Chapter 501: Wolf Heart and Dog Lung
Xu Lai's acting skills are good, he personally takes care of Liu Ci every day, wiping his body, urinating, feeding, and feeding medicine all by himself, and never pretends to borrow the hands of others. In addition to these, Liu Guang also accompanied Xu Lai, and his care for Liu Ci was meticulous, which was completely in line with the four words of virtuous and virtuous. However, as soon as he returned to his room, Xu Lai's happy expression couldn't be hidden, no matter what he did, the corners of his mouth would unconsciously rise, which was proof of happiness in his heart.
The current situation in Hengshan Kingdom is very favorable to Xu Lai and his son Liu Guang. Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, was seriously ill, and everyone thought that Liu Shuang, the son of the family, was the murderer of his mother, and the most ridiculous Liu Xiao had already been locked up for seducing his mother. According to the order, his son Liu Guang is already the most powerful person in Hengshan Kingdom.
After a busy day, Xu Lai was getting ready to take a rest, and his cronies and palace maids came in quietly and muttered a few words in Xu Lai's ear. Xu Lai snorted coldly: "What are they doing at this time?" ”
The palace maid shook her head: "I didn't say it, I'm already waiting in the Mingde Palace." ”
"These two sluts are useless anymore, let them go!"
"No!" The palace maid agreed, saluted respectfully, and turned around to go out.
"Come back." Xu Lai suddenly said: "Prepare, go and meet them, they must have helped us, I can't do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." ”
"No!"
Su Ren was also tired for a day, and the person he had to deal with was Liu Shuang. Today's Liu Shuang is like a dog skin plaster, crying for a while, making trouble for a while, giving gifts and making promises, holding Su Ren up to the sky, and saying that he is despicable and shameless. Su Ren can't see such a guy the most, but this is the person taught by the prince's noble mansion, one by one, shameless, it can be said that the world is invincible. In the end, Su Ren still promised Liu Shuang to speak for him, and then sent Liu Shuang away.
Sent Liu Shuang away, looking at the mountains of gifts in the house, Su Ren looked at it casually. There are few good things, but they look at the place, but they are actually not worth much, so they selected a few of them and asked Huang Shisan to distribute the rest to the guys in Cuixiang Building, which can be regarded as a commendation for their loyalty.
Everything was carried down, Wei Qing turned out from behind the screen, and said to Su Ren with a smile: "It seems that the prince of the world is crazy, and the way to ask Mr. Su for help should be where Xi Ci is, Xi Ci has been in Hengshan Country for the longest time, and he also knows the King of Hengshan best, if Mr. is willing to speak for Liu Shuang, with the timid nature of King Hengshan, he will never dare to embarrass Liu Shuang." ”
"Mr. Wei also looks up to me like this? In the next place, it is just a doctor Guanglu, even if you add Zhonglang General and Guan Neihou, it is not as big as a finger of King Hengshan, how much weight can my words have. ”
Wei Qing shook his head: "Ming people don't say secret words, although Mr. has a small official title and title, he is a confidant of His Majesty, and this alone can make King Hengshan bow down and be a minister." ”
Su Ren smiled: "You people, you think about these things every day, you have all figured out the doorways in the officialdom, are you interested in returning to Chang'an with me?" Don't worry, how about not letting you be an official, being my staff? With Mr.'s family learning and talent, it was so wasted, it was a tyrannical thing. ”
"Hehe, it's okay to be a staff member, but the pay is also good."
"No problem, as long as Mr. speaks, there is no way except for the stars in the sky, as long as I can take it, I will not be stingy."
"Mr. Su knows what I want." Wei Qing looked at Su Ren.
Su Ren also looked at Wei Qing: "Guard, guard, protect also; Han, the well wall, the earthen wall around the well, to prevent others from falling into the well, these two words look different, but they are very similar in meaning! Mr. has been incognito for so many years, I hope there is a chance to avenge the grievances of your ancestor Zhaoxue, Mr. Su Ren admires the resilience of Mr., if Mr. stays in Hengshan Country, he will have no chance in his life, only when he goes to Chang'an can there be a glimmer of hope, isn't it? ”
Wei Qing smiled: "As Mr. Su said, do you have to go down?" ”
"I have to go!"
Wei Qing smiled at Su Ren: "From today on, please call Mr. Han Qing in Xia, it is the staff of Doctor Guanglu and Zhonglang General Su Ren, and Wei Qing, the confessor of Hengshan Country, is no more." ”
Just as he was saying this, Huang Shisan pushed the door in, and saw Han Qing stunned for a moment, and turned around to go out. Su Ren beckoned: "Come here, this is Mr. Han Qing, he will be my staff from now on, remember?" ”
Huang Shisan scratched his head: "Isn't this Wei Qing?" How did you change your name? ”
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, say, what's the matter?"
Huang 13 hurriedly said: "The rain is coming in time, there is something important to report." ”
Han Qing had been admiring the few gifts that Su Ren had specially selected from the pile of gifts, and he had ignored the conversation between the two, as if he hadn't heard it. Su Ren smiled and said to Han Qing: "Timely rain is the leader of my subordinates, and many inconvenient things are handled by them, usually I contact them, and I will take the initiative to come to the door when it is important, and Lao Huang is responsible for connecting with them." ”
Han Qing nodded and didn't ask more. Su Ren said again: "Mr. Han, how about we go and meet together?" ”
Ah Xun waited for a long time in a dilapidated courtyard when the leopard head suddenly burst in and nodded at him. Ah Xun immediately got up, gathered his clothes, and walked out the door. As soon as he got out of the house, the courtyard door had already opened, and Su Ren walked in with Han Qing and Huang Shisan. There was one more person today, Ah Xun felt strange, but he didn't ask more, he saluted Su Ren and let a few people into the house.
Su Ren sat down on his hands, and Han Qing and Huang Shisan stood one by one. Su Ren asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ah Xun said: "The people who arranged for His Royal Highness Mingde sent news that Xu Lai, Liu Hong, and Liu Wucai were preparing to poison Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, and wanted to put the blame on Liu Shuang, and use the people of Hengshan and Zhang Guangchang to capture and kill Liu Shuang, so that Liu Guang could succeed to the throne smoothly." ”
Han Qing immediately asked, "Who will do it?" ”
Ah Xun glanced at Han Qing and then at Su Ren. Su Ren said: "This is Mr. Han, my staff, who are they going to let do?" ”
Ah Xun had investigated Han Qing and naturally knew who he was, so he didn't ask more, and hurriedly said, "Liu Hong!" In the name of visiting the patient, he gave Liu Ci some medicinal materials, among which there were two kinds of Xiangke. ”
Su Ren said: "This group of people is becoming more and more unscrupulous, can you hear what kind of medicinal herbs it is?" ”
Ah Xun shook his head: "Liu Hong didn't say it." ”
Su Ren could feel that Han Qing was a little anxious. Back then, the Han family was beheaded by the whole house for rebellion, and only Han Qing was saved from being robbed by being taken back to his home by the nurse. Overnight, he changed from the prince of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to a prisoner of the imperial court, and he could only wander incognito, wandering around for more than 30 years. If Liu Ci hadn't seen his pity that day and rewarded him with a bite of food, maybe Han Qing would have starved to death on the streets, so he would have become a confessor of Hengshan State. Although Liu Ci and Han Qing have the hatred of destroying their families, they also have the grace to save their lives, and now that they know that someone is going to murder Liu Ci, Han Qing can't sit idly by.
Su Ren turned his head and forgot about Han Qing: "Mr. Han doesn't need to worry, no matter what King Hengshan says, he is also the prince of the Han Dynasty, and murdering him is a rebellion, and as a court official, you can't ignore it." ”
Han Qing immediately bowed down: "Han Qing bows to Mr. Xie!" He knew that the reason why Su Ren intervened was to give Liu a favor for him, from Su Ren's point of view, this kind of thing is beneficial to the imperial court, as long as King Hengshan dies and Su Ren tells the truth, Xu Lai, Liu Wucai, and Liu Hong will not be able to escape, plus Liu Shuang and Liu Xiao, the two rebels, the final result of Hengshan Kingdom is likely to withdraw from the country and build a county.
Su Ren helped Han Qing up: "I forgot to say to Mr. Han, kneel down at every turn in my house, everyone is equal, if you have something to say, kneel back and forth, you will understand when you return to Chang'an." ”
The plan to murder Liu Ci was proposed by Liu Hongxian first, and Xu Lai and Liu Wucai were startled when this statement came out. No matter what, Liu Ci is their husband and father, and he killed him with his own hands, and he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.
Liu Hong said with a smile: "Everyone has to die, it's just a matter of time or time, if Uncle Hengshan Wang doesn't die, where will Brother Liu Guang have a chance?" Don't look at Liu Shuang being suspicious now, Liu Xiao is locked up, if Uncle Wang is confused for a while and lets these two people turn over, it will be us who are unlucky! Only when Brother Liu Guang sits on the throne can we be completely assured that if there is no succession to the throne for a day, anything can change. ”
"And you!" Liu Hong pointed at Liu Wucai: "Your matter, although Uncle Wang didn't say it, he thought that you were his biggest shame, if it reached the point where he couldn't bear it anymore, he drove you out of the palace, hehe, it's good that you can live." ”
Xu Lai and Liu Wucai glanced at each other, and neither of them dared to nod first. Liu Hong said again: "Besides, I did it, and it has nothing to do with you, even if the matter is revealed, it is my business, you should treat it as if you don't know, doing all this is for you, it doesn't do me any good, do it or not, give a happy word, if it doesn't work, just don't say it." ”
The two still didn't speak. Liu Hong sighed: "If you don't speak, I will acquiesce, and I will send someone to prepare tomorrow, how about it?" ”
Xu Lai thought for a while: "Can you guarantee that there will be no mistakes in this matter?" ”
Liu Hong said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, the little nephew is absolutely sure." ”
Xu Lai hesitated for a while, and asked Liu Wucai tentatively: "Wucai, what do you think?" ”
Liu Wucai's face turned white, it was his father, his biological father. Looking at Xu Lai, and then at Liu Hong, Liu Wucai closed his eyes in pain: "Everything is up to the mother!" ”
Liu Hong nodded: "Okay, this matter is decided!" Looking at Liu Guang, who was silent next to him, Liu Hong gave a deep salute: "Congratulations to King Hengshan on his succession!" ”
Liu Guang glared at Liu Hong and said nothing.
Back at Cuixiang Building, Su Ren and Han Qing entered the house together and instructed Huang Shisan and Manniu that no one should approach. The two discussed all night, and it wasn't until dawn the next day that Han Qing came out of it. After not seeing each other all night, Han Qing changed his previous silence and walked with the sound of the wind. Hurried out of the courtyard, and soon disappeared into the morning mist.
Su Ren yawned heavily, stretched, and asked the wild cow to prepare food. I didn't sleep for a day and a night, and the dark circles under my eyes were very heavy. washed his face with cold water, and asked Huang Shisan to prepare the carriage, he was going to the Shizi Mansion.
