Han Zhaozhi divided the meal with an expressionless face, and Mu Zhaotong looked at him suspiciously: "Isn't Lord Han not eating?" ”

Han Zhaozhi looked into his eyes and replied, "Leave one for the old lady." ”

Mu Zhaotong first froze after hearing Han Zhaozhi's words, and then looked up at Han Zhaozhi fiercely, at that moment, there was still a frightening cold light in the old man's eyes, for so many years, how many people were frightened by this kind of look, but Han Zhaozhi did not react, this kind of eyes that could make Mu Zhaotong's subordinates frightened, how could Han Zhaozhi care.

The one who can be intimidated by the demon's eyes is definitely not the people of the Tingwei Mansion, because what the Tingwei Mansion has been doing is to get rid of the demons.

After a long time, Mu Zhaotong put down his chopsticks and turned around and ordered: "Please ask Mrs. to get up and eat." ”

Baotou opened the big box with a trembling hand, and reached out to help Mu Zhaotong's wife up, but soon the hand was withdrawn, his face became more and more pale, and he looked back at Mu Zhaotong: "Ge Lao, madam, Mrs. has gone." ”

Mu Zhaotong's shoulders trembled, got up, walked to the edge of the box and looked down, his wife was lying there motionless, he saw the bottle of poison in his wife's hand, it was given by him, he bent down to pick up the poison, took a deep breath, turned around and sat down opposite Han Zhaozhi, poured the remaining poison into the wine jug with an expressionless face, picked up the wine jug and shook it gently, and said while shaking: "I prepared two things, one is poison and the other is gunpowder, and the final choice should be the one I didn't want to use at first." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "I also made two preparations, unpacking and not opening. ”

Mu Zhaotong pondered for a moment and smiled: "Thank you." ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "You're welcome, because it's not necessary, I'm not as kind-hearted as Elder Ge thought." ”

If you don't open the box, it should be considered an undignified way to die, whether it's a knife inserted or a sword inserted into it, or a fire burned first, it seems to be ugly, and unpacking seems to be a kind of respect.

Mu Zhaotong glanced at Han Zhaozhi suspiciously, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Han Zhaozhi's words just now, and after a while, he raised the wine jug high and faced the sky.

"Respect Daning, respect Your Majesty."

Han Zhaozhi looked at him and said, "Just respect yourself." ”

Mu Zhaotong smiled and drank it all.

Baotou and his subordinates looked at Han Zhaozhi, a group of people began to retreat slowly, they were ready to jump ship, the boatman and those people didn't dare to come over and couldn't see where they went, at this time Mu Zhaotong was dead, and the favors that were promised to them were naturally impossible to get again, and there was no point in fighting with people like Han Zhaozhi at this moment, fortunately, there were many of them, and jumping into the river was the best choice.

"I advise you not to jump."

Han Zhaozhi said lightly.

Baotou was startled, ran to the bow of the boat to look, the two boats in the Tingwei Mansion not far in front of him had already stopped there and waited, he ran back again, only to notice that there was a boat behind him that was always following, so even if he jumped down, he should not be able to escape.

"Mu Zhaotong is not a person who accepts fate, you should accept your fate, you can't live if you jump, if you stay, there are other choices."

Han Zhaozhi looked at Mu Zhaotong lying on the table and said to himself: "One of his favorite words is that life is like a play, and he also said that no one has better acting skills than him, I'm not sure if my guess is right or wrong, but I can't help but wonder if this poison is really poison, I have arrested so many people in the Tingwei Mansion for more than 20 years, and I have encountered this kind of fake death many times." ”

He sat there, his eyes always looking at Mu Zhaotong: "Elder Ge should have thought about death many times, so no one is more prepared for the arrival of death than you, and your status is like this."

If you want to die to save your face, no one will really refuse, and even I can't bear to refuse at that moment just now. ”

He got up and looked at the Baotou: "I'm thinking, how should you be convicted, is it the conscience that found out that he repented and killed Mu Zhaotong and surrendered to me, or resisted the law of the country and tried to kill me and was directly destroyed......."

He walked to the side of the boat and stood there, holding the side of the boat with his hand: "My people haven't come here yet, so the choice is still there." ”

The head of the bag looked at his subordinates, and his subordinates were also looking at him.

Suddenly, a young man grabbed a rope from the side and ran to Mu Zhaotong's side, wrapped the rope around Mu Zhaotong's neck and strangled it fiercely, about seven or eight breaths later, Mu Zhaotong, who should have been poisoned, kicked his feet a few times, and his arms swayed slightly, the young man who strangled him had red eyes, and the muscles on his arms tensed up one by one, and it lasted for a long time, and as he let go of his hand, Mu Zhaotong's body fell softly.

Han Zhaozhi took out a medicine bottle from his arms and threw it to Baotou: "Don't be so cruel to the old lady." ”

Baotou looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, was silent for a moment, waved his hand, and the two people immediately went over and opened the old lady's mouth, he poured all the things in the medicine bottle into it, so strong poison poured into it, it will always be useful.

Han Zhaozhi just looked at it calmly and kept watching.

"Lord Han, are you doing the right thing?"

The Baotou suddenly asked.

Han Zhaozhi said slowly: "If I am now the Du Tingwei of the Daning Tingwei Mansion, it must be wrong to do so, I deliberately didn't wear the official uniform of the Duting Captain when I came, not because I was afraid that you would see it, but because sometimes I can't be selfless...... My subordinates are very afraid of me, because I am strict, I am strict because I am afraid that they will die, you who run the rivers and lakes should also understand, if you put aside the identity of Du Tingwei, I should be regarded as their eldest brother, I have a brother named Yao Hunu, Qianban, died jumping in the Huhu Lake, I brought two hundred black horses this time, and there are more than a dozen left, including four Baiban, who died in Changchang County, and before that, there were many people who died directly in the hands of Mu Zhaotong. ”

He glanced at the baotou: "Forget the law of the country for the time being, this is a personal vendetta." ”

Baotou understood.

Han Zhaozhi jumped out of the boat, and two feet away, the boat of the Tingwei Mansion had already approached.

Baotou shouted at Han Zhaozhi: "Lord Han, please remember what you said!" ”

Han Zhaozhi turned to look at him: "I remember everything I said to you, but I didn't promise anything." ”

He raised his hand, and the people on the three boats all raised their bows and arrows, and their faces changed greatly, and they roared at Han Zhaozhi: "You are a villain!" Despicable villain! ”

Han Zhaozhi snorted: "I am, and I will give back to him in his own way." ”

He turned around, and the people of the Tingwei Mansion released the feather arrows, and at this time Baotou found that the other people on the boat had already jumped into the river and ran away, including the bow of the ship, there were only nine of them left on the boat, and they were pressed by the feather arrows There was no way to jump out, so they could only lie down and dodge, but the torches were thrown up, in addition to the torches, there were also cans of fire oil, the clay pot was broken on the boat, the torches ignited the boat, the fire quickly spread, and the whole ship was engulfed in flames not long after.

Someone jumped from the boat with arrows, and the fire on his body was extinguished in the river, but before he could come out, he was killed by a crossbow.

Han Zhaozhi held on to the side of the ship and watched the cargo ship burn more and more, watched the flames envelop the hull of the ship, and also looked at the distorted figures of those people in the flames, whether they jumped down or failed to jump, the outcome was actually doomed.

Nie Ye walked up to Qianban Nalan's little enemy, lowered his voice and said, "If this happens."

If something happens, please remember that it was I who gave the order. ”

Nalan Xiaodi patted Nie Ye's shoulder: "You are not the only one who is from the Tingwei Mansion, the people here are all the ones I saw and I didn't see, and the one who died was also my brother." ”

The two of them looked back at Han Zhaozhi, but found that Lord Du Tingwei seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

The fire is still burning, and the river can't save it.

Many people on both sides of the river stopped to watch, and the exclamations continued, and none of the people knew what was going on, but when they saw that the three boats in the river were all black-clothed from the Tingwei Mansion, they felt that it was nothing.

"It looks like someone on that ship was burned to death."

"If the people from the Tingwei Mansion want to arrest them, can they still be good people?"

"That's it, you deserve to be burned."

"Anyway, it's kind of cruel to be burned like this."

"Then do you think about it, are these damned people cruel when they kill people? Are the innocent people they killed pitiful? ”

The fire went out.

Three ships from the Imperial Governor's Mansion approached and examined them closely.

On the boat, Han Zhaozhi let out a long breath, just now he had been asking himself all the time, was he still the capital of the Tingwei Mansion in this way? Looking at the raging fire, looking at the people struggling and twisting in the fire, he suddenly came to his senses...... If he doesn't do this, is he still the capital of the Tingwei Mansion?

There is never mercy for the wicked, this is the Tingwei Mansion.

Han Zhaozhi turned around and looked in the direction of the sun, the sun was dazzling, so he shed tears.

Nie Ye and Nalan came over, two people took the wine, and the three of them each poured a glass, looked at each other and raised it to the sky at the same time, and then spilled the wine.

"It's finally over."

Nie Ye looked at Han Zhaozhi and said, "My lord, let's hurry back to Chang'an, there are still many things waiting for us to go back and deal with." ”

Han Zhaozhi nodded: "Yes, the Tingwei Mansion is still here, and there will be a lot of things waiting for us to deal with." ”

He asked Nalan Xiaodi: "Do you want to do things in Chang'an?" ”

Nalan Xiaowei said: "Relatively speaking, it's better to do a thousand things in Yunxiao City, and I have the final say in Yunxiao City, whether it's investigating a case or something else, after arriving in Chang'an, you have to be cautious and have a lot of rules and constraints, it should be very unpleasant...... As long as you are not stupid, you know how to choose, I choose to go back to Chang'an with the adults. ”

Nie Ye laughed: "Aren't you calling yourself stupid? ”

Nalan Xiaodi said: "It's the adults who are stupid first." ”

Han Zhaozhi couldn't help but shake his head and laughed: "There is another person to help me transfer it...... The captain over there at Muyu Pass is the one who thinks Song Mouyuan has a problem, what is his name? ”

"Go back to your lordship, call An the same."

"Well, transfer him to Yunxiao City to do the branch office, or also ask him if he is willing to stay in Xishu Dao or go to Chang'an to follow me."

Han Zhaozhi waved his hand: "Let's sail, go back to Chang'an, Nalan, you take your people back to pack up their things and come back, don't worry." ”

Nalan Xiaodi smiled: "When we came out, we already said it, but we didn't say goodbye to the family, I told the family, and I also asked the brothers of the branch to tell the family, saying that the adults can settle us in Chang'an City, and the family has a house." ”

Han Zhaozhi glanced at him: "That's hundreds of households." ”

Nalan Xiaodi: "Yes, hundreds of households. ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "Where is there so much silver in the Tingwei Mansion to house hundreds of families...... I have to find Shen Leng, he has money. ”

Nie Ye laughed: "That's right, General Shen is rich!" ”
