Chapter 2: Shu Guogong
"Yu Shangshu, I'm not familiar with Shu Guogong, help me introduce it a little."
Yu Qing introduced it to Yang Guang.
"Shu Guogong Liu Fang, a native of Boling Wangdu, his father is Liu Mengliang, the Great Si Nong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Great Si Nong is in charge of Qian Valley, the chief financial officer of the country, his father is high and powerful, at the beginning of his father's honor, he entered the crown prince Yu Wenyun, the heir of Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, awarded the governor of the capital, moved to the small imperial Zheng, united with Zheng Yi to support His Majesty, became an auxiliary minister, moved the prime minister Sima, the general, and named Huang Guogong, and then moved to the pillar country, and changed the title of Shu Guogong."
At that time, Yang Jian's auxiliary government in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the plan of him and Zheng Yi, and the two of them strongly recommended Yang Jian, so after Yang Jian was the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Liu Fang was the Sima.
It is rumored that Yang Jian, the emperor, was led by Liu Fang and postponed by Zheng Yi before he ascended to the throne, and for a while, the favor of the two was unparalleled.
Liu Fang is the Duke of Shu Guo, and Zheng Yi is the Duke of Pei, both of them are in high positions, but because of one thing, these two meritorious ministers who helped Yang Jian ascend to the throne are all idle at home.
This matter was the biggest obstacle before the founding of the Great Sui.
At that time, because of dissatisfaction with Yang's insistence on government, Wei Chi Hui, Wang Qian, Sima Zhennan and others rebelled, and Yang Jian ordered the famous general Wei Xiaokuan to ask for it, and to Wuzhi, the generals disagreed and the army was in turmoil.
At such a time of crisis, Yang Jian's position was unstable, so he wanted to let the two most trusted people around him, who were also his colleagues at the beginning, Liu Fang and Zheng Yi, go to the prison army.
This battle is a battle of Dingguo, and a victory will be a horse in front of Yang Jian, which clears the biggest obstacle for the Sui Dynasty Zhou, but if it is defeated, it will be doomed.
In such a crisis, Yang Jian naturally wanted to ask his two most trusted allies to help him, but at this time, both of them flinched.
Liu Fang said that he did not understand military affairs as a general, and he was afraid of delaying the military aircraft, and Zheng Yi asked for his mother's old age, and both of them refused Yang Jian's appointment.
At this moment, Yang Jian understood, the two of them were electing themselves to be in charge, but they didn't dare to think about pushing him up, no matter how Yang Jian won or lost, even if the rebels came in, the two of them could continue to enjoy the glory of the officials in the new dynasty, and they were just a political investment for the two of them.
Working? It is impossible to sell your life.
At that time, the situation was critical, and the person who stood up was Gao Gong, who was ordered to go to the front line to supervise the army, and won the battle with the cooperation of the army.
Although Yang Jian didn't blame the two of them for this matter, after all, it was the two of them who pushed him up, but as they became weaker and weaker, the two gradually lost their real power, and they drank and had fun every day in the name of the national prince, which was not happy.
After Yang Guang learned about Liu Fang and the emperor, he understood why Yang Jian wanted to send the children of the clan.
Because Liu Fang was the emperor's partner before starting a business, the people who conspired with the partnership at this time always had some unsightly things in their hands, just like the history books said that Liu Fang and Zheng Yi welcomed Yang Jian as prime minister, I don't know what else is like this, but they can't see the light and can't flow out.
Not to mention the person who seized the emperor, even if it is put into a modern ordinary entrepreneurial gang...... Well, the entrepreneurial team, as long as it is big, several partners have more or less mastered things that are not visible.
Came to the outside of the mansion of Shu Guogong, the mansion of Shu Guogong is extraordinarily magnificent, although the honor and favor are weakening day by day, but its own heritage is sufficient, and its people are indulged in financial gain, rich businessmen, day and night.
It's just that the usual lively Shuguo Mansion is very deserted today, and yesterday's incident came out, and everyone avoided it, so let's wait and see.
The servants led Yang Guang and the others in, Yang Guang still brought the guards in his house, and he took his trusted guards wherever he went after the last assassination.
After entering the mansion, I saw Shu Guogong, who was a handsome middle-aged man, a middle-aged man with a polite temperament may always be a weapon to attract women, and it is no wonder that Liang Guang's wife wants to have an affair with him, a sven scum face, a well-dressed beastly appearance.
If the fornication didn't happen, maybe everyone thought he was just a handsome, elegant and melancholy middle-aged man.
"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Liu Fang saluted: "Your Highness, please sit here, Yu Shangshu, please sit here." ”
Yang Guang immediately sat down first: "Shu Guogong, the purpose of the two of us coming here today must not be said much. ”
Liu Fang looked sad and sighed helplessly: "What else can I say about such a shameful thing, Your Highness can ask whatever you want." ”
"According to the information I have received so far, in the room of the inn at that time, there were only you and a woman with a cloak and Liang Guang's wife, these three people, but you said that the murderer suddenly appeared in the room, which means that a fourth person committed the murder, is this true?"
"Nature is true."
"Where did the murderer come from and how?"
"I ...... I didn't know, it just came out of nowhere, I didn't pay attention. ”
Yang Guang asked: "Didn't pay attention? So what were you doing at the time? ”
"I'm closing my eyes and doing nothing."
"A fourth person suddenly appeared in a room full of house slaves, is this person capable of any sorcery?"
Liu Fang immediately said: "Maybe yes, this person really may be able to do evil magic." ”
Yang Guang shook his head: "How did that person disappear out of thin air after committing the murder." ”
"I don't know, I saw Wan'er (Mrs. Liang Guang) block a knife for me, I fell to the ground in front of the black, just a few breaths of time, and then I opened my eyes and the servants rushed in, the man was gone, it must be an exotic magic, yes, it must be."
Yang Guang saw Liu Fang's divine chatter, and began to tell fantasy stories without a preface, so he asked: "What about the woman who followed you into the room with a cloak and a cloak?" Where is she? ”
Liu Fang seemed to have been prepared, and immediately replied: "Just when the assassin disappeared, she also disappeared." ”
Yang Guang smiled disdainfully: "Then who is she?" Shu Guogong took her over, so he always knew her identity. ”
"I don't know, it's the woman I met on the side of the road."
"Then why did you take her there?"
"I ...... I ......"
Obviously, Liu Fang hasn't made it up yet, maybe it's not that he is not ready to make it up, but the reason for making it up is too big a loophole, and anyone can hear that something is wrong, so he simply doesn't make it up, and he doesn't admit it.
This is a decision not to tell the truth, Liu Fang understands that the emperor does not like adultery at most, but he will not do anything to himself, and he wants to help investigate the assassination.
Liu Fang took the initiative to say: "The murderer is a man who is about the same height as me, wearing a black night suit, covered his face, and can't see clearly, but I have made eye contact with him, as long as I see it, I will be able to find out, I think he should have been hiding in my inn room for a long time, as for the sudden disappearance, I don't know what the reason is." ”
"And I really suddenly have a dark eye, I usually do the same, squatting down and suddenly standing up, or when I am extremely nervous, my eyes will suddenly turn dark and I can't see things clearly, just rest for some time."
Hypoglycemia? Yang Guang couldn't help but think of this.
Yang Guang felt that some of his words should be true, and those overly exaggerated parts must be false.
After sorting out the clues at hand now, Yang Guang asked emphatically: "Shu Guogong, I was ordered by my father to supervise this case, and my father gave me the authority to investigate clearly, if it is not clear that it is me who is blamed, so the next four questions, I hope Shu Guogong will not hide it, otherwise I can only ask Shu Guogong to interrogate in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion." ”
"First, how long has Shu Guogong had an affair with Liang Guang's wife? Know this and know how many people you are doing in the inn's private room. ”
Shu Guogong swallowed: "The shopkeeper of the inn knows, and their little servants may also know, and the most trusted servants in my house also know, and the ones you brought with you have been arrested and imprisoned." ”
Yang Guang is most inclined now that the murderer was hidden in the inn in advance, so the murderer must know about Liu Fang's fornication, and know about his itinerary and the location of the private room.
According to what Liu Fang said just now, there are many people who know about it, plus the ones that have been uploaded, it is difficult to find a suspect from it.
"Second question, who is the woman with the cloak?"
"Just an ordinary woman from the side of the road."
"The third question, that woman entered the room with you, during which it was only you, the cloak girl, and Liang Guang's wife, three quarters of an hour from the beginning to the assassination, what were you doing during this time?"
"That's it...... Didn't do anything? ”
Yang Guang asked: "You had an affair with Liang Guang's wife, and the cloak girl was also involved?" ”
Listening to Yang Guang's inquiry, Yu Qing felt ashamed, how can this thing be asked, I didn't expect King Jin to understand a lot at a young age.
Liu Fang didn't answer, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"Fourth, when did the cloaked woman leave? How to get there? ”
"I don't know."
"Shu Guogong, you really don't plan to cooperate, then I have to ask Shu Guogong to go to the prison."
Liu Fang's face was fearless: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Yang Guang looked at him quite interestingly: "Oh? How to disobey, I would like to hear in detail. ”
"Your Majesty's new "Kaihuang Law" has been simplified, determined to weigh the severity, to seek fairness, to abolish torture, and to neglect without losing it, and has set up a system of "discussion, reduction, redemption, and dang", in which "discussion" refers to the "eight discussions", that is, crimes committed against eight types of people, namely, relatives, deceased, virtuous, capable, meritorious, noble, diligent, and guest, must be determined in accordance with special trial procedures, and the punishment must be reduced or reduced in accordance with law. ”
"Besides, Weichen is a victim in this matter, and he has not committed a crime, why does His Highness want to put me in prison, so it is not in accordance with the rules, and it is not in accordance with the rules set by His Majesty."
Yang Guang didn't expect Shu Guogong to be idle at home, but he was familiar with the new Kaihuang Law, and he was a seedling of a master.
"Okay, what Shu Guogong said is right, just because someone wants to assassinate Shu Guogong, it should be reasonable for me to send someone to protect the Guogong Mansion, come here, take my token to ask the guards to protect the Guogong Mansion."
Liu Fang saluted Yang Guang to say goodbye: "Congratulations to King Jin, and please find out for me as soon as possible which thief wants to kill me." ”
Yang Guang and Yu Qing walked out of Shu Guogong's mansion, and Yu Qing lowered his voice and said, "Shu Guogong doesn't cooperate, I think there are other things in the middle." ”
"We can only check it ourselves, we don't want to use heavy punishment, it seems that it is inevitable."
"What does Your Highness plan to do?"
"Now the whole incident is fully aware of the situation except for Shu Guogong, it should be which mysterious cloak woman, since it was brought by Shu Guogong, I believe that there must be someone in his group of servants who know its origin, let's start from here first, find the woman, Yu Shangshu ordered someone to strictly interrogate Shu Guogong's servants."
"Yes, Your Highness."
