Since the opening of the state-owned Tingwei Mansion, it has been a mass grave, a distribution center for unjust souls, and a palace of the king of Hades that ghosts are afraid of.

At present, as the prime minister, he is the busiest person in the world, and what worries him the most is that Wei Qing has not come back yet.

Before, Liu Che had already issued a holy decree to Wei Qing, who was patrolling the border in Shanggu County, to return to Beijing, but the Hu people's southward movement made Wei Qing a little more worried, so he also delayed some time in Shanggu County.

hasn't come back yet, of course, there is another reason, that is, Mrs. Shen is also in northern Xinjiang, Wei Qing must bring it back with Mrs. Shen when she comes back, otherwise how can she do it?

"Ruoyao, Ruoyao." Gongsun Hong didn't care about resting, and he was always worried about Wei Qing on the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he changed the route and went to the Cheqi General's Mansion, and he began to shout at the gate before he entered the door.

Wei Qing's mansion is indeed shabby, since Mrs. Shen left, no one in the mansion is taking care of the country, and the guards at the door simply didn't ask for it anymore, so they released two big lions.

When the people in the courtyard heard the shouting, they hurriedly opened the door, and when they saw that it was the prime minister, they all bowed down.

"Ah, my prime minister, why don't you sleep at night so much? Yang Dongwen recruited? Ruoyao actually hadn't slept yet, so he educated Wei Budo, the second son of the Wei family, and he was as worrying as his brother Wei.

Gongsun Hong looked at the courtyard, then took a deep breath and said, "Where is the old man still in the mood to sleep." After speaking, he slowly walked towards the hall: "When will Wei Qing come back, did Song Yujun pick them up?" ”

Ruoyao was depressed, how could she ask her about this: "I don't know, aren't you busy with Liu Bin's affairs these days?" ”

"Hey! It was eventful. Gongsun Hong sighed and walked into the General's Mansion.

The two waited at home depressed for more than an hour, Gongsun Hong was really tired and simply rested on the chair, Gongsun Hong was used to this way of resting, and he was used to the harsh environment of the grass shed before.

And Ruoyao was the same, she had already rested on the chair, waiting for the news of Wei Qing's return to Chang'an.

And in the middle of the night, the prime minister's mansion came to report, and listened to the person who monitored Liu Bin said that Liu Xijun came back in the middle of the night and found that there was a change in the garden, and now the two had slipped away, asking for instructions on whether to arrest or intercept them.

Gongsun Hong was old, and his head was about to explode when he was tossed by his subordinates, so he exhaled and said, "Let it go." ”

"No!" Zhongcheng didn't leave after he finished, and he seemed to have something to say, but he was afraid of disturbing Gongsun Hong's rest.

Gongsun Hong's sleepiness at this time was gone, and he stared at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhong Cheng looked at Ruo Yao, who was sleeping soundly on the side, and said softly, "Yu Shi Cheng, dead." ”

"Ah, dead? How to die. Ruoyao suddenly widened his eyes and stood up, as if the news had pierced his nerves.

Gongsun Hong glanced blankly and said, "What a fuss." ”

Zhongcheng looked at Ruoyao and said, "He was killed by Zongzheng." ”

"Okay, okay, okay, you quickly notify the secret guards and let Liu Bin and them out of the city." After Gongsun Hong finished speaking, he stretched and then suddenly continued: "Tell the Praetorian Guards that everyone who goes out of the city at night in the past few days will open one eye and close one eye. ”

Gongsun Hong's idea is very simple, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he can't face the vassal states head-on.

"No!" Zhongcheng replied and left.

After Zhongcheng left, Ruoyao always felt wrong, why did Zongzheng Liu Qianyong kill Yang Dongwen?

"Prime Minister, it's not right." The more Ruoyao thought about it, the more wrong it became: "Yang Dongwen is locked up in the prison of Tingwei Mansion, what does Liu Qianyong care?" ”

Gongsun Hong twisted his neck, then looked at the white sky outside and said, "This is his duty. ”

"How is that possible? Besides, the arrest of Yang Dongwen was carried out in secret, except that the Tingwei Mansion is you and me, when did Liu Qianyong know that Yang Dongwen was arrested? That's right. Ruoyao kept asking questions, which was a bit like scaring a snake.

Gongsun Hong frowned after hearing this, although this matter involved Zongzheng, it seemed really unreasonable.

Zongzheng is an official position in the Western Han Dynasty, and he ranks under Jiuqing, the third duke, and is older than Yang Dongwen.

Zongzheng is the important position in the imperial court responsible for the affairs of the vassal states, that is, the modern Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office, the preface records the kingdom and the appropriate ranks, and the relatives of the clans, and the age of the county is counted in the name of the clan.

If there is a person who violates the law, he will first go to Zongzheng, and Zongzheng will report it and then execute. The subordinate officials include Du Sikong Ling, Cheng, Internal Officials, and Cheng. Du Sikong order, in charge of the sinners of the clan; The chief of the house, in charge of the princess's family orders, door captains, etc.

Therefore, the Yang Wendong incident involves the vassal states, and Zong Zheng can indeed come forward, but Zhang Ou also issued an order to the Tingwei Mansion today, and this matter must be kept secret, so how did Zong Zheng know that Yang Dongwen was arrested? He also killed him.

Ruoyao saw that Gongsun Hong was also analyzing, so she asked excitedly as if she had found a breakthrough: "How is it?" Does it feel like he has an urge to kill people? What's more, who revealed this information, I arrested the person, and he was locked up in the Tingwei Mansion, where is the Tingwei Mansion? How could it be possible to reveal this? ”

Gongsun Hong was indeed swayed by Ruoyao's thinking, and the focus was on how Zong Zheng knew that Yang Dongwen was arrested?

Zong Zheng belongs to Jiuqing, and he is also a subordinate of Gongsun Hong, and the contact between the two is very close, but in Gongsun Hong's impression, Zongzheng Liu Qianyong's personality is similar to that of Han Anguo, the previous imperial historian, and he is also a centrist in the court.

Is such a person, why did he kill Yu Shi Cheng Yang Dongwen?

"Yes, yes, at least there are doubts." Gongsun Hong was also suspicious in his heart, is this considered a startling snake?

After daybreak,

Gongsun Hong took Ruoyao to the Tingwei Mansion again and had a detailed understanding of Yang Dongwen's death.

According to Tingwei, in the middle of the night last night, Zongzheng Liu Qianyong suddenly came to Tingwei's mansion, because Liu Qianyong was ranked in Jiuqing, so Tingwei didn't dare to offend, so he met Yang Dongwen.

When Liu Qianyong learned that His Majesty had issued an edict to behead Yang Manmen, he actually killed Yang Dongwen in front of the court lieutenant, and the reason given was the charge of Yang Dongwen colluding with Liu Jun, the king of Bohai, issued by Zongzheng Mansion.

"You tell Ben Xiang honestly, was the Tingwei Mansion already copying Yang Dongwen's house before he came?" Gongsun Hong didn't want to let go of the slightest clue, especially the point in time.

Tingwei looked at Zhang Ou on the side and said: "Back to the prime minister, no, the original plan was to act at night, but Lord Zhang said that it was better to wait until dawn to act." ”

Zhang Ou took over the conversation and said: "Yes, it was very late last night, and the official asked him to go to the house at dawn." ”
