Chapter 185: Suddenly Like a Night of Winter Solstice (4)

The Hu family is a prominent family in the capital, and the depth of the heritage is by no means trivial. Even though the Turks killed so many Dahua relatives and noble eunuchs under the nose of the Jin Lingfu, Emperor Yonghua still did not condemn Hu Xiu'an. The most important reason is that the Hu family is the first clan outside the Dahua Emperor, and Hu Xiu'an's father and the queen's brother - Hu Fengju, the prince of Liguo, has served in any product for nearly 30 years.

Although King Duan has always suspected that this matter is related to Hu Xiu'an, there is no evidence in his hand to support it, but he can't do anything about him. At this moment, seeing him sobbing on the ground, he really looked very sincere, and most of the doubts in his heart disappeared, thinking, "The Hu family should not help King Yun to harm King Zhen, they are all close relatives, and they have always supported Muyang to fight for the crown." Perhaps, it was King Yun who used some treacherous means to trick Mu Yang into going north, or maybe Mu Yang fell for the vicious scheme of Duanmu Lan, a dog thief?"

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the Hu family's suspicion didn't seem so great.

After leaving the palace, Hu Xiuan did not return to his Pyeongchang Earl's Palace, but asked the horseman to drive the sedan chair straight into the side gate of the Liguo Mansion.

Hu Fengju's old attendant Hu Yifu was guarding in the stable, and when he saw Hu Xiu'an's sedan chair coming in, he hurriedly put a small wooden stool on the right side of the sedan chair, and bowed and reported: "Second young master, the master and the eldest young master are waiting in the study!"

Hu Fengju has four sons, named Xiuping, Xiu'an, Xiukang, and Xiutai. Except for the eldest son Hu Xiuping who did not enter the government due to poor description, the other three sons were all officials in the court: the second son Hu Xiuan was the capital of the first product to execute the golden order, the third son Hu Xiukang was the secretary of Zhulan County of the second grade, and the fourth son Hu Xiutai was the right minister of the second rank.

When Hu Xiuping was still in infancy, he unfortunately fell into the fire, his left eye was burned blind, and his left face was also burned. The Hu family has a big business, and Hu Xiuping is the big housekeeper of this family, although he is not an official, he has millions of silver in his hand, and his three younger brothers have always respected him.

"Father, brother!" Hu Xiu'an closed the door and called to the two people sitting opposite each other in the study.

Hu Fengju pointed to the empty seat next to the tea case, and said softly: "Take a sip of tea first, and then tell me and Xiuping about the affairs in the palace." ”

"Yes, father!" Hu Xiuan sat down on the throne, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "King Duan really suspects that I sent a secret letter to King Zhen and called him back. Today in the study, as soon as I entered the door, he scolded me angrily, and I almost couldn't resist it!" he said, rubbing his hands against his knees, trying to wipe the sweat from his palms.

"Oh, you... But you haven't revealed any flaws?" Hu Fengju said eagerly. King Duan saw that doubts were a big deal, and if he not only couldn't resolve his doubts in front of him, but also showed his feet, then it would be a big deal.

Hu Xiu'an smiled and comforted: "Father, is the child so unbearable? It's not the first time I've encountered such a scene, so naturally something can't go wrong!" The two of them listened to the face and gradually softened.

"Since King Duan is suspicious, then we have to wipe our butts clean! The three people who delivered the letter can't stay!" Hu Xiuping said in a low voice. His face was hideous, his voice was hoarse, and he naturally had a murderous aura, which was both light and flat, but the content made people's scalps tingle.

Three lives. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was going to kill three people.

"That's right! I can't leave a handle, just find someone to kill them!" Hu Fengju shook his face and gritted his teeth.

Hu Fengju does not like to kill, on the contrary, he has always been a kind-eyed, kind-hearted, and respected old man. However, this matter is a matter of life and death for everyone in the Hu family, and he has to be a villain.

"Father, to ask them to die is not necessarily to kill them. Hu Xiuping raised his head and looked at Hu Fengju, and said in a deep voice, "Money can make ghosts grind, give them three families 10,000 taels of silver, buy them three lives, hehe... They are willing to make such a deal!"

10,000 taels, buy a life.

What can you do with ten thousand taels of silver?

The unified purchasing law promulgated by the Dahua Imperial Court clearly stipulates that one catty of polished rice is 18 wen, and one tael of silver can buy 134 catties of polished rice, which is two months' rations for a family of five! The market price of paddy fields on the outskirts of the capital is 221 mu, and 10,000 taels can be enough for them to buy 500 mu of land on the outskirts of the city and become a small landlord. That's a huge amount of wealth that many people can't accumulate for generations!

One life, 10,000 taels, is enough to ensure that three generations of children and grandchildren live a rich and prosperous life, and have no worries about food and clothing, but who wants to sell a man who has some responsibilities?

"That's good! Xiuping's method is good! Use more silver, let them die willingly! The Hu family can't owe them, and they have to let the family die with gratitude, and be grateful!" Hearing Hu Xiuping's words, Hu Fengju's face was overjoyed, and he praised with a smile.

He is a good man, how can he be evil?

He is a good man and does not want evil spirits to sleep at night.

can all his kindness, Hu Fengju is also very grateful to this amazing son.

... ...

"Shizi, Chen Zhengsi has just sent someone to spread the word, saying that he has reported our massacre in Beiye City. Diao Dong'er walked into the Chinese military tent and said Xia Chengcan with a bitter face.

Beiye City is a foreign port for economic and trade exchanges, the city gate is low, the garrison is few, and it is almost an undefended city. Before the opening of the port, the Turkic state had an agreement with Dahua, Shatuo, and Xian Ma, and once the Turkic country had a war with it, none of the countries could attack Beiye.

In Beiye City, in addition to the Turks, there are also merchants and traders from Shatuo, Xian Ma, and Dahua. Of the more than 200,000 people killed by Xia Chengcan, many were businessmen who came and went to Beiye City to do business.

"Huh~~~" Xia Chengcan exhaled heavily and said in a deep voice: "It's no wonder Chen Tianyou is in this matter." This is a big matter, how dare he be brutal? How can he hide it? Hmph, since I, Xia Chengcan, dare to do it, I am not afraid to do it, and this matter will naturally be borne by me alone! When I find the enemy and avenge the murder of my father, I will kill myself in Beiye City and apologize to the 200,000 dead souls!"

Slaughtering the city is not a siege, and Beiye City is not a place for garrisons, obviously, what Xia Chengcan does will be angry.

Do you regret it? Xia Chengcan asked himself.

It's definitely not true to say that you don't regret it. When the army left Beiye, Xia Chengcan looked back frequently, looking at this dead city that had been burned by him and his generals, and his heart was also heartbroken. "I have no intention of being evil, but I have become extremely evil! I have no intention of becoming a demon, but I have become a mad demon!"

However, remembering that his father was framed and killed by the Turks, he had to be ruthless. "This is war! Since you have killed my father and I am the son of man, how can you not avenge this revenge? If you go to hell, you will go to hell, and if you become evil for evil, you will become evil for evil! Blood revenge will not be avenged for people!"

... ...

Outside the palace of the capital, a horse stopped urgently.

"What are you?" said a group of guards, who stopped him, and the little leader shouted at the man on horse.

The man on horseback immediately jumped off the horse, took out the waist card from his arms, handed it to the leader of the guards, and said: "I am the centurion Wang Daren of the Jinzhou garrison barracks, and I am ordered by Lord Mei Siyuan and General Guo Zimu to send a funeral post, please let my brother go!"
