Zhang Jue was sitting in the outer courtyard, chatting with these emperor's retainers. Zhang Jue was handsome and good at talking. The knights only chatted with him for a moment, and they became very harmonious. He has a unique personal charm, even though he is the most popular person.
Even though his beloved brother disappeared, he did not lose his grace, but one could still see the sadness and uneasiness in his brows.
"Zhang Jun, don't worry. We are as confident as Jiedu Pavilion. We are familiar with all the key points. If my brother is willing to lead us to search everywhere, I will definitely be able to find it." A ranger comforted, Zhang Jiao nodded,
Said: "Thank you all heroes, but I really don't know whether the two disciples are alive or dead...sigh..."
"This..." Many rangers didn't know what to say.
In the woodshed of the Hou Mansion a hundred steps away from them, his two missing disciples were hanging on the beams, looking extremely miserable. Uncle Liu approached them, squinting his eyes and opening his angles. He knew that,
In the past ten years, he has been the most prestigious alchemist on both sides of the river. He has many myths and stories about him, and he even has many believers in the Hejian Kingdom.
He is different from other alchemists. There are many alchemists in Han Dynasty, but most of them are only after money. They make money and support their families by doing fortune telling for others, avoiding evil and exorcising ghosts, etc. For this type of alchemist
, Uncle Liu really looked down upon him, but this man’s behavior was a bit unusual, he gave away all his family property and went around to help the people without seeking any money.
You know, even the current leader of the alchemists, the Zhang family in Guanzhong, also asks for money. They are never as selfless as Zhang Jiao. Therefore, Uncle Liu has always suspected that this person must have a big conspiracy. However, not long ago,
The emperor's eagles, dogs, and embroidered messengers appeared in large numbers in Hebei and arrested many alchemists. Uncle Liu was also watching, and sometimes he would help.
At this moment, Zhang Jiao came to look for him, and even wanted to meet the emperor. Liu Bo had to make sure that this person had no evil intentions and did not promote any treacherous remarks before recommending him to the emperor. The reason why he did not directly
The reason he attacked Zhang Jiao was because Uncle Liu still respected ghosts and gods. Ever since he saw the fish, he had believed that there were gods three feet above his head.
Therefore, he has always kept a distance from many alchemists whose authenticity is difficult to distinguish.
If Zhang Jiao's followers were not gradually increasing and his reputation was growing, he would not have attacked his disciples. Uncle Liu raised his head and looked at Han Jichang who was standing aside. Han Jichang picked up the long stick from the side and hit them hard.
One person suddenly woke up, looked at the two people below in horror, and shouted hoarsely: "Old thief? It turns out to be you!! I have no enmity with you!"
Before he could finish speaking, he received another blow from Han Jichang, who was so painful that he could not speak.
"Haha, your plot to rebel has been known to me. Rebels will be punished by everyone!" Liu Bo said coldly. The one who was hung was Zhang Liang. With tears dripping from his eyes, he defended:
"Have we ever had such a conspiracy? It's really unfair!!"
"Oh, Zhang Jiao was arrested for treason, and you are still making excuses?"
"What? Brother?? Brother has a heart of benevolence and justice, loves the people and saves the world, why do you frame him like this!!" Zhang Liang shouted in a hissing voice.
"Oh, if you tell the truth, I can write to the emperor to avoid the death penalty for you..."
"We have no intention of rebellion!!"
Uncle Liu squinted his eyes and asked with some confusion: "Is it possible that I have wronged you? When you came here, some of you came to inform the court, saying that you will turn against your will..." After hearing this,
Zhang Liang's eyes widened and he shouted: "But that guy from Tang Zhou??" Liu Bo was shocked and said: "How do you know?"
Zhang Liang shouted angrily: "Old man, don't believe what this thief says!"
"Previously, when natural disasters continued and the people suffered, my master couldn't bear it. In the name of an impending disaster, he helped the people, asked for food from powerful families in various places, and distributed it to the people. Many of my disciples, including me, greatly admired my brother's benevolence and righteousness.
Only Tang Zhou received great kindness from his master, but he did not want to repay him and had evil intentions. He repeatedly asked his master, if a big disaster comes and the sky is wrong, how can the great man be safe?"
"Ever since the Holy Emperor came to the throne and the whole country was at peace, this thief has been criticizing Master Shi, thinking that what Master said is untrue. We have also reprimanded him. It must be that this guy is dissatisfied, so he framed Master like this.
I just said that a big disaster is coming, and I am not slandering the temple, nor do I have any disloyal intentions. I hope my father-in-law can discern clearly!"
Uncle Liu was shocked and said: "Put him down quickly! Maybe we have arrested the wrong person!"
Han Jichang on the side asked hesitantly: "How can we believe what he says when we haven't decided yet?"
Uncle Liu said sternly: "We haven't decided yet, just because we don't know whether it's true or not. If a good person is harmed by mistake, how can I feel at ease? Put them down!" Han Jichang then put them down from the beam, and the other
The disciple fell into a coma, but Zhang Liang was moved to tears. He was put on the ground, and Zhang Liang bowed to Liu Bo with difficulty.
"Alas, but your brother is still suffering."
Uncle Liu said helplessly: "You don't know, the emperor sent Zhang He to investigate. This man is a cruel official. After catching your brother, he tortured him to extract a confession. I am just a white man, and I can't do anything about him..."
"Old man, please save my brother. My brother will follow the path of peace and will never do anything to disturb peace. Everyone in my family knows that my brother wrote a secret statement, saying: The sky will not die, the sky will stand forever, and I will stay in Jianning for a long time. The great man
Yongxing, teach us to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic... Taiping Dao believers chant this all day long... How could my brother be plotting something evil??"
"Oh, it turns out that this is the old man's fault. Oh, I'm sorry. I hope I can atone for my sins! Atonement!" Uncle Liu suddenly bowed his head to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang shook his head quickly and returned the greeting: "My father, please don't."
Like...uh..." Zhang Liang's eyes widened, and a sword pierced his heart. Uncle Liu was holding a long sword, which had been hanging on Han Jichang's waist.
Blood burst out from the corner of Zhang Liang's mouth, and Uncle Liu whispered: "Atonement!"
The sword was pulled out, and Zhang Liang fell to the ground immediately. Uncle Liu personally pierced the fainting disciple with his sword and sent both of them on the road. Zhang Liang stared at Uncle Liu without closing his eyes.
Han Jichang, as a ranger, was a little timid and did not dare to look at Uncle Liu's face. Uncle Liu killed two people and said: "You can just deal with it..."
"Tomorrow, send someone to help Zhang Jiao to find his disciples..."
"yes!"
Uncle Liu went to a pool in the Hou Mansion, washed his hands, tidied his clothes, and then returned to his dizzy and terminally ill appearance. He bent over and walked towards the outer courtyard with a cane.
But at this moment, Zhang Jue, who was talking to someone in the outer courtyard, felt unusually tight in his chest and was a little out of breath. He started breathing violently, and everyone was a little surprised. Zhang Bao quickly supported him, and Zhang Jue breathed violently.
, his heart ached, and then gradually recovered. He frowned and exhaled, but there was something strange in his heart.
Now, although he no longer had that suffocating feeling, his heart was still a little heavy and unnatural.
