Volume 1, Chapter 111 of the Wisdom Fight in the Capital, work in vain
[The twenty-eighth day of the first month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, Chenshi, Tsing Yi Wei]
As soon as Sun Xun died, there was naturally a lot of movement in this Tsing Yi guard. After the guards found out that Sun Xun was dead, they hurriedly ran to report Yang Wenyuan. Yang Wenyuan was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly took people to check on the number A cell of the Imperial Prison. When he saw that Sun Xun was indeed dead, he was disappointed. After careful inspection, Yang Wenyuan immediately discovered the sword wound on Sun Xun's left chest. He was furious at that time, and angrily scolded the subordinates around him, how could they also put assassins in this heavily guarded prison?!
The leader who was in charge of the cell No. 16 did not dare to conceal it, so he trembled and explained in detail the fact that Xu Ke had entered the No. 16 cell of A-shaped cell alone at the right time today.
Yang Wenyuan asked the rest of the guards guarding the prison door continuously, and saw that everyone made it clear that Xu Ke was indeed the only one who had seen Sun Xun, and after Xu Ke got out of the prison, he saw that Sun Xun had died violently.
Yang Wenyuan heard everyone's words, and saw that Sun Xun's chest was a sword piercing wound, this person's evidence and material evidence were all there, so Xu Baihu was naturally the one who stabbed Sun Xun to death.
As for why Xu Ke stabbed Sun Xun to death, Yang Wenyuan couldn't understand it in his heart. In Yang Wenyuan's heart, Xu Ke, as a student of Qiu Mingli, and desperately escorted King Wei, so he was naturally already a party of King Wei. However, killing Sun Xun has since eliminated the mouth of the only criminal, and what good will this do to the King of Wei? Isn't this a great favor to the King of Chu?
"Sure enough, he is young and frivolous, he knows revenge in vain, and he doesn't know the way of power and conspiracy!" Yang Wenyuan sneered a few times in his heart, and then rushed to Governor Shen Huan, and hurriedly went to tell him.
......
Xu Ke returned to his signing office, and as soon as he sat down, Ding Chunqiu, the flag under his command, brought a tea cup and stood beside him with a smile. When Xu Ke saw that it was Ding Chunqiu, he immediately said strangely:
"Ding Datou, you feel cold outside, didn't the official let you go home to recuperate and go to see Langzhong?"
Ding Chunqiu touched the back of his head, his expression was even more surprised than Xu Ke, and he was puzzled:
"Lord Baihu, subordinates...... The subordinates don't feel the wind and cold, besides, the subordinates haven't seen Lord Xu for two days, so I'm embarrassed to go back immediately after seeing the adult!"
Xu Ke took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Just now in the Imperial Prison, the official saw that your fingers and throats were lost in your voice, how can you ...... It's only been a blink of an eye, and you're all cured?"
Ding Chunqiu touched his head again, his expression was even more surprised, and he said:
"Today, my subordinates were busy cleaning and tidying up in Lord Xu's office early in the morning, and they haven't been to the Imperial Prison?"
Xu Ke put down the teacup in his hand, thought for a moment, and then asked, "You really haven't been in the Imperial Prison today, and you haven't seen Sun Xun today?" It's just that at that time, his heart was all about Li Junxian, and he didn't think much about the rest. Moreover, Ding Chunqiu has been on an errand in Tsing Yi Wei for more than ten years, how could he even wear the wrong clothes?
"My subordinates swear to the heavens! I didn't even step into the edict today, let alone go to see Sun ...... Sun Qianhu" Ding Chunqiu saw that Xu Ke was suspicious in his heart, and hurriedly swore to the heavenly gambling curse.
"Okay...... Don't talk about this yet, since you are not sick, then go and help the official do something. Xu Ke said. He naturally knew in his heart that the "Ding Chunqiu" he saw in today's edict must be a disguised and fake person. But at this time, he had a lot of things in his hands, and naturally he had no time to pay attention to them.
"Please command, Lord Baihu!" Ding Chunqiu bowed his hand and said happily in his heart.
"General Li in the prison, you have taken good care of this matter in the past few days, ......and you have done a very good job in this matter! The injuries to his legs are too serious, and the people you invite are all Jianghu Langzhong, and the medicine he uses is too ordinary. General Lee's leg wound has not improved to this day. There is a Taoist temple in the west of Chang'an City, called 'Xuandu Temple'. Guan Zhu Li Chunfeng Dao forensic skills are very good, you go and invite Li Guan Master to treat General Li's leg injury......"
Ding Chunqiu couldn't help but look embarrassed, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The things ordered by the Lord of the Hundred Households, the subordinates should handle them wholeheartedly...... It's just that it's just Master Li Guan in the Xuandu Temple, and his subordinates are ...... But please really don't move! He is Li Zhenren, who is famous in Chang'an. I heard that the King of Jin sent someone to invite Li Zhenren to do a ritual for the deceased Princess of Jin, and they were all closed. Now, if the adults want him to treat General Li, he will have to come to the prison of our Tsing Yi Wei, and his subordinates are worried, can he Li Zhenren still come?......"
Xu Ke waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you just need to explain to Li Guan that it is me Xu Ke who invites him, and he will come over ......."
Ding Chunqiu was suspicious in his heart, he said in his heart, Li Zhenren, who couldn't even invite the King of Jin, could be recruited by you with a small hundred households in a word? Then Li Zhenren didn't even want to enter the Jin Palace, and would go to our Tsing Yiwei prison? Although he thought so, he didn't dare to say it in front of Xu Ke. At that moment, he had to make a sound and hesitate in his mouth:
"Then go down and try, if you really don't move, don't blame your subordinates for ......"
Even if Master Li Guan is really not available, he has a nagging apprentice who will come with you...... Xu Ke waved his hand.
"Is it okay for an apprentice?" asked Ding Chunqiu.
"Okay! go quickly......" Xu Ke said with a smile. He suddenly remembered Xiyan's cute appearance, and his heart immediately burst into a smile......
After Ding Chunqiu left, it didn't take long for the Tsing Yi guard to inspect the Qianhu Nangong and rushed in without saying a word. As soon as he entered, before he could take his seat, he asked eagerly:
"Brother Xu, I heard that you ran to the prison early in the morning and stabbed the rebel Sun Xun to death with a sword?"
"Brother Nangong, sit down, sit down, where did Brother Nangong hear this news?"
Xu Ke smiled and asked Nangong to sit down silently. One of his subordinates, Zhao Sanma, hurriedly respectfully offered a tea cup to Nangong Buyu, and then bowed down again.
"Oh! You can still laugh, Yang Wenyuan has already told Shen Dudu all about this matter! Now, the entire Weili people know that it was you Xu Baihu who killed Sun Xun!" Nangong said anxiously without saying anything. He didn't believe it in his heart, but at this time, seeing that Xu Ke did not deny it, and seeing that he looked as usual in his speech, he knew that this matter must be true.
"Hmm...... Then Sun Xun was killed by Xu, so what should he do? He is also a mortal person anyway......" Xu Ke sneered.
Brother Xu, Sun Xun is a key criminal who assassinated Qincha, how can he be killed at will without the holy decree? Besides, the mastermind behind him has not yet been tried, so you will give him to ...... Now that this clue has been broken, if the emperor blames him, how can it be good! Brother Xu, I think you are a wise person, why do you want to do such a stupid thing? Is it really as Yang Wenyuan said, you have a grudge against Sun Xun in your heart, and you take revenge and vent your anger privately?
Xu Ke smiled and said: "Brother Nangong, if I tell you that it was him Sun Xun who begged me to stab him to death, do you believe it?"
Nangong was silent at this time and suddenly realized, he thought about it a little in his heart, and then he knew that this matter was probable, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Yes! That Sun Xun was tortured by Yang Wenyuan so that he didn't look like a human ghost or a ghost, and I heard that he was brutally tortured by his two brothers last night." It's better to die early and be liberated than to live in the world like this...... I didn't expect that Brother Xu could still have such a righteousness towards Sun Xun. Your sword has saved him endless troubles!"
Xu Ke said: "Even if Sun Xun has all kinds of mistakes, he is still a man, and he has been abused like Yang Wenyuan, and he didn't say a word. Because of his stubbornness, he should not suffer that living sin again, but I gave him a sword......"
Nangong sighed silently: "Ahem! Brother Xu is a good person, your sword has freed Sun Xun, but now, you yourself are going to get into trouble!"
Xu Ke smiled and said: "It's okay! Brother Nangong doesn't need to worry too much, I, Xu Ke, do things by myself! Look at Yang Wenyuan, what can you do to me!"
Nangong thought for a while, and then said: "This matter can be big or small, to put it mildly, it's just that you are in a hurry, and you use excessive punishment, so that the rebel dies and cannot be saved, then it is just a small dereliction of duty, at most you will be counted once; to say more, that is, you deliberately kill people, sabotage the trial, collude with the mastermind, and have bad intentions...... If you say so, you are guilty of complicity......! It depends on how Shen Dudu performs in front of the emperor. ”
Xu Ke said: "Let him be!"
Nangong said hurriedly: "Brother Xu, follow me quickly, go to Shen Dudu, and explain it! Brother Fool can also help you say a few good words......
What Nangong didn't expect was that Xu Ke just waved his hand, saying that he didn't want to go with him to meet Shen Dudu. Nangong was speechless, so he had to shake his head and sigh and walked out.
As soon as Nangong returned to the South Hall, a guard rushed to inform him that Shen Dudu had discussed with several thousands of households in the council hall, and ordered him to go immediately.
When Nangong rushed to the council hall without saying a word, Shen Huan had already discussed with Pei Caibao of the Qianhu of the Nan'an Ping Division, Zhang Muye of the Qianhu of the Qingjing Division, and Zhu Leyun of the Qianhu of the Luan Yi Division for a long time. Nangong was silent, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Shen Huan and said, "It's too late to be humble, and the governor will forgive the sins!"
Seeing Nangong silently entering the meeting hall, Shen Huan immediately said: "Nangong Qianhu, the governor has already discussed with the three thousand households, since Sun Xun is dead, the whole family of Sun Mansion should be captured as one, don't let it slip through the net! The emperor has already ordered us to raid his Sun Xun's mansion." Today, you and Zhang Qianhu will go to Sun's Mansion and take people from their homes!"
Nangong looked at Pei Caibao silently and said, "Shen Dudu, didn't Pei Qianhu make a plan yesterday to wait in the Sun Mansion and capture Sun Xun's comrades?"
Shen Huan said: "Although the strategy is good, it just can't catch up with the changes. Now that the main culprit is dead, what is the use of catching one or two thieves! As soon as Sun Xun dies, the life or death of his entire family depends on the will of the Lord Banzai. This governor is going to enter the palace to face the saint, this matter of stealing the house and taking people, you two should do it quickly!"
Several thousand households received the order, and they went separately. Nangong was silent and uneasy, and after the others had dispersed, he walked up to Shen Huan and asked, "Governor Shen, Sun Xun was stabbed to death by Xu Baihu with a sword, this matter, Governor Du plans to ......"
Shen Huan turned his head and stopped: "Who said that Sun Xun was stabbed to death by Brother Xu?"
Nangong said silently: "Yang Wenyuan came over, didn't he tell the governor, saying that Xu Baihu stabbed Sun ...... to death."
Shen Huan waved his hand and said, "Yang Wenyuan, this birdman, was originally Sun Xun's cronies. This time he escaped punishment by luck, and just made a small contribution, he came to bite indiscriminately. Do you believe what this birdman said? I just reprimanded him fiercely, telling him to make his moves brighter in the future, so that no one will talk nonsense before he can see it clearly! In the future, whoever asks about the cause of Sun Xun's death will naturally be tried to death by him, Yang Wenyuan! Last night, his two brothers even Sun Xun for one night!
Nangong silently lowered his head and thought for a moment, but said worriedly: "Dudu, just now I have gone to the heavenly prison to check it personally, and the sword wound on Sun Xun's left chest is indeed undoubted, and it is also his fatal wound. I'm afraid that this matter can't be hidden from the saint, Nangong knows the meaning of the governor to protect his subordinates. However, if the Holy Lord really asked, the governor would say this, and the others would be easy to deal with, but I am afraid that the emperor and his old man would ......."
Shen Huan couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said, "It's still Nangong who is thoughtful! It seems that after entering the palace for a while, the emperor wants to ask seriously, and the governor can only tell the truth......
Nangong was silent but said: "Governor, Nangong has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Shen Huan hurriedly said: "Nangong, there is no one else here, in front of me."
Before, what else can't be said!"
Nangong said silently: "Dudu, Brother Xu is a hundred households appointed by the emperor, and he holds the Kunwu sword given by the emperor. Come to think of it, the emperor must have great trust and love for Brother Xu. When Shen Dudu entered the palace to explain this matter, if he said too much about the fault of Brother Xu, it would inevitably arouse the interest of the emperor and his old man. If, according to the law of our great cadres, he stabbed to death for no reason and conspired to commit a reciprocal crime, it would be a capital crime! Du Du thought about it, Brother Xu was the person who was ordered by the emperor to be simple, how could the emperor bear to give him death? At that time, if the emperor does not come to power, the governor will be even more difficult to behave......
Shen Huan said: "According to your wishes, you still have to hide the cause of Sun Xun's death!"
Nangong said silently: "Your Majesty, the old man's sacred heart is arbitrary, and he knows everything, how can he not know the cause of Sun Xun's death? If the governor deliberately conceals it, he will fall into the crime of not reporting it......
Shen Huan said irritably: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then according to your Nangong opinion, what should you say?!"
Nangong stepped forward silently, and whispered to Shen Huan: "If according to Nangong's foolish opinion, after the governor enters the palace, he only needs to do this, like this, and so...... It must be fine!"
......
At the same time, in the Yunqi Inn in Changle Fang, Chang'an City, after Luoyang told everyone about Sun Xun being stabbed to death by Xu Ke in the Imperial Prison, Sun Xiwen was already crying, and the rest of the people were filled with righteous indignation, and they were all gearing up, eager to find Xu Ke for revenge immediately.
Luo Yu is still experienced, and when he heard that Sun Xun was dead, he said to Luo Yang:
"Senior brother, now Senior Brother Sun has unfortunately died, but my sister-in-law is still locked up in Sun's mansion, should I go to the rescue?"
"Uncle Luoyang, my dad is gone...... Hurry up, save my mother!" Sun Xiwen also cried on the side.
"Okay! Uncle didn't save your father, I must rescue your mother today!" Luoyang nodded in agreement. Although he felt that it must be dangerous to re-enter Sun's mansion, but at this time, facing Sun Xiwen who was crying bitterly, how could he bear Xiaowen to become an orphan from now on?
Luoyang took out the piece of Sun Xun's hair from his arms, handed it to Sun Xiwen's hand, and said:
"Xiaowen, this is your father's relic, you see it as if you see your father! From today on, you must remember this revenge for killing your father, and you will definitely practice martial arts in the future and avenge your father when you grow up!"
"Well! Xiaowen remembered! The revenge of killing his father is not shared! One day in the future, I will break this Xu Wu's body to pieces!" Sun Xiwen knelt on the ground, bowed down and raised his hand, took his father's small lock of broken hair, carefully wrapped it in a silk scarf, and hid it in his arms.
Luoyang looked at Sun Xiwen, whose face was full of tears but still couldn't hide a strong and resentful look, and suddenly realized that he was so similar to his childhood self. When he was young, his family suffered an accident, and his parents died, leaving him alone as an orphan. It was his master Master Likong who took him in, raised him, and taught him a wonderful martial arts, which gave him the prestige of today's "Cangshan Twilight Rain Sword...... At this time, Luoyang had secretly made up his mind in his heart that as long as Xiaowen was willing, after returning to Shaoshan, he would show the master of the family, accept Xiaowen as an apprentice, teach all his martial arts, and raise Xiaowen to grow up.
Next, after discussing with Luo Yu and the others, Luo Yang decided to enter Sun's Mansion to save people tonight, taking advantage of the darkness of the night when the defense was the weakest.
Luoyang and several juniors and disciples planned for a long time, arranging everything about who would answer tonight, who would cover, who would enter the house to save people, and who would create chaos to lead away the officers and soldiers.
The five of them were not familiar with the terrain of Chang'an, and after the planning and distribution stopped, Luo Yu proposed that he and Luoyang go to the surrounding Sun Mansion to check the terrain first. When the time comes, it is better to escape quickly after saving people.
When Luoyang heard this, he suddenly felt reasonable, and he ordered the three junior disciples to wait at the inn while Sun Xiwen was guarded. He and Luo Yu left the inn and went to the Sun Mansion in Yongxingfang.
No, Luo Yang and Luo Yu had just entered Yongxingfang, and they saw a large group of officers and soldiers running all the way along the road, all in the direction of Sun Mansion. The two followed quietly, hiding from a distance on the corner of the street outside the gate of the Sun Mansion to snoop.
I saw that the guards of Tsing Yi Wei kept going in and out, packing and sealing all the items in Sun's mansion, and carrying them to the car and pulling them away. The whole Sun Mansion, together with the servants of the family, a total of more than 100 people, were all tied up with their backhands and forcibly escorted away by the guards.
Seeing this, Luoyang couldn't help but pause and sighed: "We're a step too late! I can't imagine that this Xu Wuxian is vicious! He just killed Senior Brother Sun, and as soon as he turned around, he ordered someone to raid Senior Brother Sun's house! There are only old and weak women left in this family, but I hate Xu Wuxian, a dog thief, who doesn't even let go of these women and children!"
Luo Yu asked: "Senior Brother is sure that my Senior Brother Sun's loss of official position and death, and even the suffering of the whole family, are all due to what Xu Wuxian did? Who is this person named Xu Wuxi? Does he have any deep hatred with Senior Brother Sun?"
Luoyang said: "Although I don't know the details inside, but the dog thief stabbed my Senior Brother Sun to death with a sword, but I saw it with my own eyes. Poor my Senior Brother Sun before he died, he was tortured so that people don't look like people and ghosts...... I don't know what kind of hatred there is among them, and they let this Xu Wuxian take revenge on my Senior Brother Sun so madly! I heard that this dog thief is still a big disciple of the Shushan faction......"
"Shushan faction ......" Luo Yu exclaimed, he was about to ask, but was stopped by Luo Yang waving his hand. Luoyang pointed to the front, motioning for Luoyu to take a closer look ahead......
Luo Yu followed Luoyang's fingers and looked forward, but saw that the two guards were vigorously carrying a black iron rod, slowly walked to the front of the car, and put the iron rod away. The long black iron rod was about five feet long and two inches in diameter, but it seemed to be unusually heavy, and the two sturdy guards lifted it straight and panting......
"Qingning Fuhu Stick!" Luo Yu couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. Full Book - Free Full Book Reading Network
