Chapter 43: A New Crisis
In the second-floor wing room of the Yuanlai Teahouse, Han Yi was lying on the couch and looking at the roof beams in a daze. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Since he was injured and unconscious that day, several days have passed, but fortunately, Han Yu's life is big, and he was only a flesh wound when he was hit by the aftermath of the shell explosion.
Suddenly, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the eager captain Wang Wei walked in, clasped his fists to Han Yu and said, "Han Gongzi is not good!" ”
Han Yu was stunned for a moment, obviously this so-called major event was definitely not the Kou army's invasion of Fengyang City, otherwise how could he recuperate in the house now, I am afraid that he would have been dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded.
"I don't know why it's so alarming!" Han Yu chuckled and motioned for Wang Wei to take a seat and speak slowly.
Wang Wei did not sit down, and said anxiously: "Master Han, Mr. Zhang Qian beheaded two powerful sons and nephews the day before yesterday, and this matter has already made a lot of noise..."
"What!" Han Yu's face was full of shock, and then he beat his chest and sighed, "Brother Zhang is confused!" ”
Han Yu didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, he previously detained Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, and killed Feng Ji, the younger brother of Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Dynasty, even in the future, it can be said that it is to keep Fengyang City in power, Han Yu really can't figure out why Brother Zhang wants to kill the powerful at this juncture.
Just as Wang Wei was about to explain to Han Yu, suddenly the door of the wing room was pushed open again.
A heroic man with an excited face broke in in a hurry, and the person who came was his eldest brother Zhang Tanghuai.
"Brother Han, do you know that the rebels have retreated!" Zhang Tanghuai waved his hand to signal captain Wang Wei to excuse himself, and said to Han Yu with a hearty laugh.
"There is no chance of victory, the imperial court reinforcements are coming, there is a serious shortage of food and grass, the soldiers and generals have no fighting spirit, and I am afraid that the defeat and retreat will be these days!" Han Yu was not surprised that Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to retreat, but he was surprised that the Kou army could continue to besiege Fengyang for several days under such harsh conditions.
"In the past few days, the Kou army has been attacking every day, but the intensity is not as good as once!" Zhang Xianzhong's expression moved, and he suddenly asked puzzled, "Brother Han, you don't seem to be happy?" ”
Han Yu said lightly: "The people are poor, hungry and cold, and it is helpless to uncover the rod, if the corpses under the city are full of people, the little brother should raise a glass with Brother Zhang to celebrate!" ”
As soon as he became famous, Han Yu was not complacent about killing the Kou army, not to mention that Fengyang City still had big troubles to solve.
"What Brother Han said is reasonable, and he has been taught for his brother." When Zhang Tanghuai heard Han Yu's words, his heart was touched, and then he chuckled: "Brother Han is recuperating, and when you recover, you can drink this happy wine for your brother steadily!" Thinking of the wife who did not pass the door, Zhang Tanghuai was also very emotional, when he was tortured by the cane and recuperated in bed, she took care of her clothes beside the bed, and her feelings were very deep, after Han Yu was injured, the woman offered to change the auspicious day and let the little uncle participate in the wedding banquet.
Zhang Tanghuai, who had been in the city for several days without undressing and keeping his knife in his hand, rushed to the teahouse as soon as the Kou army retreated, and while visiting Han Yu, he also told him the news that something good was coming, but he didn't expect Han Yu to seem a little unhappy, which made Zhang Tanghuai a little confused for a while.
"Brother Zhang, everything is okay in Fengyang City?" Han Yu suddenly stared at Zhang Tanghuai and asked.
"Of course, the matter of the porridge shed has full authority to explain," Zhang Tanghuai's tone softened slightly, "There is also a lot of appeasement from the powerful, Brother Han doesn't need to worry about it, just recuperate!" ”
"Alas!" Han Yu sighed slightly, raised his head and said, "I don't know when Brother Zhang told me about killing the son and nephew of the powerful the day before yesterday?" ”
"This..."Zhang Tanghuai was stunned for a moment, then glared at Wang Wei who was standing beside him, and smiled apologetically, "That's right, these two people are full of evil, they actually killed twenty-eight members of the family on their wedding night, and kidnapped the woman who had just gone abroad, and the woman knelt outside the barracks, so naturally she couldn't care about it as a brother!" ”
"I don't know who these two are?" Han Yu asked eagerly.
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, since he committed the murder, he will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market!" Zhang Tanghuai didn't know the identities of the two at the beginning, but it was natural for him to kill people, and he personally supervised the beheading of the two people, because the Kou army was constantly offensive, Zhang Tanghuai was more on the city, and frankly said that until now the identities of the two are not very clear.
"Ridiculous, Brother Zhang, you are confused!"
"Lord Zhang and Han Gongzi, these two are Jiang Zhi, the son of the prefect, and Tang Yunkui, the nephew of Tang Shiji, the left capital of the imperial court!" Wang Wei, who was standing on the side, stepped forward a few steps and interjected, obviously he came prepared, the two of them had investigated, Han Yu only felt a city gate in his chest, and almost fainted on the spot, if it was just the son of the prefect, but he didn't want to have the nephew of Zuodu Yushi.
The position of the imperial history of the capital is to rectify the impeachment of the hundred divisions, identify the wrongs, and supervise the various ways, for the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, the division of discipline, and now kill his nephew, how can there be no reason not to take revenge, there was Feng Ying, the secretary of the criminal department, and now there is a second product, Tang Shiji, the left imperial history, Han Yu has a very strong urge to persuade Zhang Tanghuai to expose the rod.
"Brother Han doesn't need to panic, these two people will kill them if they do a lot of evil, not to mention that Fengyang is thousands of miles away, even if the Zuodu Imperial History and the Criminal Department Shangshu are powerful, they can't just cover the sky with one hand and wait for the opportunity to retaliate, not to mention that the Fengyang defenders are all under the control of my brother!" Zhang Tanghuai took the initiative to comfort Han Yu, in his opinion, this Han brother is good at everything, but he thinks too much, these two people do a lot of evil and deserve to be killed according to the law, the court is thousands of miles away, and they can't fabricate evidence to deceive the saint, for Han Yu's worries, Zhang Tanghuai doesn't think so.
Han Yu sighed slightly, although the eldest brother Zhang Tanghuai was brave and resolute, he was too upright, in the eyes of the powerful people of the current dynasty, who wanted to die didn't need evidence at all, although they didn't have to be in person, but there were countless people who wanted to make meritorious contributions, and the reason why the soldiers of Fengyang fought to the death was to defend their homeland, and it was unknown whether they would forget to die for Zhang Tanghuai, and under Han Yu's defenselessness, a great crisis had shrouded him.
"Brother Zhang, in my opinion, take advantage of the fact that the envoy reinforcements have not yet arrived, find an opportunity to drown the prefect Yan Rongxuan, and find a way to get rid of the original descendants of Qianzong Zhen Xing, and firmly control the battalion in his own hands, in case of accidents in the future!" Han Yu did not avoid his confidant Wang Wei, and suggested to Zhang Tanghuai in a deep voice.
"Brother Han, what are you talking about?" Zhang Tanghuai's face was full of surprise, he really couldn't imagine that Han Yu, who had always been gentle and elegant, would give such a ruthless advice.
"The lower officials are willing to go, you don't have to dirty the hands of adults!" Wang Wei hugged his fists and took the initiative to ask.
"Hugh is talking nonsense, Captain Wang, why are you messing around with Brother Han!" Zhang Tanghuai's face was full of displeasure, and he was very disgusted by Wang Wei's attitude.
Zhang Tang then said to Han Yu in a serious tone: "Zhen Qian has always treated me well, and when he defended the city, he fought shoulder to shoulder, how could he attack and kill his promoted subordinates in order to control the army, Brother Han didn't have to say much, for his brother to be upright, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, as for Feng Ji, Tang Yunkui and others, they were completely to blame, so they really didn't have to worry!" ”
"If Brother Zhang is unwilling to do it, the foolish brother can do it for him, people's hearts are unpredictable, and you must guard against it!" Han Yi was so anxious that he couldn't help but raise his tone and suggest in a deep voice.
Frankly said that in addition to Han Yu's family to Zhang Tanghuai's family, as well as the little sister of the Lin family next door, and the captain Wang Wei, no one in the entire Fengyang City could believe it, and this matter must not be left behind, but at this time, Zhang Tanghuai was in a deep crisis and did not know, so angry that Han Yu wanted to scold, and his strong words had a threatening attitude.
"Brother Han, it's better for you to rest earlier, you don't care about this Fengyang matter!" Zhang Tanghuai sighed slightly and said helplessly, not speculative for more than half a sentence, Zhang Tanghuai, who got up, said to Wang Wei, "From now on, you will be demoted to the commander of the army, and you will be fined for one month, I hope you will reflect on it!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Zhang." Wang Wei bowed, and didn't seem to care about this order.
Zhang Tanghuai glanced at Han Yu for the last time, in his opinion, Han Yu was almost beaten to death by the official because he was holding a strange iron box to attack the government office, so it was inevitable that he would not trust others, and the first time he killed or injured himself, it was inevitable that he would leave psychological trauma, and it was understandable to think about it.
"Brother Zhang, please listen to me!" Han Yu eagerly chased after him, but Zhang Tanghuai had already left, and Han Yu, who was stunned in place, held on to the door of the carriage, and his mood was indescribable for a while.
Captain Wang Wei saw it in his eyes, and naturally understood that Han Yu was uncomfortable, so he muttered for a moment, stepped forward and comforted Han Yu a few steps: "Lord Zhang just eats soft and not hard, presumably it won't be long before he understands Han Gongzi's good intentions." ”
"But I have caused Captain Wang!" Han Yu stood with his hands tied, looking at the slightly gloomy weather outside with his eyes and said apologetically.
"Where is Han Gongzi, he is receiving the grace of saving his life, and he should repay him from the spring, and the little captain is nothing!" Wang Wei smiled heartily.
After a while, Han Yu suddenly stepped to the side and began to pack his clothes under Wang Wei's puzzled gaze.
Han Yu knew that the imperial history of Zuodu and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department would never give up, and when the time came, as long as there was a random excuse, there would be too many people waiting to fall into the well, and it was difficult for Zhang Tanghuai, who had a stubborn temperament, to change his mind, especially if he was delaying time here, it was better to go out to seek a backer, and maybe he could save the lives of Zhang Tanghuai's family.
Although Han Yu hopes to find Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, and let him come forward to speak, at least he can save Zhang Tanghuai's life, but with the disadvantage of exterminating the Kou army, it won't be long before Hong Chengchou will be dismissed, not to mention that Hong Chengchou pursued the Kou army all the way, Han Yu couldn't catch up with and couldn't find this legendary fierce man at all, and the only powerful figure who could speak recently was Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of Xuzhou.
It's just that Zuo Liangyu is extremely ambitious, and he is arrogant and arrogant, how can a powerful person who doesn't even care about the governor be easy to deal with, until now Han Yu didn't think of how to see Zuo Liangyu, let alone persuade him to save Zhang Tanghuai's life, but Han Yu is already desperate, he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe there is hope for a try, but Fengyang Yu Xuzhou still needs time, Han Yu does not dare to delay, although his body is not yet neat, but he still plans to go on the road immediately.
"Brother Han, where are you going?" A timid voice sounded from behind Han Yi.
His whole body stiffened, and he looked back at Lin Wan'er, who was standing in front of the door, and it was Lin Wan'er, who was full of eagerness, and for a while, Han Yu felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
