Chapter 106: Eight Hundred Miles Urgent
For the next two days, the case of Zhang Kui's murder was completely put aside, as if it were sunk into the sea. But the eldest son Su Chang returned directly to the last city of the West Route Army after the investigation of the Northern Route Army, but the second son Su Yi was locked up in the mansion and was not allowed to go out, and people seemed to have guessed some clues.
Zhang Shumo didn't know if it was his own words that made Su Han think that Su Yi was the mastermind behind the scenes, so Su Han made such a decision. So in the past two days, Zhang Shumo asked to see Su Han twice, but was refused. This made Zhang Shumo feel a little uneasy in his heart, and regretted that he should not have arbitrarily judged that Su Yi was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Chen Lin saw Zhang Shumo walking around the room, and asked him with a smile: "Zhang Shumo, what's wrong with you looking preoccupied?" Could it be that he is worried about the second son? ”
Zhang Shumo thought for a while and replied: "It's not okay to worry about the second son, I'm just worried that the real murderer will get away with it." There are so many strange things about this that I am afraid that the people behind the scenes have other plans. ”
"So you've concluded that the second son is not behind the scenes?" Chen Lin asked seriously.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but sneer: "Listening to Brother Chen's words, do you suspect the second son?" ”
Chen Lin smiled slightly: "I didn't mean that, Brother Qin said so, I can't afford it." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Shumo quickly diverted the topic: "Mr. Chen, do you know what day it is?" How do I see the atmosphere in the city in the past two days, I heard from the caravans that the inspection of entering and leaving the city has become stricter. ”
"Today is the day for Your Majesty to pay tribute to the first emperor. Every year on October 27, His Majesty will go to the Taimiao Temple to pay tribute to the emperors of our dynasty, and today is a big day for the royal family. ”
Zhang Shumo frowned: "Then what does this have to do with the General's Mansion?" It seems that the old man cares about today's day very much. ”
Chen Lin thought for a while: "General Xu doesn't want to have anything wrong today, after all, it is a day that the royal family cares about." ”
Zhang Shumo nodded: "Maybe, I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so knowledgeable and even remember such days." ”
Chen Lin smiled disapprehantly: "I was a ceremonial officer before I came to the General's Mansion, and I know a lot about special days. ”
At this time, Peng Mao in the back room suddenly walked out, looked at the three of them and asked thoughtfully: "Even if today is special, the general seems to care a little too much." Yesterday I saw him summon the county guard Liang Jia into the mansion, and the two of them stayed in the study for a long time, and then the garrison in the city was much stricter. ”
The three of them didn't dare to talk after hearing this, Zhang Shumo thought to himself, you don't know about the general, how can we know? It's just that the general really cares too much, and it really makes people suspicious.
Several people ended the conversation in an embarrassing atmosphere, and in the next few days, Xu Liang was still heavily guarded in the city, and even the common people found out about the abnormality, and there were rumors in the city that there was going to be a war, which made people panic.
The people in the Cao Yuan were also quite puzzled by this, and everyone wanted to see Su Han several times but were refused, and Su Han directly announced that he would no longer discuss matters in the near future, so that everyone in the General's Mansion stayed honestly step by step. And Su Han himself walked around the mansion every day, a little restless, as if he was waiting for someone or something.
In the afternoon of this day, everyone endured another long day in the General's Palace, and people left the General together. As soon as Zhang Shumo and the others arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, they saw a fast horse galloping towards the General's Mansion from a distance.
"Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited!" The guards on the horses shouted as they rode their horses, and the people on the road gave way.
Zhang Shumo and the others exchanged glances, Su Han was walking around the mansion anxiously these days, was he waiting for this?
When the guards were about to arrive at the general's mansion, they began to slow down, and the subordinates hurriedly ran over to take the reins, and the guards directly turned over and dismounted, rushed into the mansion unceremoniously, and continued to shout: "General Su, eight hundred miles urgent!" ”
Several people at the door looked at each other, Peng Mao's eyebrows were twisted together, and finally gritted his teeth and walked towards the mansion. Seeing this, everyone followed.
Su Han heard the shouts of the guards, and rushed out in three steps and two steps, and at this speed he couldn't tell that he was already an old man over half a hundred years old.
When the guards saw Su Han hurriedly handing over the letter, Su Han unceremoniously snatched it over, tore open the envelope and looked at it in the courtyard. At this time, the others hurried over and stood behind the guards, waiting for Su Han to finish reading the letter.
After reading the letter, Su Han couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, laughing heartily. After laughing, Su Han looked at the stunned crowd and turned around and walked to the hall.
When they saw this, they hurried after them. Su Han came to the hall, sat down on the chair mountain, picked up the teacup and drank it all, and then slammed the teacup on the ground!
Everyone was startled, and they all looked at Su Han and didn't dare to speak. Su Han glanced around, and then said slowly: "There is an urgent letter of eight hundred miles from the capital, Prime Minister Zhang Lu took advantage of the time when His Majesty took the children of the royal family to Taimiao to rebel, and the forbidden army of less than 5,000 people around His Majesty was scattered by Zhang Lu's 100,000 army, Your Majesty's whereabouts are now unknown, and life and death are uncertain!" ”
"What!" Everyone was stunned after hearing this, Zhang Shumo was even more unsteady on his feet, and took half a step back, but fortunately he was supported by Qin Sheng beside him.
At this moment, Zhang Shumo couldn't hear other people's voices at all, and his mind was full of Su Han's words: Zhang Lu rebelled? How could Dad rebel? 100,000 troops, how long has Daddy been planning? At this time, Zhang Shumo suddenly remembered what Zhang Lu said to him when he was leaving, so it seems that every sentence of his father's words at that time was something in his words.
No wonder Daddy said that he had a hard time, no wonder he let himself live well no matter what happened, no wonder he wanted to find a backer for himself, no wonder he wanted to hold a funeral for himself, it turned out that all this was planned by him a long time ago!
Daddy wanted to rebel, and what he was most worried about was that he would face a desperate situation of being beheaded after the rebellion failed, so he simply held a funeral for himself and sent himself to Thanh Hoa City. In this way, even if he fails in his rebellion, his bloodline as the Zhang family can survive, and he held a funeral for himself to save his life!
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo suddenly felt a sour nose, but he understood that he couldn't shed tears yet, because his identity was not yet exposed.
At this time, Zhang Shumo regained his senses, and he looked at Su Han. Judging from Su Han's performance, he must have known his father's plan, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about the days of royal ancestor worship. It seems that my father came to Xu Liangjun this time in the name of condolences not only to see him, but also to discuss the rebellion with Su Han, and I don't know what they discussed.
