When Chang Hui's envoy left from the mighty West City Gate, the military Sima Wang Xian hurried to the general's mansion.

Two or three months ago, Jun Sima Wang Xian was given the important task by Huo Guang to secretly investigate the assassination of the Son of Heaven.

Although Wang Xian has found some clues in the past few months, the key to the problem is not because of Wang Xian's lack of ability, but because of an inexplicable fire.

Before this fire, Wang Xian spent more than half a month revisiting the route of the Yingjia group from Chang'an to Changyi.

After inquiring about the officials of the counties along the way, he learned that a cavalry of Yu Linlang was closely following behind the Yingjia Regiment, claiming to be the palace army of the Yingjia Regiment.

However, after Wang Xian's multiple investigations, it was finally determined that this cavalry unit was a fake Yu Linlang - they should be the gang of thieves who assassinated the Son of Heaven.

However, just as Wang Xian returned to Chang'an, preparing to find out who was behind the scenes, an inexplicable fire suddenly broke out in Guangluxun's document room, burning all the files of the previous months of troop transfer documents into ashes.

Wang Xian is a veteran of investigating the case, so he can only start from the peripheral joints such as the horse supervisor and the arsenal.

Unexpectedly, the clues related to these impersonated Yu Lin Lang were completely broken, and no trace related to them was found.

However, by coincidence, Wang Xian discovered something even more terrifying.

He hurried here today to report the matter to the general as soon as possible.

……

A moment later, Wang Xian met the general in Huo Guang's study.

In the past half a month, I thought that the 150,000 army was about to go on the expedition, so the military affairs of the General's Mansion were extremely busy, and Huo Guang rarely went to Weiyang Palace.

Although he did not enter the palace, Huo Guang still knew everything about what was happening in the court.

With Prime Minister Ren Gong and half of Jiuqing helping Huo Guang look at the court, there will be no chaos.

Huo Guang's study is not big, it happens to be in a small courtyard at the junction of the front office and the back house.

The layout here and the Shangshu Office in Weiyang Palace even hang a picture of Zhou Gong becoming a king, and every time he came to the study, Huo Guang had to stare at it carefully.

And when Wang Xian walked in, Huo Guang was looking at the painting hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back.

Wang Xian didn't dare to disturb, just stood at the door and waited quietly - no matter how urgent the matter was, he had to wait for the general to speak, this was the rule in the house.

It wasn't until after half the incense was burned that Huo Guang finally turned around calmly.

Wang Xian saw some dissatisfied expressions on Huo Guang's face, and he immediately understood what the reason was—he had been following the general for more than ten years, and he still knew a little about the general's temper.

So without waiting for Huo Guang to speak, Wang Xian immediately knelt down in front of Huo Guang and sincerely pleaded: "The lower officials are ineffective, and the murderer of the county official has not been found for more than two months, so please ask the general to surrender." ”

Huo Guang didn't answer immediately, what he wanted was the attitude of his subordinates.

After being silent for a moment, Huo Guangcai said: "You stand up and speak, this matter is very important, the mastermind behind the scenes must be very hidden, and all clues have been erased, and if you can't find out immediately, you can't be blamed." ”

It can't be all blamed, that is, there are still some blames.

Wang Xian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to continue to plead guilty, so he could only stand up immediately and say one word: "No." ”

Huo Guang didn't sit down, and Wang Xian naturally couldn't sit down either.

So, Shangguan and Xiacha stood and spoke like this, which was also a way for Huo Guang to express his dissatisfaction.

"Did you finally find out something when you came here today?"

"A month and a half ago, there was a fire in the document room of Guanglu Temple, which happened to burn all the backups of the troop transfer orders in the past few months."

Wang Xian said as he looked at Huo Guang cautiously, observing the other party's expression, until he confirmed that Huo Guang was not immediately angry, and then slowly told some clues he had found in this matter.

"The lower officials are incompetent, this matter can no longer be investigated here, those assassins are very cautious behind the scenes, and they have not left too many clues."

"Well, the old man knows, do you have anything else to tell?"

Huo Guang's eyebrows showed nine points of indifference and one point of displeasure, if Wang Xian's answer was "no", then his future in the Great General's Mansion would be completely over - the war is imminent, I don't know how many people will make meritorious contributions, and there are naturally many people who can fill his position as a military commander.

Fortunately, Wang Xian found out something else, which he thought could be used as a credit - or bargaining chip for himself to stay with the general.

"Although Wechen did not find out the root cause of the assassination of the county official, he did find out some other things."

"What?"

"When the lower officials went to the arsenal to check, they found that since the beginning of this year, Yu Lin Lang and Qi Menlang have reported some more weapons, four or five times more than the weapons reported by the Northern Army."

After Wang Xian said this, he reported the number of various weapons he found one by one.

Huo Guang's brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

If the southern army reported only a few more weapons than the northern army, then the southern army can still be used as a reason for its diligent training, but in just seven or eight months, it is several times more, which is outrageous.

Huo Guang has been in charge of the military affairs of the Han Dynasty for many years, so he naturally knows that there may be a trick in it, which is nothing more than someone taking out weapons and reselling them.

Yu Linlang's Zhonglang will be Huo Yu, and the Zhonglang of Qimenlang will be Huo Shan - who of them is related to this matter, I'm afraid it won't sound good to spread it.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang's face had become nine points gloomy and one point indifferent.

"Tell me what else you've found."

"No." After Wang Xian finished answering, he thought about it for a while, and then said carefully: "The lower officials have checked, although there is no real evidence, but these weapons that disappeared inexplicably may have gone to the north." ”

As soon as Wang Xian's last two words came out, the nine points of gloom and one point of indifference in Huo Guang's eyes suddenly melted together, casting a very murderous aura, stabbing at Wang Xian like a sharp blade.

If the eyes can kill, then Wang Xian is already a dead man at this moment.

However, Huo Guang is not only domineering, but also good at covering up.

The moment before Wang Xian raised his head, Huo Guang had already reined in all the murderous aura.

"Are you sure?"

"The lower officials are not sure, and there is no evidence, but eight or nine is not far from ten." Wang Xian lowered his head again.

Huo Guang didn't speak again, he clenched his fists, and thought silently, this matter is very important, and if you don't do it, the whole family will be destroyed.

That shaft is simply dizzy!

Accountability is something to be done in the future, and at this moment, Huo Guang has to confirm another thing first.

"Have you ever mentioned this to anyone else?"

"I didn't mention it." Wang Xian said.

"Okay, you have done a good job in this matter, although you have not found out the real culprit behind the assassination of the Son of Heaven, but it is also a great achievement to find out about this matter, there are many vacancies in the court now, and the old man will find a chance to protect you."

Wang Xian was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Huo Guang.

However, what Wang Xian said just now was not the truth, not only Huo Guang, Wang Xian also knew that this matter was very important, so he still had a back hand, and this back hand was the general Huo Guang, of course he couldn't say it to him.

"You step down first, the old man will take care of this matter."

"No!"

After thanking him again, Wang Xian happily left the general's study, he didn't know that Huo Guang's eyes were staring at his back.

After Wang Xian walked away, Huo Guangcai came to the door, summoned a trustworthy door pavilion, and said to him: "Find Huo Yu immediately, the old man wants to see him at this moment!" ”

"No!"

After the hall left, Huo Guang did not sit down, but once again set his eyes on the picture of Zhou Gong Chengcheng on the wall, he seemed calm, but on the face covered by the beautiful hair, it was the anger and vibration that was forcibly suppressed.

Litong Hun is an unforgivable capital crime!

Among the big Hans, if anyone dares to do this, if Huo Guang knows, then he will immediately issue a warrant to let the southern army go to arrest and encircle them, and then let them not even see the sun tomorrow.

However, Huo Guang can only endure his anger at the moment, because this person who is familiar with the Huns is likely to be his only son - Huo Yu!

Huo Guang was very dissatisfied with this only son, but in this dissatisfaction, he felt a little sorry.

For more than ten years as an assistant, Huo Guang regarded Emperor Xiaozhao and today's son as his own sons, and he has always taught him carefully, but he neglected to discipline his son, so he could only teach him to Huo Xian to discipline.

Huo Xian is good at everything, but he is too short-sighted.

Therefore, Huo Yu became more and more arrogant, and the little Yulin Zhonglang General sometimes didn't even pay attention to the three princes and nine qing.

However, arrogance is arrogance, how can you do the thing of the Huns?

Doesn't this put Huo Guang on the fire of injustice and roast?

If he was not Huo Guang's only son and the only bloodline of the Huo family, then Huo Guang would definitely kill him on the spot and throw him into the moat of Beicheng Guo.

But if that didn't exist!

Huo Guang really did that, not only would the Huo family cut off the bloodline, but Huo Xian would also be like a stranger to himself, and then his wife would really be separated.
