Chapter 126: Blackmailing the Monthly Pass)
/s日pt>The anger in Tokai Neptune's heart was enough to burn the four living people into charcoal, if the four of them stood in front of them.
Zhang Yanghao, Yan Qilang and others actually ran away and took away more than a dozen guards hidden in the village. The King of Donghai was really isolated this time, and there were more than twenty guards around him, but they had been exposed and could not make a big deal. He had only one choice left and left Hebian Village immediately to avoid the worst result: becoming a hostage.
As soon as Han Ruzi came back, the village fell into chaos again. Many people wanted to come over and say a few words. Chao Hua was sad and angry when he heard that his father was killed. He was about to take people to take revenge, but he didn't know who to look for.
King Donghai took advantage of the chaos and walked quietly towards the gate, with the guards following closely behind.
It was these guards who had done something bad, but Donghai King really didn't dare to escape alone. With more than twenty people following him, he felt relieved at least.
There were too many news that Han Ruzi needed to accept, and his reaction was quite fast. He first stopped Chao Hua from rushing out of the Hebian Village, and then asked Jin Chunzhong to say first, believing that he knew the most.
Jin Chunzhong didn't know who the attacker was, how Chao Yongsi was killed, and why his father was robbed, but he guessed some reasons from his sister's actions, so he told Juanhou in a low voice.
Han Ruzi found that King Donghai was not by her side at this moment. She looked up and saw the guards of King Donghai. She reached out to ask Jin Chunzhong to pause and shouted: "King King Donghai!"
The King of Donghai actually had a chance to escape. A smarter guard led the only horse in the village. The Yi soldier who was guarding the gate recognized him as the younger brother of the "Emperor" and did not want to stop him. Even if someone chased him, the guards could resist for a while.
But when King Donghai found that the hidden power was gone, he became panicked and grabbed the Angle. However, he did not get on the horse, but turned around and asked the guards to get out of the way. He replied loudly: "I'm here!"
"It's a bit troublesome, come here to advise." Han Ruzi walked towards King Donghai and others. A large group of righteous soldiers followed.
The army was too scattered. Han Ruzi looked for a while and could only wink at Lin Kunshan.
Lin Kunshan hesitated for a moment and signaled to his people, asking them to encircle from both sides and block the gate of the Hebian Village.
King Donghai's hands were still on the saddle. He wanted to get on the horse several times, but rushed out desperately. Finally, he gave up. When Han Ruzi approached with many volunteer soldiers, he lost his last chance. He left the saddle with both hands, smiled on his face. When he found that it was not suitable, he immediately changed to seriousness.
"It's really not calm," said Tokai.
Han Ruzi grabbed Donghai King's arm and said, "Let's go and talk in the house."
King Donghai glanced at the guards beside him, then looked at hundreds of volunteer soldiers, as well as Lin Kunshan and other people in the martial arts world, especially the strange man named "Don't Live", knew that the time had come. So he said, "Okay."
Some houses in the village were burned down, and the meeting hall was still there, and the body of the chief clerk Chao Yongsi was lying there, with a door panel full of names under him.
Chao Hua, Jin Chunzhong, and Lin Kunshan, don’t order the four of them to follow in. The others were waiting outside. The crazy monk Guangding returned to Huailing to summon other heroes from the world.
In addition, Han Ruzi, King Donghai, there were six people in the hall. Standing in front of the body, Chao Hua's teeth clattered, and Han Ruzi said, "The chief clerk Chao died because of me. I will definitely avenge him."
"I am content with your Majesty's words." Chao Hua's voice trembled slightly.
Han Ruzi observed a moment of silence and said to Jin Chunzhong: "The one who attacked the village was from Chai Mansion?"
"It should be." Jin Chunzhong didn't actually talk about Chai Mansion, but his guess was the same as Han Ruzi. The people who could abduct Guiyi Hou were sent by Hengyang Hou.
Chai Yun's body must have been discovered. The Hengyang Hou naturally designated his enemy as the Marquis of Guiyi, rather than the sons and daughters of the Marquis of Guiyi.
Many things were entangled, one by one was more difficult to solve. Han Ruzi thought for a moment and said, "The only one who can save the life of Guiyi Hou, the only one who can save the life of Grand Tutor Cui."
"Ah?" Donghai Wang replied blankly, as if he didn't understand.
"Get paper and pen."
Chao Hua immediately brought a wooden table with pen and ink and a few wrinkled straw paper on it. Han Ruzi said to Donghai King: "I said, you write."
King Donghai squeezed out a smile, "You probably have too high my uncle's ability."
"We have to give it a try."
Donghai had no choice but to pick up the pen.
"Marquis Juen worships the Grand Tutor Cui of the Southern Army: Marquis Guiyi was captured by Marquis Hengyang, and I hope you can help. The chief clerk of our army was unfortunately in trouble, and the soldiers were heartbroken. He also hoped that you would capture the murderer and send him back to Hebianzhai."
King Donghai shook his head while writing, "The Grand Sima of the Southern Army doesn't care about these matters, you should find Jingzhao Yin or Fufeng County. That's all?"
Han Ruzi shook her head and continued: "There are three thousand rebels in Hebianzhai who want to go to the northern border to defend their country and fight with the Huns. They are short of food and equipment. If the Southern Army can fund the food and grass for a month and 3,000 sets of armored soldiers, the soldiers of the rebels are very grateful."
King Donghai's face turned slightly blue, "Are you treating my uncle as a food and grass officer? The Southern Army is also supported by the imperial court, so how can there be extra food and grass and military armor?" He said so, but he still wrote, "Are you okay?"
Han Ruzi still shook her head, "The northern enemy is glimpsed in the south, and the world is in chaos. Those who are knowledgeable are looking forward to it, only the Taifu. If the Taifu can raise the flag to attack the north, like Juehou, they will all lead the army to follow him and think it is a vanguard. The boy said irresponsible and bowed again."
The letter was not long. After the King of Tokai finished writing, his whole arm was trembling. He smiled and said with a forced smile because of anger and fear, "Are you kidding? My uncle wouldn't read this letter at all."
"We have to give it a try." Han Ruzi repeated, folding the letter with his own hands. There was no letter in the village, and he didn't plan to keep it confidential. He handed the letter to King Donghai, "Let your guards go and deliver the letter. You can take that horse away. I think you'll have enough to keep a guard."
The King of Donghai's face turned pale and was impulsive. He even wanted to tear the letter in his hand into pieces. However, the other four people understood Juehou's intention and were very supportive. Chao Hua and Jin Chunzhong held the hilt of the knife and put their hands behind him. Lin Kunshan had no weapons, but took two steps back to indicate that he was out of the matter.
King Donghai really became a hostage and was used to threaten Taifu Cui.
"You will regret it." This is the sentence that said the whole fight back from Tokai.
"As long as Taifu Cui doesn't do anything regrets, I don't think I will regret it either."
King Donghai was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, but he endured it again and again. He walked to the door and waved to a guard. "Leave one person, the others can leave. You can immediately hand it over to my uncle. You can only hand it over to him, do you understand?"
The guard nodded in confusion. He glanced at the people behind Donghai King, turned around and left with the letter.
"Are you satisfied?" Donghai asked stiffly, regretting it. He should have jumped on his horse and ran away just now. In any case, there is still a glimmer of hope, but now he has completely become a hostage.
Han Ruzi had many things to deal with. He ignored the King of Donghai and said to Chao Hua: "Please ask General Chao to rectify the entire army. Scouts from afar and send scouts to find out any news and tell me at any time."
Chao Hua wanted to avenge his father, but he could not find his enemy at all. He nodded and "Abide by the order."
"Jin Chunzhong, go and help me, come back to find me later." Han Ruzi had some things to ask Jin Chunzhong.
Jin Chunzhong responded and left with Chao Hua.
Han Ruzi said to Lin Kunshan again: "Did Mr. Lin believe it this time?"
Lin Kunshan sighed lightly, "Everyone in Chai Mansion can find Hebianzhai. The court has no reason to know nothing. It seems that the news that Juehou got is correct, and the court is indeed prepared. The uprising in southern Beijing and northern Beijing will not succeed."
King Donghai gritted his teeth and said, "Do you rather believe in the Queen Mother than my uncle? Are the 100,000 Nanjun vegetarians vegetarians?"
Lin Kunshan smiled, "Do you think we betrayed Taifu Cui?"
“Isn’t it?”
"Haha, if there is a source of information, Grand Tutor Cui will probably give up this plan. Juanhou's suggestion is actually good. Grand Tutor Cui should write a letter to ask for battle, at least he can save the Southern Army, or even go further, and control all the Chu army in the northern border."
King Donghai really wanted to rush up and slap Lin Kunshan hard. The promised response from the north and south was gone, and of course Taifu Cui could not implement the original plan. But he only dared to hum.
Han Ruzi said: "Mr. Lin will explain to all the heroes in the world. Those who are willing to stay with me to go to the northern border. We welcome you. If you don't want to, I will not force you. Please beware of the court's pursuit in the future."
"Haha, who has never cared about one or two cases in the world? They are not afraid of the court's pursuit, but unfortunately they gave up halfway through the big deal, which makes people sigh."
"The matter is prioritized, and resisting the Huns is more important than fighting for the throne."
Lin Kunshan put away his smile, "I will teach my mentor as soon as possible and listen to his thoughts."
"I hope to hear his guidance, too."
Lin Kunshan stepped away.
These people may be able to temporarily stabilize the stormy Hebian Village, especially Lin Kunshan. Those who look up at the air have persuaded many people to support the deposed emperor, and they may also persuade them to follow the deposed emperor to go to the northern border.
Don’t stay with Han Ruzi. Only with him can King Donghai be more honest.
There is something Han Ruzi always wanted to ask, now he finally has a chance, "Is Kuang Kaiyi really a traitor in the court?"
Don't look at Juenhou coldly, "Do you need to know?"
Han Ruzi nodded slowly, but he could not be a person who sacrificed innocent people with peace of mind.
Don’t be desperate to stare at Juanhou for a while, “Kuang Kaiyi opens a shop openly, secretly lends money, and relies on the world and government forces to force many borrowers to destroy their families. This is not a secret. If you want, you can send someone to inquire. People like him are likely to be bribed by the court.”
It turns out that this is the reason why Kuang Kaiyi was killed for fear of death.
Han Ruzi smiled and said, "I believe in you."
He snorted desperately, "I have great ambitions, but I don't believe in you. When you leave the capital for a hundred miles, it will be the time for me to say goodbye."
Han Ruzi's face turned slightly red. It was indeed his failure to conquer such a person who was desperate. "How should I thank..."
Don't go to the side and sit on the table, seeming more interested in the corpse on the door panel.
King Donghai shook his head, "Women's kindness, yes, this is your biggest problem. This allows you to get some support from slaves and people, but you will lose a real hero."
Don’t be pleased without being pleased, Donghai King failed even more thoroughly than Han Ruzi.
"You have lost the best opportunity, and it is the only chance." Donghai King really spoke to Han Ruzi, "Will the Queen Mother let you go? Whether you ask for your life or not, the result will be the same."
"As long as the news spreads, the Empress Dowager will not kill me publicly." Han Ruzi believes that the Empress Dowager will use the war in the northern border to lead the Southern Army and will not easily cause any other troubles.
"You can't even get out of this remote area, so what news will you send?" shouted Donghai King.
Han Ruzi was indeed worried about this matter.
Jin Chunzhong hurried in, "A man came outside the village, claiming to be the instructor of Juehou, named Du Motian."
Han Ruzi was overjoyed. If Du Chuanyun or Zhang Youcai came, it might be just to protect Juehou, but Du Motian was likely to bring news from Yang Feng, which was exactly what Han Ruzi was looking forward to.
