Chapter 281: The Death of Emperor Wu

After Li Dongsheng knew the truth, he did not appear as Han Ruixue and Chen Tingzhuo thought. He sighed and said slowly like an old man: "I know that my mother always thinks she is smart and thinks she is the most important, so together with my foolish and filial father, I accompanied my foolish grandfather, and was killed by that dog emperor, what do I have to be sad about?" ”

Han Ruixue always felt that Li Dongsheng's state was not as good as venting.

"What happened to that Ruiwu Emperor?" Li Dongsheng asked Chen Tingzhuo with a curious face like a passerby.

Chen Tingzhuo thought for a while and said: "Emperor Ruiwu was imprisoned by the new emperor, and only an old eunuch beside him, called Lu'an, took care of him, and the rest of the people couldn't see him. Thinking about him like this, it's better to be dead than comfortable. ”

Li Dongsheng nodded, but did not speak.

Looking at Li Dongsheng, who had grown up suddenly, Han Ruixue wanted to persuade him: "Dongsheng, your parents' wish is that you can be well, will you continue to do business with your little aunt in the future?" The two of us are going to open a lot of stores, not only in Dongrui and Xize, but also in other countries. Then you will be the youngest and most successful businessman in the world! Han Ruixue gave a great future.

Li Dongsheng nodded and said, "This is nature. What I'm most proud of is my ability to make money, and my grandfather now values me and our family. I'm going to continue to earn a lot of silver, so that even in the underground, my grandfather will look down on my father. He looked into the distance and said, "But before I do this, I'm going to do something else." Only when you are done can you do anything else. ”

"What's the matter?" Chen Tingzhuo asked a little anxiously, he was afraid that Li Dongsheng would not think of anything stupid.

"I'm going back to the capital." Li Dongsheng's tone softened, "The bones of my grandfather and my father and mother are going to be buried with my own hands." ”

"But," Chen Tingzhuo said with some reluctance: "It's been a long time. ”

Even now when I go back, I can't find anything.

"I know, little uncle." Li Dongsheng nodded and said, "Even if it is a failure, I will go once." ”

Chen Tingzhuo wanted to persuade again, but Han Ruixue said: "Xianggong will let him go!" "Returning to the capital is to fulfill a wish, and venting it after going is better for Li Dongsheng. Han Ruixue added a condition: "But you have to promise me." You can't go back alone. I'll have to find the right person to accompany you back. ”

Li Dongsheng has always listened to Han Ruixue's words, so he naturally agreed. Who should accompany Li Dongsheng back, Han Ruixue has already had a plan.

That is the Taiping Hou Han Tianye. Although he was an important minister of the former dynasty, he made great contributions in the process of establishing the Qing Dynasty. If only he could accompany Li Dongsheng back. Naturally, there is no danger.

Waited for a month. Han Tianye and Yu Wenqiong brought people to Baili Island.

It was Huo Gang who escorted them. The moment Chen Tingzhuo saw Huo Gang striding down from the boat, his expression was very exciting.

Han Ruixue stood aside and looked at his excited appearance. felt very ridiculous, Huo Gang had already become Chen Tingzhuo's heart knot.

Huo Gang behaved very neatly. After he saluted, he smiled at everyone and said, "I take the liberty of disturbing me, and I ask for your forgiveness."

Although Chen Tingzhuo was in a complicated mood, he still did not lose his demeanor, and he said politely: "General Huo has worked hard all the way, and we should be grateful." ”

The two of them did not behave like brothers who had been married in the slightest.

On the other side, Han Ruixue looked Yu Wenqiong up and down and said with a smile: "Mother, you haven't changed at all after so long. ”

Yu Wenqiong saw her daughter jumping around with her own eyes, and she was in a good mood, and she also smiled and joked to Han Ruixue: "You have changed a lot, now you have two sinking, right?" ”

This is too hurtful, Han Ruixue looked left and right, thanks to everyone chatting enthusiastically in a group, no one noticed that the two of them were talking.

But she didn't expect that Han Feng, who didn't know when she came over, echoed Yu Wenqiong and said: "Ruixue is not the good child she was now, she is pregnant and still thinks about eating seafood every day, and if she can't eat seafood, she gnaws on pig's trotters all day long, thanks to the many pigs on the island!" ”

In the past, Han Feng and Yu Wenqiong were rivals, but now when they meet again, they feel very cordial.

Han Feng worked on the island every day, and he was no longer the delicate Mrs. Hou before, and his voice was not ordinarily high.

When everyone else heard what she said, everyone burst out laughing.

Han Ruixue was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Huo Gang looked at Han Ruixue's shyness on the side, and only felt that his heart was about to melt.

On the way here, he imagined Han Ruixue's appearance, but he didn't expect her to be like this.

Han Ruixue's face is not as white as before, but it is a little honey-colored, and she looks healthier. People have also gained a lot of weight, and they are coquettish.

Huo Gang said with a smile: "I heard that pork here is expensive, even if you raise a lot of it, you can't afford to eat it every day." When I return to Beijing, I will buy more pig's trotters and send them over? ”

Before Han Ruixue could open her mouth to refuse, Chen Tingzhuo spoke: "No need, when it comes from the capital, the pig's trotters have already changed their taste." Ruixue is in a tight position now, and she can't eat anything that is not fresh. ”

The two of them were originally sworn brothers, and if they didn't see Han Ruixue, they would definitely be very affectionate, but now they have become two strangers.

Because of the relationship between Huo Gang and Chen Tingzhuo, everyone on the island naturally stood on Chen Tingzhuo's side, although they did not slack off on Huo Gang, they were just not enthusiastic.

Huo Gang naturally knew. After only two days, he was about to leave.

Before leaving, he went to find Chen Tingzhuo. Huo Gang asked very sincerely: "Gongzi Chen, I have something I want to discuss with you, I hope you can agree to me." ”

Chen Tingzhuo was a little awkward when facing Huo Gang.

Actually, Han Ruixue and Huo Gang knew him before. It's just that now that Han Ruixue is his wife and his children, he naturally doesn't want anyone to covet his wife.

So when facing Huo Gang, Chen Tingzhuo's mood was very complicated.

Today, Huo Gang came to beg him in a low voice. It made him a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? I will try to help if you say I can. Chen Tingzhuo said.

"I want to see Ruixue alone, and I want to make something clear to him." Huo Gang didn't drag the mud and said directly.

Chen Tingzhuo was stunned for a moment, but still agreed. Although he didn't tell Han Ruixue about Huo Gang again, he still knew what his wife thought. Some things can only be finished when they are clearly stated.

Huo Gang didn't expect Chen Tingzhuo to agree so happily, he said very gratefully: "I often think that if the two of us met early, we would definitely become good brothers." ”

Chen Tingzhuo nodded and didn't say much. Now, no matter what, they will not be good brothers, and it is useless to talk about it now, but it will only add to the troubles.

I usually go for a walk on the beach with Chen Tingzhuo. Today it was replaced by Huo Gang. Han Ruixue was a little surprised.

But she immediately smiled and said: "I also said, why is Chen Tingzhuo so romantic today, and he will ask someone to ask me to meet at the beach!" ”

Huo Gang smiled and said, "I went to him and wanted to chat with you." And he agreed. ”

After saying that. Huo Gang didn't know what to say next. To Han Ruixue. He has a thousand words, and he has thought about it countless times in his head, but when they actually meet. But he couldn't say a word.

Han Ruixue was not as entangled as Huo Gang. Although she had some entanglements with Huo Gang in the past, it was many years ago, and now she is going to marry Huo Gang, and the previous things are not a thing.

"Thank you for my father's affairs!" Han Ruixue said with a smile.

Huo Gang immediately shook his head and said, "I also wanted to come out for a walk, so I came to Baili Island with them." ”

Han Ruixue said: "I thank you for preserving them during the war." ”

was about to say the prepared words, but seeing Han Ruixue's smiling eyes, Huo Gang couldn't say a word. She is so smart, she naturally understands everything, and saying so many excuses for self-deception is just to make her laugh at him in her heart.

"I always feel that I couldn't live with you a lot of things before, and now I want to do something for you." Huo Gang finally mustered up the courage to say what he had been struggling with, "I often think that if everything can go back to the way it was, it will not be like this." "Han Ruixue will be his wife, and he will not live in remorse from time to time like now, always imagining how this could not have happened before.

Han Ruixue waved her hand and said with a smile: "Brother Huo, don't say that, let alone think like this. Haven't you heard a word? A loss may turn out to be a gain? The choices of the past are not necessarily the best, and the current situation is not necessarily the worst. You are in the prime of life now, who knows what will happen in the future? ”

I don't know why, after hearing these words, Huo Gang felt extremely disappointed.

It turned out that what he had been struggling with, Han Ruixue had already taken it as a matter of fact, and he had to comfort himself with such words.

If Han Ruixue still hates him, will he feel a lot better?

He had prepared so many words of apology, but now it was useless.

Huo Gang felt that now he should find an excuse to leave.

"Brother Huo, I have something I want to ask you." Han Ruixue opened her mouth with a smile, as if she hadn't noticed Huo Gang's emotions at all.

"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, I will do it. Huo Gang forgot his lost emotions just now.

"When you go back to Beijing this time, take Li Dongsheng with you." Han Ruixue said, "He is the only surviving child of Wuhou Mansion." He wanted to return to Beijing to bury his family. Originally, I wanted my dad to accompany him back. But now that you're here, I think it's more appropriate for you to take him back! ”

Although I don't know what Li Dongsheng will do when he returns to Beijing, Han Ruixue always feels that it is not as simple as just burying the bones, so he still has to entrust Li Dongsheng to someone who can protect him well.

Even if he really committed something, there was someone who could protect him.

Originally, Han Ruixue wanted Han Tianye to follow him on a trip, but now that she saw Huo Gang, she felt that Huo Gang was a more suitable candidate.

Now that Huo Gang is in power, even if the new emperor is not at ease with him, he must show absolute trust now.

Huo Gang naturally agreed.

"Brother Huo, this farewell, I don't know when we will be able to meet." Han Ruixue said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to feel guilty about me at all, but I am full of gratitude to you." If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be where I am today. If you want to go back to the capital, I have nothing to give you, so I can only say that I cherish it. ”

Although having said that, Han Ruixue asked Li Dongsheng to transfer Huo Gang's silver ticket of 50,000 taels of silver.

Although she doesn't know much about the things in the court, it is absolutely true that a big man like Huo Gang must need silver.

After Li Dongsheng returned to the capital with Huo Gang, the first thing he did was to find the place where the body was dumped in the Wuhou Mansion and collect all the bones.

Originally, it was impossible to distinguish, but thanks to a team of loyal old servants of Wuhou, not only did they simply bury these people of Wuhou, but also simply marked them.

Although he couldn't bury it with fanfare, Li Dongsheng still chose a feng shui treasure place and buried the Wuhou people.

He knelt in front of the grave for three days, and no one could pull him away, and finally Huo Gang came in person and dragged him away.

Later, Li Dongsheng became much more normal, he always walked around the street alone, or went to Wuhou Mansion to sit for a while.

He always doesn't let his subordinates follow, and he goes alone.

After Huo Gang finished this time, he remembered that he hadn't seen Li Dongsheng for a long time.

Chen Sansian knew that Li Dongsheng had come back from a hundred-mile island and wanted to go to see him and talk.

So he went to Wuhou Mansion with Huo Gang to find Li Dongsheng.

There was no one in Wuhou's mansion, the wild grass had grown very tall, and the tiles on the eaves had peeled off a lot. There were crows flying overhead.

Chen San sighed and sighed: "I really didn't expect that the famous Wuhou Mansion would become like this. ”

Huo Gang sighed and said, "How can Emperor Ruiwu be so mediocre. The ministers of the DPRK and China, no matter who rebelled, it would not be the Marquis of Wu! ”

There are many courtyards in Wuhou's mansion, and the two of them can only find people one by one.

I searched for most of the yard, but I didn't see any trace of Li Dongsheng.

"Didn't he sit in the Wuhou Mansion today?" Huo Gang said a little strangely.

Chen San sighed calmly, and he said softly: "Let's look for it again, he may have touched the scene and ran to a remote place." ”

In the most remote backyard of Wuhou Mansion, they found Li Dongsheng.

After Huo Gang pushed the door open, the scene inside stunned both of them.

Li Dongsheng sat on the ground, holding a knife in his hand, and Emperor Ruiwu was lying on the ground covered in blood, already dying.

Seeing them, Li Dongsheng smiled and said, "Are you here?" I was one last blow away from slaying him. ”

Chen San sighed at the smile on Li Dongsheng's face, and only felt cold all over. (To be continued.) )
