Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Standing by the side, Xin Pi saw Xun Chen's face change drastically, and asked in a low voice, "You Ruo, what happened?"

Xun Chen said: "Something has happened, very serious."

Immediately, Xun Chen came to Wang Lei's side, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, I just got the news that three great Confucianists who taught in the academy fell into the water and died one after another. This matter has already spread in the academy."

Wang Lei frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Xun Chen shook his head and said, "The specifics of what happened have not been investigated yet. As far as we know, only these three people died one after another, and the time of death was very strange. One died every day the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today."

Zheng Xuan looked tense, and said: "I remembered that a great Confucian who was teaching did fall into the water the day before yesterday. The old man thought that it was not impossible for someone to fall into the water and die, so he didn't take it to heart. Why did people die again yesterday and today?"

Liu Hong said worriedly: "One dies a day, I guess, there must be people with ulterior motives behind the scenes. If this is the case, there may be another great Confucianist who will fall into the water tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the people in the room changed drastically.

At this critical moment, Wang Lei made a decisive decision and said: "Please rest assured, I will immediately dispatch soldiers to protect the great Confucian scholars in the academy. At the same time, I will also send people to investigate this matter and give a result as soon as possible."

Immediately, Wang Lei shouted: "Huang Zhong!"

"The end is here!"

Huang Zhong strode in and said respectfully.

Wang Lei ordered: "Immediately go back to the city and inform Jushou to send a thousand soldiers to the academy to protect all the Confucian scholars. At the same time, inform Jia Xu to investigate the matter with all his might."

"As ordered!"

Huang Zhong nodded and quickly left the academy.

Wang Lei looked at Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong and the others again, and said, "Based on the current situation, someone must have planned it. Now is an extraordinary period, and you should stay in the academy for the time being, and don't move around. I took Xun Chen and Simpi , to go and see the family members of the late great Confucianism. They must be sad and helpless when their loved ones pass away. I will go there in person to appease them.”

Zheng Xuan straightened his back slightly, and said in a deep voice: "As a member of the academy, how can you stand by and watch? Besides, this is just a simple assassination. Could it be worse than the disaster of the party? There is nothing to be afraid of, old man Go with Zhou Mu."

Liu Hong continued: "Brother Kang Cheng is right, we must go."

Immediately afterwards, Pang De, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and others all spoke in agreement.

Seeing everyone's resolute expressions, Wang Lei said gratefully: "Thank you, gentlemen!"

After a pause, Wang Lei said, "In that case, let's go together." While speaking, Wang Lei looked at Xun Chen again, and ordered, "Let the person who reported the news lead the way and visit them one by one."

"Yes!"

Xun Chen nodded and went to make arrangements immediately.

Under the protection of the soldiers, the group left the academy not long after, and went to the home of the great Confucian who died the first time.Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, and Wang Lei were sitting in a carriage. Zheng Xuan was sitting in danger, and said: "Master Zhou, the people behind this assassination must be found out. Even the great Confucians who teach in the academy will not be spared." , is simply insane."

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Kang Cheng, I will definitely find out the murderer behind the scenes. This time, the assassination is probably the result of someone's jealousy of the academy's effects, and they want to scare away the great scholars in the academy."

"It's possible!"

Liu Hong nodded and agreed with Wang Lei's analysis.

Zheng Xuan's eyes were full of anger, and he said: "Such a person is even more hateful."

Mr. Pang De raised his brows with a murderous look, and said in a deep voice: "After the person behind the scenes is caught, we must let the scholars of the world know his evil deeds. No matter who it is, they must pay the price."

This era is the world of scholars.

Assassinating a great Confucian, especially a great Confucian who taught in an academy, is even more unforgivable.

To do so is to oppose the scholars all over the world.

Zheng Xuan changed the subject, and suddenly said: "Zhou Mu, could it be Yuan Shao?"

"It's possible, but it's still uncertain who it is." Wang Lei thought for a while and said, "It's impossible for someone like a yellow scarf to assassinate a great Confucian. Yuan Shao and I are fighting, and Yuan Jun has not been able to make a breakthrough for a long time. He intends to use assassination It is reasonable for a great Confucian to disturb Jizhou and ease the pressure on the front line. But apart from Yuan Shao, Li Ru from Chang’an is also suspected. Who it is is still uncertain.”

Liu Hong said: "I think Yuan Shao is more suspected."

Wang Lei said: "We can't make a conclusion on this matter for the time being. If you think it is Yuan Shao first, it will easily affect your judgment. We will make a decision after the investigation is clear."

Zheng Xuan nodded and stopped talking.

A group of people came to the house of the great Confucian who fell into the water and died the day before yesterday. At this time, the family was wearing sackcloth and mourning, and they were extremely sad.Just imagine, the family is counting on this man, but the pillar suddenly collapsed, and the family's hesitation can be imagined.

Wang Lei entered the house, comforted Daru's family members, and ordered Xun Chen to ensure that Daru's relatives lived in peace.

After staying for about a quarter of an hour, Wang Lei left with a group of people.

The second person to visit was the Confucian who fell into the water yesterday.

The situation of this great Confucianist is different.He is not from Ye County, he came to Ye County alone.After falling into the water and dying, only the servants from his hometown were left in the family to take care of the funeral affairs.

Wang Lei expressed condolences, asked Xun Chen to arrange the funeral, and then went to the home of the great Confucian who fell into the water today.

When he came to the third house, Wang Lei comforted his family again.

After walking through three houses in a row, Wang Lei felt very heavy when he saw sad faces.

The people behind the scenes are so hateful that they actually attacked the great Confucianism.

Wang Lei sent Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Pang Degong and others back to the academy and the state pastoral mansion, waiting for news from Jia Xu.To verify the specific news, you have to rely on Anbu, which is run by Jia Xu.

In the middle of the night, Jia Xu hurried over.

After entering the study, Jia Xu bowed and said, "My lord, after careful investigation, I haven't found any clues yet. I have targeted Yuan Shao and Li Ru from Chang'an, and I have mobilized the people from Anbu to investigate This matter. I estimate that it will take three to five days to get the news."

Wang Lei thought for a while, and then ordered: "The Anbu is investigating in secret, and someone must investigate on the bright side. You are responsible for this matter yourself, and you can't be sloppy. Once the safety of the Confucian scholars cannot be guaranteed, it will be extremely detrimental to us."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "My lord, don't worry, I will take care of it. However, scholars are all arrogant. This time, the assassination incident, the lower officials think, should be made public. The scholars know that the people behind the scenes want to threaten with assassination My lord, if you use assassination to intimidate and make trouble, the arrogance in your bones will burst out, and you will definitely not leave easily, and you can even unite people's hearts for the lord."

"It's a good suggestion and worth doing." Wang Lei nodded.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said: "Since that's the case, the lower officials will do their best to operate this matter, and control the public opinion and momentum in their hands. In this way, even if there are repeated assassinations, they will not be too passive."

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

"Since that's the case, the next official will make arrangements and take the situation into his own hands."

When Jia got up to say goodbye, Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief.It's just that no matter how Jia Xu alleviates it, there is still a result in the end, and the person behind the scenes must be found out.
