When I was young, everyone went to the side hall, but I saw that this hall was two feet high, and it was brilliant everywhere, and the hall could accommodate hundreds of people. The hall is surrounded by pond water, jade steps and beams, the altar is made of grained stones, the walls are decorated with colorful paintings, and the golden pillars are carved with beautiful figures.

Ma Zongheng had long heard that Liu Hong was poor and extravagant, but now that he has seen it, he can be regarded as knowledge. The single side hall is so extravagant, I don't know how many people's fat and people's ointment were used to cover it.

At this moment, Zhang Rang's cry sounded, and everyone heard the words 'Your Majesty has arrived', and they knelt down to worship. Liu Hong was wearing a dragon robe, strode in, suddenly smelled a burst of blood, almost vomited, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Ma Zongheng, covered in blood, frowned and asked, "Who is this person!?" ”

Zhang Rang recognized Ma Zongheng and immediately whispered in Liu Hong's ear. When Liu Hong heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he shouted angrily: "It's you who killed my minister!?" ”

Ma Zongheng's heart tightened, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw Liu Hong, who was pale and energetic, and replied anxiously: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, it is true!" ”

Before Ma Zongheng finished speaking, Liu Hong was furious and shouted: "Come on, drag this person out and behead him!" ”

As soon as Liu Hong said this, the guards outside the hall rushed in. Whether it was Zhang Rang's eunuchs or the faction of relatives led by He Jin, they all chose to watch coldly. Among them, Yuan Shu even looked sideways and sneered. Ma Zongheng looked at Cao Cao, and when he saw that he didn't move, he was willing to be restrained, and shouted: "Your Majesty, slow down!" Cao Mengde has the account book of Jian Huangmen's corruption in recent years, as well as the impeachment documents of Liu Jingzhou, why don't you look at it first and let Weichen die clearly!? ”

The horses shouted together, like a bell ringing. As soon as those guards arrived, suddenly Liu Hong shouted coldly: "Slow! ”

The guards obeyed the order, and they hurriedly stopped, stepped aside and waited. Liu Hong glanced at Ma Zongheng coldly, then flicked his sleeves and walked forward. After a while, Liu Hong sat on the high seat of the main hall, looked down on the ministers, fixed his eyes on Cao Cao, and said, "Meng De, do you really have Jingsheng's documents on you?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he raised his head, hurriedly took out the letter and the account book, and said: "Weichen is afraid of disturbing His Majesty, so he failed to deliver it in time, and I ask His Majesty to forgive him." ”

When Liu Hong heard this, it was so, and when he saw Cao Cao take out the real thing, his face turned a little colder. Zhao Zhong hurriedly rushed down, took the documents and account books and handed them to Liu Hong. Liu Hong took the document first, opened the letter and looked at it, saw the handwriting on the letter, and said with a little surprise: "Sure enough, it is Jingsheng's handwriting." ”

Then Liu Hong began to look carefully, for a while, his expression changed, it seemed that because of anger, even his pale face turned red, and after reading the letter, he shook it casually, and hurriedly grabbed the account book to see, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. After a while, Liu Hong looked at the account book, threw it at Zhao Zhong next to him, and shouted angrily: "Jian Shuo, this eunuch, dares to be so lawless, not only forcibly levies taxes, but also dares to ask his subordinates for 'filial piety money', so that everyone has to persecute the people, no wonder the people in this world will be full of grievances, and the people of the Han Dynasty are eager for the emperor to die as soon as possible!! Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, you and others are the heads of the permanent servants, don't you two know what to do!? ”

Zhang Rang, who was serving beside him, was so frightened that he hurriedly fell down the steps, knelt on the ground, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the old slave really doesn't know." ”

And Zhao Zhong, who was smashed just now, hurriedly fell to the bottom of the stairs and knelt down, kowtowed: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry." Since Jian Shuo grasped the power in the palace, he rarely looked at the two old minions of us, and our brothers were helpless. ”

"Humph!" Liu Hong snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Ma Zongheng and asked, "What is going on tonight?" ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he briefly told Niu Qiang when he came to Luoyang, and later met Wenxiu, and then Niu Qiang disguised himself as a horse thief to kill and rob, and Jian Shuo briefly told him about his forced stay in the palace tonight. As for the people in the hall, they all seemed to have their own thoughts, but they did not interrupt the horses.

Jian Huangmen suddenly attacked, and wanted to take the life of Weichen, and said that he could convict Weichen. Weichen had no choice but to resist, kill the bloody road, and then implore His Majesty to uphold justice. How do you know that Jian Huangmen ordered the soldiers to surround him, vowing to kill Wei Chen, and later fought with Wei Chen, Wei Chen struggled to break one of his arms, Jian Huang Men was finally hit by his own subordinates and died. ”

Ma Zongheng said slowly, the more Liu Hong listened, the more surprised he became, after listening to it, he frowned and asked: "You mean, you single-handedly fought with Jian Shuo's eunuch and his henchmen for nearly an hour, but not only was not killed by everyone, but killed Jian Shuo's eunuch!?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare to deceive!" Ma Zongheng's face froze, and he replied with emotion. Liu Hong saw that he was covered in blood, burly, and his eyes were clear and sharp, and he looked at him for a while, so he believed it and exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the queen of the gate, Ma Fubo, who shocked the Huns in the past, and there are successors!" ”

As soon as Liu Hong's voice fell, He Jin suddenly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I see that this horse is young and young, and there is more unparalleled courage in the world, and it is also the famous Ma Fubo. ”

Liu Hong was obedient, and after muttering for a while, he bowed his head slightly, and responded: "What the general said is reasonable. It's just that there are still many things that have not been dealt with tonight, and when they are clear, I will reward them one by one. Xia Yun, you can take him down to the Imperial Doctor for some treatment. ”

As soon as Liu Hong's voice fell, Xia Yun, one of the regular attendants, was busy receiving the order. At this moment, Yuan Shu suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty is slow!" Weichen heard that there was turmoil today, and it started with the fire in the Qilong Mansion first, and most of the palace guards went to put out the fire, so the thieves took advantage of it. Ma Zongheng is a Qilong Order, if he has an affair with a thief, so what? ”

As soon as Yuan Shu said this, Liu Hong's face suddenly changed. Ma Zongheng's face was still pale, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, at that time, Weichen had already been called by Jian Huangmen, how could he have an affair with a thief?" ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he also felt reasonable, and it was when he hesitated. Cao Cao suddenly said: "Your Majesty, when Weichen pacified the thieves just now, he captured the thief leader Shi A." It's better to summon him in for interrogation, and the truth will be revealed in a single qiē. ”

Ma Zongheng was obedient, his heart couldn't help jumping, and he was secretly annoyed: "This Cao Mengde is a talented person who clearly deliberately did not take out the documents and account books, and now he wants to help me in the open, but in the secret he is afraid that he has evil intentions." Hmph, I'm going to write it down! ”

Ma Zongheng can only pray that Shi A will not betray himself, otherwise he may not escape death tonight.

Just as Ma Zongheng was thinking, at this time, Liu Hong had already taught Xia Yun to summon him out of the hall. Suddenly, Shi A, who was tied up by five flowers, was escorted in by two guards. When Liu Hong saw Shi A, his face was shocked, and he asked: "Shi A, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, why are you willing to become a thief and cause trouble to the court!?" ”

"Hahahaha~~!! But I want to ask Your Majesty, the eunuch party has plagued the dynasty for many years, and has done many evils, and the people of the world hate it, and a few years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out because of this! Why is it that His Majesty has not woken up to this day, and ordered the elimination of the eunuch party and the restoration of peace in the world!? Shi Ah was obedient, but he laughed madly.

"You!!" Liu Hong's eyes widened, trembling with anger, but he couldn't hold back, and said coldly: "You planned this matter alone?" If you are willing to confess your accomplices!? I may be able to get a light hairbreak! ”

Shi Ah knew that he would definitely die, how could he fall for the plan, but he found Ma Zongheng, his expression changed slightly, and he replied: "The big husband stands up to the sky, and one person does things and one person does things!" I just hate that I can't kill all the eunuchs, and if I want to kill it, I want to kill it! ! ”

As soon as Shi A's words fell, the expressions of many people in the hall changed. Among them, Ma's heart was finally let go, and he secretly felt sorry for Shi A.

Liu Hong saw Shi Atan's frankness, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, he had really executed too many loyal ministers over the years, or people were about to die, Liu Hong recalled all kinds of things in the past six months, and he also regretted it.

For a while, in the face of Shi A, who was dying, Liu Hong was not angry, but responded silently.

At this time, He Jin secretly cast a look at Cao Cao, who had always been astute. Cao Cao understood, and suddenly opened his mouth to say, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what to say." ”

"Eh, what else can't be said now? Go ahead! Liu Hong let out a long breath and waved his hand.

Cao Cao arched his hand and replied: "When Shi Caichen was eradicating the thieves, he found that under a deserted palace in the northeast, there was an underground secret room, which extended in all directions, like a labyrinth, and if you were not careful, you would get lost. In the main hall, there is a platform, and there is a huge alchemy furnace on the platform, but the most incredible thing is that the atmosphere there is extremely eerie and terrifying, and there are countless iron cages, and the iron cages actually contain a large living person. Moreover, Wei Chen found that there were many death row prisoners inside, and learned from them that they had been driven here as slaves all these years, and they also said that the living people in the iron cages were all used as alchemy materials! Over the years, at least thousands of people have lost their lives, many of them as young children!! ”

As Cao Cao's words continued to speak, Liu Hong's whole body trembled more and more, and Zhao Zhong, who was kneeling in front of him, trembled even more, and as for Zhang Zhang, he seemed to be stiff and did not move at all.

He Jin saw that Liu Hong was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his heart was full of joy, thinking that as long as he wiped out these eunuchs tonight, he would cover the sky in the imperial court in the future. When Cao Cao was about to answer, suddenly Yuan Shu preemptively said: "Also, the ministers found that there were hundreds of guards and eunuchs in this secret room. According to the death row inmates, this secret room is secretly controlled by the ten permanent servants headed by Zhang and Zhao, and there is a group of alchemists under his command, who have been doing all kinds of things that hurt the heavens and the peace in order to find the art of immortality over the years!! ”

"Slander~~!! The minion has never heard of this, His Majesty is slandering the minion, you must not be trusted!! ”

Zhao Zhong, who had been trembling, listened to Yuan Shu's words, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted to Liu Hong with a little crying.
