"Check!"

"Gotta find out!!"

Liu Ying was furious, this time, he was really angry.

"Donkey Tingwei" Xuanyi knelt in front of the Son of Heaven, bowing his head, but his heart was extremely entangled.

"Your Majesty, apart from his family, no one else criticizes... I thought..."

"I said, check! I only met Shaofu Tongcheng not long ago, and he didn't look like he was sick, how could he suddenly die in one day? If that's the case, how can his family come to me to complain?! ”

"The dignified minister of a thousand stones, he died so unclear? Is this Chang'an or a den of thieves?! ”

Liu Ying roared angrily, the honest man was angry, it was still more terrifying, and the reason why Liu Ying was so angry was only because Zhang Ren, the copper of Shaofu, died violently last night, if it was just like that, Liu Ying was at most just emotional, but not long ago, Zhang Ren's wife cried before coming to the palace and wanted to meet the emperor.

If it was an emperor like Liu Bang, they probably wouldn't be able to see it, but when Liu Ying heard about it, he hurriedly sent someone to take them in and inquire about the situation.

His family told Liu Ying that Zhang Ren had always been healthy and could pull a strong bow, and he came home drunk last night and slept for a while.

They concluded that someone had plotted to kill Zhang Ren, but the officials who came did not listen to them, and only said that they had died violently and that they would be buried.

When Liu Ying heard this, she was naturally furious and sent someone to call Xuanyi.

Xuanyi raised his head, looked at Liu Ying, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really want the minister to investigate this matter thoroughly?" ”

Liu Ying was even more angry, "I told you for half an hour, and you didn't listen to it at all?" ”

Xuanyi shook his head and asked resolutely again: "Your Majesty, do you really want the ministers to investigate this matter thoroughly?" ”

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Investigate thoroughly!" However, after finding out, come and tell me directly that you are not allowed to tell anyone else... I'll arrest people when I've made up my mind. ”

Xuanyi got up, "The minister understands, the minister will investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”

Leaving the palace, Xuanyi's face was a little complicated, he did not go to the Tingwei Mansion, but returned home first.

When he got home, he called his wife over, and they sat facing each other.

Seeing the beloved's solemn expression, his wife was also a little uneasy, but she didn't speak.

"If I suddenly fall ill and die, you will take care of the child, don't cry to anyone, just bury me."

Xuanyi's words, his wife turned pale with fright, and she asked tremblingly, "What happened?" ”

"It's nothing, you have to remember, if I'm gone, take good care of the children... I borrowed a bow from Xiao Xiang before,

The last time the Hou family of Wuyang welcomed guests, they borrowed three sheep from me..."

Xuanyi said calmly, his wife silently shed tears, listening carefully, "Okay, I know, please go and do something,

I am responsible for everything in the family. ”

Xuanyi got up and left home without looking back, leaving only his good wife who cried silently.

When Xuanyi came to the Tingwei Mansion, the officials were already waiting, Xuanyi sat on the top seat, looked at everyone, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty wants us to thoroughly investigate the death of Zhang Ren in Shaofu, Zhang Jun, please take someone to Zhang Ren's mansion, investigate his letters, check who he has been dealing with recently, and send someone to find out where he went last night, where he drank, and which road he came back." ”

"Yui!"

"Liu Jun, please take someone to Chen Hou's mansion... Search for whom Chen Hou has been in contact with recently..."

When the subordinate official surnamed Liu heard this, his face turned pale, and his hands trembled slightly, but he still replied: "Only! ”

"Wangjun, please go to the mansion of the Marquis of Jiancheng. Thoroughly investigate his recent contacts. ”

"Yui!"

Everyone left one by one, and in the end, there were only seven or eight henchmen left around Xuanyi, and these people were all looking at Xuanyi in fear, what kind of case is it, so many people need to be involved, Chen Ping, Lu Shizhi, Fan Xu, even Cao Xiang has to investigate these people, can we really survive?

Xuanyi slowly got up and said, "The rest of the people, bring weapons... Follow me outside the palace. ”

These subordinate officials were very afraid, but Xuanyi took the lead, they did not hesitate, they followed behind Xuanyi, came to the outside of the palace, Xuanyi stopped here, as if waiting for something, everyone did not dare to chat, they didn't know what Xuanyi brought them here for, their faces were dazed and afraid.

At this moment, a car slowly drove from not far away, a person was driving, and three people were walking around the car, and there was a child sitting in the car, not very old, but his expression was extremely arrogant, and he was talking loudly in the carriage.

"Follow me!"

Xuanyi said a word, and rushed forward, and everyone followed behind him, and for a while, they surrounded the carriage, and at that moment, the four people around the carriage all drew their swords, and the children in the carriage rolled up their sleeves, and there was no fear on their faces, but they were ecstatic and eager to try.

"Tang Wang!"

Xuanyi shouted loudly, and at that moment, the hearts of the subordinate officials trembled, and they almost couldn't hold the sword in their hands. The notoriety of the Tang King, in Chang'an, no one knows, no one knows, this king is domineering by nature, deeply favored by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, lawless, he once openly wrote a letter to Mao Dun, threatening to enter Mao Dun, and also set fire to the Hou Mansion, I heard that he had killed several ministers who opposed him... The eyes of the subordinate officials were full of despair.

"Huh? It's Captain Xuanting... The widow thought he was an assassin. ”

Liu Chang was very disappointed.

Xuanyi grimaced and said, "Please follow me to Tingwei!" ”

"Bold! Are you here to get the Tang King?! ”

Zhang Budo roared, holding a sword and about to step forward to cut people, Luan Bu hurriedly got out of the car and blocked in front of him, Luan Bu looked serious,

He asked, "How dare Tingwei be rude to the king?" ”

"It's not an arrest, it's just an inquiry."

"Oh? Inquire? By whose order? ”

Zhao Ping asked with a smile, unlike the anger of the other Sheren, he was always calm, and Xuanyi replied: "It is Your Majesty's dictation to investigate the matter thoroughly." ”

"Oracle? There is no edict? ”

Zhao Ping asked with a smile: "Why don't you go to Your Majesty first, and then interrogate King Tang when you have an edict?" ”

Ji Bu nodded and said coldly, "That's how it should be. Tingwei only relied on his verbal instructions to bring the princes and kings back to Tingwei, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate... If there is no edict from His Majesty, there is also an edict from the Queen Mother. ”

The four great sherens exerted pressure at the same time, Xuanyi was still very calm, he raised his head, looked at Liu Chang, and asked, "Could it be that King Tang is so afraid of my Tingwei Mansion?" Don't even dare to go? ”

Liu Chang grinned, "Duke Xuan, the widow has no intention of urinating yet, and when the desire to urinate comes, the widow will go to your Tingwei Mansion...

As for now... Make way for the widows... Otherwise, Luan Bu! Hack him! ”

Liu Chang gave the order violently, Luan Bu glanced at Liu Chang's gesture, and the long sword in his hand fell directly on Xuanyi's neck, just a little short, Xuanyi was going to die here!

Xuanyi raised his head, not afraid at all, "The king... Zhang Ren was killed by you. ”

"You fart! Naigong kills people, and still needs to cover up? If Naigong wants to kill him, he will only kill him! Way! ”

"The king really knows about him."

"Oh, what do you know? If you dare to say more, I will let my middle father Qu Yihou kill you overnight! ”

Liu Chang said proudly, waved his little hand, and left here directly.

Xuanyi saw King Tang leave, but the surrounding subordinate officials were frightened, "Xuangong. How can you doubt King Tang? The Queen Mother..."

Xuanyi said seriously: "The day before yesterday, the ministers were discussing in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhang Ren said something extremely unfavorable to King Tang... At that time, Cao Xiang was furious and told him to stop talking and did not let him continue. Last night, Zhang Ren died violently... In any case, his death must have something to do with King Tang. ”

"Is it the hand of King Tang?"

"No... King Tang is arrogant, if he really did it... He will definitely abuse Zhang Ren first, and he won't let him die so easily...

When he asked just now, Tang Wang's face was full of joy, if he really did it, he would either force his words, or he would directly drive away... Won't talk to us so much. ”

Xuanyi analyzed carefully.

"That's..."

Xuanyi's eyes narrowed, and a name lingered in his mind.

Chen Ping lowered his head, looked at Xuanyi in front of him, and asked softly, "Tingwei. After hearing that Zhang Ren was dead, his wife went directly to the Son of Heaven to cry out for injustice... If you die, will your wife do the same? ”

Xuanyi shook his head and replied seriously: "She won't, I have already instructed her, she will bury me alive." ”

Chen Ping gritted his teeth, "Duke Xuan was the first to check on me... Why don't you just take me to Tingwei and ask me for my guilt? ”

"The first one I checked was Tang Wang, not Chen Hou."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that Zhang Budo, the widow of the Tang King, has appeared around Zhang Ren's mansion many times."

"This is the truth, many people have seen Zhang Budo appear around Zhang Ren's mansion, and twice he went in disguise, and I also sent someone to inquire, Zhang Budo himself said that he went to kill Zhang Ren, but he didn't catch him."

Xuanyi said, suddenly raised his head and asked, "But... How could Chen Hou know about this? ”

"Why does Xuan Gong want to investigate this matter?"

"Decree of the Son of Heaven!"

Then Xuan Gong went back and secretly told His Majesty, saying that the person was killed by the King of Tang. Your Majesty will definitely not blame King Tang, and you will not make a statement, you will not investigate thoroughly, and you can protect your clan. Chen Ping took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"I'm not like Chen Hou, I have always completed my mission seriously, and I don't dare to fool the Son of Heaven, this is something that the Son of Heaven ordered me to investigate, I will definitely investigate thoroughly, even if I die, I will not flinch."

"Donkey Tingwei, Donkey Tingwei!"

Chen Ping said, and then looked at Xuanyi with some sympathy.

"Chen Hou hasn't told me yet how he found out about Zhang Budo going to find Zhang Ren."

"Okay, let me tell you... This matter.", Chen Ping lowered his voice and stared at Xuanyi fiercely, "You have to ask the Marquis of Cheng." ”

Xuanyi nodded, turned around and left here.

Chen Ping here, they failed to find any incriminating evidence, Chen Ping has been in the mansion for the past few days, he has not gone out, and he has not met anyone, but he can tell Zhang Budo about it, which means that he must know about it, or it is his hand that presses on Zhang Budo's body because no one dares to arrest King Tang.

Xuanyi lowered his head, and kept connecting all the clues in his mind.

Zhang Ren said something unfavorable to the Tang King in the mansion, the Tang King knew about it, the Tang King knew about his death, the Tang King had sent Zhang Budo to kill Zhang Ren, Chen Ping did not meet anyone, all day in the mansion, but knew that Zhang Budo was preparing to assassinate Zhang Ren.

Here in Zhang Ren, he drank with two colleagues from Shaofu last night, these two rarely see Zhang Ren on weekdays, and there is a third person who drinks at the scene, this third person is Lu Chan.... The two colleagues said that it was Lu Chan who organized the wine party and asked them to invite Zhang Ren, and at the banquet, they had seen the two whispering, but Lu Chan seemed to be very angry at the time.

Now Chen Ping asked himself to find Lu Shizhi again.

Xuanyi kept thinking about it, and when he came back to his senses, Lu Shizhi stared at him with a dark face and displeasure.

"Duke Xuan took all my subordinates away, did he want me to go to the Queen Mother and borrow a few close servants to do my housework?"

"The Marquis of Jiancheng doesn't have to press me with the Queen Mother, I will follow the order of the Son of Heaven, even if the Queen Mother asks for guilt, I will not stop."

Lu Shizhi sneered, "Zhang Ren is looking for death by himself, and Xuan Gong also wants to accompany the funeral?" ”

"So... You killed people? ”

"Fart!"

Lu Shizhi was furious, and he scolded: "I don't even know about this matter, why did you come to me?" I have been staying at home for the past few days, and everyone can testify for me! ”

"Then have you ever seen Lu Chan?"

"I've seen it! How is it! Is it still a sin to see my Son of Judah?! ”

Unlike Chen Ping, Lu Shizhi didn't admit that he knew about it at all, and later, he got angry again, no matter what Xuanyi asked, he didn't answer, but just coldly asked Xuanyi to take him back to the prison for interrogation.

Xuanyi couldn't ask anything from Lu Shizhi, so he wanted to ask Lu Shan.

It's just that Lu Chan is not in his mansion, at this moment, he is in the mansion of Marquis Wuyang.

Fan Xu is also the object of Xuanyi's investigation.

And this is also what Xuanyi is most worried about, things are gradually becoming clearer to him, and the biggest suspect at present is naturally Lu Tai... Now, he is in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion again, behind all the people, there is a person who doesn't even dare to check Xuanyi, not only Xuanyi doesn't dare, but I'm afraid that even the Son of Heaven doesn't dare.

But Xuanyi is this character, he is also afraid of death, but he regards the orders of the Son of Heaven as more important than life... That's why Liu Bang loves him so much.

Xuanyi still came to Fan Xu's mansion.

Fan Xu is not like a person like Chen Ping and Lu Shizhi, he stood up, like a bear, looked down at Xuanyi, his hands clicked, as if he was going to kill Xuanyi in the next moment, Xuanyi raised his head, and Lu Xuan stood beside Fan Xu in horror.

Before Xuanyi could speak, Lu Chan couldn't wait to shout: "I didn't poison Zhang Ren!" We all drink the same wine! We're all fine, just he's dead, it's none of my business! ”

"I want to know, why did you go to see King Zhang, you don't know him at all."

"It's none of your business!"

Fan Hao directly blocked in front of Lu Chan, and looked at Xuanyi fiercely, "If you come to arrest me, take out the edict of the Son of Heaven, if you don't dare to arrest me, get out of here, otherwise..."

"Wuyang Hou... That day, Zhang Ren threatened to be unfavorable to the Tang King, and I remember that you stared at him for a long time. ”

"Who did you tell about this?"

Fan Xu's face changed greatly, he didn't say anything, he pushed Xuanyi away, and scolded: "No one told me!" Get lost! Get the hell out of here! ”

Xuanyi brought a lot of subordinate officials, but unfortunately, in front of Fan Xu, these people couldn't play any role, Fan Xu grabbed them, as if carrying little chickens, and threw them out of the gate of the mansion one by one, making these people cry out in pain, Fan Xu was quite polite to Xuanyi, and he was driven out, if it weren't for the past situation, I was afraid that Xuanyi would be thrown out by him.

By this time, Xuanyi had cleared his mind.

First of all, why did Tang Wang know about this? Fan Xu's look just now proved that he did tell a terrible person about this, and even he didn't dare to say who he told him, he didn't tell King Tang, he told the Queen Mother.

Why did Chen Ping know about Zhang Budo, because someone gave Chen Ping an order to Chen Ping to keep an eye on King Zhang and let him die violently.

Why did Chen Ping tell himself about the Tang King's sending of Zhang Budo, because Chen Ping wanted to order his people to conceal it, and would rather push the Tang King out than say it clearly, so he asked himself to find Jianhou, who does Jianhou represent?

This is the reason why Lu Chan invited Zhang Ren to a banquet, and then hid in the mansion of Marquis Wuyang, and Marquis Wuyang did not let Lu Chan say that he was under someone's orders.

Last night, the wine vessel that Lu Chan and they drank was gone, and they were a guest at a house in Shaofu, according to the man, after getting drunk that night, he lost a lot of things in his house, including the wine vessel, and he couldn't find it.

Zhang Ren was poisoned, he was poisoned by the Queen Mother, Chen Ping planned, Lu Chan did it, and then put this matter on the body of King Tang...

Xuanyi continued to search, and several important pieces of evidence emerged.

First of all, it is the Tang King, the Tang King has been in the Hou Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion these days, he has not gone to other places, nor has he met anyone, his four people, only Zhang Budo often goes to Zhang Ren, and the other three are always with the Tang King, and they do not go out at all.

So, the Tang King either learned about this in the Jianhou Mansion or... It's in the Jiaofang Palace.

In addition, it is Tingwei's examination of Zhang Ren's body.... He was poisoned!

An official of Tingwei found out that Lu Chan had gone out of the Jianhou Mansion before going to the banquet.

All the clues point to one person.

Xuanyi knelt in front of the Son of Heaven with a resolute expression.

Liu Ying looked at him, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Did you find out?" ”

"The minister has found out."

"How did he die?"

"Poison."

"Who is it?"

Xuanyi's lips trembled slightly, he knew that he must have known about his search this time, and even,

She must have been aware of her own answers. Her idea was to let herself say the name of King Tang, because in this way,

The Son of Heaven will not continue to interrogate.

But... Xuanyi gritted his teeth, raised his head suddenly, and said, "It's too..."

"That's it!"

Liu Ying interrupted Xuanyi abruptly, he stood up, looked lonely, and took a deep breath, "Since Zhang Gong died of illness,

Then bury him, comfort his family, and give him money and land... Chase him again... Alas... Why is that... Alas..."

Seeing the lonely Son of Heaven in front of him, Xuanyi said: "Your Majesty doesn't know that King Zhang once separated the monarch and ministers before the ministers. If you want to be unfavorable to King Tang, he is innocent of death, please don't feel guilty Your Majesty. ”

"Huh? That's it..."

Liu Ying finally understood, he nodded, "You go back, by the way, you have merit this time, I will give you a mansion,

I'll give you twenty more armor..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It's just that the minister has no merit, how can he be rewarded! ”

"No... You have merit, listen to me. ”

…

"Mother~~"

Liu Chang smiled and jumped into the Jiaofang Palace.

Lu Hou turned his back to him, Liu Chang couldn't see her face, and Lu Hou didn't look back.

"Chen Mai told you about Zhang Ren."

"You ask Chen to buy it back and let him tell Chen Ping about your plan."

"You deliberately ate and drank in the Jiancheng Hou Mansion, and asked Zhang Budo to go to the surroundings of Zhang Ren's mansion to observe the situation."

"Lu Chan came to Jianchenghou's Mansion, he didn't see Jianchenghou, he saw you, you asked him to feast Zhang Ren, saying that you had some conflicts with Zhang Ren, and let him make peace for you."

Zhang Budo waited for Zhang Ren, who was drunk, on the way, and then poured poisoned wine and threw it in front of his mansion, pretending to be drunk.

then stole the wine vessel, so that Xuanyi thought that Lu Chan had poisoned Zhang Ren. ”

"You know that Fan Xu will tell me about this, so when Lu Chan was questioned and panicked, let Lu Lu tell him and let him hide in Fan Hui's mansion... Fan Xu knew that I would definitely do it, so he mistakenly thought that Lu Chan was instructed by me, so he took cover..."

"Huh? What is Mother talking about? ”

Liu Chang looked at Empress Lu blankly.

Empress Lu turned around abruptly and looked at Liu Chang in surprise, "It's not you!" Is it Chen Ping?? ”

"Who knows..."

"Mother! Leave him alone, I'm hungry, do I have something to eat?! ”

ps: This inspection is quite time-consuming, the first inspection is free, and if you can't find out the second time, you will be charged... Damn, don't talk about it, I'll continue to code words.
