Chapter 129: Mountains and rivers are poor, and there is no way out
Although Yu Wenyao knew that Xiao Erye and Xiao Wenjun did not deal with each other, after all, they were both members of the Xiao family, and their desire to guard against others was indispensable. I thought that this Second Master Xiao came this time, it would be Xiao Wenjun's intention, but according to Second Master Xiao, the grievances and hatreds between them and Xiao Wenjun were no less than their own.
This time, brought by Xiao Erye, it can be described as a great gift for Yu Wenyao. Although he has subdued many of the prince's secret forces, most of them are inconsequential characters. The first is their asset table, which can be quickly realized at present, but only 1.2 million taels.
But what Yu Wenyao values is the second list, which lists in detail the secret forces of the eldest prince, and the hidden depths are so deep that even Yu Wenyao is dumbfounded.
"Second master, you don't have this list, is it true?" Even Yu Wenyao couldn't believe it, it turned out that this was the confidence of the eldest prince to dare to rebel! If you can take all the people on the list for your own use, you will have a few more chances of winning on the throne.
Yu Wenyao frowned slightly, and also saw some clues, most of the officials on this list were middle and low-level officials, above the third grade, and there were only a few people. However, the list is also weighty.
"The Three Princes are clear! It's not that the lower officials deliberately concealed it, but those high-ranking officials were all very hidden, and they were all the eldest prince who came and went in person, and the lower officials knew very little, let alone dared to speculate. ”
Second Master Xiao is a smart person, and he also hides some thoughts. This list is actually incomplete, and most of them are officials who have been raided. This is just throwing bricks and stones, if Yu Wenyao can really look at himself, it will not be too late to give it after joining it and gaining trust.
The two sides hit it off, which made Xiao Erye feel a lot more at ease. However, Second Master Xiao's pride didn't last long. With Xiao Wenjun's personality of revenge, he has already been written into Xiao Wenjun's death register.
Moreover, with Yu Wenyao's cautious and subtle character, even if Second Master Xiao handed over all his net worth and life to him, it would be impossible to gain the complete trust of the other party, it was just his own wishful thinking.
……
Not long after, under Yu Wenyao's order, Gong Weisi's small actions against Xiao Erye had all been stopped, as if they had been completely whitewashed.
And Xiao Erye's original colleague was not as unbearable as he imagined, and he would confess his companion, and he has always been safe.
And Xiao Wenjun did not stop the movements in her hands, although she has revenge, she never kills innocents indiscriminately. However, the case of the disappearance of his parents was strange, and the key figures, except for the second uncle and aunt, could not speak, and it was a stalemate for a while.
Until this day, He Hong suddenly came to report: "Master! The subordinates finally found some clues, maybe it is the breakthrough in this matter! ”
"Tell me about it!" Xiao Wenjun has been investigating this matter thoroughly these days, and he has long been anxious, and he is very happy to hear it.
"When King Lanling disappeared that year, the deputy general sent troops to search for it without success, so he had to draft a front-line passage and explain the situation to the officials." The Wenyuanfang run by He Hong really played a role.
"However, the deputy general died suddenly on the way back to Beijing to report on his work, and it is absolutely impossible to find him to understand the situation!" The clue was broken here before, which made people unhappy.
"Although the lieutenant general has died, it seems that he died violently, according to what his subordinates inquired about, this matter has another mystery, before the lieutenant general set off, foresaw the accident that he might encounter on the road, so he explained the matter to a subordinate, if an accident occurs, he will act at the opportunity."
"So, you heard from that subordinate?" Xiao Wenjun actually has a glimmer of hope for the disappearance of his parents. Although they have experienced a lot of battles, every time they hear the news about them and get closer to the truth, they become more and more uneasy.
"Master, this subordinate is a familiar person!" The smile on He Hong's seemingly immature face seemed to be asking for credit.
"Who is it?" Of course, Xiao Wenjun saw He Hong's thoughts, and kicked him directly.
"Jiang Zhixing!" He Hong said.
"Jiang Zhixing? I don't know anyone like that! Xiao Wenjun combined the memories of the two lives, and he couldn't piece together a man named Sun Zhixing.
"This was his name back then, and after the deputy general had an accident, he changed his name and surname and took his mother's surname." He Hong added, but an image has gradually emerged in Xiao Wenjun's mind, which is the commander of the Gong Wei Division.
"It's Sun Zheng! The commander of the Arch Guard! He Hong finished speaking triumphantly, but found that Xiao Wenjun's face was indifferent, as if he had already guessed everything.
"Sure enough!" Xiao Wenjun nodded, she had heard of Sun Zheng's life experience from Wang Jiuyuan:
It is precisely because of the border in the northwest, repeated military exploits, and the mother's family has some power in the court, after returning to the capital, he got an errand in the Gong Wei Division, although it is not a step to the sky, it is also considered to be a step by step, until recently, he became the head of the Gong Wei Division.
"It seems that the master must have some understanding of this person!" He Hong reminded: "However, according to the information found by his subordinates, this Sun Zheng is somewhat similar to our Xiao family, he does not participate in the struggle between party members, and is only loyal to the emperor. ”
"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many eyeliner! One wrong step, one wrong step! If you make a mistake, even if you can get a short period of glory, you will eventually usher in destruction! Everybody knows, but everybody wants to bet! Xiao Wenjun muttered to himself.
"Along the way, others don't know, but your subordinates can see clearly, you have always been not afraid of power and insisted on your heart, why did you hesitate and shrink in the face of Xiao Erye's affairs, are you afraid?" In the past few days, He Hong has seen Xiao Wenjun's subtle changes, and he couldn't help but remind.
Xiao Wenjun's heart was like being struck by lightning, and Wang Jiuyuan's shadow flashed in his mind, and he didn't explain much, and after a long sigh of relief, he returned to his former appearance like a living Yama.
"He Hong, prepare a sedan chair! Go to Sun Zheng's house! ”
……
In the past few days, Sun Zheng has been bedridden due to serious injuries. He received the emperor's personal permission, and the hospital arranged for a doctor to take care of his injuries full-time.
However, with his gaining power, many officials and colleagues have begged him one after another, and there are not a few people who ask him to do things, and it is not easy for a military attache of a low grade to receive such treatment.
But he had witnessed with his own eyes that Xiao Daoyuan's sudden disappearance, the death of the deputy general, and the conditions at home were not too bad, so these thoughts dissipated a little.
So he warned his subordinates that from now on, all visits will not be seen. When everyone saw Sun Zheng, who was so unreasonable, they rushed to tell each other, and it was a lot cold for a while.
For a few days, except for Wang Jiuyuan's usual work report, there was no one who visited, and Sun Zheng couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart.
"Master, the Lord of Lanling asks to see you!" The butler came to report suddenly.
