Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1064: Assassin Luoyang and spread the news to Pingzhou

Zhou Ao was Chen Zhi's old subordinate. He followed Chen Zhi when he was in Luoyang. During this period, Chen Zhi changed yamen, and this subordinate was the only one who followed him closely.

A few years have passed, and Zhou Ao is no longer the unlucky little official he was. He is now the captain of Daijun. Because he is trusted by Chen Zhi, everyone in Daijun and even in Youzhou treats him politely. He is polite, has strong connections, and is considered to be the number one person.

Daijun was the place where Chen Zhi started, and there were many workshops and people there. He needed trustworthy people to take charge, and that's how Zhou Ao came to be the captain.

Of course, this is due to his limited ability and talent, otherwise he would have been promoted and promoted long ago.

But on the other hand, Zhou Ao knew that he was good at what he did, he was neither impatient nor impatient, he was content with poverty, and he was very happy with things, which was quite appreciated by Chen Zhi.

However, no matter what Chen Zhi thought of Zhou Ao, and how Zhou Ao behaved, as long as he was an official in Youzhou, he would inevitably be investigated. Therefore, when he came into contact with several businessmen, they were all discovered immediately, and then he After further following the clues, the situation behind it was discovered.

"Several businessmen came to our door repeatedly. It was really weird and their behavior was unusual. That's why they were noticed, and they were investigated and the results were obtained." Tong Hai further explained the reason.

"There is no doubt about Zhou Ao's loyalty," Chen Zhi read the contents of the book, "but the movements of Luoyang merchants are indeed worthy of investigation. You should coordinate with Su Liao and ask them to send some people, preferably elite ones. Manpower, follow this line, go to the capital to investigate clearly, there is also something big there, let's find out the matter."

Tong Hai nodded in agreement and left.

After the others left, Chen Zhi glanced at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.

He knew that Zhou Ao often corresponded with Luoyang. Because Zhou Ao was now famous, powerful and influential, he was considered a successful person in Dai County.

What's more important is that his subordinate is not a patient person. He has achieved great results, and of course he is not willing to walk at night in brocade clothes. Therefore, he often exchanges letters with his former colleagues, and many of Zhou Ao's past colleagues are regarded as Chen Zhi's former subordinate.

These people were not as courageous as Zhou Ao, they didn't follow Chen Zhi to the north, or they simply felt that Chen Zhi was stared at by the Zhang family who was in full swing at that time, and they must be capsized, so they all jumped ship and wanted to draw a line with Chen Zhi.Now, of course, even the intestines are regretful.

Not to mention Chen Zhi's current power, even if Chen Zhi is just a Daijun governor, he is much better off than his subordinates who stayed in Luoyang. Because the capital has gone through several battles and sieges many times, not only is the security situation worrying, Even the official environment is very bad. Every time a new person in power comes, he will bring a group of close confidants. After all, they can't trust the original people.

There are only so many seats, and when new people come, there are old people who have to make room for them, and they are squeezed from top to bottom.

Chen Zhi's old subordinates have been promoted more or less with the help of Zhu Ping's capital. Even those who have not been promoted can still keep and secure their original positions. But once the newcomers come, the situation is different, especially This time three clan members came.

Three new bosses, each with a team, took up most of the positions at once. Life for Chen Zhi's old subordinates became difficult. Many people were laid off or demoted, and their salaries and benefits were cut in half.

This time, Zhou Ao's wisdom and luck were even more highlighted. The number of letters exchanged increased, all expressing regrets and hoping that he could introduce them to these old brothers to try their luck in the north.

"It used to be letters, but now it's merchants. There are many people in Luoyang City who can support the northbound caravan, but my old subordinates should not be among them. I have to check carefully. Maybe I can get the Three Kings West Go to the roots.”

Chen Zhi still wanted to get a glimpse of the reason for the great changes in Luoyang and the emperor's departure, so he asked Tong Hai to cooperate with Su Liao and send enough elite personnel to inquire about the news.

You know, although the master and apprentice are very good personal trainers, because each other has a part of the intelligence power, since the separation, they usually try to minimize contact with each other. At least in official business, both of them have the intention to avoid suspicion. , it would be difficult for such cooperation to happen unless Chen Zhi took the initiative.

After finishing all the arrangements, Chen Zhi did not immediately get involved in official duties. Instead, he returned to the study, opened a secret door next to the desk, and walked in.Inside is a secret room, which was added after Chen Zhi took over the place.

The space in the secret room was not large, only about the size of three people hugging each other, but there were two boxes.

Chen Zhi walked over, took out the key, and opened a box. There were several objects of different shapes inside, as well as several pieces of paper painted with strange patterns that looked like talismans.

These are the objects that Chen Zhi extracted from hundreds of lots over the years.

Most of the things that come out of the lottery tube can only be used by Chen Zhi. Even if they are stolen, they can only be used for decoration. They can be used as bricks, but they cannot inspire special abilities. However, now that Chen Zhi has taken them out, he can only use them for the time being. No, I don’t want someone to steal it, so I built such a secret room for storage.

"The things in this box are all related to the military affairs. If the situation in the south really develops beyond my expectation, then I have to end my dormancy and head south. It is also time to announce something to the world."

Thinking this, he squinted his eyes and glanced around the box. Finally, he stretched out his hand and took out a few things. After locking them, he turned around and walked out.

In the next few days, everything seemed to have returned to calm. Occasionally, there were battle reports coming from the east, telling what enemies the Captain Hu had defeated and which tribes he had conquered. Other than that, everything inside and outside Youzhou was peaceful. .

In such tranquility, news about the Yuwen Department gradually spread.

The most shocking ones were the ministries of Pingzhou.

"What did you say?" Looking at the battle report in his hand, Duan Pixi frowned, looked at the person who came to report the message, and then looked at the battle report in his hand, "Did you write anything wrong?"

The messenger said with a serious face: "What is written above is absolutely true!"

"Okay, you can retreat first." Duan Pixi waved his hand, and after letting people retreat, he immediately summoned the important officials of the clan to come over for discussion.

When these people heard the news, they felt mixed emotions.

Some people were delighted and said: "Zhang Fang is really not successful enough but has failed more than enough. He actually takes the initiative to attack Yuwen. This move will make all the ministries in Pingzhou see his true face in Youzhou and have no illusions anymore."

But he was also worried and said: "In one night and a few hours, we took down the Yuwen tribe's big and small clan names. The combat power of the Black Armored Army is really beyond imagination."

Duan Pixi was also worried, and while he was thinking about it, someone suddenly reminded him: "Haoshuai, it's better to report it to Shanyu first."

Only then did Duan Pixun react, nodded and said, "Everyone, just wait, I'll be back as soon as I can."
