Just when Huo Wenshi was looking at Fan Chao, Fan Chao, who was originally dazed, suddenly raised his head, which shocked Huo Wenshi.
Then Huo Wenshi calmed down, looked at Fan Chao and said, "Are you awake?"
Fan Chao's wound had been bandaged at this time, which was also arranged by Huo Wenshi.
Fan Chao cannot die. A living comrade is much more valuable than a dead one.
If he were alive, the court could force him to find out other things about Prince Ming, but if he died, this value would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
No information can be gleaned from the dead man's mouth.
Fan Chao looked at Huo Wenshi and immediately lay down on the edge of the iron railing that blocked him, shouting: "Master Governor! The general is unjust! You have to believe the general! The general is really unjust!"
Because Fan Chao was talented in martial arts and his martial arts skills were not low, Huo Wenshi specially ordered people to imprison Fan Chao in a cell with iron bars, and put five locks on the door of the cell. It can be said that Fan Chao's guarding was done to the extreme.
When Your Majesty came to Shuzhou for inspection a year ago, His Majesty's Imperial Army had never defended it so tightly.
Huo Wenshi looked at Fan Chao and said, "Unjustly accused? You mean that I, Bie Jia and General Zhao worked together to frame my colleagues in the imperial court?"
Fan Chao quickly shook his head and said: "No! That's not the case! The general meant that what happened today was just a misunderstanding! The general never wanted to betray the court and join King Ming! The general would not do such a stupid thing
It’s something!”
Huo Wenshi snorted coldly and said, "General Zhao has led people to search out the documents and treasures related to the affair with King Ming from your home, and you are indeed going to meet King Ming's envoy at the Shifuli Temple as agreed.
The evidence is conclusive! You still say you were wronged? I think you are not wronged at all! The court has used you so favorably, but you colluded with King Ming to plot rebellion! The nine tribes should be punished!"
Fan Chao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "The end is just to use a trick to capture King Ming's envoy so that he can present it to the court with the governor to ask for credit! He definitely didn't want to actually meet the envoy of King Ming.
You want to take credit! This is a perfect plan formulated by the general! Not only did you wrong the general, Governor! You also missed a great opportunity to catch the envoy of King Ming and ask him where King Ming is really hiding!"
At this moment, Zhong Xing had already walked in from outside the cell, stood in front of Huo Wenshi and said, "Master Huo is interrogating the traitor again."
Huo Wenshi nodded and said: "There must be no room for error for imperial prisoners and traitors of fornication! It's just..."
Zhong Xing asked; "Just what?"
Huo Wenshi opened his mouth and said, "He said that he was trying to use a trick to capture King Ming's envoy."
Fan Chao inside nodded quickly and said: "Yeah! That's it! That's it! It's true! The general is dedicated to serving the country and has absolutely no intention of rebelling against the imperial court!"
Zhong Xing said, "If this is the case, then he can tell the governor in advance. Can one person's arrangement be more seamless than two people's arrangement?"
When Huo Wenshi heard this, he looked at Fan Chao and said, "Yes, if you really want to arrest the envoy of King Ming, why don't you communicate with the government first and act without permission?"
Fan Chao immediately said: "General! This is to prevent the general from disturbing the enemy!"
Zhong Xing looked at the thoughtful Huo Wenshi and said, "Master Governor, you might as well think about how smart Fan Chao is?"
Huo Wenshi shook his head and said: "There were no useful strategies in the past, but they were self-defeating several times."
Zhong Xing nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Governor! How can Zhong Xing have any brains? How could he come up with such an excellent plan? This is obviously an excuse he made to escape because he was exposed. Lord Governor
Don’t be fooled!”
Huo Wenshi nodded and said, "What Mr. Zhong said makes sense!"
When Fan Chao heard this, his face was full of horror, he shook the fence and struggled loudly: "It's wrong! I'm wrong! You have to believe me, Lord Governor!"
Zhong Xing stretched out his hand and said, "Master Huo, let's go. There is no prisoner who comes to this place who doesn't say that he was wronged. These people have become accustomed to it for a long time."
Huo Wenshi nodded and said, "Let's go."
Zhong Xing nodded and said, "Please, Lord Governor."
With that said, the two of them ignored Fan Chao's shouts, and Zhong Xing also led the Shuzhou governor away.
As Zhong Xing walked away, he said: "With Fan Chao's command, he would never have thought of such an ingenious plan. To take a step back, even if Fan Chao is 90% motivated by the plan, there is not 10% he is interested in the treasure.
To King Ming? Besides, the court wants to deal with King Ming’s remnants, so they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
Huo Wenshi smiled and said, "Of course I understand what Mr. Zhong said. Now Fan Chao is an opportunity for us to be promoted. Even if he is not a rebel, he has to become a rebel. Otherwise, what can we do to return to the capital?"
Even if Fan Chao is really not the remnant of King Ming now, he still has to be allowed to be!
If he hadn't been, wouldn't Huo Wenshi have to guard Shuzhou for the rest of his life and die without being able to return to the capital?
Now that so much evidence has been produced, you say you are unjustly accused?
I don’t care if you are wronged or not!
Zhong Xing nodded and said, "What the Governor said is absolutely true. Now that the messenger has been sent out, I believe that in three days, Shuzhou City and the chief officials from the counties around Shuzhou City will rush to Shuzhou City. They are all Shuzhou City."
The chief officials of the major counties in the state must be able to host this celebration banquet with great success!"
Shuzhou is not small, and the roads to Shu are difficult to travel. It is impossible and unnecessary to bring the chief officials of all counties in Shuzhou to attend the celebration banquet in three days.
So it would be good to bring over the chief officials of the populous counties near Shuzhou City.
As for other small counties, they did not send anyone to notify them.
Huo Wenshi laughed and said, "Okay! After more than ten years of ups and downs in the officialdom, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is bright!"
three days later
It can be said that the state office is very lively.
Officials from various counties came to visit and dropped off gifts.
They all received invitations to attend the celebration banquet, and also learned that the governor, Biejia, and General Zhao had captured the remnants of King Ming, and were also the guards of Yizhou!
It can be said that if you catch the remnants of King Ming who are hiding in such a deep and powerful official position, you will definitely be promoted in the future!
These people are all officials from Shuzhou, which is located in a remote area. Their future can be said to be quite slim, and even those who want to curry favor with them in the capital will not be able to do so.
But things are different today, the person who can please you is right in front of you!
It’s a matter of future prospects. They have to crawl over even if their legs are lame!
