Neither these gentry and rich merchants themselves, nor their entourage, butlers and servants, fit the bill.
Li Wangyou frowned after receiving Dugufeng's report.
Could it be that his previous thinking was wrong?
It's not these squires in the city who are spying on Jiulong County?
But apart from these people, Li Wangyou really couldn't think of anyone who would benefit Jiulong County if it was breached by the Liao people.
What exactly is the criminal motive?
Needless to say, the bureaucrats outside the city must be tempted by the promise of great profits.
But what is the motive of the black hand behind the scenes?Who will benefit from Jiulong County being breached by the Liao people?
Li Wangyou's brains were filled with thoughts, but he didn't think of anyone who could benefit from it.
This is so unscientific!
He even suspected Wang Yichun, the Sima of Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and ordered Dugu Feng to investigate in private to see if there was any connection between Wang Yichun and Jiulong County.
But Dugu Feng ordered the yamen servants to investigate around and confirmed that Wang Yichun had nothing to do with the gentry and wealthy merchants in Jiulong County.
That is, there are no relatives, friends, or family members.
Wang Yichun just loves Pengzhou peonies. Whenever Pengzhou peonies are in bloom, he will come to Jiulong County to watch peonies when he is resting.
This time it happened to coincide with their meeting, so they were trapped in Jiulong County, just like Li Wangyou and the others.
Seeing this was the case, Li Wangyou didn't doubt Wang Yichun anymore.
Since the mastermind behind the scenes could not be caught for the time being, Li Wangyou didn't bother to continue to be a "detective" to solve the case.
In the past few days, the Liao people outside the city did not continue to attack the city, as if they were completely scared out of their nerve by those few explosives.
In fact, not to mention these bureaucrats, even the soldiers and young men on the city wall were not frightened by the power of the explosives.
Even the people of Jiulong County, after hearing about this incident, took out their incense burners, burned incense and kowtowed endlessly, thanking the "God of Thunder" for their protection.
The sound of thunder and thunder when the explosive package exploded, in the eyes of these people, it was the thunder god who sent down the wrath of thunder and killed those damned Liao people.
The stalemate between Jiulong County and the Liaoren tribe outside the city came to an end.
In the early morning of this day, when the sun rose as usual, the guards on the city wall were surprised to find that the figures of Liao people who flashed from time to time outside the city were no longer there.
There was silence in the woods outside the city.
After being notified, Li Wangyou and Dugufeng hurried over, seeing this situation, they were also very suspicious.
Did the Liao people give up their minds and retreat, or did they cast doubts?
After discussing for a while, the two simply ordered people to hang the hanging basket with ropes, and sent Yihuofu soldiers down the city wall to check the situation.
It didn't take much effort, the government soldiers came back to report the good news, those Liao people had all retreated, and the Liao people's camp in the woods was left in a mess.
After the news came back, it immediately attracted excited shouts from the soldiers and young men on the city wall.
This time, the crisis in Jiulong County was completely resolved.
Soon, another government soldier came to report, dust and smoke rose above the official road in the south of the city, and it seemed that a large group of cavalry was approaching.
This caused a burst of tension among the government soldiers and young men on the city wall.
Li Wangyou and Dugufeng looked at each other, but they didn't see any panic in each other's eyes.
The cavalry that can appear on the official road is undoubtedly the arrival of reinforcements from the Governor's Mansion of Yizhou!
Sure enough, without much effort, the cavalry team above the official road appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the Tang army flag fluttering high immediately caused the soldiers on the city wall to burst into cheers that shook the sky.
Dugu Feng was still very cautious, he didn't directly order someone to open the city gate, but he personally shouted to the cavalry team below to ask the other party's identity.
Although it is impossible for the Liao people to pretend to be the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the equipment of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is not affordable even if they pawn the trousers of the Liaoren tribe.
After Dugufeng confirmed the identity of the cavalry below, he immediately ordered someone to open the city gate to welcome the reinforcements sent by the Yizhou Metropolitan Government to enter the city.
This time, the Governor's Mansion of Yizhou sent [-] cavalry to support the besieged Jiulong County, but they did not expect that when they arrived, the Liaoren had already fled.
But what Li Wangyou didn't expect was that the one who led this team of cavalry to help was Shi Gaoshilian, the Governor of Yizhou...
902 The Old Man Talks About Teenage Crazy
Because the governor's power was too great, after Li Er ascended the throne, all the governors of the governor's mansions were transferred away, and only the king Zong was appointed to take the post of governor.
The actual power and responsibilities of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are managed by the chief governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Therefore, the history of the chief governor of Yizhou is actually the boss of the eleven states of Yi, Mian, Jian, Jia, Ling, Ya, Mei, Meng, Qian, Qiong, and Song, and his status is basically equivalent to that of the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The Jiedushi.
As for Gao Shilian, he has a rich background.
Although Li Wangyou has never met him, he is also aware of the influence of Gao Shilian and Gao Gong in the court.
One of the 24 future heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, the daughter-in-law of Li Er, and the uncle of Empress Changsun.
Gao Shilian is a descendant of a famous family. He has a high reputation, attaches great importance to friendship, and knows talents. He can be called the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty.
Both Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun were brought up by Gao Shilian's uncle and educated.
Even Li Er was caught by Gao Shilian at the first glance, and he felt that Li Er's bearing was different from ordinary people, and he would be able to achieve great things in the future, so he made the decision to marry the eldest grandson empress to Li Er.
In the first year of Zhenguan, Gao Shilian was convicted because he withheld the secret memorial to Li Er from Wang Yu, then the Minister of Huangmen, and was demoted to be the governor of Anzhou.
Historically, Gao Shilian was recalled to Chang'an City by Li Er next year, served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was granted the title of Xu Guogong.
Li Wangyou naturally knew Gao Shilian's status, so he was very surprised that Gao Shilian personally led the troops to rescue Jiulong County.
Gao Shilian, a big man from Yizhou, will personally lead the troops here, could something happen?
Li Wangyou actually didn't want to meet Gao Shilian very much, because others were fine, but this Gao Shilian might know about his running away from home.
If after seeing Gao Shilian, it would be meaningless if he insisted on "detaining" himself back to Chang'an City.
But now that he is in Jiulong County, it is almost a well-known fact, and it is impossible to hide it.
Therefore, even though Li Wangyou was reluctant, he had no choice but to obediently get off the city wall and greet Gao Shilian.
Sure enough, when Gao Shilian heard that Li Wangyou was actually in Jiulong County, he was also taken aback.
"Mr. Hu County, why are you here in Jiulong County? Haha, this old man never expected that saints would look for you all over the world, yet you would actually run under my control."
