Hanbo

Chapter 58
"What's more, the guards in the palace and the imperial guards are checked every three days in the village pavilion. It is impossible for your family members to move in advance."

"Your actions today, the most likely is that the news was sent two days ago. Yunyang is not far from Chang'an. Your family members have probably been taken away. What if I ask His Majesty to seal off the entire Guanzhong?"

"If I were behind the scenes and learned that the plan was exposed and the main road was blocked, I would not take them to take this risk, so..."

"As for the glory and wealth they promised, it's just..."

"Your family members don't know about this matter? It's best not to know, maybe you can still live. If you know, then..."

Huo Shan talked to himself for a long time, but he was paying attention to the changes of the two of them all the time. Seeing the despairing faces of the two, Huo Shan complained in his heart:
'What two idiots, they even told their family when they did such a thing? '

The two did inform their families, but they only wrote a letter home, which did not mention the matter.

They just told them that someone would pick them up, and told them not to worry, just follow them. They didn't tell their family members what they were going to do.

But they were already nervous, and it was their family members who supported them. Huo Shan even used his family members to scare them, so it was normal for them to be unable to hold back.

Huo Shan was about to add fire, but he didn't make any other gestures, such as pretending to be earnest, but said flatly:
"If this is done, I also believe that they will be able to protect your family, and there will be no problem with your life's glory and wealth, but this matter has been exposed, and you have not done anything..."

"Besides, you also know that the court will definitely not let this matter go, and will investigate to the end."

"If you can tell the people behind the scenes, I can promise that I will ask His Majesty to let your family members go. The sooner you tell them, the sooner they can be found, and they will be closer to safety. Think about it carefully. Bar!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Shan saw the expressions of the two of them as if they were grasping at straws, so he resolutely walked directly to the door, and said as he walked:
"It's understandable that you don't want to talk about it. I'll ask other people first. If others say it first, then..."

Just two steps away, Huo Shan was stopped by his younger brother.

"Wait, a certain family is willing to say."

Huo Shan turned his head to look at them.

The two of them looked at each other, the elder brother remained silent, and the younger brother began to explain the details of his mission in detail.

But what they said was the same as what they didn't.

The assassination team has found a total of five people so far, two are alive, and three are dead. Among the three dead, these two people know that one of them is also an assassin, and the remaining two don't know at all.

Their task is to assassinate. After the assassination is completed, they can commit suicide. As for the rest, they don't need to worry about it.

Including who contacted them and how to contact them afterwards, I don't even know that there is no such process in life.

As for why the two of them did this, they were still threatened by their family members, and then they couldn't stand the request of their former benefactor and the temptation to make their family rich and prosperous in the future.

I don't know where the family will be sent, I just know that they will have a good life in the future, but this is also common in this era.

Just do your job, and your family members don’t have to worry. This is a moral standard in this era, and everyone generally follows it.

Therefore, the news from these two people is not very rewarding.

Huo Shan walked out the door and washed his hands in the basin brought by Xiao Lizi. After washing, Xu Ziwei who was standing next to him couldn't help asking:
"Who will I ask next?"

Today, he can be said to look at Huo Shan with admiration. After extorting a confession, his face does not change. A young man dares to inflict severe punishment on people, and he knows how to induce him.

After he came out, he looked indifferent, as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, he had the legacy of his father. It was easier for his father to kill a Hun than a chicken.

But he is just admiring it at the moment, the battlefield is much more cruel than this.

Huo Shan thought for a while when he heard Xu Ziwei's question.

'The person who assassinated didn't know the situation, and the person who poisoned him probably did the same, so I probably can't ask anything! '

'As for the person who connected with them and gave them poison, it was basically the little eunuch. '

'So, we can only attack that little eunuch. '

Huo Shan put his eyes on Xiao Lizi who was standing still beside him, the corners of his mouth raised, and he had an idea in his mind.

"The two people in the Shaofu probably won't be able to ask anything, so go directly to the two in Jiaofangdian, what do you think, Uncle Xu?"

Xu Ziwei thought for a moment, nodded, and then asked suddenly:
"Are you really going to let these two families go?"

Huo Shan showed a bright smile, looked up at Xu Ziwei, and said a word:

"A promise is a promise. If you only promise but not promise, then it is not a promise."

Then those two people were taken out, and Xiaoying was brought in.

Huo Shan asked her to take off her hood, and with the cloth in her mouth, she was playing with a glass bottle of transparent, colorless poison with a very light fishy smell!

"Let's talk about it. My aunt and grandmother treat you very well. They buy property for your family, and there are rewards on weekdays. There is no shortage of prosperity and wealth in your family. Why do you do such a thing?"

As for Xiaoying, Huo Shan didn't use torture, and he didn't plan to use punishment.

She is not a breakthrough point, so Huo Shan's idea is to ask something if he can ask something, and forget it if he can't.

Xiaoying is also 33 this year. She has been with Wei Zifu since she entered the palace at the age of 16. Huo Shan really didn't expect her to have problems.

"Back to Xiaojunhou, the younger brother in the family owed the loan money, and the nephew who gave me retirement was also taken away. I have no choice but to."

"Oh, what a last resort!"

Huo Shan originally wanted to ask why he didn't ask Wei Zifu for help, but he suddenly lost his mood. As a domestic servant, he couldn't even be loyal, so he didn't want to say more.

"Tell me who is the person who joined you? How do you act? What is the reward after the event is completed? The money your younger brother owes to the family? When was your nephew taken away?"

Not surprisingly, she didn't know anything, only that her younger brother owed more than 700 gold in loan money, and her nephew was taken away half a month ago.

I owed 700 million yuan. There is no doubt that I can't spend so much money elsewhere. It can only be a gamble, so there must be something wrong with it.

According to the nephew, he was taken to work as a loan, a seven-year-old child, to work?Just a hostage.

As for the details of the mission, she didn't ask anything. Her poison was given to her by the little eunuch who was blinded by Xiao Hei.

It seems that the breakthrough is still in the little eunuch.

After the questioning, Huo Shan went directly outside, Xiaoying seemed to have recovered from it at this time, crying bitterly, and threw herself at Huo Shan's feet hysterically.

"Little Junhou, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have attacked the queen. If I'm disloyal, I should cut myself to pieces. Spare my family, spare my family!"

Huo Shan kicked her away, and walked out without stopping:
"If you make a mistake, you will be punished."

To say that among these few people, Huo Shan is the most unacceptable to her. The others are all from the Shaofu or Lang Zhongling, and only she is the real person around the queen.

Next, Huo Shan and Xu Ziwei interrogated the two people in the Young Mansion, and then invited Xu Ziwei out, leaving only Sun Shang to help, and brought the little eunuch.

It took less than half an hour during the period, and the piercing screams that came out from time to time made Xu Ziwei's scalp tingle a little.

Xu Ziwei was very curious and wanted to go in several times to have a look, but he held back.

When Huo Shan came out, Xu Ziwei glanced through the gap.

The little eunuch inside was pale, and sat in the corner with a ferocious face, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, his hands were empty except for the palms, and two holes were left on his thighs.

Rows of things that belonged to the little eunuch were neatly placed on the ground next to it.

There were large water stains on the ground, and there was a basin and a hourglass filled with water, and there were also watermarks on the little eunuch's wrist.

Xu Ziwei glanced at Sun Shang, and found that his head was covered in cold sweat and his eyes were a little erratic. Xu Ziwei swallowed, looking at Huo Shan who was calmly wiping his hands, he finally felt inexplicably uneasy.

Even if you kill countless people on the battlefield, you will still feel uneasy seeing this scene. After all, killing and torturing people are two different concepts.

"Uncle Xu, what's the matter?"

Xu Ziwei was startled awake and shook his head:
"Nothing, by the way, Zihou asked if something happened?"

Huo Shan nodded with a smile on his face:
"I've asked you all, I'll go wash up first, and we'll talk later when Uncle Du comes."

After a while Du Zhou rushed over, Huo Shan also washed up, changed his clothes and came out.

It's already past noon, and it's around four o'clock now, but everyone has no time to eat, and a few people went straight to the topic after seeing the ceremony.

"Now that I have asked clearly, their plan is like this..."

"Divided into three sides, assassination on one side, and poisoning on the other side. The assassins are the guards of the Jiaofang Palace, and the poisoners are the people in the Jiaofang Palace and the eunuch of the Shaofu. Make two preparations."

"They are all abandoned children. They don't know who is behind the scenes, and no one has seen them. It is the little eunuch who ordered them to act and gave them poison."

Huo Shan paused when he said this, and Du Zhou said in time:
"So the clue lies in this little eunuch."

Huo Shan nodded and shook his head, the two of them didn't understand what he meant.

"The clue is in him, but he doesn't know much, and he doesn't know who is behind the scenes, but he knows how the news will be passed on after the event is done!"

"How to pass it on?"

Huo Shan rubbed his fingers:
"They decided to poison. After poisoning and assassination, there must be a sound. As long as the assassination, there will be a sound. When he hears it, it means that the matter is completed."

"Then he will leave and convey the news to a soldier in Yemen. From now on, it's none of his business. Just find a hidden place and kill himself."

"His order and source of poison are also this soldier."

As for the front, why didn't he leave when he heard the noise, because it wasn't time to activate, so he was curious, poked his head out and looked outside the door of the Jiaofang Palace, and then Xiao Hei discovered it.

"Little Junhou wants to follow this line to find the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"That's right, but the little eunuch is already dead, he was scared to death by himself, so..."

Du Zhou suddenly showed a mysterious smile:
"Don't worry, little gentleman, the old man has a solution."

　Thank you for the 100 reward from Drunken Tello, thank you big brother! ! !
