Checks and balances.

The local gentry is old and adds chips to the relatives of the foreigners.

The relatives of the foreign countries are too powerful and they are using tricks to the eunuchs.

When the eunuch had a problem, the Qingliu gentry came to criticize...

Everything is for checks and balances.

The emperor is the top verdict. All the purposes are to maintain the balance of the Liu family's world, but in fact nothing can achieve permanent balance. Even if it is temporary stability, there is still undercurrent under the water.

The same is true for Sichuan and Shu and Little Huaxia. Everyone seems to be trying to maintain balance, but at the same time they are threatening others, saying that they have the power to break the balance.

Wu Yi's idea did not leave this category either.

Dongchuan, local, and southern barbarians are like a triangle balance.

But suppressing one side will inevitably cause expansion of the other side.

You have to endure the suppressed counterattack.

Xu Shu was obviously smart enough. He discovered this problem very early, so he needed someone to do this troublemaker...

Wu Yi said that he was willing to do this troublemaker, but it was obvious that he did not gain Xu Shu's full trust.

Wu Yi gritted his teeth.

From a certain perspective, General Husband is now planning a rebellion.

The new people's livelihood system, the new official system, and the new military structure are all different from the original Han Dynasty.

This is like a dynasty change.

Change of dynasties is against the will of heaven and has always been enemies of the world.

Well, it is an enemy of those who have vested interests in the world.

To break the balance of the original vested interests, it will naturally be criticized by thousands of people...

Until one day, everyone finds that this conspirator can bring more hope, more benefits, and better resource allocation methods to everyone, and then the people in the world will immediately change their words and kneel down at the conspirator's knees and call him dad.

『Now... there are a few things...』 Wu Yi's eyes became a little cold, 『First, I sent someone to spread the story of me meeting Xu Jun...』

"Secondly, I'm going to arrest Du..."

"Is it a reason... I just say that Du's rumors caused trouble..."

...

...

In the yard of Erdao Street, Chengdu, Yang Song was sitting in the middle of the hall, listening to his subordinates’ return and inquiries.

"I heard that another convoy of grain transporters has set off... It seems that this time I am going to fight with Jiangdong people in Yufu... and... I also... I saw Wu's son go to find Xu Envoy..."

The peak of panic that Jiangdong invaded Sichuan and Sichuan has actually passed.

No one can continue to panic for a whole year. When the Jiangdong people first entered, many people in Sichuan were worried. They were once panicked and the market was depressed. However, a few days, more than ten days, and a month passed. Without seeing the Jiangdong people, everyone's emotions naturally calmed down and the market also restored its original vitality.

War and politics belong to a few people after all, and more people's lives are still focused on food and drink.

"The young man later asked... I heard that Wu from Cheguancheng is engaged in the affairs of Yizhou Sizhi, and said that he wanted to arrest Du Shi and was involved in the case. What was the crime of spreading rumors and causing trouble..."

『Oh?』 Yang Song raised his eyebrows, 『When did it happen?"

"Just just now..."

Yang Song pondered, then smiled, "Since there is wind and thunder, it will be rain and snow..."

...

...

evening.

While Xu Shu was still reviewing the documents, he heard someone running in the corridor hurriedly and pounced on the hall with sweat on his head and reported: "Encourt! No, someone is assassinating in the city!"

Xu Shu put down his pen, but his tone did not fluctuate much. "Who was assassinated?"

"Che Guancheng Wu is engaged in!" The minor official reported that Wu Yi's job was still in Che Guancheng, and he temporarily added the title of Si Zhi Assistant, so the minor official still called his original position.

Xu Shu's mouth raised slightly, and then quickly recovered from stability. "Can there be casualties?"

"Wu was killed and injured by a servant... Wu was not injured... After the assassination of the thief, he jumped into the water without seeing any trace..." The minor official reported.

Xu Shu nodded. Before he could say something, another minor official came in a hurry. He looked up and saw that one of them had already bowed down from the hall. He couldn't help but be stunned and asked in a low voice: "Is it a matter of assassination?"

The first little official who came nodded.

Later, the little official said oh and was about to turn around and leave.

Since it was reported to the assassination, someone said it first, so there was no need for him to repeat it again.

But Xu Shu was in the hall and felt aroused in his heart, "Stop... Is Wu engaged in the assassination?"

The little official who came behind was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Ah? Wu Chengshi was stabbed too? No, I want to report that Du was stabbed in Hongshanfang..."

『Who?!" Xu Shu frowned, 『Du Wei and Du Guofu?"

The minor official behind nodded and replied, "It was. Du, on the way home in Hongshanfang, was stabbed by a thief and seriously injured. He was rushed to the hospital. At that time, the city was in chaos and the thief took the opportunity to escape. The horse thief Cao was leading people to search..."

The second minor official was reporting, and suddenly heard footsteps coming in a hurry.

Xu Shu, including Xu Shu, turned around and looked. Another minor official was so anxious that his hat was a little tilted. He walked forward while holding it. When he saw Xu Shu and others, he turned around and looked, and his body shrank back, "Uh...this..."

"What's the matter with you?" Xu Shu asked.

"Report to the envoy, there are thieves assassinating!" The third minor official who came reported.

"Ah? It's an assassination again?"

"Who is the assassination? Wu is engaged in it? Or Zi Tong Du?"

The first two minor officials couldn't help but ask.

The third little official shook his head blankly, then reacted, his face turned pale, "Wu Chengshi and Du Zitong were also stabbed?"

Xu Shu frowned, "Who is your side?"

The third minor official reported: "The envoy is the Yang family in Linjiang... The son of Yang family was stabbed by thieves at Shifangkou. Although he was guarded by a servant, he was too injured and died soon after he returned..."

"Dead?" Xu Shu asked.

The third clerk nodded.

Xu Shu frowned.

Wu Yi was assassinated. Wu Yi was not injured, and his servants were killed and injured.

Du Wei was also assassinated and injured.

Yang Song was also assassinated and died.

Such a coincidence?

Another sound of footsteps came, and Xu Shu stared at him. Seeing that Fa Zheng was coming, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiaozhi, who else was assassinated?"

Fa Zheng walked to the hall and as he advanced, he said, "No... I just heard that these three people were assassinated..."

Xu Shu nodded, and then said to the minor official in the hall: "Transfer orders, add more posts in the four gates, strictly investigate people entering and leaving the streets, etc.! If the soldiers stationed in the streets are intent to be in chaos, they will be killed without mercy!"

The clerk answered, and then went down quickly to pass the order.

Xu Shu was silent for a while and stroked his beard, "This is a bit strange."

The first thing Xu Shu considered was the spies in Jiangdong. But the problem was that after Jiangdong marched, Xu Shu carried out a large-scale cleanup and thorough investigation, and cleaned up the hidden spies in Chengdu. Although there would inevitably be fish that missed the net, the problem was that if they really wanted to assassinate Wu Yi, Du Wei and Yang Song, what was the point of assassinating Wu Yi, Du Wei and Yang Song?

Xu Shu himself was in the official camp and could not find the opportunity to assassinate among the numerous guards. It is understandable.

But in Chengdu, is there a more important assassination target than Wu Yi, Du Wei and Yang Song?

Mr. Dong He, just take one arrow and finish it...

There is also the Fazheng in front of you...

Therefore, it is indeed possible that the Jiangdong spies did it, but the possibility is not very high. After all, if it is really done by the Jiangdong spies, it would be equivalent to alerting the enemy. Moreover, the people killed have too little impact on the entire Jiangdong war situation, which is completely a business that is not proportional to the input-output, and even if you have a little brain, you will not do it.

So, who would do it if the possibility of Jiangdong spies was ruled out?

"Xiaozhi, what do you think?" Xu Shu asked.

Fa Zheng pondered, "Now the three people were assassinated. The time is different. Wu was the first to work, Du Guofu was the last... Then Wu Ziyuan was fine, well, he couldn't say it was fine, but he was not injured himself, but the Yangzi of Linjiang died..."

Fa Zheng thought, then smiled and raised his eyebrows, as if he had found a very interesting toy, "Eunuch... It seems that someone wants to play a good game of chess with us..."

Xu Shu also smiled and nodded, "Since the opponent has made a move, then... it should be done!"
