CHAPTER XXXVI
General Lu left like this, and the people on the street also came around, and Qian Che escorted the masked man through the crowd, "Your Highness, the person has been caught!" ”
The man who was being held by Qian Che was still covered with his head and face, and we couldn't see his face clearly. Qian Che was about to tear off the man's face cloth, but Chu Muxiu stopped him, "Take it back to the house for interrogation!" ”
The man struggled all the way until he reached the mansion, he knelt on the ground, Chu Muxiu suddenly lifted the strip of cloth on his face, and he was not very surprised to see the appearance of the man, but his face was calm
Qian Che stared at the man: "Wei Lian? ”
Wei Lian no longer struggled, he looked like he was not afraid of death, and gritted his teeth and said: "Since you have been caught, if you want to kill you, you must listen to the respect!" ”
Who doesn't know that Wei Lian is Zhang Weizhi's person, and he has been doing things for Zhang Weizhi for some years, so Qian Che naturally didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and asked straight to the point, "What is the purpose of Zhang Weizhi sending you here?" ”
"No one instructed me, it was I who hated His Royal Highness King Yi and wanted to take his life!"
Chu Muxiu wondered: "I have been masked with you several times, and I have never had any grievances, how can you say that you hate me?" ”
Wei Lian sneered: "It is said that nobles forget things, has Your Highness forgotten that he went to Fuliang Town on the border four years ago, my father died in your hands, you are chivalrous on the surface, but behind the scenes you are a murderer without blinking!" ”
Chu Muxiu was still thinking about Wei Lian's words, but Qian Che was furious, and a sword was placed on Wei Lian's neck, "Nonsense, Your Highness has never been to any Fuliang Town in your mouth, let alone killed your father!" ”
The more Qian Che put his sword on Wei Lian's neck, the more excited he became, "That day, a group of people suddenly broke into my house, I know those people, they are all wearing the military uniforms of Tianyue's soldiers, and they say that they were sent by His Royal Highness King Yi. They didn't stop killing my father, they turned their heads and came to kill me, but fortunately, Lord Yushi sent someone to save me and my mother, as well as my two younger brothers, and said that as long as I follow him, I can kill you to avenge my father. ”
Chu Muxiu saw that there were too many loopholes in the matter, so he pulled down Qian Che's sword and asked Wei Lian, "You said that Zhang Weizhi saved you?" ”
"If it weren't for Lord Yushi, I would have killed your people a long time ago, how could I still have the life to seek revenge on you?"
Chu Muxiu said: "Find someone to kill your father and find someone to save your family, Lord Yushi is really cunning." ”
Wei Lian said unconvinced: "It's nonsense, don't provoke the relationship between me and Lord Yushi here." ”
Chu Muxiu said as he walked: "Four years ago, I was still traveling in Lingzhou, and Fuliang Town was in Jingcheng, this Lingzhou is thousands of miles away from Fuliang Town, how can I kill your father, even if I want to kill your father, why did I deliberately tell you to make you hate me?" ”
Wei Lian didn't speak, frowning as if thinking about something.
"It's Lord Yushi, how did he know that your family was in danger, how could he arrive in Fuliang Town in such a timely manner, and how could he save your family in such a timely manner?"
Qian Che echoed casually: "There is only one possibility, that is, it was Lord Yushi who sent someone to kill your father, and then it was Lord Yushi who rushed to save you, and he was just framing His Highness and making you hate His Highness, so that he could do things for him without complaint!" ”
Wei Lian finally believed Chu Muxiu's words a little, and asked him in a muttered manner, "If Lord Yushi really uses me, why has he taken care of my family for the past few years?" ”
"Good student care? Do you really believe that he will take good care of your family, are you wrong, will someone as vicious as Lord Goshi leave you alive? I'm afraid your family will already be poisoned! ”
"Impossible, I've done so many things for Lord Yushi loyally, it's impossible for him to do this to me!"
Chu Muxiu said: "It's impossible for you to rush home overnight to see what you see!" ”
"Impossible, impossible......" Wei Lian ran out all the way.
Qian Che wanted to stop but was stopped by Chu Muxiu, Qian Che was puzzled, "Why did His Highness let him go, in case he went back to explain everything to Zhang Weizhi, it would not be good for us at all." ”
Chu Muxiu looked at his hurried fleeing figure and said to Qian Che, "Do you see that he will return to Zhang Weizhi's side like that, there are too many things in his mouth that I want to know!" ”
After Lu Huai's parents were buried, the family and maids were all gone, leaving only me and their family, and the general's mansion was completely dispersed like the prime minister's mansion. Their graves were neatly placed together, and the weather in October was a little cool, and the wind-blown maple leaves fell on their graves one by one, which looked very desolate.
I sat in front of Lu Huai's grave, and I wanted to talk to him too much, but I couldn't talk about it, so I had to burn some more paper money.
Wei Lian rushed back to Fuliang Town for two days and two nights overnight, but after entering the house, no one could see it, this home he hadn't been back to for four years was really unrecognizable.
"Wei Lian? Are you Wei Lian? ”
Wei Lian turned his head and saw Wang Ah Gong standing at the door, so he walked over and said, "I'm Wei Lian, I'm Wei Lian, by the way, my mother and two younger brothers, where have they gone?" ”
Wang Ah Gong said: "Not long after you left, your mother and brother were killed, and we kept looking for you at that time, but we couldn't find it, so we had to take charge and bury your mother and brother without permission." ”
Wei Lian lost his mind all of a sudden: "Dead, how can they die if they live well?" ”
"It rained so hard that night, we all hid in the house and didn't want to go out, and then we heard your two younger brothers yelling, we thought something had happened, and when we came to your house, they had been killed......
Wei Lian was already sitting heavily on the stool, and a big man's eyes were also soaked, "What about my mother's tomb, where are they buried?" ”
"In the bamboo forest at the end of the village...... Hey, Wei Lian, Wei Lian ......"
As soon as Wei Lian heard this, he ran away, and ran to the bamboo forest at the end of the village, where the graves of his mother and brother stood upright in front of him. Wei Lian couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt in front of his mother's grave, already crying painfully, "The child is not filial, the child is not filial, I came back too late, so you lost your life......"
When Wei Lian came back, it was raining heavily, and he secretly returned to the palace of Lord Goshi in heavy rain all the way, and lay on the roof of the house, he removed a tile in front of him, and saw Lord Goshi and his men talking about things in the house.
Zhang Weizhi asked, "Is Wei Lian back?" ”
The subordinate said coldly with a mockery: "Since the day of the assassination of His Royal Highness King Yi, I haven't seen Wei Lian come back for five days, I'm afraid that I have been killed by King Yi!" ”
"If you die, you will die, but you will have a cheap life, and I kept him at the beginning because he was still a little useful to me, I didn't think that he would be so successful and more than ruined, and he should have been killed with his family in the first place."
Wei Lian was so angry that his pupils dilated, and green tendons had already burst out on his head, "It turns out that what His Royal Highness King Yi said is not wrong, my mother and younger brother were killed by Zhang Weizhi." He slammed his fist on the tile, "Zhang Weizhi! ”
As soon as the rain stopped, Wei Lian rushed to King Yi's mansion, Chu Muxiu had already prepared tea in the mansion, and Wei Lian knelt on the ground as soon as he came in, "Wei Lian made a big mistake, he was in cahoots with the enemy who destroyed the door, he accidentally killed General Lu and almost injured His Royal Highness, it's really damned!" After saying that, he pulled out the dagger from his body and was about to slash it at his neck.
Chu Muxiu's eyes were quick, he picked up the stone on the ground and flicked the dagger in Wei Lian's hand away, and walked over and pressed Wei Lian's hand, "I can avenge you!" ”
Wei Lian was stunned: "Is Your Highness serious?"
"If you are willing to tell me everything you know, and then confess all the dirty things Zhang Weizhi has done in the past 20 years in front of Your Majesty, I can bring down Zhang Weizhi and avenge you!"
"Wei Lian is grateful, and he will not hesitate to do so."
From Wei Lian's mouth, Chu Muxiu knew that Zhang Weizhi used his position to deduct military salaries, embezzle the treasury, and oppress the people. In fact, these Chu Muxiu knew in advance, but there was no evidence, only those useless bamboo slip files, and Zhang Weizhi had been with the court for many years, and his power should not be underestimated, so it was not easy to bring him down. Wei Lian finally said that in fact, Feng Shufei's death was designed by the queen and Zhang Wei, the queen at that time had just been canonized, Feng Shufei had the grace of His Majesty, and it was inconvenient for the queen to do it herself, so she united with Zhang Wei to set up a conspiracy to poison Feng Shufei.
Chu Muxiu suddenly realized, no wonder Zhang Weizhi did so many evil things and no one dared to compete with him, except for His Majesty, the biggest main force behind him was the Queen Mother. Although Zhang Weizhi is ambitious, he has made suggestions for His Majesty all the way, and the Queen Mother does not dare to touch him when he wants to.
Chu Muxiu was not used to seeing Zhang Weizhi making waves like this, but now he knew that he was an accomplice in the murder of his mother's concubine, and this time Chu Muxiu was determined to get rid of Zhang Weizhi.
Wei Lian said that he has not followed Zhang Weizhi in vain in the past few years, and he will leave clues when he does dirty things, and he said that he is also a trustworthy person of Zhang Weizhi, and he is willing to take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Imperial History Mansion to steal Zhang Weizhi's evidence.
Chu Mu remembered that he was also a poor man who had been deceived, and he had already reformed himself, so he simply gave him a chance to make amends.
Qian Che was suspicious: "His Royal Highness is really willing to believe in Zhang Weizhi's people?" ”
Chu Muxiu said coldly: "People who have been flooded with hatred are more terrible than anything else. ”
Maybe Chu Muxiu saw his own shadow from Wei Lian, and Wei Lian's eyes that were desperate for revenge really looked like himself at the beginning.
Chu Muxiu turned his head to Qian Che and said, "Qian Che, get ready, sneak into Dali Temple tonight." ”
"Isn't Your Highness trying to steal the evidence file of Zhang Wei's crime?"
"The file we have is physical evidence, Wei Lian is physical evidence, plus he may bring back more useful evidence, one by one, even if His Majesty wants to keep Zhang Weizhi again, he will be forced to give him the crime under the pressure of other ministers of the court. Last time, Wu Deqing's incident was narrowly escaped by him, this time he must not take it lightly, he must take the life of the dog thief, avenge my mother concubine, and get rid of this dog official for Tianyue......"
