Chapter 135: Pleading
Seeing that Diao Chan refused to get up, Hua Xing, who was sitting on the side, could only smile helplessly:
"Hehe, good! Then tell me, what kind of sin does the girl want to please? β
"Before pleading, the slave has two things to thank the general in advance!" Diao Chan said sincerely.
Just said that he wanted to ask for sin, but now it has become thank you, Huaxing immediately showed a confused look: "Thank me for what?" β
"First, the general not only helped my father-in-law complete his plan, but also ordered someone to send my father-in-law's body back to Luoyang for burial. For this great favor, the slave and maid will not be able to repay it for the rest of their lives. β
Speaking of this, he saw Diao Chan with tears in his eyes, turned around and bowed to Huaxing.
"The girl is serious!" Huaxing helped Diao Chan up for the first time:
"Don't hide it from the girl, Wang Situ's righteous act is very admirable. And if it weren't for Ling Zun sacrificing his life to help, Hua might have died in the hands of Lu Bu. So this little thing is nothing to worry about. β
Although Wang Yun was a Situ before his death, as the culprit of this case, Gao Shun and others hated him to the core.
Not to mention being buried in the ground, even if his body was thrown into the wilderness to feed the wolves, they would not feel relieved.
After Huaxing learned of this, he strongly admonished on the spot and proposed that Wang Yun's body be sent back to Luoyang and handed over to the little emperor Liu Xie for disposal.
There are two reasons for this:
First, although Wang Yun was the murderer of LΓΌ Bu, in any case, he was also a minister appointed by the emperor. Now that he is dead in Hongnong, disposing of the corpse like this is not only disrespectful to him, but also disrespectful to the royal family, which is likely to attract Liu Xie's dissatisfaction;
Second, Wang Yun, who is a first-class Situ, dared to go to Hongnong to assassinate Lu Bu, such a big thing, it is impossible to say that the little emperor did not know.
So in other words, Wang Yun is not the real culprit in this case, and the person who really wants to take Lu Bu's life is actually the current saint Liu Xie.
Wang Yun is just a courtier who gives advice and does it himself.
But the matter has come to this point, even if you guess the key point, it is useless, you can't let Gao Shun go to the little emperor to seek justice, right? If that's the case, Gao Shun will definitely have no return.
Therefore, in order to prevent similar tragedies from happening again, the best way now is to return Wang Yun's body to Liu Xie.
Ostensibly out of respect, the body was returned.
But in fact, it was also a shock, so as to inform the little emperor not to act rashly in the future, otherwise the consequences would be like Wang Yun!
As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Gao Shun to speak, Chen Gong made an extremely rare statement to support Huaxing.
He believed that what Hua Xing said was true, and that the body should be returned to Liu Xie as a warning.
Seeing that Huaxing and Chen Gong both suggested like this, although Gao Shun was unwilling, for the sake of the overall situation, he finally sent Wang Yun's body to Luoyang.
After learning the news, Diao Chan returned to Luoyang with the corpse caraver.
In the past few days, she has knelt in front of her father-in-law's mourning hall every day to keep a vigil for his old man's home.
It wasn't until last night that she heard a report from an informant saying that Huaxing was going to leave Hongnong the next day, that she hurried to meet Huaxing outside Hongnong.
"For adults, it can be a small thing. But for the little girl, sending her father's body home is a great grace. Therefore, please also ask the general to bow to the little girl again. β
Seeing Diao Chan bowing down again while speaking, Hua Xing hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a wry smile:
"I said, Miss Diao, can we stop kowtowing? If you want to bow like this again, I will ...... 'husband and wife' with you! β
Hearing the words "husband and wife worship", Diao Chan immediately blushed and lowered his head shyly.
The body that was about to bend down stopped in mid-air.
Seeing that the other party finally stopped worshipping, Hua Xing breathed a sigh of relief:
"Okay, I'll take your gratitude. That's over, right? β
Nodding slightly, I heard Diao Chan say slowly:
"Second, I know that General Gao was not arrested by me, and most of it was General Hua's efforts. For this, the little girl is also deeply grateful. β
Under the threat of Huaxing's "husband and wife worship", Diao Chan really didn't dare to worship anymore this time, so he knelt on the ground and gave Huaxing a look.
"Oh, that's what you're talking about?" Hua Xing waved his hand and chuckled:
"Actually, I didn't contribute much, the main reason is that General Gao is reasonable, I heard that you were also being used, so I didn't pursue it again, and the girl doesn't need to thank me."
Diao Chan knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for Huaxing to speak for him, no matter how reasonable Gao Shun was, it would be impossible to let go of his accomplice.
Therefore, she is full of gratitude to Huaxing in her heart.
But seeing that the other party refused to admit it, she didn't say anything more, and after smiling slightly, she started her today's plea.
"General Hua, you are very kind to your little daughter and father-in-law, but the two of us have been deceiving the general before...... Alas! Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't. The little girl has come to ask the general for her guilt today, and I am willing to accept any punishment. β
In order to help his father-in-law fulfill his long-cherished wish, Diao Chan promised Wang Yun a long time ago to help him plot against Huaxing and kill Lu Bu.
But people's hearts are flesh and blood, and Huaxing itself has some "special charm" that is not available in this era, so after so many days of contact, Diao Chan, who originally only wanted to attract each other, also quietly developed a good impression of Huaxing.
In this way, Diao Chan's mood has become extremely complicated.
She looks forward to meeting Huaxing every day, but at the same time she is afraid of meeting;
Every time they meet, she will be very happy, but after parting, she will feel deep guilt and remorse.
Sometimes, she really wants such days to end soon;
But when she thought of the end, it meant that Huaxing was going to war with Lu Bu, and she would be worried about it, and she didn't want this day to come too soon.
Therefore, during that time, Diao Chan's heart was really sweet and painful, full of contradictions and entanglements.
Until today, such painful days are finally over!
Now Diao Chan no longer has any scruples, and she can finally talk freely with Huaxing.
So, Diao Chan took today's opportunity to tell Huaxing all the secrets hidden in his heart.
"Actually, as early as the first time you and I met, it was the day when the slave maid performed the sleeve dance, and my father-in-law explained to me and asked me to communicate with you more......
"Later, seeing that the general refused the marriage offer, but seemed to be very fond of music, I came up with a way to attract the general with music......"
"The song "Unity is Strength" is not heard by slaves and maids occasionally, but someone made a special trip to learn it in order to attract the attention of the general......"
"And that time, the general invited me to dinner, and I deliberately chose Wang Ji Noodle Restaurant instead of Shengyue Tower or Honggu Pavilion, not because the slave maid really wanted to eat noodles, but because I was worried that I would meet General Lu in those two places, which would affect my father-in-law's plans......"
"And on the last day, the slave and maid were not snatched by General Lu at all, but sent by my father-in-law. Because he promised General Lu a long time ago that he would give me to the other party, in order to force the general to break into the Lu Mansion and kill the Lu thief......"
