Chapter 108: Liu Chan's Murderous Machine
Liu Chan led everyone to the back of the palace, and Huang Hao, who was walking at the end, obediently closed the door and stood behind everyone. [Ran^Text^Library] []
"What the hell is going on in the stockade?" Liu Chan knew that it was impossible for Xiao Wu and the others to come to him casually, so he came in and asked straight to the point.
Shen Feng heard Liu Chan's question, glanced at his sister Xiao Wu next to him, let out a long sigh, and told Liu Chan about Jiang Qing taking the soldiers to the Qiang village to collect grain, and then the people in the Qiang village resisted and killed the three soldiers.
The more Liu Chan listened, the more his brows wrinkled, and he couldn't help but clutch the hand in his robe.
After Shen Feng finished speaking, Liu Chan exhaled to calm himself down and asked, "So, the person who requisitioned the grain was ordered by me?"
"yes, yes!" The big pillar on the side nodded again and again, "We have always lived by hunting in the village, and the only food we have been exchanged with the villagers in the county, and we have never levied grain before." Unexpectedly, when we said that there was no food, the man ordered the soldiers to break into the village, so the clansmen clashed with the soldiers, and three soldiers died. ”
Liu Chan turned his head and said in a deep voice at Guan Ping: "You go and find out who went to the village to collect grain under false word of me!"
Guan Ping, who was on the side, suddenly asked, "Is it a fat man?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's a big fat man! Da Zhu glanced at Guan Ping curiously, nodded and replied without thinking.
"Your Majesty, I know who that man is." Guan Ping turned his head and saluted Liu Chan firmly: "If you follow the description of Brother Dazhu, that person must be Jiang Qing, today at noon, Brother Zhang Bao and I also saw Jiang Qing coming back from the North Gate with a team of soldiers!"
"Jiang Qing?" Liu Chan looked at Guan Ping's firm face, and seemed to remember something, "Is it the one that blocked the north gate?" ”
"Hmm!" Guan Ping nodded, "It's this person." ”
Liu Chan squinted, laughed angrily, and said, "Good Jiang Qing, he actually dares to falsely spread my will and collect grain at will!"
"Your Majesty, do you want me to arrest him!"
Liu Chan didn't speak, but calmly thought with his hands behind his back: "What's wrong with little Jiang Qing pretending to spread the word, and he dares to block the north gate and collect grain privately?"
Thinking of this, Liu Chan suddenly remembered that when he saw Zhuge Liang that day, he also asked why he blocked the north gate, and Zhuge Liang also replied at that time that he agreed, and it was his subordinates who were doing things!
Thinking of this, Liu Chan suddenly felt that things might not be so simple!
Immediately, Liu Chan turned to look at Zhang Yingying and smiled, and said, "Yingying, you take Sister Xiaowu and everyone down to rest first, and I will take care of the rest."
"Brother Adou! Now that you know that it's Jiang Qing, why don't you arrest him! Zhang Yingying seemed to be very dissatisfied with Liu Chan suddenly letting her take everyone away, and looked at Liu Chan angrily.
"Brother Liu, no, no, Your Majesty, you have to save the people in the village!" At this time, Xiao Wu also said to Liu Chan with tears on her face.
At the same time, Shen Feng and Da Zhu also looked at Liu Chan with anticipation.
Liu Chan naturally knew what everyone meant, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as I am here, there will be nothing in the village."
After Liu Chan finished speaking, he turned around and leaned in front of Zhang Yingying and said sincerely: "Yingying, you take everyone down first, and I will deal with the rest."
Looking at Liu Chan's sincere and serious look, Zhang Yingying didn't say anything this time, just nodded to Liu Chan, and walked over to her bedroom with Xiao Wu and the others.
After everyone left, only Liu Chan who was standing with his hands in his hands and a pensive face was left in the hall at this time, and Guan Ping, who was now silent behind Liu Chan.
At this time, the palace seemed to be extremely quiet, and at this moment, Liu Chan, who had been standing with his hands in his hands, suddenly turned his head, looked at Guan Ping and said, "Is Jiang Qing doing something for his father?"
Although Liu Chan's voice was not very loud, when he heard Guan Ping's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he seemed to realize something.
"Your Majesty means that it was instructed by the Prime Minister?" Guan Ping asked Liu Chan with a slight hesitation.
Liu Chan sighed and said, "I don't dare to make an assertion."
Guan Ping paused for a moment and replied, "Jiang Qing's uncle is now Jiang Wan, the East Cao Peng of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Although Liu Chan does not manage the government now, he also knows that after Zhuge Liang opened the mansion to govern affairs, he set up the position of Dong Cao Peng to assist the prime minister in handling affairs, and it can also be imagined that Zhuge Liang trusted Jiang Wan.
"Hehehe." Liu Chan smiled, "I didn't expect that our prime minister would actually use the name of the Son of Heaven to abuse traitorous ministers and corrupt officials, and specifically do something that hurts heaven and reason!" ”
"Your Majesty!" When Guan Ping heard Liu Chan's words, his always calm face instantly became a little panicked, he didn't expect that Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, who had always been highly respected and prepared for a rainy day, actually became the culprit who hurt the heavens and deceived the people in Liu Chan's eyes.
Looking at Guan Ping's somewhat discolored face, Liu Chan was not surprised, after all, Zhuge Liang's majesty had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, "Let's not talk about the prime minister, but, this Jiang Qing must be strictly investigated by me!" ”
Guan Ping looked at Liu Chan, who was firm and slightly angry, and nodded heavily.
"However, before Jiang Qing is strictly investigated, I am going to meet someone!" Liu Chan was dead for a moment and said.
Guan Ping looked at Liu Chan with a questioning face, and suddenly felt that Brother Adou in front of him had some shadows of when he saw Liu Bei.
Liu Chan naturally didn't know Guan Ping's thoughts, so he just squinted his eyes and exhaled a long breath, "Guan Ping, I want to ask you something!"
"Your Majesty, please command!" Guan Ping pursed his lips and said in a deep voice.
Looking at Guan Ping, who had a firm face, Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said, "You go and call Zhang Bao first, I have something for you to do!"
Now Liu Chan trusts him, in addition to Zhang Yingying and Huang Hao, I am afraid that only Zhang Bao and Guan Ping, who have played with him since childhood, and each other's fathers are sworn brothers.
Guan Ping didn't speak, just nodded, and obeyed Liu Chan's instructions to call Zhang Bao, who was still sleeping under the big willow tree in front of the North City Gate.
Looking at Guan Ping's figure of slowly retreating from the group and closing the palace door, Liu Chan's brows became more and more wrinkled.
"Originally, I didn't expect to fall out with you so soon, but you forced me to do this!" Liu Chan muttered to himself and stood in the palace with his negative hands, and the hands in his wide robe had already clenched into fists......
