Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and rumors have always spread the fastest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, in one day, the rumors that Zhang Liaochun, who was in charge of Jinwu, washed the song and dance workshop in blood at night and killed the cousin of the Son of Heaven spread throughout Chang'an City.

Countless people scolded Zhang Liao endlessly, and even the details of how Zhang Liao killed innocents were passed on as if they were there, and many migrants who had received Zhang Liao's favor have exported to defend "Little Zhang Sima", but they have no evidence, and the defense is so weak. Even many migrants had to believe the "facts" of Xiao Zhang's murder in the face of "justified" rumors.

Zhang Liao became a big villain in Chang'an in a blink of an eye, and his murderous reputation was far and wide, and even rumors of him killing prisoners on the Kwantung battlefield came out.

Even the Tai students were agitated and demanded that Zhang Liao be killed.

And Taishi Dong Zhuo was still in Hewu, more than 400 miles away, and did not come back.

In Weiyang Palace, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and Wang Yun convened the courtiers again to discuss the bloody case of the song and dance workshop.

It's just that the "three solitary sitting" in front of the courtiers in the past is missing Liu Huan, the lieutenant of the division and the courtiers, and only the Shangshu Ling Wang Yun and the Emperor Fu Song in the imperial history are left, but in the court where Dong Zhuo covers the sky with one hand, the imperial history is just a decoration.

But Dong Zhuo and Liu Huan were not there, and the courtiers were undoubtedly much more relaxed, and there were many speculations about the bloody case, but there was no result. Folk rumors spread everywhere, but only these people know that so far there is no evidence to prove that Zhang Liao is the murderer, and it is only because the cousin of the Son of Heaven was killed, and the matter is too big, Zhang Liao was temporarily imprisoned.

In addition, because Zhang Liao and Liu Huan were both Dong Zhuo's cronies, everyone had scruples and did not dare to speak nonsense, and in the end, Wang Yun could only order Tingwei Xuanfan to investigate the case as soon as possible.

Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, sat on it, swept over the ministers below who had scruples, and suddenly said: "I heard that when I was patrolling the city, the people of Chang'an fell to their knees, and their scenery was better than that of me and the Taishi, but I don't know if it's true?" ”

The ministers couldn't help but look at each other when the Son of Heaven came coldly. They didn't know why the young Son of Heaven suddenly said such a sentence, but they could feel that the Son of Heaven seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhang Liao, who was in charge of Jinwu.

Situ Wang Yun also said in a deep voice: "Zhang Wenyuan's move is indeed against the courtesy, even if he has nothing to do with the bloody case, he should be punished." ”

At this time, Zuo Zhonglang opened Cai Yong's mouth and said: "Zhang Wenyuan won the support of the people, it was he who risked his life to ask for the life of Dong Taishi, supervised the migration, and saved countless people, at that time, His Majesty and Situ were worried about the people several times, and Zhang Wenyuan shared the worries between His Majesty and Situ, and saved the people from fire and water for the Son of Heaven, but now Situ blames him, and the ministers think it is unfair. If you ask Wenyuan about the sin because of this, the minister is afraid that it will chill people's hearts and lose the hope of the people. ”

On the side, Zhou Zhong and Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang echoed: "That's right. ”

Immediately followed by Sikong Chun, Yujia and other Kwantung ministers who had benefited from Zhang Liao's protection of his family, also spoke.

Wang Yun's expression froze, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven on the throne, also fell silent.

……

In the back garden of Cai's mansion in the north of the Jiadi, Cai Yan sat under the pavilion, holding a scroll in his bare hands, bowing his head and reading quietly.

Since his sweetheart came to Chang'an, Cai Yan has gone to the pain of lovesickness, and he has resumed his habit of reading since childhood.

She is slightly green silk, her expression is tranquil, she reads quietly, there is a kind of wise beauty, this is the unique style of a talented woman, the elegance is peerless, and people are ashamed of themselves and do not feel in love.

Twelve-year-old Cai Ying accompanied her sister to study, and she was usually active, she was also well-behaved like a little lady at this time, quite a bit of a sister's temperament.

The two sisters read together, like a beautiful scenery, adding a bit of aura to the back garden where the autumn leaves are withering.

It's just that before he could read for a while, his younger brother Cai Wan hurriedly came in and shouted: "Sister, it's not good, my brother-in-law killed people in the song and dance workshop and was sent to Tingwei Prison!"

"Tingwei Prison?" The scroll in Cai Yan's hand fell to the ground, and his face was pale.

She naturally knew that Tingwei Prison was terrible, and few officials who went in could come out, so she hurriedly asked about her younger brother's situation.

Cai Wan is a rumor that he heard from the market, which is naturally extremely serious, and even Zhang Liao has a theory about how to do it.

"Wen Yuan can't do this, someone must have framed it." Cai Yan chose to completely believe in his sweetheart, just from the rumors, it can be seen that the situation is indeed very serious, at least Zhang Liao's reputation has taken a sharp turn for the worse in one day, which is the biggest disadvantage for Zhang Liao.

She was so anxious that she couldn't care about reading anymore, so she hurried to the front yard, just in time to see her father Cai Yong coming back, and said urgently: "Ah Weng, Wen Yuan was really imprisoned in Tingwei Prison?" ”

Cai Yong sighed.

Cai Yan immediately knew the result, and she said urgently: "Ah Weng, how could Wen Yuan commit murder?" Is there any evidence? ”

Cai Yong shook his head and said: "The cousin of the Son of Heaven is harmed, the matter is serious, and if someone reports it, he will not be imprisoned, unless there is evidence that he was not present that night." ”

"Evidence of an alibi?" Cai Yan frowned, if it was daytime, it would be easy to say, but at night, everyone was sleeping, how could there be evidence of an alibi.

Cai Yong saw his daughter's worried expression, and immediately said with a lenient voice: "Ah Xing, don't worry, Wen Yuan is the favorite general of Taishi Dong, as long as there is no evidence, he will come out of Tingwei Prison sooner or later." ”

Cai Yan still frowned and said: "But the streets and alleys are full of rumors, which is very bad for his reputation." ”

Cai Yong shook his head and sighed: "This is impossible, let's clear ourselves." ”

……

Coincidentally, in Situ's mansion, Wang Yun and his eldest son Wang Gai were also discussing Zhang Liao's affairs.

"Father," Wang Gai said in a deep voice: "Zhang Liao is Dong Zhuo's arm, if he can take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Liao this time, then his father's murder of Dong Zhuo will increase the chances of victory." ”

Wang Yun shook his head and said: "In the bloody case of the song and dance workshop, Zhang Wenyuan had no motive for the murder, most of them were wronged, and he was sent to Tingwei Prison for his father, just to suppress his arrogance, if he was killed in vain, it would be unreasonable." ”

"Father!" Seeing his father's opposition, Wang Gai couldn't help but hurriedly said: "The child serves by the side of the Son of Heaven, and he knows that the Son of Heaven is quite prejudiced against Zhang Liao, and if his father takes advantage of this to kill Zhang Liao, he will definitely be able to gain the trust of the Son of Heaven." ”

"How can you do false things because you like or dislike?" Wang Yun glanced at his eldest son, snorted displeasedly, and frowned again: "Do you know why the Son of Heaven doesn't like Zhang Wenyuan?" ”

Wang Gai groaned: "The child has a slight guess, or because of Zhang Liao's capture of Tang Ji, the Son of Heaven once lamented that the sister-in-law was not in the hands of the wicked. ”

When Wang Yun heard this, he snorted angrily: "Zhang Wenyuan doesn't respect the law of etiquette, he messes up his dignity and humility, and if he does this disobedient thing, the Son of Heaven will blame him, and it is a matter of course." ”

Wang Gai saw his father accusing Zhang Liao, and took the opportunity to say: "Father, except for Zhang Liao, it is not only the ear of the Son of Heaven, but also the righteousness of the world." ”

Wang Yun glanced at him and said, "How to do the justice of the world?" ”
