The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

After a long while, Zu Zhao came to his senses, and he asked the royal officer: "This is impossible, I waited not long before I came out of the Taishou Mansion, at that time the assassins had already fled, and Lord Taishou should also be under the protection of the guards, how could I still let the assassins succeed?" My lord, are you mistaken?

The Wang officer sighed again, shook his head very entangledly, and said, "How can this be wrong? The assassin disguised himself as a servant of the Taishou Mansion and poisoned Liu Taishou while serving tea, and not only that, but also stabbed Liu Taishou with a poisonous hairpin. Earlier, there was definite news from the Taishou Mansion, and Liu Taishou had... Death..."

Zu Zhao's face was gloomy, and it seemed that the situation was not much different from what he had guessed, and this assassination operation was indeed interlocking.

He took a deep breath to calm his emotions first, and now he had to think carefully about the whole incident.

Why did these people assassinate Liu Taishou, how did they succeed, and what kind of benefits can the main messenger behind the scenes get from it? Questions like these are like flying flowers, lingering in my mind. In addition, the more important question is what is the connection between this assassination and the Lingzhi County case!

It's just that there is no way to sort out so many clues for a while.

The only thing Zu Zhao can be sure of is that if Liu Taishou is assassinated, Youbeiping County will definitely fall into chaos in the next period of time, and there are only a few months left before the Yellow Turban Uprising, which will inevitably make things worse at that time.

Thinking of this, he furrowed his brows, and hurriedly asked the Wang Duty Officer again: "Who is in charge of the Taishou Mansion now?" But Sun Changshi, or Wen Duwei?

The officer replied: "Sun Changshi is also seriously injured at this time, and the assassin assassinated Liu Tai Punctually, and Sun Changshi was on the side, but he also failed to escape." Shi Cai received a report that Wen Duwei was still leading people in the city to arrest the fleeing assassins, and it was not clear what was going on in the Taishou Mansion.

Zu Zhao couldn't help but feel strange, and asked, "Then who issued all the orders in the city now?"

Wang said: "It was temporarily drafted by the county government of Pinggang County, saying that it would send people to the state capital to report after dawn." "

Zu Zhao can't pay attention to it a little in his heart, why hasn't anyone from the Taishou Mansion stood up to take charge, and it was the turn of the county government to give orders on his behalf, what is the situation? But even so, he knew that the most critical things now were not these, Liu Taishou and Sun Changshi were killed one after another, the first two senior officials of the Taishou Mansion were missing, and presumably the officials of other functional divisions may also have casualties, and almost the Taishou Mansion was temporarily paralyzed.

Thinking about it, anyway, Liu Taishou has never done anything real in office on weekdays, and whether he is paralyzed or not is actually not much of a direct impact.

"That's it," Zu Zhao didn't think much about anything else for the time being, and then said, "I'll go to the Taishou Mansion first." Saying

goodbye from the city tower, Zu Zhao and his party then rode back to Taishou Mansion.

Along the way, the city was deserted and lonely than before. After several twists and turns in one night, I am afraid that many ordinary people will be frightened early. I haven't encountered such a big change for many years, and it is sudden, and there is really a bit of foreboding that the troubled times are coming. There were still some sounds in the distance, dogs barking, horses' hooves, sporadic shouts, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west. Although it is so far away, it always gives people a sense of sadness that only adds to the disturbance.

Returning to Taishou Mansion, the fire in the west courtyard seemed to be under control, but there were still flames burning in the sky.

On the streets around the Taishou Mansion, many people gathered, including the disciples of the county government and the Taishou Mansion, as well as the soldiers drawn from the two prefectures, as well as the guards of the Taishou Mansion itself. People come and go, lights are everywhere, and there is a tense atmosphere of the approaching war. Even the houses near the Taishou Mansion, in such an atmosphere, even if the door is closed, it is inevitable that they will be involved.

The soldiers who were patrolling saw Zu Zhao and his party appear at the end of the street, and a team of people quickly caught up.

After a lot of twists and turns, Zu Zhao and his party were finally brought into the Taishou Mansion.

At this moment, the chaos in the Taishou Mansion is far more complicated than the door, even messy.

The west and north courtyards were full of blood, like slaughterhouses. In addition to these two courtyards, most of the other places became places to house the wounded, with guards and guests, subordinate officials and servants. The whole Taishou Mansion was full of mourning, howling, screaming, and talking, one after another, compared with the loneliness of entering the city along the way, there was really a great contrast.

After some inquiry, Zu Zhaofang learned that Wen Duwei had received a notice to return to the Taishou Mansion, and he was originally going to inquire about the specific situation of Liu Taishou, on the one hand, the matter was too sensitive, and on the other hand, the mansion was in chaos, and there was no one to entertain him. So, he could only go to a stable in the north courtyard to see Wen Chou first.

Wen Chou was not because he had just returned, but for the convenience of traveling at any time, so the stable in the north courtyard was temporarily set up as a military order office.

Finally found a guard to report on his behalf, and Zu Zhao came to the stable of the North Courtyard to meet with Wen Chou.

Wen Chou knew Zu Zhao, and before Liu Taishou was killed, he also heard Liu Taishou and others say that it was Zu Zhao who was able to save him when he was in danger. His impression of Zu Zhao is still very good, but he is too busy at the moment, and Wu Fu has a rough temper, so the tone of his voice is not only impatient, but also a little urging.

Zu Zhao kept his composure, and patiently reported the matter of tracking the Black Arrow Female Thief to Wen Chou, hoping that Wen Chou could allocate some people as much as possible and follow his own plan to replace Zu Ling and the others to continue to follow.

After listening to Zu Zhao's words, Wen Chou pondered for a while, and said very rudely: "Shicai, if we didn't go after the thieves, but stayed in the Taishou Mansion, Lord Liu might not have an accident. At present, Lord Liu was unfortunately killed, and many of the subordinate officials in the mansion were also injured in the North Courtyard. As for the black arrow female thief you are talking about, is she a very important person, how can I believe it based on one-sided words alone?

Zu Ji, who was following Zu Zhao, was very dissatisfied with Wen Chou's attitude, he was young and frivolous, and he didn't care so much, so he stepped forward and shouted: "Our eldest prince has said everything so clearly, but you still don't believe it, what does it mean."

Wen Chou was not a Sven person, but when he heard Zu Zhao's provocation, he became angry, and said angrily: "Hmph, Ben Du Wei is doing things, do you still need to wait to teach?"

Zu Zhao signaled to Zu Ji not to talk nonsense, to keep his mind calm, and said: "Wen Duwei, this matter is big, but it is just a person who is selected to be three or five capable people, whether it succeeds or not, it will only be beneficial to the overall situation and will not be harmful." Why not give it a try?

Wen Chou's face was still gloomy, and after he took a deep breath, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You don't know, it's not that I don't want to send people." Presumably tracking down that black arrow thief, I have more important things to do right now. You went to the county government to participate in the inspection this time, and Lu Wei was actually one of them, not to mention this, how did those assassins infiltrate the Taishou Mansion? The maid who assassinated Liu Taishou is still a cronie maid who has been in the house for many years. Don't you see the conspiracy?

After hearing Wen Chou's words, Zu Zhao couldn't help but move his eyebrows. He naturally knew that there must be a not simple inside story behind this series of things, but now it seems that Wen Chou obviously knows more information, or the answer to some questions. Immediately, he asked, "Lord Wen, what do you mean...?"

Wen Chou Zhengse, but still lowered his voice and said: "I suspect that someone in the county is planning a rebellion!"

Zu Zhao's heart was pounding, and his face became more and more grim. He actually had such an expectation, after all, it would not be easy for Hu Ren to be entangled with Taiping Dao. It's just that he still can't think clearly, if it weren't for Taiping Dao planning this series of things behind the scenes, who else in Youbeiping County would set off such a big move?

He sighed and said, "Lord Duwei, how can you see it?

Wen Chou shook his head slowly, as if he didn't want to say anything, he said: "Shicai Wen personally tortured several arrested assassins, and also took down the Changcheng County Governor who escorted Lu Wei to the county government. In short, Wen knows that Zu Yishi is a righteous person, so he revealed these words to you, and there is no need to ask more about the details. I'm afraid that my Youzhou will not be peaceful in the future.

Although Wen Chou didn't say it too clearly, Zu Zhao still easily understood the other party's hints. He saluted Wen Chou with a fist and said, "Thank you Lord Commander for your trust." If there is anything that the Captain needs to help, but he will be told.

Wen Chou said majestically: "There are many people now, and the ancestors are kind to Wen. In the next few days, the county government will inevitably strengthen martial law, and Zu Yishi and others should leave as soon as possible. As for the results of the inspection, after Wen Mouhui discussed with Zhang Xianjun, he reported it to the state capital, and the state government decided on it.

Zu Zhao nodded slightly, but his face was still a little worried.

Wen Chou knew that Zu Zhao was still concerned about tracking down the black arrow female thief, and he said: "Zu Yishi, Wen knows that you have a loyal heart, but I would like to advise you, this matter is very complicated, and it is best not to implicate Zu Yishi." That's it.

Zu Zhao nodded again and said, "I understand."

Wen Chou arched his hand: "Shu Wen will not send it." "

Coming out of the Taishou Mansion, Zu Zhao and the others returned to the pavilion where they stayed before.

Zu Ji was very anxious, since Wen Chou refused to send someone to take over the pursuit of the Black Arrow female thief, then this matter would fall through nine times out of ten. After walking back and forth in the pavilion several times, he finally couldn't help but find Zu Zhao and asked, "Eldest prince, what should we do now?" You can't let Uncle Ling and them continue to take risks, right? Or, I'll go instead.

Zu Zhao had been meditating, even if Zu Ji was talking on the side, he didn't take it to heart. After continuing to be silent for a long time, he suddenly figured out something, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "After Uncle Ling sends someone back to inform the whereabouts, I will stop it immediately and return to Xu Wuxian as soon as possible."

Zu Ji was surprised: "Ah, is it really that?"

Zu Zhao said solemnly: "When the big thing is coming, there is no need to say anything else. Do as I say.

Zu Ji saw that Zu Zhao was so determined, so he didn't think much about anything else.
