So I play chess

Chapter 124 Zheng Tong's Actions

Tongcheng used to close its gates at the third quarter of the unitary hour, but today it was early at the beginning of the unitary period.

Because it was done temporarily, there was no way to inform in advance such as notices. Fortunately, Li Mao, Lao Zhao, and the others outside the city had already started their actions, and there were not so many people coming into the city today.

Originally, this incident alone was enough for the people of Tongcheng to dream about it, but it has become the most inconspicuous novelty in the past few days.

It was just dark, and the chase between Wen Liang and Cheng Wangshu finally stopped quietly after stirring up most of Tongcheng.The people of the city don't know where they end up, just as they don't know why they started.

Coupled with the previous changes in the price of rice and grain in the city, together with the news that the Sun Mansion was disposed of overnight, and the prefect Liu Zhuxian was assassinated by a mysterious person and then transferred, the people of Tongcheng should have closed their doors tonight. With closed accounts, the city should no longer be as lively as it used to be, but because of Mr. Sun's involvement, most of the gambling houses and trick shops in the city were either raided by the government, or by other big families who had some contacts with Mr. Sun. Taking advantage of the emptiness and entering, today all of them have closed their jobs.

And the remaining ones that have nothing to do with the Sun Mansion are obviously a good time to do business and win customers. Seeing the end of the Sun Mansion, I don’t know why, so I dare not take the slightest bit of fishy smell at this pass. It also went out of business.

Many people who really had nothing to do replaced those who had been hanging out in teahouses every night but dared not go out tonight, making Tongcheng look less deserted.

Then a message gradually spread.

Xu Sanlang, a person from Tongcheng who said he was scolding the temple in Lianzhou, quietly returned to Tongcheng today.Liu Zhu's transfer was due to being implicated. In name, he moved to Zhizhi, but in fact, under the game of the big shots in Lianzhou, he went to Beijing first and then made other arrangements.

As for the assassins who caused a disturbance in the city today, even though there were some information deliberately revealed by the soldiers when they asked around, it was still spread here: these assassins are not the chief culprits of the assassination of the prefect, they are the real ones. The purpose is to kill Xu Zhongyan, who sent it is self-evident.

This led to a lot of discussions in various places, which were nothing more than speculation about Lianzhou's actions. Although there were many lawsuits during the period, they all pointed to a general direction: Lord Ling Guang lost a god by this move. style.

This is the use of Tongcheng's most special place in Southern Chu.

Although Tongcheng is very close to the border of the enemy country, it has not experienced too many real wars.The daily lives of the people of Southern Chu here are more or less affected by the war, but they are not really suffering so much that they can only look for hope in the gods.

At the same time, due to the embarrassing location, once Bei Yu goes south from the west, considering the overall situation, it is not very meaningful for Nan Chu to stick to Tongcheng. It is also because of this reality that over time, Nan Chu's own influence on Tongcheng will gradually fade. Among them, Ling Guangjun is only a god in name to the people of Tongcheng, who seems alienated and unfamiliar.

In contrast, it is such a small border town. Due to Lianzhou's lack of attention and the resources and environment brought by the location, etc., although there have not been any nobles who have been enshrined in the past few years, they have a very strong sense of reading. The atmosphere, the places that scholars yearn for are all above the court, and there are the most discussions about the court.And because of the distance from Lianzhou, and the influence of Beiyu and Liangzhou over the years, many news about Southern Chu changed here.

Although Xu Sanlang's related discussions did not come to fruition in the end, Ling Guangjun's reputation in Tongcheng also tended to decline tonight.

"Is this really the case?" Wen Gu sat in a tea room and listened to the reports of many hidden guards, thinking to himself.

Wen Liang cleared out such a clean tea room near the south city gate, and temporarily let Wen Gu use it for discussion.

He originally chased Cheng Wangshu and ran for half of Tongcheng, but after that Nan Yijian just ran blindly and didn't stop.Although Wen Liang could barely keep up, it was getting harder and harder.

Until Jin Wan stopped him and reported the news of Anningfang.Only then did Wen Liang understand what Cheng Wangshu was going to do.They didn't even chase after them. After the group of people stopped, they suddenly felt sore limbs. They first slumped on the spot and slowed down for a while. As soon as they regained some strength, they rushed to Buloju to report to the eldest lady.

It's just that after hearing the past, not only did he not feel regretful and angry, but he was happy because the other party would still have some tricks.Then he asked Wen Liang not to care about this matter for the time being, and to find a place to discuss matters first.

Wen Liang didn't know why the young miss appointed a teahouse, and because Li Mao was not around, he first gathered some people from Li Mao in the city here, and asked them to come and talk to the young lady about the things that had been discussed today.

"Miss, do we have to deal with it?" Wen Liang asked.After Li Mao's people reported back, Wen Liang didn't let them disperse because he was afraid that the eldest lady would have other orders.

Wen Gu just shook his head: "Just keep listening. The next step may be news about Xia Qingtong."

One of the people who reported back and forth said: "We followed some people who were obviously spreading the guiding message, and wanted to see their whereabouts, so as to determine whether there was a mastermind behind them. These people didn't have a consistent destination, but they just went to the After inquiring in the neighbors and the military inspection shop in charge of the local area, it was found that they were more or less related to the Zheng family."

This surprised Wen Gu, she originally thought that Zheng Tong was just a wealthy patriarch in Tongcheng who only wanted to make money, but she didn't expect him to be involved in it.

Wen Gu nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about the other things, just investigate this matter carefully."

The man took the order and left.

The development of the matter was unexpectedly fast, but it was still the same as what she had inferred in the midst of staying in the house, and it was all aimed at Ling Guangjun's reputation. Judging from this behavior, the next step should be further development. Remove Ling Guangjun's influence in Tongcheng.

Then it may start from Tongcheng, and then spread to the whole of Southern Chu.

In a word, there is no need for Ling Guangjun in Southern Chu.

But now that Southern Chu is in critical condition, Lord Ling Guang is the best call to action.It would be reasonable for Bei Yu to do so, but Nan Chu's behavior is tantamount to cutting off a path.

Besides, Mr. Ling Guang made it himself.

Just as Wen Gu was thinking, he suddenly saw Zhou Tong coming to report, and he yelled out before he arrived.

"Miss, the scouts have come to report that the Dingyi army has stopped marching fifty miles south of the city. There is a group of about 130 light armored cavalry who are rushing towards Tongcheng first."
