Chapter 223 The guilt that shouldn't be there
Chapter 223: A sense of guilt that should not have
Tan Zong naturally would not disappoint Cao Qiaomu. Although he did not know that these news would attract Cao Qiaomu's attention in advance, Tan Zong found out that this news through various channels for his vigilance and professionalism. Especially on the night in Xinglin Pavilion, a few wounded people personally fought against the Shanyue people in the city. The information they provided was obviously more accurate, and compared with the hearsays among the people, it was much more reliable.
"From this point, these Shanyue people must have known the situation in Wuxi County in advance. Even because of the fact that the prefect Min was tied up, we can conclude that these Shanyue people must have a wide enough eye in the high-level officials of Wuxi County. And if it were just Wuxi County, I don't think it's serious." Tan Zong said with a wry smile, obviously even he felt that the possibility of his assumption was very low.
These Shanyue people planned so carefully in advance that if they wanted to put their eyes in, they would definitely not be limited to Wuxi. Even if they used the cerebellum to think about it, Tan Zong could come to a very bad conclusion: "If the other six counties are in general, I'm afraid we will be in trouble this time."
When Cao Qiaomu heard this, although the sadness on his face was even heavier, he had to nod in agreement. Although Tan Zong's analysis did not have many outstanding features, it was better in detail. Especially when Tan Zong talked one by one, it seemed a bit out of touch, but both sides were smart people. Tan Zong didn't need to say it too carefully, so Cao Qiaomu could naturally understand the meaning.
"I'm afraid that the Shanyue people we face this time can no longer be called a barbarian." Tan Zong sighed dejectedly, feeling that the result of this analysis was not good news, and it was bad, so it could not be broken any more.
But before Cao Qiaomu was pursing his lips and thinking, Tan Zong suddenly spoke again at this time: "But I am a little strange. Judging from the actions of these Shanyue people, the other party must have masters to plan behind their backs. And from the implementation of these Shanyue people, even if the training is not well-established, it is probably not much different. But these Shanyue people are robbing along the counties around Taihu Lake. Are you afraid that others will not see that they were rushing out of Taihu Lake? Or are they really so brave that they are not afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army?"
When Tan Zong said this, he suddenly stopped and held back something in his throat. That is, in addition to the two possibilities mentioned earlier, there is also a third possibility: the other party is confident that he will delay the court's troops to encircle and suppress the army indefinitely at the political level of the court, and even have the ability to interfere with the plans and arrangements of the encirclement and suppression of the army!
In fact, Tan Zong wanted to say this sentence, but he knew better that once he said this sentence, the problem would be big. He might be charged with disturbing the court in the future because of this sentence. Even if his analysis was completely correct, in the end, after the struggle between the bigwigs, someone would inevitably be responsible. Tan Zong, the idiot who broke the secrets, is undoubtedly the best scapegoat.
Even if Cao Qiaomu did not report it to the top and was only circulated within the Supervision Office, Tan Zong would quickly become the target of public criticism.
Cao Qiaomu on the other side heard this, although he didn't expect what Tan Zong didn't say, his heart suddenly trembled.
Before this, Zhao Yunan and Cao Qiaomu subconsciously surrounded the hiding place of Shanyue people in Taihu Lake because this goal was too obvious. However, after Tan Zong said this, Cao Qiaomu involuntarily became suspicious of his judgment: If the other party's think tank was really so wise, how could it leave such a big flaw?
You should know that although the waters of Taihu Lake are vast and boundless, as long as the Dahu Lake enters along the river, he will use the strategy of casting nets everywhere regardless of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Even if these Shanyue people hide deep in Taihu Lake, they will probably be searched by this kind of big search for needles!
"To be honest," Cao Qiaomu smiled bitterly again at this time, sighed at Tan Zong, who was sitting upright and still in deep thought, "I originally had a considerable confidence in my judgment, but after you said this, I found that my confidence had no basis at all. It seems that we still have to take it slowly this time."
Cao Qiaomu sighed, slowly closed the map, then patted Tan Zong on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, you reminded me that I didn't make this mistake at all. However, no matter how troublesome this matter is, I am afraid it will still fall on you and me in the end, and it can be regarded as a gift for you to the official family. So this case, whether for you or me, is a long way to go."
Tan Zong had already thought about it at this time. When he heard Cao Qiaomu's words, he couldn't help but smile, but he was thinking about a famous workplace saying from later generations: Crisis is opportunity!
When Cao Qiaomu left, he left with complex emotions, half of worry and happiness each accounted for half, and even he couldn't tell why. But he was clearer. Although Tan Zong's analysis did not have much substantial things, and even brought him a certain blow, it also gave a direction.
"This kid is born to do this job." Cao Qiaomu walked in Wuxi City, and his inconspicuous figure appeared and disappeared in the night. Until a person who couldn't see his face passed by him, Cao Qiaomu's pocket had a wallet missing.
Half an hour later, Cao Qiaomu returned to his place in Wuxi, looked at his cut sleeves and couldn't help but say helplessly: "The guy here is really in trouble. Even my wallet was gone. Fortunately, I was alert, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money."
With a look of gratitude, Cao Qiaomu didn't care about the damage to her sleeves, but just took out several papers from Tan Zong today and sorted them out, and then put them all together.
"What Tan Zong said is quite convincing, but do you really have these eyes in Suzhou Prefecture?" Cao Qiaomu had something in his heart, so he couldn't sleep in bed. He could only close his eyes, but his mind kept turning: "If this matter is true, I'm afraid that this matter will really make a big deal. Even if it's the official family, it won't be long. This matter will still have to be sent back to the mansion to discuss it earlier."
Then Cao Qiaomu thought: "Tan Zong is indeed a wonderful person. He looks neither ambition nor power, but he is a rare and easy to get along with. He is just able to meet Yu Zhao's request and is a good match. However, this kid only gave Su Jin a fair wife in the copywriting reported by Nanjing Prefecture. Could it be that this kid had already seen Yu Zhao's girl?"
Cao Qiaomu did not dare to follow his thoughts, otherwise, I was afraid that Tan Zong's image would suddenly fall out: from a good person with no ambition and power desire to become an ambitious and ambitious, who had long thought of climbing up the dragon and supporting the phoenix to seek power. Cao Qiaomu was very welcome to the previous person; but if Tan Zong was the latter, Cao Qiaomu was Yu Zhao's second brother-in-law - although from a law point of view, Zhao Yuzhu, the second princess, had been removed from the clan genealogy, but in private, the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family still looked the same and had a good personal friendship - but he felt that he had no choice.
"It seems that this is really a headache." Cao Qiaomu turned up, and the bright moon outside the window fainted into the clouds, and the whole world became dark. This scene made Cao Qiaomu's face sink.
"Everything is the same." Cao Qiaomu said to the house and then went to bed.
Tan Zong had a strange dream that night. In the dream, he was caught by the Shanyue people and locked up in a dark place, which was wet and wet, and there was also a big python from the Amazon jungle wrapped around him. The snake did not bite or lock people, but just kept circling around him, and in a short while he was wet and sticky.
The snake wrapped itself around for a long time, and finally changed its target, and actually flicked its stick towards his baby. The target of the snake kiss made Tan Zong frightened, and he almost subconsciously woke up from the nightmare. Then Tan Zong quickly saw Lian Xiang, who was naked, covering her mouth with a surprised look, and her whole body showed a slum in his thigh.
Tan Zong sat up in shock just now, scaring Lian Xiang, who was unprepared. She almost managed to steal food without hesitation just now. Who would have thought that she would fail at the last moment again. But Lian Xiang was also wise and worried that Tan Zong would get angry, so she suddenly looked surprised and felt a little pitiful. It seemed that what was in front of her was not Tan Zong, but a demon who was about to invade her.
Although he had been sleeping with three wives and concubines at home, Tan Zong has always been in control. Even if he had occasional intimacy in the boudoir, he was just physical scrupulous and simple or passionate kisses. As for the three women's naked bodies, he had never seen them before.
But even so, Tan Zong could see that Lian Xiang's figure was the best among the three girls with his eyes. At this moment, the proud curve of the figure of a Jiangnan woman was completely different. At this moment, it was fully displayed in front of Tan Zong, which immediately made Tan Zong look dry. Especially Lian Xiang's expression at this moment was like a pure girl who was forcibly stripped of her clothes. She was really shy and timid. Even though she knew that the woman in front of her was her concubine in her room, Tan Zong still felt an inexplicable sense of guilt at this moment.
"Are he wrong? That's my roommate? Why did I feel guilty at that time?" Tan Zong sat at the table with his upper body. He had already drunk half of the overnight tea in the teapot, but even the cold tea couldn't help him understand why he had just stepped out of the bed by a trance.
"This is completely unreasonable!" Tan Zong was thinking about whether to turn back, but the knocking of the door interrupted his plan.
