King of Song

Chapter 264 Deception?
How did you recognize Lin Shaoqing?

Zhong Shidao said with a sneer: "I also ask Lin Shaoqing to forgive me, I am really taking the liberty. To be honest, I am not sure that my lord is Lin Shaoqing. I just tried to test it out, but I didn't expect to meet it just by chance."

"Oh? Such a coincidence?" Lin Zhao really felt a little funny about this, it was too coincidental.

However, if he said that he knew his whereabouts before becoming a teacher, Lin Zhao would never believe it!
After all, I left the mission quietly from Qinfeng Road, and no one knew my whereabouts at all.And it was only after he left that the imperial decree was announced to the public, so it was impossible for someone to monitor and follow him one step ahead.Therefore, Lin Zhao became more and more curious, how did Zhong Shidao find himself?
If the clues are obvious, then Zhong Shidao can be found, and so can Li Fugui.What's the point of quietly coming to Gyeongju for an unannounced visit?Therefore, Lin Zhaocai wanted to ask clearly.

Master Zhong said with a smile: "Earlier, I heard my teacher talk about Lin Shaoqing's physical signs and appearance, which is how he identified Shaoqing himself. As for why we met here, it is completely a coincidence.

Lin Shaoqing's deeds in the Central Plains are well known throughout the world, and I also admire your honor's methods.This time the Gyeongju case happened, Lin Shaoqing was ordered to investigate, and some things would be very troublesome, so I inferred from the habit of my lord, guessing that you might come to Gyeongju for an unannounced visit! "

Lin Zhao couldn't help being a little surprised, but also a little bit wanting to laugh.I used to read some materials and analyze people's thoughts and habits, etc., but I never thought that one day I would become the object of analysis by others, and the analysis was quite reasonable.

Lin Zhao couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive. If this was the case, then there should be quite a few people who analyzed his actions.Then come to Gyeongju for an unannounced visit, think carefully...

well!Fail!Lin Zhao was thinking, could he be deceiving himself?

Zhong Shidao continued: "I have been wandering around the periphery of Qingzhou for the past few days. After Lin Shaoqing appeared, I happened to notice. He was alone, with an extraordinary bearing, and the places he paid attention to were also unusual. He rode a good horse, They are very similar in all aspects. It just so happened that your honorable car was attacked, and it was imperative to draw his sword to help, so he took the liberty. I didn't expect it to be Lin Shaoqing..."

Feelings are still self-indulgent, and they directly admit it when they are tempted, alas!After all, he revealed his identity, and Lin Zhao gave another faint wry smile.

"Actually..." Mr. Zhong continued: "The Chong family didn't have any intention of pleading or any other intentions. They insisted that the pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. The body is not afraid of the shadow. But the family is worried about the safety of the fourth uncle. Especially after Lin Shaoqing came, the safety of the fourth uncle became even more worrying, so the family sent me to investigate the situation."

What makes me feel even more unsafe when I come here?Lin Zhao muttered something in his heart, slightly puzzled and displeased.

Mr. Zhong seemed to find that his words were ambiguous, and immediately explained: "Lin Shaoqing, I'm sorry! It's like this. If my uncle was wronged, Li Fugui would definitely have the intention to kill people. Maybe he was afraid of our Zhong family before, so he came here. There will be some delays, but now that Lin Shaoqing is here and the court is starting to investigate, Li Fugui may take risks when the fire is imminent, so my uncle will be even more dangerous."

Lin Zhao didn't speak, but vaguely felt that what Zhong Shidao said seemed to make sense.Regardless of who is right and who is wrong, according to the current situation, Li Fugui still controls Huanqing Road, while Chong Yong is locked in prison and controlled by others.If a bowl of water is level, it would really be unfair to Zhong Yong...

If Zhong Yong is indeed wrong, then it doesn't matter.But in case there is really something wrong with Li Fugui, judging from the current situation, there is indeed such a possibility.

Then it is reasonable for him to harm others in order to get rid of the crime.Zhong Yong is a good general, and the entire Zhong family will be implicated behind him. Lin Zhao doesn't want to lose an excellent general, and also hurt the heart of the famous general family.This is exactly what the breeders themselves are worried about.

Master Zhong continued: "I didn't intend to beg for mercy at first, but I met Lin Shaoqing by chance today, so I took the liberty to ask my lord to find a way to save my uncle. After that, right and wrong, have their own legal conclusions, and the Zhong family has no complaints. "

"En!" Lin Zhao responded lightly, the request of Zhong Shidao was not too much at all, it was completely reasonable.Moreover, the family has a clear attitude. If there is a scum, they will not be lenient in killing relatives with righteousness.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "You didn't come to Gyeongju just to wait to meet me by chance?"

Now, what Lin Shaoqing wants to know is, what measures did the Zhong family take to rescue or preserve Zhong Yong?

Don't want to, Zhong Shidao shook his head and said: "There are no measures, just investigating the case, as long as the truth can be revealed, then some things will be revealed to the world. If uncle was wronged, he will naturally be able to wash away his grievances. If it is really uncle's fault, Willing to follow the military law."

What Zhong Shidao said is correct, this is the most direct and effective way of rescue.Apart from this, there is really no other way.

It is not easy to bribe someone for the emperor's decree to confess, at least Lin Zhao will not bend the law for personal gain.It is also impossible to directly rescue by force.

The Zhongliang family in Qingjian City has been loyal and good for generations, and they will never take risks because of a Zhongyong. To be serious, it is equivalent to treasonous behavior.Young people may be full of vigor, but kindness will never be tolerated.

For the Qingjian City breeders, they only have two choices!

Either watching Zhong Yong die with his own eyes, can be regarded as giving up Xiao Xiao Bao Da.Either they were expecting the case to come to light, but no matter what, they seemed a little passive.It was inconvenient for the Zhong family to come forward directly, so they sent a younger nephew. Whether it was a visit or other efforts, it would not affect the entire Zhong family.

Probably Zhong Er gave the same instructions, but Zhong Shi is not an ordinary person.His strategies and talents are very good. After all, he is a famous person in history. He has some ideas and methods of his own.

When he saw Lin Zhao, a thought came to his mind.Perhaps this is a third solution.Or just a supplement, but there is no doubt that the hope is much greater.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "Then can you find any clues?"

What Lin Zhao lacks most now is clues. After coming to Gyeongju, his eyes are completely dimmed.Although the position of Zhongshi Dao is biased, at least it can be used as a reference, which is much better than knowing nothing.

Seeing that Lin Zhao was interested, Zhong Shidao was secretly delighted, and said, "First of all, we can be sure that this time it was not the Xixia people deliberately provoking the invasion, but Li Fugui took the initiative to provoke the Xixia people. I did not expect to lose in the end, leading to the fall of Dashun City .”

"Li Fugui took the initiative to attack?" Lin Zhao was a little surprised.Before that, he suspected that Li Fugui mainly underestimated the enemy and made rash advances, not for other reasons.

As for taking the initiative to provoke a war, everyone must have doubts!

After all, throughout the Song Dynasty, all the monarchs and ministers had serious Xiaxia disease, and they were all afraid of going to war with the Xixia people. Few people would take the initiative to provoke the Xixia people.

What's more, during that time, Li Bingchang had just surrendered to the Central Plains, proclaimed himself a minister and accepted the canonization of the Song Dynasty emperor.The relationship between Song and Xia is at peace, how could Li Fugui send troops to fight easily?This is definitely not in line with the intention and policy of the imperial court.

It can even be said to be an approach that undermines the country's major policies.

Especially for the special relationship between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, Li Fugui's actions undoubtedly violated the covenant on his own initiative.You must know that people from the Central Plains are the most respectful of etiquette. Li Fugui's actions undoubtedly made the Song Dynasty lose their manners and put them in an unjust situation.

It is a serious consequence to anger the Xixia people and directly lead to the outbreak of war.It would also be bad to push the Xixia people to Liao's side again.The most terrible thing is that in the future, the Xixia people will be confident when they rise up. It is not us who want to rebel, but you who forced us to rebel!
This is what the court of the Song Dynasty did not want to see. Does Li Fugui have the guts to mess around?Besides, what is the purpose of doing so?He is a general of the frontier army, even if there is a war, there will be military exploits.But the frontier is not stable, which is not good for them, especially Li Fugui is still the governor of Gyeongju, doesn't he want the place under his jurisdiction to be peaceful and peaceful?What can he gain from the war?
It is precisely because of this that Lin Zhao is even more puzzled!
Li Fugui's starting point is very strange, a bit incomprehensible, at least for now.Could it be that Zhong Shidao deliberately fabricated a lie to rescue his uncle Zhong Yong?

But is it necessary?Even if you have lied to yourself now, what next?I will never be so stupid as to believe one side of the story casually!There will definitely be investigations in the future, and this kind of teacher must be clear about it.

The reputation and prestige of the Zhong family is there, and the matter of Zhong Yong is already a big blow to their family.However, if it is because of making up for this incident, it will cause more damage than the loss.

A general who does not obey restraint is completely different from deceit. If it is serious, it can rise to the height of the crime of deceiving the emperor. I believe that the family will not take such a risk easily.

Furthermore, Zhong Shi Dao is a student of Zhang Zai, and great Confucians have very high requirements on the character of students, and the evaluation of Zhong Shi Dao in history is also very high, so Lin Zhao has reason to believe.What Zhong Shidao said is true, at least [-]% to [-]% credible, it can be used as a good reference content.

Just what is the cause of the war?Still others continue to track down!
Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice, "Well, besides this, do you have any other discoveries?"

Zhong Shidao said: "Yes, the pastures on Huanqing Road have been damaged to a great extent, and most of them have been reclaimed into farmland. This seems to have a lot to do with Li Fugui."

Lin Zhao also investigated this matter, so it is not surprising.Judging from the current situation, it seems to be more and more unfavorable for Li Fugui.

Just how to drill down?For a while, Lin Zhao was in a difficult situation!

Lin Zhao didn't know, but not long after he left, Zhe Wenxin... no, it should be said that Xin Wenzhe, who was wearing men's clothes, rode his horse to Nanhe Town!
