Chapter 122 Intrigue
This plan was very risky, but Zhao Yuan knew that he couldn't just wait like this.
Xiaoyaozi also knew in his heart that there would be no results in waiting. He had been on this island for several months, but Xu Hai had never been here.
Perhaps Xu Hai felt that there was nothing on this island worthy of his frequent visits.
However, this plan is very risky. There are many experts around Xu Hai. If he is not careful, he and Zhao Yuan will suffer the consequences. He is already a lot older and has half of his feet in hell. But
Zhao Yuan is different, he is still young?
But as Zhao Yuan said, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Otherwise, how could it attract Xu Hai's attention if the news is enough to attract him? How could he be led to this island?
Come up?
After the master and apprentice discussed for a while, they decided to leak the news that there were still people alive on the island. Of course, only Xiaoyaozi could do this. After all, Zhao Yuan was now under strict guard.
Zhao Yuan returned to his residence again, and the two guards had no way of noticing.
In the next few days, Guo Qing was still working hard to collect evidence. Then, a piece of news began to spread on the island. First, not everyone on the island that was attacked was left alive. There was still one alive! The second news
Also accompanying them was a boat belonging to the group of people who attacked the island. This boat came from Wang Zhi.
As soon as these two pieces of news came out, it immediately caused a huge stir and spread to every corner of the island almost instantly. Everyone on the island witnessed the fire and huge explosion that night, and everyone was also speculating about the outcome.
Who could be so bold and reckless as to rush to Xu Hai's territory to run wild? What's more, there are more than a hundred guards on that island, and there are several surrounding islands not far apart that are heavily guarded.
However, news spread that there was no one alive on the island, and there was no trace of the attackers, so various rumors followed one after another.
No matter how much they speculated on these rumors, no one would speculate on Wang Zhi, so as soon as these two messages came out, they immediately caused a huge stir. Compared with those rumors that were out of tune, these two rumors were undoubtedly the most true.
"Who leaked the news?"
Guo Qing threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and asked angrily. Except for a few people, no one else knew about this news. However, now the entire island knew about it and spread it.
It won't be long before both Xiao Zhongke and Liu Xuan know about this matter. If they know that they actually brought back the only survivor and ship, they will definitely come back to find him. In this case, he wants to secretly investigate the matter.
Wouldn't it be a failure?
The deputy general was also a little confused and said: "After the rumor spread, my subordinates sent people to investigate carefully, but the guard brother didn't know about it at all. My subordinates also sent people to investigate the hospital, and the old gentleman also
I'm not a talkative person, and the two of them don't know each other at all."
Guo Qing shouted: "This is not true, and that is not true, so how did the news leak out? Could it be that he ran away by himself?"
Guo Qing is not extremely angry now. The news has been leaked. The key is that he still doesn't know how the news was leaked.
The deputy general said cautiously: "Sir, the news has been leaked and the deal is done. However, my subordinates believe that this is not the biggest problem."
Guo Qing said angrily: "This is not the biggest problem, so what is the biggest problem?"
The deputy general said: "The people we arranged sent back news that the rumors have been known to Liu Xuan and Xiao Zhongke, and both of them have set off to come to us, so the biggest problem now is how to deal with them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard hurried over from outside and said, "Sir, Chief Liu Xuan, Chief Liu and Chief Xiao are here."
"What the hell, Leader Liu!"
Guo Qing cursed, and as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xuan's voice sounded outside: "Hey, brother Guo, why are you so angry about this!"
Guo Qing raised his eyes and saw that Liu Xuan and Xiao Zhongke had walked in. He suddenly felt guilty and said with a smile on his face: "No, a few of my subordinates are disobedient and throw me around to practice. I just can't do it."
Just a few scoldings, you two have come from afar, please sit down, please sit down! Here, I’ll serve you some tea!”
Liu Xuan and Xiao Zhongke came with purpose at this time, and sat on the chairs without any courtesy. They took the tea from the servant and took a sip. Xiao Zhongke said: "
Brother Guo, we Mingren don’t tell secrets. Let me just tell you the purpose. I heard that not everyone on the island died that night. There was only one person left alive. In addition, there was a boat that those people were riding on.
Did you also bring the boat back with you?"
Guo Qing rolled his eyes and nodded: "Indeed!"
As soon as these words came out, even Liu Xuan and Xiao Zhongke were shocked. When they met, they discussed on the boat how to force Guo Qing to hand over the person and the boat if he didn't hand over the person or tell the truth.
come out.
Knowing that he actually admitted it openly, Liu Xuan and Xiao Zhongke were very surprised.
Then, Guo Qing sighed again and said: "My younger brother did have selfish motives at the time. He wanted to find out the matter on his own. He got there first and found out that there was a living person, and then he brought him back alive, as well as the ship. However, upon closer inspection,
After investigation, I found out that something very serious happened, the person who sent someone to do this might actually be Wang Zhi!"
Wang Zhi?
Liu Xuan and Xiao Zhongke couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions changed greatly.
Guo Qing didn't hide anything and said, "Go get that Japanese sword."
The deputy general didn't understand Guo Qing's intention, but he immediately took the Japanese sword.
Guo Qing took the Japanese sword, handed it over, and said: "Look, you two, there is a emblem in Jian'e. This emblem was found to be owned by Wang Zhi's men. In addition, the living brother also confirmed that that day
That ship also entered the dock as a passenger ship under Wang Zhi, using the excuse of avoiding the wind and rain. If you two don’t believe it, I can bring the brother who is still alive immediately, and you can question him personally!"
He was so honest that the two of them felt a little helpless. Hearing this, Xiao Zhongke said: "How can we not believe what Brother Guo said? But if this Japanese sword has an emblem engraved on it, it must be extremely precious. How could it be possible?"
It was easily abandoned. In addition, they claimed to be Wang Zhi's ship. I think it was more deliberately done to get closer to the dock. In addition, after my people investigated, they found that some of the brothers who were killed were imitated Japanese swords.
, maybe it wasn’t really done by the Japanese!”
Guo Qingdao: "This is exactly what I was confused about. Then I thought about it. Wang Zhi only had Japanese people under his command. He also had a lot of Han people under his command, and there were also many masters among them. The purpose of using these masters to disguise themselves as Japanese was to spread the rumors."
Doubt formation?"
Speaking of this, Guo Qing also sighed and said: "I have been thinking about this matter these days, but I can't figure out what is going on for a long time. Fortunately, you two are here, so why not think about it together!"
Xiao Zhongke and Liu Xuan were also a little confused at the moment. After a while, Xiao Zhongke asked: "Do you think it is possible that they are people sent by the imperial court?"
Guo Qing and Liu Xuan both looked at him and said in surprise: "The imperial court?"
Xiao Zhongke nodded thoughtfully and said: "Yes, it is the imperial court. Whether it is Wang Zhi or the leader, they are a serious problem for the imperial court. Do you think this is the result of dozens of people sent by the imperial court?
, people pretending to be Wang Zhi came to attack us? The purpose is to provoke a dispute between the two sides? As the saying goes, one of the two tigers will be injured when they fight, so that the court can reap the benefits? "
After hearing this, Guo Qing thought carefully and said, "What you said makes some sense, but it still requires careful investigation. With the help of you two, this matter should come to light soon."
Xiao Zhongke said: "Having said that, it is not easy to find out clearly. I think we should report the matter to the leader in detail and let the leader make a decision."
Guo Qing said in surprise: "Leave it to the leader to decide?"
Xiao Zhongke said: "Yes, although you and I have failed in our defense, I also understand that you want to be punished and meritorious services, but this matter, whether it is sent by the imperial court or Wang Zhi, is definitely not comparable to the usual petty fights.
