Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 624 If this son is Henkel, how will the lord handle himself?
"Isn't it Cao Aman?"

Yuan Shao was stunned, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "Which thief can be so bold?"

"My lord." Facing Yuan Shao who was sitting high on the court steps, Pang Ji said solemnly, "It is Qingzhou Wangzheng!"

"Wang Zheng?"

Hearing this name, the huge palace suddenly lost all human voices, and it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

This is also very reasonable. Today's Wangzheng is not only one of the strongest princes in the world, but also one of the most powerful princes in the world. The most important thing is that his record in recent years is too brilliant. Not only did he defeat Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu successively. Several powerful enemies, including the invincible Jizhou Army, were forced to retreat under Fenggao City.

Even though Yuan Tan's troops were not all Jizhou strong crossbows at that time, most of the Xuzhou army's elite troops were in Beihai at that time. With Yuan Shao's pride and conceit, he also found it unpredictable.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "You said that the assassin was not Cao Cao, I was half-believed, why did it involve Wang Zheng? Pang Ji, I will ask you, do you think this son is a fool and a mediocre man?" Human?"

"Of course not."

Pang Ji Zhengse said: "Wang Yukou made a great achievement with a sword held out by a man. In three years, he crossed Qingxu, stood up to Jiangdong, drove Liu Bei to Xiapi, punished Sun Ce in Xiang'an, captured Kong Rong in Beihai, and defeated Yuan Shu in Runan. , as Rong Qi pointed out, it can be said that there is no limit to success, and to achieve such a feat, how can he be a fool or a mediocre person?"

"From what I have seen, he is open-minded and far-sighted. He looks like Hangao. He conquers a hero. He is not inferior to a match of light and force. This hero is also!"

Forehead.
Yuan Shao's questioning was intended to laugh out of anger, and to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that what he got in exchange was his own courtiers' flattering of his competitors, which made him feel a little appreciative for a while.

Good guy, what are you talking about, "extremely superior to Han Gao", "not inferior to a horse of light and martial arts", this is almost exaggerated, it is so high, you have never said such a high praise to me, have you?
After being silent for a while, he continued to ask: "Since you think highly of Wang Zheng, how can you still say that this son is behind the scenes?"

"If the assassin was sent by Wang Zheng, as long as this son is not stupid, he would not leave so many loopholes. For example, why did he arrange for the assassin from Guanrimen, and why did he specially find a Qi County man to be the middleman? Now that he has ruled the nine counties, can't he find someone who can do things?"

"This pile, one piece, is not only too obvious, it can even be said to be deliberate."

While talking, Yuan Shao shook his head, expressing his disbelief: "It's precisely you who found out so much "evidence" on the day when the crime happened, I guessed at that time that this son was definitely not the one who did it. It is obvious that someone deliberately set the blame on!"

This analysis is reasonable, and many officials in the palace also secretly nodded in agreement.

But he didn't know that Pang Ji had already prepared for it, and immediately said after hearing the words: "My lord, it is precisely because the evidence is too obvious, it seems too much to be framed by someone, and Wang Zheng is a famous general in the world, and he knows the art of war well, so I feel that Wang Zheng is suspicious." Bigger!"

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao looked sideways in surprise and asked, "How do you say that?"

"The law of war says that what is empty is real, and what is real is empty."

Pang Ji said in a loud voice: "As my lord said, if the assassin was sent by the king, with his ability, he would not let the minister find out his heels so easily. In the same way, if other people want to blame the king, You should also be able to plan well, how to make this "framing" look more natural, it shouldn't be so obvious."

"This"

Yuan Shao had to admit that what Pang Ji said was quite reasonable. In fact, he believed that the assassin this time was sent by Cao Cao from the very beginning, so as soon as Pang Ji reported that he had found out, Yuan Shao immediately held a court meeting, not only to discuss it in the palace. , more prepared to start mobilization next, and discuss matters on the spot about the western expedition to Yanzhou
But he had to admit that based on his understanding of Cao Cao, the other party naturally had a reason to frame Wang Zheng, but this method didn't seem to be Nasi's style?

It's too simplistic.
"Then what do you mean?"

"I think that it's just too obvious of framing and framing, so it's not framing!"

Pang Ji said word by word: "Why did Wang Zheng arrange for a disciple of Guanrimen? As an assassin woman, she has more opportunities to sneak up on the lord, and her skills are far better than ordinary assassins, so she is more sure of hitting a hit. If it wasn't for General Zhang being quick to see what happened, and my lord being protected by a hundred spirits, this thief's plan would have almost succeeded!"

"The Guanri Sect has strict rules and regulations. If there is no promise from the head of the Guanri Sect, they will never accept the entrustment to do the assassination act. And the new concubine Qiao Wan that Wang Zheng has recently accepted is the direct disciple of the previous generation of the Guanri Sect Head. In the future, he will be the master of the sect, so Wang Zheng cannot get rid of his involvement in this matter."

"Of course, Wang Zheng also considered the consequences if the assassin fails, so in order to cover it up, he not only arranged for a disciple of Guanrimen, but also a person from Qi County to be the middleman. Unfortunately, it is precisely this steward who made a mistake!"

Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard the words, "What's wrong? By the way, you can catch that steward? You speak so convincingly, did the steward confess something?"

"My lord, I just found out the whereabouts of the steward the day before yesterday, so I immediately led people to round up him, but unfortunately the man was very vigilant, and had a poison pill hidden in his mouth, and when he found out that he was surrounded and had no hope of escaping, he immediately bit the poison pill and killed him on the spot. "

"Then what's wrong with what you said?"

Hearing this, Pang Ji smiled slightly, and took out something from his pocket, "I intercepted a letter, and it was from it that I discovered the truth. My lord knew it at a glance. The assassination case, that Lizi was the mastermind behind the scenes." , The so-called framing is really a very clever method of "self-defilement", so that the lord and ministers can rule him out of suspicion from the very beginning!"

"Letter?" Yuan Shao looked at Pang Ji suspiciously, and asked, "Didn't you get it from the person in charge?"

"No."

It's all gone to the last stage, Pang Ji and the real mastermind will not show their flaws at this time, and Wang Zheng will "smear himself", and it is impossible to go too far: "When I found out the thief's whereabouts, the thief was already gone!" Entering the borderlands, with such rapid speed in just a few days, there must have been someone covering the way, so I traced the source and disrupted several strongholds of foreign spies, and this letter was obtained from one of them."

"You have always been meticulous in your work."

Yuan Shao nodded lightly, praised, and immediately took the letter handed over by the attendant, and immediately frowned as soon as he saw it, and understood the meaning of Pang Ji's "know it at a glance": "This word."

However, the eye-catching handwriting is jagged and scattered, which sounds like flying dragons and phoenix dances, but is crooked and scribbled, even a little ugly (in Yuan Shao's opinion), and it is definitely not written by famous masters.

But the key point is that the strokes are oddly shaped and quite irregular, but there is an indescribable arrogance between the lines, high-spirited, readable characters, people can immediately think that the writer must be in a high position, especially When the spring breeze is proud.

And this kind of "calligraphy" that is difficult to be elegant, it was precisely not long ago that Yuan Shao had seen it once, precisely because it was "ugly" and unique, and it was still fresh in his memory!

After reading the contents of his heart, his face quickly darkened, and he immediately shouted: "Come on!"

"Go and find the congratulatory form that the Yangzhou Mission sent before and give it to me!"

After placing the two letters in front of the case, Yuan Shao lowered his head and read them attentively.

Although Yuan Shao couldn't see his lord's face and expression clearly at the moment, and Yuan Shao didn't say anything, but the atmosphere in the hall became more and more severe, but everyone guessed one thing.

It is said that the congratulatory form in Yangzhou was written by Wang Zheng. Since Yuan Shao wanted to compare it with the evidence of the assassin case, he kept silent for a long time. I am afraid that the result of the comparison would be the result.
Are they all written by Wang Zheng himself?
Although it was afternoon and the sun was smoky, the whole hall seemed to have returned to a few months ago, as lonely and silent as winter.

When everyone didn't dare to take a breath, Yuan Tan looked deeply at Yuan Shao, who was above the high rank, and suddenly smiled slightly, stepped forward boldly, and said loudly: "Father, in fact, my son came back this time. , There is also an important matter related to military affairs to report."

Hearing this, there was a slight sensation among the officials. Yuan Tan is the governor of Qingzhou, and at this sensitive point, what important military affairs are you talking about?Could it be related to Xuzhou?

Yuan Shao didn't look up, but waved his hand slightly to signal.

"Just a few days before the father's assassination, the sentry cavalry of Erchen's department reported that there were many groups of cavalry in the counties on the border of Taishan County. It was suspected to be the mobilization of soldiers and horses within the Xuzhou Army, but..."

Having said this, Yuan Tan paused for a moment, and then said in a more serious tone: "I don't know why, but after the day of the incident, these soldiers and horses returned to Xuzhou territory!"

The hall was full of astonishment, the officials were in an uproar, Xu You even stepped out immediately, and shouted sharply: "Master, if it is like the major general said, it is clear that the Wang Zheng side knew in advance that there might be civil strife in Jizhou, so they took advantage of it Enter, the map of going north!"

"It's just that the protagonist in the back is out of danger. I, Jizhou, didn't fall into the predicament of leaderless dragons, so I gave up this intention just now."

"Brother Ziyuan's words are not bad!" Tian Feng came out in response, and also echoed: "Then the question is, how did Wang Yukou know in advance?"

"Could it be that he is good at divination and has the skill of prophet?"

The two counselors who have always had different opinions spoke out at the same time, so naturally they would not act suddenly, their companions in the camp had already prepared, and one of the civil servants behind Tian Feng also immediately stepped out, "Mr. How can you have the ability to deceive some rural women by bluffing and scaring you?"

"From my point of view, there is only one possibility, and that is Qingzhou Wangzheng, who is behind the master's assassination case!"

Others also came out one after another, and they all echoed: "That's right, that's right, Wang Yukou's wolfish ambition must be the mastermind."

"This son was born as a bandit. He has always had no respect for his father and no loyalty in his heart. It is not surprising that he did such despicable things."

"Not only that, but in my opinion, this is more about wanting to strike first. Gentlemen, please think about it. Last year, this son killed Marquis Yangdi and even took away his foundation. Naturally, he is worried about the revenge of the Yuan family and the lord."

When the whole hall became more and more noisy, Yuan Shao finally raised his head, his face had turned livid.

At this time, the officials were discussing enthusiastically, no one noticed this, and they kept on chattering. After Yuan Shao glanced over the officials, he suddenly found that even Tian Feng, Xu You, Shen Pei, and even Pang Ji had participated in the discussion. up
But there was another person standing quietly behind the crowd, outside the hustle and bustle, just silent.

"Zezhu," Yuan Shao said quietly, but instantly quieted the hall, "What do you think about this matter?"

"Do you think the assassin who assassinated this general was sent by Wang Zheng?"

Ju Shou came out lightly, bowed to Yuan Shao, and said solemnly: "In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether the assassin is sent by Wang Zheng, Cao Cao, or even other princes!"

"Because in my opinion, this assassin was sent by all of them!"

There was no sound at all in the main hall, even Xu You, Tian Feng and others who passed the sound in advance, did not expect Ju Shou to answer like this, and they couldn't help being stunned.

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao suddenly became very calm, but his face was calm, unmoved, showing the skill of nourishing Qi, "How do you say that?"

"Excuse me, my lord, has my lord ever harbored murderous intentions towards Wang Zheng?"

Yuan Shao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "If you want to achieve great success, this son will have to be removed sooner or later!"

"Then what about Cao Cao?"

"The same is true!"

"That's it."

Ju Shou smiled slightly, and said word by word: "Both of these two people have plans to achieve great things, and how the lord treats them is how they will treat the lord!"

"Since both of them have murderous intentions towards the lord, does it matter who sent the assassin?"

"Haha," Yuan Shao suddenly laughed, "In this way, it really doesn't matter who the mastermind of the assassination is!"

"Then let's put it another way."

After speaking, he paused, took a deep look at Jushou, and asked lightly: "Then who do you think should be?"

Jushou raised his head, and met Yuan Shao's condescending gaze, and the relief in his eyes flashed past.

Jushou hoped that Yuan Shao could make the choice he expected, but he also didn't want to be fooled and deceived by his courtiers!

And this "should" has already explained a lot.

"It should be Wang Zheng!"

Yuan Shao nodded, seemingly not surprised: "Why?"

"Because Mr. Pang said something just now, and I deeply believe it!"

Staring at Yuan Shao, Ju Shou was sonorous and forceful, and said each word with authenticity: "Wang Zheng is open-minded and far-sighted, even like Han Gao's style, and he has a winning strategy, which is not inferior to a match of glory and force!"

"Excuse me, my lord, if this son is Henkel, how will my lord handle himself?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao finally changed color!
Yes, if Wang Zheng wants to be Liu Bang, who can he be?
Is it Xiang Yu, or Han Xin?

Yuan Shao closed his eyes, raised his head, took a deep breath, and calmed down his emotions. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again.

His eyes swept across the group of officials like a knife, and every time he made eye contact with him, he unconsciously lowered his head, only feeling that his lord was superior, and his whole body exuded an incomparable and breathtaking aura.

"Hey, even Xiao Henkel, not inferior to Guangwu?"

Yuan Shao muttered to himself, and the more he spoke, the more vehement his tone became, he suddenly flicked his sleeves, and heard a "bang", directly knocking over the lamp in front of the desk!
With a sound of "哗啦", the whole hall fell to their knees, everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, and no one dared to make a sound.Only the light sound of the lamp slowly rolling on the ground echoed in the empty hall.

The next moment, a sentence full of murderous intent resounded in the hall.

"Zhu Zi'an dares to bully me!"
