Chapter 95 Dream or Reality
The blood-stained story was narrated by Shen Qingling, as if it happened in front of Xue Yu, which made him feel lingering fear.

Obviously a dream.

When the eyes of the two met, Xue Yu's hand on his lap shook, and he already had some guesses.

"Ren Zhizhou told me that Liu Xiuwen's elder brother, Liu Xiuwu, is in the Seventh Prince's staff, Ayu, I would like to ask you to help me, I want to see him." Shen Qingling let out a long breath with pleading eyes.

It was the specious words Liu Xiuwu said on the street that inspired Ran Chongwen, the young supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor, to lead him to lead the wooden man engraved with the emperor's birthday to the technique of witchcraft.

Only by meeting Liu Xiuwu, Shen Qingling can further confirm whether the case of witchcraft was done by Li Zhang, a little bastard.

Xue Yu didn't speak.

It's not that he doesn't trust Shen Qingling, it's just that when the prince is involved, he must act cautiously.Because he is not alone, behind him is the Xue family, there are countless old and weak women and children.

"Liu Xiuwu is the key to the witchcraft case, Ayu, even though I have nothing to do with that dream now, I still don't want to see that dream come true." Shen Qingling persuaded in a low voice: "When the emperor was angry, he buried hundreds of corpses." Ten thousand. The officials are getting older, and as time goes by, when things break out in the future, the officials' reactions will only become more intense."

It was a monstrous anger that Shen Qingling would tremble just thinking about it now.

When they were talking in the private room, Shao Cong had already turned back.Originally, he followed Shen Qingling's orders and followed his elder brother to arrest all the members of the Du family and sent them to the government office. As a result, when they sent them to the government office, a group of uniformly dressed guards rushed out and took all the members of the Du family away. gone.

dong dong dong.

Shao Cong knocked on the door.

Seeing that Xue Yu was still deep in thought, Shen Qingling didn't urge him, got up and went to open the door, and asked, "Where have everyone gone in?"

"No, a group of people appeared suddenly and took them away." Shao Cong shook his head and replied, "Brother asked me to come back and ask you if you need to be robbed and come back. He has already followed."

Xue Yu raised his head, but still didn't speak.

He knew, and Shen Qingling also knew, that it was Li Zhang's people who robbed people.

Otherwise, who else has the ability to rob people in the Yangzhou government office?Li Zhang is the favored prince, even if Ren Bingyi is a direct minister, it is impossible to confront him head-on.

"Ayu." Shen Qingling looked back at Xue Yu, "When you pulled me into this game, did you ever think about the current situation?"

Xue Yu, who was sitting on the seat, was like a long-haired dog that accidentally fell into the water, with wet eyes, wronged and pitiful.He never thought of bringing Shen Qingling into such a dangerous situation, so now he regrets it.

However, Shen Qingling was unmoved, and continued: "I don't know if you have thought about it, at least I have thought about it myself. I know that the Khitan people can take root in the Central Plains, and it is not just their own credit. There is never a lack of lackeys and greedy people in the land."

During those years in the northern border, Shen Qingling asked Li Yu more than once.

Why are the Khitans so hard to fight?

Why do they grow like weeds every time when the spring breeze blows?
Li Yu didn't speak, it was the military advisor Hu Huo who spoke.

He danced the goose-feather fan, twitched his two mustaches, and said with a sinister smile: "Concubine Shou, it's not that Khitan is hard to fight, nor is it that Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are hard to recover, it's because people's hearts are hard to calm down. The imperial court allocates 6000 people every year. Tens of thousands of taels of silver are given to the northern border to drive captives. If the Khitan is really wiped out, will the status of the Northern Liang Palace remain the same? Do you still need military supplies? Do you still need urgent checkpoints along the way? Put it in your pocket again?"

At that time, Li Yu just reprimanded Hu Huo with a word of caution.

In fact, what Hu Huo didn’t finish is——

Khitan was really wiped out, Yanyun sixteen prefectures were really taken back, so who is the next one to be allocated 6000 million taels of silver?It is impossible for the counselors and staff in the Northern Liang Palace not to think about this issue. They are afraid that all the birds will be hidden, even if it is only a slight possibility.

So after the great victory in the Northern Territory, shortly after Li Yu returned to Chang'an, a case of witchcraft broke out in the palace.

Even if the officials really trust their son, there are many people who can't sit still.

Now that Li Zhang made the move ahead of time, perhaps because he knew of the conspiracy between the Du family and Li Youyu, he intended to release water and sell Li Youyu a favor, or maybe he just wanted to add trouble to the crown prince and trouble Li Yu.

But no matter what it is, once the Du family really slipped out, Li Youyu and the King of Beiliang who got the news would definitely rebel.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Shen Qingling smiled wryly, and said: "I could have stayed out of the matter, but I came in. Ayu, I didn't do it to be kind to you or Ren Zhizhou, I don't have that qualification. I just can't bear to see thousands of Tens of thousands of people died because I watched from the sidelines."

Shao Cong was in a daze, and didn't fully understand the meaning of Shen Qingling's words, but although he was infected by Shen Qingling's tone and momentum, his hand holding the sword unconsciously tightened a lot.

"I'll be with you." Xue Yu dusted off his robe and got up.

In fact, it is not difficult to trace where Li Zhang took the person.Because this guy didn't intend to hide it at all, and led people across the long street openly, holding the dragon flag of Bianjing.

"Li Zhang is pretending to be a tiger." Xue Yu watched the guards stop in front of a secluded courtyard with cold eyes, "He thinks that he is patrolling Yangzhou on behalf of the emperor, so whatever he does is justified."

Shen Qingling squatted beside him, shrugged and joked: "But he is indeed patrolling Yangzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Now that Li Yu is gone, he is the only angel. Your name is not easy to use."

Perhaps even Xue Yu himself didn't notice that he was completely used to Shen Qingling's lack of respect in front of him.As for Shen Qingling, she also didn't realize how comfortable she was with Xue Yu.

"I was only out of Bianjing to investigate the case of the granary." Xue Yu sighed, and turned to look at Shen Qingling, "No matter what the second lady said, I dragged you in this muddy water, and I should treat you Say sorry."

"You think too much." Shen Qingling stretched out her hand and patted Xue Yu's shoulder, with a movement of her body, she rolled into the other side of the alley lightly.

The little lady with bright eyes and good looks stood under the wall, raised her head and smiled at Xue Yu, grinning, and said, "I, Shen Qingling, have always wanted something for myself, and no one has forced me to do it. Ayu doesn't have to carry this burden. Now Li Zhang should be waiting for you and me to come to the door in that other courtyard, why don't we fulfill him and go in and make a fuss."

The plain hands and soft catkins are lifted slightly.

Even after many years, Xue Yu still couldn't forget that on the wall in the winter of the third year of Yuande, he had seen the most beautiful scenery in his life, and he also took a completely different path from before.
