Under the gaze of everyone, Murong Hui said in a deep voice:
"The assassination of my brother Murong Zhengshan in Jiangnan this time was a conspiracy by the Qianhu Guards of the Zhennan Army. They created lies and spread them everywhere in order to disrupt the morale of our Fengwu Army and create internal conflicts in our Fengwu Army. My colleagues in the Fengwu Army must not fall into their trap..."
After hearing Murong Hui's statement, everyone at the Zhongyong Hall meeting had different expressions, and some even began to quietly take a look at Cui Shao.
They are all important military and political officials of the Fengwu Army. Naturally, they are very aware of the overt and covert struggles between the Murong family and An Miaoyi and Cui Shao's faction!
And this time the rumor spread by Xu Zhaojie was completely to put the knife aimed at An Miaoyi into the hands of the Murong family!
Therefore, many people think that the Murong family will definitely not miss this good opportunity and will definitely give An Miaoyi an explanation. Even if they do not destroy An Miaoyi, they will at least make An Miaoyi disgraced!
But I didn't expect that at this moment, Murong Hui would give up such a good opportunity and insist that this was Xu Zhaojie's conspiracy to suppress the Southern Army. He had no intention of targeting An Miaoyi. This actually made some people who originally wanted to sit back and watch the tiger fight. People are a little disappointed!
The reason why Murong Hui did this was because Cui Shao and the Murong family had reached some private agreement to prevent the Murong family from causing trouble!
There are many people who hold this view, but Gu Sansi has some different opinions on this. At this time, he was quietly looking at Cui Shao from the corner of his eye... ···············
But what made Gu Sansi a little disappointed was that Cui Shao's face was very calm and there was no trace of any disturbance at all!
Because the news that An Miaoyi was suspected of being involved in the assassination of Murong Zhengshan has been widely circulated not only among the people but also among the government. Therefore, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Gu Sansi, Zhao Han, and Cui Shao also responded to this matter. The matter was discussed.
Although the three of them had discussed this matter, because it involved matters in the commander's backyard, the three of them were very cautious about it and did not dare to express their attitude easily. Therefore, after the three people's discussion, there was no unified opinion, but everyone generally agreed. Agree to call Murong Hui over first to see what he thinks.
At first, Murong Hui did not express his position easily on this matter. He just said that he wanted to find out the truth and give justice to his brother Murong Zhengshan.
Then Cui Shao expressed his stance. He said that the investigation will definitely get to the bottom of the truth. Not only must justice be given to Murong Zhengshan, but also justice must be given to everyone to prevent some people's ghostly conspiracy from succeeding!
However, this is wartime, everything is subject to the war, and everyone must take into account the overall situation of the Fengwu Army. Therefore, the unity within the Fengwu Army must be demonstrated to the outside world, and Xu Zhaojie must not be given any opportunity to take advantage of it!
At first, Murong Hui had different opinions on Cui Shao's idea, but Cui Shao talked about Zhao Han's heart. As a representative of the military, he had always insisted on the overt and covert fighting between the An Cui faction and the Murong family. The principle of neutrality...
But as the chief of staff of the Fengwu Army, what Zhao Han is most worried about is that the conflict between An Miaoyi, Cui Shao and the Murong family has intensified due to this incident, which will lead to internal strife in the Fengwu Army, and then the battle between the two sides will affect the battle on the front line!
Therefore, Zhao Han hoped that the conflict between the two parties would not expand, so he echoed Cui Shao's thoughts and hoped that Murong Hui could take the overall situation into consideration!
Seeing Zhao Han, Cui Shao spoke up, and he was still Jingren's master, so Gu thought carefully and expressed his opinion to Murong Hui, hoping that he could take the overall situation into consideration.
Although Murong Hui was unwilling at first, in the face of the pressure exerted by Cui Shao, Gu Sansi, and Zhao Han, Murong Hui finally failed to withstand the pressure, and this is what happened now!
After Murong Hui made his statement, Li Jian, the director of the Legal Affairs Bureau, coughed lightly and asked Murong Hui in a deep voice:
"Have you discussed it with Chief Inspector Murong Murong? Does Mr. Murong Yuliang have the same opinion?"
Faced with Li Jian's question, Murong Hui shook his head and said:
"I haven't discussed this with my uncle yet, but I think my second uncle has the same opinion as me. This is the most shameful slander of the Zhennan Army!"
Hearing this answer, Li Jian smiled slightly and said:
"Murong Ancha, you and your uncle are both people who understand righteousness, which is really admirable!"
Li Jian said this very sincerely. He knew very well that this matter was very deep and could not be easily investigated. It might not even matter what the truth of the matter was. There is a lot of gaming involved...
If he, the director of the Legal Affairs Bureau, were to be investigated openly, it would definitely be his duty, and this would undoubtedly be a hot potato, and he would inevitably face pressure from all parties!
And Li Jian has never liked to participate in factional battles. He knew very well that the reason why he was able to rise to prominence was largely because he thought Uchiye Mingsheng appreciated his not participating in factional battles!
In this regard, Li Jian, the director of the Legal Affairs Bureau, had made up his mind long ago to draw a clear line between factional fighting and follow Ye Mingsheng's steps step by step!
Therefore, Li Jian can be said to avoid this bad matter as far as he can. As long as it is not investigated openly, it is a matter of the Coordination Office and the Internal Security Bureau, and has nothing to do with his Legal Affairs Bureau. !
After Li Jian finished speaking, Cui Shao coughed lightly and then looked around the crowd and said:
"This matter is Xu Zhaojie's conspiracy to split our Fengwu Army. Whoever spreads this rumor everywhere is Xu Zhaojie's accomplice!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked solemn, knowing that Cui Shao had finalized the matter. At this time, Cui Shao looked at Li Jian and Huo San, who had been silent, and said in a deep voice:
"Director Li, Director Huo, your two departments must work together on this matter to ensure that our internal staff are not affected by this rumor and avoid some bad situations from happening... ·········”
Li Jian and Huo San looked at each other and said in unison:
"yes!"
After things were arranged, Cui Shao also looked at Gu Sansi, and Zhao Han asked:
"Director Gu, Chief of Staff Zhao, do you two have anything else to say?"
Gu Sansi and Zhao Han both shook their heads. Seeing this, Cui Shao immediately announced that the meeting was adjourned.
After a cup of tea at the end of the meeting, Qiqige reported the contents of the meeting to An Miaoyi. After describing the contents of the meeting, Qiqige also said excitedly:
"It is Mr. Cui who is so powerful. He immediately clarified this matter. Whoever dares to say that you, Madam, were involved in this matter in the future will be Xu Zhaojie's accomplice and will be beheaded!"
While talking, Qiqige still made a beheading gesture, looking very proud. Rumors have been spreading recently, so Qiqige was a little nervous. But now that she heard such good news, Qiqige was relieved. One breath!
Compared with Qi Qige, An Miaoyi was very indifferent to this matter. She knew that this matter was not about how powerful Cui Shao was, but that the Murong family had also figured it out. Ye Mingsheng would not allow Xu Zhaojie to try to split Feng Feng. Wu Jun's conspiracy succeeded!
Therefore, under this premise, it is no longer important whether or not he participated in the assassination of Murong Zhengshan. Not to mention that he really did not do it, even if Murong Zhengshan really sent someone to kill him, Ye Mingsheng would never admit it!
So after thinking about what Ye Mingsheng would do, the Murong family also chose to take a step back to open up the world!
But the fact that things have reached this stage is just an end, and it is far from the end. The real battle will not begin until my husband returns to Yi Jing!
Now is just the last calm before the storm...

Jiangnan, Lin'an
Lu Houde has been in a good mood recently and even selected a new thin horse a few days ago. While he was enjoying himself at home, a servant hurried over and reported to him:
"My eldest son, I sent someone here to tell you that there is something urgent to call you over!"
Lu Houde was also very surprised when these words came out, and he immediately asked:
"Do you know what happened?"
"The person who came here didn't say anything, it's just that there is something urgent and I need you to go there now!"
Hearing this, Lu Houde didn't know what was going on, but he immediately pushed away his concubine, quickly dressed and rushed towards his father's Governor's Mansion with his servants.
Arriving at the door of the Governor's Mansion, Lu Houde happened to meet his cousin Lu Yun. As soon as Lu Yun saw Lu Houde, he immediately came over and asked:
"Brother, why did uncle call us here?"
Lu Houde said in a deep voice:
"I don't know either. I'll find out after I go in!"
After that, Lu Houde walked into the Governor's Mansion and came to Lu Jianchao's study. At this time, Lu Jianchao was sitting in the study with a serious expression on the Taishi chair.
Several important civil servants and counselors in the room, such as Zhao He and Cao Yan, were also in the study. Lu Houde became a little nervous when he saw this posture. He knew that the battle between Fengwu Army and Zhennan Army must have come to an end. ·····················
Hiding the questions in their hearts, Lu Houde and Lu Yun both bowed to Lu Jianchao. Seeing that the most important people were present, Lu Jianchao did not show off and nodded to his close minister Cao Yan.
After receiving the instruction, Cao Yan also said in a deep voice:
"There is news from Jingchu that the Zhennan Army led by Xu Zhaojie was defeated by the First Division of Fengwu Army and is currently retreating to Tanzhou!"
"In the Anqing battlefield, the Zhennan Army led by Xu Hu had a good momentum at the beginning and quickly captured Xingzhou. However, then the Fifth Division of the Fengwu Army rushed to help quickly, and the Zhennan Army was caught off guard and defeated Sanfengshan. , He Jingyun is currently rapidly pursuing Xu Hu’s troops!"
As soon as Cao Yan's words came out, everyone's expressions changed. No one expected that in just seven or eight days, the Zhennan Army, which was originally in a good situation, suffered defeats in Jingchu and Anqing!
Among them, especially Zhao He, the Jiangnan counselor who had always advocated supporting the Zhennan Army against the Fengwu Army, his face looked as ugly as shit at this time!
A few days ago, he was in front of Lu Jianchao, beating his chest and sworn to ensure that the Zhennan Army was about to win a great victory. It would not only capture Hanyang, but also sweep across Jingchu and Anqing, giving the Fengwu Army a good look, so he suggested that Lu Jianchao stand on the sidelines. The winner's side··························
But now in the face of the iron-clad facts, the words he once said and the promises he made were like slaps on his face, making his face as swollen as a pig's head!
At this time, Lu Jianchao did not pay attention to Zhao He, but looked at his nephew and asked:
"Yun'er, what do you think of the current situation of the Zhennan Army?"
Facing his uncle's question, Lu Yun did not answer immediately, but frowned and thought carefully.
Because the facts at this time confirmed that Lu Yun's judgment was quite reliable, Lu Jianchao also valued his nephew's opinion. Therefore, seeing Lu Yun's appearance at this time, although Lu Jianchao was anxious, he did not rush him, which was enough. Time for Lu Yun to think.
After half a cup of tea, Lu Yun finally finished his thinking and slowly spoke:
"Uncle, there is no more specific news coming back yet, but judging from the current situation, I think the situation of the Zhennan Army is very bad. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is even on the verge of life and death!"
After hearing this, Lu Jianchao was undoubtedly even more anxious and asked:
"Yun'er, what do you mean by this..."
Lu Yun analyzed in a deep voice:
"The Fengwu Army has much more capital than the Zhennan Army, so the Fengwu Army can afford failure. Even if it loses once, it can recover. But the Zhennan Army cannot. Xu Zhaojie took the initiative to attack in this continuous battle. He was drinking poison to quench his thirst. I want to survive from death!”
"As long as this wave of his offensive fails to produce results and achieves obvious results, he has already lost, not to mention that the Fengwu Army has slowed down and started to counterattack!"
"I think the key point now is whether Xu Hu can keep the Fengwu Army out of Shouchun. Once the Fengwu Army reaches the vicinity of Shouchun, even if Shouchun is not captured, the Zhennan Army will probably be helpless. !”
"Of course, if Xu Hu can force the Fengwu Army back outside Shouchun, then the Zhennan Army may still have a glimmer of hope, but it's just a glimmer of hope!"
"Now that the Fengwu Army has no rivals in the north, the main force of the Fengwu Army's more than 200,000 troops can move south without any scruples!"
"Even if Xu Zhaojie can still survive now, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape by then!"
Lu Yun's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's hearts hard, making everyone's expressions very solemn... ·······
