71,
Hearing Xu Jun say that General Qi had returned to Beijing, the masked man was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Xu Jun became more and more fearless, he sat on the ground, raised his eyebrows and smiled, his eyes were calm,
"The Qi family was guarding in Shu in the era, and formed a temperance with the Xu Wangfu, what will happen when Qi Zhizhi returns to Beijing at this time?"
He looked at the masked man mockingly, and the conversation changed,
"To this day, who do you blame? At the beginning, you gave up on her, otherwise she is your wife today, and with your dedication, you must hold her in the palm of your hand and love her for a lifetime.
But because you ruined your face, you can only agree to me marrying her into the door. ”
"But I have regressed, Xu Xuan and Xu Han are your bloodline, and I have never touched a single hair of Xu Danxiu, so that she will be a widow for the rest of her life!"
"You feel sorry for her now, why did you go earlier? Hahaha, you're ridiculous and pathetic! ”
"You say, if Xu Danxiu knew that she had been deceived for so many years, how would she ......?"
An eerie smile tugged at his lips.
The masked man noticed the unkindness in Xu Jun's eyes, as well as the mockery, narrowed his eyes, his eyes were suddenly gloomy, and he said,
"You violated the agreement between us, the person who should have died early, then died of illness, you said that I wanted to renew the relationship with Ah Xiu, yes, I thought so."
"But ......"
He sighed softly, "As you say, what will I do if you die?" Do you want to tell her that the person she liked back then was me? ”
"Who would believe such an unbelievable thing?"
He touched his face that was full of furrows under his mask, and if that was the case, how could he give up back then?
Even if Xu Jun dies of illness and she wants to remarry, what can he say?
After all, it's him who is sorry for her!
He looked at Xu Jun on the ground, suddenly sat up with the armrest of a chair, paced in front of Xu Jun, and after a long time, he said coldly,
"Why I gave up in the first place, you are clear, since you have forgotten your responsibility as a member of the Xu family, then, I can't tolerate you."
"Originally, this dark day should have been lived by you, but when I was born in my father's inheritance, my face was ruined, Xu Jun, can you say that this is not a good thing you have done?"
Referring to the responsibilities of the Xu family, Xu Jun's face on the ground changed slightly, he stared at the masked man deadly, and scolded angrily,
"I don't dare to forget the mission of the Xu family, let alone my father's dying words, but have you ever remembered the Xu family's family motto?"
"Your face was just made by the eldest brother when he was fighting for the throne, no."
"I see that you have been locked up here all these years, and your brain is broken."
The masked man shook his head and opened his mouth lightly,
"We know each other what you want to do, the Xu family has heavy troops, one bright and one dark, two princes, throwing their heads and spilling blood for the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, there is no merit and hard work."
He took out a document from the messy ground and threw it at Xu Jun, furious,
"Now you dare to collude with the third prince in private, and now that Han'er has gone to the south of the Yangtze River, she almost died on the river, do you know?"
"You don't take the right road, but you want to take the wrong road, I won't use the lives of the Xu family to gamble with you on an unknown future."
"The emperor has long been dissatisfied with our Xu family's heavy troops, otherwise how could he agree to the excerpt handed over by Ah Xiu? Let Han'er succeed to the throne? ”
As soon as he said this, Xu Jun stared at him deadly, as if he had seen the person in front of him clearly for the first time.
"That's right, Xu Han went down to the south of the Yangtze River, she died by herself, if she was in the capital, would she die?"
"Since you said that I colluded with the three princes, then I also told you, I just support the three princes, do you see that the prince's virtue is worthy of the position of prince?"
"The Huo family and Taizu are wearing a pair of pants to fight the country, but what is the result? Now that it's already yellow mud, you've been to the Limen Pass battlefield, don't you know what caused the Huo family to be defeated? ”
"Do you think the Xu family can sleep in peace? Your Majesty has long wanted to take back the military power, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking, is it difficult for my Xu family to achieve the same fate as the Huo family? ”
"The Huo family is full of loyalty, how many people died on the battlefield? Will there be fewer people in the Xu family? ”
"But now, who still remembers the Huo family? Who remembers the blood shed by the Xu family? ”
"Our Xu family is worthy of the royal family at the top and the people of the world at the bottom, but who is worthy of the Xu family?"
"People in the world are worthy of the Xu family, and no one has ever failed the Xu family, and now you want to lose the ancestors of the Xu family." The masked man shouted!
Xu Jun's pupils shrank, his gaze was cloudy, and after a while, he said coldly,
"I don't, I just don't want the Xu family to decline in the imperial power, so that the blood of every son of the Xu family will not be shed in vain, and the Xu family will not fall into the situation of the Huo family.
Let the world know the name of the heroic martyr of my Xu family, rather than the name of the king, which gradually fell into the dust. “
The masked man's voice was cold, and his face was cold,
"I'm afraid that if I continue to indulge you, then the Xu family will not be a martyr, but because you will be stinking for 10,000 years!"
"From the dragon's work, is it so good? Since the founding of the country, how many families have been separated from the Xu family? The Xu family was able to maintain today's situation because they did not fall into the struggle for imperial power, and they were always the one on the dragon chair. ”
"And you, trying to change the path of experience that has been summed up from generation to generation."
Because of his words, Xu Jun's eyes swelled with irrepressible killing intent, and the evil aura seemed to shoot at the masked man, full of gloom,
"You are presumptuous, I am the king of the Xu family, and the future is in my hands."
In the face of that murderous gaze, the masked man showed a miserable smile, only to feel an indescribable sadness welling up in his heart, almost unable to believe that this was the end of his abandonment of his beloved.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold,
"The Xu family can't subvert the name of the martyrs because of your ambitions, besides, ......"
His voice gradually lowered,
"Now that Han'er is the king of this palace, I won't let you drag her down."
Xu Jun suddenly laughed, his expression was crazy, and a pair of undisguised anger eyes stared at the masked man, "Are you sure she can do this king?" Fifth brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
"Why didn't I let Xu Han inherit the throne in the first place, don't you know the reason?"
"Speaking of which, this incident was told to me by the Bai family, but unfortunately, the Bai family must have been killed by Xu Danxiu now."
He looked at the masked man with pity, "You want me to die of illness, but don't blame me for not recognizing people, poke this matter out, I want to die, everyone will die together......"
The faint smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly became calm, he sat in the chair where the masked man had just sat down, and his eyes fell on the masked man with a frosty face,
"Fifth brother, why did you and my brother make such a fuss, if you want to see Xu Danxiu, I won't stop you in the future, and I won't make any more trips for Xu Han, but I can't guarantee whether she can come back alive......"
Without waiting for the masked man to speak, Xu Jun continued,
"I've never killed her, after all, I'm also her uncle, but it's a pity that a big girl was rotten in Xu's hands.
Otherwise, it is also possible to be a concubine for the third prince. “
With a "snap", before he finished his words, he was beaten in the face by the masked man again, and punched him to the ground.
"The women of the Xu family are not concubines, and they are not married to the royal family, not only your conscience has been eaten by dogs, but your brains have also been eaten by dogs."
He grabbed Xu Jun's collar and swung a few punches in a row, Xu Jun, who was already beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, would not even be able to see his human appearance.
The masked man was probably tired, threw him to the ground like a dead dog, and barked into the darkness, and a dark shadow came out of the darkness,
"What has the Lord commanded?"
"You go and deal with it, kill the people around him, and in the future, you will serve by his side, and when it gets dark, go back to the house to report the news, the old prince of the Zhenbei Wangfu is riding a horse in the suburbs, and he falls off the horse......"
The word 'death' turned around the tip of his tongue a few times, and finally turned into a 'coma'.
……
Xu Jun in Beijing was 'unconscious', and thousands of miles away in Jiangnan, Li Xianling really died.
Originally, Li Zhixian wanted to push the responsibility to Ma Zhifu, but Xu Han and the three who were bluffed handed over the account books in their hands.
This is similar to what was found by the outsider.,It's very hidden.,Disguised as a home-cooked daily account.,A note on it is the degree of the inner house.,Rouge gouache,Jewelry and cloth all kinds of expenses.,The amount of money also uses the black language records used by Jiangnan water bandits.。
Li Zhixian explained simply, Xu Han had the emperor's secret decree, and it was just a small county order, she directly asked Xiao Yi to bring out two of the Jinyi guards who came out, and took the recital she wrote, locked Li Zhixian, and escorted him to Beijing to await trial.
This news was not widely publicized, and what Xu Han was afraid of was that once it spread, Li Zhixian would be wiped out like Yuan Wailang.
It's just that there are thousands of precautions, but Li Zhixian still found an opportunity to hang himself in the study.
Before he died, he left a suicide note, saying that he regretted his actions and had no shame to live, so as soon as he died, he thanked the people of Wu County, and he asked the court to allow his wife and children a way to live for the sake of his life.
Xu Han stayed for a while when he received the news before he came back to his senses and said angrily,
"How did the people below guard it, and how did they hang themselves by him."
Originally, they had already packed their bags and were ready to leave Wu County, and the matter here was handed over to the county Cheng, waiting for the arrival of the magistrate appointed by the imperial court.
Xiao Wei touched his nose, who would have thought that he Li County would hang himself in the clean room with a belt, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't resist his desire to die.
Xu Han actually knew that he couldn't anger Xiao Wei, but there was originally human and material evidence, but now that the person is dead, and if it is operated again, it will become them to force Li Zhixian to death at that time!
The living should always be more tolerant of the dead no matter what, and when the time comes, maybe the reputation of Li Xianling can be reversed.
But fortunately, what Li County Ling did was always seen by the people, and the case of the Wen sisters was tried in public that day.
Xu Han could only rewrite the fold and let Jinyiwei send it to Beijing quickly, and after dealing with the affairs of Wu County, he left for Huaiyang.
Huaiyang, Xu Han and Xiao Wei wore mango shoes together, wore robes, put on hats and went to the river embankment to check.
The emperor sent the Qin messenger by Wei Ting and Jin Wuwei's people from another road to Huaiyang, and also met with Ma Zhifu, and now Xiuheti is already in full swing.
One of them was the Ministry of Works, who was well versed in this aspect of the river.
The two Qincha really came to build rivers, dams, and disaster relief matters, and together with Huaiyang, they met with the prefect of Ma, and issued the will to exempt the tax, the plan for the resettlement of displaced people, and the documents for relief through work.
As for Xu Han, he received His Majesty's secret order to completely purge Jiangnan officialdom.
In the Jiangnan officialdom, countless people in the audience couldn't eat or sleep because of the arrival of the Qin Cha, and they trembled every day as if they were walking on thin ice.
But I didn't expect that the two Qincha would only bury themselves in river work and disaster relief, and ignore everything else.
This did not let the Jiangnan officials relax, but tightened their spirits even more, and restrained their families and subordinates.
There are even the water bandits on the canal.
At the same time, they didn't know what Lord Qincha meant, so they could only be very active in the implementation of the tasks assigned by Qincha, all of them were honest and diligent.
Xu Han dragged Xiao Wei to visit all places in private, and rewarded the outstanding ones to the court, but they were simply inactive, and they stayed to watch the after-effects.
Those who fill their pockets will use the name of Xiao Wei's deputy commander of Jinyiwei to send people to prison and escort them to the capital.
I have to say that Xiao Wei's tiger skin is still very useful.
As for Xiao Wei, the task of escorting the grain and grass for disaster relief was asked for by himself.
In the past few days waiting for the grain ship, Xiao Wei has been accompanying Xu Han everywhere, letting her pull her tiger flag to investigate everywhere.
For a few days, Xu Han felt that something was wrong, I don't know if it was his own delusion, and he always felt that this was a bit loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
It seems that Ma Zhifu must have made a move.
What does he want to do? Xu Han squinted slightly.
"Do you think Governor Ma will make any moves? Or is it directed at us? ”
Xiao stretched his waist and said,
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth."
"Don't be afraid."
Two days later, the grain ship arrived in Huaiyang and stopped at Taohuadu, thirty miles outside the city.
Xiao Wei wants to hand over this grain and grass to the Ma Governor's Mansion.
Because Xu Han still had a place to go, he did not go with Xiao Wei to hand over the grain and grass.
It's just that in the evening, Xiao Wei and Jinyiwei's people didn't come back, which made Xu Han a little surprised.
She met with Chincha-sama.
"You said that the prince of Chengen has not come back yet?" The two Qincha were also taken aback.
The prince of Chengen, the grandson of the eldest princess of Shuyang, the nephew of the noble concubine, is deeply favored by the emperor, if something really happens, no matter how good they do this trip, the credit will be greatly reduced.
"My lord said that someone wants to be unfavorable to the prince of Chengen?" Governor Ma took his hand and asked neatly.
There is no way to come to Ma Zhifu, one she is not particularly familiar with Taohuadu, and there are not many people in her hands now, and the Jin Wuwei brought down, all kinds of assassinations along the way, are scattered everywhere to cultivate.
If you want to go to Taohuadu, you have to let the prefect of Ma send people, but the prefect of Ma ......
"The matter is urgent, Taohuadu is only thirty miles away from here, and I haven't returned at this time, I guess something happened."
"So, please also ask the prefect to bring the state government officials over to see what is going on, if this matter is not windy and shadowy, then I will naturally ask the emperor for guilt."
Ma Zhifu looked at Xu Han, who was thin in front of him, but with a righteous face, and said slowly,
"It's just a handover, although this place is very close to here, but so many people have passed, what should I do when the prince is furious?"
"What's more, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, it is also a state capital in the end, maybe when you go back to the city, the prince will pass by the flower building and go up to drink a few glasses?"
Xu Han was a little angry when he heard this,
Xiao Wei's cunning has always been an illusion, and he is lustful, but it is just a rumor from others.
Moreover, he is a person who has to wipe several times where everyone else sits.
In the end, Governor Ma didn't dare not give it to people, seeing that he agreed to give it to people, where did Xu Han care so much,
But she still went a little slower in the end, and on the shallows of Peach Blossom Crossing, there were boats carrying grain parked.
There was blood and corpses everywhere.
Xu Han's hands trembled a little, and he rummaged around the boat, but found no trace of Xiao Wei, and the other Jin Wuwei who went to search on other ships came over,
"My lord, it's clean here."
The topography of Taohuadu is complex, and several river official roads extend in all directions.
How easy is it to save Xiao Wei?
She walked a short distance on the shoal with her people, and faintly heard the sound of a fight ahead.
Xu Han sent people to look for other places, while she continued to walk forward with a few Jin Wuwei.
A little later, Xu Han saw at a glance who was fighting on the single-plank bridge.
Xiao Wei and several guards were surrounded by a large group of masked men.
I don't know how many times the man in black has come, Xiao Wei's clothes are stained with blood.
He was bleeding from his arm, but he was still fighting with someone, and a sword stabbed through him, and he saw that the masked thief opposite him was dead.
As Xiao Wei's sword was drawn, a stream of blood splattered out.
When the man in black over there saw Xu Han coming with someone, he immediately put his hand to his lips and whistled, Xu Han thought that he had let these thieves get away quickly.
Unexpectedly, it was the man in black who came out.
There are a lot of people in black, and this kind of formation is going to make everyone die here.
Xu Han took the soft sword and joined the battle.
As soon as he faced these people, Xu Han's heart sank, looking at the combat effectiveness, these black-clothed people were not dressed as ordinary sergeants, but some of them looked like martial arts masters.
"How much money did Governor Ma give you? We give it to you tenfold. ”
After Xu Han cooked a man in black, he asked him.
It should be the leader who whistled just now, but at this moment, he was like iron, and he only attacked Xiao Wei with a sword.
"Do you know what the crime of assassinating the prince of the dynasty and the prince of Chengen will be?"
"Let's make a deal, you guys retreat now, we don't pursue this matter, how about it?"
Xu Han said it as much as he could,
"You probably don't know yet, you did such a big thing and killed the two of us, then you can't count on anything, but you will be wiped out."
Xu Han's lips and tongue have never been majestic, hoping that coercion and temptation, even deception, can be used to get words out of the mouth of the man in black.
