Chapter 58 2. Weird Butterfly

American meteorologist Edward Lorenz once experimented with a computer program and came to an interesting conclusion: "A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas a month later." This theory, we call it the butterfly effect.For years, the theory has fascinated the world and was made into the movie "The Butterfly Effect."Everyone believes that the reason why it caused a huge sensation is all related to its rich scientific connotation and philosophical significance. There are folk songs in the West to prove it: If you lose a nail, you will break a shoe; if you want a shoe, you will break a horse; A battle was fought; a battle lost, an empire fell.

From our point of view, the world is very big, and many things seem to be irrelevant, but they are closely related and interrelated.Dou Xian never expected that just five months after Liu Da's death, a strange person came to Luoyang City.With his arrival, his destiny has been profoundly changed since then. What's even more frightening is that this weird person is like a butterfly in Butterfly Effect, detonating an unprecedented and terrifying world change. The name of this strange person is Liu Chang, he was the Marquis of Duxiang at that time, and Liu's great-grandson.He came to Luoyang from Qi to attend Liu Da's funeral.The reason why he is said to be weird is because he is selling dog meat.He said he was here for a funeral, but he was actually here to pick up girls.

Anyone who has read Stendhal knows that Julien, who came from a humble background, longed to be famous since he was a child.However, if he wants to realize his dream, there are only two roads before him. One is to put on black clothes and become a missionary; Through comparison, he found that it was easier to achieve his goal by associating with noble ladies.The final result was that, like a moth, he threw himself into the fiery arms of the lady, burning himself with passion. It is very interesting that Julien's desire to throw himself into the arms of a noble lady is by no means an isolated case.In his novel, Rousseau once talked about how he fell in love with a noble lady when he was down and out in his early years, and used this to change his life.It can be seen that it became a social trend for the French ladies at that time to raise young boys outside.It was this ethos that made the timid Julien rush forward at all costs.

Similarly, when Liu Chang arrived in Luoyang City, he didn't just catch a woman and make friends with her.This is just like the market, where there is demand, there is supply, and he only came here for the needs of others.So, who does he want to fall into?Speaking of which, some people may never have thought that the gentle village Liu Chang wanted to vote for was the Queen Mother Dou who had just passed away her husband. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" evaluates Liu Chang's character, and there are only four words - simple and evil.In other words, his behavior has always been wicked and disorderly.The reason why the evil Liu Chang chose Queen Mother Dou as his target was not because her husband had just died, but because she had already inquired about the market conditions through others.

What is the market situation he inquired about?That is, Empress Dowager Dou is lonely, very, very lonely.Note that it is loneliness, not loneliness.Loneliness is a realm of self-enjoyment, while loneliness is a disease.Lonely people often relieve their illness through social activities.However, Empress Dowager Dou is very special. It has long been an open secret that she will find a man when she is lonely. However, Empress Dowager Dou is a person of status and status.It's not easy to get close to her.The problem is that Liu Chang has found a way to lead directly to the soft atrium of Empress Dowager Dou.

It's like this, Liu Chang was already restless, and he often walked in Luoyang for many years.I have been here a lot, and I have met many friends, including one named Deng Die, who was a captain of the infantry at that time.And it just so happened that Deng Die's mother was the close personal of Queen Mother Dou.To put it bluntly, he was a pimp.So, Liu Chang met Queen Mother Dou through Deng Die's pimp mother. When Empress Dowager Dou saw Liu Chang, she burst into flames like lightning and thunder.From then on, Empress Dowager Dou took Liu Chang secretly to Luoyang North Gate (Upper East Gate), just like fish cannot live without water, and started an underground love affair.

If there were entertainment magazines in the Han Dynasty, Liu Chang and Queen Dowager Dou would definitely be the headlines on the front page, attracting attention.However, for elder brother Dou Xian, he didn't feel any sense of entertainment in his heart.On the contrary, he was very jealous and terrified, even terrified to the core.What Dou Xian is jealous of is not that Liu Chang has become the patent product of Empress Dowager Dou.Instead, he was afraid that something would be snatched by Liu Chang. This thing is the power in his hands. This is by no means unfounded worry or sensationalism.Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Qin Kingdom knows how Qin Wang Yingzheng's mother, Zhao Ji, cultivated male favorites.At that time, Lu Buwei was afraid that Zhao Ji would entangle him and affect his official career, so he made a bad move and recommended to Zhao Ji the number one penis man in the world, Lai Ai.As a result, Zhao Ji was very useful, and she gave birth to two sons with others, and kicked Lu Buwei away, so Lai Ai became a celebrity in Xianyang City, extremely arrogant.

Women are emotional creatures by nature.Once you grab her heart, there is nothing she can't give you.Lessons learned from the past, we must be vigilant and take precautions before they happen. That being the case, it is necessary to strike first.Dou Xian did what he said, and soon, he sent a killer.On a dark and stormy night, sneak to the upper east gate and kill Liu Chang. The knife was stabbed cleanly without leaving any traces, Dou Xian was very proud.Dou Xian seems to be very proud.On the east gate of Queen Mother Dou's territory, and under the protection of the imperial guards, he killed Liu Chang, who was eating soft food, without anyone noticing.

Is this really the case?Could it be that someone in the Han Dynasty really practiced the unrivaled magic skills of lingering on waves, flying over eaves and walls, picking leaves to kill people, and killing people invisible? In fact, what Dou Xian did was to make Empress Dowager Dou unaware.Because except for Queen Mother Dou, everyone in Luoyang knew that the one who killed Liu Chang was not some master of the rivers and lakes, but the servant Dou Xian.The terrible killer is hidden beside Queen Mother Dou. However, none of the relevant departments in charge of the case dared to say anything.Because at this time, Dou Xian had already sent someone to say hello.Empress Dowager Dou can't be offended, and Dou Xian can't be offended even more.Therefore, the case-handling department in a dilemma had no choice but to come up with a ruthless strategy—putting blame on Dou Xian and finding a scapegoat for him.

In fact, there is no need to look for it, Dou Xian has already found it for them.This person is Liu Chang's younger brother Lihou Liu Gang.The reason why he became the best stand-in for Dou Xian is mainly because he has been at odds with Liu Chang for a long time.In this way, under the guidance of Dou Xian, the relevant departments listed Liu Gang as a key suspect and asked Empress Dowager Dou to approve his arrest. At this time, Empress Dowager Dou was basically mad.My dear lover died in my villa, it was ridiculously shameful, and there was nowhere to put my old face.So, without thinking too much about it, she approved the report.

However, anger can lower a person's IQ.Empress Dowager Dou didn't realize it, so she didn't even see a common-sense error in the report. Anyone who has watched detective films knows that in some murder cases, in order to excuse the crime, the cunning killer often creates some evidence that he is not at the scene.To prove that he was not there, it is only necessary to prove that he appeared on another occasion at the same time. The relevant departments said that Liu Gang was the murderer, but everyone in Luoyang knew that when Liu Chang was killed, Liu Gang was in Qi State thousands of miles away.Liu Gang didn't have wings, so he wouldn't fly into the upper east gate to kill Liu Chang, and then fly back to Qi's hometown, right? The above truths are known to everyone, but only Empress Dowager Dou does not know.No one dared to pierce the window paper at her place. But paper can't contain fire, and snow can't bury a dead person.Dou Xian is really not stupid. He believes that the case must be closed before Queen Mother Dou knows the inside story.Immediately afterwards, he ordered Shi Yushi to dispatch quickly to form a joint court with Qingzhou Prefecture (now northern Shandong Province) to try Liu Gang, and prepared to quickly settle the case and kill people. Dou Xian thought that he must have done this without anyone noticing.However, before he had time to be proud, someone was sneering behind his back, ready to expose his old background. The person who decided to break the face with Dou Xian was called Han Leng, styled Boshi, from Wuyang, Yingchuan.For those who are not afraid of death, most of them have reasons for not being afraid of death, either they are really not afraid of death, or they are covered by someone behind them, or they are full of food.Han Leng is very special. It's not that he is not afraid of death, nor is he hungry, but he just wants to stand up and speak personally. The reason why Han Leng wants to speak human words is because he has always acted as a positive image in front of the public.He was young and lonely, known as a filial friend.When he became an official in his prime, he was loyal and upright, and was very popular with Liu Zhuang, so he was transferred from the county to work in the central government.Later, when Liu Da became the emperor, he admired him even more, and once gave him the sword of Shangshu. Please note that it is the Shangshu sword, not the upper sword.At that time, there were only three honorees, with Han Leng as the leader.It can be seen that, as the veteran and important minister of the two dynasties, it is very necessary for Han Leng to stand up and speak this man's words. Han Leng wrote a letter to Queen Mother Dou, saying: "The murderer is in Luoyang City. Queen Mother Dou, you actually sent people to Qi State thousands of miles away to arrest people. Isn't this a trick of the traitor?" When Empress Dowager Dou saw it, she was taken aback for a moment, then became angry.She summoned Han Leng and scolded sharply: "You have the right not to keep silent, but please don't talk nonsense." Han Leng held his head high and said proudly: "Whether I talk nonsense is not up to you. Anyway, I will stick to my opinion, and you can say whatever you want." Han Leng made Empress Dowager Dou very breathless, but she couldn't argue.In this case, we can only wait and see the result.However, Queen Mother Dou did not expect that when she was anxiously waiting for the result of the trial, a result beyond her imagination came. In fact, the most depressed person in the whole incident was not Queen Dou, but Dou Xian.Dou Xian never dreamed that everything was under his control, but at the critical moment, someone messed up his good business.This person is not Han Leng, but another Luoyang master. To be more precise, it was not one person who disrupted Dou Xian's plan, but a group of people.Horrible bunch of people.
