As soon as Shen Quan left, Su Fengyi arranged a grand funeral for General Shen.
Liu An just disappeared like that, and Captain Zhu has not found any trace of Liu An until now. No one found him alive or dead. This matter has been weighing on Su Fengyi's mind, and it's time to put an end to it.
Liu An is the father-in-law of King Pingliang and the most direct descendant of King Pingliang. If he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, King Pingliang will definitely be implicated.
Logically speaking, Liu An had fled, and Xie Xuan's evidence was solid. Given the relationship between Prince Pingliang and Liu An, the emperor would definitely suspect Prince Pingliang of being disloyal.
As a result, a few days ago, the Prince of Pingliang presented a white peacock and a letter of divorce to the Princess of Pingliang. The emperor actually believed the Prince of Pingliang easily again, believing that his fourth uncle was just unlucky in family and had the bad luck to meet such an evil-minded Yue family.
Such blind credulity was not only inconsistent with the emperor's suspicious nature, but was also exactly the same as Shen He's situation at that time.
King Pingliang is the male protagonist of this book. The god of plot serves the protagonist, so the male protagonist's halo will not only affect the protagonists, but also the villain in the book, that is, the emperor.
To break the protagonist's halo, there must be solid evidence, just like what happened to Shen He that night. Otherwise, the slightest omission will give the protagonist a chance to survive.
It would be great if we could catch Liu An and find out the exact evidence of King Pingliang's collusion with the enemy, and get rid of the male protagonist before he officially appears.
Even if there is no evidence of King Pingliang's guilt, Liu An himself is a hidden danger.
If she were Liu An, she would be desperate now and would most likely have surrendered to the little prince of the Northern Tartars, hoping to turn the tables by taking advantage of the Northern Tartars' invasion and the Prince of Pingliang's rebellion.
Since ancient times, traitors have been far more harmful than enemy invaders. Liu An was too familiar with the court of Damu and had to get rid of him.
She called Dangui and ordered:
"General Shen's funeral must be a big event, and everyone in the capital must know about it. General Shen died of illness, and his body will be kept in the Princess's Mansion for seven days before he is buried."
Since Liu An won't come out, we'll lure him out of his hole and let him fall into our trap.
Wutong had spread so many rounds of true and false news about whether General Shen was alive or dead in the capital. When Liu An suddenly heard that General Shen was dead, he would definitely not believe it.
At this time, the most effective way to know for sure whether General Shen is alive or dead is to open the coffin where General Shen is lying and take a look. Then everything will become clear.
Therefore, Liu An will definitely send someone.
Dangui had been preparing for General Shen's funeral for many days. When she heard that it could be done properly, she happily replied:
"Okay, I promise to make sure that General Shen's death is grand, dignified, and glorious. I promise that even every rat in the capital will know how glorious General Shen's death was."
Su Fengyi requested that General Shen's funeral should be held with a grand noise. Based on Dangui's experience of observing so many funerals in the capital, the fastest way to make a loud noise was to parade through the streets.
So Dangui immediately arranged for the entire mansion to be decorated in white, and then arranged for a funeral procession to parade through the streets to pray for General Shen's soul to be reborn.
In front of the team, there were thirty-two suonas leading the way, paper money filled the sky, and firecrackers were blasting.
The sound of suona is extremely penetrating. When thirty-two suonas sound together, the sound can penetrate from the south to the north of the city, and the lingering sound can go around from the east to the west of the city.
Not only the mice, but also the chickens and dogs started barking. There was no peace anywhere in the capital city.
In the middle of the team were 108 paper bearers, with tall paper houses, carved beams and painted rafters, and countless lifelike beauties and servants.
The paperware that the Princess's Mansion ordered for General Shen were all exquisite and rare, even more beautiful than the lanterns during the Chinese New Year.
As a result, every family in the capital went out to see the strange thing; even a paralytic would run two miles to see this rare and bizarre thing.
Finally, there were eighty eminent monks following behind, chanting sutras to pray for the souls to be liberated.
Eighty monks chanted sutras together. The scene, the momentum, and the magical sound that pierced the brain ensure that people inside and outside the capital will talk about this grand parade with relish ten years later.
There was a parade outside the palace, and the body was kept inside the palace.
The eight-inch-thick iron-walled and wooden lacquered coffin was placed in the main hall of the Princess's Mansion, and a vigil was arranged at night. It was the place with the brightest fire in the entire mansion at night, ensuring that night visitors could recognize it at a glance.
Su Fengyi was reading in the study room at night. She waited until midnight, and sure enough, there was a commotion in the mansion.
The guards outside the door were worried about assassins and suddenly became nervous. They picked up their knives and guarded the study tightly.
Su Fengyi turned a deaf ear and continued reading. Last time she sent Wutong to do something, she was worried because it was the first time, so she secretly covered for Wutong.
But she couldn't always follow Wutong and protect her secretly for the rest of her life.
The fastest way to help people grow is to let them do things, give them the right to make decisions, and also let them take the risk of taking responsibility.
So this time, Su Fengyi is ready to let go and let Wutong take full responsibility and make all the decisions. Success or failure all depends on her own ability.
Half an hour later, Wutong came.
Su Fengyi put down the book and asked with a smile:
"Caught?"
Wutong answered confidently:
"Your Highness, the whereabouts of Liu An has been discovered."
In just half an hour, Wutong not only captured the man, but also found out Liu An's whereabouts?
Su Fengyi remembered that not long ago, Wutong was frustrated and cried because he had caught the assassin but could not get any results from the interrogation. In such a short period of time, Wutong's progress was so rapid. He really had an amazing talent.
When subordinates do well, be sure to praise and encourage them in a timely manner. Positive feedback is always more effective than scolding.
Su Fengyi saw that although Wutong looked serious, he could not help waiting for praise, so she immediately praised him:
"Yes, I know you can handle this matter."
Wutong was suddenly happy, his face was full of smiles and he tried to say seriously:
"Liu An hid in Qingbiankou and Da Laohugou, sending pigeons every day to communicate with the secret agents in the capital."
Qingbiankou is twenty miles away from Xuanfu.
Su Fengyi originally thought that Liu An had already surrendered to the little prince of the Northern Tartars, but she didn't expect that he was hiding in a place so close to Xuanfu, where the mountains are high and the waters are deep. What was his plan of hiding there?
Moreover, Qingbiankou, Su Fengyi was very familiar with this place name. Before, Qiao Gui wanted to lure the emperor to the north on a tour to seize the opportunity to seize the military power of the imperial guards. The place where the white unicorn appeared was fabricated, and it was in Qingbiankou.
There is no way such a coincidence can happen in this world!
Su Fengyi suddenly had an ominous premonition and ordered Wutong:
"Continue the interrogation and ask Liu An what his plan is. I will go to the palace."
Wutong was really surprised:
"Your Highness, it's so late, the palace gates are closed, you can't get in."
"If you turn it off, turn it back on."
Su Fengyi took the horsewhip and bow and arrow and hurried out. Outside the door, Dangui led a man wearing a night cloak and hurried in.
The man who came took off the hood of his cloak and turned out to be the commander of the imperial guards, Lu Hong!
At this hour, the palace gates were closed. Lu Hong was not in the palace, nor was he with the emperor. Yet, he was dressed like this. There was only one possibility.
Su Fengyi immediately asked:
"What happened to the Emperor?"
Lu Hong came in a hurry and answered briefly:
"Your Majesty, Joe, is missing."
