Chapter 114: Assassination Intent
Chapter 114: Assassination Intent
Golden State City.
Han Zhong's residence is a three-hall courtyard. This three-entry courtyard is located in the downtown of Jinzhou City, and it is definitely a wealthy home in Jinzhou City to have a three-entry courtyard in the downtown of Jinzhou City.
This three-sized courtyard is the shelter where He Shibao rewarded Han Zhong. As a staff member, he can have such favorable living conditions, which shows that He Shibao treats Han Zhong well and attaches great importance to Han Zhong as a staff member.
At dusk, Han Zhong ran out of food early. At the beginning of the shift, I was dressed wide and ready to go to bed. Han Zhong's daily life pays attention to the rules, usually at sunrise to He Shibao's mansion to start the day's work, unless He Shibao has something important to leave Han Zhong to discuss together.
Under normal circumstances, Han Zhong goes home at dusk, and after eating, the greatest pleasure is to tease his four-year-old son, and rest during the first shift.
Han Zhong rested relatively early, and Han Zhong moved his family to Jinzhou only after he was a staff member for He Shibao, and he was not a native of Jinzhou. Han Zhong also had few visitors, so the courtyard gate of Han Zhong's house was closed early.
After He Shizhong returned to Jinzhou, he did not go directly back to his mansion in Jinzhou. Instead, he came to Han Zhong's residence first.
He Shizhong rarely dealt with Han Zhong, and the deepest memory of Han Zhong was the last time Han Zhong instigated him to assassinate He Fangxiong. In addition, He Shizhong only knew that Han Zhong was the most relied on staff of his father He Shibao, and He Shizhong knew nothing about Han Zhong's other things.
Han Zhong's house had already closed the courtyard door at the beginning of the shift, He Shizhong thought that there was no one in Han Zhong's house, looked at the closed door of Han Zhong's house, looked away and was about to leave.
At this time, a personal soldier beside He Shizhong reminded He Shizhong: "The Han staff is not at home, the Han staff has the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. ”
He Shizhong was skeptical, but after listening to the words of the soldier, he stepped forward and knocked on a copper ring on the door.
Han Zhong's life is relatively simple and monotonous, and there are no other subordinates in the family except for a middle-aged woman who is responsible for laundry.
Han Zhong and his wife and children were ready to sleep at this time, and it was the only person in Han Zhong's family who opened the door for He Shizhong. A middle-aged woman.
After the door of Han Zhong's house opened, an old yellow face leaned out: "The master has already slept, and the guests will come back tomorrow." ”
The subordinates of the Han Zhong family were sleepy-eyed, and opened the door while rubbing their eyes, and the corners of their eyes did not know how long they had been accumulating.
The descendants of Han Zhong's family may be accustomed to being in Han Zhong's family and are used to Han Zhong's way of life. I was a little impatient with the fact that there were still people coming to visit at this point, and after saying this, I had to close the door and chase away the customers.
He Shizhong's personal soldiers pressed the door with one hand and said, "Tell Han Zhong that the prince is visiting, don't be ignorant!" ”
He Shizhong's personal soldiers spoke unceremoniously, and the subordinates of the Han Zhong family opened their eyes in fright. He Shizhong is a celebrity in Jinzhou, and no matter how shallow the Han Zhong family's subordinates are, they can also recognize He Shizhong.
The subordinates of Han Zhong's family turned pale with fright, and turned back to our courtyard in a panic to inform Han Zhong.
"Why did the prince go back to Jinzhou today?" Han Zhong didn't dare to slack off when he learned that He Shizhong was visiting, so he got dressed and went out to welcome He Shizhong into the hospital. made a pot of tea to entertain He Shizhong.
While pouring tea for He Shizhong, Han Zhong was still thinking: Why did He Shizhong go back to Jinzhou at this time, and he came to him.
He wasn't worried that He Shizhong would leak out what happened last time. Although He Shizhong said that he was a gentleman, he was still trustworthy, saying that he would never poke out that incident as if it had not happened. Besides, even if this matter is poked out, it will not be good for He Shizhong, and He Shizhong will not be stupid enough to do such a thing that harms others and himself.
However, what is He Shizhong's intention in coming to see him? Han Zhong really couldn't figure it out.
After the tea was poured, He Shizhong had no intention of moving the tea to drink.
Han Zhong was a very casual person, and after persuading He Shizhong a few times that he didn't mean to use tea, Han Zhong drank it by himself.
He Shizhong had already handed over his entourage to retreat and avoid, and at this time, only He Shizhong and Han Zhong were left in the huge courtyard. It looks a little empty.
"I'm going to assassinate He Fangxiong."
After a long time, He Shizhong finally spit out a sentence.
The tea that Han Zhong had just eaten spat out, and seemed to be choking a little, and kept coughing for a while before stopping.
Han Zhong looked at He Shizhong suspiciously: He Shizhong kept his face calm and did not speak, his expression was quite serious, not like he was joking.
Han Zhong was confused, last time he was so good at persuasion, he risked his head to persuade He Shizhong to assassinate He Fangxiong, but He Shizhong didn't agree. This time, He Shizhong personally came to the door and said that he wanted to assassinate He Fangxiong. It's only been a few days, what kind of trouble is this He Shizhong going to make?
"The prince said last time that he had done things for the leopard master for ten years, and those words were not said by the little one."
With a snap, He Shizhong slapped his palm on the tea case, the tea cup was shaken, and the tea water that flowed out dripped to the ground along the edge of the tea case.
Han Zhong was taken aback, and at this time He Shizhong spoke: "A few days ago was a few days ago, and now my master has figured it out." ”
He Shizhong made up his mind, and Han Zhong no longer avoided the topic when he saw that He Shizhong was not like a pretentious gesture.
He Shilong and He Shibao are already incompatible, He Fangxiong is like a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time. A power struggle within the He family is inevitable.
Han Zhong served on He Shibao's side, and Han Zhong naturally hoped that He Shibao would win this power struggle within the He family.
He Shilong and He Shibao competed for the position of the head of the He family, no matter whether He Shilong or He Shibao won in the end, at least the two of them would not have to worry about their lives. He Shizhong will not worry about his life.
The struggle for power and profit is the struggle for power and profit, and the He family has no precedent for killing brothers and nephews who are related by blood. Remembering the affection of compatriots, the victorious side will at most put the losing side under house arrest for life.
But for these of them, the He people will think that they are behind the scenes to instigate the infighting between their brothers. If He Shilong wins this power struggle within the He clan, Han Zhong, as He Shibao's chief staff, will be lightly stabbed. Han Zhong is most worried about taking his wife and children with him.
"Since the prince has figured it out, the little one is sent by the prince, what does the prince have to say, but it doesn't matter."
"Do you know a reliable Assassin? How sure are you that you will succeed in assassinating He Fangxiong? He Shizhong asked.
"In my early years, I wandered the rivers and lakes and met some outlaws. But they're all money-eyed guys. ”
"It's not a question of how many taels of silver you want, as long as this thing can be done, even if it costs 10,000 taels. This son also gave it. He Shizhong's eyes widened with anger.
The humiliating scene of being beaten in his own mansion in Gaizhou City surfaced in front of his eyes. As soon as He Fangxiong died, after He Shibao ascended to the throne, he He Shizhong was the son of the patriarch of the He clan. Without He Fangxiong to rely on, didn't He Tengxiao rely on him He Shizhong? (To be continued.) )
