Chapter 165: One Family, Two Lives
That Dong Er was messing around in the neighborhood, knowing that he would definitely be caught if he rushed to the city gate and wanted to get out of the city, so he could only find a place to hide now. But where can you hide...... Back then, it was not easy to flee from Hedong all the way to Tokyo, and it was not easy to beg for food, and now you have to hide from being found out to find food?
Unless it is someone who is able to shield it! In a hurry, Dong Er remembered that he was asked about Li Xia'er by the people in the government a few days ago, and faintly heard the official messenger say that the general Guo Shao was assassinated, which may be related to Li Xia'er; There have been some discussions in the house in the past two days...... That Li Xia'er often went in and out of Zhao Sanlang's side, and Dong Er felt that the person who plotted to kill the general Guo Shao might be related to Zhao San.
He didn't think much about it, since Guo Shao and Zhao San had an enmity...... Then I'll help Guo Shao kill the enemy now, and he will help me! Besides, Dong Er had no choice but to try, otherwise he would not be able to avoid the pursuit in Tokyo at all.
So Dong Er went straight to the side of Daxiangguo Temple, that Guo Shao is also quite famous in Tokyo, and at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, he could hear people talk about his war in Shouzhou from time to time. Dong Er had also heard about it and knew that Guo Mansion was over there.
Dong Er panicked, and finally avoided the official errand wandering in the official shop. Not long after he committed the crime, he estimated that the government had gone to a few city gates for the first time, and the city of Tokyo was large, and the movement was not obvious in the place slightly away from the Zhao Mansion.
After a long time, Dong Er finally touched the front street of Guo's mansion, and as soon as he approached the front of the mansion, he saw several generals coming out of the mansion gate and leading horses in the small courtyard next to the door. Dong Er hurriedly stepped forward, but was immediately caught by several sergeants.
"I'm looking for General Guo Shao!" Dong Er hurriedly said, "I have something important to ask to see." ”
A terrifying-looking horse-faced general shouted, "What's the matter? ”
Dong Er saw that there were many people around, so he said: "I want to take a step to speak, if I can see General Guo, it is best to say it in person." ”
The horse-faced general had already been wary, because he saw that Dong Er's hairline and the back of his ears were covered with dried blood. The horse-faced military general said: "Bring it to the opposite courtyard and say." ”
There is a courtyard opposite Guo's mansion, which was originally a place where the soldiers on duty were stationed, and there were dozens of strong men day and night. In the past, Guo Shao was still relatively low-key, afraid of setting up the forbidden soldiers privately at home to attract discussions, so he only set up one or twenty pro-soldiers on duty in the front yard of the mansion, as well as some Qin Shi's subordinates turned into family members; It is true that Guo Shao is a high-ranking military general, but at the foot of this Son of Heaven, in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the family has a collection of 100 elite soldiers, which is already very eye-catching. However, Guo Shao was stabbed recently, and his defense was strengthened, and he had a reason to deploy elite soldiers, and he couldn't take care of a lot.
The horse-faced man took Dong Er to the military hall and asked...... Then Dong Er said that he killed Zhao San!
…… Guo Shao soon arrived, first observed Dong Er, and then asked him about killing Zhao San. Dong Er told him how his father was killed by Zhao San and how he took revenge.
In the end, he bluntly said: "The grass people are desperate, and they know that General Guo and Zhao Yanei have a grudge, so they are like-minded." ”
Guo Shao and the others listened, you look at me, I look at you, several people looked at each other, and they couldn't say a word. Guo Shao scolded in his heart: I'll go to Nima! This fight killed people, and ran to my house to vote for me, I ate a leopard and dared to harbor you?
At this juncture, Zhao San was suspected of intending to kill Guo Shao's life; As a result, only a few days later, Zhao San was assassinated, and the assassin went straight to Guo's mansion. This is not an assassin sent by Guo Shao?
Guo Shao's mood was very complicated, and he felt annoyed to recruit **...... But I was still a little glad in my heart: fortunately, he killed more than a dozen knives, and directly inserted the knife into the skull, killing Zhao San; If only the people were killed, but the people were not killed, then the trouble would be even greater. Responsibilities must also be shouldered, leaving scourges and hidden dangers.
It's like Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty killed Guo Wei's whole family and didn't kill Guo Wei, but as a result, nothing was done, hatred was formed, and the country was destroyed.
Zuo Youliang spoke for a long time before he spoke: "This Dong Er, there is no way to save it." Only if you hand it over, you have to keep it alive. ”
Yang Biao said: "Zhao San killed a thief, and it just so happened that the thief's son worked as a groom in the mansion...... It's just right now, it's too coincidental, and no one will believe it. Everyone would think that Dong Er was an assassin sent by the eldest brother. ”
Guo Shao nodded and said, "But Dong Er really has nothing to do with me, you ask him now." ”
Guo Shao secretly sorted out this matter in his heart:
First, after the Battle of Jinyang, he rescued a father and daughter surnamed Dong near Gaoping; The eldest daughter of the Dong family was married or sold, and a son fled the famine. And Yulian is also surnamed Dong, and her hometown is also near Gaopingna, Hedong. Guo Shao had reason to guess that the father and daughter might be Yulian's family, so he brought them back to Tokyo, but the guess was wrong.
originally wanted to keep the father and daughter of the Dong family as slaves in the mansion, but the old man Dong wanted to steal as soon as he came, so after Guo Shao bought Dong Sanmei with money, he expelled the old man Dong from the house...... In this way, Old Man Dong will be in Tokyo. After spending the money, the guy went to steal again, and when he stole to Zhao's house, he was finally arrested and killed by Zhao San.
And Dong Er fled to Tokyo, just in Zhao Mansion as a groom. Seeing that his father was killed, he avenged his father and found an opportunity to kill Zhao San at home. This matter is quite a coincidence, so it is difficult for Guo Shaocai to get rid of the involvement, but the fact is that Dong Er is not the person sent by Guo Shao.
Guo Shaoxin said: Zhao San is really dead? The person who would be the emperor didn't have time to show his awesome means, and he was killed at home by a groom when he was a teenager?
At this moment, Zuo You asked, "Dong Er, what year did you enter the Zhao Mansion?" ”
Dong Erdao: "In the third year of Guangshun (953 AD, at the end of Guo Wei's reign). ”
Zuo You turned his head to look at Guo Shao and said: "The lord only started after the battle of Gaoping in the first year of Xiande, and before that, he was only a junior general or a non-commissioned officer of the forbidden army, and he had no ability or need to install a fine work in the Zhao Mansion. This Dong Er's entry into the Zhao Mansion has nothing to do with the lord. ”
Guo Shao nodded and said: "Having said that, we can't rule out the suspicion that we later found out Dong Er and used ready-made personnel. ”
Zuo You said helplessly: "Now, this Dong Er has to be handed over to the government." He appeared in Guo Mansion more than one person to see, if he disappeared here, our dislike would be even heavier. ”
Guo Shao looked at Dong Er and said: "You overestimate me too much, then Zhao Kuangyin is the commander of the front division of the palace, and he is deeply relied on by the officials." You killed Zhao Kuangyin's own brother, how dare I harbor and how can I protect you? I should hand you over to the government now. If you are caught in prison, you may suffer a little, but you will not necessarily die; You will definitely die outside, so even if Zhao Kuangyin hacks you to death with a knife, what can he do? ”
Dong Er said: "I know that I have committed an unforgivable crime, and if I dare to kill Zhao San, I don't plan to live!" ”
Guo Shao nodded and couldn't help but say, "There is a kind!" He thought for a while and said, "You stay in prison well, and when others ask you, tell the truth, and you must confess truthfully!" ”
Dong Er had no choice but to accept his fate and thank him.
"I'll hand you over to the official, you don't have to thank me." Guo Shao stood up and ordered, "Tie up." This person can't be sent to the ordinary government, so I went all the way to the Privy Council and handed it over directly to Wang Pu. ”
Guo Shao and the others made some preparations and tied up Dong Erwuhua into a car. Guo Shao also took a carriage, called a group of personal soldiers and honor guards, and went straight to the imperial city.
The Privy Council of the Zhou Dynasty is currently in the Imperial City, inside the Donghua Gate. The group first went to Mahang Street, and then went to Donghua Gate.
Not long after, Wang Pu and a few people came out of Donghua Gate, asked first, and then picked up the curtain to take a look at the prisoners who were tied up tightly, and some people sat on the side and watched.
Wang Pu looked at it, and ordered without looking back: "Come on, go to Kaifeng Mansion and call the officials of the left hall." ”
Guo Shao hurriedly said: "This person claimed to have killed Zhao Sanlang, and he heard that I had a grudge with Zhao San, so he fled to my door and ran to ask for help for me to harbor him." How dare I stay? Hurriedly sent it over and handed it over to Deputy Envoy Wang...... Alas, I'm really helpless, this person really has nothing to do with me! ”
Wang Pu remained silent and said: "General Guo, don't worry, the imperial court will definitely find out the truth." He paused for a moment and then said, "The old man also just learned that Zhao Sanlang was assassinated, and he didn't want to catch the criminal so quickly, the assassin is still alive, everything is easy to do." ”
Guo Shao was speechless and looked a little anxious.
Wang Pu mentioned lightly again: "Zhao Hongyin also passed away. ”
Guo Shao immediately showed a look of surprise: "Zhao Du's father? How did you pass away? ”
Wang Pu said: "It was said that he spit blood in a fit of anger and was not saved." However, Zhao Hongyin is already old and in poor health, otherwise he would not have had an accident in one go. ”
Guo Shao's face showed a faint black gas, and his speech was already a little unfavorable: "Zhao Du is really ...... Unfortunately, two people went in one day. ”
Wang Pu sighed: "Yes, and one is his father and the other is his brother, both of whom are men of the Zhao family." ”
Guo Shao stood for a while, feeling that he had nothing to say, so he bowed and said, "The prisoner Dong Er will be handed over to the deputy envoy Wang and take his leave." ”
Wang Pu nodded and replied, "I won't send it far away." ”
Guo Shao got into the carriage and wanted to go to Zhao's Mansion to see the situation, but now he was carrying the armor and the guard of honor, so it was not easy for him to go. So he went south from Mahang Street, went straight home, and finally couldn't help it halfway, and sent a man in cloth clothes to Zhao Mansion to take a look.
In the afternoon, the family member sent to see the situation came back and went to the front yard hall to meet Guo Shao. The family replied: "The spirit banner and the white cloth at the gate have been hung up, and a lot of paper money has been sprinkled in front of the door, and it has been mourned!" The little one specially asked the people who were watching the excitement nearby, and it was really Zhao Kuangyin's father who died with his brother! ”
Guo Shao felt a lot of pressure...... Thinking about it, Father Zhao and Zhao San died, and it had nothing to do with him, but how would Zhao Kuangyin's family feel?
Lao Tzu was assassinated, but he didn't retaliate...... In the end, I'm not a victim, but I am a grudge?
The human heart is so strange, some people do things that are sorry for others, and they don't feel indebted, but they become even more hateful! The Zhao family not only has Zhao Kuangyin, but also a mother, son, fourth brother, and sisters, these people have a good impression of Guo Shao?
