Chapter 182 The Jianchun Gate Murder Case ([-])

April is early summer.

Outside the gate of Luoyang Nangong, a group of people have been kneeling for a long time.Although the temperature in early summer was not very high, the sun was particularly vicious that day.I didn't feel anything at first, but after a long time, it only made people dizzy and sweaty.

Kneeling at the front is a woman about 27 years old.

I saw her wearing a snow-white long dress and a white scarf around her head. She was as beautiful as a flower.

Behind her, there are more than 30 people.

They were all dressed in plain clothes, with grief and indignation on their faces.

Since early morning, these people have been kneeling outside the Nangong Gate without making any noise, just kneeling there quietly.

"Hey, that's not Huangfu Weiming's widow, Feng Shi. What's the purpose of this?"

"Haven't you heard recently? The whole Luoyang city is spreading the word that Huangfu Yizhen did not die at the hands of the rebels, but was plotted against by Xiaoxiao. Huangfu Song is Huangfu Weiming's nephew, and as Huangfu Song's aunt, Mrs. Feng, Naturally, we must stand up and call for injustice."

"Well, that's how it is... I heard that the one who killed Huangfusong seems to be..."

"I didn't hear anything, and you didn't say anything. It's not something like us that can get involved."

"I also know, it's just that there is no wind without waves, I'm afraid this kind of thing is not groundless."

"..."

At this time, many people had gathered outside the Nangong Gate.

It was not that the courtiers in the past didn't see it, but they turned a blind eye one by one, hurriedly bypassed the group of people kneeling outside the door, and left quickly.

There is something tricky about it, and most of the courtiers are well aware of it.

The risks and viciousness hidden in it are impossible to bear unless you have a certain seat.

Yuan Kai's vehicle avoided the crowd of Huangfu's family by a long distance.He sat in the car with a gloomy face as if dripping water.

Inside the car, Yuan Shao knelt quietly, without saying a word.

"At first, did you check, who spread the word?"

Yuan Shao shook his head lightly, "Uncle, there is no result yet. But based on my nephew's observation, it is not difficult to find the source of this message."

"You mean..."

"There are not many people who know about this matter. Especially after you ordered it to be silenced, there are only a few people. If my nephew's guess is correct, there are probably very few people here who can spread such rumors. Among several people."

"Based on your original opinion, who would it be?"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, "Earlier Cai Weng rejected the marriage for Gonglu, and then Cai Weng made a marriage promise with the Dong family son. With Gonglu's temperament, how could he bear such a blow? If my nephew sees it, I'm afraid there are nine out of ten. It will be his doing."

"There is no plan on the road, no plan on the road!"

Yuan Kai beat the table in the car vigorously, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't they know that the war in Liangzhou is at a critical point? Why do they abandon the overall situation and do this kind of thing that hurts others and does not benefit themselves? In this way, the Dong family son I'm afraid it's... I'm not worried about him. What I'm worried about is the battle situation in Liangzhou. If Dong Zhuo stops fighting in a fit of anger, the problems here will become bigger! I originally wanted to fight first and then fight, so It ruined my plans."

"This... You also know that Gonglu's temper can't be suffered in the slightest. It's just that I didn't expect that Mrs. Feng would be so tough that she would come to Nangong to kneel quietly. I'm afraid it won't be long before it will be passed on to the emperor. in the ear."

Yuan Kui thought for a while, "At the beginning, I wanted you to pick up those people from Gonglu immediately...Gaolu, the success is not enough to fail, I should try to get him out of Luoyang as soon as possible. It's just Dong Jiazi...you still think too much Find a way to keep it safe."

"Nephew understands!"

Yuan Shao got out of the car, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he sneered in his heart: Gong Gong, don't blame me for disregarding my brother's affection, who wants you to always put on the airs of being born in front of me.Now, I have no choice but to ask you to stay away from Luoyang. I should take over the Yuan family's business.

Regarding the marriage of Dong Pi and Cai Yong, Yuan Shao did not let his guard down because of Cao Cao's words.

On the contrary, he felt that the Dong family was too powerful, and it was a bit uncontrollable.It happened to take this opportunity to suppress him, and then to help Dong Bi when he was at the end of his rope.Hehe, in this way, the Dong family is still not grateful to him?
As for Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao was naturally willing to take this opportunity to let him leave the power center of the Yuan family completely.

He Yong and Xu You are all his confidants.

But the relationship between the three of them, in the eyes of outsiders, is not very harmonious.

Few people even know the process of the three of them interacting.When Yuan Shao hibernated, he had formed an alliance with Xu You and others.

Looking up at the Feng family kneeling outside the palace gate, Yuan Shao couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Yilang Zhang Jun was about to enter the palace for business, when he passed by the Nangong gate, he was stunned to see Feng's family kneeling there.

Quickly ordered someone to stop the car, and Zhang Jun got out of the car.

"Why is madam here?"

Feng raised her head, her expression indifferent.

She was originally the wife that Huang Fugui came to marry. Although there is a big age gap between the old husband and the young wife, they are very happy and loving.

Unexpectedly, Tian was jealous of her confidante, not long after Feng's marriage, Huang Fugui died.

Later, Huangfu Song died in Yingchuan, causing the Huangfu family's family to decline rapidly.If it wasn't for Huangfu Gui's popularity back then, and the fact that many of his students were ministers in the imperial court and would give him some help from time to time, he might not be able to stay in Luoyang long ago.

After Huangfusong's death, Huangfu's family originally planned to go to Shu with the Xie brothers.

Unexpectedly, he heard rumors of Huangfusong's death.One of Huangfusong's personal soldiers back then secretly came to the door and told Feng that the murderer who killed Huangfusong was the son of the Dong family, Dong Xiping and Dong Xiping, who was now living in Luoyang.

In terms of seniority, Huangfusong is Feng's nephew.

In terms of friendship, after Huangfugui's death, Huangfusong also respected the Feng family very much, and he never slackened in the slightest.

Therefore, after hearing the rumor, Mrs. Feng immediately summoned more than [-] members of the Huangfu family to file a complaint outside the Nangong Gate.

Hearing Zhang Jun's question, Feng's eyes turned red, and a look of sorrow appeared on his quiet and sweet face.

"Zhang Yilang, my concubine wants to clear my nephew's innocence today. Now Luoyang is full of rumors that Yizhen died at the hands of the Dong family's son. Haven't you heard of it, Yilang? It's a pity that people are cold and warm, Yilang was the first person to ask."

Zhang Jun blushed and didn't know how to speak.

How could I not have heard of it, but this matter is of great importance.One side is the dilapidated Huangfu family, and the other side is the thriving governor of Liangzhou. How can you let the courtiers and workers choose?What's more, everyone knows that Dong Jiazi is a tyrannical bastard.He is going to marry Cai Yong again, the power of the two families is the same, I am afraid that the future will be limitless.

Who dares to get involved in this kind of thing without any real evidence?
But Zhang Jun's temperament is quite straightforward, and his friendship with Huangfusong back then was not shallow.

Hearing Feng's words, he said, "Ma'am, it's not that I don't care about it, it's just that there is no evidence for this kind of thing. How can people be convinced only by rumors? If you can provide enough evidence, Ma'am, Zhang Jun will fight Even if you die, you must uphold justice."

"Master Zhang..."

Two lines of clear tears flowed from Feng's eyes, but it was like pear blossoms with rain, which made people feel more charming.

It's no wonder that the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the poor and the humble see the truth.At such a juncture, if someone can stand up and speak out, how can you not be moved?

"The concubine's identity is not without evidence. The person who accompanied my nephew to Yingchuan yesterday told me that one of the murderers who killed my nephew was that villain Dong Xiping. He also left a testimony and is willing to Testify for me."

"really?"

"If the concubine tells half a lie, it will be struck by lightning."

"In this case... Please give me the testimony and pleadings. If Madam trusts me, I will personally report to the emperor."

"Jian Shou, bring the testimony!"

A young man stepped forward and handed Feng a pleading paper written in blood, along with the testimony.

The young man's name is Huangfu Jianshou, the son of Huangfu Song.

Feng put the pleading paper and testimony in Zhang Jun's hands, "Master Zhang, this pleading paper was written with the blood of 37 members of my royal family, and the testimony was also left by that entourage yesterday. I'll just kneel here Wait, my lord!"

"Please, my lord!"

Mrs. Feng kowtowed, and the members of Huangfu's family also fell to the ground and shouted.

Zhang Jun felt his blood boil, grabbed the pleadings and testimony, and said loudly: "Everyone in the world says that human relationships are cold and warm, but there are always people with righteous hearts in this world. If Zhang Jun is not talented, he will definitely submit this pleadings and testimony to the emperor for justice." Really seek justice."

After finishing speaking, he stepped into the car and ordered people to drive the car to Nangong.

Huangfu Jianshou said softly: "Uncle, Mr. Zhang, can you really avenge my father?"

Feng shook her head lightly, "I don't know. I just hope that as Master Zhang said, there will always be justice in this world."

After finishing speaking, she stopped speaking and knelt quietly on the spot.

Huangfu Jianshou and the others stopped talking, and waited with Feng Shi, waiting for that 'justice' to appear again.

******
After noon, Han Emperor Liu Hong finally issued his will.

Capture Dong Bi and hand it over to Dali for interrogation.Tingwei Wu Qiong presided over the case, and no one should intervene.

After all, both Huangfusong and Huangfugui are quite popular in the court.Seeing such a situation now, countless people immediately flocked to denounce Dong Pi's crimes in Luoyang.Even the murder of Xu Shao in anger was revealed.

That night, Dong Bi was having dinner at home.

Suddenly a gentleman came to arrest Dong Pi and go to Dali.

Sha Moke was the first to get angry, "It's unreasonable, I want to see who dares to take my second brother."

Dian Wei snorted coldly, and also jumped up against the case.

Cheng Li led the giant magician to cheer outside the gate of the mansion, and then pulled away the team. In the quiet queue, there was endless killing intent.

It was Dali Zuo Ping Xiji who came to arrest Dong Pi. When he was young, he was a lecturer of Zheng Xuan, a doctor of six classics. He was proficient in law and was quite famous.But seeing the ferocious appearance of the troll, he couldn't help being startled, and he dared not take any action.

The confrontation between the two sides naturally attracted the attention of many people.

After hearing the news, Beidu Lieutenant Xie Yuan quickly rushed to Yingchun Gate with his troops to support Xiji.

Xie Yuan and Dong Bi have met before, and they can be regarded as nodding acquaintances.

But his wife is Huangfusong's daughter. This matter involves the murderer of his father-in-law, how can Dong Bi be let go.

Xie Yuan was dispatched, and of course his elder brother Xie Jian couldn't sit idly by.

In just one stick of incense, thousands of people gathered on one side of Xiji, and the Yingchunmen Street was tightly blocked.

People in the market naturally don't care who is good and who is bad.

It's just that this kind of excitement can be watched, and of course it should not be missed.

Xiji's courage suddenly surged, he urged his horse forward, and shouted at the troll: "I am Dali Zuoping Xiji, and I am here to arrest the murderer Dong Bi. If you are smart, you should immediately get out of the way and sacrifice Dong Bi." , otherwise don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

"Make way, make way!"

The men behind him yelled in unison, very powerful.

Cheng Li stood on the steps, with one person on the left and one behind him.

The burly man on the left is about twenty-nine years old, eight feet long, with a black face and yellow eyes, and a hulking back.

In his hand was a sixty-jin Santing machete, full of murderous intent.This person's name is Wang Shuang, and his surname is Ziquan. He is from Lintao, and he is from the same hometown as Dong Pi.Younger than he looks, only 16 years old.When the Chilechuan Ranch was recruiting troops to form trolls, Wang Shuang was the first to sign up.For Dong Bi, he sincerely admires and is also extremely grateful.

When Cheng Yuanzhi attacked Lintao, if Dong Pi hadn't appeared, I'm afraid...

Dong Bi's heroism was engraved in Wang Shuang's heart at that time.Later, Dong Bi came back from the northwest and ordered Pei Yuanshao and others to form a troll warrior. Wang Shuang immediately signed up to participate, and was placed under Dong Qi's command by virtue of his personal bravery.

Afterwards, he trained hard, and even made great contributions in the bloody battle with Shaodangren in the Battle of Chilechuan.

Now he has become a general of hundreds of troll warriors under Dong Bi's command, and he is an officer second only to Cheng Li.

The person on Cheng Li's right is named Cheng Lian, who, like Cheng Li, was adopted and trained by Cheng Fang since he was a child.

He is also the second only to Cheng Li among the married giant magicians.

These two are now Cheng Li's right-hand men, and they are both extremely brave.

Hearing Xi Ji's yelling, the two were furious.Shouted sharply: "The troll wields a golden hammer!"

"The whole world is shocked...Kill!"

Five hundred trolls took a step forward in unison, and the incomparable murderous aura forced the public to take a step back involuntarily.

The war horse under Xi Xi's crotch screamed violently, and backed away anxiously.

The faces of the Xie family brothers suddenly changed, and they cried out secretly: This Dong Xiping is worthy of being a tiger and wolf general, and he has such a close companion?
"Three thousand soldiers under the sect!"

With an indifferent face, Cheng Li stood on the steps like an iceberg and shouted loudly.

The giant magician moved forward again, and Ma Yang held it high, and responded: "Dang Heluoyang City...Kill, kill, kill!"

With the word 'kill', the troll warriors took one step forward, and after the order, the five hundred troll warriors advanced three steps, but made Xi Xi's subordinates retreat a dozen steps, their faces still pale, and their hands trembling while holding the weapons .

This time, all the onlookers fell silent!
What a mighty teacher!

The official families who lived next to the gate of the mansion originally wanted to watch the excitement.But now, he has a different idea.Then Dong Xiping is not an incompetent person, just by looking at his followers, one can know how powerful this person is.

There are also people who want to add insult to injury, but now they have also shut their mouths.

Xi Xi called out sadly: "Dong Xiping, you dare to resist the edict, can't you rebel?"

"Trolls, retreat!"

At this moment, Dong Bi put on a green shirt and walked out of the mansion.

Sha Moke and Dian Wei followed behind him, Dong Lu held his hand and walked out together.

"What are you going to do? Don't put away your weapons for me yet."

Dong Bi took a deep breath, "Since ancient times, the emperor wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die. I, the Dong family, serve the country loyally, how can I do such a disobedient thing? Return to the house immediately, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law, and it will not matter if it is killed."

The trolls put away their horses in unison, and retreated step by step to the gate of the mansion.

From the beginning to the end, the formation was not chaotic, but it showed an invisible oppressive force.

The three of Cheng Li hurried forward: "Master, these people are clearly trying to frame you. If you go to Dali, I'm afraid..."

"Shut up!"

Dong Bi's face was gloomy, Cheng Li and the others immediately fell silent.

Seeing the troll retreat into the gate of the mansion, Dong Bi let out a sigh of relief.

They patted the shoulders of the three of them, "Take care of my home. When I'm not around, you can ask the uncle, the third master, and the wife for advice if you have anything. Tang Zhou, Ma Song..."

"Here!"

"Go back to Lintao immediately and tell father what happened here."

This sentence is extremely shocking.

The Xie brothers suddenly remembered that far away in Xiliang, this Dong Xiping's father was still fighting fiercely with the rebels with an army of 10,000+.

"Third brother, remember not to make trouble... Big brother, you are older, watch him more."

"Second brother..."

Dian Wei grabbed Dong Pi's arm, "Let's not stay here in Luoyang, let's go back to Liangzhou, killing thieves is better than being angry here."

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. I am an official of the imperial court. How can I just leave."

After Dong Bi finished speaking, he turned around and hugged Dong Lu, and whispered in her ear: "Lu'er, go to Mr. Bo Jie immediately."

"Master..."

Dong Bi went down the steps without looking back, and walked up to Xi Ji.

He glanced at Xie Yuan, and suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wenxiong, I didn't expect... you and I used to drink together earlier, but now it has become like this."

Xie Yuan's face was livid, "Dong Xiping, I only ask you, but you killed my father-in-law?"

Dong Bi was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Brother Wenxiong, rumors are spreading everywhere, if I explain, will you believe it? If you don't believe it, what's the use of my explanation? In short, I only have four words on this matter: With a clear conscience.

Indeed, Dong Bi has a clear conscience.

If Huangfusong hadn't taken the initiative to attack him that day, how could he have clashed with the other party, and how could Chen Dao have shot and killed Huangfusong?

These words are very ingenious.

I don't bother to defend this matter, justice is at ease, and I have a clear conscience.

Inadvertently, Dong Bi has already shifted the focus.

Xie Yuan couldn't help but stared blankly at Dong Pi, unable to say a word for a while.

"My lord, Dong Bi is here, let's go!"

Xi Xi had lost a lot of face just now, but now seeing Dong Pi being captured without a fight, his heart burst into ecstasy.

"Come on, take this villain down!"

The gentleman like a wolf like a tiger stepped forward and was about to tie him up.This way, it annoyed Sha Moke who was trying to suppress his anger.

"Zhuzi dares to bully my second brother..."

He jumped down from the steps with a brisk step, reached Dong Bi's side, and punched the man until he vomited blood and fell to the ground.Go up and grab Chi Chi off the horse.Sha Moke opened his eyes wide and roared angrily: "Bully my second brother, I will tear you apart!"

"Third brother, stop!"

Dong Bi went over and hugged Sha Moke, and dragged him back.

But Chi Chi was already frightened by Shamoke's ferocious behavior.Even Xie Yuan was somewhat disdainful of him.

If people don't embarrass you, what the hell are you showing off?
"Third brother, if you continue to mess around, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a brother!"

"But second brother, they..."

Sha Moke also had a straightforward temper, and when Dong Bi threatened him, he immediately stopped struggling, but he was very wronged in his heart.

Dian Wei also came up here and grabbed Sha Moke.

"Second brother, I think these guys are uneasy and kind, you..."

Dong Bi took a deep breath, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. The current emperor is a wise king, so he will naturally give me justice."

After finishing speaking, he let go of Sha Moke, smiled, turned and walked towards Lord Dali.

"Lead the way ahead!"

The Xie brothers can't tell what's going on here.Judging by Dong Bi's appearance, he really has a clear conscience.

Could it be that he was really framed?

If this is the case, I am afraid that we will ruin the reputation of Zhongliang as a family.

But hearing Dong Bi's words, the two brothers couldn't help laughing.

Is this guy being arrested, or is he going to be a guest?Still "leading the way ahead"... the majestic Dali man has become a leading boy.

A true general of tigers and wolves!
"Brother, look at this..."

Xie Yuan sighed, "I also find it weird. Dong Xiping...although he is a bit reckless and sometimes straightforward, he doesn't look like a villain. And this time the rumors are weird, the father-in-law's personal appearance, Also weird."

"You mean, Dong Xiping might be framed?"

"I can't tell. Anyway, I think there may be someone secretly manipulating behind this...Brother, you and I will go to see my uncle now, explain the situation clearly, and learn more about it. We can't be the accomplices who framed Zhongliang ah."

The Xie family brothers thought of this, and immediately left with the people.

Xi Xi escorted Dong Bi to the Jianchun Gate, the Dali Prison built next to the White Horse Temple, locked Dong Bi in, and returned home in despair.

This time, it was really embarrassing...

******
In Changle Palace, the imperial city, Emperor Han was playing with his five-year-old prince Xie.

Liu Xie was born in the fourth year of Guanghe (that is, 181 AD). He is still young now. Although he is a little ignorant, he is very sensible.His mother Wang Meiren died early, so she was adopted by Empress Dong.There are many rumors about Wang Meiren's death.Among them, there is nothing more than the version of Queen He's poisonous killing.In order to protect Liu Xie, Empress Dong took him with her.

Liu Xie's elder brother, Liu Bian, was five years older than him.

Sometimes, when a person has a heart of likes and dislikes, it is difficult to change.

No matter how you look at it, you think Liu Xie is smart, and no matter how you look at it, you think Liu Bian is frivolous and cowardly.

When Emperor Han looked at Liu Xie, the unhappiness in his heart would disappear.While playing, someone from the palace came to report, and Jian Shuo asked to see him.

Jian Shuo was the little Huangmen who was favored by Emperor Han.

Although he is a eunuch, he is quite masculine.He is eight feet tall, with broad arms and a round waist. He is also born with supernatural power and extraordinary bravery.

Emperor Han stretched his waist, hugged Liu Xie, and sat down on the dragon chair.

This is also a gift from Dong Bi through Cai Yong, and it stretches a lot while sitting.

Emperor Han had never met Dong Bi, but he had heard a lot of this name.It seems that recently, there are more and more things happening around Dong Pi.

Very curious, always want to find time to meet, but can't find time.

At noon, after listening to Zhang Jun talking about Dong Pi's killing of Huangfusong, Emperor Han ordered to arrest him in a rage.

But when I went back to the palace and thought about it, no matter how evil and reckless Dong Pi was, there were all kinds of theories, but no one had ever heard that he had acted rebelliously.

Is it a bit sloppy?

So he photographed Jian Shuo and went to inquire about the news.

Jian Shuo entered the room, greeted Liu Hong first, and then told how Xi Xi had arrested Dong Bi.

After hearing this, Emperor Han couldn't help laughing.

"Then Dong Xiping really said that?"

"If the servant has a lie, please ask the emperor to cut off the head of the servant."

Emperor Han also knew that Jian Shuo rarely dealt with people outside and was loyal to himself.

"Serve the country faithfully... This little guy can talk!" Liu Hong said with a smile: "Everyone in the world says I'm stupid, but that little guy can speak fair words. Why don't I want to do something, but this powerful minister is in power. What can I do... However, since he wants me to give him justice, I have to stand up and give him justice. Well, tomorrow Wu Qiong will be interrogated in Dali, Jian Shuo, you will work hard again and go for me Take a look, don't let this little guy be wronged."

"The slaves obey!"

When Jian Shuo left, Emperor Han let out a long sigh.

"Queen, what do you think I should do?"

Empress Dong was listening all the time, and suddenly smiled, "Why is your majesty so troubled? What you need is someone who is loyal to you, and whoever is loyal can choose whoever is loyal...The Dong family is a martial artist, and he is also the future son-in-law of Cai Weng. You If you can't trust Dong Xiping, can't you also trust Cai Weng?"

"Why don't I know... It's just that sometimes, it's hard for me to choose."

After the Emperor Han finished speaking, he looked at his son and said with a smile: "One hand is a loyal minister who opened up the territory for me; the other hand is an important minister who can't leave me...My son, how do you choose?"

Liu Xie didn't know if he understood. Seeing that Emperor Han stretched out his two hands, he also stretched out his hands with a smile and put them in the hands of Emperor Han.

"Hehe, my son is smart. He is only five years old, but he already understands the key to the emperor's art... balance, but what do I want to balance?"

------------

Today's state is not very good, I don't know if I can still write it.

Since the upload, I have never missed a day of class, and I will hand in last night on time every day...

It's just that the plot has come to the present, and there have been some small stagnation.I need to think about it carefully and sort out the plot behind it clearly.

If I can adjust it, I will update another chapter today, if...

So please don't wait.If I change it, it will probably be in the middle of the night, so don't miss everyone's rest.

(End of this chapter)
