Chapter 254 Please leave Handan!
When Zhao Kuo and his disciples arrived in Handan, Xinling Jun was waiting at the city gate.
Xinlingjun also looked a little tired. During these days, he had no rest and was always helping to inquire about the situation. Xinlingjun's servants emerged in many talents, but he found many clues and caught some suspicious knights. Unfortunately, the facts proved that these were all suspicious soldiers arranged by the enemy. Even if he deliberately attracted the pursuit forces sent by Zhao State, Xinlingjun could only change his strategy.
Zhao Kuo got off his horse, walked to Xinlingjun, leaned over to bow to him, and said, "Thank you very much..." Before he finished speaking, Wei Wuji stretched out his hand and helped him up. Wei Wuji shook his head and said seriously, "I treat you as my brother. Your family is also my family. Please don't say such things again..." He pulled Zhao Kuo and walked into Handan City.
"The news received by General Lian Po, the second group of people who came to the horse and sent me was Qin. Although I don't believe this very much, we assume that if the second group of people were Qin, then the first group of people might be Zhao Bao or... the people sent by others. With such strength in Zhao State, he may be the only one who can escape me. "
While Wei Wuji was talking, he pulled Zhao Kuo to the mansion where Zhao Bao lived. Zhao Kuo was still thinking. Wei Wuji continued, "I sent someone to investigate Zhao Bao's recent whereabouts? I found that during this period, only Zhao Bu and the two people of Long Yang Jun visited him? And his guests had already died, and now those who were with him are just those who served him because of Shangjun's order."
"Also, Mr. Tian sent someone to tell me? After you asked you to return to Handan? Then go find him."
"I think Mr. Tian may know something."
"Let's do this, I'll go find Mr. Longyang, you go find Mr. Tian first? Then we meet with Zhao Bao!" Wei Wuji finished speaking quickly, then turned over and left the place directly. Zhao Kuo gradually recovered and forced the worry in his heart. His mind became clearer. The enemy's purpose was not his mother, or art? Their purpose was himself, and they kidnapped their family? What exactly did they want to get?
Is it to kill yourself or to force yourself to take effect?
Zhao Kuo frowned? He rushed towards Tian Dan's mansion.
Tian Dan sat alone in the courtyard? His retainer led Zhao Kuo to him? He waved his hand until Zhao Kuo leaned over to salute him, and let Zhao Kuo sit in front of him. Tian Dan looked at Zhao Kuo who was tired and sad in front of him, and he swallowed the words to his mouth. Zhao Kuo looked a little familiar to him, but Zhao Kuo was much stronger than the people in his memory. At least, he did not give up on himself or live without drinking.
If his family had an accident, maybe that would be the case.
Tian Dan stared at Zhao Kuo's face, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he spoke, "Do you want to find Zhao Bao now?" Zhao Kuo was stunned, then nodded, Tian Dan shook his head and said seriously, "Lou Yan died not long ago... he was killed by Shangjun." Zhao Kuo looked at him in confusion. Lou Yan had long been sentenced to death. Isn't it normal to be executed?
Tian Dan narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "The people who monitor Lou Yan and the same people who monitor Zhao Bao... Oh, forget it..." He shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "If the one who wants to hold your family hostage is King Zhao, his purpose is to kill you, what are you going to do?" Zhao Kuo was silent and did not reply.
“Now there are three roads that you can choose.”
"You can declare the crimes of King Zhao to everyone, remove him from his position, and support his son to become king. From then on, you will be in charge of Zhao State. You can implement any policy of your own at will. However, doing so will inevitably avoid a civil war. Young people like Li Mu and Sima Shang may follow you, but old ministers such as Lian Po, Pang Gong, Tian Yue will definitely not follow you. Of course, I think they will not stop you, they will likely kill themselves."
Zhao Kuo lowered his head and said nothing.
"Of course, you can also pretend that nothing has happened and continue to teach your students in horse suits, but you won't know how many more times you'll experience a disaster like this."
"Or you can leave Zhao State and go to other countries."
As Tian Dan said, his voice became low. He said seriously: "I thought you were not the prime minister or general, and King Zhao loved talents, you would not be like me... But, I didn't expect: King Zhao was more ruthless than King Qi. King Qi was afraid of me, but he did not kill me. He just wanted to send me abroad so that I could not threaten him. King Yan was afraid of Le Yi and did not want to kill him, but just sent someone to take over his position."
"But... this matter was the idea of King Zhao. There is one thing that you should know that many of the things that King Chang'an did are actually inseparable from his brother. I know that ministers should not discuss their kings, but I don't think this is the evil of King Zhao. If a monarch without any means, he cannot sit in his own position. I heard that everyone has his own way."
"This is the monarch's method."
"You can't be a king because you are too soft-hearted, and I can't be a monarch because I disdain such a method."
"After you killed Chang'an Jun, I was paying close attention to everything. I found that Zhao Bao and Lou Yan had letters in contact, but Zhao Bao did not leave his mansion, and Lou Yan did not leave his residence. They were the soldiers who supervised them, the soldiers sent by the King of Zhao helped them communicate letters. These soldiers were easy to buy. I asked my retainers to spend a lot of money to copy the letters written by Lou Yan to Zhao Bao..."
Tian Dan put a letter on the desk. Zhao Kuo picked up the bamboo slips, which read: "Everything is ready. If you use the horse as a threat, then Kuo will die." Zhao Kuo looked at the bamboo slips in a daze. Tian Dan continued: "The King of Zhao knew everything Zhao Bao did and everything he was ready to do... It's a pity that they underestimated Lou Yan. Zhao Bao thought that his promise to Lou Yan could save him from his death penalty and would make Lou Yan help him wholeheartedly."
"But he may have forgotten one thing, Lou Yan hates this kind of betrayal of the ministers the most."
"He was the victim at the beginning... He probably told the spies of Qin about this, and I don't know how he told him. Maybe he had his own contact information... Zhao Bao and King Zhao were not willing to bear the charge of killing you, so they needed Qin people or Yan people to kill you. Judging from the investigation results of General Lian Po, they found Qin people to take the charge...."
Tian Dan sneered and said, "Perhaps, you can find a large number of letters from Lou Yan about letting the Qin people kidnap your family and avenge you..."
"When Zhao Bao arranged fake identities and fake exchange records for his dead soldiers, he might not have expected that a group of real Qin soldiers, who used the identities he woven into, lived next to those fake Qin people according to the road danger he designed... Zhao Bao was a fool, he was not Lou Yan's opponent."
"So, I guess your family is now in the hands of those real Qin people. Zhao Bao originally relied on Lou Yan for all these crimes. It seems that Lou Yan also had this idea. I think Lou Yan might have left a lot of evidence about Zhao Bao, but I don't know where these evidences are..." After Tian Dan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Kuo and said seriously: "Please leave Handan quickly."
"Return to the horse suit calmly and leave here with those who are willing to follow you."
"If those evidences of crime are not exposed, you are safe, but if someone... makes the conspiracy of King Zhao public... Then you must die if you stay in Zhao State."
Tian Dan suddenly looked into the distance, frowned, and then said a name.
"Lou Chang."
.........
When Xinling Jun arrived at Pingyang Jun's mansion, Pingyang Jun was still lying on the sickbed, silent and without saying a word. Now, he no longer had a title, and even the people sent by King Zhao to serve him left. There was only one Zhao Bu in the empty courtyard. Zhao Bu was also worried about Ma Fujun's family... Therefore, when Xinling Jun arrived, he was asking about the recent situation.
He also sent people to investigate these matters.
Xinling Jun sat beside Zhao Bao and said seriously: "I know that these things have something to do with you... Ma Fujun treats you as his elder, how can you bear to murder him? Just for the sake of Chang'an Jun, do you have to treat him like this? You know what kind of person Chang'an Jun is. Dong Chengzi listed more than 20 crimes of his crimes, and this crime was committed after he arrived in Handan."
"But just because of you, because of Shangjun's protection, he was not held accountable. He even sent people to intimidate Dong Chengzi and kill the officials who came to arrest him... Any one of his crimes could be taken out, and he could kill him dozens of times... The people went to excavate channels, and he took his guests to travel and stayed in the village overnight, but let the guests arrest local women at will... and raped them?... How many people did you know that they committed suicide?"
"He was eating in Wu'an Restaurant. Because the food was not up to par, he set fire in the restaurant. Do you know that two young children were burned to death??"
"The evil things he did cannot be recorded in the bamboo slips. Such a person can always escape all judgments... As the young master of Zhao, can't you still tell the right or wrong?"
Zhao Bao seemed a little moved. He shook his lips before saying, "Chang'an Jun... I'm sorry to die."
"Since that's the case, why do you do something like this?"
Xinlingjun questioned again, but Zhao Bao refused to say anything... Zhao Bu in the distance listened to Xinlingjun's words, clenched his fists, and was about to speak, suddenly a guest rushed in and said to Wei Wuji in panic: "Head of the family, a madman has come from the city... is inciting the people..." Wei Wuji jumped up suddenly, hurriedly walked out of the place, walked to the door, Xinlingjun turned around, looked at Zhao Bao, and said seriously: "You will definitely regret it."
After they left, Zhao Bao then said to Zhao Bu: "Go and see and tell me what happened."
Zhao Bu left helplessly.
At this time, in the center of Handan, on the most prosperous eastern street, a naked man was roaring angrily. The people gathered around him. The people looked at him in surprise and did not dare to get too close. The man was particularly thin, as if there was only a skeleton left. He held the bamboo slips in his arms and said loudly: "The King of Zhao plotted to murder Ma Fujun! The King of Zhao plotted to murder Ma Fujun!"
"He sent someone to pretend to be a Qin people to take Ma Fujun's family hostage!"
"He wants to use hostages to force Ma to death!"
"This is evidence. These are their forged identities, and their real identities... They are the warriors of King Zhao!"
"Come on, take a look. I copied it many times and copied it many copies. No one can hide this. It was because King Zhao wanted to kill Ma Fujun. King Zhao was jealous of Ma Fujun. He hated Ma Fujun. He was a villain who was not worthy of being the king!!" The man roared at the top of his lungs, and as he said, he spread the bamboo slips in his hand around. Unfortunately, no one dared to pick them up.
The man laughed wildly, and he said loudly: "I have left evidence of guilt everywhere. They cannot be washed clearly, they cannot be washed clearly! Zhao Dan villain!! He wants to murder Ma Fujun! Everyone has learned the truth now. King Zhao will send someone to kill you. Run, run, tell everyone about this matter, let them help Ma Fujun! Let them protect Ma Fujun! Ma Fujun cannot be forced to death by a villain like Zhao Dan!"
When Wei Wuji and his men rushed here, they were also shocked. The people dispersed around and did not dare to stay here anymore. Some people angrily blocked him and shouted at Wei Wuji: "No one can hurt Ma Fujun!" Wei Wuji quickly sent people to pick up the bamboo slips on the ground and asked the soldiers to arrest the madmen. For a moment, bamboo slips appeared in various places in Handan.
However, the bamboo slips record the true identities of the warriors who went to capture Ma Fujun's family, as well as a letter written by Pingyang Jun to others in the hope of killing Ma Fujun.
Several soldiers grabbed the madman, put on his clothes, and pressed him toward the Prime Minister's Mansion. The madman was walking on the road.
Suddenly, he started crying.
"Son...I'm sorry for you..."
"Don't worry... He will be criticized by everyone, he will bear the infamy for thousands of years... I've avenged you, I've avenged you..."
