The man on horseback jumped up, lifted the things in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "On the orders of my emperor, I came to suppress the rebellion in the capital." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Not long after, Shen Zhiwei personally went out of the palace to receive the order, and the man handed over the things in his hand to him, and said: "According to the emperor's instructions, the crown prince Liu Yan was specially ordered to go to Dadu in person to help the Duke of Qi deal with the riots, and the secretaries should be assisted from the side." ”

Shen Zhiwei took the seal tremblingly, looked at him from a distance behind him, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know...... Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now? ”

"His Highness and the army arrived later, and because of the seriousness of the matter, he ordered me to arrive first."

Shen Zhiwei let out an "oh", nodded silently, and asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince commands?" ”

The man took a step closer to him and whispered something in his ear, Shen Zhiwei's face changed in disbelief, "This ...... This ......"

The man straightened his back, looked straight ahead, and said righteously: "Your Highness's move has a deep meaning, since the emperor said, let you help from the side, naturally do what His Highness orders, it will not be wrong." ”

Shen Zhiwei was a little unsure, and pondered for a while before raising his head and saying, "Has Your Highness asked the Duke of Qi for this move?" Do you want me to go to the palace and ask for instructions? ”

"Lord Shen, are you kidding me? The Duke of Qi is still young, and all matters still need to be consulted by the ministers. Although the emperor's edict is that the special crown prince will help the Qi country to settle the riot fairly, can't Lord Shen see it? The emperor means that it will be handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you go to ask the Duke of Qi, what does this mean? Could it be that he is questioning the ability of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Or do you question the emperor's dictation? The man snorted coldly and sarcastically.

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare, I'll do it." Shen Zhiwei said in fear.

When the man saw him get down, he turned over and turned the horse's head to leave, Shen Zhiwei hurriedly took two steps forward to stop him, the man's eyes tightened, and he looked back at him.

"The envoy has come from afar, how can he stay in that filthy inn? It's better to live in the lower official's mansion, so that the lower official can show the friendship of the guest and the host. ”

The expression on the man's face relaxed, and then he put on a look of disgust, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to use this set of officialdom to please me, doing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tells is the right way." ”

After speaking, he didn't even look back, and slowly walked away with the horse's belly.

Shen Zhiwei wiped the sweat from his head, turned around and strode into the mansion, and his henchman Zhao Qu, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly greeted him and said, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, and there will be a riot in Dadu." Shen Zhiwei sighed slightly.

Zhao Qu didn't see his expression, and only said happily: "My lord, it's a good thing, these days for the sake of the mob, the adults don't worry less, His Royal Highness the prince is down, and the adults can finally settle down." ”

"Easy fart, before others arrived in Dadu, they gave me a problem!" Shen Zhiwei only felt a great headache, and hurriedly pressed his temples lightly with his knuckles.

"What's the problem?"

"He Liu Yan asked me to kill a few leaders who made trouble, and the corpses were hung high at the city gate to demonstrate solemnity."

This Shen Zhiwei is a native of Qi, previously in Dadu was an eight-rank county cheng, after the fall of the Qi royal family, many officials in most of the capital were connected, because he did not participate in any internal court disputes, so he was promoted to the five-rank assassin history.

The people of this riot are all Qi people, let him do this kind of thing to the Qi people who are connected to the same root, how can he bear it? Not to mention how the mob should retaliate against him, the people of Qi alone will hate him to the core.

If he doesn't do it, wouldn't he be disrespectful, it doesn't matter if he dies, but what about the family behind him? When he went underground, what face did he have to see his ancestors and fathers? After thinking about it repeatedly, I always felt that it was worth killing one or two mobs.

Liu Yan's afterglow swept slightly on the left and right sides, Chu Shenxia and Ruoyu were both expressionless, their eyes looking straight ahead, as if they were on the road with their whole body and mind.

Liu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he shook his head a little funny, these two people had to follow him to Dadu, and they couldn't persuade them, and when they were resting, they both regarded each other as air, and they were simply enemies.

"Your Highness, there is Dadu ahead." Lu Zhi led some people from the front, but his expression was not very good-looking.

Liu Yan restrained the horse, and everyone behind him followed suit, Chu Shenxia took the lead in asking, "Is there anything abnormal?" ”

"There were a lot of people gathered in front of the city gate, and there was a lot of commotion, and when you looked vaguely, you could see a lot of people dressed by officers and soldiers." Lu Zhi replied.

Liu Yan couldn't help but look ahead, but there were trees in front of him, where could he see the city gate, and he raised his horsewhip and said: "I didn't expect the riot in Dadu to be so serious." ”

Everyone was busy trying to keep up with Liu Yan, and after a while, they arrived outside the gate of the capital, and the people inside the city gate were stunned when they heard the movement, but they never meant to disperse.

Shen Zhiwei, who was surrounded by everyone, saw Liu Yan with sharp eyes, and hurriedly shouted to him: "His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

When the people heard his shout, they all turned to Liu Yan, and their eyes were full of anger and couldn't hide it, and they went straight towards him.

Liu Yan was shocked by them, he was just sent by his father to deal with the riots, why did most of the people look like they were going to kill him?

Surprised, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chu Shenxia looking behind him steadily, Liu Yan followed his gaze, and was shocked by this unexpected scene.

Three human heads are hanging on the city gate, several pairs of eyes are abrupt, the blood on the face does not seem to have dried, it seems that he has just died, and not far from the city gate is the market, no wonder some of these people still have fresh fruits and vegetables in their hands.

Liu Yan looked back at Shen Zhiwei, who was at a loss, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is this?" ”

"It's a mob."

"Why do you take their heads and hang them above the gates?" Liu Yan glanced at him a few times, and saw that he was a Qi countryman, and he was even more surprised.

Shen Zhiwei was a little stunned when he heard this, and said quickly: "No...... Didn't Your Highness tell me to do this? ”

Liu Yan finally understood why the eyes of those people looking at him were so vicious, his two eyebrows twisted, and he reprimanded: "Nonsense! When have I ever given such an order? ”

"Two days ......" said it, Shen Zhiwei suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could His Highness not remember the orders he had given? Could it be that His Highness meant...... Let yourself carry this black cauldron? So he changed his words with some resignation: "It's the official who remembers it wrongly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not given such an order." ”

Liu Yan's eyebrows tightened, didn't he want to cover it up like this? Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Chu Shenxia had already rushed ahead of him and said: "If anyone acts in the name of His Highness, you speak out boldly, His Highness will naturally find out and will not wronged you." ”

Shen Zhiwei was reminded by him, his eyes lit up, and he said in a trembling voice: "Two days ago, a person came with the seal of His Highness, saying that it was an order to pass on His Highness, asking me to kill a few troublemakers, and the corpses were hung at the city gate to demonstrate solemnity. ”

raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yan's face, and continued: "I saw that he had the seal of His Highness, so I didn't suspect that he had him, but I didn't expect to commit such a foolish thing. ”

Shen Zhiwei was still a little apprehensive, he didn't know if this was another play arranged by His Royal Highness, a play for most of the people, and he still felt that he couldn't escape the arrangement of the black cauldron.

Chu Shenxia glanced at the gathered people, and said loudly: "On the way here, His Highness's seal has been stolen, it seems that the person who falsely passed on His Highness's order must be the one who stole the seal." ”

Shen Zhiwei kept his head down and was silent, but an angry voice came from the top of his head, "Why don't you send someone to take it down?" ”

One looked up, saw Liu Yan's angry face, his heart was shocked, he hurriedly came down, ordered someone to take off the head, and the gathered people were ready to disperse.

In the crowd, a sudden cry gathered everyone's attention again, and a woman squeezed out of the crowd, walked in front of Liu Yan and the others, did not kneel, but pointed at him and scolded: "Pity my husband died innocently, is that what you officials plan to do?" ”

Shen Zhiwei was so frightened that his heart was about to fall out of the roar, and he wanted to squeeze out of the crowd, but he found that he couldn't walk through it at all, so he hurriedly stood on a high place and shouted loudly: "Whose woman is this, pull it down quickly, in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, how can you be allowed to make a mistake?" ”

Liu Yan glanced at him, his eyes fell back to the woman in front of him who was crying and scolding, and said without anger: "You tell me what happened." ”

Originally, the woman just felt that her heart was unfair, and they would not help her if they were officials and officials, so she thought of coming forward to scold him and vent her evil anger, but unexpectedly, the person who was called the prince in front of her was willing to listen to herself, and she couldn't help but forget to cry.

The two eyes looked at Liu Yan directly, and it took a while to react, and then he knelt down heavily and kowtowed: "One of the heads hanging on the city gate belongs to my husband Zhang Hui, and the other two are the eldest son and youngest son of the Wang family in Dongjie, Wang Qishu and Wang Qijue. My husband runs a tavern, and these two brothers often come to the tavern to drink, so I learned from my husband Liu Bei and Taoyuan Sanyi as brothers. ”

Speaking of this, she wiped away her tears and said: "Those two brothers thought that they had read the scriptures to the fullest, so they had the idea of living and dying for the country, and they instigated people to oppose the Song Dynasty and restore Qi everywhere in the capital. Two days ago, I was wanted by Lord Shen and forced to have nowhere to go, so I hid in my house that night. My husband had never done these things with them before, but out of brotherly affection, he took them in for one night. Unexpectedly, on that day, Lord Shen led his troops into the tavern, smashed the tavern, and killed my husband and the brothers on the spot. ”

Shen Zhiwei's forehead was bruised, and he retorted loudly: "After Zhang Hui took in his two brothers and refused to accept the interrogation, these two points alone are enough to arrest him. ”

"Even if my husband is guilty of taking in the two brothers, he shouldn't end up being killed without asking." The woman began to weep again.

When the onlookers heard this, they all sympathized with the woman and said: "Yes, I know Zhang Hui, his wine is never mixed with water, and he often helps the poor, which alone is enough to show that he is charitable." It is a pity that such a person who values love and righteousness is killed by mistake. ”
