As soon as Shi Li had an accident here, Shi Li's family immediately sent someone to send a letter to Shi Chong.

In Luoyang City, Shi Chong's Mansion is still brightly lit and playful.

Shi Chongzheng drank and had fun with Jia Mi, Pan Yue and others.

I saw Menli rushing in with a messenger.

The messenger was dressed in a plain pickaxe, and when he saw Shi Chong, he cried and knelt on the ground: "Townsman, our lord he.... He...."

As he spoke, he gave the letter to Shi Chong.

Jia Mi saw that things were not good, and immediately blew up the dancing girl: "Go down, go down, go down!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not right, the dancers fled with the musicians and dispersed!

After reading the letter, Shi Chong almost fainted in distress, and shouted: "Seventh brother, my seventh brother, who is it, who is it, who killed my seventh brother, it really hurts me to death." “

After speaking, he beat his chest and feet, unlike other brothers, this Shi Chong and Shi Li are the brothers of a mother, Shi Li died, Shi Chong was really sad.

When Jia Mi heard that Shi Li was dead, he quickly took the letter from Shi Chong's hand, and after reading it, he also showed his sadness as much as he could, hugged Shi Chong, and shed a few tears.

Seeing that Shi Chong was almost crying, he was a little tired of persuading himself.

Jia Mi said: "Take care of the townspeople, please rest assured, I asked the mother for instructions and ordered a strict investigation of this matter." ”

Then he changed the topic and said: "I'm afraid this matter is inseparable from King Langya and others, just received King Langya's report on the grain case, Li Zhao is dead, Gao Bin pleaded guilty, Lord Shi Li handed it over to the court for decision, is it not that this King Langya can't convict Lord Shi, so he made this decision!" ”

And Pan Yue also echoed: "King Langya has ill intentions, this matter must be very strange, and the mother must send another person to investigate the case thoroughly, and return Lord Shi to justice." ”

At this time, Shi Chong heard the two of them say this, wiped his tears and said: "The first time I heard the bad news, I was really sad, and my brain was also chaotic, and there was the Duke of Laolu!" ”

"Alas, where does the townsman speak, our friendship is like this, and the affairs of the townsmen are my affairs. Take care of the townsman, we won't be bothered, so let's take our leave! ”

"Alas, I'm afraid I'm slacking off today!" After speaking, Shi Chong was sad again.

sent away Jia Mi and Pan Yue, and the person who sent the letter took out a silk book that had been extended, and Shi Chong took a look: Qiu twenty years ago, a descendant of the Sun family.

Unsure of what he meant, he asked the person who sent the letter, "This is left by the murderer?" ”

"It was left at the scene, and my housewife asked me to show you this, and I specially explained the little one to let you carefully consider the old things from twenty years ago, so I didn't dare to take it out just now."

Shi Chong looked at the words on the silk book again, thinking carefully about Mrs. Shi Li's words, and his face couldn't help but change: "You did a good job, go down and rest first!" ”

All night, Shi Chong locked himself in his study alone, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

The people only thought that Shi Chong was overly sad.

And Shi Chong recalled the events of 20 years ago:

When the old Langya King Sima Ling broke Sun Wu, he once treated Sun Quan's descendants, Sun Lu, the son of Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, was pardoned by Emperor Xianwu and given the title.

However, Sun Quan had a huge amount of wealth, hidden in Jingzhou, when he was still the assassin of Jingzhou, he and Shi Li in order to get this wealth, regardless of Emperor Xianwu's edict, imprisoned Sun Lu, and forced him to tell the whereabouts of this treasure.

This Sun Lu couldn't stand the abuse, so he told the treasure, and he had this earth-shattering wealth, and Shi Li killed Sun Lu in order to prevent the matter from being exposed.

When Shi Chong thought of this, he couldn't help but be terrified in his heart, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh:

"Alas, seventh brother, I'm afraid you're going to die in vain, brother, I'm afraid I'm going to let you down for the sake of the life of the Shi family."

Shi Chong felt that he couldn't stand Shi Li, and knelt on the ground, grieving.

At the same time, Wang Yan also got the news that Shi Li was killed, but he was overjoyed.

I saw him happily said to a young man beside him: "This Jiangnan has been controlled by Shi Li and Shi Chong, originally I wanted to use the grain requisition case to suppress Shi Valve, so as to take the opportunity to meddle in Jiangnan, I don't want this Shi Li to be short-lived, haha, this is really good news." ”

The young man was also very happy when he heard this: "Brother, now that the position of Yangzhou Assassin is vacant, and Director Wang is in Jiangnan, it is better to let him stay in Jiangnan." ”

The young man who spoke was Wang Yan's younger brother, Wang Dun.

"Well, you immediately send someone to invite your second brother here, and then invite the left and right servants and others together, tomorrow the rest of the year is over, it's time to discuss the matter of Yangzhou."

"Yes, brother!"

Above the court, Emperor Hui Sima asked the ministers slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has read the recitals of King Langya and Wang Dao, what do you think?" ”

Shang Shu ordered Wang Yan to step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the assassin Shi Beijia Gaobin confessed to the case of Huaiyin's loss of grain, Li Zhaoye has been punished, and Wu County Taishou Hu Chong has also petitioned for the crime, and the Criminal Department has completed the review of the evidence. According to the minister's opinion, Gao Bin and others can be tried by the criminal department in accordance with the law. And Hu Chong, although he was wrong, but he was not very wrong, and after he was a loyal minister, the court issued an order to reprimand him. ”

Sikong Zhang Hua, Shangshu Jian Wang Rong, and left and right servants all seconded the proposal, and even Jia Mi also seconded it.

At this time, Jia Nanfeng nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what Master Shangshu said." ”

After speaking, he looked at Jia Mi, and then at Shi Chong, with a subtle smile on his mouth, Jia Nanfeng threw a question to everyone:

"This Langya King's first recital shows that after the end of Xiu Mu, he can return to Beijing to resume his life, Yangzhou's errand should have recorded his merits, but now that something happened to Yangzhou Thorn Shili, Zhong Aiqing discussed how to deal with this matter?"

At this time, I saw Jia Mi come forward and said: "Niangniang, now the main culprits have been punished, although Shi Li has the responsibility of negligence, but has already asked the court for guilt, and now he is still killed in Yangzhou Assassin History, this matter is not only the court official was killed, but also the face of the court, please Your Majesty and Niangniang decree that this matter will be thoroughly investigated to the end." ”

"Well, although there has been a stone calendar, after all, it is the history of the imperial court. His murder really has to be investigated to the end, and now that the king of Langya is in Jiangnan, do you still need him to continue the investigation? ”

When Empress Jia asked this, she was wary of Sima Jingwen, after all, as soon as Shi Li died, Sima Jingwen stayed in Jiangnan from then on, which she did not want, she was afraid that King Langya would raise forces in Jiangnan, but because of the situation, she still needed to inquire.

I saw Jia Mi continue: "The minister thinks it's impossible! ”

"Oh, tell me about it?"

"The minister thinks that if Shi Li is assassinated, King Langya may not be able to get out of it!"

"Do you have proof?"

"The minister heard that the Xie family's banquet was originally a joyful thing, but on the way back, except for Shi Li, everyone else took the same boat, and only Lord Shi had an accident, which may have been deliberately done by King Langya."

"Lu Guogong, this is wrong!" It was Wang Yan who spoke.

"Lu Guogong, above the court, there is no real evidence, and you can't speculate. King Langya's recital made it clear that the murderer left an old grudge twenty years ago, and declared that he was a descendant of the Sun family, and what this old grudge was, maybe only the townsman knew, right? ”

Shi Chong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and forced a pair of red and swollen eyes to open and said:

"Twenty years ago, when the old Langya King broke Wu, I was in Jingzhou at the time, and the minister couldn't think of who had such a big enmity with Shi Li.

Jia Mi saw that Wang Yan turned the topic to Shi Chong, and immediately said: "Niangniang, the minister thinks that it is better for the townsman to investigate this matter himself, and at the same time, it is also good to deal with the future affairs of Lord Shi Li." ”

Just when Empress Jia wanted to nod her head in agreement, she heard one person say loudly: "The minister thinks it's inappropriate!" ”
