The first thousand one hundred and fifty-one chapters
Action began in Luoyang City. Xiang Fei, the nine-city military envoy who was staying in Luoyang, dispatched thousands of soldiers to surround Qiu Jingzhong's house, Yu Taiwei's house, and Zhang Situ's house. These are the top dignitaries in Luoyang. They were originally local
Official, because he actively took refuge in Zhu Si, he was reused by Zhu Si.
For example, Taiwei Yu Sheng was originally the governor of Henan Province, and Situ Zhang Wuzhuo was originally the general of Luoyang guarded by the imperial court. They both gained immense wealth during Zhu Si's expansion.
If Zhu Si were here, maybe Zhu Si would still protect them, but Zhu Si was far away on the battlefield in Songzhou, and Liu Feng was in charge of Luoyang, so they became fish on the chopping board and were slaughtered by Liu Feng.
In just two days, Liu Feng collected money worth 500,000 guan from these three families, as well as dozens of restaurants, shops and houses, as well as ten manors and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.
.
Liu Feng's attack on the powerful aroused the anger of other powerful people. They wrote to Zhu Si one after another, asking for the pardon of Taiwei and Zhang Situ and the return of their property.
It was only then that Liu Feng, who was a butcher, realized that the problem was serious and that it was not wise to attack the powerful. He hurriedly called Yang Mi for discussion.
"What's going on? Are these people crazy?"
Liu Feng felt a little nervous in his heart, but he pretended to be angry, "These three families are all rebellious. Isn't it natural to raid their homes?"
Yang Mi said coldly: "No matter how much wealth they usually take away, even if they make some contribution, they will get nothing. The Prime Minister just ignores them."
"But I'm afraid that the emperor will be dissatisfied!"
Liu Feng finally couldn't pretend anymore and said worriedly: "The emperor has always been very tolerant to them. If the emperor decides that I have disturbed the foundation of his rule, will he depose me as prime minister to please these bastards?"
Yang Mi rolled his eyes, and he had an idea. He pretended to think deeply for a moment and said: "If it's just the emperor, don't worry. The confiscated houses, shops, restaurants, manors, and the prime minister might as well dedicate them all to the emperor. With these
Wealth, the emperor would not pursue the prime minister. He was afraid that Liu Sigu would slander him in front of the emperor. But if the emperor believed him, Liu Sigu would definitely seize this opportunity to attack the prime minister. If the emperor believed him, the prime minister would indeed be more powerful.
It’s dangerous.”
Liu Feng was stunned for a moment. Liu Sigu would indeed add insult to injury. He gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Damn bastard, I should have killed him a long time ago!"
"Xiang Guo, now is the opportunity to take action!"
"How do you say this?" Liu Feng asked anxiously.
"Now Liu Sigu is in Chenliu, and the Prime Minister is working hard to raise a military salary for the emperor. If Liu Sigu dies suddenly, there will be no suspicion on the Prime Minister's head anyway. If there is any more evidence of Qiu Jingzhong, then it will be with
There is no relationship at all with the Prime Minister."
"What evidence does Qiu Jingzhong have?"
Yang Mi smiled slightly, "While searching Qiu Jingzhong's house, I found several letters from him. I asked an expert to imitate his handwriting, wrote a banner in blood, and threw it on Liu Sigu's body. Qiu Jingzhong is the blame.
It’s decided.”
"But what about the motive?"
Liu Feng continued to ask: "What was Qiu Jingzhong's motive for killing Liu Sigu?"
"Has the Prime Minister forgotten? Qiu Jingzhong was defeated in Songzhou and lost 30,000 people. Isn't it Liu Sigu's plan? How can Qiu Jingzhong not hate him?"
Liu Feng took a few steps with his hands behind his back. He knew that Liu Sigu was very important to the emperor, but he thought that Liu Sigu would join forces with Xiao Wanding to suppress him everywhere. If his sister fell out of favor, Liu Sigu would never let him go, and then their family would really be in doom.
.
Liu Feng finally made up his mind, turned around and said to Yang Mi: "Go find me the black raccoon!"
Raising an army for a thousand days is spent in a moment. He has been supporting Lei Lingzi for so long, and he is finally going to put him to use.
...........
Liu Sigu did not follow Zhu Si's army to Songcheng County. He was based in Chenliu County and was responsible for the army's logistical supplies and the training of tens of thousands of scattered troops. This was also an extremely important matter.
During this period, Liu Sigu was also in a heavy mood. He saw clearly that Zhu Si and Qiu Jingzhong were completely under the control of Guo Song. Guo Song was the chess player, and Zhu Si and Qiu Jingzhong were the two stars on the chessboard.
piece.
Even if Qiu Jingzhong is finally eliminated, Songzhou will still be taken away by the Jin army. Guo Song is hanging Zhu Si step by step. I am afraid that by next year, their dynasty will only be left in Henan Prefecture.
Liu Sigu first thought of quitting. When he was still in Chang'an, his concubine secretly gave birth to a son in Hanzhong. He was now eight years old and took his mother's surname of Wang.
Liu Sigu only met the child once when he was six years old. He looked very much like himself when he was young. Liu Sigu left all his property to his son, including the 100,000 yuan he saved in Baoji Cabinet.
Although he was extremely powerful in Luoyang, he still did not take his son to him, nor did he reveal this secret. This secret was only known to his concubine, not even his parents.
The reason why Liu Sigu kept this secret was because he knew that Zhu Si would not last long. The general trend of the world was determined. Zhu Si would be destroyed sooner or later. As Zhu Si's military advisor, he would also become a major war criminal and would not be able to escape death. If he ran away
If he goes to be with his son, he will be discovered in the end, and his son will be implicated. He will never take this risk.
Liu Sigu is nearly sixty years old this year. His life can be considered colorful. In his early years, he assisted Yu Chaoen and fought wits and courage with Guo Song. After returning to his hometown of Youzhou, he became Zhu Tao's staff and later assisted Zhu Sim.
, seeing that Zhu Si’s demise is not far away, it’s time for him to call time.
At night, Liu Sigu was at his desk writing a letter to Zhu Si, asking Zhu Si to immediately stop Liu Feng from raiding the mansions of powerful people. These powerful people were the foundation of Zhu Si's regime. Once their interests were damaged, the imperial court would not be able to survive.
Of course, Liu Sigu could not forget his bold act of taking the opportunity to impeach Liu Feng, hoping that the emperor would remove Liu Feng from his position to appease the dissatisfaction of the powerful.
At this time, Liu Sigu suddenly noticed a dark figure appearing on the table. He was startled and slowly raised his head. He saw a thin man in black sitting on the roof beam, playing with a flying knife in his hand, half smiling.
Look at yourself.
"Are you... here to kill me?" Liu Sigu asked in horror.
"That's right! Guess who sent me?"
Liu Sigu pretended to be calm and snorted, "Except for Liu Feng, there will be no one else!"
The man in black gave a thumbs up, "Yes, you guessed half of it right."
"What about the other half?" Liu Sigu stabilized him while eagerly waiting for the guards to come in.
"No need to wait, I have killed all five of your guards outside. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago."
"Do you not want to kill me?" Liu Sigu suddenly heard something in his words, just like a drowning man catching a piece of wood.
"Liu Feng asked me to kill you, but another person who assigned me a mission gave you a chance to live. You have a choice?"
Liu Sigu quickly deduced in his mind, and after much deliberation there was only one possibility. He asked tentatively: "Could the other person you mentioned be...His Royal Highness the King of Jin?"
The man in black nodded, and Liu Sigu slowly sat down. He tried to calm down and asked, "How do I choose?"
"It's very simple, write a letter of resignation and you come with me!"
"Then [Biquge www.biqugex.info]? Will you let me go?"
The man in black laughed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that you are his old friend, and there are not many of his old friends left. If you are willing to govern the Western Regions for him, he can let you take the son of Hanzhong to Anxi with you."
Liu Sigu was shaken all over and looked at the man in black in disbelief, "He...how could he know?"
"Ask me, how do I know? If you want to know the reason, you can ask His Highness Prince Jin yourself!"
Liu Sigu had no choice. He was not afraid of death, but he wanted to protect his only son.
"Okay! I'll go with you."
Liu Sigu did not hesitate to burn the letter impeaching Liu Feng and threw all the letters on the table into the incense burner.
At this moment, everything was meaningless to him. He only had his son in his heart. He quickly wrote a letter of resignation, put it on the table together with his official seal, put on a coat and said: "Let's go!"
"Why don't you clean it up?" The man in black pointed to the study.
Liu Sigu smiled lightly, "Since I left you, Liu Sigu is dead, what do these things have to do with me?"
"Well said, let's go!"
The man in black jumped off the beam, picked up Liu Sigu's arm, jumped up, and flew away with him...
Liu Sigu, who had followed Zhu Si for more than ten years, disappeared without a trace. Liu Sigu's disappearance became the biggest mystery of Zhu Si's dynasty.
