Chapter 272 Digging a Pit
The imperial palace of Guanwai and the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom.
After receiving Xu Qian's letter, Tuoba Kui couldn't help hesitating.
From Xu Qian's point of view, he put forward the idea of marrying Tuoba Mingzhu to Sima Dezong, which could not be more reasonable.
But as a father, even if he is a godfather, Tuoba Kui is unwilling to agree to this matter.
Everyone knows that the so-called brotherhood is just a bullshit, which is a manifestation of grievances when strength is not good.
Tuoba Mingzhu has reached the age of marriage. If it is allowed to be given to the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, it must be sent there as soon as possible, which is an inevitable fact.
But Tuobai himself did not intend to marry the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. He knew very well that there would be a war with the Jin Dynasty sooner or later, and then, what should he do as a righteous daughter?
Tuoba gui loves this righteous daughter very much. On the one hand, on the other hand, it involves the issue of dignity. The majestic Emperor Wei actually took the initiative to ask for the Central Plains Dynasty and get a princess. Even if the outsider doesn't say it, he can't save his own face!
So Tuoba Kui is very entangled now.
Tuoba Mingzhu is still on her way back. According to Xu Qian, she must also be very willing to become the concubine of Sima Dezong, but Tuoba Miao always feels that it is not the case.
After a long time of meditation, reason finally defeated emotions. Tuoba Kui replied that Xu Qian had full authority to deal with the matter, and also sent a decree to Tuoba Mingzhu and his entourage to return as soon as possible.
"I hope I'm not wrong with this decision"
Tuoba Gui and Tuoba Qianqian have the deepest relationship, which is why they love this daughter so much. Now they have decided on her marriage without Tuoba Mingzhu's consent. Tuoba Gui feels very guilty. If Tuoba Mingzhu is really willing to marry, he will definitely prepare the richest dowry for her.
The urgent letter to Tuoba Mingzhu was just sent away, and another urgent letter from Jiankang was sent to Tuoba Miao.
Like Zhifengtang, there are also many secret agents in the State of Wei who are active in various parts of the Jin Dynasty, especially they have recently contacted Erliu Yu, who were previously destroyed by the Jin court, so they obtained more information about the Jin Dynasty.
"The remnants of Erliu, a large number of dead men on the Internet, want to assassinate him on the way south"
After reading this secret report, Tuoba Kui was also very surprised. Although he didn't know much about those reckless people in the Central Plains, he knew that the energy of those people was really immeasurable, such as Feng and Murong, didn't they all die under these people?
If the emperor of the Jin Dynasty hid in the Luoyang Palace, Tuoba Yu must have sniffed about this matter, but the emperor of the Jin Dynasty went south, and he also had a good habit of private visits, it is hard to say what the result would be.
Tuoba gui has led Lu Qiang as his great enemy. If Lu Qiang is assassinated, he will not hesitate to rise up and go south again. Not to mention destroying the Jin Dynasty, he will also drive the Jin Dynasty back to the south of the Yangtze River.
So since receiving this news, Tuoba Kui has been anxiously waiting for the result.
Lu Qiang, who is thousands of miles away, did not know that Tuoba Ji was not only ready to recruit him as his son-in-law, but also remembered the news of his death day and night.
Jiankang's market is still as calm as before, and there is nothing wrong, but under this calm surface, the largest investigation in history is being carried out nervously.
Immediately after Dai Qianqiu, Feng Ping also came from Luoyang and personally presided over Jiankang's network collection. Lu Qiang, as the emperor, seems to have become a spectator. In addition to listening to reports from all aspects, he criticizes the emergency memorials sent by Luoyang every day. The days are no different from before.
However, Lu Qiang's calmness has become the biggest pressure on Feng Ping. Even when he investigated Xie Wangzu before, he did not feel so much pressure.
Although Jiankang is no longer the capital of the empire, can the heritage accumulated over the years be easily erased?
Old officials, merchants and rich families, Jianghu gangs... A large number of people gathered in Jiankang to form a complex and chaotic network of relationships.
Although the spies of the court are also in it, these guys are more and more cunning. There may be ordinary illegal laws and regulations, but when it comes to big cases of rebellion, they are all secretive.
However, Feng Ping was a senior spy after all, and finally he found what he wanted to find in the chaotic clues.
There is only a small store in the east of the city, but the entry and exit of goods is very amazing. Jiankang is not short of grain, and the price of grain is not high. I don't know where his grain has been sold.
An inn opened by a shopkeeper surnamed Zhou in Nanchengmen has recently received more than 20 businessmen of unknown origin.
In the light of the monks, the control of people in the Jin Dynasty has always been the most strict. When staying in the store, you must indicate your identity and the direction of coming and going so that the government can investigate.
More than 20 people lived in one place at the same time, but it did not cause the vigilance of the government, which only shows that there are people in the local government who secretly take care of it. However, such information falls into Feng Ping's eyes, and it is not so easy to muddle through.
There is still a lot of information worth paying attention to, but Fengping decided to start with these two places first.
After reporting the idea to Lu Qiang, Lu Qiang pondered for a moment before saying, "They thought I was in Guangling, but they didn't necessarily transfer the main force there. OK, just start from these two places and startled the snake to see what jumped out?"
Sometimes, some things are like telepathy. While sending several groups of powerful men to assassinate Lu Qiang in Guangling, he did not leave Jiankang.
It's not that he has the ability of an uncertain prophet, but just a feeling that this assassination may not be as smooth as expected.
Participating in this assassination was not only the masters of his network training, but also more than a dozen masters from Baekje. These a dozen Baekje people were not sent by the Baekje court, but the remnants left there when Liu Yi counterattacked the mainland from Baekje.
The cunning rabbit still has three caves. At that time, Liu Yi did not leave himself a way out, but he had no chance to escape back at all.
So Liu Yi's men gathered together with a man who claimed to be his adopted son and gathered a group of defeated soldiers who had escaped from the mainland. They pretended to surrender to the king of Baekje and turned into officers and soldiers of Baekje, but they were secretly accumulating strength and ready to kill back to the mainland at any time.
It is no exaggeration to say that as far as the dark forces are concerned, there is no looseness in the world today. So his confidence began to expand again.
At this time, Tiansong is discussing with several cadres about the assassination of the emperor and how they should rise up after the successful assassination.
Some detectives continuously reported the situation in Guangling. Judging from the information received so far, the emperor is step by step towards the trap set for him, and it seems that success is imminent.
When it comes to happiness, everyone can't help showing excitement, yes! Who has hundreds of thousands of people who can calm down?
"Master, as long as you shake your arms, hundreds of thousands of people in the world will definitely respond, and dozens of storms will change! Ha ha! When the master sits in that position, I will be regarded as the founding father."
"I think that the leader should first find a position in the Jin court, and then he can take the opportunity to mobilize millions of Jin troops"
A million Jin army suddenly lowered the indoor temperature by several degrees, yes! Even if the emperor is killed, how can the millions of troops in the imperial court resist it?
Tiansong smiled and said, "Don't worry. As long as the emperor dies, the court will inevitably have no leader, and as long as we occupy the weakest old Yan land controlled by the Jin army, borrow the wolf horse of the Wei army in the north, and then go south to compete with the Jin army. At that time, we don't know who will kill!"
"Or the master is smart"
"Wonderful, really wonderful..."
The boss set the tone, and his men suddenly flattered him, really saying that Tiansong was a fairy.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps interrupted the praise of the disciples, and then a man dressed as a clerk quickly walked in.
"Master, a group of people who didn't wear official uniforms just went to Liu Ji Mixing and Zhou's old store respectively. After sealing up the place, they took everyone away"
"What?"
Boss Liu and the shopkeeper Zhou were both disciples of Tiansong. At this time, they also praised Tiansong below. Hearing the news, the two were the first to jump out.
Tian Song's staff is very miscellaneous, and he relies on some deception. First, he puts these people under the door, then brainwashes them, and uses various means to control them.
When sailing is smooth, these people are the most staunch supporters of Tiansong, and once something happens, these people will become faster than anyone else, which is the main reason why Tiansong has never succeeded.
Because he can't use people.
Tian Song stared at the two people who jumped out fiercely and scolded, "What's the panic?"
turned to the clerk and said, "Sent someone to the government office to find Chen Sima and ask what was going on. Why didn't anyone inform us of such a big action?"
The man bowed down and took the order, and several backbones were not excited at this moment. It seemed that they didn't realize until now that they were doing something to lose their heads.
Boss Liu and shopkeeper Zhou can be led as the backbone by Tiansong. Of course, they are not the kind of goods that are scared.
Boss Liu frowned and said, "Master, will there be fraud in this? Mr. Hun has been alert to our actions, but he still goes to Guangling with great fanfare, and his actual goal is the foundation of our health."
Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at Boss Liu and said coldly, "Brother Liu woke up late, didn't he? Master, my subordinates feel that the government is testing us. After all, our previous activities in Jiankang were too frequent."
Another backbone interrupted: "Master, I suggest that we should leave Jiankang and avoid it for the time being!" Zhifengtang's guys are not for nothing. Maybe they have found some clues, otherwise how can they easily arrest people?
After listening to a few subordinates, Tiansong's eyelids jumped uncontrollably, and a trace of doubt came to his heart.
"Did Sima Dezong also dig a hole for me in Guangling, waiting for me to jump in?"
