For many years, the area around the General's Mansion was the most lively place in Chang'an City, and now Zhang Anshi is still acting here, but the front and back houses are much quieter than before.

In the past, Huo Guang, a great general, grasped the military and government affairs, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of governing the world.

Sometimes the courtiers couldn't find Huo Guang in the Shangshu Bureau, so they had to rush to the General's Mansion to find someone.

Therefore, there are many more courtiers who go in and out of the general than in and out of other government offices.

Today, although Zhang Anshi is the great general of the Great Sima, with the expansion of the scale of the Shangshu Administration, many military affairs are directly handled by the Chinese and Korean officials led by the Son of Heaven, and the general's mansion is naturally deserted.

As long as there is no longer a tyrannical and lonely general Sima and consul general Shangshu like Huo Guang in the Han Empire, then the general's mansion will probably be like the prime minister's mansion, gradually deserted.

The desertion of the general's front office was caused by the expansion of the Shangshu Administration, and the desertion of the back house was naturally caused by the complete collapse of the Huo family.

In the past, countless officials and courtiers wanted to go through the back door of the general but couldn't, so they had to come to the back house to go through Huo Xian's back door.

Every day from morning to night, there are people with ghosts in their hearts to welcome and send them, and it is very lively.

Now, the courtiers who had come to give gifts in the past were either arrested one after another, or they were trembling in their own houses, waiting for them to be released.

The front door of the Huo Mansion naturally became a scene of doors.

When Huang Ba led people to the gate of Huo Mansion, he felt even more relieved to see that there was filth all over the ground that no one had cleaned in front of the door.

At this time, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid that before this snow completely stops, Huo Guang and Huo Dang should have a result.

Huang Ba patted the snow on his shoulder, walked to the door with his chest straight, and handed over the warrant of the Son of Heaven to the captain of the sword halberd guarding the door.

When the latter saw this, he immediately ordered the removal of the two men and horses guarding the gate.

Huang Ba turned around and shouted to the people who brought him in the snow.

"Zhang Yi, take thirty swordsmen to control the gatehouses and corridors."

"Zhao Bing, take thirty swordsmen and halberders to search for all kinds of slaves and maids."

"Liu Jia, take a sword and halberd to arrest people and commit Chun Yuyan."

"Sun Ding, take a sword halberd to block all the storehouses and bedrooms."

"Qian Wu, take twenty reckoning officials to check all the belongings."

"Zhou Ji, take ten scribes to search all the correspondence."

……

Tingwei Huang Ba's two thick lips kept opening and closing up and down, arranging what he had to do in an orderly manner.

All of a sudden, the voices of the crowd who promised to say yes were endless.

After arranging everyone's affairs, Huang Ba then said murderously: "Everyone, don't move your mind, let alone fish in troubled waters, if you are discovered by this official, you will be punished as collaborating with the enemy!" ”

Huang Ba turned around with his back hand, first looked at the increasingly gloomy overhead overhead, and then turned to look at the plaque above the gate with the words "Huo Zhai" written on it, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In the eyes of others, Huang Ba was just wronged by Huo Xian and went to live in the edict prison for a few days, and it didn't take long for him to be released, and there was no danger of his life, and he could lose a lot of fat by the way.

However, only Huang Ba himself knows the bitterness and danger involved.

If it weren't for the edict that ordered Chen Xiu to have a temper with him, if it wasn't for the Son of Heaven suddenly appearing in the edict, if it wasn't for the Son of Heaven who fished him out of the edict, if it wasn't for the Son of Heaven recruiting him as the head of the temple......

So today, Huang Ba Mo said that he came to this Huo Mansion to take revenge, I am afraid that he had already died in the edict prison inexplicably and turned into a piece of loess.

Moreover, when Huang Ba was released from prison, he learned that his old father drove to the west because of excessive fright.

Huang Ba used to be Tingweicheng, a capable official with a filial piety background, but he was still tossed by Huo Xian to the point of ruining his family, not to mention the many ordinary people with unknown origins?

I don't know how many people have been wrongfully killed.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, the Huo Party has a large number of people, and under the protection of Huo Guang, there are many people who act arbitrarily, and I don't know how many ordinary people and officials have suffered.

Once a party is formed, it is natural to engage in personal gain, and there will be grievances.

In addition to this, Huang Ba recently heard about something he didn't know before.

On that day, in order to rescue him Huang Ba from the edict, the Son of Heaven even personally deigned to come to the back house of the Great General's Mansion and bowed his head to Huo Xian to plead.

Deceive the upper and lower levels, cover the sky with one hand, have no respect for the elders, and be lawless......

Together, these words are not enough to describe the sins of Huo Xian and Huo Guang.

Huo Guang certainly has merit to the Han Dynasty, but the merits and demerits cannot be offset and must be punished.

Today, he Huang Ba will replace the Son of Heaven, the officials and people of the world, and Emperor Xiaozhao...... Let's ask Huo Xian and Huo Guang for an explanation first.

"This official will go in first, and the two sword halberders will smash the door with me first, and the rest of the people will act in turn according to the instructions just now, and set off!"

"Yui!"

Huang Ba took the lead, and the two teams of swordsmen followed closely behind, walking briskly towards the gate of the Huo Mansion.

The two tall halberders took the lead, rushed to the heavy door, grabbed the huge knocker and slapped it against the black door.

A moment later, the door creaked, and a crack opened from the inside.

Before the big slave who opened the door could see what was happening outside, the two halberd warriors immediately pushed the door open, causing several big slaves behind the door to retreat one after another.

The big slave headed by me is probably used to doing evil on weekdays, and the great slave of the Huo Mansion actually came up to block Huang Ba's way, and shouted without knowing whether he was alive or dead: "Dare to ask the prince of the mansion what ......"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Ba slapped the edict of the Son of Heaven on the other party's face with one hand, and roared loudly into the courtyard.

"The Son of Heaven has an order, Tingwei will handle the case, and raid the mansion of General Sima, Lingshang Shushi, and Bolu Hou Huoguanghou, and those who block it will be killed!"

Huang Ba shouted at this sentence, pulled the big slave who opened the door again, and asked indifferently: "Where is Huo Xian, quickly recruit from the truth?" ”

"Great, general's wife, at this moment, I am resting with the general, in the middle mansion!" The evil slave said with his teeth chattering.

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring to lie, go, go to the middle mansion!" After Huang Ba finished speaking, he led people to continue to rush to the front yard.

Behind him, the two halberders followed, and even more dense footsteps sounded outside the door.

The Huo family, in this snowy day, was completely broken.

……

Although most of Huo Guang's private soldiers have been dispersed or imprisoned, there are a large number of slaves and maids in the entire back house, adding up to at least more than 200 people.

Among these 200 people, there are naturally many evil slaves who are usually indulged in arrogance.

These evil slaves are short-sighted and vicious, and they only feel that they have nowhere to vent their anger.

In their narrow vision, Huo Guang can still make a comeback, and Huo Xian can still show off his might.

Since this is the case, it is natural to show one's loyalty and contribute to one's own head of the family.

I didn't have a chance before, but now I have an opportunity right in front of me.

When Huang Ba rushed into the front yard from under the door with a sword and halberd, there were twenty or thirty evil slaves standing in front of the courtyard, with all kinds of "weapons" in their hands.

They squeaked and cursed foul language, and then rushed over, with the posture of slashing Huang Ba in the courtyard.

Huang Ba smiled contemptuously, just waved his hand lightly, and the two swordsmen behind him drew their swords and greeted them.

The sword and halberd warrior usually has two weapons, one long and one short, the elder one is used on horses and the short one is used in foot combat.

There is no need to ride a horse today, so the halberdier only carries an eight-sided sword.

The eight-sided sword is a thicker and sharper sword than the four-sided sword, and the steel mouth is also better.

In front of the eight-sided sword of the sword halberd warrior, the weapons that were temporarily found in the hands of the evil slaves of the Huo family were not much different from the burning sticks.

In addition, the version of the responsibility of the sword halberd is to picket and arrest unjudicial officials, and they are not as good as Yu Lin Lang in head-on combat, but I don't know how many times they have participated in raiding the house, and they are very handy at dealing with these violent evil slaves.

Before Huang Ba entered the door, he already had the order of "no forgiveness", so they would not show mercy to their subordinates, and they were all killed in the process of fighting.

The two sides had only been fighting for a few moments, and the dozens of evil slaves were already lying in pools of blood—none of them could still move.

On the other hand, those sword halberd warriors all looked indifferent, and they didn't breathe.

"Whoever dares to resist again, this is the end!"

Huang Ba threw down this sentence viciously, and continued to lead people to the middle courtyard.

At this moment, more swordsmen and officials of Tingwei Temple poured in outside the gate, rushing towards all corners of the Huo Mansion in a fierce and orderly manner.

Huang Ba didn't need to be distracted anymore, he walked along the corridor in the mansion for half an hour, and finally came to the outside of the middle mansion located in the core of the middle courtyard.

Just as Huang Ba was about to break in directly, he forcibly stopped at the gate of the courtyard, because there was a person in the courtyard standing with his back to them

This person is none other than Huo Guang.

One of Huo Guang's backs stopped Huang Ba, and even stopped the swordsman behind him.

Huo Guang should have heard the movement in the front yard before he came to the courtyard to "wait for work", so the black coat on his body was still very clean, and only a few snowflakes fell.

He was already in good shape, and in the half a month that he was imprisoned, he never lacked food and clothing, and there were fewer opportunities to move around, so he was stronger than before.

At this moment, Huo Guang was standing in the courtyard, like a mountain.

Before Huang Ba was recruited by the Son of Heaven as the head of the Menxia Temple, he was only a court lieutenant with a thousand stones, although he was also considered a high position, he was insignificant in front of Huo Guang.

The gap between the two is probably wider than the entire Weiyang Palace, otherwise Huang Ba would not have been inexplicably removed from his post and imprisoned because of Huo Xian's few words.

So under the shadow of Huo Guang's mountain, Huang Ba, who was also pot-bellied, involuntarily bowed his head and bent over, losing several points in momentum.

Before Huang Ba entered the hospital, he calculated how to read the edict of the Son of Heaven in front of Huo Guang, let Huo Guangfa make way, and hand over the suspect Huo Xian.

But now that he suddenly saw Huo Guang's back, he suddenly had no idea where to start.

"Who's coming?" Unexpectedly, it was Huo Guang who spoke first.

"Xiaguan Huang Ba asked General An." Huang Ba saluted and said.

"Has the dog Huo Yu returned to Chang'an?" Huo Guang asked, still with his back to Huang Ba.

"General Yu has been escorted back to Chang'an yesterday." Huang Ba replied truthfully.

"Has Tingwei Temple already convicted him of treason?" Huo Guang asked with some displeasure.

"This ...... There is no conclusion yet, the county official has an edict, and the case of Fan Thief's rebellion is inquired by Bingji. ”

"It's not Zhang Anshi?"

"Zhang Gong wants to dispatch in the middle."

"Zhang Anshi, now he should be the general and the great Sima, the consul general, the old man really didn't see the wrong person." There was both mockery and appreciation in Huo Guang's words.

"Zhang Gong is now the Great General and the Great Sima, but the Consul General is not him, but Bingji......" Huang Ba said carefully, thinking about how to get to the point.

"Consul General Shangshu turned out to be Bingji?" Huo Guang asked suspiciously, but nodded to himself in an instant and said, "This arrangement is very good, so as not to harm Zhang Anshi." ”

Huang Ba didn't dare to answer, so he could only continue to wait, very anxious in his heart.

"Since Huo Yu has not been convicted, why did Huang Gong break into the old man's house so excitedly?" Huo Guang changed his words and suddenly asked.

"Xiaguan is not here today for the affairs of Zhonglang General." Huang Ba raised his eyes and stared at Huo Guang's back, and asked cautiously.

"What's that for?" Huo Guang asked even more unhappily.

"For the general's wife, Huo Xian!" Huang Ba's heart was relieved, and he finally got to the point.

Huo Guang's body was shocked, and he was finally touched, he slowly turned around and stared at Huang Ba with eagle-like sharp eyes.

"What crime has you committed?" Huo Guang asked sharply, as if he was going to devour Huang Ba alive.

"The lower officials came today to raid Huo's house on the order of the Son of Heaven, and the edict also asked the lower officials to arrest Huo Xian and put him in a violent prison, I hope the general will not stop him!"

Huo Guang took half a step forward and repeated the question in a colder tone: "What crime did you commit?" ”

"It's better not to ask, general......"

"Huang Gong doesn't give an explanation, he just wants to take the cheap one away so simply, is this possible?" The killing intent emanating from Huo Guang's eyebrows and eyes actually made Huang Ba have the idea of retreating.

Fortunately, when he came, the Son of Heaven arranged this matter.

"General, the county official has something to show the general, and after reading it, the general will naturally understand."

After Huang Ba finished speaking, he immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and respectfully handed them to Huo Guang's hands.

After Huo Guang took it, he read it.

These are three medical records, one is Zhang Anjun's, one is Cai Wenyan's, and one is Emperor Xiaozhao's.

The scolding, smashing, and crying outside poured into Huo Guang's ears closer and closer, but he didn't care at all.

Looking at these medical records, he couldn't help but think of Emperor Xiaozhao.

Emperor Xiaozhao was only a few months old, and the general's mansion was raided by the court lieutenant.

A few months ago, Huo Guang would never have imagined today's scene.

Although Huo Guang was still calm and calm on his face, he was actually full of grief and anger.

There was a mouthful of blood in my heart, and I wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit.

There's another chapter later today.
