Chapter 608 The Reason of Betrayal

"My lord, news has just come from Hanzhong that the Minghou's mansion is about to be completed recently. Hu Changshi and the others hope that your lord can return as soon as possible. Take this opportunity to establish the honor of Minghou and prestige the land of Hanzhong!" Huo Yu reported in a soft voice.

"So fast?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing was slightly surprised.

The scale of the construction of the Minghou mansion is not small, even if it is not as trivial and heavy as those of the palace city, it is far beyond the scale of ordinary mansions, and the internal structure is very complicated. It will not be completed until the end of the year.

I didn't expect these craftsmen to move so quickly.

"My lord, since there are pulleys and levers, the construction has become much smoother. Many boulders can be completed with these pulleys, ropes and levers, and now they are only completing the construction of the main palace. Some accompanying chambers, side halls, left and right chambers The courtyard, the front and rear barracks, the back garden, and the artificial lake are all still under construction, but the completion of the main mansion also needs to be inspected by the lord himself!"

Huo Yu said.

The so-called leverage was naturally invented by Mujing.

Manpower is too backward these days. In order to build houses and move some boulders, it often requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The so-called lever is the analysis of physics and mechanics, but in reality, with the addition of fixed The role of the pulley is to save effort, greatly saving effort.

"The matter in Nanyang is almost settled now, so you can arrange it. We will leave in a few days, and it is time to return to Hanzhong. Otherwise, the hearts of the people who have been suppressed with great difficulty may cause trouble again!"

Mu Jing stood up, raised his head, looked at the golden leaves falling under the big banyan tree, and said in a low voice.

He also thought that it is impossible for him to stay in Nanyang for a long time. Now the center of Minghou Mansion is in Hanzhong, and Hanzhong is the most important thing. The people in Hanzhong have not completely settled down, so he must show up as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it is not impossible for some ghosts and monsters to come out to make trouble.

"I'll make arrangements now!"

Huo Yu nodded.

Arrangements belonged to arrangements, Mu Jing still couldn't leave within a few days, Nanyang's military and political affairs were basically completed in sevens and eighties, but this time he came to the east, there were still some things he wanted to handle personally.

One night, Mu Jing met Zhao Xin, the commander of the right division of Jingwu Division, in a wing room of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty.

Xin Zhao held a file in his hand and handed it to Mu Jing one after another.

Mu Jing read one after another, looking very carefully and earnestly, and the content on it made his face constantly changing.

"Xin Zhao, are all the results of your investigation here?" After a while, Mu Jing read the last file, pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded: "This is what I found out during this period of time, and it cost us a lot of manpower and material resources!"

"Is it real?"

"I personally presided over the investigation of this matter, and the person who handled it is also the person I trust the most!" Xin Zhao thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Please rest assured, my lord, the news is absolutely correct and absolutely true!"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I can't believe it, Wuyin Zhu family, when you talk about it now, I almost forgot!"

Mu Jing looked at the dossier of Zhu Chou's origin, and smiled wryly: "But who would have thought that it was because of them that the boat almost capsized in the gutter. If Nanxiang was attacked by soldiers from Nanyang County in the battle of Nanxiang, I'm afraid my Mujing family would be destroyed. Already!"

The former envoys of Jingwu Division Nanyang Town, Zhu Chou and Zhu Chongyi, were actually people who had a blood feud with him. So, it is not surprising why he chose to betray Nanxiang and the Minghou Mansion. He was close to him, nothing more than Just for revenge.

Back then, when Mujing was still young, it was a very cold winter, there was no food left on Mushroom Mountain, they were shivering from cold, panicked from hunger, and finally chose to die and survive.

To seize Wuyin, it was Mu Shan who made the choice, but Mu Jing instigated it.

When they attacked Wuyin, they encountered a big problem. The wealthy families in the city were obstructing it, and they also needed someone to stand up to, and this object was the Wuyin Zhu family.

At the beginning, Wuyin Zhu's clan was almost massacred, but Mu Jing finally relented. He couldn't do anything to those young people, so he finally chose to let them go.

As the saying goes, if you cut the grass without removing the roots, it will regenerate when the spring breeze blows.

The hatred of destroying the family is not shared but hated.

Those young men who escaped the Zhu family back then could clearly record Mu Jing's face in the slaughter in their minds, and they couldn't erase it even if they wanted to. The river water is endless.

Among them was a young man named Zhu Zhen, the concubine of the head of the Zhu family, but because he didn't pay attention to him, he was allowed to escape, and he became the only head of the Zhu family.

This Zhu Zhen is not simple, although he is young, he has extraordinary means.

In just a few years, under his leadership, the Zhu family, whose family was ransacked and exterminated in Wuyin, gained a firm foothold as a merchant family in Wancheng. The clansmen, for their own use, strengthen the influence of the Zhu family.

Of course, he can't forget the culprit who led a group of young demons into their family that night without any scruples.

The Mu family has become famous all over the world in recent years.

But he is secretly planning.

Zhu Chou is Zhu Zhen's uncle. He escaped a catastrophe because of his study abroad. Under Zhu Zhen's instigation, he first entered Jingping Trading Company as a merchant, and then entered Jingwu Division through the springboard of Jingping Trading Company. He became Tan Zong's confidant and took charge of Nanyang's news network.

In the past World War I, the main force of the Mu army was still in Hanzhong, and there were only a few soldiers left in Nanxiang. Zhu Zhen thought it was a good opportunity to jump up and down and bring Nanyang soldiers into Nanxiang. The Mu family can be destroyed to avenge great revenge.

"How old is Zhu Zhen?" Mu Jing suddenly asked.

He remembered that although he released many members of the Zhu family back then, they were all young boys, basically under ten years old, and most of them were seven or eight years old. Zhu Zhen shouldn't be very big.

"This year's party is fifteen!"

"A 15-year-old boy plotted against us and almost made us lose Nanxiang and the entire Nanyang base?" Mu Jing laughed at himself: "Is he too powerful, or we are too incompetent! "

"My lord, the root cause of this is that I am open and the enemy is in the dark, so it is easier for them to plot against us!"

Xin Zhao replied.

"There are reasons for this, but the tree attracts the wind. Since we set up a flag and fly in the wind, it is inevitable that we will be counted against. It is our failure to be vigilant, which is our dereliction of duty!" He said: "Xin Zhao, you should be more vigilant in the future. Zuo Si provided me with the eyes and ears to see the world, but what I see is real or fake, I still need to be judged by You Si."

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded respectfully.

"How is the situation of the Zhu family now?" Mu Jing asked again.

"Zhu Zhen still lives in seclusion behind the scenes, but he is a good businessman. He was also a member of Jingping Trading Company in the past. He has made several transactions by relying on the name of Jingping Trading Company. In the Wancheng business circle, the industry is not the most, but he has connections. Absolutely the widest!"

Zhao Xin replied: "As for Zhu Chou, he made contributions at the beginning, but because of the defeat of Nanyang County soldiers, his achievements cannot be shown, but it is undeniable that Lei Bo attached great importance to him and handed over the entire scout battalion under his command. He is in command!"

"There is a deep hatred between the Zhu family and me. Since this is the case, I'm afraid we can't keep it. If we continue to keep it, if something bad happens, even Zhu Chou is quite difficult to deal with, and there is Zhu Zhen, the head of the Zhu family, hey!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, sighed, and said in a low mood: "Zhu Chou is a traitor of Jingwu Division, is there any way for Jingwu Division to enforce the family law?"

If he regretted that he shouldn't have let those people live, he wouldn't.

but……

His mood was a little indescribably depressed, it was a weird feeling of reaping the fruits of suffering, because of his benevolence, he almost lost Nanxiang, Nanyang, his wife, and his subordinates.

"Disaster!"

Hearing this, Xin Zhao shook his head slightly, and said, "We tried, but it didn't work even once!"

"Are they so difficult?"

"My lord, Zhu Chou is in charge of the affairs of our Nanyang Town. He is familiar with all matters big and small. Whether it is our channels or our spies, he can recognize him. He is too familiar with our ways, and he has always lived in seclusion. We can't find a chance to do it, and the Zhu family, the head of the Zhu family is a bit cunning, suspicious and elusive by nature, and it is difficult to assassinate this person."

"Since that's the case, then we'll kill him openly!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said: "Zhu Chou is a surrendered general, Lei Bo must be afraid of him, because Lei Bo can't trust a person who once chose to betray, so we can try to provoke, people can't stand provocation, you go try it out , Lei Bo has trusted him so far, if there is a chance, why not give them a countermeasure, borrow a knife to kill them, and use Lei Bo's knife to kill them openly!"

"My lord is right, I will try my best to do this!"

When Xin Zhao heard this, he jumped up and down.

Whether this thing can be done or not depends on the trust and tacit understanding between Lei Bo and Zhu Chou. They still have a chance to break up this combination. If they can provoke these two people, it will be much easier to go to Nanyang in the future.
