Chapter 607: Who is the real murderer?

readx; Zhang Yun stood up slowly, he had been waiting for a long time, he was not in a hurry, he had to wait for Wei Tao to finish singing all the scenes, and then he would take the lead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Ladies and gentlemen, since I invite you to come, I am taking this opportunity today to give you a clear explanation, about the assassination of Pei Xiangguo that happened a few days ago, I think it should be time to summarize this matter."

Zhang Yun's words caused a slight twitch, Zhang Yun has always been known for being cautious and not taking things lightly, he said this, did he have any eyebrows?

Wei Tao said nothing with a gloomy face, his lips were bitten white, Liu Yan's statement made him feel uneasy, and Zhang Yun's self-confidence made this uneasiness in his heart deeper, but he didn't believe that Zhang Yun could find any strong evidence, he didn't have it last night!

Zhang Yun walked up to the front desk and smiled slightly for Pei Min, "Pei Shilang, please allow me to occupy this place for a moment." ”

Pei Min hurriedly put aside the things on the table and vacated a space, "Zhang Xiangguo, please!" ”

Zhang Yun stepped forward, facing everyone, as if by magic, he clapped his hands, and everyone looked back together, only to see an official holding a large package and walking quickly into the hall, Shen Pearl looked at the triumphant Zhang Yun, with a complicated expression on his face.

The officer carefully placed the package on the table and slowly untied the knot, and many people stood up and looked around, and a slight exclamation could be heard from the hall.

The brocade package had been spread out, and there were several items on it, a crossbow machine, a scroll of holy decrees, and two booklets that resembled a register.

The crossbow machine everyone immediately thought of the bow and crossbow that shot Pei Zunqing at the scene, but it was obviously taken away by the internal guards, how could it be in Zhang Yun's hands, could it be......

Zhang Yun picked up the crossbow machine and said to everyone in a hurry: "This crossbow machine must have been guessed by many people, that's right, it is the crime bow and crossbow at the scene, I borrowed it from the internal guard." ”

He pointed to the white traces on it and said: "This is the number of the crossbow machine, the military supervisor is four, three, three, three, five, the maker is Sun Hao, and he is behind everyone now." ”

Everyone turned around again, only to see a middle-aged man with half a hundred hair standing up and bowing down, "The villain is Sun Hao, the crossbowman of the Ordnance Supervisor, this crossbow was made by the villain, six years ago." ”

"That's it! Everyone, please listen to me as I continue. ”

Zhang Yun smiled and drew everyone's attention back, and continued: "According to the records of the Ordnance Supervisor, this crossbow was allocated to An Lushan's Fan Yang Army in the first month of the tenth year of Tianbao, please read the records. ”

Zhang Yun held up a booklet, "This is the record of the Ordnance Supervision at that time, there is a crossbow number, there is the signature of the official at that time, it is clearly written, it is allocated to Fan Yang, but it is ....."

Speaking the word 'but', Zhang Yun's voice suddenly became higher, emphasizing this twist, indicating that there would be important information behind him.

"Although this batch of weapons was allocated to Fan Yangjun, they did not transport it, and it was too late to transport it, but it was recorded on the books, and the weapons were still stored in the warehouse of Weiwei Temple."

Zhang Yun's words were like a turning circle, which made the originally simple case suddenly become confusing, everyone straightened their waists and looked at Zhang Yun intently, even Wei Tao was attracted, his face changed several times, and his eyes revealed a kind of worry.

Zhang Yun slowly swept everyone, as if to let everyone digest the deep meaning of his words, and as if to satisfy everyone's appetite, he smiled and continued: "I think many people here still remember, what happened in February of the tenth year of Tianbao, who remembers?" ”

"It's Gao Xianzhi who was summoned to Nanzhao to rebel!" Yan Zhenqing, who had been silent, said.

"Yan Shilang is not wrong at all, in February of the tenth year of Tianbao, the first emperor appointed Gao Xianzhi as the envoy of Jiannan Festival, transferred 50,000 soldiers from Guanzhong, and recruited 30,000 troops, a total of 80,000 people, and went to Jiannan to replenish the troops.

Zhang Yun opened the scroll next to him and read aloud: "I hereby recruit 30,000 athletes from Guanzhong, with military uniforms and weapons, perform in Jingyuan, and go to Shu in April to ......"

Zhang Yun let go of his will and said with a smile: "Have you heard the clues?" Invest in military uniforms and weapons, that is to say, to arm this newly recruited army, where will the weapons that arm them come from, the problem is here! ”

Zhang Yun picked up another thick booklet and said loudly: "This is the registration book of the warehouse of Weiwei Temple, there are detailed records on it, all the weapons originally allocated to Fan Yang were transferred to the Jiannan Army, and the weapons of Fan Yang's army were supplemented, and among the numbers in it, there is this bow and crossbow." ”

Shi Po's shocking words stunned everyone, and everyone understood that this bow and crossbow was not from Fan Yangjun, but from Jiannan Army, in other words, the person who assassinated Pei Zunqing was not An Lushan, but Li Heng of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The hall was like a frying pan, the noise was noisy, and Zhang Yun distributed all the evidence, "Everyone, please take a look, this is ironclad evidence!" ”

'When! Pei Min rang a small bell, "Everyone, please be quiet!" ”

The conference hall suddenly fell silent again, and Pei Min said slowly: "Zhang Xiangguo has made the facts clear to everyone, and now the truth is revealed, the person who killed Pei Xiangguo was done by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court will show the world to condemn this despicable act, do you still have the right opinion?" ”

Everyone looked at Wei Tao together, Wei Tao's lips were about to bite and bleed, there were too many loopholes in this, he could easily refute it, who could prove that the crossbow machine was the one that shot Pei Zunqing? Who can prove that this is not someone else framing Li Heng? Would Lee Hyung be stupid enough to commit a crime with his own crossbow arrows? How did he know that the weapons were originally allocated to An Lushan at that time? These are big loopholes, but can he say it?

He read the book of the weapons supervisor on the throne, it was true, this was something taken away by the internal guards, how could it be in Zhang Yun's hands, it can only mean one thing, Zhang Yun's performance today is Li Qing'an's instructions, he is carrying out Li Qing'an's orders.

At this moment, Wei Tao felt like a puppet clown, jumping around on the stage, but the line was in the hands of others, and a shame that had never been felt before almost burst his heart, he could no longer restrain his blood and blood swelled, a stream of blood rushed to his brain, and blurted out: "I don't accept it!" ”

The hall was so quiet that he could hear clearly as if a needle had fallen, no one spoke, and looked at Wei Tao with a sympathetic or pitiful gaze, things have come to this point, what else does he have to fight for, Lu Huan sighed, pulled Wei Tao for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Wei Shangshu, don't say it anymore." ”

Pei Min asked again, "Wei Shangshu, do you want to say anything?" ”

Wei Tao waved his hand and said tiredly: "It's nothing, Zhang Xiangguo is right!" ”

"Well, this case is over, and the Zhongshu Province will draft the decree and spread it all over the world!"

At this moment, the voice of the Queen Mother Shen Pearl came from behind, "The mourning family also has a few words to say!" ”

She stood up, surrounded by Gong E, walked to the front desk, until she walked to the front, she glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Ministers, can you talk about the mourning family?" ”

Everyone bowed and saluted together, "Please give an order from the Queen Mother!" ”

Shen Pearl nodded, and said: "Pei Xiangguo has passed away, we should remember and remember, but the imperial court has its own program, and the government still has to continue, Zhang Xiangguo said very right just now, we are confronting the Southern Tang Dynasty, and we want to exterminate An Lushan's rebellion, the former army soldiers bravely serve the country, and we should be sincere and united, so that the government operates quickly and quickly, so that the military food goes to the front line early, so that the soldiers do not starve and freeze, but the current situation is not optimistic, the root of the mourning family is because of the empty hanging of the right phase, today I take this opportunity, the mourning family proposed that the left minister Zhang Yun succeed the right minister, In order to maintain the stability of the DPRK, this is just the words of mourning, and the right minister is a big matter, and it must be decided by the ministers through consultation. ”

Zhang Yun never dreamed that in the end, it would be the queen mother who announced him as the right minister, his mind turned very quickly, and suddenly understood Li Qing'an's painstaking arrangement, according to the practice of the emptiness of the upper position, the right minister and the political hall were elected by more than 100 officials of the fifth grade, which is why Wei Tao tried his best to win over the middle and lower-level officials.

But practice is not law, the law of the Tang Dynasty has always been appointed and dismissed by the emperor from the third rank or above, when the emperor is young, the queen mother can also designate the prime minister on behalf of the country, which is in line with legal principles, of course, the premise is that the queen mother must have enough power.

But in today's situation, Li Qingan just didn't want to take the path chosen by the hundred officials, so he used the deduction of the queen mother to designate him as the right minister, and the hundred officials could ignore the queen mother's designation, but who would oppose his Zhang Yun's performance just now?

There was silence in the hall, and finally Pei Min spoke first, "I am willing to obey the decree of the Queen Mother and support Zhang Xiangguo to succeed as the right prime minister." ”

Liu Yan also stood up and said: "Guoyi is said to be unstable, and I support Zhang Xiangguo as the right minister." ”

"I also support Zhang Xiangguo as the right minister." This is Yan Zhenqing's statement.

Almost in order, the ministers expressed their support one by one, and when it was Wei Tao's turn, he suddenly snorted heavily, turned around and walked away.

.......

In the Baqiao barracks, a group of cavalry galloped in from a distance, stopped a hundred paces away, and shouted: "I am Hu Peiyun, an internal guard, asking to see the general!" ”

The red flag fell on the camp gate, Hu Peiyun turned over and dismounted, led the horse and walked quickly to the camp, Hu Peiyun is the deepest person in the Anxi Army among the members of the Hidden Dragon Society, he has been an official from the third grade, the general of the internal guard, holding the intelligence power of the Anxi Army, is one of Li Qingan's most trusted henchmen, in the gold medal assigned by Li Qing'an to the generals, his gold medal number ranks fifth, second only to Duan Xiushi, Li Siye, Feng Changqing, Li Guangbi after the four, which shows Li Qing'an's trust in him.

But today, Hu Peiyun felt a little bitter in his heart, and he really felt Li Qingan's imperial mental technique.

At this time, it was noon, he walked quickly to the handsome tent, but learned that Li Qing'an was in the back of the sleeping tent, the sleeping tent is set by two large and small tents, and there is an inner tent inside, one is to keep warm, but more importantly, for safety, according to his identity, he can go directly into the outer tent of the dormitory.

As soon as he lifted the curtain and entered the outer tent, the two guards guarding the door of the inner tent hurriedly said, "Shhh He whispered, "The general hasn't woken up yet!" ”

Hu Peiyun was stunned, Li Qing'an had never slept until noon, "What's wrong?" He asked in a surprised whisper.

"The general entered the city last night and came back in the early morning."

"Oh!" Hu Peiyun didn't dare to ask more, and at this time, Li Qingan's somewhat tired voice came from the inner tent, "Who is outside?" ”

"General, it's me!"

"Come in!"

Hu Peiyun walked into the inner tent, there was only Li Qing'an in it, and there was no woman waiting for him, this is the difference between Li Qing'an and other princes, there are at least two women in the sleeping tent of other princes, and Li Qing'an never takes women into the barracks, this is his principle.

The light in the inner tent is very dim, filled with a faint fragrance, there is no gold and splendor, and there is no pearl and jade, just a thick Persian carpet, which is a gift from the Emperor of Great Food, there are a few cushions in it, and there is a fiery red fox skin on the cushion, this fire fox skin Hu Peiyun knows the origin, it was hunted by Duan Xiushi two years ago, dedicated to Li Qing'an, I didn't expect Li Qing'an to be used as a portable bunk to sleep, but Duan Xiushi was degraded, from the head of Anxi to the envoy of the Guannei Daojie.

Although Li Qingan degraded Duan Xiushi, he still used what he offered, from this little thing you can see Li Qingan's generous side, thinking of this, Hu Peiyun's heart A little dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace.

When he entered the tent, he bowed down and said, "See the general!" ”

Li Qingan was lying on top of the fire fox skin, he could see that his face was still tired, as if he had not woken up from sleep, he waved his hand and said, "How is the matter in the court?" ”

"Returning to the general, the political hall and the privy council have passed the proposal of the queen mother, and officially canonized Zhang Yun to take over as the right minister of the Zhongshu Order, and have issued an edict to the imperial court."

"Hmm!" Li Qingan didn't care much about this matter, which was expected by him, and he was obviously more concerned about Pei Zunqing's case.

"Is there a result in that case?"

"Returning to the general, the imperial court has determined that it was committed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and has sent a national condemnation to the Southern Tang Dynasty for its despicable act of assassinating Pei Zunqing."

"I'm not talking about the imperial court, I'm talking about you, have you had a result of your investigation?"

"Since the imperial court has come to a conclusion, there is no point in continuing to investigate the lowly position, and the lowly official specially implores the general to stop the investigation."

Li Qingan didn't speak, his eyes looked at him coldly, Hu Peiyun didn't explain anything, he believed that Li Qingan should understand what he meant.

In fact, Hu Peiyun has inadvertently found out the truth, last night, when he sorted out things for Zhang Yun according to Li Qing'an's order, he accidentally found that the bow and crossbow turned out to be his trophy, which was seized when he cleared An Lushan's spies in Chang'an two months ago, and there was this crossbow in the list at that time, and he searched hard for four or five days, and it turned out that this crossbow actually came from him.

But what shocked him even more was that this crossbow was handed over to Li Qing'an along with some of the trophies at that time, that is to say, the murderer's bow and crossbow came from Li Qing'an's hands, what does this mean, which made Hu Peiyun dare not think about it.

Early this morning, the truth of another clue also surfaced, and the wine that the murderer drank was also found out, this is Hu Peiyun's proudest place, his subordinates are incompetent, and they can find out the answer to what seems incredible to others, but this time the answer is difficult for him to accept, the murderer drank Sanle pulp that has been cellared for more than 30 years.

And Hu Peiyun knew that there was only one place in Chang'an where this kind of wine was available, the Atami Ju wine shop in the West Market, and the proprietor of the wine shop was Chang Jin, which was the stronghold of the Hidden Dragon Society in Chang'an.

If the secret of the bow and crossbow had not been discovered, Hu Peiyun might not have dared to believe that this case was related to the Hidden Dragon Society, what would the Hidden Dragon do when he killed Pei Zunqing? Maybe the thirty-year-old Sanle Pulp is just a coincidence, but now Hu Peiyun understands that Pei Zunqing was killed by the Hidden Dragon Society.

The tent was very quiet, so quiet that Hu Peiyun felt an invisible killing machine enveloping him, I don't know how long it took, this killing machine gradually disappeared, and Li Qingan's slightly tired voice sounded in the tent, "You can stop the investigation and seal it completely!" ”

"Yes!"

Hu Peiyun understood the meaning of this 'complete sealing', he bowed, slowly exited the big tent, and when he walked to the door of the big tent, he suddenly heard Li Qing'an say: "I remember that you are also a member of the Hidden Dragon Society!" ”

Hu Peiyun was shocked, he turned around slowly, Li Qingan's tired face showed a smile, this smile was like a ray of sunshine breaking through the dark clouds, which suddenly made Hu Peiyun's heart feel warm, an inexplicable move made his nose sour, nodded, and walked out quickly.

Li Qingan slowly closed his eyes, he was very tired, and wanted to sleep for a while, but he knew that he couldn't sleep anymore, Li Qingan sighed slightly, some things he had to do, Pei Zunqing did a little too much, did not abide by the rules of the game, for the interests of the family, regardless of the world's sideways, forcibly installed the Pei family's children as the Changshi or Sima of Qingzhou, Yuanzhou, Longzhou, and Yanzhou, these Li Qingan could bear it, but he didn't know how to restrain it, but intensified it, and even bought Zhao Yun of the Southern Tang Dynasty Rite Department, That is, Dugu Haoran's protΓ©gΓ©, framed Dugu Haoran for fornicating with Nantang, and his ambition swelled to such an extent, which made Li Qingan unbearable.

But no matter what, he had to go to Pei Zunqing's house in the afternoon and accompany Wan'er.

.......

Half an hour later, Li Qing'an returned to his house, and the whole family poured out of the door to greet him, just like a warrior welcoming the return of victory, Li Qing'an looked at his wife and daughter, and his heart was filled with an incomparable happiness.

"Daddy!"

The eldest daughter Li Siduo ran up with open arms, and it was her two-year-old birth in five days, Li Qingan picked her up, kissed her on the cheek, nodded her nose and smiled: "What do you want your father to give you?" ”

"Daddy, I want honey!"

Hearing that his daughter Baba asked for honey as a gift, Li Qingan couldn't help laughing, and then his son also ran up and hugged his legs, "Daddy, I want a gift too!" ”

Li Qing'an's son was officially named Li Tan when he was one year old, and was named the king of Yiwu County, he was only two months younger than Li Siduo, but he was eccentric, and all kinds of fancy ideas could come up from his little head.

Li Qingan also picked him up and asked with a smile, "Then what gift do you want?" ”

The little guy pointed to Li Qing'an's 10,000-mile chasing cloud horse and said, "I want Daddy's horse!" ”

"Hey, hey! You stinky boy thinks it's pretty beautiful, you want Daddy's war horse, that's good! Daddy will give you a pony to ride every day. ”

"Okay!" The little one clapped his hands with joy.

"Daddy, I don't want honey anymore, I want horses too."

Li Qing'an loved his baby daughter, pricked her little face with his beard, and said with a smile: "Daddy will also give you a horse." ”

"I want a big horse, bigger than my brother's horse."

At this time, Rushi smiled and hugged her daughter over, "Daddy is tired, let Daddy rest." ”

Mingyue also stepped forward with a big belly and said to her son: "Don't make trouble, come down quickly." ”

Li Tan was favored by his aunts, but he was very afraid of his mother, so he obediently got off Li Qing'an and was taken aside by the picturesque.

Mingyue was already about to give birth, and it was very difficult to walk, she stepped forward and said with a smile: "You don't say a word in advance when you come back, Wuyi just took the child to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to make a vow." ”

Wuyi's adopted daughter is the orphan daughter left behind by Zhang Yue, who was named the county lord of Jinman, and is also the daughter of Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an asked: "Do they get along well with mother and daughter?" ”

"When the child first came, he made a fuss for a few days, clamoring for his aunt, and then slowly got used to it, and the day before yesterday he suddenly put his arms around the neck of the dancing clothes and shouted, 'Mother!' Tears came out of the dance clothes, and the child was very sensible, which made people feel distressed. ”

"Hmmm! How's your body? ”

"Come on! I have given birth to a child, I know, the problem is not big, the fetal position of the child is very positive, by the way, I was about to write to tell you that Wan'er is also pregnant, and half a month ago, the imperial doctor diagnosed her as Ximai. ”

Li Qingan nodded, in fact, he already knew that it was precisely because Wan'er was pregnant that Pei Zunqing would be so crazy, Mingyue saw that there was no ecstasy on her husband's face, and said in astonishment: "You know? ”

"That Imperial Doctor Zhang said it, you know that my intelligence network has always been very strong."

Mingyue nodded silently and said, "Her grandfather's matter hit her hard, you go and comfort her!" ”

Only then did Li Qingan find out that Pei Wan'er was not there, and couldn't help asking, "What about Wan'er?" ”

"She's in her room, I've ordered someone to tell her you're back!"

......

Pei Wan'er's residence is called East Garden, it is a quiet and elegant courtyard, which is also Mingyue took into account her family background and specially arranged for her, a little bigger than the Qin Siyuan of dance clothes, the yard is full of all kinds of orchids, orchids are Pei Wan'er's favorite, a clump of green bamboo surrounds the small building where she lives, it is particularly quiet and elegant, Pei Wan'er has four maids, all of them are personal maids she brought from her mother's house, and entered the palace of King Zhao, according to the convention, the four maids have recovered their free bodies, but this is of little meaning to them, They grew up with Pei Wan'er since they were children, and they have long regarded her as their master.

"Girl, the master is here!"

As soon as Li Qingan walked into the courtyard, Bai Lan, one of the four maids, shouted, she was still used to calling Wan'er a girl.

Pei Wan'er ran out of the house, her eyes were red, and when she saw Li Qing'an coming, she rushed forward and plunged into Li Qing'an's arms, tears rolling down.
