Chapter 138: Death is also a ghost
Liu Hongyi, the urging officer, came to the door. In the past six months, there have been ups and downs, and Li Chengmei's little boy has added a lot of troubles.
He returned to King Chen's mansion and closed his door. Compared with the stars holding the moon in the East Palace, the current Chen Wangfu is full of birds.
There is a lot of noise outside the door today, and there are really people who can't send charcoal in the snow?
Li Chengmei was invited to the front hall, Liu Hongyi carefully held the exquisite and transparent wine utensils, and the clear jade liquid elixir swayed in the pot.
In Chengmei's eyes, a poisonous snake spitting out a letter opened its bloody mouth to him.
The young man's face was pale and shaky, what did he do wrong? How did you end up today?
Enter the East Palace, or return to King Chen's Mansion. He doesn't fight or rob, and I'm lucky to have my life.
But this cup of poisonous wine, he can't face it calmly. A figure walking slowly outside the door made him steady his figure.
She was dressed in a fluttering red gauze like a bright sunset. With light steps, the long skirt brushed the steps, making a crisp sound like a jade pendant.
All eyes turned to her, the woman who had come.
She walked past Liu Hongyi, her beautiful eyes staring at Chengmei, "My son." ”
She called softly, and before others could react, she snatched the wine glass with her hand and drank the wine from the glass.
"Mother, the child accompanies you."
Cheng Mei held her mother with one hand, and drank the pot with the other, and when the jade pot was shattered, it was shattered.
Liu Hongyi was sent to the palace when he was a child, and his memory of his mother was blurred.
Today, in the face of life and death, a mother stood in front of her son without hesitation. Liu Hongyi, who was accustomed to life and death, had a sour nose and almost shed tears.
Since King An returned to the mansion, he sent Meng Wenliang and Shen Xuecai away.
The two naturally refused to leave King An at this time, and he followed King An since childhood, and King An treated them like brothers on weekdays.
Meng Wenliang and Shen Xuecai both said, "The prince asked me to leave, I would rather die." ”
"I'm alone now, and I don't have anyone around me to protect myself. Your Majesty knows the best about your two abilities, and you hurt me by my side. You'll only understand if I say absolutely nothing, right? ”
The face that was as warm as jade was angry, and King An said this. The two originally wanted to follow King An to the death, not to be born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, but to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year.
The two shed tears to bid farewell to King An, and before leaving, King An told the two, "Remember, success or failure is the will of God, and no one can be blamed." If one day, all grievances and hatreds are tied to me alone, and they will be with me. Walking out of this gate today, there is no more relationship between me and you, you can go anywhere, but the capital is not allowed to step into half a step. ”
When King An said this, he was saying goodbye to the two of them. The two men fell at his feet and wept bitterly.
An Wang propped up the desk with his hand, and he never looked back, afraid that he would not have the courage to drive them away once he turned back.
King An said, "No matter what happens, you two should not be rash. Leave the capital, help the poor, or help the common people. The two of you know my ambition in the past, and you set up your heart for heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints, and for the peace of all generations. You two will set your heart for heaven and earth in my place. ”
When he said the last two sentences, his face was already full of tears, and King An choked up unspeakably. He didn't say anything more, because a mouth would reveal his true emotions, and he waved his hand to signal the two to leave.
Meng Wenliang and Shen Xuecai hugged King An's legs, wept bitterly and said, "Prince, if we stay, we can follow the will of the prince and make a life for the people." ”
On the one hand, King An didn't want the two of them to be implicated, and on the other hand, he asked the two of them to continue to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. The cause that King An could not continue was to be done by the two of them.
Meng and Shen slammed their heads a few times, shedding tears to bid farewell to the prince. Outside the door, there were already people waiting for them with their fares.
When Liu Hongyi stood in front of King An with imperial wine in his hand, King An looked calm.
From the moment he took imperial power as his goal, he knew that either one day he would look down on all beings, or one day, like now, a glass of poisoned wine would take this life.
He calmly picked up his glass and drank it without blinking an eye. "People are dying, their words are good, everything will disappear with me!"
Liu Hongyi went back and relayed King An's last words to Tang Wuzong, but Tang Wuzong was silent.
Yu Hongzhi was killed by Nie Bo, and Nie Bo disfigured himself before he died. A team of men and horses of the Shence Army, tied a mat behind the horse, wrapped Nie Bo's body, and rode to Xishi.
The Shence Army was dispatched en masse, and the citizens scattered and ran away, giving way to a vacant land. They all stood from afar and watched.
The soldiers dismounted, opened the mat, and everyone saw from a distance that it was a corpse. What people have suffered again?
Uncle Song stood beside the corpse at night, pointed to the corpse, and asked everyone; "But there is someone who knows this person, this thief killed Lieutenant Yu Hongzhi. Sin is unforgivable. Whoever can identify the thief will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. ”
The reward is 500 taels of silver, which is enough for a few families to have food and clothing for several years. The bold stepped forward and took one look at the body, and couldn't bear to look at it a second time. The whole blood gourd is the same.
Nie Bo's eyes had been gouged out by him, and the dagger had scratched his face, and the flesh on his face was turned up, making it impossible to identify from his facial features. There are several knife cuts on the body, and the five organs are hanging outside.
The man shook his head and ran away. A few more people stepped forward, not to mention identification, and couldn't bear to take a second look.
"The thief disfigured himself because he was afraid that people would recognize him." Uncle Song stopped a few people who wanted to run away, "Take a closer look, those who recognize the thief will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver." ”
Jiang Yao was also in the crowd, and Liu Ye rarely showed his head, squatting at home to study medicine and martial arts. It is said that heroes cherish each other, Jiang Yao couldn't bear to look at it directly, and returned to his parents to sigh.
Liu Ye sat on the bed and memorized his medical skills, and Jiang Gongzi, who had always been carefree and easy, sighed for a long time. "Brother Haruka?"
"Ye'er," Jiang Yao came over, resting his head on her shoulder and sighing. Liu Ye had never seen Jiang Yao like this, she surrounded Jiang Yao.
"Brother Haruka." I can't help but wonder what happened to him?
"What a strong man!"
Jiang Yao pulled the willow leaves out of the room, the two flew and jumped on the roof, and Jiang Yao pointed in the direction of Xishi.
"There is a strong man there who was exposed to the public by the Shence Army."
Jiang Yao was sad, "In order not to affect his relatives, he disfigured himself beyond recognition. ”
"What a strong man!" Liu Ye also sighed sincerely.
The two discussed letting the hero be buried in peace, and waited for the dead of night to snatch out the body and bury it secretly. Such a feat does not know who the surname is, and can only erect an anonymous monument, which is a pity.
But at least he can protect the relatives of the hero, and it is not in vain for him to work hard, and the hero can also look down under the nine springs.
The generals of the Shence Army shouted for a long time, and although there were many onlookers, none of them stood up to identify them.
The Shence Army posted bounty notices all over the streets, and those who provided clues would receive a bounty of 100 taels. The bounty turns over and goes up.
and a hundred taels of gold, which may be used to buy houses and fields. What you can't get by working hard all your life, you can get it by identifying a corpse.
Under the great reward there will be brave men, and those who come to identify the dead will come one after another. The temptation of money overcame the fear of facing the flesh and blood of the corpse, and the awe and sympathy for the strong man were also thrown out of the sky.
People rushed from all over the world to be the first to identify the dead and receive a huge prize.
Trampling and crowding each other, and even arguing over who comes first and who comes last, and fights endlessly.
Some people fail to get a huge bonus, in order to seize the opportunity, quarrel with others, start a dispute, and hang the lottery injury, but also go back to pay out of pocket, buy medicine to heal.
It wasn't until the curfew that people left.
