Yuwen Chengchao sneered, and said: "You are not clear about the tricks on the racecourse. From the day the racecourse was established, there were two horse brochures. One is true and the other is fake. The book was used to deal with the Imperial Palace and the imperial court. Only the real horse book can figure out the number of horses on the horse farm. It’s just that... even I, I have never seen a real horse book until now."
Ning Zhifeng nodded and said: "The eldest son is right. The old man gave the horse farm to his uncle Meng, and the real horse book is in his hands. The horse farm has to offer four to the court every year. Hundreds of good horses will be sold privately. Horse dealers in Guannei take at least a few hundred horses from the horse farm every year. Newborn horse calves or horses that die of illness each year, or even run away from the horse farm, these accounts are not managed. At the racecourse, outsiders can’t make a clear noise."
"In the past few years, Master Hou has left many things to Uncle Meng and others to do. The number of racecourses depends on the horse booklet presented by Uncle Meng." Zhao Yi whispered, "Say no. It is not certain whether the horse book presented by Uncle Meng to Lord Hou is true or not."
The faces of all the people present are solemn.
Qin Xiao thought that Yu Wen Chengchao had suffered such a big loss this time, and with his temperament, of course it was impossible to let it go.
The Tusun people are riding Xiling horses. Everyone knows that there is a strangeness behind this. Of course, Yuwen Chengchao will not bear this tone, and he will definitely find a way to find out the real murderer behind the scenes, and grab the evidence. Make trouble again.
He is depressed now. In addition to breaking a few brothers under his hands, it is also because he knows that someone wants to attack him, but he has no evidence to retaliate against him.
"By the way, Grandpa, what can the Tusun people who caught back explain?" Fat Yu suddenly asked.
Yuwen Chengchao said: "Master and I interrogated him together. According to what he said, I just obeyed the order." After a pause, he continued: "This group of people detoured to Wutuo from the Moxi grassland, and then He came to Xiling from the outer gate of Kunlun."
"It turned out to be from the west." Fat fish nodded slightly.
The Moxi grassland borders the territory of the Wutuo people, and there will be conflicts between the two sides, but there is no war. Both the Wutuo people and the Tusun people feel that the other party’s materials are barren and it is not worth the effort. Only Tang The empire and Xiling are rich in products, and that's the place worth fighting for and looting.
"They are a small tribe in the Moxi grassland. Last year, this tribe was annexed during the tribal fight." Yu Wencheng said: "This group escaped and has been running around in the Moxi grassland. Later They were hunted down and hid in the territory of the Wutuo people. Originally, they had no food and clothing, and they could only rob and make a living in Wutuo territory, but they were also chased and killed by the Wutuo people."
Dapeng suddenly said: "I heard that Tusun Durhu's tribe has been rising day by day. A few years ago, a new patriarch was elected. This man is as vicious as a wolf but cunning as a fox. In just a few years, The southern grasslands have annexed many tribes. There are also rumors that this new patriarch is the chosen son of the Tusun people and wants to unify all the Tusun tribes."
"The son of a shit-chosen." Zhao Yi sneered: "It was just a group of barbarians. The 200,000 army went south, and in the end it was not turned into a group of birds and beasts, but a group of mobs. This group of people can't beat Datang, so they can only themselves People kill themselves."
Yuwen Chengchao said: "Don't worry about them. These Tusun people looted in the territory of the Wutuo people, naturally they can't please, they have been chased and killed by the Wutuo people. Suddenly their leader got a fortune. Yinzi, and then the group entered Kunlun Pass in batches
Afterwards, they gathered at the agreed place. The prisoners confessed, and the leader told them that they entered the customs because they were hired by others. They would take my life, and there would be more money to take. But apart from the leader, no one else knew who the target of the attack was. "
"Employed by someone?" Ning Zhifeng sneered: "Able to hire a group of Tusun people to sell their lives, naturally, money is indispensable."
"They had been lurking for more than a month. Someone provided them with horses and weapons." Yuwen Chengchao was very calm at this time and said slowly: "Just yesterday, someone told them that the leader was attacking. The place and time of the killing, so they went straight to us to kill last night." With a sneer, "But after going up the mountain, their leader was shot and killed by me soon. Without the leader, they were all scattered, but they wanted to complete the task. When it comes to silver, I have to catch up."
"I didn't get the silver, and my life was gone." Zhao Yi sneered: "My son, did the prisoner confess who hired them?"
Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "He is really just a little guy, I don't know much."
"The identity of the eldest son is extraordinary." Dapeng said: "Moreover, the eldest son is a man of righteousness and wealth, and he is also kind to others. There are not many enemies, let alone anyone who spends so much effort trying to take the life of the eldest son. ."
"Dapeng is right." Fat Yu agreed: "On the ground of Xiling, there are not too many people who want to harm the eldest son, and those who dare to take action are even rarer."
Ning Zhifeng said: "I'm just a strange thing."
"What?"
"There are not a few bandits in the three counties of Xiling." Ning Zhifeng said: "Although several bands of bandits were wiped out, Shao said that there are still more than a dozen bandits who flinched. In recent years, they have had a respite. Many of the opportunities have regained their vitality. When we joined forces with the government to suppress the bandits, the grandsons did not dare to show up. They naturally hated us."
"Crazy man, what do you want to say?" Zhao Yi urged: "Speak faster, let's talk about Tusun people, what are you talking about the bandits? Don't talk about it."
Fat Yu glanced at Zhao Yi and said: "I don't have a good brain, so I just shut my mouth and listen to others."
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything.
"If you want to attack and kill the eldest son, wouldn't it be more convenient to find those robbers?" Ning Zhifeng deliberately slowed down: "That group hates Yuwen's family, even if they don't give it. Silver, if there is a chance to kill the eldest son, they may also take action. If they are hired heavily, the dogs will definitely agree. Xiling Pirates are mostly good equestrians, and they hide in the mountains all the year round. If they really take the shot, Bitusun People are more confident."
"The madman makes sense." Fat Yu nodded: "It takes a lot more energy to hire Tusun people. You have to find this group from Wutuo, and when they come to Xiling, you have to find a way to help. They hide their deeds from being discovered. If you directly hire thieves, it will be more convenient and more secure."
Yuwenchengchao smiled faintly: "There is only one reason."
"The eldest son is saying that if you hire robbers, it is easier to find out who is behind the scenes?" Dapeng asked.
Yuwen Chengchao said: "Xiling bandits are much more cunning than the Tusun people, and they know the situation in Xiling better. Although the bandits are bold, but if they come to me, they will still consider the consequences, at least they must get it. Be clear, who exactly hired them."
Everyone nodded slightly.
"Once the attack fails, the bandits may not be tight-lipped." Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "And those bandits have never been faithful at all. Even if they succeed, there is no guarantee that they will not use this as a threat and continue to blackmail in the future." He picked up the wine bowl and drank it with his head up, then put down the wine bowl and said: "In comparison, the Tusun people have a much better reputation. They take money to do things. The captives don’t know who the target is, which proves that their leader is indeed. Very particular, or that the leader doesn’t care who hires them, only how much money he can get."
Zhao Yi clenched a fist and said: "So the black hand behind the scenes is worried that we can find evidence and be able to find out who he is, so we will try our best to hire Tusun people to start."
"If those horses were from our racecourse...!" Dapeng said halfway, but did not continue.
All the people present were slightly discolored, but Yuwen Chengchao seemed quite calm.
Qin Xiao didn't interrupt from beginning to end, but he heard what several people said clearly.
Undoubtedly, Dapeng did not finish speaking, naturally because of scruples.
He already knows that the direct cause of Yu Wen Chengchao’s exclusion in the Hou Mansion is because Madam Qiong and Young Master Yuwen are favored, and Uncle Meng and Madam Qiong are likely to be brothers and sisters, otherwise they would not be called. Uncle, even if you guessed wrong, the two have no sibling relationship, but from the words of the master, it can be completely judged that Uncle Meng and Madam Qiong are on the same line.
The fight between the Yuwen brothers, like all the heirs of the big family, is to fight for the purpose of secretly fighting, nothing more than to obtain the inheritance and control of the family.
Although Yuwen Chengchao has fallen in the midst of this battle, he is the eldest son after all. According to clan habits and common sense, Yuwen Chengchao has the qualifications for inheritance. This is why even if Mrs. Qiong’s faction has the upper hand, But he didn't dare to take it lightly, he was inevitably hostile towards Yuwen Chengchao.
The most important thing is that Yuwen Chengchao moved out of the Hou Mansion. It can be seen that the fight between the two parties was really fierce, and there is no brotherhood between each other, and they will only regard each other as enemies.
No matter who eventually inherits the title, the other person is bound to be even more miserable.
In other words, if there is a change in the future and Yuwen Chengchao inherits the title, of course Mrs. Qiong and Young Master will not have a good life.
Uncle Meng is in charge of the racecourse, and it's Mrs. Qiong's faction. If Tusun's horses were transferred from Yuwen's racecourse, then behind this attack, it is likely that Mrs. Qiong's affiliation cannot be separated.
Qin Xiao believes that these people, including Yuwen Chengchao, must be suspicious of Mrs. Qiong and Young Master in their hearts, but after all, there is no evidence in their hands. This matter is very important, and there is no real evidence. It must not be easily said. .
The room was silent, when the door was knocked suddenly, and everyone looked at the door.
Just now Ning Zhifeng closed the door for the convenience of talking inside. According to reason, he should not dare to be disturbed by anyone. He heard the door being knocked continuously. Ning Zhifeng got up and opened the door. Ning Zhifeng rushed in directly, carrying a silver flagon in his hand, swept around, saw Yu Wen Chengchao, pointed his finger at the eldest son, and smiled drunkly: "The eldest son, you really came, you But I haven’t come here for many days. I just heard them say that you are coming today. I thought they were talking and laughing. Come and take a look."
