On Yuan Ji's side, he brought his personal guards and began to investigate the assassination case.
Since they suspected that it was done by the military, they naturally had to start investigating from the military.
He accepted this mission because he wanted to find out who was plotting against him.
On the other hand, he had understood Di Renjie's intentions and used the investigation to get a feel for the actual situation of Ji County's army.
Youzhou was an important town in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Empire was the foundation of the northeast region, so its military power was naturally not weak.
Other than fortresses like Juyong Pass, there were also a few defensive guards and military envoys.
Of course, the largest force was stationed in Ji County.
Every year and month, the soldiers of the local Zhechong Prefecture, plus the guards recruited by the imperial court,
There were also some united soldiers that gradually rose after the empress ascended the throne. They were the main composition of the current Ji City army.
"General Yuan!"
He led his bodyguards straight to the military camp at the northwest. The general in charge here...
They were the Wandering Cavalry Generals Hu Jinbao and Zhang Yong.
The two of them led the generals in the camp to welcome him, but their attitudes were not very friendly.
Especially that Hu Jinbao, his hostility was written all over his face.
"Didn't General Yuan receive orders to investigate the 'assassin'? Why do you have the time to come to the military camp?”
Hu Jinbao asked at the entrance of the camp.
Yuan Ji felt that this person's probing tone was a little interesting.
He stared at this person playfully and sighed faintly,"General Hu is really well-informed!”
Hu Jinbao's expression froze. Only then did he feel that he had said something wrong.
His eyes flickered. He was a rough man, but he didn't know how to answer.
"Someone actually dared to assassinate General Yuan.
General Yuan, if you need anything, please feel free to instruct me.
I'll definitely do my best to help. Once I catch the assassin, I'll definitely tear him into pieces!”
At this moment, Zhang Yong spoke up with an excited expression, as if he was fighting for justice for Yuan Ji.
"Thank you for your kindness, General Zhang," Yuan Ji said lightly.
"There is an assassin in the prison cell who is still alive, but he is seriously injured.
When he wakes up, I'll naturally be able to find out the truth!”
Yuan Ji's eyes darted around Zhang and Hu as he cupped his hands in the direction of the Governor's Office."
"I'm here on Governor Di's orders to inspect the various armies and encourage the soldiers!”
"I'll have to trouble the two generals to bring me around the camp."
Yuan Ji pointed at the military camp with a warm smile on his face.
"General, please!" Under the banner of "Governor of Youzhou",
The two of them, the lieutenant and the colonel had no choice but to politely agree with Yuan Ji.
Yuan Ji walked around in detail and asked several times,
After walking around the camp for two hours, before leaving, he smiled at Zhang and Hu,"
"Generals, you have led the troops well. I will definitely report the truth to the Viceroy!”
"In that case, I have to thank General Yuan for putting in a good word or two in front of the Viceroy."
Compared to Hu Jinbao, Zhang Yong was much more eloquent.
Yuan Ji and his group left, the hooves of the horses stirring up thick dust.
"This kid doesn't have good intentions!" Looking coldly at the figure gradually disappearing from his sight, Hu Jinbao said hatefully.
"Brother Hu, this Yuan Ji was eccentric and inquisitive.
Could he be suspicious?" Zhang Yong frowned.
Hu Jinbao's tone was filled with killing intent.
"In name, it's an encouragement, but in reality, it's spying on my military camp. Humph!"
As the two returned to the camp and chatted, a soldier ran in from outside the tent and reported respectfully,"
"Generals, Lord Sima Wu has arrived at the camp gate!”
"What is he doing here at this time?”As dusk approached, Zhang Yong was a little puzzled and muttered.
"Welcome him in."
The night soon enveloped the entire camp.
The troops that were sent out to carry out missions returned one after another.
Torches were slowly lit up in the camp, decorating the camp.
In this quiet summer night, it formed a beautiful picture.
"Did you really send someone to assassinate Yuan Ji?”In the tent, Wu Yizhi exclaimed.
Hu Jinbao nodded and admitted it directly.
Seeing his attitude, Wu Yizhi could not hide the anger in his heart. He said excitedly,
"Nonsense! When did Di Renjie appear in Youzhou Province?
He put pressure on the Provincial Governor everywhere.
If you act rashly at this time, wouldn't you be exposing yourself to them?”
"And you're so dirty. Do you think a few soldiers can kill Yuan Ji?
Use the people in the army, use the crossbows and knives in the army!”Wu Yizhi cursed.
At this time, he had already obtained some details about the assassination from the Governor's Office.
"Why didn't you stop him?" This was said to Zhang Yong.
Seeing this, Zhang Yong spread his hands.
"We just didn't expect that kid to be so difficult to deal with.
They had sent out their elites, but none of them had returned alive!”
Hearing this, Wu Yizhi flung his sleeves and said,""Foolish!"
"Wu Sima!" Hu Jinbao was obviously not easy to get along with. After being scolded by Wu Yizhi, he also lost his temper.
"What, still not convinced?" Wu Yizhi sneered,"
"Without the support of the higher-ups, how could you have gotten to your current status?
If your actions spoil the great business of the higher authorities,
What kind of ending do you think you will have?”
At the mention of "above", Zhang and Hu's expressions could not help but change.
Obviously, Li Qing Xia was a strong deterrent to them.
Thinking of the methods of the person behind this, Hu Jinbao could not help but sweat.
"Sima Wu, calm down!" Zhang Yong stood up and personally served him a bowl of tea.
"Since things have come to this, it's useless to be angry. We can only think of a way to resolve it!”
"Why did you assassinate Yuan Ji?" Seeing Zhang Yong's proper attitude,
Only then did Wu Yizhi suppress his anger and stare at Hu Jinbao.
"My brother Hu Rong can't die in vain!" Hu Jinbao clenched his fists and slammed them on the small table.
"He said that he was suddenly attacked and killed by an assassin.
I don't believe that Yuan Ji is involved in this.”
After learning the reason, Wu Yizhi cursed again,"Foolish!" How can you ignore the overall situation because of your own selfishness?”
"Di Renjie and Yuan Ji are already suspicious of the army.
What is the purpose of Dao Yuanji coming to the military camp?
Do you think you can hide it from the surviving soldier when he wakes up?
Now that Di Renjie has been transferred to Youzhou for military and political affairs, if you knew about this, would you still be able to live?”
Wu Yizhi's face was cold, and he spoke very quickly,
Seeing Hu Jinbao's gloomy expression, he could not help but ask in a deep voice,"How do you plan to resolve this?"
"Lord Sima, don't worry. That soldier won't have the chance to speak!”
Hu Jinbao said fiercely.
"That's for the best! You don't have much time left! Hurry up!"
With that, Wu Yizhi left the tent.
"Who the hell is this? A scholar dares to be so arrogant!”
Hu Jinbao cursed in his heart, but he could only mutter.
"Send someone to investigate the situation in the prison cell!”
After discussing with Zhang Yong for a moment, Hu Jin Bao called over a trusted aide and instructed.
