Chapter 128: Hidden arrows hurt people
Qiu Yun is not a few Taoist scholars, and he hates Changxiao Guan Ke for many years. Ma Wanli was rumored all the way, and fled to Funiu Mountain in despair. Chen Tianba saw that his expression was depressed, and after careful questioning, he realized that the cottage was in great trouble, and Yu San lost the message again. Chen Tianba sighed when he heard this, and ordered everyone to put wine for Ma Wanli to suppress the shock, while sending people down the mountain to find out Yu San's whereabouts along the way.
The government proclamation was posted on the list, and the minions who spies on the news were frightened when they saw the notice, and he rushed back to the cottage in a panic, and told Ma Wanli the bad news that he had been killed. When Ma Wanli heard this, he immediately fainted. Chen Tianba invited Xinglin Guoshou and rescued him after several treatments.
Ma Wanli broke his liver and intestines, and the voice of grief resounded in the secluded village. Chen Tianba was worried that his excessive grief would be harmful to his body, so he persuaded him bitterly. After a long time, Ma Wanli's rain subsided, and a raging fire of anger began to burn on his face.
Chen Tianba got up from the tiger skin chair, his eyes were violent, he gritted his steel teeth, and said to the minions: "You have immediately arranged the spiritual position of the third master, and I want to pay tribute to you and the third master of the second village." ”
Slaughtering three animals and putting incense on the table, Chen Tianba and Ma Wanli wept at the desk, and the two took the broken intestine liquor handed over by the minions and drank it all. Immediately, Chen Tianba slammed the wine bowl to the ground, and for a while, the broken jade splashed flowers, and the flame of revenge rose in Chen Tianba's heart.
Cao Qincheng was extremely slippery, killing two birds with one stone, except for Yu San, and took the opportunity to secretly inform Wei Zhongxian in a secret letter that Liu Tianhe hesitated and delayed the military plane when he suppressed the Kou in Taihu Lake, and it turned out that he and the thief were in the third old acquaintance. The confession of Liu Xiong was submitted.
Wei Zhongxian was worried that he couldn't find Liu Tianhe's handle, and after having this letter, the old thief immediately entered the palace and told Xizong about Liu Tianhe's collusion with thieves. When Xizong heard the old thief's slander, Long Yan was furious, and he hurriedly ordered someone to recall Liu Tianhe back to Beijing with a fast ride of 800 miles. Since Cao Qincheng entered the camp as a prisoner, Liu Tianhe faintly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart. This thief was armed with Shang Fang's sword and was domineering in the camp, and the soldiers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. At the temporary time, the old thief Wei Zhongxian once gave him a secret plan, and Cao Qincheng urged Liu Tianhe to march and attack the Taihu Lake Village. However, Liu Tianhe has been using troops for many years, and of course he knows the truth of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles". Unexpectedly, this incident turned out to be a pretext for giving people a handle. visited Liu Tianhe late at night, which made Cao Qincheng make a big fuss about this matter.
Liu Tianhe clearly understood in his heart that he had fallen into the trap carefully arranged by Wei Zhongxian step by step. He never thought that Wei Zhongxian, a thief, and Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty and the enemy Shiliang of the Tang Dynasty would be despicable and vicious. Back then, the trivial matter of sesame mung beans made Liu Shangshu lose his beloved son, and now he is afraid that when he returns to Beijing, he will also be in turmoil, and his future is bleak.
The family general Liu Peng saw that Liu Shangshu was preoccupied, and took off his cloak and sent it to Liu Shangshu, Liu Shangshu had a sad face, and sighed from time to time. Liu Peng comforted him, but he couldn't sweep away the gloom on Shang Shu's face. When he was young, Liu Shangshu said to Liu Peng with a solemn expression: "I may be imprisoned when I enter Beijing this time, you leave now quickly, don't get involved in right and wrong for me." ”
Liu Peng listened to Shangshu's words and knelt on his knees, bowed down and sobbed: "Master, Liu Peng has been taken in by you since he was a child, and he treats martial arts as his own, and now that the master is in great trouble, how can Liu Peng be an unkind and unrighteous villain? I am willing to live and die with the master, which thief dares to touch the master's cold hair, unless it is me Liu Peng who is dead." As soon as he spoke, Liu Peng clenched his fists tightly, and his handsome eyes shone with perseverance.
Liu Shangshu was in tears, he patted Liu Peng's shoulder and said: "Peng'er, now that Jie'er has been killed by the old thief, if you lose again, who else can avenge the Liu family." I have been loyal and righteous all my life, and I have a clear conscience, even if Wei Zhongxian harms me, he can't discredit the old man's reputation. ”
Liu Peng wept bitterly, and he said hoarsely: "Master, Liu Peng has never seen you so full of sorrow as today, and in front of thousands of troops, your eyes don't blink. Why did you say ominous words again and again when you mentioned Wei Zhongxian. ”
Liu Shangshu and Wei Zhongxian have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and his smile hides a knife, and his stomach hurts people with poisonous water, Liu Shangshu is touched. When the monarchs and ministers of the Imperial Garden chatted, Liu Shangshu brought Xizong the bamboo rice dumplings from his hometown, and Xizong praised them again and again after tasting them. The old thief Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to offer slander, and used rice dumplings as a pretext, he exaggerated, and swore to Xizong: "Long live Chen Qi, Lord Liu's rice dumplings are certainly sweet and delicious, but this bamboo tube is a rare strange bamboo." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xizong was immediately happy, he liked to listen to stories the most. Especially after listening to Wei Zhongxian tell him, the old thief straightened out his hoarse broken gong voice and began to tell Xizong about the magic of this bamboo tube. Liu Shangshu's eyes were stunned, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Wei Zhongxian was selling in his gourd.
The three of them walked leisurely, enjoying the splendid scenery of flowers, and listening to the strange bamboo that Wei Zhongxian said. Wei Zhongxian pretended to be mysterious, and there was nothing exciting and fascinating in this story. The old thief stretched out his voice, and said in a strange manner: "Saint, the bamboo in Liu Shangshu's hometown can actually be shaped like a towering tree, do you say it's magical?"
Xizong nodded when he heard this, and he said to Wei Zhongxian: "I have traveled all over the world, and I have seen a lot of rare and foreign objects, but I have never seen a bamboo as thick as a tree. Liu Aiqing, when will you take a break and lead me to your hometown to enjoy it. With that, Xizong narrowed his smile and looked at Liu Shangshu.
There is a hidden danger in this calm and calm, and the slightest carelessness in words will displease the saints. According to the truth, there is no doubt that he hinted to Xizong that Wei Zhongxian's previous words were suspected of bullying the monarch. However, Liu Shangshu is upright and will not beat around the bush. He told Xizong the truth, and Xizong turned his head and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Aiqing, you must be confused. mistook other people's words for Liu Aiqing's words. Wei Zhongxian was a soldier, and when he heard Xizong say that he was confused, he couldn't help but have a cold shiver on his body. He looked at Xizong with the eyes of a mung bean bird, and Xizong smiled, not blaming him. The old thief secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was annoyed at the abruptness of his words.
A joke planted a bane, Xizong didn't care, Shangshu also forgot about it, only Wei Zhongxian had a rat belly and chicken intestines, thinking that Liu Shangshu was deliberately unable to get along with himself. is because he is brewing a murderous plan in his heart, and he is always ready to bring down Liu Tianhe.
Sure enough, as Shang Shu expected, the accompanying car drove into Beijing. Jinyiwei held the edict in his hand and stopped Liu Shangshu. Zhou Yingqiu, the thief, tilted his head and squinted his head, and the goldfish eyes glared viciously at every soldier present. There was no sound all around, only the poplar trees beside the road made a sad sound of "rustling". After Liu Shangshu got off the sedan chair, he also came to Zhou Yingqiu's body emperor, he clenched his fists slightly, and said to him: "I don't know what General Zhou wants to intercept the old man's car?"
Zhou Yingqiu's fish-eyed eyes were like pearls, and then he took out the edict from his arms and said to Liu Shangshu: "Liu Tianhe takes the order." Liu Shangshu threw himself to the ground and said respectfully: "Minister, Liu Tianhe received the order." ”
Then Zhou Yingqiu spat and read in a chaotic manner: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict, Liu Tianhe colluded with the thieves to slow down the army's morale, and removed him from the post of secretary of the military department, and handed it over to Dali Temple for strict investigation. ”
Liu Tianhe received the order, and Zhou Yingqiu didn't say a word, and immediately ordered Jinyi Wei to lock Liu Shangshu.
All the sergeants and halberds were bright, forming a human wall on Liu Shangshu's body. Zhou Yingqiu's toad eyes were as fierce as beads, and he spat on the ground with his teeth and claws. He shouted angrily, "Wow, kill this thief for me." With that, he took a few steps back, and the brocade guards pulled out their embroidered spring knives and confronted the generals.
Liu Shangshu turned around and said with a righteous face: "Stop me, are you going to fall into the situation of disloyalty and injustice of the old man?" Liu Shangshu took a solid step and looked at Zhou Yingqiu with raised eyebrows. Seeing Liu Shangshu's cold and stern eyes, the thief bent down and shrank his head to avoid it. He knew that he was a thief with a weak heart, how could he see this frank and blazing gaze.
Liu Shangshu glanced at Zhou Yingqiu, who was hiding his head and tail, snorted at him, and then shackled and got into the prisoner car. On the main hall of Dali Temple, Xu Xianchun was shocked by the three clanging sounds, and the three classes of officials shouted "mighty." Liu Shangshu walked in slowly, standing in front of Xu Xianchun without kneeling.
Xu Xianchun's eyes rolled upward, swallowing saliva in his mouth. is another person as iron-clad as Yang Lian, since he killed the loyal and righteous Yang Gong, Xu Xianchun has been almost unstable all night. The howling wind and thunder at night can make him crack his liver and gall. He thinks that it is Yang Lian's soul that wants his life, so that he will not be able to live in peace in this life. Many years have passed, Xu Xianchun has white hair and gray hair, and he has become much decadent.
"Liu Tianhe, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" Xu Xianchun patted the shocked wood, trying to hide the timidity in his heart with this ear-piercing sound. Liu Shangshu sneered a few times and snorted at Xu Xianchun. He said righteously: "The old man has made great achievements for the court in his life, reported to the society, and went to the people, and he thinks that he has a clear conscience. I'm not without bad deeds, so why should I kneel down to you, a vile villain who is in the middle of the flames?"
In Liu Shangshu's deep eyes, he swept away the vicissitudes of time, and he was also dignified and majestic, which made people dare not face it. Xu Xianchun wiped the sweat drops from his forehead, and at this moment he felt more like a sinner being interrogated. Liu Tianhe was upright, so Xu Xianchun's interrogation had to come to an end. He had to wait for Cao Qincheng's reply, and as an accompanying supervisor, his words carried the most weight. In order to put Liu Tianhe to death, Liu Shangshu has a high prestige in the army, if he is not careful, causing a mutiny among the soldiers, I am afraid that he will have to move his head at that time.
Cao Qincheng himself was also anxious, and the jade phoenix tied up the dragon whip and beat him to escape in embarrassment, how could he have the heart to meddle in Xu Xianchun's mess now. Xu Xianchun waited left and right, and when he didn't see Cao Qincheng's reply, the annoyance in his heart condensed on his brows again.
