When Liu Sheng arrived at the Tingwei Mansion in a chariot and stepped out of the carriage after the prince washed the horse and sang for a long time, the trial of the Tingwei Mansion against the case of Zhou Yafu's 'intention to rebel' had already officially begun.

Zhou Yafu, the Marquis of Tiao, after all, is a meritorious hero of the society and an important minister who once served as prime minister;

committed such a big case, Tianziqi ordered that the court lieutenant be arbitrary, and Zhao Yu, the 'young handsome' who had just served as the court lieutenant, naturally did not care about greeting Liu Sheng in person.

So, Liu Shengtangtang Prince Prince arrived at the Tingwei Mansion to observe the interrogation of Tingwei Zhao Yu on the Marquis Zhou Yafu······

"This Zhao Yu is illiterate!"

"-Eh~"

"—you can't say that."

Led by Zuo Chengcheng, the captain of Nating, walking on the road to the interrogation cell, he heard Ji Di's indignant complaints beside him, but Liu Sheng just smiled indifferently.

Quite deliberately looked left and right, obviously saw the accompanying court officials, but Liu Sheng still ignored it, as if 'sure that there was no one around', and whispered to Ji Di: "Court Captain Zhao Yu is a very honest and upright person. ”

"Even the Imperial Doctor Chao Cuo said: Tingwei Zhao Yu is an honest person, and since he was a official, he has no diners;"

"Such a person, I don't know that it's not a big deal."

"-After all, right now, Zhao Tingwei is in the emperor's life~"

"It's a little rude, and it's definitely not to the point of 'not knowing the number of etiquette'."

Speaking indifferently, Liu Sheng didn't forget to smile and stretch out his hand and gently pat Ji Di on the shoulder beside him.

Then, Liu Sheng ignored the different looks of the court lieutenants and officials beside him, and walked forward by himself.

And behind Liu Sheng, looking at the back of His Royal Highness the Prince, the court captains, you look at me, I look at you;

In the end, he still lowered his weak gaze to Ji Di's indignant face······

"Please wash the horse, please ······"

·

"Greetings to Your Highness."

"Greetings, Greetings ······"

"-Waiver~"

Walking into Tingwei's prison, he roughly glanced around, and found that the cell was not darker than he imagined, so Liu Sheng smacked his tongue to himself;

Hearing the salutation of all the interrogating officials, including Zhao Yu, Liu Sheng also waved his hand casually, and immediately stepped forward and sat down on a high chair in the cell.

It was only at this time that Liu Sheng's gaze finally fell on the mud couch not far in front of him.

——A generation of famous generals: Tiaohou Zhou Yafu, at the moment with his back to Liu Sheng, lying on the mud couch with his back in a huff.

At the same time that Liu Sheng sat down, Zhao Yu, who had not gone out to greet him, also appeared behind Liu Sheng's diagonal at the right time.

"Your Highness."

"The case of Zhou Yang, the envoy of the Hou Shizi, who secretly stored armor and conspired to rebel, has basically been investigated."

"Just wait for Zhou Yafu to admit his guilt, and the minister can bring the case to His Majesty and make a final decision on the coffin······"

"-Humph!"

"—Yellow-haired children!!"

Before Zhao Yu's report was over, a thunderous snort sounded on the mud couch.

When the people in the cell raised their heads in disbelief, their eyes were bullied, but they were still the stubborn backs with their backs to everyone, facing the walls of the cell, and lying on their sides 'thinking about the wall'.

Regarding Zhou Yafu's resentment, Liu Sheng rarely didn't care - perhaps it should be said that he deliberately ignored it;

only smiled playfully at the stubborn back, and sighed lightly as usual: "Hmm~"

"It was so quick to find out such a big case, it seems that my father decided to let Qing Lai serve as the court lieutenant, and he really didn't choose the wrong person."

···

"Let's talk about it."

"What's going on in this case?"

As soon as Liu Sheng's words fell, he saw Zhao Yu naturally bow his waist, and immediately turned sideways, and 'transformed' a roll of bamboo slips like a trick;

Spreading out the bamboo slips, he cleared his throat rather contrivedly, and began to read aloud the contents of the bamboo slips.

"The criminal minister Zhou Yafu, since he resigned from the post of prime minister and returned to his hometown to raise his honor, he has always had a lot of complaints about His Majesty;"

"Although there are no disrespectful words, but complaining that His Majesty does not reuse his own words, Zhou Yafu has mentioned it to others more than once······"

"-Tell me!"

Zhao Yu didn't have the strength to say a word, and the stubborn back let out another roar without accident;

But whether it was Zhao Yu, who was reporting to work, or Liu Sheng, the crown prince who was listening to the report, they all tacitly ignored Zhou Yafu's incompetent roar······

"Later, Zhou Yang, the son of Hou Shizi, saw that the criminal Zhou Yafu was resentful, so he discussed with his father Zhou Yafu."

"Zhou Yafu sent Zhou Yang: In the name of purchasing funeral things, you can find a craftsman to make 500 armor and shields each, in case of 'unexpected needs'."

"Regarding Zhou Yafu's confession, Hou Shizi Zhou Yang also dissuaded him, saying: It is a felony to privately store armor shields, and if the incident occurs, the clan will not be protected."

"But Zhou Yafu said: After his deceased father, Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiangwu, resigned from the post of prime minister, he also secretly stored armor in the palace in case of 'unforeseen needs', but in the end he was not punished by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen;"

"Your Majesty, as a descendant of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, will naturally not treat the descendants of Zhou Bo, Marquis of Jiangwu, harshly because of these five hundred pairs of shields."

"Zhou Yafu also said: Even without the credit of Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiangwu, Zhou Yafu's own merits to the Han family are also unclear for generations of the Liu family······

"—Bastard !!"

"--It's a bastard !!!!!"

Another deliberate 'description' finally made Zhou Yafu unbearable in his chest, jumped up from the mud couch, and was about to pounce on Zhao Yu!

It's obvious: Zhou Yafu can't pounce.

Because at this moment, Zhao Yu is close to the left rear of Liu Sheng, but only half a step away······

"Zhao Yu dog thief!"

"Ann dares to deceive me!!"

"A certain Zhou Yafu, how could he have said such a rebellious bastard thing!!"

"——Back then, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a certain treatment of you Zhao Yu can be described as unkind!!"

"Yellow-haired child, once he was crowned by the monkey, An Dare will take revenge, and repay the kindness of a certain acquaintance with resentment?!!!!!"

Before the tiger could pounce on it, it was set up by the jailer next to him, but Zhou Yafu's monstrous anger did not weaken in the slightest;

He only tried his best to widen his eyes and greet him with a cannibalistic and ferocious gaze, and the slightly messy beard under his chin also trembled slightly with anger at this moment.

Being watched by Zhou Yafu with such a fierce gaze, although Zhao Yu was not weak-hearted, he also unnaturally moved his gaze to the side;

It's just that the bamboo slip in his hand has not forgotten the traces in front of Liu Sheng.

Then, the words on the bamboo slip raised an extremely strange smile on Liu Sheng's face with a faint smile······

——Although Zhao Yu was 'reading' the text on the bamboo slip, as far as Liu Sheng saw at the moment, the content on the bamboo slip was completely different from the content that Zhao Yu 'read'.

On the lips, Zhao Yu used words such as 'Hou Shizi, the envoy behind Zhou Yafu', 'custom-made shield in the name of funeral supplies', and 'in case of emergency'.

But on the bamboo slips, Liu Sheng saw the real story of this matter.

At the beginning, it was Hou Shizi Zhou Yang who felt that his father Zhou Yafu was old, or he had a premonition that Zhou's was about to 'come to a great disaster', so he had the idea of buying funeral goods for his father.

Zhou Yang has such an idea, which is understandable in this era.

——Nowadays, the Han family, for funerals, pays attention to 'serving death as living'.

Translated into the vernacular, which is easier for later generations to understand, it is what happens when you are alive, and what you have to do when you die and go underground.

When he was a civil official during his lifetime, he had to accompany the funeral pen and ink, bamboo slips, and bamboo slips used during his life for 'dancing and writing and ink' after death;

If you are a military general during your lifetime, you have to accompany the funeral knives, guns, sticks, and rewards for meritorious service during your lifetime, so that you can 'dance knives and guns' after death.

The former is not sensitive, although the latter is a little sensitive because of the 'ordnance', but for similar phenomena, whether it is the government and the opposition, or the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, they basically turn a blind eye.

- Emperor Taizu Gao was crowned a meritorious marquis for more than 140 years, who didn't bring more than 100 blades to accompany the funeral? !

Even now, those second and third generations who only know about cockfighting and lackeys all day long will also use sensitive ordnance such as armor and crossbow machines as funeral objects after death.

If it was just this matter, then Zhou Yafu would not have died at all.

But what is obvious is that what really wants Zhou Yafu to die is not the five hundred armor shields;

Or: People who really want to put Zhou Yafu to death don't need to find too perfect an excuse at all······

"Hou Shizi Zhou Yang bought funeral things, so he hired someone to make 500 pairs of armor shields;"

"Subsequently, because the deadline was too tight, the craftsmen offered to pay part of the fee upfront to hire people to speed up the progress."

"Zhou Yang was unwilling, and the craftsmen knew that they could not complete the entrustment within the construction period, so they simply reported Zhou Yang for privately accumulating armor shields and plotting to rebel······"

···

"Hey;"

"This Zhou Yang is also a superb ······"

After carefully looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, Liu Sheng, who had already understood the cause and effect of the incident, finally raised his head as usual;

Naturally handed the bamboo slip back to Zhao Yu beside him, and his interested gaze fell on Zhou Yafu, who was still being restrained by the jailers not far in front of him.

It was at this time that Zhao Yu started the interrogation process again······

"What do you mean by that?"

"Did I wronged the prince?"

"—isn't it!!"

Another roar came out, Zhou Yafu only blew his beard angrily and glared, if it wasn't for the jailer next to him to stop him, I was afraid that he would not be able to pounce on Zhao Yu and tear this 'protégé' to pieces with his bare hands!

In front of Zhou Yafu's monstrous anger and even terrifying murderous intent, Zhao Yu raised his hand unhurriedly and raised the bamboo slip in his hand provocatively.

"Then, please explain to the prince."

"If you don't want to rebel, why would the prince support Hou Shizi and hire someone to make a shield?"

"If it's three or five officers, that's fine;"

"The prince said that it was a funeral bravery, and the rest can still believe it."

"But the prince and the prince made it to the prince, but it is a full five hundred pairs of armor shields?"

···

"With this batch of ordnance, and five hundred brave men, this is five hundred armor and shield soldiers."

"Don't say it's a county, a county;"

"With these five hundred armor shield elites, the prince is in Chang'an, and it may not be impossible to rise up and rise up and subvert Liu Han Sheji."

···

"Yu admires the martial arts background of the prince and the marquis, and he has the arrogance of a martial artist."

"But things have come to this point, does the prince still stubbornly defend himself: These five hundred armor shields are his own funeral things?"

"Or is it that the prince is so old, but he wants to blame his own prince for such a serious crime?"

was slow and reasonable, and couldn't find a logical loophole at all, which only made Zhou Yafu angry again;

It's just that the martial artist is stupid, Zhou Yafu is not good at words, and he is upright, so he can't care about sorting out his thoughts at all.

Stunned by Zhao Yu's series of questions, Zhou Yafu finally only snorted indignantly, shook his shoulders slightly, and threw back half a step from the jailers who restrained him on his side.

After regaining his freedom, Zhou Yafu did not 'storm and hurt others' again, but turned slightly sideways with some arrogance, put his hands behind his back, and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture.

"What did that bastard do, I don't know!"

"Martial arts bones, there is something!"

"To know is to know, not to know is not to know!!"

···

"Even if that bastard is made into a shield, it is definitely not for the sake of rebellion!"

"I, Zhou, will not be such a chaotic thief!"

"It's not the turn of a yellow-haired boy like Zhao Yu, who reverses right and wrong here and wrongs the pillars of the society!!"

was full of anger, and tried his best to suppress a few roars of anger, but it still did not make Zhao Yu's expression change in the slightest;

Seeing that Zhao Yu heard this, he only stared deeply into the depths of Zhou Yafu's gaze.

stared at it for a long time, and in the end, he still asked coldly: "Junhou, why do you want to rebel······

"-There is no rebellion!"

"——I, the Zhou family, have never had the idea of rebellion for generations!!"

···

"-My son bought all funeral goods, how can you say that you Zhao Yu said that it was a rebellion?!!"

"-Could it be that this Han family doesn't have a ······place to be reasonable and reasonable?"

"Even if you don't rebel on the ground, I'm afraid the prince will want to rebel underground!!"

"Roaring in the Tingwei Prison, can you wash away your great rebellious sins?!!!!

Finally;

From beginning to end, Zhao Yu, who maintained the calmness that an interrogator should have, finally broke out.

And Zhao Yu's outburst plunged the entire cell into a long period of absolute tranquility.

In front of the mud couch, Zhou Yafu was dumbfounded, as if he was stunned, but his eyes were still full of resentment;

Three steps away, Zhao Yu's face was calm, and he was not afraid to look at Zhou Yafu's cannibalistic fierce gaze.

And Liu Sheng was still sitting firmly on the high chair, with the faint smile on his face that seemed to be engraved on his face······

"Let's all go down."

"Lonely, I have something to say to the Hou alone."

"—Your Highness······"

"Down~Go~"

"You don't have to leave someone to guard it."

···

"There are many rumors in the market - when Emperor Taizu Gao was dying, he once said left and right: If the Han is in trouble and the Han is in trouble, the one who will be safe will be born."

"Come to think of it, the son of Zhou Bo, Marquis of Jiangwu, will not be unfavorable to the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao?"

"Huh?"

"What does the Marquis think?"
