Governor please stay

Because of Gao Cheng's sudden and unexpected death, Gao Huan's autumn hunting with great expectations came to an abrupt end.In addition to going back to each house, the next thing is to have a one-stop funeral and dinner.

In the mourning hall, there are real crying and fake crying, and you can see everything in the world at a glance.After the burial, the coffin was closed, and Gao Cheng's controversial life came to an end in an extremely humiliating way.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

Gao Cheng kicked his legs and didn't have to worry about anything, but the mess he left behind required someone to clean it up.

Although the funeral is over, the political storm in Wei has just begun!
In Bafu's study, Gao Huan, whose hair was almost completely white overnight, looked more than ten years older.In front of the oil lamp, he sat withered like a puppet, motionless.

A large pile of documents under the paperweight seemed to have not been turned over for a long time.

At this moment, the scene of the fire at Yongning Temple in Luoyang appeared in Gao Huan's mind. One after another beautiful women fell in a pool of blood, and then were swallowed by the fire and burned to ashes.

They also begged themselves to let them go, but at that time, they killed all those women without mercy, just because they were worried that they would not be able to clean up the situation after the Dong Chuang incident happened.

If the time comes again, will he do it again?
Probably still will.

Thinking of this, Gao Huan felt melancholy in his heart.

"Back then, Liu Yi guarded the benevolence of a woman. Could it be that he was worried about retribution in the future? But if there is retribution, it should be on me. Why should it be on Ah Cheng?"

Gao Huan sighed deeply, hating that Lan Jing was not returned to Liu Yishou after receiving the money.He didn't accept the goodwill from his mortal enemy, so he was whipped by reality.

"What a pity, Ah Cheng, what a pain, Ah Cheng!"

Gao Huan beat his head and stamped his feet, regretting it was too late.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study, Gao Huan tidied up his clothes, and calmly replied, "Come in."

"Is the matter clear?"

Seeing that it was Duan Shao who came in, Gao Huan asked with a tense expression.

"Go back to Gao Wang, basically check it out."

Duan Shao nodded slightly and said.

We have basically found out, that is to say, there are still some things that have not been fully investigated.

"Well, let's start from the beginning."

Gao Huan suppressed the grief in his heart and said.

"The woman Li Xizong brought this time is not his daughter Li Zuyi, but a woman from another branch of the Li family, named Li Changyi, who is about the same age as Li Zuyi."

Gao Huan knew the news before, but he didn't point out that he slapped Li Xizong in the face.

He frowned with displeasure and asked, "Did you just find out about this?"

"Earlier, the prince discussed with Xue Fengluo and others in the mansion that during the autumn hunt... he planned to sneak into Li Zuyi's army tent, and bribed the generals and schools participating in the patrol camp in the army to provide them with convenience."

Duan Shao forcibly held back the word "rape", after all, the dead are the most important.

Even if Gao Cheng wanted to rape other women, Gao Huan didn't think it was a big problem, since he made it very clear when he dealt with Gao Cheng's adultery with Zheng Dache.

"go on."

Gao Huan nodded expressionlessly, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart.He actually knew about those things, but he just pretended not to know with a "happy to see it happen" attitude, but he didn't expect that something really happened.

"Your Majesty did not keep secrets, and he was negligent in guarding against Lan Jing, letting the other party know all the plans. His subordinates guessed that Lan Jing was using his tricks, and turned back to the camp on the first night in the woods and hid. However, he hid there. Hard to say."

Duan Shao bit the bullet and said.

"Then what are you looking for!"

Gao Huan roared and threw the paperweight at hand, and it hit the ground with a loud noise.He didn't throw it at Duan Shao, and Duan Shao also remained motionless and didn't dodge.

The biggest flaw in the whole thing was where Lan Jing was on the first night!He must be hiding in the camp, but the only question is which military tent and who is covering for Lan Jing!
In other words, among all the people who participated in the autumn hunt, there must be one who wanted Gao Cheng to die, or wanted to cover Lan Jing from running away!
Gao Huan asked Duan Shao to investigate, isn't it just to investigate this matter?

As for why Duan Shao refused to investigate, or refused to say, it was the main reason why Gao Huan was unwilling to let others investigate.

The second son, Gao Yang, is the most suspected!The so-called inseparable relationship, which outsider would go to investigate such a thing?
All the evidence points to Gao Yang. It is very likely that Lan Jing was hiding with Gao Yang on the first night!Even if the assassination of Gao Cheng was not planned by Gao Yang, he is probably the indirect criminal who shielded Lan Jing!

Lan Jing used to be Gao Yang's servant, but was later transferred to Gao Cheng's side. Before that, Lan Jing might have been bought by Gao Yang?
With the resources in Gao Yang's hands, it was easy to figure out Gao Cheng's movements and arrangements.Otherwise, how could Lan Jing, a servant, grasp the timing so accurately?
Why did Gao Yang arrive with a large team just after Lan Jing ran out? He is not omniscient.Apart from the fact that he planned this incident, is there a second theory?

What's even more weird is that Lan Jing, who was humiliated by Gao Cheng thousands of times and never committed suicide, committed suicide when she saw Gao Yang when she ran away after killing Gao Cheng?Can you believe that this is something that a person who is determined to escape can do?

Not to mention Lan Jing cupped his fists and saluted Gao Yang before committing suicide!

Gao Huan doesn't have the energy to argue with Li Xizong now, he just wants to know if the second child killed the eldest!

"King Gao, Li Xizong is suspected of coming here without his daughter."

Duan Shao added a sentence, but Gao Huan waved his hand to signal him not to continue to say similar things.

Li Xizong was only worried that bringing Li Zuyi here would cause her to be raped by Gao Cheng.What happened later proved that Li Xizong's worries were not groundless.

How could Gao Huan have the nerve to say such a shameful thing in the open?
"Why did A Yang appear there? Have you found out?"

Gao Huan asked in a deep voice.

"The Second Young Master's attendant, Zhao Yanshen, said that the Second Young Master went to catch an adulterer."

Duan Shao said with some embarrassment, he secretly hated Gao Cheng even after he died.

"It's interesting, but this king underestimated him."

Gao Huan sighed and said that he believed it seventy percent in his heart.

It was really weird that Gao Yang would appear there, but Gao Huan felt that he had little to do with Lan Jing, if he hadn't planned this matter.

Gao Huan had previously thought that it was very likely that Gao Yang deliberately wanted to embarrass Gao Cheng in order to compete for the position of son!
At this juncture, Qiushou went to rape the daughter of the aristocratic family... How do you think there is no virtue, how can you command the world in the future?

I have to say that Gao Yang's entry point is very vicious, and it should be very effective.Although it may not make Gao Cheng lose his position as the son, it is very possible to make that one sad for a while.

"In your opinion, are Zhao Yanshen's words credible?"

Gao Huan looked at Duan Shao with burning eyes and asked.

"Back to King Gao, in fact, the second son's explanation is not credible, the key depends on which tent Lan Jing spent the night in during the first night of Qiushou!
If he spent the night in the Second Young Master's military tent, then he is the mastermind of the whole incident.If not, then as Zhao Yanshen said, the Second Young Master is just trying to embarrass the Shizi, and there is no need to do those useless things. "

Cold sweat broke out on Duan Shao's forehead, and he spoke out his inner thoughts under Gao Huan's pressure.

"It makes sense, but this autumn hunting, almost everyone is with their families. There are many people in the army tent, so how can there be no news?"

Gao Huan asked with some doubts.

In fact, he had already checked secretly. With so many servants around Gao Yang, it was impossible for all the servants to unanimously deny that they had seen Lan Jing.

In other words, Gao Yang should have no suspicion of assassinating Gao Cheng.

As for the suspicion that he did not harbor Lan Jing, it cannot be completely ruled out, so there is no evidence to prove that he did not plan the assassination.

"Going back to Gao Wang, you can gather all the servants of the Overlord's Mansion to report each other, and there may be gains."

Duan Shao said with a guilty conscience.

"Go on, you don't need to investigate this matter, I'll let Liu Taozhi handle it."

Gao Huan waved his hand to let Duan Shao back down.

"Here."

After Duan Shao retreated respectfully, he closed the study door smoothly.

After he left, Gao Huan suddenly had a question in his heart.

Those who participated in the autumn hunting, especially those from Hebei aristocratic families, basically brought their families with them;
But many of the cronies who organized the autumn hunt were not.

These people are all separate camps, and as long as the guards are not called in, it is basically impossible for anyone to enter, and it is even more impossible to search for someone inside.

For example, Sun Teng.

For example, Lou Zhao.

For example... Duan Shao himself!
Could it be that the inner ghost is among these people?

Gao Huan felt a chill rushing from his spine to Tianling Gai.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Duan Shaozhi's cronies and generals were very suspicious, because the group of advisers had to meet with him almost every day, so it was easy to see their flaws.

On the contrary, those trusted generals were all deployed around the forest at that time, and the possibility of encountering or even catching Lan Jing was too great.

There should be nothing wrong with Duan Shao, but who can guarantee that he didn't have two minds, or that his head was dizzy at that time, and he was benevolent?

Gao Huan raised his chin and fell into deep thought.

He remembered that Duan Shao's father, Duan Rong, had worked with Liu Yishou, and they got along very well.

Will Duan Shao let Lan Jing go and try to sell Liu Yishou because of his father Duan Rong's relationship?After all, everyone knows about Liu Yishou's ransom.

However, Duan Shao originally hoped that the other party would run away, but unexpectedly, Lan Jing killed Gao Cheng instead.In that case, if Duan Shao were to investigate the case, it would be impossible to find the truth!
Thinking of this, Gao Huan already made a decision.

……

After arriving in Jiangzhou, Liu Yishou asked Wei An to build a water village in Daleishu in Jiangbei, and the navy stationed in Leichi.

The position of Dalei Guard is very important, guarding the entrance of Leichi, and Leichi is a large lake in Jiangbei, its strategic position is extremely important.There are thick and colorful descriptions in history books.

In the second year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (327 A.D.), Su Jun, the general of Liyang Town, joined forces with Zu Yue, the general of Shouchun (Shouyang) Town, to rebel and attack Jiankang.Wen Qiao, the governor of Jiangzhou who was loyal to the imperial court, wanted to quickly lead his troops to defend Jiankang.

After Geng Liang, who was in charge of the central court in Jiankang, learned about it, he was worried that Tao Kan, the governor of Jingzhou who was holding a heavy army at the time, would take advantage of it. It's just one step over the Thunder Pond."

This is the origin of the idiom "Don't cross the thunder pool one step".

To the north of Daleishu is a large Leichi, and on the other side is the city of Pan.When Liu Yishou arrived with Hu Sengyou, Yang Xiuzhi, Hu Luxian and others, Xiao Xu's two sons, Xiao Ping and Xiao Ying, led a group of royal officials out of the city to welcome them.

"Uncle is finally here!"

Xiao Ping stepped forward excitedly and held Liu Yishou's hands and said, but he saw Liu Yishou's expressionless face, as if the visitor was not kind.

He quickly withdrew his hand.

"Come here, take down Xiao Ping, the vassal king who colluded with Xiao Lun, and interrogate Xiao Lun together after defeating Xiao Lun!"

Liu Yishou pointed at Xiao Ping and said loudly, the guards who had been prepared for a long time rushed forward to capture Xiao Ping and tied him up, all the people outside the city were stunned.

"Xiao Ping colluded with Xiao Lun, undermined the court's law of favor, and plotted to rebel. The emperor has ordered me to arrest him and return him to Jiankang for questioning. If there are any accomplices, they will be arrested together. If there is any grievance, in front of the emperor Speaking to his face, the king was ordered to act and did not want to ask about those things.

You, who are partisans, stand up! "

Liu Yishou looked around at the crowd and asked.

Xiao Ping's subordinates who have long histories and joined the army unconsciously stood behind Xiao Ying, who was under ten years old this year, and his intention to separate himself from Xiao Ping couldn't be more clear.

It's just that the child Xiao Ying is not very sensible yet, and he is already frightened and stupid at this moment.

Liu Yishou stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle will uphold justice for you. You are determined to be the king of Poyang. When this king defeats Xiao Lun, I will send you to Poyang County to become a vassal. You can rest assured." , Let's cultivate well at Lei Chi first.

It's not too safe in Pan city now, it would be bad if it gets hurt. "

After finishing speaking, he winked at Yang Xiuzhi, who understood, stepped forward and led Xiao Ying away.

"The military situation is urgent. This king is now taking over Pancheng. Do you have any objections? This king has always been admonishing. If you have any opinions, just say it. Afterwards, this king will never retaliate."

Liu Yishou looked at the group of people outside the city, and said with a half-hearted smile.

"I will wait to welcome King Wu into the city."

Everyone knelt down and saluted together.

Well, at first glance, this King Wu is a ruthless character, so let's follow.

The ideas of all the officials in the city of Huangcheng were surprisingly consistent.

"Take over the city defense, check if there are Xiao Lun's spies and Xiao Ping's remnants in the city! Don't wrong a good person, but don't let a bad person go!"

Liu Yishou turned his head and said to Hu Sengyou who was already eager to try.

"Order!"

Hu Sengyou led the army into the city of Pen, and Liu Yishou helped everyone who was kneeling on the ground up one by one.

"Sure enough, everyone is united. This king believes that the suppression of Xiao Lun's rebellion is just around the corner! Come, everyone will follow this king into the city!" Liu Yishou laughed loudly.

Controlling people's hearts outside the city gate is of course a trivial matter to Liu Yishou, but the situation in Jiangzhou is not as happy as the performance outside the city gate.

In fact, because of Xiao Lun's rebellion, the south of Yuzhang County was greatly disturbed.All the great chiefs and chiefs in Bashan County in the south couldn't hold back their eagerness to move.

Their plan was to occupy Yuzhang County after Xiao Lun was taught a lesson by the court, and then wait for the court's reward.In fact, when Xiao Yan placed the vassal king in Yuzhang County, it was also to deter these powerful chieftains.

In the signing room in Pancheng, a literati with a mustache introduced the situation to Liu Yishou and said: "Xiao Lun, who conquered Poyang County, did not continue to plunder land everywhere.

But the south of Yuzhang County began to be chaotic.

Huang Fajiu, the chieftain of Bashan County, Zhou Di, the chieftain of Linchuan County, Yu Xiaoqing, the chieftain of the west of Yuzhang County, and others are all looking to recruit troops.In the name of guarding the village, checkpoints are set up everywhere, and the plot is unknown! "

These places are the mountainous areas to the west and south of Yuzhang County, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.The opponent ran into the mountains and forests if he couldn't beat him, which was very difficult to deal with.

Hearing these introductions, Liu Yishou immediately understood, what kind of "unclear plot" is this? Isn't this riding a horse a typical "Qin loses its deer, and the world chases it together".

Xiao Lun sent troops to Poyang County without hesitation, compared with the strength of the imperial army, it was almost like striking a stone with an egg.

Since everyone thinks that Xiao Lun will definitely die in this wave, then let's touch his hometown of Yuzhang County.When the occupation of Yuzhang County becomes an "established fact", in order to calm the storm, the imperial court will inevitably make compromises with these chiefs.

This is called "beating children on rainy days". Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle.

Even if they can't defeat the imperial court's anti-insurgency army (this possibility is very high), they can just retreat to the mountains, and there is no actual loss.It is profitable to bite down one more piece of new territory.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yishou understood why the gang of powerful chieftains couldn't hold back.

In fact, the risk of sending troops is extremely small, and the benefits are huge, which is really mouth-watering!

Therefore, dealing with Xiao Lun this time is just an appetizer, and the most important thing is to deal with those people in the south of Yuzhang County!

"You all perform your duties first, how to suppress the rebellion, this king has his own ideas."

Liu Yishou said slowly.
