"Who the hell are those people?!"

Tang Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, questioned sharply. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

During this period, Uncle Yuanling Hou also questioned angrily, but Xuguan's face was full of horror and he remained silent.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng ordered the cane to be tortured.

This time, Yu Guan did not beg for mercy from Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu again, and was set up by several officials with a dead face and beaten with a cane in court.

"Slap, slap, slap—"

After beating ten canes in a row, Tang Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked: "Drunk, do you want to recruit or not?" ”

Sweaty, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng said angrily: "Fight again!" ”

After beating forty sticks, the buttocks that had been beaten were already faintly oozing red blood, and at this time, he was also lying on the hall, with less air in and more air out.

Seeing his appearance, Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu's eyes flashed with a burst of unbearability, and he opened his mouth to save Xuguan from punishment, but when he thought that this servant of the mansion who had grown up with him and got along with him for more than 40 years dared to collude with foreign thieves, he was secretly angry in his heart, and turned his head with a slight redness in his eyes, not looking at the tragic situation of Xuguan.

On the side, King Su Zhao Hongrun watched all this coldly.

I have to say that although he had a very bad impression of Uncle Yuanling Hou, the reddish appearance of Uncle Yuanling Hou at this moment also made Zhao Hongrun feel a feeling: Even if he is such an aristocratic scum of a common man, he also has true feelings in his heart.

In fact, after getting along for more than 40 years, the relationship between Uncle Hou Yu, the Marquis of Yuanling, and his family order is no longer an ordinary master and servant, but may have risen to a friend, sibling relationship.

The loyal servant who had been with him for more than forty years betrayed him, and Zhao Hongrun couldn't imagine what it would be like to feel.

It's like him and his guards.

If one day some of his sect guards betrayed him, wouldn't he be as lost as Uncle Yuanling Hou at this moment?

Of course, this is just his miserable speculation, and it is impossible for Zong Wei to betray his allegiance.

But in any case, Zhao Hongrun's mood is inevitably a little heavy at this moment.

So, before Tang Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was about to order the cane to be beaten, Zhao Hongrun interjected: "Don't fight, if you fight again, you will be killed." …… Let's go to jail first. ”

Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, spoke, and the three courtiers Chu Shuli, Tang Zheng, and Xu Rong dared not obey.

So, after Tang Zheng glanced at Chu Shuli, he said, "Lord Chu, this person will be imprisoned in my ...... for the time being."

He originally wanted to say, 'Imprisoned in my Criminal Department', but considering that the backstage of his Criminal Department is Yongwang Hongyu, and at present, all indications show that Yongwang Hongyu and Su Wang Zhao Hongrun have the same attitude towards Qingwang Hongxin, so in order to avoid suspicion, Tang Zheng changed his words again: "Imprisoned in Dali Temple." ”

Hearing this, Chu Shuli, the head of the Great Liang Mansion, nodded his head in approval.

After all, his Daliang Mansion is the official office that mainly focuses on the people's livelihood, public security, anti-theft and other functions in Daliang City, although the official rank is quite high, and it is called the government, but in the final analysis, this is only because the king of Wei is located in Daliang, otherwise, the Daliang Mansion is not much different from the local county order in nature.

Comparatively speaking, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are both judicial offices facing the whole country, and their functions are much higher than those of Daliang Mansion, so it seems that it is more appropriate for the Criminal Department or Dali Temple to come forward in this matter.

After the three of them reached a tacit understanding, they turned their heads to look at Uncle Yuanling Hou, and seeing that the latter did not object, Xu Rong, the secretary of Dali Temple, spoke: "I am tired of the left and right officials, and I will escort this person to my Dali Temple prison, and after two days, the case will be retried." ”

Hearing this, the left and right officials set up a drunken body as if they had passed out in a coma, and escorted him out.

From beginning to end, Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu didn't say a word, and his face was very ugly.

He originally thought that this incident was a ghost behind the back of King Su Zhao Hongrun, but he didn't expect that it was actually done by the family order in his house in collusion with foreign thieves.

At this time, the expressions of the great domestic nobles such as Sun Mou, Marquis of Wanlong, Zhao Jian, Marquis of Gaoyang, and Jiang Dan, Marquis of Gaoyang, were also quite exciting.

It is not difficult to guess that they originally wanted to use this incident to hit Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, but they didn't expect that at present, all kinds of indications indicate that Su Wang Zhao Hongrun has nothing to do with this case.

Therefore, under the smiling gaze of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, these people pulled Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu and left as if they were fleeing.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun also said goodbye to Chu Shuli, Tang Zheng, and Xu Rong, and left the Daliang Mansion with Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping.

Outside the official office of Daliang Mansion, Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Shen, King of Chengling, and Zhao Tan, Marquis of Anping, got into the carriage of King Su's Mansion, and Zhao Hongrun said to Zhao Tan: "Unfortunately, it was said by Marquis Anping. ”

Anping Marquis Zhao Tan nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Before entering the Great Liang Mansion, I looked at Uncle Xu's face, and guessed that this matter would probably not be instructed by him, and I also verified my judgment in the hall...... In other words, there is a third party among them, who is sowing discord and fanning the flames, wanting to provoke the fight between His Royal Highness King Su and the Marquis of Yuanling. ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded when he heard this, and then, he frowned and said: "What Anping Hou said is true, but there is something that this king can't figure out, so the so-called third-party forces are sowing discord and fanning the flames in this matter, is it good for them?" …… Those people are not so naïve as to think that a marquis of Yuanling can make this king stumble, right? ”

"This ......" Zhao Tan, Marquis of Anping, and Zhao Shen, King of Chengling, glanced at each other, and there were many doubts in their eyes.

In the end, Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Tan, Marquis of Anping, and Zhao Shen, King of Chengling, decided to wait and see what the secret 'third party forces' wanted to do.

At the same time, several domestic nobles, such as Humu Hou Sun Mu, Yuanling Hou Yushu, Wanlong Hou Zhao Jian, Gaoyang Hou Jiang Dan, Pingcheng Hou Li Yang, Quliang Hou Sima Song, Kuangcheng Hou Jiyan and other domestic nobles have returned to the post house in the city from Daliang Mansion.

After returning to the post house, Uncle Yuanling Hou called the soldiers in the post house and asked him to bring wine, and then sat at the table and drank the stuffy wine one by one.

As Zhao Hongrun guessed, the old servant who had been with him for more than 40 years colluded with foreign thieves, and this incident hit Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu quite hard, so heavy that the latter couldn't think about anything else, and just wanted to get drunk.

Looking at Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu pouring wine one by one, Quliang Marquis Sima Song sighed faintly, frowned and said, "Today's events are really unexpected...... I didn't expect this to be the result. ”

Hearing this, several big nobles in the house also lamented.

The princes present in the house knew that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, did not hesitate to give up the "Pi's Order" in the "Four Orders of Hedong" to win over Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, in order to divide the camp of the big nobles in their country.

And it is undeniable that the strange King of Su succeeded, and the "stupid" King of Chengling, Zhao Shen, turned his back on these nobles and threw himself into the camp of the King of Su, and also took away people such as "Zhao Tan, Marquis of Anping", "Marquis Lu Xin of Gaoxian", "Marquis Sun Che of Lutan", "Marquis Zhao Kang of Liuguang", etc., so that the camp of the great nobles who originally had the same interests split into two strands, and turned against each other.

In this case, the next step for His Royal Highness King Su must be to encircle Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and others, and suppress Sun Mou, the marquis of Humu, the marquis of Yuanling, the marquis of Yuanling, the marquis of Zhao Jian, the marquis of Wanlong, the marquis of Gaoyang, Jiang Dan, the marquis of Pingcheng, the marquis of Pingcheng, the marquis of Quliang, Sima Song, the marquis of Kuangcheng, and others.

Because of this, when there was an accident in the family of Uncle Yuanling Marquis, the princes in the house felt that this might be an opportunity to turn the situation around, so they jointly sued the Su King, but unexpectedly, there are all kinds of signs that the Su King has nothing to do with this matter.

This is the trouble - not only did they fail to cause trouble for the Su King, but they also took the initiative to put a handle in the hands of the other party.

framing the prince is a serious crime, even if they are only taking advantage of the situation and not being the mastermind, they will not escape the reputation of a "faint" who "does not defend loyalty and treachery".

What's even worse is that this time there is no way to delay the Su King, and the Su King will inevitably sacrifice the butcher's knife and attack them.

Thinking of this, the princes in the house were worried.

During this period, Jiang Dan, Marquis of Gaoyang, said hesitantly: "Gentlemen, if we go to the Su Wangfu to take the blame at this time, can we escape?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yang, Marquis of Pingcheng, frowned and said: "Zhao Run, the king of Su, has already received the support of Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and others. …… He always wants to win over a group of people and suppress a group of people, and at present, we have become the first target of his preparation. …… In my opinion, even if we are soft and pandering, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid it won't change much. ”

"I don't believe him, Zhao Run dares to kill them all." Gaoyang Hou Jiang Dan said: "If we are guilty of Jing and he still rejects us, who else will defect to him in the future?" ”

Hearing this, Quliang Marquis Sima Song said nonchalantly: "The problem is not here, the problem is ...... If we are soft this time, then in the future, only Zhao Run will be the first to look forward, and when the time comes, Zhao Run will ask to take back those ...... in our name Hmm, the land acquired at a low price will be returned to the imperial court, will you Gaoyang Marquis give it or not? If he still wants the imperial court to take back the mines under your name, will Gao Yang Hou give it or not? ”

"......" Jiang Dan, the Marquis of Gaoyang, was speechless, and asked after half a sound: "Then what should I do?" What is Qu Lianghou's idea? ”

Hearing this, Quliang Marquis Sima Song glanced around at the princes in the house, and said calmly: "For today's plan, we have to resist this way out. …… Fortunately, there are not many princes who defected to Zhao Run, the king of Su, only Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and Lu Xin, the marquis of Gaoxian (Xiao, the Marquis of Lutan, Sun Che and the marquis of Liuguang, Zhao Kang, these five people, like "Zhao Zhuo, King of Jiyang", "Zhao Huo, King of Zhongyang", "Liu Mao, Marquis of Weichuan", "Wang Xi, Marquis of Liyuan", and "Zhao Anding, Marquis of Shangliang", are still waiting and watching, and have not been persuaded by Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling...... Ladies and gentlemen, King Su Zhao Run supports the little nobles, not us, only when King Qing is in power, you and I can have a good life. ”

The princes in the room nodded when they heard this.

During this period, Gaoyang Hou Jiang Dan asked: "So, does Quliang Hou have any specific plans?" ”

Hearing this, Quliang Marquis Sima Song pondered for a moment and said: "Today's matter, we have fallen into passivity, if we want to reverse the victory or defeat, it is better to ......" As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said something.

Hearing these words, I could only hear the faces of the princes in the house change suddenly, and even Uncle Yuanling Hou, who was drinking sullenly on the side, his lips moved slightly.

But in the end, Uncle Yuanling Hou Yu didn't say a word.

It turned out that the plan of Sima Song, Marquis of Quliang, was to try to get rid of the family order of the Marquis of Yuanling, frame King Su, and create public opinion to completely muddy the waters.

Two days later, the Marquis of Yuanling's family order was broken and died in the prison of Dali Temple.
