Hua Lao Han even claimed that it was, and then said sadly: "The old man remembered that it was the third day, and it happened to rain that day, and the water accumulated in the field, so he couldn't get off the ground, so the old man accompanied his wife at home." I remember that it was almost lunch time, Xiahou eldest prince led the family to the grass people's house, and when he entered the door, he said that he wanted to buy the old man's land for 500 yuan, where was the old man willing to buy, but the eldest prince Xiahou asked the old man to wait, and one day let the old man I have a kneeling time to beg him. Caomin didn't care too much at that time, after all, Xiahou's family was a big family, and his mind shouldn't be so narrow-minded. ”

Xiahou Jiye, the head of the Xiahou family, stood still, still looking light, smiling and squinting.

Wu Qing snorted coldly in his heart and asked, "How long is it between the time the eldest prince of Xiahou sends the money to the accident of your Hua family?" During this period, did the Xiahou family obstruct it? ”

Hua Laohan sighed and said, "Lord Hui, from the time the eldest prince of Xiahou went to the grass people's house to my eldest son's accident, it was two years and nine months. A lot has happened. After the eldest prince of Xiahou left that day, the old man knew that the good days of the Hua family were over, but he didn't expect that it would come so quickly. ”

Wu Qing said: "You should state in detail, the main book has been recorded, and the record can be supervised." ”

"Yes, Thorn History!" The Lord Bo and the Recorder agreed.

So Hua Laohan told everything that happened in the future.

Less than half a month after the eldest prince of Xiahou left, all the chickens and ducks of Hua Laohan's family were poisoned. In another month, the Yishui next to the Hua family's field broke, and Hua Laohan's ten hectares of fertile land were flooded, and the Hua family had a poor harvest this year. In March, four oxen of Hua Laohan's family died. Hua Laohan also suffered a lawsuit for this and was fined 100 times. In fact, it is less than ten times to buy a ploughing cow. In the spring ploughing of the second year, Hua Laohan bought ploughing cattle again. As a result, that night, Hua Laohan's house caught fire, a house was burned to the ground, and Hua Laohan's wife was also burned alive. The old man sued the official, and the county government should not be, insisting that it was caused by burning the fire and forgetting to extinguish the fire. It's not arson. The Hua family still has some savings, and after the funeral for his wife. A few thatched houses were built on the same site. Because there were no cattle, half of the fields were left barren without time to be cultivated.

Not long after, the well water in the courtyard of the Hua family was poisoned. If it weren't for the timely treatment, Hua Laohan's third son would have been poisoned. The three sons of the Hua family couldn't see it anymore, so they went to the river to fish and sell fish in the market. was smashed by the Xiahou family or the ruffians who obeyed the orders of the Xiahou family. Until I went to the old flower family, the eldest child spent 100 years to Chunxianglou for one night. owed a debt of 50,000 yuan, and soon there was an incident of Xiahou's dog letting the dog bite someone to death, and it didn't take long for the Hua family to be put in prison by Zhang County.

At this point, the Hua family was completely ruined, and the land property was confiscated and assigned to the name of the Xiahou family.

Hua Laohan cried, which immediately caused the people to cry, but some people felt that Hua Laohan was slandering the head of Xiahou's family.

The old face of the head of the Xiahou family was gone, and he looked at Wu Qing.

Wu Qing smiled: "What does the head of the Xiahou family say? ”

Xiahou Jiye said: "There is no evidence. Did my Xiahou family do those things? Xiao Lao'er believes that the Xiahou family will never be able to do such a thing. ”

"Xiahou Lao'er. Do you still have a face, my daughter was robbed to your house by your second son, it's been half a month, whether it's dead or alive, you tell me. Lord Assassin Shi, the women of the people are wronged! ”

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman in a cloth skirt fell to her knees at the bottom of the hall, tears in her eyes.

Wu Qing sneered in his heart, it seemed that not all the people had been deceived by the Xiahou family, so he asked, "What grievances do you have, tell me carefully!" ”

I only heard the woman crying: "The folk woman Yang Guo, her first husband died early, leaving a daughter called Xiao'e, although the folk women and daughters are not as knowledgeable as everyone else's ladies, but they are also Bing Xue smart and can be diligent and thrifty. Half a month ago, the woman and the little girl Xiao'e went to the Golden Buddha Temple to make incense and make a vow, out of the Golden Buddha Temple, they were surrounded by the Xiahou family, the women and the little girl were the opponents of those rough men, they snatched Xiao'e to the carriage, it turned out that there was another person in the carriage, it was the second son of the Xiahou family. The woman stepped forward to theorize, and was beaten half to death, if it weren't for the fact that there was a Lang Zhong passing by, the woman would have already returned to Huangquan. A few days ago, the woman got out of bed and went to the Xiahou Mansion to look for her daughter, and the Xiahou family let the dog bite the woman. The women went to the county government to complain, but they were driven out by the officials, and the women were already desperate, but they took pity on my daughter, why is she so miserable. ”

This is another tragic scene, some people among the people are already angry, and those who are still speaking for Xiahou's family are also suspicious.

Wu Qing sneered, looked at the head of the Xiahou family, and did not speak, the head of the Xiahou family said: "Wu Thorn History, can you take the step to speak?" ”

Wu Qing smiled: "Why not. ”

So Wu Qing went to the inner room, and Xiahou Jiye followed. When he arrived inside, Wu Qing smiled and looked at this old man who knew the world well.

Xiahou Jiye entered the house and hurriedly said, "Xiahou Jiye has seen the history of assassination. ”

"Okay, let's do without the common rites, let's say, what's the matter?" Wu Qing got straight to the point, not wanting to waste time, because there were still people watching in the court, and there were still prisoners waiting for him to try.

Xiahou Jiye said: "One hundred thousand, twenty hectares of fertile land, three manors. ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, Xiahou Jiye was really generous, no matter which one was an official, he was not unmoved, just imagine, a small family can use several generations to save enough 100,000 yuan of family wealth, and then buy 20 hectares of fertile land, plus three manors?

Looking at Wu Qing's expression, Xiahou Jiye sneered in his heart, I am afraid that you will not be tempted, I am afraid that such conditions can be tempted by the gods. But as long as you eat it, you won't be able to eat and walk around!

Hahaha!

Wu Qing laughed, the sound shook the beams of the house, even above the public court, it was clearly audible, and some sensible people couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this Lord Assassin is not a fair and honest official.

"Get out! Get out! ”

Suddenly, Wu Qing's angry voice came from the inside, and there was even the sound of tables and chairs shattering.

After a while, Xiahou Jiye came out with a red face, and behind him was Wu Qing, who had a gloomy face, and ignored Xiahou Jiye, slowly sat down in the hall, and reprimanded loudly: "The head of the Xiahou family used 100,000 pieces of family wealth, 20 hectares of fertile land, and three manors to buy this official. You say, 'Should I say yes?' ”

Suddenly, there was a sigh in the lobby.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I can't agree!"

"At this time, my lord, you can agree!"

For a time, there was constant noise in the courtroom.

Syllable!

Shocked Tang Mu took a picture, Wu Qing said sharply: "Wu Mou, as an official of the imperial court, is deeply favored by the emperor, and is the assassin of a state, and he should be a shepherd and guard the side, and govern this land for the emperor." This is the duty of the Assassin History. However, is it because this person used such a huge amount of money to bribe Wu because he couldn't withstand the temptation, or did Wu have no ability to govern Xuzhou well, so that these imperial moths took advantage of the loopholes? This is my fault! ”

"Someone!" Wu Qing shouted.

Heizi had already cut off the jailer's head, stood on Wu Qing's side, and when he heard Wu Qing shouting, he immediately bowed down and said, "What does the master command?" ”

Wu Qing was depressed for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Give you three hundred men and horses, and immediately arrest all the men of the Xiahou family!" Record the matter of joining the army, immediately seize all the houses, fields, and shops of the Xiahou family, and they should be sealed up, and they will be disposed of after the case is closed! ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Wu Thorn Shi, you can't!" Only then did Xiahou Jiye realize that Wu Qing was not joking with him, but was really going to use the knife!

"Someone is coming, please go to the dungeon to rest in the dungeon!" Wu Qing stared at Xiahou Jiye coldly.

Suddenly, there was a shout of joy from the people.

Wu Qing said: "The three members of the Hua family will be imprisoned for the time being, and after the case is settled, a separate verdict will be made." Yang Guoshi will go back for the time being, as soon as there is news about this case, Ben Assassin Shi will send someone to inform you, and you will be summoned at any time! Others, if they have grievances, they can all complain, and this assassin history is your master! ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the street, and only someone could be heard shouting: "The emperor has died, announce it to the world!" ”

"The death of the emperor is a proclamation to the world!"

In an instant, Wu Qing's already standing up body froze in place, and then cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!" ”

Then he fainted, and the lords exclaimed, rushed to Wu Qing's side, pinched the people, and went to invite Langzhong. There was chaos in the lobby.

The people didn't know what the emperor was like, so there was not much surprise or sadness. People of insight also knew what it meant to die, so they knelt down and bowed in the direction of Luoyang Jingshi.

When Lang Zhong walked into the hall quickly, Wu Qing coughed violently for a while, then opened his eyes, looked at the beams of the room, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and couldn't help crying again, "Your Majesty, it is the crime of the ministers who can't serve the left and right." ”

"Lord Thorn Shi, the death of the Emperor is a big deal, please preside over the memorial in the city as soon as possible!" There is a Lord's Bo persuasion.

Wu Qing thought for a moment and said: "What Lord Bo said is exactly what Wu has lost his temper. Then he got up and said: "The saint died, as a subject, we should pay tribute to the emperor, and keep filial piety for the emperor for three months, the people of Xuzhou are all wearing plain clothes, and casinos, brothels and other places where all kinds of dramas should be closed for business." ”

After the order was finished, he asked the record to join the army and sit in the county government to deal with the aftermath first, and he himself went out of the county office, got into a carriage, and headed towards the assassin's mansion.

When I arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, there was already a messenger waiting.

first showed Wu Qing the obituary of the emperor's death, and then said in a low voice: "Wu Thorn History, the Queen Mother has a secret decree!" ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then took the secret decree, and without looking at it, he asked the two envoys to eat and rest. Only then did he arrive at the study, and after sitting down, he slowly opened the secret decree of the Queen Mother.

After a while, Wu Qing closed the secret decree, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and couldn't help but think, is there a revolution and a change being staged in Luoyang Palace City at this time? Or will Empress Dowager Wu not succeed because of her own crossing? (To be continued......)
