Behind the oil-sprinkled polo ground in Jinggongfang is the residence of the Prince Consort Yang Hui. It has a courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits. There are ponds, pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, as well as pavilions with more than three floors.
At this moment, Yang Hui was entertaining guests on the top floor of the main house. The room was very well-lit, and the entire side of the back garden was made of doors and windows. The window panes were large and framed with silk. This style was adopted in Japanese room design in later generations.
The room was covered with a bright red Persian carpet, with a pair of twin girls dancing barefoot on it. Yang Hui was sitting on the main seat, holding a wine set, watching with an indifferent expression. Sitting on either side of him were Luo Xingchang, Cao of the Jingzhao Prefecture, and Luo Xingchang;
Zheng Xiu, the official of Jinwu Guard Youyi Mansion, Zhao Mu, the Prime Minister of Wannian County, and Zhang Hong, the Lieutenant of Wannian County. These four people are all between the seventh and eighth ranks. There is not much difference in official rank, but there is a clear gap in position power.
Yang Hui was handsome and suave, just like his father Yang Shenjiao. He raised his head and poured a cup of wine into his stomach. He lowered his head and flipped through the pages of the book on the table. Then he closed the page and looked at the two dancing people.
The girl waved her hand.
The two girls stepped back with their hands crossed, walked out of the corridor, and pushed and pulled the lattice door tightly shut.
Yang Hui flipped through the pages of the book in his hand, then nodded and said with a smile: "Lai Junchen is a great talent who is good at playing with power. A Luo Zhi Jing can strip out all the weaknesses and desires of people in powerful situations.
It’s like stripping a beautiful woman naked without any scruples.”
The county magistrate Zhao Mu stood on the right and patted the horse: "The prince-in-law's plans these days can be said to be a master of arranging crimes."
Yang Prince Consort was very pleased with it. He put the book back on the table and said with a smile: "There, there, how can I compare to Junchen with my little brains? I just worked hard to complete the instructions of my mother and concubine. Now in Chang'an City,
Officials all knew that a strange phenomenon had occurred in the lotus pond of the East Palace, and a huge lotus bloomed. Originally, this was nothing, and it was not auspicious, but it was as good as the demon in Liquan County, a hundred miles away.
The Tianlian who believes in coincides with each other, and this is a God-given opportunity to overthrow the prince."
He turned around and asked Luo Xingchang next to him: "Luo Canjun, has everything been arranged? After the monster Liu Gengsan was severely punished, his mind was a little insane. Who knows whether he will suddenly recant his confession at a critical moment? There is no room for anything in this matter.
vague."
Luo Xingchang crossed his hands solemnly and said: "Please rest assured, Captain Prince Consort, Liu Gengsan has memorized everything that needs to be confessed. His son is in our hands. This is the demon's weakness. I promise to use it as a bait."
I pledged my son's life so that he would not dare to go back on my word."
This group of people regard "Luo Zhi Jing" as a classic and talk about conspiracy theories. They have indeed put Luo Zhi's criminal ability to practical use. The demons in Liquan County, hundreds of miles away, used the name of the reincarnation of the Holy Lotus to cause trouble.
It just so happened that a magical lotus grew in the prince's east palace. These two specious coincidences could be used to make a big fuss.
When the consort Yang Hui got the news, he was overjoyed and immediately sent Luo Xingchang and other party members to ride out of Chang'an on fast horses. At that time, the demon leader Liu Zhicheng had been beheaded by the Xianyang County magistrate, and several party members were about to be killed. Fortunately, Luo Xingchang arrived in time and saved the life.
In the end, the family of three got the files on the case from the Xianyang Order.
They made major changes to the file. The last prophecy left by Liu Zhicheng was also fabricated by Luo Xingchang. Luo Xingchang took the revised file and escorted Liu Gengsan's family of three to Chang'an.
Unexpectedly, on the way to Chang'an, Luo Xingchang was so eager to make a contribution that he actually told Liu Gengsan the lines of plotting to frame the prince in advance, which frightened the man into confusion and gave him the idea of escape.
Although Liu Gengsan was born in a household, he had learned some rudimentary skills with guns and sticks. At that time, Luo Xingchang secretly escorted his family of three into Chang'an City from Yanxing Gate. Liu Gengsan suddenly had a fit and, together with his wife and son, injured several officials along the way.
He fled to the Zoroastrian Temple in Jinggongfang and kidnapped Sabao who was preaching in front of the believers.
Although Luo Xingchang was good at conspiracies, he was unable to handle emergencies and arrest people. He had to contact his associates everywhere, and even the Jinwu Guard patrol was alerted, so there was the scene where Zhang Xiaojing and Li Siye climbed over the wall to arrest people.
.
The matter has been half successful, but we still have to wait. In order to force Liu Gengsan to recite the confessions that framed him, Yang Prince Consort's associates used some torture on him. Now is the time when the wounds are growing, and they try not to let people in.
Traces of being beaten into a move were found on Liu Gengsan's body.
As for Liu Gengsan's son, this was the thought they left for Liu Gengsan, and it was also the weakness that forced him to submit. Yang Hui and Luo Xingchang did not hesitate to promise to change his son's name and make it a household registration in Chang'an City. They only needed him to give up all the information at the last moment.
All the slanderous words were thrown at the prince.
Yang Hui seemed a little worried and was thinking about the last few steps of their plan.
"The saint will definitely not go out to interrogate the demon himself. If he takes it seriously, he will definitely send Gao Lishi to interrogate. Gao Lishi is a eunuch who is not easy to fool or control. He seems to be only loyal to the saint and to the saint's concubines and princes and princesses.
We will treat everyone equally and there will be no bias at all."
Zheng Xiu, the recorder of Youyi Mansion, explained at the side: "Consort Prince Consort, don't worry. Now that we have the files in our hands and the demon's testimony, even if Gao Lishi has doubts, he can't find any doubts to refute us."
Yang Prince Consort sneered unceremoniously: "What do you know? Gao Lishi is the most cautious person. He rushes to do things that are icing on the cake and avoids things that offend others. Besides, he is pretty good to the prince and will never be trusted easily.
What I said."
Luo Shenjun held the wine cup and thought for a long time, and finally said tentatively: "Captain Prince Consort, I have a suggestion. As the saying goes, a crowd of mouths makes gold, and solitary evidence does not stand up. If Liu Gengsan speaks alone, I'm afraid it will
The secret will be exposed in front of Gao Lishi. I suggest dragging two more astute people into the water. The three of them will prove each other and everything will be foolproof."
Zhao Mu, the Prime Minister of Wannian County, finally found a chance to speak. He raised his eyes and looked at Yang Hui, and took the initiative to ask for him: "There are only three demon comrades left in Liquan County. One of them died during the arrest at the Zoroastrian Temple.
The remaining heirs of Liu Gengsan are used as coercion. How can we find two people who know the truth and agree to kill the prince? Is there such a person?"
"Why not?" Luo Xingchang said with a gloomy smile: "I remember that morning when we were catching the monster at the Zoroastrian Temple, two arresters from Wannian County volunteered to go in and arrest them. Unfortunately, these two were so eager to do their best that they went to the scene in advance to arrest them.
The demon interrogated them and asked them things they shouldn't have asked, and these two people are now imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion's prison."
As soon as these words came out, the others nodded in agreement, which made County Lieutenant Zhang Hong seep a bit of coldness between his teeth.
"hiss."
Before Yang Prince Consort could make a decision, Zhang Hong quickly shook his head and said: "Luo joins the army, Prince Consort, you must not do it. I know these two people very well. They are both reckless people. It's okay to let them take action. But if you let them talk, it's okay."
I'm afraid that it will be superfluous and ruin the important matter of the Prince Consort."
Luo Canjun sneered: "It would be great if they are really reckless people. Then Gao Lishi will be more likely to believe their words. I'm afraid these two people are quite scheming. They don't say they know everything about Yang Prince Consort's plan, but they must be
I have some insight. I am afraid that they will talk too much, and I will temporarily imprison them in a cell in Jingzhao Mansion. But I am not sure what the future will be like, so it is better to just get them into trouble and use it as a tool to slander the prince."
The prince-in-law Yang Hui nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but the county captain Zhang Hong was deeply worried. He knew that once Zhang Xiaojing participated in the conspiracy to frame the prince, he would eventually be silenced.
It is normal for a plan to overthrow the prince to bring along a few small fish and shrimps. The newly recruited bad guy Li Shiye will die if he dies, but Zhang Xiaojing cannot die. It is not easy to find a smart and capable subordinate. Zhang Xiaojing is in Ten Thousand Years
Less than half a year after the county took office, he had already suppressed gangs and gangsters of all sizes. How could it be so easy to get a nickname of Five Gods of Hell? Cutting off Zhang Xiaojing would be equivalent to cutting off his hands and feet.
"Husband-in-law, this Zhang Xiaojing is a treacherous man. He is not afraid of anything. To drag such a person into trouble is to be afraid of causing trouble because of his humble position."
Yang Hui turned to look at Zhang Hong and frowned, but Luo Xingchang's sneer attracted his attention again: "There is no person in the world who is not afraid of anything! Zhang Hong, I know you are showing favoritism to your subordinates, but
For the important matter of the consort, Zhang Xiaojing, no matter how useful he is, you have to give him up."
Luo Xingchang's encouragement was effective, and Yang Hui's face turned green and cold. He had Yang's noble demeanor, and even if he was dissatisfied, he still spoke without anger.
"Lieutenant Zhang, this is not a matter for me, Yang Hui. It is related to the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and also to your and my future. I don't want to miss a good opportunity because of a small oversight. Now that these two people know the whole story,
If there is a problem, then drag them in and do things for us, which will also protect themselves."
"Lieutenant Zhang, Zhang Xiaojing is yours, it's up to you to arrange his affairs, make him ready, and explain the interests to him."
Yang Prince Consort put his hand on Zhang Hong's shoulder. Although the fingers looked slender and weak, they were very oppressive. County Lieutenant Zhang Hong could not say a word to refute, because he had already obeyed.
The four people left through the back door of the Prince Consort's Mansion. They saw Princess Xianyi in the corridor opposite the Qingquan Pool. This princess had the deepest favor of Emperor Xuanzong. She was not as cunning and wise as Yang Hui, and she was almost
Do not participate in the conspiracy between the queen mother and her husband.
She looked at the crowd and nodded slightly, then looked up at her husband on the balcony, smiling sweetly but feeling deeply worried.
