Chapter 38: Live Chess

Liu Zhu is actually not very angry, but since he was in the evil deeds of the Liangzhou Army at that time, he was still a little depressed in his heart, and he was covered by other emotions before, and he just happened to vent it at this time.

But hearing Wen Gu's words, Liu Taishou's hand that was originally stretched out to the package temporarily turned around, patted the position in front of him, and then sat down, and said, "The house is messy, and you have to clean up whether you travel or not." ”

After Liu Zhu finished speaking, seeing that he didn't say anything, he immediately laughed dryly twice, and said: "I know that my aunt will not sit idly by." I wonder what my aunt's plan is? ”

Wen was not surprised by him like this, and before he could speak, he happened to see Wen Liang and a few secret guards carrying a coffin, coming in from the main entrance, and the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion followed closely with a dozen strong men holding long sticks, and all of them had a nervous and vigilant look on their faces.

"Master, this person..."The housekeeper wanted to stop Wen Liang, but obviously failed, and hurriedly wanted to return to Liu Zhu, but he didn't want him to go out for a while, and there were several more people in the inner hall, and the second half of the sentence was stopped.

Liu Shu had seen Wen Liang, and hurriedly said, "It's none of your business, go down." ”

The housekeeper looked at his master, and then looked at Wen Gu Wenliang and the others in turn, and for a while he couldn't tell whether the master was coerced or not, and the family members were the same as him, and they all froze there and didn't move.

Seeing this, Liu Zhu ordered again: "Stop what you are doing, and don't let people walk around." Go, go, go. ”

The housekeeper saw that although his expression was different, he did not look like he was being persecuted, so he bowed and withdrew.

Zhixia had been holding a box in her arms when she came in, and when she opened it at this time, it was an old ginseng that was some years old, and when she saw the housekeeper leaving, she also caught up, and she didn't know what to do.

Then, several secret guards put the coffin into the inner hall, opened the lid of the coffin, and went out to watch around the inner hall.

"What is this?" Liu Shu didn't dare to step forward to take a look, but just asked.

"This is the way I found my nephew's life." Refreshed replied.

Liu Zhu thought to himself, pointing to the coffin and talking about the way to live, if it was heard from other people's mouths, it might be very awkward, but from the mouth of his aunt, it was not half inappropriate, so he asked again: "Is there a corpse here?" ”

Wen said with a smile: "Nephew, let's go forward and identify it to see if you know this person." ”

When Liu Zhu heard this, he stepped forward to check, but saw that there was indeed a man's corpse lying in the coffin, this person was still young, and it could still be seen from his eyebrows that he was chic before his death, but he had been dead for a few days, and he already had some bad smell.

Liu Zhu thought for a long time, confirmed that this person was not his acquaintance, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

But he didn't answer the question: "Do you know my nephew, who asked you to go to Beijing to take up your post?" ”

Liu said: "Since the two adults from the Ministry of War and the Criminal Department came to summon it, presumably, it should be Song Xiang." ”

Wen asked again: "Then who is behind Song Xiang?" ”

"Naturally, it's the Second Highness."

Wen nodded and said: "Then if the driving department Langzhong you see is not the driving department Langzhong of the military department, but someone replaced him halfway, why do you think it is?" ”

Liu Zhu reacted quickly, heard Wen Su say this, and thought about all the things in Dengyun Tower today, and hurriedly said: "What does my aunt mean is that someone wants to trick me into Beijing by means of Song Xiang?" But why didn't you say this? ”

Seeing that he could think clearly, he thought further and did not speak.

Liu Shu understood the situation above the Southern Chu Dynasty very well, but after thinking about it for a while, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Could it be His Highness?" However, how can Tongcheng have anything to do with Lianzhou, and I have nothing to do with them, so what is the reason for summoning me to Beijing? ”

Of course, Liu Shu didn't know, and he couldn't imagine that these were all follow-ups involved in Li Xun's incident.

Wen had no intention of hiding it from him, so he made the relationship between Li Xun and Lianzhou roughly clear with him.

Liu Zhu shook his head again when he heard this, and he was shocked again. Wen also truthfully explained to him that he did not expect that an ordinary stonemason from Qianlong County would be involved in the succession dispute in Lianzhou.

But at this point, it is useless to say anything more. Liu Zhu originally thought that he could get relief here in Huigu, but he didn't expect that the matter was far more serious than he thought.

However, under such a critical situation, Liu Zhu became calmer, and went around in such a big circle, but he didn't say anything about the way of life just mentioned, and hurriedly asked: "My aunt said that the way to live is here at this time, who is this person?" Please let my aunt know. ”

Now that the situation is clear, it's time to tell him how to deal with it.

Wen Su said calmly: "This person is Tang Mingyi." ”

Hearing this name, and looking at the person who was already dead in the coffin, Liu Zhi felt that his mind was chaotic again after a long time.

Recalling tonight's words, Liu Zhu really felt what it means to cross the Yellow River and climb the snow-covered mountains. The road is blocked by her.

Outside Tongcheng that day, Li Mao's actions of deceiving him were not as exciting as today. He only felt suffocated in his chest for a while, and then his eyes were dark, his legs were weak, and he just sat on the ground, almost rolling his eyes, and went with the second highness.

Li Mao was about to step forward to help him, but Liu Zhu took the first step to stand up with the coffin, and as frightened, he dragged his legs to the side, found a place to sit down, as if he wanted to put aside the relationship, and tried to stay away from the coffin.

Li Mao was about to step forward to persuade him again, but Liu Zhu hurriedly raised his hand to stop him from talking, and held his forehead with one hand to ease his spirit.

Zhixia happened to come back at this time, holding a bowl of ginseng tea in her hand, and Wen Yu motioned for her to quickly pour it for Liu Zhi.

Zhixia explained for a long time, Liu Zhu drank it half-pushed and half-drunk on the spot, and after a while, his spirit calmed down a little, and then he asked Wen Gu weakly: "Second... Person... Did you kill it? ”

"It can be or it may not be." ”

Liu Zhi kept rubbing his chest with his hands, and his voice trembled: "I really can't think of things now, you can say how you arrange it, as long as I can save my life, I don't ask for anything else." ”

Wen Gu listened to Liu Zhi speak like this, but suddenly stood up, saluted him, and said: "This matter is indeed unexpected by me, and it is because of my fault that I have reached such a situation. ”

Liu Zhu waved his hand, said "It's okay" several times, and then said: "You are my aunt, my aunt." As long as the aunt took pity on the nephew, the nephew was very grateful and did not dare to talk about making amends. ”

Seeing that Liu Zhi's face was no longer as pale as Fang Cai, and his breath was a little calmer, he didn't dare to let him wait longer, so he said: "What I said just now is the two ways of life that Taishou is now. ”
