Chapter 88: Behind the scenes

Yuwen Chengchao sneered and said, "The horses on the horse farm are greasy. You are not unclear. From the day of the establishment of the horse farm, there are two horse books. This yin and yang horse book is true and false. To cope with the Dufu Palace and the court, only the real horse book can figure out the number of horses on the horse farm. It's just... Even me, I haven't seen the real horse book until now."
Ning Zhifeng nodded and said: "The eldest son said well, the old Hou Ye handed over the horse farm to Uncle Meng, and the real horse was in the hands of Uncle Meng. In addition to the annual 400 horses to the court, the horse farm Foals are also sold privately, and every year the Guan Nei horse dealers have to take away at least hundreds of horses from the horse farm. Newborn calves or horses that die from illness or even run out of the horse farm, these accounts are not responsible for the horse farm. Outsiders cannot make it clear."
"Many things have been thrown by Uncle Meng and other people to do many things over the years. The number of horse farms is based on the horse book submitted by Uncle Meng." Zhao Yi whispered: "Say something that should not be said , Uncle Meng's Ma Xiu presented to the old Hou Ye is true or false, it is not sure."
A few of the people in this room looked dignified.
Qin Xiao thought that Yu Wencheng had suffered such a big loss this time. With his temperament, of course, it was impossible to give up on it.
The Tusun people rode the Xiling horse, and everyone knew that there was a strange thing behind it. Of course Yuwen Chengchao would not endure this tone, and he would certainly find a way to find out the real murderer behind the scenes, grab the evidence in hand, and then make trouble later. .
He is now depressed, apart from damaging several brothers under his hands, and also because he knows that someone is going to start against himself, but he has no evidence in his hands to retaliate.
"Oh, Grand Master, what can the Tusun people who have captured him tell me?" The fat fish suddenly asked.
Yu Wencheng said: "I interrogated him with Master. According to what he said, I only followed the orders." After a pause, I continued: "The gang of people bypassed the territory of Wutu from the Moxi grassland, and then from outside Kunlun. Guan Hua came to Xiling at zero."
"It turned out to be from the west." Fatty fish nodded slightly.
The Moxi grassland borders on the territory of the Wutu people, and there will be conflicts between the two sides, but no war has occurred. Both the Wutu people and the Tusun people feel that the other party's materials are barren and not worth the desperation. Only the Tang Empire and Xiling With abundant products, that's where it's worth the effort to plunder.
"They are small tribes in the grasslands of Moxi. This tribe was already annexed during the tribal battle last year." Yu Wencheng said: "The group escaped and have been wandering in the grasslands of Moxi, and were later chased and killed. They hid in the territory of the Wutu people. They had no food and clothing, and could only plunder to survive in the territory of the Wutu people, but they were also chased and killed by the Wutu people."
Dapeng suddenly said: "I heard that Tusun Dulhu has risen in recent years, and a new patriarch was elected a few years ago. This man is fierce like a wolf but cunning like a fox. In just a few years, he annexed in the Monan grassland. There have been many tribes. There are also rumors that this new patriarch is the son of the Tusun people, who want to unify the tribes of Tusun."
"The son of a shit," Zhao Yi sneered. "It's just a group of barbarians. At that time, the 200,000 army went south, and finally it was not a bird and a beast, a group of people. It's just a group of people who can't beat Datang, they can only kill themselves. people."
Yu Wencheng said: "You don't have to care about them either. This group of Tusun people looted in the territory of the Wu Tuo people, and naturally they couldn't please them. They have been chased and killed by the Wu Tuo people. Their leaders suddenly got a sum of money, and then This group of people entered the Kunlun Pass in batches, and then gathered at the appointed place. The captive told them that the leader told them that they had entered the customs because they were employed by people and would take my life. Then they could have more money. Take it. But except for the leader, no one knows who the target was."
"Employed?" Ning Zhifeng said with a sneer: "It is natural to be able to hire a group of Tusun people to sell their lives."
"They have been lurking more than a month ago, and some people provided them with horses and weapons." Yu Wencheng Chao was very calm at this time, slowly said: "Just yesterday, someone told them where the leader killed. And time, so last night they went straight to us to kill." Sneered: "But after going up the mountain, their leader was quickly shot by me. Without the leader, there was no sand, but I thought about completing the task and getting money. This has to catch up."
"Yinzi didn't get it, and his life was gone." Zhao Yi sneered: "Master, did the captive confess who hired them?"
Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "He really is just a little guy, he doesn't know much."
"The eldest son's identity is extraordinary." Dapeng said: "And the eldest son is good for the people and treats the people well, treats the people kindly, there are not many enemies, and no one spends so much energy trying to take the life of the eldest son."
"Dapeng said very well." Fatty Fish agreed: "On the ground of Xiling, there are not too many people who want to harm Grand Prince, and even those who dare to shoot are rare."
Ning Zhifeng said: "I'm just a strange thing."
"what?"
"There are also a few gangsters in the three counties of Xiling." Ning Zhifeng said: "Although several gangsters were annihilated at the beginning, there are still dozens of bandits who have shrunk, and they have a chance to breathe in recent years. Many of them have regained their vitality. At the beginning, we joined forces with the government to suppress the grandfathers, so that the grandchildren did not dare to show their heads. They naturally hated us."
"Crazy, what the do you want to say?" Zhao Yi urged: "Speak faster, let's say Tusun, what are you doing with the bandits? Don't talk about it."
The fat fish glanced at Zhao Yi and said, "I don't have a good brain, so just stop talking and listen to others."
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes, but said nothing.
"If you want to assassinate the eldest son, wouldn't it be more convenient to find those pirates?" Ning Zhifeng deliberately slowed down: "That group of people hated the Yuwen family, even if they don't give money, there are If they have a chance to kill the eldest son, they may also shoot. If they hire a lot of money, the dogs will definitely agree. Xiling thieves’ equestrians are mostly good, and they hide in the mountains all year round. If they are really shot, they are more than the Tusuns. grasp."
"The madman made sense." The fat fish nodded. "Employing the Tusun people takes much more energy. It is necessary to find this group of people from Wutu. When they come to Xiling, they have to find ways to help them hide their tracks. It is not discovered that if pirates are directly employed, it is not only more convenient, but also more graspable."
Yu Wencheng Chao smiled faintly: "There is only one reason."
"The eldest son said that if a pirate is hired, it is easier to find out who is the real murderer behind the scenes?" Dapeng asked.
Yu Wencheng said: "The Xiling pirates are much more cunning than the Tusuns, and they know the situation of Xiling better. Although the pirates are bold, but they will come to me, they will still consider the consequences. At least they must figure out, in the end Who hired them."
Everyone nodded slightly. "Once the assassination fails, the pirates may not keep their mouths shut." Yu Wencheng said with a sneer: "And those pirates have never been faithful, even if they are successful, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not be threatened in the future and continue to blackmail." The bowl was filled with water, and then the wine bowl was put down: "In comparison, the Tusun people are much more reputable. They take money to do things, and the captives do not know who the target is, which proves that their leader is really very particular. In other words, the leader didn’t even care who hired them, only how much money he could get."
Zhao Yi clenched his fists: "So the black hands behind the scenes are worried that we will find evidence to find out who he really is, so we will try our best to hire the Tusun people to start."
"If those horses are from our horse farm...!" Dapeng said half of it, but did not continue to talk about the rest.
Everyone in the room was slightly discolored, but Yuwen Chengchao seemed quite calm.
Qin Xiao did not intervene from beginning to end, but as several people said, he heard clearly.
Undoubtedly, Dapeng did not finish his speech, naturally because of scruples.
He already knew that the direct reason for Yuwen Chengchao’s exclusion in Hou House was because Mrs. Qiong and Young Master Yuwen were favored, and Uncle Meng was probably a sibling with Mrs. Qiong, otherwise it would not be called Uncle, Even if they guessed wrong, the two have no sibling relationship, but from the master's words, it can be judged that Uncle Meng and Mrs. Qiong are on the same front.
The fight between the brothers of Yuwen is just like the purpose of the open fight between all the big family members, but it is nothing more than to obtain the inheritance and control of the family.
Although Yuwen Chengchao has fallen into the disadvantage in this battle, he is the eldest son after all, according to the clan custom, it is common sense that Yuwen Chengchao has the qualification to inherit, and for this reason, even if Mrs. Qiong's faction has the upper hand, she does not Dare to take it lightly, there must be a hostility towards Yuwen Chengchao.
The most important thing is that the Yuwencheng dynasty moved out of the Hou Mansion, which shows that the previous battles between the two sides were really fierce, and there was no brotherhood between each other. Only the other party was regarded as an enemy.
No matter who ultimately inherits the knighthood, then another person is bound to be even more miserable.
That is to say, if there is a change in the future, the title will be inherited by Yuwen Chengchao, Mrs. Qiong and the young son will certainly not have a good life.
Uncle Meng is in charge of the horse farm, and it is also Mrs. Qiong's faction. If the Tusuns' horses were transferred from Yuwen's horse race, then behind this attack, it is likely that they will not be able to get rid of Mrs. Qiong's faction.
Qin Xiao believes that these people, including Yuwen Chengchao, must have doubted Mrs. Qiong and the young son in their hearts, but after all, there is no evidence in hand, this matter is of great importance, and there is no real evidence. That can not be easily said.
The room was silent, and suddenly the door was knocked, and everyone looked at it.
Just now, Ning Zhifeng closed the door for the convenience of speaking inside. According to the principle, no one should dare to come and disturb. Hearing that the door was knocked continuously, Ning Zhifeng got up and opened the door. One person already pushed Ning Zhifeng, Straight in, carrying a silver jug ​​in his hand, sweeping around, seeing Yuwen Chengchao, raising his finger to Grandpa, smiling with drunkenness: "Princess, you really came, you may have better The days haven't come. I just heard them saying that you are here today. I thought they were laughing and came over and looked at them."
