Huang Qiong was speechless after hearing Gao Huaiyuan's question. This Liu Jie is worthy of being a military commander, and what he does is indeed not so clean and neat. Not only did he kill all his family members with his own hands. He also burned all the letters that he might find clues to. It seemed that he had really underestimated Liu Jiedu. However, since all the letters were burned by him, it was not possible for him to survive.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong raised his head and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Huaiyuan, this matter is of great importance. I don't trust it if it is left to others. You can only handle it in person. I will issue a handwriting later and let the Xijing Yushitai I will select some experienced investigators for you. You will interrogate all the military attaches among the seven hundred sergeants outside the door, as well as everyone in the house, including the maids and the mother-in-law, separately. "
"However, although you are interrogating people who rely on the Yushitai, everything must be controlled by you personally. During the interrogation, you choose people you trust and monitor them. No word or word you say during the interrogation must be allowed. Missed it. As for my bodyguard job, you can just leave it to others. If you want to be a qualified military attache, what big future can you get by being a bodyguard?"
He looked at Gao Huaiyuan after listening to his instructions. There was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he obviously didn't want to show his expression. Huang Qiong looked at the door of the living room with his hands behind his back, seeing the gloomy sky, and said calmly: "You are a smart child, but your character is still a little too simple. Sooner or later, you will be exposed to things that are too dark. Contact. The earlier you start, the better it will be for your growth.”
"If you don't learn more now, how can you shoulder heavier responsibilities in the future? This matter, as my uncle, is your first test, and it can also be regarded as your first official step into officialdom. However, you can If you can't pass this hurdle, it depends on yourself. Promise me as my uncle, no matter how dark things you encounter or hear, you must maintain your original intention and don't forget your original intention."
Huang Qiong's words have come to this, how can Gao Huaiyuan still say it? Regarding the matter ordered by Uncle Jiu, no matter how reluctant Gao Huaiyuan was, he could only bite the bullet and escort the people in the Liu family away. After Gao Huaiyuan left, Huang Qiong summoned a captain and said: "Buy a few coffins and bury them all. No matter what his thoughts are, after all, he is someone who has done meritorious service to the court."
"Also, tidy up this mansion. I think this mansion is a bit old, but it is small and exquisite. When I was in Xijing, I didn't want to disturb the people too much, so I could use this place as my residence. You Go and gather a hundred elite men and garrison them together. The rest of them will immediately garrison the two palaces and the Ancestral Temple, remove all the guards there and disarm them, and detain all the military attachés first."
For Huang Qiong, he wanted to use the Liu Mansion as a temporary residence. The captain was somewhat scratching his head. After a long time, he said: "But your lord, didn't the emperor's imperial decree ask you to live in Taiji Palace after arriving in Xijing to facilitate the handling of political affairs in the northwest? Besides, it is somewhat unlucky for you to have so many people die here. You, a rich man, Isn’t it a bit too much to live here?”
The captain's words made Huang Qiong smile slightly, but he said: "The emperor asked me to live in Taiji Palace, although he had good intentions. But I, the king, also have to correct his identity, right? I am just a prince, living in Although there is an imperial edict there, it is still exceeded. What's more, it is easy to live there inside, but it is difficult to get out after living there. How can you live freely outside?
"Besides, Taiji Palace has been the main palace since the Sui Dynasty. After hundreds of years of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, I don't know how many people died. The north gate of Taiji Palace is where the Xuanwu Gate Incident took place. The dignified prince I was killed there. If you want to say it's unlucky, wouldn't it be even more unlucky? Come on, don't think too much about those bullshit things. Doing your errands well now is the most important thing."
After Huang Qiong said this, the captain saw that Huang Qiong had made up his mind and did not dare to say anything more. He turned around and went down to make arrangements. Not long after, Dong Qianhong and the other girls were sent over. After seeing Huang Qiong, the three Gu girls knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Huang Qiong without saying a word. Although they didn't know that Zhuo Ruxiao was dead, they already knew about Liu Jie's death.
Gu, one of the three girls, after kowtowing, said to Huang Qiong: "I thought I would wait until I could avenge the death of my family. But I didn't expect that the prince would do what he said. , what was promised was accomplished so quickly. On behalf of the family who was beaten to death in the prison of Yan'an Mansion, and could not close their eyes until death, I thank the King of England for his great kindness."
However, her next move to kowtow was stopped by Huang Qiong. Looking at the three women kneeling in front of him, Huang Qiong said: "It doesn't have to be like this. This king is not only killing this evil beast to avenge you, but also to get rid of a moth for the sake of the country. This is what I am doing to fulfill my duty. It’s just the responsibility of a prince or a prince, so I don’t deserve your great gift.”
"Next step, how should you handle yourself? These days, not only Liu Jie is the official who died, but also Zhuo Ruxiao, the former prefect of Yan'an, and his evil-doing master, who also committed suicide in prison two days ago. It can be said that , now all your great vengeance has been avenged. Now you no longer have to compromise and stay with me. If you don’t want to stay with me, I will never force you to stay."
Having said this, Huang Qiong turned his head again, looked at the four women Zhuo Ruxiao gave to him, and said: "You are the same. Although I don't know how you were taken away from your husband by Zhuo Ruxiao, Go, send it to me. Or what he tells you to do with me, but if you want to leave and go back to reunite with your husband, I will give you silver and send you away."
When Huang Qiong said that Zhuo Ruxiao and Master Cai were dead, the faces of the four girls Zhuo Ruxiao had given away all turned extremely pale. The woman who was the most beautiful and plump among them murmured: "God, why didn't you open your eyes earlier and let this beast die earlier? If it hadn't been for him, my family wouldn't have died because of me. The one who died, the one who fled."
"If it weren't for him, I would still have a warm home, a husband who treats me as a treasure, and a pair of children. But now that my family is gone, my husband has died without a burial place. The two children are still alive because of the loss of their parents. They died of cold and starvation. My elderly parents-in-law also died because of me. Several uncles had no choice but to flee to other places, and even now they dare not return to Yan'an Mansion."
"Where can I go back? My family was ruined by Zhuo Ruxiao. All nine members of my family died in his hands, and they died so easily. Just because his master and I have never forgotten each other. He was somewhat similar to the deceased wife. He tried to force me to buy me from my husband, so he fabricated charges and beat my whole family to death in the prison of Yan'an Prefecture."
Looking at this woman who seemed a little crazy after hearing the cause of Zhuo Ruxiao's death, Huang Qiong could only let out a slight cry. After Zhuo Ruxiao sent the master to send him in, although the woman did not resist, she remained cold and cold. Among the four women, she is the only one who doesn't look directly at her. Even when he was being tormented by himself, he remained silent and did not look at himself.
He is the only one who refuses to serve himself with his mouth. It made me feel very boring at the time. Although this woman can be said to have the best figure and the most gorgeous appearance among the women around her at the moment. Even if all the women around him are included, he is still one of the best. But during the half day and night in Yan'an Mansion, it was the most boring one.
If he hadn't been worried about the dangers he would encounter if he sent her back, he might have arranged for someone to send her back at that time. I didn't expect that she would have such a tragic experience. Gu, who had almost the same experience as her, hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her when she saw her like this. As for the two other three women, apart from their pale faces, they did not have such a big reaction as hers.
The other one, although his face was also pale, was staring at the ground blankly, not knowing what he was thinking. Looking at the different expressions of the girls, Huang Qiong sighed. She said to Dong Qianhong: "Sister Hong, you stay here with them. If they make a choice, you tell me. I will give them a sum of money to provide them with food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and arrange for them to return home." Yan'an Mansion"
But just when Huang Qiong was about to leave, without Dong Qianhong's persuasion, the three girls of the Gu family knelt down in front of Huang Qiong and said directly: "As long as the prince doesn't despise our fallen flowers and willows, and doesn't despise our lives." We are older than the prince. We are all willing to stay with the prince and serve the prince and princess for life. We will work as cows and horses for the prince in order to repay the prince for his great kindness to us."
In response to the three women's answers, Huang Qiong motioned them to stand up, hugged each of them gently, turned around and left without saying anything more. However, Huang Qiong, who was somewhat unmotivated, did not leave the Jiedushi Mansion, but walked to Liu Jie's study. After entering the study, Huang Qiong took a look at the environment of the study. But I found that in the study room, there were bookshelves on several walls.
What's even more exaggerated is that these bookshelves cover three entire walls and are filled with all kinds of books. From hundreds of schools of thought to poetry collections of all dynasties, it can be said that there is no shortage of them all. Among them, there are actually many out-of-print books that are no longer available on the market. As for history books, there is no shortage of them in all dynasties from pre-Qin to pre-Tang. The only thing missing was the military manual and tactics that a senior military attache like him should read.
Seeing these books, Huang Qiong, who was originally a little uninterested, became somewhat interested. He did not expect that Liu Jie, who was a military attaché and looked a bit vulgar, could actually read and collect books, which was an elegant thing only for literati. Huang Qiong walked to a bookshelf, picked up a "Historical Records" and flipped through it. Looking at the eyebrow tattoos in the book, Huang Qiong couldn't help but sigh.
This Liu Jie seems to be very rough, but his handwriting is very good. And judging from the eyebrow comments he wrote, this person analyzed many things very thoroughly. After adding this person's experience, Huang Qiong sighed a little, what a pity for such a talented man. If he hadn't become rebellious and his character was really bad, he would still be considered a talent.
Huang Qiong stopped the soldiers who wanted to move the books out, and just asked a few of them to put the things written on the books on the desk, and then let them all go out. He was in the study room with great interest, flipping through the books on the bookshelf one by one. However, as he rummaged through it, he discovered that Liu Jiedu had not only read all these books, but also that the contents of the books in this room were really unscrupulous.
The books on the bookshelf include not only books by various schools of thought. There are all kinds of Su Nu Jing, Xuan Nu Jing, Dong Xuan Zi, Fang Zhong Shu, Baopu Zi, Yuanyang Zi and so on. As for erotic albums, there are dozens of them. There are even the so-called double cultivation methods passed down from Tubo by Tubo monks, as well as the secret book of Die'er Opera. These books, which were reprimanded by decent gentlemen, were just placed on the bookshelves.
