Chapter 467: Chen Rui's death
When Chen Rui learned that Tang Juntong was defeated, there was only one thought in his heart: "It's over, it's all over!"
It seems that his expectations for Tang Juntong are too high, and the army of hundreds of thousands has not blocked Xiao Xinrong, if Xiao Xinrong attacks the capital, the first person to die is probably himself.
Zhang, Qiao'er and the others waited anxiously in the courtyard, and when they saw Chen Rui coming back, they asked uneasily: "It is rumored outside that General Tang has lost the battle, and the soldiers of the second prince are about to enter the capital, right?"
Chen Rui felt a headache and said weakly: "Yes." β
When it was over, Zhang sat down on the ground: "Why is my life so bitter!"
"Master, what should we do?" Qiao'er asked in a panic and fear.
Chen Rui is extremely irritable, what's the use of his mother howling at this time!
"Pack up your salutes and get out of the city now!"
"Oh, yes, let's leave, even if the thieves enter the capital, they are not afraid!" Zhang and Qiao'er hurriedly entered the house to pack their luggage.
Zhang opened the secret compartment in the room, filled a box full of jewelry and silver that he had collected for a long time, and brought a lot of clothes.
"Let's flee, you bring so much silver, aren't you afraid of attracting wind?" Chen Rui was annoyed for a while, and asked the Zhang family to bring all the silver money, only some soft ones, and leave quickly.
Zhang knew that what Chen Rui said made sense, but it was more painful for her to let go of the money like this than to ask for her old life!
After a few struggles, he barely put away a small package, and looked at the silver money that he couldn't take away, and his heart was full of regret.
The group hurried to the city gate, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, Xiao Xinrong had already set up the soldiers outside the capital, and the military camp was only a hundred meters away from the city gate.
"So fast!" Chen Rui really felt the knife hanging over his head this time.
I couldn't get out and had to return home, and the Zhang family was lucky: "Son, you haven't done anything hurtful, and when the time comes, talk to the second prince well, maybe you will be reused." β
"Besides, we are still in-laws with Princess Alcohol, she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, can she still tolerate you?"
It can only be said that Zhang's thinking is too naΓ―ve, and Chen Rui has done many angry things in the court like a sharp blade in the hands of the emperor, which only Chen Rui understands in his heart.
I'm afraid that anyone in Xiahou Mansion wants their own lives when they see them now, after all, there are some things that can't be contained, as long as the people in Xiahou Mansion inquire carefully, they will know that the old lady's death has nothing to do with themselves.
I knew that today, why bother with that dead old woman, let her survive in the house, now everything is in vain, or think about how to take out all her beards and tails.
The Han family was really frightened when they heard that the second prince led people to surround the capital, and if they were attacked by the second prince, the glory and wealth of the mansion would be in vain.
The Han family has experienced from peak to downfall, and finally followed Chen Rui for a few more years, but these glories are reluctant to be lost.
Han Wu was entrusted by his parents to find out the news of Chen Rui's period of Ai Ai, and Chen Rui was irritable: "I know what to do?"
Han Wu was at a loss in his heart, even his eldest brother didn't know what to do, could it be that the whole house could only wait for death, this kind of taste of waiting for fish and meat to be slaughtered is really uncomfortable.
Soon came the news that the Tatars were calling for battle at the border pass, which gave Chen Rui a glimmer of hope, and he only hoped that the Tatar army would come more violently and kill Xiao Xinrong outside the city.
It's a pity that this wish was quickly shattered, Xiao Xinrong did not go to the border pass but raised an army to advance into the capital, and Chen Rui was stunned for a while.
The guards of the capital are like paper paste, they don't dare to do senseless resistance at all, Xiao Xinrong soon led the army into the capital to kill the palace, the general trend of Emperor Jingyuan chose to cut himself, the queen mother was sad and died in her palace, and the nobles who were high up chose to die tragically after the defeat.
Chen Rui didn't want to die, it was not easy to climb to this position, the glory and wealth have not been enjoyed enough, how can he be willing to die like this!
What he didn't know was that Zhang Yanchong had been secretly staring at him all the time, and the revenge of killing his father finally had a chance to revenge, how could Zhang Yanchong let him live in the world.
Chen Rui finally died, under Zhang Yanchong's knife.
When the city was broken, Chen Rui took advantage of the chaos in the city, and only took the Zhang family to quietly leave the capital.
Chen Rui was shocked when he saw Zhang Yanchong: "You...... What do you want to do?"
Zhang Yanchong shook the big knife with a hideous face: "What to do, Chen Rui, you have done all the evil and bad things, today is your death!"
"You...... You can't kill me!" Chen Rui was like ashes, trying to find a way to live.
"No, Chen Rui, if I kill you, I will do it for the heavens!
Chen Rui was Zhang Yanchong's opponent who kept drilling into the crowd, and the commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the guards, and someone came to support, and when he saw that the person on the horse was Zhang Yanchong, he shouted loudly: "Deputy Commander Zhang wants to help?"
Zhang Yanchong shook his head: "I have a grudge against Lord Chen for killing my father, and I ask you to testify that this person was killed by me, and when someone blames it in the future, don't implicate others." β
The person who came was another team of the forbidden army, and the forbidden army did not resist after Xiao Xinrong attacked the city, so Xiao Xinrong did not move these people.
Today's leader and Zhang Yanchong are old acquaintances, and instead of looking at Chen Rui, he helped Zhang Yanchong to ask, which suddenly made Chen Rui's heart cold and cold.
The common people don't know Chen Rui, but the person who is an official in the capital doesn't know Chen Rui, this person framed Zhongliang as a tiger, and heard that the old lady in Xiahou's mansion was his hand, but they were afraid of his official authority and didn't dare to say it.
Now the people in Xiahou Mansion support Prince Alcohol to return to the capital, the grievances between Chen Rui and Xiahou Mansion are well known, and it is a matter of time before Xiahou Mansion wins power Chen Rui dies, and now when someone comes forward to take the head of this dog thief, everyone chooses to turn a blind eye.
Seeing this pair of people coming and leaving, Zhang was shocked and angry and shouted at the top of his throat: "Murder, help!"
The screaming stopped abruptly when Chen Rui's head was cut off, Chen Rui's head fell to the ground, and his body took several steps forward before falling to the ground with a bang.
With the eyes of the head on the ground wide, with an expression of horror, reluctance, fear and disbelief, Zhang Yanchong leaned down from his horse, picked up Chen Rui's head on the ground, and walked away, leaving only the Zhang family who was crying bitterly and a group of onlookers.
Zhang Yanchong took Chen Rui's head to his father's grave, put Chen Rui's head upright, kowtowed a few times and said: "Today, the child finally stabbed the enemy, and his father can rest in peace." β
