After instructing Su Yi to stabilize Lu Jianchao and Song Weijie, Cui Shao asked Dadongsheng Company to cooperate with the chief secretaries of various places to transport some urgently needed supplies to the front line as soon as possible... ·········
After the instructions were almost completed, Cui Shaocai ended the Zhongyong Hall meeting. After everyone left, An Miaoyi slowly walked out of the screen.
Cui Shao, who looked slightly tired, asked very calmly:
"Did you do it?"
Although Cui Shao did not directly refer to it, An Miaoyi knew exactly what her uncle was asking, and a wry smile appeared on her face:
"Uncle, although I want to get rid of Murong Zhengshan, I know very well what should be done and what should not be done. I will never have anything to do with the Zhennan Army!"
"Since you helped me cook Chen Wu last time, I haven't continued!"
Hearing what An Miaoyi said, Cui Shao turned to look at her, and under his gaze, An Miaoyi acted very firmly and calmly.
Seeing this, Cui Shao also believed what An Miaoyi said. When he first learned the news, Cui Shao had some doubts that An Miaoyi was responsible.
After all, although he dissuaded An Miaoyi and dealt with Chen Wu to avoid being traced by the internal guards, Cui Shao was not sure that An Miaoyi would listen to him!
But what worries Cui Shao even more is that An Miaoyi will take risks and have anything to do with the Zhennan Army...
Facing Cui Shao's gaze, An Miaoyi preached very seriously:
"Uncle, this is a trick of the Murong family! They want to frame this matter on me!"
Even though An Miaoyi said this resolutely, Cui Shao didn't dare to believe her words completely, and his brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".
Seeing Cui Shao like this, An Miaoyi became a little anxious. Facing the Murong family's dirty tricks this time, she knew that if she was not careful, she might be doomed, so she could never let the Murong family take the blame. On to yourself!
And her strength alone is not enough, she needs Cui Shao's help!
So An Miaoyi gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice:
"Uncle, if I fail this time, the Murong family will definitely grow bigger. Then they will not tolerate you, nor will they tolerate the Cui family!"
Hearing what An Miaoyi said, Cui Shao felt a little disgusted with An Miaoyi's kidnapping rhetoric, but he had to admit in his heart that what An Miaoyi said made sense!
Not to mention that the Cui family has a mutually prosperous and mutually destructive relationship with An Miaoyi, let's just say that he and Murong Yuliang have different political opinions, and now they are still fighting over the issue of taxes!
If the Murong family really uses this matter to defeat An Miaoyi, then if the Murong family gains power, he, the central envoy of the Central Academy, will probably be alone... ············
Cui Shao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Although judging from the current situation, helping An Miaoyi can be said to be his best choice!
But Cui Shao was really worried. An Miaoyi ignored his dissuasion and insisted on killing Murong Zhengshan, and then had some collusion with the Zhennan Army. If this was found out, he and the entire Cui family would also be dragged into the water. !
An Miaoyi seemed to have noticed Cui Shao's scruples, and no longer had any hesitation, and immediately opened her mouth and swore:
"Heaven above! If I, An Miaoyi, really have any collusion with the Zhennan Army, I will die without a burial place and will not enter the six realms of reincarnation!"
Cui Shao was also very surprised to see An Miaoyi make such a strong oath, but he still knew the character of his niece very well. He knew that An Miaoyi was still very arrogant at heart and valued her oath very much. !
Therefore, Cui Shao finally chose to believe An Miaoyi and immediately asked:
"What's the situation here now?"
Facing Cui Shao's inquiry, An Miaoyi felt happy. She knew that Cui Shao finally chose to help her, and immediately told Cui Shao what she knew about the situation.
After listening to An Miaoyi's story, Cui Shao also realized that the Jiangnan local snake "Fang Hai" was the key figure in this matter!
Looking at Cui Shao who was lost in thought, An Miaoyi asked softly:
"Uncle, do you want me to send someone to get rid of this Fang Hai?"
Cui Shao shook his head when he heard this and said:
"The last thing you can do now is kill Fang Hai..."
As soon as these words came out, An Miaoyi couldn't help but feel some doubts. In her opinion, as long as Fang Hai died, there would be no proof. Even if others knew something, she could refuse to admit it!
Cui Shao pointed to the crux of the problem and calmly analyzed:
"The truth of the matter is not important, what is important is what the commander-in-chief thinks about this matter!"
As soon as An Miaoyi realized this, Cui Shao continued to ask:
"How much does Huo San know about Fang Hai?"
An Miaoyi thought for a moment and said:
"The contact with Fang Hai was made through Ye Zhen of the Hundred Households of the Coordination Office. Huo San should have noticed it, but he probably didn't know that I had prepared Fang Hai to meet Chen Wu!"
After hearing An Miaoyi's story, a light flashed in Cui Shao's eyes and he said immediately:
"Since Huo San knows about this matter, he probably can't hide it. The only person who can prove your innocence now is Fang Hai. If Fang Hai dies, you will definitely have to bear at least part of the blame, so let this Fang Hai came to Yi Jing alive!"
Upon hearing this, An Miaoyi also understood what Cui Shao meant and said:
"Uncle, do you mean to hand him over to the Coordination Office for trial?"
Seeing that An Miaoyi understood what he meant, Cui Shao also gave her a teachable look, and then continued:
"Not only the Coordination Office, I can arrange for the Justice Bureau to intervene in the joint trial. In this way, no one can say anything in an honest and fair manner... ··”
When he said this, Cui Shao deliberately emphasized the word "above and aboveboard", obviously hinting at something to An Miaoyi.
An Miaoyi looked stunned at first, and then immediately understood Cui Shao's hint, which was to use her influence on Huo San, and Cui Shao could secretly call the Justice Bureau.
On the surface, the Coordination Office and the Bureau of Justice jointly investigated and tried, and no one could say anything. But secretly, the two departments worked together to falsify the truth and completely remove An Miaoyi from the matter.
An Miaoyi hesitated and asked:
"Uncle, what should we do with the inner guards?"
Cui Shao said calmly:
"Although the internal guards are very powerful, they are not really all-pervasive. If they were really so powerful, the bad debts of the Criminal Investigation and Coordination Office would not have been investigated by now!"
"Huo San, the director of the Coordination Office, is not a free man. As long as he is really willing, he can cover up this matter!"
Hearing what Cui Shao said, An Miaoyi was also moved. After some hesitation, she nodded and said:
"Just do what uncle said!"
Cui Shao was a little surprised to see An Miaoyi agree so readily. He originally thought An Miaoyi would think more about it!
After all, although Huo San from the Coordination Office listened to An Miaoyi's greetings, Huo San was still loyal to Ye Mingsheng after all, and he listened to An Miaoyi's greetings because she was Ye Mingsheng's first wife.
So Cui Shao thinks that when it comes to an important issue, Huo San must be on Ye Mingsheng's side, and may not be willing to help An Miaoyi hide it from Ye Mingsheng!
But now An Miaoyi's attitude undoubtedly means that she is confident that Huo San will help her hide this matter from Ye Mingsheng... ···········
·································
·································
Just when An Miaoyi and Cui Shao were thinking about clearing their names, the Southern Army camp in the town of Hanyang City
Xu Zhaojie was eating Xiao Long Bao very leisurely, and beside him, General Lu Zongwu of the Zhennan Army introduced to him:
"Master Marquis, General Yang Zhen asked you when we will attack the city again?"
When Xu Zhaojie, who had just eaten a small steamed bun, heard this, a look of disdain and disdain suddenly appeared on his handsome face!
Yang Zhen is really naive and greedy. He said he would share half of Hanyang with him, but he actually believed it!
And not only did he believe it, but he also wanted to attack Hanyang regardless of casualties, knowing that the First Division of the Fengwu Army was on the way to help, and that he lacked siege equipment and artillery. Take Hanyang before the first division arrives!
To be honest, after Xu Zhaojie learned that Li Zhengyong was killed, although he was very disappointed and did not have much hope in winning Hanyang City, he was not willing to miss Hanyang City like this!
Therefore, Xu Zhaojie initially hoped that after the Fengwu Army killed Li Zhengyong, Li Zhengyong's old troops would be dissatisfied, which intensified the conflict between the two parties and caused problems in the city defense of Hanyang City.
Driven by such thoughts, Xu Zhaojie also organized several strong attacks at the beginning. Unfortunately, Xu Zhaojie was disappointed that instead of having problems with Hanyang City's defense as he had imagined, the resistance was actually worse than he had imagined. More intense······························
Combined with the information that the First Division had left Kangyin and was on its way to Hanyang, Xu Zhaojie had to admit that it was no longer possible for him to capture Hanyang!
Since he knew that Hanyang could no longer be taken, Xu Zhaojie would naturally not organize troops to attack Hanyang and waste his own troops in vain!
But what Xu Zhaojie didn't expect was that Yang Zhen hadn't realized the situation yet, and was still dreaming of dividing half of Hanyang City!
This made Xu Zhaojie despise him, but also felt that it was good for him to be so naive and greedy. It would be easier for him to annex his more than 20,000 Sichuan and Shu troops!
Wiping the oil on his mouth, Xu Zhaojie casually ordered to Lu Zongwu:
"Go tell Yang Zhen that we are working overtime to make siege equipment. As soon as the siege equipment is built, we will attack the city immediately!"
"yes!"
After explaining Lu Zongwu, Xu Zhaojie was going to inspect the military camp to see how the morale of the soldiers and horses below was. However, what he did not expect was that the appearance of a person suddenly disrupted his arrangements... ····················
Because Fang She had asked him for instructions before and would stay in Jiangnan to deal with matters in the near future, so when the dusty Fang She suddenly appeared in front of him, Xu Zhaojie was also very surprised and asked in a deep voice:
"Fang Snake, why are you back?"
Fang She smiled slightly and said respectfully:
"I have a gift for the Marquis!"
Feeling the confidence contained in Fang She's smile, Xu Zhaojie also became interested and asked:
"What gift are you going to give me?"
Fang Snake smiled mysteriously when he heard this, and then shouted outside the account:
"Bring it in!"
A few seconds after Fang She finished speaking, a man tied up by Wu Hua was escorted into the camp.
After carefully looking at the man who was escorted in, Xu Zhaojie asked even more doubtfully:
"who is he?"
Fang She smiled and introduced:
"Master Hou, this man's name is Fang Hai, and he is a local snake in the south of the Yangtze River. Who he is is not important. The key is that he knows a piece of news that can intensify the internal conflicts of the Fengwu Army!"
When Xu Zhaojie heard this, his eyes lit up even more, and he looked at Fang Hai in front of him as if he were looking at some peerless beauty!
Although Xu Zhaojie had always maintained a strong fighting spirit during the war with the Fengwu Army, and tried his best to narrow the gap in strength with the Fengwu Army, the gap between the two sides was still getting wider... ·····················
This feeling of no matter how hard you try to catch up, the gap is getting bigger and bigger in the end. Even Xu Zhaojie sometimes feels a little frustrated!
Therefore, Xu Zhaojie sometimes placed his hope that the Thousand Mile Embankment would collapse in an ant nest and there would be problems within the Fengwu Army. However, in the past, Ye Mingsheng had always firmly controlled the Fengwu Army, which also dashed Xu Zhaojie's hopes!
Just when Xu Zhaojie originally didn't have much hope that there would be problems with the Fengwu Army, he didn't expect that Fang Snake would give him hope again!
At this time, Fang She introduced:
"Master Hou, this Fang Hai is our Qianhu Guard's friend who assassinated Murong Zhengshan in Jiangnan. But what we didn't expect was that besides us, there was a group of people who also found Fang Hai and wanted his help in assassinating a man. people!"
"And the true identity of this group of people is most likely the Fengwu Army Coordination Office, and the person they want Fang Hai to help kill is most likely Murong Zhengshan!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhaojie was stunned for a moment, then recalled the internal situation of Fengwu Army that Fang She had reported to him before, and subconsciously said:
"An Miaoyi and the Cui family want to get rid of Murong Zhengshan?"
Fang She nodded heavily and said:
"I think so, but I don't know why, they didn't put it into practice in the end, but Lord Marquis, this is enough. We want everyone in the world to know about our action to assassinate Murong Zhengshan, and we have obtained An Miaoyi and The Cui family’s help·································"
