Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 162 Do you think I would joke about something like this?

Runan Mansion.

Fucheng.

In an inconspicuous villa, on the surface it looks just like other villas around it, with nothing special about it.

But the security inside the courtyard is tight.

In the hall of the other courtyard, two figures sat opposite each other.

One of the figures is a middle-aged scribe, and the other figure is a feminine person.

These two people were none other than Jia Xu, who was ordered to leave Luoyang, and Cao Zhengchun, who had previously led the order to kill the Fan family in Jiexiu.

Jia Xu picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of tea, then looked at Cao Zhengchun: "Director Cao, what's the matter?"

"Have the situation in the Yuan family been fully investigated?"

Jia Xu asked.

Cao Zhengchun nodded; "Mr. Jia's guess is good. Most of the masters of the Yuan family are no longer in the Yuan family, and the Yuan family is now empty."

"If nothing else happens, these masters from the Yuan family have already gone to Luoyang."

"Moreover, the younger generation of the Yuan family has also been reduced a lot. It should be that the Yuan family made preparations in advance and secretly sent away some of the younger generation of the Yuan family."

Cao Zhengchun's face looked a little ugly.

Dongchang has always sent people to monitor the Yuan family, but the factory guards did not monitor these situations in the Yuan family.

This made Cao Zhengchun, the chief governor of Dongchang, feel ashamed.

If Cao Zhengchun had not received the order from Jia Xu and rushed to Runan, and Cao Zhengchun personally investigated the Yuan family, I am afraid that Dongchang would still not know about the situation in the Yuan family.

"It's something that is expected. These wealthy families never make all-or-nothing decisions when doing things. They will make extra preparations in advance just in case."

"If my prediction is correct, those younger generations of the Yuan family who were secretly sent away should have gone south."

Regarding the situation within the Yuan family, Jia Xu was not surprised at all.

These were all within Jia Xu's expectations.

Jia Xu put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.

To the south?

Cao Zhengchun frowned and his eyes flashed.

"Here comes someone."

Cao Zhengchun shouted immediately.

"Manufacturer."

A factory guard walked in and said with a cup of his hands.

"Immediately send people to search south. The Za family must not allow the Yuan family to escape."

Cao Zhengchun said sternly.

"As commanded."

The factory guard bowed to accept the order and exited the hall.

After the factory guards left, Jia Xu glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Director Cao, just follow the plan. General Lu has already led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to Shu."

"I am also leaving for Shu."

With that said, Jia Xu had already stood up.

Jia Xu has received Zhou Chen's decree.

The land of Shu is the fiefdom of the King of Shu, Zhou Zhi. Since the King of Shu has this intention, he must have a lot of power in the land of Shu.

Therefore, as soon as Jia Xu received Zhou Chen's order, he sent a message to Lu Bu and asked Lu Bu to take the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to Shu.

In Jia Xu's opinion, things in Shu are more difficult to deal with than things here.

After all, it was the fiefdom of the King of Shu, and this involved the royal family.

Jia Xu had to go there in person.

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Zhengchun also stood up; "Mr. Jia, don't worry, there are Zajia here, as well as General Zhang and Vice General Wei, so nothing will happen."

"Mr. Jia can just handle the affairs of Shu directly, don't worry about this."

Cao Zhengchun said softly.

Most of the experts from the Yuan family have gone to Luoyang, and the Zheng family probably has too.

Under such circumstances, it would be outrageous if anything could go wrong.

Jia Xu nodded and left directly.

…

The capital of gods, Luoyang.

Prince Shu's Mansion.

Zhou Zhi sat in the main seat.

Standing below is Sande, the steward of the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister just sent this secretly."

Sande took out a piece of paper and sent it to Zhou Zhi.

"oh!"

Zhou Zhi was shocked and immediately took the note from San De's hand, opened it and glanced at it.

There were only four words on the note.

'Everything is ready.'

Seeing these four words, Zhou Zhi's eyes sparkled.

Of course Zhou Zhi understood the meaning of these four words.

That is, the manpower of the three major families has arrived in Luoyang.

Moreover, their forces in Luoyang have been arranged, and they are waiting for Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi closed the note, pondered for a moment, and looked at San De; "Sande, have we arranged all our forces in Luoyang?"

Sande nodded; "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

"Inside the palace!"

Zhou Zhi asked again.

"The palace has also been decorated."

Sandoku said.

When Zhou Zhi heard this, he didn't say anything more, but murmured to himself, "Then only Ji Wusheng will be left."

"According to what we had discussed with Ji Wusheng before, he should be arriving soon!"

Zhou Zhi's eyes wandered.

San De quietly retreated, leaving only Zhou Zhi who was a little distracted.

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair and looked at the hazy sky outside the hall in silence.

"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building!"

Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.

Regarding Shu King Zhou Zhi, Zhou Chen has been thinking about how to deal with it.

That's right, it's disposal.

King Zhou of Shu's rule has not yet begun, but Zhou Chen is already thinking about how to deal with him afterwards.

I have to say that if King Zhou Zhi of Shu knew about this, he would definitely be furious.

Before his Zhou Zhi even started, Zhou Chen was certain that his Zhou Zhi would fail.

This is contempt.

Chiguoguo's contempt.

"Your Majesty, Governor Cao Shaoqin wishes to see you."

At this time, a chamberlain and factory guard came in to report.

"Let him in."

Zhou Chen retracted his gaze and said.

The house guard and factory guard retreated in response.

After a while, Cao Shaoqin walked into the Yangxin Hall.

"Your Majesty, this is the news sent back from Runan by the Great Governor."

After Cao Shaoqin walked into the Yangxin Hall, he sent a piece of news directly to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything more, took the message from Cao Shaoqin's hand and read it directly.

When Zhou Chen read the news sent back by Cao Zhengchun, he smiled coldly: "These wealthy families are indeed cunning rabbits. They have done their best to be prepared just in case."

"They actually sent some young disciples away secretly and quietly in advance."

"This is because if it fails, the whole clan will not be wiped out, and some blood inheritance can be preserved!"

Zhou Chen sneered.

The news sent back by Cao Zhengchun was that most of the masters of the Yuan family had gone to Luoyang, and the Yuan family had secretly sent away some of their younger disciples.

Zhou Chen already knew about the former.

As for the latter, Zhou Chen didn't care.

These wealthy families secretly send their younger generation away. Where can they send them?

Outside the customs?

After the internal affairs of the imperial court were resolved, the area outside the pass was also conquered by Zhou Chen.

When the time comes, these people will still suffer the same fate.

Besides, Cao Zhengchun has already sent people to intercept him. Whether he can escape outside the customs is still questionable.

Zhou Chen put down the news from Cao Zhengchun and looked at Cao Shaoqin: "Is there any other news?"

"Is there any movement at the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Zhou Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, the men from the Zheng family and the Fan family have also arrived in Luoyang."

"However, Dongchang has not found out exactly where they are hiding."

"The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are very careful. I was afraid of disturbing others, so I didn't dare to stare at them too much."

Cao Shaoqin said.

"oh!"

"Have all the personnel from the Zheng family and the Fan family arrived?"

When Zhou Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

The personnel of the three major aristocratic families have secretly arrived in Luoyang, so it seems that the time for them to take action is not far away.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment and said to Cao Shaoqin: "Immediately send Liu Ye, Du Ruhui, Minister of War, Wei Wuhou, and the Eight Wise Kings to come to the palace to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaoqin turned and left.

"Haha, the Yuan family, the Zheng family, you have all gotten into the network of Luoyang, don't even think about getting out again."

After Cao Shaoqin left, Zhou Chen sneered with twinkling eyes.

…

Half an hour later.

Five people, Liu Ye, Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Wuhou, and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian, entered the Hall of Cultivation of Heart one after another.

Watching Zhou Chen summon the five of them into the palace at once.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War, who didn't know what was going on, frowned, guessing in his mind that what happened was that the emperor Zhou Chen summoned the five of them into the palace at the same time.

You know, since the last incident involving General Wu Jin.

The emperor Zhou Chen had never recruited these important officials into the palace like this.

Regarding this issue, Wei Wuhou and the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian also had the same speculation in their minds.

Could it be that something big happened again?

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne, glanced at Liu Ye and the five of them standing below, and said, "I called you here today because I have a very important matter to discuss with you."

"This matter concerns me and the Queen Mother."

"I'm really not sure about paying attention, and I want to hear your opinions."

Zhou Chen looked at Liu Ye and the other five and said.

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, the Minister of War and the others were stunned.

About the emperor?

About the Queen Mother?

What is this?

The faces of the Minister of War and the others became serious.

You know, everything that concerns the emperor and the queen mother is not a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, what is this matter, and does it concern Your Majesty and the Queen Mother?"

The Minister of War couldn't help but asked.

The Eight Sage King Zhou Xian and Wei Wuhou also looked puzzled.

What on earth could concern the emperor and the queen mother?

Only Liu Ye and Du Ruhui had silent expressions and knew it well.

Zhou Chen glanced at the Minister of War, then at the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian and Wei Wuhou, and said calmly: "The King of Shu took a fancy to the chair I was sitting on, and secretly conspired with the Prime Minister and the others to replace me.

This emperor."

"What do you think we should do about this matter?"

As soon as these words came out.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became so quiet that one could hear needles dropping.

The expressions of the Minister of War, the Marquis of Weiwu, and the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian suddenly changed drastically.

Is the King of Shu planning to rebel?

How can this be?

The Minister of War and the others really couldn't believe that this was true.

They also didn't expect that what the Emperor Zhou Chen summoned them to talk about today would be such a shocking event.

This is not only about the emperor Zhou Chen and the Queen Mother, but also about the entire Zhou Dynasty court.

"Your Majesty, is there any conclusive evidence for this matter?"

"This matter is no small matter!"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian immediately said with a solemn expression.

King Zhou Zhi of Shu was different from ordinary people. He was the ninth younger brother of the emperor Zhou Chen and the most beloved son of the empress dowager of Cining Palace.

If there is any mistake in this, it will lead to considerable consequences.

What's more, this also involves important court officials like Prime Minister Yuan Bo.

It can be said to be quite involved.

The faces of the Minister of War and the Marquis of Weiwu were also extremely solemn, and their hearts had lost their former composure.

They know the impact this has.

If this matter were true, it would be really difficult to deal with.

Because there was also a Queen Mother of Cining Palace in the middle of this matter.

Zhou Chen glanced at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian lightly: "Do you think I would joke about this kind of thing?"

"There are some things that I have been suppressing and haven't shown you."

"I have always hoped that it would end here and not end up like this."

"It's a pity that there are some things that I can't control."

"You all take a look!"

Zhou Chen gestured to Cao Shaoqin, who was standing next to him.

Cao Shaoqin immediately sent a memorial from Dongchang to the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian.

This memorial is the result of Cao Zhengchun's previous investigation into the matters in the palace. It records all the details of those matters in the palace.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian took the Dongchang Facts from Cao Shaoqin and opened it to read.

When he saw the contents inside, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian's pupils shrank and he took a step back.

"this……."

Zhou Xian, the Eighth Sage King, almost let go of his grip and dropped the memorial in his hand to the ground.

The two people nearby, Wei Wuhou and the Minister of War, saw the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian's gaffe and immediately realized that the contents of this memorial were probably not trivial.

The two of them also took this memorial from the hand of the Eight Sages, Zhou Xian, and took turns reading the contents.

Sure enough, it was just as they thought.

The content inside made the Minister of War, Wei Wuhou and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian lose their composure.

Zhou Chen glanced at the three people who were losing their composure and said calmly, "Have you all read the contents?"

"I really didn't expect that besides the fourth child, the ninth child also wanted me to die."

Zhou Chen's tone was calm.

But hearing it from the ears of the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian and the others made them feel a little frightened.

Is this the calm before the storm?

"Your Majesty, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the Queen Mother."

"I can guarantee that the Queen Mother will never do this."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian knelt down and said firmly.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Xian, the eight wise king who was kneeling down, expressionlessly; "I know."

"She is my mother-in-law, how could she harm me?"

"You get up first!"

"There is some news, let's take a look at it together!"

Zhou Chen said and glanced at Cao Shaoqin again.

Cao Shaoqin once again took a news report that Dongchang had already compiled and sent it to the Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian and others.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian stood up, and after reading the message sent by Cao Shaoqin, he sighed quietly in his heart.

"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu."

"You still followed in the footsteps of Xiao Si and Jun Xian."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian's expression was serious and heavy at the same time.

The Minister of War and the Marquis of Weiwu also read the news one after another, which made them feel a little relieved after they were worried about it.

As long as it's not the one from Cining Palace, that's fine.

Otherwise, this would be really tricky.
