Ao Lie left the Wei Mansion, and after meeting with Zhao Yun and Ma Chao not far away, the group came to the Cai Mansion together. Swap out your nightcoats, burn them all, and collect iconic weapons like the crossbow. In this way, even if someone suspects Ao Lie, there will be no evidence to be found.

At the same time, there was a commotion in the general's mansion. Being woken up in the middle of the night is an unpleasant thing in itself, not to mention that after being woken up, you have to accept the bad news that your own brother was killed. He Jin was only wearing a small coat, and he was thunderous in the room, and the rare antiques placed in the room were like worthless clods of soil on the side of the road, which were smashed by He Jin one by one.

He Jin seemed to be crazy, throwing antiques to vent his anger, and at the same time shouting: "Who is it? Who killed a certain second brother? Don't let someone know who you are, otherwise, no matter what your background is, someone will inevitably break you into pieces!! I'm angry!! ”

The maids and servants on the side were frightened by He Jin's crazy appearance, for fear that they would be angry with He Jin if they were not careful. One by one, their heads were lowered, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of air.

At this time, a middle-aged scribe walked into the room, looked at the angry He Jin, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he stood aside with his head down.

Seeing this middle-aged scribe come in, He Jin suppressed the anger in his heart a little, and asked in a deep voice, "Wenhe, have you ever found out who assassinated my brother?" "It turned out that the person who came turned out to be Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who is known as a poisonous man! At this time, Jia Xu served as a military commander under He Jin's account.

Jia Xu smiled and bent down to hand over a crossbow arrow, and said, "General, please see, this is the only clue left at the scene." He Jin picked up the crossbow arrow and looked at it, and then shouted angrily: "Isn't this just a small arrow, what's so peculiar?" ”

Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "The Great Surprise Army, the official army of the Central People's Republic of China, whether it is the Xiyuan Eighth Captain Army, or the Royal Forest Army, is equipped with a big yellow crossbow, and the crossbow used is a little longer than this one, so the lower officials concluded that the person who assassinated the Che Cai General was not a person from Luoyang City." ”

"Oh?" He Jin listened to Jia Xu's analysis and felt that this was indeed the case, so the irritability in his heart was also suppressed a lot, and he asked, "Then who do you say will do it?" Jia Xu pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Recently, I came to Luoyang City, and I have a deep grudge with the Wei family, and I have the ability to kill eighty-six members of the Wei family overnight, and those who have crossbows in their hands should also think about it carefully, who will have this strength?" Jia Xu is worthy of the name of a poisonous man, and with a simple analysis, he basically locked the target. And Jia Xu is a person who is deeply aware of the essence of self-preservation, he only speaks for seven points, and the remaining three points for He Jin to think about himself, not only has an explanation for He Jin, but also does not damage He Jin's face, so that He Jin can easily guess who the murderer is on the basis of his own reasoning.

"It was him! Hmph, does he think that with the title of an imperial nephew, he can do whatever he wants? He Jin had obviously guessed that it was Ao Lie who did it.

Jia Xu pinched his beard and said softly: "Da shock, there is a certain sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

After He Jin knew who the murderer was, he transferred all his anger to Ao Lie, so his tone to Jia Xu seemed much calmer: "It's okay to say it. ”

Jia Xu organized the language in his heart, and then said: "In the current form, the main enemy of the general is still the eunuch headed by Zhang Rang, so I think that the general should temporarily endure it, put the murderer aside for the time being, and use power to deal with the eunuch party in order to make a big plan." ”

Listening to Jia Xu's words, He Jin said angrily: "What are you talking about!" My brother was assassinated, and with such a sea of blood and hatred, how could he sit idly by and let that guy get away with it? I've made up my mind, and you don't have to say any more. ”

Jia Xu didn't say anything when he heard this, he bent down and saluted: "Everything is decided by the general, and the subordinate will retire." ”

Out of the room, Jia Xu looked up at the night sky, and sighed secretly: Alas, such an arrogant and intolerant person can also get into the position of a general, so he should find a way to get out as soon as possible, so as not to be dragged down by this butcher in the future. To that Ao Huwei, young but courageous, he will be a hero in the long run.

The next day, the 86 members of the Wei family, together with the news of the death of the cavalry general He Miao, spread all over the place, and for a while, the city was full of storms. Of course, many ordinary people applauded, Wei Zhen relied on He Jin's power, but he did not oppress the good, and there were countless women who were ruined by him. So as soon as Wei Zhen died, the people happily ran to tell each other, and they almost celebrated with firecrackers. As for the sons of those families who are similar to Wei Zhen on weekdays, they are all worried and dare not go out of the house for half a step, for fear that their heads will disappear.

Ao Lie had the same look as a troublemaker, still the same as usual, and came to the North Palace where Liu Xie lived early in the morning and began to explain the Spring and Autumn Period to Liu Xie.

In the Deyang Hall of the Imperial Palace, the general He Jin said indignantly: "Qi Shengshang, last night the Wei family was killed in the eighty-six people, and my brother He Miao, the general of the Che Cavalry, also died in the Wei Mansion, after a night of investigation, the minister has found evidence, confirming that last night's tragedy was committed by General Huwei and the loyal Hou Aolie, and please preside over justice!" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Could the general be mistaken? Liu Hong said with some skepticism. In the tone, there was a hint of exculpating Ao Lie. He didn't want to let his favored imperial nephew get involved with this kind of thing, besides, what if Ao Lie did it? How many people did my imperial nephew kill, what's the big deal? If it weren't for He Miao's death, Liu Hong wouldn't even bother to care about it.

It's a pity that He Jin is such a rough person, how can he understand the meaning of Liu Hong's words? Even if he did, I'm afraid he would pretend not to understand.

He Jin said loudly: "Please give an edict to the saint and let Ao Huwei confront the palace, and the evidence that the minister will come up later will definitely leave him speechless!" ”

Zhang Rang, who was standing behind Liu Hong, was afraid that Liu Hong would be soft-hearted, so he would fool this matter, so he leaned over to Liu Hong and whispered: "On the body, there is a way that the body is not afraid of the shadow crooked, why not let Ao Huwei go to the palace to confront the general?" In terms of the treatment of Ao Lie, He Jin and Zhang Rang had the same opinion for the first time in their lives.

On the side of Wenchen, Taifu Yuan Kui was originally under the soft grinding and hard bubble of his son Yuan Shu in the past few days, and promised to find an opportunity to save face for Yuan Shu, and teach Ao Lie a hard lesson, seeing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he immediately went out of class and said: "Shengshang, as far as the old minister knows, Ao Huwei is indeed at odds with Wei Zhen, the son of the Wei family, and the two even fought in the Phoenix Building yesterday, which many people have seen with their own eyes. ”

Seeing that whether it was He Jin of the family of relatives, Zhang Rang of the eunuch faction, or even Yuan Kui, who was loyal to him, suggested summoning Ao Lie to the palace, Liu Hong had no choice, and secretly hated himself for being too ridiculous before, so that the power was lost, otherwise how could these people dare to be so rude?

In desperation, Liu Hong had no choice but to ask Zhang Rang: "Where is Emperor Ao Lie's nephew now?" Zhang Rang hurriedly replied: "I am teaching Chen Liuwang to read Spring and Autumn in Beigong." Stretching out his hand and rubbing his forehead, Liu Hong said a little helplessly: "Then let Emperor Ao Lie's nephew come to the main hall." Zhang Rang replied in a low voice, and then asked the guards to go to the North Palace to bring Ao Lie to Deyang Palace.

It didn't take long for Ao Lie to stride into the Deyang Hall with his head held high, and said: "Ao Lie, nephew, see the saint." ”

Before Liu Hong could speak, He Jin stepped to Ao Lie's side, and looked at Ao Lie's eyes, which could almost burst into flames: "Ao Huwei!" Ao Junhou! Ao Taishou! How daring! dared to commit murder in Luoyang City and brutalize the eighty-six members of the Wei family! What is the crime? ”

Ao Lie's events last night would leak sooner or later, but he didn't expect He Jin to find him so quickly, obviously He Jin had a master behind him. But Ao Lie's face was not fearful, and he asked rhetorically, "Oh? Since the general said that so-and-so was the murderer, but I don't know what evidence there is? ”

He Jin took out a crossbow bolt from his sleeve, handed it to Ao Lie's eyes, and asked sharply, "This crossbow arrow, you must be very familiar with it, right?" ”

recognized that it was the crossbow shot by his subordinates' hand crossbows, but Ao Lie's face was silent, he didn't even move the corners of his eyes, and said indifferently: "Is this the evidence of the great general?" Just by relying on this crossbow arrow, you can decide that someone is a murderer? Hehe, it's ridiculous, is there a name on this crossbow? Who saw that this crossbow bolt was shot out of a certain way? Everyone in the world knows that a certain is good at bows and arrows, not crossbow arrows, so the saint is given a bow with a treasure carving bow, if the general insists that this crossbow arrow is shot by a certain person, I'm afraid it is biased, right? ”

He Jin is a butcher who has never learned a few words, how can he be a sharp opponent of Ao Lie? was asked by Ao Lie, and he was speechless for a while, and finally had to copy Jia Xu's original words: "The crossbow arrows used by the Imperial Forest Army in the palace and the Eighth Captain Army of the West Garden are all rhubarb crossbows, which are three inches longer than this crossbow arrow, excluding these armies, in Luoyang City today, the most likely person to have crossbow arrows is you Ao Huwei!" ”

Ao Lieha laughed: "It turns out that the evidence that General He said is all the conclusions you have drawn through speculation!" Luoyang is the Kyoto of my Han Dynasty, where famous families gather, which one does not have diners and private soldiers? Why do you say that this crossbow is owned by a subordinate? Also, as a general, you actually suspect the Imperial Forest Army and the Eighth Captain Army of the West Garden, is this a disguised questioning of the saint? Dare to ask what is the intention of the general? ”

was ridiculed by Ao Lie, He Jin's cold sweat immediately flowed, knelt on the ground and said: "The saint clearly sees that the minister does not have any heart of disobedience, and the minister is loyal to the saint!" ”

Liu Hong looked at He Jin with a cold face, and said in a cold voice: "He Jin, as a general, you haven't figured out what is going on, so you ran to the main hall to slander my imperial nephew, and even suspected my Imperial Forest Army and other troops, are you guilty?!" ”

He Jin kowtowed again and again, hitting the floor of the hall Peng Peng: "The minister is guilty, it is the minister who lost his mind because of the grief of losing his brother, so he didn't check for a while, and almost misunderstood General Huwei. ”

Seeing He Jin's appearance, Liu Hong couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, no matter what, He Jin was his concubine's brother after all, and he didn't want to embarrass him too much. So he said in a deep voice: "That's it, this matter is over, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future." Let's retreat. ”

Seeing that Liu Hong let go of He Jin so easily, Ao Lie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although his uncle of the Son of Heaven had the intention to rectify the dynasty, his ears were too soft, and he was easily coaxed. In contrast, Liu Xie was stronger than his father.

Walking out of the Deyang Palace, Ao Lie came to the North Palace again, and saw Liu Xie waiting for him at the door, and when he saw himself coming, Liu Xie hurriedly ran over and asked, "Brother Huang, how is it?" It's all right, right? I sent someone to inquire just now, and that hateful He Jin dared to slander the imperial brother, which really deserved death. It's a pity that his father's heart was too soft, so he let him go so easily. ”

Ao Lie smiled: "It's okay, it's worrying you." ”

After the two entered the room, Ao Lie asked with a smile: "By the way, do you know what staff members are around Lu Dao He Jin?" What He Jin said in the main hall today didn't seem like he had come up with it. ”

Liu Xie tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly patted his thigh and said: "I remember, there is a middle-aged strategist next to He Jin, who seems to be called Jia Xu, and the characters are harmonious, I heard that others call him a poisoner." ”

It turned out to be him! It's no wonder that not everyone can easily analyze what happened based on a crossbow arrow. I'm afraid that only this poison Jia Xu can do it in Luoyang City.

With a mysterious smile on his face, Ao Lie said softly to Liu Xie: "To tell you a secret, in fact, He Miao, along with the eighty-six members of the Wei family, were all killed. ”

Liu Xie's small mouth immediately turned into an "O" shape, and then he came to his senses, pretended to be nothing, picked up a book and said, "I haven't heard anything, let's hurry up and finish today's homework." ”

Ao Lie scolded with a smile: "People are small and big!" Then he began to explain the Spring and Autumn Period to Liu Xie.

The sun slanting in the sky, with a warm sunshine, shone on this pair of cousins, looking warm and harmonious.
