Volume 3 The Storm of the Two Capitals 45
Bo waited for the emperor to summon outside the Danfeng Gate of Daxing Palace in the afternoon, left and right did not have the original Li Lin's painting of Zhou Xuan, forgot to announce his audience, until Wei Bo did not know that the emperor drove to Guozijian, so he hurried to Guozijian, a feudal town into Beijing, not immediately to see the emperor, it is easy to be criticized, Wei Bo was the night before yesterday to Jinling.
Li ordered the white eunuch Xuanzhen Nanjiedu to make Wei Bo meet him, and said to Zhou Xuan: "When I return to the palace, think about it, this Abu must be rewarded." β
Zhou Xuan was afraid that Li didn't consider giving Ah and an official, if he rewarded other things, such as land, commercial privileges or something, at that time the will had been made, and it would be difficult to redeem it, Wei Bo was really not a thing, he would not come sooner or later, so he immediately hurried up and said: "Your Majesty, the nephew thinks that the name of rewarding Abu is not appropriate, the real person is nothing more than wealth and the like, and it cannot play the role of educating the people, and the name is easy to spread, so that the people of the Tang Kingdom know the patriotic deeds of Abu Zhongjun, and the ministers and nephews dare to guarantee that there will be a large number of wealthy people who will enthusiastically donate silverββ"
Wei Bo came so fast, before Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he appeared at the door of the lecture hall, hurriedly took a few steps, bowed to the ground, and shouted: "Long live my emperor Wei Bo!" β
Dali Temple once reported Wei Jue's death to Li, after all, the death of the eldest son of a feudal town is a major event, Li ordered a strict investigation, and the woman named Ning must be caught, at this time when he saw Wei Bo, he put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Wei Aiqing is flat, left and right, look at the seat." β
Before Wei Bo took his seat, he made a look at Li Jian and Qi Zhang respectively, and saw Zhou Xuan's face. But when he came in just now, he saw Zhou Xuan talking in front of the emperor, he should be a newly promoted favorite minister, and he immediately made a gesture to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan smiled and bowed his hand, and the enemy met with great courtesy.
Wei Bo sat down and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, please forgive your Majesty for the crime of entering Beijing without waiting for the summons." β
Li Wenyan said: "Wei Aiqing, I already know about the murder of Ling Lang, and I have strictly ordered Dali Temple to investigate. The 36 states of the Tang Kingdom have all received the documents for the arrest of the murderer, and the murderer will definitely be caught. β
Wei Bo said sadly: "Your Majesty, the minister is over fifty years old. There is only one son, and there is nothing more tragic in the world than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, and the minister is grief-stricken and vows to avenge the deceased. Please allow your majesty to personally pursue the murderer. β
This Wei Bo's body shape and appearance are similar to those of his son Wei Jue, both of whom are slender and long, with long slender necks, bulging eyes, and wide palms. It's just that Wei Bo is older.
Zhou Xuanxin said: "Your son will kill himself if he commits many injustices, if it weren't for the big life of his buddy, he would have been killed by your father and son." Qin Que and Needle have become widows. To whom to redress grievances and cry out? This old guy has to hunt down the murderer himself. What does he want to do? β
Li asked: "How can Wei Aiqing personally pursue the murderer?" β
Wei Bo said: "Please send a decree from Your Majesty to allow the ministers to search some suspicious places in Jinling City. The minister is grateful. β
Li Jian immediately objected: "Father, the state has national law, and it is the duty of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to take charge of the criminal prison and arrest the murderer. The pain of Wei Du's loss of his son is pitiful, but it is against the law of the country to chase the murderer in person, and it is even more inappropriate to search Jinling City, which will inevitably cause panic in people's hearts. β
Wei Bo hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness has taught you a lesson, the minister is too sad to come out with such faint words, please forgive your Majesty, the minister has only one request, the minister only wants to search a place, please Your Majesty's permission." β
"Oh?" Li asked, "What kind of place is Wei Aiqing going to search?" β
Wei Bo's eyes bulged and he said four words: "Fenghua Military Residence." β
Zhou Xuan sneered slightly on the side.
Li Qi said: "Could it be that the murderer is hiding in the Fenghua Military Residence?" β
Wei Bo already knew that Zhou Xuan was now the Marquis of Xinzhou, and he was not so easy to bully, but the hatred of killing his son was not shared, and he would definitely be able to find out Zhou Xuan to pay for his son's life, he thought that Zhou Xuan had bought the falcon slut, and said: "The minister does know who the murderer is, but Dali Temple is hindered by the identity of the murderer and does not dare to arrest him." β
"Who's the murderer?" Li asked urgently.
Wei Bo said loudly: "It's Xinzhou Hou Zhouxuan!" β
Li Wo silkworm frowned, and did not look at Zhou Xuan in surprise, the king of a country, there is still such a calmness, and asked: "Does Wei Aiqing have evidence?" β
Wei Bo nodded and said: "Yes, Zhou Xuan and his courtier Wei Jue have old grudges, and when they met again in Jinling this time, they hired a murderer to kill my son." β
Li asked, "What are the old grudges?" β
Wei Bo said that Zhou Xuan and Wei Jue gambled on poetry, took advantage of it, and kidnapped the sheep Xiaofeng, Li had heard Zhou Xuan say this last time, but he didn't expect that it was the prostitute of the Wei Mansion who won, and said: "I have also heard about this matter, this matter is elegant and interesting in the literati, just a prostitute, it is not a grudge, right?" Could it be that Zhou Xuan won Yang Xiaofeng, but resented Ling Lang? β
Wei Bo was speechless, and said reluctantly: "At that time, the dog and that Zhou Xuan had some quarrels, it was to settle a grudge, and this time they met again in Jinling, and there was a conflict on the Qinhuai River, Zhou Xuan relied on himself to be a prince, domineering, my son Wei Jue was not convinced, and he disputed with him, he held a grudge, so he hired a murderer to kill my son, and was killed together with a Yu Hou and a garrison of the Zhennan Metropolitan Protectorate, it is not difficult to solve this case, as long as Zhou Xuan or his subordinates are arrested, the truth can be revealed with a little torture, and the tragedy will be over, and His Majesty will be hoped
Zhou Xuan on the side bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Rong Chen to ask Wei Duhu a few words." β
After getting Li Di's consent, Zhou Xuan said to Wei Bo: "Lord Wei, when did Ling Lang and Zhou Xuan clash on the Qinhuai River, can there be any witnesses?" β
Wei Bo had obviously done some verification, and replied: "It was on the 17th of last month, and there were a lot of witnesses, and dozens of people on the two painting boats can testify to it, including Chen Ji, the son of Hongzhou Thorn History, which can prove that the dog had a conflict with Zhou Xuan that night. β
Zhou Xuan asked: "Is Zhou Xuan so arrogant because he is the prince?" How dare you clash with the prince of the feudal town? β
Wei Bodao: "Exactly, this person has always been domineering, and after being named the marquis, he was even more domineering, and Jinling City already had the nickname of Zhou Bawang." β
Zhou Xuan scolded in his heart: "Your mother also fabricated a nickname for Lao Tzu!" He said with a smile on his face: "Wei Duhu said that on the seventeenth day of last month, Zhou Xuan relied on his respect as a prince and bullied Wei Jue. However, as far as I know, Zhou Xuan's acceptance of the marquis was on the 19th of last month, could it be that he knew in advance that he was going to be made a marquis, so he became arrogant in advance? β
When Wei Bo heard that something was wrong, he looked Zhou Xuan up and down, and asked, "Haven't you asked your Excellency for your name?" β
Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Below is the arrogant and domineering 'Zhou Overlord' Zhou Xuan. β
"Ahh Wei Bo almost fell to the ground from the chair, and after talking for a long time, the enemy was in front of him, glaring at Zhou Xuan viciously. Zhou Xuan glanced at him contemptuously, not caring at all.
Wei Bo knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister came from Hongzhou, and he was sad and miserable. There may be a delay in speaking, but there was indeed a conflict between Zhou Xuan and my son Wei Jue that night, and His Majesty can ask for evidence. β
Li saw that Wei Bo insisted that Zhou Xuan was a murderer, and the so-called evidence was reversed. was quite displeased, thinking that he was a feudal town, and he was a new mourner of his beloved son, so he was not to blame. said: "This case has its own criminal department and Dali Temple for trial, Wei Aiqing doesn't need to be too anxious, Xinzhou Houdi's character is well known." Fill in the 'West Wind withered the trees last night. Alone in the tall building. Looking at the end of the world's good sentence, Wei Aiqing should not listen to the slander of others. β
Webb knelt there and craned his neck. The big Adam's apple slid up and down, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it must be Zhou Xuan who instructed his subordinates to kill my son, just arrest his subordinates and interrogate them to know the truth, Your Majesty, Nianchen has been guarding the southwest for many years, please avenge this strange grievance for the minister." β
Zhou Xuan knew that Li had soft ears, and maybe he would agree to Wei Bo's request, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister is by no means the overlord of Zhou, the minister is gentle and generous, and there are some things that the minister is unwilling to say, but since Wei Duhu is bent on blaming the minister for his son's death, the minister has to say that the minister does have a deep hatred with Wei Jueββ"
Li "oh" said: "Xinzhou Hou said it carefully." β
Zhou Xuan said that when he was in Hongzhou, Wei Jue first sent the ruffian Song Wu to threaten him, and later sent soldiers to pretend to be a bandit in Guiya Mountain to kill him. Uncle Lin was going to ask the Zhennan Army for the sake of the minister, it was for the sake of the people of the two states, and he didn't want the two feudal towns to grudge, but Wei Jue still refused to let go of the minister, and when they met on the Qinhuai River last month, they clamored for the minister to return Yang Xiaoqi, otherwise he would kill the minister. β
Li nodded slightly, what Zhou Xuan said was reasonable and well-founded, it seemed that it was not Zhou Xuan who hated Wei Jue, but Wei Jue hated Zhou Xuan, but it was Wei Jue who died, could it be-
I only heard Zhou Xuan say: "Many people know that there is a gap between the minister and Wei Jue, as soon as Wei Jue dies, the minister is vigilant, afraid of being suspected, but I didn't expect Wei Du to indiscriminately insist that it was the minister's doing, and the minister never recognized that Ning!" β
Li Jian said: "The murderer Ning has fled to Yizhou, and is currently stepping up the pursuit, it is said that Ning is a native of Zhennan Duhufu, someone has seen this woman appear with Yu Hou of the Zhennan Army, it is not difficult to know whether this is true or false, call the people from the Zhennan Military Mansion to know." β
Wei Bo knew that something was wrong, and Ning's relationship was greatly worse when it was pulled out, and shouted: "This female assassin must have been instructed by Zhou Xuan to kill my son, I hope Your Majesty will find out." β
Zhou Xuan said coldly: "I only ask you, is that Ning my Zhou Xuan's person or hired by your Zhennan Army?" β
Wei Bo didn't dare to deny that Ning had no contact with the Zhennan Army, so he said: "I don't know who Ning is, but even if it is someone from my Zhennan Army, it was sent by you Zhou Xuan to lurk. β
Zhou Xuan spread his hands and said to Li: "Your Majesty, Wei Duhu is so upside down that the minister has nothing to say." β
Li Buyue said: "Wei Qing, since you know that the murderer is Ning, why do you still want to climb the Marquis of Xinzhou, everything will be talked about when Ning is caught." β
Zhou Xuan retorted and said: "Wei Duhu is most afraid of catching Ning, he has now ordered the Zhennan Army to catch Ning at all costs, and he will be executed immediately as soon as he is caught, and he will never dare to leave a living mouth, not to avenge his son, but to kill people." β
Wei Bozheng was weak in heart for this, and shouted: "You are spewing blood!" β
Zhou Xuan paced while talking like a river
"Your Majesty, because the minister is afraid of being suspected, he also wants to find out the identity of the person who killed Wei Chen's dispatch as soon as possible, and he found out that the female assassin is from the Southern Han Falcon, and she is a female killer who specializes in assassination!"
Li naturally knew about the Falcon Gate. I couldn't help but glance at Wei Bo suspiciously.
Wei Bo's original intention to meet the emperor was to sue Zhou Xuan in front of Li, and asked Li for permission to search the Fenghua Military Residence. β
Zhou Xuan said: "Well, I really don't know, there is no conclusive evidence, but Wei Duhu must know." What was the purpose of Wei Duhu's acquaintance with the Southern Han Humen? Why did this female assassin of the Falcon Gate kill Wei Jue instead? Could it be that there is a disagreement on something that has not been discussed? If you have something to say, why kill people! β
Wei Bo was angry and shouted, "Ning was bought by you!" β
Zhou Xuanli ignored him. Looking at Emperor Li, his face smiled bitterly.
Li was very tired of Wei Bo messing around like this, this seemed to be a feudal town, and it seemed that the Zhennan army had become acquainted with the Falcon Gate. This made Li very displeased, and said: "Wei Qing should not return to Hongzhou for the time being, stay in Beijing and wait for the truth of this case to be revealed." β
Wei Bo's heart suddenly cooled in half, and Zhou Xuan didn't knock it down. On the contrary, he himself got in, and when he left Hongzhou, he was like a dragon swimming in the shallows and a tiger falling in Pingyang. I can't do it if I have the ability. The priority now is not to avenge the Son. It's about how to get out of Beijing as soon as possible and return to Hongzhou.
Wei Bo deeply regretted his recklessness. I didn't expect Zhou Xuan to be so cunning, the emperor and the East Palace were obviously biased towards Zhou Xuan, Wei Bo was very frustrated, and he couldn't think about it, only by waiting for King Jing to come back, King Jing would definitely be able to deal with Zhou Xuan.
As for Ning, Wei Bo was not worried, the Falcon Gate Master promised him that he would definitely catch Ning and give him an explanation, and would not let her fall into the hands of the Tang State Arrest Division.
Li became very cold to Wei Bo all of a sudden, originally the feudal town entered Beijing, and the emperor wanted to give a banquet or something, but he didn't mention it now, and drove back to the palace, and ordered Abu to wait for the order in the Fenghua Military Mansion tomorrow to listen to the reward.
Zhou Xuan returned to the shore of Mochou Lake, and told Judge Fan and Lin Heishan what happened in Guozijian, Lin Heishan knew the real cause of Wei Jue's death, and he said in front of Judge Fan: "Wei Jue died at the hands of the Humen people, but Wei Bo must rely on Brother Xuan, this feud cannot be resolved, only by getting rid of Wei Bo with hot hands, this will never be troubled." β
Zhou Xuandao: "It is not so easy to cure Wei Bo's crime, and soon Li Kun will come back, only while Wei Bo is in Beijing, we will secretly send people to Hongzhou to collect evidence of his friendship with the Southern Han, I estimate that Wei Bo is not only a friend of the Falcon Gate, but also has dealings with Liu Jixing of the Southern Han Dynasty, and if you find that evidence, you can convict Wei Bo." β
Lin Heishan said: "Then I will go to Hongzhou to verify this matter." β
Zhou Xuan was overjoyed: "Brother Montenegro is going, that's the best, tomorrow I ask Li Jian to ask the emperor for a secret decree, you go with the secret decree, with Chen Tingshi to cooperate with you, you will definitely be able to find evidence of Wei Bo's death." β
Judge Fan took out two letters and sent them to Zhou Xuan: "Master Hou, this is a letter from the two ladies of Lord Hou to you, and I will arrive on the ground early in the morning." β
Zhou Xuan was very happy, took the letter back to his residence, and called Xiaoxiang and Yang Xiaofeng to read the letter together.
Qin Que's letter first told about her husband's longing, hoping that her husband would return to Jiangzhou to pick them up as soon as possible, and said that her parents did not want to move to Jinling, so they had to wait for her husband to come back to persuade her, and then said that Yang Xiaofeng had been disturbed for many days, and they thought that Yang Xiaofeng had secretly run back to Hongzhou, and finally, Qin Que said that she and the needle were not by her husband's side, and it was not bad to have Yang Xiaofeng to take care of her husband.
Zhou Xuan smiled and showed the letter to Yang Xiaofeng, and Yang Xiaofeng's face was flushed.
Needle letter said about "Yunshang Women's Clothing", of course, the most talked about is the fetus in the womb, saying that the father-in-law and the finch said that it might be a female fetus, and asked the husband if he liked to have a daughter first? The last needle ends with a Southern Dynasty folk song - "Su used to not comb his hair, and his silk hair was draped over his shoulders." Wrist stretching out on the lap, where is not pity? β
Zhou Xuan smiled, the two little wives were hearty and gentle, they were all cute.
The fourth idiot came over and said, "Master, the fifth brother is going to Hangzhou, and I will send him out of the city." β
Zhou Xuan said: "Your fifth brother is also my fifth brother, let's send him together." β
The three brothers of the Xu family heard that the master of the five aggregates, who was proficient in the way of chickens, was going to leave, and they wanted to follow the master, and they wanted to follow the master until they reached the city gate and refused to leave, so they couldn't persuade them.
The five idiots said: "That's it, I'll give you three brothers a copy of "Famous Chicken Book", you practice according to it, you will definitely be better than the little monk, remember, don't read it now, wait until you return to your residence to see it." β
The three brothers returned to Mochou Lake with a book, the three heads touched together, and carefully opened the page to see that it was not a famous chicken genealogy, but a famous prostitute genealogy.
