Chapter 178: Turning the Clouds and Rain (2)

When Liu Gouwa was still full of joyful fantasies, Liu Zhiyuan asked again: "Yes, what about your aunt?" When I returned to Luoyang Stone City to look for you, I found that you two had already left Stone City, and I couldn't find you everywhere. ”

"Auntie? Stone City? Liu Gouwa has never seen her predecessor's mother, her predecessor was just an orphan abandoned in the Lin family's winehouse, and now it is the first time I have heard that there is a stone city in Luoyang, and I can't help but whisper.

"What's the matter, isn't your aunt here? Can't even remember where you were born? Oh yes, how did you get to Songcheng? Liu Zhiyuan saw Liu Gouwa's confused appearance, and couldn't help but ask repeatedly.

It turned out that his predecessor was born in Luoyang Shicheng, but he didn't know how he was abandoned in the Lin Family Wine House in Xiao Song City, and after listening to Liu Zhiyuan's question, he couldn't help but say: "The child has been living in Xiao Song City since he was a child, and since he was sensible, he has never seen A-Niang, and I don't know where she is now." ”

"What, haven't you seen your aunt?" When Liu Zhiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but ask loudly, looking a little unbelievable.

"Yes, the child has never seen her, it is said that the child was an orphan who was abandoned in a wine cup, but fortunately the lord has a good heart and raised the child to grow up, so that he can become an adult." Liu Gouwa said truthfully.

"Then your aunt must have had an accident, alas, I don't know what happened to her, otherwise, she will definitely not ignore you." When Liu Zhiyuan heard this, he knew that Liu Gouwa's mother was probably more than lucky, so he couldn't help but tears in his eyes, and said regretfully, and then calmed down a little, and asked Liu Gouwa: "Then how did you get to Hutou Mountain later and be the owner of the village?" What kind of dog baby did you change your name, isn't it good for Lao Tzu to get a name for you? ”

"You named the child?" Liu Gouwa asked.

"Of course, don't you know that? Chengqian, Liu Chengqian, this is the name Lao Tzu gave you, it is a hundred times stronger than your dog baby, who gave you such a vulgar name? Liu Zhiyuan heard that Liu Gouwa didn't even know his name, so he couldn't help but say a little angrily.

"When A-Niang left the child in the wine cup, she did not leave the child's name, so the name of the child was temporarily taken by the wine cup shopkeeper." Liu Gouwa said.

Liu Gouwa, no, it should be called Liu Chengqian, he didn't know who his biological mother was, after recognizing Liu Zhiyuan, he thought he was a son, but Liu Zhiyuan told him that his biological mother was a palace maid in the palace of the former Tang Zhuangzong, when Liu Zhiyuan followed Li Siyuan into the palace, the two met by chance in the palace, fell in love at first sight, came and went, and soon, Liu Chengqian fell This person belongs to illegitimate children.

Liu Zhiyuan has a Zhengyin wife surnamed Li, and she is also a neighbor of Liu Zhiyuan's hometown in Jinyang, and gave birth to three sons to Liu Zhiyuan, the eldest son Liu Chengxun, the second son Liu Chengyou, and the third son Liu Chengxun.

Because Liu Chengqian is Liu Zhiyuan's illegitimate son, the people in Hutou Mountain in prison can not only eat well and live well, but they don't have to worry about cutting off their heads, but it is a difficult technical job to clear everyone's identities and unload the past crimes cleanly.

On the third day of Liu Chengqian and Liu Zhiyuan's acquaintance, Liu Chengqian had just finished breakfast, and saw Zhang Dongping with several officers and soldiers, escorting a person in, that person had messy hair, a dirty face, and drooped his head, seeing Liu Chengqian, he couldn't help but be stunned, Liu Chengqian was also stunned when he saw him, this is also an old acquaintance, and he can't be more familiar, it turned out to be Wang Fu who murdered himself in the state city before.

Zhang Dongping saw that Wang Fu was stunned, so he pushed him and shouted: "Don't hurry up to meet the second son." After speaking, Zhang Dongping took his sergeants and first gave Liu Chengqian a salute.

Wang Fu saw it, although he hesitated, but he still bowed to Liu Chengqian according to his words. After Zhang Dongping stood up, he said to Wang Fu: "Wang joins the army, when you served under Shi Weiyi before, have you ever seen the second son?" ”

"I've seen it, more than once." Wang Fu replied.

"At that time, when the second son was still an official in the state city, what was the official reputation and political performance of the second son?" Zhang Dongping asked again.

"The second son is an honest official, diligent and loves the people, conscientious, self-denial, and the cause of the case is clear and thorough, and no one is dissatisfied...... "Although Wang Fu's virtue as an official is not very good, he opens his mouth to make Liu Chengqian dizzy, and he can't imagine that his evaluation in Wang Fu's mouth has suddenly become so high, people can't believe it.

"Since the second son is such a good official, how did Shi Weiyi plot to kill the second son, and wanted to put the second son to death, forcing the second son to have no way out, so he had to defect to Hutou Mountain?" Zhang Dongping asked again.

"Since Shi Weiyi arrived in Songzhou, he formed a party for personal gain, was jealous of the virtuous and jealous, installed cronies, expropriated tyranny, occupied the Tongji Canal wharf, exploited past merchants, and privately withheld the taxes and silver handed over to the imperial court by various states and counties. Wang Fu said.

"Shi Weiyi's crime is too numerous to mention, is there still a crime of raising bandits that you haven't said?" Zhang Dongping looked at Wang Fu and asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the lower officials were confused for a while, looking at this matter, Shi Weiyi had ill intentions, in order to stay in the rich land of Songcheng for a long time, he still raised bandits in Crab Mountain, slaughtered and robbed Songcheng Prefecture and County, and made the people resentful." Wang Fu said according to Zhang Dongping's meaning.

"What else? I don't plan to talk about his collusion with the Tang State to rebel? Zhang Dongping asked with a gloomy smile.

"Yes, Shi Weiyi actually had secret correspondence with Tang Guo for a long time, plotting to rebel, but framed Hutou Mountain for colluding with Tang and Shu and plotting to rebel, but facts speak louder than words, now that the loyal and traitorous have been identified, Hutou Mountain has not colluded with Tang and Shu and participated in the rebellion from beginning to end." Wang Fu said.

The more Liu Chengqian listened, the more he didn't like it, Shi Weiyi colluded with the Tang State and plotted to rebel, there must be, but it is false to say that he framed Hutou Mountain for plotting to rebel, which is obviously to exonerate himself from Hutou Mountain and blame Shi Weiyi's rhythm.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the people who have not known what officials are in Hutoushan all their lives, now listen to Liu Zhiyuan's official wish, can clear their identities and be a new person, they are very moved, and they all look at themselves and look forward to their choices, especially the four-headed person Deng Ergou, it can be said that he looked at himself with bright eyes, hoping that he would agree immediately.
