Liu Yang withdrew with a heavy burden, leaving Emperor Liu some space alone. At this time, Emperor Liu's mood was a bit complicated, too complicated to describe. A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, even though he, who had always been strong, quickly He abandoned the mentality that he regarded as weak, but it still cast a shadow of depression on his psychology.
"Officials, the Imperial City Envoy is asking for an audience outside the palace!" Seeing Emperor Liu come back from his meditation, Yantuo respectfully reported the news he had received.
Hearing this, Emperor Liu, who had already wanted to take a rest, became slightly more interested and murmured: "What is he here for? Xuan!"
"yes!"
Before long, Zhang Dejun entered the palace. His old legs moved quickly and he went to the front of the emperor to pay homage very skillfully. Although his expression was solemn, a little excitement could be seen vaguely between his brows.
"No courtesy! What's the matter?" At this time, Emperor Liu didn't seem to talk much about sex. He only glanced at Zhang Dejun, spoke briefly and asked in a waning tone.
"Back to the official house, I want to repay you for your help regarding Li Jiqian's rebellion!" Zhang Dejun cupped his hands and said in a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liu raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Dejun: "You also know about this? Yes, how could you not know about this! Tell me, what kind of inside information did your Imperial City Division get?"
Zhang Dejun suppressed some of the heat in his heart and spoke quickly without thinking: "I'm reporting to the officials. According to a small investigation, the rebel Li Jiqian committed a massacre in Xiangzhou this spring, killing everyone in his family, and then fled Yinzhou.
The government of Xiangzhou issued a document approving the arrest, and sent officials to track him down until he reached Yinzhou, but he returned without success.
The younger brother had received this report before, and he was curious and sent people to investigate. He found out that the murdered family in Xiangzhou were just ordinary people, making a living from mud and bricks. They had worked with Li Jiqian in the mansion, but later they caused misfortune and the whole family was killed.
There is something obviously fishy in it. Although the reason is not clear, according to the investigation by subordinates, it is learned that the victim was distraught and worried after leaving Li's house, and suffered a tragic disaster that night.
Now that I learned that Li Jiqian had rebelled in Yinzhou, I thought about it again and had to guess that maybe the bricklayer had discovered the conspiracy of Li Jiqian's thieves, causing him to jump over the wall and kill everyone.
In addition, as far as I know, in the past six months, Li Jiqian's brothers and tribesmen have successively fled Xiangzhou under various names. However, the Xiangzhou government did not notice and failed to stop and control it in time, and still regarded Li Jiqian as a common murderer. Today, only a few old and weak people from Li Jiqian's lineage are still stranded in Xiangzhou..."
After listening to Zhang Dejun's report, Emperor Liu was silent for a while, and then he smiled stiffly, but the laughter was a bit permeable: "Since you have already noticed these situations, why didn't you report them earlier?"
Faced with Emperor Liu's somewhat severe questioning, Zhang Dejun subconsciously shrank his neck and replied carefully: "Back to the official house, although I feel something is wrong, I don't want the traitor Li Jiqian to be so bold. In addition, I also Don't dare to interfere rashly in the affairs of Xiangzhou and Wudesi..."
When mentioning Wude Si, Zhang Dejun subconsciously added the emphasis. Obviously, this was the real purpose of his report.
Emperor Liu didn't care about this guy's little thoughts at this time, and his anger was rising. But because he tried his best to suppress his anger, his expression looked a little ferocious, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "What is this? This is dereliction of duty, slackness, and indulgence of traitors. , with people who do things like this, no wonder there are traitors like Li Jiqian!"
Emperor Liu's words startled Zhang Dejun. His legs went weak and he knelt down. He hurriedly apologized: "It's a small negligence, please punish me!"
While pleading guilty, Zhang Dejun couldn't help but mutter to himself that he would not put himself in this remark. However, Emperor Liu's next words made him feel relieved: "This Xiangzhou official is just dismissed from his post. See, It's not enough to come, I spare them too lightly!"
After saying that, Emperor Liu immediately stepped aside and ordered with murderous intent: "Pass an edict that all the officials involved in Li Ni from Xiangzhou will be dealt with according to Yinzhou's example. They will all be taken into custody and sent to the capital for questioning!"
"Yes!" Yantuo was slightly startled. Naturally, he could not sympathize with the unlucky Xiangzhou Zhizhou and responded quickly.
It turned out that it was not directed at him, Zhang Dejun thought in his mind, but he still scared himself.
Seeing that Zhang Dejun was still kneeling, Emperor Liu's anger aroused in his chest had obviously not yet been vented. He stared at him coldly and said: "I will give you a task. The Li family in Xiangzhou will arrest them all and go to the capital for questioning. Let your imperial city The people in the company will keep an eye on me personally.
We want to catch them all in one fell swoop. If anyone is missed, I will take you for questioning!"
"Yes! I obey my orders!" Although Emperor Liu felt very oppressive, Zhang Dejun was not too nervous. Instead, he was happy. For his Imperial City Secretary, this was a good job.
At least, in normal times, such a task would belong to Wu Desi. As for whether he can handle it well, he is confident that it would be fine before he noticed it. Now that he has noticed it, don't even think about such a big target of the Li family in Xiangzhou. Escape, not to mention that he had already secretly sent his subordinates to Xiangzhou to establish control.
"Stay back!" Emperor Liu slowly calmed down and waved to Zhang Dejun like he was chasing away flies.
Zhang Dejun was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Emperor Liu. Seeing this, Emperor Liu frowned and said in a bad tone: "Is there anything else?"
"Get it done immediately, little one!" Zhang Dejun came to his senses, quickly stood up, bowed his head, and slowly retreated in a cautious manner.
Zhang Dejun was of course pretending that something was wrong. Emperor Liu didn't express anything to Wu Desi, which was a bit beyond his expectation. In Zhang Dejun's view, Wang Yinwu had made a big mistake in this case, and the emperor should deal with it. .
However, Emperor Liu didn't take the initiative to mention it. He really didn't dare to remind him in passing. He left Chongzheng Hall with a little disappointment. However, Zhang Dejun quickly adjusted. In any case, this incident would only make Wang Yinwu's life more difficult. , As for the Imperial City Division, its power influence will expand again. Emperor Liu's distrust of Wude Division is already very obvious.
What Zhang Dejun didn't know was that after he left the palace, Emperor Liu no longer suppressed his anger and dissatisfaction. He overturned the pen holder on the royal eucalyptus and said viciously: "Damn it! He didn't even mention it at all!"
Obviously, Zhang Dejun's report once again stimulated Emperor Liu's sensitive nerves. Regarding Li Jiqian's issue, Emperor Liu was no longer too angry. What made him angry was precisely Wu Desi's negligence in it and Wang Yinwu's concealment.
Emperor Liu did not believe that Wu Desi would not be aware of the specious things reported by Zhang Dejun. And just now in the Chongzheng Hall, Wang Yinwu responded. The specific situation still needs to be investigated, and he actually wanted to keep the matter under wraps.
However, even some signs could be reported, but Wang Yinwu did not mention a word.
What is this? Bullying! No matter what his reasons are, Wang Yinwu has violated the law again! On the other hand, if he is really innocent and has no preparation, then even the Imperial City Secretary can detect the problem, but he, Wu Desi, has no idea
, that matter is equally serious.
When Emperor Liu was immersed in such thoughts, the unhappiness and violence in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Come here! Pass Aries!"
...
The quietness of Wudesi under the winter night has something to do with its atmosphere. Probably since Lu Yu, the atmosphere in Wudesi has become particularly depressing. This depression has nothing to do with the nature of the profession.
Even an ordinary detective in the yamen can feel that Wang Sizhi is anxious about gains and losses. In the secret room, Wang Yinwu did not rest, nor was he in the mood to rest. He sat numbly behind the bookcase
, holding a thick secret report in his hand, but couldn't read it at all.
At this time, Wang Yinwu's heart was empty, his mind was in chaos, and he was completely at a loss. Emperor Liu had put too much pressure on him, and after half a year, his heart had been completely occupied by shadows, and he was even a little desperate.
How can we deal with ourselves now?
However, he did not need to answer this question himself. Someone soon gave him the answer. A burst of movement came from the corridor outside the door. The sound of dense footsteps and the collision of beetle leaves were heard in this silence.
The cold night was very harsh.
With a "bang", the door was pushed open, and then, several Ouchi guards in full auxiliary attire broke in. The leader was a middle-aged general with a strong body and fish scale armor, Ouchi Yuhou Baiyang.
, these are the generals and guards around Emperor Liu.
Wang Xuanzhen, Wang Yinwu's nephew, was detained and looked at Wang Yinwu with fear and unease. Correct update @王寅武 was stunned for a long time, then he opened his bloodshot eyes and asked in a low voice: "General Bai
, what does this mean?”
Aries looked sternly, glanced at Wang Yinwu, and replied stiffly: "I'm on an errand according to the imperial edict!"
As soon as he said this, he noticed that Aries and the inner guards were on guard.
His eyes and cold expression made Wang Yinwu's heart completely cold, and he still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
After swallowing, his survival instinct prompted Wang Yinwu to fight for the last glimmer of hope: "Can you please let me see your Majesty again? I have something important to report!"
At this time, Wang Yinwu's embarrassment made Aries feel a little disdainful. He was an inspirational model who worked hard all the way from the bottom. Aries had also heard of Wang Yinwu's deeds. His ten-year career as a martial arts ambassador was so glorious.
Why does it look so unbearable tonight?
Facing Wang Yinwu's hopeful gaze, Aries' tone became even colder and said: "Your Majesty's edict is ready!"
With that said, with a wave of his hand, two guards came out. One of them was holding a piece of white silk, and his meaning was very obvious. Seeing this, Wang Yinwu collapsed on the chair, his eyes seemed to have lost focus, and his mouth
He murmured: "It's hard to save it after all. If I had known it would happen today, why would I bother to confess..."
As he said that, he leaned there as if resigned to his fate, with no intention of resisting, and of course, no ability to resist.
With the "help" of the two guards, Wang Yinwu struggled a little instinctively and made a "ho-ho" sound in his mouth. Soon, everything fell silent.
"General, it's solved!" the guard reported.
"Confirmed dead?" Aries seemed a little worried.
"Confirmed!" the guard was sure.
Aries then nodded, turned around, looked at Wang Xuanzhen, who was already unconscious and trembling, and said indifferently: "Does the king know?"
"Here! General, take action!" After all, he was the most capable person among Wang Yinwu's confidants. He tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, took a deep breath, and cupped his hands.
Seeing this, Aries smiled like a broken-faced sheep, took out a water bag from his waist and handed it to him. _o_m Wang Xuanzhen took it, drank it, but soon choked out. This was just wine.
Aries chuckled and said: "It's such a cold night, I want you to warm up. Your Majesty means that Wang Sushi died of a sudden illness tonight. Do you understand?"
