Liu Wei sat on the sedan chair and swayed back to Gyeongbok Palace, still thinking about how to deal with the tense atmosphere of the imperial court.

This situation was not what he wanted, step by step, almost all of it was caused by He Jin's recklessness, constantly breaking his plan to seek stability, forcing him to take down the general in advance.

After carefully calculating the entire court situation in his heart, Liu Wei looked firm and said to himself: "I still can't move for the time being." ”

There are only a few days left before the enthronement ceremony, and at this time, any of his actions are sensitive and subtle, which will stimulate the worries of the government and the opposition, and is not conducive to stability.

I hope you don't give me any more moths. ’

Liu Wei thought in his heart, and said to Pan Yin on the side: "Send a letter to Lu Zhi, keep an eye on Dong Zhuo's actions, if there is any news from Shangshutai, report it to me immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Pan Yin hurriedly responded.

Now in the imperial court, few people know that Dong Zhuotun's soldiers are in Hedong, and this position is not far from Luoyang.

Luoyang City is not empty, but if a foreign minister leads troops here without a decree, it will scare many people and instantly break the already difficult tense situation in Luoyang City.

"Go to Changle Palace." Liu argued.

Changle Palace, the residence of the Queen Mother. Now, whatever he does is easy to cause tension in the government and the opposition, but Empress Dowager He is different, she can calm some restless emotions.

Pan Yin listened and said, "Your Majesty, not long ago, the Queen Mother went to the general and had a fierce quarrel with the general. ”

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "Quarrel? What is the noise? ”

Pan Yin said: "I don't know the specifics, the Queen Mother has branched everyone up." ”

Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "What happened later? ”

Pan Yin said: "The queen mother left angrily, and the general asked for a lot of wine. The Queen Mother also sent someone to the General's Mansion, saying that she would get some clothes for the General. ”

Liu Wei vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, shook his head, and said, "Don't go for the time being, go back to Jingfu Palace." ”

The quarrel between Empress Dowager He and He Jin is mostly because of him, Liu Wei can't go over now, otherwise it will be difficult for him to refuse any request made by Empress Dowager He.

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

At this time, the sky was already dark, the moon and stars were sparse, and the night was as cold as water.

Zuo Li took 200 disguised forbidden troops, left the palace in batches, and went straight to a manor thirty miles south of the city.

By the time they touched it, it was just getting dark.

The estate is secluded, at the foot of the hill, surrounded by dense forests and accessible only by road.

Zuo Li didn't have any bells and whistles, just slowly touched the front in the dark and watched not far away.

After a while, a few black-clothed forbidden soldiers who were investigating came back to report and said in a low voice: "Nobleman, I have figured it out, this manor is not big, and there should not be many people, less than a hundred." ”

Noble, also known as the middle noble, is an intimate term for a person who is relatively close to the chamberlain.

Zuo Li covered his face, looked at his eyes coldly, and said, "It's been a bit long, I don't know how much they transported and how much is left." You surround the manor, don't miss a single one, don't kill all of them, keep a few, I want to ask!" ”

"Yes." The soldier in front of him responded in a low voice, and with a wave of his hand, he led people silently approaching the courtyard.

More than a hundred people quietly climbed over the fence and followed the wall to the center of the courtyard.

"Woo woo woo~"

Suddenly, a strange whistle sounded in the courtyard, followed by a shout: "A thief has entered the hospital!" ”

In the courtyard, all kinds of voices were loud, and more than thirty strong men poured out from everywhere, armed with sharp blades, fighting with the approaching black-clothed forbidden army.

The forbidden army got a very clear order, the queue was neat, there was no hesitation at all, and he would be killed when he drew his sword.

In the face of the outnumbered forbidden army, the guards of this manor had little resistance at all, and were quickly killed, with only five or six people surrounded.

The leader was a man in his early thirties, looking at the fierce man in black in front of him, holding a big knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Heroes, whether you are passing by or a hero, the master of this place is a virtuous person, we have also sent a signal, someone will come soon, you might as well say the number, you will never let you run in vain!" ”

The black-clothed soldier at the front sneered and said, "Don't bluff me, there are Yulin troops patrolling around Luoyang City at any time, will you send a signal?" The property here belongs to us, obediently put down the weapons, let us tie up, we take the things, and naturally spare your lives! ”

Now the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, not to mention robbers, even rebels who can attack cities and plunder counties can be seen everywhere.

The man of the manor looked grim, knowing that he had encountered a hard stubble, and said: "Heroes, each of you will be fifty taels, and you will be given another thousand taels of gold, and you will never be allowed to work hard!" ”

Two hundred people, fifty taels each, that is ten thousand, which is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver, plus one thousand taels of gold, which is definitely a big number!

You know, one is enough for ordinary people to live for a month!

The black-clothed soldier raised his sword and said coldly: "Don't think about delaying time!" All I ask you is to let go! Don't loosen, don't leave one! ”

The man of the manor looked at the corpses all over the ground, his expression changed, knowing that these people did what they said, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't talk nonsense, if I can touch it here, and dare to do it, I must know what is put here!" No matter who you are, I'm just afraid that if you have a life, you won't be killed in a short time! ”

The black-clothed soldier didn't expect that this person was so smart, he stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand, and shouted: "Leave these few, everyone else will be killed!" ”

Without a moment's hesitation, the forbidden army quickly pounced.

When the leading manor man saw it, he did not hesitate, and he drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

The black-clothed soldier kept staring at him, and interrupted him with a fierce thrust.

The guards of the Praetorian Army were like wolves, and quickly held him down, tied him, and gagged him.

"Quick, find something, transport it immediately!" The black-clothed soldier shouted in a low voice.

The guards of the Janissary responded silently and quickly probed the manor.

It didn't take long to find it in one room after another.

Zuo Li came over, and the black-clothed soldier said: "Nobleman, there are discrepancies, I'm afraid that a lot of them have been transported away." ”

Zuo Li looked at the only two dozen boxes left, and his expression was a little ugly.

He couldn't wait to get dirty, just to prove his ability to Liu Dialectic, and now there was only so much, which made him very angry in his heart!

Zuo Li stretched out his hand to look through the box, and saw that there were many treasures, but there was less money, and he was even more angry.

The black-clothed soldier beside him kept looking at him, and when he saw this, he said, "Nobles, most of them are in urgent need of money, so they left these treasures instead. ”

Although Zuo Li was unwilling, he couldn't help it, and said: "Pack all the boxes away, bring them back, and use the big punishment to try them, maybe you can recover some more." ”

The main reason is that the time has passed too long, that is, there is too much money and it is inconvenient to transport, otherwise it would have dissipated long ago and there would be no recourse.

The black-clothed soldier nodded, glanced at the other people's fiery gazes, and said in a low voice: "Noble, according to the rules, these things ......"

Although Zuo Li has been in the palace for a long time, he understands the world's feelings very well, and without waiting for him to finish, he said directly: "These things can't be moved, and they must be handed over to the central government in full." Before leaving the palace, His Majesty rewarded me with 50,000 yuan, and I left half of it to cover the edict, and you gave the rest to the brothers. ”

25,000 taels, each person got at least 10 taels, and earned nearly two years of money in one night!

"Thank you, noble!" A group of people were overjoyed and raised their hands one after another.

Zuo Li saw that spending money had a role, and said secretly in his heart: These boxes are enough for me to make a contribution, and I also bought these people, but it is worth this trip.

Without any more nonsense, Zuo Li carried more than 20 large boxes and quickly returned to Beijing before dawn.

At this time, in the Gyeongbok Palace, Liu Wei, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by a hurried knock on the door.

He hates being disturbed the most when he sleeps, especially when he sleeps the deepest, he opens the door with an unkind expression and stares at Pan Yin who is panicking at the door.

Without waiting for Liu Wei to make a difficulty, Pan Yin suddenly stepped forward and whispered in a panic in his ear: "Your Majesty, the general has committed suicide." ”

Liu Wei's expression changed suddenly, and he was sober in an instant!

Now is the most important time for him to appease people's hearts, he needs to gather the hearts of scattered courtiers and scholars, and grasp the power of the court.

This He Jin died suddenly in the palace, will the government and the opposition suspect that he is a tyrant, or repeat the disaster of the party?!

So detached from him?

Liu Wei doesn't have a team yet, he needs people, especially those talents and talents!

Before he could do it, he was scared away!
