Zhao Ying's anger gradually subsided, he put on a smiling face again, helped Handan Kai up (he was still prostrate on the ground), and said kindly: "Kai! You are the only person I can trust, and the 'matter' of Handan is entrusted to you. Don't let that trust down! ”

Handan Kai was flattered and grateful, and hurried back to Handan the next day.

On the Handan side, the migration plan is proceeding in an orderly manner: Handan has returned to Handan after finishing the military campaign against the Qi State; He withdrew and brought back the 500 families.

After seeing his brother after entering the city, Handan Kai happily reported to him the process and results of the trip, falsely claiming that Zhao Ying greatly appreciated his political talents. A boulder in Handan Wu's heart finally fell to the ground, but he didn't know that his own brother had put the sling around his neck, and the footsteps of death were getting closer and closer.

500 households successfully moved into Jinyang. Zhao Ying was still kept in the dark, thinking that everything was the credit of Handan Kai. After settling in the outsiders, he sent someone to summon Handan to Xinjiang to meet him.

Handan Wu did not dare to slack off, and planned to start preparing for departure on the same day. However, Handan Ji and Shebin had doubts about the purpose of this order. Shi Bin said: "We have completed the things arranged by the sect master, why does the sect master still summon the master over?" And the letter doesn't even reveal the reason? What a strange situation in the end! It is better for the master to stay in Handan, with the Zhongxing clan here, the suzerain does not dare to be unfavorable to Handan. ”

Handan Wu said: "I am worthy of the office, and I am loyal to the family; I'm a public office doctor appointed by the prince and a nephew of the Bank of China, so what can I worry about? ”

He had already learned his master's stubborn temper many times, and he no longer insisted, but only asked him to bring more guards in case of accidents. This proposal was adopted.

Handan Wu rushed to Xinjiang with the guests and a team. Before setting off at noon, Handan sent two teams of envoys, one team to meet Zhao Ying, and the other team to meet Zhong Xingyin.

The arrogant Zhao Ying only sent a low-ranking retainer to meet the Handan envoy, and did not send anyone to meet Handan Wu afterwards. Zhong Xingyin was not the same, he not only personally feasted the envoy, but also sent his son Zhong Xingyu to the suburbs to meet his nephew.

Handan Wu felt torn between a dilemma. According to the rules, he should first visit Zhao Ying; But since Zhong Xingyin robbed Zhao Ying's Hu, Handan Wu had to follow his cousin (Zhong Xingyu) to his uncle's house first.

Zhong Xingyin set up a feast to entertain Handan afternoon. After nightfall, Zhongxingyin's house was full of singing and dancing, and half of the people in Xinjiang City could hear the sound of silk and bamboo bell music from Zhongxingyin's house. The guests and hosts pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and they drank happily. On the other side, Zhao Ying almost blew his lungs and spent a long night of resentment and resentment alone.

Early the next morning, Handan got up in a daze, and his body still exuded the strong smell of alcohol left by the hangover. He reluctantly drank a bowl of porridge and prepared to meet Zhao Ying. Shebin gathered the guards, but Handan Wu said: "I went to see the sect master, and I am not a rival in love." Besides, there would be no difference between a hundred people and one person in the sect master. He left the guests at the inn and set off with only two of his entourage.

After entering Zhao's mansion, Zhao Ying arrested him without even giving him a chance to speak, then stuffed him into a car and ordered someone to escort him to Jinyang immediately.

Before leaving, Handan said that he would be back in an hour, but there was still no trace of him until the third pole of the sun. Shocked, he hurried to the Zhao Mansion with twenty plainclothes warriors and asked to see their master.

Zhao Ying's retainer said: "Of course, please give your weapons to the servants, and then come with me!" ”

Shebin said angrily: "The Zhao family and the Handan family are brothers, how can anyone enter the brother's house and disarm?" Take us to the head of the house! ”

The retainers were also on fire, and he roared: "Even if the monarch of a small country wants to enter the door, he must obey the order of the sect master!" If you don't hand over your weapons, please leave! ”

The guests were furious and drew their swords; The other party did not show weakness and put his hand on the hilt of the sword. Just as he was about to make a move, Yang Hu walked out with his hands behind his back and pacing with a serious face. Yang Hu walked up to Shi Bin, stared at him with murderous eyes and said, "My master and your master have some personal grievances to settle, and he is already on his way to Jinyang." There is no point in you dying here, hurry back to Handan and set up a new master! ”

The worrying catastrophe has finally struck, and the situation is irreversible. Shi Bin has been meeting Yang Hu's gaze without flinching, he can stab Yang Hu to death with a sword (Yang Hu is still standing in front of him with his hands behind his back), but in addition to making all his own people die here, can an unexpected miracle happen?

Shibin calmly let go of his sword-gripping hand and turned away with his entourage. He rushed to Zhongxingyin's house and reported the emergency to him.

Zhong Xingyin was very angry, he was worried about his nephew's personal safety, but he couldn't help it. He was powerless to interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family, so he had to ask the guests to rush back to Handan as quickly as possible and make Handan Ji the patriarch; Then he ran into the palace to see Jin Dinggong.

But Zhao Ying entered the palace first, and was already talking to Jin Dinggong. Zhong Xingyin had to pace anxiously outside the room waiting to be summoned. Zhao Ying was idle with Jin Dinggong, and Jin Dinggong was also happy to listen to his nonsense, and did not show any boredom.

Seeing the sun's brilliance disappear from the sky, Zhao Ying got up and said goodbye. Jin Dinggong told him to come to the palace to chat with him if he was fine, and Zhao Ying agreed respectfully on the surface, but said in his heart, "I am not as idle as the prince." Zhao Ying met Zhong Xingyin when he walked out of the palace gate, and the two saluted each other with contempt and separated.

Zhong Xingyin reported to Jin Dinggong about Zhao Ying's unauthorized detention of Dr. Handan. Jin Dinggong said slowly: "Zhao Meng has already reported to the widow. Handan Wu provoked the Qi State for no reason, and went out to attack Qi without the orders of the widows, and he had already committed a big crime. Zhao Meng is the chief secretary, and it is his duty to try such cases. The widow can't interfere! ”

Seeing that the road of Jin Dinggong was blocked by Zhao Ying, Zhong Xingyin had no choice but to ask Shi Jishu for help.

Shijishu inherited his father's arrogance and grandfather's insidiousness, but he did not inherit the character of his great-grandfather (Shikuo) and the wisdom of Gaozu (Shihui). He had not yet achieved the fame of his father, and began to follow his father's methods and do all kinds of bad things.

As soon as Shi Jiji heard Zhao Ying's name, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and at the same time corrected Zhong Xingyin and said, "It's Father Zhi." "—Shi Ji also hates to call Zhao Ying by his father's name.

After listening to Zhong Xingyin's statement, Shi Ji asked, "What is the master going to do?" Are you planning to turn the Zhao family into the next Luan family? ”

Zhong Xingyin said: "If he dares to be unfavorable to Wu, of course I will eliminate the Zhao family." ”

Shi Ji said: "He is already bad for Wu. In fact, noon is not the key, Handan is. Zhi's father could not tolerate his master's control of Handan. ”

Zhong Xingyin said: "But Zhao's reputation is not comparable to Luan's, and he has a close relationship with Han and Wei. Get rid of Zhao Ying (Shi Ji interrupted: "It's Zhao Zhifu!") Zhifu is not a simple matter, we need to think long-term."

Shi Ji said, "All right, everything is at the master's command. But the Master should be quick to come up with a solution. ”
