Every autumn, according to the old system of the Liao State, the emperor's autumn bowl is set here, and autumn hunting is carried out on a mountain in Yongzhou.

Not far from Chukyo, the bowl was set up here to facilitate the hunting of deer, bears and tigers.

There is a forest in this place, and among them there is a tiger forest, which harms the inhabitants and livestock. Tasting the tiger in the grass, the people trembled and did not dare to look up, and then it became the emperor's autumn bowl.

At this moment, Yelu Jing and the Khitan internal and external ministers, as well as the officials of the Han Xuanhui Yuan, the Han Privy Council, Zhongshu Province and other southern ministers obeyed one or two people, and the autumn bowl was set up on the side of the water in the mountains.

Around the emperor autumn bowl is the rest of the camp, these camps to felt cart for the camp, hard village for the palace, noble relatives for the guards, accounts for the close servants, military ministers for the guards, pro-army for the guards, hundreds of officials take turns for the guard, in order to guard the emperor's safety.

The night hunting activity has begun, which is the traditional Khitan deer shooting festival.

Wait for the middle of the night, the deer drink salt water, let the hunter blow the horn to imitate the deer's roar, in the mountains, a herd of deer can be seen, they have run to come, Yelu Jing dressed in a hunting suit, turned over the horse, ordered all the Khitan nobles to start shooting deer, commonly known as "licking alkali deer", also known as "calling deer".

As soon as Yelu Jing rode away, drew his bow to the full moon, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow broke through the air, and the arrow was nailed to a stag. Jerejin hurriedly ordered the deer to be carried down.

Other Khitan nobles also began to draw bows and shoot deer.

On the hunting ground, the sturdy deer began to be shot, and the rest of the deer began to run into the woods......

Yelu Jing didn't know that at this moment the pot had exploded in the capital, although it was Yelu Jing who was now enthroned, but in the past 14 years, the Liao people have lived under the rule of tyrants, and in 14 years, many Khitan royal nobles have rebelled, but they have all been suppressed by Yelu Jing.

Yelujing has always been very brutal, and now most of the officials of the Liao State are silent, for fear of upsetting the emperor.

Shangjing City is located in the cold wind of autumn leaves, the wind is howling, the army on the street began to patrol the streets, according to the instructions of the officials who specially ordered the investigation of the case in Shangjing City, the army has not found the person who poisoned Yeluxian.

And in the corner of the imperial city in the north of the city, in the Yongxing Palace, Ye Luxian was still lying on the bed that belonged to him, Ye Luxian's face was gray, without a trace of blood, sunken eyes, thin face, black and purple lips suddenly moved, he suddenly wanted to lift his stiff limbs, and he hurriedly went to summon the woman beside him.

"Nuri...... Water...... Thirsty. ”

"Master, you're awake." The maid was very happy to see Yeluxian wake up, and then when she heard that Yeluxian wanted river water, she hurriedly got a glass of water from the kettle and immediately took it, "Master, the water is here." ”

Yeluxian's dry mouth moved, and the maiden raised his head, and then began to feed water.

Yeluxian barely took a few sips, the warm water swam in his dry throat, and suddenly he didn't take a breath, he coughed heavily, and the clear and transparent water was suddenly dyed with a hint of red.

The woman suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly shouted: "Someone is coming, come and ask the imperial doctor to be there." ”

Yeluxian's head moved, and then he fainted again.

The guards guarding outside the hall heard the shouts and immediately sought out the imperial doctor.

Several imperial doctors hurriedly ran to Ye Luxian's room with medicine boxes and other things on their backs to diagnose his condition, but unfortunately several imperial doctors shook their heads vigorously, but they were not able to rejuvenate the curative effect.

At this moment, Han Kuangsi also rushed to Yongxing Palace with a medicine box on his back. After diagnosing Yeluxian's pulse and asking for some information, he shook his head weakly and sighed in the same way.

There are many people standing in the hall, some of them are the same as Yeluxian, but Taizu, the heir of Taizong, and now Yeluxian, who is a member of the Khitan royal family, is poisoned, which is not trivial.

There are also many excited people in the palace, who must be annoyed and angry about Yeluxian's poisoning.

"Straight sissy thief." Someone muttered for a while, "Who is going to harm Ningye (Yelu Xian Khitan called Yelu Ningye), the heir of Shizong?" I don't know who said it in the hall.

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all rang out about the southern expedition of Liao Shizong back then, but he was killed by Yelu Cai in Huoshendian, and then the current Liao Emperor's enthronement, the current emperor is Yelu Xian's cousin, will it?

No way. However, according to the temperament of Emperor Liao today, he is thirsty for killing and brutal, and everyone can't help but feel a chill when they think about it, and drill into their necks to see if this master's head is still there.

Jeruwu, Jeruxianshi, and others stood in the temple and did not say much.

Yelu Wu said at this moment: "Gao Liu, I don't know how to solve this matter?" ”

Gao Xun stayed in Beijing, so he naturally wanted to find out who poisoned him, "Don't guess, the top priority is to find out who poisoned the person behind it and get the antidote." ”

The state army in Shangjing is still patrolling and searching, and in recent days, there have been constant turmoil in Shangjing, and all the main roads in and out of Shangjing have also been left by the army to check and look for people with suspicious deeds.

The poisoning of Yeluxian has formed a bomb between the upper echelons of the capital, and the prime minister is living in Kyoto to handle official business, and at the same time he has to find out who wants to poison Yeluxian. At this moment, Yelujing has not yet learned the news of Yeluxian's poisoning.

The entire city began to be on alert, and the places north and south of the city began to intensify their search. The city wall of the entire Shangjing city is two zhang high, and the area is twenty-seven miles wide. It takes a lot of work to search from house to house.

Shangjing of Liao State is divided into two cities in the north and south, and the north of the city is the imperial city, and the wall is three zhang high. The south gate of the palace is the Chengtian Gate, the east is the Donghua Gate, and the west is the Xihua Gate. Seoul is in the south and is inhabited by Han, Bohai, Uighur and other ethnic groups and plundered craftsmen.

And in the south of the city, there are people from Changchun Hall at the door of Han's house every day, one day, the secret agent travels through the city in the south of the city, which is very prosperous during the day, and it is very common for people to carry people.

By the way, the spy took this rickshaw of the Liao State, commonly known as "Banyu". Banyu stopped in front of the inn.

The wine shop is thriving, and in an inn where the Han people gather in the south of the city, the two brothers of the Shi family and the man in black are still discussing how to rob the Han family intact.

At this time, the agent told the three of them an important piece of news.

"On September 15, the Han family will come to Tianxiong Temple in the south of the city to burn incense and worship the Buddha."

The brothers of the Shi family and the man in black said together: "On September 15, we will start from Tianxiong Temple. ”

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was September 15, early in the morning of this day, the Han family took a car to the Tianxiong Temple in the south of the imperial city, and the carriage went all the way south from the street, passing through the government office, mansion, and workshop, and finally came to the Tianxiong Temple.

Today, the family came to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the family stepped into the hall, standing in front of a two-zhang high Buddha statue, burning incense and making a wish.

The south tower on the hillside outside the hall shines in the sun, and this tower is in the form of octagonal dense eaves, standing solemnly. In the forest behind the south tower, there were many black-clad and masked men.

The Buddha Light Treasure Temple has already ambushed many people and horses in Changchun Hall.

At the moment when Han Kuangsi and his wife bowed their heads to worship the Buddha, the abbot only let the Han family enter the hall together, and the rest of the Han family's maids were all waiting outside the hall.

In the hall, the abbot of Tianxiong Temple was kind and kind-eyed, and when he saw that Han Jiaren was all in the hall, suddenly the Buddhist beads in his hand fell on the blue brick ground.

Suddenly, I saw many black-clothed people rushing into the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Tianxiong Temple.

"Who are you?" Before Han Kuangsi finished speaking, he was kidnapped by the man in black.

"Daddy, husband." Han Kuangsi, Mrs. Han Kuangsi, and two sons and two daughters were all in the hall at the moment, and under a burst of stunned, several people were all tied up.

Changchun Hall has always been known for its neat and clean actions. This kidnapping plan has been in the works for a long time, and now it has finally succeeded.

The next plan for Changchun Hall is how to send the Han family out of the capital.

There is a secret room under the inn in the south of the city, and the Shi brothers have been waiting here for a long time. And the goal of rescue is now all lost? The medicine gave me a faint.

All of the Han family members were sent to the secret room to be detained.

……

On a cold and windy night, the sky has already fallen. On September 15, on the night of the day Han Kuangsi's family was kidnapped, Ye Luxian did not survive in the end, and on the night of the full moon, he died in his sleep at the age of fifteen, and no one expected that the future generation of Liao Emperors would be poisoned in this way.

There was a lot of grief and grief in the Yongxing Palace, and the Nuli, Yelu Xianshi, Gao Xun and others all stood in front of the corpse, but only Han Kuangsi was missing.

Someone came to tell me that today Han Kuangsi's family burned incense and worshiped Buddha in Tianxiong Temple outside the south of the city, but the Han family has never seen their family so far.

Missing or kidnapped, this thought flashed through Yelu Xianshi's mind, "Immediately order people to search for the Han family in the city." ”

The storm in the capital came quickly, and as soon as Yeluxian died, those Khitan nobles panicked, for fear that the next person to be poisoned and killed would be themselves. According to their guesses, this could not have been caused by Yelu Jing.

A few days later, the horse arrived at the autumn hunting place outside Yongzhou City. When the news reached Yelujing, he was happy and sad, happy that Yeluxian was dead, so that there was less threat to his throne, and sad was that it was estimated that the Khitan nobles in Shangjing might think that it was his own hand.

Ye Luxian is dead, and he is still worried that no one can end his life, which can be regarded as a great help to himself.

And in Youdu Mansion, in the lobby of Youdu Stay-behind Mansion, Xiao Siwen, the head of Nanjing Left-behind and Nanjing Dao Soldiers and Horses, sat on it, and saw that Xiao Yanyan's carriage and horses had returned home, and when he saw the return of his third daughter, he said bitterly: "Silly girl, why did you leave Beijing with your maid without saying goodbye, you teach Ye Ye to be worried." ”

Xiao Yanyan said in front of Xiao Siwen as if she had done something wrong: "yes, my daughter won't dare next time." Yan Yan was just worried about Brother Han, and she didn't know if there was any news from her father's side. ”

"News, but there is no ......," Xiao Siwen smiled bitterly, "A good person, who is born and does not see a corpse, seems to have evaporated from the world, it is indeed strange, and our people have not yet found out any information." ”
