Lying on the bed, Guo Jia always felt a little uncomfortable. For some reason, his heart was particularly dull, as if something was hitting his heart. He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, but could not sleep well. The thunder outside became more and more intense.
It was getting bigger and louder, and it kept roaring, as if it was hitting his ears, which made Guo Jia's mood even worse. He hated this kind of weather.
Guo Jia didn't know how long he had been lying there, but he couldn't fall asleep. He was resting when suddenly there was some noise at the door. Guo Jia sat up suddenly. The noise outside the door was getting louder and louder. Could it be
What happened? Guo Jia thought to himself, got up quickly, put on his clothes, and hurried out of the door. It was already raining lightly outside, and not far away, several people were arguing about something.
"What happened?"
Guo Jia asked loudly. The people in the distance stopped talking. The slaves of the Guo Mansion led two strangers to Guo Jia. The two people walked in front of Guo Jia. Guo Jia couldn't see very well.
Looking at their faces, the two hesitated a little, but still said: "Guo Linggong, something happened..."
"What's up?"
The two men hesitated for a moment and then said: "The prince's tomb has been stolen..."
Guo Jia was stunned at that moment, his whole body was shaking violently, and without waiting for these people to continue speaking, he rushed out suddenly. The slaves yelled and followed him quickly. Guo Jia rushed out
When they opened the gate, there were two soldiers waiting outside. When they saw Guo Jia rushing out, they were startled. They were about to salute, but Guo Jia suddenly ran away.
The servants hurriedly followed him.
Guo Jia didn't wear shoes, so he ran like this in the wind and rain, all the way to the city gate. The soldiers at the city gate were holding lanterns and running back and forth. When they saw Guo Jia coming, they quickly stopped him.
He, Sima Fu, the captain of the city gate, was here, mobilizing his soldiers. When he saw the person coming, Sima Fu took one look, and immediately bowed, waved his hand, and let the soldiers go.
Seeing Guo Jia rushing out of Luoyang, Sima Fu sighed and hurriedly followed with his soldiers.
Running on the rain-soaked land, Guo Jia fell and slipped countless times. Finally, with mud marks all over his body, he appeared in front of the tomb in a state of embarrassment. Around Wang Fu's tomb, there were many people standing around it.
There were soldiers, watchmen, city gate soldiers, and many officials. They were arguing, but Guo Jia could no longer hear what they were saying.
The roar of thunder and lightning was still in his ears. Guo Jia endured the severe pain and walked to the tomb. The tomb had been dug up and the skeletons were scattered around. Guo Jia looked at everything, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was shaking violently.
He was trembling, his breathing became more and more rapid, he roared angrily, blood spurted out instantly, and he fell down.
"Mr. Guo!"
Several people around shouted, rushed up, and quickly lifted Guo Jia from the ground.
...........
Liu Xi lazily walked into the Houde Hall, stretched, sat on the chair, and yawned again. Recently, there have been many things, and he has been a little exhausted.
He was needed to look at it, and there was no time to take a good rest. Liu Xi complained in his heart, picked up the documents on the case, and read them carefully.
In addition to these more serious things, there are still a lot of trivial matters. There is a locust plague in Ningzhou again. I don’t know how many times it is. We still have to arrange people to provide disaster relief... Liu Xi is busy, Qi
Yue hurriedly walked in. His face was pale and he looked a little frightened. He quickly bowed to the emperor without opening his mouth.
Liu Xi frowned, looked at his appearance, his heart sank, and asked, "What happened?"
Judging from his appearance, could it be that one of the ministers left?
Qi Yue raised her head and said tremblingly: "Country, the prince's tomb was stolen last night. Guo Linggong learned the news and fell ill. He is still being treated and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead..."
"What did you say?!" Liu Xi stood up suddenly. Seeing the furious look of the emperor, Qi Yue didn't even dare to raise his head and whispered: "The country, the Gengsu Mansion has started an investigation, and the messenger of embroidered clothes,
The soldiers at the city gate will definitely catch the thief and bring him to justice soon..."
"Ah!! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!!!", Liu Xi roared angrily, kicked over the wooden case in front of him, and immediately left the Houde Hall in a hurry, Qi Yue followed him
Behind him, the rest of the Huangmen saw the emperor like this. Anyone who dared to approach them hid in the distance with their heads lowered. Liu Xi shouted angrily: "What are you doing standing there?! Prepare your carriages and horses!!"
Qi Yue hurriedly went to prepare. Not long after, the emperor left Houde Hall in a carriage and rushed towards Shizhong Mansion. The carriage drove directly into Shizhong Mansion. When the emperor left the palace, he had already arrived at Shizhong Mansion.
The news also spread. Of course, what happened last night also spread in Luoyang. When they learned that someone had robbed the tomb, everyone must have been extremely angry. But when they heard that it was Wang Fu who was stolen, everyone was not so angry.
Wang Fu's notoriety was promoted by many local celebrities and sages. In these years, even after entering the Hall of Houde, he did not get any better. All the crimes seemed to be his, and these people enjoyed it endlessly.
To smear him, this is what they are best at in life. The emperor hurriedly entered the Shizhong Mansion, got out of the car, and walked towards the inner room.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw several doctors. The doctors paid their respects one after another. Liu Xi ignored them and rushed into the room. Guo Jia was lying on the bed, surrounded by several doctors who were busy treating them. Some people
He was constantly pressing his chest, someone was checking his pulse from time to time, and another person was boiling medicine.
Seeing someone suddenly barging in, the doctors were furious and wanted to curse. Qi Yue was the first to curse: "You haven't paid homage to the emperor yet?!" Upon hearing this, the doctors' faces changed greatly and they hurriedly shouted.
As the emperor paid his respects, Liu Xi walked to the bed and saw Guo Jia lying on the bed and falling into a deep sleep, his face became even more gloomy.
"How is he?"
"Back to Your Majesty... there has been no improvement, and the mental strength is getting weaker and weaker. Mr. Guo's original health was not good. This time he suffered a severe injury, and it is even more... Alas, this sign of pulse may be... at any time..."
"I won't let him die! Try your best to save him! No matter what medicinal materials or things you need, I will give it to you! Save him!" Liu Xi said, those doctors could only accept the order.
The emperor stood here, and they were frightened and at a loss. Liu Xi walked out of the inner room and ordered Qi Yue: "Let Yuan Shang, Zhuge Jin, Man Chong, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Sima Fu, and Liu Yi all come here
Find it for me!!"
Qi Yue ran out in a hurry.
The emperor was sitting in the backyard with his head lowered. At this moment, he was in a very mixed mood, with anger and worry. In the year of Yankang, the ministers left one by one. This was already unbearable for Liu Xi. If this happened
Guo Jia, who had been by his side all the time, also left like this. Liu Xizhen didn't know that. Just as he was thinking about it, many people suddenly poured in outside the door.
These were Yuan Shang and others. They stood in front of the Emperor and bowed to him.
Liu Xi raised his head, his eyes were red and filled with murderous intent.
"Send all the embroidered messengers to find out what happened last night and apprehend the criminals."
"Here you go!"
Liu Xi looked at Zhuge Jin and Wei Yan and said, "With you in charge, mobilize all the troops to arrest the criminals."
"Here you go!"
"The City Gate Captain and the Monitoring Station are assisting!"
“Sincerely!!!”
"Manjun, you go and help guard the mansion."
"Here you go!"
Several people took the order and left immediately. Liu Xi watched them leave and clenched his fists. No matter who did this, he must make the other party's life worse than death. I want to kill his three clans!!
We must kill all three of his clans!!
It seems that everyone who can be dispatched in Luoyang has been dispatched. The soldiers are patrolling back and forth on the streets. The watchmen are exploring the situation outside Luoyang and asking the surrounding residents if they have seen anyone. The messengers in embroidered clothes are going from house to house.
House-to-house checks began, and the city gate captain did not allow anyone to leave the city gate. He gradually conducted interrogations, and the entire Luoyang fell into panic.
After a day of checking like this, there was nothing gained in the other prefectures, but the Embroidered Clothes Envoy had already achieved results.
It turned out that several people had seen a young man named Li Xuan on the street. He had brought a shovel and other things out of the house, saying that he was going to help in the farmland, but they didn't have farmland at home, let alone this.
It was not the mulberry season. After hearing these things, Yuan Shang did not hesitate. He immediately rushed to the mansion with his people. After breaking in, Yuan Shang saw the man who called Li Xuan.
This is a young man, squatting beside the bed at the moment, serving his old father at home.
Seeing these embroidered messengers who suddenly rushed in, his eyes were filled with panic at first, and then despair. He just couldn't bear to look at his father beside him, and let out a long sigh.
Yuan Shang, who had been staring at him, had already figured it out from his expression. Without thinking, he directly ordered the arrest, blocked his mouth, and tied his hands and feet to prevent him from committing suicide.
He left here, ignoring his old father's cries.
After a whole day of torture in the embroidered clothes messenger's prison, the young man who had been half-dead finally admitted his crime and confessed his accomplices. Yuan Shang once again led people to arrest him. When he arrived at the house, he only heard that
Sensing a strong smell of blood, Yuan Shang hurriedly rushed in, but the man they were looking for died in the front yard, stabbing his own heart with a knife.
Except for his body, there was no one else in the mansion. According to the words of his neighbors, he divorced his wife the day before yesterday. He gave them some money and kicked them out of the house.
Yuan Shang sent people to capture his wife, and took his body back to Xiuyi Prison, where he identified the man who committed suicide as the leader of the tomb robbery case.
After interrogating the thief, Yuan Shang gradually figured out the history of the case and the reasons.
