Fan's Mansion had been raided by soldiers and no one was allowed in or out. The two large boxes of gold and silver jewelry plundered from Fan's Mansion were moved to the back office of the state government office.
Huo Wenshi sat at the stone table in the back office, watching several soldiers carrying two large boxes of gold and silver treasures, with a smile on his face.
He looked at Zhong Xing and Zhao Huaiyi and said: "I didn't expect that a traitor like Fan Chao could hide so much treasure! I have really underestimated him in these years, so it was confirmed that he was plotting treason and accepting bribes from King Ming.
Crime!"
Zhong Xing said: "But no matter how much treasure Fan Chao has hidden now, these can be regarded as bribes from King Ming. Handing these over to the court will definitely be a great achievement!"
Huo Wenshi shook his head and said: "No! The document clearly states that King Ming bribed Fan Chao with a box of treasures. Even if we hand it over again, it will not necessarily have a greater effect."
Zhao Huaiyi sat next to Huo Wenshi and asked: "What does the governor mean?"
Huo Wenshi said: "With these two boxes of treasures, we can hand one of them to the court as a proof of stolen money and attach this document to convict Fan Chao, while the other box of treasures can be used to clear the way."
Only in this way can the relationship between the DPRK and China be more stable. I have suffered losses in this regard in the past. Your Majesty may not necessarily believe what you say, but your Majesty will definitely believe what the close ministers in the DPRK say and give you the advice.
More than you think!"
When Zhao Huaiyi and Zhong Xing heard this, they immediately raised their hands and said: "Your Excellency is wise!"
Huo Wenshi laughed and said: "When we are transferred to the capital, we will get more than just this box of treasures! Our good days are yet to come!"
Zhong Xing and Zhao Huaiyi also laughed together.
Then Huo Wenshi asked: "General Zhao, Fan Chao has extraordinary martial arts skills. If you don't come in person, can you catch him with just your personal guards? If he runs away..."
Originally, Zhao Huaiyi should have gone to arrest Fan Chao, but he was worried that if Zhong Xing went to attack the general's mansion alone, the news might spread and the general would backlash, so he went there in person, but he went with Zhong Xing.
If you go to Fan Mansion, Fan Chao will be left behind.
Huo Wenshi was really worried.
Zhao Huaiyi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the governor. The manpower arranged is absolutely reliable. The governor just waits for Fan Chao, the traitor, to be escorted to the county government office."
Huo Wenshi nodded and said: "That's very good, I can rest assured! But I do have a suggestion."
Zhong Xing opened his mouth and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Huo Wenshi said: "The two of us used to be opposite, but now we can shake hands and make peace because of the imperial court and the country. I admire you very much. How about this. Today we have become an alliance through blood. The past grudges have been wiped out. From now on, we will advance together and retreat together."
We share blessings and share hardships, and in this way we can take care of each other in the court."
Zhong Xing and Zhao Huaiyi looked at each other, their eyes even revealed weirdness and amusement, but in the end they nodded and said: "Okay!"
The three of them just did what they said.
An alliance based on blood is not a sworn friendship. The three of them can be said to be allies rather than brothers with different surnames.
Huo Wenshi was very happy when he heard that the two agreed.
At the beginning, he suffered the disadvantage of having no allies in the court.
Now that Zhong Xing and Zhao Huaiyi are both younger than themselves, they will have greater opportunities in the future.
Become an ally with them, and they will still be able to help you if you can't do it in the future.
It’s not a bad job!
Thinking of this, Huo Wenshi admired his decision even more.
Go to the official road to Shifuli Temple.
Xiao Ye and others lurked in the dense forests on both sides of the official road.
At this moment, a man put his ear to the ground, listened, and then said: "Sir, we are almost here."
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Everyone, be prepared!"
Everyone took cover one after another and put on their masks.
Xiao Ye hid behind the woods with his hands stretched out.
Da da da--
As the chaotic sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, Xiao Ye finally saw the smoke and dust rising from the official road, and the figures of three people on horseback getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Xiao Ye, who was hiding in the bushes, waved his hand, and the people hiding on both sides of the official road pulled up the stumbling ropes at the same time.
Then I heard the screams of horses that were tripped before they could react in time.
Then three horses fell to the ground, and the people on two of them fell off the horses and fainted on the spot.
But Fan Chao relied on his superb martial arts to react. He turned over and landed smoothly on the ground: "Who dares to intercept this general?! Come out! Don't hide!"
As soon as Fan Chao finished speaking, a group of personal guards in black rushed out from both sides of the official road and surrounded Fan Chao.
Shen Zhong looked at Xiao Ye and said, "The general can't come now. Envoy, can you do it?"
Xiao Ye waved his hand and said: "Everyone, stay back! I will come alone."
As he spoke, Xiao Ye pulled off his mask and looked at Fan Chao: "If you have the ability to defeat me, I will ask them to let you go."
Shen Zhong had an indescribable expression at this time. Is this envoy reliable?
He was so bragging right from the start.
General Zhao, who has been practicing martial arts for many years, dare not say that he can definitely defeat Fan Chao. How dare he speak so wildly?
Fan Chao looked around at the crowd at this time, and laughed loudly in order to be brave: "Young man with a yellow mouth! I'm not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue! Do you know who this general is?!"
I don’t know where this young boy came from, but you really thought he was a passerby?
Xiao Ye said: "Aren't you General Fan Chaofan, one of the guards of Shuzhou?"
When Fan Chao heard that Xiao Ye could accurately report his name, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Since you know who I am, why don't you get out of my way! Don't you still want to rob the imperial official?"
Xiao Ye said: "Today we are robbing you!"
Fan Chao heard Xiao Ye's arrogant tone and thought that they had come prepared, so he said: "What a loud tone! You know who I am and you dare to speak like this, then come and let me see your
How are your martial arts skills?!"
Xiao Ye said: "If you want to see it, I will let you see it."
Fan Chao laughed and said: "So why not let me give you three moves?!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand, but he didn't strive for anything, but said: "You don't need three moves, just one move."
Fan Chao said contemptuously on the surface, but the world was looking around for weak points, and then looked at Xiao Ye seriously: "Okay! I will let you take a move!"
It can be said that Fan Chao's fear of death has its benefits, that is, he will go all out even if the threat is small.
Although Xiao Ye looked really young, he still did not take it lightly and showed his best to face the challenge.
He believes that the contempt he shows will definitely make the other party think that he is deliberately contemptuous of him and take him lightly. Once he attacks him, he can counterattack on the spot!
Fan Chaoyue felt more and more smart as he thought about it.
