Chapter 112: Hidden Murder

"Ben Hou heard the report that Lord Xu had escorted my brother Sima Banru to Ben Hou's mansion, I don't know what Lord Xu means? This guy didn't leave the capital, how could he go to your house? Sima Yan changed the topic and asked Xu Zhidao.

Xu Zhi thought that his concubine's idea was excellent, so he told Sima Banru how he went to find him.

Sima Yan sat on the chair, listened quietly, and suddenly sneered, and said, "It seems that Lord Xu is not small in the court, otherwise why wouldn't this guy dare to go to other people to avoid trouble?" ”

This time, Xu Zhi was completely frightened.

"Hou Ye can't say that, Xia and Xia Guan just had some intersection with Yicheng Hou some time ago, and he may only go to Xia Guan out of the consideration of his friends."

Sima Yan had actually guessed the relationship between Sima Banru and Xu Zhi a long time ago, how could such a timid person dare to do something extraneous when he was about to become the king of Jin?

"Since Lord Xu claims to be a friend of my brother, why do you want to send him to the Benhou Mansion?"

Xu Zhi was a little dazed, thinking that it was a good thing to take the opportunity to curry favor with Sima Yan, but he didn't want to become ironclad evidence that he had a good relationship with Sima Banru.

"Forget it, Lord Xu is also thinking about Benhou." Seeing Xu Zhi's stammering appearance, Sima Yan smiled secretly in his heart, and waved his hand generously, "You go back and hand over this house to Ben Hou, and after the Marquis of Ming Japan has asked his father, he will deal with it." ”

"Subordinates, subordinates obey orders." Xu Zhi let out a sigh.

Sima Yan took a few turns around the room.

"Come on, bring Sima Banru here."

The servant who was guarding the door heard the order and immediately ran out.

Sima Banru's bun had been disrupted on the way to the escort, and he looked unkempt.

was arrested by Xu Zhi and sent to Sima Yan's mansion, which he didn't expect.

Fortunately, Xu Zhi was still afraid of his Sima family's face, and did not tie him up.

Sima Yan made a look of surprise and hurried to meet him.

"Who is so bold as to treat my brother like this?" As he spoke, he glared fiercely at the servant on the side.

The servant took a few steps back and did not answer.

Sima Yan made a look of great concern and helped Sima Banru send the head hanging on his face to his back.

"My brother was ordered to leave Beijing today by his father's king's order, how could he be sent here for no reason, and if my father knew about it, wouldn't he be to blame? You dog minion, why are you so useless? Sima Yan deliberately raised his voice and reprimanded the servant.

The servant naturally knew Sima Yan's intentions, but he didn't speak.

Sima Yan took Sima Banru's hand and sat down in the position he had just sat in.

"The foolish brother knows that the virtuous brother has been wronged, and he also blames his father for being ruthless, but the foolish brother has not yet succeeded to the title of King Jin, and he is really powerless. If the virtuous brother doesn't want to go out of Beijing, when the foolish brother is here, he will go to his father to intercede and ask him to take back his life, and you and my brother will need to join hands in the future and conspire for great things. ”

Sima Banru didn't say a word, and put on a look of letting himself go.

Sima Yan deliberately glanced outside the door.

"If the foolish brother is not mistaken, today is the date set by the father to leave Beijing, seeing that it will be late, if the brother still refuses to leave, I am afraid that the father will be angry, and the foolish brother is not easy to dissuade. In this way, brother just go first, and in the future, when my father's anger subsides a little, how about the foolish brother take you back? Sima Yan said in a consultative tone.

Sima Banru wiped his face and stood up to leave, but was stopped by Sima Yan.

"Brother Xian go slowly, wait for Brother Yu to prepare a vehicle for you, and bring some gold and silver, so that you can live happily outside."

Sima Banru didn't believe that Sima Yan would have such good intentions, but he had reached this point, what else was he afraid of, so he simply saw what tricks he was going to play.

Sima Yan really instructed the people outside to prepare the car, and asked someone to bring some gold and silver to Sima Banru.

"If the virtuous brother is in need in the future, you can ask someone to come to Beijing to find me, and the foolish brother will definitely help." Sima Yan did not forget to tell Sima Banru.

Sima Banru grabbed the gold and silver bag, didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Sima Yan kept sending him to the side of the carriage and watched him get into the carriage, then he made a reluctant appearance and waved at him.

As soon as the car carrying Sima Banru walked out of the mansion, Sima Yan called two personal guards and whispered a few words.

The two men nodded and quickly left.

Not long after, the two horses also went out of the palace gate and chased in the direction that Sima Banru had taken.

"Master Hou has a goal, where do you want the villain to send you?" The coachman turned around and asked Sima Ban Confucianism.

Sima Banru scratched his head vigorously, trying to think of his friends in other places. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, as if he remembered something.

The coachman didn't ask, and he really couldn't remember.

"Go to Xuzhou." Sima Banru said.

The coachman was taken aback, turned around and said, "Master Hou, Xuzhou is not less than a thousand miles away from here, and there are still children in the villain's house who need to be taken care of, how can this be done?" ”

Sima Banru snorted, suddenly snatched the whip from the coachman's hand, then raised his leg and kicked the coachman in the back.

The driver was defenseless, was kicked from the car to the ground, and rolled far away.

"You go back and reply to Sima Yan's house, and say that this marquis left by car alone, and when he returns in the future, he will definitely look good." As he spoke, he whipped his whip and drove away.

The driver got up from the ground and spat bloody at the back of the car.

When the car left Luoyang City less than twenty miles, it was already dark, and the pedestrians on the main road began to slowly decrease.

Sima Banru didn't want to rest so early.

He just remembered his friend in Xuzhou, the Che Lieutenant who worshiped Xuzhou Mu.

It is said that this Che Lieutenant is the descendant of the Che Cavalry General Che Xuan beside Emperor Taizu Cao Cao, and the family can be said to be loyal to the Cao clan.

In his early years, Sima Banru had been to Xuzhou and had been with this Che Lieutenant General for several days, and from his words and deeds, Sima Banru felt that this person was deeply dissatisfied with Sima's power leaning towards the government and the opposition, and regarding the descendants of the Cao family as puppets. Now, since he has been driven out of the capital by the Sima family, why not use his loyalty to the Cao family to deal with Sima Yan?

Sima Banru felt that his decision was the most correct.

The car was walking quickly along the dirt road.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from behind.

At first, Sima Banru didn't pay attention, and it wasn't until the two war horses had approached the cart that Sima Banru turned around, and in the dark, he vaguely saw the comer.

"Where is Yichenghou?" One of the guards shouted.

Sima Banru suddenly felt the danger.

"The villain was ordered to chase the Hou of Yicheng back to Beijing to discuss the matter, and the Hou Ye stopped quickly."

Sima Banru did not dare to speak, and whipped the horses like crazy.

The car sped wild on a bumpy dirt road.

The two guards stopped talking and hurried after them, one of whom had already drawn his steel knife from his side.

Seeing that the man was already approaching the car, Sima Banru whipped at the head and face of the war horse that the man was riding, and the horse was whipped into a sharp turn, almost throwing the guard on the horse down.

"Sima Yan, you despicable villain!" Sima Banru shouted and continued to whip the horses, and suddenly, the body shook, I don't know what it had rolled over, it was turned high, and then, with a plop, it rolled over on the side of the road.
