Chapter 226 Rumors Abound (Ask for a Monthly Ticket, Recommended)
A battle has its own victories and defeats. After winning the victory, Wang Kuo also did not rest. Instead, after tidying up, he came to the Golden Luan Hall to handle some official duties!
After a day of silence, until the sky was getting dark, Wang Kuo turned to Yin Xiwen's palace again, and asked someone to call Li Shuyi, and he didn't leave refreshed until the next morning.

In the next few days, Wang Kuo was also busy, and it was difficult to find a free time!

Maybe this is the so-called gain and loss!

During the day, he had to review the memorials, count the news from the Jinyiwei, check the situation of the civil and military officials, and handle the official affairs of the court.

In the evening, he had to worry about Long Rong'er, Yin Xiewen, Li Shuyi and other queen mothers, imperial concubines and concubines, and even Xie Jinhua and Xu Shasha, who were not concubines, he had to find a way to take care of them.

For this reason, Wang Kuo simply fights one day a day and three days a day, but even so, he still feels that it is difficult to bear everyone's love for him.

And every morning when Wang Kuo left, he had to sigh!
"too tired……"

Gradually, I don't know where, since when, a news began to spread, saying that Wang Kuo lived in the palace, and he didn't know anything about the female family members in the palace, etc.!
What's more, they insulted and slandered him behind his back, saying that if the new emperor is the emperor, then Wang Kuo is the Supreme Emperor, etc...

This also made Wang Kuo have to temporarily add another job to his schedule after a few days of busy work!
"Check it out for me, I really want to see it. Where did these words come from!"

Wang Kuo's face was extremely dark, as if someone had caught a thief and dirty him, which made him angry from embarrassment, and also scared him to the top of the Jinyiwei, trembling!
It's no wonder that all the high-ranking members of Jinyiwei were trembling and frightened in their hearts. Wang Kuo's power was getting stronger and stronger. Even standing there, he gave people a strong sense of pressure!
What's more, the duty of Jin Yiwei is to monitor the world's officials and inspect the lives of the people. Now that rumors are spreading, let's not say whether these rumors are true or not, but as long as it involves issues with superiors, they will wait for the opportunity to deal with them regardless of right or wrong. If you can't handle it, report it in time!

But now, rumors have spread throughout the city, but they haven't found out who did it, and they haven't found out in time, so it's their responsibility in the end.

This is also the reason why Wang Kuo thought that they were his own people, otherwise, this alone would be enough to cut them off or remove them from their posts!
"Check, I only give you three days. After three days, I must know who is walking behind the rumors, and what is his intention!"

Wang Kuo's furious rage immediately aroused the panic of all the civil and military officials in the court, especially the Jin Yiwei who rode out everywhere, directly arresting anyone who dared to continue spreading rumors.

The people here, whether they are ordinary people, men and women from the land of fireworks, or the descendants of some famous family, the children of generals!
In short, it is a sentence, if you dare to say it, I will dare to catch it!

For a moment, the whole capital was in a state of turmoil, and everyone's expressions changed because they didn't know whether a word of their own would lead to death.

However, with the massive arrests in the capital, Wang Kuo is also worried!

To put it simply, Wang Kuo felt that he was a bit stuck, not to mention that he felt like jumping into someone else's trap.

Now the whole capital is full of rumors, if you ignore it, it will not only be a blow to the morale of the army, but also an insult to your own reputation!

But once it is hit, like it is now, it will cause panic. Some people already have people who want to be loyal to themselves, and because their relatives are implicated in this incident, they gradually drift away from themselves. Far!

Fortunately, three days passed in a flash, and three days later, Liu Jie, the commander of Jin Yiwei, came to Wang Kuo again.

"My lord, this subordinate was ordered to arrest the whole city, and we have already obtained some evidence, but..." Liu Jie looked up at Wang Kuo, hesitant to speak!

"Let's talk!" Rubbing between his eyebrows, Wang Kuo felt a little tired. Sure enough, this kind of intrigue is really more tiring than fighting or something!
"At this point, what can't be said, tell the truth!"

"My lord, during this period of time, through open and secret investigations, I found out that the instigator of this incident is not one person, or not one force!"

"Oh!" Wang Kuo frowned, "It seems that this matter is really the same as what I guessed, what kind of ghosts and snakes are coming out!"

What Wang Kuo didn't expect was that following Liu Jie's next sentence, his complexion changed suddenly. It turned out that the good person he had always thought of was the culprit of this incident!

This can also explain why Jin Yiwei didn't get the news until now!

"My lord, the instigators of this incident are King Qin, King Wei, and King Zhennan who all participated in the forces in the capital, but the biggest culprit among them is actually... or Duke Xu!"

Xu Guogong?
Wang Kuo was slightly taken aback when he heard this!
This Xu Guogong is amazing, although he and Yin Guogong are both Dukes of the State, but the same position has a distinction between high and low, let alone a Duke of the State!

Xu Guogong's strength is very strong, and his strength comes from two points. One is that his business spreads all over the country, and he has abundant funds. Natural strength is not easy!

Secondly, Xu Guogong's current wife is the daughter of a famous family. The two complement each other and make Xu Guogong seem low-key, but in fact he is quite powerful.

Of course, the most important point is to think of Wang Kuo!

That is, Xu Guogong's strength has grown by leaps and bounds in the past year, but the real reason is that Wang Kuo cooperated with him in some of his business.This makes Xu Guogong's economic strength stronger and stronger, and he looks like a wealthy country!

It is precisely because of my Wang Kuo’s relationship that Jin Yiwei has reduced the supervision of Xu Guogong’s mansion and even Xu Guogong’s family. Therefore, when the rumors really spread from Xu Guogong’s mansion, Jin Yiwei failed to find out in time.

"Do you know the reason? I don't believe it. With the great benefits I have given him, he will suddenly oppose me!"

This is also Xu Guogong, who is actually the owner behind Guanxing Tower. Wang Kuo couldn't believe it until the news. With the great benefits he gave him, could this Xu Guogong be a fool and insist on going against him?

"There are three reasons!" Liu Jie organized his words before explaining carefully.

"When Xu Guogong himself was young, he and Zhennan Wang Zhushou were good friends who talked about everything. The relationship has always been close, even if Zhennan Wang went to the fief for his birthday, the two have always kept in touch!"

"Even the reason why Xu Guogong was able to do such a big business was because of the help of King Zhennan's birthday celebration!"

"And there is news that Xu Guogong and Bailianhui also have contacts..."

"There's more!" At this point, Liu Jie's tone paused, and he continued after thinking about it!

"The other thing is that Xu Guogong has been coveting the business of the lord. Recently, the lord has become more powerful. He is afraid that the lord will not cooperate with him in the end, so he wants to act first!"

bang bang bang...

Wang Kuo tapped the surface of the desk with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and raised his head suddenly!

"Pass down the order of this official to let Jin Yiwei keep an eye on Duke Xu's mansion. Remember not to let anyone from the Xu family run out. If they don't move, just ignore them in the near future. After I finish cleaning up King Qin and the others, I will change hands to clean them up!"

"If they want to run away, they don't have to be mere officials, just take them all down. Remember, no one can run away!"

"Yes, my lord!" Hearing this, Liu Jie clasped his fists and left!
Watching the back of Liu Jie leaving, Wang Kuo pondered for a moment, and finally decided to ask Xie Jinhua again to see if she knew about Xu Guogong!

He did as soon as he thought of it, and soon Wang Kuo came to the harem, and found Xie Jinhua and Xu Shasha's mother and daughter who were basking in the sun in the imperial garden!

"Xu Guogong?" Xie Jinhua thought for a while after hearing the words: "If you ask other members of the White Lotus Society about this matter, they may not know, but as long as they are elders or above, they all know that Xu Guogong is our White Lotus Society. The honorary president, whose power is in the White Lotus Society, is no less than the president himself!"

"Why?" Wang Kuo's heart moved, he suddenly understood, and finally understood many things that he couldn't figure out before!

Sure enough, Xie Jinhua's answer instantly confirmed Wang Kuo's guess!
"Because at the beginning of our White Lotus Society's development, Xu Guogong has been helping us with money and power, otherwise our White Lotus Society would not have developed so fast!"

"Then do you know the relationship between Xu Guogong and Zhennan Wang Zhushou?" Wang Kuo once again asked the doubts in his heart!
"They?" Xie Jinhua was taken aback, "What do they have to do with each other?"
