Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Stories Break New Strategies Chapter 84: Knowing the Wind, Seeing the Chastity (Part 2)
People who are involved in rivers and lakes are often carefree and unrestrained, and enjoy grudges and grudges;
People who run temples and temples often have a broad mind and can accommodate all things.
Today, Liu Gan, who is sitting firmly on the middle step with his head held high, looks calm and composed, but inside he is in a state of turmoil. During the short period of recess, Liu Gan's servants had already informed Liu Gan of the details of what happened outside the palace through the coachman. This surprised Liu Gan.
He naturally knew that Le Er was doing mischief in Liaoxi County, but considering the several carts of treasures Le Er presented every year and his relationship with his brother-in-law, Liu Qian would always cover up the crimes committed by Le Er. Moreover, Le Er The two mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Liu Gan thought that Le Er was just greedy for some money and plundering some people's fat and anointing. Who could have imagined that this kid was so bold that he actually colluded with local gangs and robbed by force. Such behavior cannot be said to be clear-sighted. Everyone in the world, even Liu Gan, who least wanted Le Er to die, was somewhat looking forward to his death!
However, Liu Gan was Liu Gan. He was the leader of one man and more than ten thousand people. He soon felt that something was a little unusual. The Liaoxi County Sheriff was the disciple of Guard Chang Xia, and Chang Xia was His Majesty's Pythagorean minister. Su Ran made such a big fuss outside the city today, but he didn't mention Le Er at all, and just accused himself.
With these connections, Su Ran's purpose came to light: it was false to sue Le Er, but someone was behind it to add fuel to the flames. It would be true to bring him down!
And the person behind him who was adding fuel to the flames, it didn't take much to think about it, it was the current emperor who wanted to win over the imperial power.
After all, Liu Gan was a veteran in the officialdom. After carefully analyzing the pros and cons of letting Su Ran into the palace, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to go out of the city to transfer people, kill Su Ran, and destroy the evidence. If you die without any evidence, you can just spend some money and drag some little guy out to take the blame.
As long as things are done here, even if his nephew sitting on the dragon throne is more murderous, there is nothing he can do. This kind of follow-up thing has not been done once or twice by your boy!
People have to die, and I, Liu Gan, am not immune to this, but before I die, I have to live my life!
Liu Gan sat there, raised his eyes slightly, glanced around the court officials, and then quickly lowered his eyes.
In recent years, it is almost universally known that this boy Liu Yan wants to eliminate the family, suppress the royal family, and gain royal power. Although Liu Qian is greedy, he has always believed that this boy will definitely accomplish this in his lifetime. Liu Qian also understands that, I am no longer the anchor to his precious nephew, but a roadblock.
But there is nothing he can do about becoming a stumbling block. He yearns for power, and there are many people under him who rely on him to make a living. He can only live day by day. Thinking of this, Liu Gan sighed in his heart: He is already over sixty years old, and he doesn’t have much. Time has passed! The 'great style' of the time when the family controlled the royal power will no longer exist! In a few years, a brand new dynasty full of unity and strength will eventually rise in your hands, Liu Yan. Get up! And I will eventually find the most appropriate time to add a piece of firewood to you and give you one last try.
After re-opening the court, Liu Qian was keenly aware of something unusual. In the past, his nephew would always be aggressive whenever he got some handle, but today he acted like a fool. There must be great calm before a disaster. This is not a good sign. , Liu Gan turned his eyes and squinted at Prime Minister Lu Zheng who was sitting below him, and saw that he was looking at him and bowed slightly to him.
Liu Gan's face was full of disdain: Humph, what a plan to compete with Zhang Liang. If I guessed it right, Su Ran's line was planted by you, the old ghost, for His Majesty, right? I want to see, what happened to you Lu in today's matter? How should Zheng end up with a little county guard as a guide, and then try to cut off my head? It is inevitable that some lions and rabbits will overestimate their own capabilities!
Liu Gan rubbed the texture on the mat table regularly, and a chamberlain secretly disappeared into the front hall.
...
There is a turbulent undercurrent in the palace, and there is going to be a fight outside the palace.
This group of roadblockers had obviously come prepared. Sickles were not contraband items under the "Han Code" and could be carried at will. Each of them was seen carrying two huge scythes, with cold gleams emitting from the tips.
In addition, there were slight sounds of footsteps both overtly and covertly. It seemed that this group of men in black was just the first step.
It seems that some people want to see some blood for what happened today, and it is Su Ran's blood.
Su Ran raised his head, the sun was shining brightly, but God did not drop thunder and fire to help him, nor did it rain a downpour to arouse his interest. Going there, the east gate of Weiyang Palace was already vaguely visible. After passing that gate, he Su Ran's life may have turned a new page, and he has finally given an explanation to the people of western Liaoning.
He had anticipated the dangers of this trip, and also anticipated that the greatest help His Majesty could give him, Su Ran, was to just sit back and do nothing. The scene in front of him, which he had imagined countless times in the dreams of countless Iron Horse Glaciers in Liaoxi County, had become a reality. At that moment, Su Ran was a little shaken. Su Ran weighed the weight of his name and his life very clearly.
At this time, a low voice suddenly came from the darkness, "Sir, I am the Nangong Guards Cheng. I am the chief of the guards for this trip. Lord Chang Xia ordered me to pass along a message when you were wandering around, because 'you can win only if you can conquer the heart. There are some roads in the sky, and you can’t look back after you’ve taken them!”
The voice coming from the darkness was like a good medicine. Su Ran's skinny body moved forward again. His temples, which were carved by a knife, were covered with sweat. He still knelt down step by step. His mouth was dry and white, but he still spoke loudly. Repeat what you just said.
The man in black standing in front of him stood still. When the two sides were ten steps apart, more than a dozen huge scythes swung and threw them at Su Ran. In an instant, more than a dozen short halberds came from behind Su Ran. The sword behind him quickly passed over his head, clashed with the sickle and returned. It was like a heavenly soldier descending from the sky, holding a critical moment.
The men in gray clothes, who were about the same number as the men in black clothes, stood behind Su Ran. The sickle with a thin lock tied to the end had returned to the hands of the men in black clothes. The short halberd tied with thick silk also returned to the man in gray clothes. in hand.
Su Ran, wearing black clothes and holding a yellow scroll in his hand, stood in the center of the two groups, his expression unchanged. The scene was quiet for three minutes. Then, with a 'bang' sound, Su Ran knelt down again and said loudly, "I am Su Ran, the governor of Liaoxi County, was the uncle of the emperor Liu Qian, who defied nature and had no moral principles, and had unsatisfied aspirations..."
Two sounds of 'kill' sounded from behind Su Ran at the same time. The men in black and gray were strangled and fighting with Su Ran as the center. The sounds of iron weapons clashing began to be heard from the streets on both sides, and from time to time they were mixed with each other. There was a muffled groan, and in an instant, the city of Chang'an, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, started fighting again.
Women on the streets hugged their children tightly, with fear in their eyes. They seemed to recall a past event, the bloody tragedy that happened in Chang'an City more than ten years ago when they were still young girls. They still clearly remembered that when they went out the next day, Chang'an City had turned into a hell on earth after a night of fighting among the families.
There was a steady stream of men in black belonging to Liu Qian, their hooks were drawn backwards, their attacks were tricky, and they were very ferocious. As soon as they grabbed a chance, they hooked two or three sickles on a Nangong guard in gray clothes and cut off his hand tendon. It's just a hamstring. If the Nangong guards come to rescue him, the man in black will take advantage of him. If he doesn't rescue him, the guard who falls to the ground will bleed to death sooner or later.
The Nangong guards stood in front of Su Ran. They were like horns to each other. They cooperated closely, were loyal and courageous, and marched step by step. I saw them with swords and shields in the front, long spears in the back, and short halberds in their mouths. They used fierce skills, slashing and poking. The man in black If you accidentally fall down, five or six holes will be poked in your body by Nangong guards.
In the streets and alleys, the number of people killed was getting smaller and smaller. Gradually, the voices in the streets and alleys changed from loud to soft, from small to none. The men in black and the Nangong guards who were fighting head-on on Lingyu Street each had only a dozen people left. into a stalemate situation.
At this moment, Su Ran moved. He continued to kneel step by step and crawl towards Weiyang Palace.
Su Ran took a step forward, and the Nangong guards took another step forward. The man in black slowly took a step back. After a while, more than twenty Nangong guards emerged from the streets and alleys to join the battle group. The dawn of victory immediately shone on Su Ran's side.
Some brave people slowly opened the ya windows of the small buildings on both sides and saw the corpses scattered on the street. They looked at each other and were speechless. As more and more ya windows and front windows were opened, the whispers spread again. Come on.
A young man asked doubtfully, "Who do you think sent these men in black? They are too courageous!"
Another thin young man who looked like a scholar glared hard at the young man who asked the question and said mockingly, "Are you stupid? Who is this Sheriff Su suing?"
The young man said naively, "Uncle Liu Qian!"
The thin young man shrank his neck and said with a smile, "You said this, I didn't!"
On the other side, an old man said in surprise, "How courageous are you to do this on the street? This is the imperial capital of Chang'an!"
Another gray-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "I see! You are too timid. A county guard scared the emperor's uncle like this. Is there something wrong in your heart?"
The old man agreed, "Yes, as the old saying goes, 'If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanted shadow.' It seems that the people of western Liaoning are indeed not going to survive! Otherwise, they would not risk their lives to sue the emperor!"
What people say is scary! What people say is scary!
The windows opened more and more, the discussions became louder and louder, and the morale of Su Ran's party became stronger and stronger.
Perhaps justice will be late, but justice will never be absent.
The Nangong guards did not leave a chance for the men in black to die. Following the order from the leader, Nangong Guard Cheng, more than thirty people swarmed up and slaughtered the men in black cleanly.
Now that the whereabouts of the Nangong guards have been made public, they no longer hide.
Nangong Guards Cheng did not rush to order to clean up the mess, but led his troops to follow Su Ran forward. More than 30 people stood upright, set up large shields, and armed with swords and guns to guard the surroundings and guard against dark alleys.
As we approached the east palace of Weiyang Palace, the scene gradually subsided and the smell of blood gradually faded away. People gathered again in small buildings, roofs, edges, etc. They pointed at Su Ran and his entourage. Some people advised Su Ran. After turning back, more people were cheering for Su Ran!
