The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

Chapter 38: Disaster continues, one after another

   An hour later.

   "The Lord."

   The black-clothed man hurriedly came, with a solemn expression, bowed, but hesitated a little, he didn't dare to speak directly.

   Chen Wang closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and answered, "How is the situation?"

   The man replied in a low voice: "Thirty-five water craftsmen and craftsmen, and fifty soldiers, all were killed. No one was spared. The other party did not leave any clues."

   Wang Chen clenched his fists and looked over, his expression gloomy.

   The man's tone became lower, and he said bitterly: "All the records surveyed these days have also been taken away."

   Chen Wang was silent.

  Dongsheng Dynasty, with vast land and abundant resources, and a peaceful and prosperous age. For many years, the court was stable and the people lived and worked in peace.

   Under such a peaceful situation, there are many capable people from all walks of life.

   The thirty-five watermen and craftsmen under his name are indeed a pity to die, but if you collect more manpower, you can easily get into such a group of capable people.

   However, the records of these surveys were also taken away.

   In other words, he has been wasting his time in vain these days.

   To him, eighty-five lives are not important.

  The important thing is that even if a group of people are invited again, they will have to re-survey, which has delayed precious time.

   "Did you find out who it is?"

   "There is no clue."

"Those thirty-five water craftsmen and craftsmen are also rough, not weak scholars. However, even if you don't mention them, these fifty elite soldiers alone are definitely not weak." Wang Chen said with a solemn expression: " To be able to annihilate these fifty elite soldiers, the opponent must use a lot of manpower, and the fact that they can be cleaned up so clean proves that there are not many casualties. Presumably, most of these people are masters."

"The prince is in the court, the tree attracts the wind, openly and secretly, and there are a lot of opponents." The man whispered: "Which one has used the elite and wiped out our manpower to delay us? After all, this is the emperor's fate. If there is a delay, the prince will inevitably be blamed by the emperor..."

"It's not like the old ghosts in the court." Wang Chen said: "These old ghosts are messing up the situation in the court. They use the various laws and regulations of the Dongsheng Dynasty. They set up conspiracy and tricks. At the necessary moment, we will never use military force to intercept and kill these eighty-five people... The so-called "failure to see" is a dead end, and it is a bad policy."

   "This..." The man vaguely understood something.

"These eighty-five people are all officials from the government. They are good at doing things. Once they are caught by this king, they can't turn over." King Chen paused and said, "The most important thing is that they have no reason to take such a risk. The big risk is just for the 85 lives in this trivial area."

   "Wang Ye means..."

"At this moment, kill these eighty-five people. If they are found, they will be ransacked and annihilated. For this king, this is just a matter of delaying me for a few days. How much benefit will it do for them? "

   "If it's not the old ghost in the court, who is it?"

   "This king also feels weird."

   The atmosphere in the pavilion is solemn.

   Whether it was King Chen or the man in black, the first thought was to guess that it was the officials in the court who also controlled power and opposed King Chen.

   They thought of many people, including local officials in the 16th House of Huai'an.

   The only one who never thought of Zhuang Ming's ant-like little person.

   Even if this young man is wealthy, he is only a merchant, a mere civilian.

   The so-called people do not fight against officials!

   The gap between the two is really too big, almost the difference between clouds and mud.

  He is the prince of the dynasty, aloft, like a god.

   As for Zhuang Ming, but mortal people like ants.

   Many behind-the-scenes came up in Wang Chen's mind, but the first thought was that there was no Zhuang Ming.

   Zhuang Ming has no guts, no private soldiers, and no status.

   The previous crackdown on private salt was not because Zhuang Ming was bold, but Zhuang Ming did not necessarily know that he was behind the king of a different surname. Moreover, Zhuang Ming had also used the power of the government to destroy his private salt business.

   What's more, although the Chuang's firm has strong financial resources, it has also recruited several martial arts masters, but after all, they are ordinary people and cannot raise private soldiers. How can they kill 85 people?

   What's more, in anyone's mind, it is unavoidable to think, how can a common businessmen have the courage to murder a government official?

  ——

   half an hour later.

   A white dove flies in the sky.

   The black-clothed man took it off, his complexion changed slightly, and he whispered: "Lord..."

   Chen Wang said solemnly: "What's wrong?"

   The black-clothed man said gravely: "The three hundred horses that were escorted on the way all died violently in the middle."

   Chen Wang suddenly turned around and looked at him viciously.

   The black-clothed man whispered: "More than a hundred elite soldiers escorting the horses, no casualties, no sight of foreign enemies, seem to be a sudden illness... However, at present, I am afraid that they were poisoned."

   Wang Chen took a deep breath and said, "Eighty-five lives were lost, and all records of waterway surveys were lost. Another 300 war horses died suddenly?"

   His face was ugly, and he said coldly: "Either it is really unfavorable for this king, or...someone has shot against this king."

   dared to openly ambush the officials, and secretly poisoned three hundred war horses.

   This is a blatant challenge to him.

   The other party is absolutely very human.

   And can do this, after all, the power is huge, and there are many elites under his command.

   Chaotang, who on earth is mad, who dares to be so mad, does it mean that he wants to completely tear his face away and have a fish-and-death with himself?

   "Report!"

   At this moment, someone stumbled and reported in a hurry.

   Wang Chen's heart sank.

   Just learned from the past, he didn't think this urgent report would be a good news.

   "What's the flustered?" The black-clothed man wanted to hide, but he heard the voice of the prince's entourage, and then he was relieved and shouted, "Come in and talk."

   "Wang Ye..."

  The people rushed in in a panic and shouted, "There is news from Shicai that the ore shipped to Huai'an has been robbed. None of the 30 elite escorts survived..."

   After he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the atmosphere was extremely quiet.

   Both the prince and the man in black were silent, but their expressions were extremely ugly.

   This person has followed Wang Chen for five years, and his heart jumped and his face was extremely pale.

   The prince seemed to be very angry at the moment, and now he added one more irritating thing. With the prince’s always temperament, he was extremely angry, maybe he would really be angry and drew his sword to kill himself to vent his anger.

   "This king got it."

   The voice of Wang Chen was unexpectedly calm.

   is just calm, with a little tiredness.

  The person did not know why, but there was a feeling of aftermath in his heart, he hurriedly gave a salute and left in embarrassment.

   The black-clothed man's face changed slightly, and he cautiously said: "Lord..."

   Wang Chen stretched his hand into his arms and threw something out, saying: "Before leaving, the emperor gave this king a soldier talisman that can be deployed to the southern army. With this soldier, the southern army of 50,000 towns in Huai'an can be mobilized."

   Seeing this, the black-clothed man was slightly startled and said, "This..."

   Chen Wang said: "The other party is so arrogant, I am afraid that he will not give up and avoid the next change. For all the responsibilities of guarding this trip, the Zhennan army will be dispatched."

   The man in black sternly said, "Subordinates do it now."

Wang Chen said: "No matter how many people are assigned to the Zhennan Army, no matter how strong the opponent is, it will be difficult to destroy it. But this king will never give up, he must check it carefully, but he wants to see it. Which **** who doesn't talk about court rules, dares to be so unscrupulous?"

   Before he could finish his words, he saw a white dove descending from the sky.

   Wang Chen's voice suddenly stopped.

   He looked at the white pigeon in front of him, and he couldn't even think of picking it up.

   "Come and see."

   Chen Wang's tone was slightly lower, and he seemed very tired.

   The black-clothed man sighed, and went forward, took the letter paper from the feet of the carrier pigeon, glanced at it, and suddenly stopped.

   After a while, the black-clothed man looked up at Wang Chen, and stopped talking.

   Chen Wang calmed down forcibly, and finally asked, "What happened again?"

The black-clothed man smiled bitterly: "There was a big fire at the military workshop. It was said that during the smelting, there was a mistake. Many things were lit, and the fire spread. The military workshop just created has been in ruins... "

   Wang Chen suddenly punched, hit the stone table in the pavilion, and shouted angrily.

   "A mistake? A mistake!"

   "Things happened one day after another, do you really think it is a coincidence?"

   "Even if it is a fleeting disadvantage, it is impossible for this king to lose all the major things he has to do in one day?"

   "You check it out for me! You must find out which **** is behind it, and you are determined to use this barbarous way to stop this king from acting?"

   "If you find out, no matter who he is, this king will definitely play against the emperor and punish him!"

   He roared for a while, but still not angry, stretched out his hand to sweep, and swept all the tea utensils on the stone table in the pavilion to the ground, smashing to pieces.

   The black-clothed man was trembling. He had followed Wang Chen for many years, and he had also seen Wang Chen lose his attitude, but in recent years, Chen Wang's heart of the city has become more and more stable.

   "Wang Ye..."

   There was another voice coming from outside. UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com

  Whether it is Wang Chen or the man in black, it is inevitable to mention it again.

   Wang Chen gritted his teeth and said: "What's the matter? This king was ordered to carry out three of the four major events, all of which were destroyed, but one of the New Deals has not been implemented yet. How can the other party destroy it?"

   The man in black wanted to dismiss the person outside the courtyard, but he heard the voice, but it was not the confidant of Wang Chen who came with him. It was Master Zhao from Fengcheng, and he fell silent at the moment. After hiding in the rockery, he did not show up.

   Wang Chen calmed down a little, and said, "Come in."

   The man outside the door hurried in, and it was the **** just now again.

   just after the previous events, he seemed a little cringed at the moment, seeing the fragments of tea set all over the floor, it was even more shocking.

   There is a lot of uneasiness in this guard at the moment. He used to be in awe, but now he is mostly afraid.

   "What's the matter?" Chen Wang calmly asked, "Is it because my king's eighty-five people were killed in an ambush, have you found any clues?"

   "Return to the prince." The guard hurriedly responded: "There are no other clues at the scene, but in another place, some burnt paper ash was found. There is something in the paper ash."

   "What's the matter?" Wang Chen felt even more uncomfortable when he heard the words "paper ashes". In all likelihood, these 35 craftsmen surveyed the records of waterways.

   "This thing is very strange, but..." The officer hesitated very much.

   "But how?"

"However, the Zhuang firm came to report this morning. A few days earlier, a truck of their cargo was robbed by a brood of bandits in Huaibei. The token left at that time was quite similar to the token in the ashes." The officer was cautious. Tao.

"what did you say?"

   Wang Chen stood up suddenly and shouted: "Zhuang's firm?"
