Two hundred and seventeen chapters meet at the same time
Moreover, Han Du's longing for living in the inner city suddenly came true. Even if half of the backyard is so big as a workshop, the other half can accommodate the entire Han family.
From now on, there is no need to get up and set off in the middle of the night when going to the morning court in Handu. You can also enjoy the normal treatment of living in the inner city. Get up at Yinshi, comb your hair slowly and leisurely, and go to the palace to see you on time at Maoshi.
After taking Han Du around for a while, while Han Du was still thinking about his future life, the eunuch said goodbye.
"Master Han, now that the handover has been completed, I will return to the palace to resume my duties."
Han Du came back to his senses, quickly took the eunuch's hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." At the same time, a roll of treasure money in his hand was delivered to the eunuch's hand without leaving any trace.
The eunuch initially refused and tried hard to send Han Du back. However, Han Du used even greater strength to forcefully send him back.
The eunuch had no choice but to smile helplessly and said, "I'll take my leave then." After saying that, he turned around and left with the man.
Han Du waited until everyone left and looked at the empty shop, feeling very satisfied. From this moment on, these things all belonged to him.
Looking at the broad facade, Han Du rubbed his chin and thought. It would be a pity if such a good place could not be renovated and made tall and luxurious.
This is like a bath worker who sees a beautiful back. His first reaction is not how attractive this back is and how sinful it is. Rather, it is a pity that such a beautiful back is not used for bathing.
However, Han Du had no intention of thinking about how to decorate the shop now. Instead, he should go to the palace immediately to thank Lao Zhu for such a great benefit. He also brought two jars of distilled wine to Lao Zhu, which showed his sincerity.
Lao Zhu was in the study, listening to Mao Xiang's report.
Although Mao Xiang was clean and neatly dressed, he always exuded a strong smell of blood. If someone had never seen blood, standing in front of Mao Xiang, the smell would be enough to make him gag.
However, Lao Zhu has experienced many battles and has not only become accustomed to this smell, but also has a slight obsession with it.
Mao Xiang's face was ugly and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at the emperor.
Lao Zhu saw it, glanced at it, and asked casually: "Tell me, tell me the whole story in detail."
"Yes." Mao Xiang looked a little depressed and replied quickly after hearing Lao Zhu's order.
"In the afternoon of that day, Weichen sent capable men to lurk around Han Du's house. That night, Han Du cooperated and moved the sleeping room. Weichen's people did not notice the movement until late at night. It was a man and a woman who came to Han Du's door.
Get on your hands and feet."
I heard that it was really human hands and feet, not a poltergeist.
Lao Zhu's pupils shrank slightly and asked, "Is what Han Du guessed true? Did someone smear eel blood on his door?"
"Yes, Wei Chen found eel blood from the two of them." Mao Xiang replied truthfully.
Lao Zhu lowered his head and pondered, how did a scholar like Han Du know these tricky tricks? And he guessed it right away. But now is not the time to think about this, so he shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts for the time being.
Pointing his finger quietly, he said: "Continue, what happened next?"
"In order to prevent the two from taking people from the Han family as hostages, Wei Chen did not let anyone take action at the Han family. Instead, he waited until the two left the Han family before surrounding them on a street."
Having said this, Mao Xiang paused, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued: "These two people are extremely fierce. The ministers arranged for sword and shield men to come forward to surround them, and the archers and crossbowmen from a distance gathered to shoot, just like this.
At the cost of six people being injured, two people were captured alive."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu's eyes flashed.
Mao Xiang's arrangement was quite satisfactory, without any mistakes. Dozens of people surrounded the two people, and six people were injured under this arrangement. This only shows that these two people are too fierce. If they were replaced by ordinary people, they would be
A single shot from a crossbow could kill him, where would he be injured?
You must know that the men Mao Xiang sent out were all masters. Under the siege of the swordsmen and shieldmen and the crossbowmen shooting, six people were injured. Even if Mao Xiang was trying to catch someone alive, it was enough to show the strength of these two people.
fierce.
Fortunately, he was caught alive.
"Did anything come out of the interrogation?" Lao Zhu continued to ask.
Mao Xiang was shocked when he heard this, shook his head and replied: "They are all worthless things. These two people don't even know who gave them the order."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu asked doubtfully: "Since they don't even know who gave them the order, how did they know there was an order?"
Seeing that the emperor did not blame him, Mao Xiang felt relieved and nodded quickly and replied: "They did this. It was outside the south gate of the city. When someone gave them an order, they put a mark next to the gate. They saw
Just mark it to know that a new order is coming, and then dig out the real order at the place where you marked it."
Lao Zhu listened silently. Although he had known for a long time that those who secretly printed treasure banknotes must have secretive intentions, he did not expect that they would be so careful. Even the contact between each other would not be done face to face, but through this kind of
indirect way.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak for a long time, Mao Xiang had no choice but to lower his head and ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do with these two people?"
"Since it's of no use, then I'll chop them up alive and feed them to the dogs." Lao Zhu hated these people so much that he would not let them off easily.
"Yes." Mao Xiang replied.
After saying that, he quietly backed out while the emperor waved his hand.
Mao Xiang exited the door and let out a long sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, he passed the test so easily this time. When he was preparing to arrest people, Mao Xiang was still ambitious and wanted to atone for his crimes. Wait until one day
After some interrogation, he realized that he had only caught two minions. He thought that he would be punished by the emperor, but he did not expect that he would pass the test so easily.
Mao Xiang shook his head and couldn't understand what was going on. He didn't even know that it was because Han Du had vaccinated the emperor in advance. Lao Zhu was prepared in his heart, so naturally he didn't expect anything from the two people Mao Xiang caught.
high.
Therefore, Mao Xiang was able to pass the test easily.
Mao Xiang retreated, and then the old eunuch walked in from outside.
When Lao Zhu saw it, he raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Go back to your Majesty and ask for an audience with Duke Xin and Han Du."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"They came together?"
"No, Duke Xin came first, and Han Du came later." The old eunuch replied truthfully.
Lao Zhu pondered for a moment, frowned, and ordered: "Let them go to Fengtian Hall and wait." Before the old eunuch could turn around and go out, Lao Zhu looked up at the sky outside, and then ordered: "Forget it.
