"There are already rumors circulating that one of the captured assassins has already relented and confessed the person behind it."
In a tall mansion, an old man with a gray beard stood opposite a majestic middle-aged man.
"Can I know the specific situation in the prison?"
"Father, this matter has nothing to do with my family, why bother?"
The old man with a gray beard sighed and said: "Jianshou, does this matter have anything to do with the Huangfu family? It has nothing to do with you, but what if the assassin confessed to me?"
The middle-aged man was shocked and said: "No way?"
With so many people, why would the assassin say they were from the Huangfu family?
Huangfu Jianshou looked at the old man in front of him in shock, and said after a long time: "Father, this matter is not really related to the Huangfu family, right?"
Huangfu Song said: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with the Huangfu family."
The old man has no guilty conscience.
"This matter ends here, you don't want to inquire anymore."
"Father." Huangfu Jianshou called again.
Huangfu Song said: "You, please step aside first, I want to take a nap."
"Here."
Huangfu Jianshou stepped back with a worried look on his face.
Even though Huangfusong didn't admit it, if Huangfusong had really done it, why would he suddenly bring it up?
After combining Huangfu Song's performance in the past few days, Huangfu Jianshou felt that this matter was really closely related to his father.
Huangfu Song is very old. Although he was appointed as Situ before, he basically didn't care about things. He also didn't care at all about many things in Chang'an City.
However, in the past few days, Huangfu Jianshou was suddenly asked to inquire more about the situation outside, and showed a completely different attitude towards Wang Ding's assassination than before.
When Huangfu Jianshou left, Huangfu Song was the only one left in the room.
He was sitting on the soft couch, holding a copy of Spring and Autumn in his hand.
After a long time, he put down the spring and autumn in his hands, sighed, and said to himself: "I have lived a long life, and I have lived enough."
He was about to die at the hands of Dong Zhuo, but Huangfu Jianshou knelt in front of Dong Zhuo and begged for him, so that he could save his life.
Huangfusong had already ignored his own life.
He dared to confront Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and now he naturally dares to confront Wang Ding.
"The collapse of rituals and the destruction of music will bring many hardships to the emperor."
Huangfu Song was definitely a staunch royalist and a veteran of three dynasties.
He was loyal to the Han Dynasty and made countless military exploits in his life.
He was the first to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Then he put down the Liangzhou rebellion.
He served in the army all his life until Dong Zhuo was killed. Huangfu Song already had the intention of returning to seclusion, but not long after, he was appointed Situ again, which was regarded as succeeding Wang Yun.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Huangfu Song's mentality has changed a lot. He is already over sixty years old, which is considered an advanced age in this era.
Huangfu Song also just wanted to spend his old age in peace and not care about worldly affairs. Even if he was appointed as a Situ, Huangfu Song rarely moved around.
Huangfusong did not attend the banquet held by Wang Ding at his home.
Wang Ding was the first person to kill Dong Zhuo, and Huangfu Song also watched Wang Ding for a while.
He once felt that as long as Wang Ding was around, the Han Dynasty would have hope.
But this time, when Wang Ding returned from Hanzhong, everything was different.
Huangfu Song was worried that Wang Ding would become the next Dong Zhuo soon.
It is not the Dong Zhuo who brought cholera to the government and oppressed the people, but the Dong Zhuo who wanted to become emperor.
Especially during this period, Wang Ding presented many toys to Liu Xie, which made Huangfu Song even more vigilant. The feeling became deeper and deeper. He seemed to be able to see Liu Xie being kicked off the throne by Wang Ding, and then
Wang Ding sat on the dragon chair he built himself.
Huangfusong, who did not care about worldly affairs, felt that he still had to do something.
This time, Huangfu Song also made a lot of preparations to assassinate Wang Ding.
However, he still failed.
The eighteen dead men he had trained before were originally intended to be used against Dong Zhuo, but before he could find a chance to take action, Dong Zhuo had already died.
After all, Dong Zhuo was accompanied by Lu Bu when traveling, and there were five hundred soldiers at his side. He was definitely not able to deal with the dozen or so dead soldiers.
Huangfusong also considered that failure would affect the Huangfu family.
But before taking action, he thinks more about success, and even if he fails, he may not be exposed.
He believed that the eighteen dead soldiers, who were loyal to him, would never betray him.
But in the past few days, he has also heard about various tortures.
If there were really dead soldiers who were captured alive and could not bear the torture and told them, Huangfu Song would not find it strange and would not blame them.
Huangfusong felt his scalp numb just after hearing the various tortures that were reported. If it were him, he would never be able to bear it, but he just wants to die.
Putting down the spring and autumn in his hand, Huangfu Song took off his belt.
"Your Majesty, I have taken the first step."
The belt went around the beam, and Huangfu Song tied the two ends into a tight knot.
Even after reaching this moment, Huangfusong has never regretted it.
After he leaves, he may still bring trouble to the Huangfu family, or perhaps, seeing that he is dead, Wang Ding will bypass other members of the Huangfu family.
Therefore, he did not tell Huangfu Jianshou the truth in the end.
If he does it again, he will still send out assassins.
Bang!
The chair under his feet was kicked to the ground. Huangfu Song's neck was hung on his belt, but he did not struggle.
He is helpless.
He is old and can no longer help the emperor.
"Jianshou, I can't help you as a father."
There was no suicide note, just a cold corpse hanging from the beam.
The servants in the mansion discovered that Huangfu Song had committed suicide the next day, and were so frightened that they quickly called Huangfu Jianshou.
"Father. Father!"
Huangfusong shouted loudly, hugged Huangfusong's body, and lowered the body from the beam.
"Woooo..."
This forty-year-old middle-aged man held Huangfu Song's body and cried loudly.
He blamed himself very much. He shouldn't have left yesterday, he should have stayed.
Even if it's true, you don't have to die. The matter has not been resolved yet.
He should send someone to the Tianlao to investigate.
He should even go to Tianlao himself.
But he didn't because he was afraid.
Huangfu's house was hung with white cloth that day.
News of Huangfu Song's death also spread in Chang'an City.
Liu Xie in the palace also received the news.
Wang Ding arrived at the military camp early in the morning, but Sima Lang chased him to the military camp and informed Wang Ding that Huangfu Song had passed away.
Wang Ding respected Huangfu Song very much, otherwise when Wang Yun was ordered to be confined at home, Huangfu Song would not have succeeded Wang Yun as Situ.
He rode a bay-red horse to Huangfu's house.
"The cavalry general has arrived."
"Your Majesty, Huangfu Jianshou, pays homage to General Chariot and Cavalry." Huangfu Jianshou was at the door, already dressed in linen clothes and with a white scarf tied on his head.
"Where is the old general?" Wang Ding dismounted and asked.
Huangfu Jianshou said with a sad face: "General, please come with me."
In the room, Huangfu Song's body was placed neatly on the bed, covered with white cloth, and all the curtains in the room had been replaced with plain colors.
