Chapter 62: Gao Fan is dead
After sending Han Yu away, Lin Xiong felt that his back was soaked with sweat, looked at He Chong, who was also worried, and said, "Do you think this Han Xiaozhi will really take the bait?" ”
He Chong couldn't help but be worried at the moment, and even a little annoyed, just burying his head and walking.
"Don't be discouraged, the situation is changing right now!" Lin Xiong's voice was a little hoarse, and he said word by word, "As the old saying goes, if you can't break it, you can't stand it, only in this way can we solve the current situation in Daxu!" ”
"Then you shouldn't tell him anything about disarmament......," He Chong replied with a lamentation, "Isn't this the water that leads to disaster?" ”
"Hey!" Lin Xiong seemed unimpressed, and replied righteously, "This disarmament is not a temporary matter of His Majesty's intention, you also said before, which of them has not planted a few eyeliners in the capital?" Since it can't be concealed, it is simply brought out. That Han Xiaozhi is shrewd like a fox, if there is nothing real, how can he believe it? ”
"Shiyuan, do you really think Han Xiaozhi believes it?" He Chong's eyes flashed sharply, "You deliberately showed your feet just now, although he and Na Xu Feng guessed that you led the assassination last night." But I always felt that he still hadn't guessed, or rather...... He's been trying to convince himself not to believe it! ”
Lin Xiong suddenly stopped, slowly closed his eyes, as if he was gathering his courage and wisdom, and it took a long time before Gege sneered, "Then let's find a way to add another fire, so that he has to believe!" ”
"Shiyuan!" He Chong suddenly looked at Lin Xiong with a solemn face, "You tell me the truth!" Are you really doing all this for our Daxu? ”
"Of course!" Lin Xiong replied with a smile without thinking, "We have been friends for many years, when did I lie to you!" ”
After He Chong got Lin Xiong's affirmative reply, Fang Cai breathed a long sigh of relief, "Xiaozhi is very smart, if you want him to fully believe it, we must grasp the scale of everything, otherwise I am afraid that we will steal chickens and rice!" ”
Lin Xiong nodded, but suddenly asked, "Did you say he would enter the palace immediately?" ”
"At this moment?" He Chong thought for a while, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "I guess not." First, the loyalty that filial piety has always shown is not enough for him to enter the palace in a hurry just for the sake of disarmament; Second, there was such a big disturbance last night, Feng Tai is bound to try his best to explain and clarify with him, according to Feng Tai's brain, it is estimated that he can probably guess something, how dare he let Xiaozhi enter the palace? ”
"Then we have to find a way to get him into the palace early!" Lin Xiong's face became gloomy, and he said to himself with a cold look in his eyes, "It's a pity that my left arm is seriously injured, and it will definitely backfire if I assassinate again...... I have to find another way to convince him ......"
He Chong also raised his head and thought for a long time, according to Han Yu's meticulous thoughts, if he didn't take care of the proportions, it would only backfire.
But Han Yu said that as soon as he returned to the inn, he went to visit Gu Yuexi as soon as he returned to the inn, and saw that she was still asleep and had not woken up, and heard that there was movement downstairs in the inn, so he immediately quietly went out of the house to check.
"The Great General......
Li Ping didn't have time to salute Han Yu, and hurriedly replied with a panicked expression, "Gao Fan is dead!" ”
"What?!"
When Han Yu heard this, he was caught off guard and almost fell down, but fortunately Xu Feng helped him from behind.
"Where did you find it?!" Han Yu kept trying to calm himself down, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly asked, "Who did it!! ”
Li Ping glanced at Han Yu, and the pale Zhiwu replied, "Jingzhou...... The people of Jingzhou Yamen...... ...... found in the river There are no signs of a fight on his body, so he should have accidentally stumbled at night...... Drowned......" After that, Li Ping's eyes were already full of tears, and he lowered his head and couldn't bear to continue.
"Have you done it?" Han Yu endured his grief and asked with his eyebrows locked in his squatting body.
"I've tested it...... I accompanied the people of the yamen to test the ......" Li Ping's voice was already hoarse and choked.
"What about his mother?" Han Yu squatted on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up, "Is the old man in a better mood?" ”
Li Ping shook his head and lamented, "The madness is getting worse and worse, and I almost ate the copper coins given to her as steamed buns......"
Han Yu also let out a long sigh and said, "This might be a good thing...... At least you don't have to go through the pain of losing a child again......"
"Then Feng Tai really should be cut with a thousand cuts!" Li Ping gritted his back molars and clenched his fists with hatred, his eyes were already red, and his face was hideous with murderous intent.
"Feng Tai......" Han Yu muttered these two words heavily, and suddenly said to Li Ping, "Since you are Gao Fan's hair, his funeral will be handed over to you to manage, and his old mother must be settled!" ”
Li Ping nodded and took the order, and after receiving more than 30 copper coins brought by Xu Feng from the army, he immediately left the inn.
"General......" Xu Feng saw Li Ping leaving, and immediately whispered, "Let's look at this matter again today, I'm afraid it's really not Feng Tai'...... doing."
"Yes......" Han Yu's eyes sank, "If it wasn't Feng Tai's doing, then this thing would be really terrible......"
After Li Ping arranged Gao Fan's funeral and settled Gao Fan's old mother, it was midnight when he returned to the inn.
Because he knew that Han Yu was staying in the hotel, Jingzhou Yamen did not dare to disturb him, so he replaced the doors and windows of the inn at his own expense, and the tables and chairs in the house were also re-established, and good people were specially arranged to come to deliver food, wine and meat every day.
This inn now seems to have become Han Yu's personal residence, and there is a special person to arrange food, accommodation and cleaning for him every day.
As soon as Li Ping returned to the inn, he saw Han Yu and Xu Feng sitting opposite each other, but the wine and food on the table did not move.
"Ziyuan is back." When Han Yu saw Li Ping coming back, he began to move his chopsticks and said, "Since you already know that the assassination was not done by Feng Tai, then you don't have to be guarding outside the house every night, so it's better to rest early." ”
"But," Xu Feng replied with a solemn face, "I always feel that this series of things is too strange and too perfectly fitted......
Han Yu suddenly stopped his chopsticks, looked up and said to Xu Feng, "Go on!" ”
"Hmmm......"
Xu Feng frowned, staring at the flickering oil lamp and thinking for a while, "I don't know how to describe it, it's like someone is behind us guiding us step by step, but I don't want us to guess easily...... Whether it was the assassination that night or the drowning of the man named Gao Fan today, it gave me a feeling of wanting us to do something......"
Han Yu didn't make a sound when he heard this, but just turned his head to look at Li Ping, who was full of confusion.
Lin Xiong...... Feng Tai...... Jingzhou Yamen ...... Gao Fan...... And ......" Xu Feng frowned and tried to connect all these things and characters, and suddenly remembered what Lin Xiong said during the day, "disarmament", and immediately almost screamed, looked at Han Yu in horror, and muttered, "Is it ......"
Seeing that Xu Feng also seemed to have guessed something, Han Yu immediately shook his head and interrupted, "Wait until you're done eating, let's talk about it in the house!" ”
On the second watch, the wind whistled outside the house, the oil inside the house was swaying, and Li Pingli stood guard outside the house.
"General......" Xu Feng lowered his voice and whispered with a frightened face, "If it's really him behind his back...... So what do we do? ”
Han Yu's gloomy gaze stared at the swaying oil, but he replied a little sluggishly, "It's all just speculation...... If that's the case, I'll have to figure out what he's doing it for! ”
"But ......" Han Yu immediately shook his head again, "But I always feel that something is wrong!" Why did he kill Gao Fan? And why did he kill his whole family so brutally? But there is only one living old mother left, just because she has gone crazy when she sees her? ”
"Yes......" Xu Feng listened to it, and nodded suspiciously, "If it's just to blame Feng Tai, why spend so much time on Zhou Zhang?" ”
"Could it be ......" Han Yu was suddenly stunned, "Could it be that there is someone on the other side behind it?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Feng's hairs stood on end, but his mouth was wide open under his shocked expression. After hurriedly slowing down, Fang continued, "If that's the case, then this Jingshi can't stay for a moment!" Let's leave for camp now! ”
"Useless ......" Han Yu shook his head with a wry smile, "If you go back when you first come to Jingshi, maybe it's okay." But now that Feng Tai has colluded with the allied forces of various countries to storm the Nanda Battalion, if I go back at this time, I will not only fall into the murderous crime of leaving my post without permission and causing heavy losses to the Nanda Battalion, but also let Feng Tai write to His Majesty to treat me for a heinous crime of entering Beijing without authorization! These two crimes are punished together, it doesn't matter if my head moves, but in this way, Nanda Camp will fall into the hands of others! What face should I have to go to the bottom of the Nine Springs to see the first emperor! ”
"Then you can't let the general wait for death in this Jingshi!"
Seeing that Xu Feng looked a little indignant, he stood up excitedly. Han Yu immediately sighed, "If Yun Fu and Wen Qian can retreat from the enemy army, we will have no worries in the capital division!" ”
"Didn't that Lin Xiong say that His Majesty is in the palace today? Let's go directly to the palace tomorrow and ask for clarification! Xu Feng felt that instead of being manipulated like a fool behind his back, it was better to take the initiative to seize the initiative.
When Han Yu heard this, he lamented again, "We can't enter the palace's ......"
But he still patiently explained to Xu Feng, "First, no matter whether Your Majesty is in the palace or not, we all entered Beijing without following the holy decree, wouldn't we directly let Your Majesty directly punish us?" Second, if, according to Lin Xiong, Your Majesty is really in the palace, let's go into the palace to face the saint, doesn't it make Your Majesty suspect that we entered Beijing without authorization for the sake of disarmament? In this way, no matter what point it is, the southern camp will be doomed! ”
"So what are we going to do now?" Xu Feng was really anxious at the moment, and paced back and forth in the room with some annoyance.
Han Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at the oil lamp for a long time before he said, "If I'm not mistaken, something so big has happened, Feng Tai should come to me soon......"
"Wait for him?" Xu Feng stopped, hurriedly shook his head and said, "He has always wanted the general's life, we can't point to him!" ”
Han Yu smiled slightly, "If his guess is correct, not only will he not kill me at this moment, but he will do everything he can to win me over!" And the answer we want to know may only be found by him! ”
Although Xu Feng still wanted to say something, he saw Han Yu's expression so determined, and his confident expression at this moment couldn't help but remind himself of Han Yu's appearance when he was in the army, and whenever he was facing a great enemy, he had no choice but to give up and say no more.
