Chapter 447: Sihu
Those few people hurriedly nodded and agreed.
"We won't."
"Don't worry, my lord, we promise to be obedient."
Mo Linglan was relieved.
Sima Yu looked at the five big and three coarse, but in fact he was soft-hearted, seeing that several people were old and tossed, they were all pale and embarrassed, he beckoned to the side and called a few soldiers over.
"You guys take them over there to rest for a while, and then have some water for them."
After the soldiers nodded, they helped a few old people to the side, and Su Ruan also asked someone to bring He Fangniang's mother and son who had fainted before.
A few people waited in place for a while, and the Hanshan side came back quickly, but as Su Ruan expected, the dozen or so dead soldiers didn't ask anything.
There are a few hard-boned ones who refuse to speak, and those who open only know some fur.
Han Shan stood aside and said in a low voice: "Fourth Master, this group of people is indeed a dead soldier who has been raised, and they used to stay in a village called Fengzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing all the year round, until the group of people who sued the emperor in Beijing left the capital a year ago, and a total of more than fifty people followed them south to Jingnan. ”
"After they arrived in Jingnan, they have been secretly hibernating, and they have not given an order when they go to the peak, and it was not until around the Shangyuan Festival that they received an order to attack the group of people who sued the emperor."
Qi Wenfu said in a deep voice: "The few people who died unexpectedly before were all their hands? ”
Hanshan nodded: "Yes, and it's not just those people." ”
He stretched out his hand and handed Qi Wenfu a strip of light-colored cloth with some handwriting written in blood,
"They said that during this time, in addition to attacking those who sued the emperor, they also disposed of some other people, I asked them to write down all the names, all on it, fourth master, take a look."
"Chen Han? Lu Ruiyuan? Who are these people? ”
Qi Wenfu took the strip of cloth and glanced at it when he heard this, and he was very unfamiliar with the names on it.
He handed the strip of cloth to Su Ruan, who also frowned after looking at it, raised his head and shook his head towards Qi Wenfu, indicating that she had never heard of it either.
Sima Yu next to him listened to Qi Wenfu's words and suddenly said, "Chen Han? Why does this name sound so familiar? ”
Qi Wenfu looked up: "You know? ”
Sima Yu's brows furrowed, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere...... Where......" He stretched out his hand and scratched his head, he didn't think about it for a while, and after a long time, he clapped his hands in a flash of inspiration and said,
"By the way, wasn't the Sihu in the former Zhizhou Mansion called Chen Han?"
Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan both looked slightly stunned: "Sihu? ”
"That's right, it's the person who manages the households here in Jingnan."
Sima Yu suddenly said, "I'll just say why this name sounds so familiar." ”
"Lord Qi also knows that Lord Crepe and I are both officials transferred from other places, when Lord Crepe first came to take over the Zhizhou Mansion, the Sihu here is called Chen Han, I heard that he has been working in the Sihu for more than ten years, and he looks like a very honest person."
"But later, about half a year later, the household registration office he managed caught fire and made a big mistake, and almost affected the governor's government."
"Master Crepe remembered that he had been with Uncle Zhongyong and had risked his life to protect the people of Jingzhou City, so he didn't ask for the crime, but just went to his official position and sent him to the countryside as a wanderer."
Sima Yu remembered this quite clearly, because at that time, he and Xuan Longan arrived in Jingnan.
At that time, Jingnan was poor and white, and it was as dilapidated as something.
Crepe Longan took over the governor's capital, and he took over the garrison city defense.
It took half a year to straighten out the affairs of Jingnan, and at that moment, Chen Han drunkenly knocked over the candlestick and almost burned the Zhizhou Mansion.
At that time, he also took someone to the Zhizhou Mansion to extinguish the fire, and had a relationship with that Chen Han, but later Chen Han was sent to the township by Xuan Longan to be a wanderer, and it seemed that he had not seen him again after that.
When I walked on the water that day, there was a mess in the Zhizhou Mansion, and no one looked normal under the smoke and fire.
Sima Yu had only seen Chen Han once, but in fact, he couldn't quite remember his appearance, so he said: "That person is indeed called Chen Han, but I don't know if it's the same person as this one." ”
Mo Linglan and the others were also a little skeptical when they heard this, whether it would be just a coincidence.
Although You Yi is an official, he is actually the lowest person in the ranks, although he has an official name, he has no power or power, what are these dead soldiers doing to kill him?
After Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan listened to Sima Yu's words, they both changed color in unison.
They all know very well what Sihu is.
That is the person in charge of the household registration and taxation of a state, and the allocation of official warehouses.
If they hadn't guessed the truth of the natural disaster in Jingnan before, and hadn't noticed the hidden annihilation of the Heavenly Conscience behind the Zhangning Soldiers, they might not have felt that there was anything wrong, but they had already noticed it, and even began to investigate the fact that those people had taken advantage of the Jingnan Natural Disaster to garrison the troops before.
Now there is a Sihu who is in charge of Jingnan's household registration, and this person is still an old subordinate who used to follow Su Xuanmin.
How can this not make them care?
Qi Wenfu looked at Su Ruan: "Have you ever heard your father mention this person?" ”
Su Ruan shook his head, "When my father was still there, he rarely mentioned things in the palace to me, and even if he occasionally talked about it, it was only some old things that he used to do in the court, as well as some people in Beijing. ”
"On the contrary, it is the matter of Jingnan's side, and he almost never mentions it."
Su Xuanmin loved the Chen family very much and doted on Su Ruan, but he rarely let them go to his office, and rarely let people from the government come to the door to report official business, so Su Ruan rarely had contact with those people in the governor's mansion.
What Su Ruan knew, that is, a few guards who often followed Su Xuanmin, and several officials who were sent from the capital to Jingnan with Su Xuanmin, but almost all of those people died in that battle with Su Xuanmin.
Su Ruan searched for the events of the year in his memory, pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I remember that when the Southern Wei Dynasty attacked the city, almost all the people in the Zhizhou Mansion followed my father to defend the city, and the entire Zhizhou Mansion was empty, and almost all of them died afterwards. ”
"After Xie Yuan led his troops south to take over Jingzhou and repelled the Southern Wei Dynasty, my father was already said to be treason and rebellion, and my mother and I were hiding everywhere, and we didn't have the heart to care if there were still people living in the Zhizhou Mansion."
Mo Linglan listened to the conversation between Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan, and when he saw Qi Wenfu frowning tightly, he couldn't help but speak: "Zirong, what's wrong, what's wrong with this Chen Han?" ”
Big problem.
Qi Wenfu's heart sank slightly, and he had a faint bad premonition, but seeing that there were so many people guarding around, Sima Yu and those people who were stationed in the army were still there, he pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "It's nothing, I'll tell you when I go back." ”
