Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 165: One Household, Two Lives

That Dong Er ran around in the neighborhood, knowing that if he rushed to the city gate and tried to get out of the city, he would definitely be caught, so he had to find a place to hide right now. But where can I hide... Back then, it was not easy to get food from the famine all the way from Hedong to Tokyo, but now I have to hide to avoid being found to find food?

Unless it is sheltered by a capable person! In desperation, Dong Er recalled the question about Li Xia'er being asked by the government a few days ago, and he also vaguely heard that the officer said that General Guo Shao's assassination might have something to do with Li Xia'er;

He didn't care too much, since Guo Shao and Zhao San have a grudge...then I will help Guo Shao kill the enemy now, and he will help me! Besides, Dong Er had no choice but to try, otherwise he would have no way to avoid being hunted in Tokyo.

So Dong Er went straight to the Daxiangguo Temple. Guo Shao is also quite famous in Tokyo. He could hear people talking about his war against Shouzhou at the end of last year and the beginning of this year from time to time. Dong Er had also heard about it a long time ago, and knew that the Guo Mansion was over there.

Dong Er panicked and did not choose his way, and finally avoided the official wandering in the official shop. Not long after he committed the crime, he reckoned that the government immediately went to a few city gates to arrest him. Tokyo City is so big that there is no obvious movement in places a little far away from the Zhao Mansion.

After a long time, Dong Er finally found the front street of Guo's Mansion. As soon as he approached the gate of the mansion, he saw several generals coming out from the gate of the mansion and leading their horses to the small courtyard next to the gate. Dong Er hurried forward, but was immediately caught by several sergeants.

"I'm looking for General Guo Shao!" Dong Er said urgently, "I need to see you."

A horse-faced general with a terrifying face shouted, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that there were quite a few people around, Dong Er said, "I would like to take a step to speak. If I can meet General Guo, it would be best to speak face to face."

The horse-faced general had already become wary, because he saw that there were dried blood on Dong Er's hair and the back of his ears. The horse-faced general said: "Take it to the opposite yard and talk."

There is a courtyard opposite the Guo Mansion, which was originally the place where the guards on duty were stationed, and there were dozens of strong and strong men day and night. In the past, Guo Shao was relatively low-key, fearing that he would privately set up forbidden soldiers at home to attract people's criticism, so he only set up 10 or 20 personal soldiers on duty in the front yard of the mansion, and some servants converted from Qin Shitou's subordinates; However, Guo Shao was assassinated recently, and there was a reason to strengthen the defense and deploy elite soldiers, and he didn't care too much.

The horse-faced man brought Dong Er to the main room of the military room, and after questioning...then Dong Er said that he killed Zhao San!

... Guo Shao arrived soon, observed Dong Er first, and then asked him about killing Zhao San. Dong Er then told how his father was killed by Zhao San and how he took revenge.

In the end, he said bluntly: "The grassroots have nowhere to go. Knowing that General Guo and Zhao Yanei have enmity, they come to agree with each other."

Guo Shao and others listened, you looked at me, I looked at you, several people looked at each other, but couldn't say a word. Guo Shao cursed inwardly: I'm going to Nima! It's all about killing people, and you even ran to my house to vote for me, how dare I hide you after eating a leopard?

At this juncture, Zhao San was originally suspected of intending to murder Guo Shao's life; in the end, Zhao San was assassinated in just a few days, and the assassin went straight to Guo's residence. Isn't this the assassin sent by Guo Shao?

Guo Shao was in a very complicated mood. He felt that he was going to be in big trouble...but he was still a little rejoiced: Fortunately, he killed more than a dozen knives, and directly inserted the knife into his skull, killing Zhao San; Responsibility also needs to be shouldered, leaving behind scourges and hidden dangers.

It's like Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty killed Guo Wei's family, but didn't kill Guo Wei. As a result, nothing was done, hatred was formed, and the country was destroyed.

It took a long time for Zuo You to open his mouth and said: "This Dong Er, there is no way to save him. We have to hand it over, and we have to keep him alive."

Yang Biao said: "Zhao San killed a thief, and it happened that the son of the thief was a groom in the house... It just happened to be at this moment, too coincidental, no one would believe it if he said it. Most people would probably think that Dong Er was the assassin sent by the elder brother."

Guo Shao nodded and said, "But Dong Er really has nothing to do with me, you can ask him now."

Guo Shao thought about it secretly in his heart:

First, after the Battle of Jinyang, he rescued a father and daughter surnamed Dong near Gaoping; one of the eldest daughters of the Dong family was married or sold, and one son fled abroad. And Yulian is also surnamed Dong, and her hometown is also near Gaopingna, Hedong. Guo Shao had reason to guess that the father and daughter might be Yulian's family members, so he brought them back to Tokyo, but his guess was wrong.

Originally, he wanted to keep the father and daughter of the Dong family as servants in the mansion, but the old man wanted to steal when he first came, so Guo Shao bought Dong Sanmei with money and expelled the old man from the mansion... After doing this, the old man was in Tokyo. The guy went to steal again after spending the money. When he stole to Zhao's house, he was finally caught and killed by Zhao San casually.

And Dong Er fled famine to Tokyo, and happened to be a groom in Zhao's mansion. Seeing that his father was killed, he avenged his father and found an opportunity to kill Zhao San at home. It was quite a coincidence that it was difficult for Guo Shao to get rid of the relationship, but the fact is that Dong Er was not sent by Guo Shao.

Guo Shao thought: Zhao San is really dead? The person who will be the emperor was killed by a groom at home when he was a teenager before he had time to show his awesome skills?

At this moment, Zuo You asked: "Dong Er, when did you enter the Zhao Mansion?"

Dong Erdao: "The third year of Guangshun (953 A.D., the end of Guo Wei's reign)."

Zuo You turned to look at Guo Shao, and said: "My lord started his business after the Gaoping War in the first year of Xiande. Before that, he was just a young general or a soldier of the Imperial Army, and he had no ability or need to work in the Zhao residence. It is impossible for Dong Er to enter the Zhao residence and have nothing to do with the lord."

Guo Shao nodded and said: "Although this is the case, we cannot rule out the suspicion that we found Dong Er later and used ready-made personnel."

Zuo You said helplessly: "At this point, this Dong Er has to be handed over to the government. More than one person saw him in Guo's residence. If he disappeared here, we would hate him even more."

Guo Shao looked at Dong Er and said, "You overestimate me. Then Zhao Kuangyin is the commander of the front of the palace, and he is highly trusted by the officials. You killed Zhao Kuangyin's brother, how dare I hide you, and how can I protect you? I should hand you over to the government now. If you are arrested and locked up in a big prison, you may suffer a lot, but you may not die; you will die outside, so what if Zhao Kuangyin hacks you to death?"

Dong Erdao: "I know that I have committed an unpardonable crime. If I dare to kill Zhao San, I have no intention of living!"

Guo Shao nodded and couldn't help but said: "You have the guts!" He thought for a while and said, "You really don't necessarily die, you should stay in the prison well, and when others ask you, just tell the truth, and you must confess truthfully!"

Dong Er had to accept his fate.

"I handed you over to the official, you don't have to thank me." Guo Shao stood up and ordered, "I'm bound. This person can't be sent to an ordinary government. I will go all the way to the Privy Council and hand it over to Wang Pu directly."

Guo Shao and others made some preparations and stuffed Dong Erwuhuada into a car. Guo Shao also took a carriage, called a group of personal soldiers and guards of honor, and went straight to the imperial city.

The Privy Council of the Zhou Dynasty is currently in the imperial city, inside the Donghua Gate. A group of people arrived at Ma Xing Street first, and then went to Donghua Gate.

Not long after, Wang Pu and a few people came out from the Donghua Gate. They asked some questions first, then raised the curtain of the car to look at the prisoners who were tightly tied up above, and some people sat aside and watched.

While watching, Wang Pu ordered without turning his head, "Come on, go to Kaifeng Mansion and call the Tuiguan from the left hall."

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "This person claimed to have killed Saburo Zhao, and he also heard that I had a grudge with Zhao San, so he fled to my door and asked for help to let me hide him. How dare I keep him? Hurry up and send it to Deputy Wang... Alas, I am so helpless, this person really has nothing to do with me!"

Wang Pu remained calm and said: "Don't worry, General Guo, the court will definitely find out the truth." He paused for a moment and then said, "I just learned that Zhao Sanlang was assassinated and died. I don't want to catch the criminal so soon. The assassin is still alive, so everything is easy to handle."

Guo Shao was speechless and looked anxious.

Wang Pu gently mentioned again: "Zhao Hongyin also passed away."

Guo Shao immediately showed surprise: "The father of Zhao Dushi? How did he pass away?"

Wang Pudao: "It is said that he vomited blood in a fit of anger, but he couldn't be saved. But Zhao Hongyin is already old and not in good health, otherwise something would happen in a fit of anger."

Guo Shao's face showed a faint blackness, and his articulateness was already a little awkward: "The Zhao Du envoy is really... It's really unfortunate that two people went away in one day."

Wang Pu sighed: "Yes, and one is his father and the other is his brother, both are men from the Zhao family."

Guo Shao stood there for a while, and felt that he had nothing to say, so he bowed, "The criminal Dong Er will be handed over to Deputy Wang, and I will leave."

Wang Pu nodded, and replied: "I'm sorry to send you off."

Guo Shao got into the carriage and wanted to go to the Zhao Mansion to see the situation, but it was difficult for him to go with his armored men and guards of honor. So he walked south from Maxing Street, went straight home, finally couldn't bear it halfway, and sent a servant in commoner clothes to go to Zhao's house to have a look.

In the afternoon, the servant sent to see the situation came back and went to meet Guo Shao in the hall of the front yard. The family member replied: "The call for soul banners and the white cloth at the gate have all been hung up, and a lot of paper money has been sprinkled in front of the gate, and the funeral has already been sent out! I asked the nearby spectators, and it was indeed Zhao Kuangyin's father and brother who died together!"

Guo Shao felt a lot of pressure... I thought that the death of Mr. Zhao and Zhao San had nothing to do with him, but how would Zhao Kuangyin's family feel?

Nima's! I was assassinated, but I didn't take revenge... In the end, I am not a victim, but I am hated instead?

People's hearts are so strange, some people do something wrong to others, and instead of feeling indebted, they intensify their hatred! The Zhao family not only has Zhao Kuangyin, but also mother, son, fourth brother, and sisters. Do these people have a crush on Guo Shao?
