The spies sent by Zhou Xiongqi reported that the direction of the outbreak of the civil unrest this time was from all directions, and there was no tendency to spread from a certain direction, which was no different from the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion.

It turned out that this Li Meng was very careful in doing things, and since the two wolf mountains set up troops, he put the yellow cloth in place as soon as possible.

Then they slaughtered all the local people, leaving no one alive, to prevent the looting of cloth in the area from being known, and then burned the town shop.

The yellow cloth was distributed among the armies, and the 5,000 men were led by ten capable men, each group of 500 men, and they marched in all directions of the Central Plains in a rapid march on the road. It was agreed that the operation would be available after two days.

Therefore, the news that Zhou Xiongqi's spies got was not satisfactory, and he did not find that the civil unrest broke out from the direction of Xiliang. And the town that plundered the cloth has been killed by Li Meng, and the corpse dyeing workshop has been processed, leaving no trace of it.

But even so, Zhou Xiongqi still felt a little strange about the sudden outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, not to mention that the interval between this date and the civil unrest in the east and west was too long, and it did not match the records of previous dynasties.

Let's just say that these people are so strong, they are all elite divisions, and the extraordinary combat effectiveness and organizational ability they show are extraordinary.

And the most puzzling thing is that in the past, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was all about coercing the rebellious people, and the rebel army would forcibly organize the local young and middle-aged people wherever they went. The number of people will snowball, and this is the terrible thing about the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

But this time, it is very strange that these rebels only looted property and killed officials, and the size of the ranks did not increase.

This is clearly more like an organized army than a rabble. It is fundamentally different from the usual Yellow Turban Rebellion. These men are well-equipped, well-trained, and act as if they had some kind of plan.

The world has such the ability to organize such a large number of people, and at this time to the Central Plains to make waves, I am afraid that only those who have the ambition to compete for the world have such ability.

Among them, the first object of suspicion is Dong Bufan in the traitorous party, this person has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and they are all well-trained. At this time, the land of Huahan had so many troops, but the area on the border where there was no war was that Dong Bufan.

This person has been plotting for a long time, and he has long been eyeing the Central Plains. This time, there was no Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Central Plains, so none of the henchmen of so many traitors in the past few days have made noise in the court, and it seems that Dong Bufan has already greeted these people.

In fact, the traitorous party has been secretly prepared for a long time, and now these 5,000 people are burning and looting everywhere in the Central Plains under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, disguised as a chaotic army, just for the next step of marching into the Central Plains.

I'm afraid that tomorrow morning, this Dong Bufan will immediately play the Ming Emperor, and let the Xiliang army enter the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, if the elite Xiliang brigade comes, I am afraid that these forbidden troops of their own are not opponents.

The most important thing now is to find out whether these people who pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army and rebel are pretending to be Xiliang soldiers and horses.

If you can get solid evidence and show it in the court, you can not only smash Dong Bufan's plot to transfer soldiers and horses to the Central Plains, but also have sufficient reasons to sanction the traitorous party.

Although the forbidden army in Kyoto was under his own control, the power of the imperial family was already very weak. If he tears his face and exterminates the traitorous party in Kyoto without any evidence, although he can uproot Dong Bufan and Qin Junbai, he will also be convinced.

The other princes can be said to have traitorous ministers in front of the emperor to confuse the public, and kill the important ministers of the court for no reason, and those princes can raise up the so-called righteous teachers and gather under the banner of the Qing monarch to gather under the city of Kyoto.

At that time, the orthodoxy of the imperial power was doubted and threatened, and things would only get worse and worse, and there would be no end to it.

Zhou Xiongqi immediately arranged for his Taibao to send shrewd and capable people to inquire about the news in various places to see if he could get the evidence that these people were from Xiliang. This matter must not be delayed, and must be completed within two days.

As long as there is ironclad evidence, there is nothing to be done by Dong Bufan and Qin Junbai in the court, and it is not known that they will even lose their lives because of this.

Recently, Kyoto has also been very unpeaceful, it is said that those gangs on the rivers and lakes have recently had a lot of actions in the city, and they have been fighting each other several times, and both sides have lost a lot of manpower, and they have just died down in the last two days.

This kind of covert investigation is not the skill of his subordinates, and the people on the rivers and lakes have more ways to do these things. They are inextricably linked in various places, have a wide range of contacts, and it is not easy to reveal their identities in the process of exploration.

It's just that he doesn't have any dealings with these people in the rivers and lakes, and he can't get off the shelf. In this case, even if you want to ask for help from these people, there is no suitable reason for it for a while.

At this moment, I heard someone outside the door come to report that someone was asking to see him, and the door official who came to report was indeed quite familiar with the left chest, this person was the little military attache who asked Xu Fei for the door bag back then.

Zhou Xiongqi knew about this person's request for a door bag, but he didn't stop it. Because there are many people in the official residence that they don't want to see, if there is no difficult door official at the door, I am afraid that the threshold of his prime minister's mansion will have been trampled on a long time ago.

But when today's door official came to report, the expression on his face made Zhou Xiongqi's heart move.

On weekdays, I know what kind of temperament and temperament this person has, but today I am so particular about the words between my words, either I have received an extremely rich door bag or I have any friendship with the person who asks to see outside.

Originally, because there was a big incident in the world today, the murder weapon was also in a troubled mood, and Zhou Xiongqi didn't want to see anyone, and when he didn't report it just now, he didn't pay attention to who wanted to ask to see him. Now that I saw the expression of this doorman, I asked about the identity of the person who asked to see outside.

I only heard the doorman say with a smile on his face: "It was Xu Fei, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, who asked to see him, saying that he had something important to report to his master." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiong felt a burst of joy in his heart, this is exactly when drowsiness meets the pillow, and he knows this Xu Fei's ability. At that time, in the back garden of this prime minister's mansion, he won two Taibao in succession.

And this person is Chu Jinghong's right-hand man in Yanyulou, Jiangnan, and it is said that he is also quite authoritative in the gang, and he can also call Chu Jinghong a brother, and he seems to have done a lot of things on the rivers and lakes recently.

Zhou Xiongqi is usually not interested in these things on the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't know much, but now he needs to explore the civil unrest in various places, and he really needs the power of the rivers and lakes.

Xu Fei came here at this time, and he didn't know what the so-called important things were, but after all, this young man was still a person in the barracks, and he only needed to force this investigation task on this person, and as a last resort, he would use his relationship to use the power of Jiangnan Yanyulou.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiongqi couldn't help but show a smile on his face, this was the first time Zhou Xiongqi had a smile on his face since the rise of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. That doorman is a snob, and he is the most observant. When you see the changes on Xiang Ye's face, you know what you think.

The doorman hurriedly withdrew and walked quickly to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The one who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for a meeting was indeed Xu Fei.

This time I came because of the sudden rise of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which surprised the heroes of Jiangnan Yanyulou. That demon Zhang Jiao has already been ambushed, and there is no possibility of civil unrest in the Central Plains.

still took Mr. Zhuge to make a clever calculation, and immediately thought of the key to the matter. Now the only one who wants to do this is probably Dong Bufan, a traitor.

The news of the situation in Jiangnan Yanyu Building in various places has also been transmitted, and the abnormalities discovered by Zhou Xiongqi, and the heroes of Jiangnan Yanyu Building are also known through the news.

From this analysis, it must be that Xiliang sent soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as the Yellow Turban Army, but this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that the Xiliang army is pressed behind. In order to cope with such a large-scale battle, it is necessary to have the support of regular soldiers and horses, and now there is only one person in charge of the military power in the Central Plains.

It was the prime minister Zhou Xiongqi.
