"I have been enemies with Shu Niu and the Dark Walkers all my life. The hatred of the Ji clan... Of course I also hope that I will have the opportunity to kill this thief in the future!"
Li Ran had many enemies in the past, some were plotted by Guan Congzhi, such as Feng Duan and Ji Sun Yiru, and some died of old age, such as Fan Yang. But those like Zhao Wu who died in his hands were still heads.
one time.
Revenge like this, even for Li Ran, can't help but make him feel a little happy.
Fan Li said:
"Haha, I only hope that Sir can get his revenge in the future. As long as Shu Niu is still alive, Sir, I won't worry about not being able to find him!"
Li Ran stopped talking, and the two of them returned to the mansion in a carriage.
Chu Dang was waiting at the outer door. When he saw the two of them coming back, he immediately went up to greet them.
Li Ran got off the carriage and said to Chu Dan:
"Jinyang is the territory of the Zhao family. It is relatively safe everywhere. Chu Dang does not need to be on guard all day long. But we can recharge our batteries first. In a few days, we may have to go back to Jiangcheng. When we arrive
At that time, it will be even more dangerous."
When Chu Dang heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head:
"Ah? Why do you want to go back to Jiangcheng again?"
Li Ran smiled and went straight into the back room.
Chu Dang didn't understand, but Fan Li was very clear about what Li Ran was thinking.
Two more days passed, and as expected, Zhao Wu was finally secretly executed.
Moreover, according to the previous agreement with Li Ran, after Zhao Yang finished this matter, he immediately asked Dong Anyu and Yin Duo to stay in Jinyang, while he continued to take Li Ran with him and hurried to Jiangcheng.
.
Jinyang is Zhao Yang's last retreat, and it is also the foundation of his hegemony, so it cannot be underestimated.
And this Jinyang City was built by Dong Anyu. Yin Duo is also good at defending the city, so Zhao Yang can naturally feel relieved with the two of them guarding Jinyang.
On this day, Dong An came to the place where the guests involved were under house arrest.
At this time, the guests involved had also learned the news that Zhao Wu had been killed from the servants arranged by Dong Anyu.
And now he can neither escape nor contact the outside world, so he has always been in a state of anxiety.
When the guest saw Dong Anyu, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said in fear:
"You...are you trying to kill me?"
Dong Anyu sneered and said:
"If I want to kill you, why wait until today? Shebin, you are worrying too much!"
Although Shebin knew that this was indeed the case. However, these days, he was like fish on the chopping board, and the taste was really uncomfortable. Therefore, he couldn't help but said with a grimace:
"Then...then why do you confine me here?"
Dong Anyu took out Zhao Yang's document from his sleeve, which stated what Zhao Wu had done over the years.
Moreover, these actions are unpardonable crimes according to national laws and family regulations.
The guest felt frightened after just one glance.
"The Handan doctor has no regard for the laws of the country and does not respect the great sect. Now he has been dealt with by the sect master according to the law. Whether this matter is a big deal or a small matter, you can take this document and return to Handan. And according to your own rules, set up another Handan Heir!"
When the guests heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised and happy:
"Are you really willing to let me go back?"
Dong An curled his lips and said:
"Why are you left in Jinyang? Are we going to spend more on our food rations? In addition, the dozens of people who came with you will also be released when the time comes. He alone will bear the responsibility for the crime that Zhao Wu committed. However, others... will not be held accountable."
"As for Doctor Handan, the sect master has made it clear. But just follow your previous rules! So, you can go ahead!"
After hearing this, the guest stood up immediately:
"Thank you, Mr. Dong. Then... without further delay, I will rush back to Handan right now!"
Dong Anyu waved his hand and ordered his guests to be sent outside.
The dozens of people Zhao Wu and Shebin brought to Jinyang some time ago were already waiting outside.
The guests couldn't wait to climb onto the carriage and ordered the charioteer to fly away from Jinyang immediately.
Dong Anyu and Yin Duo also watched them leave the city gate. After the two looked at each other, they both couldn't help but smile.
Yin Duo said very relaxedly:
"Brother Dong, this time, we should continue to do our own thing?"
Dong Anyu nodded and said:
"Well, you and I just need to perform our duties and wait for the lord's triumphant return!"
…
Zhao Yang and Li Ran rushed all the way, and almost when they were letting She Bin leave Jinyang, they had returned to Jiangcheng.
Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe still didn't know that Zhao Wu had been killed, and they were a little confused about Zhao Yang's sudden return, and they didn't understand what happened during this period.
As soon as Zhao Yang entered Jiangcheng, he arranged for Yang Hu to take Li Ran back to Zhao Mansion to live there.
He immediately entered the Lingtai Palace and paid an audience to Jinhou Wu.
Since Jin Houwu had not seen Zhao Yang in the past few days, he missed him quite a bit.
After all, Zhao Yang had been trying every means to discuss state affairs with him before this, and he was the one who made the decision.
This kind of behavior really gave him a sense of accomplishment as a king.
After the ceremony between the monarch and his ministers, Zhao Yang took the lead and spoke:
"I report to your Majesty that the Handan Xiaozong, a branch of the Zhao family, has recklessly raised an army to invade Qi, causing the Qi army to plunder our Jin territory. Its sect leader Zhao Wu has committed a heinous crime and has now been punished by me in accordance with the law! Just because the incident happened suddenly , so I didn’t inform your Majesty in advance, please forgive me!”
When Jin Hou heard this, his eyes widened:
"Ah? Zhao Wu has been killed by you?"
Zhao Yang responded:
"Exactly, I gave him three feet of white silk, and now he has hanged himself in Jinyang City!"
Although Handan is a branch of the Zhao family, it is not the Qing clan of the current Liuqing team. However, Zhao Chuan and his son Zhao Zhan at that time also served as the so-called "new generals" in the Jin Dynasty.
Although this so-called "new military general" is not more noble than the real six ministers, he is still his "preparatory" minister. Logically speaking, he also has a pivotal position in the Jin Kingdom.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, after learning the news, Jin Houwu was a little unexpected.
"He... attacked Qi without permission and framed our Jin country for injustice, but... died like this. Isn't it a bit too abrupt?... Why not bring him to Jiangcheng for trial before making a decision? What's more...
… Handan is a key location and a battleground for military strategists…”
Zhao Yang immediately clasped his fists and bowed in reply:
"I would like your Majesty to take a closer look! I have interrogated him before. This is Zhao Wu's confession. I would like your Majesty to review it. As for Handan, I also followed the rules and asked them to make their son the doctor of Handan."
Jin Houwu glanced at Zhao Wu's so-called confession, but was stunned for a while, and then said:
"Zhao Qing, since this is conclusive evidence, if this person is killed, he will be killed. But Handan is facing the Qi Division and the Handan doctor was killed. Will they...?"
Zhao Yang said:
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true! Therefore, I propose that if there is any abnormal movement in Handan, the Zhongxing clan can send troops directly from Luyi to quell the rebellion. Luyi is only three or four days' journey from Handan, so it is most suitable. And... I have already
As the leader of the Zhao family, you have to avoid suspicion!"
When Jin Hou heard this, he nodded slowly and said:
"What Zhao Qing said is true. If this is the case, then tomorrow morning we will discuss this matter with all the ministers at court!"
Zhao Yang sighed:
"Speaking of this matter, it is the fault of me, the Zhao family. If a branch makes a mistake, I, the head of the family, are also responsible! I am guilty!"
But when Zhao Yang said it, he was the chief inspector again.
When Jin Houwu saw this, he waved his hand again:
"Hey... I really can't blame Zhao Qing. This Zhao Wu did something so outrageous. How can Zhao Qing be said to be responsible if he is not partial to selfish interests and kills relatives for justice? This matter has nothing to do with Zhao Qing. As for what Handan will do
Whatever your reaction is, it has nothing to do with Zhao Qing! All the blame lies solely with Zhao Wu!"
In fact, what Zhao Yang wanted was exactly this sentence from the Marquis of Jin.
After receiving this "promise" from the Marquis of Jin, he was secretly happy, but on the surface he still looked guilty:
"Your Majesty is magnanimous and does not care about minor officials. I am grateful for Your great kindness!"
Afterwards, Zhao Yang left the main hall after saying goodbye to the Marquis of Jin. As soon as he came out of the palace gate, he couldn't wait to go to the Xun Mansion.
