Chapter 53: Drowning
Wang Li's decree, this matter is related to Emperor Yao's body, the eunuchs do not dare to slack off, thousands of miles away, all the way did not stop, after announcing the holy decree, he hurriedly asked Wang Li to set off today, Wang Li said about the displaced people, His Majesty He knows in his heart, and he will deal with the conscription and grain transportation, and then enter Beijing is not too late.
Not daring to offend Tai Changsheng, who was deeply rooted in Longen, the eunuch had no choice but to agree.
Teach Han Qiu to arrange the eunuch's residence, Wang Li returned to the attic, and saw that the roster on the table was gone, he was overjoyed, knowing that Xu Hongyuan had been tricked, and secretly asked Cheng Chaohan to bring a message to Cheng Chaohan, and he dragged Xu Hongyuan to prevent him from hiding the roster and causing trouble.
"Dispatch Envoy Xu, isn't Second Prince Xu in Yiyang?"
Seeing that Wang Li came back, he deliberately shouted to himself, Xu Hongyuan was faintly uneasy, and he said: "Hui Taichangsheng, the dog and the son of Yugeqing are friends, he went to Beijing with Su Gongzi to play, and it can be regarded as making friends." ”
Wang Li pretended to sigh and said: "It's a pity that this is, I was fortunate to meet Xu Gongzi once, and he is really good-looking! I have always wanted to get acquainted with him, but I have repeatedly failed to have the opportunity, alas! I am haunted by mundane things, and I can't be as chic and free as Xu Gongzi." ”
Xu Hongyuan was puzzled, why did this Wang Li suddenly be interested in talking about his son, "Tai Changsheng has said it, although the bandit is a little talented, it is too much worse than Tai Changsheng, if the bandit knows that Tai Changsheng praises him so much, he must be extremely happy." ”
Wang Li was noncommittal, he saw it when he was in Yucheng, Xu Junyan and Xu Sheng were very good, not much better than Xu Zheng.
"I'm going to enter Beijing in a few days, I don't know if I can meet Xu Gongzi, Xu Dispatching Envoy, when the time comes, if you have any letter to bring, just tell me, I'll bring it to you. ”
Xu Hongyuan hesitated: "He...... Although I have been away from home for more than a month, I think I will come back soon, and I don't have anything to say to him, but thank you for being too often. ”
Wang left his forehead and told Xu Hongyuan some things about the Kong family, Xu Hongyuan became more and more uneasy in his heart, and was about to say goodbye, when a group of catchers suddenly poured into the stage, surrounded him, and then followed by the two brothers Cheng Chaohe.
"It's too Changsheng, brother, can I do it at this speed? Chao Han told me, and I immediately asked the county to mobilize people to come over. Cheng Chaohe laughed.
Xu Hongyuan frowned and said, "Taichangsheng, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Li saw that Cheng Chaohe came so quickly, and his heart was settled, when he entangled Xu Hongyuan before, he was also extremely uneasy, and he was afraid that Xu Hongyuan would see through his intentions, and it would be difficult to do it at that time.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng!" Wang Li Chaocheng clenched his fists towards the river.
Cheng Chaohe laughed, and then asked the arrest to arrest Xu Hongyuan, and the arrest quickly detained Xu Hongyuan on the ground, he was a dignified minister, when had he been so humiliated, Xu Hongyuan's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Cheng Chaohe, you Changjiang County An dare to move the patrol platform? I am the dispatch envoy, the cabinet minister of the fifth grade of a state, you are a county commander who used force against the cabinet minister privately, do you want to die?"
Wang Li smiled: "It's not that Brother Cheng is dying, it's that Xu Dispatch is dying." ”
waved his hand to let people search Xu Hongyuan's body, and sure enough, he found the roster in Xu Hongyuan's arms, Wang Li waved the roster, "Xu Dispatch Envoy secretly stole the official document of the imperial court's frontline grain transportation, did he want to steal the military grain and cut off the back road of the front line?"
"You're fart! It's ......"
Xu Hongyuan was furious, struggling and twisting his body, but he was firmly pressed to the ground by the arrestees.
He just wanted to say that this was an immortal law, but suddenly saw Wang Li take out a black book with a similar appearance from his arms, and heard Wang Li say leisurely: "Do you want to say, in fact, you are holding this one?"
"You!"
Xu Hongyuan was stunned, no wonder Wang Li had been pestering him, no wonder Cheng Chaohe came so fast, all this was his conspiracy!
"Pull it down, dispatch the envoy to steal the secret text of the military rations, premeditated the rebellion, this is a serious crime, wait for me to find out, and all of them will be dealt with together. ”
Wang Li waved his hand to let Xu Hongyuan go down, Xie Cheng Chaohe came to support, and promised to invite him and Cheng Chaohan to Linjiang Tower to drink wine next time, Cheng Chaohe was very happy in his heart, and he could let Wang Li show his favor, he was extremely useful, and immediately patted his chest and said: "This Xu Hongyuan is not right-minded, too often rest assured, his kid has not had a good time in prison!"
Wang Li sent Cheng Chaohe away, and then wrote an official document to depose Xu Hongyuan, as for the execution, he had to wait until he went to Beijing.
Early the next morning, Wang left to visit Xu Hongyuan in prison, Xu Hongyuan knew that he was trapped in prison by Wang Li, and the Su family had no news, so it was difficult to save him.
He knew what kind of person Su Heng was, and he couldn't say, Su Heng had already formed an alliance with Wang Li.
Wang Li went to the county prison, and Cheng Chaohe enthusiastically wanted to accompany Wang Li, but he politely refused.
The county prison officer followed Wang Li, who was also supported by Wang Li at the gate of the county prison, and he sat on the wooden bench outside the cage alone, looking at Xu Hongyuan, who was sitting on the thatched pile and was much older.
"You, you actually know everything?"
“......”
"Did Su Heng tell you?"
“......”
"What are you going to do with me?"
"What to do with you is the emperor's business, you ask me, I don't know. ”
Xu Hongyuan's eyes darkened, he couldn't run away from this rebellious crime, but it's a pity that ten years of scheming were ruined here, it's a pity.
"Kong Wen was indeed killed by me. After being silent for a while, Xu Hongyuan suddenly said: "That day, Kong Wen was dispatched to Yucheng, Su Heng copied Confucius Mansion with the crime of great greed, intending to find the immortal law, I should cooperate with the outside and force Kong Wen to tell the whereabouts of the immortal law on the road, ridiculous, the old man still died at this point, is that immortal law more important than life!"
"So you killed him?" said Wang Li coldly.
"Yes, I'll kill him, I'll kill my mentor, the man who treated me like a son. Xu Hongyuan said in a low voice, and then suddenly looked crazy, "If I don't kill him, Su Heng will kill me, Kong Chengfu and Kong Chengshi can't escape! If it weren't for me, would they have survived until now?
"Brother Fu and Brother Shi are dead. Wang Li said lightly.
"What?" Xu Hongyuan was stunned.
Wang Li ignored Xu Hongyuan, and he didn't want to tell Xu Hongyuan about the cause of death of Brother Fu and Brother Shi, although the Kong brothers were not killed by him, but they died because of him.
They all died innocently.
Xu Hongyuan looked at Wang Li blankly, "So you want to give the immortal law to Su Heng when you enter Beijing this time?"
"Xu Hongyuan, do you know how I learned that you killed Kong Wen?" Wang Li was a little impatient, stood up, stared at Xu Hongyuan's eyes, and said, "This is what Xu Sheng told me. Don't be surprised, Xu Sheng listened to what Xu Junyan said, it is your son, Xu Junyan. ”
"No, it can't be, the bandits don't know this, it can't be. ”
Xu Junyan read Su Heng's letter, and he was drunk and shook everything to Xu Sheng. Xu Hongyuan, I am telling you this, not to let you die to understand, but to tell you, how can I, Wang Li, be with someone like Su Heng, I am different from you. ”
Wang Li looked at Xu Hongyuan, who was sluggish, and was about to go out, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Xu Hongyuan again.
"You, do you really have an immortal method?"
Wang Li sneered, and then threw the black book in front of Xu Hongyuan's cage, Xu Hongyuan saw that he was busy reaching the black book with both hands, panting indiscriminately, trembling and opening the title page, the six words "Da Yao Zhi Volume 9" in his eyes made him breathe sluggishly, his pupils slowly dilated and dilated, and then put the black book on his face, raised his head and laughed wildly.
