Chapter 666: The Battle of Jin Liuqing (5)
Let's talk about the guests. He led his team to Handan day and night, and stopped thirty miles from the city. He asked his entourage to leave half a day after he left, and he continued on his way. Disguised as a pawn of a peddler, he slipped into the city gate at dusk, and then slipped into Handan's house through the back door, and reported to Handan Ji.
Handan Ji was worried about his father's safety, and couldn't help crying. Shibin accompanied him and shed tears for a while, and then said: "The minister can conclude that the traitor who framed the master is Handan Kai!" The news will spread throughout the city tomorrow, and then Handan Kai will jump out to compete for the position of patriarch. I ask my master to allow me to execute him on the spot!" ”
Handan Ji said: "No, my father's life and death are uncertain, I can't kill him yet, so there may be a turning point in this matter." Tomorrow it will be enough to subdue him and imprison him. ”
The next morning, Handan Ji summoned important clan officials and announced the news to them. Everyone, including Handan Kai, showed shocked expressions.
Handan Ji asked Handan Kai quietly: "Uncle, how do you think we should deal with the current situation?" ”
Handan Kai stammered: "The city cannot be left without an owner for a day. In view of the urgency and volatile nature of the situation, Handan needs a person with rich experience and experience to govern in order to cope with the crisis and tide over the difficulties. ”
Handan Ji continued to ask: "Who is this character in my uncle's mouth?" ”
Handan Kai said: "Let me temporarily preside over government affairs!" After the crisis has passed, divination is carried out, and the head of the family is determined according to the will of God. ”
Handan Ji said: "However, in the past few years, many bitter masters have complained to me that many good things will be messed up as long as they pass through your hands; This time my uncle sent an envoy to Xinjiang, and it was the same again. What does my uncle say about this? Handan fell into the hands of my uncle, will we also be unlucky with you? ”
Handan Kai was both annoyed and weak-hearted, he suddenly roared loudly, asking Handan Ji to explain his words clearly, otherwise he would be "not finished" with Handan Ji.
Handan Ji glanced at Shi Bin, and Shi Bin stood up and said: "I saw his old man Dong Anyu at Lord Zhao's house, and Dong Anyu told me that you framed the master and lied that the master betrayed the family, so as to seek the position of the head of the Handan clan. Do you think Zhao Ying trusts you and supports you as the patriarch? He's just trying to take advantage of you! Otherwise, why did he instruct Dong Anyu to reveal the truth to me? You idiot, you'd better die of this heart! ”
Handan Kai instantly turned into a statue, and everyone's eyes turned to him. He never thought that Zhao Ying would betray himself, and he felt that Shi Bin was cheating himself, but looking at the other party's indignant expression, it didn't look like it.
In the moments of his hesitation, people saw a look of panic and fear on his face, which was by no means the expression of an innocent person; As a result, his guilt was immediately confirmed.
Handan Kai jumped up and tried to flee, but those present rushed up and threw him to the ground. People ripped off his ceremonial crown and court clothes, punched and kicked him mercilessly, and the guests kicked his meaty garlic nose flat. If Handan Ji hadn't stopped it in time, that villain would have been killed on the spot.
Handan Kai struggled to get up, knelt a few steps and hugged his nephew's thigh, raised his big sweet potato head that was bleeding from his nose and mouth, stared at his big and small eyes full of "wisdom", and begged him to spare his life for the sake of the relationship between his uncle and nephew.
Handan Ji lowered his head and playfully asked him what crime he had committed; He said that Zhao Ying didn't like Handan Wu, so he ordered him to trick Handan Wu to Xinjiang. Shibin laughed at him and said, "You are quite honest this time, I just lied to you!" ”
Handan Kai was immediately annoyed, and he claimed that he could persuade Zhao Ying to release Handan Wu back, but even he didn't believe these words. Handan Ji didn't bother to see him again, and waved his hand to escort him down.
But in order to leave a way back for himself, Handan Ji deliberately let go of Handan Kai's son Handan Zuo, and he fled to Zhao Ying. Handan Zuo tearfully asked Zhao Ying to save his father's life; Zhao Ying asked a lot of details and said a lot of comforting words to him, and then sent him away. After Handan Zuo left, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile with Yang Hu who was present. Zhao Ying said: "Handan Kai's fate should be like this, who called him evil and stupid!" ”
On the issue of how to deal with Handan Wu, the Zhao family was very divided internally. Zhao Ying already knew that Handan Wu was wronged by Handan Kai, so he felt particularly embarrassed. Dong Anyu was inclined to take him as a hostage in order to contain the Handan clan; Yang Hu advocated his execution.
Yang Hu said: "The Zhongxing clan married the Handan clan in order to control Handan, and he will not give up a city for one person." Besides, if the Zhongxing clan doesn't love the Zhi clan, how can they love the Handan clan? The master can't turn back, and he can't make the same mistake as Shi Ying's detention of Le Qi. If you want to do it, you will do it to the end, without a moment of hesitation and a trace of pity. ”
Zhao Ying, who likes to solve problems by force, finally adopted Yang Hu's proposition.
In Jinyang, Handan Wu clamored to see Zhao Ying, but received no response. He wrote another long letter to Zhao Ying, and the letter was handed over to Zhao Ying through Yin Duo, the governor of Jinyang Yi, but still did not receive a reply.
The order to execute Handan Wu has finally arrived. When Yin Duo announced the order to him, he specially brought him a clean dress, allowed him to bathe and change his clothes, and invited him to a large meal. Handan ate the last lunch and asked Yin Duo: "Please tell me, what crime did I commit and ended up being forced to die?" Even if you are a slave, you have the right to know what you died for, right? ”
Yin Duo's eyes showed a look of great regret, and he said: "Handan Kai said that the master was disloyal to the Zhao family. On the other hand, I'm afraid it's because the master is the nephew of the Bank of China! ”
Only then did Handan Wu realize that he had been framed by the villain he trusted the most, and he said: "I didn't listen to the advice of the elder and my son, and I misused that miscellaneous, everything is my fault." But I asked the Master to convey a message to the Sect Master: 'I have never been unfaithful to my family!' 'The suzerain came up with a rebel, a rebellion, and single-handedly contributed to it. I am very sorry for this! ”
Yin Duo saluted him and withdrew, and soon someone sent in a piece of white silk, and Handan Wu used it to hang himself from the beam.
At this time, it was already May, and when the news reached Handan, the people were greatly saddened. Handan Ji gathered the people of the country and announced that Handan officially broke away from the rule of Xinjiang and established itself as a country; Then he gave Handan Kai a five-horse corpse alive, dragged his corpse out of different city gates, and threw it into the wilderness. Throughout the process, the Chinese kept in a state of excitement, constantly cheering at Handan Ji and cursing Handan Kai; After Handan Kai's body was dismembered, a large number of people followed the torture car and poured out of the city gate; As soon as the corpse was thrown out, the people rushed up and tore it apart.
