Liu Heng returned to the city with Shu Mo.
This is why in ancient times, Liu Hiiragi would "show favoritism", but in modern society, Liu Hiiragi would not do it.
After all, modern times are a legal society, but ancient times...
With no government servants to accompany and protect him, and only a "powerless" civil servant and his book boy, it seemed like the best time to take action.
So someone couldn't help it and jumped out.
Local tycoons like Liu Shiquan have many people from the world who seek refuge with them, and big figures like Cai Jing will only have more people seek refuge with them.
These people all want to make meritorious deeds in front of Cai Jing.
Along the way, Liu Heng encountered no fewer than five assassinations.
Everyone who jumped out was easily dealt with by Shu Mo.
The body was also properly disposed of.
Liu Heng was not like Nian Yongyi, who didn't even hide the body after killing someone. Wasn't this an obvious way for the government to intervene in the investigation?
Having killed many bandits and robbers along the way, Shu Mo was already very experienced in handling corpses.
The corpses he disposes of will never be discovered by the government.
The two people returned to the city smoothly.
The news reached the ears of some people, and those people only thought that Liu Heng was lucky, and did not think that Liu Heng and Shumo were masters.
In fact, the two of them looked weak on the outside, unlike those who practiced martial arts.
Shu Mo was extremely angry. Cai Jing and those traitorous ministers were already hated by the people, and now they wanted to kill their masters. How could Shu Mo bear it?
Shu Mo: "Sir, I'm going to kill all those guys."
"No need." Liu Heng smiled.
His smile looked gentle and nice, but Shu Mo knew clearly that Liu Heng looked like this was the scariest person.
There was a dark energy condensing in that smile.
Liu Heng: "After all, they are all big shots, and they must die in a grand manner to be worthy of their status."
Shumo: "??"
Liu Heng: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and the officials will take their officials to the palace wall to have fun with the people that night. At that time, let Cai Jing ascend to heaven under the eyes of the officials and the people of the capital, right?"
Shumo: "??"
Although he didn't know exactly what his master wanted to do, Shumo was very happy.
If his master takes action, Cai Jing will never survive August 16th.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.
People in the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is not a festival that has existed since ancient times. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it became an official festival.
The people of the Song Dynasty naturally paid great attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, various grand celebrations were held in various towns within the Song Dynasty. The scenes were grand and lively. Almost to the point of staying up all night and never sleeping.
"Tokyo Menghualu" records: "On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, noble families decorated their terraces and pavilions, and people competed for restaurants to play with the moon, and silk baskets were boiling. Residents in the inner courtyard heard the sound of sheng poles in the distance at night, as if they were outside the clouds. Children in the village, Playing all night long. Playing in the night market, as for understanding."
This shows how lively the Mid-Autumn Festival was in the Song Dynasty.
The Liu family made preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Although Liu Heng is the only one in the Liu family in the capital, the housekeeper still prepared many lanterns to hang in the house, and even prepared melon and fruit mooncakes to worship the moon.
I bought mooncakes from a pastry shop outside, and I bought some of various flavors.
Liu Heng ate a piece to comfort his stomach, then took a car to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet held in the palace.
As the emperor's most favored minister and the younger brother of the pregnant concubine, Liu Hiong is now a famous person. There are many people who want to make friends with him, and many people come to make friends with Liu Hiong.
Liu Heng answered them one by one with a smile.
That proficiency made many people surprised and exclaimed that this man was just like an old fox who had been in the court for decades.
"Master Liu." A slender-looking old man came over and greeted Liu Heng.
Liu Hao quickly raised his hands and saluted: "I have met Mr. Cai."
The person who came was none other than Cai Jing.
Cai Jing looks good and his appearance is very coaxing, otherwise the handsome Zhao Ji would not always favor him.
Cai Jing smiled: "Master Liu is a promising and energetic young man, which makes me, an old guy, envious."
Liu Heng: "Master Cai is getting stronger and stronger, making this kid feel ashamed."
Cai Jing narrowed his eyes and invited with a smile: "After the palace banquet, there will be a banquet in my mansion. Would you like Master Liu to come and have a few drinks?"
Liu Heng also smiled: "My lord invites me, I dare not refuse,"
Cai Jing: It is a good way to die after being drunk and falling into the river and drowning.
Liu Hiiragi: Can the banquet be held without the host?
Zhao Ji arrived, followed by the Queen and Pan Jinlian.
Pan Jinlian's belly is already very big.
In the past few months, she had encountered many plots, all of which were aimed at her stomach.
Pan Jinlian was on guard against some calculations.
There were some calculations that she didn't take precautions against.
Thanks to the pregnancy pills given to her by Liu Heng, her belly was stable.
Pan Jinlian took the opportunity to eliminate a group of those who had done something to her.
She didn't take action herself, she just cried aggrievedly to Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji took action.
Isn't it obvious who the favorite woman prefers compared to the has-been concubine?
What's more, Pan Jinlian is still pregnant with Zhao Ji's child.
Those women who attacked Pan Jinlian were unlucky. The lightest punishment was to be demoted, and the heaviest punishment was to be demoted to the cold palace.
And the concubine who was demoted to the cold palace was named Wei.
The son she gave birth to was not very popular with Zhao Ji. Now with such a mother, Wei's son was even less popular.
Pan Jinlian received the news from Liu Heng and gave Zhao Ji an idea to adopt Wei's son.
Weishi's son Zhao Gou was no longer Zhao Ji's son in name, nor was he a prince anymore, and he lost the qualification to inherit the throne.
Zhao Gou: "..."
Just cry to death!
Liu Heng smiled.
He looked down upon the mother and son.
After being captured by the Jin, Wei Shi remarried a Jin in order to survive and please the Jin.
Later, after returning to the Southern Song Dynasty, for the sake of his own reputation and not wanting his scandal in the Jin Kingdom to be known, he accused the real Empress Roufu of being a fake and asked Zhao Gou to kill the Empress Roufu.
The topic was brought back to block.
Zhao Ji took the queen and concubine to their seats, and the banquet began.
Singing, dancing, singing, juggling and other performances were presented one by one, which was quite exciting.
Especially those juggling, they are really good, and the performers have at least ten years of basic skills.
The dishes at the banquet were also quite delicious.
There are charcoal pots placed in the food boxes to keep the dishes warm.
From the imperial kitchen all the way to the main hall, the dishes are still hot and the taste is not affected.
Liu Heng was satisfied with the food and happy to watch.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Ji led his ministers up to the palace wall.
Under the palace wall, many people were already waiting to pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor.
This is their only chance to see the emperor's face.
Although, they could not clearly see the emperor's appearance.
Zhao Ji and others went up to the palace wall, and the people immediately knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
Zhao Ji was so proud that he kept waving to the people below.
Liu Hao stood on the side far away from Zhao Ji and looked over.
I saw lanterns hanging on the main streets in the city, and lanterns hanging at the door of every house.
And the most water lamps.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Song Dynasty, the people enjoying the lanterns were not the lanterns on the street, but water lanterns on the Mid-Autumn night.
Bianliang's waterways are very developed. Four rivers, Bianhe River, Caihe River, Wuzhanghe River and Jinshui River, surround or pass through Bianliang City. Therefore, it is said that "four rivers run through the capital".
Therefore, it is convenient for the people to put out water lanterns.
Of course, it also facilitates the calculation of some people who want their enemies to "slip and fall into the water", such as Cai.
