Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 116

In the evening of this day, the heavy rain turned into light rain, and Liu Yu watched the rain scene on the city wall alone.

Tomorrow they will return to Luoyang, this time the opponents are different, if Yan He and Qin Niu are just small fish and shrimps, then this time, they will face a colossus.

certainly…

If you want to help Han, after all, you can't get around this giant.

The so-called "one whale falls, all things live!"

Xun Yu, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhen Yi walked up the tower, and Xun Yu took the lead and said, "Everyone is waiting for you."

This "waiting" naturally meant waiting for Liu Yu to issue orders.

At this time, only his words can convince everyone.

"Today is the seventh day of April." Liu Yu mentioned this sentence with great interest.

"Yes, but this..." Xun Yu just said.

But Liu Yu wrote two characters "正" on the city wall with stones.

Two "positive", a total of ten strokes, meaning...

"Ten days!" Liu Yu explained: "We still have ten days. If we count the horses and horses, we must find out the reason and truth of this matter within seven days."

Liu Yu looked at Xun Yu very seriously, as if to find out the truth within seven days, this matter will fall on him.

"More than a thousand lives, as well as court officials and jailers...including escape from prison, horses, murder weapons...seven days seems not enough."

Xun Yu let out a sigh.

He is proficient in internal politics, but he may not be proficient in investigating cases and patrolling... Besides, this case is complicated and confusing. If we really want to investigate it clearly, we must interrogate each one carefully, which will take time.

Liu Yu emphasized again, "This is the only chance to save Guan Changsheng. If Wen Ruo finds it difficult, you can send an emissary to seek help from the Yingchuan Guo family."

The Guo family in Yingchuan and the Xun family in Yingchuan are old friends, and Xun Yu has a tacit relationship with Guo Jia, a member of the younger generation of the Guo family.

Of course, Xun Yu could understand what Liu Yu meant. The Guo family in Yingchuan had been court lieutenants for six generations, and they had a unique way of investigating cases.

"We only have ten days!" Liu Yu emphasized repeatedly.

As soon as this statement comes out…

Liu Bei's eyes widened in vain. "Can you really save Guan Changsheng?"

"There is one more condition." Liu Yu continued.

"What conditions?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

"As I mentioned before, Guan Changsheng will live when he enters Luoyang, and he will die when he leaves Luoyang. Within ten days, no matter what method is used, he must be brought into Luoyang City." Liu Yu's eyes were firm, and his tone was extremely decisive. .

Liu Bei's eyes moved to the top of the city tower, where the word "正" was carved on the two stones.

Ten strokes, ten days?

But... Where can Guan Changsheng find him?
Liu Yu's words came out again. "Whether Guan Changsheng can be found is the key to whether he can be saved. Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, Brother Zhen... I'm in a position to thank you for that."

Hearing this, the simple-minded Zhang Fei scratched his head. "If you enter Luoyang, you will die? But if you bring that red face into Luoyang, wouldn't that be a trap?"

Before Liu Yu could answer, Liu Bei spoke first. "Brother Liu made such an arrangement, there must be a reason for it. Didn't Yide hear that... he was put to death and reborn?"

Blunting these words, Liu Yu glanced at Liu Bei in relief, and emphasized: "That's right, it's to die and live!"

"What about you, brother? Are you going back to Luoyang too?" Xun Yu asked with concern. "If you want, we will help you."

The more you think about this case.

Xun Yu felt that it was not easy...

The most important reason why it is not simple is that the invisible pusher behind it must be a huge monster!
The more he thought about it, the more Xun Yu worried about Liu Yu.

Luoyang, can he really face it alone?
On the other hand, Liu Yu looked very calm, and immediately waved his hands. "Wen Ruo, you have heavy responsibilities. One is to find out the case, and the other is to find Guan Changsheng. There is no need for you to worry about Luoyang. I have my wife to help me, not to mention Qiao Zi and Cai Zi secretly helping me. As far as I'm concerned, it's enough!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yu stretched out her hand...

"Come…"

Xun Yu put his hand on his hand first, followed by Liu Bei, Zhen Yi, and finally Zhang Fei. His thick palm could almost wrap everyone's palm.

at this time…

Liu Yu recited four words in a firm tone - "Let's break the game together!"

Everyone's eyes met, and they uttered such a sentence one after another.

——"Break the game together!"

...

...

A bleak crescent moon, expressionlessly emitting a cold light.

He has seen too many joys and sorrows in the world, and he witnesses the intrigues and schemes in the world every day.

It was unmoved by anything, not even a slight sigh.

In the evening, the Yuan Mansion was exceptionally quiet.

There was a bright light in the lobby, and Yuan Kai and Yuan Feng sat on one side of the table, kneeling on both sides.

"This time, I did a good job at the beginning." Yuan Feng said with emotion: "There is no proof of death. All the charges have been placed on Guan Changsheng, who is a 'white body'. It can be regarded as completely breaking the Yan family's ties to us."

Yuan Kai raised the teacup and took a sip.

"I'm not worried about this. A mere Yan family won't be able to shake our Yuan family in Runan. I'm worried..."

Apparently, there was a bit of fear in Yuan Kai's words, and there was no deep meaning.

"Ciyang is worried about the Yulin temple master?"

"Exactly." Yuan Kui put down the teacup, and became a little vigilant. "There is Liu Lang in Yulin. I mentioned at the beginning that this 'Liu Lang' is not a guy who gives up halfway. Since he will save Guan Changsheng for the first time, there will definitely be a second time."

"Ha ha…"

Yuan Kai's words blurted out, and Yuan Feng burst out laughing immediately. "Save? How will he save it? I wish he could save it... As long as he can get in touch with this Guan Changsheng, there are a hundred ways to ruin him. How can a white body be qualified to kill the imperial court official? What's more, he has hundreds of people on his back. The lives of women, children, and children!"

"But those are all thieves..." Yuan Kai immediately reminded.

"Isn't it fate that the thief's family is small?" Yuan Feng narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly. "Can he wash away thousands of lives? What's more, is Guan Changsheng a traitor? Or a local hero? This is defined by us scholars. What do ordinary people know? The emotions of ordinary people are the easiest to be incited! "

That's why... In the old days, Xun Yu would mention to his father-"The head hanging on the tower today is Wang Fu. They cheered and applauded! , even clean and honest officials, they will applaud!"

Back to the source...

The people at the bottom, they have no way to know, who is an upright official in the local area?Who is the traitor?
They will not know which official wrote the decree that is beneficial to the people.

What they heard in their ears and what they saw in their eyes was what the aristocratic families wanted them to see.

What Yuan Feng said was not false at all.

——The emotions of the people are the easiest to be incited!

These thousand lives can be the family members of the thieves, but they can also be women, children, old and young who have no power to restrain the chickens.

call…

Yuan Kai let out a long sigh. "Brother, there is nothing wrong with you doing this in the interests of the family, but you have framed a righteous man in vain. Whenever I think of this, I always feel a little bit unbearable."

"Aren't there few righteous men who are framed and wronged every year?" Yuan Feng retorted immediately. "Among our old officials and students, are there still few who were imprisoned because of the party's imprisonment and exiled to the frontier? How many clans did you lose? To get to this position? There is only one opportunity left before the 'one hundred feet, one step further'."

Yuan Feng's tone was extremely solemn. "The case of Empress Song is vivid in my mind, and the downfall of the Song family in Fufeng made me realize that either...we are 'man for the knife and I for the fish', or we have to raise the knife and let the world be the fish, let us Slaughter."

call…

Yuan Kai exhaled again.

He didn't fully agree with Yuan Feng's words, but... in the face of the family's interests, this view was understandable.

It was because the patriarchs of the past generations were as decisive as Yuan Feng that the Yuan family could stand on the undefeated peak step by step in this official career.

This world...

The expression of propriety, righteousness and shame is the essence of "cannibalism".

It is better for me to be the knife than "man is the knife and I am the fish"!
"Cough cough..."

With a light cough, Yuan Kai spoke again. "I heard that the Yulin temple master has already returned to Luoyang? He will definitely not wait to die, brother, what is he going to do?"

"Hehe..." Yuan Feng smiled slightly, "Spread the story of Guan Changsheng's treachery and murderousness, a thousand lives are enough to give him the reputation of a 'murderer', and it is enough to crucify him forever On the pillar of shame, the old man would like to see, Guan Changsheng, who is covered in thorns, would the Master Yulin dare to touch him? How would he touch him?"

In a word...

Yuan Feng suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, and with the sound of "donglong", heavy clouds surged in the sky, the sky darkened, and the muffled sound of thunder came faintly.

...

...

In the morning light, the thin shadow of the sun is projected into the palace and into the Palace of Long Live.

Today, the emperor Liu Hong did not have an early court on the grounds of "occasionally feeling the wind and cold"...

But in the Hall of Thousand Years and Long Lives at Chenshi, the emperor Liu Hong, the leader of the Xiyuan School's lieutenant army Jian Shuo, and the newly promoted Huben General Wang Yue have already appeared in it.

Obviously, they have been chatting for a long time.

Along with Liu Yu's return, Wang Yue, who secretly protected her, also returned to the imperial capital. An hour ago, he knelt in the Qianqiu Long Live Hall and told the emperor Liu Hong about everything that happened in Xieliang County.

Liu Hong was very interested to hear that at the end, the cooperation of Yu'er and Xun Yu found out the criminal evidence against Yan He and Qin Niu. Liu Hong's hearing of these was unremarkable, even a little dull.

To deal with a dog official and a bully, if Yu'er and Xun Yu take action, isn't that easy to catch?

But... the more I listened to it, the speed of the development of the situation was beyond Liu Hong's cognition, unexpectedly...someone could turn the tide when Yu'er was sure of winning.

Liu Hong couldn't help but close his eyes and meditate.

"Your Majesty." After Wang Yue reported, Jian Shuo was the first to speak: "How many families are there who have such great ability and can achieve such a level? Even if there is no evidence, after all, Yan He is from the Yuan family in Runan In the hometown of my disciples, the situation has been exposed, who is the one who least wants to investigate this matter, and who wants Yan He to die the most? It's clear at a glance!"

Jian Shuo complained about the eldest son of the emperor...

Liu Hong, who had pondered for a long time, finally spoke.

"Haha, this is just a small test, can the big guy behind you not sit still?"

Thinking of this, Liu Hong turned his head to look at Wang Yue.

"General Huben, did you send someone to keep an eye on Guan Changsheng?"

"The lower official knows that this person has a lot to do with him, so he sent his confidantes to watch over him." Wang Yue said, "It's just that Guan Changsheng seems to have been poisoned. It's getting worse and worse these days, and it seems that he can't last much longer."

"Where's Liu Yu?" Liu Hong continued to ask, because Wang Yue didn't know Liu Yu's real identity, so Liu Hong didn't call him "Yu'er".

Liu Yu has not yet reached the crown, and has not been bestowed by the elders, so Liu Hong directly addresses him by his first name.

Wang Yue reported the truth. "Guanzhu Liu is also sending people to look for this Guan Changsheng. It seems that he intends to bring him into Luoyang City. When he was still on the tower of Xieliang County, he left a sentence-'Enter Luoyang, you will live, leave Luoyang, you will die'!"

"If you enter Luoyang, you will live? If you leave Luoyang, you will die?" Liu Hong repeated this sentence.

Jian Shuo hastily reminded. "Your Majesty, this is not right. If this is indeed a conspiracy of the Yuan family, then Guan Changsheng took a thousand lives and entered Luoyang, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap? It should be that if you leave Luoyang, you will live, and if you enter Luoyang, you will die."

Jian Shuo blurted out his words, Liu Hong pondered for a moment, then waved his hand.

This is not the words of "prophecy".

Live or not, dead or not is not important at all, the important thing is...

"Liu Yu dares to say these words, so that proves that he has a way to save this Guan Changsheng?"

Speaking of this, Liu Hong got up slowly, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky outside the window, softly chanting the name "Guan Changsheng".

Because of Yu'er's attention to him and his spared no effort to rescue him, Liu Hong was very interested in this guy.

"Ha ha…"

Finally, Liu Hong smiled, with an intriguing smile.

"It seems that Yulin Guan is planning to fight the Yuan family in a ring and a fight. It's interesting, and it's getting more and more interesting."

Speaking of this, Liu Hong squinted his eyes and gave an order immediately with a look of great interest.

"General Huben."

"The last general is here!" Wang Yue got up quickly.

"Since Guan Changsheng 'enters Luoyang, he will live', then you can find a way for Liu Yu's people to find Guan Changsheng, arrange arrangements along the way, and let him arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible. I would like to see how this Yulin temple master can rehabilitate Guan Changsheng! "

"Here!" Wang Yue agreed, and was about to step back.

"Wait!" Liu Hong added another sentence. "General Huben, you are incomparable! Protect Liu Yu!"

What surprised Wang Yue was that the emperor Liu Hong uttered such a sentence at the end, and the tone was dignified, revealing infinite firmness and unquestionable.

It's hard to imagine that an emperor would spare no effort to protect a Taoist.

Wang Yue didn't dare to be negligent, and bowed his hands to accept the order.

"As long as there is the last general, Guanzhu Liu will not have the slightest loss."

"That's good!" Liu Hong nodded.

Wang Yue retreated slowly...

For a moment, only Liu Hong and Jian Shuo were left in the entire Qianqiu Long Live Hall, and Jian Shuo quickly expressed what he was holding back in his heart.

"Your Majesty, no matter how powerful the eldest son of the emperor is, the power of Yulin Guan is still far behind that of the Runan Yuan family. If we really want to fight...then..."

Before Jian Shuo could finish speaking, Liu Hong waved his hand with a smile, signaling him not to say too much.

Liu Hong turned around, sighed with a smile: "You said Yu'er's power is not enough? Haha, the current Taiwei Qiao Xuan who is in charge of the military affairs of the Han Dynasty, and the servant Cai Yong who is in charge of Yi Lang's advice, these are all him. In my opinion, he is evenly matched with the Yuan family, and in the case of Guan Changsheng, it depends on who wins the move?"

The voice just fell.

A Xiyuan school lieutenant reported. "Your Majesty...Zhang Changshi has something important to see His Majesty."

"Pass!" Liu Hong beckoned immediately.

Not long after, the door opened, Zhang Rang lowered his head, hurried to Liu Hong with small steps, and bowed to report.

"Your Majesty, the streets and alleys are very lively today, and there are suddenly two more voices among the common people."

Well…

Zhang Rang's words immediately attracted Liu Hong's attention.

"what sound?"

Zhang Rang quickly said: "One is a demon with blood in his eyes, from Xieliang, named Guan Changsheng... He slaughtered the old and killed the young, and fled outside with more than a thousand lawsuits on his back. He was called the big devil in the public!"

"Secondly... it's a story that made everyone cry. It was told by a student. It's called... what's it called... "The Injustice of Dou E"!"

Big devil?
Dou E wronged?
These keywords were suddenly extracted, and Liu Hong's eyes narrowed in an instant.

No, it's already been fought!

...

...

The sun shines on the nine ridges, in the Taiwei official office with double eaves, Liu Yu, Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong are sitting opposite each other.

Cai Yong was the first to sigh with emotion.

"Blood splattered in vain, snow in June, three years of severe drought, what a shocking Dou E's grievance."

Qiao Xuan also added. "Whether Dou E is wronged or not is not important. The important thing is that under this story, there will be people questioning whether Guan Changsheng is wronged or not? It's just that Dou E's wrong can be practiced in vain with blood splashing, snow in June, and severe drought for three years. Redress? Guan Changsheng’s grievances, how will Guanzhu Liu plan to redress for him?”

"It can't be blood spattered for nothing, with snow in June and three years of drought, right?"

"Let's not talk about this first..." Liu Yu glanced at the two of them. "Thanks to the help of Qiao Zi and Cai Zi, otherwise, "The Injustice of Dou E" would not have spread so quickly. It has spread so widely in the streets and alleys that everyone knows about it."

"Your enemies are not idle." Qiao Xuan reminded.

Liu Yu couldn't help but smile. "That's right, if it weren't for the preconceived notion of "The Injustice of Dou E", Guan Changsheng's reputation would no longer be preserved, and with the excitement of the crowd, what room would there be for it to change?"

"Guanzhu Liu, forgive me." Qiao Xuan's tone became more serious: "The story of "The Injustice of Dou E" alone is not enough to rehabilitate Guan Changsheng. I know you value him, but Guan Changsheng now You are covered in thorns, if you are not careful, you will be implicated, and there are people who want you to be implicated."

"I know...so..." At this point in the chat, Liu Yu leaned against the wall, looking tired, but still in good spirits.

It could be seen that for this case, for Guan Changsheng, he was heartbroken. "If I have a way, I can also make 'blood splattered for nothing, snow in June, drought for three years'?"

Well…

Liu Yu's tone of voice was very relaxed when he spoke, but both Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong's eyes widened in an instant, and they couldn't help but take a deep look at him.

If, as Liu Yu said, the story of "The Injustice of Dou E" is popular now, and there are "blood splattered in vain, snow in June, and three years of drought", then the emotions of the people can easily be stirred up.

If this emotion is guided a little bit, it will be a huge energy.

"how can that be possible?"

Cai Yong immediately shook his head...

Obviously, he remembered the "Golden Merchant Gate" incident last year. It was because of these strange phenomena that he was punished by eunuchs and scholar-bureaucrats, and he was almost exiled to the frontier.

"Last year, people in white clothes entered Deyang Hall; black air fell from the sky and fell into the east courtyard of Wende Hall; green snakes appeared in the back hall of Yutang..." Liu Yu's eyes slowly fell on Cai Yong's face.

At this moment, his expression is soft and his eyes are clear... But, there is a little more fierceness and firmness in his eyes, showing a lot of confidence.

"It's not the first time this weird phenomenon happened, so what's the problem if it happens again?"

"Are you really sure?" Qiao Xuan also asked solemnly.

"Don't give it a try? Who knows?" Liu Yu leaned back against the wall with a smile, "Since it's already unlucky, and I have to fight a giant so early, I can only go all out and give it a go...just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that I need to ensure that Guan Chang was born in Luoyang, otherwise everything I do will be meaningless." Liu Yu frowned, with a hint of annoyance in her tone.

As if, Liu Yu also had a lot of helplessness in her heart.

——Guan Changsheng, Guan Changsheng!

——In case of trouble, I can fight for you!
- But... you can't always run away!

...

...

In Mengjin Port, not far from Luoyang, there is a rudimentary medical center, but the shabbyness reveals cleanliness. It can be seen...the doctor here is a person who loves cleanliness.

This doctor is a friend of Xu Huang's. Over the years, Xu Huang has been a knight-errant in the world and met many people from all walks of life.

Among them, there is only one person who knows medical skills.

Xu Huang's original intention was to take Guan Yu to visit the Yulin temple master. He heard that the Yulin temple master had arrived in Luoyang, but... Guan Yu was poisoned and his body deteriorated rapidly, so he had to change his original plan.

Even if Luoyang is close at hand, they can only settle down in Mengjin Port first.

Fortunately, the doctor here is a friend. With the medicine, Guan Yu's poison was relieved a little, but to be completely cured...according to his medical skills, it is far from enough.

What is more frightening than the illness is the topic of discussion among the people around.

——"Xie Liangguan Changsheng angrily killed women, children, old and young, carried a thousand lives on his back, murdered like hemp, and committed heinous crimes..."

It seemed that someone wanted to crucify him on the pillar of shame.

Guan Yu has always paid attention to his reputation, and hearing this made his poison worse.

"What's going on outside the door?"

Guan Yu, who was lying on the bed, opened his mouth and asked as if he heard someone talking outside the medical hall.

Xu Huang walked to the door, listened carefully, and then walked back.

However, different from the dignified face just now, it seems that after hearing these conversations, his cheeks became a little lighter.

"Isn't it my argument about Changsheng killing the demon king?"

Guan Yu opened his mouth and asked.

Xu Huang explained again and again: "Longevity is not... but a story that is more suitable for your current state of mind."

"story?"

"That's right, the story of Dou E's injustice." Xu Huang told Guan Yu carefully.

Including the weak widow Dou E, how she was framed by scoundrels and beaten by stupid officials, how she became a murderer, and was sentenced to death!Including before the execution, Dou E, full of grief and indignation, made three vows: blood spattered in vain, snow in June, and drought for three years!
It also includes Dou E's grievances, and the three vows are fulfilled one by one.

It is precisely these... that makes Guan Yu feel the same way today.

"What a touching Dou E's injustice!"

The voice just fell...

The sound of "treading" footsteps outside the door has already sounded.

——"Red face, Grandma Te, so you are here?"

——"You bastard, what are you doing hiding here, we are looking for you so desperately!"

But it wasn't Zhang Fei's signature roaring voice?Who else?
...
