Riding a horse on the way to Taishou Mansion, Liu Yu suddenly felt that he was becoming less and less "human", after the chaos in Dongning Mansion, his first thought was not to deal with the culprit, but to go to the Women's Society to meet those female students.

Cao Yi's matter gave Liu Yu a great stimulus, with power, he has everything, and he can do whatever he wants. This is an indescribable temptation for anyone, and in order to maintain power, it is necessary to constantly create struggles and killings, and slowly lose themselves in "humanity".

Thinking of this, Liu Yue couldn't help but sigh.

He also knew that the "arrangement" that Qu Zhu said was not the same thing as the "arrangement" he wanted. He suddenly felt that it was time to cultivate an obedient, sensible and traitorous minister by his side.

At this time, the sky was just bright, and the sun was rising in the east, bringing a glorious color of Dongning Mansion. The streets and alleys were under martial law, and many people who got up early did not know what had happened in the city last night, and many people crowded around the alleys to check outside, but they did not dare to step out of the alleys. As the people of this era, they know very well the rules of the game and how to stay out of the way.

There was a lot of security in front of the Taishou Mansion, and when Liu Yu drove the horse to arrive, the guards came out to greet him, Liu Yu handed over the reins of the horse to the guards, and was about to enter the door, when he saw a person in a pale red official uniform locked in the corner of the door, he was shivering like he was shivering, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Liu Yu.

At first glance, there is a treacherous appearance.

The man tried to come, but was stopped by the guards.

"Who?" Liu Yu pointed to the man and asked Lian Husheng, the commander of the guards.

Lian Husheng was the captain of the original Liu Yu's guard, and now he is in charge of the commander of the first division of the guard in the new army.

Lian Husheng said: "It's Liao Mingsheng, the county lieutenant of Taikang County, Dongning Prefecture, who said that he came to offer treasures. ”

Liu Yu pondered for a moment. There is one county and twelve counties under the rule of Dongning Province. Because what Liu Yu wants to eradicate this time is the people of the Confucian official line. Anyone who has nothing to do will not be held accountable, so this Liao Mingsheng should still be his county lieutenant.

"Let him come." Liu Yu stepped forward with a horsewhip.

After Liao Mingsheng was allowed by the guards, he walked over with a box, and bowed before he got close to Liu Yu, shouting "Chitose" in his mouth. After Liu Yu was crowned king, no one had ever been commensurate with this title, and even Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard it.

"You are Liao Mingsheng, the county lieutenant of Taikang County?" Liu Yu stopped and asked.

"Chitose actually knows the name of Lu Dao's humble position, which is really a humble honor. Humble Liao Qing, the word Mingsheng, ancestral home Shanyin, tired officials to Taikang County as the county lieutenant, today I am here to offer treasure to you for a thousand years old. Liao Mingsheng spoke, raised the box with both hands above his head, and kept bowing.

Liu Yu thought about it, this Liao Mingsheng is close to forty years old, and he only became a county lieutenant when he was tired, that is, he was born in a non-imperial examination. And there are many such officials on the ground in Huaibei Province, and it is difficult to be promoted without any special relationship.

"Check it out. Hand it over. Liu Yu pointed at the box in Liao Mingsheng's hand with a horsewhip.

The guard took the box, inspected it inside and out, and then presented the box to Liu Yu, inside the box was a white jade bowl with a large mouth, although it could not be called mutton fat white jade, but it was also regarded as the middle and upper grade of white jade, and the color was very moist.

"Good thing, it cost a lot of silver, right?" Liu Yu looked at the sunlight and asked.

"Don't dare to deceive Chitose, it cost six thousand taels of silver."

Liu Yu nodded, with Liu Yue's understanding of the market, Liao Mingsheng did not overreport or underreport, this thing is not much to check, that is, less than 10,000 taels, 5,000 taels can not be bought, and with Liao Mingsheng is official, he bought it with 6,000 taels, which is not a loss or even a little profit, it should be the seller's "love".

"You are a county lieutenant, and your annual salary is only four hundred taels, plus some other income, even if you don't eat or drink for ten years to buy this thing, right?" Liu Yu asked with a slight sneer.

The reason why Liu Yu is dissatisfied is because nine times out of ten the people who come to "offer treasures" are corrupt officials who act arbitrarily.

"Chitose Mingjian, the humble post only did one term as a county magistrate, one term as a county lieutenant, a total of only six years, just rely on Yulu really can't buy it, the villain is to sell the ancestral land in exchange for this treasure to give Chitose. If you want to investigate, you can go to your humble hometown to investigate. ”

Liu Yu showed a look of "underestimate you" on his face, put the white jade bowl back in the box, and said with a faint smile: "Ah, then the county lieutenant of Liao really has a heart." ”

Liao Mingsheng hurriedly said: "I can serve Chitose and die with all my might." If you don't take your ancestral property with you, you have no children under your knees, and you can't pass it on, so it's better to honor you and solve your urgent need for a thousand years old......."

Liu Yu was slightly surprised: "What is the urgent need?" ”

Liao Mingsheng kowtowed and said: "Humble nonsense, humble nonsense." When he heard that Chitose received money on the way to the patrol, he expected that Chitose wanted to raise money for the disaster relief march, so he had the courage to come to offer treasure and wanted to contribute to Chitose you. ”

Liu Yuxin said that it was a bit interesting, along the way, even Xu Xuanzhu only knew his purpose of accumulating wealth after he told the truth, and other dignitaries came to give gifts, which was nothing more than the bad habits of officialdom. Only this Liao Mingsheng can not only figure out his intentions, but also dare to say it to his face, which is actually conveying a meaning to Liu Yu: the lowly will do things.

Liu Yu smiled, and said in his heart that he really wanted to come to something, and he wanted to cultivate a "traitor" on the way, and now the model of "traitor" was sent to the door.

"Okay, Liao County Lieutenant's mind, this king has it. Don't go back to Taikang County, let's do some miscellaneous work with this king first, no problem, right? ”

Liao Mingsheng looked surprised, and immediately thanked him: "Humble thanks for Chitose's appreciation." ”

"Don't thank you first, if you want to beg for food by the king's side, you have to have the ability, the king has three things on hand now, the first thing, you go to help the king first."

Liao Mingsheng glanced at Liu Yu, Liu Yu didn't seem to have any hints, and at this time Liu Yu had already gone straight to the gate of Taishou Mansion. Liao Ming was dumbfounded when he ascended, and said in his heart that he was going to guess the dumb riddle?

Liu Yu took two steps, suddenly stopped again, and said to the deputy leader of the guard on the side: "You went to the women's school in the south of the city with the county lieutenant Liao, what is the matter, temporarily listen to the dispatch of the county lieutenant Liao." As for Commander Qu's side, let him come back first. ”

Liao Mingsheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, first knelt on the ground and thanked him again, and then went to the south of the city with the deputy leader of the guard and a large group of guards.

Liu Yu and Lian Husheng entered the Taishou Mansion together, at this time the security in the Taishou Mansion was more tight, and the Taishou Mansion from the Taishou Linghui down, a large group of officials were taken off their official uniforms and hats, and were tied to the wooden pole by the five flowers to wait for disposal, Liu Yu could still hear a few shouts and scolding after entering the door, and when Liu Yu walked to the wooden pole, these officials were silent one by one. At this time, Liu Yu's face was pitch black, and the clouds were shrouded as if he would kill someone at any time.

"Your Royal Highness, what does this mean?" When Ling Hui saw Liu Yu, he asked in a fierce voice.

Liu Yu smiled coldly and said, "Could it be that Ling Taishou doesn't know what happened in the city last night?" ”

"The surnamed Niu has not been summoned, and he dares to lead troops to the palace to escort him, that's his business, what does it have to do with me guarding the mansion?"

Liu Yu smiled again: "What a sentence of escort, did Ling Taishou forget why Captain Niu went to escort?" ”

"Assassin ......"

As soon as Ling Hui spoke, he immediately stopped talking, and he seemed to understand the key to Liu Yu's entire conspiracy.

Before Liu Yu himself said about the "assassin", Niu Lu felt that this was an opportunity, anyway, the assassin in the palace was well known, so he could use this as a reason to lead the soldiers of the garrison battalion to "escort", so that the soldiers of the garrison camp would not feel cheating, and whether he went to "escort" or "assassinated" was to say that the public was justified and the mother said that the mother was reasonable.

But last night, Niu Lu was defeated in one fell swoop, not to mention the embarrassment of defeat, and exposed all his wolf ambitions, and he was already inevitably accused of "assassination". Ling Hui was about to put aside his relationship with him now, pretending not to know anything. It wasn't until Liu Yu induced him to say "assassin" that he suddenly remembered that the assassin Liu Yu said had confessed to Ling Hui's instructions. This statement said yesterday that some people may suspect that it is not true, but after Niu Lu's assassination, who would dare to question what the assassin said?

Ling Hui finally knew why Liu Yu hadn't investigated the assassin in detail two days ago, it turned out that he had set a trap for them to drill, and he and Niu Lu could be wiped out afterwards. In the Dashun Dynasty, as long as the "rebellion" was involved, the matter could be expanded, and Liu Yu's goal of cleaning up Confucian officials and Confucians was also achieved.

At this time, Liu Yu's expression was calm, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Take the assassin's confession!" ”

The guards hurriedly handed over the assassin's confession that had been prepared a long time ago, Liu Yu opened the confession and showed it in front of Ling Hui, and then smiled: "Ling Taishou still has something to say?" ”

"This is a false accusation! I've never sent any assassins......"

"I'd better leave this truth to the judge." Liu Yu turned to look at Ling Hui's subordinates and said with a smile, "Now that your opportunity has come, whether you are willing to atone for your sins depends on your choice." There is merit in reporting, and concealing it will die, and that's probably it. ”

Liu Yu finished speaking very easily, and asked the guards to detain these people in solitary confinement and use them to confess.

Ling Hui, who was escorted down, kept shouting and scolding, but he was also loudly reminding his subordinates: "Don't believe the words of this wolf's ambitious person, don't be a sinner......

Liu Yue pursed his lips disdainfully, it seemed that this Ling Hui had not understood his own situation until he died. If it weren't for Ling Hui's courage and strategy, Liu Yu would not have been able to tear his mouth so easily in the Confucian officialdom of Huaibei Province.

Liu Yu waited in the Taishou Mansion for a while, and after a while, he received a report from the guards, saying that someone had chosen to "atone for his crimes" and decided to report Ling Hui and Niu Lu for colluding with him to rebel. Liu Yu probably guessed this result, in the face of death, not everyone can preserve the "integrity".

Liu Yu asked the guards to ask these people to confess and draw a prisoner, and in less than an hour, there were as many as five or six people who chose to confess. Not everyone said the truth, because the relationship between Ling Hui and Niu Lu was the biggest secret of Dongning Mansion, and only a few people trusted by Ling Hui knew the details, and the others were just indiscriminate. However, Liu Yue did not refuse to come, he only needed to confess to the crimes of Ling Hui and Niu Lu.

Soon, Qu Zhu hurriedly came over from the female school to report: "Sun Weiqian heard about last night's incident, fainted in bed, and has been unconscious so far. (To be continued......)
