Chapter 40: The Murder of the Palace

Above the main hall of the Chang'an Lieutenant's Mansion, more than a dozen big men were tied up and fell to the ground by Wuhuada, but their mouths were noisy, claiming that they were the kings of Hejian, the kings of Jiaoxi and the guards in the palaces of Linjiang kings, and they also threatened not to let go of the lieutenant.

When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but they were not afraid of the names of the three princes, but they were extremely sympathetic to these big men. These people are obviously not natives of Chang'an, otherwise how could they not know the notorious "goshawk" name of Lord Zhidu.

Seeing that someone had already gone in to inform Lord Zhidu, the officials were even more anxious. Lord Zhidu has always been very strict, and if the lord sees such a scene when he comes out, the officials will not be punished. Immediately a few fierce guards took the long stick in their hands and stepped forward, and beat everyone on the ground violently, until they couldn't stop begging for mercy, so they spat fiercely and returned to their positions.

Suddenly, Zhi Du strode in from the back hall, sat down on the chairman, and asked quietly, "Who are the people below?" ”

The big men in the hall suddenly became noisy again, and their mouths continued to scold.

"I am the guard of the Hejian Palace, you little lieutenant, dare to humiliate me like this, don't you take my prince in your eyes?"

"Quickly let me go, the officials in your mansion dare to beat the guards of the Jiaoxi Palace, and they will make you regret it!"

"Little lieutenant, you actually committed murder, is there still a royal law?"

"Let Grandpa go!" ……

When Zhi Du heard this, his face did not change at all, but he picked up the shocking wood on the case and knocked on the case gently. The official in the lobby hurriedly stepped forward, and the sound of crackling sticks into the flesh continued to sound. The big men were beaten to tears and kept crying out in pain. Zhidu didn't seem to hear their begs for mercy, until the voice gradually weakened, and a few big men even had only intake and no breath, so they waved their hands and let the tired and sweaty guards retreat.

"Say, what's going on?" Zhi Du pointed to the scribe of the lieutenant's mansion on the side and asked.

The scribe hesitated for a moment and replied: "They are all kidnapped by the soldiers of the Qimen School, and it is said that these people are sneaking around the mansions of the three princes of Hejian King, Jiaoxi King and Linjiang King, and they must not be good people, and they are afraid that their desire will be unfavorable to the three princes." ”

Anyone can hear that the soldiers of the school are talking nonsense, obviously they are the guards sent by the palace to inquire about the news, and they are stunned to say that they are thieves, if these soldiers themselves are not ambushed near the palace, how can they catch these "thieves".

"What do you say?" Zhi Du asked the angry big men in the hall with an expressionless face.

A big man who could still breathe didn't know that the lieutenant in front of him was a bad star, and he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, but with tears in his eyes, he shouted injustice: "My lord Mingjian, we are all the guards of the three princes' mansions, where is the thief?" ”

Zhi was noncommittal, and continued to ask, "Oh? Can there be a seal as evidence? ”

Dahan chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, the seal letter we are waiting for has been snatched by those soldiers, please make the decision for us!" ”

Zhidu's face sank, slapped the shocked wood fiercely, and scolded: "Nonsense! There is no token, how can it be proven?! And how could the palace guards not wear armor, but they were dressed in sackcloth?! Such a sneaky act seems to be a thief! Come! Drag it down and use it with a big punishment! As long as the official confesses, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies! ”

The big men were shocked when they heard this, and used their last bit of strength to beg for mercy loudly, begging Zhi to go to the palace for verification. The officials were not moved at all when they saw Zhi, and they didn't know that the adults meant to put them to death. What is there to hesitate about, drag the big men out at the moment, and use all kinds of means without mentioning it.

Zhidu soon got a confession, and every big man drew a charge, admitting that he intended to murder the three princes, and even colluded with the housekeepers and guards in the palace. Murdering the prince, or being the three princes of today, this is a big crime of the Yi people! Zhi Du patted the thick stack of silk silks full of confessions on his hands, and instructed the government guards to prepare the car and go directly to the Dali Mansion (in charge of justice).

Dali Qing Wang Xuan looked at the confession on the case and the expressionless Zhidu with a sad face, nodded helplessly, and said, "Just do it according to the wishes of the lieutenant." ”

Wang Xuan reluctantly stamped his gold seal on a roll of warrants, looked at the back of Zhi picking up the warrant without saying a word, and turned to leave, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and muttered: "Zhidu, Zhidu, you can hurt me!" I just hope you don't have to be too ruthless! ……”

In the palace of Linjiang Wang, Liu Rong and his two younger brothers retired from the subordinates, drank and feasted behind closed doors, and after three rounds of drinking, they were a little drunk.

Liu De, the king of the river, had slightly red eyes, raised the bottle and drank it all, looked up to the sky and roared: "Mother, the child is not filial!" ”

"Big brother, my mother died so miserably! If you don't avenge this revenge, you will be a son of man in vain! Liu Yan, the king of Jiaoxi, also had tears in his eyes when he heard this, and said to Liu Rong in a negative manner.

Liu Rong clenched his fists, his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh, and he didn't say a word. After a long time, perhaps the pain made him sober up a little, and his whole body relaxed, like a deflated ball, and sighed: "Now that you and my brother are unable to protect themselves, how can we talk about avenging our mother?" ”

Liu De hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Lord Dou Ying was originally the eldest brother's prince and concubine, and now he is the chief lieutenant, and he is in charge of the handsome seal, if it is ......"

Liu Rong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Second brother Hugh is talking nonsense!" For my brother, I will not do such usurpation! ”

"Humph! This prince's position is the eldest brother, if it weren't for Wang Huan's demon woman who confused her father, with Liu Che's childish mouth, how could she be qualified to ascend to the throne? ! ”

Seeing that Liu Rong seemed to be loose, Liu Yan hurriedly echoed: "Big brother, the second brother is right!" At the beginning, my father wanted to abolish your crown prince, but Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying were both strongly opposed. Lord Zhou even lost the position of prime minister for this, thinking that Liu Che must be resentful in his heart, if he can get the help of the two adults, great things can be done! ”

"It's just...... Father ......" Liu Rong heard this, his heart moved, and he hesitated.

"Those who have achieved great things, how can they stick to small sections? At that time, it would be best if the father was willing to take the throne, and if he was unwilling, he would not be able to ......."

Liu Rong was shocked and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't! For my brother, I can't do that act of killing my father! ”

Liu De's face was full of resentment, and he persuaded: "Big brother, think about it, can my father have a little bit of husband and wife affection for my mother?!" Is there a father-son relationship with us?! not only connived at Wang Huan's poisonous woman to torture her mother to death, but also summoned us to Beijing this time, what good thing can it be?! ”

Liu Yan echoed: "That's exactly the reason! Since my father doesn't think about flesh and blood! Big brother, why bother thinking about it! ”

Liu Rong's face changed several times, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the housekeeper of the Linjiang Royal Mansion shouted urgently outside the door: "Lord, something is wrong!" The soldiers of the lieutenant's palace surrounded the palace, saying that they wanted to arrest the key criminals. The guards couldn't resist, and the officers and soldiers had already broken in! ”

The three people in the room were furious when they heard this, and Liu De even shouted: "When was the Lieutenant's Mansion so arrogant that he dared to go to the palace to get people?!" ”

Boom! The butler outside the door did not answer, but the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

The door was immediately kicked open, and Zhi Du slowly walked in, bowed to the three princes in the room, and said loudly: "Lieutenant Zhi has seen the three princes!" ”

Liu Rong stopped Liu De, who was about to scold, squinted his eyes, and asked coldly, "You are Zhidu?" Is it the Zhidu that wiped out the clan of the king's Amu Li? ”

Zhi Du straightened up, and said with a facial expression: "It's Xia Guan!" ”

Liu De and Liu Yan hated it when they heard this, and almost wanted to devour their flesh and blood. There are hundreds of people in the Li family, and how many aunts and cousins have been wiped out by him, and this hatred is not shared!

Liu Rong grabbed the two younger brothers at hand and sneered: "Lord Zhidu came here this time, why?" You can't want to wipe out all three of my brothers, right? ”

Zhi Du shook it again, took out a roster from his arms, and said, "The lower officials don't dare!" It's just that a few thieves were caught today, and they confessed that they colluded with the three princes' subordinates in the palace, intending to murder the three princes, and the lower officials came to arrest the suspects to protect the prince! ”

"Oh?" Liu Rong was stunned when he heard this, took the roster handed by Zhidu, and took a closer look, it turned out to be all the staff, housekeepers and guards in the palace, and there were no less than dozens of people, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Lord Zhidu!" This must be a misunderstanding! ”

"The prisoners have all pleaded guilty, is the prince trying to shield the suspects in the house?!" Zhi Du looked directly into Liu Rong's eyes, and a piercing cold light burst out of his eyes, and he said coldly.

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous!"

Liu De and Liu Yan shouted angrily in unison, and Liu De shouted loudly outside the door: "Someone! Tie up this embryo for me! ”

After waiting for a long time, but no one answered, the three of them couldn't help but change their faces. But seeing Zhi Du said slowly: "Don't worry, the guards in the palace have all been escorted to the lieutenant's mansion." After the suspicion is cleared, the official will release him. ”

Liu Rong trembled with anger, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhidu, but he couldn't speak for a while.

"My lord, all the suspects have been arrested and are being escorted to the Lieutenant's Mansion!" The soldiers from the lieutenant's palace ran in and reported.

When Zhi Du heard this, he didn't pay any attention to Liu Rong and the others, and turned around to leave. When he walked to the door, he turned his head again and said, "Since the King of Hejian and the King of Jiaoxi are also here, the lower officials do not need to make another report, and I think the two suspects in the prince's mansion have also been arrested." Before this case is clarified, the lower officials will send additional people to guard the mansions of the three princes, and also ask the princes not to move around too much, so as not to be calculated by the thieves. ”

Before the words fell, he didn't care about the reactions of the three of them, and strode away without looking back.
