Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 10 A Shocking Word

now.

Han Shuo was kneeling on the ground. When he heard the sudden humiliating voice, he immediately raised his head. After seeing Liu Jing's face, he was surprised at first, and then he climbed up with an angry face.

"Grandson Jing? Why didn't I see you when I came here yesterday?"

According to Daohou Han.

Liu Jing looked at the other person's face, but the other person's information emerged in his mind.

Great-grandson of Han Xin!

Of course, it is not the Han Xin who said "Han Xin recruits soldiers, the more the better", but the Han Wangxin who followed Emperor Gaozu back then, also called Han Xin.

Before this, when Liu Che was young, he had a favorite minister, Han Yan, the senior official, who was his elder brother.

However, as early as when Queen Mother Wang was still alive, Han Yan was hated by the Queen Mother, and she also found out that he had an affair with a palace maid, so she forced him to "commit suicide out of fear of punishment."

Perhaps it was because Emperor Liu Che favored Han Yan, and his younger brother Han Shuo also became a close minister of the emperor. This time, he followed Jiang Chong to investigate witchcraft.

In fact, logically speaking, Han Shuo should be on the side of Prince Wei.

When he was only a lieutenant, he followed Wei Qing to fight against the Xiongnu and was awarded the title of Marquis of Longyi for his meritorious service. However, he was later stripped of his title of Marquis for committing a crime, but then he made meritorious service again and was awarded the title of Marquis of Andao.

Speaking of the four-member team that is currently investigating witchcraft, each of them has a distinguished background and is also a person that Emperor Liu Che trusts extremely.

Therefore, he had absolutely no respect for this long-lost prince, or for anyone in the prince's palace.

However, after hearing his question, Liu Jing did not answer.

Instead, he looked at the group of figures outside the door.

The censor Zhang Gan, the eunuch Su Wen, and the Hengshui commander Jiang Chong dressed as a birdman.

Are all of you here?

"Grandson Jing, answer me." At this moment, seeing that Liu Jing did not answer and seemed to not take him seriously, Han Shuo, who had just fallen, suddenly became angry and embarrassed.

"Oh? May I ask what is the identity of Lord Han? Was he recently crowned king by his grandfather? Do I, the grandson of the emperor, need to reply?" Liu Jing was not polite at all. He was waiting here just to stack up his luck points. He was just waiting to be scolded by me. It couldn't even be considered a "hard fight".

Sure enough, after Liu Jing said this, he found that the lucky coin in his mind had only changed slightly, and he lost interest for a moment.

However, we should hold the attitude that even a small mosquito is still meat.

Liu Jing asked again: "When was Han Hou made king by your grandfather?"

As descendants of the royal family, no matter how weak they are, they still have status.

Only a "king" of a higher level can use the word "reply".

Since Emperor Gaozu took power, the first thing he did was to eliminate all the so-called kings of different surnames.

From then on, Emperor Gaozu established a rule: no one other than the Liu family could be crowned king!
Recently, although the four people are investigating the witchcraft case, they are both "colleagues" and implicitly competitors.

Therefore.

Just asking.

Han Shuo, who had just been angry and embarrassed, turned pale. He was only a marquis and did not dare to overstep the line.

Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and looked at the people behind him. Noticing the strange expressions on their faces, he immediately thought to himself that he had been too stupid just now.

He immediately changed the subject and took the initiative to say, "Grandson Jing, yesterday we found a Paulownia doll hidden in the Crown Prince's palace. Recently, His Majesty has suffered from headaches and chills, and his dragon body has been ill. I suspect that he was harmed by this kind of witchcraft."

He is openly threatening you, and is just short of telling you that a disaster is about to happen.

However, after seeing that Liu Jing's expression did not change at all.

He said coldly, "We didn't finish the investigation yesterday. We will investigate again today. It is in compliance with the order of His Majesty. Please do not obstruct us."

As he spoke, the team behind him quickly walked in.

"Who said I wanted to obstruct it? My father specially asked me to come and greet you."

As he spoke, Liu Jing also stepped back.

Ok?
Jiang Chong and others who had just walked in were immediately confused by the scene in front of them.

However, they just glanced at the young grandson of the emperor in front of them and did not take it seriously. They just suspected Liu Ju.

"Is it possible..."

At this moment, fear and suspicion flashed across Jiang Chong's face.

When they came yesterday, everyone in the Prince's Palace was extremely angry and almost resorted to violence.

You know, if they resort to war at this time, even if they have the emperor's order, they will be in real trouble if Liu Ju really turns against them.

However, Liu Ju was indeed the "cowardly" prince rumored by the outside world. He was so angry that he let them plunder the prince's mansion. But it was normal to think about it. Who in the world dared to disobey the order?
But today, it's so abnormal.

This grandson of Emperor Jing was young and energetic. Faced with the provocation from An Daohou Han, he easily resolved the situation with just a casual question, and he showed no fear at all about the search they mentioned.

It was as if... he had already made up his mind and was not afraid at all.

What can make him not afraid?
Could it be... that rumor is true?

When this question came up, Jiang Chong couldn't hold back any longer, "Search for me!"

He waved his hand, and actually he didn't need to do anything, because the Censor Zhang Gan, the Yellow Gate Su Wen and others had already rushed in with their men at the first moment.

The Prince's Palace is very large, and a thorough search would require a lot of manpower and time.

After Jiang Chong sent everyone out, he was arrogant and led them straight through the corridor, the central courtyard, and then went straight to the inner house.

Along the way, the maids in the Prince's Palace, the guests, and the family guards were all angry but dared not speak out.

Finally, Jiang Chong came to the inner house.

Liu Ju had been waiting for a long time. He sat under the pavilion, with his family members sitting behind him and guests and guards around him.

There was no conversation between the two. Liu Ju's face was gloomy, but Jiang Chong ignored it. After all, he had the same expression yesterday.

"Go search!"

The surroundings had already been searched, but this time the requirements were more detailed. Liu Jing had also seen how thoroughly Jiang Chong and his gang dug.

They really dug three feet deep into the ground, even the floor was lifted up.

However, after searching for half a day, I still found nothing.

Even after Su Wen, Zhang Gan and others sent people to exchange information, they did not find anything.

Jiang Chong touched the feather crown on his head and fumbled with the feathers with his fingers.

Suddenly...

He narrowed his eyes and immediately looked in the direction where Liu Ju was sitting!
That's it??!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chong suddenly spoke,
"Your Highness, may I ask why you sent people to arrest those alchemists last night?"

Liu Ju looked at him coldly and said nothing, but looked at Liu Jing.

Ok?
Jiang Chong was extremely surprised when he realized this.

You know, in terms of status in the Prince's Palace, apart from the Crown Prince, the second highest is the eldest son Liu Jin.

As for the grandson of Emperor Jing, he had rarely heard of him before.

If Liu Ju didn't want to answer his questions, he should have sent Liu Jin instead of this grandson of Emperor Jing.

Liu Jing had already greeted everyone, so he spoke first.

"The sorcerers and barbarian witches are harming people with witchcraft and are now causing unrest in the capital. Father is in charge of the capital and has the power to punish them. Why not arrest them and keep the capital peaceful?"

Ah!
Young boy, Jiang Chong sighed inwardly, he is the ancestor of playing with words, relying on this trick, he has fooled the current Emperor of Han into not knowing what to do.

In his eyes, there were countless loopholes in what this boy said, and he only needed one sentence to make him terrified!

"How do you know that witchcraft can harm people? So, someone in the Crown Prince's Palace once sought out a Taoist priest to use this witchcraft to curse others? Even cursed Your Majesty!"

"Now that they are arresting us, are you destroying the evidence?"

He emphasized the last few words and directly covered it with a big hat.

If it were someone else, they would have been completely at a loss after being accused of this.

Liu Jing, however, remained calm regardless of fame or disgrace.

In fact, what he said the next moment was not only a big blow to Jiang Chong.

Even Liu Ju, Liu Jin and others were so frightened that they were sweating profusely.

"Is the captain deaf? I just said that the sorcerers and wizards used witchcraft to harm people!"

"You treacherous officials have killed people, expanded the matter without reason, framed loyal officials, and used this as an excuse to exclude dissidents, and even framed the crown prince."

"It's not witchcraft that harms people, but people who harm people!"

He spoke faster, and the last sentence was even more direct and angry:

"This is all because my grandfather is old and confused... and believed your slander!"
