People who are involved in rivers and lakes are often carefree and unrestrained, happy with grudges;
People who are in charge of temples often have a broad mind and can accommodate all things.
Today, Liu Gan, who was sitting firmly on the middle step with his head held high, looked calm and composed on the outside, but his heart was in turmoil. During the short period of recess, Liu Qian's servants had already informed Liu Qian through the coachman of the details of what happened outside the palace, which surprised Liu Qian.
He naturally knew that Le Er was committing mischief in Liaoxi County, but because of the relationship between the several carts of treasures Le Er presented every year and his brother-in-law, Liu Qian would always cover up the crimes committed by Le Er. Moreover, Le Er Mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Liu Gan thought that Le Er was just greedy for some money and plundering some people's wealth. Who would have thought that this kid was so brave that he actually colluded with local gangs and robbed by force. Such behavior cannot be said to be a sign of brilliance. The bright-hearted people in the world, even Liu Qian who least wanted Le Er to die, were somewhat hoping that he would die!
However, Liu Gan was Liu Gan. He was the leader of one man and more than ten thousand people. He soon felt that something was a little unusual. The Liaoxi County Sheriff was the disciple of Wei Wei Chang Xia, and Chang Xia was His Majesty's Pythagorean minister. Today, Su Ran made such a big fuss outside the city, but he didn't mention Le Er at all and just accused himself.
With these connections, Su Ran's purpose came to light: it was false to sue Le Er, but someone was behind it, and it was true to bring him down!
And the person behind him who was adding fuel to the flames didn't need to be thought about to know that it was the current emperor who wanted to win over the imperial power.
After all, Liu Gan was a veteran in the officialdom. After carefully analyzing the pros and cons of letting Su Ran into the palace, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to go out of the city to transfer people, kill Su Ran, and destroy the evidence. If you die without any evidence, you can just spend some money and drag some little guy out to take the blame.
As long as things are done here, even if his nephew sitting on the dragon throne is more murderous, there is nothing he can do. This kind of follow-up thing has not been done once or twice by your boy!
People have to die, and I, Liu Gan, am not immune to this, but before I die, I have to live my life!
Liu Gan sat there, raised his eyes slightly, glanced around the court officials, and then quickly lowered his eyes.
In recent years, it is almost universally known that Liu Yan is determined to eliminate the family, suppress the royal family, and gain royal power. Although Liu Qian is greedy, he has always believed that this boy will definitely accomplish this in his lifetime. Liu Qian also understands that, He is no longer the anchor to his precious nephew, but a roadblock.
But there is nothing he can do about becoming a stumbling block. He yearns for power, and there are many people under him who rely on him to make a living. He can only live day by day. Thinking of this, Liu Gan sighed in his heart: He is already over sixty years old, and he doesn’t have much. It’s time! The 'great demeanor' of the time when the family controlled the royal power is no longer the case! In a few years, a new dynasty full of unity and strength will finally rise in your hands, Liu Yan! And I will eventually find the most appropriate time to add a piece of firewood to you and give you one last helping hand.
After the resumption of the court, Liu Qian was keenly aware of something abnormal. In the past, his nephew would always be aggressive whenever he got some handle, but today he acted like a fool. Before a disaster, there must be great silence. This is not a good sign. , Liu Gan turned his eyes and squinted at Prime Minister Lu Zheng who was sitting below him, and saw that he was looking at him and bowed slightly to him.
Liu Gan's face was full of disdain: Huh, what a plan to compete with Zhang Liang. If I guess right, Su Ran's line was planted for His Majesty by you, the old ghost, right? I want to see how you, Lu Zheng, will end this matter today. Using a little county guard as a guide, you want to cut off my head? It is inevitable that some lions will overestimate their abilities when fighting rabbits!
Liu Gan rubbed the texture on the mat table regularly, and a chamberlain secretly disappeared into the front hall.
...
There is a turbulent undercurrent in the palace, and there will be a close fight outside the palace.
This group of blockers obviously came well prepared. Sickles are not contraband items according to the "Han Code" and can be carried at will. Each of them was seen carrying two huge scythes, with cold gleams coming from the tips.
In addition, there were slight sounds of footsteps both overtly and covertly. It seemed that this group of men in black was just the first step.
It seems that some people want to see some blood about what happened today, or Su Ran's blood.
Su Ran raised his head, the sun was shining high, but God did not send down thunder and fire to help him, nor did it rain a downpour to arouse his interest. Going there, the east gate of Weiyang Palace is already vaguely visible. After passing that gate, Su Ran's life may have turned a new page, and he may have an explanation for the people of western Liaoning.
He had anticipated the dangers of this trip, and also anticipated that the greatest help His Majesty could give him, Su Ran, was to sit back and do nothing. This scene before him, he had imagined countless times in the dreams of countless iron horses and glaciers in Liaoxi County, and it became a reality. At that moment, Su Ran was a little shaken. Su Ran weighed the weight of his name and his life very clearly.
At this time, a low voice suddenly came from the darkness, "Sir, I am Nangong Guard Cheng, the chief of the guards for this trip. Lord Chang Xia ordered me to pass along a message when you were wandering around, because 'you can win only if you can conquer the heart. There are some roads in the sky, and you can’t look back after you’ve taken them!”
The voice coming from the darkness was like a good medicine. Su Ran's skinny body moved forward again. His temples, which were carved by a knife, were covered with sweat. He still knelt down step by step. His mouth was dry and white, but he still spoke loudly. Repeat what you just said.
The man in black standing in front of him stood still. When the two sides were ten steps apart, more than a dozen huge sickles swung up and threw them at Su Ran. In an instant, more than a dozen short halberds quickly passed over Su Ran's head from behind, clashed with the sickle, and returned. It was really a heavenly soldier descending from the sky, a critical moment.
The men in gray clothes, who were as numerous as the men in black clothes, stood behind Su Ran. The sickle with a thin lock tied to the end had returned to the hands of the men in black clothes. The short halberd tied with thick silk also returned to the man in gray clothes. in hand.
Su Ran, wearing black clothes and holding a yellow scroll in his hand, stood in the middle of the two groups, his expression unchanged. The scene was quiet for three minutes. Then, with a 'bang' sound, Su Ran knelt down again and said loudly, "I am Su Ran, the governor of Liaoxi County, was the uncle of the emperor Liu Qian who defied the will of heaven and had no morals and unsatisfied ambitions..."
Two sounds of 'kill' sounded from behind Su Ran at the same time. The men in black and gray were strangled and fighting with Su Ran as the center. The sounds of iron collisions began to be heard from the streets on both sides, and from time to time they were mixed with each other. There was a muffled groan, and in an instant, the city of Chang'an, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, started fighting again.
Women on the streets hugged their children tightly, with fear in their eyes. They seemed to recall a past event, the bloody tragedy that happened in Chang'an City more than ten years ago when they were still young girls. They still clearly remembered that when they went out the next day, Chang'an City had turned into a hell on earth after a night of fighting between the families.
The black-clothed men belonging to Liu Qian kept coming, and they were very cunning and ferocious. As soon as they caught an opening, two or three sickles hooked a Nangong guard in gray and cut off his hand tendon. It's just a hamstring. If the Nangong guards come to rescue him, the man in black will take advantage of him. If he doesn't rescue him, the guard who falls to the ground will bleed to death sooner or later.
The Nangong guards stood in front of Su Ran. They acted as horns and cooperated closely with each other. They were loyal and courageous and worked step by step. They used swords and shields in the front, long spears in the back, and short halberds in their mouths. They used fierce skills, slashing and poking. The man in black If he accidentally fell down, five or six holes would be poked in his body by the Nangong guards.
In the streets and alleys, fewer and fewer people were killed. Gradually, the voices in the streets and alleys changed from loud to quiet, from small to silent. The men in black and the Nangong guards who were fighting head-on on Lingyu Street each had only a dozen people left. Got into a stalemate.
At this moment, Su Ran moved. He continued to kneel step by step and crawled towards Weiyang Palace.
As Su Ran took a step forward, the Nangong guards took another step forward, and the man in black slowly took a step back. After a while, more than twenty Nangong guards emerged from the streets and joined the battle group. The dawn of victory immediately shone on Su Ran's side.
Some brave people slowly opened the ya windows of the small buildings on both sides, and saw the corpses scattered on the street. They looked at each other and were speechless. As more and more ya windows and front windows were opened, the whispers spread again. Come on.
A young man asked doubtfully, "Who do you think sent these men in black? They are too courageous!"
Another thin young man who looked like a scholar glared hard at the young man who asked the question, and said mockingly, "Are you stupid? Who is this County Sheriff Su suing?"
The young man said naively, "Uncle Liu Qian!"
The thin young man shrank his neck and said with a smile, "You said this, I didn't!"
On the other side, an old man said in surprise, "How courageous are you to do this on the street? This is the imperial capital of Chang'an!"
Another gray-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "I see! You are too timid. A county guard scared the emperor's uncle like this. Isn't there something wrong in your heart?"
The old man agreed, "Yes, as the old saying goes, 'A person who is upright is not afraid of a slanted shadow.' It seems that the people of western Liaoning really cannot survive! Otherwise, they would not risk their lives to sue the emperor!"
What people say is scary! What people say is awesome!
The windows opened more and more, the discussion became louder and louder, and the morale of Su Ran's party became stronger and stronger.
Perhaps justice will be late, but justice will never be absent.
The Nangong Guards did not leave a chance for the men in black to die. Following the order from the leader of the Nangong Guards, more than thirty people swarmed up and slaughtered the men in black cleanly.
Now that the whereabouts of the Nangong guards have been made public, they no longer hide.
Nangong Guards Cheng was not in a hurry to order to clean up the mess, but led his troops to follow Su Ran forward. More than 30 people stood tall with their backs straightened, large shields, and armed with knives and guns, guarding the surroundings and guarding against dark alleys.
As we approached the east palace of Weiyang Palace, the scene gradually subsided and the smell of blood gradually faded away. People gathered again in small buildings, roofs, edges, etc. They pointed at Su Ran and his entourage. Some people advised Su Ran. After turning back, more people were cheering for Su Ran!
At this time, a rickety old woman on crutches slowly came to the center of Lingyu Street step by step. The old woman blocked Su Ran's path. The scene suddenly became quiet. Su Ran stopped kneeling, the guards stood still, and the people looked around. , everyone thought that this old woman was a peerless master, and they all waited to see.
