At this time, there was suddenly a sound of dogs barking, horses tearing apart, and people shouting in the forest.
Yang Jian looked up and first saw two dogs that were disappearing and appearing, and then he saw the emperor and several guards leading their horses and chasing them this way and that.
Behind him, Li Shunyi led the horse and came whirring.
"You two have always been with me."
The emperor was extremely happy to see Yang Jian, Li Shun and the wild boar that had been killed with a sword in its head.
"How dare we, the young uncle, leave the Holy Land without authorization and seek our own pleasure?"
Yang Jian was also very happy to see that the emperor had nothing left. Li Shun and two guards tied the particularly heavy wild boar to a horse and the group walked through the dense forest talking and laughing.
Because they had harvested a big prey, no one, including the emperor, complained that the road in the forest was difficult. But when everyone was in high spirits, someone came to report in panic.
"I don't know who it is, but both men and horses fell off the cliff."
This was nothing short of a bolt from the blue. Yang Jian glanced at Li Shun and Li Shun's face was filled with astonishment, pretending to be extremely shocked.
When everyone nervously ran towards the scene of the accident, Li Shuncai blinked slyly at Yang Jian. He suddenly understood that Li Shun had done this, but was afraid that he would be self-defeating and cause a flaw in the incident.
A group of people came to Yapan and a lot of people had gathered there. The cliff was only a few feet deep and the consequences would be serious even if people and horses fell down.
There was a gurgling stream at the end of the road. The man and his horse fell into the ditch respectively, according to a guard who first discovered it.
"When the man and the horse fell down, the horse was not dead. They all came after hearing the horse's miserable cry. At least three of the horse's four legs were broken and it was struggling in the stream. The stream turned red. It was The guard who went down to rescue the man gave the horse a knife, and the horse stopped screaming, but the head of the man lying in the stream was smashed and he died."
While talking, the rescuers from Xiaya managed to get the deceased down. Most of the people in the palace didn't know who the deceased was. The emperor stepped forward and took a look, and he felt incredible.
He retreated to Yang Jian and asked.
"I know this person. He is General Wei Chiqiang, the general of the Grand Chief. How did he come to the hunting ground?"
"I also know him, but I have never met him along the way. I don't know how he entered the hunting ground."
Yang Jian responded and leaned over to look at the deceased. He saw that the entire forehead was sunken and there was no trace of the broken neck. The blood on his face was cleaned by the rescuers who went down to the cliff to clean it in the stream.
Yang Jian was worried that something that might leave a loophole did not happen, so he blamed himself and told the emperor.
"A person who leads troops and trespasses on the royal hunting grounds has an unshirkable responsibility."
"It's not your fault, sir."
The emperor said thoughtfully.
"Before I left, the Grand Chief said that he would send a master with strong martial arts skills, good archery skills, and the ability to shoot birds and animals to help me. He was probably referring to this person. However, I declined at that time because he could not hunt. I went outside the palace to stretch my muscles, there was no need to be so serious and have to catch a lot of prey. Yu Chiqiang followed me without saying hello, but why did he fall off the cliff without saying a word? It is really puzzling."
The emperor thought it was difficult to understand, but it was clear in Yang Jian's heart.
Yang Jian lowered his voice and said to the emperor.
"No matter how you say it, I still neglected my duty. I thought for a moment that this tall and tall Yuchiqiang could only sneak into the hunting ground unnoticed if he mingled with the palace guards. So which palace guards were covering him up? What? What is the real purpose of his coming? The more we think about it, the more scared we become."
It was the emperor himself who was most disturbed by an uninvited guest in the hunting grounds.
It was not convenient for Yu Wenyong to reveal the evidence of the chief general in public, so he told Yang Jian to smooth things over.
"It's strange that I didn't say hello to you beforehand, saying that the Grand Chief might send Yuchi Qiang to join in the fun for me."
The emperor returned to the hunting palace and immediately made three decisions.
Yu Chiqiang's body was immediately sent back to Chang'an by car.
The remaining two people stayed at the Hunting Palace for the night and set off back to the capital tomorrow morning.
Sanming Yang Jian secretly investigated Yuchi Qiang's infiltration into the hunting ground and his fall from the cliff.
After the emperor rested, Yang Jian had the opportunity to talk to Li Shun alone.
Li Shun told what happened.
"When you were chasing the emperor, we used rocks to dent Yuchiqiang's forehead bones, so that they would not be able to see the signs of breaking his neck, and it would make people think that Yuchiqiang hit his head on a rock and died. "
Then he put Yu Chiqiang's body on the horse and led the horse to the edge of the cliff. The horse stretched its neck greedily to lick the grass on the cliff.
Li Shun unexpectedly kicked the horse's butt hard. The frightened Ma Yi got up and fell into the cliff together with the person on his back. The matter was handled so simply and neatly.
After hearing this, Yang Jian felt that Li Shun handled it quickly and quickly. Then he thought about it and asked worriedly.
"There will definitely be bushes blocking the place where Yu Chiqiang fell and there will be blood stains left behind. Can you deal with these?"
"Did it."
Li Shun patted his thigh and said again.
"The situation was urgent and we carefully disposed of the body before taking care of other details. Unexpectedly, the horse did not die after falling off the cliff. Instead, it started chirping and screaming, causing the surrounding hunters to run this way. We were in a state of confusion for a while. Let’s go and think about other things.”
The two men met and started investigating separately according to the emperor's order. Everyone who was investigated said that.
"Yu Chiqiang only appeared in the Qiyang hunting team before the big group set off. He was familiar with many of the palace guards and the royal family. He rode a horse and was dressed in the same costume as the palace guards. Along the way, he met the royal family from time to time. The nobles were chatting and joking, and walking among the palace guards from time to time. Everyone thought he was sent by the Grand Chief to serve as an errand in the team, but no one cared about which department he belonged to. After asking everyone, no one could tell clearly. He fell off the cliff by some strange coincidence."
In a particularly luxurious and conspicuous mansion 3 kilometers away from Qiyang Hunting Ground, Yu Wenhu was lying on the couch with his face up, enjoying the massage from the beautiful girl Qianqian's delicate hands. Suddenly, a noise came from the gap between the rooms.
"I have something to do with the General Manager, please open the door."
Yu Wenhu was so noisy that he lost all sleep, took the weapons, Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon Boring, put on a fox fur and headed out the door in search of the sound.
"Hey, isn't this Yu Chiqiang's father? It's such a cold day, why does the old man come to your house?"
"I heard that my son is missing in your home. You should pay the money quickly, or I will tell the public that you, the boss, killed the sage and exposed your bestial nature to the yellow sky."
The old man who spoke was standing outside the door in rags and patchwork clothes, holding a thick solid stick and looking like he only had money in his eyes.
"How much do you want?"
When the old man heard the word money, he didn't even have time to open his mouth and said discount.
"You give us 500,000 yuan and we'll settle the matter."
Yuwen protects the Tao.
"Okay, sir, which way are you looking?"
Just when the old man turned his head and looked over again, he saw Yu Wenhu's eyes turning blue and bloodshot and swollen, and he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
The old man's breathing began to become rapid, and he struggled and was about to run away, but was slapped on the body by Yu Wenhu. His face instantly turned extremely dark, as if he was electrified, and he twitched wildly, staggering, and fell down straight.
Soon the old man stood up with a smile.
In the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month, he took off his clothes and ran away with a silly smile like a madman.
When the guard saw the old man in this state, he was about to draw his knife and prepare to give him a good blow.
Yuwen protects the Tao.
"He has become an idiot. Measuring my skills, the internal power has invaded his body. Within seven days, his internal organs will be destroyed and his seven holes will bleed to death."
That night, Yang Jian reported the findings of the investigation to Emperor Yu Wenyong, and after hearing this, he sighed.
"Oh, let's stop the investigation here. Don't go any further."
"Your Majesty, there are many kinds of fighting. Think about a military general with extraordinary skills walking in the team. There are many people who see him, but only the emperor and the young uncle know nothing about his existence. Is this normal? ? Some of the palace guards gave him food and drink, and they had a heated fight with him. Furthermore, how did he fall down together with his horse?"
"Come on, come on, come on."
The emperor stared at Yang Jian for a while with a sad look on his face before speaking.
"Let me tell you the truth. Why did I send all my entourage away when I entered the hunting ground? I only brought a few captains with me because I was afraid that if there were too many people, someone would take advantage of the chaos and shoot cold arrows at my back. Fortunately, I kept an extra eye on me this time. , and asked Qing to follow behind, so that Yu Chiqiang could not advance to me. I thought that after he followed me, he probably suddenly discovered that Qing Cai accidentally fell down the cliff while running away. This is really retribution. ah."
The emperor did not want to delve into the origin and cause of death of Yu Chiqiang because he was afraid that if he pursued it, he would inevitably lead to the death of the chief minister Yu Wenhu, who would not only be unable to find out the truth but would be embarrassed and passive.
The emperor returned to Chang'an and the Grand Chief was furious. He was particularly dissatisfied with Yang Jian's approach to the cause of Yuchi Qiang's death and ordered the judges of the Ministry of Punishment to go to Qiyang hunting ground to re-examine the scene, and also to go to Qiyang to thoroughly investigate the truth of the incident among the people.
What Yang Jian was most worried about was the pool of blood left in the bushes when Yu Chiqiang fell from his horse.
Once Yu Wenhu knew that Yu Chiqiang was killed in the forest instead of accidentally falling off a cliff, he would be in big trouble.
The night before the surveyors selected by the Chief were about to set off, Chang'an received its first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter. The snow lasted for three days and three nights before it stopped.
The pavilions, pavilions, flowers, plants and trees of the imperial palace in Chang'an City are all covered with white snow.
Qiyang Hunting Ground, a hundred miles away from Chang'an, is even more snow-capped. When you look up at the white snow scene, it looks like a scene from a paradise.
If Yu Wenhu still insists on going to the hunting ground to investigate, he will have to wait until the ice and snow melt next year before he can enter the mountain.
Yang Jian, who was almost in danger after the Yuchiqiang case could not be solved, went up to the table and demanded.
"Please ask your Majesty to transfer my subordinates from the capital and send us to guard the border."
The emperor always believed that it was Yang Jian who saved him. He was grateful and issued the edict without discussing it with the chief minister.
"You also know that it's not that I refuse to let you go. You are the pillar of the court. I make you a general and send you to Suizhou, which is adjacent to Chen Liang, as the governor. In this way, whenever there is any movement in the court, you can rush to it. Come to the rescue."
"Your Majesty, please take care of me now that I am no longer in court. If Yu Wenhu dares to take any action, please ask someone not to write to me."
After saying this, Yang Jian rode a tall horse and went to Chenliang.
At the turn of spring and summer of the following year, the Wei River Basin and the entire Guanzhong region encountered a severe drought. The victims, who had been short of food for several months, were once again faced with the embarrassing situation of no summer grain harvest.
At the request of the Grand Chief, the palace magician predicted a good day and the Free Emperor presided over setting up an altar in the southwest of Chang'an City to pray for rain for the disaster-stricken subjects.
Yu Wenhu stepped onto the altar step by step, took the token, and muttered a spell. From time to time, his pupils turned blue and he shouted into the sky.
"I hear Zhong Tianzun, come out of the clouds and come see me quickly."
"Isn't that General Huang Tianhua who commands the Three Mountains?"
Scenes from Wen Zhong's lifetime appeared in front of his eyes and he whispered.
"Back when King Wu was conquering Zhou, you took advantage of the fight between me and Yang Jian to attack me from behind with the Heart Nail. If Master Jin Ling Shen Shen hadn't given me a breast shield, I would have killed you at your hands."
Suddenly there were dark clouds over Chang'an, and there was a dense sound of wind, and the leaves creaked, and there was a loud thunder, and the emperor led everyone to kneel to the sky and pray in the hope that God would send down rain.
The weather was unfavorable and the clouds started to rise again after a drought. The angry businessman vented his anger on the largest rice and flour store in the city, which was driving up prices.
Citizens swarmed out, smashed up shops, and looted a lot of grain and rice inside.
At first, the citizens only targeted one grain store that was driving up prices. Then they went out of control and smashed up all the grain stores in the city.
Emperor Yu Wenyong was dragged under the carport by the chaotic citizens. When the citizens were about to punch him and hit him with their feet, Yu Wenyong shouted tremblingly to the people around the square.
"Escort."
Yu Wenhu was unhappy when he failed to pray for the rain, so he pointed his finger at the mob robbing food and walked toward the citizens who were beating the emperor with a boring machine.
Seeing that Yu Wenhu's boring blow had hit, the citizens subconsciously stretched out their hands to block the attack, and their whole bodies went numb. Unable to withstand the force of the shock wave, the tiger's mouth was blown open.
Yu Wenhu's eyes radiated blue light and he patted the heads of several citizens, only to see their heads quickly go into his stomach.
Citizens began to evade and then rose up to resist, and a life-and-death melee spread among houses and shops in the streets.
Yu Wenhu alone carried out a bloody massacre amidst the siege of thousands of citizens. As a result, dozens of citizens were killed. As a result, a large number of citizens were massacred, their houses and shops were destroyed, and supplies were robbed by the officers and soldiers without restraint.
The emperor was heartbroken when he saw this scene, so he couldn't sit still anymore and asked someone to take advantage of the chaos and quickly go back to the palace with him to disguise himself.
The emperor, dressed in casual clothes, accompanied by several ministers also dressed in casual clothes and a group of guards, came to the streets and alleys that were exposed to military danger to inspect the scene.
