Han Shizu

Chapter 1667

Liu Yang withdrew with a burden, leaving Emperor Liu the space to be alone.At this time, Emperor Liu was in a complicated mood, so complicated that it was difficult to describe. A faint sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. A light shadow.

"Officials, the Imperial City Envoy is asking to see you outside the hall!" Seeing Emperor Liu recovering from his contemplation, Yan Tuo respectfully reported the news he had received.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu, who had already wanted to rest, became a little interested, and murmured, "What is he here for? Xuan!"

"Yes!"

Weiji, Zhang Dejun entered the hall, his old legs moved nimbly, he came to the imperial court, and paid homage skillfully. Although his expression was solemn, a little excitement could be vaguely seen from his brows.

"Excuse me! What's the matter?" At this time, Emperor Liu didn't seem to be talking much about sex, he only glanced at Zhang Dejun, and asked in a brief and disinterested manner.

"Returning to the official's house, regarding Li Jiqian's betrayal, I have something to report!" Zhang Dejun clasped his hands in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Dejun: "You also know about this? Yes, how could you not know about this! Tell me, what inside information did your Imperial City Secretary get?"

Zhang Dejun suppressed a little heat in his heart, and without thinking, he quickly stated: "To the officials, according to a small investigation, the rebel Li Jiqian committed a major murder in Xiangzhou this spring, killing people all over the house, and then fled to Yinzhou.

The Xiangzhou government once issued a document approving the arrest, and sent Yamen messengers to track and hunt him down to Yinzhou, but he returned them without success. After that, it became an unsolved case.

When Xiao received this report before, he was intuited and curious, so he sent people to investigate and found out that the murdered family in Xiangzhou was just a grassroots man who made a living by making bricks.

Among them, the strangeness is obvious, although the reason is not clear, but according to the investigation of the subordinates, it is learned that the murdered little man was out of his mind after leaving Li's mansion, worried and restless, and suffered a catastrophe that night.

Knowing now that Li Jiqian rebelled in Yinzhou, I think about it again, and I have to guess, maybe the bricklayer smashed through Li Jiqian's conspiracy, causing him to jump over the wall in a hurry and kill him.

In addition, as far as I know, after the past six months, Li Jiqian's brothers and clansmen have fled Xiangzhou under various names one after another, but the Xiangzhou government did not investigate, did not stop and control it in time, and still regarded Li Jiqian's case as a general homicide. , Li Jiqian's lineage, only a few old and weak people are still stranded in Xiangzhou."

After listening to Zhang Dejun's report, Emperor Liu was silent for a long time, before he smiled bluntly, but the laughter was a bit piercing: "Since you have already noticed these things, why didn't you report them earlier?"

Faced with Emperor Liu's harsh questioning, Zhang Dejun shrank his neck subconsciously, and replied carefully: "When I go back to the official's house, although I feel that there is a difference, I don't want that thief Li Jiqian to be so rebellious. Don't dare to intervene in the affairs of Xiangzhou and Wu Desi."

When mentioning Wu Desi, Zhang Dejun subconsciously added the accent. Obviously, this is his real purpose of this report.

At this time, Emperor Liu didn't care about this guy's careful thinking anymore, and his anger surged up, but because he tried his best to suppress his anger, his expression looked a little ferocious, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "What is this? , there are people who do things like this, no wonder there will be such a traitor as Li Jiqian!"

Emperor Liu's words startled Zhang Dejun, and he knelt down as soon as his legs softened, pleading guilty in a hurry: "Small negligence, please punish the officials!"

While pleading guilty, Zhang Dejun couldn't help muttering to himself, he wouldn't have put himself in this speech.However, what Emperor Liu said next made him breathe a sigh of relief: "It seems that the Xiangzhou government's dismissal is not enough. It's too easy to spare them!"

As he said that, Emperor Liu turned to Yanyan aside, and ordered murderously: "Send an edict, Xiangzhou officials involved in Li Ni, follow the example of Yinzhou, take them all into custody, and go to Beijing to interrogate!"

"Yes!" Yan Tuo was slightly startled, and naturally he didn't care to sympathize with the unlucky Xiangzhou Zhizhou, so he hurriedly replied.

It turned out that it wasn't aimed at himself, Zhang Dejun thought in his heart, he was scaring himself.

Seeing that Zhang Dejun was still kneeling, the aroused anger in Emperor Liu's chest obviously hadn't finished venting. He stared at him coldly and said, "I'll give you a task. Xiangzhou's Li family will arrest all of them and bring them to Beijing for execution. The people in the department, personally watch for me, and want to catch them all, if one person is leaked, I will take you as a questioner!"

"Yes! Little one obeys!" Although Emperor Liu felt oppressive, Zhang Dejun was not overly nervous, but was delighted. For him, this is a good job for the Secretary of the Imperial City.

At least, in normal times, such a task should belong to Wu Desi.As for whether it can be done well, he is confident. It would be fine if he didn't detect it before. Now that he has noticed that the Li family in Xiangzhou is such a big target, don't even think about escaping. What's more, he has already secretly dispatched his subordinates to Xiangzhou for control. .

"Stand back!" Emperor Liu calmed down slowly, and waved his hand at Zhang Dejun like chasing flies away.

Zhang Dejun was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Emperor Liu. Seeing this, Emperor Liu frowned, and said in a bad tone, "Is there anything else?"

"Let's do it immediately!" Zhang Dejun came back to his senses, stood up quickly and bowed, and retreated slowly in a cautious gesture.

Of course, Zhang Dejun pretended to be serious, but Emperor Liu didn't say anything to Wu Desi, which was a bit beyond his expectation. In Zhang Dejun's view, Wang Yinwu made a big mistake in this case, and the emperor should deal with it. .

However, Emperor Liu didn't take the initiative to mention it, so he really didn't dare to remind him just passing by.Leaving the Chongzheng Palace with a little disappointment, but Zhang Dejun quickly adjusted himself. No matter what happened, Wang Yinwu's life would only be more difficult. As for his Imperial City Secretary, the influence of his power would expand again. Liu The emperor's distrust of Wu Desi was already obvious.

What Zhang Dejun didn't know was that after he came out of the palace, Emperor Liu stopped suppressing his anger and dissatisfaction, and overturned the pen holder on the imperial case with some gaffes, and said viciously: "Damn it! He didn't mention it at all!"

Obviously, Zhang Dejun's report stimulated Emperor Liu's sensitive nerves again.The question about Li Jiqian was not enough to annoy Emperor Liu too much. What he was angry about was Wu Desi's dereliction of duty and Wang Yinwu's concealment.

Emperor Liu did not believe that Wu Desi would not be aware of the specious things reported by Zhang Dejun.And just now at the Chongzheng Hall, how did Wang Yinwu answer, the specific situation is still to be investigated, he actually thought of vaguely mentioning the matter, even if it is just some signs, it can be reported, but Wang Yinwu just didn't mention it.

what is this?Bully!No matter what his reasons are, Wang Yinwu committed another taboo!On the other hand, if he is really innocent and unprepared, then Wu Desi doesn't know anything about the problems that even Huangcheng Division can detect, and the matter is equally serious.

When Emperor Liu was immersed in this kind of thinking, he could no longer suppress the violent anger in his heart.

"Come on! Pass on Aries!"

Wu Desi's quiet infiltration in the winter night is related to its atmosphere. Probably since the Lu case, the atmosphere in Wu De Division has become extremely depressing. This kind of depression has nothing to do with the nature of the profession.

Even an ordinary investigator in the yamen can feel that Wang Sishi is worried about gains and losses and anxious.In the secret room, Wang Yinwu didn't rest, nor was he in the mood to rest. He sat dumbly behind the desk, holding a thick secret report in his hand, but he couldn't read it at all.

At this time, Wang Yinwu's heart was empty and his mind was in chaos, he was completely at a loss as to what to do.Emperor Liu put too much pressure on him, and after half a year, his heart was completely occupied by shadows, and he was even a little desperate.

So far, how do we live?
However, he didn't need to answer this question himself, and someone soon gave him the answer.There was a sound of movement, coming from the corridor outside the door, the sound of dense footsteps and the collision of nail leaves, it was very ear-piercing in this silent cold night.

With a "bang", the door was pushed open, and immediately after, several Ouchi guards in full auxiliary equipment broke in. The leader was a middle-aged military general with a strong figure and a fish-scale armor. , This is the guard general next to Emperor Liu.

Wang Yinwu's nephew, Wang Xuanzhen, was detained, and he looked at Wang Yinwu with trepidation, his uneasiness was beyond words.Wang Yinwu was stunned for a long time before he opened his bloodshot eyes and asked in a low voice: "General Bai, what do you mean?"

Aries looked stern, glanced at Wang Yinwu, and replied bluntly: "According to the order!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yinwu's heart turned cold after noticing the guarded eyes and indifferent expressions of Aries and those big inner guards, and he still couldn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Swallowing, the instinct of survival prompted Wang Yinwu to strive for the last hope: "Can I let the old man see His Majesty again, I have something important to report!"

At this time, Wang Yinwu's embarrassment made Aries feel a little disdain. He is an inspirational model who worked hard all the way from the bottom. Aries has also heard of Wang Yinwu's deeds. What a glorious career as a martial arts envoy for ten years. How can it be so unbearable tonight.

Facing Wang Yinwu's hopeful eyes, Bai Yang's tone became more cold, and said: "Your Majesty's order, it will be done immediately!"

As he said that, with a wave of his hand, two guards came out, one of them was holding a piece of white silk in his hand, the meaning was so obvious.Seeing this, Wang Yinwu collapsed on the chair, his eyes seemed to lose focus, and he murmured: "It's hard to get over, if I knew today, why would I confess?"

As he said that, he accepted his fate and generally leaned there, with no intention of resisting at all, and of course, he did not have the ability to resist.

With the "help" of the two guards, Wang Yinwu struggled instinctively, making a "ho ho" sound in his mouth, and soon, everything returned to peace.

"General, it's solved!" The guard reported.

"Are you sure he's dead?" Aries seemed a little worried.

"Confirmed!" The guard was sure.

Only then did Aries nod his head, turned around, looked at Wang Xuanzhen, who was already out of his wits and trembling, and said calmly: "Does the king know?"

"Here! General, let's do it!" After all, he was the most capable person among Wang Yinwu's cronies, trying his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, took a deep breath, and cupped his hands.

Seeing this, Aries showed a disfigured smile, took a water bag from his waist and handed it to him.Wang Xuanzhen took it and drank it sullenly, but quickly choked it out.This is just wine.

Bai Yang chuckled lightly and said, "It's such a cold night, let me warm you up. Your Majesty's meaning, Wang Sishi died of a sudden illness tonight, do you understand?"
