Regardless of whether Han Qian arranged for someone to do something secretly, since he saw the boat transporting Wang Yu's coffin back to his hometown capsized on the river beach in Wuling County on the way, Han Daoxun ignored it, and it was too cold in the world.

Han Daoxun had nothing to avoid, so he walked off the boat with Han Qian, surrounded by Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Wuji, Yang Qin, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others, and walked towards the river beach in front.

The coffin was carried to the shore, guarded by six or seven family soldiers and boatmen, and a young woman in a silk garment sat on the beach in despair and frustration.

Seeing Han Daoxun and the others coming over, the young woman did not greet her, but stood up and retreated to the side, but an old man with dry cheeks and dressed like a soldier came over and saluted: "The boat is old and leaky, and there is too much water in Wuling, so I have to temporarily dock in case my lord's coffin does not enter the river, if it collides with you, please forgive me." ”

"I am Han Daoxun, the new assassin of Xuzhou, and in front of me is the coffin of Lord Wang Yu?" Han Doxun stepped forward and asked.

"The villain Yu Cheng has seen Lord Han, and it is the coffin of my family over there." The old soldier replied.

Fan Xicheng looked at the young woman who avoided getting out of the way, although her appearance was very haggard, she was wearing a silk coat and did not apply powder, but she could not hide the beauty between her eyebrows and eyes, thinking that if this woman was Wang Yu's surviving person, then she should not retreat to the side, and the family soldiers came forward to greet them, but if it wasn't for Wang Yu's family, why was she wearing mourning clothes and accompanying the coffin that transported Wang Yu all the way?

Zhao Kuo glanced at Han Qian, and saw that he didn't have any doubts, but patiently listened to Wang Yu's old family soldiers and Han Daoxun talk about the hardships after Wang Yu's death, thinking that he should have already known the identity of this woman through the eyes of the secret Cao Zuosi.

Of course, Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo were not confused for too long, so they listened to the old family soldiers around Wang Yu and complained about what happened before and after the funeral.

Eight years before Wang Yu's blessing, he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple on the fourth grade.

When the Great Chu annexed Yuezhou and other eastern Zhejiang regions, Wang Yu and Liyang Marquis Yang En and others asked Emperor Tianyou to forgive the clansmen of Dong Chang, the king of Yue, and were demoted to Xuzhou by Emperor Tianyou to assassinate Shi and never returned, so that he died of miasma in mid-spring.

Wang Yu's eldest son died on the battlefield and left no heirs; The second son, Wang Ye, was a former scribe in Yuezhou at this time, and learned of the death of his father Wang Yu, but he was unable to rush to Xuzhou to collect Wang Yu's body and return to his hometown for burial, and Wang Ye's heirs were young, so they could only write a letter to entrust everything to Yu Cheng and others.

Wang Yu was an honest official, and he had no money left after his death, and the life of the family soldiers was also quite hard, and he couldn't even make up a coffin money.

Wang Yu served as the assassin of Xuzhou, offended many local tycoons, and no one dared to come forward to raise funds to donate the coffin, and finally Zhou Yourui, the head of the Xuzhou Public Office, remembered and Wang Yuping treated her kindness, funded the purchase of the coffin and hired a canopy boat to send Wang Yu's body back to his hometown.

It's just that I didn't expect the boat to go to Wuling County and make such a basket.

In addition to the fact that there was a teaching workshop in the capital to collect the wives and daughters of the guilty ministers as officials, the local states also set up music camps, also known as public offices.

Wang Yu's soldier Yu Cheng said that Zhou Yourui is the head of the public hall, which means the head of the official camp in Xuzhou.

Thinking about being a stabbing history, dying of illness in office, poor in his pocket, and due to the obstruction of local tycoons, he even had insufficient funds to transport the coffin back to his hometown, which was really desolate, but thinking of so many officials in Xuzhou, under the oppression of local tycoons, they were not as good as a Leying woman chivalrous and courageous, Han Daoxun was also full of emotion, and bowed deeply to Zhou Yourui, who retreated to the side.

Zhou Yourui was a little surprised, and returned the salute from afar.

Han Daoxun said to Yu Cheng, a soldier from his hometown: "The prince is noble and bright, and he is honest and honest, but unfortunately he died of illness. ”

Yu Cheng returned the salute and returned to prepare.

Han Daoxun stared at Wang Yu's coffin for a while, then asked Han Qian sideways: "The manpower you sent to Xuzhou, but what suspicious points did you find?" ”

Han Daoxun didn't think that there might be a problem with Wang Yu's death, but when he wanted to know about it, that is, when Han Qian and Xinchang Hou Li Pu proposed conditions, Wang Yu had already died of illness for two months, and he didn't know what else Han Qian could find out if he sent someone to Xuzhou to investigate.

Han Qian said in a low voice: "There are naturally suspicions, but the mountains and rivers in Xuzhou are far away, and the local people are relatively closed, even if I send people to Xuzhou almost a month in advance, I don't have the opportunity to contact Wang Yu's soldiers, let alone see with my own eyes whether Wang Yu's corpse is abnormal, and the information that can be collected is relatively limited." ”

"Even if you make people do it and force the coffin ship to run aground halfway, but at this time, more than three months have passed since Wang Yu's death, and even if the coffin is opened, the autopsy will not be able to detect anything," Han Daoxun stared at his son Han Qian's cunning look in his eyes, suddenly understood, and asked in a low voice, "Your intention, is it not that I can see something, but to make some people mistakenly think that I can see something?" ”

"Only by striking the grass can the snake be frightened out of the hole." Han Qian smiled slightly, and didn't think that sending people to sink people's coffin ships was very immoral.

"If there were no snakes, how could they be frightened?" Han Do-hoon asked.

After Wang Yu's death, so many officials and officials in Xuzhou did not stand up to donate coffins to help his corpses return to their hometowns, and someone must have made a hindrance; At the same time, it is not impossible to show him, the new assassin.

It's just that Wang Yuzhen died of illness, not from the murder of others, no matter how many hands and feet they use, it is impossible to startle any snakes.

"I took a three-month leave with the third prince, and it has been a month since then, and I can't lead Zuo Si's men to guard my father's side for too long, and even if there are no poisonous snakes in Xuzhou, Ji Kun, a poisonous snake thief, is not dead, so it's better to surprise him out as soon as possible," Han Qian said, "This may be better to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

At that time, people in the world had limited understanding of miasma and miasma, but Han Qian knew that the so-called miasma and miasma were actually falciparum malaria transmitted by mosquitoes.

As early as five or six hundred years ago, Ge Hong proposed the key drug for the treatment of falciparum malaria, Artemisia annua, in "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription"; It's just that the method of taking the medicine of Artemisia annua decoction is improper, so the effect of Artemisia annua in treating falciparum malaria is not very ideal.

The high incidence of falciparum malaria in the hot and humid areas is in the hot season when mosquitoes breed, but Wang Yu's death in Xuzhou was at the end of February, when it was mid-spring and the weather was still a little chilly.

There was no need to send someone to investigate, just by virtue of this, Han Qian suspected that Wang Yu's death was not as simple as he imagined.

It's just this reason, Han Qian has no way to say it clearly.

However, taking 10,000 steps back, even if Han Qian didn't see any suspicions, even if Wang Yu really got sick and died, and no one in the local area harmed him, Ji Kun's fox had no way to confirm this.

At this time, as long as they showed that they had already obtained some evidence, even if they couldn't surprise the local poisonous snake in Xuzhou, they could still lure Ji Kun, the poisonous snake, to bite the hook.

Although Ji Kun's conspiracy was thwarted twice in a row, Ji Kun came with the heavy responsibility given to him by Zhao Mingting, and when Ji Kun himself was not caught, Han Qian obviously could not think that Ji Kun had already taken it back to Jinling, and most of them were still lurking in the shadows, watching their every move.

The overall power directly controlled by the Faculty Division is naturally far greater than that of the Secret Cao Zuo Division, but the problem is that even the Anning Palace does not dare to openly transfer hundreds or thousands of elite scouts to attack the imperial court officials, and the power that Ji Kun can directly use is still extremely limited, not even as many as the manpower that Han Qian can call at this time.

If Ji Kun still wants to continue to carry out the "important task" assigned to him by Zhao Mingting, the feasible way is undoubtedly to use local forces.

What Han Qian had to do was to make Ji Kun believe that there was already a mastermind behind the scenes, and they would catch him, and urge Ji Kun to contact the mastermind behind the scenes to deal with them as soon as possible.

In this case, he is still in Xuzhou with such a man as Zuo Si, so he will naturally be able to take targeted precautions.

If he doesn't do anything at this time, Ji Kun will be patient and lurk in Xuzhou for two or three more months, and he will inevitably return to Jinling within two or three months, and then Ji Kun will choose to make a move, and he may not be able to take care of the situation here.

Therefore, Han Qian arranged for someone to secretly scuttle the coffin ship and force Wang Yu's coffin to stop in Wuling County for two purposes, one is to startle the snake and surprise the local poisonous snake in Xuzhou, and the other is to lure the snake out of the hole, which is to lure Ji Kun, who is lurking in the shadows, to expose his whereabouts again.

Han Daoxun couldn't be sure that the first point could be achieved, but the second point was that his son Han Qian wanted to lure Ji Kun, a poisonous snake, out of the hole, he could still understand, and he also felt that it was just a day of delay, which was worth doing.

Han Qian smiled at this time and asked Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo, Yang Qin, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others around him: "What do you think can be done to make Ji Kun think that my father is going to make a fuss about Wang Lu's corpse after seeing it?" ”

"When a sacrificial hall is set up in the post house in the city, invite the coffin of Lord Wang Yu to come over and worship." Fan Xicheng said.

Han Qian has already done this far, what to do next, if Fan Xicheng and they can't figure it out, then so many years of food will really be in vain.

Han Daoxun pondered for a while, and then motioned to Fan Xicheng to discuss with Wang Yu's old family and Zhou Yourui, who funded the purchase of a coffin and hired a boat to send Wang Yu's body back to his hometown, to set up a sacrificial hall to worship first, and then set off to transport Wang Yu's bones to his hometown.

Where did Yu Cheng and others think that Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son had a deeper plan, Wang Yu, as the assassin of Xuzhou, was so desolate after his death, Yu Cheng also felt that the world was cold, but he didn't expect Han Daoxun not only to avoid it, but also to give such a heavy salute, the sourness that had accumulated in his heart in the past two or three months suddenly burst out, and the old tears knelt on the ground and saluted Han Daoxun again.

Zhou Yourui glanced at her with some doubts, and then followed Yu Cheng and the others to kneel and worship.

After deciding this, Han Daoxun asked Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo to take his prayer post to meet the officials of Wuling County, so that they could borrow the post house in the city to set up a sacrificial hall to temporarily place Wang Yu's coffin.

"I have been to Wuling County, I know the way, I will accompany Fan Ye and Zhao Ye to go to the city first." Yang Qin said quite actively.
