"The prime minister isn't in the mansion? He's still sick, where did he go?" Liu Fu rushed to the prime minister's mansion, but didn't see anyone. He immediately felt that Wang Sheng's dilapidated place was leaking from all directions, and he couldn't beat one place. Come.The steward saw that his face was not looking good, so he lowered his head and replied: "Go back to the king, my lord has gone to the court officer's office." Liu Fu turned around and left the mansion without saying a word, and went to the court officer's office.

Halfway through the journey, he happened to see Xiangfu's carriage. Liu Fu rode his horse forward, put the horse in the middle of the road, and stopped Wang Sheng's carriage forcefully.

Mr. He, the coachman of the Xiangfu, had a bad stomach today, but Wang Sheng had to go out again, so he had to ask his nephew Xiao He to take him for a day.Xiao He drove a good car, but he was not a member of Xiangfu, he had never seen Liu Fu before, and he didn't know what their king looked like, when he saw someone blocking the road in the distance, he remembered the story of Yang Jiu that his uncle told him , A sense of lofty mission suddenly surged in my heart, I cleared my throat, and shouted to Liu Fu from a distance: "Who are you? You stopped the prime minister's frame, but you have grievances to sue?"

When Liu Fu saw Wang Sheng's car, the anger he had held back all the way was about to explode, but he was blocked back by this sentence.He was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said: "I have no grievances, so I can't see your prime minister?"

After saying that, he took the horse a few steps further, and when he was about to hit Wang Sheng's frame, he pulled the rein suddenly, and the horse neighed and stopped in front of the shaft.Before Xiao He could raise his head, he saw a black satin leather boot with a square toe in his eyes.He only saw the officials and lords in the city wear such square-toed boots when they went to court. These boots were rolled with gold and embroidered with animal prints. They were spotless and sat high on the stirrups, even if he had not seen them clearly. This person's face, but the nobleness and domineeringness of this person stepped into his eyes forcefully through this one boot.Xiao He looked down at his muddy cloth shoes, couldn't help but shrunk his feet back, then looked up at Liu Fu and said seriously: "The prime minister takes care of everything every day. If everyone has nothing to do, they should look for him. Isn't the prime minister going to die of exhaustion? If you have no grievances, get out of the way quickly, I have to hurry."

Liu Fu turned his nostrils to the sky, "I won't let you go, how do you treat it?"

"You, you..." Xiao He saw that the man in front of him looked heroic and majestic, like the generals who had just triumphantly returned from the south gate this morning, a natural admiration and affection arose in his heart , but didn't expect him to be so unreasonable, his face turned red with anger, "If you don't get out of the way, I'll tell you, I'm going to call the guards to chase you away!"

"Okay, then your name." Liu Fu said lightly.

"What's going on outside?" Wang Sheng closed his eyes and rested his mind. He felt that the frame of the car had not moved for a long time, and there were faint voices outside. He also remembered Yang Jiu's matter, so he hurriedly got out of the car to take a look.Seeing Liu Fu, he was a little surprised, and was about to speak, but Xiao He took a step ahead of him, pointed to Liu Fu and said to him, "My lord, this man stopped the carriage and wouldn't let us pass, and his attitude was very arrogant, he was absolutely lawless! If I don't care, that's okay?" Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice, leaned into Wang Sheng's ear and added: "My lord, I see that this person is so arrogant, he must also be named Liu."

Wang Sheng smiled when he heard the words, but didn't answer, walked up to Liu Fu's horse, bowed and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty."

Liu Fu sat on the horse, staring at Wang Sheng silently.Just now he had vented his anger at the coachman indiscriminately, the so-called burst of energy, and then faded away, but now seeing Wang Sheng, he couldn't bring up much anger.Getting angry is like fighting a war. If you miss the opportunity to get angry, it will be difficult to get angry again.

Seeing that Liu Fu was silent, Wang Sheng said again: "What's the matter with your Majesty stopping the minister?"

After all, Liu Fu was still uneasy, looked at Wang Sheng with a half-smile, and then slowly said: "The Prime Minister is really calculating, he must be very good at chess, right?"

He seldom showed this expression to Wang Sheng, and he never spoke to him like this. Wang Sheng was stabbed in the heart, and his left hand subconsciously held the hilt of the sword at his waist. The familiar coolness made him calm down. After sorting out his expression, he said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty forgot, when I was young, my family was poor, and it was extremely difficult to study. As for chess, I have never dabbled in it."

Liu Fu saw that he pretended to be ignorant while pretending to be understanding, and he was even more unhappy when he evaded his own questioning, so he bent slightly, got closer to him, stared at Wang Sheng, and provocatively followed his words: "That's a pity! Calculated with the wisdom of the prime minister, if you enter this way, I think you will be able to become a national leader in a short time. Why should you condescend to be a prime minister, only to be humiliated under the dark lord, so that you can't do your best, can't apply for your ambitions, and grow old in the temple? Isn't it a pity?" Liu Fu understands people, he can please people, but it's no problem to provoke people, he thought, Wang Sheng would probably lose his temper when he heard this.Thinking of this, he suddenly felt both happy and uneasy, tightened the reins slightly, and straightened his back on the horse.

Wang Sheng's left hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened suddenly, the knuckles were pale, and his thin face was also sickly white in the sun.He lowered his eyes, his expression was quite calm, and he didn't mean to get angry at all. After a while, he looked at Liu Fu again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's left hand is inconvenient. It may be dangerous to ride a horse. Please condescend to take a car... This road leads to the court. Wei Department, is Your Majesty going to this place?"

Seeing his complexion, Liu Fu secretly regretted Wang Sheng when he remembered that he was still ill. Fortunately, Wang Sheng changed the subject lightly, which saved him from finding the next step by himself.Liu Fu heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing his invitation, he got off the horse immediately, stood in front of Wang Sheng, touched his nose, and said with a calm expression, "Mm. Jing Huan just came back from the court?"

Wang Sheng didn't change his face, "I went to see some prisoners in custody."

Liu Fu did not doubt that he was there, and when he got into the carriage first and passed by Xiao He, he deliberately gave him a blank look.Apparently Xiao He hadn't recovered yet, he watched in a daze as the man who had turned from a street bully to the current king swaggered into the carriage, and stretched out his hand to pull the prime minister up as well, but he didn't react for a long time.It wasn't until he heard the sentence "why don't you go?" that he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly drove the carriage to turn around and headed for the Tingwei Office.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the Tingwei Office, Liu Fu went first, and Wang Shengxuan was half a step behind.When he arrived at the place where Liu De was being held, Liu Fu saw Liu De sitting on the ground with disheveled hair from a distance, his head lowered and concentrating on touching the texture of the floor tiles.As his younger brother, he was spoiled and raised since he was a child, how could he have suffered such hardships.Liu Fu sighed softly. When approaching, he deliberately stepped up his steps and made some noises. He expected that Liu De would definitely be able to hear them, but unexpectedly he didn't respond. Don't lift it, as if you are indifferent to the sound outside.

"Brother De." Liu Fu approached and called out.

Hearing Liu Fu's voice, Liu De suddenly raised his head, seeing Liu Fu's face was overjoyed, he walked up to him in a few steps, leaning on the wooden fence with both hands, overjoyed and said: "Brother! You are finally back, hurry up! Just let me out! I've had enough!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Fu's murderous heart suddenly arose.

He originally thought that Liu De was thrown into court prison this time, and he had tasted the fate of his life. He should be terrified, and his temper could be restrained a little. Don't do it again, and finally beg yourself to release him.But he didn't expect that he had no regrets, and he was sure that it was only a matter of time before he let him out.Liu Fu couldn't imagine, he was willing to bear the charge of breaking the trust of the courtiers and the common people, and this is what he wanted to protect?He murdered five people in a vendetta, causing the whole country to shake, and the government and the people looked sideways. He actually thought that he could let him go without saying a word?Who gave him this confidence?

Wang Sheng stood behind Liu Fu, his eyes half closed, his face expressionless.

"Have you had enough?" Liu Fu sneered, "Okay, you don't have to suffer anymore after noon tomorrow, just bear with it for another day."

Liu De was overjoyed at first when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, his expression suddenly changed, and he stammered, "Brother... what does this mean?"

Liu Fu turned around, didn't look at him, and said calmly: "Liu De, you sent assassins to kill five people in a row, this is a capital crime, what do you mean by me?"

"No, no, brother! Didn't you come to let me out? Don't scare me, brother! I'm your younger brother, I... this!" Liu De said anxiously as he pulled Liu Fu's clothes through the wooden fence : "Didn't you say you were going to let me out!"

Liu Fu tilted his head slightly, frowned at him, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, "When did I say that!"

"This, this...Prime Minister! He, he..." Liu De pointed at Wang Sheng, but couldn't say anything for a long time.It is true that Wang Sheng never said that Liu Fu would release him, but he did everything possible to please himself before, besides getting the word that Liu Fu wanted to release him, what other reason could there be?Why did Liu Fu suddenly change his mind?

"Brother, brother, I was wrong, I dare not do it again! Please forgive me this time, I will never do this again, please! If I die, what will my mother do...Brother , please, let me go, I can do whatever you want me to do in the future!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu De slumped on the ground and cried loudly, pulling at the corner of Liu Fu's clothes.He originally planned to see Liu Fu and beg him in tears, maybe he could let him go if his heart softened, but later he guessed from the clues that the food had improved and Wang Sheng's past and present. Letting go of my own will, so I have nothing to worry about, so I simply saved the tears.But he didn't expect that Liu Fu was going to kill him. In shock, tears fell down from his eyes this time sincerely.It's just that it was okay for Liu Fu to cry when he first came, but it's too late to cry now.

Liu Fu didn't even look at him again, pushed his hand away, and strode away with a sullen face.Wang Sheng followed without saying a word, still half a step behind, with no expression on his face, neither guilty nor complacent, as if none of this had anything to do with him—and that's exactly what happened here. In this matter, Liu Fu's final decision was completely out of his own thinking, weighing and will, and was not the result of his or anyone else's intervention.

Shame, he just did a tiny job.

Liu Fu turned a deaf ear to Liu De's wailing behind him, and walked out of the Tingwei Office without stopping.If his heart softens, no matter who persuades him, he will never be able to make up his mind to kill Liu De, but at the same time, it only takes a moment for him to become hard-hearted.Although he was vacillating and indecisive about how to deal with this matter before, but no matter what, once he made a decision, he would move forward without hesitation.Just as he had murderous intentions towards Liu De at this time, there was no room for change in this matter. No matter who obstructed him, he still insisted on punishing Liu Deming to thank the people.

"Tomorrow noon, he will be beheaded at the market. Jing Huan, go back and make arrangements." Liu Fu turned to Wang Sheng and said, "Also, remember to inform all the officials to come and see."

"Yes."

"Li Qi! You go to Ganquan Palace and inform Xiaolun. Even if she can't come tomorrow, she still has to send someone to collect Liu De's body. Tell her not to look for me, and it's useless to look for me. This matter will not change. gone."

Li Qi suddenly appeared from behind. He always liked to have a playful smile, but he was as slippery as a loach, and even Liu Fu couldn't scold him. At this time, there was no smile on his face, and he buried his head even lower when he heard the sound. , After answering, he went without hesitation.

Liu Fu crossed his arms, stared at the bare old tree outside Ting Wei's office for a while, and suddenly turned his head and asked Wang Sheng, "Go back to the prime minister's mansion?"

He turned his head, unexpectedly meeting Wang Sheng's gaze, Wang Sheng hurriedly looked away, and seemed a little flustered. After a while, he realized that this was impolite, he turned his gaze back, slightly bowed his head and said, "Yes."

"I'll go back with you." Liu Fu took Wang Sheng's hand and felt that it was very cold, so he held it in his own hand, rubbed it vigorously, and said as he walked, "This place in Ting Wei Prison is another place. It's cloudy and cold, don't come here if you're not well, no case is more important than your health."

Wang Sheng said, "Yes."

Liu Fu didn't hold back his face, and only then did he show his first smile to Wang Sheng today, "Jing Huan, why are you only perfunctory with me today."

Wang Sheng complimented him solemnly, "The king is benevolent and wise, and I have nothing to persuade, so I just say yes."

"As you wish, I have finally become a wise king now, huh?" Liu Fu hummed twice, and suddenly said: "Jing Huan, let me teach you how to play chess."

"Chen..." Wang Sheng showed a look of disapproval, Liu Fu hurriedly interrupted: "It won't take long to play chess, I'll send someone to find a set in the treasury."

When the two of them arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the chess sets were delivered immediately.Liu Fu and Wang Sheng walked through the courtyard together. When they passed the pond, Liu Fu pointed to the empty water and asked suspiciously, "I remember there were carp here before, why are they gone?"

Wang Sheng said indifferently: "When I just came back from the land of Shu, the king came to the mansion and poured all the fish food into it. This fish has always been hungry and hungry, and it swelled to death that night."

Liu Fu stopped in his tracks, blinked his eyes twice, with a look of embarrassment on his face, Wang Sheng smiled and led him into the inner room.

Wang Sheng handed out a few documents, Liu Fu set up the chessboard on the side, and sat across the chessboard from Wang Sheng, holding up the sunspots and said: "The intersection of vertical and horizontal is the star position, and the chess must land on the star position. For example, I will land here first. , you land here." Liu Fu himself landed on the star in the upper right corner, took a good position, and pointed to Wang Sheng at random in the middle of the chessboard.Wang Sheng glanced at Liu Fu, although he felt something was wrong, he still picked up a white stone and dropped it there.

"Well, then..." Then Liu Fu occupied all four star positions by himself, and commanded Wang Sheng to drop the white pieces on the chessboard.Then they played several moves in a row. Although Wang Sheng knew nothing about the way of chess, he also saw that the black pieces were neat and orderly, while the white pieces on his side were scattered and disorganized. How could he not understand Liu Fu's mind at this time, so he couldn't help touching He smiled faintly as he picked up the chess pieces, and immediately dropped the white pieces casually by himself without Liu Fu's reminder.After a long time, he vaguely saw some ways, and sometimes he could obviously feel that a certain place was surrounded, so he didn't care about it, just put the chess pieces at the back elsewhere, and watched Liu Fu pick out the white pieces and throw them on the ground without changing his face. side.Wang Sheng even thought that if Liu Fu couldn't figure out his chess moves, it would be more difficult for him to win, but Liu Fu didn't say anything else after he taught him a sentence at the very beginning. There is no other way but to go underground indiscriminately.

Liu Fu deliberately played the chess with murderous intent, but unfortunately Wang Sheng couldn't feel it, he just accompanied Liu Fu and made random moves.After a while, Liu Fu suddenly raised his head and said seriously, "You lost." Wang Sheng looked back at him in a daze, then nodded, "It was the minister who lost." Liu Fu pointed to the chessboard and said, "You lost." I lost a lot of children." Seeing Liu Fu's provocative and proud expression, Wang Sheng almost smiled again, but he also knew that this was definitely not the expression Liu Fu was expecting to see on his face at this time, so he had to hold back his smile , looked at the chessboard and nodded heavily, "I admit defeat."

He knew that in Liu De's case, in order to make Liu Fu make up his mind to kill someone, he plotted against him. Liu Fu was naturally upset. No one would be happy if he was plotted, let alone the king of a country?It's just that this matter is of great importance, and it must not be a woman's benevolence. If he had no other choice, he would never plan on Liu Fu and make the two of them feel worse.Liu Fu got angry, it was a good thing to overwhelm him in chess, if he didn't hold grudges against him, he would naturally coax him if he could, it's not a big deal, Liu Fu just follow him in whatever he wants to do.

Liu Fu tidied up the chess pieces and said, "You lost one game, so I don't think you will be convinced. Let's play two more games to convince you."

He clearly didn't win enough, but he wanted to say that Wang Sheng didn't lose enough. Wang Sheng's body hadn't healed. He was extremely tired after this day, and his old illness was aching. Said: "Okay, let's play two more rounds."

Liu Fu raised his eyebrows, and made another move on the chessboard. Wang Sheng looked down at his hand, and followed his move casually, but thought in his heart, if Liu Fu's mind is hard to calm down, even if he pulls him to play another ten rounds, it will be too late. It doesn't matter, tiredness or pain can be endured, it's better than showing him that look and saying those stinging words.

It really hurts.
