Chapter 34: A Shadow of Blue
Lu Xiaoshu only wore civilian clothes, walked through the corridor, and saw that snowflakes were floating in the sky, falling scattered, and a thin layer had been laid on the ground. remembered that his wife loved the snow scene, and thought that he would accompany her to enjoy the snow for a while.
Just as a woman came to meet her, she turned sideways to give way and saluted Hou Ye'an.
Lu Xiaoshu was relatively faceblind to the ladies around his wife, and he didn't remember any of them, so he couldn't call them for a while, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”
The lady bowed her head and blushed and said, "Lord Hou, the slave is called Hongkou." ”
Lu Xiaoshu listened, nodded and said, "You go and inform Madame, ask her to come out to enjoy the snow, and then ask her to wear more clothes." ”
The lady received the order and bowed and resigned.
Lu Xiaoshu was about to leave, and suddenly thought about it, isn't my lady's name Hong'er?
Then he called the lady back and instructed, "In the future, your name will be Mung Bean, do you know?" ”
Although the woman was inexplicable, she didn't dare not agree.
Lu Xiaoshu saw that she agreed, so he sent it away and walked towards the front hall by himself.
By the time he arrived in the front hall, Cai Yong had already drunk most of the pot of tea.
Although the snow was falling outside the house and the cold was pressing, the inside of the house was warm like spring, and the eyes of the adults were red.
Lu Xiaoshu put on a shelf, slowly crossed into the front hall, and when he came to the door, he pretended to cough.
Cai Yong was already waiting anxiously, but when he heard the voice, he hurriedly got up and said, "Too often Cai Yong visits the Marquis of Anyi." ”
Although Lu Xiaoshu has been in the Han Dynasty for a long time, he is still not used to older people saluting him, so he hurriedly helped him up with both hands and said: "Too often no need to be polite, please sit down and talk." ”
invited Cai Yong to sit down, and Lu Xiaoshu went to the main seat to sit down.
"What did Taichang come to do today?" Lu Xiaoshu got straight to the point.
Cai Yong didn't want the young man to be so direct, so he couldn't use the polite words that he had prepared for a long time.
Thinking that this is the case, it will save trouble, and said loudly: "I have two things to do today, the first is that the little girl was killed in Bingzhou back then, but fortunately the Marquis of Anyi rescued her and saved her from a catastrophe. I have not had time to come to thank him, and I hope that the Marquis of Anyi will forgive his sins. ”
Lu Xiaoshu sneered in his heart, this father and daughter are the same, they are just two good words and want to send themselves away, do I look stupid?
just said lightly: "Too often, you don't have to be polite, it is the duty of my Han soldiers to protect the people of the Han Dynasty." Please say your second thing! ”
Cai Yong's many words were still brewing in his abdomen, and when he heard Lu Xiaoshu's words, he was immediately angry, and his face was swallowed raw, and he choked red.
Lu Xiaoshu also felt that the anxiety just now was too obvious, but he was really anxious to accompany the lady to enjoy the snow, if you have anything to say, you can finish it in three or two! Then he changed his soft voice and said, "Please continue to say it too often." ”
Cai Yong relieved himself and said solemnly: "This second thing is about the misunderstanding between the Marquis of Anyi and Shang Shuling, this is an obvious divisive plan, and its purpose is to destroy the peaceful atmosphere inside Luoyang City. ”
Lu Xiaoshu said coldly: "It turns out that Lord Taichang is here to be a lobbyist. ”
Cai Yong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The Marquis of Anyi misunderstood, although the Wei family begged me to intercede for their subordinates many times, I refused, I came not for them this time, but for the court, and even more for the Marquis of Anyi." ”
Lu Xiaoshu was a little interested, and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Cai Yong cleared his throat before he said: "Marquis of Anyi, think about it, why is the rebellious army blatantly acting in the name of the holy decree? ”
Lu Xiaoshu shook his head and thought, how do I know, they can't really have a holy decree.
Cai Yong said: "If the rebel army dares to falsely pass on the holy decree, it must be sure that it will not leave a living mouth, but there is no guarantee that a thousand people will catch three hundred pigs, let alone three hundred Hou Mansion guards!" So they deliberately left clues to make the ministers suspicious of each other. Then there is the question of motives, Shang Shuling has no reason to do anything to the family of the Marquis of Anyi, because the Marquis of Anyi led troops outside, harming the family of the Marquis of Anyi, and harming the family of the Marquis of Anyi, did him all kinds of harm and no benefit, so why did he make such a decision and attract envy in vain? ”
Lu Xiaoshu listened thoughtfully and was silent.
Cai Yong continued: "Then there is the matter of time, Da Sima's death was on October 23rd, but the rebel army actually launched an action on the night of the 25th, shouldn't this kind of major event be planned early in the morning?" Obviously, the people who killed Da Sima are not the same people as those who want to harm Da Sima and the family of the Marquis of Anyi, these people are delayed in news and slow in action, how can they be Shangshu Province in the center of power? ”
Seeing that Lu Xiaoshu was speechless, Cai Yong continued: "In the end, there is the issue of soldiers, these chaotic troops are all miscellaneous soldiers and fast catchers, and they usually catch a few thieves and move a few truckloads of materials, how can they have combat effectiveness, do the people behind the scenes want to rely on the miscellaneous soldiers at this point to capture the mansion of important ministers?" Take control of Luoyang? Obviously they can't. ”
Lu Xiaoshu was secretly shocked when he heard this, this seems to be very reasonable. asked: "So it is too often believed that Shang Shuling has nothing to do with this case?" ”
Cai Yong said: "I don't know if Shang Shuling has anything to do with this case, but at least I am sure that Shang Shuling would never give such an order." Although Wang Yun is proud and has a bad character, his IQ is indeed rare and good, how can he kill himself? ”
Lu Xiaoshu listened to his thorough analysis, and already believed seven or eight points, it seems that he may really have wronged Wang Yun, so does Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng's army who besieged the Great Sima Mansion also have other hidden secrets? The originally quite clear facts of the case were muddyed by Cai Yong's words.
Lu Xiaoshu suddenly became two heads and asked, "Then I often think that who is manipulating all this." ”
Cai Yong replied: "I think this person should not be in Luoyang, judging from the delay of his news, he should be at least a day's journey away from Luoyang." The third is that this person has a relatively low level of knowledge and only focuses on the present, and fourth, it is estimated that he has a deep hatred for Da Sima and the Marquis of Anyi, so he can make a bestial act of destroying people's families. Fifth, this person is very ambitious, and he thinks about doing a big thing all day long, wanting to make a big mess in Luoyang and even the world, so that he can sit back and reap the benefits. ”
Lu Xiaoshu listened to Cai Yong's analysis, and felt that it made sense, how could he always feel that his brain was not enough recently, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the ancients.
When Cai Yong was leaving, Lu Xiaoshu asked him: "Why did Taichang come to tell me this?" ”
Cai Yong said with a smile: "I came to tell An Yihou two things today, because the first thing, I will talk to An Yihou about the second thing." ”
The snow is falling,
Falling from the sky,
Like wisps of flying emotions.
From the chest and lungs of man,
Drift to the boundless sky,
Loaded with heavy dreams,
Spread all over the earth.
Cai Yong stepped out of the snow, leaving a green shadow, which was imprinted in Lu Xiaoshu's eyes for a long time.
