Zhu Xiaoyan said very calmly, without a trace of fluctuation in his voice, as if he was killing a pig and not a person.

Han Mo stared at him, and suddenly laughed, this kind of laugh was very weird, like seeing a seventy or eighty-year-old man playing with mud, it felt very fresh, or there was a different kind of appreciation in the depths of his eyes, in his opinion, he could still maintain such a calm mood and a peaceful surface, Zhu Xiaoyan's ability and psychological ability were stronger than he imagined.

"Why didn't you run away?" Han Mo held his chin and asked, "You should leave if you killed someone." That way you can at least take control of your own life, and you will not risk losing your life, which is not very precious in your own eyes, because of my choice. ”

There was a strange fishy smell in the stable, that smell made Han Mo can't help but fan the tip of his nose lightly, he could even smell a bloody smell from Zhu Xiaoyan's body, this guy turned out to be an extremely aggressive cheetah.

Zhu Xiaoyan groaned, he raised his head, looked at the clear blue sky, and said slowly: "You can come forward to take me in yesterday, no matter what it is for, I owe you a favor." I killed someone, of course you can go...... But presumably, in that case, the charge of absconding after the murder will be confirmed. I don't care about the royal law formulated by your Yan people, but I think that if my crime is really confirmed, then your Han family will have some trouble, just like you said, it is something that many people know about you leading me back to the house, I left suddenly, and your Han family may have to bear the charge of instigating people to commit murder! He suddenly smiled faintly: "I think your Han family will have a way to get rid of this charge easily, just like if I stay, you also have the ability to clear my charge, right?" ”

Han Mo smiled: "It turns out that you are really a person who values love and righteousness. However, you seem to be too confident, Xiao Muzan is Xiao Taishi's person, if our Han family is related to this murder, Xiao Muzan will definitely set off a storm, and even let his master Xiao Taishi have the handle to deal with our Han family...... In fact, I think it is the best choice to hand you over to the government office, and you take the initiative to confess your guilt and clear up your relationship with my Han family. ”

Zhu Xiaoyan stood up and said lightly: "I'll go to the government with you." ”

"Don't worry." Han Mo waved his hand and said calmly, "Let's talk about it when I see my father." I think he'll be looking for us soon. Suddenly asked Zhu Xiaoyan: "Will you lie?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan's rocky face was expressionless, and he asked rhetorically, "You want me to lie?" ”

Han Mo also stood up, holding the yin and yang stick and said, "If you really want me to keep you, if you really want to owe me my life, you will have to tell a few lies this time." You look cold, and when you tell lies, few people will doubt you! He sighed: "I don't know if you lied to me." ”

"You taught me to lie." Zhu Xiaoyan said leisurely.

"Holy!" Han Mo glared at Zhu Xiaoyan and pouted, "Do you think Young Master Ben will lie?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan glanced at Han Mo, did not answer directly, and said lightly: "Good stick!" ”

……

……

The death of Huang Bantou quickly spread, and it is the most widely circulated version in people's mouths, which is very interesting. Everyone said that Widow Tian hooked up with three or four men at the same time, perhaps because of jealousy, Huang Bantou was killed by Widow Tian's other concubines.

This version is decent and the most widely circulated.

Those aunts and daughters-in-law also like this version the most, chewing their tongues in private, they like to talk about this kind of somewhat absurd private affairs, and more importantly, they hope to warn their men that if they hook up blindly, they may lose their lives.

In the eyes of the government, the folk gossip can only be used as a reference information, and Xiao Muzan doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe in Huang Bantou's obscenity in Donghai City, and someone really dares to do something to Huang Bantou for a widow.

Huang Bantou is Xiao Muzan's cronies brought from Yanjing when he took office as the county guard of the East China Sea, and it can be said that he is the most trusted and most important subordinate.

Huang Bantou's death was equivalent to breaking one of his arms, and he was not only angry, but also anxious, because in a few days, the spring tax silver would set off from the East China Sea and be transported to Yanjing to be handed over to the household department, and Huang Bantou was responsible for supervising the transportation before.

The transportation of tax and silver is the most important matter of the county government, not only send hundreds of escort teams, but most importantly, the head of the silver guard team must be his own cronies. When the tax silver arrives in Yanjing, it is impossible for all the silver to be handed over to the household department, just like the tax silver handed over by Xiao Muzan, a part of it will definitely be pulled out of it and secretly handed over to his master Xiao Taishi, and to do such a thing, it must be a black box operation, and the operator must not be an outsider.

But at this juncture, his most important Huang squad suddenly died, how could this not make Xiao Muzan angry, he immediately sent the third squad to track down the real culprit.

Although Huang Bantou's adultery with Widow Tian is a clue, although several other men who had an affair with Widow Tian were also sent to the prison to be tortured, the only object of suspicion in Xiao Muzan's heart was the Han family.

In his opinion, he had just had a dispute with the Han family, and everyone even tore their faces in face, so the Han family would definitely not give up, and secretly killing Huang Bantou might be a means for the Han family to retaliate, so from the beginning when he saw Han Xuanchang, Xiao Muzan's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with incomparable resentment.

"Lord Han, I just heard a piece of news." Xiao Muzan said with a dark face: "Your young master took in a horseman from Wei yesterday, do you know about this?" ”

Han Xuanchang still looked gentle and elegant, with a smile on his face, and said indifferently: "Lord County Shou should know that there are hundreds of people in my Qing Mansion, and there are not a hundred but eighty things every day, so the lower officials naturally can't know everything." What's more, a groom, even if he is from Wei, is a groom after all, and the lower officials have no time to ask about a groom. ”

Han Xuanchang is actually in a very good mood now, that Huang Bantou has always been a person that Han Xuanchang dislikes very much, all along, it is only because of the relationship between the Xiao and Han families that he did not make a move, this time Huang Bantou was suddenly killed, as far as Han Xuanchang is concerned, it is very comfortable, at least Xiao Muzan is missing a vicious dog who is a tiger.

If there is one less vicious dog in Donghai City, it will always be a little more peaceful.

"Lord Han probably doesn't know. Yesterday, the horseman was performing horsemanship on the street, and was seen by Huang Bantou, suspecting that he was a black flag spy of the Wei State, and wanted to take him back to the government for interrogation, but was taken back by your young master, and your young master insulted Huang Bantou in front of people. Xiao Muzan sneered: "Why is this so coincidental, this happened yesterday afternoon, and Huang Bantou was killed in the early hours of this morning, Lord Han, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"It's not surprising." Han Xuanchang said lightly: "Huang Bantou is conscientious on weekdays, and for the safety of my Donghai City, he has also mistaken many outsiders as spies. If that groom is really a spy of the Wei State, I don't think he will be stupid enough to swagger on the street and reveal his identity and whereabouts, right? What do you say? ”

Xiao Muzan said coldly: "Lord Han, the truth is the truth, the reality is the reality, there are many tricks of the Wei people. Since Lord Han thinks that the horseman is not a spy, it is better for the official to send someone to bring him over, interrogate him personally, and explain his innocence by himself. Huang Bantou is a person from the imperial court, and if this disaster suffers, the official must thoroughly investigate to the end, if this matter is not investigated, maybe the murderer will be killed on the head of the official next time. ”

A sharp cold light flashed in Han Xuanchang's eyes, staring at Xiao Muzan, and his voice was calm: "Lord County Shou, since the horseman was taken into the mansion by my family Mo'er, he is also a member of my Han Mansion, if the lord brings him to the mansion, it is okay to understand, if you don't understand, you really think that Huang Bantou's killing is related to my Han family." My Han family has a hundred years of reputation, and I ask myself that it is also quite prestigious in Donghai County, if I get involved in this matter, I am afraid that it will disgrace the ancestors, if the county guard wants to arrest people from my Han Mansion, I still ask the officials to find out the evidence first, as long as there is evidence, the lower officials will personally escort the horseman to the government to receive the crime. ”

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly extremely cold, Xiao Muzan almost had to bite his teeth to pieces, but Han Xuanchang looked calm, but he was so deeply cultivated.

"Lord Han, according to your meaning, your groom is protected by the Han family, so you can't find out?"

Han Xuanchang shook his head and said with a straight face: "Human life is at stake, and a big case like Donghai City naturally has to be thoroughly investigated." After a pause, he said lightly: "Lord County Guard, since you suspect that there is a problem with the Mafu in my house, the lower official will go back to the mansion to inquire personally, if there is really a problem, it will definitely be sent to the county guard's mansion, what do you think?" ”

"You will judge it yourself?"

"Could it be that Lord Commander thinks that the subordinate officials are incompetent?"

Xiao Muzan laughed angrily and said, "Okay, Lord Han, you can go back to the house and have a good trial, and the official is waiting for your good news." ”

Han Xuanchang got up and arched his hand, turned around and left, and when he walked out of the courtyard, Xiao Jing came out from the side, and said hatefully: "The Han family is really arrogant, Dad, let's write a letter to tell Grandpa and let him cure the arrogant Han family." ”

Xiao Muzan put his hands behind his back, looked at Han Xuanchang's distant back, and said coldly: "Sooner or later, the Han family will be erased from the family tree. ”

"Han family!" Xiao Jing gritted his teeth and looked fierce: "I must let them know how good I am." ”
