491. Chapter 491 Unexpected
At this time, after He Xuan whispered a few words in Su Xun's ear, Su Xun just smiled strangely and did not take the orders to Zhang Huaiding at all. Instead, he nodded to He Xuan with a sign, but said to Zhang Huaiding with ease: "That's natural. Suo will definitely help Brother Lu Zhong sit firmly in Hexi! Now several generals are outside the city, Suo will send orders to deploy everything!"
As he said that, he took out an arrow from his sleeve and said to a lieutenant behind him: "Go! I will pass on this governor Jun. After several generals enter the city, the four gates will be closed. Cooperate with General Zhang's ambush to guard the four gates and not let anyone go!"
"I will obey the order!" The captain respectfully took the order and quickly left the Jiedushi Mansion.
At this time, Li Yue'e, who was controlled, was taken down by He Xuan, and at the same time carried Zhang Huaishen's body to the inner hall and cleaned up the scene again. After everything was done, except for Zhang Huaiding's own guards, there were only Suo Xun and Zhang Huaiding. According to the previous discussions, after the generals entered the Jiedushi's mansion, Zhang Huaiding cried to everyone about the fact that Zhang Huaishen suddenly died.
If Sun Mo and Wang Qifeng don’t believe it, they can go to the back hall to check it out personally. Suo Xun and Zhang Huaiding have enough confidence in the cup of poisonous wine that Zhang Huaiden drank. Because the wine Zhang Huaiden drank was not a crane red or arsenic...but a very rare poison - Wuyou San.
As the name suggests, this poison is to die without pain. According to legend, this medicine originated in the Qin Dynasty. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, Qin Shihuang ordered the burning of books on the world and buried 460 alchemists and Confucians alive. He was still worried. He thought that the elderly knew the past and the present, and most of them missed the old system of the previous dynasty and hated his cruelty and harshness. So he issued an imperial edict: Return to the auspicious persons of sixty. No matter whether they are a concubine or a concubine, they will not die until they are 60 years old, they will be buried alive.
(This story of 60 immortals buried alive is not fabricated by Sansheng, but there is indeed such legendary stories, which are difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, when I was young, I often heard from my elders. The reason why Sansheng used quotations here is just to fabricate this kind of worry-free sect. If you are interested in the follow-up story, you can search on Baidu, and there should be three versions...)
It is precisely because of this that the allusion of burying one's life at the age of 60 was the 60th. Although the court had such a government order at that time, as a child, how could he watch his parents be buried in life? So he wanted to seek a way to gain a compromise that did not violate the government orders but also fulfilled his filial piety.
The so-called God pays off for those who are determined, and in the end, I really found a prescription, which is the current poison called Wuyou Powder. Its main purpose is that when the old man is 60 years old, he will die silently after taking this Wuyou Powder, without any pain or any signs of poisoning. This not only complies with the laws, but also saves these elderly people over 60 years of age from the suffering of burying them alive.
Everyone knows where this poison originates. Some people say that it is a pity for the suffering of the world, so they leave this prescription to help the world through this disaster. Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, this poison does have unique effects. However, everything has both positive and negative sides, and this poison is no exception. Although Wuyou Powder is not painful at the time of death, it tastes very bitter when it is drunk.
Although many doctors in later generations tried various medicinal materials to cover up this bitterness, it was useless in the end. It seemed that this bitterness was innate and uneducated. In the end, the doctor finally understood a truth. If you blindly remove the bitterness in your mouth, Wuyou San will lose the effect it should have. The so-called bitterness and sweetness will be born together and accompany each other, which is in line with the principle of nature.
It is precisely because of the bitterness that this medicine is hard to hide that Zhang Huaiding forced Zhang Huaiden to drink poisoned wine. If it weren't for this bitterness, he would not have to come forward. Zhang Huaiden's guard had already been bribed by him. As long as he put this poison in his daily diet, even if Zhang Huaiden's diet is cautious, it would be enough to make Zhang Huaiden's soul return to the nine heavens.
These were the arrangements made by the two in advance. Even if Sun Mo and Wang Qifeng had some doubts, it would be useless and without evidence. As the Guiyi army of the Zhang family, only Zhang Huaiding was left as the heir. In this time of crisis, Zhang Huaiding could naturally take up the position of Hexi Jiedu.
In order to prevent mistakes, Zhang Huaiding had already set up 10,000 ambushers in the city early. If Sun Mo and Wang Qifeng were not convinced, they could instantly surround the Jiedushi's Mansion and take them down with their entourage. At the same time, Suo Xun, the governor of Shazhou, strictly ordered the four gates to be blocked. Even if Sun Mo and Wang Qifeng were outside the city, no matter how many troops were stationed, it would be useless. As long as the two were captured, the overall situation would be settled.
The two of them were naturally seamless. In Zhang Huaiding's heart, this was a perfect plan. After today, he would take charge of the military and political power in Hexi. Years of depression seemed like a volcano that was blowing a well. Although he was a little nervous at this moment, the feeling of winning gave him an unprecedented pleasure.
Hahaha!
At this time, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside the mansion, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves mixed with heavy footsteps. Then I saw Mu Tuoxian, Sun Mo and Wang Qi coming in from the mansion. The three of them had different appearances but had a common temperament, which was a murderous aura that had been through the battlefield for a long time.
Among the three, Mu Tuoxian was the Tuyuhun native. He had a strange hairstyle on his head and was very majestic when walking tall and big.
Sun Mo is as good as his name, with his dark face shining brightly. Although he is not tall and elegant in appearance, everyone who knows him knows that he is a person who is not good at speaking. However, Wang Qifeng is not as handsome as a man. He is of medium height, but has a round waist, a fat head and big ears, and a beard with a beard like a steel needle. But even such a vulgar appearance, he has such a famous name, which is really: a name cannot be seen!
As soon as Sun Mo and Wang Qifeng entered the Jiedu Mansion, they felt a little strange. At this moment, Zhang Huaiding had already seen the two of them early, and Sun Mo and Wang Qifeng also saw Zhang Huaiding sitting upright in the hall. However, just as Zhang Huaiding was about to get up and acted with a sad face, an unexpected change made Zhang Huaiding stunned on the spot.
Because at this moment, Suo Xun, beside him, suddenly ran towards Sun and Wang, and said in a panic: "The three generals are here at the right time. Hurry up and capture this traitor who killed his brother and treason!"
"What! Lord Suo, what did you say just now?" Sun and Wang were not relieved by this sudden change, but Mu Tuoxian, who was standing beside him, exclaimed in surprise with great reaction.
When Su Xun was about to run to the three of them, he pointed at Zhang Huaiding in the hall with anger and said, "Zhang Huaiding is fond of his brother and treason, and his crime is unforgivable! Just now, he actually threatened General Zhang to drink poisoned wine, and then threatened the official to collude with him to create a lie, and create the illusion of General Zhang's sudden death in front of the three generals!"
"What!?"
"this!……"
