Chapter 56: Listen to the heavens
Under the moon, in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion in the north of the town, Bai Yi was making a report to Bai Li, and one of the contents of the report was about the action of burning grain and grass outside the Saiwai.
"In other words, it will take at least half a month for their second batch of grain and grass to arrive, right?" Bai Li replied while trimming the branches and leaves of the bonsai in front of him.
"Yes, Childe," Bai Yi replied.
"Do you think the Huns can wait for half a month?" Bai Li continued.
"If you really want to hold on...... It should be possible," Bai Yi hesitated for a moment and then said, "But in this case, then they are in danger." Once the food and grass are not available by then, they will have no way out. ”
"Yes, you can see the danger, and it is naturally impossible for the Huns not to see it," Bai Li carefully cut off a branch, and then said: "Therefore, if the Daxing Division wants to continue to gain the trust of the Xiongnu side, then the grain and grass must arrive early." ”
"Arriving early?" Bai Yi squinted and said, "How is this possible?"
"Think about what you've overlooked," Bai Li chuckled, "they're not ordinary businessmen, they're officials, they're big dealers. ”
Bai Yiwen was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted and said, "What does Childe mean...... But aren't they afraid of spreading the word?"
"It's better than the Huns directly transferring to the state," Bai Li put down the gardening scissors in his hand and chuckled: "What's more, it was the people of the Gong Wei Division who stabbed Lou Zi first, even if the people above them blamed it, they could also blame everything on the head of the Gong Wei Division." ”
"Then the current head of the Gong Wei Division is miserable," Bai Yi said with a smile: "Not only is it the death of Shangguan and a large number of capable men, but they will also face the heavy punishment and reprimand of their master in the future." ”
"Isn't this better?" Bai Li chuckled, "Just to make way for the people below, I'm still waiting for the landing of the Nine Layers to ascend and achieve the position of commander." ”
"Childe, what should we do next?" Bai Yi continued to ask.
"Let Bai Er star," Bai Li said lightly: "This grain ...... Burn as much as I want! If the Great Boss likes to play with fire, then we will add a few more fires to him! Isn't it a very interesting thing for a fireplayer to die on fire?"
"Yes, Childe!" Bai Yi replied.
Not to mention the arrangements made by Bai Li, on the other hand, in the capital, the death of Cao Ying, the regular attendant of the Imperial City Division, and his subordinates finally reached their superiors, that is, Wang Cang, the envoy of the Imperial City, and the prince of the prince.
"Are they all dead?" Wang Gonggong lowered his head and gently stropiced the tea in the cup with the tea lid, and said lightly: "So we are in Youzhou...... There's no one left to use, is there?"
"Yes," replied the person who had come to report with a shudder.
"Okay, okay," the prince continued to stir with the tea, and said lightly: "You really give the miscellaneous family a face, more than ten years of arrangement, more than ten years of preparation, all of them are lost!
Where did the subordinates dare to answer, including the people standing on both sides, they did not dare to move one by one, acting as statues, silent.
"Why don't you speak," the prince obviously did not intend to let them go so easily, so he continued: "Don't you talk a lot in normal times? Why are you dumb at this time? Do you think that the sky is falling from the top of a tall man, and the left and right can't hit you?"
"Okay, okay," Seeing that his subordinates were silent, the prince finally stopped fiddling with the tea bowl in his hand, and casually put it on the desk on the side, stood up and walked slowly, while chuckling: "You want to see our jokes, don't you?
With the landing of Wang Gonggong's voice, the faces of the people in the hall changed instantly, and just as he wanted to react, he saw a purple light visible to the naked eye began to sweep in all directions with Wang Gonggong as the center!
Then, before everyone in the hall could make a move, the purple light quickly swept over their bodies, and then they felt as if their throats were no longer their own!
Dumb!
It's really dumb!
Sure enough, as the prince said before, even if they want to speak in the future, they can't say it!
But they should be glad that the prince has no other people under him who can be used. Otherwise, I'm afraid they wouldn't just be dumb, but together with Cao Ying and others, they would be sent directly to see the king of Hades by the princess!
Therefore, although everyone in the hall was poisoned and dumb, no one had any overreaction, and just watched the prince walk out of the hall and disappear from their sight.
"A bunch of rubbish!" Not to mention the people who had been poisoned and dumb, and were taken to the palanquin of the palace, the prince who was still angry couldn't help but rub his temples lightly, and began to worry about how to explain to today.
After all, this matter is not ordinary, more than ten years of planning, more than ten years of arrangement. Put yourself in his shoes, if his subordinates messed up their own arrangements for so long, they wouldn't be good either.
Therefore, for a while, the prince's face was full of sadness.
But such a big thing can't be ignored, otherwise, when the paper can't hold the fire, his sin will be even heavier!
After all, for the superior, he can sit back and watch you incompetent, but you will never be allowed to deceive. And this is the valuable experience accumulated by the prince in his decades of court career.
Not to mention that the prince is worried about how to face the current Son of Heaven, on the other hand, the urgent report of the Great Bank Division has finally been transferred to the hands of the current Son of Heaven.
Looking at the urgent report, there was a report about the delay in the action of the Gong Wei Division, even the city government of the Son of Heaven couldn't help frowning.
After muttering for a while, he instructed the eunuch who served him, and asked him to summon the head of the Gong Wei Division in Beijing to the palace, ready to ask what kind of reputation the Gong Wei Division was doing, and why the Daxing Division had already attracted the Huns over, and they Gong Wei Si had dropped the chain on their side.
The people of the Gong Guard came quickly, but the prince who went first came faster.
Therefore, when the Son of Heaven here was still waiting here, the prince was rushed to the first step, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to plead guilty, kowtowing and saying: "Your Majesty, the old slave has a heavy trust for you, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender!"
As soon as the Son of Heaven saw the prince like this, he knew that the matter might not be small, so he couldn't help frowning and asking.
And with the prince and the prince of the Imperial City Division, almost all the people in Youzhou were wiped out, and all the treasures were taken away at the same time, and they didn't play a role at all. The face of the Son of Heaven turned cloudy in an instant, and when he looked at the prince, his eyes also contained many unkindnesses.
At the same time, he also began to muttered in his heart, this Youzhou is poisonous. The talent of the Great Bank Division here has just reported, and there is a situation on the side of the Gong Wei Division, and you, the Imperial City Division, have given me another big gift here!
