The southern district of Chenghua Mansion was originally one of the three largest business districts in Chenghua Mansion.

But today is different, the shops in the southern district have closed their doors one after another, and there is not a single idler to be seen.

The long street was densely packed with black-clothed men with steel knives straddling their waists, and on their shoulders were covered with two shoulders decorated with black bird feathers, and each of them exuded an aura of slaughter.

They are a new department of the Supervision Department in the past six months, the Raven Army. This special task force pulled up by Wen Jin only obeyed his orders, which shows how terrible the power Han played back to him.

After the lineup of the Crow Army, on the outskirts of the Southern District, three hundred Shenwu Guard infantry and one hundred cavalry were on standby, led by the two hussars of "Thousand Hands" Xiao Mad and "Divine Whip" Sun Wu.

Their target is a large mansion in the Southern District.

This is the mansion of the old lady Wang Fuchao.

Wang Fuchao, a veteran of the three dynasties, started in Zhang Xiangluo's dynasty, the Dayue Dynasty of that year, the prime minister was divided into two mansions, and Wang Fuchao's official residence was the right prime minister "White Vulture" Lu Hu jointly controlled the court.

Before Zhang Xiangluo died, he wanted to pass on the throne to the prince at that time, but the prince died inexplicably, and the throne went around and around and fell to Zhang Yue.

With Zhang Yue's accession to the throne, Lu Hu was executed in the name of rebellion, and the right prime minister Wang Fuchao was not implicated by the knife while maintaining neutrality, and he was crowned as a Taishi, and his status was respected, and even the tyrant Zhang Yue, who was known for his arrogance, also respected him.

What Zhang Yue didn't expect was that in the year when Zhang Yunlan raised troops against him, Wang Fuchao, who had basically retired from old age, actually climbed up and shouted and counted the top ten crimes of being a gentleman.

Before Wang Fuchao became the right prime minister, he served as the general director of the military department and a university scholar, and his protégés and former officials were all over the government and the opposition, and he had both civil and military skills. His behavior was undoubtedly the last straw that overwhelmed Zhang Yue's crumbling imperial power.

That night, the generals under Wang Fuchao's gate opened the city gate and welcomed Zhang Yunlan's army into the city. After three hours of bloody battles, Zhang Yunlan captured Zhang Yue in the imperial city and seized the throne.

Changing the dynasty, like heaven and earth upside down, rivers overturned, a group of people going down, a group of people coming up, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the truth is not obvious.

But Wang Fuchao, an important minister of the previous dynasty, not only did not fall in Zhang Yunlan, but instead ended up distinguishing between right and wrong, abolishing the tyrant, making meritorious contributions from the dragon, and retaining the position of the prince.

In addition to this lofty position, the intricate and broad connections under his command are the biggest capital for his standing.

At the beginning of Zhang Yunlan's ascension to the throne, he half-jokingly said it in a closed-door private meeting attended by only Han Hui and Yao Shubi.

"Mrs. Wang is really an old hero, I don't know if there are those people in this court who were promoted by him, I have to behave well in the future, otherwise he can bring down Zhang Yue's unfortunate people, and he can also abolish me. ”

Of course, Han Hui knew what he meant, as an emperor, no matter how big his mind and elegance were, how could he tolerate an old minister who was not very familiar with him, but had the strength to threaten the imperial power?

In less than a year, he solved this heart problem for Zhang Yunlan.

Through gradual encroachment, Wang Fuchao's previous powers were attributed to the prime minister's mansion, and on the other hand, he increased the monetary rewards for his family.

used false names and gold and silver to divide Wang Fuchao's forces, but in fact, Han Hui promoted some ministers and officers who were close to Wang Fuchao to the top and secretly surrendered, and all of them were scattered idle.

Wang Fuchao didn't say anything, he happily accepted the benefits of Han Hui, and lived in this house in the southern district for the elderly, and almost didn't go out.

Legend has it that one of his generals was once angry that he was cut by the Prime Minister's government, and privately found Wang Fuchao and scolded Han Hui for being a wolf.

Wang Fuchao just threw out a sentence lightly: "A generation of new people replace the old ones, and people are now sitting firmly in the court, and it is good to be able to give us such courtesy." ”

To this day, the name Wang Fuchao may still have a deep impression in the hearts of some veteran ministers, but his influence has been wiped out by time.

On the long street, the weather that was originally quite good suddenly began to fall fine raindrops, and in the array of the crow army, a sedan chair slowly fell at the door of Wang Fuchao's house.

Wen Jin was dressed in a black robe, wearing a snake crown symbolizing the head of the Supervision Department, holding an umbrella, and greeted Han Hui out of the sedan chair.

He opened his umbrella to protect his master from the rain, and said respectfully: "Master wants to take Wang Fuchao, and the order is to come, why do you need to come in person." ”

Han Hui raised his eyes to look at this exquisite mansion, patted Wen Jin's hand, and said: "You, you have to be more restrained in doing things, it's not the first time that the teacher has reminded you, Liu Bin's time, you did too much, some people in the court already know it, and I am fully responsible for this time." ”

His meaning is very clear, the next command cannot be handed over to Wen Jin.

Wen Jin opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he still said: "Obey the master's orders." ”

Han Hui smiled and said, "As a teacher, I understand your thoughts, but if you want to be at the peak of this Chenghua Mansion stage, you can't rely on power and force alone. ”

Seeing that Wen Jin stopped talking, Han Hui said again: "You may not understand now, but since the teacher handed over the Supervision Department to you, I believe that one day you can become the guarantee of Dayue's internal stability, but before that, you have to learn a lot." ”

Wen Jin lowered his head and bowed his body a little, like a child who had been taught by his parents.

"Master has been so kind to me that I remember all your teachings. ”

Han Hui finally showed a look of relief, and said softly: "I have no children and no daughters under my knees, I am watching the four of you brothers as sons, and I also want to let you grow up quickly, I may not be able to withstand a few big storms, it's time for you to stand on the front line." ”

"Master......"

Wen Jin was a little surprised, he knew very well that his master was a person whose foundation was harder than iron. It is inevitable to complain a few words, but this kind of retreat, this is the first time he has heard Han Hui say.

After all, now that the new emperor is still young, how could Han Hui let go at will?

"You are still in the prime of life, why are you so sad?"

Seeing that Han Hui was in a good mood, Wen Jin asked tentatively.

"I've had a hunch lately," Han replied, "There are some things I can't grasp if I want to." ”

Regarding Han Hui's brainless words, Wen Jin didn't know how to answer.

"Let's not talk about it, let's get down to business first. ”

Han Hui's eyes gradually sharpened, and he slowly stepped onto the steps of Wang Fuchao's mansion.

If you just want to take down the other party and ask for the guilt, it is very simple, but there are some things, you must ask Wang Fuchao to understand.

Wen Jin accompanied him into the courtyard, and it was indeed a scene of luxury, and a long corridor made of rare wood that was expensive enough for ordinary people to fight for all their lives came into view, with no less than forty rooms. Even in Chenghua Mansion, there will be no more than ten houses of this scale.

Ten crows followed, and they also walked in.

The master and apprentice continued to walk inside, and Han Hui was actually familiar with the way, all because in order to reflect the appeasement of Wang Fuchao, who was cut off power, he personally supervised the construction of this mansion when it was built.

Wang Fuchao's residence is at the end of this corridor.

In the huge mansion, the subordinates who were supposed to perform their duties had already been frightened by the situation outside, so they had to lean against the corner of the wall one by one, and let the sharp eyes of those crows sweep over them, and they could only curl up even more, so that their bodies would not tremble so much.

"Han Xiang is here, please come in. ”

An old voice came out, and Han Hui recognized this voice as Wang Fuchao.

"The old lady's kung fu is still so sharp when she listens to her footsteps and distinguishes people, the younger generation has been busy with the first imperial mourning for the past year, and she will visit in the future, please don't blame the old lady. ”

Han Hui replied easily, but he stretched out his hand to stop the ten crow soldiers from pulling out their steel swords.

He whispered to Wen Jin: "You accompany me in for a while, the old guy, and let them wait outside." ”

Wen Jin responded, and with a few gestures, the crow army was dispersed.

At the same time, Han Hui also came to the door and pushed it away.

Wang Fuchao sat inside. He was very old, so old that he needed to sit on the stove every day, and the loose skin on his face had blurred his original appearance.

Han Hui walked in lightly, and Wen Jin also followed lightly, counting his age, Wang Fuchao is more than a hundred years old, and people often have an inexplicable respect for elders of this age, perhaps because they don't want to disturb them and affect this miracle of life.

But it doesn't apply to old monsters like the Willow Cicada Sect, it's too terrifying.

"Han Xiang, sit down. ”

Although Wang Fuchao is about to die, his voice is loud and his words are clear, which really lives up to the name of eloquence of the year.

Han Hui moved a stool and sat respectfully opposite Wang Fuchao, while Wen Jin stood behind him.

"Old lady, today's junior took the liberty to visit, and there is something to prove. ”

Before Han Hui finished speaking, Wang Fuchao's old voice sounded again.

"You're here to ask for sin, aren't you?"

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but he continued: "You have found the right person, it is the old man's handiwork to help Zhang Tianxi evacuate." ”

Han Hui was silent for a while, the respect in his eyes no longer existed, replaced by a strong murderous intent, and he couldn't imagine that the other party would admit it like this.

In fact, according to his speculation, it is also eight or nine and ten.

"Old lady, is this going to explain?"

Wang Fuchao on the chair moved, as if this could prove that he was not far from death.

"It's only a matter of time before you can find out the old man's head, Liao Bailian and Tu Yaosong are both students brought up by me, and when they make trouble, you will naturally suspect the old man. ”

"As for the fact that Li Zhong is my adopted son, there are very few people who know about it, and you didn't find out back then, but the old man guessed it a long time ago, and with the means of this little friend behind you, it will be found sooner or later. ”

"Coupled with all the other clues found by his intelligence department, the old man is already a turtle in your urn. ”

Han Hui was also surprised by the other party's honesty, and then said, "Then why are you doing this?"

"That's a good question, I know you're going to ask. ”

"Anyway, the old man is a man who has only a few days left, so I might as well tell you a story. ”

The old man smacked his lips, just like some old man and old lady on the street telling the children in the neighborhood about their half-truths and half-truths, and began to talk about the past that would shock the entire Dayue Dynasty.
