The waterways on the Yangtze River and Huaihe River are crisscrossed like strips of silver, with waves rising in the wind. On the river, boats one after another rumble forward on the white waves.
This is Luo's fleet. In the cabin, every capable man is closing his eyes to rest. It is rare that he is not a brave warrior.
Dare warriors are invincible knights and the strongest warriors. However, because they stay in the north for a long time, Luo rarely sends dare warriors to the south of Jianghuai. They are worried that dare warriors will get sick and affect their combat effectiveness, so they focus on caution.
The Luo Family has another base in Tiannan, Luo Village, which was once the Luo Family's refuge.
After the main body of the Luo family moved to Zhaocheng, Tiannan Luo Village was not abandoned. Instead, it became the headquarters of Tiannan, responsible for the affairs in the south. This time, it was the Zhennan Division who was responsible for the Jiangdong investigation.
Jiangdong was a fief of Wu State during the Zhou Dynasty and one of the concubines.
Later it was occupied by the Chu State, and the Xiang family of Ji was sealed here. It played an extremely important role in the changes in the entire history of the Chu State and the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
In particular, Overlord Xiang Yu was the only emperor who ever appeared in the Chu people, and he had a high reputation throughout Jiangdong.
After the founding of Han Dynasty.
On the one hand, Liu Bang elevated Xiang Yu's status and achievements, and on the other hand, he began to divide the old land of the Chu State. The land east of the Yangtze River was redivided into the State of Wu, the old land of Kuaiji was granted the title of the Yue State, and the old land of Jingchu had nothing to do with the Chu State, leaving only the Xiang Ying was renamed Chu County and became the capital of Chu State.
Lu Pheasant migrated a large number of Chu people to replenish the exhausted Guanzhong, which had a sharp decline in population, resulting in a decrease in the population of Jiangdong. Emperors of all dynasties liked to migrate powerful people to Jiangdong, and it was not until Emperor Xiaoding that they stopped.
On the land of Wu, Xiang Yu's incense sacrifices are still very prosperous, and it can be said that Luolingdu is slightly inferior.
"Wu Di."
Luo Qing pondered, the first rebel in the Han Dynasty was the King of Huainan. No matter where he was granted the throne, there was no one who would not rebel, so he withdrew the country and changed the county. Outside of Huainan, the problem in the Wu region was bigger.
Because Wu Di is rich, there are plains here that are rare in the south. Although it is far inferior to the continuous great plains in Jizhou, it is already quite high-quality land. Hundreds of years of hard work by the Xiang family have made the development here far exceed that of the same period in history.
"Bang!"
The boatman's skills were very good, and he stopped at the pier with just one touch.
"Arrived."
He shouted at the top of his lungs, and the men in the cabin got off the boat one after another, dispersed and left with sharp knives in their hands, and entered the big city of Jiangdong, Gusu.
Suzhou is very prosperous. More than half of the millions of people south of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River live on the Jiangdong Plain, and half of the people live in Gusu and surrounding villages.
…
After Luo Qing entered Gusu City, he quickly met the steward who reported the news. He was a very capable middle-aged man.
"Zhang Jiu pays homage to the young master."
Luo Qing clasped his fists in response and said in a deep voice: "Manager Zhang is very polite. This matter is of great importance. Please tell us what you have learned."
Zhang Jiu knew the priorities and immediately said: "Young master, it is the King of Wu. Based on the clues found, it vaguely points to the King of Wu.
Because it involved princes and kings, I was worried about making mistakes, so I stared at King Wu for a long time. I found that there were many strange faces in King Wu's palace. Their accents sounded like they were from Guanzhong. I couldn't find out more about what they were talking about.
So he quickly reported it to the family and asked the family to make a decision. "
Luo Qing had already roughly concluded that King Wu was harboring a conspiracy, but all he lacked now was evidence.
If it were really King Wu, it would be difficult to handle.
It is definitely not possible to arrest him directly. Even the emperor cannot arrest a prince without reason.
Especially just a few years after the Battle of Jingnan, arresting a prince from Guandong would most likely cause political turmoil and put the kings and princes in danger.
Luo Qing said in a deep voice: "Manager Zhang, now tell us the time and the people who entered the Palace of Wu from Guanzhong. The more detailed the better, and it is best to be accurate to the exact time, moment, and minute, the person's appearance, height, etc. .”
Zhang Jiu was a little confused, what was the use of such a thing in this huge sea of people, but recalling the mystery and power of his family, he told everything he knew.
After hearing this, Luo Qing said: "Okay, you go down first, continue to investigate, and keep an eye on Wu Wang Palace."
After Zhang Jiu left, Luo Qing took a deep breath and opened his palms. Suddenly a jade bamboo slip appeared in his hand. The bamboo slips were filled with light, reflecting the entire room with a full radiance.
An ancient aura that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness suddenly filled the world. Luo Qing, holding this bamboo slip in his hand, was like a legendary ancient sage, gentle, omniscient, and omnipotent.
[Xuanjieweiyi·Qingshi (Heaven knows, Earth knows, You know, I know): Tear open the fog of history and get all the truth. Enter the time, place, and people on Qingshi and what happened at that time will appear. This is The artifact of the historian, destroying all illusions between heaven and earth. 】
This was an artifact given when the papermaking technique appeared. It was powerful and had amazing effects. Things were indeed a bit bad this time, so Luo Sheng directly asked Luo Qing to bring this artifact out.
Luo Qing held Qing Shi in his hand and squeezed it gently. He entered the information bit by bit in his heart. The light of the bamboo slips kept flashing, alternating between green and black.
As Luo Qing's information input continued to change, the green light became stronger and stronger, and the black light became brighter and brighter.
Until Luo Qing stopped inputting information, black lines began to tangle on the bamboo slips, which were unusually obvious on the jade-green bamboo slips.
Those black lines are like dots of ink, eventually forming individual handwritings listed on the bamboo slips.
Luo Qing looked at it carefully. The first column was the time, and the second column was "The King of Wu conspired with others to set up a trap."
Luo Qing was determined and immediately continued to mobilize Qing Shi to get more detailed content, even the content of the conversation between the two parties.
In the void of heaven, the petals on a peach blossom tree fluttered down, fell to the ground, and then melted into the ground. The peach blossoms were flying, giving a dreamlike and destructive feeling.
Luo Qing naturally didn't know about this scene, nor did he know that his family heritage was burning. He looked at the words displayed on the bamboo slips and burst out laughing.
…
Wu Palace.
The prosperity of King Wu's palace ranks among the top three among all the kings. King Wu eats delicacies every day. The women of Wu are soft and beautiful, and the palace maids are of high quality. If someone who has no ambition to make progress becomes the king, what will happen to him? The emperor will not change.
But unfortunately, King Wu is not the kind of person who has no ambition to make progress.
He really wants to make progress!
How far can we go to improve?
Only the emperor's position!
As the son of Emperor Xiaowu, Emperor Xiaoding was the legitimate son, so he had no qualifications to compete. However, after the death of Emperor Xiaoding, he lost the qualification to inherit the throne because of the sentence "Guolai Changjun".
The most hateful thing is that after the violent emperor Liu Dan was executed, he suddenly stopped saying anything about Lai Changjun. He would rather choose Liu Xun, a child with a yellow mouth, than him, a prince king who was in his prime and had a reputation for virtue!
This huge gap made King Wu feel like he was bitten by a poisonous snake all the time. He was so jealous that he even began to pervert and abused the palace people wantonly. When the group found him, he immediately joined in.
Because what those people said is so reasonable, "The emperor's position is too stable and it is impossible to rebel. The only person in the world who can lose both sides with the emperor is the Luo family. As long as the two sides can fight, the world will be in chaos." Get up and we can take advantage of the fire.
And it can also weaken the Luo family. They are really too strong. They care about this and that, which is disgusting. "
He must become the emperor!
This is the obsession of King Wu.
But he didn't expect that the emperor would be aware of the conspiracy so quickly, and even decisively attack the world. The only thing that could comfort him was that the emperor's power in Guandong was not that deep.
It is not easy for the court to arrest some heroes, let alone those who are protected by princes, princes and ministers. Basically, all investigations are in vain, and there is no possibility of accidents.
It wasn't until the end of the Luo family that King Wu felt the fear. The Luo family had been entrenched in the land of Guandong for too many years. Although there were many enemies, there were also many allies. There were even allies of the Luo family in the Kingdom of Wu.
He spent two or three months in fear, and found that Luo Shi also found nothing. Then he gradually felt relieved, and even felt a little happy. It turned out that Luo Shi was nothing more than that.
We can't even find Wu Guolai, and what if we find some clues about Wu Guolai?
The subordinates and businessmen who had contact with Chang'an officials have been dealt with. As long as he and a few others do not admit it, they will die without proof.
Can the Emperor and Luo still convict me based on mere speculation?
I have heard so many legends that I actually think of Luo Shi as an omnipotent god.
Come and arrest me if you can!
King Wu was sitting in the palace, with countless thoughts tumbling in his heart. He forced himself to calm down, but it was not that easy. He was still quite anxious in his heart, and he didn't even have a way to change it.
"Your Majesty, the following people came to report that a son of the Luo family may have entered Gusu."
The words of the subordinates who came to report made King Wu even more alarmed. He did not expect that Luo would actually find this place. He recalled that he should have cleaned up his hands and tail, and his heart dropped a little.
In the evening, another person hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Mr. Luo's son Qing has come to Gusu. He has sent you an invitation and hopes to invite you to see him."
King Wu's body swayed, and his face instantly turned pale. His heart was beating violently, and he was full of fear. Even cold sweat could not be restrained from flowing down. His throat was dry and he said: "What did Gongzi Qing say?" Something?"
The subordinate was a little surprised by King Wu's reaction, but he still said: "Your Majesty, the post said that I have something important to ask for your help. The specific matter, Gongzi Qing did not say."
Hearing the word "assistance", King Wu felt relieved a little, thinking that maybe the young master Qingchu had just arrived, so he needed his help.
Suddenly I felt confident, waved my hand and said, "Let's go!"
