Chapter 630
Su Dingfang had doubts about the Yingxiao incident in Xuanwei Mansion and Dugu Ming's abnormal performance, so Su Dingfang also reported the news about Yingxiao in Liangzhou to Li Ke immediately.

Ying Xiao has been suppressed, and Dugu Ming has been arrested. This matter seems to have been slowly suppressed, but with the news brought back by Wei Sie, after Dugu Ming was stabbed to death in prison, the situation suddenly changed. It took a sharp turn again, Su Dingfang slowly smelled the smell of conspiracy.

Xuanwei Mansion is located in Liangzhou, an important town in the northwest. It is the barrier of Guzang City where Liangzhou's prefectural government is located. After arriving at Guzang City, the news will definitely shock the whole city, and it will even go directly to Shangshu Province.

As soon as Su Dingfang heard the news, he was shocked and didn't dare to delay at all, so he rushed to the prison with Cheng Mingzhen and a group of guards.

"Where is Dugu's name?" Su Dingfang rushed to the prison, and saw the scene of commotion going back and forth in the prison. Su Dingfang grabbed a random person and asked.

The man also knew Su Dingfang, and quickly responded to Su Dingfang: "The body of Captain Lonely is still in prison, waiting for the governor to come here, and the governor will come with me."

With that said, the jailer brought Su Ding into it conveniently.

The prison where Duguming was located was not far from the prison door, and Su Dingfang arrived at the place within only twenty steps. At this time, Duguming's body was surrounded by people, and he made way for Su Dingfang when he saw Su Dingfang arrived.

As soon as the surrounding crowd withdrew, Su Ding conveniently saw the dead body of Dugu Ming lying on the ground. The dagger was stabbed into the back of Lonely Ming's heart. Obviously it was this dagger that killed him.This short knife was very sharp, and it killed him with one blow. The person who wanted to kill him was also an experienced knife user.

Su Dingfang looked at Duguming's wound, and then turned Duguming's face, what caught his eyes was Duguming's horrified expression, he must have seen something that surprised him.

Looking at Duguming's corpse, Su Dingfang seemed to understand a little bit.

Dugu Ming is also a member of the army, Tang people are martial arts, anyone who can be a captain in the government army, even if he relies on nepotism, his skill will never be bad, if a stranger, want to It is absolutely impossible to go around behind him and kill someone. The person who killed Dugu Ming must be someone he is very familiar with. Even Dugu Ming never thought that that person would want to kill him. The expression on Dugu Ming's face is proof.

Su Dingfang put down Duguming, and asked the jailer solemnly, "Before Duguming died, did you meet anyone? Or did anyone come to the prison?"

The jailer replied: "There are so many people coming and going in the prison every day. Some of them know it, and some don't. We really don't know."

The jailer's reply was also expected by Su Dingfang. After all, the people behind Dugu Ming were most likely from the Guanlong clan. These aristocratic clans have been entrenched in the local area for many years and have great influence. It is not difficult to enter a small prison. .

Seeing this, Cheng Mingzhen on the side said to Su Dingfang: "Commander, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out Dugu Ming's death for a while. The most urgent thing right now is to break the Chongfu of Xuanwei. Dugu Ming has a high prestige in Xuanwei Mansion. This time he died in the Guzang City, I'm afraid there will be big trouble there."

Dugu Ming had been in Xuanwei Mansion for several years, and he already had a high prestige. In addition, he was imprisoned this time to protect his soldiers. Once news of his death spread to Xuanwei Mansion, there would be chaos in the camp. Someone with a heart to instigate, it may be that there is a mutiny.

What Cheng Mingzhen said was exactly what Su Dingfang was worried about. Before Xuanwei Mansion Yingxiao, Dugu Ming deliberately came forward to embarrass him. At that time, he couldn't guess the purpose behind it, but now Su Dingfang understands.

The aristocratic family behind Dugu Ming deliberately took advantage of Dugu Ming's death to attack them, in order to stir up conflicts between the Xuanwei Zhechong Mansion and even the entire Liangzhou Zhechong Mansion and the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, in order to force Li Shimin and Li Ke to stop. Replace Su Dingfang, the governor of Liangzhou, and give up the idea of ​​weakening the Guanlongmen Clan.

Su Dingfang was not the target of the Guanlong Clan. Their targets were Li Ke and Li Shimin behind Su Dingfang. As for Dugu Ming, he was just an idiot who used, deceived, and lost his life in the end.

Now the pressure has suddenly come to Su Dingfang's side. If he can't withstand the pressure of Zhechong Mansion in Liangzhou, or even creates troubles, then Li Ke must be difficult to do in Chang'an, and Li Ke's plan can only be Let it go.

Su Dingfang has followed Li Ke for many years, and it goes without saying that he is loyal to Li Ke. If Li Ke wants to wrestle with the Guanlong clan, and put him in the position of the governor of Liangzhou, he will absolutely rely on and trust him. Su Dingfang will never allow it. I let Li Ke down.

Su Dingfang said: "Temporarily close the prison, block the news, first order your confidants to report this matter to Beijing."

"No." Cheng Mingzhen immediately agreed.

Cheng Mingzhen first agreed to the matter, then thought about it, and said to Su Dingfang: "Blocking the news may only quench my thirst for a while, and it may not be a long-term solution. Since Dugu Ming was killed in prison, he deliberately framed him." The news of our Liangzhou Governor's Mansion may have already spread."

Su Dingfang is Li Ke's confidant, and Cheng Mingzhen can also be regarded as Su Dingfang's confidant. As early as when Su Dingfang was the governor of Shuozhou, Cheng Mingzhen was the long history under Su Dingfang's command. Don't drive, Su Dingfang is Su Dingfang's right and left hand, and Su Dingfang relies heavily on him.

Li Ke explained Su Dingfang's affairs, although Su Dingfang did not tell Cheng Mingzhen all of them, but these things were put on the table, and Cheng Mingzhen could see it and knew something, so Cheng Mingzhen said this.

Su Dingfang said: "Blocking the news is only a measure of profit, so naturally we can't rely solely on it."

Su Dingfang said, thought for a moment, and then asked Cheng Mingzhen: "In Guzang City, how many soldiers can be recruited right now?"

Cheng Mingzhen replied truthfully: "Most of the Liangzhou frontier army is stationed on the front line of Tuyuhun, and now there are less than [-] available soldiers in Guzang City."

Su Dingfang nodded, turned cold, and said to Cheng Mingzhen: "Eight thousand is enough, pass on the order, the three armies are ready, and the commander may be recruited at any time."

Cheng Mingzhen has followed Su Dingfang for some years, and as soon as Su Dingfang's words came out, Cheng Mingzhen knew what Su Dingfang meant. The people behind Duguming wanted to force Su Dingfang to back down, but when did Su Dingfang become a temperament of being at the mercy of others.

The dignified governor of Liangzhou, the general stationed in the East Palace with his back, how could he be coerced by others?
If others think that Su Dingfang is kind and deceitful, he doesn't mind raising the butcher's knife again.After all, it would be easy to get the border commanders of the Huihe, Turkic, and Xueyantuo tribes in Mobei Town.

"Promise!" Cheng Mingzheng responded loudly.
