Liu Yang withdrew with a heavy burden, leaving Emperor Liu alone. At this time, Emperor Liu's mood was a little complicated, so complicated that it was difficult to describe. A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. Even though he, who had always been strong, quickly abandoned the mentality that he regarded as weak, it still clouded his mind. A layer of dull shadow.
"Officials, the Imperial City Envoy is asking for an audience outside the palace!" Seeing Emperor Liu come back from his meditation, Yantuo respectfully reported the news he received.
Hearing this, Emperor Liu, who had already wanted to rest, became slightly more interested and murmured: "What is he doing here? Xuan!"
"yes!"
Before long, Zhang Dejun entered the palace. His old legs moved swiftly and he went to the front of the emperor to pay homage very skillfully. Although his expression was solemn, a little excitement could be seen vaguely between his brows.
"No courtesy! What's the matter?" Emperor Liu didn't seem to talk much about sex at this time. He only glanced at Zhang Dejun, spoke briefly and asked in a waning tone.
"Back to the official house, regarding Li Jiqian's rebellion, I need to repay you!" Zhang Dejun cupped his hands and said in a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liu raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Dejun: "You also know about this? Yes, how could you not know about this! Tell me, what kind of inside information did your Imperial City Division get?"
Zhang Dejun suppressed some of the heat in his heart and spoke quickly without thinking: "Let me report to the officials, according to a small investigation, the rebel Li Jiqian committed a murderous crime in Xiangzhou this spring, killing everyone in his family, and then fled Yinzhou.
The government of Xiangzhou issued a document approving the arrest, and sent officials to track him down until he reached Yinzhou, but he returned without success.
The young man had received this report before, and was curious and sent people to investigate. He found out that the murdered family in Xiangzhou were just ordinary people, making a living from mud and bricks. They had worked with Li Jiqian in the mansion, but later they caused misfortune and the whole family was killed.
There is something obviously fishy in it. Although the reason is not clear, according to the investigation of the subordinates, it is learned that the victim was distraught and worried after leaving the Li Mansion, and suffered a tragic disaster that night.
Now that I learned that Li Jiqian had rebelled in Yinzhou, Xiao Xiao thought about it again and had to guess that maybe the bricklayer broke the conspiracy of Li Jiqian's thieves, causing him to jump over the wall and kill everyone.
In addition, as far as I know, in the past six months, Li Jiqian's brothers and tribesmen have successively fled Xiangzhou under various names. However, the Xiangzhou government did not notice and failed to stop and control it in time, and still regarded Li Jiqian's murder as an ordinary murder. Today, only a few old and weak members of Li Jiqian's lineage are still stranded in Xiangzhou..."
After listening to Zhang Dejun's report, Emperor Liu was silent for a while, and then he smiled stiffly, but the laughter was a little penetrating: "Since you have already noticed these situations, why didn't you report them earlier?"
Faced with Emperor Liu's somewhat severe questioning, Zhang Dejun subconsciously shrank his neck and replied carefully: "Back to the official house, although I feel something is wrong, I don't want the traitor Li Jiqian to be so bold. In addition, I also Don’t dare to interfere rashly in the affairs of Xiangzhou and Wudesi..."
When mentioning Wude Si, Zhang Dejun subconsciously added the emphasis. Obviously, this was the real purpose of his report.
Emperor Liu didn't care about this guy's little thoughts at this time, and his anger was rising. But because he tried his best to suppress his anger, his expression looked a little ferocious, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "What is this? This is dereliction of duty, slackness, and indulgence of traitors. , with people who do things like this, no wonder there are traitors like Li Jiqian!"
Emperor Liu's words frightened Zhang Dejun. His legs went weak and he knelt down. He hurriedly apologized: "It's a small negligence, please punish me!"
While pleading guilty, Zhang Dejun couldn't help but whisper to himself, he wouldn't be pretending to be himself in this suggestion. However, Emperor Liu's next words made him feel relieved: "This Xiangzhou government just dismissed them from their posts. It seems that it is not enough. They are being spared too lightly!"
After saying that, Emperor Liu walked away to the side and ordered with murderous intent: "Pass an edict that all the officials involved in Xiangzhou and Li Ni should be dealt with according to Yinzhou's example. They will all be taken into custody and sent to the capital for questioning!"
"Yes!" Yantuo was slightly startled. Naturally, he could not sympathize with the unlucky Xiangzhou Zhizhou and responded quickly.
It turned out that it was not aimed at him, Zhang Dejun thought in his mind, but he still scared himself.
Seeing that Zhang Dejun was still kneeling, the anger aroused in Emperor Liu's chest had obviously not yet been vented. He stared at him coldly and said: "I will give you a task. The Li family in Xiangzhou will arrest them all and go to the capital for questioning. Let your imperial city The people in the department will keep an eye on me personally. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

I want to catch them all in one fell swoop. If anyone is left out, I will ask you for help! "
"Yes! I obey my orders!" Although Emperor Liu felt very oppressive, Zhang Dejun was not too nervous. Instead, he was happy. For his Imperial City Secretary, this was a good job.
At least, under normal circumstances, such a task would belong to Wude Division. As for whether he can do it well, he is confident. It would be fine if he didn't notice it before. Now that he has noticed, there is no way to escape such a big target of the Li family in Xiangzhou. What's more, he has already secretly sent his subordinates to Xiangzhou to control it. .
"Stay back!" Emperor Liu slowly calmed down and waved to Zhang Dejun like he was chasing away flies.
Zhang Dejun was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Emperor Liu. Seeing this, Emperor Liu frowned and said in a bad tone: "Is there anything else?"
"Get it done immediately, little one!" Zhang Dejun came to his senses, stood up quickly, bowed his head, and slowly retreated in a cautious manner.
Zhang Dejun was of course pretending that something was wrong. Emperor Liu didn't express anything to Wu Desi, which was somewhat beyond his expectation. In Zhang Dejun's view, Wang Yinwu had made a big mistake in this case, and the emperor should have dealt with it. .
However, Emperor Liu didn't take the initiative to mention it, and he really didn't dare to remind him in passing. He left Chongzheng Hall with a slight disappointment. However, Zhang Dejun quickly adjusted. No matter what, Wang Yinwu's life would only become more difficult due to this incident. As for his Imperial City Division, his power influence would expand again. Liu The emperor's distrust of Wu Desi was already obvious.
What Zhang Dejun didn't know was that after he left the palace, Emperor Liu no longer suppressed his anger and dissatisfaction. He overturned the pen holder on the royal eucalyptus and said viciously: "Damn it! He didn't even mention it at all!"
Obviously, Zhang Dejun's report once again stimulated Emperor Liu's sensitive nerves. The issue of Li Jiqian was no longer enough to make Emperor Liu too angry. What made him angry was precisely Wu Desi's dereliction of duty and Wang Yinwu's concealment.
Emperor Liu did not believe that Wu Desi would not be aware of the specious things reported by Zhang Dejun. And just now in the Chongzheng Hall, how did Wang Yinwu answer? The specific situation still needs to be investigated. He actually wanted to explain the matter away, even if it was just some signs, he could report it, but Wang Yinwu didn't mention a word.
What's this? Bully! No matter what his reasons were, Wang Yinwu violated the taboo again! On the other hand, if he is really innocent and has no preparation, then even the Imperial City Secretary can detect the problem, but Wude Secretary has no idea about it, and the matter is equally serious.
When Emperor Liu was immersed in such thoughts, the unhappiness and violence in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Come here! Pass Aries!"
...
The quiet atmosphere of Wudesi under the winter night has something to do with its atmosphere. Probably since Lu Yu, the atmosphere in Wudesi has become particularly depressing. This depression has nothing to do with the nature of the profession.
Even an ordinary detective in the yamen can feel that Wang Sizhi is worried about gains and losses, and anxious. In the confidential room, Wang Yinwu did not rest, nor was he in the mood to rest. He sat numbly behind a bookcase, holding a thick secret report in his hand, but he could not read it at all.
At this time, Wang Yinwu's heart was empty and his mind was in chaos. He was completely at a loss what to do. Emperor Liu put too much pressure on him, and after half a year, his heart was completely occupied by shadows, and he was even a little desperate.
How can we deal with ourselves now?
However, this question did not require him to answer it himself. Someone soon gave him the answer. There was a burst of movement, coming from the corridor outside the door, the sound of dense footsteps and the collision of beetle leaves, which was very harsh in this silent cold night.
With a "bang", the door was pushed open, and then, several Ouchi guards in full auxiliary uniforms broke in. The leader was a middle-aged general with a strong body and fish scale armor, Ouchi Yuhou Baiyang. , this is the bodyguard general beside Emperor Liu.
Wang Xuanzhen, Wang Yinwu's nephew, was detained and looked at Wang Yinwu with fear and uneasiness that was palpable. Correct update @王寅武 was stunned for a long time, then he opened his bloodshot eyes and asked in a low voice: "General Bai, what do you mean?"
Aries looked sternly, glanced at Wang Yinwu, and replied stiffly: "I'm on an errand according to the imperial edict!"
As soon as he said this, he noticed that Aries and the inner guards were on guard. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 142 The death of the martial artist
With his eyes and cold expression, Wang Yinwu's heart was completely cold, and he still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
After swallowing, his survival instinct prompted Wang Yinwu to fight for the last glimmer of hope: "Can you please let me see your Majesty again? I have something important to report!"
At this time, Wang Yinwu's embarrassment made Aries feel a little disdainful. He was an inspirational model who worked hard all the way up from the bottom. Aries had also heard of Wang Yinwu's deeds. His ten-year career as a martial arts ambassador was so glorious. Why does it look so unbearable tonight?
Facing Wang Yinwu's hopeful gaze, Aries' tone became even colder and said: "Your Majesty's edict is ready!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and two guards came out. One of them held a piece of white silk in his hand, and his meaning was very obvious. Seeing this, Wang Yinwu slumped down on the chair, his eyes seemed to have lost focus, and he murmured: "It is difficult to save it after all. If I had known it would happen, why would I have confessed..."
As he said that, he leaned there as if resigned to his fate, with no intention of resisting, and of course, no ability to resist.
With the "help" of the two guards, Wang Yinwu struggled a little instinctively and made a "ho-ho" sound in his mouth. Soon, everything fell silent.
"General, it's solved!" the guard reported.
"Confirmed to be dead?" Aries seemed a little worried.
"Confirmed!" The guard was sure.
Aries nodded, turned around, looked at Wang Xuazhen, who was already unconscious and trembling, and said indifferently: "Does the king know?"
"Here! General, take action!" After all, he was the most capable person among Wang Yinwu's confidants. He tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, took a deep breath, and said with cupped hands.
Seeing this, Aries smiled like a broken-faced person, took out a water bag from his waist and handed it to him. _o_m Wang Xuanzhen took it and drank it, but he soon choked. This is just wine.
Aries chuckled and said: "It's such a cold night, I want you to warm up. Your Majesty means that Wang Sushi died of a sudden illness tonight. Do you understand?"
