Chapter 1115 Cai Mao Investigates the Case
()...,
After checking the information, Xu Chen put the paper in the water and crushed it.
"My lord is indeed very human."
Xu Chen kept thinking of two plans in his mind.
Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia to give Xu Chen an order and made two plans.
Xu Chen stayed alone in the study for two hours, and he didn't go to bed until late at night.
Waking up early the next morning, Xu Chen didn't bother to eat, and went through the plan several times in his mind again.
An hour after dawn, Cai Mao sent someone to summon them.
Cai Mao summoned them almost every day to discuss matters with them, and they were used to it.
On this day, Cai Mao received news that Zhang Yu had increased his troops again, and Zhang Yu increased his troops by another 50,000.
At this time, Zhang Yu had established several large camps around Xiangyang, and had completely blocked the connection between Xiangyang and several other places.
It seems that the war is about to begin.
Cai Mao said to the crowd: "Zhang Yu has mobilized nearly 500,000 troops, and I am afraid that the war will soon begin. You all have a way to defeat the enemy."
Asking how to defeat the enemy is what Cai Mao asks every day, and he still has a little luck in his heart.
If there is a way, he can keep his throne, keep his glory and wealth.
However, there was a moment of silence.
Cai Mao sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "We are fully prepared. There are nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses. Xiangyang City is strong. Now with the help of Cao Mengde, Xiangyang City is as solid as gold."
Cai Mao had no choice but to cheer up his subordinates.
Everyone didn't expose Cai Mao, they all believed the old man's nonsense.
After a while, everything that should be said has been said, and all things that should be discussed have also been discussed.
Cai Mao was about to announce his disbandment and go home after school, but Xu Chen stood up.
"Report to the lord, I heard something in the public, it is of great importance,
Also ask the prince to investigate. "Xu Chen came out and said.
Cai Hao paused, then returned to normal, raised his hand and said: "What is it, tell me."
"My subordinates have heard that a captain guarding the city at the east gate is extremely dissatisfied with the current situation. He believes that our army will be defeated and spread the theory of surrender. The subordinates think this matter is very important. This person is still the master's relative, and the influence will be even worse. Please also ask the lord to personally arrange for trusted people to investigate." Xu Chen said.
Cai Mao was furious, knocked off the teacup on the table and said angrily, "It really happened?"
With the army pressing down on the border, Cai Mao was driven almost crazy. How could he not be angry when he heard that someone was cheating on him.
"There are many rumors in the market, my lord must carefully check to see if someone is deliberately spreading rumors to alienate our army, or it is true." Xu Chen said.
Xu Chen's words were so clever that Cai Mao had no choice but to investigate.
Whether it's rumors or the real thing, it's very serious.
Cai Mao nodded, he had calmed down and knew how to deal with this matter.
Everyone didn't dare to talk too much, this matter was too taboo.
Captain Dongmen is also his relative, and Cai Mao will know who it is immediately.
It's a child of his cousin's family, and he arranged it by himself.
In other words, Cai Mao arranged many of his relatives to serve in the army, which helped him control the army.
Cai Mao announced its disbandment.
After everyone left, Cai Mao called his personal guard commander and said, "You and Cai He will immediately investigate secretly the East Gate Colonel Wang Li. Don't cause panic, and don't let too many people know."
The commander of the personal guard is an old retainer of the Cai family, and has followed the Cai family for three generations, Cai Mao believes it very much.
The commander of the personal guard, given the surname Cai, followed their surname Cai when he was young, and grew up in Cai's parents.
Commander Cai went to Cai He, a brother and son of the Cai Mao clan, and the two began to investigate.
After investigating for a long time, I went back to report to Cai Mao that night.
Cai Mao received the two in the study.
"How's it going?"
Cai Mao is very concerned about this matter.
"My lord, my subordinates have already found some clues. This Wang Li has indeed publicly spread unfavorable news about our army many times. He also made preparations for several good families to sell all their property. It is best to replace it with Zhang Yu." bank notes."
"Recently, every night, he went to the restaurant to accept the banquet. Three days ago, he had a big quarrel with a county lieutenant named Liu Liang, claiming that he would kill him."
Commander Cai told Cai Mao the results of the investigation. Cai Mao was furious and coughed continuously: "Beast, if it weren't for this king, his Wang Li is nothing, and now he dares to do this."
Cai He, who was on the side, persuaded: "My lord, calm down. This kind of person should be severely punished, otherwise the impact will be huge. My subordinates suggest that my lord continue to investigate. This matter may not be that simple."
Cai Mao drank two sips of water, then said slowly: "You guys continue to investigate, and you must investigate clearly. In addition, go to that man named Liu Liang, and find out why the two clashed, and whether someone deliberately framed Wang Li."
The two took orders and left.
This Liu Liang escaped back, so he lived in the inn, and there was only one person.
Such people are easy to deal with, just take the secret away.
That night, Commander Cai took the badge of the palace and quietly brought Liu Liang into the side room of the palace in the middle of the night without attracting anyone's attention.
"I'm here to ask you, if you answer honestly, if you dare to lie, you will die a miserable death." Commander Cai said in a low voice.
This Liu Liang trembled all over with fright, and then said: "My lord, please excuse me, little one"
"Okay, let me ask you, you had a conflict with Wang Li, the captain of the city guard, and had a fierce quarrel, what's the matter?" Commander Cai asked.
This Liu Liang was so frightened that he trembled again, and then said: "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me. The younger one later found out that he is a relative of the prince, and he regretted it very much. He went to apologize to him twice, but Wang Li didn't see the younger one at all. I just accepted the villain's compensation."
This time, Liu Liang spoke neatly, but he was also scared out of it.
Commander Cai frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
"I didn't ask you this, tell me, what happened that day, why did you quarrel?"
Liu Liang was frightened and couldn't speak clearly for a while, then Commander Cai asked him to wait for a long time before he said: "That day, it was originally a banquet, and several families invited villains to go, and General Wang of the day was also invited List."
"It's normal at first, but when the villain said that Zhang Yu is a devil, if he fails, his family property will be confiscated, and we are not allowed to own land. A family can only be 50 mu at most. At this time, General Wang scolded the villain He was a coward, and the villain was also short-tempered at the time, drank a little wine, and called him a traitor, maybe he colluded with Zhang Yu."
"The villain really didn't do it on purpose. After drinking and talking, the general Wang almost killed the villain. He was furious at that time, dropped the cups and chopsticks, and finally flipped the table over."
"At that time, there were several other people who ate with us. I remember their names, adults can investigate."
This Liu Liang explained everything and explained the process in detail.
Commander Cai asked the soldiers to guard Liu Liang and prevent him from contacting anyone.
Commander Cai always felt that something was wrong when he left the room.
