Chapter 323 Four Talking about the Past
Just when Yu Yu eavesdropped on Han Li telling the Lu clan about that unknown past. Several groups of people in Chang'an City are looking for their traces everywhere.
Liu Dewei went to the palace to truthfully report the morning interrogation to Li Shimin, and Fang Qiaozheng was angry that all the portraits of the Lu family in his home were missing, and he was passed into the palace.
Li Shimin reprimanded Fang Qiao for the coercive and seductive letter, and even the guards guarding the gate of the Sandao Hall could hear the scolding, but in the end, it was the monarch and the minister for many years, and he also knew that Fang Qiao would not do this kind of thing that looked smart but was actually confused, and after scolding, he helped to make peace between Liu Dewei and Fang Qiao.
Liu Dewei lost the excitement he had at that time in the morning, and he knew that Fang Qiao was blamed by someone, but he was so unsubstantiated and undocumented, he could only suffer a loss, and under Li Shimin's golden mouth, he asked for a favor, no matter what the outcome of the case was, no one would complain about his injustice because of that letter.
Liu Dewei kept his integrity, but after the mouth of Shaoqing, who cooperated in the trial of the case in the morning, in less than half a day, all the big and small people in Chang'an City who cared about this matter basically knew that Fang Qiao threatened Liu Dewei with fake paintings and letters.
Not to mention that Fang Qiao, who was burned by Lu Zhi's black hands, the Guogong Mansion is also a mess at the moment. No one was found in the evening, and after Lu Zhongzhi and Lu Zhi were combined, one went directly to the palace to face the saint, and the other sat in Chengyuan Building to collect suspicious news from all over the place.
Lu Zhongzhi entered the palace to make a fuss, alluding to Fang Qiao, saying that it was not what he did, it was the remnants of King An, Li Shimin heard about the disappearance of Lu's mother and daughter, and immediately became furious.
It wasn't Fang Qiao's doing, of course he couldn't admit it, he was also anxious when he heard about Lu's disappearance, but he was determined by Lu Zhongzhi, it was he who shouted that Lu was the wife of the Fang family back then, so that the remnants who hated Fang Qiao arrested Lu and them as scapegoats.
Li Shimin was so troubled by Lu Zhongzhi that he couldn't help but slap the table and stare at them, and drove both of them out of the palace, but sent another group of people to look for them.

“...... He claimed to be the owner of the Red Village, and asked me if I was willing to join the Red Village to serve him as the Lord and serve him, but I naturally refused in my heart, but even a servant in the Village looked skilled, and left for safety. I answered the face, and he asked people to take me to the back mountain... I was still locked in the five senses, and after walking for half an hour, I entered a stone cave before I was unlocked, and the water and stones in the cave were all colorful, and there was a dark fragrance flowing......"
Han Li spent a lot of words to describe the scene of the red village, it can be seen that it is indeed a fairyland on earth, otherwise how could it be remembered by him after so many years.
"While I was trying to figure out how to get out, the man who had taken me to the Red Village went to the depths of the cave, where there was a red spring, not the color of blood, but a transparent, light red, and in the spring there was a life-size stone statue sitting on its side, and the spring water gushed out of her hand, and the man took me to perform a complicated set of rituals on the stone statue, and taught me to recite some strange incantations, so he took a jade bowl on the jade table by the spring, and filled the red spring with a little blood on my eyebrows, and let me drink it, although I did not want to drink it, But in order to get out as soon as possible. Or drink it, who knows, who knows," Han Li sighed, as if he had thousands of regrets, "It's that bowl of spring water, which is destined for half my life." ”
Lu's expression was moved, and he wanted to ask, but remembering Han Li's previous request, he pursed his lips and didn't make a sound. The relict jade on the other side of the wall listened to Han Li's narration with a tangled face, and always felt that this Hongzhuang looked like a cult organization.
Han Li drank the spring water, at first he didn't feel anything unusual, and he didn't see the owner of the red village again, but left this secret manor according to the instructions and returned to King An's side to assist, this red village seems to have a special way in terms of financial resources and news spying, with their support, Han Li in just half a year, not only with King An in private brother, but also made him trust him very much.
Han Li had already sensed that Hongzhuang had ordered him to support King An because of his intentions, and the poison planted in Duyun Village had not been poisoned for a long time, so he had a disillusionment and made arrangements and quietly headed towards the northeast.
"On the way, I became poisoned, and I was so drowsy that I couldn't lift my spirits, so I reluctantly found an inn, and I slept for two days, and when I woke up, I almost died of thirst, so I began to seek medical treatment everywhere. But after the poison, I slept longer and longer, until one time I woke up after seven days of sleep, barely relying on others to feed me water, I knew that I could not escape, and the man who exchanged illness for poison appeared in front of me again. ”
Yao Buzhi did not show any anger at Han Li's escape, saying that he had already done what he asked to get close to King An and helped him detoxify, but he passed down the order of the owner of Hongzhuang to assist King An with all his might.
“...... I was poisoned, and how could I be subject to him, so I explained my part, but the man told me helplessly that it was too late, and when I was not clear, a strange man appeared, and his temper was not as good as the previous one, and asked me in a cold voice if I wanted to betray the master, and seeing that I was resolute, and my lips squirmed and recited an obscure word, I lost consciousness, and woke up again, but I returned to King An's side. Three days had passed since that day, and I was horrified to learn that I had been in the same way as usual for the days when I had lost consciousness, and I realized that there must be something wrong with the spring water I drank that day. ”
"I thought about the rest of my life, but every time I thought about self-harm, I would lose consciousness for a day. If I don't obey the order, I will be unable to help myself, so I can only enjoy myself and stay by King An's side honestly. On the one hand, he was hypocritical, and on the other hand, he was exploring the secrets of Hongzhuang, thinking that he could return to freedom one day. That year was the end of the fourth year of Wude, and in the first month after I recognized the reality, I found Fang Qiao and secretly connected with King An. ”
"At first, I also thought that he really wanted to take refuge in King An, at that time, under the intervention of Hongzhuang, King An's momentum was hidden in the court and in the opposition, and there were signs of surpassing the prince He came to take refuge, but the Lu family was on the side of the prince, Yu Qing, I actually didn't want King An to be the lord of the world, his character was too violent, not suitable for the monarch, although I was subject to Hongzhuang had to assist him, but I was also secretly planning when to get out, naturally obstructed Fang Qiao's actions in every way, I hope he will not ruin the relationship with the Lu family because of the choice of the master, but he also has the means, relied on a few things to win the trust of King An, and finally became a subordinate of King An. ”
Yi Yu knew that what he said should be the beginning of Fang Qiao's fake surrender to King An, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Han Li long before this. From Fang Qiao's mouth, it seems that Han Li can influence King An, but in fact, it doesn't seem to be like that, King An is not a puppet.
"At first, he just secretly invested, but King An was too suspicious and had a grudge against the in-law relationship between the Fang and Lu families, so he resorted to means to reveal the identity of Fang Qiao'an and Wang An's party to the world, and what followed was the break between the Fang and Lu families."
Yi Yu frowned, according to Fang Qiao's statement, the reason why his secret Tou An Wang was exposed at the beginning was because Han Li was doing something behind his back, how did it get into his mouth. but it became the work of King An.
Speaking of this, Han Li's voice was obviously angry, "It was at this time that I inadvertently found out that he had raised two concubines in the capital courtyard, and found that he was actually a fake king of An. When others do this kind of meticulous thing, I Han Li can't care about it and don't bother to care about it, but he is your husband, does he know how much danger he will bring to you if he does that! At that time, King An already had a plan, and wanted to usurp at the end of the year, for fear that there would be unscrupulous people under him, he drew up a list to take away the people for a while, all of whom were officials' families and important people, including you and your eldest son. ”
Yi Yu had heard about this list before, and it was only from Han Li's mouth that he was a little more real. In this way, King An actually planned to usurp the throne when he was in the fifth year of Wude, but why did he delay it until the ninth year of Wude before the Xuanwumen change was carried out.
"If this matter is only a plan of King An, I can protect your mother and son after he imprisons you, but Hongzhuang's side learned the news, and actually sent a message to me, asking me to help him do this, get you all over, and hand them over to the people of Hongzhuang to take care of, people are really in their hands, according to Fang Qiao's actions, do you still have a way to live!" I privately dragged this matter down, and secretly leaked the news to Fang Qiao, letting him know about the list, and wanted to warn him to stop, but he still didn't change his original intention, and was determined to help the prince on King An's side - Jing Lan,"
He spoke to the depths, suddenly called Lu Shi, and laughed at himself: "Do you know that at that time, I was angry that he didn't think about you, but I was secretly happy, I lived in Chang'an City for two years, and never stopped telling myself, if that person treats you badly, I will take you over, heh, he really gave me this opportunity, I am thinking, let you die to him, find an opportunity to send you to Jiangnan to reunite with Uncle Lu, and wait for me to get rid of Hongzhuang, and then go to see you." ”
Lu lowered his head, and the hand on his lap gripped the hem of his shirt tightly, pinching out two folds.
"So, I first instigated King An to occupy the concubine named Yun Niang in the other courtyard, and then drugged the drunk Fang Qiao to have a relationship with the woman named Li Niang, and then revealed their existence to the mother of the house, and asked her to take the person back to the house, I know that because of the list, he will definitely 'empathize', sure enough, he still didn't tell you the matter, but with that Li Niang day by day, snubbed you, the defense of the house was very strict for a while, in order to get you out, and not to be discovered by Hongzhuang I secretly did something, I accelerated the plan...... At the end of that year, King An returned to Beijing and set up a banquet at night. ”
