Chapter 476: Yingchuan Xu Clan (5)
"Although what he asked me to do was very difficult, if it was known by others, it would be a disaster, but I still tried my best and used all my manpower and material resources to finally do it for him, however, he just nodded slightly, saying let me go home and wait for the news, and the result will be in these two days."
"I had happily decorated the courtyard for my brother, bought a lot of new clothes, and made a lot of new clothes for my brother and sister-in-law, and their two children......
Hagi Niang had already guessed the ending, but she didn't want to talk anymore to stimulate the city lord with a true temperament, so she just pursed her mouth tightly.
Huan Xuan said "I can help you rescue your brother", but he didn't say "your brother will still be alive when he gets out of prison", isn't it easy to get out of prison? One is that someone else lets you out, and the other is that you die inside, and others will naturally send your body out......
This Xu City Lord is really too honest, no wonder he was deceived by Huan Xuan and didn't know it.
Sure enough, the city lord of Xu almost burst into tears when he talked about the tragic incident back then, and his brother hanged himself in prison a few days later.
As the old saying goes: the body is skinned, and the parents are affected, so suicide is a great crime of unfilial piety.
When the Jin court ruled the world with filial piety, an official of the current dynasty actually made such a contrary to Changlun behavior, the then emperor Sima Yao was immediately furious when he heard this, so even his brother's family was not released because of this, his wife Pang and his young daughter were deprived of the status of nobles and punished as servants, and his brother's only son-in-law was also sent to the army to serve hard labor.
In the end, what the city lord of Xu ushered in was only the body of his brother wrapped in a lonely straw mat.
He didn't have time to ask the young man what was going on, so he hurried to the army, spent countless silver taels, and finally bought the upper and lower joints, making people falsely report the news that a Xu sister-in-law was dead, and returned to Jiankang with his brother's blood.
However, now Jiankang is not a happy residence, because of his brother's suicide, even the people who have contacts have cut off relations with them, and they are actually betrayed and separated, and they can't stay in Beijing at all.
As for his sister-in-law Pang Zi and the poor young girl, it was because after many months, he could no longer find the slightest clue, and he couldn't find these two people at all.
And the young man who promised him at the beginning, he also happened to find out that person was the current head of the Huan family, Nanjun Gong Huan Xuan.
The poor city lord of Xu, before his belongings were settled, he hurriedly moved to Ningzhou, and managed silently in this desolate and unrestrained city, which led to the current city.
After listening to his story, everyone was furious.
Liu Huaijing immediately took the case and said angrily: "It's really too deceitful!" ”
City Lord Xu wiped his tears, but slowly calmed down, such a description, he slowly remembered, at that time, what Huan Xuan said was actually very suspicious, but he himself, because he was anxious to rescue his eldest brother, he ignored all of them.
He glanced at Xu Mu deeply, but he blamed himself and was ashamed.
Maybe that Huan Xuan found out that the emperor might want to release his brother, so he deliberately set up a situation to make his brother commit suicide, and came to his own place to sell a good and bargain, he simply didn't miss anything, he was too calculating.
At that time, he was just a teenager who was not as weak as the crown, after many years, now he should be more cunning and cunning, he was too young and strong to compete with him, and now he is dying, can he really avenge his brother smoothly?
The slave was also indignant, ignoring Hagi Niang's obstruction, and hurriedly said: "City Lord Xu, you don't have to worry, now that we have roughly grasped the evidence of Huan Xuan's crime, as long as we add the most critical link, we can expose his crimes in front of His Majesty and make him ruined." ”
Xu Mu and City Lord Xu immediately asked, "What is the evidence of the crime?" ”
The slave slowly told the matter of the fake official silver they found in Huiji, and when he talked about Nankang County, he said with a very certain look: "That Bian Fanzhi is certainly the key person in it, and the valley on the outskirts of Nankang County should be the place where Huan Xuan hides the fake official silver, whether it is from the distance between the two sides, or the Nankang County seems to be a little too guarded, that place is very suspicious, although I didn't see the inside of the big house with my own eyes, but it should be right." ”
Hagi Niang added: "Yes, we suspect that the source of his silver was created from the silver mines around Kunchuan with the tacit approval of the Nanzhong clan, and if they can find their stronghold in Nanzhong, then the matter can be regarded as settled." ”
The city lord of Xu was very happy, and said to Xu Mu: "This is very good, Mu'er, you will take our personal soldiers and go with them to find the mine, there are only a few mines that want to come to this southern middle silver, and it is very easy to find." ”
Hagi Niang hurriedly persuaded: "City Lord Xu, this matter is not in a hurry, the Fu clan was already because of Hehuan...... Well, Huan Wen is good, so that he can gain a firm foothold in Nanzhong, creating the current situation that is almost independent of the Jin court, if you rashly destroy the alliance between him and the Huan clan, it will be okay for us, you will inevitably be jealous of him, and it will be very unfavorable to you. ”
She didn't actually say everything, she had already thought that if she went to find it with great fanfare, it might be fruitless if she didn't say it, and it would arouse the vigilance of others, but it would be half the effort, it would be better to visit secretly, and it was more likely to find out the truth.
If you really want to speak by force, no matter how much this Xu City Lord cultivates armor, it is absolutely impossible to confront the Fu clan head-on, so why bother to hit the stone with an egg?
Xu Mu was calmer, and at this time he also helped to persuade: "Uncle, although our generals are extremely brave, but after all, Ningzhou, the entire Nanzhong region, is the territory of the Fu clan, if you rashly tear your face with them, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”
City Lord Xu said angrily: "Then what should I do? Are you waiting for that Huan Xuan to die by himself? We can wait, what about your sister? Now she should be at the right age, if there are no elders to call the shots, should she marry those untouchables? ”
Xu Mu replied weakly: "My sister may not be in the hands of that Huan Xuan, if he wants to deal with our Xu family, he should take me as a hostage, and only take his mother and sister away, what's the use?" ”
City Lord Xu glared at him fiercely and said, "Do you think he doesn't want to kill you, do you remember when I was a child, I asked people to quietly bring you food?" If you had really eaten the food given to you by those people in the army, you would have died hundreds of times, and you would have lived until now! ”
"This matter is that Huan Xuan's calculation from beginning to end, so I can be sure that your mother, as well as your sister, who we can't find for a hundred years, must be in the hands of that Huan Xuan, only by defeating him and making him lose everything, can we get your sister back, your mother, Mu'er, don't you understand?"
