Chapter 335 'Hongmen Banquet' Part 2

As a politician, Han Yu has planned a lot of strategies in his life.
These strategies are complex, simple, clever, mediocre, successful, and failed.
But no matter what, even if the strategies he thinks of, even those that fail to achieve his expected results in the end, you cannot say how failed he was in the design, let alone his plans are stupid. It’s just that sometimes the plans cannot keep up with changes, and the development of events cannot be shaken by human plans.
However, today, Han Yu implemented a strategy that was later proven to be the most wrong, stupid, and regrettable strategy in his life - he tried to frame an illiterate person who steals state secrets.
Of course, he can't blame him for this matter.
Han Yu never thought that a young hero who was following a famous Jiangdong clan would be illiterate... or at least semi-illiterate.
So when the housekeeper took Brother Sun to Mingyutang, which had already been set up an ambush, Han Yu was still secretly happy: "I thought I would have to drink you a few more cups at the meal so that one of you would propose to go to the toilet. Unexpectedly, this boy named Sun was going to go as soon as he came, haha... This is really God helping me. Now, even if you can't just falsely accused of death, it's enough for His Majesty to take back your imperial gold medal, right?"
While thinking, Han Yu came to the banquet living room in the mansion with Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang.
Because they came a little anxiously, the kitchen was also in a hurry to deliver food. When they entered the house, the cold cuts on the table had not been arranged yet.
However, Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang obviously didn't care about this detail. They didn't say anything and just "invited" Han Yu to come and go to the seat.
"Mr. Han, please write it on... If you want to ask us about the death of the prince-consort, how can we start?" Huang Donglai sat down and took the initiative to raise this topic with a garlic-style question.
"Uh..." Han Yu thought for a while and responded, "Young Master Huang, I'm not hiding it. Han is also in a hurry to seek medical treatment." He paused for a moment and said again, "The death of Xuansheng is really bizarre, which makes Han have no clue. Han thought, maybe asking all the strange people in the world, can you gain some unexpected gains?"
"Hmph..." Huang Donglai immediately sneered in his heart, "This old fox... I'll pretend you're pretending too, right? Many people know about the fact that we were in the South City Military and Ma Si that night, but you deliberately didn't mention it. Is this trying to make us feel guilty and show our strength?"
"That's easy to say." After releasing his heart, Huang Donglai still remained silent on the surface and continued, "I heard that the prince consort died in the cesspool explosion?"
When he mentioned this, Linghu Xiang next to him became nervous because the content of Huang Donglai's words was a bit too specific, unlike something outsiders could know.
"Slow down..." Han Yu really seized the opportunity and started attacking, "How could Young Master Huang know Xuansheng's way of death?"
"Ha! This is all the streets and alleys in the capital. Doesn't Lord Han know?" But Huang Donglai not only answered fluently, but also asked back.
Actually, is this really spreading outside?
Not.
But there can be.
As long as Huang Donglai is willing, his lie will become a reality tomorrow, and the source of this rumor is difficult to trace.
If Han Yu insists that it was passed by me, you can come up with evidence. Why can you be sure that it was not passed by the people in the Bingma Si? If you continue to entangle this, it will involve Han Yu colluding with the people in the Bingma Si to collude with the people in the Bingma Si and banish the secret.
"Oh..." Han Yu quickly savored Huang Donglai's cleverness in his response. He also looked up to the other party in his heart and continued, "So that's it... Han went out for a few days and asked abruptly. What Huang Shaoxia heard was right, Xuansheng... It was indeed 'that' that death."
"Hey, isn't the cause of his death already very obvious?" Huang Donglai then said a word that Han Yu had never heard of before, "That must be an accident caused by the biogas explosion."
"Biogas explosion?" Han Yu repeated the four words, revealing a look of confusion.
"Don't you understand? I will demonstrate it to you and you will understand." Huang Donglai continued.
Linghu Xiang was stunned when he saw this, thinking to himself, Brother Huang, what are you doing? Are you carrying a bomb when you come to eat? You also want to lift the cesspool of the Young Master Mansion? Aren't you pleading guilty in disguise?
I have to say that his idea still overestimates the lower limit of double harmony.
The next second, Huang Donglai got up, lifted a lantern cover from the shelf next to him, and took a lit candle from it.
"Mr. Han, have you seen this candle?" Huang Donglai held it in his hand and looked at Han Yu and asked.
Han Yu didn't think much about it, just nodded.
At this time, he didn't know the seriousness of the matter.
"You can see." After getting the other party's answer, Huang Donglai suddenly bent down, moved the candle to the middle and lower part of his body, and put a rugby kick-off position, and made a huge fart at the candle with a "bang".
This fart that was strengthened by internal force did not have much impact, but was extremely high in concentration and spread very quickly, instantly causing the candle flame to bloom into a large ball of fireballs soaring into the sky.
The fireball flashed and disappeared in an instant. Only the aftertaste left in the room seemed to remind everyone that this scene was not an illusion.
After a breath, let alone Han Yu, the servants who served the dishes and wine, including Linghu Xiang... were all stunned on the spot, as if they were stunned.
"Do you understand? This is called a biogas explosion." Huang Donglai finished this, sat down again, and said to Han Yu who was already dumbfounded, "It must be that the cesspool of Bingmasi has not been dug for too long, and the biogas is too much. Then the prince consort squatted in the pit in the middle of the night and accidentally dropped the open flame in the lantern. This exploded. Isn't it very reasonable?"
When Huang Donglai fabricated these pseudo-science sentences, Lord Han, whose eyes were as bright as a copper bell, slowly recovered from the suffocating scene just now.
"Uh...ah..." Han Yu didn't know what to say. From a certain perspective, he was indeed convinced.
As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is true.
Some theories you explain are very accurate and detailed, and they may not understand them, but if you perform an interesting experiment, even if your theory is specious, it may be able to block people.
At this moment, Han Yu really felt that this so-called "biogas explosion" phenomenon might be the truth.
"It's reasonable, reasonable." So he could only answer this way.
At this moment, as the atmosphere and smell of this banquet hall gradually became anxious...
Han Xiaoqi, the butler of the Han Mansion, rushed in with panting and shouting: "No, master! Something big happened!"
When Han Yu heard the sound, he remembered that by the way, his "scheme" was still halfway through.
So he immediately frowned, turned his face, and rushed to the butler and said, "Bastard! What are you doing in front of the distinguished guest? Why are you panicing?"
"Ha...ha..." The housekeeper was also involved in the show. He had to pretend to be very anxious, gasp for a few times, and then talked intermittently, "Sun... Shaoxia Sun... he... walked with me not long, and suddenly ran away without permission and broke into the 'Mingyutang'!"
Originally, the butler's play was well designed, but because he didn't know what happened here before he came, he breathed unsuspectingly, although he insisted on saying the second half of the line, his face turned green.
"Ah? What!" Han Yu had already adapted to the smell anyway, and he was about to act. He slapped the table and had three tones as soon as he opened his mouth. He was afraid that Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang on the side would not hear the seriousness of the matter. "Are you serious about this?"
"It's true!" The housekeeper insisted, facing the master's words, "I saw him breaking in with my own eyes. The two servants guarding outside the door wanted to stop him, but he was knocked over to the ground! Now all the people in the mansion are going there, Master, please go and take a look!"
"Hiss--" Han Yu stood there and sucked his teeth, and looked like he was in a difficult position. After acting like this for a few seconds, he turned his head slightly and looked at Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang, "The two young men... This matter is extraordinary. I'm afraid there will be any misunderstandings in this. According to Han, you should also testify."
Huang Donglai looked at it and it seems that the Hongmen Banquet has saved even the step of eating. Before we even moved our chopsticks, we have already moved to the "Xiangzhuang Sword Dance".
Then go there, everyone has "arranged" it, so at least you can see where the old fox sings it.
In this way, he and Linghu Xiang exchanged glances for a moment, and agreed to Han Yu's request to go with him.
The three of them didn't say anything anymore and walked quickly. After a minute or two, they were led by the housekeeper to the door of a study. There was a plaque hanging on the main entrance of the small building, with the three words "Mingyutang".
"Sir Han, this place is..." Huang Donglai was also very cooperative and handed over to Han Yu when he arrived at the door.
"Oh, this 'Mingyutang'... is a forbidden area on my Young Master's Mansion. It contains many confidential documents and files I have ever used. These documents involve all aspects of my great government affairs." Han Yu paused at this point and added, "On weekdays, no one except me is allowed to enter without authorization. Even when the servants go in to clean, I have to supervise it myself."
Hearing this, Linghu Xiang's cold sweat came down because he had already heard that the Han surname was trying to frame Brother Sun to steal state secrets. Even if Linghu Xiang didn't understand the big law very much, he knew that this crime started with the murder.
Therefore, the next second, Linghu Xiang looked at Huang Donglai nervously, wanting to see if Brother Huang had any countermeasures in the face of this frame-up.
Unexpectedly, when he looked over, he saw that Huang Donglai was not only relaxed, but even seemed to be laughing.
"What's the situation?" Linghu Xiang was shocked, "Why did Brother Huang be so calm? Is it really true that he always told Brother Sun that he wanted to kill the other party?"
But he thought again that this should not be the case. Huang Donglai's calmness must have other reasons.
Then Linghu Xiang thought about it and then remembered...
"Yes!" At this moment, Linghu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and his face almost stopped, "Brother Sun seems to be illiterate!"
"Two, please follow me." On the other hand, Han Yu explained Ming Yutang's setting and continued to look serious and nervous with a stern face, wanting to lead the two into the house.
"Okay, okay, Lord Han, please." Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang were already fearless and followed.
That's it, it's amazing...
The party who plots about others and the party who is being plotted about are laughing together and walking side by side.
The three of them stepped into Mingyutang, and just bypassed a screen, they saw Sun Yixie standing in the middle of the lobby and surrounded by a group of "guardians" holding swords, guns and sticks.
What is the situation on Brother Sun? In fact, you can understand it by explaining it to a few words...
After Sun Yixie said he wanted to go to the toilet, the butler took Brother Sun around the road, passed through the garden in the mansion, and entered the back door of Mingyutang.
Then the butler lied to Brother Sun and said, "Continue walking in and you'll be in the toilet." After that, the butler retreated and locked the back door from outside.
Sun Yixie is not stupid either. Can he not tell that the other party is lying? Where did the toilet built inside such a small building back then? If so, then he would feel stinking as soon as he entered the door.
However, Brother Sun did not point it out because he knew very well that Han Yu would not be able to do something like "setting a trap and killing people directly". Lord Han would at most be a conspiracy... What if the other party wanted to use the beauty trick? So Brother Sun decided to use the trick and wait and see.
Unfortunately, he had just walked in and found that it was not a beauty trick, but the way to "Lin Chong offer his sword".
Those who followed Lord Han's orders and ambushed the "guardhouse" in the dark in advance saw Sun Yixie walking into the encirclement, immediately picked up the weapons that had been prepared and surrounded him.
Of course, they just surrounded and did not attack.
Because Han Yu had instructed that the target must be kept alive. If the other party dies... it means that the other party is killed by a group of people in his place without a third party's circumstance. This is a death without evidence, which is not good for him.
In his opinion, the best result of Han Yu's plan was: when Sun Yixi was wronged and besieged, he was anxious at the time, and then he started to take action first, killing and injuring a large number of guards in the Mingyu Hall... This is the most like "hitting state secrets and being arrested and exposed."
However, Sun Yixie was not fooled.
Although Brother Sun was a person who didn't like reading in the past, he had always seen film and television works related to "Water Margin", such as "Leopard head accidentally entered the White Tiger Hall", "Pan Jinlian got drunk and made a grape trellis", "Pan Jinlian was inviting to fight for lunch", "Pan Jinlian played the pipa at the snowy night"... He was all very ripe.
So, when Brother Sun glanced at him and found that there were bookshelfs everywhere, and the ambushers rushing out around him were only surrounded and not attacking, he quickly guessed Han Yu's intention, so can he still take action?
Not only did he not take action, he didn't even say a word, so as not to give him a handle.
It was not until Han Yu brought Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang in that the butler falsely accused him on the spot again. Two servants who were bruised and swollen at the door also came in to "testify" and accused him. Only after Sun Yixie smiled and said, "Hmph... Lord Han, what do you want now?"
Seeing his expression, Han Yu said to himself: "You kid is relying on the imperial gold medal, thinking that this matter cannot cure your crime, right? Haha... Then let's go and see."
Chapter completed!
