Chapter 67: The Old Case
The crossbow arrow under the threat penetrated deep into the body, although Pei Guo was getting better, this external injury wanted to heal, but it really needed to be recuperated for a long time. Lying like this, I didn't realize that more than a month had passed, and suddenly it was early June.
In the past May, the weather was already hot, but the government and the opposition were very calm. The two new chief officials of the Imperial History Observatory, Lieutenant Sun Teng of the Imperial History and Liu Gui, the scrivener of the Imperial History, were about to take office as new officials, and their business was not sophisticated, or they may have seen the lessons of Cui Xian's previous experience, so they did not light the three fires. So between the imperial party and the Erzhu family, it was rare to stop for a while.
However, the news of the victory in Guanzhong came, and Luoyang City was boiling--- how many years have it been, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, and finally returned to Wanghua.
Soon, the thief chieftain Wan Qiu Chounu and Xiao Baoyin drove into Luo, and the emperor Yuanzi ordered the two to be tied up on the street outside the gate for the people and children to gather and watch for three days.
The whole Luoyang City was a sensation, and the officials and people rushed to watch, rotten vegetable leaves, stinky chickens, and even small stones, overwhelming, smashed on the faces of the two heads, and the pain was unspeakable.
Three days later, Wan Qian was the head of the street owl. After all, Xiao Baoyin was a high-ranking family in the world, so there were many old ones, and his wife was the princess of Nanyang of Wei State, and the prince left him decent, so he died in the original house of Xiao Baoyin of the Camel and Cattle Department.
Princess Nanyang is known as a virtuous person, and she has repeatedly dissuaded Xiao Baoyin from being a thief, but unfortunately she can't. She and Xiao Baoyin have always respected each other like guests, but at this time they wept and were heartbroken.
Li Shenliang, the secretary of the ministry, had a very personal relationship with Xiao Baoyin, and came with wine and meat. The two talked about the past, Li Shenliang cried, but Xiao Baoyin's face was calm, and he sighed: "Pushing the heavens and entrusting the fate, hatred will not be able to fulfill the minister's festival." After eating the wine and meat, Xiao Baoyin was hanged in the house.
Wan Qian Chounu and Xiao Baoyin died, and Emperor Yuanzi was pacified in Guanzhong and granted amnesty to the world. The Western Expeditionary Army was rewarded and sent envoys into the customs to preach in the near future.
。。。。。。
Today, Yu Jin returned home with a depressed look on his face. Pei Guo asked what happened.
Yu Jin sighed: "Li Shangshu and Xiao Baoyin have an old relationship, when Xiao Baoyin was killed before, Li Shangshu was a lover of personality, and he didn't listen to persuasion, so he went to the Xiao family of the Camel Cow Department... This is where the tongue comes in. Erzhu and his family held on to this matter, and the court continued to impeach them. Sun Teng, the lieutenant of the imperial history, even said that Li Shangshu's move hurt the hearts of the people, and the voices of indignation in the countryside were endless. ”
Li Shenliang is a secretary of the ministry, with very heavy authority and a key position, and he is actually a few important figures in the imperial party.
Pei Guo let out an "oh" and blurted out: "Although I know that Li Shangshu has a good temperament, he is indeed too careless." Thinking that Xiao Baoyin was in trouble, I don't know how many people were killed. The officials and people here in Luozhong, more or less have some relatives in Guanzhong, and they have suffered disasters, how can they not hate? ”
Yu Jin snorted coldly: "Hmph! It's just a pretext for the Erju thieves. Even if Li Shangshu didn't go to see Xiao Baoyin, most of them would have been besieged by him. I heard that in Jinyang, Er Zhurong swore that he would deal with Li Shangshu. ”
Even Er Zhurong was involved? Pei Guo was stunned: "Then why?" ”
"But it's an old case... Yu Jin said that he would get up.
Let's say that when Er Zhurong had not yet made a career in Xiurongchuan, he first took advantage of the chaos in the six towns to expand his strength; On the grounds that Ge Rong's chaotic army entered Shanxi, he attacked and seized the land of Xianzhou and Merge Prefecture in one fell swoop, and set up his own officials. If the local government resisted, Er Zhurong killed them one by one on the grounds of being a thief.
Wei Qingbin, the former assassin of Xianzhou, once closed the city gate to reject Zhu Rong's soldiers and horses, but the city was broken and killed. Wei Qingbin has a son, called Wei Ran, who has the hatred of killing his father and has been hiding incognito among the people. Recently, due to Yuen Long's avenging of his father's revenge, Wei Ran rose up and followed Yuen Long's example and assassinated the murderer who killed his father at that time. After that, he fled overnight and surrendered himself in Luoyang City.
The murderer who killed Wei Qingbin was originally a confidant general under Er Zhurong, and now he is serving as the commander of Quyang County, and once he dies, doesn't it make Er Zhurong angry?
As a result, in Luoyang City, the Tingwei Mansion sentenced Wei Ran not guilty according to the precedent of Yuen Long. Emperor Yuan Ziyou also issued an order to praise Wei Ran's filial piety and righteousness, and also ordered the officials to appoint them as appropriate.
Erzhurong suffered a dumb loss, and his anger rose even more --- Heyin Rebellion, and I don't know how many people died under his Erzhu sword. If the victims' families follow Yuen Long and Wei Ran's actions one by one, is it necessary to kill Erzhu and his family, including Erzhurong, in one shot?
I don't think this is over, Li Shenliang, the secretary of the ministry, got the emperor's instructions, and with a stroke of the pen, he actually made up Wei Ran for the post of Quyang County Commander. This move can be described as a naked slap in the face of Er Zhurong.
How powerful is Erzhurong today? And how arrogant? Seeing this, he was immediately furious. He didn't want to target Emperor Yuan Ziyu clearly, so all his anger was sprinkled on the heads of Wei Ran and Li Shenliang. Although he didn't see the words, he had already threatened to come out, if Wei Ran dared to go to Quyang, it would be a dead end, and he said that Li Shendao was rude, and he would definitely make him look good.
Wei Ran did not dare to take office, resigned and did not do anything, and his whereabouts are unknown. There is only one Li Shenliang left, who has long been a thorn in Er Zhurong's eyes and a thorn in his flesh.
Fanluo Zhongerzhu party, Yuan Tianmu, Erzhu Shilong, and now they join hands, and the first thing is to bring down Li Shendao. Li Shen's track has made trouble with the Camel and Cow Bureau, how can the Erzhu family miss it? He tightened his grip, and in addition to impeachment, he also talked about the anger of the people.
"I see." Pei Guo suddenly realized.
After a few more words, Yu Jin got up and left, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with filial piety, you just need to recuperate in peace." ”
Pei Guo said "um", and thanked him: "Brother Sijing takes care of it, my injury is also counted, and it is estimated that within three or five days, it will be healed." ”
