1.14 Dead but not stiff

"Avenge the Lord." Yuan Shao replied.

"Who is its owner?" Liu Bei asked.

"The former Vice-Marquis of the Turtle Kingdom is also." Yuan Shao blurted out.

"I see." Liu Bei nodded lightly: "Hu Yu is also a remnant of the Taiping Dao." ”

"It's the Taiping Dao Demon Thief." Yuan Shao sighed: "Henan Yin and Luoyang Ling interrogated overnight, and ironclad evidence has been obtained. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the three thieves of Julu have been awarded the head. The Yellow Turban Thieves were defeated. Since the beginning of the year, yellow turbans have been destroyed one after another. Taiping Road is even more declining, no longer before. For the Yan sect, the remaining thieves in Luoyang want to make a dying fight. Assassinate His Majesty in order to cause chaos in the world. It is good to take advantage of the situation and set off a violent rebellion. ”

It seems reasonable, and there are few flaws. After pondering for a moment, Liu Beiyan said: "Could it be that the weapons, atlases and even hundreds of people who died after drinking from the cellar of the wine shop are all the bitter tricks of the Yellow Turban thieves. ”

"Exactly." Rao is Yuan Shao couldn't help but be moved: "Fake death and get out." We all thought that the remaining thieves of the Luoyang Yellow Turban were wiped out by Xuande. So let your guard down. And Taiping Dao is mostly Han people, and there are few Hu people. In addition, Hu Yu is half crippled and is obsessed with passers-by. It was not eye-catching, so he successfully escaped. ”

"I got married in August, and the Queen Mother was born in October. The difference is February. In other words, the Taiping Demon Thief already knew: Empress Dowager Dou wanted to hire Hu Ku to bake Hu Biscuits for His Majesty on the day of the birthday banquet. ”

"Yes, yes." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Your Majesty has ordered Bi Lan to order Bi Lan and Song Dian to work together to repair Yong'an Palace half a year ago. Be sure to finish it before Taishou's birthday. The Orthodox Department also prepared a birthday banquet in advance. Therefore, it was a peaceful demon and found out the details. ”

"Nothing to do with Empress Dowager Dou?" Liu Bei asked suddenly.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "What do you have to do with the Queen Mother?" ”

"That's good." Liu Bei's eyes were like torches: "Originally, he was the captain of the school, and he should strictly investigate the remaining thieves of the Taiping, and don't let the ashes resurge." ”

"What Xuande said is extremely true." After this incident, how could Yuan Shao wake up without being alert. If Your Majesty makes another mistake, the lieutenant of Si Li will be blamed.

"Where's Hu?" Liu Bei asked again.

"Detained in Luoyang Prison."

"Can you show me?" There are some details that Liu Bei needs to ask to understand.

"Why not." Yuan Shao came here to report the case, but it was actually a revenge for the two families. Liu Bei was in danger of destroying He entered the full door. Yuan Shao learned about it and hurriedly went to visit. I saw corpses all over the house, and blood flowed like a river. Counting down, there are no less than thousands. However, they are all the dead soldiers of the He Mansion, and the embroidered clothes of the shogunate have not been damaged in the slightest. And it's better to fight more with less.

It's staggering. Think about the 10,000 shogunate spirits in the Hanen Garden.

The general has 10,000 soldiers in his hands, how to fight the enemy.

Yuan Shao sweated like raindrops for a while.

With this in mind, when the real culprit was found, he hurried to make peace for the two families.

Liu Beiyan didn't know.

Compared with the general He Jin, Liu Bei was more worried about the resurgence of the Yellow Turban thieves. The so-called "hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff". First, there were Luo Xi and Lu Xuan, and the female assassins of the Heavenly Master went against the Great Earthquake Pass. Later, there were remnants of Luoyang, and they gave up their lives.

Come on now. In the city of Guangzong, the three thieves were given the head. Is it too easy to get?

The Yellow Turban traitor, who had previously spread to eight of the thirteen states, had no other momentum. Therefore, seize the territory and compete for the world. Now it is weak and unable to wage a big war. So start from the top of the empire. Capture the thief and capture the king, and behead the operation. Take the opportunity to assassinate His Majesty.

That makes sense. However, Liu Bei faintly felt that things were not simple: under this self-defeating assassination conspiracy, there was another mystery hidden.

In any case, Liu Bei also needs to completely expose the conspiracy. Revealed to the world.

"Shizu Province merged with the official temple, and there were two prisons, and there was no waste, because the world was at the beginning of peace, and it was also the effect of political clarity."

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu had a large number of cut-off institutions, and the Jingshi Prison was also mostly abolished. In the former Han Dynasty, there were more than 20 Chang'an prisons, and at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang, Kyoto, only Tingwei Prison and Luoyang Prison were retained.

Later, in the north and south palaces, there were also Huangmen North Temple Prison and Violent Room Prison.

Luoyang Prison, in the Luoyang County Court. It is also an edict.

In the Han system, the county guard office is called "house". The county order and the prefect's office are called "courts". And "department" and "temple" are used together. Therefore, it can also be called "temple", such as county temple, official temple, etc., and so on.

Seeing Yuan Shao away, Liu Bei drove to Luoyang County.

Dongguo, Suiminli.

The new Luoyang commander Sima Fang came out accordingly.

"The lower officials pay a visit to the king." Sima Fang stepped down and saluted.

"Lonely uninvited. If there is any disturbance, I hope that Mingting will bear with me. "Corporal Liu Bei Lixian.

"The lower officials don't dare." Sima Fang bowed again: "Your Majesty, please." ”

"Please."

The host and guest are seated. Liu Bei Daoming came to his intentions, and Sima Fang immediately agreed: "The lower officials dare to disobey their orders." ”

personally led Liu Bei to prison and interrogated repeat offenders.

Hu Ku has deep eyes and thick beards, and his appearance is not good. Both legs were broken at the knees, which should be old injuries.

After being poisoned, he did not have time to escape. Although lurking in the city, it was also touched by the vines, and the stolen goods were obtained.

Just take a look. Liu Bei knew that he had a will to die. It is useless to say more.

However, Liu Bei was still not ready to give up: "When will you come to Beijing?" ”

"During the reign of the first emperor Yanxi. It has been more than 20 years. Hu Yu said.

Seeing that his Chinese language is pure, he is not slow or slow. Liu Bei sighed slightly in his heart: "Why are you a thief?" ”

"Be a thief from the Lord." Hu Wei replied again.

"Your lord is the Marquis of Guizi."

"Exactly."

"The Auxiliary Marquis died because of me. Why kill Your Majesty. Liu Bei asked what he wanted.

Hu Ku said: "My lord died in state affairs." Just as Liu Bei killed the Auxiliary Marquis, it was also out of justice, not personal vendetta. In other words, Hu Xu's poisoning of His Majesty was also due to the great cause of the Yellow Turban. If you only take revenge, why do you need to do this bitter trick, open swords and hidden arrows, and assassinate the king of thistle. More than 100 Luoyang wants to be evil, so why should they drink and die. Just to cover Hu Xu's assassination.

The so-called "the monarch and the country live and die together, and the ministers are loyal to the state affairs".

"What a 'death in state affairs'." Liu Bei sighed: "Although Lone killed the Auxiliary Marquis, he still remembers it." ”

Hu Xu, who had been expressionless, was unexpectedly moved when he heard it. Then he got up and bowed: "That's all I have to say." ”

Seeing Liu Bei, he was speechless to ask. Luoyang Ling, who accompanied the side again, raised his voice and said: "Come on, take it down." ”

"Yes." Then a jailer stepped forward and dragged Hu Yu away.

"There is no need to impose heavy punishments, and let Your Majesty do the same." Liu Bei advised: "Each is his master, and there is no personal enmity." That's all. ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Sima Fang bowed solemnly. The king of this tle is a hero in the world, dedicated to the public, and above board. If you were someone else, you wouldn't be able to clear the line with the Assassins. and will not speak for him?

Out of prison, Liu Bei went straight home. Even passing by in front of the teacher's mansion, he didn't stop. It's just because the stakes are high. Afraid of prolonging the teacher.

Yongle Palace.

Listen to Yin Hemiao in Henan and solve the case.

Empress Dowager Dong was slightly distracted. It wasn't His Majesty's doing.

Wang Meiren's fruit knowledge is general. Knowing that the harem is incompatible, the fragrance will disappear, and no one will be left behind. With his own body, the whole day is decent. Up and down, everything. It's a pity that such a character is a shame. If he can be the queen mother one day, he may be far stronger than the queen.

There were many thoughts for a while.

After He Miao retired, Empress Dowager Dong said from behind the curtain: "Someone is coming." ”

"Yes."

"Move to the West Mansion."

"Whoa."
