Turbulent Times Chapter 390: Conspiracy and conspiracy
The imperial envoy was suspected of killing the emperor's most trusted supervisory censor, and he killed him. In any case, this is a big case. Even if Wang Junlin is an imperial envoy, he must go back to the capital to face the saint to explain. In other words, Wang Junlin can only stay in Longxi City for three days at most, and then he must return to Beijing to face the saint. , Think about it, what can even Wang Junlin do in three days?
Liu Fangyang was proud that these three days were just enough time for Mrs. Li to send 200,000 taels of silver and the beauty named Chen Danying to Wang Junlin.
The guard of honor of the imperial envoy stopped, and Liu Fangyang led people to greet him, only to see a handsome scholar in a blouse walking out, but Wang Junlin was nowhere to be seen, Liu Fangyang was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: " Where is Qin Anhou?"
The young scholar is Xu Jingzong. He glanced at the officials who came to greet him, then at the military officer in the middle, and asked, "Is Ying Yanglang General Yuan Feng here?"
Yuan Feng is a descendant of the Yuan clan who is second only to the Dugu clan among the aristocratic families in Guanlong. He controls 30,000 soldiers in Longxi County. The merits are very different, Yuan Feng also knows this and admits it, but you, Wang Junlin, have the same official position as an imperial envoy. Junlin, besides, the Yuan family and the Li family in Longxi are also Guanlong nobles, and they have various close relationships. He also accepted the generous gift from the Li family a few days ago. It is a real generous gift! As soon as he thought of the beautiful and youthful faces of the fourteen-year-old third-born sisters among the many gifts, he wished he could end today's **** reception earlier, and hurry back to torment the three sisters.
Although he had already made up his mind that he would never obey Wang Junlin's order, but on the face of it, it was acceptable. He stepped forward lazily, without saluting, and looked at Xu Jingzong with an arrogant expression: "This official is Yuan Feng, who are you? Why didn't Wang Junlin come out?"
Xu Jingzong hated this kind of ignorant, incompetent, mediocre, but high-ranking scion, he smiled coldly, and waved: "Take it!"
The imperial guard of honor led by Xu Jingzong consisted of a thousand soldiers. When Xu Jingzong gave an order, dozens of soldiers were already prepared and rushed forward, knocked Yuan Feng down and tied them up.
"Who are you? You are so courageous. Believe it or not, I will kill you all over the house, Wang Junlin! What crime did I commit? Why did you arrest me?" Yelling like hell.
Xu Jingzong stepped forward and said: "My lord imperial envoy got the news that Yuan Feng was related to the case of bandits in Wushan County rebelling and attacking the county three days ago. According to the order of my lord imperial envoy, I will be detained first and continue to investigate!"
"Ridiculous!"
Liu Fangyang said angrily: "I don't know the truth of the matter yet, so I just imprisoned General Yingyang of Longxi County at will. Where is Wang Junlin? Let me ask him!"
…
…
The characteristic of a conspiracy is concealment. It makes the opponent fall into the quagmire in a tactful way, and is unable to fight back. It is a kind of softness in the performance of power. Killing Zhang Dehong again made the world and the emperor suspect that Wang Junlin was killed. This matter is full of loopholes, but if the impeachment of Zhang Dehong is true, it will be different. It was enough to make the emperor doubt Wang Junlin's loyalty.
Wang Junlin used Tieqiang Village, which was closely related to Li, to frame Li, and he had strong evidence and witnesses. Li wanted to kill Wang Junlin, but whether the latter was in the guard of honor or hidden In secret, they couldn't make a move, so they used Zhang Dehong to take the initiative to attack, hoping to disrupt Wang Junlin's plan, but Wang Junlin's plan, or the strength shown in this matter, was somewhat superior to the prefect Liu Fangyang and Li Zongxian. people's expectations.
The characteristic of Yangmou is that it is open, and ordinary people can see it, but even if they know it, there is nothing they can do about it. Yangmou is more of a way to use power to suppress people. When he first arrived in Longxi, he first arrested Yuan Feng, the Yingyanglang general of Longxi County who in his opinion was the greatest threat to him, and then took control of the Longxi County Army with his status as an imperial envoy and his prestige and reputation in the Yongzhou Army. Only by controlling the army can Wang Junlin have the confidence to become strong, and in order to ensure his own safety, he can deal with the matter of the Li family in Longxi as soon as possible, rescue Chen Danying, and then continue south to the ancient tomb in Tianshui County.
One is conspiracy and the other is conspiracy. Whoever can win in the end depends on whether Wang Junlin can finish the matter before the emperor summons him back to the capital.
…
…
"Is the funeral settled?" Liu Fangyang asked coldly in front of the fire. At the same time, he tore up Zhang Dehong's investigation records and memorials one by one, and threw them into the fire.
Standing beside him are two of his confidantes, one named Liu Yong and the other named Ma Su, two of the few five foundation-building masters trained by a medium-sized family like the Liu family
Liu Yong bowed and said: "Reporting to the master, it has been dealt with. We have killed all the servants and guards around Zhang Dehong, and their bodies have sunk to the bottom of the river."
"Master, this kind of thing is because people from the Li family don't do anything, let us come forward." Ma Su asked with some worry.
Liu Fangyang sighed, and said: "Because more than 50 people from Li's team of dead men went to Tieqiang Village and never came back, and now everyone in Tieqiang Village has fallen into the hands of the king." In the hands of Junlin, Li Zongxian suspected that their Li family's every move was being watched by Wang Junlin, and their people did not dare to act rashly, so they let us do it. It is really hard to say whether the method of using Zhang Dehong to impeach Wang Junlin really works. .”
Liu Fangyang kept hinting to himself that before the emperor summoned Wang Junlin to the capital, Wang Junlin could find out nothing and do nothing, even if he captured Yuan Feng and controlled the army. But his hint came from the uneasiness in his heart. Wang Junlin really didn't know about Zhang Dehong's affairs. If he knew, why Wang Junlin ignored Zhang Dehong's impeachment and Zhang Dehong's death.
This made Liu Fangyang feel like he was punching nothing. Only then did he understand Li Zongxian's tired and dignified face when he secretly met him a few days ago. Shen, he definitely didn't want to go against Wang Junlin. Right now, perhaps the only option is to kill Wang Junlin. Even though killing Wang Junlin is very risky, it is the most effective way to solve the crisis in Longxi.
"Alas! If Wang Junlin was not recalled to the capital, I hope that Taoist sister of Li Zongxian can kill Wang Junlin, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!" Liu Fangyang looked extremely gloomy.
