Chapter 153 9. Your father is not a joke

Before Liu Bei died, he left a sentence to his son A Dou: Your father is not virtuous, so don't imitate him.Just these seven words.It means, your father and I are not a joke, really not, don't learn from me. At the same time, Liu Bei sincerely called Zhuge Liang to Tuogu in Baidi City.He said to Zhuge Liang: "Your talent is more than ten times better than Cao Pi. It is not a problem to govern a country. As for my son, if you think he is pleasing to the eye, just help him, and if he is not pleasing to the eye, you may as well do it The emperor is well." Liu Bei seldom said hurtful words in his life.But this time Tuogu did a lot of harm to Zhuge Liang's psychology.Not only verbal harm, but also deeds.

Zhuge Liang was not the only one who asked for the orphan, and there was another minister, Li Yan.Liu Bei promoted Li Yan to be the Minister of the Book and the Guard of the Army, guarding Yong'an, and divided Zhuge Liang's military and political power. In front of Zhuge Liang, there were only two roads, one was a sad cow, and the hunchbacked A Dou slowly crawled away.The other one is hard to say, in short, it is more sad than a sad cow. But historians rarely blame Liu Bei. For one thing, Liu Bei's actions are much more humane and benevolent than many emperors.Secondly, Zhuge Liang did not live up to Liu Bei's trust.What about three?The third reason is that historians dare not investigate the unclean elements in Liu Bei's mind easily, for fear that the common people will never end with him.

The people need a wise king, and only a wise king can the common people eat and sleep well.Whoever dares to destroy the wise king in the hearts of the people, the people will never be polite to you. Furthermore, Liu Bei had an order before his death. He told Adou and his two younger brothers, Liu Yong and Liu Li, not only to regard Zhuge Liang as their teacher, but also to regard Zhuge Liang as their father throughout their lives. Interesting enough, really interesting enough.Then do your best, what do you want me to do? But before Zhuge Liang could do his best, a horrific murder broke out in the little Xishu.

The incident happened in Yizhou. The chief executive here is Zheng Ang, and the official name is Taishou.But all right, suddenly one day he was found dead in the government office, and someone killed him. When the case was reported to Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang said anxiously: "I am busy copying books. I used to copy the books of Shen Buhai, Han Feizi, and Guan Zhong. The former emperor Liu Bei ordered me to read these books to the new emperor A Dou. But these books I lost them all. I don’t know which thief stole the book I worked so hard to copy. I have to copy another copy, but there is another murder case here, and I am not familiar with the detective business. Let’s see. Let's see if there are any officials waiting to be filled, and let him go to Yizhou to solve this case along the way."

The new prefect is called Zhang Yi, who is from Chengdu.After arriving in Yizhou, he immediately started criminal investigation work.Just as he was lying on the ground carefully investigating the scene of the murder, he suddenly reported that a group of people had come outside the door. The leader was Yong Kai, an old rich man from Yizhou County. box.Beside Yong Kai is his most proud apprentice Meng Huo. Zhang Yi asked in surprise, "Lao Yong, what are you doing?" Yong Kai smiled and said, "It's nothing, just that I recently purchased more than a dozen buckets of agate, all of which are of the best quality. I thought you, prefect, are so busy with work and have so many entertainments, you must need these things to connect with each other. It's an official matter. Don't say anything about you, Zhang Taishou, we also know it in our hearts. If we don't run or send, we don't move. We just run and don't send. The happiness of the people."

At that time, Zhang Yi was full of enthusiasm, pretending to be angry and said: "Old Yong, come here, why are you bringing so many things? Isn't this a stranger? Hurry up and bring it in, so that no one can see..." Yong Kai ordered someone to bring the big box in, and when he opened it, he saw that it was cold and gloomy, full of weapons such as knives and guns.The men brought by Yong Kai grabbed the long knife and put it on Zhang Yu's neck.Then Yong Kai said with a smile: "Prefect Zhang, I heard that you are investigating the assassination case of former prefect Zheng Ang. Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Yi: "Yes... what are you going to do?" Yong Kai laughed and said, "There's no need to investigate. To tell you the truth, Zheng Ang was killed by me." "You killed..." Zhang Yi's mind was blank: "Why?" Yong Kai said with a smile: "Because I am an underground agent of Soochow lurking in Western Shu. I have just received a task from the higher-level organization, asking us to capture a prisoner and send it back. Soochow has newly invented many instruments of torture. I want to use captives to test it." The effect is functional."

The unlucky prefect Zhang Yi was bound hand and foot and put into a box.Yong Kai's people disguised themselves as merchants, carried the box onto the boat, and sailed downwind to Soochow.
