The devil is coming

Chapter 635: Do things and be a good person
Yingdu,
Yinzhuxuan,
An estate under the royal palace,
A quiet restaurant hidden away from the world.
Ping Xihou had no property in Yingdu and lived in an inn, which seemed a bit humble, so he chose this place as his place of residence.
Clearing the place is a must. During this period, there can only be one guest here, Ping Xihou.
in fact,
If we really want to calculate it based on the relationship between people,
This time, it's really a bit unreasonable.
You have been invited to come,
You are invited to stay,
As a result, you slapped the person on the left cheek and then slapped him on the right cheek again.
but,
Politics is politics, and human relations are human relations. Anyway, after Mr. Zheng moved in, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
Think about it from another angle,
Isn’t it true that the properties under the Prince’s palace are all about the people’s blessings? When he came to Yingdu, he stabilized the situation in Yingdu so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. It was natural for them to contribute some tax revenue to entertain themselves, right?
but,
The most famous silk and bamboo singing and dancing in the Yinzhu Pavilion are not available now.
First of all, Marquis Pingxi didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. Secondly, this place is not a Marquis' mansion and it has just experienced an assassination incident. How could outsiders come in and out on a large scale?
Therefore,
In the greenhouse,
It's still quiet and peaceful as before,
Only two sparks flew out from the charcoal basin from time to time.
Marquis Zheng was still lying on it with Ge You, taking a nap.
down,
Gou Moli sat behind the small table with a large pile of files in front of him.
Daxia Chen gathered around the brazier and placed potatoes. He enjoyed this bite.
The sword master leaned in the corner early, covered with a blanket, breathing evenly, obviously asleep.
for a while,
He Chunlai walked in,
He asked in a low voice:
"Master Hou, do you want a midnight snack?"
Zheng Fan closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
He Chunlai looked at Gou Moli again. Gou Moli smiled and pointed at the potatoes being roasted by Chen Daxia.
If Lord Zheng is willing to eat fine food and fine food as long as conditions permit, then the Savage King really has no requirements at all when it comes to food and drink.
He Chunlai understood and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the Savage King again with a wave of his hand.
"Take a look, Mr. Bei said, you are learning from him."
With that said, Gou Moli pushed the file to He Chunlai's side.
He Chunlai is indeed learning how to do things from the blind man while cooking. In the past, he felt that he was actually quite good at doing things. After all, he once served as a middle-level leader in a righteous organization.
But after studying with the blind man, I discovered that I was not even a member of the grass-roots team before, and I finally saw what it means to have someone outside the world.
In fact, He Chunlai also read the file on the road.
"Make a list, draw a line, and see if there are any differences among the people who were poisoned, such as the masters behind each family, their backers, etc."
He Chunlai immediately understood and asked: "Do you think the assassin's target was not the fifth prince, but the real people who were poisoned with poisonous wine?"
Gou Moli shook his head and said, "You are Mr. Bei's student."
He Chunlai was a little excited when he heard this.
"So, I can teach you that most things in this world are not like a table, with an upper part and a lower part, but often like two chopsticks, held together."
He Chunlai nodded and said, "Teach me."
"So, in my opinion, there is no conflict between the stabbing of the fifth prince and the poisoning. Moreover, there is a rift in this aspect, because the fifth prince made sacrifices to the victims, burned incense, bathed, ate fasts, and had few sexual desires. On public occasions, It is impossible to drink alcohol, so the poisonous wine is not prepared for the fifth prince;
But the subsequent assassination was for him.
Two things that happen together should serve two purposes, and these two purposes will ultimately benefit one person. "
"Suddenly I felt that my mind was clear." He Chunlai said.
Gou Moli pointed at the file and said: "You search first, and then divide them carefully. With so many people dead, some of them must have died in vain. After these people are sorted out, then from among those who must die, Look for clues.”
At this time,
Mr. Zheng, who was lying on the couch, closed his eyes and said:
"Sometimes, the reason why many people die is to hide the real target they want to kill."
Gou Moli responded immediately: "Master Hou is wise and hits the nail on the head."
immediately,
Gou Moli said to He Chunlai: "Go and do something quickly."
"it is good."
He Chunlai held the file, walked to the other corner, sat down, and began to analyze it by the candlelight next to him.
He had been active in Yingdu. As a hidden underground existence, he could actually see the intricate relationships on the surface more clearly.
After explaining the matter, Gou Moli walked to Chen Daxia's side, stretched out his hand, and took a baked potato.
It was very hot, so he could only keep rubbing his left hand and his right hand. In the process, he began to slowly circle around the brazier.
Chen Daxia, who was squatting next to the brazier, said angrily:
"You know it's hot to your hands, but you don't wait until it cools down before taking it."
Gou Moli suddenly stopped.
Looking at Daxia Chen,
Master Chen blinked.
"correct."
Gou Moli exclaimed,
Immediately walked quickly to the couch,
Road:
"Master Marquis, my subordinate has figured out something."
Mr. Zheng, who still had his eyes closed, raised his hand,
Road:
"Say."
"Did the person behind the assassin anticipate the next reaction?"
"for example."
"For example, the powerful people in Yingdu will invite you to come to Yingdu to take charge of the overall situation and control the situation."
"Another example."
"For another example, the person behind the assassin can even guess what you will do after you arrive."
Speaking of which,
Gou Moli suddenly knelt down.
Place the roasted potatoes sideways,
Kowtowed respectfully,
Road:
"No, to be precise, the person behind this should have already guessed what my subordinate would suggest to you, Lord Marquis.
But Lord Marquis, you have sharp eyes and have seen through everything long ago, so you deliberately did not act according to the advice of your subordinates, just to go against the intention of the descendant.
The Marquis has great foresight,
Subordinates,
admire! "
Lord Zheng opened his eyes,
turn your head,
Looking at Gou Moli who was kneeling under the couch,
Open your mouth:
"What?"
“Yes, Lord Marquis, killing the fifth prince is an introduction;
Because no matter how many dignitaries die in Yingdu, you will not be alarmed. You are a military lord, and you are not allowed to leave the fief unless it is important. But after all, the fifth prince is a bloodline of the Ji family. Once his safety is in question, it will inevitably lead to All parties were shocked.
When King Jingnan entered Litian City and no one knew that he could not be invited out, you were the only one who would come to this former capital to show off.
The Fifth Prince was assassinated, in fact, just to get you here, in anticipation of your next move.
That move
This is the advice given to you by your subordinates.
In order to become a prince, loosen the ties. "
Lord Zheng was a little dumbfounded.
Road:
"pull……"
"Tear away the fog and self-righteousness, and things will indeed become clear." Gou Moli pointed at his face, "It was my subordinate's fault. I took everything for granted. I just thought I could take this opportunity to do something." This incident will lay the foundation for the Hou Mansion to move westward in the future.
But my subordinates didn't realize this at first. This introduction was actually left intentionally by that person, and we followed the introduction. In fact, everything had already been planned by that person.
That person's purpose was to loosen the bonds of Prince Cheng's Mansion.
At present,
Only three people can do this,
One person represents the court;
One is King Jingnan,
another,
The one closest to his Yingdu is our Pingxihou Mansion.
after all,
The official face is to be preserved, played, and shown to the world, so it is impossible to treat the Situ family badly;
But behind the scenes, they will be dismembered as much as they want, suppressed as they want, and the Situ family will never be allowed to regain its former glory.
This is the general trend, this is inevitable, and only these three are truly qualified to go against the trend.
But the only one who really knows how to take action and can take action is our Marquis Mansion.
Therefore,
The poisoning at the banquet may be a new rotation. Those big shopkeepers, those big families, those powerful people, once the leader dies, the people below will inevitably fight for power, decentralize power, and new people will take over.
The mastermind behind the scenes wants to make room for his own people to take over, or to divide the industry.
this means,
It's too violent and direct. If it were used in normal times, it would definitely not be used like this, because it would cause a huge backlash.
Looking at the other party, from the layout to the end, they are very neat and meticulous, so the subordinates feel that the reason why they used poisoning to forcibly centralize power is because they still have something to rely on.
This relies on,
It is very likely that it originated from our Marquis Mansion. After the Marquis arrives, according to his imagination, the Prince's Mansion will be loosened.
At that time, the palace can openly absorb the spare power vacuum and various industries. "
"Everyone knows that I want to..."
"What the Marquis is saying is that the world is so chaotic, how can it be possible to see so clearly? In their eyes, Marquis, you are the new generation military god of the Yan Dynasty and the pillar of the Yan Dynasty;
But some things cannot be hidden from the general public, but they are destined to be hidden from some people.
They can know from a lot of information what we are doing in Shengle City, what we are doing in Xueguan, and what we are doing in Fengxin City.
Anmin, Lixin, Hongshang, Biaohu, etc., including the simple slips in your residence, Lord Marquis,
In fact, they are all proving to those who are interested,
You have a big heart. "
Throughout the ages, some smart people, such as generals, would deliberately be extravagant and deliberately ask the emperor for land and a house before going on an expedition. Did he really lack those things?
There is really no shortage;
But it is just to defile oneself and to appease the heart of those in power.
You don't seek enjoyment, but you work conscientiously. You capture the hearts of the people and the military. What do you want to do?
"Master Hou, it is indeed because King Jingnan is in front, so he has protected us from too many ups and downs. The fact is that the assassin-faced husband of the Qian Kingdom back then was because he had a cool sleeve and was a warrior but had a good official reputation. , that’s why……
So,
In fact, we are not very good at hiding it.
The foundation of our Hou Mansion’s establishment,
One is that before King Jingnan, King Jingnan is in front, King Jingnan will not fall, King Jingnan will not...
We can always stand firm.
The second is His Majesty the Emperor of the Yan State. He is talented and strategic. He can let the two princes become powerful, control the two most capable field armies of Yan, and can issue edicts not to let the rear hinder the front.
He might really not care about His Majesty the Emperor Yan's situation;
Even in the eyes of His Majesty Emperor Yan, a person without ambition may mean that he has no ability, and he didn't even bother to use it.
three,
It's because our rhythm has always been very good, just like Chu Ge, every step is based on the beat. When we were at Xuehaiguan, we were not so conspicuous. Master, although you are a count, you are still fledgling.
This time, Feng Xincheng was granted the title of Marquis, which actually happened to be at that point. With the support of the King of Jingnan and his military achievements, the country of Yan was empty inside. A strong man must be placed in the east of Shanxi to stabilize the situation.
This is how you, the Marquis, came to the throne. It was a combination of all kinds of coincidences that enabled you, the Marquis, to open a palace and build teeth!
but,
People who don’t care don’t care,
It doesn't mean that no one can really see the clues in what we do.
Therefore,
He used this clue to let us enter Yingdu out of our own instincts and loosen the bonds of the Prince's Palace. "
Zheng Fan felt that it made sense, but felt that it was too smooth.
Only to say:
"It doesn't necessarily mean..."
How about this.
"What the Marquis said is that the real mastermind behind the scenes may not be Prince Cheng's Palace itself, but Prince Cheng's Palace is probably involved."
"I mean, it's not necessarily..."
"What the Marquis said is not necessarily Situ Yu. Although he has grown a little, it is obviously not his turn to support the situation. The Situ family has been established for hundreds of years and has also established a country. The Great Yan army originally wanted to During the war, the Situ family was appeased, but no drastic reforms were made to Yingdu. Therefore, there must be many left behind, the old and the young.
Many of the rebels in Jin like He Chunlai planned to invade Yingdu in the future and use the Prince's Mansion as a sign to call on the people of Jin to follow.
Therefore,
My subordinates have been thinking about one thing.
Last time we were in Yingdu, Sun Youdao's eldest son was causing trouble, but in fact Sun Youdao had retired a long time ago. The old man's subordinates confirmed that he was really tired and didn't want to bother anymore. He just wanted to pass on the family. .
So,
The subordinates are very curious.
Those outside are all dreaming, dreaming of one day pulling out Prince Cheng and using him.
What about the people who are inside?
They really
Have you no idea at all?
Do not,
impossible,
They were once the real leaders of Dacheng Kingdom, and they enjoyed the addiction brought by power;
How could they be willing to watch the officials from Yandi step on their heads and show off their power year after year?
The reason why they have been well-behaved is because they are cautious and they have been waiting for an opportunity.
They know that taking action themselves will be more effective, more useful, and more direct.
Therefore,
They can't afford to lose.
But that doesn't mean they're all docile lambs.
The subordinate was previously a fan of the authorities, and he was overconfident. Fortunately, Daxia Chen had just given some advice to his subordinate. "
Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
When the conversation reaches this point,
Daxia Chen, who roasted potatoes, was stunned.
He couldn't even believe it,
Are all these statements inspired by your own words?
Myself,
so smart?
Next to him, He Chunlai also opened his mouth slightly. Based on this idea, he had already selected several names in the book. The families behind these names all made a desperate effort to fight against the savages and rebels before Situ Lei's death. At that time, Situ Lei's strong support could be said to be fundamentally loyal.
Even the sword master, who had fallen asleep long ago,
Open your eyes now,
He looked at Gou Moli,
He didn't think about it, whether Zheng Fan already had "the pearl of wisdom" in his hand, but he was sure of one thing, that is Gou Moli put the things together himself.
The wisdom of the Savage King.
Therefore,
Should we just find an opportunity to kill him?
Zheng Fan smiled,
Road:
"No evidence………"
Gou Moli immediately said loudly:
"The Marquis is wise. What the Marquis said is that I am acting in the Xihou Mansion. There is no need for evidence!!!"
"..." Zheng Fan.
At last,
Zheng Fan sighed,
Didn't say anything,
Just wave your hand,
Road:
"Go on, I'm tired."
Mr. Zheng wants to be alone and quiet.
"Yes, Lord Marquis, don't worry, my subordinates will go down to make arrangements right away."
Gou Moli retreated, and so did He Chunlai.
Daxia Chen was sitting there, continuing to peel potatoes. The sword master was still leaning in the corner and dozing off again. They would not retreat, otherwise, Lord Zheng would not be able to sleep.
.........
After leaving the door,
He Chunlai followed closely behind Gou Moli.
Before setting off, the blind man reminded him to learn from Gou Moli.
An ordinary savage in the snowfield who was not born into a noble family spent half his life traveling around, studying, and thinking, and finally almost achieved great success. This kind of person can no longer be described as a mere "outstanding person".
"According to what you just said, I have already drawn some." He Chunlai said.
Gou Moli nodded.
He Chunlai was about to speak but stopped.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate. The Marquis doesn't like people who are unhappy."
"I feel that what you just said seems to have gone too far..."
"After what?" Gou Moli turned to look at He Chunlai.
"Since the Marquis has understood in advance and has avoided the other party's intentions, your deduction just now seems to be too showy.
Oh, I understand, you were not actually talking to Mr. Hou just now, but you were explaining to us, right? "
Gou Moli shook his head.
"no?"
"Of course not. To be honest with you, I don't know how the Marquis changed his mind in advance and fell into the opponent's trap, but I feel that the Marquis didn't know the whole story.
Just now, it was not the Marquis who opened his mouth to give me some advice, but I deliberately took advantage of it and acted as if the Marquis understood everything and was giving me pointers. "
"This………"
"You will also be able to take care of things in the future, and your subordinates will also take care of people. Remember, when your subordinates start to use your name to say that they have understood what you mean, and after receiving your instructions, they will start to analyze it. , when you are clear-headed;
It's not that you are far-sighted, it's not that kind of: Oh, that's what I thought, and you actually said it.
In fact, it's your subordinate who is just taking care of your face and flattering you with a higher level of flattery. Anyone who is not stupid will understand how there can be such a coincidence in the world, and how there can be such a capable person. A subordinate who understands your thoughts? "
"Here, you are fooling Hou..."
"You think you are the Marquis? The Marquis knows very well."
"So, what are you doing this for?"
Gou Moli waved,
He Chunlai squatted a little,
Gou Moli learned from Lord Zheng’s favorite method,
Patted He Chunlai on the shoulder,
Eloquently said:
"If you want to do something, you must first be a human being."
