When the bear opens its mouth wide and yawns, a stream of steam will come out of its mouth.
Zhang Yang pushed away the bear's head that was coming towards him.
Cen Wenwen nodded and said, "I'll take my leave now."
Zhang Yang then took off Xiong Da's paw on his shoulder and said, "Brother Wenwen, walk slowly."
Cen Wenwen glanced at Xiong Da again, turned around and left.
Zhang Yang patted the snow off the bear's back and led it home.
The cold wind swept across the land of Guanzhong. Zhang Yang came to Cheng Chumo's wine shop. It was not open today and there were no customers.
Taking Xiong Da into the wine shop, he felt the warmth in the room and yawned again.
Li Tai and Cheng Chumo were eating hot pot, "Cen Wenwen is gone?"
Zhang Yang took out a roll of blankets from the cabinet on the side and spread it on the bear before he was willing to lie down.
He sat down next to the hotpot, looked at the two of them and said, "How is the investigation going?"
Cheng Chumo took out a scroll of bamboo slips and said, "This is the news we found."
Zhang Yang looked at the contents of the bamboo slips and asked, "Didn't the court get You Wenzhi?"
"Yes." Cheng Chu nodded silently and said, "Our people found out that You Wenzhi had fled to Qizhou when Liu Lan arrived in Chang'an."
Zhang Yang took the bamboo slip and looked at its contents carefully.
Li Tai added: "There is indeed a person named Xu Xuanhui among Liu Lan's staff. This person told Liu Lan that the emperor will come from Beihai. It is not unjust for this person to be taken away, because Liu Lan learned about this
The words of the staff have been in charge of military affairs in Shuofang, and those who speak such treacherous words should die."
"This reminds me of a man named Angatuo who once said that Li should be the emperor, and later asked the Sui Emperor to kill anyone with the surname Li in the country."
"If Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had really done this, Grandpa Huang and the others would not be able to claim the title of emperor. It has only been more than 20 years since the Sui War broke out, and there are still many people with ulterior motives alive. It is not surprising that such a thing would happen."
Zhang Yang put the bamboo slip aside and asked, "What do they have to do with King Qi?"
Li Tai said calmly: "Xu Xuanhui is the counselor who has connections with King Qi. As for You Wenzhi's relationship, I really don't understand."
Cheng Chumo chewed the mutton, "It's easy to find, but it can't be run away."
Zhang Yang took a sip of wine, took the bear and left.
Li Tai looked at the wind and snow outside the house and whispered: "For many years, I thought that anyone who dared to touch Lishan would be dead."
Cheng Chumo nodded and sighed: "Well, now that Zhang Yang is in a high position, there are very few people who have grudges. Back then, the old boss said that it would be better to settle some grudges as soon as possible. The longer they are left, the more trouble they will have."
There are many bad people walking around in Chang'an City.
Di Renjie stood outside Chang'an City and listened to the words of several bad guys. Dali Temple sent many people to Shuofang to arrest two people. One was named Xu Xuanhui and the other was You Wenzhi.
These two people seemed to have expected that something would happen to Liu Lan and escaped early.
Li Zhi asked: "Renjie, do you think they are a team?"
Di Renjie nodded and said: "If we are in the same group, there will be disagreements. I have asked Minister Xu, but he doesn't know much. I always feel that there is someone behind this matter."
"Who is so bold?"
Di Renjie frowned and said, "I can't tell. It seems that the government is deliberately hiding the news."
Both of their eyes were on Sun Fujia, who was listening to the reports of bad guys one by one, with a solemn look on his face.
Afterwards, Sun Fujia gave some more warnings, and several groups of bad guys left. At this moment, they were no longer walking in the direction of Shuofang.
"Is there something unexpected?" Li Zhi asked after seeing the clues.
"Yeah." Di Renjie nodded heavily, but seeing Sun Fujia's busy figure, he didn't dare to go up and ask more questions.
The manpower of Dali Temple, several teams of delinquents, the soldiers directly under Li Junxian's command in the palace, and the braised pork gang.
Several teams of troops were searching for the whereabouts of Xu Xuanhui and You Wenzhi.
Fan Hong, the backbone of the Braised Gang, has gained something. Today he captured a servant who escaped from Liu Lan's house.
Following a servant, I found another ranger.
This ranger was a new face in Chang'an City. After he escaped from Chang'an City and crossed the Weishui River, he was caught by the Braised Pork Gang.
Fan Hong, the ranger and his servant, were thrown into the firewood shed. He looked at the two of them with his big copper bell-like eyes. He saw the calluses on his palms and the knuckles. He frowned and said, "A man in the army."
The ranger nodded and said, "Aren't you from the government?"
Fan Hong replied: "Punishing rape, eradicating evil, and upholding justice."
The ranger chuckled knowingly, "Selling braised pork?"
"Do you look down on those who sell braised pork?"
"I thought that after the chaos in the family, you people all dispersed, but I didn't expect that there was still an informant in Chang'an City. It was because a certain family was careless."
He nodded and said: "A certain family respects Shihong and wants to kill him lightly."
Fan Hong wrote down the name and said, "This servant confessed that you asked him to incite Liu Lan to invade Lishan?"
Jing Shihong replied: "He didn't deserve a good death. What's there to say?"
"You have a grudge against him?"
When Fan Hong asked again, he stopped answering.
"Who ordered you?"
Seeing that the other party still didn't answer, Fan Hong took out a sack and put it on their heads. He waved his hand and three or two strong men took them out.
It seemed like I was walking on an official road. The road was very smooth, but the cold wind still made me shudder.
Jing Shihong didn't know where he was being taken, and he was prepared to die.
After another half an hour, Jing Shihong was taken into a room. It was very warm, and he smelled it carefully and smelled of cooked mutton.
"It's just the two of them."
Jing Shihong heard other people's words again, and this voice was very loud.
"Who is he and where are he from?"
Fan Hong replied: "I caught him on the road. It was these two who instigated Liu Lan to attack Lishan."
The servant whose head was covered with a sack said: "Liu Lan wants to die, so let him die. It's not us who instigated him, but Liu Lan thought that destroying Lishan would strengthen his momentum, so he went there now. He is a Stupid, I’m not stupid.”
After saying this, another slightly younger voice came, "Jing Shihong? I remember that there was a general named Jing Junhong who followed Prince Yin."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's my uncle."
"Well, that's it." The young voice sounded a little more relieved, "The descendants of She Jing Xianjun, the right servant of the Northern Qi Dynasty, after so many years, there are still descendants of your lineage alive."
When Li Jiancheng was killed at Xuanwu Gate, Jing Junhong went to save him, but was later killed.
These are all old things from back then, and after so many years, there are still remnants of them.
Unexpectedly, it has been hidden until now. Li Tai felt that his father was still too kind and left behind too many old people who supported Li Jiancheng.
Then Jing Shihong heard the sound of chewing and eating, and suddenly felt hungry. He hadn't eaten anything all day.
"What is your relationship with Xu Xuanhui and You Wenzhi?"
"do not know."
"Don't you know?" Li Tai's tone was a little higher, "Then what is your relationship with Qizhou?"
"It has nothing to do with Qizhou."
The room fell into silence again. Li Tai thought for a long time and said in a deep voice: "No, you are lying. You said you wanted Liu Lan to die. There was no need to wait for him to go to Lishan and then hand him over to the court for disposal. The one in Dali Temple Whether Liu Lan dies or not in the dungeon is not up to you. If he wants to die, you still have many means, let alone his servant."
"A hero and a good man are true to their word, and they can die with dignity. Tell me, who do you belong to?"
Jing Shihong lowered his head and became silent again.
Li Tai said slowly: "It doesn't matter. It's okay if you don't tell us. We will find out and hand it over to Dali Temple."
Fan Hong said loudly: "Here."
Cheng Chumo asked again: "What should we do next?"
"Everything will be clear once we catch Xu Xuanhui and You Wenzhi."
"Wait a minute." Jing Shihong suddenly said loudly, "I say, but please let Liu Lan die."
A cold snort came from inside the house.
"Say it."
"I am a follower of Huiyun County Lieutenant You Wenzhi. I escaped from Chang'an City and have been living abroad for more than ten years. It was You County Lieutenant who took me under my wing."
"The county captain does have contacts with Liu Lan, but he has always been dissatisfied with his style. He had said before coming to Chang'an City that he would attack Lishan. If Lishan was defeated in his hands, there would be more people Respond to him."
Li Tai snorted coldly: "Who gave this idiot the confidence."
"It's Xu Xuanhui. The county lieutenant has been persuading Liu Lan to stay away from villains like Xu Xuanhui. However, the conflict between Liu Lan and the county lieutenant is getting bigger and bigger. After persuading to no avail, he asked a certain family to follow General Liu in Chang'an. If he wants to seek death, inform the county captain and let Liu Lan die."
"This is what happened after that."
Li Tai said in a deep voice: "So Liu Lan does have a counter-intention."
Jing Shihong replied: "He did. In order to avoid being implicated, the county captain reported him."
Li Tai asked again: "What is your relationship with Qizhou?"
"The county consolation has nothing to do with Qizhou."
"Then why was he running? Where did he go?"
Jing Shihong was speechless. If the county captain has nothing to do with Qizhou and has nothing to do with Qi Wang Li You, what is he running for?
Li Tai added: "They don't know much, let's leave it to Dali Temple."
Fan Hong responded: "Here."
Watching the two men with sacks on their heads leaving, Li Tai nodded and said: "Everyone knows that Li You is planning to rebel. Unfortunately, only he thinks that his rebellion can succeed."
Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "Your Majesty sent so many people to arrest him just to eliminate this conspiracy and make Li You give up his thoughts."
"Yes." Li Tai whispered: "As long as he doesn't rebel, my father will at most deal with him differently. If he rebels, his fate will be unpredictable and will involve many people. I hope he can change his mind.
.”
"The whereabouts of You Wenzhi and Xu Xuanhui are still being investigated?"
Li Tai said in a low voice: "After all, this is my father's family matter. Brother Chu Mo's people should stop getting involved. If we don't investigate, let my father make his own decision."
Cheng Chu sighed silently: "Judging from the distance, they probably haven't reached Qizhou yet."
The cold wind in November became more and more biting. Li Shimin became furious when he heard Sun Fujia said, "My good son."
Sun Fujia said in a low voice: "I'm already hastening to send people to summon the messenger."
Li Shimin pinched the memorial in his hand and coughed violently again.
The eunuch on the side quickly brought the medicinal soup and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
The emperor's breathing was heavy, his eyes closed as if he was trembling with anger, and he said again: "Relegate Li You to a bastard!"
"Your Majesty!" Sun Fuga said again: "If we really issue this decree, it will further arouse King Qi's rebellion."
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "I am the Khan of Heaven, I am the emperor, and he is the prince! We must set an example."
Sun Fuga advised: "We have sent people to deliver the message at high speed. If His Highness King Qi can wake up, there may be a chance for a better future."
Li Shimin thought deeply: "I will think about it myself, please step back."
"Here."
After walking out of the Manna Hall, Sun Fujia felt as confused as the snowstorm in the sky.
Even if King Li You of Qi does not rebel at this moment, it is inevitable that he will be demoted to a commoner.
Sun Fuga's steps were very slow, and his heart became heavier and heavier as he walked step by step.
But when he reached Chengtianmen, he met Jin Wang Li Zhi.
"Your Highness, are you waiting for your subordinate?"
Li Zhi said with a smile on his face, "I heard that Dali Temple sent people to Qizhou?"
Sun Fuga explained: "Two rebels fled to Qizhou."
Li Zhi watched his steps getting faster and faster, and vaguely noticed something.
Gongsun Xiaoniang followed beside her, "Your Highness, it's cold. Why don't you go to the palace and sit by the stove?"
Noticing the way she walked and that her ears and hands were red from the cold, Li Zhi said calmly: "Then let's go to Chongde Hall."
This month, there is a lot of news coming and going from Qizhou to Chang'an City.
Li Chengqian has been in Gaoling County these days, and Zhao Jie came over in a hurry, "Your Highness, the King of Qi is going to rebel."
The iron clamp in Li Chengqian's hand paused for a moment, then he clamped some charcoal into the stove, put the kettle on and whispered: "This brother Gu has been naughty since he was a child."
Zhao Jie then warned: "Your Majesty is asking people to thoroughly investigate the people who have been with King Qi. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got married, King Qi also gave a pair of jade to the East Palace, and His Highness also gave King Qi a horse. I'm afraid...
"
Li Chengqian said calmly: "That was all many years ago."
He also felt that Zhao Jie's words made sense, so he wrote another letter to advise Li You not to have his own way, and "send the letter from me to Qizhou."
"Here."
But as soon as the letter left Gaoling County, it was stopped by Pei Xingjian and Li Daozong.
Zhao Jie comforted the horses that were trampling back and forth, "You two, His Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to deliver letters."
Li Daozong sighed in the cold air, turning into a cloud of white mist, "Sure enough, Lishan was right."
Pei Xingjian patted the snow off his body and said, "Give me the prince's letter."
"Why?"
Zhao Jie looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Before he could refuse, Pei Xingjian snatched the letter from his hand, tore it up, and the pieces of paper scattered in the wind.
"You..." Zhao Jie pointed at two people and choked on the spot. One was the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the other was the Prince of Jiangxia County.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now living abroad, unable to cause trouble.
Li Daozong asked: "Don't Pei Fuyin read the words in the letter?"
Pei Xingjian said: "As long as the letter has not been released, there is no need to read it."
"Right."
As Li Daozong spoke, he admired Pei Xingjian a little more.
Zhao Jie had no choice but to walk back dejectedly and told the story again.
Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Has he read the contents of the letter?"
"Back to Your Highness, Pei Fuyin didn't look at it."
