Chapter 709, the tragedy of destroying the door!

Since the failure of the Lu Clan's rebellion, Tiandu City has entered an era of bloody purges. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The thousand-year-old imperial city is roaring, and every day, those names that were originally in high positions or familiar to people are pushed to the noon gate to be beheaded. The family was exterminated, and the children's families were reduced to lowly status. There are also some people who have been sent to remote and wild places that are even more miserable, wearing shackles and locks, and a long line has walked through Chang'an Avenue, I am afraid that many people will die on the road, and it will be difficult to return to Tiandu in this life.

Originally, these things should have nothing to do with ordinary people, but they don't know what's going on, the people of Tiandu still feel that the dark clouds are shrouded in their heads, and everyone has a feeling of mental tension, even the voice of speech and hearty laughter are deliberately suppressed, as if someone will be disturbed by accident.

It's like a pot of oil about to boil, like a summer rainstorm that is about to rain.

Everyone has a feeling of being out of breath and out of breath.

In the past two days, Tiandu City has suddenly become lively again.

The cause of the incident was that Song Xiaoxiao of the Song family injured Yan Xiangma of the Yan family, and the Yan family not only did not go to the Song family to theorize, but expelled Yan Xiangma from the house. Yan Xiangma ran away from home in a fit of rage and disappeared.

Just when everyone was talking about the power of the Song family and the weakness and incompetence of the Yan family, Song Xiaoxiao suddenly knelt down at the door of the Yan family, pleaded guilty, and asked the Yan family to find Yan Xiangma back. If Yan Xiangma doesn't return for a day, he won't be able to afford it for a day.

Yan Donglou, the head of the Yan family, personally went out to invite him, and said that Yan Xiangma had no news, and they were also trying to find ------

The Yan family and the Song family come and go, and there is a lot of trouble, and the people of Tiandu are also happy to take a look at the excitement. For more than a year, Tiandu City has been lifeless, and it has been a long time since something so interesting has happened.

Zhu Yuren is also one of the people who watch the excitement.

Zhu Yuren is the official of the West Wind Empire, and has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials and giving advice when he hears the wind. Yanguan is a relatively special group, their power is said to be very large, and the key is to see whether the emperor's mind can tolerate the world, and has the measure of listening to the council.

Some officials are iron-clad and fearless of death, that is, they speak out to persuade the monarch and make him correct it, and even the emperor is afraid and avoids it.

Zhu Yuren is one of the iron-clad officials, at least that's what he thinks.

Zhu Yuren had long known about the contradiction between the Yan and Song families, but he had no intention of going on with it. Ordinary people are not aware of the change of imperial power in the west wind, but Zhu Yuren is extremely clear.

This time, the first emperor died, the Lu family collapsed, and the Song family and the Cui family were the biggest stakeholders. The second is these top families headed by the Yan family.

The Yan family is looking forward to the Cui family, and if these immortals fight, it must be an uneven distribution of interests. What does it have to do with it?

Although Zhu Yuren is straight, he is not stupid. If you are stupid, you can't become the central advisor.

Early in the morning, when Zhu Yuren was drinking two rice porridge and eating small pickles at home, suddenly Zhu Li, the housekeeper of the house, came to report and whispered in his ear: "Master, there is a beggar at the door who wants to see you." ”

Zhu Yuren's face changed greatly when he heard this, he stared at Zhu Li coldly, and said, "Isn't it that day that I have to meet all the beggars in the capital?" So I don't have to eat? Do you use an errand? ”

Zhu Li knew that the old man was angry, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not, I just said that to the beggar----- but I didn't expect the beggar to kneel down at the door of our house with a plop, so I didn't want to get up." I was about to ask the guard to lift him up and throw him away, but he felt something like this from his bosom----- saying that as long as I presented him to the master, the master would definitely see him. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Li put the piece of jade pendant he was holding on the dining table.

The jade pendant is pure white, the color is clear, and there are floating clouds flowing inside, so you can see that it is not ordinary. The jade pendant is carved into the shape of a unicorn, the carving is exquisite, and the unicorn is beautiful and beautiful, just like a living thing.

Zhu Renhua's face changed instantly, and he stared at the jade pendant on the dinner table with wide eyes, as if he had discovered something incredible.

Zhu Yuren's face was uncertain, he pondered for a long time, and asked aloud, "Where is the beggar now?" ”

"At the back door of the mansion, I saw that he was in tattered clothes and thin as dry wood, but he was able to take out such tokens, and I thought that he might really know the master." Zhu Li carefully stared at Zhu Yuren's face, and said loudly: "So I took him to the concierge and asked him to wait for a while." If the master doesn't want to see him, I'll ask someone to send a few pieces of money. ”

"Quietly take him into my study." Zhu Yuren said in a deep voice. "Command the porter that no one shall tell this matter, lest he break his leg."

"Yes, sir. The guards in the concierge are all our old family members, and they know what is important. Zhu Li agreed and immediately withdrew.

Zhu Yuren stretched out his hand and stroked the jade pendant, muttering to himself: "Brother Sanjie, why are you suffering?" After many years, I just want to redress your grievances, but I'm afraid that people will be invituous, and it will be difficult for old friends to get their wishes. ”

There was no appetite for breakfast, Zhu Yuren grabbed the jade pendant in his hand and walked towards the study.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Yuren walked to the study and pushed open the door, a middle-aged man fell to his knees with a thud, hugged his calves and cried: "Uncle, I'm Wen Jin, I'm your nephew Wen Mian-------"

Zhu Yuren sighed deeply, stretched out his hand to pull the beggar up, and said in a deep voice: "I know you are Wen Jin." Seeing this unicorn jade pendant, I have already guessed your identity------ this unicorn jade pendant was worn around your neck by my own hands when you were born, in order to congratulate the three brothers on the joy of the unicorn. It's just that your family is not buried in the hands of the Jiangyang thief Red Child, all the doors are dead, no one escaped, the news reached the capital, I was grief-stricken, and I specially sent a powerful person to Yancheng to look for you, but no one was found, only saw the densely packed corpses------- how did Wenjin escape? Why did you come to Tiandu? ”

"Uncle, you have to plead for our family------- father and mother died too miserably, they were all killed. Our Li clan was killed by the Song family. The middle-aged beggar knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Zhu Renren.

Zhu Yuren's face was grim and said, "Wen Jin, you get up and speak." Since I have people bring you to this study, it is already a responsibility------ you tell me the truth of the matter, and then we will think about it in the long run. ”

"Yes. Uncle. The middle-aged beggar got up from the ground, his eyes were blood-red, and he said in a sad voice: "The little sister Li Wan has been a beauty since she was a child, and she is good at piano skills, and she is famous in the capital. Just because he showed a look of horror and fear when he saw Song Yu of the Song family, he was hated by Song Yu. At a gathering of Ya, he secretly followed the little sister and kidnapped her, the poor little sister was tragically ruined, and finally found an opportunity to escape, but was torn to pieces by the chasing Song Yudang Street----- the street-----

Thinking of the tragic situation of his little sister, Li Wenjin was extremely sad, and his voice was choked up: "Poor my little sister----- they were killed by them like that." I was killed by Song Yu----- I ---- my father to the Song family to hold him responsible, but I was forced by the power of the Song family, first to find someone to take the blame for Song Yu, and then transferred my father to Yancheng and ordered our clan to go to work immediately----- the world thought that my father was bought by the power, so he sacrificed the life of my little sister, but who knows that my father is in pain with tears every day? ”

Zhu Yuren nodded and said, "I know some inside information about this matter. It's just that after the incident, your Li clan disappeared overnight, and your father went to Yancheng to take up his post without saying a word, I just wanted to speak for you, but there was no bitter master, and it was difficult to succeed-----"

There is another sentence that Zhu Yuren did not say, at that time, everyone in the world thought that Li Ruigang, that is, Li Sanjie, was bought by the Song family and exchanged the position of the city lord of Yancheng for his daughter's life. Although Zhu Yuren didn't believe that his best friend was this kind of person, when he went to confront Zhu Yuren, he found that Li Sanjie's family had disappeared, and a few days later, the news came that he had taken office in Yancheng. Zhu Yuren sneered three times and never mentioned the matter again.

"How can my father not leave? The Song family sent someone to catch the fifth brother to Yancheng, and the father rushed to Yancheng within three days, saying that it was a day late, and he cut off one of the arms of the younger brother, if he was late for three days, he would kill the fifth brother----- father did not dare to delay, and he didn't have time to clean up the naan, so he rushed to Yancheng with his family----- we knew that our strength was weak, and it was difficult to compete with a big family like the Song family, what we didn't expect was that Song Yu was sent to the army after it was very promising, Soon he became a hussar general----- father had been paying attention to Song Yu's movements, and every time he was promoted, his father's face darkened. Once the Iron Gate Pass was victorious, Song Yu was promoted to three levels in a row, and my father's face was like ashes, so he gathered our family together and asked us to pack our luggage, and he wanted to send our brothers away overnight------"

"At that time, we didn't know what it meant, obviously the Song family killed my sister, obviously the Song family owed us, why are we so afraid of these villains----- besides, we have always lived in Yancheng, and we have never shown any dissatisfaction with the Song family, why should we escape? Why did the Song kill us? Father said that the greater Song Yu's power and rank, the more what he did back then became a thorn in his eye, and he had to pull out this nail, otherwise, he might be thrown out by political enemies at any time------ father said, the best way is to kill us. Only the dead can settle the dust on this matter, and there is no proof of death. Before we could escape, the Jiangyang thief led people to kill him, rushed into the city lord's mansion, and wiped out our Li clan------"

Li Wenmian wiped a handful of tears with his dark sleeves and said loudly: "At that time, a friend invited me out to drink, and I happened to have an upset stomach and went to the thatched house----- and when I came back, all my friends were dead." I remembered my father's words, and knew that they were coming for me, so I didn't go home, but ran directly into the wilderness and hid for a few days, until the government issued a notice, and I dared to blend into the crowd to take a look at the corpses of my Li clan-----"

Li Wenjin fell prostrate on the ground, crying silently, and said: "Uncle, I beg you ----- beg you to make the decision for my Li clan, otherwise my father and mother will die unjustly-----"

After listening to Li Wenjin's story, Zhu Yuren was furious, but hesitated.

He naturally believed Li Wenjin's accusation, which was really the Song family's tactics. They think of themselves as scholars, so the dirty stuff is handled by someone else. Li Wenjin would not believe that the Li clan would offend the Jiangyang thief Red Boy, let alone believe that a Jiangyang thief led people into the city lord's mansion because of a little conflict of interests, and slaughtered the lord of the first mansion and his family.

Only the Song family has a reason to do this, in order to cover up Song Yu's charges and pave the way for him to finally control the Iron Gate.

But do you really want to wade through this muddy water?

Who are they facing, it is the Song family.

It is the Song family who leans towards the government and the opposition, and it is the behind-the-scenes king who arches the king of Chu high in front.

As long as he exposes his intention to overturn the case for the Li family, and even as long as the Song family finds out the news that he has been in contact with the Li family, I am afraid that he will also encounter accidents.

It's not a pity to die by yourself, and your family is afraid that it will not be spared.

Isn't what happened to the Li clan a good illustration of the problem? Song's style of doing things has always been to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The first emperor just scolded the Song family's autocratic power in the harem, and as a result, the first emperor was killed by the Lu family------

Seeing that Zhu Yuren was silent, Li Wenjin only felt that his heart was sinking.

"Could it be that those people bullied themselves, they said that as long as they told the truth of the matter in front of Uncle Zhu, he would definitely make the decision for himself-----"

"Uncle------" Zhu Renren called out loud. "The nephew knows that this move will definitely make it difficult for the uncle, but the nephew really has no choice------ the little nephew's health is getting worse and worse, and I am afraid that he will not live for a few years. If the little nephew also dies of illness, then my Li clan will be cut off from children and grandchildren, and our Li clan's great revenge will no longer be avenged, and no one will even know about it-------"

Zhu Renhua's palm gently rubbed the unicorn jade match in the palm of his hand, and said loudly: "I and your father Sanjie brother are villagers and confidants, my family was poor when I was young, I couldn't even eat enough on my stomach, and I had no money to study. I owe you too much to the Li family. ”

"My father only told us about his deep friendship with my uncle, and never mentioned the rescue." Li Wenjin echoed.

"Well, this is the Sanjie brother I know. There are many people who put the icing on the cake, and there are few people who send charcoal in the snow. Your father was a charcoal giver in the snow, and if it weren't for his basket of charcoal, I'm afraid I would have been frozen to death by the heavy snow. ”

"Uncle------

Zhu Yuren waved his hand and said, "I already know this matter in my heart. You can stay in my mansion first. There are also Qingke in the house who know some of the ways of Qihuang, and they will help you to check your physical condition, if it is not difficult to treat, it should be fine------

"Thank you, uncle." Li Wenjin was grateful.

"Thanks for what? It was originally a family. Zhu Yuren waved his hand. Wen Jin has been on the run for many years, why didn't he come to Tiandu to look for me earlier? But it's time to come back? ”

Li Wenjin's heart jumped, and he said expressionlessly: "Don't hide it from your uncle, whether to come to ask your uncle for help before, Wen Jin still hesitates in his heart------"

"You're afraid I won't help you?"

"I don't doubt my uncle's willingness to help others, I'm just worried that the Song family's power will put my uncle in a difficult situation."

"Now that the Song clan is more powerful than in the past, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm just thinking ----- I don't have a few days to die, and I always have to take the risk to give it a try----- what can I do if I ----- uncle?"

Zhu Yuren's eyes were like knives, scraping around Li Wenjin's face. Li Wenjin felt a hot pain on his face, but he didn't dare to dodge, and tried hard to meet Zhu Yuren's eyes.

After a long time, Zhu Yuren sighed softly and called: "Zhu Li, take Wenjin to rest." ”

"Yes, sir." Zhu Li agreed and walked out of the study with Li Wenjin.

Zhu Yuren stood in the study, looking at the four big characters on the plaque hanging on the wall: Bright and dust-free.

This was given to him by the emperor by hand, and there was not even a signature or seal. However, Zhu Yuren is grateful, and has always taken these four words as his standard of conduct and the way of being an official.

"Dust-free, dust-free, who in the world can be dust-free?" Zhu Yuren muttered to himself: "Zhu is honored, and I don't know which one sees him as the sharp blade that stabbed at the Song family------ for the country and the people, and even more for his best friend, this knife must be done by himself." ”

In the silk shop, Li Muyang has become more and more comfortable. If the other guys are too busy, he can take care of the new customers by himself.

Gao Dafu and Chen Goudan both have a good impression of Li Muyang's generosity, and they are a little afraid of the boss lady and cousin behind him, so they will not take the initiative to offend. Mo Li was also a little more affectionate to him because Li Muyang made a big deal with Cui Cheng and Princess Chu Ning. I think that although this kid is not good-looking, but ugly people have ugly blessings, and they can still make money for the store.

He didn't know the true identity of the boss of his own family, and he only thought that he was a rich man in Tiandu City.

When Li Muyang was carrying the dust whisk to clean up the dust on the store, the proprietress with red sleeves suddenly broke in, pointed at Li Muyang and scolded: "Huang Ergou, how many times have I told you, when you come, you will work hard, observe with your eyes, study with your heart----- you look at you, let you clean the store, you use the dust to shake around, where did all the ashes fall?" Falling on the silk, falling on the silk, the color of the silk will be black and dark, and when the guests come, they think it is the old goods of previous years, how can this be sold? ”

The proprietress was furious, and the guys in the store were silent, and even Mo Li looked up at Li Muyang and showed dissatisfaction.

"Look at your dead appearance, don't influence others to do business in the store, come out for me, I'm going to teach you a good lesson today------" Red Sleeves shouted angrily and took the lead.

"Boss, don't be angry. Huang Ergou, he just came over, he doesn't understand the rules, I will finish things for him, and I will definitely not let the guests see that the dust has fallen on the silk shop in our store------" Gao Dafu saw that Li Muyang was about to be punished, gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and interceded for Li Muyang in front of the red sleeves.

"Yes, Huang Ergou has made a big business when he first came, and he is already the hero of our store----- he is much stronger than when I first came to Dafu, so the proprietress will give Ergou one more chance." He will definitely get better and better----- Ergou, you apologize to the proprietress quickly, you won't make such a mistake again in the future, right?" ”

"You two have itchy skin?" Red Sleeves sneered again and again: "When the old lady teaches people, do you two turtle grandsons have to speak?" Go and work for me. ”

Red Sleeves glared at Li Muyang viciously, I don't know when he knew how to buy people's hearts so well, the two fools in the store looked like they were already wearing the same pants as him.

"Huang Ergou, you come with me. I'm going to talk to you today. ”

Li Muyang walked out of the store under the worried eyes of several people, and followed Red Sleeves to the backyard where the family lived.

Entering the room, closing the door, Red Sleeves whispered, "Childe, we have already sent people in." ”

"Hmm." Li Muyang nodded. "Well done."

"Although Zhu Yuren is famous for his uprightness, he is a famous official in Tiandu City. But this man is very wise, and he has stood in the officialdom for decades------ will he fall for our scheme? ”

"Count? What's the meter? Li Muyang asked rhetorically.

"Didn't Childe want that Zhu Yuren to stand up and overturn the case for the Li family?"

"That's right." Li Muyang nodded and said, "But, what's the plan? We just sent the son of Zhu Yuren's confidant and friend to him because of the situation, so that he could know the truth about what happened back then------ whether he wanted to overturn the case for the Li family, it was his own choice. It has nothing to do with us. ”

"I'm afraid that Li Jinwen will be seen through by him, knowing that he was instructed by someone----- at that time, I'm afraid that I have some feelings in my heart, and I can't help but feel a little colder, right?"

"Skepticism is inevitable. However, I didn't ask you to teach Li Jinwen a set of words----- that set of words is true, and his physical illness is also true. Even if Zhu Yuren has some doubts, how can he distinguish between truth and falsehood? ”

After a pause, Li Muyang continued: "Moreover, whether Zhu Yuren is willing to stand up and overturn the case for the Li clan is not about whether Li Jinwen has deceived him, but on how much ------ is left of his feelings or gratitude for the Li clan."

"Childe, even if Zhu Yuren is willing to stand up and overturn the case for the Li family, will he be able to turn it over?"

"So, we need another key player to step in." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Li Muyang's mouth.
