So I play chess

Chapter 91
At this time, the inner hall of the prefect's mansion had been blocked off by dark guards, and the original relatives and servants in the mansion were not allowed to approach. Knowing that Xia Wenliang, Li Mao and Liu Zhu were included, they came to listen carefully to what the eldest lady was planning.

Wen Gu first asked Zhixia to light the lamp for the inner hall, so that the hall would be brighter and the heart would be more stable.

Then everyone sat down separately, and Wen Gu didn't hide his voice, I'm afraid it was nothing more than a loud plot.

The hidden guards guarding the outside are all people with sharp eyes and ears, and they will clean up all the places where they can hear the voices in the inner hall.

These conversations did not end until the sky was about to dawn.Wen Gu was not in a hurry to go back without losing his home, but first went to the courtyard behind the mansion with Wen Liang.

The leader of the Chu army who was still dreaming was awakened, and after talking with his future beauty lord, he left the token behind and slipped out the door alone with great ambition.

Before dawn, the eldest lady of the Liangzhou army, the young aunt of the prefect of Tongcheng, and the secret assistance of the future monarch of Nanchu threw a few stones into the conspicuous or inconspicuous places in the pool of Tongcheng. Before the rippling waves converged into a giant wave, she had already gone back to Fushiju to sleep with her maid Zhixia.

The game of chess in Tongcheng is about to reach the time of hand-to-hand combat, and the pieces have already been laid, and then, there will be a fight.She needs to raise her spirits and clean up the next situation.

At this time, the "Master of the Driving Department" was also awakened from his sleep, and his subordinates hurriedly came to inform him that the four people who had gone to follow Liu Zhuo as a stalker did not return on time to report the news.

After the time passed, they sent another person to search, and found the bodies of four people all over Tongcheng, but the female inspectors of Tongcheng took care of the corpses before they did.It was inevitable that they exposed their whereabouts, and they didn't show up for the time being, so they had to come back first to report to the commander.

The "Master of the Driving Department" didn't think that the matter in Tongcheng was difficult at first, but he fell into a deep sleep and listened to the report of his subordinates in a daze. He just woke up and asked anxiously, "Is it the prefect of Tongcheng?"

The subordinate replied: "It's not sure, the female inspector has been investigating the scene, asking the surrounding people, it seems that they don't know."

"Master of the Driving Department" snorted coldly, and said, "This Tongcheng is under the rule of Liu Zhuo, and we are not familiar with the environment and human relations. If he wants to play a show, you may not be able to distinguish clearly."

The subordinate said "yes" and just waited for the command from the commander.

During their trip, there were no more than [-] people who mixed into the original team of the Criminal Department of the Ministry of War.Including those who entered the city disguised as refugees, and those who hid outside the city to prepare to respond, there were not even sixty in total.

Letting Liu Zhu enter the capital is just a casual thing. To follow him back to the capital would require more than a dozen people, and they still need to stay here for a while. Xu Zhongyan has not yet entered the city, and the urgent matter is yet to come. It was very insufficient.

But within a day of entering the city, four people had already been inexplicably lost. The "Master of the Driving Department" weighed it for a while, and decided not to assign any manpower to investigate the matter for the time being, and to make further calculations after sending Liu Zhu and others out of the city.

"What happened to Liu Zhu?" He asked again.

The subordinate replied: "After an hour ago, my subordinates found out that something was wrong, and immediately added more people to keep an eye on the prefect's mansion."

The "Master of the Driving Department" clearly knew that this subordinate was afraid of taking responsibility for him and was obviously slow in responding, but he evaded the seriousness and only said that he had replenished the manpower in time, but this is not the time to attack, so he calmly waited for him to speak.

"There is nothing unusual about Liu Zhu, he just packed up his luggage. However, there is one thing that may be unusual in the prefect's mansion."

"What's the matter?"

"In addition to packing simple luggage, Liu Zhu and his relatives and servants also brought a coffin."

"For him?"

The subordinate shook his head and said: "Probably not, the coffin has already been nailed, and there should be a corpse inside."

"The doctor of the driving department" doubted: "If his family members are relatives, they should be buried in Tongcheng. This trip returns to Beijing, and I don't pass by his hometown. Why bring a dead person?"

"The subordinates are also puzzled by this point, and after inquiring, no one in his family has passed away in recent days."

The "Servant of the Driving Department" snorted again, and said: "No matter what kind of tricks he is playing, let's go and see him, and we will find out."

After saying that, the two got up and prepared to go to the prefect's mansion. According to today's arrangement, after noon, Bibu Langzhong and a group of people from Beijing should return to Beijing with Liu Zhu. His Highness is in Lianzhou Of course there are other treats.They were the only ones left in Tongcheng, dealing carefully with His Highness the Second Highness.

But before he could go out, another subordinate came to report.

"Commander, Liu Zhu was assassinated in the mansion!"

He just fell asleep, and then two things happened, "Driving Doctor" cursed inwardly, and asked, "Is he dead?"

"No, I was just injured, but not serious." The subordinate who came to report replied.

"Who is the assassin? Can he survive?"

The person who came shook his head and said: "There are three assassins in total, one escaped, and the other two were killed on the spot."

"You bastard! You can't even keep someone alone. Who's watching Liu? Call me back."

"Master of the driving department" did not expect his subordinates to be so incompetent, and he was really angry now.While speaking, he stared at the first subordinate who came.

But the latecomer said again: "Commander, the four people we stared at Liu Zhu were all killed by the assassin."

"what?!"

"Master of the driving department" felt tense, he didn't care too much for his subordinates, it's just that there were only so many people, eight of them were missing after a while, no one could sit still.So he didn't delay anymore, and quickly asked two of his subordinates to follow him to the prefect's mansion to check.

When they arrived, the prefect's mansion had just calmed down from the chaos, and the medical officer had just left, and Liu Zhu's wives, concubines and children had already taken turns to cry and let him drive back one by one.

It's just that the luggage can't be packed for the time being.

The two servants who were killed by the assassins were also covered with cloth, and they were carried by others to be sent out.

At this time, a group of people called to open the gate of the prefect's mansion, and the crowd rushed in, and the leader was the "driver doctor".

Seeing Liu Zhu leaning sideways on the slum, with a white cloth wrapped around his waist, the original green official robe was quite red with blood, and his complexion was even paler.

"Doctor of the Driving Department" first said "Wait a minute", and his subordinates immediately stopped the person who was carrying the servant's body.He went up to lift the cloth himself, and found that the two corpses were indeed dressed as servants, and they seemed to have died not long ago.

Then he walked in front of Liu Zhu again, and said coldly: "Prefect, are you seriously injured?"

Liu Zhu reluctantly replied: "Your Excellency is concerned, and the life of the subordinate official will be safe."

"Driving doctor" nodded, and suddenly put his hand on Liu Zhu's waist.
