The official immediately said softly: "Lord Hui, Xiao Shang and Young Master Xiao Mingtang have been hanged."

Han Mo's body shook, his face showed surprise, and asked, "Who?" Who was hanged? ”

"The Ministry of Works, Shang Xiao Huaijin, and his eldest son Xiao Mingtang," the clerk replied respectfully.

Han Mo opened his mouth, he couldn't speak for a while, he looked incredulous, for a while, he finally thought that Xiao Lingzhi was in the tent behind him, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Follow me" took the official to distance himself from the tent, and asked solemnly: "What's going on?" How was he hanged? ”

The official replied: "My lord, the matter started with Xiao Mingtang. In the Chinese New Year's Eve, a lantern festival was held in Beijing, and the relatives of the adults went to the street to see the lanterns, but they happened to meet Xiao Mingtang, who was actually leading people to assassinate people on the street......"

Han Mo was taken aback, his expression changed suddenly, and without waiting for the official to finish, he lost his voice and said, "But someone is injured?" ”

The official hurriedly said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry, your lord's relatives were just a little surprised, and no one was injured." ”

When Han Mo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, his face turned cold, and he asked, "Can you find out why Xiao Mingtang is so crazy?" ”

"My lord, Taishi Xiao returned to his hometown and was stabbed, many ...... Many rumors say it is...... It's ......," the clerk didn't dare to say for a while.

"What is it?" Han Mo said coldly: "One fifteen and ten, say it all, don't have any taboos." ”

The official immediately said solemnly: "My lord, Taishi Xiao was assassinated, and many people in the capital said that it was related to the Han family, and many people in the Xiao family believed that the Han family sent someone to secretly assassinate him. That Xiao Mingtang may have wanted to avenge Taishi Xiao, so when he saw the adult's family, he was impulsive, so he made a move at the lantern festival......"

"A stupid pig." Han Mo sneered, glanced at the officials, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure that my family has not had an accident?" ”

"The subordinates dare not hide it, the adult's family members are indeed not injured, but they should be a little frightened." The clerk replied.

Han Mo nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask, "What happened later?" ”

"Xiao Mingtang was caught red-handed by the people in the Lord's Mansion." The official said: "That night, he was sent directly to Dali Temple, and Lord Hu of Dali Temple directly put Xiao Mingtang in prison. ”

"You said that Xiao Huaijin was also hanged?" Han Mo frowned and said, "How did he get involved?" ”

"After the incident, the Xiao family was shaken and filed a lawsuit in Dali Temple, but Xiao Mingtang was assassinated on the street, and the human and material evidence was complete, and it could not be denied." The official replied: "Although the Xiao family has made many efforts, Xiao Mingtang's crime has been decided, and he was hanged. It is said that the cabinet argued for a long time, but the final verdict was not overturned, Xiao Mingtang's death sentence was decided, and the officials of the Xiao family attacked and asked the Holy Lord to make a ruling, and the Holy Majesty ordered him to be hanged in accordance with the judgment negotiated by the cabinet. But the day before Xiao Mingtang was hanged, a group of people sneaked into Dali Temple and wanted to rescue Xiao Mingtang, but they were ambushed. That night, Dali Temple seemed to be loosely guarded, but it had already ambushed heavy troops, and the men who went to rescue Xiao Mingtang were all captured, including Xiao Mingtang's father, Shang Xiao Huaijin of the Ministry of Works."

Han Mo's expression was solemn, his mind was like lightning, from the death of Xiao Taishi to the hanging of Xiao Huaijin's father and son, a line thought about it, and he had already realized that this was a huge game.

Xiao Taishi's death was the lead of this game, and Xiao Mingtang's impulsive action was to ignite a powder keg.

Xiao Mingtang was sentenced to hanging, Xiao Huaijin naturally couldn't accept it, that was his only son, he took a risk, but he was ambushed and captured, this crime of robbing the prison is not a misdemeanor.

Since it was an intentional ambush and deliberately lured Xiao Huaijin to the bait, it was in itself to put Xiao Huaijin to death.

Hu Xuexin, the secretary of Dali Temple, is naturally involved in it, so is it Hu Xuexin who laid down this bureau?

Han Mo keenly felt that the real trader who laid out this game this time was only his own Han family.

"After Xiao Huaijin was captured, he was immediately put in prison." The official said solemnly: "Only three days later, Dali Temple announced the verdict, Xiao Huaijin knew that he had broken the law, led people to rob the prison, the crime was unforgivable, he was first dismissed from office, and then he was also sentenced to hanging, which was to give Xiao Huaijin and his son a whole corpse. ”

When Han Mo heard this, he didn't have the slightest excitement.

Instead of excitement, there was a chill.

At this time, he deeply felt the importance of Xiao Huaiyu to the Xiao family, when Xiao Huaiyu was sitting in the northwest, the Xiao family was in the position of the nine great families, and the Yan State was full of Xiao family's henchmen, and the Han family at that time was extremely weak in the court, and even could only look at the face of the Xiao family.

But the feng shui took turns, Xiao Huaiyu left, and the entire Xiao family fell like a rocket, and a family that once called for wind and rain withered quickly in a short period of time.

As a result, Han Mo felt the importance of military power in Xiao Huaiyu's hands.

The maintenance of the Xiao family is not the resources of their own clan, in the final analysis, it is because of the military power in Xiao Huaiyu's hands.

Han Mo even knew that now that the Han family had suddenly risen, there was certainly a reason why the Han faction officials occupied many important positions, but from a certain point of view, it was because of the military power in his hands.

In fact, he has faintly become the pillar of the rise of the Han family.

He knew the importance of holding military power in his hands, and he also knew that as long as the military power in his hands fell into the hands of others, then the Han family might not end up better than other families.

On the top of the Han family's head, there was always a sword blade, as long as there was a flaw, Han Mo believed that the sword would cut down ruthlessly.

……

Han Mo is not a soft-hearted person, but for some reason, the people of the Xiao family have fallen one after another, but it makes Han Mo always have a very depressed feeling.

This feeling may come from his respect for Xiao Huaiyu and his friendship for Xiao Lingzhi.

The so-called love for Wu and hatred of Wu and Wu, Han Mo may not have a good impression of Xiao Taishi and the others, but he really doesn't want them to die like this.

Seeing Han Mo's strange expression, the officials seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't dare to disturb.

After a long time, Han Mo asked, "Is it ...... Already hanged? ”

The official nodded: "The judgment of Dali Temple is very fast, after three days of trial, he was sentenced to hanging, and two days later, he was executed."

Han Mo knew in his heart that since he intended to kill Xiao Huaijin's father and son, the other families would naturally start as soon as possible, and it was inevitable that they would have a lot of dreams at night, without Xiao Taishi and Xiao Huaiyu, how could the rest of the Xiao family be the opponents of other families.

When Han Mo sighed a little in his heart, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Lingzhi's figure at the tent door, she put on the hat again, but her head was raised, and those eyes were looking this way.

Han Mo smiled bitterly in his heart.

He had already gotten the news of Taishi Xiao's death, but he never told Xiao Lingzhi, but now that the Xiao family had such a big event, should he still hide it from her?

He waved his hand, ordered the officials to retreat for the time being, and walked over slowly, only to see Xiao Lingzhi's face a little pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly, Han Mo only noticed at this time that by Xiao Lingzhi's side, Xiao Jun didn't know when he had appeared.

He frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that when the officials reported just now, Xiao Jun seemed to be next to him, looking at Xiao Lingzhi's appearance, Xiao Jun seemed to have told Xiao Lingzhi that Xiao Huaijin and his son were hanged.

He sighed, went over to hold Xiao Lingzhi's hand, and said softly: "It's too cold outside, go inside and talk"

In the account, Xiao Lingzhi's eyes were already silently shedding tears.

Han Mo looked at Xiao Jun's words and sighed, he couldn't say anything about this, since Xiao Jun had already told Xiao Lingzhi, so as not to embarrass himself, he groaned slightly, and then said: "Don't be too sad, the matter has already been born, and it can't be changed." ”

Although Xiao Lingzhi knew that Xiao Huaijin's father and son were killed, she didn't know the situation of Xiao Taishi, but with her cleverness, she also had an ominous premonition, and her voice trembled slightly: "Grandpa, he ......"

Han Mo looked solemn, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xiao Lingzhi's eyes, and nodded slightly.

Xiao Lingzhi shook her head and said sadly: "Over the years, he has ...... me Graceful"

Han Mo took her in his arms and said softly: "The battle between the family has always been so bloody, either you die or I die......"

……

Yanjing City.

The Northwest Army sent troops to Linyang Pass, defeated the Wei army, and the coalition army took Tingshui Pass in one fell swoop.

Yan has not sent troops to fight for many years, and Xiao Huaiyu repelled the Qing army to regain the lost territory, which made the whole country rejoice, and that kind of jubilation has not appeared for many years.

This time, Han Mo led the troops out of the customs, used the hook and sickle to break the Wei army's iron horse horse, and annihilated the iron horse horse that everyone talked about in one fell swoop, such a deed is undoubtedly a rare miracle for most people.

Teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys, there is little talk about other contents of the war, but for Han Mo's deeds of breaking the iron horse, they are foaming at the mouth one by one.

Many people say it vividly, as if they were involved in that war.

And the speaker in the teahouse and wine shop was even more talkative, claiming that Han Mo crossed the . Sitting on a war horse, carrying a war knife, he personally led the Yan soldiers to rush and kill, and even came up with a clever plan to break the iron horse ride with a hook and sickle, and annihilated the iron horse horse without much effort, which is extremely exaggerated, although it praised the courage of the Yan army, but Han Mo has also been quickly deified.

Just like Xiao Huaiyu many years ago, he was born, and now there is another young general in Yan Kingdom.

And when a person tells this story that has been mythologized, he must add a paragraph in advance.

"Men are in the killing arena, as brave as a bear and a leopard and as a wolf. Men never show mercy to themselves, and they laugh at their opponents. Killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero.

Look at the world, where heroes don't kill"

ps: I want a pair of innocent and bright hesitant eyes staring at you....
