Outside the county government office, a man about 24 or 25 years old came back on horseback. Judging from his appearance, he looked somewhat similar to Zuo Gao.
His name is Zuo Ziang, Zoe's brother.
He seemed to be in a hurry, so he hurried into the court hall. Seeing that Zuo Gao was not there, he trotted back to the back hall.
"Father, father, tell me, is there any justice in this world?" Zuo Ziang shouted as he trotted along.
"Brother--" a clear voice shouted.
"Sister?" Zuo Ziang was overjoyed and ran up and grabbed Zoe's shoulders, "Let me have a look, okay, okay...how did you get back?"
Zoe said: "Brother, don't be impatient. This matter is a long story."
At this time, Zuo Gao's voice came from the door of the side room, "Zi'ang, when will you get rid of this stinking habit of whirring and snoring, what is unnatural and unreasonable, you are a public servant, be more steady!"
"My father didn't know something. Doctor Guanglu's family was killed by the king's decree." Zuo Ziang said anxiously, "He denounced the king in the court, killed the father and son of Zhenguo, and destroyed his own family. This led to the Qiang people seizing the throne.
At Fenglindu, he unjustly killed Duke Zhen and his family in the royal city without asking for any reason. As a result, the generals had no fighting spirit and everyone was in danger. Not only did Master Pang not persuade the king, but..."
"Which prince are you talking about?" With a sudden shout, a young warrior carrying a heavy iron gun walked out of the side room and walked in front of Zuo Ziang in a few steps.
Zuo Ziang felt suffocated, and at the same time smelled a strong smell of blood. He was horrified and a little dazed.
"Which Zhen Guogong are you talking about?" A beast-like roar came from Yan Yun's throat.
"Young Master..." Zoe had seen with her own eyes how Yan Yun killed the Qiang people, and she felt guilty when she saw him lose his composure.
"Which one else? Wuwei General Yan Changyan, Commander-in-Chief..." Zuo Ziang said rapidly.
"You just said... General Wuwei's Mansion... the whole family..." Yan Yunjun's face twisted, tears welling up in his angry eyes, and he asked word by word, "Been... beheaded by the whole family?"
"It was...more than two months ago..."
Before Zuo Ziang finished speaking, he felt his face suddenly become hot, but Yan Yun spat out a mouthful of hot blood, covered his chest and half-knelt on the ground.
Yan Yun originally thought that King Dayu would remember the Yan family's past achievements and spare the young and old in General Wuwei's mansion, and did not want to end up like this. It can be seen that the three fathers and sons of the Yan family all regarded King Dayu and Taishi Pang Yu
They thought too well, but also misjudged Di Gong's character. From the beginning, they had the intention of eradicating the roots. It is sad, deplorable and hateful!
Yan Yun vomited out a mouthful of blood, and felt relieved in his chest. He slowly stood up, and in great sadness, he looked up to the sky and laughed.
At first, the laughter sounded like he was feeling sad, but in the end, it sounded like a maniac, and his voice was hard to distinguish.
By this time, Zuo Gao and others, even if they were not sure about Yan Yun's identity, had already made a close guess.
"General, my condolences!" Zuo Ziang carefully tidied up his official uniform and bowed his head.
"Who are you?" After all, Zuo Gao is a county official, but he doesn't have a son like him. He needs solid evidence to prove Yan Yun's identity.
"Who?" Yan Yun sneered, took out something from his arms, threw it on the ground, turned around and walked into the room.
The object made a sound of gold and iron when it fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and did not stop until it hit the corner of the wall.
Zuo Gao took a closer look and saw that the object was square in shape, about three fingers wide and long, and golden, but it was a seal engraved with a tiger. He quickly took the seal in his hand and turned it over with anxiety. As expected, it was
The word "武伟" is engraved on it. So, based on the age of the person pretending to be "Yuan Tai", he should undoubtedly be Yan Yun, the third general of Longtou Pass.
Zuo Gao's hand holding the seal trembled. He took a few steps forward and seemed to remember something. He lowered his voice and sternly said to Zoe: "Tell your mother, just say there is urgent business, thank you behind closed doors, and don't see anyone."
After Zuo Gao finished speaking, he quickly pulled his son who was kneeling on the ground, and the father and son hurriedly walked towards the side room.
Zoe stood by the doorway, looking at the anxious and cautious backs of her father and brother. She didn't know whether it was surprise or nervousness. Her heart was racing, and she couldn't help but think, who did she bring back?
In the side room, Yan Yun used an iron spear as a staff and sat upright in a chair.
He originally thought that after returning to the royal city, the worst outcome would be for him to exist as a dead person, serve his mother, bring up his two nephews, teach them martial arts, and give the title of General Wuwei to his eldest nephew.
This life is considered complete.
But in the face of the cruel blow, all his hopes were cut off, and he was at a loss as to how to deal with himself.
He wanted to clear his mind, but his mind went blank.
"Your Majesty, Zuo Gao, pays homage to the General. I have no eyes for you, but the General has a lot of respect." After Zuo Gao knelt on the ground and paid his respects, he looked up and saw Yan Yun looking out the door with empty eyes. He knew that now was not the time to pay attention to etiquette, so he stood up again.
, holding the Wuwei seal, he placed it respectfully on the coffee table beside Yan Yun's elbow.
Yan Yun noticed Zuo Gao's behavior and sneered: "I lost this seal, why did you bring it back?"
"General, this is a first-grade seal, how...how can you throw it away casually?"
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"This... the lower official is a county magistrate. It is useless for the lower official to keep this seal..."
"You also know it's useless?"
This square seal was originally in the hands of Yan Chang. That night, Yan Chang gave it to his eldest son Yanlong. Yan Yun didn't even know when he got this square seal. It was still when Li Zhen was in Xiao Zhongnan.
I washed his clothes and found them in his pocket.
"General, please cheer up!" Zuo Gao said sadly.
After all, Na Zuo Zi'ang is a young man with an active mind and a fresh blood. This can be heard from his words when he first came in, where he felt sorry for Dr. Guanglu's family and criticized the imperial court for being stupid. He saw that his father was not talking about the main point.
, then stepped forward and admonished: "General, this seal is of great use!"
"Say it." Yan Yun glanced at him, showing his composure without being angry.
"If a subordinate's words offend someone, I ask the general not to blame him."
"No wonder!"
"This seal has supreme prestige in the army. This is one of the first. The whole Hexi was occupied by the Qiang people. Although the king moved to the palace of General Wuwei... and did... to do things that angered the heavens and people, but because of rumors, the commander and his son were all trapped in the dragon's head.
Pass, so the title of General Wuwei has not been revoked, this is the second one; if the general holds this seal and goes to the army..."
According to Zuo Ziang's advice, this was a step-by-step rhythm for Yanyun to take advantage of the situation to rebel. Zuo Gao was frightened by his son's words. This was a serious crime that would kill the nine tribes. He, a small county magistrate, could not afford this.
A catastrophic disaster.
"General, Quanzi is talking nonsense. General, please don't take it to heart!" Zuo Gao said anxiously, "General Wuwei is hereditary and loyal to the king. He has been loyal and good throughout the generations. During his lifetime, the general had brilliant military exploits and was unparalleled in the world. However, he endured great suffering and sacrificed his life to serve the country.
, what is the so-called? It is nothing more than that the body can die but the reputation cannot be ruined..."
"Father's words are wrong!" Zuo Zi'ang said emotionally, "At that time, the generals guarding the Tiger's Mouth and Huangshui Pass were all close followers of Grand Master Pang Yu. The commander-in-chief could not speak alone, and his reputation was not important. He died to serve the country.
The entire family of General Wuwei’s Mansion in Wangcheng is well-off, so this is a last resort..."
"You traitor! How can you trust the commander-in-chief with his dirty talk and ruin the honor of the commander-in-chief?" Zuo Gao stamped his feet and said angrily. Seeing that he could not stop his son's mouth, he slapped Zuo Zi'ang in desperation, and then bowed in front of Yan Yun seemingly in fear.
He said, "General, I'm not good at writing. I should not speculate on the commander-in-chief's intentions without permission. General Haihan!"
