Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 203 Thunderous Fury

Liu Che's breathing stagnated slightly and he snorted: "You walk slower, I'll go see Sima Qian first."

Before Gillian could respond to him, Liu Che had already jogged away.

The palace attendants on the side hurriedly came forward and helped Gillian. Gillian's face was filled with a happy smile: "Long face, too long face, hahaha..."

Sima Qian knelt and sat respectfully in front of Liu Che. This was a very close distance. Only ministers could be like this. Usually, those in this position were basically Wei Qing. Even Prime Minister Xue Ze might not be treated like this.

Sima Qian was flattered and clenched the document in his hand, but for some reason, his palms were sweating all the time, but the weather was obviously very cold.

"Many of the people who froze to death on the road have disappeared, but they are also classified as people who froze to death. I dare to say that these people actually did not need to die, but some people want to use their deaths to arouse public anger. Attacking the major factories in Anyang County, this is the result of personal interrogation by Wei Chen, please ask your Majesty to take a look!"

Chuntuo glanced at the emperor who turned from overjoyed to furious, and saw him slightly nodding his head. He immediately walked down, took out the document, carefully knelt beside the imperial case, and unfolded it for Liu Che to read.

After just a few glances, Liu Che's face became even more ugly: "Xuan Zhang Tang..." But halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped, looked at Sima Qian and asked, "Anyang Marquis, do you have anything to say?" Are you presenting it to me on your behalf?"

"No." Sima Qian cupped his hands and said, "Since Wei Chen started interrogating these people, Marquis Anyang has never seen Wei Chen, and Wei Chen has never seen Marquis Anyang."

"It's good for him. Let me do all the lifting of the butcher knife." Liu Che's eyes seemed to have flames beating.

Sima Qian simply did not dare to look at Liu Che. This look was so terrifying that he even felt as if he was going to die under the emperor's gaze.

"You did a good job." Liu Che's words of praise did not make Sima Qian feel any better.

Sima Qian said: "This is a matter for minor ministers."

Liu Che pushed the case to the side: "Give it to Zhang Tang. I don't want to wait too long. I will investigate these people immediately. I will use their heads to commemorate the innocent people who were frozen to death in winter!"

"Here!" Chuntuo hurriedly took away the files and left here.

Liu Che's mood became calmer: "What do you think of Marquis Anyang?"

"The pillar of the country should not go to Huainan." Sima Qian did not shy away from his true thoughts.

Liu Che looked at Tai Shiling in front of him and felt that this guy was really... not very tactful.

"It's my arrangement to go to Huainan Kingdom, don't say anything more."

"Wei Chen is out of character." Sima Qian said hurriedly, complaining in his heart. In the past, the monarch used to shout "A Qian" more enthusiastically than anyone else, but he didn't tell himself about this...

"Do you want to go?" Liu Che asked again.

Sima Qian raised his head and glanced at Liu Che, then quickly lowered his head: "We are a minister of Taishi, how can we go to the vassal state?"

"Tai Shi ordered me to keep it for you. When you go to the vassal state, how about you act as a guest aide to the Hou Men of Anyang?"

"Your Majesty, this..." Sima Qian didn't understand what this meant.

"I like your style of speaking and doing things very much. You have the legacy of the Spring and Autumn Taishi. If the person mentioned in the copy is replaced by someone else, it may have already been the same as that courageous Hanzhong Sheriff. You commit suicide to avoid harming your family, but you are different. You dare to record everyone and present it to me. I appreciate your courage very much."

Sima Qian still only had one sentence: "It's your duty."

"Then are you willing to go with him to Huainan as a guest of Anyang Hou?"

"I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!" Sima Qian suddenly realized that his upper limit may not be just a Taishi Ling.Liu Che's mouth showed a smile: "Very good..."

After saying this, Liu Che waved everyone in the hall to retreat. He and Sima Qian talked in secret for half an hour.

Walking on the streets of Chang'an, Sima Qian suddenly missed the spacious and clean concrete roads of Anyang City, the long flowing water on both sides of the street, and street lights...

The falling snow fell on my face and the pedestrians passed by in a hurry. It all seemed like a dream world that had nothing to do with me.

At this time, Sima Qian saw Zhang Tang riding a horse, his face colder than ice and snow. Behind him, there was a long team of criminals who had just been captured.

At this moment, he understood why the emperor liked Zhang Tang so much. Zhang Tang acted vigorously and resolutely. As soon as he walked out of Weiyang Palace, everyone had been caught.

These people walked in the wind and snow with bare feet and single clothes. They didn't dare to make a sound when they cried. They could only let the tears flow down from their cheeks reddened by the cold like a small ditch flowing quietly outside Anyang City.

Anyone who dares to cry out will be whipped by the soldiers of Tingwei Mansion next to him, and his skin will be torn open and his blood will flow out in an instant.

Zhang Tang noticed Sima Qian standing on the roadside. His ice-like face was stunned for a moment, and then he squeezed out an extremely ferocious smile and greeted Sima Qian with a slight cup of his hand.

Sima Qian was startled. There really was someone who looked uglier and scarier when he smiled than when he cried. He bowed his hands and then stared blankly at these wealthy families who were above the clouds in the past, being escorted away like pigs and dogs.

During this period, Sima Qian noticed several female relatives with disheveled hair. They were pretty and could not see their feet when they lowered their heads. Marquis Anyang would definitely like them.

I don't know...

Sima Qian condemned himself with the same expression, but after noticing some of the more beautiful female relatives, Sima Qian suddenly showed a smile that only appeared on Li Huan's face, and muttered rather depressedly: " This is better, but there’s no money.”

"Well, I don't know if I can borrow some money from the prince?" Sima Qian thought about his salary and shook his head. Forget it, the prince will lend him money, but he can't pay it back or support it. Such a beautiful woman.

But that doesn’t stop you from experiencing it, right?

After all, it doesn’t cost much to experience it, right?

"Sima Qian, Sima Qian, you have really fallen during this trip to Anyang County. Why are you filled with such thoughts now?"

After despising himself fiercely, Sima Qian found a place with less wind and watched with the passers-by on the roadside. Several rough men were already commenting on the female relatives of the passing prisoners. Sima Qian despised him fiercely. After talking for a while, I happily joined in.

The sudden arrest of several top dignitaries swept through the entire Chang'an City like a beacon.After many people heard about it, they subconsciously thought of a few things they had done, or a dozen or dozens of things... Well, there were too many, and I don't know what bad things His Majesty's Embroidered Clothes Envoy discovered they had done. Son, he was taken away immediately.

Therefore, in the huge city of Chang'an, many dignitaries thought of one person, the emperor's biological mother—the Queen Mother.

There was an endless stream of people asking to see the Queen Mother. After hearing this, Liu Che just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.

However, there was one person in the entire Chang'an City who burst into hearty laughter after hearing the news.

This person is Li Guang.

"Master, there is a person outside the door who claims to be your old friend and has come to see you!"

Li Guang was in a happy mood. He suddenly heard the servant's report and felt quite surprised: "I, Li Guang, have lost power now. What old friends do I still have? Didn't he tell me who he is?"
