Chapter 189
"Does the corpse need to be disposed of?" Hu Wei asked before leaving.
Hu Gui said, "No need."
"Why did my lord want to kill this man? I think he is also a soft-footed shrimp, not necessarily more difficult to deal with than that Shan Jian." Hu Wei said.
Hu Gui glanced at him; "If you don't understand, the position of leader Heming should be given up as soon as possible."
Hu Wei chuckled.
It's not that he can't figure it out, it's just that he habitually wants to use Hu Gui's words.
There is no way, this is probably the occupational disease that the lord mentioned.
In fact, it's very simple. Killing Cheng Mu is nothing more than adding goods to Shanjian, disrupting the situation in Qingzhou, and buying more time for the lord to develop.
"No wonder Sister Yuan Xi always calls you that bear, you really don't understand the style." Hu Wei didn't wait for Hu Gui's reaction, he rode his horse and galloped forward, not wanting Hu Gui to get angry and beat him like a sandbag.
There is no way, although the Hugui people are a bit more straightforward, Wu Ge is the most outstanding, but I am a Jie person, but I can't compare with the Xianbei people of mixed blood. It is very embarrassing to say it.
They brought out nearly 300 people this time, which is one-third of Guobao's trilogy, and all of them are powerful people. These [-] people can be regarded as the group that Hugui has trained for the longest time.
However, there are few bandits in Gaomi County. Although the trilogy is often pulled out to suppress bandits and earn some money and food by seeing blood, after all, they have never really fought against well-trained soldiers. Seven people were lost, and more than [-] people were injured, which made Hu Wei feel a little embarrassed.
Reorganize the team, don't want any loot, Hu Gui directly led the team to leave, leaving only a lot of blood and corpses, which clearly showed that there was an ambush here.
After a long time, three fast horses passed by. Although the leader of the horses was not luxuriously dressed, he did not look like ordinary rich children.Then the two horses seemed to be carrying two servants.
In today's troubled times, who dares to walk outside with two servants, this leader is not bad at courage and ability.
"Lang Jun, look ahead!" One of the servants seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and just when he escaped, he saw a pile of corpses as soon as he stepped out of the canyon mountain road, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The visitor's name is Wang Mi, the grandson of Runan prefect Wang Qi, although they have the same surname as Wang, but their ancestral home is in Donglai, and they have nothing to do with the Langya Wang family, let alone a wealthy family.
Wang Mi's family originally lived in Luoyang. He was young and talented. Although his family background was not obvious in Luoyang, he was a famous ranger. His generous personality made him a prince in Luoyang. I don't have any other hobbies on weekdays, but I like to read all kinds of books.
However, because of his background, he was unable to find a way to fill an official position until the chaos in Luoyang, but he didn't like any of the princes and grandsons of the Sima family, so he simply planned to spend all his wealth and return to his ancestral land.
Liu Bogen, magistrate of Donglai County in the ancestral land, is his best friend. He also has an ambition to calm the troubled times in his heart, but his family understands his own family affairs, and he himself is good at fighting, but he is not a qualified king. Talent is quite good, governing Anping, has great potential.
Therefore, whoever is cheap is not cheap, he plans to go back to his ancestral home to fool Liu Bogen.
It was inappropriate to come back alone, the road was too unsafe, just as the imperial court re-sealed the governor of Qingzhou, and Cheng Mu took up his post, he took his family and fell far behind, which was regarded as a convoy.
Unexpectedly, they were almost at Beihai County, Qingzhou, but found that Cheng Mu in front had been intercepted and killed.
"Lang Jun, Lang Jun, let's report to the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible, I'm so scared." My family was young and had never seen such a bloody scene on weekdays, so they panicked immediately.
However, Wang Mi got off his horse and observed carefully all the way; "It was done by a team of cavalry, the number of which is between 250 and 300. Seeing that there are not many traces of the corpses moving here, it means that the dead are all from Cheng Mu's trilogy. , and the cavalry did not actually die much."
Seeing this, Wang Mi couldn't help but marvel in his heart: "I didn't expect that apart from Bingzhou cavalry and those barbarians, Qingzhou also has such a powerful cavalry."
"Lang Jun." The family boy was about to cry, "Let's get to Qingzhou City as soon as possible."
Wang Mi ignored it, found Cheng Mu's carriage, and found Cheng Mu's head separated and lying in front of the carriage, with a blank expression on his face, without fear or pain.
Not only does Wang Mi seem to be studying, but his martial arts are also very good. When he saw the wound on his severed head, his eyes shrank suddenly: "He is a master."
He climbed into the carriage and found a word 'mountain' written in blood on the carriage wall.
He sneered: "This Cheng Mu is really stupid, he didn't know who killed him even after he died, but he suspected Shan Jian, but he didn't know that Shan Jian was the purest child of an aristocratic family and didn't understand anything.
But, who was so straightforward, killed Cheng Mu, and blamed Shan Jian?
Could it be that someone close to Shan Jian is very interested in the position of Qingzhou Mu?
Wang Mi thought for a while, then shook his head, those people were not strong enough, even if they killed Cheng Mu, it would only muddy the water in the pool.
Re-riding the horse, Wang Mi took the two servants away from the red land.When the house boy could no longer smell the blood, he finally came back and started chattering: "Mr. Lang, you saw it for a long time, but you caught the murderer?"
"No." Wang Mi replied casually: "You are a god when you are your master."
The house boy was a little disappointed. In his eyes, there was nothing his master couldn't do.
Dispelling the boy's curiosity, Wang Mi asked another servant, "Ah Liang, what do you think?"
A Liang and Wang Mi grew up together, they studied together and practiced martial arts together, they were not regarded as servants, but were raised as retainers, compared to the servants who only do trivial things, A Liang is naturally more favored by Wang Mi.
"The villain has just searched. Cheng Mu's horses, gold and silver on his body, and the money, silk and jewelry he carried have not been touched at all, and the thief has not left anything behind. It should not be for robbery." A Liang said.
Wang Mi rolled his eyes: "Nonsense."
A Liang said: "The wounds on those parts are different, and the thieves' weapons are probably not uniform."
"Well, that's an important point." Wang Mi said, "It's true that Qingzhou's government soldiers have various types of troops, but those bandits seem to be cavalry at first glance. Logically speaking, they should use horse halberds."
"So it's not the government soldiers, but the miscellaneous army." A Liang asserted.
"Ha, it seems that this time the Shanjian really caught fire in the backyard." Wang Mi said indifferently.
"Mr. Lang, why don't you take advantage of this and get a job next to the governor of Qingzhou." A Liang suggested.
"Don't do it, Shan Jian is a guy with his eyes above his head. I can't bear my idle and violent temper, and he will know about Cheng Mu's death sooner or later. It's not a big credit for me to report a letter. It's used as a nomination certificate. I'm afraid it won't work." Wang Mi said: "So let's follow the old plan, go home and seek refuge with my good friend Liu Bergen, and I will have a bite to eat."
Gaomi Guo Mansion.
Although Guo's mansion was built from scratch, after more than two years of construction, it is no longer the shabby appearance of the day.
When You Hongyin chose the site, he took into account factors such as defense, geographical location, transportation, land size, etc. He said that he was building a fort, but in fact it was no less than building a small city.
Guard towers were erected at intervals around Guobao, and the reclaimed and fertile land was surrounded by high walls.
The entire Guobao is divided into an inner fort and an outer fort. There are two layers of walls, dozens of sentry towers, and a large number of farmlands are included in the defense range of the sentry towers. The farmland is neatly divided by ditches, which looks neat and rich. .
In the center of the inner castle is You Hongyin's Guo Mansion. The area is not large, but the building is a very novel two-story building, and there are rows of houses built around the Guo Mansion, like a palace guarding the moon. The stars are average.
In addition to these buildings, the southeast corner of the inner castle is a large concrete school field, which is specially used for training trilogy, and there are many novel training equipment displayed around it.
You Hongyin rode straight into the small building, which was said to be his residence, but in fact this was his first visit to Guo's mansion.
No way, he never planned to live here. The most important role of Guobao is actually to train the trilogy and act as the operation center of the various workshops under his name.
The main reason why he came over suddenly this time was because one of his apprentices had returned.
Shen Yuan is one of the disciples he recruited.This disciple Yu Wu's talent is mediocre, and he is also sloppy in scriptures, but he is good at painting.
So You Hongyin cultivated his drawing ability.
Of course it's not just painting, but also 'mapping'.
In fact, Shen Yuan was the first person to reach Qingzhou among all the people, and he has been wandering outside all these years, drawing maps with another disciple Yu Chaozong. Of course, he and Chaozhong are not drawing maps, but building Another organization with a different function from Heming was formed, Hongyan.
If it is said that Heming specializes in investigating the affairs of the Gaomen court, then Hongyan collects civil wars from all over the world, and many people in the Hongyan organization also serve as traveling merchants.
Of course, the two organizations are just in their infancy at present, and he can't support many people as a Gaomi county guard, but as his power and territory grow, I believe the role of these two organizations will be greater in the future.
Shen Yuan came back and brought back detailed maps of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yizhou.
The map is now considered a strategic weapon, and You Hongyin will naturally not take out all of it for the time being. Although the prefect's mansion is already impenetrable, he will not test the price of betrayal.
That's why he specially came to Guo Mansion to meet with Shen Yuan and Yu Chaozong.
Before he got up and went back to the prefect's mansion, Hu Gui and Hu Wei also came back with some errands.
So far, only one of the disciples he cultivated in his early years is still out.
"Although your senior brothers have never returned from abroad, it is rare for the five of you to get together. On Yuanxi, prepare a banquet. Today I will accompany you to have a good drink."
You Hongyin was actually very happy. Although the apprentices in this life did not teach for a long time, they all became talented in their own right, and they had a good relationship with him.
Thinking back to Lin Huai's unfilial son, his heart felt stuck. It was not because of his own education level, but because Lin Huai was spoiled by his uncles.
"Now that you have some foundation, what do you plan to do next?" Chen Xiquan asked enthusiastically.
