"Thanksgiving? Hmph, it's good not to be angry! Shi Hu snorted coldly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before the Lord of Liang could speak, Lu An ran in out of breath, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Liu is here and is waiting for the decree outside the palace." ”

"Let him in!"

"Yes......"

"Your Majesty, why don't I stay away for a while......" said Lord Liang, and stood up.

"No, you sit here and get out of the way." Shi Hu raised his hand and motioned for Lord Liang to sit down.

Lord Liang sat down with some reluctance and quietly glanced at Shi Hu. At this moment, Liu Yuanzhi came in sweating profusely, and immediately knelt down and saluted: "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

"I ask you, how is the investigation of the matter on Wolong Mountain?" Shi Hu looked at Liu Yuanzhi with an embarrassed face and asked.

"Wolong Mountain?" Liu Yuanzhi was stunned.

"What? Can I forget what I commanded? ”

"Don't dare!" Liu Yuanzhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "A few days ago, the minister has already found out some eyebrows, and he has not had time to report to His Majesty......

"Don't have time to report yet? I ordered you to find out the ins and outs of this matter within a month, and it's been almost two months now! The result? Well? ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins...... The minister is incompetent......" Liu Yuanzhi kowtowed and said.

"In my opinion, if I don't ask about this matter, you will be delayed for a long time, right?" Shi Hu glared at Liu Yuanzhi.

"Wechen didn't dare to ...... This is the mastermind behind this matter, the plan is very thorough, although the minister found some clues, but still did not find the mastermind. ”

"I don't want to listen to this, I only look at the results!"

"Yes......"

"Tell me, what clues did you find?" Shi Hu leaned back slightly and adjusted his sitting posture.

The county lord of Liang glanced at Liu Yuanzhi, then at Shi Hu, and stopped talking.

Liu Yuanzhi wiped the sweat on his head, swallowed his saliva, and then said slowly: "Wei Chen checked the corpses of those assassins and found that these assassins are all people who have been practicing martial arts for a long time......"

"Nonsense! If the assassins are all powerless sour literati like you, how can they assassinate others! Shi Hu interrupted Liu Yuanzhi's words.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what Weichen has to say......" Liu Yuanzhi arched his hand and said.

Shi Hu looked at the county lord of Liang who was sitting next to him, and ordered: "You say, explain everything you find in detail!" ”

"Yes......" Liu Yuanzhi nodded, took a deep breath, and said: "After the inspection of the ministers, those assassins are not ordinary people who practice martial arts, but people who fight on the battlefield. ”

"Someone on the battlefield? How so? Shi Hu was interested.

"There is no doubt that those assassins had calluses on their hands and palms, and they must have been practicing martial arts and weapons for many years, but the strange thing is that these corpses have different scars, so the scars are left by different weapons. For the sake of prudence, the minister specially asked someone to take a look, and in addition to the sword, there were also arrows and halberds that caused those scars, so the minister deduced that these assassins were battle-hardened people......"

After listening to Liu Yuanzhi's words, Shi Hu did not fall into deep thought. Anyway, Shi Hu also fought in the Quartet back then, and he also had several scars on his body, judging from his experience, Liu Yuanzhi's reasoning was completely reasonable.

"Your Majesty, in this entire Yecheng, it seems that the only people who can command the soldiers are His Royal Highness King Qing and the Marquis of Xihua, right?" Lord Liang asked in a low voice.

Shi Hu glanced at the county lord of Liang, did not respond, but then asked Liu Yuanzhi: "What else have you found?" ”

"The minister has found so many for the time being, and finally the clue is broken......"

"Rubbish!" Shi Hu slapped the table and scolded: "After such a long time, I have found this innocuous clue!" What do you want? Yes? ”

"The minister is guilty! The minister must find out the truth as soon as possible! Liu Yuanzhi hurriedly kowtowed and said.

"You don't have to worry about Tuntian's affairs for the time being! I'll give you another five days! I have to find out about it! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”

"Wechen obeys the ......"

"If it weren't for your sister's sake, I would have dragged you down and beaten the fifty boards right now! Get lost! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace......" Liu Yuanzhi hurriedly kowtowed, then got up and retreated.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, beware of your body......" Seeing that Liu Yuanzhi was gone, Lord Liang persuaded him.

"If I don't give him some color, he'll always think that I can fool around with anything!"

"Your Majesty, at least the current evidence shows that the matter on Wolong Mountain has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Yan."

Shi Hu glanced at the county lord of Liang and said, "It doesn't matter if it has a relationship or not, I haven't pursued him for this matter for a long time." ”

"Although Your Majesty will not pursue it, what Yan Wangfu wants is Your Majesty's trust and innocence!"

"Don't worry, right and wrong, I know it very well."

"Your Majesty Shengming ......"

Liu Yuanzhi left Hongguang Pavilion with a somewhat dazed expression. Five days, just five days, how to find out the truth of the matter? Liu Yuanzhi didn't have any bottom in his heart, he knew Shi Hu's temper, if he couldn't deliver the results in five days, he might really not be able to eat and walk around.

Liu Yuanzhi was walking along the palace wall alone, when suddenly a woman's voice came: "Lord Liu, why are you here?" ”

Liu Yuanzhi heard someone calling him, looked up and looked around, only to find that a young woman was watching, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Liu Guifei's personal slave Xiaoxiang.

"It turned out to be you......" Liu Yuanzhi replied listlessly.

"What's wrong with you, sir? What happened? Xiao Xiang saw that Liu Yuanzhi's face was not very good, so she approached and asked.

"It's nothing ......" Liu Yuanzhi lowered his head, and didn't seem to have the heart to take care of Xiaoxiang.

"Niangniang was about to ask the slave to find you, what a coincidence, I met you here before I left the palace."

"What did Niangniang ask you to find me?" Liu Yuanzhi glanced at Xiao Xiang.

Xiao Xiang looked around, then stepped forward and whispered: "Niang Niang asked the slave maid to convey it, thank you Lord Liu for exculpating His Royal Highness King Qing in the court today." ”

"Then you tell her that I don't need her thanks." Liu Yuanzhi suddenly said coldly.

Xiao Xiang was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Liu Yuanzhi to have such an indifferent attitude.

"Is there anything else?" Liu Yuanzhi asked.

"I didn't ...... There is no ......" Xiao Xiang didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Yuanzhi saw that Xiaoxiang had nothing else to say, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he turned around and was about to leave.

"Stay ......," Xiaoxiang shouted behind her.

"What else?" Liu Yuanzhi turned his face slightly and turned around.

"Niangniang said, no matter what, you are her brother and her dearest relative......"

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Yuanzhi's mouth twitched slightly, which obviously made him feel emotional, and touched the most sincere feelings for family affection in his heart. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? What's more, he and Concubine Liu have been dependent on each other for many years. Under his indifferent appearance, what is hidden is his love for his sister, although all his words and deeds in the court today are contrary to his original intention, but reason is finally defeated by family affection.

Liu Guifei had no way of imagining how Liu Yuanzhi made such a final choice. Although Liu Yuanzhi helped King Qing in the court today, he was not completely free of resentment towards King Qing's Mansion in his heart, and even had a little anger. Because for him, the Yan Wangfu side has completely regarded him as a traitor, a capricious villain. And for people like Liu Yuanzhi, who read poetry and books and respected their names, the psychological torture suffered by defecting to the enemy is more uncomfortable than cutting him alive.

"Got it......" Liu Yuanzhi replied lightly, and was about to leave, but he stopped again, turned his back and turned his face slightly, and said: "Go back and tell your concubine Niangniang that Your Majesty wants me to find out what is going on on Wolong Mountain within five days, so that Niangniang can do it herself." ”

After Liu Yuanzhi finished speaking, he walked away quickly without looking back, and Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted and wanted to ask clearly, Liu Yuanzhi had already walked away.

"Big ......" Xiao Xiang still didn't have the courage to shout after all.
