Seeing the other party showing the sign of Zhongdu Official Office, the expressions of the people in Prince Zhao's Palace changed. Although usually they were too high-minded and did not take anyone seriously, they also knew that Sili Colonel Bao Yong and Du Guan were engaged in
Bao Hui is not easy to mess with.
Just when people were looking at each other, Liu Liang got out of the carriage again, looked up at the two young men opposite, and asked: "Are you all officials and disciples of Zhongdu?"
These two young men both knew Liu Liang. When they saw Liu Liang coming out, they both bowed their hands and saluted, saying: "I pay my respects to King Zhao!"
Liu Liang snorted coldly and said with a heavy face: "The dead thief dared to be disrespectful to me, and my followers punished him, so what's wrong with him?"
"Even if he is at fault, he should be handed over to the Luoyang Order, Zhijinwu or the Zhongdu government to deal with it. Is it not wrong for King Zhao's entourage, which is not an official, to kill people at will?" Following the words, a tea shed not far away appeared.
Suddenly a group of people stood up. The leader was a man in his early thirties, with a medium build, but very stocky, and an average appearance, but his eyes were like knives. His gaze swept across his face, as if his face had been slashed by a knife.
.
Others may not know this person, but Liu Liang knows him. This is Bao Hui, the official in charge of the capital.
Unexpectedly, he would meet Bao Hui, one of the two bosses, here. Liu Liang took a deep breath. Although he was shocked, his face remained calm and he said, "What a coincidence! It turns out that Mr. Bao is also here!"
Bao Hui and a dozen men in plain clothes walked out of the tea shed. He came to Liu Liang, cupped his hands and said, "King Zhao!"
Liu Liang took a deep breath, took two steps forward, came to Bao Hui, and said: "Bao is engaged, let's forget about today's matter, I don't want to pursue it anymore!"
When Bao Hui heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth and said: "King Zhao is magnanimous, and I admire him! Just now, my subordinates have made it very clear that King Zhao can leave, but those who kill must stay!"
Liu Liang's expression changed, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a solemn voice: "Is Bao Zhenzhen deliberately trying to get into trouble with me?"
Bao Hui smiled and said: "I don't dare! Even if I have the courage, I don't dare to antagonize King Zhao! However, I don't dare to antagonize Wang Fa! In broad daylight, the world is bright, and the mere servants,
He dared to take human life lightly, and the person he killed was a subordinate of General You Zhonglang. It was truly a heinous crime! Such evil deeds would be nothing if he was not hit by a lower official. Since he was hit by a lower official, the lower official should be punished.
According to the law, the bad guys will be severely punished!”
Liu Liang's face was ashen and he looked at Bao Hui breathing heavily.
He looked to the left and right, and saw that Zhang Han, the right lieutenant general, and the city gate captain had gathered nearby, looking at him eagerly, and more and more people were watching the excitement around, talking and pointing.
point.
Now Liu Liang is riding a tiger. Even if what Bao Hui said is true, even if he is indeed wrong, he can't give in in full view of the public. Otherwise, where will his reputation as King Zhao go?
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low voice: "Bao Cheng, let's forget about today's matter. I owe Bao Cheng a favor. If Bao Cheng asks for help from now on, I will do my best to help him!"
In Liu Liang's view, by saying this, he had already given Bao Hui enough face. Everyone is a minister in the same palace, and who can't ask for help from others? Who can guarantee that he will not encounter any difficulties in the future?
His rhetoric might have worked if applied to other ministers, but when applied to these two people, it was a failure.
After listening to Liu Liang's words, Bao Hui burst into laughter, raised his hands and said, "Thank you, King Zhao!" Seeing this, Liu Liang's face softened a little, and when he was about to speak, Bao Hui suddenly shouted: "Get it."
Down!"
Following his order, several men in plain clothes went straight towards the two servants who had hurt someone. Liu Liang was startled at first, and then he became furious and shouted: "I wonder who is not afraid of death?
Touch my people from Prince Zhao’s Mansion!”
Bao Hui said word for word: "The Zhongdu officials are handling the case, and anyone who dares to stop it will be punished with the same crime!"
After listening to Bao Hui's words, the men in plain clothes continued to walk towards the two servants. The two servants turned pale and backed away. At the same time, they called out in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, help me..."
Liu Liang's face was ashen and his body was shaking with anger. He raised his finger and pointed at Bao Hui, then turned back and shouted: "Stop them!"
Following his words, several servants met the Zhongdu government officials and blocked their way. Several big men stopped and were about to look back at Bao Hui, who said in a deep voice: "I have already said that, if you dare to stop
Those who are handled by Zhongdu officials will be punished with the same crime!"
The immediate superiors had said this, and several big men had the confidence to do so, and they all pulled out the swords from their ribs.
Seeing them showing off their weapons, the servants of Prince Zhao's Mansion were also preparing to draw their swords. Bao Hui shouted loudly: "Anyone who dares to draw a sword against the Zhongdu government is tantamount to treason!"
His voice made all the servants in Prince Zhao's Mansion tremble, and their hands holding the sword hilt also loosened their grip.
The big men held their swords and violently pushed away the people who were blocking them. They walked up to the two servants, grabbed their clothes, and without any explanation, pulled them out of the ranks of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Several big men dragged two servants to Bao Hui, pressed him to the ground, and said in unison: "Sir!"
Bao Hui nodded, looked down at the two servants, and asked, "Who was the one who hurt someone just now?"
At this time, the two servants had lost their previous dignity and were kneeling on the ground, trembling in a ball.
A servant raised his head tremblingly and looked at Liu Liang, with snot and tears flowing out of his nose, and begged in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please save me, please save me..."
Liu Liang looked at the servant who was kneeling and begging for him, and clenched his fists involuntarily. He looked at Bao Hui and gritted his teeth and said: "Bao Hui, you can't kill without just a nod, you... you can only do it for me!"
Bao Hui didn't even look at Liu Liang and said to the servant who was talking: "Did you kill just now?"
"He...he was disrespectful to the king, the villain...the villain took action to punish him, but...he made a mistake and accidentally injured a person's life..."
Hearing this, Bao Hui nodded and said: "This thief caused trouble in the capital and killed You Zhonglang and his subordinates. It is really a heinous crime and an unforgivable crime. Come and ask this thief in the street and behead him as a warning to others!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two big men dragged the servant aside, and another big man pulled out a ring-headed knife from his ribs and walked to the side of the servant.
The servant was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, his face turned pale, and he was sweating like rain. He looked at Liu Liang helplessly, hoping that Liu Liang could save him from the knife.
As the saying goes, when beating a dog, it depends on the owner! His servant in Prince Zhao's Mansion, Bao Hui will kill him if he says to kill him?
Liu Liang was ashamed and angry, anxious and angry. His body was trembling and he said: "Bao Hui, Bao Hui! If you dare to kill my people from Prince Zhao's house today, I, Liu Liang, will fight with you even if I risk my life."
The situation is irreconcilable!"
Bao Hui looked at Liu Liang, who was extremely angry and somewhat incoherent. He nodded, cupped his hands and said, "King Zhao's words are serious, I don't dare to lower my rank!" After saying that, he turned his head and shouted: "Behead!"
When the general officer gives an order, the subordinate officers and disciples don't care about that, and they don't care who the person is to be killed. They only know how to act according to the order.
The big man holding the ring-shou knife slashed it down, and there was a crisp crack in the ear. The servant didn't say a word, and the head fell off and rolled on the ground. By coincidence, the terrifying severed head was coming.
In front of Liu Liang's toes.
Not sure whether he was angry or frightened by the decapitation, Liu Liang felt his head buzzing, his vision turned black, he couldn't take a breath, and he fell straight backwards.
Seeing this, Bao Hui was also startled and subconsciously reached out to help him, but the people from Prince Zhao's Mansion stepped forward first and supported Liu Liang's fallen body.
They glared at Bao Hui with bloodshot eyes, gritted their teeth and said, "Bao Hui, you... you are committing a treason and treason, we... we will see you in front of the emperor!"
Bao Hui shrugged and ignored the people in Prince Zhao's palace who were flexing their teeth and claws. He raised his hand and pointed at another servant and said: "Although this person did not kill anyone, he is still an accessory. He is being taken to Zhongdu Prison to await trial!"
Two big men stepped forward, pulled up the kneeling servant, and dragged him away.
Bao Hui bowed his hand to Liu Liang, who was still in a semi-conscious state, and said: "King Zhao, I have to resign!" After saying this, he ignored Liu Liang's life and death and turned to leave.
The people on the inner and outer three levels had already been surrounded by people who voluntarily and consciously retreated to both sides to make way for Bao Hui and others. If people were not afraid of Prince Zhao's Mansion and Liu Liang, they would really want to help Bao Hui at this time.
Applause.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven! Liu Xiu became the emperor, and all the Liu family members followed suit. Especially the Liu family members in Chongling were either granted the title of king or the title of marquis. Let’s not talk about whether they have real power, but their status
It is indeed high enough.
Chongling was originally a small village, and most of the Liu clan members living in Chongling were ordinary villagers, including Liu Xiu.
Now they are either kings or marquises, their status has changed qualitatively, but the habits of the villagers still remain, they are greedy for petty gains and look down upon others.
After gaining power, he bullied the weak and bullied men and women, which was almost common in Luoyang, causing great public resentment.
Ordinary people were bullied by their clansmen and did not dare to resist. However, the court officials generally held a tolerant attitude towards the clansmen and were not willing to argue with them.
Because Liu Xiu only gave titles to his clan members, not official positions. In other words, the court would feed them well, but if he wanted to have real power, that was impossible.
It is precisely because the clan members do not have much real power in their hands that there will not be too many differences or conflicts with the court officials.
As a result, the officials turned a blind eye and refused to take care of the tyranny of the clansmen, while the people couldn't take care of it even if they wanted to. The situation became more and more serious, causing complaints.
As the head of the clan, Liu Liang's reputation in Luoyang was not very good, but this time he bumped into Bao Hui and hit his head against an iron plate. Bao Hui was so angry that he fainted on the spot. The people who were watching
My heart was filled with joy, and I was cheering again and again, but I didn't dare to show it on my face, and everyone just looked on with expressionless expressions.
"King Zhao! King Zhao!" Li Zichun also came to Liu Liang at this time, pinching him and calling him repeatedly. Liu Liang slowly woke up, looked around him, and asked feebly: "Bao
...Where is Bao Hui?"
"Your Majesty, Bao Hui has left!"
"Leave? This matter... is not over! This matter cannot be over! Go to the palace! I will go to the palace immediately to meet the emperor!" Liu Liang's eyes were red, and with the help of everyone, he slowly stood up, his face pale, his body
Trembling suddenly.
In the Imperial Palace, Liu Xiu was working in the Qingliang Hall. Also in the hall were Shangshu Linghou Ba, Sili Xiaowei Bao Yong, and Yushi Zhongcheng Li You.
Nowadays, most of the memorials are reviewed by Hou Ba first. When encountering difficulties, he will discuss them with Liu Xiu. This makes Liu Xiu relaxed a lot.
At this time, Zhang Kun walked in from outside and bowed to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the governor is here to ask for an audience."
Hearing this, Liu Xiu was startled, turned to look at Bao Yong, and asked him why Bao Hui suddenly came to the palace to ask for him. Bao Yong also looked confused, not knowing what happened. He shook his head slightly at Liu Xiu and expressed
I don't know.
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Please come to Qingliang Hall!"
It is true that Bao Hui is selfless, but he is not a fool. Of course he knows that he has provoked Liu Liang this time and made Liu Liang almost angry to death. With Liu Liang's domineering temper, he will definitely not let it go.
Instead of waiting for the emperor to find him, it is better to go to the emperor on his own initiative and report the situation to the emperor.
