Chapter 22: Aftermath

Zhao Yong is dead, and Zhang Hao still has to deal with the aftermath.

Zhao Zhong, the regular servant, can not care about it, the family is far away in Luoyang, and it is just an interest relationship with Yangzhong and the Zhao family in Jixian County, so he will not easily trouble Zhang Hao, and even if he wants to take care of it, he must first know that Zhang Hao did it.

And Zhao Yong only dared to deal with Zhang Hao unscrupulously by relying on the relationship between Yang Ending, so the problem now is how to deal with Yang Ending.

Zhang Hao instructed these people: "You bury these corpses, and deal with the blood stains cleanly." Tian Jian, come here. ”

"What does the lord command?"

"You bring Zhao Yong's head back, but just say it's my head, and then tell Yang Zhong that Zhao Yong has already gone to Liaodong first in order to hide people's eyes. And then when the sun finally departs, you come here again to inform me, do you understand? ”

"No, the villain understands."

"Well, it's okay to call yourself a subordinate in the future, and the villain looks like you're too humble. This is hardware, you go back and find a place for your family to settle down, and when this matter is over, you can take your family to Fang County, or you can go to another place to live again. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Tian Jian has never had so much money since he was a child. Although he betrayed Zhao Yong, it was also because Zhao Yong was unkind to him, and he insulted him, plus he wanted to survive. And Zhang Hao did not discriminate against himself, but took care of his family.

He is not an ungrateful person, and said to Zhang Hao: "My subordinates must complete the trust entrusted by the lord and swear to follow him in the future to repay the lord's kindness." ”

"Go ahead."

After Tian Jian left, Zhang Hao found a person about his own size from among the remaining people.

"You disguised yourself as me, took a few people with my letter to make a record at every city pass, and then rushed back to Fang County first. Do you understand? ”

"No."

With an alibi, even if others guessed that Zhang Hao did it, there would be no way to take Zhang Hao.

Besides, with the conditions at this time, by the time others knew that Yang Zhao Yong was dead, I am afraid that many months would have passed.

"It's still this place, I'm going to get rid of the last hidden danger of the end of the sun, so that the two in-laws can be reunited."

……

Zhao Mansion, Yang Zhong is chatting with Zhao Kun, the head of the Zhao family, at the moment, and Zhao Kun also knows what his son is doing when he goes out, and both of them are waiting for Zhao Yong to come back with news.

"Master, Tian Jian is back." A subordinate walked in to report.

"Got it, call him in."

"No."

Soon, Tian Jian walked in and saw that he was still holding a box in his hand.

"Back to my lord, my aunt, the matter has been done, and my son asked me to send things back. In order to hide people's eyes, he went to Liaodong first. ”

"Okay, show it to the old man."

Yang Zhong excitedly took the box from Tian Jian's hand, opened it, and saw that inside was a bloody and unrecognizable head.

Zhao Kun also saw it, and almost didn't vomit out his breakfast.

Holding back the discomfort in his stomach, he asked, "This, I can't recognize who it is." ”

Tian Jian replied: "This is indeed Zhang Hao, there is no doubt that Gongzi took me to intercept and kill Zhang Hao who was about to cross the river at the Gushui Ferry, and only cut off his head after destroying his face with his own hands, and then threw his body into Gushui." ”

Yang Zhong is not much better at the moment, but he agrees with what Tian Jian said.

Yi Ziyi's resentment towards Zhang Hao did such a move. It's just that according to the old man, it's a bit cheaper to do this, this little brute, hum. ”

Yang finally closed the box and asked Tian Jian again: "How was the on-site handling?" ”

"Everyone at the scene, including the boatman who witnessed the incident, died, and all the blood was washed away."

Zhao Kun said with a smile: "Hehehe, my son did this neatly, so that after a month or two, everyone can't find Zhang Hao, and his death will be announced, and then we will have nothing to do with it." ”

"Brother is right, Ziyi really didn't disappoint this time," Yang Zhong stood up and said, "This matter is over, then the old man should also go back to Liaodong, as a county guard, he will always not handle official affairs in the official office, or he will be gossiped about." ”

"Brother-in-law, take care, Yong'er will ask you to take care of it in the future."

"I am Ziyi's uncle, so I will naturally cultivate him."

……

The next day, Yang Zhong left Jixian with a team of 100 people and set off slowly. Half an hour after Yang finally left, Tian Jian also left Jixian on horseback, and made a detour to Gushui Ferry.

Two days later, Yang finally led the team to Gushui Ferry, looked at the calm water, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is where Zhang Hao's bones are buried, and if you offend me, this is the end, but unfortunately I couldn't see this scene with my own eyes.

Then a servant came up and said, "Sir, the ferry has landed, please board the boat." ”

There were three boats, and they were small boats that could only accommodate four or five people, so they crossed the river in batches.

Yang finally asked the servants to carry the luggage to the other side, and then he and a few guards boarded the ship again.

But when Yang finally arrived on the other side, the boatman did not go back, but just looked at himself and laughed, and the laughter was a little chilling.

"What are you laughing at?" One of the guards approached the boatman and questioned the boatman, but he took a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it into the guard's heart.

"Ahh With a scream, the guard fell to the ground, and in a few moments he was dead.

And Yang Zhong was also frightened by this sudden scene and took a few steps back, if it wasn't for the servant who helped him in the back, he almost fell to the ground.

"There are assassins, protect the master!"

Before a few of the guards could grab the assassin, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind them. More than a dozen cavalrymen soon surrounded them, led by Zhang Hao.

"Yang Taishou, don't come unharmed."

It's still the same opening remarks, but it scares Yang Zhong a lot.

"You! Aren't you dead? ”

"Hahaha, you old thing is still alive, how can I die."

"But the old man obviously saw ......" Yang finally realized the problem, Zhang Hao didn't die, so what was that head?

"Saw my head, don't you, think about it, if I'm still alive, who is the one who died? Hahaha. ”

At this moment, there was nothing more comfortable in Zhang Hao's heart than seeing the enemy's frightened expression.

"My nephew! Hmmm, poof! ”

Yang Qi was extreme, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted.

"Hmph, even if you faint, you're still going to die. Kill me! ”

At this time, those who did not come over on the other side were also attacked by another part of Zhang Hao's people, and they were suddenly in chaos.

Most of these people are some domestic servants, and when they encounter this kind of thing, they are either frightened in a daze or flee for their lives, and some of them directly kneel on the ground and bury their heads in front of their knees and surrender.

So after dealing with the recalcitrant guards, the battle was quickly over.

Yang Zhong has been woken up, this old man also has some scholarly bones, knowing that he will die, he did not beg Zhang Hao for mercy, but looked at him and said calmly: "Tian Jian, the old man wants to see him before he dies, and he has a question that he wants to ask him clearly." ”

"Tian Jian, Yang Taishou has something to ask you."

Tian Jian walked out from behind Zhang Hao and saluted Yang Zhong, "Auntie." ”

"Why did you rebel against your lord?"

"It's just because Zhao Yong regards me like a grass suke, and the lord regards me like an arm." Tian Jian replied lightly.

Yang Zhong was silent, his nephew Zhao Yong was indeed such a person, he never put people with lower status than himself in his eyes, even himself. Because this is a fact, it is impossible to argue.

Zhang Hao walked up to Yang Zhong with his saber and said flatly: "I'm not a person who loves to kill, but Zhao Yong wanted to put me to death three times and twice, and you, as an elder, didn't teach your junior well, but helped him in the back, that's why you are going to die today." You can't blame anyone else, you can only blame us for being enemies, and you didn't kill me, then you are the ones who died. ”

After speaking, Zhang Hao stabbed Yang Zhong's chest with a sword.

With still strength, Yang finally looked at Zhang Hao and said: "One day you will follow in the footsteps of the old man, and the old man will be waiting for you under the Yellow Spring." After saying that, he died of exhaustion.

"This curse won't work for me, I can promise it won't happen one day."

Zhang Hao turned around and said to everyone: "Deal with the scene, take these surrendered prisoners and supplies, and we will go back to Fang County." ”

……

Four months later, Xing Cao of the Assassin's Mansion came to see Guo Xun.

"My subordinates meet Lord Thorn."

Guo Xun raised his head, and when he saw that it was Xing Cao, he asked, "How is it, has Yang Taishou burned?" ”

"The history of the assassination has been found, but he is dead."

"I haven't heard from me for so long, and I think I'm dead." Guo Xun stood up, "Let's go out and talk as we walk, how did you find him?" ”

"Didn't it rain heavily a few days ago, the water level of Gushui rose and the water flow was turbulent. After the water level had dropped in the past few days, nearly fifty white bones were exposed in the washed land. Judging by the remaining clothing on the white bones, one of them was the bones of Yang Taishou.

It's just that after so long, it is unknown who killed them with what weapons, and this murderer is not easy to find. ”

Guo Xun doesn't care, a pro-eunuch Taishou will die if he dies, this kind of person should be said to die well, and a few more deaths will do.

"In that case, let's close the case with robbers killing people and robbing property."

At this time, a small official ran over and bowed: "Master Thorn Shi, I have been looking for you for a long time, the head of the Zhao family is here again, no matter how you persuade him, he refuses to leave." ”

Guo Xun also shook his head helplessly, this Zhao family is also a local family, and there must be their protΓ©gΓ©s among the officials who are on errands in the Assassin's Mansion.

He knew the news that the bones of Yang Zhong had been found, and he would definitely be told to Zhao Kun by a small official in the mansion. He ran out to avoid this annoying old guy, but he didn't expect people to rely on it.

"Let's go, let's see."

In the lobby, Zhao Kun stood still, his eyes full of anger and helplessness.

Ever since he learned that his son and brother-in-law were missing, and Zhang Hao appeared alive in Fang County, he knew that the two of them were more than lucky. Coupled with the fact that Tian Jian and the family members of the previous guards gradually disappeared, he became more and more sure that his son and brother-in-law were killed by Zhang Hao.

When he thought that the head that Tian Jian sent back was likely to be his son, he blamed himself for why he didn't recognize it. It's a pity that the head was thrown in a place by himself, and now he can't find it, he can't wait to take someone to Fang County to break Zhang Hao's body into pieces.

But he couldn't do it, if he blatantly troubled Zhang Hao, it would definitely be himself and the Zhao family who would die, after all, Zhang Hao was the palace of the imperial court.

Even against the Zhang family, Zhao Kun was powerless. In the past, when Yang was alive, it was okay, and the Zhao family was able to suppress the Zhang family everywhere, but now the power of the two families is not much different, and the clan elders in the family will not agree to him fighting to the death with the Zhang family because of a speculation without evidence.

Now he can only pray that the assassin Guo Xun will investigate thoroughly because he has killed a county guard.

After waiting for about half an hour, Guo Xun was late.

"Zaide, what are you doing here this time?"

Zhao Kun didn't care about Guo Xun's deliberate question, and replied: "Lord Assassin Shi, I heard that Yang Taishou's bones have been found?" ”

Guo Xun sat down and said unhurriedly: "Zaide's news is really well-informed, and this official has just known about it." That's right, I found it. ”

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

"What Gu Xingcao said, it should be robbers who killed people and robbed money. I also guessed this before, and told you about it. ”

Zhao Kun said unwillingly: "But I know that less than fifty corpses were found this time, why did the robbers kill people and rob money, but took so many people away?"

This shows that Zhang Hao did it. My son and Yang Taishou had a holiday with him before, so he ambushed them on the way back to Liaodong with my son and Yang Taishou, and took away those servants who did not die. Only he would do it. ”

Guo Xun coughed: "Ahem, please pay attention to the tone and attitude of the Zhao family master." You also said that the mouth is extinguished, the robbers can be Zhang County, why can't he take so many people? This official tells you that it is a serious crime to slander the imperial court, and this matter should not be said again. I don't blame the official for offending just now, so let's go."

Now there is really no hope, Zhao Kun walked out of the Thorn History Mansion in despair, suddenly glanced back, and secretly swore in his heart: Zhang Hao, Guo Xun, you wait, you will definitely regret today's incident in the future!
