In the cramped main hall of the riot room, the heat still hadn't completely dissipated, but the pungent smell had at least dissipated a lot.

Xu Guanghan, the tyrant of the room, sat in front of the desk with some lost souls, he opened his robe, drank wine with a clay cup, and shook a pu fan to cool off.

After a sip of light wine, his smooth face wrinkled violently like a skinned goose egg meeting cooking oil.

I don't know if it was spicy by the wine, or if I remembered the thing I said when the Son of Heaven suddenly came to visit at noon today.

The rank of the tyrant is only 200 stones, and the monthly money and grain are very small, but only 30 hundreds, which is only 20,000 yuan.

Although there is only one daughter in the family, the expenses are not large, but from time to time they have to pay money to subsidize Liu Ai's erection, and the clumsy hands in the family are tight, so the money left on Xu Guanghan is even more pitiful.

The number of times I can drink alcohol is not much.

Today, a special case was made, or because of Liu's illness.

Thinking of Liu's illness, Xu Guanghan couldn't help but feel a little headache.

……

It was one day a few years ago, and the court ordered Zhang He to send Liu Ill to the violent room, and asked Xu Guanghan to take care of it.

Xu Guanghan soon learned the true identity of Liu Aiji, and when he wrote a letter to his teacher Wang Shi, he quietly told his teacher, Wang Shi, about the matter, hoping to get some advice.

But he never thought that Wang Shi actually asked Xu Guanghan to keep a firm eye on Liu Aiji, and often informed Wang Shi about Liu Aiji.

Although Xu Guanghan had doubts, he still did it, and every time he wrote a letter to Wang Shi, he would bring a few sentences about Liu's illness.

A few months ago, Wang Shi's letter was sent again, and the letter actually asked Xu Guanghan to prepare to kill Liu Ai on behalf of the soon-to-be-enthroned king of Changyi.

Wang Shi used to be his mentor, so the king of Changyi used to be his king, and the king of Xiaochangyi, who was about to ascend the throne, was his own son of heaven.

Under triple pressure, Xu Guanghan had to obey.

However, Xu Guanghan has a tangle in his heart.

If the letter had come a few years earlier, then it would have been fine; At this moment, it is simply to put him on the fire to boil oil.

Because Liu Ai's vertical son is really popular, in the past few years, Xu Guanghan has long regarded him as his half son.

What made Xu Guanghan even more undetermined was that his only daughter Xu Pingjun had a secret affection for Liu Yi and sent each other autumn waves.

It's not good, the two have already ......

Although his wife doesn't look down on Liu's life experience, Xu Guanghan knows that with the cunning and wit of the vertical son and the fierce nature of his daughter, even his wife can't stop it.

In this way, Xu Guanghan has already had a bond with Liu Yi.

Helping the Son of Heaven to kill Liu Ai, Xu Guanghan couldn't do such a thing.

But what can he do with a man who has been left to prison?

can only hide in the violent room, act as a turtle with a shrunken head, and secretly pray that the Son of Heaven will not think that Liu's illness has come.

But today's noon incident made Xu Guanghan's little luck disappear.

Xu Guanghan also understands that after all, it is time to choose.

I was irritable and could only use wine to drown my sorrows—but I didn't have the money to buy better wine, and I drank a whole pot of this light wine mixed with water, and I didn't feel a little drunk.

"Envoy, please see someone outside the door." A forty-five-year-old yellow-skinned insider ran in to pray.

"No, this official doesn't want to see anyone today." Xu Guanghan said.

"Yes...... He was sent by His Majesty. ”

Xu Guanghan was clever, and he woke up suddenly from a small amount of drunkenness.

"Why don't you say it sooner, please come in!"

"Yui!"

Xu Guanghan hurriedly put away the meager wine and food on the case, but before he could hide the wine pot and glass, Yu Wuwu had already walked into the main hall.

Yu Wuwu smelled the wine, couldn't help frowning, and stood at the door and stopped going inside.

The violent room is small, and it is also a government office, how can you drink above the main hall?

Xu Guanghan smiled awkwardly, stuffed the wine and food under the case indiscriminately, and said flatteringly: "Yu Envoy, the starry night is visiting, I don't know what the important thing is?" ”

"The warrant of the Son of Heaven is for you." Yu Wuwu took out the silk book from his arms.

Xu Guanghan hurriedly ran to the door of the palace in small steps, took the silk book, and looked at it without caring about courtesy.

There are few lights in the main hall and they are very dim, Xu Guanghan's eyes are not good, but at this time it looks even more difficult, and it seems that it is still very difficult to put the silk book in front of him and carefully identify it.

But in the end, I saw the contents.

The fear and entanglement that had just been dispelled by the wine came to my heart again.

"Did Xu Yuanjun see it clearly?"

"Look, see clearly."

"The county magistrate asked you to repeat it after reading it."

"The county official said that within fifteen days, Liu Yi will be found in Shangguanli, and once he is found, he will immediately enter the palace to report to the county official, and the county official will ...... To meet him in person. ”

"Xu Yuanjun may finish this matter?"

Of course it can be done, although Liu Ai has wandered invisibly, but those are the places where he can go.

Liu Yi is already going to Xiadu, which is more than 100 miles away, or he will stay in Chang'an City.

It won't take fifteen days, I'm afraid it will be found in ten days.

Liu is sick, Liu is sick, why do you want to stay in Chang'an and Xiadu?

Yu Wuwu saw Xu Guanghan's hesitation, he moved forward a little closer, and tried to make his voice appear gloomy: "Xu Yuanjun, this matter is an edict issued by the county official himself, you must know the severity, if you can't do it, you know the consequences." ”

"Cheap, lowly understands."

After Xu Guanghan said this, as if he had lost his strength, the whole person collapsed, as if someone had pulled off his vertebrae.

The shore of the land is not the king's land...... This big man seems to be very big, but he is also very small, and he can't escape far at all.

Yu's letter arrived, and he turned around and prepared to leave.

However, he suddenly stopped.

Turning his back to Xu Guanghan, who was lost and depressed, he said: "This matter may not be as sinister as you think, and Liu Yi may not be dead." ”

"If the county magistrate really wants Liu Ai's life, he won't come to you in advance at noon today, let alone let you go to look for Liu Aiji."

"The county magistrate is pure-hearted, not as sinister as you think, and he has found Liu's illness alive, maybe it is a happy result, if you want to escape, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people who will die."

After hearing these words, Xu Guanghan was first overjoyed, then surprised, and said "don't dare" repeatedly.

Yu Wuwu walked straight out, these words were for Xu Guanghan, and they were also for themselves.

When he walked out of the violent room, he once again recalled the words of the king in his ears: "As the Lang official of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has something, and the Lang official obeys his work, if His Royal Highness can't do it, then no matter what, you have to find a way to kill that Liu Sick." ”

Xu Guanghan's entanglement stems from ethics, and Yu's end-free ending stems from benevolence.

Whether it is ethics or benevolence, it is a shackle imposed by Confucianism.

If they were followers of Legalism, maybe they wouldn't be so entangled.

With this entanglement, Yu Wuwu carried a sword at his waist and walked into the night.

……

If nothing happens overnight, Xu Guanghan will go to find Liu's illness, but this matter will not happen for the time being, so that Liu He, Yu Wuwu and Xu Guanghan have some breathing space.

And this Weiyang Palace, which is full of intrigue and conspiracy, will never be peaceful because of this.

After being worshiped by the high temple, the matter of choosing a concubine is finally about to usher in a new confrontation.

Today's fourth watch is 10,000 words, this is the second watch, and the third and fourth watches are at half past nine.
