Chapter Eighty-Seven: Hostages
"What!" Yuan Rui almost stood unsteadily, "No way, how can a butterfly be the murderer of his predecessors!" I'm going to ask you in person. ”
Accompanied by Zhou Zhengzhi, Yuan Rui met Hua Zidu in prison. I saw that his face was much haggard, and he didn't take care of his unkempt hair, and he looked like he had nothing to love. Seeing Yuan Rui coming to visit, he didn't cheer up a little because of this, and finished his salute listlessly and slowly: "How can the criminal minister be able to alarm His Majesty?" ”
Along the way, Yuan Rui thought of several sets of rhetoric, some of them asked sharply, some of them rebuked them directly, and some of them put their hearts into their hearts, and it can be seen that Hanako is in such a depressed and decadent state, and suddenly a sense of desolation came to his heart, grabbed the prison door and choked up: "Butterfly, you have lost weight......
Hanako's body trembled slightly, snorted, and it took a long time before she could speak: "The guilty minister is responsible for Your Majesty......"
Zhou Zhengzhi on the side saw that Hanako was so moved, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "General Hua, now that Your Majesty is here, please tell me if you have any troubles!" Both the lower officials and His Majesty know your personality very well, including the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and all the people of the world, and they will not believe that it was General Hua that killed General Shangguan. He was stunned for a while and laughed at himself, "Xiaguan is really incompetent as a court lieutenant, and there are some innocent people in prison, Master Jueyuan is first, His Majesty is last, and now you General Hua have been imprisoned, if General Hua can't be acquitted, Xia Guan will have no face to continue to stay in this position." ”
Huazi retorted with red eyes and persuaded Zhou Zhengzhi: "The sinner is guilty of his own crimes, what does it have to do with Duke Zhou?" Duke Zhou must not be moved by the idea of retreating because of the sinful ministers, Your Majesty still needs you, and I still need you in Dawei! ”
"Don't I need you?" Yuan Rui's words instantly made Hanako burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, don't say it again, if there is an afterlife, the guilty minister will lead the horse and whip for Your Majesty again, and go to the soup and fire!" Until this moment, Hanako is still reluctant to say what happened.
After persuading for a long time, it was still nothing, Yuan Rui knew that it would be in vain to ask again, and gently pulled Zhou Zhengzhi away: "If the butterfly insists on refusing to change its words, what should it do according to the law?" ”
Zhou Zhengzhi swallowed: "Article 1 of the Great Wei Statute, the murderer dies ......" Thinking about it, he added, "But if Your Majesty gives amnesty, the death can be reduced by one class and changed to a border." ”
Yuan Rui said without worry: "This matter will not be so simple, I am afraid that Sun Rong will bite it tightly." ”
After the two left, Hanako's already stagnant mood in prison rippled again, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. It all came so suddenly, even if he had been told that he would be in prison this morning, he would have called him a "madman" and he would have been blown away.
However, it really happened, it turned out that early this morning, Hanako was as usual, habitually teasing her daughter. Hua Yiyi had to take charcoal to paint her beard on her face, but Huazi couldn't persuade her, so she could only take the charcoal from her hand.
This time Hua Yiyi was completely annoyed, and instantly used her trick - crying. In a moment, the tears were raining down, and the ground under his feet was spilled wet. In addition to tears, there was also a lot of snot on his face, which looked very sad.
As long as Hua Zidu saw her daughter crying, her heart softened, although she knew that she was unreasonable, she was still worried for a while, and hurriedly took her sleeves to help her wipe her tears: "Yiyi doesn't cry!" The little face is crying dirty! Daddy wipes you up! ”
I didn't want Hua Yiyi to stop crying immediately when she heard this, and said to Huazi angrily: "When Daddy wipes it clean, Yiyi will cry again!" ”
Hanako couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the little guy dared to pretend to cry and sympathize. After wiping her clean, he deliberately said, "Okay, wipe it clean, you can continue to cry!" ”
Hua Yiyi sniffled twice, pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "I can't cry......"
Just when Hanako was immersed in the fun of teasing her beloved daughter, suddenly the family Ding Huaqi came to report: "General! Han Sikong sent someone to ask for a meeting, saying that he had something important to discuss with the general. ”
"Nope! Not negotiable! Hanako refused.
Hanachi didn't leave just yet, Hanako looked at him suspiciously: "Is there anything else?" ”
Hua Qi: "Someone said they knew the whereabouts of General Shangguan Qian. ”
Shangguan Qian's disappearance for two days, Hanako was worried, and immediately changed her attitude when she heard the words: "Please!" ”
Like Han Yan, he was dressed as a scribe, but with two mustaches and a pair of small eyes, he looked more explicit than Han Yan's treacherously. Hanako forcibly suppressed the disgust in her heart: "Sir, your surname? ”
Visitor: "My surname is Tian, Tian Jie." ”
Hanakodu: "Mr. Tian said that he knows the whereabouts of General Shangguan, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Tian Jie: "The villain is just a messenger, and the specific inside story will not be known until the general meets Han Sikong." ”
Hanakoto: "Then Mr. Lao will lead the way." Turning his head and instructing Hua Qi, "Take care of Yiyi, don't let her paint her beard!" ”
Hua Qi nodded vigorously: "Knowing the general, you can rest assured to go!" ”
After entering the Han Mansion, Han Yan received Hua Zidu "warmly", and urged his subordinates to sit down for tea. Looking at him with a pretentious attitude, Hanako didn't feel sick to his stomach: "Han Sikong doesn't have to bother, just leave after a while!" ”
Han Yan was still "smiling": "Not busy!" Not busy! General Hua, you are in a hurry when you come to our house for the first time? ”
Hanako didn't bother to talk to him: "Dare to ask Han Sikong, where is General Shangguan?" ”
Han Yan didn't seem to hear his words: "Oh! Han remembered that General Hua must be in a hurry to go back to his house to see his baby daughter! In this way, there is no need to turn back in a hurry, Han has already picked up Ling Yan for the general, no need to thank Han! Raising his hand and slapping his palms lightly, Hua Qi appeared at the door leading to the inner hall with Hua Yi in his arms, followed by Sun Wei and Sun Chaozong on the left and right.
When Hua Yiyi saw Hua Zidu, her already red eyes burst again, and she cried and stretched out her arms to him: "Daddy! I want Daddy! ”
Hanakoto's heart seemed to be crushed, and two cold rays in her eyes went straight into Hua Qi's eyes: "Hua Qi'......"
Hua Qi lowered his head in shame.
Han Yanpi smiled and said: "General Hua, don't blame Hua Qi, in order to let the general meet Ling Yan at this time, the general just left the house with his front foot, and Hua Qi hurriedly rushed here with a shortcut on his back foot, which is very hard!" ”
Hanako kicked hard with her right foot, flew forward, and pounced straight at Hua Qi and Hua Yiyi.
Seeing that Hua Yiyi was within reach, she was stopped by Sun Wei, who jumped out horizontally. "Brother Hua, it's better not to act rashly!" Sun Wei said lightly towards the Hanako, who was almost out of control.
"Sun Wei! When Hua was recuperating in Huaiwu, he also said that you are a man, and I didn't expect it to be the same despicable and shameless! What kind of ability is it to bully a little girl like this! Hanako said angrily.
Sun Wei was unmoved, but replied expressionlessly: "Each is his master, Brother Hua forgive me!" ”
Han Yan's voice sounded from behind: "For the sake of Ling Yan, General Hua had better listen to General Sun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is better to value peace, wouldn't it be humiliating to fight and kill?" ”
Hanako looked up and saw that he was smiling and pinching Hua Yiyi's face, and Hua Yiyi had a resistant expression; "Bad guys, go away! The bad guys go away! ”
Hanako slowly dropped her fists and said to Han Yan, "What does Han Sikong think?" Go ahead! ”
Han Yan was still in that unhurried tone: "General Hua asked Han just now, where is General Shangguan?" Han can now answer General Hua, he is dead! ”
Hanako froze instantly when she heard this, as if five lightning strikes the top, her eyes were round and round in shock, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Han Yan had expected him to have such an expression, so he deliberately stopped and didn't say anything, and admired it with interest for a while before he continued: "And the person who killed General Shangguan is General Hua, you!" ”
Hanako only felt a tingling on her scalp: "This is the real purpose of Han Sikong looking for Hua?" ”
Han Yan smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty is afraid that you have seen the corpse of General Shangguan at this moment, General Hua killed someone, should you go to the Tingwei Mansion to surrender?" ”
Hua Zidu: "If Hua resists this crime, Han Sikong will release the little girl?" ”
Han Yan: "This is natural, General Hua treats her like a jewel, but Han doesn't like children, and to be honest, staying in the house is quite a hindrance." It's just that this murder is not a small crime, and it is His Majesty's cronies who died, so I dare not guarantee whether General Hua will be able to see Ling Yan Han alive! ”
Hua Zidu: "How did Hua know that after the matter was completed, would Han Sikong regret it?" ”
Han Yan smiled: "Could it be that General Hua has other ways to go besides believing in Han?" Leaving Hua Yiyi to come to Hanakoto, he looked at Hanakodu's eyes with great "sincerity", and stretched out a fist, "A gentleman's word!" ”
Hanako snorted coldly, and said in his heart, what kind of gentleman are you, stretched out his hand and touched his fist lightly, but he didn't say the next half of the sentence, "Whip the horse quickly!" ”
Hanako turned to leave, but Han Yan stopped him again.
Just as Huazi was looking at Han Yan suspiciously, he hugged Hua Yiyi in Hua Qi's hand and patted Hua Qi's shoulder: "General Hua is leaving, why don't you go back together?" Do you still want to stay in our house to eat? ”
Hua Qi was shocked when he heard this, and knelt down in front of Han Yan's feet with a plop, looked at Han Yan and then at Hua Zidu, and said with a crying voice: "Han Sikong, you are good!" Han Sikong, you're good! ”
I have to say that this Han Yan pretended to be stupid and was really underwhelmed, but I saw that he had an incomprehensible expression: "Hua Qi, why did you make this big gift, how bad it is for outsiders to see it!" Say no more, but go back as soon as you master and servant! Han still has some things, so he will be out of company, you can do it yourself! As he spoke, he beckoned Sun Wei and the two to enter the inner hall.
"Han Sikong!" This time, it was Hanako who stopped him, "Thank you!" ”
"You're welcome!" Han Yan didn't look back, leaving only two words.
Looking at Han Yan looking at him from his shoulder, Hua Yiyi's expectant eyes slowly disappeared behind the door, and Hua Zi shouted with all her strength: "Yiyi! Don't be afraid! Daddy will definitely come to pick you up! I don't know if she heard it.
After Han Yan and the three left, only Hua Zidu and Hua Qi were left in the empty lobby, and Hua Qi trembled and crawled to Hua Zidu on his knees: "General, the villain was confused for a while, for the sake of the villain who has followed the general for many years, please give the villain a chance to reform himself......"
Hanako grabbed Hua Qi's collar and lifted him up in the air: "You have indeed followed me for many years, so you should know that no matter who you move, you can't move Yiyi!" ”
Hua Qi was so frightened at this moment that she could only watch as Hanako's right fist was raised high above her head, getting closer and bigger, and then landing heavily on her cheek. A sharp pain came, as if accompanied by the sound of broken bones, and several teeth and blood were spit out by Hua Qi, and before he could slow down, he was punched hard in the nose.
One, two, three...... Hanako couldn't remember how long she had been fighting, but she knew that her right hand had long since lost feeling, and the drops of bright red liquid dripping from the back of her hand had long since made it impossible to tell whether it belonged to Hua Qi or her own. After a long time, Hanako let go of her left hand, leaving behind the unrecognizable corpse of Hanachi.
