Chapter 276: Interlocking basins


Yuan Shao was assassinated Yuan Tan was taken aback and jumped up, his face full of astonishment.

He originally hoped to rely on Wang Yue to assassinate the pottery merchant and make such miraculous achievements, so that he could wait to invite Yuan Shao for merit and overshadow his third brother.

Who expected that his own plan did not succeed, and when he was still surprised, the news came that his father had been assassinated.

Yuan Tan, who was shocked, didn't care about asking more questions at the moment, and hurriedly left the East Courtyard and hurried to the main courtyard.

When Yuan Tan arrived at the main courtyard, the Yuan Mansion was already busy, and all the civil and military officers were guarding the outer hall, all of them panicked, and the doctors were passed into the inner hall one after another to treat Yuan Shao.

"Third brother, what happened, why was his father assassinated" As soon as Yuan Tan arrived, he asked Yuan Shangyu.

Yuan Shang glanced at Yuan Tan, frowned and said: "I waited for my father to accompany him on a hunting trip in the western suburbs, and my father got rid of the soldiers on a whim to chase a roe deer, but he was assassinated by an assassin, but fortunately, General Wen Chou arrived in time, and his father only injured his shoulder, not his life." ” Hearing that Yuan Shao was not worried about his life, Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "What about that assassin, can you catch it?"

Yuan Shang shook his head, "That assassin is extremely skilled in martial arts, and his reaction is also extremely fast, as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately fled into the dense forest, I have sent soldiers and horses into the forest to search for him, but in the end he still did not catch it." ” Yuan Tan listened to the more and more strange in his heart, to know that he only sent Wang Yue to assassinate the potters a month ago, and now Wang Yue had just returned to Yecheng, and Yuan Shao was also assassinated, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this assassination was probably the revenge of the potters.

When he was in doubt, the doctors came out one after another, claiming that Yuan Shao could not be injured and had no worries about his life, but he had to recuperate for three or five months before he could recover.

Yuan Tan's second son, as well as all the civil and military subordinates, were all relieved and entered the inner hall to visit Yuan Shao.

In order to see his father first and show his filial piety, Yuan Tan took the lead in front of Yuan Shang and entered the inner room first.

Yuan Shang frowned, and was about to follow in, but the strategist Feng Ji stepped forward and whispered a few words to Yuan Shang.

"There is such a thing," Yuan Shang's eyes moved.

"Ji has found out clearly, and this matter is absolutely true."

Feng Ji nodded, a sly smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, "When you go in to see the lord, the third prince must take advantage of this matter and act when he sees the opportunity." ” "I've got my own measure."

Yuan Shang smiled heartily, and then stepped into the inner hall.

In the inner hall, Yuan Shao, who was injured, had a very ugly face, not because of the pain, but because he was annoyed by the stabbing itself.

Yuan Tan, who entered in advance, knelt in front of Yuan Shao's couch, and seemed to have expressed his filial piety.

As soon as Yuan Shang entered, Yuan Shao asked with a calm face, "Shang'er, has that assassin ever been caught?"

"Father, that assassin is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he fled into the dense forest, and finally escaped for him."

Yuan Shang's answer was the same as when Fang Cai answered Yuan Tan.

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Tan reproached: "It's not for my brother to say you, third brother, how can you be so inconsiderate, you can let an assassin approach your father so easily, after the incident, you brought so many soldiers and horses, but you couldn't even catch a small assassin, what the hell is going on with you?"

Of course Yuan Tan will not let go of such a good opportunity, so he naturally wants to take advantage of the topic to play and reprimand his younger brother.

Yuan Shao didn't want to blame anyone, but he was annoyed by his instigation, and he couldn't help but glare at Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang was busy with his hand, and said ashamedly: "My son was negligent in taking precautions, so that my father was in this danger, and my son was confirmed to be guilty of dereliction of responsibility, but although my son failed to catch the assassin, the assassin reported to his family when he was fighting, claiming that his name was Jing Ke, and he was ordered by the pottery merchant to assassinate his father and shuai in revenge." ” Jing Ke Potter Yuan Shao's face changed, his eyes suddenly showed surprise, and a trace of anger quickly ignited on his face.

Yuan Tan was stunned, couldn't help but glance at Yuan Shang, and complained that Yuan Shang was hiding something from him, but he didn't tell himself what he said.

Yuan Tan's eyes rolled, and he immediately scolded angrily: "This Jing Ke must be the disciple that the pottery thief got out of his martial arts hall, and he wants to pretend to be Jing Ke and come to assassinate his father."

Unexpectedly, this pottery thief is so despicable and uses such despicable means to murder his father, which is really shameless. ” "Tao Qian's little cub didn't dare to confront me head-on, and he actually wanted to use such a despicable means of assassination to murder, which is really hateful" Yuan Shao hit the bed with his fist, and his face burned with anger.

The left and right civil and military also joined forces, and they scolded the potters for being despicable.

Yuan Shang also scolded a few words, and after a while, he said: "The potter's move is despicable, but I heard that a month ago, the eldest brother sent a ranger named Wang Yue to Xudu to assassinate the potter. ” As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color, and their surprised eyes turned to Yuan Tan one after another.

Yuan Shao's face also sank, and he glared at Yuan Tan in surprise, and asked, "Tan'er, is there such a thing?"

Yuan Tan was already embarrassed at this time, and glanced at his younger brother in annoyance and surprise, obviously not expecting that his secret operation would be discovered by Yuan Shang, and he shook it out at this critical moment.

Just now, he scolded the potters for their despicable means of assassination, if he admitted it, wouldn't he slap himself in the face and scold himself for being despicable.

"How is it possible, how can a son do such a dishonorable thing."

Yuan Tan didn't want to think about it, and immediately denied it.

"Big brother, dare not do it, but it is not the husband's doing."

Yuan Shang sneered, and there was clear irony in his tone.

Without waiting for Yuan Tan to speak again, Yuan Shang followed and said: "That Wang Yue assassinated in the suburbs of Xudu, not only failed, but was also identified by the pottery merchants, and now it has already spread in the Central Plains, I believe it will not take long to spread to Yecheng, and then the father only needs to send someone to check." ” Seeing that Yuan Shang said it in a good way, Yuan Shao had already believed it for three points, and couldn't help but stare at Yuan Tan with a sullen face.

"That pottery thief holds the Son of Heaven hostage, he is a chaotic minister and a thief, since he is a chaotic minister and a thief, naturally everyone will be punished, why is it said that the king is more under my instructions, third brother, don't on my head."

Yuan Tan's face was already flustered, but he pretended to be calm and immediately denied it.

Yuan Shang frowned, and asked again: "So, the eldest brother doesn't know this Wang Yue."

"I have naturally heard of Wang Yue's name, but I don't know him."

Yuan Tan simply denied it.

Yuan Shang smiled.

There was an imperceptible sly smile in his eyes, as if Yuan Tan had fallen into the pit he had dug.

The fleeting smile, Yuan Shao, who was facing his back, naturally couldn't see it, but Yuan Tan, who was facing it, could see it clearly.

In an instant, a chill passed through Yuan Tan's back, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

"The younger brother heard that Wang Yue is in the eldest brother's room right now, should the eldest brother send someone to invite him and ask the eldest brother if he recognizes him."

Yuan Shang sneered.

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Tan's face changed suddenly, all the pretended composure collapsed, and his frightened eyes glared at his younger brother.

He didn't expect that Yuan Shang was secretly monitoring him and knew everything about his actions, not only did he know about Wang Yue, but he even knew that Wang Yue was in his room at the moment.

"Damn, he actually planted eyes and ears around me, wouldn't any of my actions be under his control" Yuan Tan was afraid and angry, and panicked for a while.

Seeing his son's demeanor, Yuan Shao had already seen the fame, and knew that what Yuan Shang said was right, so he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted loudly: "Tan'er, you are so bold, you dare to hide it from your father, and use such inferior means to assassinate that thief, and at this time, you dare to lie and not admit it."

The truth has been exposed, it is useless for Yuan Tan to deny it, Yuan Shang is afraid that he has sent someone to monitor Wang Yue at this moment, then Wang Yue can't leave even if he wants to, he will have to be arrested here, if he confronts him face to face again, Yuan Shao will not be even more angry.

In desperation, Yuan Tan had no choice but to kneel down, and said with shame: "Father forgives his sins, and his son is also revengeful, and he wants to solve his father's worries, so he thought of this assassination plan." ” The voice fell, but Yuan Shang sighed: "Big brother, big brother, what is the identity and strength of our Yuan family, if we want to seek revenge on the pottery thief, my father only needs hundreds of thousands of male soldiers to go south, killing the traitor is not as simple as strangling an ant, why use such a means to make people laugh, how can I give the thief an excuse, use the same means to retaliate, and my father will not suffer from this difficulty." ” Yuan Shang took advantage of the fire to rob, and his words not only made Yuan Tan sit down on the fact that it damaged the prestige of the Yuan family, but also put the responsibility for Yuan Shao's injury on Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan took care of his own losses, and it was difficult to argue, so he stood in place in embarrassment for a while, not knowing what to do.

Yuan Shao was full of annoyance, glaring at Yuan Tan, looking like he was not in a hurry, just pointed to his head, and sighed in disappointment: "You, you, I really don't know what to say about you." ” Yuan Tan hung his head and was full of shame, so he could only bow his head silently and receive training.

Xu Yu next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore, his eyes rolled slightly, and he stepped forward and said: "The lord is angry, although the eldest prince's move is inappropriate, but the pottery merchant is just a national thief in the end, and it is not an exaggeration to use any means to deal with such a rebellious thief. ” Xu You is smart in the end, and in a few words, he will find a reasonable excuse for what Yuan Tan did.

Yuan Shao's originally disappointed and annoyed face suddenly eased a little.

Seeing this, Feng Ji hurriedly said: "Even so, but the lord was originally scheduled to move south within a few days, and the reckless move of the eldest prince caused the lord to be injured and had to delay the time to go south, wouldn't it disrupt the overall strategy." ” "You're talking about it seriously."

Xu You smiled disappre一门ly, "The lord is injured, how can it be blamed on the head of the eldest prince, the potter is a treacherous thief, with his treacherous methods, even if we are gentlemen and don't assassinate him, won't he take the initiative to assassinate the lord In the end, the lord is injured, or the third prince is not well protected." ” "You" Feng Ji was choked in a hurry.

Xu You didn't give him a chance to speak, and then said: "Besides, it wasn't you who said that the pottery thief's strength is far inferior to ours, even if he is given a few years to prepare, he is definitely not our opponent."

Now that the lord is just recuperating for a few more months, could it be that when he goes south, the pottery thief will have the strength to compete with us?"

Xu You opened his mouth, and Feng Ji was speechless, and in the blink of an eye, he pushed Yuan Tan's responsibility cleanly, and gave Yuan Shang the name of poor protection.

The look of disappointment on Yuan Shao's face completely dissipated, and when he looked at Yuan Shang, he showed a little dissatisfaction.

However, Yuan Shao is not an old fool, he can naturally see that today's controversy, obviously everyone is doing official business, but secretly involves the private dispute between the two sons, Ruying and Hebei Shiren.

"That's it, you have both been involved in this matter, no one needs to blame anyone anymore, this matter will end here."

Yuan Shao played the old trick of making mud and playing 20 boards for each of his two sons.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had no choice but to shut up and glance at each other, their eyes swept with imperceptible hostility.

Yuan Shao's cold gaze had already shot to the south, and he said coldly: "Tao thief, do you think that a mere assassin can murder the old man, the old man is the destiny of heaven, so let you survive for a few more days, and when the old man recovers, it will be the time when your end comes" isjgy:
