"In vain, my uncle Wang has been living in vain for forty years, and he boasts that his heart is like an ancient well that can't make waves, but who knows that he still can't quit being impatient. Alas......"

Wang Bodang beat his chest in annoyance and sighed, "It's too impulsive, I'm still too impulsive!" I shouldn't have killed him with a knife! ”

Guo Ye looked at his self-pity, and knew very well that it was useless to be in a hurry now, so he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "There is no regret medicine in this world, since you have done it, you have done it, no wonder you dare not come to visit my house openly, and you have to secretly hide in Luoshuifang in this slum, it turns out that you have committed a murder!" ”

Speaking of this, Guo Ye actually wondered in his heart, with a former hero like Wang Bodang, he has always been a daring character, even if he killed someone, he would not be able to flee to Chang'an to find him in embarrassment. With his ability, it's a big deal to retire and hide in the mountains and forests for a lifetime but survive, so that this murder case becomes a headless public case, why bother to run to Chang'an to find his own rescue? Moreover, although Wang Bodang did not want to see His Majesty Li Er, he led the wolf army to capture Tuyuhun on the spot under his own planning, but he had a merit to the Tang Dynasty. As long as he must let go of his past prejudices and be willing to bow his head to His Majesty Li Er and enter the palace to face the saint, he will definitely be able to rely on his past merits and past friendships to let His Majesty Li Er give him credit and pardon his murder!

Under the abnormal situation, Guo Ye was even more curious, but also a little suspicious.

He muttered secretly, could it be because of the unusual reason for the person killed by Wang Bodang?

Immediately, he hurriedly asked: "Senior Wang, since the incident has happened, it is useless to beat your chest and regret it now, tell me, who did you kill?" ”

When Wang Bodang heard this, he picked up the wine jar on the table, poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it casually, then wiped the wine stains on his mouth, looked at Guo Ye and spit out word by word: "The new general of Tugu Hun Dao who has not been appointed for a long time - Duan Zhide. ”

Duan Zhide?

Guo Ye was stunned, because he didn't have a deep impression of this person.

Seeing this, Wang Bodang immediately explained in a low voice: "The general who guarded Tuyuhun Road was originally Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, but Li Xiaogong later supported his troops and rebelled against Li Yuan in an attempt to rebel, and was cut off and sent back to Chang'an. You should be clear about this. ”

Guo Ye nodded, and made it clear, because on that day in the court, it was his people who directly threw Li Xiaogong's head into the hall from outside the palace, shocked the gang of eldest grandson Wuji, and indirectly took down King Lu and others.

However, later he was ordered to send an envoy to Tibet, and there was a civil strife in Tibet, and he avoided the Tianzhu Kingdom, during which there were many changes in the Chang'an court, and he did not know.

For example, Duan Zhide in Wang Bodang's mouth, he has almost never heard of this person's name, let alone is familiar with it.

Suddenly such a number one person appeared, and he also took the position of the general of the town guard Tugu Hun Dao, and he was really a little confused. You must know that Tuyuhun has only returned to Tang not long ago, and this position is very important, and the person who can serve in this position is definitely not an idle person.

But now, he had barely heard of this man.

Wang Bodang looked at Guo Ye frowning and shaking his head, with a puzzled expression, so he guessed Guo Ye's thoughts, so he explained: "You have not been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time before, let alone in Chang'an, so it is normal that you have never heard of Duan Zhide's appointment as the general of Tuyuhun. And Duan Zhide is not a great person at all, with your current status, it is normal to be unfamiliar with him. This person had previously served as the deputy commander of the march in Xikaidao, and later after Li Xiaogong's death, he was appointed by the imperial court as the general who guarded Tuyuhun, which was a step to the sky. ”

Guo Ye sighed and asked, "Is there something unusual about this person being able to ascend to the sky in one step from the deputy head of a march, and being appointed to guard a seven cities in Tuyuhun?" ”

"Exactly!"

Uncle Wang said: "Just because he has a good brother, and his brother must be known to you." ”

Guo Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who?" ”

Wang Bodang sighed and said: "Today's Tang Dynasty Fan Guogong, Duan Zhixuan, who was the head of the household department at that time!" ”

Duan Zhixuan?

Fan Guogong Duan Zhixuan?

Guo Ye stroked his forehead lightly and said secretly, why didn't I think of it? Duan Zhixuan Duan Zhide, isn't it obvious, just because the name is not a brother, it is somewhat related.

A few days ago, regarding the migration of Buddhism in the Central Plains to Fusang, His Majesty Li Er also issued an order to let the six Shangshu cooperate with him, and Guo Ye and Duan Zhixuan also had a meeting. Because the other party is in charge of the household department, whether it is household registration or money and grain allocation, Guo Ye has to vigorously borrow from the other party.

However, Duan Zhixuan also has a younger brother, and he really hasn't heard the other party say it, after all, the friendship has not yet reached that point.

Now among the six Shangshu of the imperial court, most of them have their own factions and camps, since the old ministers of Wude were driven out of the court, and the eldest grandson Wuji was dismissed and cut off, the Hubu Shangshu has changed one after another, and now this Zhixuan is the Hubu Shangshu personally designated by His Majesty Li Er.

And Duan Zhixuan's people are not in the three lines, and he has won the trust of His Majesty Li Er.

Guo Ye counted Duan Zhixuan's past, and it seems that after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he started from serving as the Jinzhou Assassin and rose all the way to the head of the Xihai Road March. Later, he was recalled to Chang'an by His Majesty Li Er, because he couldn't find a suitable position for a while, so he was idle for a long time, and it was not until recently that he was used as the post of head of the household. No wonder Duan Zhide was able to march from Xihaidao to the deputy commander, it was His Majesty Li Er who wanted to compensate

Duan Zhixuan, so he made up for this favor on his younger brother Duan Zhide?

But it's too late to think about these now, because Wang Bodang has already killed Duan Zhide with a knife.

The general who guarded the Tuyuhun Road, the dignified Fan Guogong and the brother of the Hubu Shangshu were killed, how can this matter be taken lightly? It's too big.

Guo Ye is difficult to understand now, Wang Bodang and Duan Zhide should be incompatible, why would Wang Bodang kill him?

So, he asked, "Do you have a grudge against Duan Zhide in the past?" ”

Wang Bodang shook his head and said: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, this person was just a small captain, and a certain family had never had a disagreement with him. Hehe, he's not qualified either. ”

day, at this time, he was still pretending to be forced, and Guo Ye was speechless for a while.

So he asked again: "Is that because you and his brother Duan Zhixuan?" ”

Wang Bodang still shook his head and said, "Although Duan Zhixuan also made outstanding achievements in the Great War at the end of the Sui Dynasty, I have no contact with him, and I can't talk about it. ”

Since it was not a vendetta, Guo Ye asked again: "Could it be that Duan Zhide, this person, did something corrupt and perverted the law after becoming the general of Tugu Hun Dao, so you couldn't see it, and directly cut him off in anger?" ”

Wang Bodang still shook his head and said: "After this person became the Tuyuhun Dao, although he was mediocre, he also lived in peace to guard the seven cities of Tuyuhun. ”

Isn't that the reason?

Guo Yefei explained: "This is not either, that is not either, so why did you kill him in a good manner?" With your temperament, how could you kill a general who guarded the town for no reason? Senior Wang, tell me the truth, what crime does Duan Zhide have that deserves your action to kill him? ”

Wang Bodang smiled bitterly: "No, no, didn't a certain family say it?" It's a man who shouldn't be killed! ”

"What do you mean is to kill ??? by mistake?"

Guo Ye was shocked: "Is there any misunderstanding here?" ”

Wang Bodang said: "To be exact, it's not a wrongful killing!" ”

"The preface is not right, the preface is not the afterword, it is not the person who should be killed, and it is not the wrong hand to kill it!"

Guo Ye spread his hands and said a little angrily: "What is the reason why you killed Duan Zhide, so that you fled from Tuyuhun in such a mess and hid back to Chang'an to find me?" ”

Wang Bodang sighed, lowered his head and was a little ashamed to speak, but under Guo Ye's aggressive gaze, he finally told the truth: "Because of a woman!" ”

it!

Because of a woman?

Wang Bodang, this once powerful figure, this man who is already in his forties, actually killed a general who guarded a seven-city because of a woman!

It's incredible!

It's even more ridiculous!!

In disbelief, he asked again, "Are you sure?" Just because of a woman, because of love... Love Kill??? ”
