Chapter 116 [The Secret That Gongsun Father and Son Can't Say]

(Thank you!) Same as Xie Zhao Wuxian 2014)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The death of the secret witch is a big deal in any tribe, but Su Muyan didn't dare to pursue this matter, and he didn't even dare to speak out. When all the people thought that it was killed by a stray arrow, only Su Fuyan knew in his heart that this arrow was definitely premeditated, and it was simply aimed at the secret witch, and it was definitely not a hellish stray arrow.

Su Muyan even understood that his conspiracy had been discovered, and Ma Han's arrow was to use open killing to break his plot.

How did Ma Han know that he used a witch curse? And how do you find out exactly where it is? Su Yantong asked his daughter and the guards who were watching, and he roughly guessed it. If this was barely acceptable to him, what really frightened him was that the blind shooting from 250 paces away was really terrifying. It seems that the legend says that this person has been at a distance of 400 paces, and it is true that he hit Kebineng hard, but fortunately, the arrow was not aimed at him......

Atou's left leg was badly wounded, bleeding a lot, and his bones were also broken, and he is now being treated by a witch doctor, but fortunately he is not worried about his life.

Su Muyan was very indignant that his son had been hit so badly, but he had to express his gratitude to Ma Han with grievances - his eyes were not blind, of course, he could see that the arrow was merciful. Even Wu Zhu, who was two hundred and fifty steps away, was killed by an arrow, and he was only less than fifty steps away!

It was in this heartwarming, unwilling, but helpless mood that Su Fuyan forced a smile and honestly personally sent Ma Han, Zhou Cang and several wolf tooth flying horsemen out of the tent. Outside the tent was a long list of chariots, horses, and servants.

Running from afar, it was Shi Yan, the young man looked excited and happy, and reported loudly: "Captain Madu, all the entourage, chariots and horses are all in order, and half of the dowry vehicle has been returned." Karasuma people are still trustworthy. ”

Ma Han nodded, in fact, it is not that the Karasuma people are trustworthy, but that the Karasuma people dare not be bad, which has been a custom for thousands of years. Sometimes, if you break a rule, you can only get temporary benefits, but it will destroy the foundation of the world.

Ma Han hugged his fist to Su Fuyan: "King Qiao, there will be a period later." ”

Su Fuyan also returned the salute: "There will be a period later." However, when he said the word "yes", his voice was slurred, and he didn't pay attention to it. It will be heard as the word "none".

Ma Han didn't pay attention to these little things, shook the reins and let the horse gallop, and said loudly to Zhou Cang in the wind: "I ask to leave immediately, it will ruin your good deeds, so that you can't be a guest in the curtain, won't you be unhappy?" ”

Zhou Cang smiled: "To be honest, there is a little bit. However, Lao Zhou is not ignorant, and the Karasuma people are a wolf's den. No one knows if they will turn their backs. Gambling for lust, although Lao Zhou is not a gentleman, he will not stand under the dangerous wall. ”

Ma Han was surprised: "Yes, aren't you illiterate? Do you know that 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'? ”

Zhou Cang snorted: "I often listen to the discussion between Taishi Sima and the white wolf chief. A sentence I learned from it made the castle guard laugh. ”

"Yes, you can learn from a guy named Lu Meng, it's not too late to read and write."

"Lu Meng? Who is it? ”

"It's from the Koto side. You may have the opportunity to meet ...... in the future."

Under the twilight sky, on the boundless field, three groups of people and horses finally converged into a torrent. People are happy and happy.

……

The grassland at night is deep and remote, and in the faint moonlight, tents and bonfires are reflected on the cheerful faces. Zhen's relatives and servants need to use a song and dance to vent their emotions for the rest of their lives. However, the wolf's tooth flying rider did not dare to be careless at all, and all of them were scattered, and the cordon was released for twenty miles. After all, this place is only less than fifty miles away from the siege of King Qiao, and once Su Muyan repents, he can send a large force of cavalry to pretend to be horse thieves, killing people and taking wealth without worrying about his reputation being damaged.

Ma Han is now betting against Su Fuyan, betting that the other party will not dare to be the second.

After receiving the greetings from the Zhen clan one by one, Ma Han came to a tent where four armor-wielding sword-wielding guards wearing hats were guarded. This is different from the guards in the costume of the Central Plains soldiers, that is, the Liaodong armor. When the soldiers saw the horses, they saluted respectfully. In the tent they guarded, there lived a greeting envoy who represented the Liaodong Taishou this time. And this greeting envoy is also Ma Han's old acquaintance - Liaodong Taishou Mansion Hu Cao Zheng, Zheng Gao.

Zheng Gao was lying on the ground covered with thick felt, covered with a blanket, with a bandage on his right chest, and coughing from time to time. Half of the Liaodong attachΓ©s who went with him to greet his relatives were killed, and only four armor soldiers remained, all of whom were captured.

"Since last year, I have met with Ma Jun several times, and I am ashamed to count the most wolf bèi this time!" Zheng Gao's face was full of shame and arched his hand to Ma Han.

Ma Han approached and sat down cross-legged: "How do you feel?" ”

"The arrow is not deep, it should be fine."

"That's good." After Ma Han comforted him a little, he stopped talking.

Zheng Gaoqi said: "Ma Jun has always been bold, why do you say it? ”

Ma Han coughed lightly and said frankly: "It's about the Zhen family." It stands to reason that I have no right to ask, but I have an old relationship with Zhen Yuzhongkun, the head of the Zhen family, which is also an important reason why I helped this time, and it is not entirely because of Gongsun Taishou. ”

Zheng Gao was relieved, and he also heard about Ma Qiang's seizure of his relatives. Going it alone is not only a matter of guts, but more importantly, it is necessary to have the motivation to do so. With Zheng Gao's understanding of Ma Han, he was not enough to take this risk for the sake of Taishou.

"Does Ma Jun want to ask, if Zhen's daughter was robbed, will this marriage be affected?" Zheng Gao is worthy of being a Hu Cao, and he is good at finding problems.

Ma Han nodded, talking to smart people is easy and trouble-free.

"No!" Zheng Gao said flatly, "Liaodong needs food, and Zhen's dowry this time includes 200,000 Hugu rice, which will be shipped next month." This batch of grain is enough to support Liaodong to survive the most difficult year......"

Zheng Gao's words revealed a secret that is not a secret: since the beginning of this year, Liaodong has launched a large-scale sweep of the family.

Gongsun Du's sweep of the Liaodong family was the largest and most thorough among the local warlords in the entire Three Kingdoms period. More than 100 large and small families, including Li Min, the former Hanoi Taishou who took refuge in Liaodong, Liu Zheng, the former Taishou of Youbeiping, and Tian Shao, a wealthy family in the county, were devastated. Liu Zheng crossed the sea and fled, Li Min took refuge on the island, Tian Shao's whole family was executed, and the rest of the families were killed. It was also almost uprooted. In the entire Liaodong, only a few families closely related to the Gongsun clan still exist.

Liaodong thus became the local power of the Three Kingdoms era, where the power of the family was the weakest and the power of the princes was the strongest. Only in this way can the Liaodong Gongsun clan stand tall in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms for half a century, and no retainers betrayed them, and the generals rebelled against these local princes.

The main reason why Gongsun Du dared to toss such a big move was that Liaodong was far away from the Central Plains, the family was not strong, and there was no influential figure in the imperial court at all. Destroy these small families, and the rebound is not big. Of course, in the long run, the uprooting of the family can indeed make the reign of the Gongsun family in Liaodong long-lasting, but with such a major operation, labor pains are inevitable, and lack of food is one of them.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the grain, grass, soldiers, and money of warlords in various places were mostly restricted by local families. The princes are only the spokesmen of the family. There is also such a situation in Liaodong, but Gongsun Du is relatively strong, and the Liaodong family is also weaker, and it cannot be controlled and is counterattacked.

Although Gongsun Du wiped out more than 100 families. However, the money valleys of these families have long been scattered all over the country, and it is difficult to complete them in the short term if they want to collect them one by one. This requires a batch of grain that can solve the urgent need, and Zhen's 200,000 Hugu rice. It was just in time for the rain. For this batch of grain, even if the Zhen family sends a widow, the Gongsun family will not say half a "no".

Ma Han from Zheng Gao's vague information. Drawing inferences from one case to another, touching on analogies, and adding a little bit of original historical knowledge about the Three Kingdoms, it is roughly inferred. Thinking about the joints, Ma Han let out a long breath, and he could finally rest assured...... It's just that why do you feel a faint sense of loss?

"It seems that the marriage will not be affected, but it is ...... I'm afraid Zhen's daughter will still be unable to escape the blame. Ma Han sighed lightly, and then said to Zheng Gao in a joking tone, "She was rescued by me in the name of robbing relatives, and the second son of the Gongsun family won't trouble me because of this, right?" ”

Zheng Gao shook his head: "No." ”

Ma Han frowned and said, "Can Zheng Zheng be sure?" In case this second son is jealous, I am afraid that there will be a sharp rift between me and Gongsun Envoy. Isn't this a typical thankless task, isn't it human inside and out? ”

Zheng Gao hesitated, nodded again, and his voice was sonorous: "No!" ”

Ma Han stared at Zheng Gao in surprise: "Zheng Zheng is very familiar with the second son?" ”

Zheng Gao smiled bitterly: "I know what Ma Jun wants to ask, originally this matter is about the secrecy of the second son, I shouldn't say it, but if I don't say it, Ma Jun will be uneasy in his heart, and it will also affect the uneasiness of White Wolf City." As the days go by, there will be a gap between Ma Jun and Tai Shou...... This is because a small gap causes a big trouble, so it ......"

"Okay, okay, just say it." Ma Han was impatient to listen to his twists and turns.

Zheng Gao gritted his teeth, and finally told a secret about Gongsun Gong: "My brother-in-law is a famous doctor in Xiangping City, he once lost his words after drinking, saying that the second son's penis was congenitally atrophied and could not have intercourse, although he invited a famous doctor, he could not be cured, and it was for the disease of 'heavenly eunuch'......"

Ma Han was shocked, it was really a shocking secret, enough to make headlines in the Three Kingdoms edition!

Ma Han immediately asked: "Does Gongsun Envoy know about this matter?" ”

"These famous doctors are the ones Taishou personally invited......

Ma Han was stunned for a while, and finally understood two things: one was why Gongsun Du would ask for marriage from the Zhongshan Zhen family, who was thousands of miles away. In addition to thinking about the family, the more important point is that even if the Zhen daughter finds out after marriage, she will not be able to ask her mother's family thousands of miles away, and this ugly matter will not spread in Liaodong. And another thing is one of the historical mysteries of the Gongsun family in Liaodong.

Historically, after the death of Gongsun Du, it was his eldest son Gongsun Kang who succeeded the position of Liaodong Taishou, and when Gongsun Kang died, Gongsun Gong was succeeded by him. But Gongsun Gong didn't serve as the king of Liaodong for a few years, and he was ousted by his nephew Gongsun Yuan (the second son of Gongsun Kang) and replaced him.

In the Three Kingdoms period, it was rare for a nephew to be able to oust his uncle from power and be unanimously supported by all the subordinates of his power. Could it be that Gongsun Gong is brutal? Unpopular? Of course not, Gongsun Gong is quite kind, and his governance is relatively moderate. Then why can't he fight a half-eldest nephew with the respect of his own uncle?

The reason is simple, he has no offspring! No retainer would support a lord who has no descendants. I also want to know that after a hundred years of Gongsun Gong, who will take over the throne, of course, it will be Gongsun Yuan! In that case, why not do it in one step and directly support Gongsun Yuan? Save it and be held by him in the future, this is a choice that fools know.

It turns out that Gongsun Gong is not a problem with the birth function, but a congenital eunuch and a natural eunuch!

This marriage is full of deception and has nothing but profit.

Zheng Gao repeatedly told Ma Han to keep the secret - poor Zheng Zheng never expected that this Ma Jun and the Zhen girl had not only known each other for a long time, but also had quite a **. The secret he exposed was simply an opening of the shackles of two hearts that were about to move.

Something, that's going to happen. (To be continued......)
