Chapter 160: Disgusting
Liu Tong hung his head slightly.
He has always been like this in front of Emperor Yuanwu, and when he talks to Emperor Yuanwu, he has always been flat.
It is said that it is father and son, but it is actually extremely strange.
"Back to my father, the errand of my son's ministers has gone smoothly."
The answer was concise and without any fuss.
Emperor Yuanwu nodded, and he also knew that Liu Tong was such a character, asking what to say, not saying much.
He paused, and then asked, "Who did you see when you went to Yanzhou?" I look at your cantata, and I only write how to arrest the Qilu family, and some testimonies of these two families, but nothing else. ”
Liu Tong glanced at Emperor Yuanwu vaguely with his afterglow, and then said slowly: "Back to my father, my sons went to Yanzhou, and naturally met some local squires and people who were oppressed and exploited by the three major clans, and also collected enough testimony of the people. In addition, the Yuwen family, who stayed out of this matter, also went to inquire. ”
Emperor Yuanwu's gaze suddenly became a little sharp, and it was only for a moment, and then he retracted again, and asked with a smile: "Oh? What does Xiao Jiu think of the Yuwen family? ”
Liu Tong hooked his lips and smiled, and his tone was more leisurely and slow.
"Erchen thinks, no, how, what, like."
Emperor Yuanwu frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but Liu Tong continued to speak.
"Among them, a young master named Yuwen Siyuan of the Yuwen family is the most impressive for Erchen." Liu Tong said in a casual tone: "This person has a mean face and a gloomy expression, and he looks like a moody master. When he spoke to Erchen, his tone was even more yin and yang, and he seemed to be extremely disdainful of Erchen. Twenty-seven or eighteen-year-olds are so unstable. Fortunately, the Yuwen family has the eldest son and grandson, and it is not the turn of such a thing to inherit the family business. ”
The expression on Emperor Yuanwu's face suddenly became very strange, Liu Tong sighed as if he was blind and couldn't see, and said with regret: "But it can't be said like that, if the Yuwen family lets such a thing inherit the family business, it may still be a good thing for our Great Wei." The three major clans in Yanzhou are now the only Yuwen clan left, and Yuwen Siyuan is in charge of the family, and this Yuwen clan is afraid that it will come to an end. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Tong seemed to have just noticed Emperor Yuanwu, and asked with a look of inquiry: "Father thinks what his son said is right?" ”
Emperor Yuanwu clenched his fists and coughed pretending to be in his mouth, and said, "How about the Yuwen family, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Emperor Yuanwu sank his eyes: "You went to Yanzhou, what do you think of Yanzhou?" ”
Liu Tong said: "The local people are tall and big, but their temperament is also simple and enthusiastic. Although the local people are fierce, I think it is also because of the proximity. Erchen thinks that Yanzhou is rich and prolific, and if it can be managed well, it will be a granary of a state for our Great Wei. ”
Emperor Yuanwu pondered when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
Liu Tong just stood still and didn't speak.
After a long time, Emperor Yuanwu said: "That being the case, then Yanzhou is here and there, and it is indeed time to work hard." ”
Liu Tong lowered his head and didn't say anything, the implication of this move is that if he can't work hard, it has nothing to do with him, can he talk to him?
Emperor Yuanwu glanced at Liu Tong and sighed in his heart.
In his mind, he remembered Liu Tong's evaluation of Yuwen Siyuan's "such a thing", and Emperor Yuan Wu felt uncomfortable again.
"Alright, you've done a good job on this errand, and I'll reward you."
Liu Tong also bowed his hand and said: "Thank you for the reward from my father." ”
These words choked Emperor Yuanwu again.
If you are another prince, which one wouldn't say a sentence like "sharing worries for your father and emperor is within the son's business"? As for Liu Tong, he said that he would give him a reward, and he immediately accepted it so stupidly.
Emperor Yuanwu lost his temper with Liu Tong at this time, and waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”
Liu Tong bowed his waist: "The son of the minister retreats." ”
Out of the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Tong dusted off the corners of his robe, looked back at the Qinzheng Palace, and happened to see a small bird parked above the eaves of the palace.
He stared at it for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.
Two days later, the Qi and Lu families were convicted and sentenced.
A total of 41 people from the two families were sentenced to beheading, and more than 300 remaining, some of whom were exiled to the border gates, some were punished with labor in various places, some were confiscated from pariahs, and some were sentenced to prison terms ranging from a few years to several decades.
There are not many types of punishment under the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, and torture is basically non-existent. Since Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne, there has never been such a large-scale investigation and punishment.
As soon as the notice in Beijing was posted, it immediately aroused the onlookers of the people, and the matter would always be mentioned in the chat.
The entrance of the vegetable market on West Street has also become a place that the people agreed to go to after the autumn.
After all, no one in Dawei has been beheaded for a long time.
Liu Tong handed over the errand, and disgusted him in front of Emperor Yuanwu, only to feel a lot more comfortable. When I heard the news that the Qilu family had been convicted and sentenced, I was even more comfortable.
So early this morning, he pulled Chang Runzhi up early and wanted to take her to the wonton stall on West Street to eat wontons.
Chang Runzhi couldn't resist him, and said with a smile: "Why is it suddenly like a child?" Didn't you eat it just two days ago? ”
"It's because I've eaten it that I want that taste." Liu Tong said: "The taste is very delicious, you must like it too." It must be freshly cooked and freshly cooked, so it tastes the best...... Hurry up, it's too late, there are so many people over there, and there is no place to sit and eat. ”
Chang Runzhi was helpless, so he could only get up quickly to get dressed and wash.
As soon as he got it, he let Liu Tong go out of the house without hesitation.
Chang Runzhi felt that Liu Tong was a little too excited: "I'm really hungry, the house can make you something to eat immediately, look at you like this...... Oops, you're drooling! ”
Liu Tong hurriedly reached out to wipe his mouth, but he didn't feel any saliva at all, and immediately reacted that Chang Runzhi was making fun of him.
"Okay, Runzhi, you actually tricked me!"
Liu Tong grabbed her waist and tickled her, and Chang Runzhi hurriedly begged for mercy.
The two of them went out of the prince's mansion in a fight, Liu Tong was familiar with the road, and dragged Chang Runzhi with a clear goal.
Along the way, Chang Runzhi felt more and more real.
Whether before or after marriage, her daily life is orderly, well-behaved, and quite regular.
But after a long time, I always feel a little boring and boring.
But today she saw a different life in the market.
It's still early, but West Street has already begun to be lively.
There were many people who set up stalls, and some peasants still had dew and mud on their trousers and shoes, and the women did not show weakness, with scarves tied around their heads and belts around their waists, and they shouted vigorously.
Green vegetables, fresh fruit, gurgling chickens and ducks, and tender pork on the cutting board......
There were well-dressed people already walking back and forth among them, and Chang Runzhi knew that it must be the stewards of each family who were responsible for purchasing.
"It's so lively here......"
Chang Runzhi felt as if he had discovered a new continent: "...... It's just that the taste is a little bad. ”
"West Street Vegetable Market, isn't that what it looks like."
Liu Tong smiled and said, "Let's eat the wontons first, and when you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you to shop." (To be continued.) )
