Chapter 7 Three, find the murderer

The news of Yuan Ang's assassination blew to Chang'an with the speed of the wind.When Liu Qi heard this, he was dumbfounded.However, before he recovered his senses, another bloody case came: the dozen or so councilors who had told stories and reasoned to Queen Mother Dou with Yuan An were all killed. Suddenly, Liu Qi suddenly understood: If this poisonous hand was not done by King Liang, it would be struck by lightning. Liu Qizhen is not stupid, this case was conspired by Liu Wu and his subordinates.The problem is, before the mastermind of the murder case emerges, he can't just bite anyone he sees.At the beginning, when Guan Gao assassinated Liu Bang, Liu Bang insisted that it was Zhang Ao who instigated it.As a result, Zhang Ao was wronged.

Of course Liu Qi didn't want to be the second Liu Bang, nor did he want Liu Wu to be the second Zhang Ao.Besides, Zhang Ao is nothing in Liu Bang's eyes.Liu Wu is different. The brotherhood is all written on the belly of Queen Mother Dou. Therefore, to capture the thief first, to use this trick to deal with Liu Wu is simply nonsense.The only possible way is: follow the vine. Well, that's it.First catch Liang Wang's young horses, and then we can find out why. Therefore, Liu Qi immediately sent someone to handle the case.Sure enough, they found a piece of evidence from Yuan An's dead body: the stabbing sword.

The assassin only cared about killing people, but did not remove the murder weapon.Therefore, this sword became a breakthrough in solving the case. After investigation, it was a new sword that assassinated Yuan An.Then, check out the craftsmen who made swords in Chang'an City.A craftsman recognized the sword and gave an important clue: someone from Liang Guolang had come to sharpen the sword. The target locked Liang Guo in an instant! ! This matter is of great importance, and a reliable person must be found to punish it.Soon, Liu Qi scanned the list of officials in the Han Dynasty, and finally locked on a strange name: Uncle Tian.

Uncle Tian, ​​Zhao Ren, is good at swordsmanship, honest and upright, and likes to be a hero.In the early years, he traveled all over the world and broke through the gates of the princes.Later, fortunately, Prime Minister Zhao Wu introduced him and got a job in Zhao Wang Zhang Ao's place: doctor.Later, Zhao Wu and Guan Gao wanted to assassinate Liu Bang, and Uncle Tian actively participated, but the incident was revealed and he brought the crime into the court. Later, when the truth of the assassination came to light, Liu Bang summoned Uncle Tian and had a conversation, thinking that he was quite talented.So he made an exception and appointed him as the prefect of Hanzhong.However, good horses also stumble.Uncle Tian has worked in Hanzhong County for more than ten years. For some reason, he lost his official position and stayed idle at home.

Judging from the above, although Uncle Tian is a new face, he is a veteran of playing politics.The reason why Liu Qi chose this inconspicuous person was nothing more than to avoid the important and take the light, and strike later.It's you, Comrade Tian Shu, please go on the road. However, after receiving the mission, Uncle Tian didn't even show any joy in coming out of the mountain again, and he didn't even pat his chest and say big words like fulfilling the mission.Of course, he didn't shake his head and say pessimistic and disappointed words.Anyway, let's go.You still have to listen to what the leaders say, and you still have to give the emperor face.

Don't think that Uncle Tian is pretending to be cool, but in fact he is not cool at all.Think about it, Uncle Tian knew Liu Qi's attitude towards Yuan An, it was up and down, unpredictable; Empress Dowager Dou's feelings for Liu Wu were known to all the people on the earth, mother and son are good friends It's almost tied together.As for Liu Qi's attitude towards Liu Wu, it's like the moon in the sky, the moon is hazy and the birds are hazy.It seems that his heart is hazy, and he has no foundation. With a heart of ignorance, to investigate a case that has no foundation, the only way to do it is this: do what you want, but no one can be offended.

Uncle Tian is not Zhidu, he only recognizes the emperor, not the prince.Uncle Tian can only recognize not only the emperor, queen mother Dou, but also the king of Liang.There is only one person he does not recognize, and that is himself.There is only one principle he can abide by, and that is no principle. So, when Uncle Tian arrived in Liang, he found the person he should be looking for; he held the meeting that should be held.Of course, he hadn't completely slackened his work, and the instigator behind the murder was still found, two people: Yang Sheng and Gongsun Gui. So, where is the murderer, I don't know!

Do you know where they are hiding?have no idea! Then, Uncle Tian sent someone back to Chang'an City to report the truth. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi became more serious, and he sent another envoy to urge Uncle Tian and the relevant departments of the Liang State: Intensify efforts and continue to investigate! However, after the second group of people came, they sent back a message shortly after, but still no one was caught.Back and forth, a total of more than ten batches of envoys came, and the result was still the same. At this time, Liu Qi got angry.There are only two people, Liang Guo is so big, but he can't catch anyone?Even if Gongsun escapes from the ground, you have to dig three feet to dig him out; even if the sheep is better than the moon, you have to catch him for me.

Therefore, Liu Qi issued another ruthless edict: Listen carefully.If no one can be caught, the officials of Liang State with two thousand shi and below should all be mentally prepared. What kind of mental preparation should I do?Still don't know. Liu Qi didn't say it clearly.The emperor was in a hurry, but Uncle Tian was not in a hurry anyway, but all the high-ranking officials of the Liang Kingdom were worried about the head on their heads.Therefore, the senior officials of Liang State decided to go all out to find out the two masterminds. On the side of Liang Guo, one of the main persons in charge of this case is the internal historian Han Anguo.

Han Anguo, born in Liang Guocheng'an (now Cheng'an County, Hebei Province).He is proficient in Han Feizi's legalist and miscellaneous theories. He lobbied the princes in his early years and served Liang Xiaowang as a Chinese doctor.When Liu Bi's Wu-Chu allied forces attacked Liangcheng, Han Anguo took the lead, and his strategy changed, and he made great contributions to the end of Liang Guozhi.From then on, he rose to fame and was favored by King Liang. Han Anguo is an expert when he raises his head to fight; he is an even more expert when he bows his head to be an official.In order to deal with Liu Qi's accountability, he first launched a carpet search in Liang Guo, but the results were empty.Search again, still empty.

It can be said that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart.At this time, Han Anguo finally realized a truth: Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng can't grow wings, they can't fly to the sky.Of course, they will not be so stupid as to flee to other countries. If they want to go to Sanya, Hainan, they should wait another thousand years. So where are the two masterminds hiding?Oh, the most dangerous place is the safest place.These two people must be hiding in Liang Guo. Where the Kingdom of Liang is located, there is only one place that has not been found, the Palace of King Liang. But Gongsun Gui and Yang Shengzhen hid in Liang Wang's mansion, indicating that they were protected by Liang Wang.The reason why King Liang took refuge was because he was the real mastermind.This time, things are even more difficult. What follow the clues, this time, but touched the bomb. The thing is dead, the head is alive.Han Anguo believed that the task assigned by the emperor was to capture Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng.As for whether King Liang intervened in this matter, it's none of Han Anguo's business?The smaller the target, the easier the problem will be. Ever since, Han Anguo immediately thought of a good way to get the king of Liang to hand him over. Yes, that's it. First of all, Han Anguo asked to see Liang Wang Liu Wu.Without suspense, Liu Wu received him.Secondly, as soon as Han Anguo saw Liu Wu, he immediately knelt down and knocked his head to the ground, crying and shouting: "My lord, I have not completed the task His Majesty entrusted to us. Please kill me quickly!" Liu Wu looked at Han Anguo calmly, and said: If you can't find it, keep searching. Is it worth your death? Han Anguo was full of tears, and continued: "The death of the minister is minor, but because of this, the king should be killed thousands of times, and it is not enough to make up for the crime." Liu Wu: Involve me?is it so serious? Han Anguo: Your Majesty sits upright in the palace, so he really doesn't hear anything outside the palace.May I ask, which one is closer to His Majesty, Your Majesty, or Linjiang King Liu Rong? Liu Wu: Of course it is the King of Linjiang. Han Anguo: That's right.The king of Linjiang was recalled to Chang'an for questioning just because of the remaining soil outside the Taizong Temple wall, and was finally executed in the lieutenant's mansion.Now that there is a murderer in Liang Guo, it is reasonable to blame the king first.And the reason why the king is fine is that Empress Dowager Dou cried and pleaded for mercy in the palace.If Your Majesty does not wake up, will you still be able to sit in the Liang Kingdom after Queen Dowager Dou a hundred years? Han Anguo's words, two words, the truth.One more word, the truth. It is both a big truth and a big cruel word.When Liu Wu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then stupid. Before Han Anguo finished speaking, his tears flowed out. The tears of King Liang were tears of fear.Death is a ruler, no matter high or low, rich or poor, anyone who comes before it will have the same result.Perhaps, death is still a trivial matter to Liu Wu.The problem is, in his opinion, brothers turn against each other and kill him, even if he goes to hell, how can he face the Queen Mother Dou? Now, Liu Wu finally realized the seriousness of the problem.Not only serious, but serious, brutal.Of course, cruel politics does not believe in tears.As a matter of urgency, a solution must be found. With tears still streaming down his face, Liu Wu looked at Han Anguo helplessly.At this time, Han Anguo comforted Liu Wu and said: Don't be afraid, my lord, as the so-called law of the world, one thing lowers one thing, one trick solves one trick.As long as we unite and find Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng, the king will be fine! Liu Wu asked: Does this trick work? Han Anguo: Absolutely works! Liu Wu: Who said that? Han Anguo: I said so! Liu Wu: All right.In this case, let's find Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng together. As soon as Liu Wu said this, a stone fell in Han Anguo's heart.To be precise, Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng didn't want to find them, but Liu Wu handed them over.Because, these two masterminds must be hiding in the Liang Mansion. Thinking of this, Han Anguo couldn't help but patted the head on his neck, and sighed secretly: Now, it should be no problem to keep it from falling to the ground!
