Steel Dynasty - Chapter 67

[Chapter 67 Wang Xuan]

“Your Highness, the person I am looking for is on the way here, but this person is a local. His name is Wang Xuan.”

Pang Yukun said.

“Wang Xuan? Why do I seem to have heard of this man?” Xiao Ming asked strangely.

“Your Highness, you still remember that when Qin Chuanyun sued Wang Chengchou, there was a scapegoat.” Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming remembered that at that time, Wang Chengchou put all the blame on a man named Wang Xuan, clearly treating him as a scapegoat, and he also said that the Wang family’s affairs should be handled by themselves, “Well, I still remember.”

“That’s right .”

It was this Wang Xuan. After Wang Chengchou returned, he punished Wang Xuan’s family for hiding cattle. He punished Wang Xuan with a heavy punishment and beat Wang Xuan until he fainted. Then he asked his servants to tie Wang Xuan’s hands and feet with rocks and sink him into the Tuojiang River. But this boy was lucky. The two servants were lazy and didn’t tie him up. He woke up in the water, broke free from the stone, and floated down the river. I was inspecting farming by the Tuojiang River that day, so I fished him out. At that time, he There is only one breath left. “

Xiao Ming said suspiciously, “This Wang Chengchou is a cruel person, but what does Wang Xuan have to do with the secret guard?”

“Your Highness, since ancient times, the best candidate for the secret guard is the desperate person. Pang Yukun said slowly.

Xiao Ming thought for a while, and Pang Yukun’s words seemed to make sense. Now that Wang Xuan had died once, he absolutely hated the Wang family, and the Wang family was the target of his dismemberment sooner or later.

If Wang Xuan is given a way out at this time, he will definitely be grateful and will try his best to help him deal with the Wang family.

He smiled and said: “Pang Changshi has thought deeply, and I am ashamed of myself.”

The two of them are used to complimenting each other. Pang Yukun just smiled and said: “Your Highness seems to have figured it out, but if you can make the king Xuan is working for His Highness without letting the Wang family recognize him.”

“This is a problem, but it is not difficult for me. I asked the Equipment Department to make a mask for him. What do you think? ?” Xiao Ming said.

“Well, Wang Xuan is a secret guard. He should live under a mask. I will ask Wang Xuan again when I go back. If he is determined, I will bring him to His Highness tomorrow.” Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming nodded. He had been busy building the industrial foundation during this period, but he had forgotten about settling down and settling down as a vassal king.

This army is one of them. Now he is about to equip his army with plate armor. This will take time. The other is the secret guard, which is the so-called intelligence system.

In any era, hindsight is extremely scary. It would be better if he didn’t understand what his neighbor King Wei was doing now, and King Wei probably knew exactly what he was doing. This is very sad.

After agreeing on the establishment of a secret guard, Pang Yukun returned to his house.

This is a courtyard just across the street from Prince Qi’s Mansion. Back in the courtyard, Pang Yukun’s wife Sun and her five-year-old daughter were playing.

Mrs. Sun was just an ordinary-looking woman. Seeing Pang Yukun come back, she said, “Husband, the food is ready. It’s time to eat.”

Pang Yukun entertained her daughter for a while and said, “Call Wang Xuan over.”

Mrs. Sun ordered She nodded, and Wang Xuan was brought back by Pang Yukun. More than a month had passed, and her body had recovered to some extent. She went to the right wing and called out, and a young man dressed as a scholar, with a pale face and a mole on his eyebrows left. come out.

“Ahem, Pang Changshi.” Wang Xuan coughed a few times, his body still a little weak.

Pang Yukun went over and helped Wang Xuan into the main hall. The two sat down at the dining table, and Mrs. Sun went to play with her daughter in her arms. Men and women in Chongqing did not sit at the same table, so Mrs. Sun always ate after the two of them.

“Sanlang, I have already told His Highness about you. If you want to live now, you can only follow His Highness. Wang Chengchou has hands and eyes in Qingzhou. If you leave, you will definitely not be able to get out of the city alive.” Pang Yukun said.

There are three brothers, Wang Chengchou. Wang Xuan is the third son of Wang Chengchou’s second brother, Wang Chengheng. His mother is just an ordinary maid in the palace. Wang Chengheng gave birth to him because of drunken sexual intercourse.

From the royal family to the common people in the Dayu Kingdom, children have always been valued by their mothers, and mothers are valued by their children. Naturally, Wang Xuan is not welcomed in the Wang family. He has been bullied by the Wang family’s children since he was a child, and now he has become a scapegoat.

“Chief Pang, you picked up my life. Now that I, Wang Xuan, am dead, I don’t care about anything anymore. I just hope that I can see Wang Chengchou, the thief, be punished in my lifetime!” Wang Xuan said in a hateful voice. Pang Yukun

nodded secretly, “In this case, I will introduce you to His Highness tomorrow. From now on, Wang Xuan will be dead, and you will only be His Highness’s shadow in the future.”

“But according to Chief Pang’s orders.” Wang Xuan looked firm. .

He hated Wang Chengchou and the Wang family. It was said that the day after he was born, his biological mother was kicked out of the Wang family by Wang Chengchou on the pretext of seducing Wang Chengheng and sold to a slave trader. He still doesn’t know what her mother looks like.

And after living in the Wang family for nineteen years, he was not even as good as a servant.

“Well, I feel relieved now.” Pang Yukun said happily.

In the horse smuggling case, Xiao Ming only saw the problem with Chai Lingwu, but Pang Yukun saw something more. King Wei was the most timid among the vassal kings, so smuggling a few horses for his own entertainment was a big deal. Normal, but under his secret investigation, King Wei actually smuggled 3,000 high-quality grassland war horses in the past five years.

This can only explain one problem. The battle for the throne of the Great Yu Kingdom is probably not as simple as a battle between princes, but involves six kings with different surnames.

Back then, six kings with different surnames followed Xiao Yuanzhi to conquer the country of Chongqing. Xiao Yuanzhi fulfilled his promise to rule the world together. The six kings with different surnames received the throne and fiefs. Over the past hundred years since the founding of the country, it has been like a country within a country.

However, as the fiefdoms of the royal family of Dayu continued to be squeezed by the northern barbarians, the imperial power gradually declined, and the six kings with different surnames gradually began to despise the royal family.

The deep friendship between Xiao Yuanzhi and the six kings with different surnames at that time had long gone with the passing of that generation, and the kings with different surnames who now succeeded to the vassal throne did not have so much affection for the royal family.

If something goes wrong in this battle for the throne, the consequences will be serious.

The King of Wei was timid, but extremely smart. He was probably preparing just in case. As for whether this preparation was his own idea or a hint from someone, it is hard to say yet.

Therefore, he asked Xiao Ming to form a secret guard to grasp all kinds of news in the country of Chongqing as soon as possible, so that Xiao Ming would not be caught off guard.

However, based on his judgment, as long as Xiao Wenxuan did not die, these princes would not dare to go too far. After all, Xiao Wenxuan was also an emperor who came out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, and these princes could not escape his control.
