Chapter 163: The thief ambushes him
Liu Xiu opened the bamboo slip and looked down carefully.
Xiping granary is a dark pile that Kui Huan has long been buried in Chang'an, and it is also an important stronghold of Kui Huan's meticulous work in Chang'an.
The first person to contact Wu Qing was the shopkeeper of the Xiping granary, He Yong, the first person to buy Wu Qing with money, and He Yong.
After Wu Qing was bought off by He Yong, he followed He Yong's wishes and dismissed the servants in the official office one after another, and replaced them with Shen Lun and others.
Shen Lun is the big man with scars on his face.
It is worth mentioning that Shen Lun is Du Ling's apprentice, and Du Ling and Jin Dan are the two most important guests of Kui Huan.
Jin Dan is a master of alchemy, and Du Ling is a master of machine skills.
Those organs of Guanji were from the hands of Shen Lun and other senior brothers.
If you want to say that the martial arts of Shen Lun and the others are not very strong, but their mechanical skills are really powerful, and they are unguardable.
The women who disappeared in Chang'an City this time were all from the Xiping granary who were responsible for the operation, and after they succeeded, they deliberately left the hair of the beast at the scene, and pointed the finger of the clue at the black hair, big flower, and ermao raised by Liu Xiu.
The women who were kidnapped were first imprisoned in the secret room of the Xiping granary, and then took the opportunity of transporting ingredients for Guanji to smuggle these women out of the city and directly to Guanji.
These meticulous works are really smart, knowing that the official will not be suspected, let alone searched.
Here in Guanji, these women were secretly executed, put to the wild, and buried in a pit, so that they could not be found alive or dead, and no one could find out.
It's just that Wu Qing was greedy and lustful, and did not kill these women according to He Yong's wishes, but imprisoned them in Guanji's secret room for his amusement and became his personal playthings.
Shen Lun and the others were both disdainful and dissatisfied with Wu Qing's approach, but because they could still use Wu Qing for the time being, they turned a blind eye and let him toss.
That's the cause and effect of the whole case.
There were a total of eighteen women who were kidnapped, including both civilian women and daughters from rich and noble families.
After reading the closing of the case written by Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu slammed the bamboo slip on the table, and said angrily: "Wu Qing, He Yong, and Shen Lun are all thieves, full of evil, and their crimes are unforgivable!" β
Liu Zhang bowed and said, "Uncle, nephew thinks, like this, that everyone should be beheaded, and they should also be humiliated with the justice of the woman, and the anger of the people of Pingsanfu!" β
"Accurate!"
Liu Xiu didn't even hesitate, after a pause, he added: "Cut it in half!" β
Beheading is a more brutal death penalty than beheading.
Beheading is a matter of one thing, and when the knife goes down, the head hits the ground, and the person dies on the spot.
This is not the case with a slash, and a person will not die immediately, but will slowly die after suffering and suffering.
When many people are subjected to capital punishment, their bodies are cut into two sections, the back half of their bodies are still in place, and the front half of their bodies can crawl far away without dying, which is terrifying and terrifying.
Liu Xiu is not a ruthless person, there are not many people who are executed by him, even if they are executed, it is usually beheaded, and there are very few people who can be used by him to behead the capital punishment.
This time, Wu Qing and the others really made Liu Xiu angry.
Liu Zhang also viciously poisoned these heinous thieves, and immediately surrendered: "Nephew obeys!" β
Hua Feiyan on the side picked up the bamboo slip that Liu Xiu had dropped on the table, looked at it roughly, leaned towards Liu Xiu, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Shen Lun and the others are all disciples of Du Ling, and Du Ling is a master who is extremely good at mechanical skills. β
Du Ling, like Jin Dan, is a guest of Kui, in Hua Feiyan's opinion, this person may be won over by his own side, if he kills Shen Lun and others, then Du Ling will be the same as Jin Dan, and he will have no chance to win him.
Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "I have never regretted killing Jin Tong!" Kill Shen Lun's thieves, I will never regret it! β
Jin Tong committed the crime of assassinating the king, and he died innocently; Shen Lun and the others committed crimes that were not much lighter than Jin Tong, and their nature was even worse, how could Liu Xiu tolerate them?
Seeing that Hua Feiyan was still trying to persuade him, he waved his hand and said, "Even if killing Shen Lun's thieves will offend ten Du Ling, I will still kill him!" β
Hua Feiyan lowered her head and stopped talking.
It can be seen that His Majesty has made up his mind to cause Shen Lun and other senior brothers to die, no matter how much she says, it is useless, but there is still a suspicion of covering up.
As far as the heart is concerned, Hua Feiyan admires the master of the machine very much, if he can use it for his own side, it will undoubtedly become a big help, if he is used by Kui Huan, he will become his own fierce enemy, and he doesn't know how much trouble it will cause to his own side in the future! On the same day, Liu Xiu asked Jingzhao Yin Zhang Chang to put up notices in various places in Chang'an, announcing that the recent disappearance cases were all done by Kui Huan, and the official ordered Wu Qing, among whom all the thieves involved in the case, were beheaded.
In this announcement, Liu Xiu still left some affection for Guanji, and did not say that the entire Guanji was involved in the case, only that Wu Qing was involved in the case.
Guanji Guanji, after all, it is the official family's social palace, if something goes wrong, the court and even the Son of Heaven cannot escape the blame, for the sake of the face of the court, for his own face, Liu Xiu can't mention Guanji in the notice.
The announcement was posted, which caused an uproar in Chang'an and even in the entire Sanfu.
It is understandable to say that this case is related to the hustle and bustle, but what people don't understand is that how can a respected official order also be involved?
How could a dignified official order do such a despicable and shameless thing?
On the day of the execution, inside and outside the execution ground, there was simply a sea of people and overcrowded.
When the prisoner car holding Wu Qing and others appeared, the scene was like a frying pot, and scolding erupted.
I don't know who is moving, rotten vegetable leaves, and broken stones are thrown into the prisoner's car.
Naturally, the people in the prisoner car were smashed to the point that their heads were bleeding and they were in a state of embarrassment, and the officers and men escorting outside the prisoner car were also affected, and from time to time they were smashed into their bodies with broken stones, which clanged.
Because of the armor protection, it doesn't hurt to be hit by a small stone, but the taste of being smashed is not pleasant.
The helmets and armor of many soldiers were covered with rotten vegetable leaves, and the smell of rancid food was so bad that they grinned.
Finally escorted the prisoner car to the execution ground, and the officers and soldiers who escorted them all breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at their bodies, and secretly said that they were unlucky, how could they take on such a bad errand.
When the officers and soldiers opened the prisoner cart and pulled Wu Qing out of the prisoner cart, Wu Qing's legs were weak and he couldn't stand steadily, and he was forced to stand on the execution table by two soldiers.
By the time Wu Qing was pressed down, his crotch was wet, and urine flowed down his trouser legs.
He cried out in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty spares your lifeβ"The executioner is none other than Liu Zhang."
Liu Zhang looked at Wu Qing, who had been frightened into six gods, his face sank, he took out an arrow, threw it out, and shouted: "Execution!" β
With his order, the hanging guillotine fell, and a crisp click was heard in the ear chakra, and the falling guillotine cut Wu Qing in two.
Wu Qing opened his mouth wide and let out a heart-rending scream, and the only remaining arm kept swiping back and forth on the ground, leaving only half of his body, which kept turning in circles, and the intestines of the white flowers flowed all over the ground.
This is the torture of the half-headed.
He Yong was the next to be punished, followed by Shen Lun...... One by one, the living people were dragged to the execution ground, and when they were carried down, they were all cut in two, and they were thrown into the wagon, one by one, and they were piled up so high.
At the end of each execution, an executioner carried a bucket of water and poured the execution ground, and at the end of the day, all that flowed from the table was scarlet blood.
After Wu Qing, He Yong, Shen Lun and others were all put into action, this sensational serial disappearance case finally came to an end.
After that, Liu Xiu ordered Jingzhao Mansion to give all the abducted women a certain amount of compensation.
For the woman who stopped the royal driver and sued the royal complaint, Jingzhao Mansion gave an additional reward.
This case was cracked by Hua Feiyan, and the follow-up interrogation, closure and even imprisonment were all completed by Liu Zhang, Liu Xiu is still quite satisfied with Liu Zhang's performance, not too brilliant, but also not at fault, and decent.
But you must know that Liu Zhang is a newcomer to officialdom and has no experience, so it is not easy to do this.
After the case ended, Liu Xiu issued an edict and officially canonized Liu Zhang as the Pingyin Order, and went to Pingyin County to take office.
Liu Zhang is the king, he has a county fief, and the food he gets every year is far more generous than that of Hou.
But he couldn't be idle, he was bent on going to the battlefield, and Liu Xiu had no choice but to send him to Pingyin and let him be the parent official of a county.
If he has something to do, he doesn't have to always think about how to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.
Of course, Liu Zhang was not satisfied with Liu Xiu's will, but the holy decree had been issued, and he had no choice but to follow the decree and go to Pingyin.
Pingyin is in Henan County, not far from Luoyang, before Liu Zhang went to Pingyin, he first went back to Luoyang and entered the palace to meet Yin Lihua.
Liu Zhang and Yin Lihua have known each other for a long time, and speaking of which, Liu Zhang is older than Yin Lihua, but in terms of maturity, he is far inferior to Yin Lihua.
After seeing Yin Lihua, Liu Zhang didn't say a word, and knelt down with a puff.
Yin Lihua was startled, leaned forward, and asked, "What is King Taiyuan doing?" β
"Please make the decision for your nephew!"
"Huh?"
Yin Lihua looked dazed, and asked puzzledly: "Has the King of Taiyuan been wronged?" β
"Hmm......" Yin Lihua couldn't help laughing, this is fresh, and anyone else dares to give Liu Zhang grievances?
She asked curiously, "Who made the King of Taiyuan feel wronged?" β
"It's uncle!"
Liu Zhang told Yin Lihua about Liu Xiu's refusal to let him go to the battlefield and transferred himself to do the things of the Pingyin Order, and told Yin Lihua 1510.
In the end, he said: "Uncle has always listened to his aunt's words, as long as my aunt speaks well for my nephew at my uncle's place, my uncle will definitely take back his life!" β
As soon as she heard that it was this, Yin Lihua's shoulders immediately collapsed.
If she wants to say something else, she can also go to His Majesty to intercede on behalf of Liu Zhang, but when it comes to letting Liu Zhang join the army on the battlefield, Yin Lihua is also opposed.
She said helplessly: "This matter, I'm afraid I can't persuade Your Majesty, the King of Taiyuan also knows, Your Majesty has always valued you, for fear that you will make a mistake, the last time the King of Taiyuan suffered, Your Majesty did not hesitate to go into danger alone to save you, did the King of Taiyuan forget?" β
Liu Zhangdi lowered his head and stopped squeaking.
Yin Lihua said: "I can help with other things, I really can't help you with this matter." β
Looking up at Yin Lihua, Liu Zhang was like a frosted eggplant, wilting.
He muttered, "If even my aunt refuses to help my nephew, no one will be able to help my nephew!" β
Yin Lihua said: "I thought that His Majesty asked the King of Taiyuan to do the Pingyin Order, after some careful consideration, the battle, there will always be a day when the battle is over, and when the war is over, what else can the King of Taiyuan do?"
After all, it is necessary to return to the fiefdom and govern the fiefdom.
Now the king of Taiyuan is going to do the Pingyin Order, which is a good opportunity to hone his skills, and it can also lay a good foundation for governing the fiefdom in the future, accumulating experience. β
Liu Zhang understood all the truths she said, but he still wanted to go to the battlefield.
Convincing Yin Lihua to help him was his last resort, but Yin Lihua didn't allow it, he was really out of options.
He pondered for a long time, leaned forward to Yin Lihua, and whispered mysteriously: "Auntie, it's better to go to Chang'an to have a look!" β
Liu Zhang's thinking was too jumpy, and Yin Lihua didn't react for a while.
Liu Zhang continued: "Uncle is in Chang'an, raising a lot of beautiful women, not only conniving at those women to raise tigers and leopards and other beasts in the palace, but also conniving at those women to be officials in the court, if my aunt doesn't go to Chang'an to restrain my uncle, there will be chaos, Chang'an will give birth to a big mess!" β
After speaking, Liu Zhang nodded to Yin Lihua seriously, indicating that what he said was true.
His uncle wouldn't let him go to war, so he put on small shoes for him.
Liu Zhang plays Lai, but he is very much like his father.
