Chapter 14: The Death of He Jin
The man walked into Zhang Rang's residence, and after a while he took a bag of gold and left, with a happy face, and hurriedly left while the night was dark.
"Damn, He Jin, this butcher, a pork seller, is so vicious that he wants to put me to death, if it weren't for the many eyes and ears of our family, he would really die in this Luoyang Palace without knowing it, but it's a pity, people are not as good as heaven, since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless", Zhang Rang said angrily after the man left.
After the morning of the next day, Zhang Rang pretended to be nothing, and after He Jin left, he summoned the ten permanent servants to start discussing.
"He Jin's butcher wants to summon Dong Zhuo to Beijing, and in the name of Qing Jun's side, he will put me to death", Zhang Rang did not delay at all, and came up and directly said the key points this time.
"It's impossible, we didn't offend him much, at most it was a fight in the court, all for the sake of interests, how did this person think of it, did he hear it wrong, how do you know", someone asked, feeling unbelievable about the news, the court is a competition for interests, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, how can there be the idea of killing each other.
"One of He Jin's advisers came to tell me last night, the news should be true, how do I know what's going on, and the butcher doesn't understand the rules of the court, I'm afraid he will be annoyed and angry", Zhang Rang replied calmly.
"Then what should we do, we can't sit still", Zhao Zhong was a little impatient, after all, it was about his own net worth.
"Hmph, since he has the idea of killing us, don't blame us for being ruthless, find a chance to kill him", Zhang Rang gestured and said, the rest of the people did not have the slightest burden in their hearts, after all, they have done a lot to get rid of people like political enemies.
"It's not easy to get it this time, he's a general, and there are a lot of guards around him, so I have to find a way to do it when he's alone," someone suggested.
"This is not simple, let's coerce the Empress Dowager He, and urgently summon He Jin into the palace, he is estimated that he is still fantasizing about the sweet dream after getting rid of us, and he must be defenseless", Zhang Rang thought for a long time last night and thought of this method.
"Okay, then let's go, without further ado, arrange some sword and axe men to ambush at the gate of the palace, and when he comes in, we will rush up and get rid of him"
Zhang Rang led some people into the Empress Dowager He's bedroom, and the eunuchs and palace maids were all Zhang Rang's people, and they were not hindered.
"The Queen Mother is auspicious, the old slave will give you a greeting", Zhang Rang saluted, looked at the Queen Mother He and said.
"What is the matter with coming here to find the palace, let's say it", Empress Dowager He didn't look at Zhang Rang.
"Please also ask the Empress Dowager to send someone to invite General He into the palace and say that you have something to talk to him", although Zhang Rang used a respectful tone, he was actually ordering the Empress Dowager He.
"Bold, who allowed you to talk to the palace like this", Empress Dowager He was very dissatisfied with Zhang Rang's tone, slapped the table, and glared angrily.
Zhang Rang was unmoved, looked at Empress Dowager He with a smile, and said.
"Queen Mother, now it's all my people outside, I think it's better for everyone not to tear their faces, what do you say?"
"What do you want", Empress Dowager He heard what Zhang Rang said, and knew that now she could only follow his wishes.
"Didn't the old slave say, you only need to summon General He to attack, the queen mother is a body of gold, what can the slave and maid do to you", Zhang Rang said in a weird way.
Empress Dowager He still gave in and asked her personal maid to call He Jin into the palace.
……
"Wen Wei, what does He Jin want to do as a butcher, send me a private message telling me what you want Qingjun side, let me enter Beijing immediately", a fat man with a full body of meat sat on a chair and habitually asked the person standing next to him.
"Xiangguo, it is designated that He Jin and Zhang Rang are competing for profit, but they can't fight others, and they want to come directly to Heng, summoning you to Beijing and saying that it is the side of Qingjun, it is obvious that he can't bear to get rid of Zhang Rang", a middle-aged man said with a calm face.
"Oh, so should we go?"
Dong Zhuo has developed this habit, as long as he has a question, he asks the strategist next to him, he knows that Li Ru is loyal to him, the matter of the year has long passed, but he has never been dissatisfied with giving him advice for so many years, although he is usually very silent, but as long as Dong Zhuo asks him, he will definitely be able to give a perfect solution.
"Xiangguo, of course you have to help him, and you have to gather all the troops to help him, and besides, Your Majesty is in trouble, as a courtier, you should also do your duty", Li Ru still replied to Dong Zhuo in a flat tone, but he was planning bigger things in his heart, Li Ru knew Xiangguo's ambitions, so in Li Ru's opinion, entering Luoyang this time was the first step for them to fight for the world.
"Okay, then gather the army and send troops to Luoyang", Dong Zhuo agreed with Li Ru's opinion without the slightest hesitation.
……
"Come on, little beauty, have another drink with me", He Jin hugged the beauty in his arms, and said with a smile, he was very satisfied with his current life, in the past, he could only peek in his heart, but now he can do whatever he wants, and after getting rid of Zhang Rang's group of eunuchs, life will be better.
"General, Empress Dowager He's personal maid came at the behest of the Empress Dowager, saying that she had something important to see you", a soldier outside the door reported.
"Let her in," He Jin said disapprehantly.
"See the general", the slave maid was quite attractive, and saw He Jin bending down and saluting.
"Xiaoyu, what's the matter so in such a hurry", He Jin's eyes glanced at the maidservant, and asked casually.
"The queen mother said that she had something urgent to see you, and the slave and maid didn't know anything, but she was very flustered when she saw the queen mother's appearance, so the slave and maid hurried over", the maid lowered her head and didn't look at He Jin's gaze, and told He Jin the situation in a twisted manner.
"Okay, then I'll go into the palace to have a look", He Jin also knows that business is important, a woman like this, as long as she has the right, it is not at her fingertips.
He Jin entered the palace without any guards, without any defense, in his opinion, Luoyang Palace can be said to be half of his family, who dares to disadvantage him.
When he walked into Changle Palace, suddenly a group of sword and axe men rushed out, He Jin struggled to resist, but he was still caught.
"Bold, I'm the uncle of the dynasty, the general, do you want to rebel", He Jin scolded loudly.
"General He, what a great majesty", Zhang Rang walked over with a smirk on his face.
"Zhang Rang, what do you want to do, do you want to rebel, I will not let you go if I kill my majesty and the queen mother", He Jin saw Zhang Rang coming, knew that things were not good, and moved out the last hole card.
"Hahaha, General He, it's too naïve, you died here, who knows that it was my hand, as for the Empress Dowager He, it has long been controlled by us, do you think it is a coincidence that we appeared", Zhang Rang went up and patted He Jin's face, and said mockingly.
"I also want to summon Dong Zhuo to Jingqingjun's side, since you don't follow the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless", Zhang Rang pinched He Jin's chin and said ruthlessly.
"Zhang Rang, you misunderstood, I didn't want to kill you, don't fall for the villain's tricks, in this way, you let me go, I will give you a lot of treasures", He Jin was a little panicked, and made the last struggle, as long as he waited for him to get out of Luoyang Palace, he had a chance.
"You think I'm going to be as stupid as you and kill", Zhang Rangli didn't even pay attention to the treasure He Jin said, and when to do something, he knew very well.
The knife and axe hand next to him heard Zhang Rang's order, and his hand rose and fell, without a moment of hesitation, He Jin, pawn.
