Devil’s Advent

Yingdu,

Yinzhuxuan,

An estate under the palace,

A quiet restaurant hidden in the world.

Ping Xihou has no property in Zaiying, and living in an inn seems a bit awkward, so he was chosen here as his place of residence.

It is necessary to clear the venue. During this period of time, there can only be one guest here, Ping Xihou.

actually,

If you really want to count according to human relations,

This is really a bit unreasonable.

you are invited,

people please stay

As a result, you still slap people on the left cheek and then slap them on the right cheek again.

but,

Politics belongs to politics, and favors belong to favors. Anyway, after Lord Zheng lived in, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

Think about it from another angle,

Isn't the property under Prince Cheng's mansion all the people's anointing? I came to Yingdu to stabilize the situation in Yingdu, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. It's only natural for them to contribute some taxes to entertain me, isn't it?

but,

There is no such thing as the most famous silk and bamboo singing and dancing in this Yinzhuxuan now.

Firstly, Marquis Pingxi didn't like this kind of tone very much, and secondly, this is not the Marquis' mansion and has just experienced an assassination incident, so how could outsiders come in and out on a large scale?

so,

in the conservatory,

Is still quiet and quiet,

Only sparks in the charcoal basin flew out from time to time.

Zheng Houye still had Ge You lying on it, taking a nap.

down,

Gou Moli sat behind the small table, with a large pile of files in front of him.

Chen Daxia stood around the brazier, laying out potatoes, he was very happy with this one.

The Juggernaut leaned against the corner early on, with a blanket on his body, breathing evenly, apparently falling asleep.

Shaoqing,

He Chunlai walked in,

Asked in a low voice:

"Master Hou, do you want supper?"

Zheng Fan closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

He Chunlai looked at Gou Moli again, Gou Moli smiled, and pointed to the potatoes being baked by Chen Daxia.

If it is said that Marquis Zheng never tires of eating and drinking as long as conditions permit, then the Savage King really has no requirements for food and drink.

He Chunlai understood and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the Savage King with a wave of his hand again.

"Look at it too, Mr. Bei said, you are learning how to do things from him."

Saying that, Gou Moli pushed the dossier to He Chunlai's side.

He Chunlai is now indeed learning how to do things from the blind man in addition to cooking. Before, he thought he was actually good at doing things. After all, he was a middle-level leader in a martyr organization.

But after studying with the blind man, I realized that I wasn't even a grass-roots team before, and I finally saw what it means to be beyond others.

In fact, He Chunlai had read the dossier on the way.

"Make a list and draw a line. Among the people who were poisoned to death, see if there is any difference, such as the masters behind each family, the backers and so on."

He Chunlai immediately understood, and asked, "Do you think that the target of the assassin is not the Fifth Prince, but the real people who were poisoned to death with poisoned wine?"

Gou Moli shook his head and said, "You are Mr. Bei's student."

He Chunlai was a little excited when he heard this.

"So, I can teach you that most of the things in this world are not like a table, divided into top and bottom, but often like chopsticks, two, taken together."

He Chunlai nodded and said, "Teach me."

"So, in my opinion, the assassination of the Fifth Prince does not conflict with poisoning, and here, there is a gap in itself, because the Fifth Prince sacrifices to the disaster victims, burns incense, bathes, eats fast, and has few desires. It is impossible to drink, so poisoned wine is not prepared for the Fifth Prince;

But the subsequent assassination came for him.

Two things that happen together should be for two purposes, and these two purposes will ultimately benefit one person. "

"Suddenly, I feel that my mind is clear." He Chunlai said.

Gou Moli pointed to the dossier, and said: "You search first, and then divide it carefully, so many people died, some of them must have died in vain. Look for clues."

At this time,

Lord Zheng Hou who was lying on the couch closed his eyes and said:

"Sometimes, the reason why many people die is actually to hide the real target they want to kill."

Gou Moli responded immediately: "Hou Ye is wise and hit the nail on the head."

immediately,

Gou Moli said to He Chunlai, "Hurry up and do something."

"good."

Holding the dossier in his arms, He Chunlai walked to the other corner, sat down, and began to analyze it by the candlelight beside him.

He used to be active in Yingdu. As a hidden existence underground, he can actually see the intricate relationship on the surface more clearly.

After explaining the matter, Gou Moli walked to Chen Daxia's side, stretched out his hand, and took a baked potato.

It was very hot, so he had to keep pounding his right hand with his left hand. During this process, he began to slowly circle around the brazier.

Chen Daxia, who was squatting beside the brazier, said unhappily:

"Knowing that it's hot, I didn't wait to let it cool before taking it."

Gou Moli suddenly stopped in his tracks,

Looking at Daxia Chen,

Daxia Chen blinked.

"yes."

Gou Moli let out an exclamation,

Immediately walk quickly to the side of the couch,

road:

"Master Hou, this subordinate has figured out something."

Lord Zheng Hou, who still had his eyes closed, raised his hand,

road:

"explain."

"Whether the people behind the assassin have anticipated the next reaction?"

"for example."

"For example, the dignitaries of Yingdu will invite you to come to Yingdu to preside over the overall situation and control the situation."

"Another example."

"For another example, the people behind the assassin can even guess what you will do when you come."

Speaking of which,

Gou Moli suddenly knelt down,

Put the baked potatoes aside,

He bowed his head respectfully,

road:

"No, to be precise, the person behind that should have already guessed what the subordinates will suggest to you, Master Hou.

But Hou Ye, your eyes are like a torch, and you have seen through everything long ago, so you deliberately did not act according to the advice of your subordinates, just to go against the intention of the descendants.

Lord Hou is far-sighted,

under,

admire! "

Lord Zheng Hou opened his eyes,

turn your head,

Looking at Gou Moli who was kneeling under the couch,

Mouth:

"What?"

"Yes, Lord Hou, killing the fifth prince is an introduction;

Because, no matter how many powerful and powerful people in Yingdu die, you will not be disturbed. You are a military master, and you cannot leave the fiefdom unless it is a major event, but the fifth prince is of the blood of the Ji family after all. Once his safety is in question, it will inevitably attract attention. All sides shook.

When King Jingnan entered Litian City and no one knew that he could not come out, only you would come to this former capital to take over the place.

The assassination of the Fifth Prince was actually for you to come, in anticipation of your next move.

that move,

It is a suggestion from my subordinates to you,

In order to become the prince's mansion, loosen the ties. "

Lord Zheng Hou was a little dumbfounded,

road:

"pull……"

"Pull away the fog, get rid of self-righteousness, and the matter can indeed be seen clearly." Gou Moli pointed at his face, "It's the subordinate's mistake, everything is taken for granted, I just think I can take this opportunity to do something The matter laid the foundation for the Hou Mansion to move westward in the future.

But the subordinates didn't realize this at first. This introduction was actually left by that person on purpose, and we followed the introduction. In fact, everything was planned by that person long ago.

The purpose of that person is to untie Prince Cheng's mansion.

At present,

Only three people can do it,

A person, representing the imperial court;

One is King Jingnan,

another,

It is the one closest to his love capital, us, Pingxihou Mansion.

after all,

The official face is to be preserved, and the show is to be seen by the world, so it is impossible to treat the Situ family badly;

But behind the scenes, they should be dismembered as they should be, suppressed as they should be suppressed, and the Situ family must not be allowed to restore their former glory.

This is the general trend, this is a necessity, and only these three are truly qualified to go against the current.

But the only one who can really make a move and be able to make a move is our Hou Mansion.

so,

The poisonous killing at the banquet may be a new rotation. Those big shopkeepers, those big families, those dignitaries, once the leader dies, the people below will inevitably fight for power, divide power, and new people will come to the top.

The mastermind behind the scenes wants to make room so that he can arrange for his own person to take over, or divide the property.

this means,

It is too violent and too direct. If it is used in normal times, it will definitely not be used like this, because it will cause a huge backlash.

Looking at the other party from the arrangement to the end, it can be said that they are straightforward and meticulous, so the subordinates feel that the reason why they use poison to forcibly centralize power is because they still have reliance.

This depends on

It probably originated from our Hou Mansion. After you come, Lord Hou, according to his plan, you will loosen the ties to the Wang Mansion.

At that time, the palace can openly absorb the vacant power vacuum and various industries. "

"Everyone knows that the Marquis wants to..."

"What Hou Ye said is that the world is chaotic, how can it be so clear. In their eyes, Hou Ye is Dayan's new generation of military god and the pillar of Dayan;

But there are some things that can be hidden from the masses, but are destined to be hidden from some people.

They can know from a lot of information what we are doing in Shengle City, what we are doing in Xuehaiguan, and what we are doing in Fengxin City.

Anmin, Lixin, Hongshang, Tiaohu, etc., and even the Qing bamboo slips in your residence, Lord Hou,

In fact, they are proving to those who care,

You have a big heart. "

Throughout the ages, some smart people, such as generals, will deliberately extravagant, and deliberately ask the emperor for land and houses before going out to fight. Does he really lack those?

really no shortage;

But it is for self-defilement, for the peace of mind of the superior.

You don't seek enjoyment, but you work hard, you grasp the hearts of the people and the hearts of the army, what do you want to do?

"Master Hou, it is true that King Jingnan was at the front, so he helped us avoid too many ups and downs. The fact is that the assassin of the Qian Kingdom back then was because of his clean sleeves. As a warrior, his official reputation was too good , that's why...

So,

In fact, we hide it well, which is actually not good.

The foundation of our Hou Mansion,

One is in King Jingnan, King Jingnan is in front, King Jingnan will not fall, King Jingnan will not...

We can always stand.

The second is His Majesty the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom. He is talented and broad-minded. He can let the two princes sit on the throne, master the two field armies that Dayan can fight the most, and can issue an edict not to allow the rear to hold back the front line.

His majesty's situation, where he may, really doesn't care;

Even, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor Yan, a person who has no ambitions may also mean that he has no ability, and he doesn't bother to use it.

three,

It's because our rhythm has always been very good, just like Chu Ge, stepping on the beat with every step. At Xuehaiguan, we were not so conspicuous. Although you are an earl, master, you are still fledgling.

This time, Fengxin City was sealed as a Marquis, which actually stepped on that juncture. King Jingnan supported him, and his military achievements piled up. The interior of Dayan Kingdom was empty, and a strong man had to sit in Jindong to stabilize the situation.

This is how you came to the throne, Lord Hou, it is the general trend of all kinds of coincidences, so that you, Lord Hou, can start a mansion and build a tooth!

but,

Those who don't care don't care,

It doesn't mean that no one really can see the clues from what we do.

so,

With the help of this clue, he allowed us to enter Yingdu out of our own instincts and untie the prince's mansion. "

Zheng Fan thought it made sense, but felt that it was too smooth.

Only to say:

"Not necessarily..."

How about this.

"What Hou Ye said is that the real mastermind behind the scenes may not be Prince Cheng's Mansion itself, but Prince Cheng's Mansion probably participated in it."

"I mean, it doesn't have to be..."

"What Hou Ye said is that it is not necessarily Situ Yu. Although he has improved a bit, it is obviously not his turn to support the situation. The Situ family has been established for a hundred years, and it has also established a country. During the war to appease the Situ family, no drastic reforms have been carried out in Yingdu, so there must be a lot of old and young.

Jin rebels like He Chunlai, many of them planned to enter Yingdu in the future, and used the prince's mansion as a sign to call on the people of Jin to follow.

so,

The subordinates have been thinking about one thing,

The last time we were in Yingdu, the eldest son of Sun Youdao was doing something, but in fact, Sun Youdao had retired a long time ago. The old man's subordinates confirmed that he was really tired and didn't want to make trouble anymore. He just wanted to pass on the family. .

So,

The subordinates are very curious,

Those outsiders are all dreaming, dreaming that one day they will draw Prince Cheng out and use them,

What about the people who are inside?

they really,

Are you out of ideas?

No,

impossible,

They used to be the real superiors of Dacheng Kingdom, and they enjoyed the addiction brought by power;

How could they be willing to watch the officials from Yandi step on their heads year after year to show off their might?

The reason why they have been well-behaved is that they are cautious, and they have been waiting for an opportunity.

They know that if they do it themselves, it will be more effective, more useful, and more direct.

so,

They can't afford to lose.

But that doesn't mean they're all docile lambs.

The subordinate was a fan of the authorities before, and he was overconfident. Fortunately, Chen Daxia just called his subordinate. "

Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

When the Huatou proceeds here,

Chen Daxia of baked potatoes has been dumbfounded,

He couldn't even believe it,

All these sayings were inspired by his own words?

Own,

so smart?

On the side, He Chunlai also opened his mouth slightly. In the brochure, according to this idea, he has already delineated several names. The families behind these names have all put all their eggs in one basket to fight against the savages and rebels before Situ Lei died. At that time, those who had strongly supported Situ Lei could be said to be loyal.

Even the Juggernaut, who had fallen asleep a long time ago,

Open your eyes now,

He looked at Gou Moli,

He didn't think about whether it was Zheng Fan's "wisdom bead in his hands" long ago, but he was sure of one thing, and that was that Gou Moli had strung things up by himself.

The wisdom of the savage king.

so,

Why don't we just find a chance to kill him?

Zheng Fan smiled,

road:

"No evidence………"

Gou Moli immediately said loudly:

"Master Hou is wise, what Master Hou said is that I am acting in the Pingxi Hou Mansion, so I don't need evidence!!!"

"..." Zheng Fan.

at last,

Zheng Fan sighed,

didn't say anything,

just wave your hand,

road:

"Go on, I'm tired."

Lord Zheng Hou wants to be alone, quietly.

"Yes, don't worry, Lord Hou, this subordinate will go down and arrange the preparations."

Gou Moli withdrew, and He Chunlai also withdrew.

Where Chen Daxia sat and continued to peel the potatoes, the Juggernaut still leaned in the corner and dozed off again. They would not retreat, otherwise, Lord Zheng Hou would not be able to fall asleep.

………

After going out,

He Chunlai followed closely behind Gou Moli.

Before leaving, the blind man reminded him to follow Gou Moli to school.

An ordinary savage from a non-noble background on the snowy field spends half his life traveling all over the world, studying and thinking, and finally almost becomes a great career. This kind of person is no longer what a mere "hero" can describe.

"According to what you just said, I have already drawn some." He Chunlai said.

Gou Moli nodded.

He Chunlai hesitated to speak.

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't be hesitant, Lord Hou doesn't like people who are unhappy."

"I think that what you said just now seems to have passed a little..."

"What happened?" Gou Moli turned to look at He Chunlai.

"Since Lord Hou has already understood in advance and avoided the other party's intentions, your deduction just now gave people a sense of being too ostentatious.

Oh, I see, you were not talking to Lord Hou just now, but explaining to us, right? "

Gou Moli shook his head.

"no?"

"Of course not, to tell you the truth, I don't know how Hou Ye changed his mind in advance and fell into the other party's trap, but I feel that Hou Ye probably didn't know the whole picture of the matter.

Just now, it wasn't Hou Ye who opened his mouth to give me some advice, but I deliberately robbed me of it, pretending that Hou Ye knew everything and was giving me advice. "

"this………"

"You will also manage things in the future, and your subordinates will also manage people. Remember, when your subordinates start to use your name to say that they understand what you mean, and after receiving your advice, they will start to analyze it. , all the time;

It's not that you are far-sighted, not the kind: Oh, I thought so, but you said it.

In fact, it is your subordinates who are just taking care of your face, and by the way, make a higher-end flattery. As long as you are not stupid, you will know how such a coincidence can happen in this world, and how can it be so capable? A subordinate who understands your mind? "

"Here, you are fooling Hou..."

"What do you think of the Marquis as you? The Marquis is very clear in his heart."

"So, what are you doing this for?"

Gou Moli beckoned,

He Chunlai squatted a little bit,

Gou Moli imitated Lord Zheng's favorite method,

He patted He Chunlai on the shoulder,

Eloquently said:

"To do things, be a man first."
