Chapter 69: Conspiracy Again
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Feng Yi nodded, stood up, and bowed to Liu Xiushen.
Li Yi said: "Uncle Wen, Ji Yuan and I also plan to return to Wancheng tomorrow......
Before he finished speaking, Li Tong answered: "Cousin, you don't have to be in such a hurry to go back to Wancheng, right?" ”
Li Yi glanced at him inexplicably, didn't Feng Yi already make it clear just now, time is running out, the foundation of the Xinmang Imperial Court has been shaken, if you don't plan for something big at this time, when will you wait?
Without waiting for him to speak, Li Tong continued: "Otherwise, my cousin will go back to Wancheng first, and I will stay in Chungling for a few more days." ”
Li Yi wondered if Li Tong's brain had broken down in the water, so he went back first? What's the use of going back to Wancheng first? Can you say that you can move your uncle Li Shou?
Long Yuan suddenly laughed on the side, he patted Li Tong's arm, and said, "The love of children can be put aside for the time being, everything should be based on the overall situation." ”
His inexplicable words stunned everyone present, only Li Tong seemed to have a mirror in his heart. His old face turned red, his head bowed, and he didn't say a word.
Liu Xiu asked puzzledly: "What kind of children's affection?" ”
Long Yuan smiled: "Lord, I don't know if Miss Boji has a marriage match?" ”
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Tong, who was not only blushing, but also had a red neck, and then looked at Long Yuan, who was tacitly aware, and then he suddenly realized that the dimension had taken a fancy to his little sister!
He blinked, rubbed his chin again, and said, "Becky hasn't been married yet......"
Hearing this, Li Tong's heart beat faster, and two bright lights flashed in his eyes.
However, Liu Xiu then continued: "But for a long time, there have been a lot of people who have come to propose marriage, both young talents and famous families, but my little sister can't look down on them. ”
What does the Lord think of me? Li Tong almost blurted out this sentence.
"Not everyone can be my brother-in-law, at least he has to be eight feet tall, burly and strong, powerful, rich and ......" Every time Liu Xiu said a word, Li Tong's face became ugly, and when Liu Xiu said the end, Li Tong's red face turned black.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing. In fact, Liu Xiu will not interfere with Liu Boji's marriage, as long as the little sister likes it, no matter who she wants to marry, Liu Xiu will support it.
However, he is also a very joking person, especially with people close to him, and when he says these words, he is purely teasing Li Tong.
Feng Yi, Long Yuan, and Li Yi also saw Liu Xiu's joke, and laughed along.
They were laughing when a man came from the country road.
The man was dressed in an ordinary, sackcloth and linen trousers, with straw sandals underneath and a straw hat on his head. When the man approached, Liu Xiu glanced at the man, his eyes were very angry, obviously not a native of Chungling.
As the man was about to walk past them, one of them didn't pay attention and kicked the kettle that was placed on the side of the road. Long Yuan, who was sitting by the kettle, was quick with his hand, and lifted the kettle, and the man's kick was also kicked into the air.
Long Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "Your Excellency walk carefully, if you kick and break someone's things, you will also have to pay for it." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then he made a gesture to Long Yuan with a smile on his face, and said, "I'm really sorry, I was distracted just now, and it was rude, and I hope that Brother Tai will add more Haihan." ”
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Although the other party almost kicked over the kettle, his attitude was very good, and he immediately admitted his mistake, and Long Yuan didn't want to say anything more, he put the kettle down and bowed back to the other party.
The man nodded to Liu Xiu and the others again, and walked away.
Looking at the back of the man, it was not until the other party walked far away that Long Yuan withdrew his gaze and said to Liu Xiu: "Lord, this person is a little weird. ”
Judging by his dress, he is no different from an ordinary farmer, but he talks and behaves politely, not like a vulgar person.
Liu Xiu shrugged and said, "It has nothing to do with us. Having said that, he looked at the man's back.
The man did not follow the country road into the village, and when he was about to reach the entrance of the village, he suddenly turned a corner and walked in the other direction, as if he was heading for the county seat.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu retracted his gaze and continued to talk to Feng Yi and the others.
The man was indeed heading for the county seat. He walked out for more than half an hour, and a carriage was parked on the side of the road in front of him, and the man walked quickly to the carriage and got into it.
In the carriage, there was a man about thirty years old, dressed ordinarily, with a thin figure, his appearance was not good, and his face was yellow and muscular.
When the man dressed as a farmer entered the carriage, he knelt down, bowed respectfully to the yellow-faced man, and said, "My lord! ”
The yellow-faced man nodded and asked, "How is it?" ”
The farmer shook his head slowly and said, "There are too many people around Liu Xiu, and there are many masters among them, so my subordinates think that it is really difficult to succeed if they act rashly!" ”
The yellow-faced man frowned, and said quietly: "The task of the main bus generation, we have completed it very smoothly, but Liu Xiu, the leader of Lingling, has not made progress for a long time, and the lord has repeatedly asked about this matter, if I can't complete the task in the near future, I really don't have the face to go back to Chang'an to meet the lord." ”
They had two operations against Liu Xiu before, but they were all sabotaged by others and failed, they thought that they had enough time and would be able to wait for a suitable meeting, but they never expected that Liu Xiu suddenly followed his eldest brother to join the rebel army and went to Yizhou to fight with Nanban.
finally brought Liu Xiu and others back, but he brought back a large group of friends, these people were inseparable from him, and his side had no chance to start.
The farmer cautiously reminded: "My lord, there are many people around Liu Xiu, and there are more people around Liu Xiu, once it is handed over, Liu Xiu's people will be able to arrive soon, as long as Liu Xiu is still in Chungling, we have no chance of success." ”
"So, you mean, we should find a way to lure Liu Xiu out of Chungling?"
"Yes, sir." Farmer Zhengse said: "As long as Liu Xiu is out of Chungling, there are too many opportunities for us to attack him." ”
The yellow-faced man asked, "Do you have any good strategies to lure Liu Xiu out of Chungling?" ”
In the past, Liu Xiu farmed at home, had a good harvest every season, and often went to the county market to sell grain, but now he has not planted for several months, let alone a harvest at all, and it is unlikely that he will go to the county market in a short time.
The farmer leaned forward and whispered, "My lord, I found one thing, Liu Xiu's side seems to be harboring an important criminal of the imperial court. ”
The yellow-faced man's eyes flashed, and he asked, "The court wants to commit a crime?" ”
"Long Yuan!"
"Long Yuan? A while ago, the Long Yuan who assassinated the Son of Heaven in Lantian County? ”
"Exactly!"
"Do you see clearly? Is it confirmed that it is him? The yellow-faced man asked.
"This ......" The farmer didn't dare to be 100% sure that the man who caught the kettle was Long Yuan, but that person was very similar to Long Yuan's portrait, and they both had scars on their foreheads, but the shape of the scars was different.
He pondered for a moment and said, "There are seven or eight points of similarity. ”
The yellow-faced man narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Enough." Whether that person is Long Yuan or not, this is an opportunity for us. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Report Liu Xiu to the county order, saying that he harbored the important criminal who assassinated the king, such a major matter, the county order will definitely send someone to bring Liu Xiu into the county government for interrogation, as long as Liu Xiu enters the county office, our opportunity will come."
When the farmer heard this, he nodded again and again, and a smile appeared on his solemn face, and he leaned over and said, "Your Excellency! ”
The yellow-faced man lifted the curtain and said to the groom sitting outside: "Little Wu, go to the county office!" ”
The horseman who drove the carriage agreed, flicked the whip, drove the carriage, and went straight to Caiyang County.
The county magistrate of Caiyang County is named Feng Sheng, a middle-aged man in his forties. His official character is not good, nor is it bad, he is sleek, he doesn't have much ambition, he is a little rich, and he is very comfortable doing a county order in Caiyang.
When he heard that someone had reported that someone had reported Liu Xiu and harbored important criminals in the court, he was startled and hurriedly asked the person who reported to come in.
The one who came to see Feng Sheng was the yellow-faced man. After he finished saluting, Feng Sheng asked with a sinking face, "What's your name?" ”
"Villain Liu Qing!"
"You reported that Liu Xiu harbored a wanted criminal in the imperial court?"
"Exactly!"
"Which important criminal is Liu Xiu harboring?"
"Do you remember that some time ago, Your Majesty was assassinated in Lantian County?"
"Of course! The assassin's name is Long Yuan, and he is currently wanted by various government offices......" Speaking of this, Feng Sheng suddenly paused, he raised his eyebrows in disbelief, and asked, "You reported that Liu Xiu harbored Long Yuan?" ”
"Your Excellency is wise!" The yellow-faced man bowed his hand.
Feng Sheng's face turned white.
Long Yuan, the assassin who assassinated His Majesty, hid in his own jurisdiction? If this matter is stabbed to the imperial court, then it will be repaid, this is not a matter of whether he can keep the black gauze hat, and whether he can keep the head of Xiang Shang.
Besides, Liu Xiu is nothing, the key is that Liu Xiu has a domineering big brother Liu Xiu!
Feng Sheng had dealt with Liu Xuan before, and that was a master who dangled sideways and didn't want to die.
Liu Xuan took in many people, including many gangsters who were being arrested by the county government, but the officials went to Liu Xuan's house to arrest people, and all of them were beaten out by him.
That's not all, Liu Xuan even directly found Feng Sheng and warned him, don't get along with him, otherwise, be careful that his whole family sleeps with a head and doesn't get up without a head.
There are only a few officials in the county government, and they really can't deal with Liu Xuan, the head snake.
If it is to transfer troops to deal with Liu Xuan, it will not be enough, and for a county commander, it is too troublesome to transfer troops, and the matter is big, and it will not do Feng Sheng any good.
On weekdays, Feng Sheng was reluctant to provoke Liu Xuan, as long as Liu Xuan didn't go too far, he would turn a blind eye and never see it.
Now someone has reported that Liu Xiu's younger brother Liu Xiu harbored the assassin's criminal, whether it is public or private, Feng Sheng is reluctant to take over this matter.
He looked at the yellow-faced man with a sinking face, cleared his throat, and asked coldly, "Liu Qing, did you see it with your own eyes?" ”
"Yes, sir." "Do you see clearly that person is Long Yuan?"
