Bingji and Chen Xiu stomped their feet that were numb from the cold, and walked back into the torture room.

The walls on all four sides of the torture chamber were thick and windowless, and there was a charcoal fire, so it was much warmer than outside the courtyard.

It's just that there is a bloody smell wafting from it, which makes those who walk in feel uncomfortable.

Bingji looked at Huo Yu, who was still calm, and decided to throw out those two key questions to test it.

"General Huo, it's not early, and this officer still has two things to ask." Bingji sat on the couch and said quietly.

"This will be a suspect, and Binggong is the messenger of the Son of Heaven, just ask."

"What this official wants to ask is, where did General Huo's nephew Huo Yun and Huo Shan go?" Bingji asked.

Huo Shan and Huo Yun are Huo Yu's right-hand men, and they are also the nominal descendants of the champion Hou, and they must know many things that Huo Yu has done.

Now, these two people are alive and dead, and there must be something strange.

Sure enough, after Bingji finished asking, Huo Yu's eyes changed suddenly, but then he hid it again, he hesitated for a moment and continued: "Ben Jiang doesn't know where they are." ”

"As far as this official knows, the two of them have always been familiar with the general, does the general really not know where they are?"

"That night, the two armies were fighting, and they were originally assisting the general to fight with the rebels, but then they were separated from the general, and I am afraid that they have long been lost in the chaos."

"Is General Huo saying that they are also meritorious?" Bingji asked mockingly.

"Well, at least Ben will think they're meritorious." Huo Yu said without changing his face.

Bingji sneered in his heart, he didn't dwell too much on this matter, Huo Yun and Huo Shan were not in this prison, Huo Yu would not bow his head and admit his guilt.

"General Huo, have you ever heard of Zuo Junmeng?" Bingji asked coldly again.

"This is a covenant that the general made in private with a captain who is familiar with him in the army." Huo Yu actually said it directly.

"Then what is the meaning of the word Zuojun?"

"Naturally, the county official is Mingjun."

"Is there a roster of league members?" Bingji asked.

"It's an oath made on a whim, and then it's a joke to mention it, how can there be a roster." Although Huo Yu's expression was normal, there was obviously more vigilance in his eyes.

"Then Fan Mingyou, Tian Guangming, Tian Shun and others are from Zuojun League?" Bingji asked pretending not to care.

"It's not." Huo Yu replied quickly.

However, as soon as Huo Yu finished answering, he saw Bingji smiling smugly, showing an expression of successful tricks.

Huo Yu immediately understood his carelessness.

Since Zuo Junmeng does not have a fixed league member and roster, why can he categorically deny that Fan Mingyou and others are idioms?

Since it can be denied without hesitation, it means that in Huo Yu's heart, the Zuojun League is a fixed organization, and the members of the league are also fixed.

"Then Huo Shan, Huo Yun, Huo Feng, Li Han, and Fan Huan, are they members of the Zuojun League?" Bingji asked aggressively.

At this time, Huo Yu didn't answer, and he didn't answer.

"Ben will not remember anymore." Huo Yu said.

At this time, even if Huo Yu was so vague, it was useless, because compared with the certainty just now, this hesitation itself is an affirmation.

Bingji immediately took out the list of the marquis and captain of the three-way rebel army and the list on Huo Xian's black account, and read out the names one by one.

Every time I read one, I would specifically ask Huo Yu if these people were members of the Zuojun League.

Huo Yu was vague, but the subtle change in expression still betrayed many people.

Then, Bingji asked many people who were suspected of being involved with the Huo Party, and they also got something.

Chen Xiu, who was on the side, immediately picked up the pen and recorded it seriously and quickly.

About half an hour later, Chen Xiu and Bingji had an extra roster in their hands, with more than 100 people on it.

"General Huo, this official has finished asking today's question, you can rest." Bingji said with satisfaction.

"When will Ben be released from prison?"

Huo Yu asked with some frustration, he still didn't know about the Huo family being copied and Huo Xian being arrested, and thought that his parents were only temporarily imprisoned.

"It's just a few days, the evidence and confession will be presented to the county magistrate, and everything has to wait for the county magistrate to decide." Bingji said lukewarmly.

Huo Yu was sent back to the cell, and Bingji looked at the roster and was very satisfied.

This is a small harvest - the people on the roster are just some marginal people, and it is unlikely that they will know about the evil deeds of Huo Yu and others.

However, these people staying in Chang'an City is a hidden danger after all, and it is not a bad thing to be able to catch them and catch them all.

"Gong Chen, when this official plays the county official, you can follow the map and arrest all these people." Bingji said.

"With so many people, I'm afraid that the chief of the three assistants and the lieutenants of the three assistants will be busy for a few days."

"There are many empty places in this edict, and even if you catch a few thousand more people and go in, you can fit it."

"Binggong is right."

At this time, the time had passed, and Bingji did not dare to hesitate, and immediately rushed to Weiyang Palace in a carriage.

Huo Yu couldn't ask anything anymore, but through some information at hand, Bingji had a rough guess in his heart.

He had already vaguely guessed what Huo Yu was going to do, and he wanted to tell the Son of Heaven about it as soon as possible.

……

In the Weiyang Palace, in the greenhouse hall, the lights have been lit.

After Liu He had dinner with Huo Chengjun in the Jiaofang Palace, he came to the Greenhouse Palace.

Many changes have happened in the past few days, and Huo Chengjun's mood is inevitably depressed and depressed.

Fortunately, I can still teach the palace maid to read and write in my free time, so I don't have to think nonsense.

Otherwise, in this cold weather, I am afraid that I will get sick.

Liu He came to the greenhouse hall to rest for about a quarter of an hour, and Zhang Anshi, Wei Xiang, Huang Ba and Bingji braved the snow to come to the greenhouse hall.

After the monarch and the ministers saw the ceremony, Bingji, the three courtiers who were responsible for thoroughly investigating the three major cases, simply and concisely reported the progress of the investigation to Liu He.

Liu He looked at the transcription and confession, and remained silent, only occasionally asking a question when he heard the most important place.

From start to finish, he is still relatively satisfied with the progress so far.

It has been three days since Huo's house was raided, and the progress of these three major cases in these three days has been different.

The dust has settled on the corruption case, the rebellion case dug up Zuo Junmeng, and the murder case arrested Huo Xian and Chun Yuyan.

"Corruption cases should be investigated in more detail, and the written documents should be clearly written, especially who is corrupt and how much they are corrupt, and they must be clearly written......

"These will be published in the next issue of "Chang'an Monthly", ordinary people are most concerned about money, and they will definitely let the people of the world know that moths are hateful."

"Your Majesty's law is very wonderful, not only can it affirm the strictness of the law, but it can also play a role in edification!" Wei Xiang praised sincerely.

Compared with rebellion and murder, the sin of corruption is naturally the smallest, but it can arouse the greatest disgust of the general public.

So, naturally, it has to be publicized with great fanfare.

"Huang Ba, how many days have Chun Yuyan and Huo Xian been locked up in the violent prison?" Liu He asked.

"It's been closed for three days." Huang Ba replied.

"What's wrong with them?"

"The two of them have been crying out for grievances."

"It's crazy, I've already found them, and I still don't want to confess, and I dare to cry out for injustice?" Liu He scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty said that you would make them worry for a few days, so they haven't been in court yet, and Wechen plans to inquire tonight, I don't know if I can directly torture them?" Huang Ba asked excitedly.

"When are you going to start the church?" Liu He asked.

"It's time to start." Huang Ba replied.

"Wait one more day, and I will personally go to the trial."

"Your Majesty, the matter of torture is too heavy, I'm afraid it will ......" Zhang Anshi wanted to dissuade him, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Son of Heaven raising his hand.

"This matter is about Emperor Xiaozhao, and I am the heir of Emperor Xiaozhao, blood relatives and enemies, public and private, righteous, why am I afraid of killing?"

The Son of Heaven has already said this, and Zhang Anshi and others are not good at stopping it, but they just call the Son of Heaven "benevolent and filial".

Liu He hadn't seen Chun Yuyan, but he knew that Huang Ba had already arrested all her relatives.

Although Chun Yuyan participated in the murder of Emperor Xiaozhao, it is impossible to be as mean and ruthless as Huo Xian, and Liu He is sure to find out within one day.

As long as Chun Yuyan opened his mouth to admit his guilt, coupled with all the evidence sealed in the general's mansion, Huo Xian could be convicted even if he didn't open his mouth.

These two big cases have already been resolved, so only the case of rebellion remains.

Liu He had already listened to Bingji talk about the situation in the past few days, and he didn't expect Huo Yu to handle the evidence and witnesses so cleanly.

Even a thoughtful person like Bingji only found a clue with half a claw.

Who is still slowly investigating in Zuo Junmeng, and how many dead soldiers in Beicheng Guo are also slowly investigating, the most important thing is to figure out what Huo Yu wants to do next.

Huo Yu returned to Chang'an, it must not be to save his life, I am afraid there are other purposes.

Although Liu He didn't know what he wanted to do, Liu He understood the sentence of putting him to death and then being born, and Huo Yu also understood.

"Bingqing, in your opinion, what else does Huo Yu want to do after returning to Chang'an?"

Bingji only played the specific details of the inquiry to the Son of Heaven just now, but he did not rashly say his guess.

Now that the Son of Heaven asked, Bingji said his speculation in an orderly manner.

"Back to Your Majesty, in Weichen's opinion, among Huo Guang, Huo Xian, and Huo Yu, Huo Guang is the least culpable, and Huo Yu is the most culpable."

"Like this murder and corruption, Huo Guang may not know, but Huo Yu must clearly understand ......"

"So it is right for Huo Guang to be lucky, but Huo Yu definitely knows that His Majesty will not let go of the Huo family."

"In this case, returning to Chang'an is a dead end, even if Huo Guang can be saved, it is still a dead end."

"But even if it's a dead end, Huo Yu is still back, so there must be a plan!"

Bingji said very methodically, and Zhang Anshi and the others nodded frequently when they listened.

When Liu He listened, he remembered Bingji's assassination of himself: forming a party to raise dead soldiers, Bingji had also done these things in private, no wonder his mind was so meticulous.

It seems that he is really the right person to ask him to inquire about this matter.

"Bingqing thinks carefully, so what do you think Huo Yu is trying to do?"

"Huo Yu is not a person who is greedy for money, so the lower officials think that Huo Yu took the risk to come back in order to ...... Take away Huo Guang! ”

Everyone still had some doubts when they heard it at first, but Liu He quickly remembered some things that were far away from now, and immediately understood what Bingji said.

Without waiting for Bingji to explain, Liu He sneered and told the riddle: "Huo Yu and the others are in collusion with the Huns, and this time they venture back to Chang'an City, I am afraid that they want to take Huo Guang away and take them to the Huns!" ”

Liu He's words were very clear, and Zhang Anshi and the others suddenly realized, but there was an unbelievable expression on their faces.

If Huo Yu directly rebelled to the Xiongnu when he was in the north, it would be a normal thing, but it was whimsical to want to take Huo Guang to rebel against the Han Dynasty.

"Huo Yu is in prison, Huo Dang is gone, and Huo Guang is even more imprisoned...... How can Huo Yu take Huo Guang away? Wei Xiang asked incredulously.

"Huo Yun and Huo Shan are still outside the legal net at this time, plus those dead soldiers in Beicheng Guo and the remnants of the Zuojun League that have not been dug up, they feel that they can give it a go!"

Liu He's further explanation made everyone finally believe it a little more.

But in their eyes, they still feel that Huo Yu wants to rob Huo Guang, which is still a big gamble.

"Your Majesty, what Huo Yu is thinking about is too ......" Wei Xiang searched his stomach and still couldn't think of a suitable word to describe this kind of boldness.

Liu He sneered again and said contemptuously.

"It's just a lethal fight when death is on the verge of death, Huo Yu and others are now gamblers who have lost red-eyed, and only by betting all the bets can it be possible to win a big hair."

"If it's just asking for a living, then Huo Yu is not the Huo family."

Yes, the Huo family seems to be thoughtful on the surface, but deep down they are full gamblers: in order to be able to win heavy bets, they are willing to place heavy bets.

Small fights, and stealing a living, they don't look down on it at all.

Huo Quai's long drive went straight to Mobei to seal the wolf Juxu, and he gambled the lives of tens of thousands of Han soldiers to damage the exploits of the Huns.

Huo Guang relied on the young Emperor Xiaozhao to eliminate political opponents, and gambled with his family's lives to gain the supreme power of the Han Empire.

Huo Yu killed Fan Mingyou and returned to Chang'an to save Huo Guang, using his own life and the glory of the Huo family to gamble on the opportunity to make a comeback.

But from this point of view, Huo Yu really has the blood of the Huo family.

But he only learned the surface of gambling, but he did not learn the skill of gambling.

If you bet, you have to win, and it has nothing to do with the size of the bet, but with the situation of the game.

Only by seeing the situation clearly can we place heavy bets; If you can't see the situation clearly, you can only hibernate.

Whether it is Huo Qubing or Huo Guang, they are betting on the road of life.

But Huo Yu's bet this time was a losing game.

"This Huo Yu is simply mad, who dares to do such a thing?" Bingji himself was shocked by this incident.

"Huo Yu may be the first, but by no means the last." Liu He didn't finish his words.

In the original timeline, there was also a person who was swept to Mobei by his son and wife and was ruined.

was originally a hero, but in the end he became a traitor, and if he was not careful, he was scolded by thousands of people.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, Huo Yu must take good care of it, and he must not be allowed to take advantage of it." Wei Xiang said urgently.

Liu He didn't give an answer, he was thinking of another possibility.

Huo Guang is always a hot potato, so it is better to let him destroy himself.

Now, Liu He wants to make it easy for Huo Guang and Huo Yu to die, but if he kills people, he can make some more articles on this matter.

The rebellion is over, but Huo Yu's heart is still there.

Huo Yu knows the truth of becoming a king and defeating a villain, but he will never accept it.

Since he has this rebellious heart, then Liu He can let what he wants in his heart come true, and then the Huo family will be more guilty.

Just when Liu He was thinking about how to tell the matter, Fan Ke, who had been standing outside the door, suddenly pushed the door in and asked for a performance.
