Body 794 Back Mountain
The furnishings in the thatched hut are very simple, divided into the inside and outside, except for a desk and a futon, there is nothing else, there are a few books on the desk, and a simple bookshelf is placed on the other side, which is all the outside of the whole thatched hut.
In the inner room, it was just as simple, with a couch slightly lower than the bed erected, apparently because of the dampness of the floor, so the couch was raised a little, and there was also a simple wardrobe next to the bed, and a sword hung on the other side.
Obviously, this is where Fan Huaiyi lives, Li Hong casually looked around, while Hua Meng and Cheetah began to flip through constantly, and the others did not set foot in this hut without Li Hong's permission, so they would not know what Li Hong was doing in it.
Quan Shancai and Su Honghui's faces were cloudy, and they listened to the sounds coming from inside from time to time, but they didn't dare to take even half a step inside.
Fan Huaiyi lowered his head, and did not look at the faces of Quan Shancai and Su Honghui, the two are old rivals, when they were impeached, Quan Shancai was not as powerful as he is now, and he had not been promoted to the Yin of Sanpin Mansion in Chengdu Mansion.
And now, one has become an ordinary person, and the other has become a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, a dignified official of the Tang Dynasty.
No one dared to speak in the whole courtyard, showing a deathly silence, and occasionally a bird on the lake in front of them that was startled by Hai Dongqing flapped its wings and flew towards the mountains in the distance.
Li Hong slowly walked out of the thatched hut, Hua Meng and the cheetah also found nothing, and did not find anything valuable in the simple thatched hut.
A chair was placed behind Li Hong, and he sat down slowly before signaling Fan Huaiyi to get up.
And Wen Rou and Fan Ning'an, including the other dozen or so rangers, were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to move.
"Anything to say? What is your relationship with them? Why are these rangers here? Li Hong's voice sounded lazily, sitting at the door of the thatched house, looking beyond the fence wall of the small courtyard, it was full of verdant green, and the clear lake that made people's minds quiet.
"Back to ...... Back to His Highness, this ...... This son is the ...... of Fan Ning'an, a small folk dog. ”
"So, all of this was instructed by you Fan Huaiyi? Dare to send someone to assassinate His Highness, Fan Huaiyi, what crime should you be guilty of? Quan Shancai stepped forward and said to Fan Huaiyi in a cold voice.
When he impeached himself, Fan Huaiyi could be described as high-spirited and upright, and was later specially appointed and dismissed by the imperial court as the supervisor of Jiannan Dao.
At that time, he was being promoted by Li Zhen, the king of Yue, so for his career, Quan Shancai chose to forbear, and did not retaliate against Quan Shancai at that time, so in the end, when Li Zhen, the king of Yue, went to Yangzhou, he was appointed and dismissed by His Majesty as the governor of Chengdu.
It was also from that time that he really started the battle with Fan Huaiyi, in order to force Fan Huaiyi to hand over the evidence that the grain of Liyang Cang and Hanjiacang was resold that year, Quan Shancai did not hesitate to seize Fan Huaiyi's wife as a threat.
In the end, Fan Huaiyi was forced to resign and return to his hometown, but because Fan Huaiyi's wife died in his own hands, Quan Shancai did not get back the many evidences of reselling the granary back then.
Li Hong did not stop Quan Shancai from asking for the guilt, after all, all this is a fact, and his son's assassination of himself was enough to make these people in the courtyard be beheaded immediately.
Fan Huaiyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, the expression on his face was a little desperate and helpless, ignoring Quan Shancai's questioning, and said to Li Hong: "The crimes of Xiaomin and dogs are unforgivable, please deal with them Your Highness." ”
"Come on, take them down." When Quan Shancai heard Fan Huaiyi's confession, he immediately said to Wei Tuqi.
But after he finished speaking, Wei Tuqi didn't even move, didn't even look at him, and the other soldiers naturally didn't even move.
Seeing that Yu Tuqi and the others did not move, and the crown prince Li Hong didn't seem to hear him at all, but still looked at Fan Huaiyi who was standing in front of him lightly, and Quan Shancai's heart once again felt uneasy.
After Wen Rou and Fan Ningan heard Quan Shancai's words, their hearts trembled, and they wanted to defend themselves, but in the face of the ironclad facts that they had personally caused, and when they assassinated the prince, they were personally caught by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the human and material evidence were all there, so they were not qualified to defend themselves at all.
"Why did you assassinate me? I'd like to hear why. Li Hong's expression was relaxed, and the old god looked at Fan Huaiyi and said.
In Quan Shancai's opinion, this is not at all consistent with the legendary jealous and hateful His Royal Highness the Prince, who is facing His Majesty and the Queen's personal eunuch in the palace, and going up and kicking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if he doesn't agree with him? !
"Xiaomin...... Xiao Minshi didn't know that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who went to Changdao Temple two days ago. Fan Huaiyi didn't know how to defend himself, and he didn't know how to find a reason to excuse Fan Ning'an and Wen Wen.
This is already an ironclad fact, the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already been done, and any further explanation will be in vain.
Ever since Wen Rou and Fan Ning'an hurried here with a dozen companions, he knew that this time they had met a big man, and it was a big man who he could never provoke.
When he asked Wen Rou and Fan Ningan some details of the assassination, as well as He Yuan who let them go, Fan Huaiyi began to wonder if the person they assassinated would be His Royal Highness the Prince!
Because judging from the description of the young man by the two of them, Datang can be civil and martial, and he can kill bloody and powerful people, and he can live in the two halls and three courtyards of Changdao Temple, and his status is definitely one of the few in Datang.
So the first person Fan Huaiyi thought of was the crown prince Li Hong.
As for the intention of letting them go, there is no need to guess, they must have come to find the person who instructed them to be gentle behind their backs, and they were only delayed for a long time, and they were surrounded by His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Who is that mysterious man they are talking about?" Li Hong looked at Fan Huaiyi, and then at Quan Shancai, how did he feel at this time, the situation in front of him was like Fan Huaiyi and Quan Shancai partnering to assassinate and test him.
Fan Huaiyi sighed, then lowered his head and said, "Back to Your Highness, the little people don't know." I'm afraid it's a dog...... I don't know. But...... Xiaomin suspects that it is the four wealthy families of Chengdu Mansion, they have been secretly supporting the Star Picking Temple and the Baiyun Temple, and the dog and others are learning martial arts in the two views, and they will do some ...... from time to time Every time there is an inexplicable rumor in the Taoist temple, and sometimes it will be a mysterious person with a veil, who will come to learn martial arts with them, and then tell them some things about the oppression of the people by the government. ”
"The four wealthy families of Chengdu Mansion? Hehe, it's the first time I've heard of it, Chengdu Mansion, Jiannan Daozhi, and the four major families? Quan Shancai, have you heard of these four great families? Li Hong was amused by the so-called four great families in Chengdu Mansion.
But it's not impossible to think about it, the protection of officials and officials is the inevitable foundation, and in addition to making profits for themselves, if they want to transfer their interests to Jiannan Province, they must inevitably deal with local wealthy families and use their less conspicuous resources than the government.
"This ...... Four great families...... I'm afraid it doesn't exist, right? This is the first time I have heard of it today. Kwon Shancai meditated hard and stammered.
In his heart, it was like turning over the river and the sea, Fan Huaiyi, a dog thief, really deserved to be the material of the imperial history, and he was able to touch the bottom of the star picking view and the white cloud view so clearly.
Looking at the girl in red kneeling on the ground, and Fan Huaiyi's son, Quan Shancai now understands, why did he go to the Star Picking Temple and the White Cloud View to learn martial arts, I'm afraid that Fan Huaiyi had already discovered that there was something wrong with the Star Picking View and the White Cloud Temple, right?
I'm afraid that he won't be able to get close to understand the inside story, and he is also afraid that he will be discovered by others, so he put his son on the mountain, and in the name of learning martial arts, he is actually spying on the details of the Star View and the White Cloud View, right?
Otherwise, how could you know that the four families of Chengdu Mansion have been secretly supporting the two views of stars and white clouds, such a hidden thing!
"Since you know that your son and these dozen or so people have been enemies of the government and have been doing the so-called things for the heavens, why don't you stop it? Even if you have resigned and returned to your hometown, the imperial court will treat you well before you resign, right? Why go against the imperial court? Li Hong got up and picked up the sword that fell to the ground gently, held it in his hand and pressed it against Fan Huaiyi's chin and asked.
This move made Wen Wen and Fan Ning'an, who were kneeling on the ground, so frightened that their hearts had already risen to their throats, and they were afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would stab his father to death in anger.
On the night of the assassination of the Crown Prince, they had already witnessed the ruthlessness and cruelty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he fought with them, not to mention the people who were facing him now.
So at the moment, seeing Li Hong put the long sword on Fan Huaiyi's chin, Fan Ningan wanted to speak, but in the face of two hundred soldiers of the personal guards, as well as the arrows that flashed with cold light, he really didn't have the courage to dare to intercede for his father in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Fan Huaiyi tilted his chin slightly, feeling the cold blade of his chin, but his heart was full of calmness, he believed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not kill him like this.
So just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard a gentle trembling voice next to him say, "Min...... The folk girl has seen His Highness gently. The folk girl knows that her sin is unforgivable, but she ...... But the folk girl didn't know that the person she was going to assassinate that night was His Royal Highness, if ....... ”
"If it's me or another official of the Tang Dynasty, can you assassinate at will? Who gave you the right to assassinate my Datang official? Do you do it for heaven or do you use force for personal gain? Which of my Datang statutes stipulates that you rangers can perform official duties for the government? When you see something wrong, why don't you report it to the official? Or is it that the Tang government and officials have disappointed you completely? Do you need to solve it by force yourself? Every time you kill an official, do you ask about the merits? Is every official you kill a damned person? Is it up to you to decide their deaths? If I am successfully assassinated by you that night, then you are guilty or meritorious! The long sword in Li Hong's hand slashed, and a strand of hair at the gentle eyebrows and eyes was instantly cut off by Li Hong, and slowly floated to the ground.
