Chapter 1073: A Thousand Miles to Send Soldiers
The two of them were talking in the house, but the wind and rain outside did not abate in the slightest, and it was still stormy, and the raindrops crackled on the eaves of the roof and windows.
After a long time, Han Mo asked calmly: "You said before, everyone in the world will now think that you killed my second uncle, how should I understand the meaning of this sentence?" ”
Zhu Xiaoyan's lips moved, but he didn't speak immediately, and after a while of silence, he said lightly: "If I appear in front of the Northwest Army now, they will definitely cut me into meat without hesitation......!" ”
"I know it's not about you." Han Mo said it lightly, but his trust in Zhu Xiaoyan was completely revealed: "I just want to know now, how did you carry this black cauldron for others!" ”
Zhu Xiaoyan looked at Han Mo in the dark with a pair of dark eyes, and finally said, "Han Mo, I am really lucky to know you!" ”
"I'm lucky to have a friend like you." Han Mo said slowly: "You don't have to say much about my help before, but at least today, you can tell me some truths that others don't know!" ”
"The stakes are high, and I won't miss anything out of what I have to say." Zhu Xiaoyan's expression became grim: "As for what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind it, I am not qualified to speak out, everything can only be judged by yourself!" ”
Han Mo sat upright and nodded, "You say!" ”
Zhu Xiaoyan was silent for a while, and then finally said: "Governor Han took Kyoto City, followed the example of Han Gaozu Liu Bang into Xianyang, and made three chapters of the law, and did not allow soldiers to plunder, but it greatly appeased the hearts of the Wei people. Even if it is to the Wei Palace, there is no offense, just send troops to guard, everything is waiting for the emperor of your Yan Kingdom to make the final ruling! ”
Han Mo nodded, didn't say anything, just listened carefully.
"After taking control of the Wei capital, Jiang Siyuan reported many things that happened in the city to Governor Han, and also reported my merits truthfully...... And Governor Han comforted me, and promised that he would definitely go to the Yan Imperial Court and ask for an official ...... for me! Zhu Xiaoyan smiled faintly: "I am a Wei countryman, helping the Yan people destroy their own country, morally speaking, it is for the world to be unified so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but the real reason is just that I want to avenge the blood feud of the Yan clan...... I can take revenge on the Yan family, but I have a shame against the Great Wei State, so I ...... In this life, if you are willing, I may stay by your side to listen to your dispatch and repay your kindness, but I will never serve as an official ...... your Yan Kingdom! ”
Han Mo sighed lightly and said calmly: "You and I only talk about friendship, regardless of favor!" ”
Zhu Xiaoyan continued: "Governor Han didn't say much at the time, but he knew that I was very well-connected in the Wei capital, so he asked me to come forward and appease the surrendered officials of Wei on his behalf, so as not to cause a storm and regenerate incidents in the city. Wei Du was initially decided, and what was needed was naturally stability, which would be beneficial to both your Yan State and Wei State, so I took over this errand and was jointly responsible for appeasing the vassals with Jiang Siyuan......! After a pause, he seemed to be thinking about something, and only said after a long time: "Twenty-three days ago, Wang Jingwei held a banquet alone to invite Governor Han to the banquet, because he knew me, so he invited me to accompany him...... After the Yan army entered the city, Wang Jingwei was very cooperative, and it did play a big role in stabilizing the Wei capital, so Governor Han didn't save his face, and took me and a few relatives to the banquet ......! ”
Han Mo frowned, his expression grim.
Zhu Xiaoyan said slowly: "That night in Wang Jingwei's mansion, it can also be said that the guests and hosts are happy, Wang Jingwei for his own future, naturally welcomed Governor Han, and Governor Han wants to use his power to temporarily maintain the stability of Wei, naturally it is also a false promise...... So Governor Han drank a lot of wine that night, and I also drank a few more glasses of ......! Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaoyan's voice suddenly stopped, and after a while, he said softly: "When Governor Han left Wang's Mansion that night, he was already a little drunk......!" ”
Han Mo thought secretly in his heart: "Could it be that the death of the second uncle is actually related to Wang Jingwei?" But I have a vague feeling that things will never be so simple.
I only heard Zhu Xiaoyan continue: "After parting that night, I returned to my residence, but there was an official of Wei waiting for me, I was also very strange at the time, three watches in the middle of the night, why did he come to look for me? After asking, I learned that he was just a small official in Weidu, named Shen Yicheng, who was looking for me in the middle of the night, but it was because he wanted to complain to me about ......! ”
"Sue?"
"Exactly." Zhu Xiaoyan said calmly: "After Governor Han entered the city, he agreed on three chapters of the law, and the Yan army strictly obeyed his orders, so the panic of breaking the city at the beginning of Wei Capital was under the control of Governor Han, and it only took a few days to quickly stabilize. When I first entered the city, the people in the city closed the gate and didn't dare to come out, and when Governor Han gave an order, the people of Weidu saw that Yan Junqiu was okay after a few days, so they were relieved and began to go out ......! ”
"What did the officer complain about?"
"His wife was raped by Yan Bing!" Zhu Xiaoyan said lightly: "According to him, because he saw that the city was settled, his wife went to visit relatives and relatives, and only returned to his mansion at night, but halfway through, he met three Yan soldiers, one of whom seemed to be a school officer, these three were all drunk, but on the way they blocked Mrs. Shen's carriage, and at first there was an argument with Mrs. Shen's entourage, and then Mrs. Shen came out of the carriage to dissuade her...... killed the entourage and raped Mrs. Shen, after Mrs. Shen replied, she committed suicide by hanging the beam, and this Shen Yicheng asked me to call the shots for this matter...... Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaoyan said lightly: "In the hearts of Wei people, I Yan Chixin is a Wei person after all, since I can speak in front of Governor Han, then they will naturally think that I can seek justice for him!" ”
There was another thunderclap outside, but the two of them were unmoved, Zhu Xiaoyan continued: "This matter is very important, although it is only a case, but once it spreads, it will inevitably cause panic among the people of Wei...... The situation that has been stabilized with great difficulty is likely to be chaotic because of this case......! ”
Han Mo's expression was also quite grim, and he bowed slightly.
"Fortunately, that Shen Yicheng is not a fool, he knows that once this matter is publicized, then there will definitely be riots in the city, and once the Yan army finds out the source of the matter, he will definitely not let them go of the Shen family, so he concealed this matter, and just came to me in the middle of the night to find me and find justice for me." Zhu Xiaoyan's fist was already clenched unconsciously: "Although I know that Governor Han was drunk during the night banquet in Wangfu, this matter is not trivial after all, so I rushed to Governor Han's residence overnight to report this matter to Governor Han......!" ”
Han Mo's heart began to tense.
"When I arrived at Governor Han's residence, after the ceremony, Governor Han asked me to pass me in...... I entered Governor Han's inner room, but Governor Han immediately closed the door, and I was looking at his face under the lamplight, and I only felt ......! Zhu Xiaoyan's words paused again, and his voice was already a little wrong: "I just think it's very strange." At that time, Governor Han's face was a little purple, and he ...... His eyes were ...... There was blood stains, and his body was shaky, and he seemed to be unsteady on his feet......! ”
Han Mo's heart tugged, he knew that Han Xuanling had such symptoms, and he had been poisoned, could it be that the wine and dishes set up by Wang Jingwei for the banquet contained poison?
But he felt that it couldn't be that way.
What kind of character Han Xuanling is, with his ability and vigilance, it is impossible not to guard against Wang Jingwei, if the wine and food are really poisonous, it is impossible for Han Xuanling to eat it.
As for Wang Jingwei, he should not choose such a stupid means at that time, he is just a person who is greedy for money and afraid of death, seeking glory and wealth, but Han Xuanling is Wang Jingwei's road to wealth, of course Wang Jingwei has no reason to cut off his road to wealth. And he had to think that Han Xuanling went to a banquet in his mansion that night, if he was suddenly poisoned, then the first person everyone suspected could only be Wang Jingwei, once the anger of the Yan army soldiers was sprinkled on his head, how could he have a good end?
Therefore, Han Mo is sure that unless this Wang Jingwei is insane for a while, he is definitely not just such a stupid idiot, and according to Zhu Xiaoyan, although Wang Jingwei is greedy for money and afraid of death, he is not a stupid person, so Han Xuanling's poisoning seems to be inseparable from Wang Jingwei, but Han Mo keenly felt that Han Xuanling's murder had nothing to do with Wang Jingwei at this time.
Zhu Xiaoyan sensed the change in Han Mo's mood, and was silent for a moment before continuing: "You should have guessed, Governor Han was already ...... at that time Poisonous! ”
Han Mo clenched his fists, his expression was cold and terrifying, and asked, "Does the second uncle have anything to explain to you next?" ”
Zhu Xiaoyan's voice had already begun to become uncalm: "Governor Han didn't say much to me, but pulled me to the back window...... He was already a little unsteady on his feet, and I could clearly feel his hands shaking violently...... ”
Han Mo was extremely sad in his heart, he could imagine that Han Xuanling must have endured great pain at that time, making some kind of arrangement at the last moment of his life.
"Governor Han handed me something so that I will hand it over to you at all costs!" Zhu Xiaoyan's expression was very solemn: "Actually, I didn't know what happened at that time, but I knew that this was Governor Han's dying trust, so I promised him that as long as I lived, I would definitely hand things over to you......!" At this point, he had already figured out something from his bosom, got up, and continued to say in an extremely low voice: "I came out of the back window, and I didn't go far, and I was blocked by a group of assassins...... I was able to break out of the siege and leave Kyoto City in the end, not because I had much ability, but because someone helped me, otherwise I would definitely not be able to complete Governor Han's request! ”
He slowly walked in front of Han Mo, opened his left hand and sent it to Han Mo, and said word by word: "This is what Governor Han asked me to hand over to you before he died, you...... Naturally recognized! ”
Although it was in the dark, Han Mo could vaguely see the things in Zhu Xiaoyan's hands, he slowly stretched out his hand, took it, held it in the palm of his hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand protruded.
He naturally recognized that this was the Northwest General Talisman that he had handed over to Han Xuanling before!
