The first thousand two hundred and seventeenth chapter was suspicious
Xiao Wanding was escorted by hundreds of cavalry and arrived in front of the Qianniu Guards camp, but he did not dare to enter the opponent's camp. Although they were colleagues on the surface, they were deeply jealous of each other, and they were both afraid that the other party would swallow up their own troops.
If he entered the Qianniu Guards camp, his fate would be in the opponent's hands, and Xiao Wanding did not dare to take this risk.
Not long after, Dong Mian, deputy general of the Qianniu Guard, came out in a hurry, cupped his fists and said, "See you, Your Majesty!"
"Where is your general, why don't you come to see me?" Xiao Wanding said with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, the general is not in the military camp. He is on the city wall looking for the murderer. I have already sent someone to notify you."
"Hmph! You also know that he is the murderer. I just want an explanation. How are you going to deal with it?"
"We are investigating now. If found, we will definitely deal with it seriously?"
The fire in Xiao Wanding's heart arose, and he laughed angrily: "What does it mean to deal with it seriously? Are you planning to punish me with three drinks?"
"My lord, please don't say that. Once found, it will definitely be handled by military law. In the face of a powerful enemy, we will never tolerate this kind of cannibalism!"
"It sounds nice, but what if we can't find it?" Xiao Wanding asked with a sneer.
"As long as it is done by our army, it will definitely be found. It just takes a little time. Of course, there may also be someone pretending to be a Qianniu Guards soldier."
Xiao Wanding narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"
"My lord, do you think twenty-five Thousand Niu Guard soldiers can fight one against five and kill seventy-four Tiger Guard soldiers without hurting any of them and still escape unharmed?"
Xiao Wanding had a long face, "General Dong, do you mean that I, Xiao, am making up a story?"
"I don't dare to be humble, but there is indeed a third army in Luoyang City."
"Haha! I'll tell Wang Xianzhong this and see how Wang Xianzhong will deal with you."
Dong Mian secretly complained in his heart, he had known this result for a long time, and a third party should not be involved in this matter. I really don't know what the general was thinking.
"This is just a guess and there is no evidence, but no matter what, we will continue to search. Once the murderer is found, we will definitely punish him severely with military law and give your army an explanation. Please give us some time, Your Majesty."
Xiao Wanding also knew that the other party had indeed not found the murderer yet. There was no point in thinking about 'What should I do if I can't find it?' He nodded, "Okay! I'll give you a little more time. You must give me an explanation before noon tomorrow, otherwise
I'll figure it out myself!"
Dong Mian was silent. Xiao Wanding glanced at him and said: "In addition, please tell your general that in order to avoid conflicts between soldiers from the two armies, we hope to suspend the search for food and restrain the soldiers from returning to camp!"
"Biji is responsible for this matter. I fully agree with the general's suggestion to suspend the search for food and restrain the soldiers from leaving the camp."
This is a wise decision by both sides. Now the soldiers of both sides are very emotional. Once they meet on the street, they will definitely fight, and even bloody incidents will happen again. The senior officials of both sides are aware of this and try to restrain the troops and not let the incident expand.
This is because Jiang Min has a deep understanding of the conflicts between the two sides. As long as a bloody conflict occurs, both sides can only stop looting the city in order to avoid civil war. It can be said that Jiang Min's policy is very precise.
In the afternoon, the armies of both sides completely stopped their food search operations in the city and returned to their respective camps. However, in just two days, the chaos in the city caused more than 80% of the wealthy families to be robbed, more than 40 people died, and hundreds of women were tortured.
They were humiliated and countless gold and silver properties were robbed.
Zhu Si completely betrayed everyone and everyone in Luoyang hated him.
........
Xiang Fei's carriage was speeding towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, escorted by dozens of cavalry guards.
He finally thought of the looming figure in his mind. He had once seen Wang Qing, the leader of the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the bandit leader who left a deep impression on him.
At that time, Wang Qing gave him the impression that he was like a black panther, full of explosive power. If one person could kill a dozen people in a moment, he felt that Wang Qing could do it.
These people are ruthless bandits, and it is normal for them to take advantage of others. The soldiers of the Qianniu Guard will not rob the Tiger Guards, nor will the palace guards, but this group of ruthless bandits can do it.
Although Xiang Fei has begun to doubt Wang Qing and his men, he will not go to Wang Qing directly. Beating a dog depends on the owner. If he doubts Wang Qing again, he must obtain Liu Feng's consent.
The carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion stood eight Prime Minister's Internal Guard soldiers holding spears in their hands, standing upright like eight sculptures. They had never existed before and seemed to have just appeared today.
Of course, Xiang Fei can understand why they are standing here. The city is too chaotic, and Liu Feng is not at ease.
Just as he was about to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, eight spears were set up at the same time with a 'click!', blocking his way.
Xiang Fei was really annoyed and held back his anger and said: "Go and tell your Prime Minister that it is his brother-in-law who is looking for him."
At this time, the housekeeper walked out of the door, saw Xiang Fei, and said quickly: "He is one of his own, there is no need to stop him!"
The soldier put away his spear, and the steward stepped forward and said with a smile: "This morning, a group of soldiers came to make trouble. The Prime Minister was a little worried, so he asked the internal guards to guard the door and not allow any soldiers to enter the house."
"I see!"
Xiang Fei took a deep look at the eight guards and walked quickly into the house. He was a soldier, and he could feel the murderous intent contained in these eight soldiers. Generally, bandits were just a mob, how could they have such deep murderous intent?
A suspicion finally arose in my heart.
In the lobby, Yang Mi was explaining to Liu Feng the murder of Li Zhen's family.
"I went to investigate in my humble position. Li Zhen's family was preparing to escape and packed a large amount of gold and silver jewelry. When a group of Qianniu Guard soldiers went in to rob them, Li Zhen's wife tried her best to stop her, but was killed by the soldiers. Her two sons also died in the chaos.
Li Zhen was filled with grief and anger and said he wanted to complain to the general, but he was killed and silenced by the soldiers. His two brothers, Li Zhao and Li Tie, were also killed."
Liu Feng said for a long time: "Since they are dead, this matter ends here. Don't pursue it anymore. Let's bury them!"
"His servants have buried the family in the back garden. Except for the housekeeper who reported the crime, all the other servants have dispersed. Do you want to humiliate yourself and write in the report that they died of poisoning? This way, it won't involve the general."
Liu Feng nodded. He was also afraid that Guo Song would investigate him in the future and his family would be implicated in this matter.
"Let's take care of this humble duty!" Liu Feng bowed and left.
He will write an investigation report full of hints, and then file it after Liu Feng signs and approves it. The files of Li Guo's family will be placed in the prime minister's palace. These are important evidences that will be left to the court in the end.
In the future, when court officials use these files to investigate, they will naturally come to the conclusion that Li Zhen's family was poisoned by Zhu Si.
If they didn't believe it and went to Luoyang to investigate the truth, even if they finally found out the truth, they would still be killed by Zhu Si's grain-robbing soldiers. In any case, Zhu Si would be blamed.
In fact, Liu Feng didn't take Li Zhen's death to heart. He was still thinking about what happened at noon today. The soldiers of the Qianniu Guards actually killed the soldiers of the Huben Guards in the street. This matter might have caused a big fuss.
At this time, the housekeeper said in the hall: "Master, the general is here."
Liu Feng was startled and saw Xiang Fei walking over quickly.
He hurriedly came forward and said, "I'm just about to go find my brother-in-law. What happened at noon?"
Xiang Fei walked into the lobby and sat down, snorted and said: "Qianniu Guards are not that capable. One against five, no one is hurt, and they can still escape intact!"
Liu Feng was a little confused, "I don't understand. What does this mean? Could it be that Qian Niuwei didn't do it?"
"Of course not! I have checked the military camp and there is no sign that it was the Thousand Oxen Guards soldiers."
"Who could have done that?"
"This is what I have to ask Xiangguo!"
"ask me?"
Liu Feng was stunned, "What...what does this matter have to do with me?"
Xiang Fei narrowed his eyes and said, "You may not know, but I suspect that your subordinate Wang Qing did it!"
"fart!"
Liu Feng jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, and said angrily: "You are just talking nonsense. What evidence do you have that my people did it?"
"Although I have no evidence, as long as Wang Qing comes with me, I will take him to Huben Guards and let the survivors identify him. If it is not him, I will apologize to you!"
Liu Feng had calmed down, and he said secretly: "Have you colluded with Xiao Wanding? What agreement have you reached to deal with me together?"
"What do you say? I just want to find out the truth. I don't think this matter is that simple. Let me just say it! You think your men are not like bandits, but like the most elite soldiers. How can bandits be so high?
spirit?"
Liu Feng dismissed it and said, "What do you think? If you gave your men ten thousand dollars a month, they would still be full of energy. Let me tell you! These gangsters are veterans from the Qi State. They are all
Having experienced hundreds of battles, who do you think they are?"
Xiang Fei was speechless for a moment. He was silent for a moment and said, "What if they are undercover agents sent by Guo Song?"
Liu Feng blushed with anger and said, "Guo Song doesn't need to send people undercover. He can seize Luoyang City easily. Do you think the hundreds of wooden stakes in Luoshui can stop Guo Song's navy? I sent my confidants to Songshan."
The one they found has nothing to do with Guo Song. I only have this army that is more reliable. I rely on them to save my life. If you dare to touch them, don't blame me, Liu Feng, for not caring about family ties. I know where your two sons are hiding!
"
"you----"
Xiang Fei was so angry that he couldn't say a word. His wife was Liu Feng's eldest sister, and she and her two sons had been hidden for a long time. Others didn't know, but Liu Feng knew where their mother and son were hiding. This was Xiang Fei's.
The biggest weakness was firmly grasped by Liu Feng.
Xiang Fei had no choice but to nod, "Okay! I just don't care about them. If you die in their hands in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
At this moment, the housekeeper ran over in a panic and said: "Master, someone from the palace has come, saying... that the emperor is dying, please come into the palace immediately!"
