Chapter 438: Huairen takes the blame

"Liang Yitan is dead?!"

Yang Huairen repeated, thinking that things were too incredible, when he let that kid go two or three hours ago, he was still fine, why did he die after such a while?

"How did he die?"

"Accidental death. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Tong Guan's face was ugly, and he only learned the news half an hour ago. At that time, he was already asleep, and it was a small colonel from the patrol camp of the Tongyuan Military Division who hurriedly called him up and told him about it.

Tong Guan thought it was a dream at first, but when he saw Liang Yitan's body, he woke up. He realized that something was wrong and reported to the officials of all sizes in Huanzhou, so he returned to Baihuayuan overnight to discuss countermeasures with Yang Huairen.

Yang Huairen's initial reaction when he heard the news was somewhat similar to Tong Guan, this is a dream, right? How is this possible?

Not long ago, Liang Yitan was not beaten in the Western Regions Building, the only injury was that Yang Huairen used a small wooden thorn to pierce him in the neck with a bloody spot, if this can make him die, then Yang Huairen is really the number one master in the world.

The problem is that Liang Yitan's identity is too special, he doesn't have much power himself, to put it bluntly, he is just a speculative businessman, but the background behind him is too powerful, a queen mother and a minister of power in Western Xia are all real power figures, if they really want to be investigated, it is easy to rise to the contradiction between countries.

Looking at Tong Guanhu's suspicious face, Yang Huairen said tentatively, "Master Tong won't think that I poisoned him to death by the poisonous Gu I placed, right?" ”

Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "It seems that Liang Yitan doesn't look like he died of poisoning." ”

Tong Guan's expression changed very slightly, but it was still easy for people to notice that he said this, and he was not very sure, and there must be doubts in his heart.

Yang Shihu, who was standing in the middle of a kind of official, stood up and defended Yang Huairen and said, "Everyone has seen today's incident, the reason why Yang Houye gave Liang Yitan Gu is just an expedient measure to fear that he will retaliate in the future, not to mention how can this poisonous Gu have a reason to attack immediately after it is launched?" ”

Yang Huairen was very grateful that a local official in Huanzhou stood by his side to support him, but he also knew that Yang Shihu said this, and he probably didn't know that he was sure, but it was just because he admired himself that he stood up and said these words.

Tong Guan nodded, affirming Yang Shihu's statement, "What General Yang said is reasonable, just now through the preliminary examination of the two-day corpse by the county servant, he did not have any external injuries on his body, and no signs of poisoning were found in the throat and abdomen, as for the cause of death, he can't say why, he can only say that he died accidentally." ”

Yang Huairen said in his heart that this is troublesome, the autopsy can't find the real cause of Liang Yitan's death, so he has to carry this black pot no matter what.

Many people have seen the conflict between him and Liang Yitan and his subordinates in the Western Regions Building, and the officials in Huanzhou may not talk nonsense, but the people who pass by outside the door to watch the excitement can also know a rough idea, not to mention the dozen or so Liang Yitan's personal thugs.

The so-called Yang Huairen gave Liang Yitan the Seven Insect Poison Gu is just a trick that Yang Huairen used to scare him and tease him, but now that he is really dead, what will outsiders think? The only person they can think of as the most suspected murderer is Yang Huairen.

Liang Yitan's death can't be concealed if you want to, this kid is notorious on both sides of the Songxia border, he died, whether it is a businessman or the common people will be regarded as a very attractive conversation, maybe it only takes a day's work, the news will spread, within three days, it will reach the Xingqing Mansion of Western Xia.

It is conceivable that Liang Yikui, the minister of the Western Xia Kingdom, knew that his son died in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and he died at the hands of a little marquis surnamed Yang, how he would react.

Although there have only been four large-scale wars between the Song and Xia in the past hundred years, the small-scale friction battles in the local area have not stopped, and the Western Xia, from the monarch to the tribes, has long coveted the abundant Great Song Dynasty, and over the years has been in line with the Great Liao, Tubo and other countries, in order to be able to gnaw a piece of meat on the Great Song Dynasty in the future to eat.

The Great Liaoxi Xia and Tubo Alliance, which had been planning for several years, inexplicably cracked last year, and their big plan had to be put on hold.

It's a big deal. Yang Huairen wanted to calm down, but his heart still couldn't help beating violently, he was a little nonsense, the big deal was to offend a few wicked people, but today is different, Liang Yitan's death is likely to turn into a large-scale war.

He was not afraid of war, and when he thought of going to war, he was even a little excited when he was young and vigorous. But the excitement in his heart could not hide his worries, wars are merciless, and the passionate battles are indeed bloody, but at the same time, they are also accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice.

It may be the fate of a soldier to shed blood and sacrifice his life for the country, but what about those innocent people? Is their fate to go to the funeral because of the death of a Western Xia bully?

Yang Huairen can't afford to take on such a big responsibility, but with such a big black pot cover, he can't hide now.

If it was someone else, Tong Guan might have tied him up immediately, and then sent it to Liang Yiqi with Liang Yitan's corpse, and then sent some gold and silver treasures to ask for guilt, hoping to turn a big thing into a small thing.

But as an internal guard, he knows in his heart that Yang Huairen can do the position of the master of the Golden Jutang Hall and the deputy head of the internal guard, that must be the most trusted person of the Empress Dowager, if he kidnaps Yang Huairen and gives it to the Xixia people, then his life is over, and many people in the court will definitely offend him, and the people will also scold him as a traitor.

That's why he took the initiative to come to Yang Huairen to find a countermeasure, trying his best to minimize the impact of this matter. Yang Huairen could read Tong Guan's eyes and thoughts, and he was a little grateful, but he had no better way, so he could only take one step at a time.

After discussion, Yang Huairen decided to personally send an internal guard to send an urgent letter to the court to explain the matter, and at the same time explained the conflict between him and Liang Yitan to the court, emphasizing that Liang Yitan's death had nothing to do with him, but it was not up to him to influence how the Empress Dowager Gao and the bigwigs in the court viewed this matter.

Tong Guan, as the military supervisor of the Tongyuan Military Division, sent an official letter to the states and counties in the western border areas, reminding everyone to pay attention to the movement of the Western Xia army, so as to take precautions in advance, and at the same time asked for help from the Yongxing Army Governor's Office, hoping that the Governor could reinforce the army to Huanzhou to strengthen the defense.
