Ayong didn't know what was in the bag, and he didn't dare to open it without permission, but after pinching the shape of the contents, he was stunned for a moment.
This thing is hard and feels like a whistle.
He asked in confusion: "Sir, this is..."
Xie Liang smiled gloomily: "Just give it to him, he will know where to go."
Ayong lowered his head, put the pouch close to his body, and said after careful consideration: "Master, Li Jie is not one of ours, so it is inevitable that he will have different intentions. I think it is better to bewitch him, so that he can be more controlled."
Xie Liang's pair of almond-shaped eyes were raised at the end, and he always had a bright smile. Even when he was angry, there was also a slightly gloomy smile.
He smiled coquettishly and seductively, and his gloomy aura made people shiver: "No need, this Li Jie is not that Li Jie, holding his wealth and life is of no use to him, it will only make him jump over the wall in a hurry, but it will It’s a big deal.”
A Yong seemed to understand but not understand. He was Xie Liangzhan's confidant and a close person, but he was quite confused about this Li Jie. This person seemed to appear out of nowhere. He ordered people to follow him for a long time, but he didn't understand. He did not follow this person to where he stayed in the capital, but instead alerted him, making the young master very unhappy.
Hearing what Xie Liang said, Ayong couldn't say anything else.
Xie Liang rubbed his eyebrows, thinking that what he had been planning for a long time had finally come to nothing, and he squeezed the cup tightly.
With two "bang bangs", the cup and lid hit Ayong's feet, and the pale porcelain pieces shattered all over the floor.
Ayong was startled and barely controlled his body from jumping to the side, letting the hot tea in the cup splash onto the uppers of his shoes.
Xie Liang took a deep breath and said, "Let Yu Qing check what happened in Gongyuan. Li Cheng will never disappear inexplicably."
Ayong frowned, wondering: "Sir, Yu Qing is just the chief, and his authority is really limited. He can't even go to the East and West residences. He doesn't know much. If he easily inquires about things that are not related to him, I'm afraid he will If something is exposed, if it involves Judefang..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Liang glanced at him coldly. He suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had overstepped his mark. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Xie Liang glanced at A Yong, then withdrew his gaze and said two words: "Go."
A burst of footsteps came from near to far, and not long after, there was another burst of footsteps from far to near.
Li Sheng pushed the door open and walked in. There was a thin smell of blood on his body. Although it was extremely faint, you could still detect it if you smelled it carefully.
Xie Liang frowned slightly and asked, "Second brother, how is it?"
Li Sheng looked very polite, but he didn't have much awe. He only bowed slightly and said, "Although one sacrifice was lost, the other eight sacrifices all looked very good. There are about twenty more sacrifices." Then it will be of great use, and the lost sacrifice will not have any impact on us."
This is the only good news tonight.
Xie Liang's mood improved a bit. He leaned back relaxedly on the bed and sank into the soft pillow. He raised his lips and smiled: "Second brother has to work hard for this."
Li Sheng did not show an unruly expression because of Xie Liangzhan's gentle attitude. Instead, he became more polite: "I don't dare to say anything bad when I work for the young master."
bitter. "
Xie Liang's almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, and there was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes. In an instant, his expression remained as usual: "The lost sacrifice fell into Han Changmu's hands. Those losers failed again last time. I'm worried that they will lure people away." Got here.”
Li Sheng still looked calm and said calmly: "This is at the feet of the Emperor. Without evidence, even the Department of Internal Security does not dare to take people arbitrarily. As long as we no longer have anything to fall into his hands, he will be unable to do anything to us. "
Xie Liang raised his eyebrows indifferently.
He tried his best to hide in Chang'an City, not just to hide in the city and become a wealthy idler.
He has great plans and great things to do.
Since something is going to happen, it will inevitably leave traces. Since it is inevitable to confront the Department of Internal Security, it is better to strike preemptively.
He frowned and said, "Before the results of the provincial examination are released, let those pieces of information out."
Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Xie Liang's uncertain face, he swallowed his words of advice and responded, "Yes, my subordinates will make arrangements."
Xie Liang looked like a courteous corporal, stood up and personally walked Li Sheng to the door. He smiled gently and said: "Second brother, thank you for your hard work. My sister will be back tomorrow night at the latest. When she comes back, second brother will be able to relax." ."
Li Sheng pursed his lips noncommittally, saluted and left.
Xie Liang looked at Li Sheng disappearing at the end of the deep corridor. He closed the door heavily, and his face instantly darkened, as cold as ice.
Li Sheng carried a dim lantern and walked in the silent mansion. He knew that the mansion looked deserted, but in fact there were killer guards lurking everywhere, guarding the mansion impregnably.
He walked to the front yard, turned around a corridor, and saw a light on in front of the moon cave door.
The wind blows, and the clothes are fluttering in the shadow of the lamp.
He was stunned for a moment, walked over with a sneer, and sneered at the person under the lamp: "Didn't you say you won't be back until tomorrow?"
Zhou Wuhen leaned against the uneven and mottled wall and said with a casual expression: "I heard that something happened in Beijing, so I hurried back."
Li Sheng snorted: "Something happened. What big event would make you travel back at night?"
Zhou Wuhen's face turned cold and he asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter? You still have the nerve to ask me what's going on? Why didn't you stop him? How could he do such a bloody thing?"
Li Sheng seemed to have heard something funny and laughed a few times. The birds on the canopy of the tree woke up and flew away with fluttering wings.
Zhou Wuhen was so embarrassed by the laughter that he became angry and angrily shouted: "Why are you laughing? You still have the nerve to smile."
Li Sheng dusted his sleeves in disgust and said nonchalantly: "Strangling the Imperial Guards to steal their pay, trapping believers to betray the Four Holy Sects, coaxing the people into making sacrifices and setting up battle formations, and abducting children to test medicines. None of these things are as unconscionable and evil as that." , Miss Zhou, Zhou Nuxia, Zhou Sage, come and tell me about blood now, yes, I am bloody and cruel, what about you, how much cleaner are you than me?"
Zhou Wuhen's body swayed a few times, and his face turned pale. The dim candlelight reflected on his face, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
The corners of her lips curled up and she murmured: "This, this, this is different, that is for self-protection, this is for..."
She couldn't speak anymore.
"It's all the same, nothing
It’s different, don’t kid yourself! ! Li Sheng's eyes suddenly turned red and he shouted: "It's all for his selfishness and his false great cause!" ! "
Li Sheng walked forward slowly, walking into the wind blowing from the ground. A moist earthy smell rushed towards him. His voice was faint and dark in the wind, like a ghost.
"We are all sinners and guilty, and God will not side with the guilty."
"All great achievements are achieved by stepping on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Too many innocent people have been killed. If your hands are stained with innocent blood, you can't look back."
"If you are soft-hearted, you can't look back."
The night wind whipped violently against the clear glass windows, making a rattling sound.
The strong wind swept through the crown of the tree, and there was a slight crackling sound among the leaves. The branches broke under the load, and the broken leaves fell to the ground.
There are low-pressure lead clouds under the dark blue sky, the air is filled with the smell of moist earth, and the rain is getting heavier.
In the blink of an eye, there was a tinkling sound on the glass window. Big raindrops hit the window and quickly fell to the window lattice. Water flowed across the window in an instant.
Han Changmu stood by the window with his hands behind his back, a touch of sadness gathering between his brows.
He knew that in such weather, no one would do anything in the rain, and it was not suitable to do anything in the tribute courtyard tonight, but he still stood in front of the window, looking at the dark things in the dormitory. The lights danced through the rain.
In the rain and mist, the dim candlelight glowed dimly.
He watched the candlelight move from far to near, from dark to bright, with a damp rainy feel, and finally disappeared under the window.
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
The Gongyuan was eerily quiet tonight.
No, or it could be that Chang'an City is a bit eerily quiet these days.
According to the news from Cheng Chaoyan, the woman who died in Jinchangfang was indeed Princess Rong. According to time, the fetus in Princess Rong's belly was only seven months old, not less than a month old.
As the old saying goes, seven live and eight don't live. If someone does perform a caesarean section to take the baby, then the premature baby may still survive.
But he didn't know whether the baby he accidentally saved was the one in Princess Rong's belly.
Who is it in Chang'an City who is doing such bloody and cruel things, and what is their intention?
He squinted his eyes and thought of the house in Gudefang, and of Xie Liang, the boy and girl in that house.
He had never met Prince Huaizhang, nor the emperor's grandson who died young, but according to rumors, Prince Huaizhang was described as handsome, and the emperor's grandson had the demeanor of his father.
Although based on the description alone, it was concluded that Xie Liangzhan was undoubtedly the orphan of Prince Huaizhang and the grandson of the emperor who died young, but it was really a bit hasty.
But Han Changmu had a vague idea in his heart. He could confirm that Xie Liangqian, who was hiding in Judefang, was indeed the so-called emperor's grandson who died young.
He was the man who was made the grandson of Emperor Wei by his grandfather, and was later deprived of the throne by his uncle, who was forced to run away.
Once this matter is revealed to the world, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world.
Han Changmu had to deal with it carefully.
After all, during the more than ten years that Emperor Yong'an reigned, he worked hard to govern the country and bring peace to the people. No major disasters or wars occurred. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Even the refugees and beggars were much less than a dozen years ago.
