Baoding Governor Yamen.

Han Jun, the governor of Baoding, who was in charge of the "assassination of King Fu", has been suffering from this case for three days.

On one side of his desk, there was a military book, and on the other side was an account of grain, grass and ordnance, shouldering multiple responsibilities, and his face was very solemn at this time.

"The government appeased King Fu for two days, and supervised the conscription overnight. As soon as Wen Ru came today, he chased after him and asked about the assassination of King Fu, did he have any suggestions? ”

The Confucianism in the mouth of Governor Han Jun is Yang Lian's words.

Yang Lian's Donglin Party is the descendant of the current prince and the political enemy of King Fu's faction. When he heard that King Fu was assassinated, his first reaction was that King Fu and others were doing something and wanted to use the assassin's affairs to blame the prince, so he volunteered to supervise the rapid handling of the case and never let people slander the prince.

The way to deal with this matter quickly and make it impossible for King Fu's faction to slander the prince is to kill Wang Hongyu as soon as possible, so that the prince is absolutely worry-free.

He looked serious: "The emperor of this case requires that it be dealt with as soon as possible, except for Wang Hongyu, a martial artist on the night of the assassination, no one else in the Zhenjue Temple knows martial arts." The deceased was King Fu's henchman, his body was strong and his martial arts were not weak, the cause of death was a fatal knife wound, and the murderer must be Wang Hongyu! ”

"I don't think we need to draw conclusions so quickly, and we should slowly investigate the truth."

"Can't be delayed!" Yang Lian stood up suddenly, and said with a righteous voice: "The emperor is very concerned about this matter and asks that it be dealt with as soon as possible, Lord Han has already made a decision!" The murderer should be executed quickly in the same way as the murder case, so as to prevent him from biting people indiscriminately and causing trouble in the world. ”

Han Jun, the governor of Baoding, sighed in his heart, thinking that once this case involved the royal family, it really became very tricky.

Fu Wang heard that the emperor was sick, on the way to visit Beijing to Baoding the most famous Zhenjue Temple to pray for blessings, at first said that the next day arrived, but worried that his father was anxious, Yin Shi arrived, in order not to raise the teacher to move the crowd did not clear the field in the middle of the night, as a result, the henchman was killed, Fu Wang himself was frightened.

There is another meaning in Yang Lian's words just now, that is, the assassination of King Fu may be self-directed and self-acted, and Concubine Zheng and King Fu want to blame the prince for the assassination by someone else. Therefore, it is necessary to erase Wang Hongyu and let the case end quickly.

Five years ago, the attack case was boiling, and now there is an "assassin case", Han Jun knows that he can't openly oppose Yang Lian, because it is a blatant break with the prince and the Donglin Party.

If you really want to kill it in a hurry, the truth will sink into the sea.

In fact, in addition to the reason that the truth is unknown, there are also people who specifically ask for Wang Hongyu.

At that time, the eunuch Chen Ju, who was honest and corrected the evils of the times, was a rare eunuch who was friendly with civil officials.

He had the grace of helping him back then, and then became friends and met Liu Shimin, the young eunuch beside Chen Ju. Regardless of whether they were civil officials or eunuchs, they often talked about the current situation, loved to play the piano, recited poetry, and collected antique paintings and calligraphy. There are many exchanges with various books such as "Zuo Chuan", "Chinese", "Shiji", and "Hanshu".

After that, the career was smooth sailing, even if Chen Ju has died of illness now, and the eunuch Liu Shimin's position is not high, but he cannot be ungrateful.

Last night, the eunuch Liu Shimin sent a confidant to ask to see him, begging Wang Hongyu to help him and save face.

Although, I don't know what the relationship between Liu Shimin and Wang Hongyu is, but since I agreed, of course I have to listen to what he has to say, otherwise in the future, it will be said that he is cold-hearted and ungrateful, which will greatly hinder his reputation and career.

Of course, it was impossible for him to guess that Liu Shimin later changed his name to Liu Ruoyu during the Wei Zhongxian period, and he was a eunuch with a good level of literature and art, and a good reputation in history. Even in this life, under the influence of Wang Hongyu, Liu Ruoyu will be famous at home and abroad for carrying forward Chinese culture in the future, almost comparable to the Three Treasures Eunuch Zheng He~

Han Jun had a little headache, Yang Lian was aggressive, and kept pestering him to make a decision early.

"Report!"

Yang Lian's scribe hurried in, his left and right faces swollen, as funny as a big peach.

"You! How did it look like this! Yang Lian questioned his scribe.

The scribe and Yang Lian walked aside, lowered their voices and said: "My lord, the jailer who was bribed last night didn't succeed, today the little one wants to isolate the inside and outside, and directly let him confess and force him to death, but I didn't expect to be ......."

"Useless stuff."

Although Han Jun didn't hear it on the side, he could see that they had missed a small move behind their backs, and said with a smile:

"Oh, I'm afraid your scribe isn't a martial arts competition, right? Losing to the first opponent in Sichuan Wuju is not ashamed at all~"

Yang Lian replied angrily: "There is such a big thing in the realm of the governor, don't you have to laugh at the scribe of the lower officials, right?" ”

"Hehe, I guess Wang Hongyu still wants to tell the case in the end, right?"

Although Han Jun smiled, he had a sense of majesty, and he said this to the scribe who had lost his courage, and the scribe replied obediently: "He said that there is a case to report." ”

Han Jun also nodded slightly: "That's the case, let's listen to what he says, so that you can give Your Majesty and King Fu an explanation of the past." ”

After all, Yang Lian's real power was not as good as that of the governor, so he had to agree.

......

Wang Hongyu was hooded, handcuffed and shackled, and walked around a stick of incense before bringing it into the lobby.

As soon as he took off the black hood, he felt two sharp eyes on him.

The white-bearded red-robed official has only one in the entire Baoding, and it must be Han Jun, the governor of Baoding.

The middle-aged official who stared at him with a very unfriendly gaze, his face was extremely upright, but his eyes seemed to be very profound, this person is afraid that it is not Yang Lian, right?

Feeling Wang Hongyu's scrutinizing gaze, Yang Lian was holding back the fire, directly angry and righteous, and said in a deliberately majestic tone: "Wang Hongyu, you were imprisoned four days ago, and you didn't say a word. Now that I'm afraid of death, do you have to open your mouth to quibble? ”

This way of questioning, although it seems a bit scary to deliberately buckle the hat, but as a Shangguan, it seems to be lacking in confidence in this way.

Ignoring Yang Lian at all, he bowed to the red-robed and white-bearded official: "Humble Wang Hongyu, I am willing to explain the truth to the governor, this matter involves the safety of King Fu, and there is another assassin killer at large, please retire unrelated personnel." ”

"Bold!" Yang Lian took the case: "We are interrogating you, do you dare to mention such conditions!?" ”

Of course he understands that what Wang Hongyu said just now is actually alluding to himself. He has been a speech official for many years, and it is the first time that a martial artist dares to treat him like this.

Han Jun glanced at Yang Lian, who was losing his temper, and didn't bother to deal with it at all, and then Wang Hongyu's words said: "It's not impossible to retreat, but this government is in Baoding, if it is related to the case, you can directly say that this government can call the shots here." ”

Yang Lian was so angry that he was stunned, what do you say, this house can call the shots, who can you say it to!?

Wang Hongyu didn't care about Yang Lian, and nodded solemnly at Han Jun: "My lord, in the case of King Fu's assassination, please inform me of the dossier that I know." ”

"Nonsense!"

Han Jun raised his hand and stopped Yang Lian, who was about to get angry again.

Wang Hongyu said in his heart Yang Lian, Yang Lian, aren't you afraid that Han Jun is not even afraid of Wanli, and are you still afraid of you, the official who relies on the prince?

"We've been working on the file for a long time, and only you have the time and ability to kill. If you are shown the dossier, will you confess your sins? ”

Han Jun had something to say in his words, saying that he was the only one who had the time to commit the crime, but he also said "give you the file".

Of course, Wang Hongyu understood, and said solemnly: "A certain person was at the scene at the time, and he could give different opinions on the situation of this case. ”
