Liu Xiu didn't want to suspect anyone, but the facts were here, someone must have revealed their whereabouts.
Of course, Yin Lihua didn't believe that Xue Ying and Hongzhi would have problems, she pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, the news leaked out from the Feng Mansion. ”
Liu Xiu thought about it, it is not impossible to have this possibility.
He was suspicious of Xue Ying and Red Notes, but he just said it casually, Xue Ying and Red Notes have been by Lihua's side for so many years, if there is a problem, they will show it early, and they will not wait until now.
Li Zichun and Li Ziyu were suspected of colluding with the assassins and were imprisoned in the county governor's mansion. His two brothers insisted that they had nothing to do with the Assassins, and they did not know that the young man who called himself Jin Wen was the Son of Heaven.
The two of them bit to death, and Dong Xuan didn't interrogate them much, and directly handed them over to the Tingwei Mansion. He will be selfless in the things that Dong Xuan is responsible for, and he doesn't want to take care of things that he should not be responsible for.
Assassinating the Son of Heaven, there is no greater crime in the whole world, which can be investigated by a county government in every district.
Moreover, Li Zichun has a lot of roots in Luoyang, especially his friendship with King Zhao, if the county government insists on investigating this case, the pressure it faces is too great, and it is also unnecessary pressure, Dong Xuan is also willing to hand over this hot potato.
After entering the Tingwei Mansion, Li Zichun and Li Ziyu's treatment can be described as taking a sharp turn for the worse, and they were directly put on death row by Deng Chen.
In the process of interrogation, the Tingwei Mansion was not as polite as the county government, but only asked questions verbally, and all kinds of heavy punishments were used by his brothers. Li Zichun can still grit his teeth and insist, biting himself to death has nothing to do with the assassin.
He knew very well in his heart that if he relented and admitted this, what awaited him after that would be a dead end.
Compared to Li Zichun, Li Ziyu's bones were much softer, and after being tortured, it didn't take long for him to take it anymore and admit that he did have something to do with the assassins.
But when Deng Chen asked him how he colluded with the assassins, how they got in touch on weekdays, and what motives he had for assisting the assassins in assassinating the Son of Heaven, Li Ziyu couldn't answer at all. Looking at Li Ziyu's unbelievable appearance, Deng Chen was angry and funny. As a court lieutenant, Deng Chen is also knowledgeable, if he wants to say that Li Zichun colluded with the assassins, he may still believe it, but this Li Ziyu is a soft-boned man
If he were an assassin, he would never collude with someone like him. The reason why Li Ziyu admitted it was completely because he couldn't survive the punishment.
And he admitted so easily that he had something to do with the assassin, and he didn't seem to have thought about what the consequences would be after admitting it, how could he do such a big thing as assassinating the Son of Heaven with such a wine bag and rice bag?
When Deng Chen was interrogating the two brothers, Li Zichun and Li Ziyu, a guard walked in briskly from outside, and when Deng Chen approached, he intervened and said, "My lord, King Zhao asks to see you." ”
Liu Liang is Liu Xiu's uncle and Liu Yuan's uncle, as Liu Yuan's husband, can Deng Chen be unfamiliar with Liu Liang? Hearing the news that Liu Liang had come to the Tingwei Mansion, Deng Chen immediately got up and went out of the mansion to greet him.
When he arrived outside the gate of the mansion and saw Liu Liang standing at the gate, Deng Chen stepped forward quickly, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "The minister greets King Zhao!" ”
As soon as Liu Liang saw Deng Chen, he naturally thought of his niece Liu Yuan, who died in Xiaochang'an, and his heart was sour.
He waved his hand to Deng Chen and said, "If Ah Yuan is still alive now, it would be great if the family could be together safely!" ”
His unintentional exclamation immediately made Deng Chen recall his deceased wife, and his eyes became wet red. He cleared his throat and said, "King Zhao, please inside!" ”
Liu Liang nodded, patted Deng Chen's arm, and walked into the Tingwei Mansion with him.
When he arrived at the lobby of the Tingwei Mansion, Deng Chen asked Liu Liang to sit on the throne, but Liu Liang insisted on refusing. This is the Tingwei's Mansion, and he sits on the main seat, but the Tingwei has to sit below, what kind of system does it become.
Seeing Liu Liang's insistence, Deng Chen didn't want to let it again and again, and after the uncle and nephew sat down, Deng Chen asked, "...... King Zhao?"
As soon as he started talking, Liu Liang waved his hand and said, "You and my uncle and nephew, talk in private, you don't need to be long and short, it's too outward." ”
Deng Chen smiled and said, "Uncle came to the Tingwei Mansion this time, but is there something wrong?" ”
Liu Liang said: "I may not have seen Wei Qing for a long time, so I thought about coming over to see you, how is Wei Qing recently?" ”
Deng Chen owed to Liu Liang and said, "Uncle is worried, and my nephew is fine." ”
Liu Liang said with deep feelings: "It has been so many years since A-Yuan passed away, and there is no hostess in the Deng Mansion until now, this ......"
Speaking of this, Liu Liang shook his head and continued: "Wei Qing has been single for so many years, and it is time to marry another wife. ”
Deng Chen had heard this kind of thing many times, and every time someone mentioned it to him, he would turn his face on the spot and be angry.
It's just that now that Liu Liang says this, he really doesn't want to be angry. Yu Gong, Liu Liang is the king of Zhao, he is a courtier, Yu private, Liu Liang is an uncle, he is a son and nephew, whether he is public or private, he has to respect Liu Liang.
Deng Chen sighed softly and said, "In my nephew's heart, there is only Ah Yuan, and there is no one else!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Liang was also moved, although Ah Yuan died young, Ah Yuan really found a good husband! Liu Liang pulled out a handkerchief from his cuffs and wiped the corners of his wet red eyes.
After sighing for a while, he changed his words and asked, "I heard that the Tingwei Mansion arrested the two brothers, Li Zichun and Li Ziyu. ”
Deng Chen smiled bitterly, he knew that his uncle must have come to Tingwei Mansion this time for this matter. Deng Chen naturally knows something about the relationship between Liu Liang and Li Zichun, and it seems that his uncle came this time to intercede for Li Zichun.
He nodded and said, "That's true." ”
Liu Liang asked, "I don't know what his two brothers have done?" ”
Deng Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, and said, "Thorn Jun." ”
Zhang Ben went to report to Liu Liang, but said that Li Zichun and Li Ziyu had committed a big case this time, and even the county government couldn't manage it, and they wanted to hand it over to the Tingwei Mansion, but he didn't explain what the specific case was.
When Liu Liang came, he didn't take this matter too seriously, for ordinary people or ordinary ministers, the Tingwei Mansion was a Yama Palace, and it was easy to enter and difficult to get out.
But for him, Tingwei's Mansion is the place where his niece and son-in-law are in charge, and no matter how big the matter is, he can solve it with a word.
But Liu Liang never dreamed that the case committed by Li Zichun and Li Ziyu turned out to be an assassination. He was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Thorn ...... Thorn King? Stab...... Which kun is the stab? ”
Deng Chen whispered: "Today! Liu Liang's body was shocked, he looked at Deng Chen blankly, and was stunned for a while, then he shivered and said, "This ...... It's impossible! How could Zichun do such a thing as assassinating Jun? Weiqing, tell me about it, what the hell is going on
What's going on? ”
Deng Chen took a deep breath, and then told Liu Liang about the case he had learned. Liu Liang listened carefully, and when Deng Chen finished speaking, he fell silent again, stunned.
If everything Deng Chen said is true, then the case seems to be very clear, and the two brothers, Li Zichun and Li Ziyu, are indeed likely to be related to the assassins. However, according to his understanding of Li Zichun, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
Liu Liang pondered for a long time and asked, "Wei Qing, now you ...... How's your trial? ”
It stands to reason that Deng Chen should not reveal the details of the case in such a major case, but Liu Liang asked, and he didn't want to say it.
He said: "Li Ziyu has confessed and admitted that he has fornicated with the assassins, and Li Zichun insists that he has nothing to do with the assassins." ”
Liu Liang patted his thigh and said: "Li Ziyu has taken care of Zichun too well, arrogant and arrogant, how can he survive the big punishment of your Tingwei Mansion, he doesn't need to be punished, just a few whips, what you ask them to say, he will say anything." Hearing this, the corners of Deng Chen's mouth hooked imperceptibly, and he had to admit that his uncle still knew Li Zichun and Li Ziyu very well. As my uncle said, Li Ziyu is a straw bag, and he doesn't think about the consequences, but only wants to see it
A comfortable straw bale a moment ago.
Liu Liang rolled his eyes and asked, "Wei Qing, according to your judgment, do you think Li Zichun and Li Ziyu are really related to assassins?" Deng Chen shook his head and said, "Uncle, Wei Qing is not easy to judge this matter now. However, if Li Ziyu was really related to the Assassins, he would not confess so easily, and the Assassins would not be able to choose a soft bone like him as a companion
Scheme. He just said what he really thought in his heart, but he won Liu Liang's heart, Liu Liang nodded again and again, and said: "Wei Qing is right, although Li Ziyu is not young, his temperament is still like a child who has not grown up, as for Li
Zichun, he only wants to make money in business, how can he participate in a big case like the assassination of the nine clans! ”
Deng Chen didn't say anything more, after all, the case had not yet been tried, although he was inclined to have nothing to do with the two brothers Li Zichun and Li Ziyu, but he didn't dare to say it too hard.
Liu Liang said: "Weiqing, can I go and see Li Zichun?" ”
"This ......" Liu Liang's request made Deng Chen feel embarrassed.
Seeing this, Liu Liang asked, "Wei Qing doesn't think that I also have something to do with the assassins, right?" ”
Deng Chen was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle, don't misunderstand, Wei Qing has no such intention." After a pause, he said, "Uncle can go to visit Li Zichun, but Wei Qing needs to be present." ”
Liu Liang knew that this was already the limit of what Deng Chen could do. He nodded and said, "It's okay, so that everyone can avoid suspicion." On death row, Liu Liang saw Li Zichun, who was beaten and bruised. Li Zichun was lying on the meadow, he was already dying, and when he heard footsteps outside, he raised his head with great difficulty, looked out of the fence, and saw that the person who came was Liu Liang.
He wondered if he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked at it again, it was not Liu Liang or someone standing outside the fence.
It was confirmed that it was Liu Liang, Li Zichun's eyes were red, tears came out of his eyes, and he choked up and said in a trembling voice: "King Zhao......"
Seeing Li Zichun's current tragic situation, Liu Liang was also sour.
The relationship between Liu Liang and Li Zichun is really good, if Liu Liang has a serious illness, Li Zichun is busy running before and after, and he is more concerned than his own affairs. After so many years of getting along, the friendship between the two has already become extremely deep.
He was just about to speak, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Deng Chen still standing aside. He glanced at Deng Chen, who was also interested, and automatically walked to the side, a little farther away.
Liu Liang squatted down, looked at Li Zichun who climbed in front of the fence, and asked, "Zichun, I only want to ask you one thing, do those assassins have anything to do with you, did you find them?" Li Zichun's trouser legs have been stained red with blood, his two legs are almost unconscious, and he can't stand up at all, he lay on the ground, slowly raised his hand, and said: "King Zhao, Zichun can swear to the sky, if I, Li Zichun, have an affair with the assassin, I want to make an assassin."
This kind of rebellious thing, I, Li Zichun, and even my Li family, will be destroyed by heaven and earth, crushed bones and ashes, and there is no place to bury them! "His oath is poisonous enough. Liu Liang is not a stupid person, he and Li Zichun have known each other for so long, whether Li Zichun is telling the truth or not, he has a basic judgment in his heart. After Li Zichun finished speaking, he nodded heavily and whispered, "Only."
If you have nothing to do with the assassins, then, no matter how much punishment you have suffered, you have to grit your teeth and push through, as long as you don't let go, I will have a way to save you! "But once you can't stand it and confess like Li Ziyu, don't say it's me, and the gods can't save you!
