Volume 2 Li Guang is difficult to seal Chapter 4 An Guohou?
The rumors in the market are not groundless, but from the mouth of someone with a heart, Weiyang Palace, Li Guangyi obtained the records of the entry and exit of Chang'an City under the management of Wei Wei for half a year, and also collected a lot of Wuyi rock tea from Liu Heng. Li Guang asked Shu Yue to pack a portion of the tea, ordered Li Chen to take it, and headed towards the Marquis of Anguo's mansion.
Wang Ling was originally a great Confucian in the Western Han Dynasty, and he was most interested in etiquette, and he was not as good at being flexible as Chen Ping. Li Guang went to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, but he didn't dare to leave empty-handed, so he had to use the looted rock tea as a stepping stone.
Anguo Hou's Mansion is far less big than Chen Ping's mansion, at this time Wang Ling died, there are many less carriages in front of the Hou Mansion, Li Guang reported in front of the door, and after a while, there was a housekeeper to usher in, Wang Ji was a few years older than Li Guang, but he never came in person, but just asked the housekeeper to take Li Guang to the front of the hall.
"The last general, Li Guang, has seen Master Hou." Although Wang Ji has not been sealed, the Marquis of An Guo is the capital of the ancestors, and it is a matter of time sooner or later.
"Li Bingcao, please take a seat." Wang Ji was in his own hall, but he was also on official business, although he had no official office, he gave Li Guang a seat. Although Wang Ji is dignified, he is addicted to wine every day, with a seven-foot figure and a thin silk robe hanging on his body, but it looks empty. His face was pale and bloodless, and he was weak even when he spoke. Although he is a few years older than Li Guangmiao, he is still vaguely visible between his temples.
"The last general came to Chang'an for the first time, and I have heard of the marquis's heroism for a long time, so I will prepare a special gift today and bring some Wuyi rock tea to visit." Li Guangyan was closed, Li Chen hurriedly offered the tea in his hand, and the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion took it and weighed it in his hand, seemingly displeased.
"Li Bingcao has a heart. This Wuyi rock tea is a thing in the palace, and when Yan's father was alive, it was not very rare at home, but even if it was a gift from Li Bingcao, Ben Hou would like to thank him. ”
Wang Ji's words did not follow the routine at all, so that Li Guang didn't know how to take over the conversation for a while. Fortunately, Wang Ji's words were faster than his thoughts, and Li Guang was still depressed, and Wang Ji's next sentence came.
"I heard that Li Bingcao was also knighted as the Marquis of Baideng, I don't know how many Baideng regions there are, and how many knights they are, so that this Marquis can meet in the future, and it will not be rude."
Li Guang really wants to leave at this moment, the lord of Bai Denghou, after all, he fought by himself, but he is not your hereditary marquis, although he was removed from the position of marquis, but he is also the brother of the new emperor, the lord has never been majestic in front of you, you are good, the marquis of An Guo is a first-class title, so what? Instead, he used it to ridicule the master.
I want to think about it, but Li Guang's words are not emotional, and in front of Wang Ji, he greatly admired Wang Ling and praised Wang Ji. The words smoothed out Wang Ji's temper, and this Wang Ji finally oozed a bleak smile on his face.
"Ben Hou just likes people like you, who knows how to respect and humble etiquette, and his words are sincere, although there are many lies, but they are also comfortable to listen to. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, everything has to be taken with three points of care, and people like you are the most suitable. ”
"Hou Ye smiled." Li Guang has more than three black lines on his face at this moment, and his entire face is black.
"Today should have invited you to drink, but Ben Hou has always been so cool, the court monthly, every month has bottomed out, if not, another appointment, Ben Hou in Xi'an Hotel banquet hospitality, by the way to introduce you to some Chang'an magnates and you know."
"Thank you Hou Ye for your kindness, but if Hou Ye is willing to condescend, he will be willing to invite Hou Ye to drink first, thank Hou Ye for his appreciation."
"That's very good, you and I are in the same car, let's go to Xi'an Hotel."
This Wang Ji's chariot and horse went very slowly, because every time Wang Ji passed through a house, he invited a person to go to the wine shop, and he was followed by seven or eight so-called second generations of officials, all of whom were addicted to the sound of dogs and horses.
"Little Er, Tianjia Pavilion is waiting." Although this Xi'an Hotel is Li Guang's property, Wang Ji is more familiar with it than Li Guang, and when he enters the door, he goes straight to the private room where Li Guang teased Lu Ze last time.
Everyone sat down one by one, and it was Li Guang's turn to leave only the lower position near the door curtain, Li Guang didn't care, sat at the bottom, and asked Xiao Er to bring the dishes he was good at, and the wine was only served.
"Master Hou, the last general has long heard that Master Hou has traveled more than 10,000 miles to study, and he has learned more than five cars, so I will give Master Hou a cup first."
"Okay, good, drink together, drink together." Wang Ji has good wine, and he is smiling. After three glasses of wine, he began to brag.
"I heard that Hou Ye once traveled to Jinan County, and when he once worshiped the saint, he will pay tribute to Hou Ye again."
"Study tour in Jinan County? Phew, that's just what Ben Hou was forced to go, but the mountains and springs there are beautiful. ”
"Why was Master Hou forced to say it?"
"My father pays the most attention to etiquette and religion, and he must go to the saint's hometown to worship in person every year, but my father was sick a year ago, so he had to go to Jinan County on behalf of my father. For months, I didn't drink any wine. ”
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Qi refuses to entertain? but it is too deceitful. ”
"The king of Qi is willing to drink and entertain, but Benhou is not familiar with the king of Qi, so he drinks with him."
"Drink and drink, don't talk about these irrelevant things, just drink." Li Guang talked too much, so much so that everyone disliked it, and some people rose up to stop him.
After drinking and talking, Li Guang sent Wang Ji to the carriage, and the gentleman left as soon as he dried up the wine and meat. It's just that Li Guang's heart hurts, and he gave up the best tea in vain, and also pasted some fine wine and food in vain. Wang Ji's words have no effect on the rumor case.
Wang Ji returned to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion drunk, but he was not drunk at all, just a sneer. The little soldier Cao, relying on his relationship with the new emperor, dared to explore the reality of Benhou? If you hadn't had the secret order of the Son of Heaven, Ben Hou would have taught someone to do your life a long time ago. But the soldier Cao Dao from this remote place also has some ability, and in less than half a month, he found Ben Hou, and it seems that he should quickly discuss countermeasures with Liu Ze, the king of Langya.
Things are like this, the people who do it know it, and the people who check it are full of clues, and it is difficult to sort it out. If it weren't for Chen Ping's deliberate reminder, I'm afraid that Li Guang would not have taken Wang Ji into his eyes in the end. The efficiency of Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen was very fast, and in half a month, he found out the details of the more than 40 people. There are more than 40 people, and only three people are left in the screening, which is very suspicious. Two of them were Liu Xiang's guards, and one was Liu Ze's brother-in-law. Although there is no clue about the whole rumor case, the general main line is still connected.
"Eighteen, what do you think, how should these three people be handled?"
"Young master, the identities of these three people are not simple, take them directly, I am afraid that the clues will be broken, so I can only find an opportunity to secretly arrest these three people."
"How do you get it covert?"
"We can pretend to be assassins and assassinate these three people in secret, until the case is revealed."
"Okay, according to your method, you must not leave any handle."
"Yes!"
Yan Yun rode away, and Li Guang was bored, so he flipped through the copywriting materials recorded by the cavalry guards when they investigated. Li Guang still felt that something was missing. Yes, the most important physical evidence is indeed missing, and even if the three of them admit to fabricating rumors, there is no direct evidence to show who is in charge behind the scenes!
Li Guang once again opened the record of the words of the three people, and after reading it, he couldn't help but secretly admire Chen Pinglai, who is old and refined, this Chen Ping is really old and spicy, just based on speculation, he guessed the mastermind behind the scenes. There is no other reason, Liu Xiang's personal guards, although they are disrespectful to Liu Heng in their words, they are all in line with everyone's words, but Liu Ze's wife and brother's words have the meaning of teasing everyone's words, although there is no obvious disrespect, but every sentence implies that Liu Heng's mother Bo was the concubine of King Wei.
In this way, the source of the rumors is basically clear, and the rumors that Liu Heng does not have the qualifications to inherit the unification are originally gossip, but the words that indicate that the Bo family is the concubine of the King of Wei are all from the mouth of someone with a heart. But if there is no real evidence, you can only punish the wife and brother of Liu Ze, the king of Langya, and it will not hurt Liu Ze in the slightest, who is the evidence of Liu Ze's guilt? That's the key.
