Chapter 92: A rake
In the general's mansion, the officials saw that Su Han was serious, so they had to obediently cooperate with the investigation. It's just that everyone is very unhappy in their hearts, and the dignified court officials are being searched like bandits, which is a great shame. So people were angry with Peng Mao and Zhang Shumo, thinking that it was the incompetence of the people in the Cao Yuan that led to the humiliation of everyone.
Liang Jia, as the county guard, took the lead in expressing his position and took the initiative to have the soldiers search him. Naturally, the people of the Su family would not complain, and they took the initiative to let the soldiers search. Other officials followed suit, asking the soldiers to search for clarity in order to prove their innocence.
Seeing this, Liu Kuang was in a mess, and had no choice but to quietly tell Liu Ye about taking the jade pendant.
After hearing this, Liu Ye couldn't help but look at Peng Mao and Zhang Shumo, and had doubts in his heart about Peng Mao and Zhang Shumo's words just now: the jade pendant was taken by Liu Kuang, that is, someone knocked Zhang Shumo unconscious but didn't steal anything. In this case, the person who beat Zhang Shumo must have taken revenge on him for something, but how could a normal person choose to take revenge on Zhang Shumo on such a day? Therefore, Zhang Shumo is likely to have lied, and he was not knocked out at all.
Thinking of this, Liu Ye whispered to Liu Kuang: "I will deliberately cause chaos later, you take advantage of the chaos to quietly put the jade pendant on the side of the road to the remote area, so that people will think that the subordinate fell it when carrying things, and no one will suspect you." ”
After the arrangements were made, Liu Ye suddenly said to Zhang Luhe Su Han: "Master Zhang, General Su!" The subordinates think that since they want to investigate, they must investigate thoroughly! The people of the House of Parliament are also in the house, and they have to be inspected too! Especially that Zhang Shumo, those words just now were all his words, what if he was guarding and stealing himself! ”
Everyone was already angry with Zhang Shumo because of this matter, and they all echoed Liu Ye's proposal when they heard it. When Su Han heard this, he hurriedly looked at Zhang Lu to see how he would react.
Zhang Lu looked at Liu Ye with a smile, and then said to everyone: "General Liu is right, since you want to investigate, you have to investigate thoroughly!" By my order, everyone who is here today will be searched. After speaking, Zhang Lu got up and stood up: "I can't be an exception!" ”
When everyone saw this, they were amazed. Liu Ye hurriedly explained to Zhang Lu: "Master Zhang misunderstood, his subordinates have no other meaning!" ”
Others also dissuaded: "I can't help it, Master Zhang, we didn't mean that!" ”
Su Han shook his head with a smile, and then also stood up: "Master Zhang is not afraid of shadows, how can he complain when he is searched." Since he has to be examined, the old man is naturally no exception. ”
Seeing the attitude of the two, everyone present naturally did not dare to complain anymore, but Liu Kuang took advantage of the lack of attention and quietly slipped out.
The people in the Cao Yuan originally had some opinions on Liu Ye's words, but seeing that Zhang Lu and Su Han both had such attitudes, they naturally accepted the inspection obediently.
Zhang Shumo was the first to be searched, and at this time Liu Ye suddenly said: "Check his head, since he was knocked unconscious, there will definitely be traces." ”
The soldier looked at the back of Zhang Shumo's head, but found no trace. Zhang Shumo couldn't help sighing, it seems that he will have to do a full set of dramas in the future.
"Report to your lordship, no signs of being beaten have been found." The searching soldier hurriedly said.
When everyone heard this, they immediately came to see the momentum, and whispered: "Sure enough, it's him, look at how he quibbles!" ”
Zhang Lu frowned when he heard this: "Zhang Shumo, how do you explain?" ”
Peng Mao on the side pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, originally this matter was fabricated by Zhang Shumo out of thin air, but now not only did he not get out of Liu Kuang, but he was beaten by Liu Ye, which really outweighed the loss.
Zhang Shumo hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Lord Qiyu, the villain was indeed knocked unconscious. The people of the House of Parliament can testify that they were woken up below. And I heard that as long as a person with strong martial arts is in place, he will not leave a trace even if he stuns others. ”
"You! What do you mean! The bearded man jumped up again: "You said that our generals knocked you unconscious?" ”
Zhang Lu looked at Su Han: "General Su, you are strong in martial arts, can you agree with what Zhang Shumo said?" ”
Su Han nodded: "It's not difficult for people who practice martial arts to do this, and these generals present should be able to do it." ”
Zhang Lu smiled: "Interesting, isn't the scope of the investigation narrowed?" ”
All the generals blushed, and Liu Ye regretted it even more, he didn't expect Zhang Shumo to be quick-witted, so easy to let him get mixed up, and splashed the dirty water back, if this son became an opponent with himself, he would definitely not be able to keep him in the future.
At this time, Zhang Shumo saw that Liu Kuang had returned to the crowd, so he hurriedly looked behind him. Ding Chao, who followed Liu Kuang, nodded at Zhang Shumo, Zhang Shumo gave him a look, and then knelt down and said: "Lord Qiyu, the villain just thought that this morning when the villain took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the side courtyard, he accidentally spilled the ink all the way, and if he had been to the side courtyard, the soles of his shoes might be stained with ink." ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the soles of their shoes. Zhang Lu smiled slightly, as if he had expected that Zhang Shumo would have a follow-up move: "Okay, then let's check everyone's soles first." ”
Liu Kuang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he hadn't been to the side hospital, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to tell. While thinking, Liu Kuang looked at the soles of his shoes, but the moment he saw the soles, Liu Kuang was stunned, when did this ink get on!
The people next to him soon noticed Liu Kuang's strange appearance, and when they saw the ink on Liu Kuang's shoes, the people next to him exclaimed in surprise: "General Liu, you!" ”
The soldiers heard the movement and hurriedly came over to check, Liu Kuang was stunned in place with his shoes: "You have to believe me, I really haven't been to the side courtyard, really not!" ”
Everyone looked at Liu Kuang one after another, Liu Ye strained his face, and he didn't know if Liu Kuang didn't tell him the truth, or if there was something else. But no matter what, Liu Kuang can't ignore it.
So, Liu Ye strode to Liu Kuang's side and slapped him in the face: "If you don't fight for something, you dare to steal even what Your Majesty rewarded, since that thing is rewarded to my brother, will my brother not give it to you?" Liu Ye said while fighting, letting others understand that Liu Kuang didn't need to steal what His Majesty had rewarded him at all.
"I didn't steal, I didn't steal, brother! Ladies and gentlemen, believe me! Liu Kuang knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted at Liu Ye.
"Dare to quibble, come and search him!"
After a while, the two soldiers searched Liu Kuang, and then said to Liu Ye: "General Qiyu, no jade pendant was found." ”
Liu Ye also hurriedly said to Zhang Lu and Su Han: "Two adults, since you haven't found anything, I wonder if you can clear my brother's suspicion?" ”
When Zhang Lu and Su Han were hesitating, Lou Zaiying suddenly walked into the venue with a team of soldiers: "General Qiyu, the last general picked up this jade pendant when he was patrolling, and I heard that the adults were looking for it, so I sent it over." ”
Everyone looked at Lou Zaiying Zaiying's hand, and it was indeed a beautiful jade pendant.
