A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 308 Xiang Zhuang Dances the Sword Intended for Pei Gong
"Erlang never thought that they would randomly bring out a few scapegoats?"

Dou Lu Huairang asked.

"I just don't want them to be led by the nose. We are turning passive into active," Wu Huaiyu directly summoned the six soldiers, expressing their attitude to the six powerful men in Lingzhou, and even passing on a message.

He has told them directly that the actions of those people are now regarded as rebellion.

These two words are what Wu Huaiyu really wants to convey, rebellion.

If the two words of rebellion are true, even if the six great powers are in Lingzhou now, they will be uprooted and even wiped out.

This is the most powerful killing move.

Of course, Wu Huaiyu really has no evidence now, but in the face of rebellion, sometimes it doesn't need to be so troublesome, you can put down the rebellion first and then slowly add evidence.

If they don't want to be accused of rebellion and treason and be exterminated, then they must give Wu Huaiyu an explanation, not just a simple explanation.

Randomly carry a few scapegoats?

You ask Wu Huaiyu whether he will agree or not, and ask the court whether he will agree.

"If the masterminds behind the scenes are these six major families, then they have no way out, and I'm afraid they will be even more stubborn to the end?"

Wu Huaiyu smiled.

"Let's make them mess up first. Today I told the six soldiers that they were accused of plotting a rebellion. After a while, I will have people summon all the officials and tycoons in Lingzhou. I will tell all of them, Some people reported that they participated in the conspiracy and rebellion, and they were the accomplices behind the scenes."

"I'll give them all a three-day ultimatum."

Put some pressure on everyone and detain a suspicion of treason.

"and then?"

"Then we waited for General Su from Yanzhou to lead his troops, and at the same time watched how they suspected each other and fought each other, and at the same time tracked down the assassin and found the mastermind behind it.

I believe there will always be people who can't help it. Not everyone can bear the crime of conspiracy and rebellion. As long as someone starts to confess, no matter what they confess, they will be clues, they will help us, and they will start to disintegrate. The local forces in Lingzhou made them no longer monolithic. "

When the six big families really put out a few scapegoats, then Wu Huaiyu can bring a few more unlucky ones. In the face of death, especially when the clan is involved, who will care about the six big families?
At that time, in order to make meritorious service and atone for sins, I am afraid that I will explain what should be said and what should not be said. Even if I don't know much, there will always be gains, and it will even make the various forces in Lingzhou no longer have trust.

As long as it gets messy, there will be gaps, and it is easy to show your feet.

"Actually, this assassination may not necessarily be planned by the six major families. I guess at least the six major families did not plan it together. It is impossible for the six major families to be so stupid when it is such a big deal."

Only a few people with simple minds or extreme personalities would do such a thing.The last time Wu Huaiyu was assassinated, the governor Li Daozong was still a famous king of the clan, and they were all recalled to Chang'an and demoted to idle positions. Chang Shi Sima was also directly dismissed from his post. Almost all other Lingzhou officials were implicated, either demoted or fined, or failed the assessment.

This time, he assassinated three times at a time. The result was not found the previous time, and now he is doing it again. If he does this, he is really challenging the authority of the court.

But no one in their right mind would do that.

But I can't stand it, and there are those extreme people.

But such people are definitely very rare, so there is a high probability that this incident was done by local tycoons, but it was just their own private behavior, at most it was done by a few such idiots.

"How do we stop this time?" Although Doulu Huairang has always been afraid of death, he is a smart person. Wu Huaiyu said that they rebelled, but the court cannot really characterize them as rebellious without evidence. If it is not destroyed, Lingzhou can't fall into chaos first.

"What is the cause of this incident?" Huaiyu asked.

"It's because the imperial court is dissatisfied with Lingzhou's long-standing sales of money castings and casting of private money, and they want to ban money from entering Shuofang. We hope that the local snakes in Lingzhou will take the initiative to stop selling money castings and casting private money. Open copper mines, cast utensils and make coins."

"That's right, everything started because of this, so we have to return to the source in the end. We must not forget our original intention. We must find out and punish the mastermind of the assassination, but it is impossible to implicate all local snakes because of this. This will cause chaos in Lingzhou ,
We just need to borrow the heads of those idiots to warn other monkeys, and take advantage of the situation to do what we were supposed to do. "

Meals are eaten at one bite, and the road is walked step by step.

It is unrealistic to shovel the entire Lingzhou local snakes, because this is not just a matter of a few local tyrants, in fact, the entire Lingzhou is somewhat turned into a feudal town, and all aspects are tied together up and down, pulling the whole body.

You must be careful not to hit too much.

In the end, what is needed is to be able to sit down and talk, sit down and exchange chips, and compromise is needed. This is politics.

If you do it right away, you may be the enemy of everyone in the end.

If there is chaos in Lingzhou, then the final result, regardless of other people, anyway, these chief officials will not end well. Even if the disturbance is too severe and the court is uncertain for a while, they may be pushed out directly Take the blame and scapegoat to quell the turmoil.

This kind of thing is actually very common.

Sometimes the imperial court will not tell you so many twists and turns, it will be more realistic.

For Huaiyu and the others, this is a test of their abilities.

Now that I have to get things done, I can't put myself in it yet.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wu Huaiyu hesitated for a while, and finally went to visit Li Sanniang. She was in good spirits. She was already a martial arts practitioner, and her body was relatively strong. The sleeve arrows were less injured than ordinary crossbows. The most dangerous thing was Fortunately, the poison attached to her was rescued in time, especially when Huaiyu gave her the poison in the first place, it still played a lot of role.

Seeing Huaiyu coming, she was so happy that she even got up.

"Don't move, you lie down well, don't touch the wound,"

Fan Wuniang and Shi Shiniang took turns to take care of Li Sanniang, and the maidservant explained her situation to Huaiyu. She was in good spirits and ate something.

"I'm fine, don't worry, it's just a small injury. Last year, I, Brother Aye, and the others were trapped in Huining Pass. There were more than ten bloody battles. They were injured in countless places. There was no good flesh on my body. When I arrived, there were some people in the pass. Wounded soldiers, because of the lack of medical treatment, the wounds even had maggots,

I put this little injury on theirs, it can't be called an injury, "

Jiangmen Tiger Girl is really powerful.

But when she was hugged by Huaiyu when she returned to the city earlier, she seemed as weak as if she was about to die. Now it seems that her acting skills are quite good.

Facing her fiery gaze and undisguised affection, Wu Huaiyu just pretended not to see it.

He can accept the Gao sisters, accept the Fan sisters, and even be rude to Irina, Fresta, etc., because of their different identities.

Back then when Zhang Chuchen gave Runniang to Huaiyu as his concubine, Huaiyu didn't hesitate.

But Li Sanniang's identity is there, this is a thunder pool, so don't go one step further.

It's like Gao Huitong, the swordsman, charming and charming, but he dare not have the slightest idea about this sister-in-law, because she is the emperor's woman.

With Li Sanniang's status, it is impossible to be a concubine.

Of course, it is impossible for the two of them to have any extramarital affairs. If she is a widow who lost her husband, or even a Taoist nun from a noble family, it is easy to say, just like Cheng Yaojin and Cui Widow are well known in Chang'an, but so what.

But Li Sanniang, a young and unmarried daughter of a noble family, is untouchable.

It's a crime to think about it.

If Wu Huaiyu dared to mess around a bit, he would not be able to get along in the entire aristocratic circle in the future, and it would even affect the Wu family and so on.

Hooking up with a widow would at most make people say that you are young and flirtatious. If you have a wife and hook up with a famous unmarried daughter, that is a bad character, and you will even be impeached and punished by the censor.

Sitting there was a little awkward, comforted Li Sanniang a few words, and then solemnly expressed her gratitude, Huaiyu got up to leave.

"Don't go."

Li Sanniang begs to stay.

Huaiyu could only find an excuse to leave, since it was impossible, he couldn't pass on any mistakes to others, and couldn't let mistakes add to mistakes.

Fan Wuniang watched this scene silently, feeling a little sad for no reason.

In the past, it was very shameless for Li Sanniang to hook up with a married man.

But now, she is no longer blindly condemning the mentality, but a little sympathetic and pitiful.

Get out of the room.

Li Deju was standing outside the door.

"My lord, can we talk?"

Huaiyu said helplessly, "I really don't mean anything that I shouldn't have. This is a complete misunderstanding."

Li Dezhen was also very helpless. Although he was not young, he still couldn't understand this kind of love between children, but he really couldn't blame Wu Huaiyu, after all, Wu Huaiyu had always had a clear and clear attitude.

On the contrary, it is my niece who has been entangled all the time, which is a bit embarrassing to say.

"I watched Sanniang grow up. She has always been a very nice girl. I don't know why when I met you, I became like a demon now."

Huaiyu could only helplessly say, "The young one is impulsive. Sanniang still needs to take care of you. When she recovers from her injuries, you can send her back to Chang'an as soon as possible. It would be inconvenient to stay here."

"I'm sorry to trouble you sir."

"Erlang, don't say such outrageous things, Sanniang is also my senior sister."

Both of them sighed.

Huaiyu turned and left, and Li Deju stood there looking at his back for a long time. He had a wife, concubine and concubine, but it was really hard for him to understand his niece's feelings.

Feel very sudden, very stubborn.

But he couldn't persuade him, he could only have a headache. He had already written to Chang'an's parents to explain the situation. As for how to deal with it in the end, he couldn't figure it out either.

But he knew that Wu Huaiyu couldn't be blamed for this matter, if Wu Huaiyu deliberately seduced him, then he would beat him without hesitation.

"The Li family are all stubborn." He could only sigh.

A very luxurious mansion in Lingzhou City is the mansion of the Cao family, the largest family in Lingzhou.

The Patriarch of the Cao family decisively surrendered to Li Yuan, who was in Chang'an, and brought the powerful officials of Lingzhou to Tang. What he got in exchange was a county prince, his son, and a county marquis. He also served as the governor of Lingzhou for a short time. After that, he also served as an official in Chang'an for two years, and then he was sent to Shu to serve as the governor.

He has been away for many years, and here in Lingzhou, his father Cao Taigong is now in charge of the house. Cao Taigong, who is very old, is on crutches, but his hearing and eyesight are still very healthy.

After listening to the eldest grandson Cao Xuan's talk about Wu Huaiyu's summoning today, Mr. Cao lit his crutches on the ground with a bang, "This young military commander Shi is really good at tricks. This is forcing us to find out the assassin. Hand it over, and even make us compromise, agreeing to stop the business of selling money casting tools and casting private money."

"Let's just ignore him. Did he say three days? As long as we in Lingzhou unite as one, the imperial court can't do anything to us."

"Wu Huaiyu is young, do you really think we are easy to bully?"

Grandpa Cao let out a long sigh, and was very disappointed with the elder grandson's reaction. Although it was said that Cao Xuan was young, promising, courageous and resourceful, the old grandpa felt that this child lacked experience after all, so he could say such a thing.

Linking the assassination with the conspiracy and rebellion, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Peigong.

No matter how powerful the tycoon is, how can he resist the central government.

Thinking back to the time of Eastern and Western Wei, their ancestor Cao Ni was the governor. They wanted to befriend Gao Huan and fight Guanzhong Yuwentai, but in the end they were defeated twice by Yuwentai who only occupied Guanzhong. Abandon Lingzhou and run eastward.

How can the current Tang Dynasty be the same as the Western Wei Dynasty back then. Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, was the general who led the troops to besiege the broken city of Lingzhou.

When the world was in chaos, the corner of Lingzhou couldn't resist the Western Wei Dynasty, which only ruled in Guanzhong, how could they resist the imperial court now.

"This time it's menacing, we must protect ourselves wisely, my Cao family must not be labeled as a rebellion, you should hurry up and find out who is so stupid to dare to attack Lingzhou Governor, Chang Shi, and Sima at the same time,

With so many assassins dispatched at once, most people don’t have that ability, if we really need to investigate, there will always be clues.”

Cao Xuan was surprised.

"Grandpa, we didn't do it, why are we afraid they will label you indiscriminately?"

"Although I don't know who did it, I support him in my heart. The three of Xue Wanche, Wuhuai, Yudou and Lu Huairang are very greedy. We have already given away so much profit to them, but they are not very popular, and they are so greedy every step of the way. Pressing, now someone has made a move, although it didn't succeed, it can only be said that it's a pity,

Why should we check for him? "

Cao Taigong angrily raised his crutches and wanted to teach him a lesson, "The catastrophe of genocide is imminent, but you are still indifferent. You said that you can't read more when you have time, and you hunt and play with hawks and dogs every day. Can you do something serious?"

Cao Xuan is tall and heroic, and he is good at riding and shooting, but he can't read a few big characters. He has no interest in reading since he was a child, and he has a headache when he reads.

Every time he was taught a lesson by his husband, he would say that he is a Hun, read some Han books, and just learn how to ride and shoot well.

"Go and investigate right away, use all your connections, and call Liu Xian, he has read more books than you, and his mind is more active. Wu Huaiyu gave you three days, I only give you two days, and you must find out the results.

Not only do I want you to find out who is behind the assassination, but you also have to find a few assassins who escaped and hid. Now is the time for the life and death of our Cao family. The catastrophe of family ruin 90 years ago. "

"I also want to contact the old immortals of Liu Han's family. This matter was forged for private reasons, and it seems that it has to be forged privately." Lao Cao sighed, and in the current situation, he could only follow the trend.

It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that each family will suffer heavy losses.
