In the high-rise buildings in the backyard of the bridge house, the war has stopped. Diaphragm

The thieves upstairs have been slaughtered.

Although the thieves who broke into the mansion were quite brave, and at the last time, they sacrificed their lives to be the first, but they never broke through in front of Cao Liu and the others.

The scar-faced man led by him died under Liu Bei's sword.

This person was also very hard, and when Liu Bei's long sword entered his body, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

And although Liu Bei was able to capture this person alive, he also respected his hard bones, and directly killed this person with a sword, leaving him alone.

In such a situation, it is better to die than to live.

With the death of this person, Cao Liu and the others also fell to the ground, panting heavily. Diaphragm

Although the two of them said heroicly, they had been fighting for a long time, and they were already exhausted at this time.

It's just that Cao Cao still stood up and went to the back to hold Qiao Xuan's young son in his arms.

Liu Bei just laughed when he saw it.

He also stood up and leaned against the wall beside him.

At this time, Han Hao and Xiahoudun had already rushed up from behind with people, and the two of them had just rushed to the front, and now they were also covered in blood.

The two stepped forward to support Liu Bei and the others, and everyone walked downstairs together.

Qiao Xuan and Duan Cheng were waiting in the courtyard. Diaphragm

Duan Cheng comforted: "Gong Qiao doesn't need to worry, then Liu Bei and Cao Cao have some skills, and now that they are both upstairs, the child will be fine."

"I'm not worried, I'm not worried." Although Qiao Xuan said this in his mouth, his hands were already a little white at this time.

Duan Cheng sighed when he saw this, Qiao Xuan was so relieved when he gave the order to attack, and now that he has a glimmer of life, the worry on his face can no longer be hidden.

It's just that he can understand Qiao Xuan's state of mind at this time, where are parents in the world who don't love their children.

At this time, Cao Cao and the others had already gone downstairs, he took off the cloth strip from the eyes of the child in his arms, and handed the child to Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan took the child in his hand, comforted him a few words, and handed it over to the old servant on the side.

He didn't ask why the two were here, but quickly called a nearby medical worker to carry the two into the house to treat their injuries. Diaphragm

The two of them had suffered skin wounds, and the healer who had come was a good hand in the city, and after a few moments had already bandaged their wounds.

At this time, the two of them were covered in bandages and couldn't move, and they were sitting in the room chatting casually.

Cao Cao smiled: "Xuande, you shouldn't have killed that leader." If you leave a living mouth, you will definitely be able to ask where these people come from. ”

"If this person's life is spared, I am afraid that this person will live rather than die." Liu Bei took a deep breath and said with a smile.

Cao Cao shook his head, "Xuande, benevolence should also have a limit, too benevolent, I'm afraid it will become a drag in the future." ”

"Mende's words are reasonable." Liu Bei said with a smile, "It's just today's matter, what does it matter if you know the people behind the scenes?" I don't know who is behind the scenes, but it's better. Mengde, don't you say?"

Cao Cao also smiled when he heard this, "What Xuande said is also reasonable. "Ahh

The two looked at each other and smiled.

…………

At this time, Cheng had already left, and Qiao Xuan came to visit the two.

He had already learned the truth of the matter from Han Hao.

"I don't want to let the two of you get involved in this incident." Qiao Xuan smiled bitterly.

"Qiao Gong doesn't need to take it to heart, even if it is someone else's family, Meng De and I will also take action. There are some things that should not be compromised. Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Xuande will make a move, but I am not necessarily. If you can't kill a chicken this time, I'm afraid I'm sorry for the two of us. Cao Cao said with a smile. Diaphragm

Qiao Xuan nodded, "I thought you were returning to Qian County, but I didn't expect to sneak back again." Listen to my advice, after eating, take Xiahoudun and leave quickly, don't stay in Luoyang for a long time. And Xuande, it's best to stay on the Wushi Mountain honestly these days, and don't go down the mountain. Qiao Xuan said suddenly.

Cao Cao's expression froze, "The situation in Luoyang City now? ”

"You two are smart people, and you should have noticed some suspicions in this incident. In your opinion, is it a simple thief who can't do it this time?"

The two of them were speechless, and they really couldn't talk about it.

"Do you know why I resigned as a captain? Now the situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, and it is impossible to say that one day the eunuchs and courtiers will fight. I wanted to take a step back this time, not wanting things to come to the door right away. Qiao Xuan sighed.

Liu Bei and the others were still speechless.

This is also what the two of them said, why it is better to not find the person behind the scenes than to find the person behind the scenes. Diaphragm

】

Who knows if the person behind the scenes is a eunuch or a family? It's better if it's a eunuch.

But what if it's a family?

Qiao Xuan smiled: "It seems that you have also thought of it." That's how complicated the world is. Sometimes standing behind you, talking about admiration for the person you admire, but at some point you will also hand out the blade. ”

The two of them realized that it seemed that Qiao Xuanjue's shot was from the family.

Qiao Xuan smiled: "I won't say much on the side, I will resign and leave in a few days." After this, I no longer owe anything to this world. ”

If someone else is here, I can't say that I have to pretend to persuade Qiao Xuan to think of the common people in the world and stay more time in Luoyang. But now he has Cao and Liu in front of him, and he is naturally different from ordinary people.

Both of them understand one thing, in the political struggle, where does the difference between good and bad come from. Diaphragm

…………

In Luoyang City, in Wang Fu's private residence, Wang Fu has been drinking since the middle of the day, and he has been drinking until sunset.

He hadn't been so happy in a long time.

Today, his adopted son Peixiang Wang Ji rarely entered the city to see him, and the father and son had not seen each other for many days, but now they suddenly saw each other, and they were naturally happy.

Wang Fu has been in the palace since he was a child, like other palace people, after gaining power, he has gathered a lot of righteous sons, and he is also rare to have a little sincerity towards these righteous sons.

Wicked people naturally have an uncommon tender side.

And among these righteous sons, he loves Peixiang Wang Ji the most. Diaphragm

Although Wang Ji is the son of a eunuch, he is quite talented. Naturally intelligent and good at discernment.

It's just that this man has a violent temperament, and kills a lot where he is.

All murders are put on the corpse car, according to their crimes, declared to belong to the county, and the summer moon is rotten, then the bones are connected with ropes, and the county is stopped.

Although he was repeatedly impeached after taking office, Wang Fu was on it, so he naturally raised his hand and pressed it down.

It's just that what makes Wang Fu happiest today is not this matter, but hearing about Qiao Xuan's family.

Although he didn't know who did it, he thought that Qiao Xuan would probably not be able to stay in Luoyang City.

Without the suppression of Qiao Xuan, an upright person, he can use this to collect a lot of money. Diaphragm

"Father, why is he so happy?" Wang Ji asked after pouring Wang Fu a glass of wine.

Wang Fu said with a smile: "When you first came to Luoyang, you still don't know about Qiaoxuan."

He told Wang Ji about Qiao Xuan.

Wang Ji was silent for a moment and said, "Father, this is indeed a good opportunity. Now that there is a matter of Qiaoxuan, everyone will be in danger among the scholars, and we can indeed take this opportunity to make a profit. ”

"Will the plan be released?" Wang Fu was also interested.

Wang Ji hesitated slightly, although his method can make a lot of money, but it involves a lot, if something happens, even Wang Fu can't hide it.

After just hesitating for a moment, he still spoke, "Now is the time to get rid of the official's property again, Jingzhao is rich, as long as we do something secretly, it is not difficult to get more money." Wang Ji said. Diaphragm

Wang Fu was silent, he was also an old fox, so he naturally knew that there was a lot at stake.

Just thinking that if he didn't do this at this time, he was afraid that he would never have a chance in the future, so he exhaled and slapped it heavily on the table in front of him, "It's done, how can you not take off the property that was delivered to you." It's just that you have to keep it secretive. ”

Wang Ji nodded, "Father, don't worry, I know how powerful this is." But now that Sili Captain Yangqiu is our own person, as long as we are cautious, we will be fine. ”

…………

Shiyangqiu was newly relocated to the school captain, and Wang Fu's father and son contributed a lot to it.

On this day, someone came to visit secretly.

This person came in the middle of the night, in a black robe and black clothes, and when he entered, he even covered his face with the hood behind him. Diaphragm

Yang Qiu led the person into the room, and the person who came pulled the black hat on his head behind him, revealing a rather delicate face.

If Liu Bei is here, he will definitely be able to recognize this person at a glance, this person is the current Jing Zhaoyin, the son of Yang Ci of the Yang family, Yang Biao.

Yang Qiu said with a smile: "Wen Xian's generous family, Yang Gong didn't deceive the dark room in the past, why did Wen Xian walk at night today?"

"Fangzheng's new secretary, I am naturally here to congratulate, by the way, I want to ask you if Yangqiu has forgotten his past ambitions?" Yang Biao said.

Yang Qiu smiled and shook his head, he and Yang Biao have always been friends, but Yang Biao is too straightforward, if he is more sleek, with the Yang family's family background, he will not be mixed with a small Jing Zhaoyin now.

He smiled and said: "Naturally, I haven't forgotten, why did Fei Wen come here to teach me something?"

"In the past, when Fang Zheng was drinking with me, when he talked about Wang Fu's father and son, he often patted his patella and sighed. Diaphragm

"Now it is rumored everywhere that Fang Zheng has become a minion of eunuchs, and he doesn't believe it, now is an opportunity to deal with Wang Fu's father and son, can Fang Zheng be interested?" Yang Biao stared at Yang Qiu.

Yang Qiu laughed, "Prophet Wen, why don't you dare." In the past, he bowed to the eunuchs, and he is waiting for today. ”

………………

A few days later, Yang Qiu begged to see the Spirit Emperor in the palace, when Wang Fu was resting at home, and the Spirit Emperor was only served by Jian Shuo.

"Yang Qing is newly appointed to the position of lieutenant, and now he is busy, why did he come to see me in a hurry?" Liu Hong gently knocked on the dragon chair behind him and looked at the Yang Qiu who was bowing his head to His Highness.

Yang Qiu said in a deep voice: "The minister is not here for a side matter, and he wants to impeach Wang Fu."

Emperor Ling smiled, "Among the people who recommended you to serve as the captain of the Sili school that day was he Wang Fu, and now you have just ascended to the position of the captain of the Sili school, and you have not yet made meritorious contributions, so you impeached the benefactor first, where is there such a reason." "Ahh

"Ministers are courtiers, and everything they think and do is the business of the family and the country. Now that Wang Fu and others have committed the law, the ministers cannot sit idly by. Yang Ball grabbed the ground with his head, thumping.

"I know Qing Zhongyi, what Wang Fu has done, Qing can talk about it in detail." Liu Hong said with a smile.

Yang Qiu also knew the character of Emperor Ling, so he only lightly mentioned Wang Jicao's management of human life, and focused on corruption this time.

"Your Majesty, the protégé was born in the Jingzhao Realm, and the property of Gu Yuguan was more than 70 million, and it was privately pocketed and collected in a private house." Yang Qiu said in a deep voice.

As soon as he said this, Jian Shuo, who was standing beside the Spirit Emperor, shouted loudly in his heart.

Originally, he thought that Yang Qiu's words would definitely not hurt Wang Fu's muscles and bones, but now it seems that Yang Qiu can't really bring down Wang Fu.

And he was also surprised in his heart that Wang Fu was so bold that he dared to make His Majesty on the matter of money. Diaphragm

To know His Majesty's weakness, it is in a money word.

Sure enough, the Spirit Emperor, who was still light-hearted and even had some jokes, suddenly changed his complexion, and immediately stood up.

He asked in a deep voice, "Wang Fu and the others are really greedy for so much money?"

"Your Majesty, over the years, Wang Fu has committed murder, and the money in his hands is only a lot more than these. What the minister said was only what he got this time. Please ask Your Majesty to put this person in Luoyang Prison, search his home, and if the income is insufficient, please behead a certain person to punish the minister for the crime of bullying the king. Yang Qiu said angrily.

"Your Majesty, why don't you summon Wang Fu to confront you?" Jian Shuo hesitated for a moment, but still whispered.

is also a eunuch, although he has never been on good terms with Wang Fu's father and son, but now that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, he still can't help but speak.

Liu Hong glanced at him coldly, "Could it be that you also colluded with them?" "Ahh

"Slaves should be damned!" Jian Shuo fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily.

Emperor Ling suddenly smiled, "Get up, I know that you are loyal and will not do ordinary things with them." ”

Jian Shuo kowtowed again and again, not daring to get up.

Liu Hong propped his hands on the table, raised his eyes and looked at Yang Qiu, "Yang Qing, I will leave this matter to you to deal with, no matter who is involved, you can take it to prison for questioning, I will support you behind you, but you also have to give me an explanation." ”

Yang Qiu kowtowed again and again, "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

He knew that Emperor Ling's so-called confession was not about how many casualties Wang Fu had in this move, but about finding out all the money that had been embezzled by Wang Fu and others, even if it was less than one penny.

"It's good to understand." The Spirit Emperor leaned back to the dragon chair behind him and said in a low voice, "It seems that I have really indulged them too much over the years. Jian Shuo, you said it was not. "Ahh

Jian Shuo could only kowtow again and again, not daring to speak.

…………

At this time, Wang Fu was resting in the inner house, and there was wine and food on the table, and he was drinking alone.

For men, the one they love is rich and beautiful.

Most of the eunuchs have entered the palace since they were children, and the matter of beauty has always had nothing to do with them, so in addition to the love of accepting the righteous son, the eunuch seeks to love money and power.

Now that they have a lot of new money, and Si Lixiao Wei Yangqiu is their person, sit back and relax, how can they not make him a little complacent.

Among the eunuchs now, the only people he fears are Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, but now that he has done this, he feels that these two people are nothing more than that. Diaphragm

In the future, when he establishes more relationships with the court, it is not impossible to fight with these two.

Just as he was still thinking about the future scenery, there was a sudden noisy shouting at the door.

He turned his head to look and saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing towards the house.

And the person who is at the forefront is none other than Yang Qiu, the commander of the school who is still his own.

Wang Fu is a person who has seen the world in the end, even if the opposite side is menacing, he still sits at the table and does not move, and asks with a smile: "I don't know what happened to Yang Sili?" I know that the new Si Li is the new Si Li, could it be that the new official has taken office with three fires, and it will burn on my head?"

Yang Qiu pressed the knife on his waist, changed his humble attitude in front of Wang Fu in the past, and said with a smile: "Wang Changshi is really a person who has seen the world, if he changes to others and sees this battle now, I am afraid that he will not dare to speak a long time ago."

Wang Fu stared at the Yang Qiu, and after a while, he smiled and said: "I was pecked by birds and birds while hunting all year round, Yang Qiu, you are amazing." I can endure it when I am called by a dog. "Ahh

"Now Wang Changshou, isn't this just in my hands. The shame of the past should be doubled. Yang Qiu sneered.

Wang Fu stood up, but he didn't ask why Yang Qiu came.

knows his own family affairs, and the evil things he has done over the years are not less, and any of them are enough to destroy his family.

"I want to enter the palace to see Your Majesty." Wang Fu said in a deep voice.

"You want to see Your Majesty, but Your Majesty doesn't want to see you now. Wang Changshi, in order not to let you be alone in prison, I have already sent someone to invite Wang Peixiang. Yang Qiu's face was gloomy, "Your father and son can meet in prison, and you have to thank me for one or two." ”

"Yang Qiu, you wolf-hearted dog-lunged! Damn it! Wang Fu finally couldn't hold his majesty anymore and shouted angrily.

Yang Qiu smiled and looked around, "Tie Wang Changshi to me, remember to tie it tightly." "Ahh

………………

In the wine house in the east of the city, Duan Cheng, who had recently stepped down from his official position, was drinking with Chen Xu.

It was getting late, and the light rain was gradually rising outside, and there were not many guests in the winery.

So now only the two of them are left in the winery.

Duan Cheng was unusually today, drinking non-stop, and the drinks in his hands were one after another.

Now that the matter of Qiao Xuan is in an uproar, Chen Xu can also guess the reason for it, and asks, "But because of the matter of Qiao Gong?"

Duan Cheng nodded, "Now there is already tension between the eunuchs and the scholars in the court, but it is just a short introduction. It doesn't really matter who did it. The important thing is that now that this matter has come out, even if the two sides want to ease, it will not be able to ease. "Ahh

"If the scholars don't do something at this time, how will they confront the eunuchs in the future, and how will they confront His Majesty behind the eunuchs?"

"So this time, whether it is a eunuch or a scholar, there will always be some people who will come out to take the blame."

In addition to drinking faster than before, Duan Cheng's expression on his face was still extremely natural.

"You don't have to worry so much, it doesn't have to happen to you. You Duan Jiming is also a hero who attacked Dongqiang in the west back then, and you have to worry a little about them if you want to come. Chen Xu comforted.

Duan Cheng shook his head and poured a glass of wine, "If you want to kill chickens and monkeys, knock on mountains and tigers, it is naturally most appropriate to find someone with some fame to do this." They don't fail to understand it. ”

"I, a frontier warrior who served as a eunuch in the past, in exchange for a piece of glory, and now has no minions, is naturally the best candidate. There is no shortage of wise men among the scholars. ”

Chen Xu was silent, even he, an idle person who had never been to the court, could understand the truth that Duan Cheng said. Diaphragm

When they hunted in the northwest, they would always shoot the most majestic ram first. In this way, the sheep will scatter and flee, and there will be no more fighting.

"There's really no way to think about it?" Chen continued to ask.

Duan Cheng smiled, "Where else is there any way to think of it." But it's not that hard to stay alive. All you have to do is surrender to the scholars. Those scholars want to come, and they wish I was in front of them and made a sword in their hands. ”

Chen Xu wanted to speak and stopped, he naturally wanted to persuade Duan Cheng to live, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything anyway.

Duan Cheng knew his intentions, and said with a smile after drinking, "In the past, I was full of spirits and devoted myself to the hands of eunuchs, firstly, I wanted to seek fame and wealth, and secondly, I was also unwilling to do so, thinking that these scholars have always been harsh on our border people, if one day, put a knife on their necks, will they still be such a lofty posture now?" It was only after many years in the city of Luoyang that I found out. ”

Chen Xu listened to his words as if he was explaining what was going on, and he couldn't bear it, but in the end he sighed and responded with his words: "What's the matter?"

"In this Luoyang City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in fact, it is the same as our Liangzhou, and it is the last word that the fist is big." Duan Cheng smiled, "What Confucian protégé? What moral article? Can you withstand my cold knife for a few times? Unfortunately, I realized this too late. Otherwise...... "Lang."

Duan Cheng didn't finish the rest of the words, but Chen Xu didn't understand what he meant.

Otherwise, you must use a cold knife to try the weight of this Manchu court.

Duan Cheng poured the wine from the wine jar into the wine bowl in front of him, and there was not much wine in the jar, just one bowl.

It's just that before he drank all the wine in the bowl, a large number of officers and soldiers had already arrived outside the wine house.

The person at the head is today's Jingzhao Yin Yang Biao.

Yang Biao stepped in, and he was polite in the face of Duan Cheng.

"Could it be that you are here to arrest me?" Duan Cheng opened his mouth and smiled. Diaphragm

He raised his eyes and looked at this Yang family.

Although he is from the same famous family, this person has a completely different demeanor from the Yuan brothers.

Yang Biao is a little wooden, speaking more ugly like a nerd, speaking more nicely, like a humble gentleman.

"The junior just came to ask Duan Gong to go back and ask questions." Yang Biao said in a deep voice.

"One better to go back and ask." Duan Cheng laughed, "If it's just a question, why do you need to bring so many people?"

Yang Biao should not be silent.

Duan Cheng laughed and drank the last sip of wine in the wine bowl. Diaphragm

He stood up, and the people opposite, except for Yang Biao, who remained unmoved, everyone else was forced to retreat a few steps by his majesty.

The tiger is majestic.

Even if Liangzhou Menghu has fallen to today's field in the past, there is still residual power.

Duan Cheng turned his head to look at Chen Xu, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, Duan Jiming should have died on the Dongqiang battlefield back then." I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate to live for so many years. ”

Duan Cheng left with Yang Biao.

Chen Xu drank alone, silently.

Outside the wine house, the rain is getting louder and louder. Diaphragm

Knock on his heartstrings.
