The General's Mansion, located to the southeast of the palace, was the Taifu's Mansion where Sima Yi used to live. At this time, the people in the mansion were like ants on a hot pot. Wang Ling also knelt down at the banquet for a while, and then stood up and walked around.
He was walking, looking a little restless.
Except for Wang Feixiao, who was still in Yangzhou, the Wang family, father and son, all came to the General's Mansion. Wang Mingshan, the Central Secretary, had been on duty in the palace before, and hurried back to the General's Mansion after hearing the news.

The bearded Gongyuan said from the side: "The assassin's name is Li Yong. He is indeed a member of the Wang family and a groom. He is from the Qi State in Qingzhou. He was originally a villager in the Wang family's manor and has been working as a slave in the Luoyang mansion for several years."
Wang Ling had been the governor of Qingzhou before, and he did get some farmland in Qi State (county). But there were too many people attached to the Wang family. Wang Ling had no impression of this Li Yong. If he saw someone, he should be able to recognize him.
He was a servant of the royal family, but I really can’t remember his name.
"The past two years have been really eventful." Wang Ling frowned and sighed.
Gongyuan said: "I was at Yishouli Mansion at that time. I heard the servant's announcement and was about to go to the front hall to pick up Zhongming and Lingjun. Unexpectedly, this happened. After I went out to the door, Zhongming and others had already left.
The mansion."
Wang Mingshan on the side said: "It was an accident. There were no signs before."
Wang Mingshan has a white face and a short beard, and is tall and thin. Among the Wang family and his son, he is the most scholarly person.
The other few people all have martial looks. Even Gong Yuan, who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, has a big beard. Wang Ling and his second son Wang Feixiao, who lives in Yangzhou, have round faces and little beards.
But he has a strong body; the third son Wang Jinhu has a strong beard, and he looks like a martial artist at first glance.
At this time, Wang Jinhu, who had a strong beard, entered the door. He greeted his father and brothers with his hands, and then said: "The city gate captain Fu Gu is gathering some soldiers to send more men to each city gate to search for assassins."
Wang Ling walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stood still and said, "I'm going to General Wei's Mansion to see Zhong Ming."
The subordinate officer immediately reminded him nervously.
Wang Ling turned around and saw his sons looking at him, so he hinted: "I know Zhong Ming better."
Jin Hu cupped his fists and said, "My son, please go with me."
Wang Ling nodded: "Go and ask someone to prepare the car."
...At this time, Zhu Deng, a disciple of the sect, came to the mansion of General Wei, clasped his fists and bowed: "General, the general is out."
Qin Liang removed his hand from his forehead and looked up at Zhu Deng. Seeing that he was still bent over, he calmed down and wanted to wait for him to continue. However, Sima Wang Kang on the side couldn't help but asked: "How many people and horses are you bringing?
where?"
Zhu Deng said: "There is a group of people, about ten or twenty riders. When the servant got the news, the group had already left the gate and was heading east."
Yinci, the school official, also came to General Wei's mansion. He was sitting on the lower seat. When Qin Liang nodded, Yinci said to Zhu Deng: "Please continue to ask people to watch and see where those people have gone."
Zhu Deng responded, bowed to Qin Liang again, turned around and walked out of the front hall of the mansion.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Deng reported again that General Wang Ling and others had come to General Wei's mansion!
As expected, when Qin Liang walked to the corridor next to the patio, he met the servant who came in to report that he had welcomed the general and others into the house.
Qin Liang took a deep breath, quickened his pace and walked south, and soon saw Wang Ling and Wang Jin Hu striding over. Qin Liang bowed from a distance and greeted warmly: "Grandpa, third uncle."
Wang Ling and his son stepped forward to return the courtesy. Wang Ling looked around and said, "This is my first time coming into this mansion. After Cao Zhaobo was overthrown, I felt that this place was full of yin."
At the beginning of last year, thousands of people in Shuang Mansion and related people died. Wang Ling was probably referring to that thing.
There are rockeries, plants and other decorations in the front hall and courtyard of this mansion. The scenery does look richer, but those things affect the view and inevitably make it look a bit deep and circuitous.
Qin Liang smiled and said: "If you believe it, it exists, if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. I don't believe in evil."
"Haha!" Wang Ling laughed loudly, and found that no one around him laughed out loud, but only smiled to keep him company. He raised his finger and pointed at Qin Liang, turned to look at Wang Jinhu and said, "This Zhong Ming,
It’s still the same temperament as before.”
Several people were chatting while walking towards the dige.
In fact, Qin Liang still believes in evil. When something happened at the Wang family's residence, he left the Wang family as soon as possible. Now he feels that this matter may not be a conspiracy of the Wang family, but he still doesn't feel that he did anything wrong at that time.
.
As the head of the Wang family, Wang Ling came to General Wei's mansion in person. Qin Liang breathed a long sigh of relief. He was in a good mood and talked a little more when talking to Wang Ling and Wang Jinhu.
The whole thing was obviously not a good thing. Just because his previous mood was so bad, things suddenly improved a little, and Qin Liang felt a little happy.
The group entered the front hall of the mansion, and Qin Liang naturally asked Wang Ling to sit in the upper seat. Wang Ling was two generations senior and a general, so he could no longer use the guest-host ranking in General Wei's mansion.
Wang Ling knelt down and sat down at the table, and said, "It seems that everyone knows that Zhong Ming is very important. In just two years, two evil things have happened against Zhong Ming."
Qin Liang didn't want to hide his emotions, and immediately showed the anger in his heart on his face.
Wang Ling glanced sideways and noticed Qin Liang's reaction, and said in a deep voice: "It is necessary to find out the person behind the scenes, otherwise it will only hurt the relatives and make the enemies happy."
Qin Liang took a deep breath and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
Anger is indeed a crude and destructive emotion. It is easy to catch someone at random and spread your emotions on him. Therefore, there is a saying that anger makes people stupid. If the person who really did the bad thing cannot be found,
, that person is hiding in the dark, admiring the damage caused by his actions, wouldn't he be secretly pleased with himself?
Qin Liang was not too impulsive at first, but now it seems that he was right. Don't let anger affect your judgment, otherwise you will be even more angry in the future!
Qin Liang said: "We must find the person with sinister intentions. If we don't make him pay the price, he will have to hide and laugh. We will make him unable to cry!"
Wang Ling nodded and said: "This person did use a vicious trick." He continued, "The assassin's surname is Li, and his name is Li Yong. He is from Qingzhou and is the groom of the mansion. Li Yong should have nothing to do with Zhong Ming."
As expected, they were slaves of the Wang family, and only the Wang family could know in advance that Qin Liang and his wife were going to offer sacrifices today. If they were outsiders who had no connection, it would be difficult to prepare for an assassination at the operational level, and it would even be difficult to even get close to Qin Liang.
For example, Li Feng Xu Yun last year was a third-rank minister, a relative of the emperor, and even colluded with the emperor and close ministers, so he could threaten Qin Liang.
"My servant has almost no contact with people from Qingzhou." Qin Liang responded. But then he immediately remembered another Qingzhou person, Mrs. Bai, who was Wang Xuanji's adoptive mother and apparently Xuanji's biological mother.
Wang Ling said: "Li Yong is just a sword, there is another person holding the sword."
Qin Liang thought for a while and asked, "Are Li Yong's family members still in Qingzhou?"
Wang Ling turned around and glanced at Wang Jinhu: "Do you know?"
Wang Jinhu shook his head and said: "When we heard that something happened, we all rushed to the General's Mansion without asking in detail. Since this man is a servant of the Wang family and has been in the Wang family for several years, we will surely be able to ask about his origins and family background later.
Wait for everything."
Qin Liang can make a judgment that this matter at least has nothing to do with Wang Ling himself. However, the Wang family does have loopholes. The spy has been at home for so long, and they have no suspicion at all. And the Wang family's omissions, in the end, Qin Liang is unlucky?
As the undisputed grandfather of the Wang family, Wang Ling rose from the position of governor to general, and he had a lot of resources to mobilize. If Wang Ling arranged the matter, the assassination scene must not be what it is now. And if Wang Ling did such a thing, why?
Maybe he'll come to Qin Liang's territory in person right away?
Qin Liang thought for a while and said: "Now I don't know which gate the assassin will use to leave the city. Since he has been in my grandfather's mansion for several years, there will be many people in the mansion who know him. I also asked my grandfather to give an order to send the servants in the mansion to disperse
Go to each city gate to keep watch and identify people, this is more reliable than portraits."
After Wang Ling heard this, he looked sideways and said, "Gongmei asked people to go back and arrange this matter."
Jin Hu bowed his hands and asked again: "Why don't you ask your fourth brother to go to the palace to request an edict, close all the gates of Luoyang City, and conduct a search under martial law?"
Qin Liang said: "It's probably too late. It happened unexpectedly. We couldn't catch the assassin on the spot. The assassin might have left the city by this time."
Speaking of this, Qin Liang recalled the previous situation. The assassin was really like a loach. He suddenly launched his attack and ran away immediately after missing a hit! The whole process was as short as the snap of a finger. The assassin did not hesitate at all. It was obviously
Have a strategy in mind beforehand.
Moreover, Qin Liang guessed that Li Yong was not bribed, but someone who had been trained and selected very early. Because ordinary people have no experience, they will be nervous when doing such a thing, and most likely they will not be able to do it. For example, the history books record that Jing Ke assassinated King Qin
, Qin Wuyang, who was traveling with him, was so nervous that he pulled his crotch. When faced with a major event, the reaction of ordinary people is likely to be different from what they expected.
Jin Hu said: "Zhong Ming's words make sense."
Qin Liang then suggested: "The edict can be sent to the governors and governors of various states, so that they can issue wanted notices, and it is possible to catch the assassins locally."
Wang Ling immediately accepted Qin Liang's suggestion, nodded and said, "That's it."
The entire society of the Wei Dynasty lacked vitality. Except for military households and a few businessmen, there were very few floating populations in various places. Most of the countryside was occupied by wealthy manors or government farms. Therefore, the wanted orders at this time were more effective than those in later dynasties. After all,
The number of people who need to be screened is limited.
What Qin Liang wanted to do most at this time was to catch the assassin and find out who was behind it. He not only wanted to take revenge on the culprit, but also wanted to vent the bad breath in his heart.
Wang Ling took the initiative to visit the house in person, and Qin Liang was also very aware of the situation and directly insisted that it was a conspiracy from another family. After face-to-face communication, the situation has been greatly eased; however, the doubts between the two families have not been completely resolved.
Qin Liang was not carried away by anger at this time. He was very clear-headed. If he wanted to control the situation as much as possible, the most direct and effective way was to find out the truth and tell the truth.
