The morning light fell again, and for Li Xia, he was one step closer to returning to Shu.
It's not that he doesn't like Lin'an, it's that Lin'an doesn't belong to him at all.
Nian'er carried a pile of clothes and put them into a wooden box, placing them carefully. He turned around and saw Li Xia coming back from morning exercise, and quickly ran up to wipe his sweat.
"My husband is always like this. He won't put on his clothes immediately when he is sweating, just in case he gets sick."
"You are in good health and will not get sick."
After a little fuss, Nian'er pointed to the box and said, "The girl's clothes have been put away. The husband must take the girl with him."
"Okay, it's all agreed."
Nian'er then felt at ease and looked at Li Xia's sweaty body with her beautiful eyes. After thinking about it, she pulled his hand and whispered: "Then tonight... let the girl accompany the husband, okay?"
good?"
It seems like she really wants to share good things with her girls.
"She said that?"
"That's not true."
"Then give her time to think clearly."
"Well, but, you are so strong, so young..."
"What?"
"Don't make trouble. It's already daylight. Nian'er has to pack his luggage, so husband goes to work. By the way, can you ask me again, what color cloth do your wife and Qiao'er like? The girl said she wants someone to cut it again.
A few horses."
"White, Qiaoer likes blue..."
There was such a relaxing atmosphere early in the morning.
Li Xia walked through the courtyard and saw boxes being moved away and sent to Shibo's ship.
Things went very well.
Walking to the front hall, across the flower garden, you can hear Liu Jinsuo bragging to others.
"Haha, hurry back to Hanzhong. My Liu Niang hasn't given birth yet. She will have another baby next year..."
Afterwards, a boy came over.
"Commander, that Judge Wen is here again. This is a greeting."
"I told you, I won't see him."
"But the other party said that there is something very important that needs to be discussed with the commander-in-chief, which affects whether the commander-in-chief can continue to control Shu."
The smile in Li Xia's eyes gradually disappeared, and he took the greeting note with a somewhat solemn look.
"I'll meet him in the side hall."
"yes."
Li Xia asked again: "Do you have any good tea at home?"
"The commander-in-chief doesn't usually drink tea."
"Go and buy a few taels nearby. I want good tea."
…
Wen Yunsun was sitting in the side hall.
He was wearing a blue official uniform, because the official was still very young, even younger than Li Xia.
But this kind of thing depends on the official career, not the current situation.
Wen Yunsun was the number one scholar, and after being admitted to the imperial examination, he kept filial piety for three years. It was equivalent to just joining the officialdom, but he was already a judge in the capital.
This step is equivalent to Jiang Chun's journey of ten years since he became an official, not to mention an official like Fang Yankai.
Li Xia was a martial artist. Because the first two or three years were the time of the Mongolian invasion, he was promoted very quickly due to his meritorious service. But this achievement can be said to be a rare opportunity in decades.
It is conceivable that there will be no large-scale invasion by the Mongolian army in the next few years, let alone the head of the Mongolian Khan for Li Xia to perform meritorious service.
If it had been a peaceful and prosperous age, or if the number one scholar had taken over the world, Li Xia would still be spinning around in the position in front of him.
At this time, they greeted each other. Wen Yunsun did not appear humble because of his official uniform, and looked at Li Xia with a very calm look.
Both of them are still young and both have an attitude of neither being humble nor being arrogant.
Li Xia sat down and said, "I've heard about the number one scholar for a long time..."
Wen Yun Sun listened for a while, but didn't hear the second half of the sentence.
He felt that Li Xia was a little strange.
"I have also heard about the name of Marshal Li Jie for a long time. In recent years, every time there is news about the war in the southwest, especially the battle of Yutai and Hanzhong, it really makes people happy. For example, Du Gongbu's poems, the whole volume of poems and books are filled with joy."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Li Xia thought for a moment and asked, "How about you and I don't use our official names?"
He held the teacup, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Song Rui."
"That's fine." Wen Yunsun was not pretentious, nor was he embarrassed by Li Xia's authority. He said calmly: "I came today to carry out detailed assassination of Feiyu for Mongolia. I have been here many times before."
"It's not a big deal. The assassination can only be done on a small road. Brother Song Rui doesn't need to pay attention to it."
Hearing that Yunsun didn't speak immediately, after the boy served him tea and then left, he picked up the tea cup and calmly held the tea lid aside until the boy walked away.
"I found out that the person who assassinated Feiyu was not a Mongolian expert."
"Yeah?"
"The poison of heartbroken grass is not easily available, not to mention that after tempering, a small bottle like this can be worth hundreds of dollars. I visited various drug stores in Lin'an and finally found out that the person who bought the poison was a man close to Chengxin Lang Quanyongjian.
A staff member."
"Brother Song Rui, do you have evidence?"
"There are four witnesses and half a bottle of poison."
Li Xia was holding the teacup and thought a little boredly, "People say you should bring a cup to see off guests. I have already brought tea so many times, but this scholar still refuses to leave."
Wen Yunsun said again: "The assassin left two corpses, both with Mongolian messages on them. I followed this clue and went to Sanya to inquire. Previously, Feiyu sacrificed prisoners, and the Mongolian messages confiscated by Sanya were missing.
How many..."
"Who did Brother Song Rui find following this clue?"
"King of honor."
The two people who spoke looked at each other.
Li Xia sighed invisibly, and suddenly understood Zhao Yun's state of mind.
Why do we need to check things in this world so clearly? It would be better if nothing happens in the world.
Don’t you really understand what I want?
Can't you let me live in peace?
…
Wen Yunsun looked more solemn and said slowly: "The evidence is conclusive. Prince Rong assassinated an important court official and should be severely punished. He should be deprived of his posthumous title and reduced his title in order to correct the king's law. What does Feiyu think?"
"What if Brother Song Rui's evidence is framed by someone with intentions? The dead man is the most important, so I don't think there is any need to pursue it any further."
"I have been an official for one term, and illegal things have happened under my leadership. How can I let it go? If this continues, where will the national law be?"
Li Xia didn't want to argue, but couldn't argue, so he nodded.
Wen Yunsun asked again: "I also found out that when King Rong She was involved in the death of the Li family, Sun Guan of Wei drowned one of his own. Does Feiyu think this should be repaid with justice?"
"Everything requires evidence."
"Then how about I ask for a thorough investigation?"
"Brother Song Rui, aren't you afraid that someone will take advantage of you?"
"Afraid." Wen Yun Sun said: "That's why I came to see Feiyu first today."
Li Xia knew that the man in front of him was serious but not brainy.
I'm afraid that I can't bully him.
Sure enough, Wen Yunsun said again: "There is another thing. I think King Rong did not die of illness, but died of an assassination..."
Li Xia stopped talking and remained silent for a long time.
In the hall, Wen Yunsun was still talking, his words were clear and coherent, and every sentence pointed into Li Xia's heart.
"On the night King Rong was assassinated, the mansion was heavily guarded and no one else entered. Except for King Zhong and his guards, there were twenty-four people in his entourage. After entering King Rong's mansion, twenty-two people took a rest in the front yard, and two people followed King Zhong.
Go to the lobby.
During the process, King Zhong went to the clean room in the backyard. After he came out, no one saw the two attendants again. There were only two walls separating the clean room in the backyard from the Yaopu Pond, and there was a bamboo forest in the middle. There were no guards."
Li Xia said: "Brother Song Rui means that these two followers assassinated King Rong? This is too shocking."
Wen Yun Sun said: "Wouldn't it be even more horrifying if ghosts kill people?"
"It turns out that Brother Song Rui also heard this rumor. As officials, we should not make or spread rumors."
"This is an investigation, and the investigation only asks for the truth, no matter how unbelievable it is, it only asks for the truth."
Li Xia asked: "I wonder who told Brother Song Rui this?"
"I went to Prince Rong's Mansion to express my condolences and asked about the servants and guards..."
"Don't you think it's too easy to find out? It is said that even the Imperial City Department failed to find out."
"Yes, the investigation is a bit easy." Wen Yunsun asked: "But do Feiyu think this is the truth?"
"Is there any evidence?"
"Just ask King Zhong and his guards." Wen Yun Sun said: "I heard that King Zhong gave Feiyu the elixir?"
"Brother Song Rui, are you doubting me?"
Wen Yunsun didn't hide it and said seriously: "Yes, please Feiyu can help me clear up my doubts."
Li Xia picked up the tea cup again and said slowly: "Let's not talk about whether these speculations are correct or not. Brother Song Rui doesn't feel that he is being used as a knife in the party struggle?"
"Afraid of party strife and being taken advantage of, why don't we just stop doing things?"
After Wen Yunsun asked a question, his tone softened and he said: "Before I came here today, I also hesitated. The war in the southwest is urgent, and I really don't want to involve the general. However, the state has national laws, whether it is for public or private reasons.
Well, covering up is bad for the country's laws and bad for the country. What does Feiyu think?"
"That makes sense." Li Xia asked, "What does Brother Song Rui want to do?"
"Thorough investigation." Wen Yun Sun said: "If Feiyu did this, please let Feiyu do it, and His Majesty will deal with it impartially. Not only will you be punished, but King Rong will also be punished."
"What if I don't admit it?"
"Feiyu seems to be posing a threat to his own dignity. It is not appropriate to leave Lin'an until this matter is found out. It would be better to ask your Majesty to temporarily select a general to go to Sichuan for dispatch."
Wen Yunsun said, and slowly said another sentence.
"It's useless even if Feiyu kills me. I've delivered the memorial to the palace. Today, I just ask you to tell the truth."
Li Xia was silent.
He knew that he could not deceive Wen Yunsun, nor could he persuade Wen Yunsun.
This is not a question of whether Wen Yunsun is being used, the other party knows it very well.
The problem is that Li Xia did it.
Their most fundamental thoughts are opposite.
The other side wanted to protect the Song Dynasty.
And he, Li Xia, wanted to overthrow the Song Dynasty.
He is indeed a traitor and traitor.
It was impossible for him to tell Wen Yunsun, "Rebel with me", he couldn't be persuaded.
From this point on, Li Xia was not only an enemy of Wen Yunsun, but also an enemy of Jia Sidao, Wu Qian, Cheng Yuanfeng, Ye Mengding, and even Shi Jun, Zhang Jue, Yi Shiying, Wang Jian, Lu Xiufu...
Everyone is Li Xia's enemy, whether they are treacherous ministers, loyal ministers, powerful ministers or capable ministers.
There are only a few people who support him.
Scholars all wanted to protect the Song Dynasty, so Li Xia could only use prisoners, rebels, and prostitutes to prepare documents for him...
