to the poor families in the clan. This is the last money left by the old patriarch. ”

Ling Tong endured the pain, he originally wanted to use the money left by his father to recruit soldiers, and then go to save people, but now...

"Let him check, let him check!"

Lu Meng casually flipped the Ling family member who was blocking the box, and with a wave of his hand, opened the box.

The voice of the Ganling family crying loudly came out, "Patriarch, what's wrong with our family?" What's wrong? ”

Ling Tong resolutely spoke: "I, Ling Tong, am loyal to the sun and the moon, and Wu Hou wants to investigate, so let them investigate?" ”

At this time, Lu Meng had already taken out the gold and jade utensils in the box, and looked at each one carefully, at first he thought that it was just some exquisite daily utensils, nothing unusual, but suddenly his eyes were attracted by a huge golden glove.

He picked up the golden glove, felt something strange when he started it, looked at it carefully for a while, and pulled hard.

Unexpectedly, the golden glove was torn open, and a thin "wood carving" fell out of it, and the wood carving was full of small holes.

Lu Meng bent down to pick up the wood carving, and Zhou Xun had already exclaimed.

"—it's an engraving!"

Lu Meng was slightly startled, and then sneered, "I finally found it!" ”

…

…

The sun is in the west, and the twilight is scorching.

Zhang Liao stood in front of the gate of the Shouchun City Government Office and waited, Xu Chu went in to report, and walked out again.

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, but heard Xu Chu say coldly: "The prime minister is still gone, General Zhang go back!" ”

Zhang Liao was a little frustrated, but hurriedly raised his hand, "Zhongkang, you and I are loyal to the prime minister, they are all lifelong friendships, I bother you to report for me again, just say that Zhang Liao has something important to see." ”

"General Zhang, do you think this is a restaurant, General Zhang wants to see the prime minister, and the prime minister will meet you?" Xu Chu roared angrily, but suppressed his voice again.

After all, it's the love that has been saved for decades, and they are close to each other's hearts.

Immediately, his name for Zhang Liao also changed.

"Wen Yuan, just because you and I have been friends for a long time, I can't help you report again, do you know... Now that the wars in my Great Wei are blocked, and information is coming to the prime minister like rain, how many things does the prime minister have to deal with? How can you work hard for your children's affection? ”

"Wen Yuan, it's just a woman, as a prime minister, what kind of woman do you want? You change ten little girl's skins overnight, and the prime minister won't scold you, but what you want to save is Hua Tuo's female disciple? Hua Tuo is going to open the skull of the prime minister's axe? Have you forgotten? How did you get so obsessed with it? ”

Listening to Xu Chu's words, Zhang Liao's heart was full of mixed feelings...

How could he not know what he was doing?

But he, Zhang Liao, is a righteous person, he can't watch Zhuo Rong save his life, but he is in prison and will die at any time!

He... How could he, Zhang Liao, do nothing?

Helplessly anxious, Zhang Liao saw a drum in front of the Shouchun City Mansion, he strode forward, picked up the drumstick, and slammed it.

Xu Chu was suddenly startled, chased after him to compete with him for the drumstick, and scolded loudly: "Are you provoking the prime minister? You don't want to die? ”

Zhang Liao tried his best to shake him off, and said loudly: "I just want to see the prime minister"...

Immediately afterward, the drum continued as if no one was around.

Finally, Xu Chu still grabbed the drumstick with great strength, but the sound of the golden sound of the drum had already reached Cao Cao's ears in the mansion.

In the study, Cao Cao and Jia Xu both heard the sound of drums.

Jia Xu twisted his beard and said with a faint sigh: "I can't imagine that General Zhang Wenyuan is still a person with a true temperament. ”

"Or do you speak..."Cao Cao was not angry, closed his eyes and listened to Zhang Liao's drums, and said meaningfully, "If you are lonely, you will say that he, Zhang Wenyuan, is also like his previous masters Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, who will die at the hands of women!" ”

Jia Xu pondered for a while, but still met Cao Cao's gaze: "When does the prime minister plan to hide from General Wenyuan?" ”

This sudden sentence made Cao Cao pause, the corners of his mouth suddenly grinned, and the seriousness of Fang Cai was gone.

"Hahahaha..."

He laughed out loud, "Didn't Wen He let Gu conspire to calculate the Guan family's father and son?" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's gaze became deeper and deeper, and he pondered for a while before he opened his mouth: "Lonely thinking, the entire general of my Cao camp, except for Wen Yuan?" Who else will he Guan Yu put in his eyes? The more Lone ignores Wen Yuan, the more resolute Guan Yu's 'Absolute North Dao' will be..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao exhaled lightly, and his words continued. "This is the seventh time Wen Yuan has interceded for that woman, calculate the time, the tenth time, it will be the time to capture the cloud chief!"

Jia Xu arched his hand: "The prime minister's god counts..."

Cao Cao shook his hand, "Don't compliment me, you old thing, it's all your poisonous trick, but forget it, the other side... Soochow, Zhongde has already started to act, right? ”

Cao Cao's words just fell.

"Newspaper—"

Three black-clad school leaders broke into the study, and when they saw Cao Cao, they all knelt on one knee.

The first person reported first: "Prime Minister, Mr. Cheng flew back the news that everything went well... The letterhead has been intercepted by the soldiers of Eastern Wu, and Mr. Cheng has also persuaded the people in the Yuhang Mountains of Nawu County to hide the engraving in Ling Tong's gift box and send it to the Ling family's mansion! ”

With Cao Cao's jaw.

The second school leader reported: "Guan Yu has crossed the Han River with 30,000 soldiers and horses, stationed in the east of Pinglu City, south of Yuncheng, and west of Xinye City, covering Fancheng, Xu Huang, Pang De, and Yu Ban, the three generals, have already withdrawn from Fancheng first, and secretly placed them in Pinglu City, Yuncheng, and Xinye City respectively... Stand by for help. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Look, look, the fish is already about to be baited, and the lonely fishing net has been laid-"

The third school immediately reported: "The first batch of soldiers recruited by General Xiahou, 30,000 soldiers from the Central Plains are being sent to Wancheng... Training at Wancheng, there will be two groups of soldiers in half a month, a total of 70,000 people, and the follow-up 80,000 soldiers can also arrive within a month! ”

"Hahahaha..."

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled, his tiger eyes were a little more restrained, and he became much gentler, he smiled and said: "On conscription, on grain, it has to be Yuan Rang!" Pass on the orphan order, add Yuan Rang as 'Gao'an Township', and increase the number of people in Yiyi for him! ”

"No...", the school officials retreated one after another.

Hearing this piece of information, Jia Xu's eyes rolled, and he was about to open his mouth to sigh.

- "Everything is going well!"

But I haven't blurted out yet.

"Newspaper—"

It's another rumor, this time it's not an emergency report from the school government, but the Tiger Army...

It's Xu Chu.

Finally "drove away" Zhang Liao, Xu Chu was exhaling for a long time, but suddenly heard an even more terrifying report, he didn't think twice, and rushed immediately.

The expressions were a little frightened.

"Huhou is in such a hurry? What's the report? ”

With Cao Cao's inquiry, Xu Chu said truthfully: "I just intercepted a letter in the city, the messenger is from Jingzhou, he has already confessed, it was Guan Lin of Jingzhou who sent him to infiltrate Shouchun and send a letter to Wenyuan!" Agree to Wenyuan's action..."

Speaking of the word "action" at the end, Xu Chu's voice trembled.

This letter, this messenger is too appalling.

As he spoke, Xu Chu also handed the letter into Cao Cao's hands tremblingly.

Cao Cao unfolded it and saw that it was a letter agreeing that Zhang Liaoli should cooperate with the outside, rescue Zhuo Rong, and then escape from Shouchun City, signed by Guan Yu, and even the handwriting was very similar to Guan Yu...

Even the escape route is written in it, and the guards who have been paid off can be said to be very detailed.

It's just that after Cao Cao read the letter, "Hahahaha..."

He handed the letter to Jia Xu, who swept it through it, and he smiled.

Jia Xu said with emotion: "Most of these divisive plans are from Wu Hou's handwriting, right?" ”

Cao Cao bowed, "Lone wants to borrow a knife to kill people, I never thought that this Sun Zhongmou also wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, haha, if it is really Yun Chang, with the calculation of his fourth son Guan Lin, how can it be so full of loopholes... Sun Zhongmou, this is bullying orphans without a plan? Or is it accurate to calculate Lonely's suspiciousness? He's taking the loneliness too little! ”

"Yes, Cheng is never suspicious of loyal and righteous people!"

"Hahaha, Lone has always used people without suspicion, and suspects don't need to use them, but this seized letter, Wen and... Lone still has to do enough, and it is not in vain Sun Zhongmou's hard work... Hahaha..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao laughed again, and the previous laugh was to ridicule Sun Zhongmou for looking down on him Cao Cao and looking down on him Cao Cao.

The later laugh is to laugh at himself.

How could he ever say the phrase "giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou"?

This in itself is a joke -

…

…

The evidence of the crime found by Lu Meng and Zhou Xun has been presented to Sun Quan's eyes as soon as possible.

It was Lu Meng who personally drove the horse, and he was sent over seven hundred miles by land and water, and now he knelt on one knee in front of Sun Quan, especially tired. "The last general searched this engraving in the mansion of General Ling Tong, and it was originally with the seized letterhead, but if the letterhead is turned upside down, the sentence will come out, please take a look."

Lü Meng laid out the engraving and letterhead in front of Sun Quan's eyes.

Sun Quan picked up the letterhead and engraving, and read out the corresponding words through the small hole: "The situation has changed, the people in the mountains have been recruited, Wu Jun has rebelled, and the bottom of the kettle has been drawn——"

Thinking of this, Sun Quan's expression became gloomy.

With a "bang", Sun Quan slapped the letterhead and engraving on the table with one punch, and the pen and ink on the entire table were splashed.

In front of Sun Quan, there were also Gan Ning, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Song Qian, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, He Qi and other generals...

Hearing the words read by Sun Quan, all the soldiers were incredulous, and they all knelt down in unison:

"My lord, maybe it's a misunderstanding..."

"Yes, my lord, maybe someone is divided!"

"Ling Tong is the son of Ling Cao, the style of a national warrior, and the father and son are loyal and martyred..."

Lu Meng said angrily: "The letterhead was intercepted, the engraving was taken out from the Ling Mansion, according to the investigation, the day before the discovery of this engraving, Ling Tong had sent people to appease the people in the mountains, so calculated, Wu County rebelled, and the bottom of the kettle was not groundless!" ”

With Lu Meng's words, a cadre of generals wanted to explain to Ling Tong again, and they could find... The facts are in front of us, and there is no way to refute them.

In addition, there is also the appeasement of the people in the mountains, which matches the content of the letterhead.

Such a coincidence... Is it all accidental? Is it all a misunderstanding?

Just when everyone was silent, Sun Quan opened his mouth and said, "Misunderstanding? If it is a misunderstanding, this Ling Tong will ask for the Northern Expedition Shouchun four times? If there is a misunderstanding, he will openly confront Lone? If he misunderstood, he would have recruited the man in the mountain himself? Hmph..."

With a cold snort, Sun Quan's voice became more and more cold.

"Gu Cai doesn't believe in any misunderstanding, Ling Tong has defected to Wei, he was going to pick up the opportunity to take Wei and his clansmen to Nashouchun City! Now things have changed, and new directives have arrived... Want to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle? What a salary, what a villain in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty! ”

In the end, Sun Quan's tone had already gritted his teeth, and his eyes were about to split!
