Han Jian insisted on going into the palace to rescue the empress in person at night, but Han Cui's couldn't screw him, and it seemed that he had compromised. In order to facilitate his actions at night, Han Jian first prepared some details, including the night festival led by Gu Weipan in front of the Yamen of the Criminal Department in the evening.

As soon as the operation was successful at night, Han Jian knew that he would leave Luoyang City immediately and set off for the south, and the time would be very rushed. The night sacrifice took place in the first half of the night, and the rescuer would leave Luoyang in the second half of the night, and it was extremely difficult to transfer the people in the entire Dongwangfu to escape.

Just when Han Jian was planning how not to be noticed by Yang Yu and the forces behind Yang Yu, Zhang Xing hurriedly came over from outside and reported to Han Jian that it was not a big deal, saying that he had found Cui Mingli's body.

Hearing this, Han Jian hurriedly walked out of the main gate of the Dongwang Mansion with Zhang Xing, an ox cart stopped at the entrance of the Dongwang Mansion Annex, and there was really a corpse that had begun to decompose in the straw pile on the carriage, Han Jian stepped forward to take a look, and hurriedly retreated. At this time, Han Cuishi, who got the news, also hurriedly came out for verification.

"Jian'er, how can this be?" When Han Cuishi saw Cui Mingli's corpse, he wiped his tears with a look of reluctance. Although he had known that Cui Mingli had died in prison for a long time, seeing Cui Mingli's body with such a personal eye, Han Cui's family naturally couldn't bear it.

"Cui Hongru's body, how did you get it?" Han Jian frowned and looked at Zhang Xing and asked.

"Back to the young man, someone sent a message to the door before a stick of incense, saying that he would give us something. The subordinates sent someone to intercept the person who sent the letter, but there was no trace, and before he could tell the young son, someone sent Cui Hongru's body to the door. We took the ox-cart driver, just an ordinary coachman, and took the money, completely unaware of what was going on. ”

Han Jian frowned deeply, some things were too unusual. Cui Mingli is dead when he dies, who will send Cui Mingli's body, and what does this mean? Demonstrate? If it is good, the person who comes does not even report their lives, and if it is malicious, why are they?

"Young boy. Cui Hongru's body. How is it placed? Zhang Xing asked.

Han Jian was a little embarrassed, looked at Han Cui's, and asked, "How do you think Sanniang should be placed?" ”

Han Cuishi sighed: "If you can enter the soil for peace, let's go into the earth for peace as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded. "It's about finding a good coffin. Push up the daisies. ”

Han Jian looked at the condition of Cui Mingli's body. It's been at least a few days since I've been dead, and it's not easy to deal with the corpse parked like this. Originally, he was going to leave Luoyang City that night, and he couldn't hold a big funeral.

At this time, Gu Weipan learned the news. He also walked out of the main gate of the East Wangfu step by step with a cane, and was coming to the side of the ox cart.

"Chief Gu, who are you?" Han Jian saw Gu Weipan's resolute and resolute expression, and felt that Gu Weipan seemed to be about to do something. Han Jian knew that Gu Weipan and Cui Mingli were old enemies before, and he didn't know what he would do.

When Gu Weipan saw Cui Mingli's corpse, he first sighed, threw his crutches, and shouted: "Woohoo! Alas! ”

While chanting, while the old tears were unbearable, Gu Xin'er was originally following behind Gu Weipan, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him at this time, but he didn't expect Gu Weipan's whole human relationship to be out of control, no matter how others persuaded him, he just lay on the ox cart and refused to get up.

These can embarrass Han Jian and others, no one has thought that Cui Mingli's death, the saddest thing will be Cui Mingli's sworn enemy Gu Weipan before his death. It's like the two have been fighting for a lifetime, in the end, the only one who can really sympathize with him is this sworn enemy, in the chaotic environment of Luoyang, even people like Han Jian and Cui Mingli with relatives can only bury him hastily for the time being.

Han Jian stepped forward to persuade Gu Weipan not to move, turned back to Han Cui's and said, "Sanniang, first notify Cui Hongru's family and let them come over and transport the body away." Today's events should not be publicized, after all, there is something to do in the evening......"

Han Jian was reminding Han Cui that he would go to rescue the empress at night, and if the original plan was disrupted because of Cui Mingli's corpse, everything might be ruined.

Gu Weipan, who was originally in tears, was sad for a while, but his feelings improved slightly, and he turned to look at Han Jian and asked, "How are you going to dispose of the body?" ”

"Chief Gu, because Cui Hongru has been dead for many days, we are ready to let him be buried as soon as possible." Han Jian said admittedly.

Gu Weipan thought for a while and said, "No." ”

"Does Chief Gu have any other arrangements?"

Gu Weipan let out a long sigh and said, "I have fought with Cui Hongru for half my life, and when I got old, I didn't even advance and retreat with him. He went to Huangquan, and I am ashamed of him. Tonight's worship, the old man is ready to send his coffin to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and to tell the world the evil of the rebellious ministers and thieves. ”

Han Jian couldn't help frowning when he heard this, there are some things Gu Weipan is not afraid of big things, it was already very out of the ordinary to go to the door of the yamen of the Criminal Department to hold a night sacrifice, but now he actually wants to move Cui Mingli's body over. It is said that the reason why the night festival held at the gate of Dongwangfu did not cause Yang Yu and Yang Yu's behind-the-scenes forces to send troops to suppress it was mainly because the action was not large, and it was not yet time for them to do it. But if this time things are too out of line, I'm afraid that Yang Yu and the forces behind Yang Yu will not hold back.

However, Han Jian thought about it, he was not afraid to do things to be big, anyway, he had already been hated by Yang Yu, so he simply poured fuel on this hatred. The more out of the ordinary things he does in front of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, the more the enemy's eyes will pay attention to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and then he will have a greater chance to enter the palace to rescue the empress.

Han Jian nodded and said, "That qiē will depend on the chief's will." ”

……

……

For a day, the Dongwang Mansion was busy. The people of the Dongwang Mansion not only had to pack some simple items and travel lightly, but also prepared Cui Mingli's coffin to prepare for the night festival at night.

At dusk, Yang Li'er came in a hurry. She came over to inquire about the details after learning the news that Han Jian was preparing to withdraw from Luoyang City at night.

“…… You just go. Your Dongwang Mansion is very well prepared, how can we have time to pack our luggage? Yang Li'er was very dissatisfied with Han Jian and said.

Han Jian sighed: "Miss Yang, forgive me, things are in a hurry, if you can't leave tonight, I'm afraid there will be no time to leave Luoyang." And this time we are running for our lives, we can travel lightly, if we all pack up the salutes, I'm afraid we won't be able to go fast on this way. ”

Yang Li'er's temper improved slightly, originally in the morning, when Han Jian explained that she was going to rescue the empress, she probably guessed that she would leave at night, and she was prepared in advance. She just blamed Han Jian for not telling her about something, and she had to let her guess.

"Enter the palace tonight to save people, but do you need the support of the Southern Palace?" Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian and asked.

"No need." Han Jian said, "The palace is forbidden, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit, so it is best to have as few people as possible." Miss Yang is still waiting for news and is ready to evacuate Luoyang at any time. If Yang Yu learns that we have rescued the empress, he will definitely send troops to chase after him at any cost, and there may be a few tough battles on the way. ”

Yang Li'er pondered something, and she naturally understood how difficult the "tough battle" Han Jian was talking about. This time, the East Prince's Mansion and the South Prince's Mansion evacuated Luoyang together, although there were not many people, but they brought a lot of ministers and family members from the central government, and the speed on the road was bound to be not fast. And with the soldiers and horses of the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu guarding outside the city, the two together are only five or six hundred cavalry, compared to the soldiers and horses of Luoyang City controlled by Yang Yu, this is a drop in the bucket.

Han Jian saw that Yang Li'er seemed to be a little hesitant, and said with a smile: "If Miss Yang thinks that it is troublesome to go with her, we might as well part ways after leaving Luoyang City." ”

Yang Li'er frowned, and said with a little annoyance: "You mean that the sons and daughters of my Nanwang Mansion are all greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "I don't have that intention. ”

Yang Li'er said: "Where to evacuate Luoyang tonight, as well as the arrangements along the way, you will list them in detail to me." Don't wait until you get out of Luoyang City, you will explain again, then the matter will be in a hurry, and the soldiers of our Nanwang Mansion will not have time to arrange. ”

Han Jian nodded, found a pen and paper, and wrote some detailed procedures of the evacuation to Yang Li'er.

Soon it was time to turn on the lights, Gu Weipan came out, looking haggard, ready to go to the door of the yamen of the criminal department to go to the night sacrifice. Han Jian saw that Gu Weipan's condition was not good, so he knew that Cui Mingli's death had a great impact on him, if he could, he should persuade Gu Weipan to rest at this time, but after all, he had a detailed plan that night, and at this time he had to watch such a haggard Gu Weipan go to the night sacrifice.

Originally, the preparations for the night festival in the past few days were very complete, and there was no need to prepare anything else. Han Jian originally planned to have people carry things to the carriage and transport them to the door of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, but Gu Weipan insisted on refusing. He wanted to personally hold Cui Mingli's spiritual tablet and walk in the direction of Xingbu Yamen.

Originally, Gu Weipan needed to walk on crutches because of the difficulty of moving on his legs, and even then he couldn't walk steadily, but he insisted on walking, and even Han Jian couldn't persuade him.

Han Jian couldn't persuade him anymore, Han Jian also knew that Gu Weipan had his own insistence, if this could make Gu Weipan's heart feel better, Han Jian would not force it.

Before going out, Han Jian completely explained the aftermath. Including when to drive, which streets to take in Luoyang City, how to meet, how to get out of the city. After all, he had to go to the palace to save people in person at night, and he couldn't take care of the outside affairs, so he needed to arrange it in advance so as not to lose sight of it.

After all the arrangements were made, Han Jian personally accompanied Gu Weipan from the gate of the East Palace, and the group went to the direction of the Yamen of the Criminal Department together in linen and filial piety.

Originally, there was no need to wear linen and filial piety, but Han Jian felt that wearing the same clothes, he could get out more easily. And in the hearts of ordinary people, wearing linen and wearing filial piety is more shocking, and more people will go to watch.

Han Jian and the others walked in the middle, and the guards of the East Wangfu escorted them all the way with torches. Along the way, many people have heard the news and come to join in the fun, and when they arrived at the gate of the yamen of the criminal department, they watched the three inner and outer three floors that the people had surrounded in a short time.

Subsequently, several attendants carried Cui Mingli's coffin to the front of the yamen of the Criminal Department. At this time, the gate of the yamen of the criminal department was closed, although there were officials on duty inside, but those officials also knew that these people outside were not their level to be provoked, so at the beginning, there was no interference in the night sacrifice.
