Chapter 473 Cutting with a Sharp Blade
Yang Yanzhang cursed loudly: "Liu Yu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. You are making a false accusation!"

Liu Yu said coldly: "Your guilt is more serious than those of the traitors. You dare to attack Qianhu, the deputy of Jinyiwei, and you are simply bringing your own disaster! I will take you back to the capital now and hand you over to Jinyiwei for punishment. ! Come here, tie up this traitor first."

Yang Yanzhang cried desperately: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu is falsely accusing me. I did not assassinate Liu Yu at all, nor did I send anyone to assassinate him. Your Majesty, you must believe me. I am a loyal minister and good official, and there is no way I could assassinate Liu Yu." Yu."

A Forbidden Army soldier rushed over and slashed with his sword. Yang Yanzhang closed his eyes.

Suddenly, there was only a pop and the sound of a sharp blade cutting flesh.

Yang Yanzhang opened his eyes, but was surprised to find that the long knife that was slashing at him was actually nailed by an iron nail. A figure stood in front of Yang Yanzhang, it was Liu Yu who was dressed in military armor.

Yang Yanzhang was moved to tears and shouted: "Liu Yu, thank you for saving me. You, why are you here? Did you expect this?"

Liu Yu sneered: "Do you think I, Liu Yu, am a fool? On the night of the assassination last night, you deliberately provoked and angered His Majesty, and then took the opportunity to assassinate.

If my guess is correct, you must have shot the assassin in the arm with a concealed weapon before he died, creating the illusion that he was escaping.

You plan to escape in the dark, then blend in with the crowd, leave the siege of the Beifu Army, return to Jiangzhou, and continue to be an official. right? "

Yang Yanzhang nodded: "Yes, that's my plan. As long as I leave the Beifu Army, I can find my father. With his strength in Jiangnan, he will definitely keep me safe."

Liu Yu laughed: "I'm afraid you also know my character, Liu Yu. If nothing else, I, Liu Yu, cannot tolerate my subordinates being plotted by the enemy. Do you think I will let you go? "

Yang Yanzhang rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Yu, my Yang family has been loyal to you for generations, and I am sincere to Your Majesty. If you dare to attack me, you are avenging a public and private revenge!"

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Yang Yanzhang, if I remember correctly, you lived in Yangzhou since you were a child and depended on your parents. Later, you passed the Jinshi examination and became a Sima, so you stayed in Jingkou, married a wife and had children. .”

Yang Yanzhang sighed: "Liu Yu, we Ming people don't tell secrets. I really don't like a remote and wild place like Jingkou. It's not suitable for me. But your Beifu Army has been very kind to me in the past few months, and I don't want to be either." Maybe repay kindness with hatred.

I've been here for three or four years and I'm used to it. "

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't rush to defend, Yang Yanzhang, let me ask you, have you ever traveled to Jingzhou?"

Yang Yanzhang asked curiously: "Where is Jingzhou?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Jingzhou is a land east of the Yangtze River. It is 800 miles away from Luoyang. You are a scholar, so you don't know this."

Yang Yanzhang's brows furrowed: "Yes, I have been to Jingzhou, but not to Jiangdong. I went to Yizhou. After traveling around for a while, I returned." Liu Yu nodded: "Yizhou is in the south of the Yangtze River. In the land of plenty, the food output far exceeds that of Jiangdong. But there are countless bandits and bandits. You go there just to avoid these bandits."

Yang Yanzhang gritted his teeth: "That's right. When I was serving in Jiangdong, many of my colleagues were officials in Yizhou. I lived in their hometown for a while, and they respected me very much.

Unfortunately, when he was in office, he was too noble and attracted bandit attacks, causing heavy losses. So after I went to Yizhou this time, I decided to get rid of this problem, give more gifts to my neighbors, and make some good friends.

In this way, even if you encounter bandits, you can turn conflicts into friendship. "

"My plan is very successful. Every time I go to Yizhou, I can win the favor of my neighbors, and I will also collect some evidence of bandits and bandits. If I really want to clean up the house in the future, I can use it as evidence. "

Liu Yu said calmly: "So, this is the reason why you assassinated me this time.

You want to use this method to let the villagers know that you, Yang Yanzhang, are a good official, so that when someone makes a mistake in the future, they can be persuaded to defect to you, even your old troops in Yizhou, right? "

Yang Yanzhang gritted his teeth: "Yes, I was entrusted with this matter, so I hope you won't interfere. My Yang family is innocent."

Liu Yu smiled and said: "I hope so too, but Mr. Yang, this matter has been brought to the emperor, do you think the emperor will not investigate?
Although I am highly skilled in martial arts, I can't beat four hands with two fists. There are so many of you, and there are times when I can't protect you fully. If I let you go, if any thief uses the same method to assassinate you again, I, Liu Yu, will be guilty of a great crime. "

A sinister light flashed across Yang Yanzhang's face: "Don't worry, I designed all this myself and it has nothing to do with you. As long as you don't arrest me today and promise not to tell the emperor about this, I can promise you , I will never go against you again."

Liu Yu curled up his lips: "Do you think I will believe your lies? Yang Yanzhang, since you are here to assassinate me this time, I must get rid of you. No matter whether you are willing to cooperate with me in acting or not, you must pay the price! "

Yang Yanzhang said bitterly: "Liu Yu, don't bully others too much! I have already said that all this is my own fault and has nothing to do with your Beifu Army."

Liu Yu said coldly: "This kind of nonsense can deceive outsiders but not me. Do you want to use this matter to force the palace to rebel and take my life?

Or do you want to promote your teachers and classmates above the court in order to seize the throne? I can tell you, don’t even think about it. Our Beifu Army is your Majesty’s direct descendant, and we will never betray Your Majesty. If you have the guts, give it a try. "

Yang Yanzhang said bitterly: "Liu Yu, I know that you have a high prestige in the military, but don't forget that there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. Don't you understand this truth?

You are now a lieutenant general in the army, holding great power, and I am just a small official. Once you dominate the world, and I am still a small official like a sesame mung bean, are you not afraid that I will replace you in the future? By then, you will have nothing. "

Liu Yu shook his head: "Yang Yanzhang, I can tell you responsibly, you will never catch up with me. It's not that my talent is higher than yours, but my character, which makes me worthy of the world. If it were another person sitting here If you have great power, that may not be the case.”
