Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1128: Taking advantage of the topic, storm is coming

"Very good, you guys did a great job! Saved me a lot of waiting!"

As a result, just as the leader of the merchants said, when they reported the news, they were indeed rewarded. Even Zhou Ao, who had scolded them and ridiculed them before, took the initiative to reward them and at the same time asked them to keep it secret. Keep it secret and don't spread this matter to others.

In this regard, many businessmen feel that they can understand it. This must be the government's plan to take action, and they are worried about alerting others, which is why they keep silent.

It's just that awards are awards. The approval process for their goods did not speed up much, but at least a few promises were given, which finally made these people feel at ease.

Thinking back on this afterwards, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat, knowing how dangerous the situation was.

It is a common practice that after a great war, rewards will be given based on merit. However, in addition to the rewards, there are actually punishments, which are to pick out those who did not deal with it during the war and have evil intentions. After the punishment, they will be punished again. Showing it to the public, like this, on the one hand is to consolidate and appease people's hearts and increase the sense of belonging. On the other hand, it is to warn the world that if the same situation occurs again, this person will have to think about it.

These merchants looked back on the past and vaguely realized that they might have been regarded as the chickens to be killed, and they were to be used to kill chickens to scare others.

Now, this can be said to be the most reassuring thing.

After all, there are still some merchants who have not joined forces with them and can use them to warn others, so they and others will be safe.

"Next, it is estimated that there will be a search in this city to capture all the hidden people."

While feeling relieved, these merchants were still guessing that the number of people who had secretly contacted them before was quite large. Since they had reported the information, they would all be rounded up and arrested.

But after waiting and waiting, I still didn't see any big movement in the city. I couldn't help but become confused, and then I started to worry——

They betrayed those secretive people without hesitation. If these people were not arrested, had a chance to breathe, and learned the news, wouldn't they come to take revenge?
Even if they don't know, how will they respond when they contact me again? Wouldn't it be even worse?The safety of people like myself cannot be guaranteed!
However, the strange thing is that there was no news at all. Until Chen Zhi's carriage and horses entered Dai County, there was no movement from the government. However, there were no sneaky people contacting the merchants afterwards, making the situation Quite strange.

So, amid the uneasiness of the merchants, Chen Zhi's carriage and horses finally arrived at Dai County.

Immediately, a piece of news broke out that shocked the Northland and attracted the attention of the world——

When General Chen Zhi entered Dai County, someone actually attempted to assassinate him!

Of course, although the opponent seemed to be well prepared, with a large number of people, and all of them wanted to die as soldiers, under the obstruction of Xuanjia and his personal guards, they couldn't get close to Chen Zhizhi at all, and they were all beaten halfway through the charge. Blocked, half of them were killed on the spot, and the rest were either seriously injured or captured on the spot, and no one could escape.

Such an assassination was quickly put down and looked like a farce.

Chen Zhi entered Dai County with a normal expression.

It's just that the follow-up impact of this assassination is far-reaching.

This is not the first time Chen Zhi has been assassinated.When he was the governor of Daijun, he was assassinated by an assassin hidden among the foreign envoys. The situation at that time was very dangerous.

Since then, the security around Chen Zhi has become even tighter, so although there were several assassinations later, the impact was not huge.

This time, Xuanjia's Western Expedition was victorious. The Xiongnu side could no longer win on the battlefield, so they had to resort to outside tactics. As a result, many assassinations came one after another, not only targeting Chen Zhi, but also the generals and civil servants under his command. threaten.

However, they were all resolved in the end.

But in the final analysis, those military struggles and assassinations still took place outside the country, on the land that was confiscated, but this time it happened in Dai County, the place where Chen Zhi started his family. The whole state was shocked!
Likewise, they also anticipated that a big storm was about to sweep through.

Among these people, there was a group of people who were particularly frightened, namely the merchants from before.

Some of them vaguely guessed something, but because of this, they became even more terrified, because they knew the inside, and after a series of news came, the panic in their hearts was aggravated—— —

After the assassination, Chen Zhi did not leave Dai County immediately. After meeting the local officials and some old subordinates, he took up residence here. At the same time, the government and the Xuanjia Army took action at the same time to search the entire city. Uprooted the assassin's hiding places.

In addition, some intelligence agencies arranged by other forces in Dai County were also attacked.

Then, only two days later, the results of the interrogation came out, and it was finally determined that the one who did it this time was actually an assassination by some aristocratic families from Youzhou and Bingzhou, united with outside tribes!

After the news spread, there was an uproar in both places.

Especially the local aristocratic families in Youzhou were extremely frightened, and everyone was in danger. The leaders and elders of the family were even more busy sending their children to Dai County, hoping to express their loyalty to Chen Zhi in person. .

The second person to be upset was the envoys from the Hu tribe who gathered in Jixian Post House. They were even more frightened, fearing that they would be misunderstood by Chen. However, due to their status and responsibilities, they could not leave Jixian to greet him. Chen Zhi could only write a letter to his headquarters first, hoping that the clan would send someone to explain quickly and prove his innocence.

At the same time, their tribe also got the news early and sent another wave of envoys towards Dai County. However, they were blocked when they entered the country, making it difficult to enter again. The news spread back, and one by one the grassland tribes , regardless of size, all of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

And when these news fell into the ears of those merchants, they became even more frightened, because they knew that the person who planned the plan was obviously a peripheral force. How could it be connected with so many parties? Could it be that someone was trying to use the topic as an excuse?

Considering Daixian's silent treatment after they notified in advance, it became more and more likely that this was the case, so they kept silent like cicadas, fearing that they would be silenced.

Fortunately, they knew that Chen Zhi had left Dai County and they were all safe. They finally breathed a sigh of relief. After getting their belongings, they left in a hurry, just to protect their capital and not to make more money.

Chen Zhi, on the other hand, returned to Jixian under the spotlight.
