"Die!"

With a loud shout, the cold light suddenly rose, and the blood light collapsed!

Immediately afterwards, the dead body fell to the ground, and a good head flew out a foot away and fell to the ground.

Zhao Shiwen himself died in a daze, and the others were even more confused. Yes, Cui Geng was kind to Xu Yuanqing and gave him five taels of gold, but this kind of favor is not worth killing to repay, right? You must know that Zhao Shiwen is a member of the third rank of the imperial court, and his assassination is a shocking case that goes straight to the front of the emperor, and Cui Geng will definitely not be able to protect him.

The ......audience was silent and silent.

After a long time, Yi Zheng Suo Yong woke up like a dream and shouted, "Ah, I killed someone!" ”

He turned abruptly and ran away.

Huang Youwei was eager to try and said, "My lord? To chase or not to chase? ”

"Chase an egg!" Cui Geng said angrily: "This matter has nothing to do with us, is it possible that I still have to kill people and kill people, and no one here can be three hundred taels?"

This sentence of "killing people and destroying mouths" reminded Zhao Shiwen's entourage Zhao Zhong, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, he knelt on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and said: "My lord's grace, my lord's grace, my lord's grace, I haven't seen anything, I haven't heard anything!"

Cui Geng couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up." When the government asks you, you can say whatever you have. ”

Zhao Zhong glanced at Xu Yuanqing with palpitations, and said in his heart, how dare I. If my family disagrees with you, he will be slaughtered by the dead soldiers you arranged, and my little slave has no power and power, how can I withstand your means?

He hurriedly swore an oath, and said: "Don't worry, the adults know the rules, say what they should say, and don't say what they shouldn't." I saw Xu Yuanqing kill Lord Zhao, and I didn't know anything else. But if I say one more word, it will... I went out and was killed by lightning! ”

Su Wei asked, "Then if the government asks you, why did Lord Zhao meet with the old man and Master Cui today?"

"Uh...... Lord Zhao and the two adults are officials in the same dynasty, since they met, wouldn't it be a loss of courtesy if they didn't come to visit? It's just so normal. ”

Seeing him like this, Old Man Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he and Cui Geng arranged Wu Zetian's affairs, and they could still cover it up well.

Cui Geng ordered Zhao Zhong to be guarded as a witness before he had time to interrogate Xu Yuanqing.

At this time, Xu Yuanqing's temperament is completely different from before.

Although he knelt on the ground, he held his head high and comforted: "The two adults should relax, the younger one will do the work alone, and will never implicate the two." Other than that...... Take back the five taels of gold, Master Cui too, anyway, I won't need it in my life. ”

"It's not ......" Cui Geng frowned and said, "This official is asking you, why did you kill Zhao Shiwen?" You don't want to repay the so-called kindness of the official, right? "

"Of course not, it has nothing to do with Master Cui at all."

Xu Yuanqing said proudly: "The villain is for revenge!" Twenty years ago, when Zhao Shiwen was the lieutenant of Xiafeng County, he killed his father Xu Shuang. Over the years, in order to avenge his father, the villain did not know the taste of food, could not sleep, and tried his best. In the end, the villain infiltrated Zhang Zhuangyi as a buddy and waited for the opportunity to assassinate. ”

Su Wei praised: "Good way, Zhao Shiwen is in a high position, and there are many guards around him. With your identity and martial arts, it is almost impossible to get close to him. It can be said that this Zhang Zhuang Yi is the only chance. Well...... Twenty years of hard work, and finally avenging his father, it is really a rare filial son. The old man wanted to write a poem to show his filial piety. "

Xu Yuanqing's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Thank you, boss!"

Su Wei twisted his silver hair, waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks, this is the old man's business."

"Uh...... Old man Su, did you get the point wrong? Cui Geng interrupted: "No matter what Xu Yuanqing's original intention is, this time it can be regarded as a great help to us, that is, it is not far-fetched to be a life-saving benefactor." Shouldn't we have found a way to save his life? ”

There is another sentence that Cui Geng didn't say, the post is already running, and there will be rumors of today's events sooner or later. If Xu Yuanqing is finally punished, it will not be good for the reputation of the two, even if it is not ungrateful, it will be regarded as a death and not a rescue.

Clinker, Su Wei shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Xu Yuanqing can't die at all."

"Why?" Xu Yuanqing and Cui Geng asked in unison.

Su Wei read casually: "Zixia asked Confucius: What is the enmity of parents? The master said: Sleep on the pillow and dry, do not work, and share the world, and when encountering the city and dynasty, do not fight against the army. Said: May I ask what is the enmity between my father and brother? Said: Shifu and the Republic of China, the king's order is made, although he does not fight. Said: May I ask what is the enmity of Ju Kundi? Said: Not for the leader, the master can lead the army and accompany him. ”

After a pause, he said: "Erlang learns to be rich and has five cars, so you don't need to talk too much to the old man, explain what it means, right?"

Although Cui Geng understands, Xu Yuanqing doesn't understand. He scratched his head and said, "Master Cui, what does Master Su mean?" Don't I deserve to die if I killed such a big official? ”

Cui Geng explained: "What this means is that the father's enmity is not shared with the sky, and it can be avenged at any time; The enmity of brothers is not shared with the court, but it cannot be abolished for private reasons; If you have a cousin's enmity, you don't have to avenge it yourself, just wave your flag and shout to help your cousin's family. Xu Yuanqing, you avenge your father, but act according to the teachings of the sage, if the court punishes your sin, doesn't that mean that the sage is wrong? ”

Xu Yuanqing said happily: "Sage Kong said that I did the right thing, so I don't need to die?"

"This ......"

Cui Geng instinctively felt that this matter was not so simple, and suddenly his heart moved, and he remembered a public case. The protagonists of that incident, aren't they Xu Yuanqing and Zhao Shiwen? It's just that these two people are small people in history, and they didn't remember it for a while.

He muttered: "Anyway, assassinating an important minister of the court with a commoner not only obstructs the laws of the court, but also commits the following crimes, the situation is bad, and it is really hard to say how the court will deal with it."

Su Wei was poured cold water by Cui Geng, and he was not as blindly optimistic as before, and muttered: "If the old man is the prime minister, not only can he ensure that Xu Yuanqing will not die, but also let him be commended by the imperial court." But now...... The two of us are not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict, and we can't even defend Xu Yuanqing. In addition, this case is obviously related to you and me, if you add two more to make an obstruction...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

Seeing this, Xu Yuanqing said nonchalantly: "If the two adults are really embarrassed, forget it, anyway, I killed the official today to take revenge, and I don't want to live at all."

"It's not that serious." Cui Geng thought for a while, looked at Su Wei, and said, "Please ask Old Man Su to write a statement for Xu Yuanqing with a wonderful pen." As for me...... and repair a letter to the Shangguan Sheren. ”

Su Wei sighed and hesitated: "Of course, it is best to let Shangguan Sheren help say a few words." However, this case is up to heaven, Erlang, how sure are you? ”

Cui Geng smiled slightly, and said confidently: "If you want to help Xu Yuanqing get rid of the crime, this official is not half sure." However, do you want to talk about the certainty of helping Xu Yuanqing avoid death...... Very! ”

……

……

Suo Yong quickly whipped his horse and galloped all the way, and finally entered Luoyang City when the sun had just risen.

Count him lucky, Wu Zetian has a few important pieces this year, and he has to discuss with several important ministers. After the two Zhang received the report, they were summoned immediately.

Zhao Shiwen went out of Luoyang and found Cui Geng troublesome news, of course Erzhang knew, but he didn't report any hope.

After hearing the news brought by Suo Yong, he was really overjoyed, and hurriedly summoned his henchmen Zheng Su and Song Zhiwen to come to the secret discussion.

Zheng Yu's eyes lit up, and he said: "The third-grade master died because of this, and Cui Geng can't eat and walk around."

Song Zhiwen couldn't get used to seeing Zheng Su being favored, and questioned: "But the problem is ...... Three people confirmed it, and two people testified to it. Now we only have one witness, Suo Yong, and it is not so easy to prove Cui Erlang's crime. ”

"Who said that Cui Erlang should be convicted in court?" Zheng Su glanced around, and said proudly: "Don't we have two newspapers in our hands now, "Luoyang Times" and "Da Zhou Royal Daily"? There is no need to board Cui Geng's discussion of His Majesty, as long as you directly board the events of the day. Zhao Shiwen is our person for sure, who can say that Cui Erlang can escape suspicion? ”

Zhang Yizhi frowned slightly and said, "What's the use of that?"

"Why didn't it work? Zhang Shaoqing, please think about it, a guy who uses dead soldiers to get rid of political enemies at every turn, who in the court does not avoid it? In addition, this matter is becoming more and more noisy in public opinion, and His Majesty will inevitably give an explanation, and it is not known when the case will be thoroughly investigated. ”

Zhang Yizhi said happily: "Good way! When the time comes, the official will ask Mr. Zheng to investigate the case thoroughly, and let Cui Erlang take off his skin if he doesn't die! "

Zheng Su took the opportunity to say: "But Xia Guan is just a Chengjun supervisor, and the trial is not right." ”

Zhang Changzong said: "It's okay! Anyway! As long as things are as you expected, this official will ask you to be the right Su Zhengtai Yu Shi Zhongcheng. ”

Although Zhongcheng in the imperial history is still a fourth-rank official, he is a high and powerful official, far from being compared with the important official of the Qing Dynasty. What's more important is that it is not uncommon to be promoted from the Imperial Historical Observatory to the prime minister!

Zheng Su was so happy that he couldn't find it, so he immediately knelt on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and said, "Thank you Zhang Changshi, thank you Zhang Changshi." Don't worry, you can't go wrong with this! ”

Although Zheng Su planned well, however, the truth was far from what he expected.

Three days later.

Syllable!

Zhang Changzong slapped an official document viciously on Zheng Su's face, spit out two words viciously, and said, "Does it hurt?"

Zheng Su was beaten inexplicably, knelt on the ground, and said weakly: "It hurts!" How... What's wrong? "

"Your face hurts, my official's face hurts more than you! Look at this official document, Zhao Shiwen's death was done by Xu Yuanqing to avenge his father, and it has nothing to do with Cui Erlang! Who doesn't know that these two newspapers are in charge of our brothers, and this time the official's face has been lost by you! ”

Bang dang~~

Zhang Yizhi was especially unrelieved of his hatred, and directly kicked Zheng Su to the ground, and said: "Originally, Cui Geng had a very good reputation in Luoyang, and the people would be suspicious of the statements of the two newspapers. It's good now, it is equivalent to, before the people of Luoyang, it was confirmed that our brothers were lying, and our brothers' faces were lost by you, I will kill you! ”

"Don't fight, don't fight!" Taking advantage of this gap, Zheng Yu had already read the official document in detail, and shouted: "To deal with Cui Erlang, there is still a way for the lower officials!"
