Chapter 320 The two divisions will be tried

The abnormal weather has attracted the attention of many people in Bianjing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ancient people were quite in awe of the heavens, and once the heavens were different, they would inevitably associate a lot.
Although this sudden rain is not as important as an earthquake or a solar eclipse, there is something special about it. Originally, some people may not have paid attention, but with the help of some people, they also understand.
When it rained heavily, two major events occurred in Bianjing City, or only these two events would cause a little wave and attention.
One is the crime suicide incident that occurred in Taiwan Prison, and the other is the case of Lu Heqing's carriage falling into the Bianhe River and drowning.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be two death cases, but for those who know the inside story, it should be one death in life.
The Iron Mask Sect Master was very satisfied when he heard the report from his subordinates, and nodded: "Very good, if you dare to think crookedly about your son, he will die!" ”
"Sect Master, Lu Heqing is dead, but there are a few flaws, maybe it will be seen that it is not an accident......" The person who spoke was another henchman of the Iron Mask Sect Master, named Li Cheng, whose name was Donglin, and Jiang Leiting, was a right-hand man-like figure. However, in comparison, Li Cheng may be a little younger, not to the point where Jiang Leiting is all-encompassing and alone.
Now, Jiang Leiting went to the northwest, and Li Cheng stayed with the Iron Mask Sect Master. He was the one who took over today's action against Lu Heqing, but in his own opinion, things didn't seem to be so perfect.
"It's good that you can see your own shortcomings!" The Iron Mask Sect Master approving, continued, "Don't worry about this matter, just leave a little clue." It's about letting them know. Not an accident. It's deliberate, this is a wake-up call for Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing, and even Wang Anshi! Let them know that the intention is not good for the childe, and this is the end! ”
"Wouldn't that ......?"
The Iron Mask Sect Master shook his head and said, "Other than that, is it clean?" You didn't leak your collection, did you? ”
"No, it was raining and foggy at the time, so it was a good cover. No one noticed us. Li Cheng is very sure.
"That being said, you still have to be careful, and ...... Lu Huiqing and Wang Yan still have to keep an eye on it, in case they jump off the wall in a hurry! The Iron-Faced Sect Master muttered, "Heavy rain and fog ......"
The Iron Mask Sect Master muttered a few words to himself and asked, "Has the fueling of the flames begun?" ”
"Here we go!"
"Add the heavy rain too, and there will be a vision in the sky!"
"Yes!"
After Li Cheng left, the Iron-Faced Sect Master stood silently in place, staring at the heavy rain outside the window that had gradually stopped, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Heqing's body had been transported back to the Lu family, and many of the family servants were in a hurry. Began to purchase various items and prepare for the construction of the mourning hall.
It happened too suddenly. Who would have thought that the young Saburo would die suddenly? It is impossible for anyone to prepare funeral supplies in advance, and the weather is good or not, the Lu family can be said to be in a mess.
Lu Huiqing may have been overly sad, fainted several times, and was temporarily sent to the room to rest. After only lying down for a while, Lu Huiqing woke up and saw that Wang Yan was the only one in the room, so he asked in a deep voice, "How is the matter?" What did you find? ”
In addition to the real sadness, Lu Huiqing's feelings also have the element of performance, brotherhood and brotherhood, brotherhood and brotherhood, and it is also a beautiful talk when it is passed on.
Wang Yan nodded and said: "Maybe it's not an accident, the horse pulling the cart has a wound on his body, although it may be that he fell into the river and was injured, but it may also be someone did it deliberately!" ”
"Really?" Lu Huiqing's voice was cold, and the coldness made people feel like they were bone-chilling.
Ahem! Wang Yan coughed twice and continued: "Even if it rains heavily, the bridge is still stable, and there are coachmen and domestic slaves escorting it, how can it be possible to accidentally fall into the river?" Brother Jifu, think about it! ”
What was expected, perhaps from the very beginning, Lu Huiqing decided that this matter was boring, and it was not just a simple accident.
"Who is it?" After Lu Huiqing asked, she was suddenly stunned, looked at Wang Yan in disbelief, and hesitated: "Is it him?" ”
In Lu Huiqing's mouth, he naturally refers to Lin Zhao, and if he can kill someone, he must have a deep hatred. Although the Lu Huiqing brothers have offended many people on weekdays, they are mainly due to differences in political views, and some disputes between the old and new parties on changing the law are more like differences in the work of later generations.
In such a situation, it will never lead to death, although the Great Song Dynasty has quarreled because of Xining's change of law, there is no private revenge between each other. Moreover, some ordinary festivals do not reach the point of murder at all, and most of these cases are deeply hateful.
Don't even think about it, the Lu family is a big enemy who lives and dies, and that is Lin Zhao. Suspecting that Lin Zhao is definitely not untargeted, after all, they have planned a lot, and the murder of Lin Zhao was just last night.
The two things happened so similarly, and they are very related to each other, and it is reasonable to think of Lin Zhao.
Before Wang Yan could answer, Lu Huiqing just saw his expression and asked, "He's not dead?" ”
"Hmm!" Wang Yan nodded and said: "It is true that someone committed suicide in fear of sin, it should have been his, but unfortunately he exchanged cells with others, and the people who did things were not careful and did not pay attention." It was just an ordinary death row inmate, and he was safe and sound! ”
And so it was!
The four words safe and sound pierced deep into his heart like the tip of a needle, and Lu Huiqing's eyes flashed with extremely complicated eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart!
Wang Yan continued: "After the incident, a small official in Taiwan Prison disappeared, and the entire Bianjing City disappeared...... And then...... Then, something happened to San Lang! ”
"Is it him?" Lu Huiqing was incredulous, and only after a while did he smile bitterly: "He's still in prison, he can't do anything, but we've already been defeated......"
"He's in prison, but that doesn't mean he can't do anything, he has limited behavior, but he can command others......"
"He ......" Lu Huiqing also suddenly discovered that he had underestimated Lin Zhao so much. At the same time, I was amazed by his strength and courage!
"Does he have that much energy? Did we underestimate him? After Lu Huiqing muttered a few words to herself, she asked, "What does it mean to shoot directly at the third brother?" ”
Wang Yan couldn't help but move. A very clear fact is in front of us. Since the other party has already directly killed Lu Heqing. shows that the role played by himself and Lu Huiqing in this matter has been recognized. Although the thing was done by himself, he was still a little frustrated once he was seen through, and once it was made public, the consequences were even more unimaginable, how could Wang Yan not worry?
Lu Huiqing said coldly: "This is a warning to us? Or is it a declaration of war on us? ”
"No matter what, people have already made a move!" Wang Yan let out a long sigh of weakness. I thought they were the directors of the play, and everything was developing according to their vision, but in the end, it was ......
Lu Huiqing also said in a low voice: "It turns out that we have never taken the initiative ......" Because of arrogance and carelessness, they made a serious mistake. Although it was realized by this time, it was somewhat too late. The younger brother is dead, and to some extent he is responsible, and Lu Huiqing at this moment inevitably has a kind of self-blame and remorse.
"What should I do?" Wang Yan asked in a low voice.
"Hmph, what else can I do?" Lu Huiqing said: "People have declared war, can we retreat?" At the same time, he sneered in his heart, secretly scolding Wang Yan for hypocrisy!
The matter has come to this point, and it should be Wang Yan who has no way to retreat!
Wang Yan knew this very well, and the death of Lu Heqing also heralded a complete break with Lin Zhao. The other party dared to kill Lu Heqing. Don't you dare to touch them? Maybe I'm afraid of my father's identity for a while, but it's really hard to say what the situation will be after a long time! There is always such a threat. It's not a taste after all!
In case the other party wants to make any ruthless moves, maybe it will affect himself and his father, Wang Yan feels that he must take some measures, at least for self-protection.
Wang Yan asked, "What should I do about this?" Kaifeng Mansion has intervened, do you want to pursue it? ”
"Kaifeng Mansion, what can they find? Continue to investigate, there are few good deeds that will connect San Lang and Lin Zhao, and you and I will also be burned! Although Lu Huiqing was in a state of grief, it did not affect his shrewdness in the slightest.
"It's good!"
Maybe Wang Yan thought the same way, but there were some things he couldn't say, so he had to wait for Lu Huiqing to speak first. Although they have a very close cooperative relationship, they are also deceitful and take advantage of each other. Maybe it's just a small thing, but there is a way to see the small and see the big.
"However, San Lang can't die like this in vain, together with Erlang's great enmity, one day, he will definitely have to pay for his blood debts!" Since the enemy with Lin Zhao, the Lu family has suffered heavy losses, Lu Heqing is dead, and the hatred between them is completely irresolvable.
"He was lucky to escape last night, and there may not be any good luck in the future!" Wang Yan seems to have made up his mind.
Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "San Lang has an accident, I can't come forward, everything depends on Yuan Ze!" ”
are all smart people, Lu Huiqing knows very well that the death of his younger brother will definitely attract attention, and if he does not avoid it in time, I am afraid that he will be implicated. At the same time, why not to avoid risks?
Wang Yan is also helpless, after all, the Lu family has a funeral, and some things still need to be more attentive.
However, before leaving, Lu Huiqing said: "Lin Zhao is still in prison, but there are people running for him, which shows that there are many ...... his henchmen."
A suggestive word, there is no need to say more, Wang Yan must understand and know what to do......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It didn't take long for what happened in Taiwan to reach the palace, and Emperor Zhao Ji was silent for a long time after hearing about it.
It is not surprising that a death row inmate has died, but this death row inmate happens to be locked up with Lin Zhao, and this incident is a little unusual.
It has been more than a month since the initial incident, and Zhao Ji's mood has also changed from anger at the beginning, to questioning later, and then to embarrassment now.
There are still doubts, whether Lin Zhao betrayed or not, he is very concerned about this issue, the young emperor has a strong self-esteem. Lin Zhao encountered such a risk in Taiwan Prison, who was the person and for what purpose did he want to kill him? How did Lin Zhao stay safe and sound?
Immediately, he heard the news that Lu Heqing's carriage had fallen into the Bianhe River.
It seems to be something that is unrelated, but Zhao Ji can see the connection at a glance, and he has heard of the grievances between Brother Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao had such a thrilling scene in Taiwan's prison, and Lu Heqing was a servant of the imperial history. It's a person from Goshidai. Lin Zhao is safe and sound. He had an accident when he went back.
Was it really an accident? Or is there something related to this?
Zhao Ji discovered. The people on both sides kept making small movements behind their backs, and they didn't know anything at all, which was the emperor's biggest helplessness.
If it was just an accident, then it's okay to say, if it happened......
Zhao Ji snorted coldly, he seemed to underestimate Lin Zhao a little, there seemed to be someone behind him to help!
"Come on, has Kaifeng Mansion come to a conclusion? How did Lu Heqing die? ”
A seductee of the Imperial City Division has long been waiting in front of the Imperial Palace. replied: "The news of Kaifeng Mansion is an accident!" ”
When the problem was discovered, Wang Yan greeted him, and Lu Huiqing also insisted that it was an accident. The family members all decided that it was an accident, what else is there to say in Kaifeng Mansion, why bother with yourself?
"However...... "But the Imperial City Division is pervasive, and there are some things that cannot be hidden from them at all."
"How?"
"It is said that there are man-made wounds on the horses that pulled the cart, and it may have been deliberate......"
"Humph!" Zhao Ji replied and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Recently, Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing have been very close......"
Some words can be clicked, and Zhao Ji was silent after hearing it.
Long. The hook officer of the Imperial City Division said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Su An is already waiting outside. Do you want to declare? ”
"Xuan!" Zhao Ji turned around and returned to the throne.
After a while, Su An bowed in and greeted the monarch with a big salute in front of the emperor. He was a captain of the Forbidden Army, but he was also a member of the Imperial City Division. Zhao Ji asked him to follow Lin Zhao to do things, in addition to assisting and protecting, it was actually the meaning of surveillance.
In this regard, Su An was a little embarrassed and guilty. Lin Zhao treated him very well, and did not have the slightest contempt for him because he was a martial artist, which made him feel an unprecedented respect.
However, it is difficult to disobey the king's fate, and he has always been an eye and ear for Zhao Ji to put by Lin Zhao's side. However, Su An is also a person who is grateful for his kindness, and sometimes he selectively helps Lin Zhao, such as when he is in Hangzhou, he will more or less hide some news that is unfavorable to Lin Zhao.
Returning from the northwest this time, Zhao Ji wanted to know about Gyeongju, so he must ask Su An.
"Su An, I ask you, what did Lin Zhao do in Gyeongju?"
"Your Majesty, Lin Shaoqing...... Lin Zhao went to Gyeongju alone to investigate at that time, and the general was not with him during that time, so he didn't know about the situation in Gyeongju! ”
"What about in Tibet?"
"Did he collude with anyone along the way?"
"Uh......" Su An hesitated for a moment, and said: "On the way, I met a person who claimed to be a Chang'an pharmacist, named Xin Wenzhe, Lin Zhao helped him a lot, and the two had close contact......s. What's more, there are hundreds of people in the mission, and there is only one person from the Imperial City Division? Su An didn't dare to take risks.
"Xin Wenzhe?" Zhao Ji was very interested, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did Lin Zhao help him?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the general was also puzzled at the beginning, but then he ...... Later, I learned that Xin Wenzhe was a woman, and she had a childlike relationship with Lin Zhao......"
"Really? He's really chic along the way! Sure enough, it's a love species! ”
"I heard that you took care of Lin Zhao on the way back?"
As soon as Zhao Ji asked, Su An immediately sweated profusely and replied: "Before leaving, Your Majesty has a will, let the last general protect Lin Zhao, and the last general will act according to the order." Even if Lin Zhao may be guilty, he will have to be tried by the imperial court, and His Majesty can only deal with it by decree, so the last general will still protect his safety! ”
"Then do you think Lin Zhao is innocent or not?" Zhao Ji asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Su An hesitated for a moment, remembering Lin Zhao's kindness in the past, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that Lin Zhao's collusion with Western Xia is very strange. At the time of Hehuang Tubo, Lin Zhao and Liang Yi of Western Xia buried you to the death, and it was impossible for them to cooperate......"
"Really? How to explain Liang Yi's passionate letter? Zhao Ji snorted coldly: "You go out!" ”
Su An only thought about pleading and exonerating Lin Zhao, but forgot that the emperor's mind was extraordinary. He was arranged by Zhao Ji to be by Lin Zhao's side, and Zhao Ji hoped that he only needed to record objectively, and the members of the Imperial City Division could only be loyal to the emperor. Su An openly helped Lin Zhao speak, which made Zhao Ji very unhappy! Lin Zhao could even "buy" the emperor's henchmen, and an inexplicable jealousy and disgust arose.
Immediately, there were continuous concerts sent in, and some impeached Lin Zhao and demanded that they be tried and disposed of as soon as possible. However, there are also many references to the suicide of death row inmates in Taiwan Prison, and the real purpose is directed at Lin Zhao, both openly and secretly, and the implication is that someone wants to murder Lin Zhao. Then some people say that the sudden rainstorm in winter is due to grievances, and the implication is very clear.
Around Lin Zhao, there seemed to be several undercurrents surging, which made Zhao Ji feel deeply uneasy, and at the same time a little embarrassed.
According to Su An, Lin Zhao seems to have been wronged. But there are many signs that Lin Zhao does not seem to be so simple, simple, there are many people behind or around him.
Of course, why not the people who demanded that Lin Zhao be severely punished? Forming a party for personal gain is a taboo for the emperor, and Zhao Ji is already suspicious, so his good impression of Lin Zhao is constantly decreasing.
Sometimes the important thing in a case is not necessarily the truth, but the political interests. Before he fully understood the truth, Zhao Ji's heart had already begun to be biased. At the same time, a variety of weights are being added to the tilted scales.
For example, the Queen Mother Gao Taotao and her younger brother Zhao Hao don't like Lin Zhao very much, and they are also invisibly increasing pressure on Zhao Hao. made Zhao Ji's favor towards Lin Zhao extremely reduced, even if he still had some pity, he had to do it as a last resort.
At this time, Yu Shi Zhang wrote a letter to impeach Lin Zhao, directly naming Lin Zhao's party, and the example listed was the mysterious person rescued by Weishui Ferry. Zhao Ji knew better in his heart that Lu Heqing's death might also be related to this......
Zhang Piguang is Wang Anshi's person! The most terrible thing is that Wang Anshi then publicly supported Li Fugui again!
Zhao Ji is completely difficult to ride a tiger now, Wang Anshi is forcing him!
This behavior of the courtiers made Zhao Ji very annoyed, but there were many things, and the emperor was helpless!
At the moment, Wang Anshi is inseparable at all, and Zhao Ji has been coerced to some extent, although he is very angry, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only take advantage of the situation!
The choice between Lin Zhao and Wang Anshi, do you still need to ask about the result?
Zhao Ji had no choice but to give an order: "Lin Zhao's treason case, the two divisions of Yushitai and the Criminal Department will be tried!" (To be continued.) )
