Chapter 617: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Liu Che missed Su Ren a little. In the past two days, the royal family has been in a hurry, even in the harem, these people are buzzing in their ears like flies, all of them are one sentence, so that Liu Che spared Liu An'an's family for the sake of Liu An's death. When Liu Chang rebelled, Emperor Wen not only killed them all, but also named Liu An's brothers, so the emperors thought that Liu Che should follow the ancestors.
In addition, news came from the Tingwei Mansion that Liu An did not commit suicide but killed him, which made Liu Che even more upset. Whoever everyone thought about over and over again didn't figure out who it could be? Su Ren was on the Louguan Terrace, and it was impossible to make a move. Those high-flying guys in Chang'an City basically have something to do with Liu An, so they can't do it, so who else?
Liu Che wanted to discuss with Su Ren, but he couldn't call Su Ren back, so he could only sit in the Xuan room and scratch his head: "Liu Jiqing, what do you think I should do?" ”
Liu Jiqing's face was expressionless: "I don't know." ”
"You answered simply, I didn't want to kill Liu An in the first place, who knew that this happened, hey! Who do you think killed Ang Liu? ”
"I don't know!"
It's still the answer of those two words, simply without any emotion.
Liu Che turned his head to glance at Liu Jiqing, put down his pen, and turned around: "Since my father asked you to be my personal attendant, I have rarely listened to you, do you really have no ideas of your own?" After so many years, you should also see clearly what kind of person I am, here are just you and me, why are they still those two words? ”
Liu Jiqing didn't speak, he stood at the place where he was standing with a straight face, his eyes not squinting, and there was no difference between a person not moving and a piece of wood.
Liu Che waited for a while and sighed: "Forget it, you're just a wood!" Go and bring me the recital of today's court meeting. ”
Liu Che worked until late, and he wanted to numb himself with busyness. Since he became in power, his worries have never stopped. used to be worried about the restless things of the princes and kings, but finally the restless princes and kings died, but he was even more troubled.
I didn't go back to my bedroom, nor did I go to Wei Zifu or anything else, I slept on the bed in the Xuan room all night, and when I went to court the next day, I felt some pain in my back. Today's topic is still about the handling of Liu An, the king of Huainan. Without waiting for those courtiers to speak, Liu Che opened his mouth first.
"I have decided that Liu An, the king of Huainan, prevented Lei from serving the country, and designed to kill the imperial envoy and plot to assassinate me, and his crime is not punishable!" After a pause, he continued: "Although I committed suicide in fear of crime, I can't escape the blame for the crime of rebellion, and I ordered Henan to guard Duan Hong, and Huiji Taishou Yan to send Liu An's family to Chang'an to discuss the crime, and set up a county in addition to Huainan State!" ”
Several officials hurriedly stood up and prepared to speak, but Liu Che didn't give them a chance: "This matter is so decided, retreat from the dynasty!" ”
The emperor set the tone, and things were much easier. Tingweifu, Jing Zhaoyin, and the prime minister and other three princes and nine ministers immediately began to implement, those who should be caught and killed, those who should be recovered, and those who should be dispatched. Liu An's accusation of rebellion was announced all over the world and spread in all directions. Liu Qian did not dare to rebel, and he committed suicide in Huainan knowing that the death penalty was inevitable, along with dozens of other Liu An's sons such as the queen. According to Duan Hong's report, when he entered the Huainan Palace, there was already a river of blood inside, and the tragic situation was even more unbearable than the battlefield.
Liu Ling also died in the prison of Tingwei's Mansion, and the original beauty died not at all. The eyes are protruding, the seven orifices are bleeding, and the blood on the neck is not stopped when it is scratched by himself, and the white bones of the forest can be seen. This is a clear sign of poisoning.
Liu Che was furious, threw a few copies of the notes on the ground, and pointed at the court captain who was kneeling in the hall: "Say!" What the hell is going on? The prison of the dignified court lieutenant's mansion turned out to allow thieves to enter and exit, and the prisoner was poisoned to death but the murderer was not caught, Zhai Gong, it was I who made you a court lieutenant in the first place, and now that such a big thing has happened, what do you say I should do with you? ”
Tingwei Zhai Gong slammed his head on the ground, trembling all over: "The minister is incompetent, let down Your Majesty, the minister is ......"
"But what's the clue?"
"No one had contact with him before he died, and after his death, he arrested all the prison officials and interrogated them, but they didn't admit it, so they ......"
"What? So you don't know? What's the use of you as a court lieutenant? ”
Zhai Gong trembled with fright, and didn't dare to say another word.
After sending Zhai Gong away, Liu Che rubbed his face vigorously, sulking alone. So many variables give Liu Che a little headache, this is the most difficult time since he became the emperor, these things naturally cannot be made public, but it is still necessary to find out who is the poisoner, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger. There are not too many people who can kill Liu An'an's family, and this method is not something that ordinary people can do.
Su Kai walked out from behind the screen, and Liu Che glanced at him: "Have you noticed?" ”
Su Kai shook his head: "The matter of Huainan is too far away, the minister's manpower has not yet touched there, Chang'an only died Liu An and Liu Ling, according to the people who monitored Liu An at the time, I saw a group of Huainan businessmen go to the post house to find Liu An, and then Liu An died. ”
"If this matter continues to be investigated, we must find out who did it, and there must be some purpose for killing Liu An."
"No!" Su Kai said yes, but he left without saying yes.
Liu Che asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”
Su Kai took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and sent them to Liu Che's desk with both hands: "This is what Su Ren asked his ministers to hand over to His Majesty, saying that His Majesty will understand after reading it." ”
Liu Che hurriedly picked it up and unfolded it, and read it in ten lines at a glance. The words are still so ugly, and the content is still so straightforward, it is indeed Su Ren's own book, and there will be no mistake. Looking at Liu Che's frowning brows, he stretched slightly, and when he finished reading a few pieces of paper, he actually showed a slight smile on his face. After throwing away the paper, he began to rummage through several cases, and put it neatly and neatly, and it was messed up after three or two clicks.
Liu Jiqing hurriedly grabbed a roll of bamboo slips from the ground and put it down on Liu Che's desk, Liu Che unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and let out a long breath: "Oops! That's really the case, immediately let the Tingwei Mansion order to want Liu An's fifth son, Liu Hong, who wants to see people dead or corpses! ”
Liu Jiqing immediately took the order and went out.
Su Ren yawned heavily, he hadn't slept much last night and had been waiting for news from Chang'an, and he had been busy all day today. Although his people are in the Louguan platform, their hearts are still in Chang'an. Louguantai is not far from Chang'an, and fast horses can play two round-trips a day, and Su Ren will only know about Chang'an's affairs a little later than the emperor. Liu An is dead, Liu Ling is also dead, and they are all killed, how can Su Ren sleep peacefully in such a thing?
Speaking of which, the hatred between him Su Ren and Liu An's family is as deep as the sea, so Su Ren has been paying attention to them. Whether it was in Chang'an or Huiji, the affairs of Huainan were the one he paid the most attention to, and almost every move of King Huainan was under Su Ren's nose. It's not that Su Ren wants to be difficult for Liu An, but that there has never been a positive representation of the King of Huainan in later TV dramas, and all those who appear in the King of Huainan are traitors. Under such influence, Su Ren will unconsciously take care of him.
The news of Liu Kui and Beigong Jin has confirmed that Liu Hong is not among the dead people, and his whereabouts are unknown. Su Ren began to admire this Liu Hong, every time he survived as tenaciously as Xiaoqiang, and this time was no exception.
Han Qing took the notice from the Tingwei Mansion: "Sir, Your Majesty has ordered Liu Hong to be arrested, unless Liu Hong escapes in the Han Dynasty, there will be no place for him." ”
Su Ren shook his head: "That's not necessarily, the world is big, it's no problem to hide a person, I'm just worried that we and Liu Hong won't share the same hatred this time, if he sends someone to harass us, it won't be beautiful, and it's not a good thing to prevent thieves for a thousand days." ”
"Do you want to order a hunt and kill, or send more people to protect the family?"
"It's useless, first of all, we don't know where he is, how to chase and kill? Secondly, no matter how many people you send, you can have a tight prison in the Tingwei Mansion? Everyone in there can enter if they want to, let alone here. ”
"How's that okay?"
"Wait! I hope Liu Hong won't come nonsense. ”
It was late at night, and it was a cloudy day. The sky in the mountains was darker, the surroundings were quiet, there was no sound, and lying on the couch was even more desolate. Leng Yue was about to give birth, and the atmosphere in the Su family was a little tense. Yesterday, Leng Jun personally went to Chang'an to invite Wen Po, who lived next door to Leng Yue, and Chun Yuyi was also pulled over. For this child, Leng Jun is more concerned than Su Ren, and he has to visit Leng Yue every day, for fear that something will go wrong.
According to Chun Yuyi's speculation, these two days are the days when the cold moon is about to give birth. There is no lights out in the small courtyard where Leng Yue lives, and it has become the only light in the entire building, which can be clearly seen from the top of the mountain.
In the second half of the night, a heavy knock on the door woke Su Ren up. Huo Zhilan shouted outside the door: "Big brother, sister-in-law, hurry, big sister is going to give birth!" ”
Su was kicked off the bed by Dong Qian. hurriedly put on his clothes, and rushed to Leng Yue's yard without even putting on his shoes. Leng Yue is a hard-working child, she has no maternal love since she was a child, and her good father can only call Master. Since following Su Ren, he has traveled thousands of miles from Shu County to Chang'an, although he has lived a worry-free life, but there is no one around except Leng Jun.
There was a commotion in the courtyard of Leng Yue, and almost the entire Louguan platform woke up, as long as everyone who could enter the gate of the Su family arrived, waiting for the result. Screaming, anxious, busy, chaotic, these are the most common expressions when giving birth. Fortunately, Leng Yue has practiced martial arts since she was a child, although she didn't learn martial arts very well, her health is good. The rooster crowed all over again, and the good news came out of the room, Su Ren's second child was born, a daughter.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Hello daughter, daughter is daddy's little padded jacket. I think that although Leng Yue is Su Ren's wife like Dong Qian, there is still a difference, and it will be difficult to do things later if she gives birth to a son. unintentionally felt that as long as the child was born smoothly, the safety of the mother and child was more important than anything else. Therefore, the Su family was jubilant before dawn.
However, no one noticed that a dozen sneaky guys on the back mountain beam stared at them all night. One of them is Liu Hong, the fifth son of the former Huainan royal family.
