Chapter 2068: A cowardly young man betrays his relatives and friends
But Liu Mai looked like he was possessed by an evil spirit. He stared at the money that was still spinning in the bowl and kept saying: "Literally, literally, literally!"
The door was pushed open heavily, and Hu Fan strode in. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a "ding" sound, and the copper coin finally fell down. It was impartial and it was a shady side.
Liu Mai's whole body softened and he leaned on the foot of the bed, motionless. Hu Fan frowned and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree. Hu Fan, the prefect of Jingling, should quickly follow the people who come to meet the emperor. There must be no mistakes."
.”
As he spoke, he drew his sword, and the light of the sword flashed, which suddenly brought Liu Mai out of his dazed state. He saw purple-black blood stains on the sword body, exuding a pungent smell, and his ears
Hu Fan's stern voice came from the side: "Your Majesty has an order and must not make mistakes. If you violate the order, you will show it with this sword!"
Liu Mai suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing like garlic: "I am guilty, I am guilty, I am going to commit a major treason case, General Hu, please bring me to face the saint!"
Hu Fanzhen's eyes widened, he picked up Liu Mai who was lying on the ground, pulled his collar, and said loudly: "Liu Mai, Liu Taishou, please wake up, this is not a dream. What is the secret of the major treason case you mentioned?"
Who is it?"
Liu Mai's body was shaking like chaff in a sieve: "I want to report, the person I want to take the lead is Liu Yu, Liu Yi and his gang of rebels, they, they want to murder Your Majesty!"
A quarter of an hour later, outside the Huanchu ancestral temple, Huan Xuan's eyes widened, he looked at Liu Mai, and said loudly: "What you said is the truth? Liu Yi really sent people to find you, asking you to rebel? Is it really Liu Yu?
The envoy?"
Liu Mai cried sadly and kept nodding his head: "It's true, it's absolutely true. How dare Wei Chen talk nonsense about this kind of thing. It was Liu Yi who sent people here an hour ago to force Wei Chen to go with him, and why?
Said, and also said that he has made up his mind and will definitely plot rebellion. As his brother, I will be implicated even if I pretend to know nothing. If I help him plot rebellion, I will be a minister of the Dragon after success. If so, if not
If you follow me, I will ask you to leave Jiankang City overnight and go as far as possible."
Hu Fan said in a deep voice on the side: "Your Majesty, when General Mo went to invite Prefect Liu to come, he was in the house, and he kept using copper coins to predict his fate. He was in a trance. It should be true."
Liu Mai hurriedly kowtowed to the ground: "I am guilty, and I deserve to die. I have made divination more than ten times, and it is still the same result. This is, this is the destiny entrusted to your majesty, and I dare not go against the destiny."
"
Huan Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "You said that Liu Yu, Liu Yi, and Zhuge Changmin all want to rebel against me, right? Then who are the Beifu Army comrades in Jiankang City?"
Liu Mai gritted his teeth, his heart pounding, and said: "When Xi Le came to Jiankang a while ago, he often interacted with the Suwei generals Wang Yuande and Wang Zhongde brothers, as well as the guerrilla generals Xin Huxing and Hengye general Tong Houzhi who guarded the palace.
It's very secret, he once had a banquet with these people in Wei Chen's home, so I know it."
Huan Xuan sneered and said: "So, they often discuss this conspiracy in your house?"
Liu Mai quickly said loudly: "No, really not. If they were discussing the rebellion at the minister's house, how could they have come up with it? How could they have sent someone to inform the minister in the middle of the night? I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it was Lachen who had already fallen into the trap.
Ah, Your Majesty has learned clearly, Your Majesty has learned clearly!"
Huan Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Governor Liu, you have done meritorious service in reporting, and I have clear rewards and punishments. Now, I will appoint you as Marquis of Chong'an, and you will still return to the Ministry of Punishment as the Chief of Thief Cao, responsible for hearing this major treason case.
Remember, I fully trust you and will not implicate your brothers and family members in the conspiracy. I hope you will not be disappointed."
Liu Mai suddenly fell to his knees and said: "Your Majesty's great kindness is unparalleled. The guilty minister will never be repaid by death. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Huan Xuan waved his hand, and several sergeants helped Liu Mai aside. Bian Fanzhi sneered: "This dog-like thing will betray his own brothers in order to survive. This person must not be kept."
Huan Xuan shook his head and said: "Now there is a big conspiracy and rebellion gang that wants to attack me. It is not a trivial matter. Let Liu Mai come to interrogate them first, and we will talk about other things later. How should we handle the current plan?"
Bian Fanzhi pondered for a moment and said: "In Jiankang City, Wang Yuande brothers, Xin Huxing, and Tong Houzhi are old generals of Beifu. They have always been on good terms with Liu Yu and Liu Yi. Regardless of whether they are really rebelling, they are now
To capture them quickly, if they get together and form a conspiracy to die, then just sit back and watch. On the contrary, at least Liu Yu's internal spies in the city can be eliminated. All he needs to do is find someone to replace his military position and disperse his subordinates.
Can."
Huan Xuan turned to the two generals Wu Fuzhi and Huangfu Fu who were standing aside and said: "Wu Fuzhi, the prefect of Dunqiu, and Huangfu Fu, the right guard general, with you two, speed up the troops and horses of the headquarters, divide them into two groups, and surround Wang Yuande respectively.
Brother's home, as well as the camp where Xin Huxing and Tong Houzhi are located, bring these four generals to see me. Those who engage in war will be pardoned, and those who fight will not be spared. Try to survive."
Wu Fuzhi and Huangfu accepted the promise and left. Huan Xuan looked at Yin Zhongwen who was standing aside and said: "Liyang, Jingkou and Guangling, please send a letter immediately to inform Diao Kui, Huan Xiu and Huan Hong.
Put down everything at hand and go to the camp to gather troops. If Liu Yu, Liu Yi, and Zhuge Changmin dare to come, capture them on the spot and send them to Jiankang to confront Liu Mai and others. If they dare not come, just order
We will send troops to capture them, do you understand?"
Yin Zhongwen said quickly: "I would like to share your worries for Your Majesty." After saying this, he turned to leave.
A voice came coldly from behind Huan Xuan: "Your Majesty may have forgotten two important events."
Huan Xuan's expression changed. He turned around and saw Tao Yuanming, dressed in official clothes, standing respectfully among the officials on one side. Although he was standing respectfully, the divine light in his eyes was twinkling.
Huan Xuan frowned and said, "What is Tao Shenjun's advice?"
Bian Fanzhi on the side whispered: "I have been keeping a close eye on this person, and he will stay with me tonight. This matter should have nothing to do with him. Let's listen to what he has to say."
Huan Xuan nodded, looked at Tao Yuanming who walked out of the crowd and stood in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You can speak now, Tao Canjun."
Tao Yuanming said seriously: "Although Your Majesty has Liu Mai's unexpected gain, a key person has been missed in this matter, and that is the messenger who came to contact Liu Mai. Since this person was directly sent by Liu Yi, he should
He is an extremely key figure. He also said that Liu Mai should take out the token, summon his men in the city, and obey the command of the leader in the city. He also asked your majesty to find Liu Mai and ask him clearly in person. As long as the messenger is captured, he will know who is in the city.
What accomplices are there?"
Huan Xuan slapped his thigh suddenly, and all the fat on his body shook: "Yes, come on, bring Liu Mai here, I have something to ask him!"
