Chapter 2721 Everyone has their own plans
The biggest problem in assassinating Fang Jun was how to leave Tongguan legitimately without being caught afterwards. With this document, Qiu Yingqi's absence from duty without authorization was legal.
However, Qiu Yingqi sneered at this.
With just one document, can he be cleared of suspicion? With Fang Jun's current position and power, even if he had documents in hand and it was legal and legal to leave Tongguan without permission, he would be suspected later and even launch an investigation.
As long as the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple investigate, Qiu Yingqi can guarantee that no matter how clean and tidy he is without revealing any clues, there will definitely be a lot of evidence finally presented on the desks of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and all the evidence will be Pointing at yourself is the real culprit...
If it had been Qiu Yingqi's impulsive and reckless character before meeting his uncle, he might have accepted this task without even thinking. Then after the assassination, he would have been thrown out by Changsun Wuji as a scapegoat, while he himself would have left it clean. However, after his uncle Qiu Xinggong's advice, he had clearly seen Changsun Wuji's intentions. Now if he looks at Changsun Wuji's various methods, they are all loopholes.
Since your eldest son Wuji wants to put me to death, what else can you say?
He picked up the document and looked at it carefully, then put it in his arms and said to Changsun Wen: "Wu Lang, please give a reply to Captain Changsun, and tell him that he will do his best to eradicate Fang Jun, even if he fails to catch him in the end." , I will carry everything with my own strength, and will never hinder Taiwei Changsun in the slightest!"
"Okay! It was said before that Qiu Shenji was the fierce tiger of the Qiu family, but my father said that Qiu Shenji was too ruthless but not courageous enough to become a great person. I didn't believe it before. Now it seems that my father has a better vision of people. , I think that Fang Jun’s authority is far-reaching, but General Qiu is willing to risk his own life for the sake of the court, risking his life and death for his righteousness, it is really admirable and admirable!”
After saying this, Changsun Wen stood up and left his seat, lifted his robe and bowed his hands to the ground.
Qiu Ying twitched the corner of his mouth, and quickly stood up to help him, sighing: "I am just a warrior. To be valued by the eldest grandson Taiwei and entrusted with such a big responsibility is really a blessing! How can I cherish this body and make the court confused?" If you don’t show justice, you will be broken into pieces, but you will have no regrets!”
"General Qiu is a true righteous man! Don't let Zhuanzhu and Yurang be more beautiful than before, but let loyalty, filial piety and loyalty be passed down to future generations. He is really a model for our generation and a pillar of the empire!"
"Haha! How dare you! Qiu is just a common man. If he can have a chance to eliminate the traitors and clean up the court, his wish will be fulfilled and he will die without regrets!"
……
The two cherished each other, holding each other's hands with tears in their eyes. They wished they could chop off chicken heads and burn yellow paper on the spot to become brothers with different surnames. From then on, they did not want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but only wanted to die in the same year, the same month and the same day...
After a while of mutual admiration and greetings, Qiu Yingqi realized that he was far less hypocritical and exaggerated than Changsun Wen, and hurriedly said: "The night leaks are deeper at this time. Although the curfew has been lifted, Wu Hou has not stopped patrolling the streets. What if Wulang is caught by someone later when he returns to the city to report to Captain Changsun? I went to have a secret meeting with a certain person in the night. I was afraid that there would be trouble in the future, but I didn't care. But if I drag down Taiwei Changsun, I will never redeem myself. Wulang, we brothers will be like brothers in the future. Please hurry up today. Go back home quickly and talk about it later.”
Changsun Wen also felt that such sympathy was really disgusting. He usually prided himself on being noble, but now he had to comfort and encourage Qiu Yingqi like this against his will. He quickly replied: "Brother, I am still very experienced. At the next moment, I was in a turbulent mood. I almost couldn't." I've missed something important! I'll take my leave now. I wish my brother success, success, and great achievements in killing traitors for the imperial court! I will host a banquet for you on the day of your victory!"
……
After finally sending Changsun Wen away, Qiu Yingqi was already completely sleepless. He ordered people to light all the lamps and candles in the hall, and made a pot of tea. He sat on a chair and drank slowly, his mind spinning rapidly. , thinking about how to deal with it.
It seemed that his uncle's speculation was correct. Changsun Wuji wanted to use himself to assassinate Fang Jun, and he would push himself out after the incident was completed.
With the energy of the Guanlong nobles, if his whereabouts and some evidence were casually leaked, he would be hard-pressed to defend himself. Even if he confessed that it was Changsun Wuji who ordered him, no one would believe him.
Even if he believed it, could Changsun Wuji plead guilty and be punished just by relying on his own words?
Therefore, regardless of whether he could assassinate Fang Jun, as long as he left Tongguan with this document, he would be dead.
This "shady man" is indeed sinister and vicious, and he can actually use such despicable methods to eliminate Fang Jun while keeping himself out of it.
Hum! If I am as ignorant as before, I will naturally fall into your trap and eventually bear the blame and be damned. But now that I have seen through your conspiracy, how can I let you succeed so easily?
Not only could Changsun Wuji not be allowed to succeed, he would also have to cut off one of Changsun Wuji's arms and pay the "voucher of surrender" to His Highness the Crown Prince!
I don’t believe that I have taken refuge in the prince and become the prince’s confidant. How dare you, a “shady man”, to kill me?
Early the next morning, Qiu Ying first went back to Chang'an to meet his uncle. He plotted for half an hour before leaving the city and returning to Tongguan. He ordered three hundred soldiers and included his own dead soldiers in order to pursue him. In the name of the bandits who had forced their way through the pass a few days ago, they swaggered out of Tongguan, then took a boat south and headed straight to Jianghuai.
Not long after Qiu Yingqi left the customs, a caravan of more than a hundred people took a boat and headed south, closely following...
*****
The Great Wall Xu family's manor in Suzhou is located on the bank of Jinji Lake in the northeast outside the city. In the drizzle, the misty rain and misty mountains and clear water are beautiful, full of the charm of the Jiangnan water town.
A manor built along the lake is gorgeously decorated and beautifully designed. Several princesses praised it after moving in. They often took a boat trip on the lake in the drizzle, which was very relaxing and comfortable.
Li Tai, Fang Jun and Du He were sitting across from each other in a pavilion by the lake. There was a tea set on the stone table. The green tea soup in the tea cup was filled with steam. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe stood with his hands down. on one side.
The fragrance of tea is thick, the drizzle is misty, the beautiful lake in front of you is rippling with blue waves, and the green mountains in the distance are winding and undulating.
The middle-aged man in brocade robes stood in the pavilion with his hands down, leaning forward, and said respectfully: "When my father heard that His Highness and the Duke were coming to Jiangnan, he prepared his bags and wanted to come to Suzhou to meet him. Unfortunately, it has been raining recently and the weather has turned cold. , I accidentally caught the wind and cold and was unable to travel in time. I specifically asked you to come here to express your apology. ”
Fang Jun looked at this man but said nothing.
This person is Xiao Jing's son Xiao Qi. I have only heard of his name before but never met him. Today is the first time I met him.
It's just that Xiao Jing, an old thief, was hiding in Jinling and sent one of his sons to come to Suzhou... It's self-evident what kind of evil intentions he had in mind.
Li Tai was naturally able to figure out the stance of Xiao Jing and even the entire Xiao family. His face became a little gloomy, but he nodded lightly and said slowly: "Oh? The autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is cold, and the humidity is too heavy, which is very bad for the health of the elderly. After all, when people get older, they not only lose their ability to think clearly, but their roots are also severely damaged. It is difficult to resist the slightest invasion of wind evil. If the disease enters the fabric and damages the root, it will be a serious illness. ”
I have no problem with you getting involved in the dispute over the reserve, and I'm not happy to take care of it.
There are many ways to get involved in the dispute over the reserve, and there are countless ways to attack Fang Jun. Why do you want to make a fuss over the properties and property that have been donated to Fang Jun and that everyone in the world now knows has been transferred to Lao Tzu?
Isn't this a slap in my face?
It would be weird to show you any shame!
Xiao Qi was stunned, and could only say with a wry smile: "What His Highness said is true. I would like to thank Your Highness for your concern on behalf of my father."
Hearing the unabashed anger in Wei Wang Li Tai's words, he was helpless. His father refused to listen to dissuasion. Even Song Guogong Xiao Yu, who was in Chang'an, wrote to him more than once, giving numerous instructions to the Xiao family. Be sure not to get involved , it was enough to have him in Chang'an, but his father somehow got obsessed and kept silent after Wang Jing's visit. This was actually tantamount to getting involved. Not only that, this move was almost tantamount to blatant support for Xiao Yu's relationship with Xiao Yu. The king of Jin had conflicting intentions.
If that's all, that's it. After all, everyone has their own opinions on things like political stance. My father just sees that King Jin can succeed, so it's not a bad idea to do this.
But why did Fang Jun rush to Suzhou overnight after he arrived in Jiangnan and used thunderous methods to frighten a group of Jiangnan nobles?
It is obvious that the head and the rat are swinging at both ends, which is a taboo... (End of Chapter)
