"Xiao Huang, what do you mean, why did you kill my general for no reason!"

Wang Cheng was startled and angry, his face was terribly gloomy, his eyes stared fiercely at Xiao Huang, and he cursed angrily.

"Your general?" Xiao Huang smiled coldly when he heard the words, then took out a few letters from his sleeve, and handed them to Wang Cheng, his eyes full of teasing, "Father-in-law might as well take a good look at these letters, you will know that Li Jinhe Who is Xu Guang giving allegiance to?"

At this moment, Wang Cheng gradually calmed down from the initial suspicion. In his impression, Xiao Huang and Li Jin and Xu Guang had never had any intersections, so naturally they would not have any deep hatred, but now Xiao Huang actually killed them directly. There must be a reason for bringing their heads to see him majesticly, and maybe the answer lies in these letters.

Thinking of this, Wang Cheng took the letters from Xiao Huang's hand with a gloomy face, and opened one of them casually. He only glanced at it briefly, and his expression changed drastically. He opened another letter, and his expression became even uglier...

Without exception, these are all letters secretly exchanged between Qilinwei and Li Jin and Xu Guang. Gather information on Wang Cheng and the Liangzhou Army.

"Where did you get these letters?" Wang Cheng looked more and more angrily, and directly tore the letter in his hand to shreds, then stared at Xiao Huang fiercely, panting heavily through his nostrils, and asked angrily, "This old man is the majestic governor of Liangzhou. How dare the Qilin Guards instigate against the old man's generals and plot against the old man."

Facing the furious Wang Cheng, Xiao Huang remained calm, and said with a faint smile, "These letters were naturally found in the study of Li Jin and Xu Guang. If my father-in-law sends people to continue the search now, maybe we can still find them." Find more, just..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huang's tone was full of playfulness: "My lord father-in-law wouldn't really think that Zhang Chu, the commander of a small unicorn guard, would have the courage to instigate against your lord father-in-law's generals, thus harming you Bar."

How could Wang Cheng not have guessed that this matter was definitely not Qilin Wei's self-assessment, it's just that he didn't want to quarrel with the court, so he didn't point it out. He asked in a cold voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Xiao Huang could see that Wang Cheng was angry, but he didn't show any intention of restraining himself, instead he continued to sneer and said, "Father-in-law, why bother to pretend to be ignorant, when five of them went to Beijing for interrogation, three of them died in the end, only The two of them returned to Liangzhou alive... Thinking about it now, they must have betrayed you, father-in-law, and saved their lives... Father-in-law, you might as well think again, they committed such a serious crime, and the world Apart from my father, who else can spare their lives and allow them to pay for their crimes and serve the imperial court."

Xiao Huang's words were not without sharpness, he immediately hit Wang Cheng's sore spot.

When he learned that Zhang Kui and Xu Li committed suicide while fearing their crimes in the prison of Dali Temple, while Li Jin and Xu Guang survived, he also wondered if they betrayed him to save their lives, but at that time Li Jin and Xu Guang were covered with scars, and looked as if they had been tortured. If I showed distrust for them, I'm afraid it would chill the hearts of others.

Therefore, Wang Cheng just sent someone to secretly monitor Li Jin and Xu Guang for a period of time, but he did not find anything unusual about them. In addition, the court did not continue to pursue his crimes, so he gradually put down his guard and no longer doubted the two of them. .

But he never expected that Li Jin and Xu Guang were lurking so deeply. If Xiao Huang hadn't told him today, he wouldn't know how long he would have been kept in the dark.

But when he thought that the emperor and the court had been planning to deal with him, Wang Cheng couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart. Although Li Jin and Xu Guang were dead now, he didn't feel any resentment in his heart. Instead, he felt a deep fear. How should he explain to the imperial court now, after all, both of them are generals of the Liangzhou army, even if he is the governor of Liangzhou, he has no right to execute them without authorization.

"Even if they really betrayed me, you should come to me to discuss it first, instead of killing them on your own... Wait, how did you know that they betrayed me and took refuge in the court?" Wang Cheng was furious. Suddenly, he thought of something, fixed his eyes on Xiao Huang, and asked in a cold voice.

Xiao Huang didn't answer Wang Cheng's question directly, but just looked at Wang Sheng who was on the sidelines, Wang Sheng understood, and then he took the initiative to admit: "I accidentally saw Li Jin interacting with suspicious people of unknown origin, so I followed the clues to find out."

Hearing what Wang Sheng said was so convincing, Wang Cheng couldn't help but believe it a little bit, but then he snorted coldly and said very dissatisfied: "Even so, you can't kill them without authorization. Now that things are up to now, how are you going to deal with them?" The imperial court explained."

"My good father-in-law, you are really a loyal minister of our Great Ning Dynasty, and you still want to give the court an explanation at any time." Xiao Huang smiled coldly, his eyes full of jokes and sarcasm, "Don't forget, when Who tried this case was Xiao Jie, so it must have been his idea to instigate Li Jin and Xu Guang to deal with you. Now that he has become my prince in Daning and holds the power of supervising the country, it is time to close the net. If I don't kill Li Jin and Xu Guang today, I'm afraid you will die at the hands of them in a few days."

Although Xiao Huang's words were a bit harsh, Wang Cheng knew that what he said was not unreasonable, but he still had his own concerns: "Although what I said, the matter has not deteriorated to that point, there is still room for maneuver. , but if you kill Li Jin and Xu Guang now, don’t you want to tear your face with the emperor and openly make an enemy of the court?”

"Since we know that the two of them have evil intentions, we can't keep our lives, lest we have long nights and dreams." Xiao Huang's face was as dark as water, his eyes were cold, "As for the father-in-law's concern about the court's punishment, the sky in Liangzhou is high and the emperor is far away, so we don't have any information. It is necessary to declare to the outside world that there are Qiang people rebelling, and Li Jin and Xu Guang led their troops to suppress the rebellion. After a while, they will report to the court and say that they unfortunately died in battle."

"I'm afraid I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it forever." Wang Cheng still looked worried. After all, Li Jin and Xu Guang were both people who secretly defected to the imperial court. Doubt, I'm afraid it will be very bad if Qilin Wei is sent to investigate.

Moreover, Wang Cheng felt a little uneasy. Li Jin and Xu Guang just betrayed him and took refuge in the court, which did not do Xiao Huang any harm. However, Xiao Huang killed them without hesitation. He would not believe that Xiao Huang was born Because of the deep love between Weng and his son-in-law, there must be some ulterior plot.

Sure enough, Xiao Huang seemed to see through Wang Cheng's thoughts at a glance, and said with a faint smile, "It's fine if we can hide it for a while, this time is enough for us to do many things."

Wang Cheng was extremely surprised and couldn't help asking, "What exactly do you want?"

Xiao Huang sneered coldly, and said word by word: "My lord father-in-law, your Wang family has a feud with Xiao Jie for killing your mother, and I have a dispute with Xiao Jie for the heir apparent. As long as he becomes emperor in the future, he will never let it go." You Wang family and mine, since this is the case, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to strike first and fight hard!"

"What! You want to rebel against the imperial court, to openly rebel?" Wang Cheng couldn't understand Xiao Huang's meaning, he couldn't help being shocked and angry, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of failure, when the time comes, none of us will survive!"

"If you don't act first, do you think Xiao Jie will let you go? Will your Wang family live well?" Xiao Huang smiled coldly, his eyes were determined, "Perhaps you don't have to wait until the day Xiao Jie ascends the throne, Just for the matter of killing the general without authorization, we can't escape the court's questioning."

Wang Cheng was speechless for a while, and just looked at his son-in-law with an unbelievable look. At this moment, he felt that he had become very strange.

He finally understood in his heart that Xiao Huang kindly helped him kill Li Jin and Xu Guang who had rebelled, in order to drag him into the water.

It's just that now, it seems that he really has no other choice.

Facing his father-in-law's sudden silence, the corner of Xiao Huang's mouth suddenly curled into a hint of amusement: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, we are not rebelling against the imperial court, it is just that Xiao Jie poisoned the royal father, and our Liangzhou army entered King Jingqin to avenge the royal father.
