The day after Han Zhan returned home, he received a letter from Zhao Yuntuo, asking him to meet at the wine house in the north of the city.

Pear Flower sat next to Han Zhan, tilted her head and read the contents of the letter, then asked curiously, "Childe, who is this Zhao Yun?" Why did he ask you to meet, and did he know you well? ”

Han Zhan casually put the letter on the several cases in front of him, turned his head and said to Lihua: "This Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are your son-in-law's life-saving benefactor, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to see me." ”

When Pear Blossom heard Han Zhan say this, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and it took a long time before she asked, "Male... Childe, you... You just said... What, he's you... Your savior? ”

"That's right," Han Zhan nodded and said, "Yuan Shao's army and I camped on the banks of the Zhangshui River on the way back to Jizhou because of the heavy rain. Little did I know that the next morning, three Assassins, posing as men from the house, came to bring breakfast to my uncle and me. …… Fortunately, Zilong intervened in time and killed three assassins, so that your son-in-law and I saved my life. ”

Han Zhan said it lightly, but Pear Blossom's eyes suddenly turned red. Although he had carefully checked his body when he was bathing Childe yesterday evening, at this moment, when he heard that he had encountered an assassin, Rika suddenly panicked, and talked about Han Zhan's clothes and carefully checked them to see if there were any scars left on his body.

Pear Blossom's concern for herself touched the softest place in Han Zhan's heart. He grabbed Rika's hands, shook his head gently, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Rika, I'm not hurt." I was just afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't mention this to you last night. ”

"Childe," Pear Blossom grabbed Han Zhan's hand tightly, and said with some emotion, "You can take Pear Blossom to the wine house to see General Zilong later." I want to kowtow to him personally and thank him for saving Childe's life. ”

Han Zhan raised his right hand, wiped the tears from Lihua's cheeks with his thumb, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, Zilong asked me to meet, there must be something important to discuss, if you go, he will feel restrained." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, do you remember that I was in Jizhou and had a grudge against whom?" ”

"With whom do you have a grudge?" Rika had a confused expression on her face: "Why did Childe say this?" ”

"That's right," Han Zhan wanted to use Pear Blossom to find out whether the previous owner of the body had made enemies in Jizhou, so that the scope of detection could be effectively narrowed: "The fact that I was assassinated, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, and even Chun Yuqiong, who had a conflict with me, can be ruled out." According to everyone's analysis, the assassin who assassinated me should be from Jizhou City, that is to say, the mastermind of this matter is still hidden in Jizhou. ”

Pear Blossom frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Pear Blossom really can't think of what kind of enemies Gongzi will make in Jizhou City." Although you are the son of the prince, you never bully others, even if you are not friends all over the world, you will never make enemies with anyone. When she said this, she paused for a moment, glanced at the closed door, and lowered her voice and asked, "Childe, did you say that the assassin was going to assassinate Mr. Xun, and you just happened to be there?" ”

"No way, this can't be." Han Zhan continued: "At that time, an assassin took my uncle hostage, put a steel knife on his neck, and threatened us to lay down our weapons and let him leave safely. If they really went for my uncle and slaughtered him with a knife, wouldn't it be easy?! ”

……

……

Han Zhan originally thought that the wine house where Zhao Yun asked him to meet had no signboard, and he had to look for a long time to find it in the north of the city. Who knew that after I went, I saw a two-story house outside, a banner fluttering in the wind, and a big word "wine" was written on it.

When he came to the door and dismounted, a shopkeeper immediately greeted him, took the reins of the horse in his hand, and tied his hands and feet to the stake of the horse. Han Zhan took out a small bag from the sleeve of his robe, which contained twenty five-baht coins, and threw it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the bag, reversed the weight, and immediately nodded and said, "Childe, please, there is a private room on the second floor!" ”

Han Zhan followed the guy up to the second floor, and immediately saw Zhao Yun sitting in the corner, and hurriedly waved his hand at the other party. When Zhao Yun saw Han Zhan coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yun has seen Gongzi!" ”

Han Zhan waved his hand and said a little unnaturally: "Okay, Zilong, don't call me Gongzi anymore, now Jizhou is not surnamed Han." After they both sat down, he asked, "Zilong, I don't know what is the important matter of asking me to come here today?" ”

Zhao Yun looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Childe, after careful investigation, Yun has a little bit of an eyebrow about the assassin's mastermind. ”

"Oh, the Assassin thing?" Hearing Zhao Yun say this, Han Zhan was really happy and worried. I am glad that one thing that has been bothering me for so long has finally come to the point of breaking down; But at the same time, I am worried that the other party will be the person next to me. "Who is the other party, Zilong quickly tell me and listen."

Zhao Yun didn't answer Han Zhan's question immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Yun wants to ask, Gongzi is in Jizhou City, does he have an enemy?" ”

"No," Han Zhan replied with a shake of his head, "There shouldn't be any enemies in Jizhou." ”

"Last night, a subordinate came to report to Yun Yu, saying that he heard that two people who looked like family members mentioned the matter of buying murderous assassinations after getting drunk. My subordinate was a subordinate of Chief Rosh, and when I heard the two of them say this, I paid attention. I only heard the other party say: the whereabouts of the three assassins sent first are unknown, and no one is alive or dead; Now even the leader of the Assassins is gone. ”

Hearing this, Han Zhan immediately realized that he was not far from the truth, because many soldiers in the army did not know how many assassins he had killed, not to mention the people who were far away in Jizhou at that time. He hurriedly asked, "Zilong, have your subordinates figured out whose family these two family members are?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded and continued: "After the two of them left, my subordinates followed him and followed him to an official eunuch's house. ”

"The eunuch's family?" Han Zhan wondered: "I don't seem to have offended any official, why would the other party hate me to the core, and even send assassins to assassinate me?" ”

"I followed my subordinates to check there today, and it just so happened that I also know the owner of the mansion." Zhao Yun's expression suddenly became serious: "The other party is the capital official engaged in Zhu Han!" ”

"The capital official is engaged in Zhu Han!" After hearing Zhao Yun's name, Han Zhan's eyes suddenly widened. After a while, he slapped heavily on the low table in front of him, and said as if he had just woken up from a dream: "I understand who is behind the scenes, it turns out that he is the mastermind." ”

And when Zhao Yun heard Han Zhan's brainless words, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Childe, who do you say he is?" How can you be sure that he will be the mastermind behind the scenes? ”

Han Zhan hurriedly told Zhao Yun in detail about the incident of a woman who was buying medicine on the road that day and was molested by Zhu Zhen, and finally said: "Since the assassination incident, I have been thinking about it repeatedly, considering whether I have offended anyone. Sadly, I've had a lot of suspicions, but none of them are really behind it. Only this Zhu Zhen is the most suspicious. ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Zhao Yun immediately assured Han Zhan: "I will send someone to monitor the mansion where the capital officials are engaged to see if there are any clues from them." Once it is confirmed that this Zhu Gongzi is the mastermind behind the scenes, I will report to you immediately. After speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Han Zhan.

Han Zhan said with a smile: "Zilong, since we have come to the wine house, we can't leave without eating or drinking." Anyway, we know where the opponent lives, and it's not too late to arrange manpower when we are full of wine and food. ”
