Chapter 049 Brother and Sister - A tender heart, a heart belongs to (3)

Yesterday, a suspicious person entered Wang Wei's mansion. Soon Gao Junya went to the meeting in a hurry. Li Shimin predicted that the three of them must have conspired to deal with the Li family. The situation is not clear now. Although Wang and Gao were unable to move, they could capture the suspicious person and interrogate them strictly.

On that day, he heard someone report that he had captured the suspicious person and was on the way to escort him. But during this period, he encountered a problem and then came back soon to ask for instructions.

Li Shimin asked the reason, and it turned out that someone claimed to be Liu Shuyi and wanted to see him.

The Liu family father and son mean a great deal to him. Since he was born in prison, he has always won over the Liu family father and son, hoping that they can get close to him and use it for him.

Later, Liu Ershuyi humiliated Wang Renba in Taiyuan County Prison, and then proposed the key figure of Pei Ji. Later, he was able to join Pei Ji, but it was Liu Shuyi who could make suggestions to succeed. From then on, he paid more attention to Liu Wenjing, Liu Shue and his son.

I immediately went to Liu's mansion to ask about the situation. I learned from the servants in the mansion that Liu Shuyi had indeed left the house early in the morning, and there was a stranger who walked with him. Liu Shuyi treated him like a guest of honor and stayed in Liu's mansion last night.

Li Shimin was basically sure that the man was Liu Shuyi, but he was confused about why he met the suspicious person. Since he was a person who knew Liu Shuyi, he ordered the visitor to treat him with courtesy and not abuse lynching, which would hurt him at all.

I originally planned to send someone who knew Liu Shuyi and bring him to ask for details. Then I thought: It seems a bit negligent to do this. Fu Ji (Changsun Wuji) has repeatedly told me to take this person for my own use.

Immediately decided to go there in person.

Li Shimin turned over and got off the horse, came to Liu Shuyi, and said, "It turns out that they are really brothers Shuyi. They didn't hurt you, they are too disrespectful. I asked him to investigate the suspicious characters. How come you found out that you were on the head? It's really hateful."

Although Liu Shuyi was disguised, Li Shimin met him many times and recognized him at a glance.

The leader was a servant under Li Shimin for many years. He had the strength to see him. He walked to Liu Shuyi and said respectfully: "The young man has no eyes and does not recognize Mount Tai. He offended the Lord. He also asked the young master to punish him."

Li Shimin suddenly arrived, and everyone under his command was shocked, but Liu Shuyi had never expected it in advance, but he had given him enough face to come to see him in person and stopped when he saw it. He could not make any progress.

He bowed to the person in charge and said, "Where are you saying, brother? You are loyal and diligent. It is because I am wrong first. What are you guilty? In my opinion, you should be rewarded."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Brother Shuyi is saying." But he was thinking in his heart: You are so smart that you actually use me to win people's hearts. Although you are angry, your face is still silent.

Liu Shuyi whispered: "Second Young Master, let's go over there and talk, don't you know if it's convenient?"

Li Shimin was always curious about his relationship with suspicious characters. He heard that he intended to explain the truth. He was immediately overjoyed and said, "Okay, I have some questions, so I need Brother Shuyi to help me answer."

The two walked side by side toward the alley until the others could no longer hear the sound.

Liu Shuyi said straight to the point: "The second young master wants to arrest Brother Zhang, but I don't know what's going on?"

Li Shimin said: "You said his surname is Zhang? I am ashamed to say that I still don't know his name, I don't know where he comes from, and I don't know who he is working for."

Liu Shuyi knew that Zhang Kai was not simple at first, but now he heard Li Shimin say this and believes in his judgment even more firmly.

Unwilling to implicate Xiao Huan in this matter, he said, "Brother Zhang's surname is Zhang Kai. I don't know where the person is. As for whom I work hard for, I have no way to know. I only met him yesterday evening. After talking a few words, I asked him to stay overnight when I saw that he had nowhere to go. But after getting along, I realized that this person is indeed not simple."

Li Shimin knew that the relationship between Liu Shuyi and Zhang Kai was not as simple as he said, but since he refused to say it, he could not force it after all, so he followed his words and asked, "How do you say this?"

Liu Shuyi said: "Brother Zhang is dressed as a Confucian scholar, but he is not like a scholar in his bones, but he looks like... he is like a leader in a war."

Li Shimin was shocked and thought to himself that you have a unique vision. All kinds of clues indicate that this person should be Zhen Zhai'er's person.

He wanted to test Liu Shuyi, and even wanted to know what plans Zhen Zhaier and Wang Wei and Gao Junya had, so he told them all in detail.

Liu Shuyi was not surprised by the fact that Zhang Kai belonged to Zhen Zhai'er. He pondered for a moment and said, "Second Young Master, in my opinion, it's better to let Brother Zhang go."

Li Shimin said: "How can that be done? If they discuss conspiracies and tricks, intending to be unfavorable to the Li family, and if I don't find out some information, how can I let him go?"

Liu Shuyi turned around and looked at Zhang Kai, and said, "In my opinion, even if you torture him, you may not be able to hear a few words from him."

As soon as he came to Taiyuan alone and contacted Wang and Gao, it was naturally extremely dangerous. Since he dared to come, he must have avenged his will to die. He was not afraid of death, let alone torture?

Secondly, this matter is very important for Zhen Zhaier. Such an important thing must be entrusted to a loyal and reliable person with extraordinary ability. Do you think Zhen Zhaier will easily betray him if he chooses thousands of people?

Third, although my time has been short when I met Brother Zhang, I can see that this person is a person who values ​​love and friendship. It is really difficult for him to betray Zhen Zhai'er.

Finally, the second young master never thought that once Zhang Kai could not go back, Zhen Zhai'er would only lose a general and not move his strength at all, so he could send someone else to come.

At that time, the two men of Gao will still secretly talk to Zhen Zhai'er and collude with each other. Maybe they will arrange more poisonous and spicy tricks, which is even more difficult to guard against."

After hearing this, Li Shimin thought it made sense. But after finally capturing Zhang Kai, it was possible that he might even grasp the evidence that Wang Wei and Gao Junya colluded with bandits, and he was always unwilling to let him go.

He said: "The Shuyi brothers have a good relationship with Zhang Kai. Can you persuade him to abandon the secret and turn to the open and join the Li family? As long as he is willing to tell the plot between Zhen Zhaier and Wang Wei and Gao Junya, report Wang and Gao, and collude with bandits, the Li family will definitely not blame him, reward him with great responsibility."

Liu Shuyi shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that you were going to have the best plan, but not everyone is a greedy person and profit-loving person. It is obviously not easy for Zhang Kai to persuade him.

He said, "I have this intention, but hasteness will not be achieved. Let us let him go back first, and give him a favor. He is a person who values ​​friendship and will return it in the future. But if we want to persuade him to submit at this time, in my opinion, it is impossible."

Second Young Master, I boldly guess whether they would betray General Pan for the sake of high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Because when General Pan died, they naturally took charge of Taiyuan, but they did not expect that Duke Tang was ordered to come in the face of danger.

Zhen Zhai'er sent someone to Taiyuan this time. Could it be that she used the same trick again and planned to join forces with Wang and Gao again? Imagine that during the fierce battle on the battlefield, Wang and Gao's troops turned against each other, and Tang Gong was attacked from both sides and the situation was in danger."

Although this was Liu Shuyi's guess and there was no real evidence. However, since he traveled through time, he has been thinking about the reasons for Pan Changwen's defeat in the past. All signs indicate that Wang and Gao secretly helped Zhen Zhai'er, they are almost inseparable.

Li Shimin only heard it and sweated coldly behind his back. He thought to himself that I had thought of Wang Wei for a long time. Gao Junya might have contacted Zhen Zhai'er secretly, but they might not have the courage to tamper with the battlefield. If Liu Shuyi's guess was true, the two of them would dare to kill General Pan back then, and today they would dare to be unfavorable to their father. It seems that no matter how big or small the wars are, they will have to be wary of them.

Li Shimin stretched out his hands, held Liu Shuyi's hand, and was grateful, saying, "Brother Shuyi is truly insightful. I will leave Zhang Kai to you. No matter how you deal with it, I will not ask each other."

When the two returned to everyone, Li Shimin said again: "Brother Shuyi, if nothing happened tonight, what if I get together in my mansion?"

Liu Shuyi was eager to send Zhang Kai away and said, "The second young master is very kind, and Shuyi is very grateful. He will come to visit him at night."

Li Shimin exchanged greetings again before leading his subordinates away.

He never looked at Zhang Kai from beginning to end, as if this person was irrelevant. But everyone under him knew that this person was an important person who Li Shimin ordered to capture. He was furious yesterday when he was not able to catch this person. As for why he suddenly looked down on him, neither questioned nor took him away, everyone was puzzled.

Zhang Kai stood there in a daze, still not knowing what had happened just now. It seemed that the second son of Mr. Tang, Li Shimin, suddenly arrived, talked to Liu Shuyi for a while, and then let him go.

At first he thought that he would definitely die when he was captured this time, but he did not expect that he would escape safely. Now he still dreamed of it.

Although he didn't know what Li Shimin and Liu Shuyi said, Liu Shuyi made great contributions to his escaping from death, which was certainly true. He has always been arrogant, but he values ​​friendship and will repay him twice as much as he receives favors.

What's more, Xiao Huan used to be so dependent on him, and he was unwilling to leave him this time, which is probably related to this person. Perhaps Liu Shuyi will become his brother-in-law soon.

He looked up at Liu Shuyi, his eyes filled with infinite gratitude, but he saw Liu Shuyi looking at him with a smile, as if he had seen through what he was thinking.

Zhang Kai initially thought that Liu Shuyi was just a brave and brave boy. Although he heard that he killed Wang Er, he still felt contemptuous in his heart. Seeing Li Er and Li Shimin treat him with courtesy and attach great importance to him, Li Shimin let him go in a few words. He was afraid that he would feel ashamed of himself and could not help but put away his contempt.

But he was not good at speaking and didn't know what words of thanks for a moment. He bowed and said, "Thank you!" Since then, there has been no further information.

Liu Shuyi was used to his taciturnity and did not care about it. He said, "Although everyone has their own ambitions and has their own masters, first of all, we should figure out whether some people are worthy of our loyalty. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live on, wise ministers choose masters to serve. I hope Brother Zhang will do his own things in the future."

Zhang Kai naturally heard what he meant, thinking that Li Shimin had found out my identity and told Liu Shuyi. Since Li Shimin knew my identity, he could probably guess that I had come to Taiyuan for the purpose. In this case, he still let me leave. Liu Shuyi must have put a lot of effort into it, and this kindness is really deep.

Thinking of his intimate relationship with Xiao Huan, he couldn't help but feel good about him. Then he thought: Liu Shuyi and Li Shimin are so close, the Liu family must have defected to the Li family, each of them, and they will eventually be mortal enemies. When the war meets each other, how can I do it?

I remembered some past events in an instant.

This time he came to Taiyuan, and was entrusted by General Zhen Zhai'er, with the purpose of joining forces with Wang Wei and Gao Junya to discuss how to deal with Li Yuan.

Although he followed Zhen Zhai'er for only two years, he fought bravely, led the way, fought south and north, and made many contributions. He even carried Zhen Zhai'er out of the dead. From then on, he was valued by Zhen Zhai'er and served as the deputy general of the army.

Originally, this trip to Taiyuan was extremely dangerous, and with his position in the army, he didn't need to take risks at all. But he disagreed with the public and said: It is crucial to contact Wang Wei and Gao Junya this time, and it is related to the rise and fall of the army. You must not be careless and insist on going there.

Zhen Zhai'er couldn't resist him, and saw that he was loyal and thought about him everywhere, so she agreed.

In fact, this is just his excuse. His real purpose in going to Taiyuan was to find his sister.

Half a year ago, he had visited the village where he had previously entrusted his sister, but it was already ruined and deserted. He inquired about it within a radius of dozens of miles, and then he learned that in order to escape, the villagers competed to flee to Taiyuan.

He came to Taiyuan and visited Wang Wei first, and brought Zhen Zhai'er's words to the original one. After leaving the mansion, he met a few people who were following, and he shuttled through and easily got rid of them. Just as he was about to leave Taiyuan, he suddenly met Liu Shuyi and others, and recognized his sister Xiaohuan at a glance.

I wanted to recognize each other immediately, but a few people stared at him, so I hid their traces and followed Liu Shuyi and others in secret. I waited until the uninhabited alley before I saw each other.

Seeing that Zhang Kai was neither speaking nor moving forward, Liu Shuyi couldn't help but say, "Could Brother Zhang still have doubts?"

Zhang Kai came to his senses and said, "If you bring Xiaohuan to Xicheng County, Xihe County, then come to Chen's mansion in the city to find me." After that, he left without looking back.

Liu Shuyi was shocked and admired, thinking: He is indeed a smart person and already knows that I have to go to Xicheng. Yes, based on the prison countermeasures, the Liu family's contribution to helping the Li family is not great enough. If Li Yuan can help Zhen Zhai'er, then the Liu family's status will be stable.

As for when to go, he had not yet thought about it. Xicheng was not close to Taiyuan, and it was not far away. But he rashly proposed to go. Although his father would not agree, he might be blocked by Li Da and Li Er, and he would have to find a reason to go.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Xiao Huan came over to inquire about the situation. Liu Shuyi deliberately concealed Zhang Kai's danger and told Xiao Liu not to tell Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan heard that his elder brother left Taiyuan safely and was extremely happy, but after a moment, he looked sad again and his eyes were filled with tears.

Liu Shuyi couldn't bear it and said, "It won't take half a year, and I'll take you to see your elder brother if I have time."

Xiaohuan immediately turned sadness into joy and said, "Take it seriously, do you want to lie to me?"

Seeing that he seemed angry and happy, he was lively and cute, Liu Shuyi couldn't help but joke: "If you call me good brother, what I just said is true, otherwise I would just say nothing."

At that time, Xiao Liu was on the side, Xiao Huan's face was flushed and she couldn't say anything.

Liu Shuyi laughed: "Of course it's true. I will never deceive my little Huan girl no matter what."

Xiaohuan was both ashamed and embarrassed, and secretly happy, leaving with a smile on his face.

Note: Xicheng is Xicheng. Xi is an uncommon word, which is not conducive to reading, so Xi is replaced by Xi.
