The first update of the big seal!!! The third update today!!!
When Concubine Wu was discovered, it was already the time to light the lamp, and her body hanging on the white silk was already cold and stiff.
Tian Hu came over after hearing the news and sat down for a while. Among Concubine Wu and Meiren Fan, Meiren Fan might be able to bring him some happiness, while Concubine Wu could talk to him heart to heart.
Tian Hu did not touch the already cold body, but sat silently beside it. It was not until the second watch that he stood up and slightly moved his almost numb limbs.
The maids at the door could hardly stand. They were supposed to change shifts without Tian Hu's permission. No one dared to leave, so everyone had to wait at the door.
With a "squeak", the door finally opened. Tian Hu glanced at the twenty or thirty palace maids outside the door and said sharply: "Who are on duty from the last hour to the You hour?"
The crowd dispersed, and several palace maids stepped forward with trembling steps, kowtowed, and replied, "They are the slaves."
Tian Hu looked at them one by one and found that there were three of them who were Concubine Wu's original maids. They had been following Concubine Wu since she entered the palace.
"Is there anything unusual? Has anyone been here? Has Meiren Fan been here?"
Tian Hu asked questions one after another, and his suspicions were fully revealed in these questions.
Even if her brother Wu Li dies, Concubine Wu will not suddenly understand her own life.
Tian Hu knows this very well.
Tian Hu also knew that Fan Mei and Concubine Wu had always been at odds with each other. This kind of thing was normal in the harem, but if it was really done by Fan Mei... she was too courageous!
The maids looked at each other for a few times, and an older one came out and replied: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu has been resting in the palace. The servants did not dare to enter without being summoned. It was not until the time when the lights were turned on that the servants dared to go in.
Discover..."
"What! No one comes in or out?" Tian Hu, who originally wanted to vent his anger, immediately calmed down a lot, showed the white silk and said, "Is this thing from the palace?"
The palace maid came up to look at it and shook her head decisively: "Concubine Wu doesn't like the color white. There is never such a thing in the palace."
Tian Hu quickly put away Bai Ling. This matter was beyond Fan Meiren's ability. He could move in and out of the palace freely, and he could also deceive the eyes and ears of the palace maids at the door. Even those with high martial arts skills could not do it.
Take the leaders of the Forbidden Army as an example, no one in Tian Hu can even do it.
It was impossible for Concubine Wu to commit suicide. This white silk was not a palace possession, which also shows that Concubine Wu was strangled to death by the white silk brought by someone else and then hung on a beam.
The question is, who is this person?
Tian Hu held the white silk in his hand and was stunned for a long time before having Concubine Wu's body taken out and burned directly in the backyard.
The Song Army will appear in Wei Shengzhou soon. Tian Hu doesn't want Concubine Wu to be humiliated after her death. Presumably, the ashes are easy to carry. Even if the newly built capital has to be abandoned, Tian Hu will still carry it with her.
Concubine Wu's ashes go away.
However, this move seemed incredible to others, but no one dared to comment on what Tian Hu had done. Fan Meiren was surprised and happy when she heard the news. She was so surprised that Bai Ying did what he said, and was the first to do so.
After leaving her, he went to kill Concubine Wu. Fortunately, from then on, Concubine Wu had disappeared, leaving only the dead Ni Concubine who was crying outside the palace, and could no longer make any waves.
The harem belongs to Fan Meiren.
Fan Meiren did not go to "harass" Tian Hu because she knew Tian Hu's temper well and was holding back her anger at the moment. She went by herself and wasn't asking for trouble?
So Fan Meiren was waiting in her bedroom, believing that one day Tian Hu would take the initiative to come to her.
Tian Hu barely fell asleep until the fourth watch. Naturally, he skipped the morning meeting. After waiting for some food, he sat alone in the study and thought. Tian Hu didn't know much about literacy, and most of the study was filled with decorations. He didn't read at all.
The memorial is nothing more than sketches.
Tian Hu had his own method. He picked up the pen and drew a few circles or dots with different shapes on the paper. After a long time, he put down the pen and looked at it carefully.
These ones with different shapes are the targets of Tian Hu's suspicion.
The soldiers of the Song Army were pressing down on the territory, and people were panicking. The targets of Tian Hu's suspicions had doubled compared with the previous days, and almost everyone was possible.
Tian Bao and Tian Biao died, and Li Kui was killed in prison. There seemed to be an invisible hand directing everything. Tian Hu originally suspected Song Jiang or Bai Ying the most; but Concubine Wu died.
, Tian Hu had to overturn his previous views.
What benefit would killing Concubine Wu bring to Song Jiang or Bai Ying?
Tian Hu couldn't figure it out, so he turned his attention to the group of two or three circles on the paper, which represented Fan Mei and his father Fan Quan.
Does Fan Quan have this ability? More importantly, does Fan Quan have the courage?
"Could it be that someone from the Song army sneaked into the capital?"
There is a large ink dot in the lower middle of the paper, which represents the Song army that is about to enter Weisheng Prefecture.
Tian Hu immediately denied this speculation. No matter how powerful he was, he could not come and go freely in the palace, and strangled Concubine Wu to death silently in broad daylight.
"So, who is it?"
Tian Hu looked at the two small circles in the middle of the paper. These two people he did not want to doubt, but he seemed to have dismissed other possibilities.
"This is impossible! How is this possible!"
Tian Hu swept the whole piece of paper to the ground, and Huang Menguan was so frightened that he didn't know whether to pick it up or not.
At this time, an official from Huangmen came in and kowtowed: "Your right Prime Minister, Grand Master Bian Xiang, would like to see the Lord."
"Xuan!" Tian Hu leaned on the chair. He felt that the chair, which was usually very comfortable, suddenly became uncomfortable, making him very uncomfortable.
Bian Xiang looked panicked, lifted up his robe and almost ran in.
"No need to salute, just tell me if you have anything to do!"
When Tian Hu saw Bian Xiang, he knelt down and raised his hands slightly.
Bian Xiang is also an old man who has been following Tian Hu from the beginning. He was originally a banker and made suggestions. Tian Hu valued him and became the right prime minister's grand master.
"Your Majesty, there is military information coming from Fenyang Mansion. The Song army has made great progress and has reached the city of Huoxian County." Bian Xiang was so anxious that he was sweating all over his face.
After Tian Hu heard this, he stood up suddenly: "How is this possible! Why was there no news at all before? Isn't the Song Army in Zhaode Mansion? Why did it go to Jinning Mansion?"
Bian Xiang wiped the sweat with his sleeves while answering Tian Hu's question: "The Song army is powerful and has been divided into martial arts. It still comes from Zhaode Mansion to Weisheng Prefecture, and now it has reached Yushe County; and it went secretly the other way.
Jinning Mansion, outflank my Wei Shengzhou, Your Majesty!"
"Although Jinning Mansion has a small city, it is not without defenders!" Tian Hu said angrily: "The enemy army is as if they are in an uninhabited land, and they did not spread the news until they reached Huo County! What do I want them to do?
use?"
"There are about 50,000 to 60,000 Song troops on this road, and the leader is the traitor Sun An." Bian Xiang had already thought of Tian Hu's reaction, but he still bluntly pointed out the fact: "Most of the troops defending Jinning Mansion along the way are
Sun An's old subordinates must have secretly communicated the news and concealed the news. Only Huo County guards Dang Shilong and Miao Cheng were not Sun An's old subordinates, so the news came."
"Huo County is the gateway to the left of Weisheng Prefecture. If the Song army breaks through and the enemy attacks from two directions, can Weisheng Prefecture be able to defend it?" Tian Hu was shocked: "Grand Master, how many troops are there in Weisheng Prefecture?
"
Bian Xiang was much calmer than Tian Hu at this moment. He held his hands and said: "Although the Song army is attacking from two directions, it is surrounded by thousands of mountains and has enough food and grass for two years. There are still 100,000 elite soldiers of the Forbidden Army; there is Wuxiang in the east and Wuxiang in the west.
The two counties of Qinyuan each have 50,000 elite soldiers; later there are Taiyuan County, Qi County, Lin County, and Dada County. The cities are strong and the food and grass are sufficient, so they can still fight and defend."
"This statement is deeply inappropriate!"
As soon as Bian Xiang finished speaking, Bai Ying's voice came from outside the door.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you interrupt!" Bian Xiang's face changed color, but the banker didn't change his true colors. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward to hit Bai Ying.
Bai Ying smiled coldly and didn't say anything. Instead, she stretched out her face as if she was letting Bian Xiang do anything.
"How unbecoming is it to fight and kill in front of me!" Tian Hu shouted: "Commander Bai was summoned by me to discuss matters... How could I have defeated these 42 counties in four prefectures without Commander Bai?"
?”
Bian Xiang retracted his hand angrily, and Bai Ying cupped his hand and said: "Your Majesty! This unfortunate incident happened in the palace, and the villain is so worried that he must summon him to come quickly. How can such a thing be accomplished if the inside and outside are not coordinated? The villain has his own subordinates.
A capable person can make people who don't want to speak speak..."
"Go and imprison all the maids in Concubine Wu's palace and interrogate them one by one!" Tian Hu ordered: "Be sure to ask the name of the murderer!"
Bai Ying agreed and was about to resign, but Bian Xiang stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Commander Bai, do you want to leave in the middle of your words? It's not appropriate to defend the soil. Do you have to tie your arms and send a surrender letter to me?"
Guan Sheng and Ximen Qing can’t make it!”
"If such a day comes, Commander Bai should be the last person to want to see it." Tian Hu suddenly said: "If it falls into the hands of the Imperial City Division, it will definitely be impossible to survive or die."
"Your Majesty." Bai Yingshi pushed Bian Xiang's arm aside and saluted Tian Hu: "Song troops are attacking from two directions. If they sit back and wait for death in Weisheng Prefecture, what's the difference of binding their own arms? Defend the city, defend the city.
How long can we defend the city?"
"It's almost October now." Bian Xiang said angrily: "The Song army has come from afar. The Song army is short of food and grass. As long as it can hold on for a month or two, it will be winter snow. The Song army doesn't even have cotton clothes. How can it compete with our army?"
Fighting? Our army is defending the city, but we can also take the opportunity to attack and turn defeat into victory!"
Tian Hu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but Bai Ying reprimanded lightly: "Talk about war on paper, it's nonsense! The Song army has Jinning Mansion on each side, and Zhaode Mansion is at the rear. There is sufficient food and grass, and cotton clothes...are shipped from Bianliang.
Naturally, we can't make it in time. Why is it difficult for the second government to rush to control it? The Song army is approaching Wei Shengzhou, and our defense line is gradually tightening. When the time comes, we will be surrounded by the Song army. There will be no way to the sky and no way to enter the earth. Attacking is just to seek death!"
"Weisheng Prefecture is surrounded by thousands of mountains and has many natural dangers, so we have a lot to do!" Bian Xiang insisted on his opinion.
But Bai Ying easily refuted him and made him speechless: "In the opinion of the Grand Master, is Huguan considered a natural hazard?"
"Commander Bai, if you have any high opinions, you might as well speak up." Tian Hu also vaguely felt that sticking to his guns was not the best option, so he asked.
