Zhu Chen had already thought of his words before coming to the General's Mansion. When he met Meng Shixiong, he not only told what he heard today, but also told all the complaints Yue Xifeng had made for a long time. These things were all discussed in the City Lord's Mansion.
not a secret
, any person with connections could be sent to find out, so Meng Shixiong could be sure that Zhu Chen did not lie. Because of this, Meng Shixiong was furious.
In the eyes of Meng Shixiong, who is Yue Xifeng? Even Yue Conghai is a fool! If Yue Congshan hadn't died in an accident and Yue Xiaolin was too young, he would never have been able to take the position of city lord.
! Originally Meng
Shixiong and Yue Conghai refused to deal with each other. For the sake of the overall situation, Yue Conghai became the city lord, so he tolerated it. He originally thought that after a few decades, it would be fine when Yue Xiaolin grew up and became the city lord. Unexpectedly,
That stupid woman Yue Xifeng actually
She wanted to seize the inheritance rights, but she even dared to say that she wanted to kill Yue Xiaolin! But Yue Conghai didn't even punish her!
Damn it! Meng Shixiong slammed the table and walked out the door angrily.
General Meng stayed behind! Zhao Buming grabbed Meng Shixiong and asked, where is the general going?
Do you still need to ask? Of course you should ask that bastard Yue Conghai for details!
General, wait a moment. Zhao Buming has a shrewd appearance and a quick mind. He is Meng Shixiong's staff and plays the role of military advisor. He grabbed Meng Shixiong and turned to Zhu Chen and asked, "Does anyone else know that you are here?"
No! Absolutely not! Zhu Chen said quickly.
Have you told others what you heard today? Zhao Buming asked again.
I only told my cousin Wang Liu. He asked me not to tell others, like Zhu Chen pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and told me the conversation between myself and Wang Liu.
Zhao Buming nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, we already know. Don't tell anyone else after you go back."
Well, I originally planned to go to the Song Mansion. There was a relative in my uncle's family who was in the Song Mansion. Zhu Chen said hesitantly.
The Song Mansion is, of course, the Song family's natal family. Zhao Buming shook his head and said: Don't go to the Song Mansion. It will only attract attention if you go. Mr. Song has already known this.
Huh? Zhu Chen was stunned.
Zhao Buming stared, "What? You don't believe what I said?"
No, no, Zhu Chen said hurriedly, of course I believe you.
That's good, remember not to tell anyone else, otherwise you may not be able to save your life. Zhao Buming said gloomily.
Zhu Chen was so frightened that he almost broke out in sweat, and hurriedly promised: I will not dare to talk too much, little one.
Zhao Buming winked at Meng Shixiong. Although Meng Shixiong had some doubts in his heart, Zhao Buming was his confidant and was always known for his shrewdness. He suppressed the anger in his heart and waved to Zhu Chen, asking him to retreat.
After meeting Meng Shixiong as he wished, Zhu Chen felt relieved and went back happily, thinking that he had done his best and let them big shots worry about the rest.
After Zhu Chen left, Meng Shixiong asked with a solemn face in the study: Military Advisor Zhao, what exactly do you have in mind?
Zhao Buming smiled slightly and said to Meng Shixiong: General, my subordinates feel that those words were said by Yue Xifeng. Yue Xifeng is ambitious and it is normal for her to want to kill Young Master Yue, but this may not be what Yue Conghai meant!
Affected by Meng Shixiong's attitude, Zhao Buming and other people in the general's palace did not call Yue Conghai the city lord in private, but called him by his first name.
Meng Shixiong was still angry, slammed his fist on the table, and said: But Yue Conghai didn't even punish Yue Xifeng, which shows that he may not take Xiaolin's life at heart! Even so, if the general goes to raise an army,
If asked, Yue Conghai would easily be fooled, and Yue Xifeng could deny it. Maybe they would bite back and accuse the general of alienating their uncle-nephew relationship, which would damage the general's reputation.
I'm afraid it's not good. Zhao Buming said.
As expected of an aide, this analysis is reasonable and reasonable. Meng Shixiong sighed and said: I am also worried that if there is something wrong with Xiaolin, there will be no heir to the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhao Buming rolled his eyes and asked: General, don't you mean that?
Meng Shixiong was stunned, what do you mean?
Are you saying that the general doesn't want to be like General Zhou in Yanlizhou? Zhao Buming asked in a low voice.
General Zhou? Meng Shixiong couldn't help but be stunned. General Zhou is Zhou Xinglai of Yanlizhou. Now he has completely emptied the city lord's palace and controls the whole state by himself. This has also brought a bad influence. The generals' palaces in several nearby states
, some active-minded people can’t sit still.
.This is the case with Zhao Buming. He has long heard about the conflicts within the city lord's palace. He feels that it is best for Meng Shixiong to stand still at this time. The best result is that Yue Conghai and Yue Xifeng kill Yue Xiaolin, and Meng Shixiong then takes revenge for Yue Xiaolin.
Kill Yue Conghai and Yue Xifeng, and control the overall situation of Hailuo Prefecture alone. By then, the City Lord's Mansion will be completely destroyed, and the reason is also on the side of the General's Mansion. Even the Xia Capital has no position to accuse. Zhao Buming stopped Zhu Chen from going to the Song Mansion,
Also for this purpose
Think about it and don't want to add unnecessary complications.
This topic is of course taboo, but Zhao Buming is Meng Shixiong's staff, and telling Meng Shixiong these things in private is also his fault, and Meng Shixiong will not blame him.
Meng Shixiong shook his head and said: I don't have that idea at the moment. Firstly, the old city lord treats me well; secondly, the city lord's mansion and the general's mansion co-govern the same state. This is a rule. I don't want to break the rules unless it is a last resort.
Zhao Buming wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Meng Shixiong waved his hand, interrupted him, and said: Bu Ming, you should think about how to protect Yue Xiaolin. Seeing Meng Shixiong's resolute attitude, Zhao Buming could only give up and stop talking about the topic in advance.
, said: I have just thought about it. To protect Young Master Yue, I am afraid that the power of the City Lord’s Mansion alone is not enough. I think we should send a few more people.
go.
Meng Shixiong thought for a while and said: Our people, Yue Conghai probably won't let them get close to Xiao Lin.
They were not allowed to go to the General's Mansion in the name of Zhao Buming and said, didn't Zhu Chen just say that there is also a man named Wang Liu who knows about this. That Wang Liu is a steward. Isn't it easy to arrange a few servants in the City Lord's Mansion?
Meng Shixiong's eyes lit up, this is a good idea, it will not attract anyone's attention!
Then my subordinates will arrange manpower now! Zhao Buming said with a smile. Well, Meng Shixiong said thoughtfully, it is not safe to send a few people in alone. I will think about it again and see if there is any other way.
