Chapter 458 The informer

Since Qi'er married Liu Yu, Wu Shuo has been alone in the empty bedroom. During this period, Liu Yu was not in Chang'an City and was on high alert, and she had no chance to contact Qi'er, the only good sister. Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, and she had no chance. She couldn't even go out of the palace gate in Chang'an City. Until today, Wu Shuo got news from his great-grandfather, the old talisman Wu You. Knowing that Qi'er became the queen and moved to the palace, she immediately ran to play with Qi'er.

When Liu Yu came back, Qier immediately threw her stutter behind her. Wu Shuo was naturally unhappy and stared at Liu Yu with a bitter and revengeful look. He said it was not smooth, and all the vicious words were expressed with his eyes.

"Yeah, stutter. A rare guest, come and sit together for a meal before leaving." Liu Yu looked at Wu Shuo with a smile. At this time, Han Sheng also came in from the door to salute Qi'er.

"No, no, no, no...I, I, I will do it again tomorrow...hum!"

After Wu Shuo said that, he spread his legs and ran to the entrance of the inner court to the Wu You Observatory. Liu Yu looked at his back hidden in the dark and smiled slightly, while Han Sheng on the side also cast inquiring eyes.

"The national teacher, Old Man Wu's great-granddaughter, is a small stuttering," Liu Yu explained.

Han Sheng nodded and said, "I have heard of it for a long time. A girl in the palace is rare. She still wanders around in the affairs after three dynasties..."

After hearing this, Liu Yuben didn't think much, but afterwards, he slowly thought about it. Han Sheng had something to say. At this time, the palace maids had already prepared dinner because Xu Xuanzhu went to the barracks of the women's army outside the city and would not come back after the martial law was lifted the next day. In addition to Liu Yu and Qier, those who had dinner at the same table at this meal were only Han Sheng and two granddaughters Han Xiaoyi and Han Xiaoting.

Although the meal was rich and there were fish and meat, there were only five or six dishes. There was no wine or cup slices. The three little girls were all from the girls' houses and there was nothing to say at the dinner table. The most important thing was that the Han sisters were a little wary of Qi'er. Now that Qi'er ascended the throne as the queen, they were even more reluctant to chat with Qi'er. Only Liu Yu and Han Sheng were left at the dinner table.

Han Sheng talked about Wu Shuo. Liu Yu asked with this question: "Brother Han, what do you think of the national teacher as a human being?"

Han Sheng held the rice bowl and stopped with his chopsticks, thought for a while and said, "This person is not simple."

This evaluation is not pertinent enough, and Liu Yu could roughly guess that Han Sheng said before that Wu Shuo could wander in the palace in the three dynasties without involving the matter. In fact, he was talking about Wu You. From the old emperor, to Su Yan, and now to Qier, Wu You was originally a figure at the forefront of the storm, but he could still have a stable position in the palace during this period when the emperor changed frequently, which showed that he was tactful and worldly in politics.

But to put it bluntly, Wu You was just getting closer to him, Liu Yu.

The two of them no longer mentioned Wu You at the dinner table, but after this meal, Qier and the Han sisters went back to their rooms, and the two talked about Wu You again. Han Sheng suddenly asked, "Brother Liu, there are rumors in the palace that Wu You came to see you on the fifth night of the lunar month. Is there such a thing?"

Liu Yuxin said that it was not a very confidential thing for Wu You to come to see him, so why did Han Sheng seem solemn? He just mentioned it at the dinner table, but he had to wait afterwards?

"It's true." Liu Yu said bluntly.

"That means that the establishment of the new emperor also includes his opinion?"

Liu Yu finally understood why Han Sheng had to pretend to be mysterious when he said this. He was afraid that Qi'er would know something. Although Qi'er is still a girl emperor now, with the assistance of Liu Yu, Xu Xuanzhu and others, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not become a queen in the future.

"He did remind me not to take over the Su family's foundation, but some things cannot be changed by saying a word or two."

Han Sheng sighed: "That's good, I hope you are not a temporary lie."

Liu Yu smiled faintly. Until now, Han Sheng still doesn't believe that he doesn't care about the Su family's foundation. After all, the emperor's position is right in front of him, and he even gave in to others with his fingers. No one has been so generous since ancient times.

While the two were talking, Cai Yingnu, the female guard commander at the door, came to report that it was Qu Zhu, the president of the Imperial Army, who asked for a meeting.

In this coup, Qu Zhu also had a "hard work and great contribution". If there was no instigation of Qu Zhu in advance, Liu Yu's own safety would be a problem, not to mention a military coup. In the credit book, Liu Yu was also preparing to record a large amount of credit for Qu Zhu so that he could continue to serve the court. Liu Yu even prepared to reward Qu Zhu's sister Qu Shu. The caravan and horse gang will soon turn from a gangster organization into a legal community organization, and use this to promote the development of private rural and commercial organizations.

Liu Yu said "please" and welcomed Han Sheng out with him. From a distance, he saw Qu Zhu and a few guards escorting someone to see Liu Yu. Liu Yu looked carefully at the vulgar young man in front of him with a hunched body and pretending to be a villain. He neither recognized nor could he guess the intention.

"General Liu..."

Qu Zhu stepped forward to see the greeting, Liu Yu waved his hand and pointed to the person escorted by the Imperial Guard.

Qu Zhu leaned forward and said, "This person said he was here to report someone in the court to conspire to rebel. He said it was certain. The last thing he had to do was ask General Liu, you to decide."

It is of great importance, Han Sheng said: "I will avoid this matter for the time being. Brother Liu, I will talk about it tomorrow."

Liu Yu glanced at Han Sheng and thought to himself that it was really time for the person who came to inform him. Liu Yu had not heard of anyone in the city, but if it was true, Liu Yu did not intend to make a big move, which would destroy his plan for a smooth transition.

"Brother Han doesn't have to leave, so why not stay and listen to what he says."

When it comes to informing and treason, this is not a matter that civil officials should take charge. Whoever is responsible must report to the emperor. Now that Liu Yu is supporting the country on behalf of the emperor, Liu Yu can decide. Han Sheng understood this truth, and he also knew that most of the informers now are villains who come to seek credit and reward, and they may not take what they say seriously, and it is not appropriate for him to stay and listen at this time.

Liu Yu insisted on letting Han Sheng stay, which not only showed a kind of trust in Han Sheng, but also hoped that Han Sheng could participate in his opinion and give a rational judgment.

Liu Yu asked Qu Zhu to take the man to a side hall around Yingcui Hall, lit the lights and became a little dim. Liu Yu stood at the door and looked at the whistleblower kneeling on the ground and asked, "What are you talking about now?"

The man raised his head and smiled, smiling like a treacherous little man, and said, "The villain still wants to have an interview with you alone."

"Just say that, there is no need to have an interview alone." Liu Yu said, "If you talk nonsense, you will not say it anymore, but you will do it!"

"The villain said, the villain said," the man kowtowed twice on the ground and said, "The villain is named Tong Liu. In fact, the villain is originally a guest in the Lan Xiang Mansion. Two days ago, I saw a few people coming to visit my master in the mansion and stayed in the mansion for some time. These people are..."

Tong Liu reported several people, all of whom were well-known in the court, but they were basically Yuan Bolang's old party. Now that Yuan Bolang is dead, these people are all right to find Lan and Ben.

"You know all these people?" Liu Yu asked frowned.

"The clerks in the prime minister's house always need to know a few more people. The villain is also famous for having a good memory, so my master ordered him to be a clerk."

"What did you hear them say?"

"No, my master is very cautious. He invited them into the side hall to discuss, and also told the people in the mansion not to get close..."

"Then you didn't hear anything, and you dare to falsely accuse the important officials of the court?"

"I dare not slander the ministers in the court even though I had no idea of ​​plagiarism. Although the villain did not hear my master discussing with those people, when I cleaned up the house afterwards, I found an unburned letter in the brazier. After reading it, I felt that it was of great importance, so I came to report to you..."

The letter Tong Liu mentioned was already in Qu Zhu's hands. Qu Zhu passed it to Liu Yu. Liu Yu took it and looked at it. When he saw the font, he felt a little heavy. Because the font was not unfamiliar with it, it was the notes of King Su Zhe of Chu. Liu Yu had seen it when he was taking food with King Chu. Although only half of the letter was burned, it mentioned the decree and the comeback.

Tong Liu thought his master was going to rebel and Fusu Yan ascend the throne again, while Liu Yu understood that this was basically evidence of the relationship between the King of Chu and Lan He. But there was also a possibility, that was, frame-up and accusation, and the King of Chu was a party to frame Lan He and some ministers of the old faction. The matter was easy to understand. Since this letter was of great importance, Lan He was about to burn it after reading it, why did only half of it burn and just happened to be discovered by a person who was interested in informing him?

No matter what, the existence of the King of Chu party is unquestionable, and this matter must have something to do with them. Liu Yu had to be careful.

After reading the letter, Liu Yu smiled slightly on his face, looked at Tong Liu and asked, "Tong Liu, your report is very important. I think I should reward you. What reward do you want?"

Tong Liuyi looked very happy and said, "The villain doesn't ask for anything else, just want to marry the maid from our mansion as his wife. My eldest grandmother said she would give her to my eldest young master as a concubine. The villain... The villain really can't stand it. The eldest young master is not very good and often bullies people..."

Liu Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. This is still a love affair. Although he didn't know who the "big grandma" Tong Liu said was, he knew that the "big young master" in Tong Liu was Lan Yu, the eldest son of the third generation of the Lan family, the nephew of Lan Jing, the old subordinate of Liu Yu, and the brother of Sui Yi's fiancée, and a playboy. A maid whom even the young master of the official family should be very beautiful.

"That Tong Liu, since a toad wants to eat swan meat, would you like to suffer for Miss E'er?"

Liu Yu said, "The toad wants to eat swan meat." Tong Liuyi looked depressed, but when he heard the question behind Liu Yu, he immediately nodded firmly and said, "I am willing, of course I am willing."

Liu Yu explained to Qu Zhu and asked someone to drag Tong Liu down. What Tong Liu asked for was torture and beating.

Liu Yu turned to Han Sheng on the side and asked, "Brother Han, what do you think?"

Han Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Things are a bit too coincidental."
