Chapter 528: Zhang's father and son are dead
"Zhang's father and son are all dead!" Li Xiu couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news brought by Xu Jingzong, and his body couldn't help but stand up suddenly, this news was too shocking, because he had forced Zhang's father and son to leave Chang'an before, but today came the news of Zhang's father and son's death, which is not a good thing for Li Xiu, and even if someone investigates, he may be found, and in the end, if he is brought out again, it will be even worse.

"Guogong, don't be impatient, Zhang Yue's death of his father and son is full of strangeness, so please listen to Guogong and finish his words!" As soon as he saw Li Xiu, he told the news of the death of Zhang's father and son, but he still knew a lot of hidden secrets about the death of Zhang's father and son.
"You say!" Li Xiu also forced himself to calm down at this time, and then sat down slowly.
"Since the last Guogong ordered, Xiaguan has been urging Zhang Yue to leave Chang'an, although Zhang Yue is unwilling, but he does not dare to disobey, obediently resigned to pack his things, and then left Chang'an with his family, Xiaguan has also been sending people to watch, but not long after Zhang Yue left Chang'an, there was a sudden news of the death of Zhang's father and son, it is said that their father and son were frightened on the road because of the horses in the carriage, which caused the carriage to fall off the cliff and die." Xu Jingzong opened his mouth to report again, and while saying that he was still observing Li Xiu's expression changes, although it was hard to believe, but the death of Zhang's father and son, the most suspicious was Li Xiu.
"What do you know about a frightened horse?" Li Xiu sneered when he heard this, he didn't believe that the death of Zhang's father and son was an accident, but felt that this matter was very likely to be a conspiracy, or even aimed at himself, after all, he was the one who forced Zhang's father and son to leave Chang'an, and he also had reason to have the strength to kill Zhang's father and son.
"This ......" I saw Xu Jingzong hesitate for a moment at this time, and then he said boldly, "Don't hide it from Guogong, Zhang's father and son did offend a lot of people before, but there is really reason to have strength, among the people who killed their father and son unconsciously, only Guogong is the only one, but the lower officials know that if Guogong wants to kill Zhang's father and son, he will not force them to leave Chang'an so troublesomely, so this matter is either aimed at Guogong or a simple accident!" ”
"Accident? I don't think so, Zhang's father and son didn't die sooner or later, but they died just after leaving Chang'an, and they definitely won't have only one carriage when they leave Chang'an, but why did the carriage in which their father and son were riding be frightened and fell off the cliff, aren't these too coincidental? Li Xiu sneered at this time, in his heart, he had already decided that this matter must be aimed at him, and the unlucky Zhang father and son became the other party's pawns.
"Guogong, I said this matter just now is very strange, in addition to the above, there is another place that people can't figure out, and it is precisely because of this place that I don't think this matter is necessarily aimed at Guogong?" However, at this time, Xu Jingzong frowned again and said.
"Oh? Why? Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Xu Jingzong in surprise when he heard this.
"Guogong must also know that if this matter is aimed at you, this news will definitely be spread by people with good intentions, so as to attract the attention of others, and even cause other people's arguments, and the more noisy it is, the stronger the power that will erupt in the future, but the Zhang father and son have been dead for several days, but few people know about this matter, if it weren't for the fact that I have been paying attention to the movements of their father and son, I'm afraid I don't know about this matter now!" Xu Jingzong also expressed his doubts at the moment.
"How is this possible, Zhang Yue is also an official of the imperial court, although his grade is not high, but he also has real power, plus he suddenly resigned from office, and now he is dying on the road, it will definitely attract the attention of some people, how can no one know?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised at this time, in this way, this matter is indeed very abnormal.
"What Guogong said is very true, and the lower officials also think so, so they also deliberately asked people to inquire in the market, and found that almost no one paid attention to the death of Zhang's father and son, but some people discussed Zhang Yue's sudden resignation and return to his hometown, which is a bit abnormal!" Xu Jingzong blinked at this time and said.
"You mean that someone is secretly suppressing the death of Zhang's father and son?" Li Xiu was not surprised at this time, but shocked, because he had the ability to suppress a matter of human life, and this energy was not something that ordinary people, or even ordinary officials, could have.
"Yes, Xia Guan is even guessing that besides you, there are people who want the Zhang family and his son to die, such as ...... General Ma? When Xu Jingzong said the end, he couldn't help but lower his voice and said, in addition to Li Xiu, there was also a Ma Ye who went to Zhang's house that day, although they were in a group, but Xu Jingzong knew that the energy that Ma Ye could use was not smaller than Li Xiu, and that hater was Ma Ye's niece, so it was difficult to guarantee that he would not kill him.
"Absolutely not, Uncle Ma is not that kind of person, although Zhang's father and son offended Uncle Ma, but the crime does not lead to death, Uncle Ma is a person with clear grievances, he will never kill people so easily, and if he kills Zhang's father and son, he may be implicated in hatred, which Uncle Ma will never allow, and Uncle Ma can still distinguish this!" Li Xiu shook his head firmly when he heard this, in addition to the above reasons, he firmly believed that Ma Ye would not hide himself from killing Zhang's father and son.
"Guogong, what you said is also reasonable, if it wasn't for General Ma to do this, then it may be that the Zhang family and his son offended other powerful people, so they ended up like this!" Xu Jingzong nodded after hearing this, but he still had some doubts in his heart, because as far as he knew, although the Zhang father and son had some enemies, except for Li Xiu and Ma Ye, they had not offended the powerful and powerful.
Li Xiu pondered again for a while when he heard this, and finally spoke: "You don't have to worry about this matter for the time being, I'll go find someone to find out the news, as long as someone does it, it will definitely leave some clues!" ”
"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!" Xu Jingzong immediately agreed, in order to climb Li Xiu's big backer, he naturally obeyed Li Xiu's words, and even did not hesitate to help Li Xiu run errands, in exchange for Li Xiu's trust and recommendation.
Speaking of Xu Jingzong, it is indeed very hard, when Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, Xu Jingzong, Fang Xuanling and others were known as the "Eighteen Bachelors of Qin Wangfu", but after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Fang Xuanling and others were all reused, but he was forgotten by Li Shimin, and he was still in his original position, without the slightest intention of promotion, and he didn't dare to blame Li Shimin, so he could only desperately find a way to climb up, but Li Xiu is his biggest hope now.
"By the way, Xu Hucao, you are an old man in the Qin Palace, and now Your Majesty is on the occasion of employing people, and it is also the time for Xu Hucao to show your ambitions, so I think Xu Hucao you also have to share more for Your Majesty!" Li Xiu naturally knew the reason why Xu Jingzong followed him, and now that the other party had done so many things for him, he naturally needed to give some rewards, so he also deliberately said at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Li Xiu's obvious words, Xu Jingzong was immediately shocked, and then he saluted excitedly: "What the Duke of Guo said is extremely true, and the lower officials have always wanted to be loyal to His Majesty, but the lower officials' abilities are limited, and they really can't enter His Majesty's eyes, so if they want to be loyal, there is no way!" ”
"Haha! Xu Hu Cao is too polite, when His Majesty was able to recruit you into the Qin Palace, he naturally took a fancy to your talent, as for now, although he has not been appointed for the time being, it is estimated that he has other plans, and wants to put you in a suitable position, if Xu Hu Cao does not dislike it, I can help you mention it to Your Majesty if I have the opportunity! Li Xiu said again with a smile.
"Thank you for the appreciation of the Duke of the Kingdom, if he is reused by His Majesty, he will be the head of the Duke of the Kingdom!" Xu Jingzong did not shy away from saying at this time, and even his words were already very explicit, which also made Li Xiu frown, although everyone in the officialdom is human, but it is still rare to see a naked and shameless person like Xu Jingzong, even if he wants to cling to himself, few people are as straightforward and anxious as he is, no wonder Li Shimin does not care about him.
"Hehe, Xu Hu Cao Yan is serious, we are all officials in the same dynasty, and we should take care of each other!" Although Li Xiu didn't like it in his heart, he still smiled and said, but although he promised to help Xu Jingzong speak, with his temper, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Li Shimin to reuse him immediately.
After the matter was discussed, Xu Jingzong also got Li Xiu's promise, and he was satisfied with Li Xiu's farewell, in order to show his attention, Li Xiu also personally sent him out of the door, which made Xu Jingzong even more happy, and when he left, he bowed to Li Xiu again and thanked him for his kindness, without the slightest hint of the spirit of a scholar, which made Li Xiu secretly shake his head.
Sent Xu Jingzong away, Li Xiu thought of the cause of death of Zhang's father and son, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, and finally simply came to the small courtyard where Ma Ye lived.
"Boy, you're here just in time, how about you look at the clothes that Ha'er made for me?" As soon as Li Xiu entered Ma Ye's room, he immediately saw him standing in the room in new clothes, and asked him with his chest and belly.
"The clothes are good, when did the female red who hated her son be so good?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the clothes on Ma Ye's body, she grew up with Ma Yi since she was a child, and no one had taught her to be a female celebrity at all, so the foundation in this area was very poor, even if Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang taught her hand in hand, her female celebrity was still not very good, and the clothes she made for Ma Ye last time were simply miserable.
However, Ma Ye smiled at this time, and did not answer Li Xiu's question, but asked him why he came to find himself, and Li Xiu also told the death of Zhang's father and son, but Ma Ye smiled after hearing it: "You don't need to check this matter, I know who did it!" ”
