Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 549: The Man in Black

Zhang Li was poisoned. Fortunately, Hua Yu's methods were not bad, and there was nothing wrong with treating him in time. To a certain extent, it still caused panic among the officials. After all, this was in Chang'an. Zhang Li's status was important, and he was still assassinated, so the impact was still great. Big, this also caused some officials in the city to feel insecure.

After Jia Rong went to visit in person, he walked out of Zhang's mansion with a gloomy expression. Guo Jia and Zhang Li, both of them are the core figures of the Xiliang Army. The plot of the people in the night is not small. Normally, if such an organization enters Chang'an City, someone should be aware of it. Could it be that there are internal traitors in the city who have an affair with the man in black?A question flashed in Jia Rong's mind.

The Xiliang army is no longer the small team that had thousands of troops in its hands, but no more than a few people, and the number of officials under its control is unknown. Even if the solitary wolves were dispatched by God, they would not be able to investigate everyone very carefully. The heavy armor of the Xiliang Army appeared in Xuzhou City, but Heaven’s Punishment still hasn’t found out. Those who can smuggle weapons from the Xiliang Army to merchants must have a high position in Chang’an. After that incident, Jia Rong increased the management of the craftsman workshop.

"What's the progress?" Jia Rong called Zhang Xiu and Wang Yue together and asked.

The two shook their heads one after another. Except for the man in black that Wang Yue met in Fenglailou today, all the others fled. And the man in black in Fenglailou was carrying a dagger. It can be seen that, These people belonged to a group, and the assassination of Zhang Li and Guo Jia was premeditated. I am afraid that the plot of these men in black is even bigger.

"My lord, could it be that the princes of the Central Plains did it?" Wang Yue questioned.

Jia Rong nodded slightly. This cannot be ruled out. The princes of the Central Plains will certainly not sit back and watch the Xiliang Army grow stronger, especially Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Cao Cao of the Central Plains. They know the strength of the Xiliang Army. , in time, no one in the world can match, and everything in the Xiliang Army is closely related to Jia Rong. Without Jia Rong, the entire Xiliang Army will immediately become a mess. After all, Jia Rong did not claim to be king or emperor. All the advisers and generals are still stuck in the thinking of the rule of the Han Dynasty. Once Jia Rong is ill, how many people can really help Jia Rong's heirs, especially those generals and officials who have taken refuge in the Xiliang Army, I am afraid that they will immediately pack up and flee Also unknown.

"Could it be that the man in black in Fenglailou is targeting me today?" Jia Rong asked.

In the Fenglai building, a man in black appeared next to his box. This is very important news. [

"Who is the owner of Fenglai Tower?" Jia Rong asked.

"The owner of Fenglai Building, surnamed Feng, is said to be a wealthy businessman in the Central Plains. He has quite a fortune and is generous. He has a good reputation among Chang'an merchants." Zhang Xiu said.

"Surnamed Feng?" Jia Rong kept imagining, but he still didn't realize when he had seen a person surnamed Feng.

"Start with the owner of Fenglailou, remember, don't startle the snake." He and his officials went to Fenglailou for dinner many times, Lone Wolf and Tianzhu probably have already checked out the details of Fenglailou.

"promise!"

Chang'an City is calm on the surface, but in reality it is undercurrents. Both Zhang Li and Guo Jia were assassinated yesterday, which caused a turbulent wave in the upper echelon of Chang'an. Their identities are so important in the Xiliang Army. They were actually assassinated in Chang'an City. Many officials While rejoicing that his identity was not enough to attract attention, he also began to think about the purpose behind this incident. Losing Guo Jia and Zhang Li was equivalent to cutting off Jia Rong's right and left arms, and the meaning was obvious.

Lone wolf soldiers and assassins keep appearing in the mansions of various officials and restaurants in the city, but these people are dressed in the same way as ordinary drinkers. Well, the lone wolf soldier was better at being familiar with Chang'an, and the two parties were excited to see who could find out the identity of the man in black first.

The owner of Fenglailou did not have any abnormalities. According to the information, her behavior was exactly the same as usual, and she seemed to be unaware of what happened in the city.

"There are many fine wines in Fenglai Tower." Wang Yue suddenly thought of this, and immediately went to the place where the wine was produced.

With the development of Chang'an, the artisan workshop has been expanded to the greatest extent. The place where weapons are made has been moved outside the city and guarded by soldiers. The place where Xianlian, Moonlight Cup and wine are produced is inside the city.

Wang Yue found Liu Tiejiang, who was in charge of wine production, and asked what happened.

Walking out of the craftsman's workshop, Wang Yue became even more confused. The wine in Fenglailou was actually given by Jia Rong.

Hearing what Wang Yue said, Jia Rong was secretly startled, when did he give the order about Hefeng Lailou?

After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly occurred to me that when I left Chang'an, I had entrusted Zhang Zhao, Zhang Li and Jia Xu with all the affairs in the city, and perhaps it was at that time that I ordered the wine to be supplied to Fenglailou.

The more investigations became more troublesome, Jia Rong had no choice but to continue the investigation. No matter how many important figures were involved, Jia Rong would not hesitate. If these unstable factors were not removed for a day, Jia Rong would not feel at ease. Who knew that these people would He would not jump out at a critical moment and assassinate himself. Dong Zhuo's death was a lesson learned from the past. With such strict protection, he was still assassinated, although that incident had something to do with him. [

Suddenly, Jia Rong became worried about his own safety. As the general of the Xiliang Army, he had never thought about his safety. After today's incident, he found that the Xiliang Army's control over Chang'an was far from enough, and it was difficult to protect these black people. When will the man in clothes come to do that, he has some martial arts skills, and the guards around him are strong, but it doesn't matter, if his wife and children make any mistakes, it will hit Jia Rong the hardest.

He hurriedly got up, walked around the general's mansion, knocked on the door of his wife one by one, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he gave instructions to the lone wolf soldiers before he fell asleep with peace of mind.

With a big family and a big career, naturally there will be more worries. If Jia Rong was not married and had no children, these people would not be enough to threaten him.

When such a thing happened in Chang'an City, the lone wolf soldiers guarded the general's mansion more tightly. Even if a fly flew in, it would be found. The servants inside and outside became the focus of attention. will mix with these people.

For three days in a row, there was still no progress. All the clues were cut off when they arrived at Fenglai Tower. Jia Rong had indeed ordered the supply of their wine, and the owner of Fenglai Tower also had contacts with officials of the Xiliang Army. But these are not enough to prove that Fenglailou is the stronghold of men in black. In Chang'an, there are hundreds of restaurants of all sizes, and there are not a few of them related to the Xiliang Army. They help the Xiliang Army dump goods to the Central Plains. Become Chang'an's main source of income and cannot be offended.

The bank is being established, and it is impossible to have a big effect in a short period of time. If the Xiliang army wants to develop, it must rely on these merchants. The powerful Xiliang army does not rely on the meager taxes on the land, but on the merchants.

"How did the investigation go? The person who sold weapons to Xuzhou back then must have something to do with him." Jia Rong suddenly thought of what he discovered when he was in Xuzhou a few years ago.

Zhang Xiudao: "All the affairs of the past were handled by the military adviser. It is said that an official opened the warehouse privately, sold weapons to the merchants, and was executed by the military adviser. The matter will not be resolved."

Jia Rong nodded slightly, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He dared to sell the weapons of the Xiliang Army to outside merchants privately. He must have extraordinary strength in Chang'an. It was also because of this back then that he didn't continue to investigate strictly. He didn't expect it to be many years later. Suddenly, a strange man in black appeared in the city.

"The man in black may have nothing to do with that incident. Pay close attention to the movement in the city, protect the officials, and make no mistakes."

The assassination of Zhang Li and Guo Jia still caused a certain amount of disturbance among the upper echelons of the Xiliang Army. They dare not imagine anyone so bold as to commit an assassination in Chang'an City.

Let's say that after Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou, he restored normal production order and encouraged the people to cultivate. Under the influence of Cao Cao, the land of the Central Plains gradually returned to calm. At this time, Cao Cao was full of ambition, The great enemy Liu Bei was disintegrated and fled to Jingzhou. Yuan Shao only had one state in Jizhou, which was not enough to have a big influence on him. Liu Biao of Jingzhou was also not a concern. His biggest enemy might be the Xiliang army far away in Chang'an.

However, Cao Cao has sufficient confidence. Within three years, the entire Central Plains will be in his pocket. At that time, he will have the power to fight against the Xiliang Army. It is not impossible to take the opportunity to dominate the world. The new sage is enthroned, and he is a courtier of celebrities through the ages, what an honor.

The emperor was assassinated and killed, the lord of the world, Cao "Cao" asked himself, and he also had the opportunity to be honored in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Different times created different people. The previous Cao "Cao" just wanted to be a loyal minister and general, assisting the Han Dynasty to rejuvenate, and then The name has been left in history, and under the influence of power, it has also grown accordingly, but it still hasn't gotten rid of that shackles, and the matter of proclaiming emperor will not be considered at all.

Officials have repeatedly mentioned the matter of making Cao Cao the king of Wei. Of course, these people are flattering Cao Cao and do not understand the gains and losses of being king. A bold one proclaimed himself emperor directly, but in the end, under the attack of the princes, he collapsed and became the laughing stock of the world.

Cao "Cao" also understands the power of it, and dare not speak out about the matter of becoming a king. The opposite sex cannot be king. This is a rule. Once it is broken, the whole world will fall into a situation where there are princes and emperors everywhere.

When it stabilized, Cao Cao also began to rectify the affairs under his rule. He wanted to fully control the area under his control. The aristocratic family was extremely powerful, and Cao Cao didn't want to provoke it. The strategy he adopted for the time being was to cooperate with them and give others Enough benefits, unlike the Xiliang army, which completely offended the family, there was no room for change, and the ones who were drawn were also low-status businessmen and craftsmen.
