Chapter 1186 The Case of Han Chang

"Murder case?" Listening to Liu Yang's mention, Emperor Liu's brows first had doubts, and he looked at Liu Yang: "Under the Son of Heaven, there hasn't been such a vicious crime as murder for a long time. It's such a coincidence that you met him?"

Noticing the look in Emperor Liu's eyes, Liu Yang hurriedly explained: "It's just a chance meeting outside the West City!"

"Tell me, what's going on?" Emperor Liu asked immediately.He didn't think that ordinary murders deserved to be reported to him personally by Prince Liu Yang.

Liu Yang didn't go around in circles, and quickly reported the results of the investigation: "The parties involved are Han Qingxiong, the third son of Wuninghou Han Lingkun, and Chang Kan, the grandson of the late Yuan minister Chang Si!"

Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu came to his senses, and his face became calmer: "Young noble son! How did these two people clash, and even killed someone?"

"According to the investigation, the two were jealous of a kabuki in the Peony Square in Xishi. It was heard that Chang Kan's words were harsh and he was full of sarcasm to Han Qingxiong. , drew his sword and stabbed him in anger, Chang Kan couldn't dodge in time, and died on the spot!" Liu Yang briefly explained the process.

But knowing the reason, Emperor Liu suddenly became angry, and said coldly: "What a farce, this Han Qingxiong is such a good son, Han Lingkun has only been dead for a long time, and he has started to linger in the flowers, causing trouble!"

For this matter, Emperor Liu made no secret of his disgust.Among the many heroes of the Great Han, Han Lingkun is not that famous, but with his ten-year military career, he participated in many battles and made a lot of contributions.

Although there are some "unrecognized talents", who feel that the credit is not worth the effort, and occasionally complain, but after all, they are heroes and were named Marquis of Wuning.In the summer of this year, Han Lingkun died suddenly in Luoyang due to the recurrence of back gangrene. He died young, less than 50 years old.

Han Qingxiong was Han Lingkun's youngest son and the heir to the title property. It was only a few months after his father's death, and he committed such an incident in a bustling brothel. Emperor Liu was inevitably angry when he heard about it.

As for Chang Kan, he is the grandson of Chang Si.Old Chang Si has passed away long ago. Although he has faded out of the government for many years, he is still the founding father of the country, and Chang Kan is his smartest grandson.

He is still a Jinshi in Chunwei this year, and No. 8 in the imperial examination. This son is as his name suggests, eloquent and eloquent, but his temperament is just like his grandfather's, he is too mean, he likes to tease and ridicule others, he is unreasonable and unreasonable It can also stir up three points. To sum it up, it is cheap.This time, he lost his life because of his cheap talk. Han Qingxiong also spoke with a sword and took his life.

"How are things handled?" Emperor Liu asked after pondering for a while.

Liu Yang replied: "Chang Kan's body was taken into Luoyang Mansion, and Han Qingxiong was also arrested and detained. Further treatment depends on the report from Luoyang Mansion. However, I think that the murderer and the murdered person have special identities, and they will be killed in a short period of time." may not be able to produce results”

Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu immediately reprimanded: "What is the special status? What is the national law of the Han Dynasty for?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to stare at Liu Yang, and said, "How do you think this matter should be dealt with?"

Facing Emperor Liu's eyes, Liu Yang cupped his hands: "The process of this case is simple, the facts are clear, and it is not difficult to obtain evidence. If the law of the country is followed, the murderer will die."

Liu Yang's words were to the point. Although he didn't say the second half of the sentence, Emperor Liu also knew what he was going to say.After all, this is an era of rule of man. Even in a simple homicide case, if the person involved has a special status, it is inevitable that factors other than the law of the country will not be considered.How to implement it is one thing, and how to weigh the pros and cons behind it is another.

The Han family and the Chang family are military nobles in the Han Dynasty, and they are not considered wealthy families. Their influence is limited, but if they consider the interests and relationships they are involved in, they have to think a little more.

The Han family and the Zhao family have always been very close, and Han Lingkun and Rong Guogong Zhao Kuangyin were even younger. Although Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to engage in such taboo things in the army as "Ten Brothers of Yishe" in the army, the surrounding Zhao Kuangyin still formed a good military and political force, as a force with a foreign surname and not a relative, was used by Emperor Liu to balance the court.

And Han Lingkun is Zhao Kuangyin's close comrade-in-arms and friend, and he can be regarded as the backbone of his power.Even if the relationship of interests is not considered, as far as the private relationship between the Han and Zhao families is concerned, Zhao Kuangyin will not remain silent if something happens to the heir of the Han family.

As for the Chang family, it originated from Chang Si, although it belongs to the past tense, but it is the founding father of the country after all, a general when the Hedong army was raised, and later became a rare feudal town.

If it was because of Chang Si's loss of power later, he lost money and avoided disaster, and returned to his hometown, his persuasion was not strong enough.The relationship between the Chang family and the Guo family is as close as that of the Han and Zhao families.

The old man Chang Si is greedy and stingy in sex, mediocre in ability, and has a bad reputation, but the most proud and fortunate thing in his life is to get on the train of Guo Wei, taking an inexhaustible risk in his early years invest.

After so many years, the relationship with the Guo family has not been alienated.Now that the descendants of the direct line are directly killed, no matter what the reason is, it is impossible for Guo Wei to remain indifferent to this result.

Will a life case caused by jealousy cause hostility between Guo and Zhao?If that is the case, will Chai Rong participate because of affection? You must know that in the late Qianyou period, the relationship between Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, who were also called "Chai Zhao" in the military and government of the Han Dynasty, was already very alienated.

So, will it trigger a struggle and wrestling among the heroes?Will it break the current balance of the court?What kind of attitude will the civil service group have?

Emperor Liu didn't know whether Prince Liu Yang had considered these things, but Emperor Liu couldn't help but think deeply
"The punishment for this matter should be kept silent and ignored. Let the Luoyang government, the Ministry of punishment, and Dali deal with it according to the imperial court's laws and regulations!" After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu raised his eyes and ordered Liu Yang.

Looking at the solemn expression on Emperor Liu's face, he understood something, and Liu Yang bowed his hands and said, "Yes!"

Apparently, even if the nasty fights between Xungui's children resulted in lives being lost, Emperor Liu's mood returned to calm after a simple outrage.For Emperor Liu, those two noble children were also insignificant. What he considered was to see through this matter how the related nobles would react, and how this matter would end in the end.

As an arbitrator, Emperor Liu could sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the situation develop, which even aroused his great interest.

"Then Han Qingxiong is working in the Inspection Department, right? Chang Kan is also watching politics in the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" The plan was made in his mind, and Emperor Liu couldn't help but questioned: "It's neither a rest period nor a holiday. These two, Why did you go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and make such a mess?"

"Send someone to the Inspection Department and the Ministry of Punishment to ask Han Tong and Li Ye how they manage their subordinates? Is it true that this unhealthy trend between the military and the government cannot be changed?" Emperor Liu said coldly.

This is a bit serious. If Han Tong and Li Ye were here, they would immediately kneel down and apologize, and then curse Han and Chang in their hearts.

The story of Han Qingxiong and Chang Kan quickly spread in Xijing City. Although Luoyang is large and has thousands of mansions, it did not hinder the flow of news at all. It had spread to thousands of households that night.As a result, a large number of people have turned into people who eat melons, ready to see how things develop.

Among the heroes of the Han Dynasty, there is naturally no harmony. Ability, qualifications, achievements, power, status, etc. can all become the cause of conflicts between each other.And their children, of course, have their own groups, and there are inevitably exchanges and conflicts on weekdays.

However, this is the first time that among the disciples of Xungui, people have been killed, and the reason is still so ridiculous.Although the incident happened, it was far from being as serious as Emperor Liu imagined, and there was not enough time, and it still needed to be fermented.

The most affected ones belong to the Han and Chang families.No, when Emperor Liu met Liu Yang and others in the palace, Han Qingxiong's uncle Han Lingjun, after finding out what had happened, was angry with him, but he also visited the door overnight to visit Rongguo Gong Zhao Kuangyin.
