The Golden Age Chapter 9: Traitor

The eyes of the King of Taihu suddenly appeared sharp, like a blade.

"The Jiangnan family wants to borrow the hand of the court to eradicate the fishermen in Taihu Lake. If Qin Xiao hadn't found the flaws, then the seven surnames in Jiangnan have already begun to encircle you Taihu King." Gu Baiyi's voice was calm and slow. Said: "Qiao Shenggong was arrested in the Chunfeng Tower. I guessed that the group you sent must have been a rape, and Tu Kuohai's situation is extremely dangerous, so Tu Kuohai hurriedly left the inn. In fact, they had just left, and the prefect of Suzhou Liang Jiangyuan was behind. Just bring people to kill."

The King of Taihu sneered and said: "They are worried that Tu Kuohai will come forward to defend, so they will kill people."

"Qian Xiao's plan was seen through by Qin Xiao, so I had to do it in advance." Gu Baiyi said, "Sk Yue has just arrived in Suzhou. If it hadn't been for Qin Xiao, Mok had already fallen into the hands of Qian's family." There was a pause. He sighed: "Musk Moon is a direct line of the Li family. If the Jiangnan family uses her as the banner, the Jiangnan Three States Division will be famous, and many forces will surrender to the Jiangnan family for their own interests. If it is such a situation, Kyoto will also It may not be able to calm Jiangnan."

"Why didn't Sheyue go to Bali Lake with you?" The King of Taihu frowned, "You let Tu Kuohai pass the book over, and let me send someone to meet at Bali Lake. Zhong Bufan has been waiting at Balihu with people, I am this I thought you would go to Bali Lake with Musk Moon."

Gu Baiyi looked at the King of Taihu Lake and asked: "Would you like me to show her in Bali Lake?"

The King of Taihu pondered, without speaking.

"From the very beginning, she didn't come to Taihu for refuge in the two escape routes she chose." Gu Baiyi said calmly: "She doesn't trust you, and you don't want her to land on the island, you don't want it. She knows too much about Taihu Lake, and after she landed on the island, would you like to send troops?" He sighed, and said: "In fact, I was not completely sure that I could reach Balihu smoothly at that time."

Taihu Wang said calmly: "Brother is not even sure I will send someone to ambush in Balihu."

"Yes!" Gu Baiyi nodded very sincerely: "You are a person with a clear distinction between public and private. I know you hope that the fishermen of Taihu will avoid disputes. It’s not accidental to respond."

Taihu Wang smiled faintly and said: "I said, sending someone to pick you up, just because you are my senior."

Gu Baiyi sighed, and said: "Junior brother doesn't seem to understand what I mean."

"Oh?" King Taihu glanced at Gu Bai: "Brother, please enlighten me!"

"The point we are talking about is not on She Yue." Gu Baiyi said: "I'm talking about Qiao Shenggong."

The king of Taihu looked cold, and said: "Brother don't worry, what the fishermen of Taihu hate most is the traitor. Since Qiao Shenggong betrayed Taihu, he will naturally pay for it."

"You still didn't understand what I meant." Gu Baiyi said slowly: "Qiao Shenggong is one of your four generals. He should have a good understanding of the situation in Taihu Lake."

The king of Taihu frowned.

"The battle between Tang Jun and Queen Mother is inevitable." Gu Baiyi smiled faintly: "Thirty-seven islands in Taihu Lake can be watched coldly. Before this battle is over, neither the Tang Army nor the Queen Mother will come. It provokes Thirty-seven Islands in Taihu Lake, so you will be at peace for the time being." He sighed and said: "If this war is over, what situation do you think Thirty-Seven Islands in Taihu Lake will face?"

The King of Taihu laughed and said: "Brothers think that no matter which one of them wins, the next goal is Taihu?"

"If the imperial court wins, in the process of countering the rebellion, the 37th island in Taihu Lake will not move and did not cooperate with the Tang army to counter the rebellion. Do you think anyone in the court will make a mistake?" Gu Baiyi smiled and said, "The same reasoning

If the Queen Mother would really repel Tang Jun and control the entire Jiangnan, would they still tolerate the existence of Thirty-Seven Islands in Taihu? It is certainly not an easy task to attack Taihu Lake, but Qiao Shenggong has taken refuge in the Jiangnan family. He knows too much about the thirty-seven islands of Taihu Lake. You Taihu King knows very little about the Queen Mother, but they know you very well through Qiao Shenggong. , The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy is not dead, you should know the ending without saying. "

The King of Taihu didn't speak, his expression became somber.

Qiao Shenggong, who was put on the death list by the King of Taihu, is now in the governor's house in Suzhou.

The Taihu color general’s forehead was in cold sweat at this time. Qian Guanghan, who was sitting on the Grand Master’s chair, was looking at him with a gloomy look. Yuan Changling was sitting on a chair on the left with a cold expression. Qian returned to the court. He clenched his fists and stared at Qiao Shenggong's body like knives.

After a while, Qian Guanghan finally sighed and said: "General Qiao, the old man still trusts you, but why did Zhong Bufan ambush in Lake Bali? Who sent him the news?"

Qiao Shenggong's eyes twitched, almost crying: "Old lady, I really don't know why Zhong Bufan was in ambush. This matter really has nothing to do with me."

"Qiao Shenggong, these years you want silver for silver and women for women. There are three women in Suzhou City. In order to raise women for you, we have paid for you and bought three houses." Qian Gui Tingyi The face was annoyed: "Liu Commander has been in the ambush of your Taihu Pirates and shot by Zhong Bufan with an arrow. If you can't explain it clearly, I don't want to get out of this door today."

"Shut up." Qian Guanghan stopped in a deep voice, looked at Qiao Shenggong, and said mildly: "General Qiao, who is that person?"

"Who?" Qiao Shenggong was confused.

"The chasing soldiers came back to report that they were led to Balihu. The leader was a man who looked very gentle." Qian Guanghan stared at Qiao Shenggong and slowly said, "Who is that man? Are you from Taihu? ?"

Qiao Shenggong smiled bitterly: "Old lady, I have been staying at the prefectural office these days, and I don’t know anything about things outside. Only when I heard the old lady’s own words did I know that Commander Liu was shot, but I don’t understand. , How could Zhong Bufan ambush in Balihu."

Qian Guanghan winked at Yuan Changling. Yuan Changling picked up a scroll on the case table, opened it, and illuminated it in front of Qiao Shenggong: "This is a portrait that I personally described according to the description of the soldier returning. According to them, it is eight or nine points similar to that man. General Joe took a closer look. Is this someone on the island?"

Qiao Shenggong stared at the portrait for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have never seen this person."

"Really don't know?" Yuan Changling frowned: "Zhong Bufan met this person in Balihu, so he is very familiar with this person naturally. Who he knows, don't you know?"

"There are tens of thousands of people in Taihu Lake. I don't know everyone." Qiao Shenggong said affirmatively: "But there is no such person by Linghuxuan."

Yuan Changling and Qian Guanghan looked at each other before continuing to ask: "Have you had contact with Linghuxuan before She Yue came to Suzhou?"

"It shouldn't be there." Qiao Shenggong shook his head and said: "If Musk Moon really landed on the island, I wouldn't be ignorant."

Qian Guiting sneered and said: "What is supposed to be or not? If there is, there is, if there is not, there is no. Also, why didn't Sheyue and Qin appear in Balihu? Where did they go?"

"Second Young Master, I really don't know." Qiao Shenggong was so anxious that tears almost flowed out: "I follow the grandfather with all my heart, if I know, I will never conceal a single bit."

Qian Guiting stared at Qiao Shenggong. After a while, he finally said: "Are you telling the truth? It will be clear soon

. "Clapped his hands, and then saw someone enter the house, dressed in red like blood, but it was Qian Guiting's Starscream.

"Take him down and have a good chat." Qian Guiting said coldly.

Starscream smiled softly and walked to Qiao Shenggong, with a soft voice: "General Qiao, I have made tea, let's have a tea and chat."

When Qiao Shenggong saw Starscream, his face changed slightly. He didn't speak yet. He felt his waist and eyes numb, and his whole body was instantly weak. Starscream had grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him down like a dead dog.

Qian Guanghan's face is no longer light and windy at this time, and his eyes are even annoyed, and he sneered: "The old man knows that sooner or later Taihu thieves will be a scourge."

"The matter is very clear." Qian Guiting sneered: "We carefully designed, Zuoshi Linghuxuan is General Kuhai, logically speaking, when Musk arrives in Suzhou, it is time to deploy troops to encircle Taihu Pirates. But Musk As soon as I arrived in Suzhou, I knew everything. It must be Qiao Shenggong’s dog that betrayed us. Otherwise, how could She Yue be able to see through, and how could she escape quickly. Dad, Qiao Sheng function can betray us by selling Linghuxuan. It's time for a dog to chop it down."

Yuan Changling shook his head and said: "Second Young Master, if She Yue really knew that everything was planned by our Jiangnan family behind, it would be impossible to come to Suzhou, let alone enter Suzhou City. I personally think that She Yue is entering Before the city of Suzhou, I definitely knew nothing about everything." After a pause, he continued: "Qiao Shenggong has indeed been staying at the prefectural office these days. Just in case, he sent someone to stare at him secretly. He really didn't. When I went out, I didn’t contact other people, so it’s definitely not him who told the news."

"He didn't betray us?"

"At least in this matter, he really doesn't have any flaws." Yuan Changling said: "Now there are two questions. First, who is the man who lured Liu Hongju to Balihu? He and Linghuxuan. What's the relationship. Second, where is Musk Moon now?" After a pause, he continued: "If that man is a person sent by Linghuxuan, he must be trusted by Linghuxuan. Such a character, Qiao Shenggong will naturally It is impossible not to know each other, so I believe that he is not from Taihu Lake, but from Musk Moon."

"Musk Moon Man?"

"Musk Moon entered the city, quietly." Yuan Changling said: "When she entered the Cishi Mansion, she brought only four guards by her side. Afterwards, I sent someone to the pier and found the ship that Musk Moon came to Suzhou. , The ship looks very ordinary, I told people not to startle, so the people on the ship did not know that She Yue had fled Suzhou. We found out that there were eight guards and four maids on the ship, all dressed in disguise I thought I could hide it from others, and never left on the boat." Rolling up the scroll in his hand, he slowly said: "Musk Yue came to Suzhou, concealing everything from everyone, so that people do not know her fiction, so the subordinates thought that except Four guards escorted her to the Cishi Mansion, and She Yue also arranged another group of people in the city to respond, just in case."

Qian Guiting said: "You mean that man is the one that She Yue arranged to meet in the city?"

"Mok Yue is careful, this may be very big." Yuan Changling said: "After she entered the city and found that something was wrong, with the help of Qin Xiao, she adjusted Hu Lishan and used the **** surnamed Chen to draw our attention away, and then went with that The gang met and fled as a caravan. We only thought that Qin Xiao was the only one beside her, but she just used the pre-arranged person as a cover to escape from the city."

"What Changling said is extremely true." Qian Guanghan nodded and said: "It's just that Sheyue didn't go to Bali Lake with that man?"

Yuan Changling groaned slightly before saying: "There are two possibilities. First, the man deliberately led away the chasing soldiers, and Musk Moon had been taken to Taihu Lake by the Taihu Pirates. Second, the soldiers were divided into two groups, and the man hit the west. Attracting chasing soldiers, Qin Xiao escorted She Yue to Hangzhou."
