Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 672 Where does the enemy come from?There is military information in Jizhou
"The man threatened the old man at that time, saying that he wanted me to agree to a request of his, that is, when the senior officials of the imperial court inspected and inquired, he asked me to admit that it was you who coerced and induced me to wait for the Mohist, and then I got the order. Shao Pao’s square and circle diagram, and asked the old man and others to state in public that the square and circle diagram was presented to the imperial court by me, the ink master.”

In the back hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, the old man Ma Shou was standing in front of Chen Zhi, explaining everything in detail.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Zhan couldn't help but sneer: "You really don't want to show off, you want everything, and you have to make up such a saying, it's a gift from the Mohist, dedicated to the court, it sounds like It's just like our prefect took advantage of it by taking advantage of it, how shameless! It is obviously based on what the prefect said that we have this so-called single-shooter cannon."

As soon as he said this, everyone present nodded.

But Ma Shou's expression changed slightly and he shook his head secretly. He felt that Chen Zhi calling Ran Zhan over was really a failure. This person didn't seem like someone who could keep secrets. , causing uproar in the city, then the lives of my family members would be in danger.

There were actually not many people in the hall at this time. Chen Zhi was sitting at the top, and the others formed a circle. After Ma Shou finished speaking, he also stepped aside and sat down carefully, with only half of his buttocks. I dare not sit down next to the chair.

In addition to Ma Shou and Ran Zhan, there were several others, including Su Liao, Chen Zi, Bao Jingyan, the Yang brothers, and Zhou Ao.

It can be said that those who can appear here are the first group of people who followed Chen Zhi, and are currently regarded by Dai County as Chen Zhi's close and direct descendants.

The reason why they gathered here was precisely because of Ma Shou's report——

This old man Ma, who was threatened at home yesterday, went to Chen Zhi to confess today. According to him, although he was threatened with his family's life, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had to report Chen Zhi's knowledge. Grace, so I hurried over to report.

Chen Zhi was greatly praised for this, but no one from Su Liao to Chen Zi to Ran Zhan and Zhou Ao believed this statement.

They have dealt with this old man more or less, and they know that this man looks like a honest old man on the surface, but after watching him deal with things a few times, they know that he is clearly an old fox who is not profitable, and he will risk everything for the sake of so-called loyalty. With the risk of the whole family being killed, come here to report?There must be his considerations in this.

But since Chen Zhi didn't tell the truth and accepted this statement, others could only go along with it.

"Prefect, do you think this is the person sent by the imperial envoy?" Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Ma Shouze made a guess, "You see, these statements are all beneficial to the imperial court. Who should be promoted?" The prestige of patrolling.”

"It shouldn't be that simple." Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Ao immediately expressed his opinion at this time. He knew his own family affairs, and he could sit here not because of his ability, but because he was Chen Zhi's true meaning. The old subordinates at the top have excellent team skills and have shown loyalty. The few people in front of him now are either from extraordinary backgrounds or have extraordinary abilities. For example, the Yang family brothers are even more powerful on the battlefield. When these people open their mouths, he, Zhou Ao, will There is no room for performance, so it is better to seize the opportunity now and start to attract others.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, everyone's eyes gathered.

Zhou Ao cleared his throat and said: "I think the other party was able to sneak into Mr. Ma's house silently, and his original intention was to hide his behavior. In this case, how could he take the initiative to expose it? Saying these demands will only make people go to the house. Those who came from the imperial court thought that they were completely exposed, which is not advisable!"

"It makes sense, but..."

To Zhou Ao's surprise, he thought that the people who would refute him would be people like Su Liao and Chen Zi, but he didn't expect that the first person to speak would be the martial artist Ran Zhan.

"But what?" Ma Shou was a little confused. After listening to Zhou Ao's words, he felt that it made sense.

Ran Zhan said: "Didn't that person take the lives of Lao Ma's son, nephew, clansman, and granddaughter to threaten him not to speak out? This normal person must not dare to speak nonsense, otherwise the whole family will die. "

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ao almost laughed out loud, while Ma Shou's face suddenly darkened.

Although the others were extremely calm and well-trained, it could be seen that all of them were holding back their laughter.

Why?
Undoubtedly, Ma Shouji said that this old man was ruthless and came to report the news regardless of the life and death of his family.

Of course, Chen Zhi had to express his position, and immediately reprimanded him: "What nonsense, the old man is deeply aware of the righteousness, and he saw that the person who threatened him was just cruel, so he did this. This is a wise and brave decision. How could you understandable?"

Ran Zhan bowed his head in silence while being trained, while Chen Zhi turned to comfort Ma Shou and said, "Mr. Ma, don't worry, I will arrange for people to bring them all to my mansion and guard them strictly. But in this way, it is tantamount to thoroughly guarding them." Expose, how to choose, you think about it."

"That's good. Thank you for taking the trouble, Governor." Ma Shou looked worried. He seemed to be unable to sit down anymore and looked tired, so after saying a few more words, he left in a hurry.

As soon as they left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

"How credible are his words?" Chen Zhi looked around the crowd and asked.

Bao Jingyan never said a word and just looked on with a smile, while Zhou Ao knew how capable he was and kept his head down. As for Ran Zhan, he wanted to interrupt, but unfortunately he couldn't come up with a reason after much thought, so he had to give up. .At the critical moment, Chen Zi and Su Liao stepped forward.

It was Chen Zi who spoke first. He said slowly: "At that time, Ma Shou didn't know the secret of the single-shot cannon at all, so he would definitely not be able to give an answer. Therefore, it was normal for him to be asked to cooperate later, but this matter was not necessarily a peaceful matter. Yu Liang and the others are related because this approach is too obvious."

Su Liao also nodded and said: "Ran Jun was outside at that time, and he had actually found traces of that man, but he followed your order and stayed still, just to lure out the people behind him. As a result, when this man left, he was extremely careful, and He left the city directly without looking back, leaving no trace behind."

Chen Zhi nodded and looked at Ran Zhan again. Seeing that the latter's face was quite unhappy, he immediately smiled and said: "You kid, don't feel too aggrieved. Mr. Ma came here this time, no matter what the reason is." After all, I have taken risks, and I can’t let him feel cold.”

Ran Zhan shook his head and said: "Boy, it's not because of this unhappiness. I know about the old man and understand the reasoning behind it. What makes me really unhappy is that I can't do anything when I see several people in front of me these days!"

It turned out that after Ran Zhan came back before, Chen Zhi had expected that someone would make an issue out of Mo Zhi, so he transferred his manpower to guard Gongshuhua and the others. Regardless of Gongshuhua, Li Li, and Li Wei brothers, in the final analysis, they were all Chen Zhi. Zhi's servants and tribes are also convenient for defense.

In contrast, Old Man Ma's family is isolated. Although they are not far away, they are still far away. In addition, their family is also a little wary. Chen Zhi will not arrange them too close to prevent them from getting too close. People are thinking nonsense, so it will be a little difficult to handle the defense of this family.

In this case, Chen Zhi arranged for Ran Zhan, a well-known expert in his camp, to personally protect the Ma family, and also issued an order asking him to try not to alert those who were more skilled in sneaking and spying. .

It is conceivable that with a character like Ran Zhan's, it would be really sad to have the enemy in front of him without being able to take action.

"Especially the person today. This person is indeed very skilled, but he is not really undetectable. However, he looks like no one in our Dai County can cure him. It's really annoying to see him!"

The more he talked, the angrier Ran Zhan became.

Chen Zhi understood and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't let you do such embarrassing things in the future."

Ran Zhan nodded.

Then Chen Zhi looked at the few people and asked, "If this person wasn't sent by Yu Liang, where did he come from?"

"It is very likely that he is the person from Duan Bu who just arrived. That person is still being left alone. Moreover, he is most likely to want to provoke him," Su Liao made a judgment. "Furthermore, judging from Duan Bu's current situation, He said that provoking our relationship with North Korea and China is the fastest way to get revenge, and my subordinates will collect as much relevant intelligence as possible in the past few days."

Chen Zhi nodded and looked at Chen Zi again.

"It's not necessarily the forces in Daizhou now," Chen Zi pondered for a moment and gave the answer, "Currently the imperial envoys, Duan envoys, and Murong's generals are all in the city, but looking at the entire Northland, the forces There are many, and there are many who have the motive to take action, let alone the general Wang Jun. He may be like this. On the surface, he sent Duan Bu and Yu Liang over, but secretly sent people to assassinate them. Get rid of suspicion."

When Su Liao heard this, he couldn't help but nod, and then added: "The Huns also said that they would send people over. The reason was unclear. They just sent a message. They didn't specify who was coming. And Given the grievances between the Xiongnu and the prefect, it is not impossible to send someone to assassinate him."

"Perhaps we can also count the Tuoba tribe." Suddenly, Chen Zi said a name that surprised others, "Tuoba Yulu in Tuoba has a good relationship with the prefect, but he cannot represent the tribe personally. If Dai Jun With a strong rise, the Tuoba tribe's control over this part of the grassland will loosen. There is an obvious sign that the seven dependent tribes are. This is definitely a shock to some tribes on the grassland and will bring about all kinds of things. With different reactions, it’s not surprising that Tuoba tribe changed its mind.”

Ran Zhan felt dizzy after hearing this. How could the Tuoba tribe, which he thought were allies, still have such a risk?

Just when he was about to ask, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Chen Zhi's expression changed slightly and he asked someone to come in. When he saw that the person was Chen Ju, he said to the people around him: "I have already given instructions. It's nothing important, so don't disturb him. Since Chen Ju is here, it means it's not a big deal."

After saying this, Chen Ju had already handed a letter to Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi took a cursory look and his expression suddenly became serious.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zi asked.

Chen Zhi handed over the letter and said in a deep voice, "There will be a big battle in Jizhou!"
