I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 395: The poisonous woman’s showdown, Huo Guang despairs; no more resistance, resigned to fate! (Please subscribe)

Although Huo Guang has lost all his foundation like duckweed in the water, who can Huo Xian count on now?

Don't we still have to hug Huo Guang, the big tree that is about to collapse?

Huo Xian hugged Huo Guang's legs and cried so hard that his eyes were as burning as peach blossoms, filled with endless charm and grievance, which made people feel pity.

When the false is true, it is also true, and when the true is false, it is also true.

Whether Huo Xian was really scared at this moment, or whether she was pretending to be panicked in order to ask for Huo Guang's protection, I'm afraid she couldn't tell.

Huang Ba, who was standing nearby and hated Huo Xian the most, couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Huang Gong, can you let me and Zhuo Jing have a few words alone, and then I will give you an explanation."

Huang Ba didn't have to agree to Huo Guang's request. As long as he waved his hand, the swordsman and halberd warrior could capture Huo Xian.

But after all, Huo Guang had made great contributions to the big man. Huang Ba no longer feared him, but still respected him.

If Huo Guang insists on stopping him, the situation will become ugly and difficult.

"General, if you have anything to say, just say it in this courtyard. The lower official and his people are waiting outside the courtyard. General, please hurry up. The county magistrate is waiting for the lower official to return and give his orders."

Huo Zhai is already under control, and there is no rush to capture Huo Xian.

"I know the seriousness and will not delay Mr. Huang's return to life."

Huang Ba waved his hand and temporarily retreated to the courtyard gate of Zhongdi with his swordsman and halberd warrior.

Standing here, Huang Ba couldn't hear the two talking, but he could clearly see what was happening in the hospital and could respond to the situation at any time.

Seeing the others disperse, Huo Guang finally looked coldly at Huo Xian, who was still crying at his feet, and didn't speak for a long time.

He didn't know why, but looking at this woman who was so close to him at the moment, he felt particularly disgusted and disgusted.

Huang Ba was right. The county magistrate was very thoughtful and would not rashly search Huo's house and come to arrest someone without sufficient evidence, not to mention that it was Huo Xian who was arrested.

Then, there is nothing wrong with regicide.

Huo Xian is so bold and rebellious!
Regicide!

Whenever Huo Guang thought of these two words, he felt dizzy and heartbroken.

If Emperor Xiaozhao hadn't suddenly become famous, he wouldn't have hastily selected his current emperor to inherit the rule, and the Huo family wouldn't have had this difficulty.

The beauty is a disaster, the ancients do not deceive me!
It was Huo Xian who ruined his reputation and brought the Huo family to where they are today!

Finally, Huo Guang bent down, reached out and pinched Huo Xian's delicate chin.

Perhaps due to excessive force, the latter suddenly became a little out of breath and tried to break free, but to no avail.

Just like that, Huo Guang forcefully lifted Huo Xian up from the ground and watched the other party struggling without mercy.

It wasn't until the whites of Huo Xian's eyes turned out that Huo Xian relaxed his grip slightly, allowing the latter to have a moment to breathe.

"Have you ever done this?" Huo Guang asked coldly.

"This concubine has not..."

Before Huo Xian finished speaking, Huo Guang immediately tightened his grip and grabbed Huo Xian's throat again.

"I'll ask you again, have you ever committed regicide?" Huo Guang's eyes flashed fiercely, and he seemed to snap the other person's neck on the spot.

Under the threat of death, Huo Xian, who was good at disguising, finally showed fear in his eyes, tears and runny nose welling up.

Finally, Huo Xian nodded with difficulty.

The next moment, Huo Guang let go of his hand as if he had lost all strength, causing the dying Huo Xian to fall to the ground, coughing in pain.

"I am really blind. You have ruined the Huo family! If it weren't for a woman of low birth, how could the Huo family be like this!" Huo Guang lowered his voice and roared like a wounded beast.

Every word turned into a sword, piercing Huo Xian's heart.

What people are most afraid of and heartbroken is that their own value is being denied.

The words "low origin" mentioned by Huo Guang completely negated Huo Xian.

It denies her decades of dedication and achievements as the head matron of the Huo family.

In the past few months, Huo Xian had some resentment towards Huo Guang, and now this resentment had reached its limit.

Huo Xian, who collapsed on the ground, coughed and suddenly began to laugh sinisterly.

I couldn't stop laughing at all.

Weeping and complaining, miserable and cold.

After a while, Huo Xian, whose makeup and hair were gone, slowly turned back to look at Huo Guang.

The resentment in his eyes seemed to be dripping down, which made Huo Guang feel a little afraid.

"Husband, do you want to know what else this concubine has done for the Huo family behind your back?"

Huo Guang was stunned when he heard this.

This was the first time Huo Xian contradicted him, which made him very uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, Huo Guang stared at Huo Xian and asked, "Tell me! Tell me everything! I want to see what good things you, a poisonous woman, have done!"

In Huo Guang's heart, there are many things that he values ​​​​and they are arranged in order.

The first one is the power in one's hands, the second one is one's own reputation, then the Huo family's continuity, then the reputation of his brother Huo Qubing... and finally the family members.

Among the relatives, Huo Yu was ranked first, followed by Huo Chengjun who entered the palace, and the remaining daughters and sons-in-law were ranked in the back according to their official positions... and finally Huo Xian.

Huo Yu's rebellion and Huo Xian's regicide will completely collapse other things that Huo Guang values: but Huo Yu is Huo Guang's only bloodline after all, and no matter what he does, Huo Guang can only tolerate it.

But Huo Xian was different. He was not that important in Huo Guang's heart.

In the final analysis, Huo Guang, like Emperor Xiaowu, was both unkind and unjust, especially towards women.

A few days ago, she regarded Huo Xian as her perfect match, but now she is acting like a poisonous woman, not caring about her old feelings at all.

Huo Xian smiled sadly and whispered in Huo Guang's ear in the softest voice.

"My concubine has known about Yu'er's rebellion a few years ago, and their rebellion is all to help you ascend to the throne of emperor!"

"You asked me a few days ago how many servants there are in the Huo family. It's not just tens of millions. There are actually [-] million. Most of them are obtained through corruption. My husband is the first rich man among the big men!"

"As for the poisoning of Emperor Xiaozhao, it was the concubine and Chunyu Yan who did it, so that Chengjun could marry the new emperor and become the queen."

"And Madam... she also died after drinking the medicine I gave her."

Huo Xian spoke extremely calmly, as gently as if he could turn hundreds of steel into softness around the fingers, but the mockery in her eyes became stronger and stronger.

Every time she said a word, there was a sense of pleasure that made her intoxicated!
But Huo Guang gritted his teeth, making a horrifying sound as his teeth rubbed together, as if he was about to bite off Huo's exposed white neck.

But in the end, Huo Guang did nothing. He just squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Poisonous woman!"

The snow was falling heavier and heavier. Huo Xian was half-kneeling on the ground with nothing to cover him. His robe was already covered with snowflakes, making him look even more pitiful.After Huo Guang squeezed out those two words from his mouth, he never looked at Huo Xian who was lying on the ground.

He stood up straight, turned his gaze to Huang Ba outside the courtyard gate, and said lightly: "Huang Gong, please take Zhuo Jing away."

At this point, Huo Guang finally confessed in his heart. Stopping Huang Ba would only make his sins worse.

Huang Ba walked back into the courtyard, saluted Huo Guang, and gave orders to the swordsman behind him.

Two strong chiefs immediately stepped forward and mercilessly pulled Huo Xian up from the ground.

When they were about to take Huo Xian out, Huo Guang sighed and said: "Huang Gong, please show mercy."

Huang Ba didn't hear the argument between Huo Xian and Huo Guang just now. He just thought that Huo Guang had accepted his fate, so he said righteously: "General, don't worry, I will deal with it impartially!"

Huo Guang nodded, looked at Huo Xian again, and glanced at him.

Huo Xian seemed to be more awake, not as crazy and vicious as before, but he didn't have too many expressions.

In the end, Huo Xian only saluted Huo Guang and walked out of the middle residence under the hostage of Shi Chang.

"The general has to wait in the side room, and the subordinate officer wants to go in and search!"

Huo Guang did not argue, but quietly walked to the couch under the eaves of the side house and sat down quietly.

He closed his eyes slightly and said nothing, as if what happened in the house and the scene in front of him had nothing to do with him anymore.

Huang Ba gave orders to the swordsmen and the officials of Tingwei Temple who were waiting outside the courtyard. Dozens of people filed in and rushed to Huo Guang and Huo Xian's bedroom...

Under Huo Guang's eyes, Huang Ba and others began to ransack their homes.

Under the covering of the nest, how can there be no eggs.

No matter how respected the position of the Great Sima General is, without the protection and reliance of the imperial power, he is nothing more than fish on the chopping board.

Dozens of officials from Tingwei Temple, plus more than a hundred swordsmen and halberd warriors, were immediately busy in the huge Huo house.

Huang Ba first ordered all the slaves of the Huo family to be sent to prison, leaving only a lame old slave to serve Huo Guang who stayed in the middle residence.

Then, they moved all the papers, silks, bamboo slips and wooden slips to Huo Guang's study for sealing, and sent heavy troops to guard them, checking and checking them one by one.

As for the fine gold, silver, land deeds, house deeds, and various rare treasures, they simply cannot be transported at the moment. They can only be temporarily sealed in various places, affixed with seals, and slowly liquidated and registered.

For the rest of the day, Huang Ba and his people were busy until Haishi, and the search for the Huo family was just the beginning.

After that, counting the property, calculating the household, interrogating the slaves, and surveying the documents became a huge project.

At that time, Huang Ba walked around the back house with a few close officials, and the sweat on his forehead became more and more dense.

He did not expect that there would be so many things to liquidate in Huo Zhai: only some evidence related to the corruption case has been found.

Not to mention other things, the task of surveying documents and accounting is very heavy, and even all the officials from Tingwei Temple cannot be completed.

Although Huang Ba was responsible for the regicide case, the confiscation of the house was also closely related to the rebellion case and the corruption case. Huang Ba's actions were even faster.

Where to find more people?
Huang Ba faced the wind and snow and stood outside Huo Guang's original study for a long time. Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, but he did not leave.

The officials were putting seals on the doors of the courtyard and the house, while the swordsmen and halberd warriors were making a final search to see if anyone in the back house dared to hide.

Under the cover of the sound of wind and falling snow, the general's back house felt quiet and lonely like never before.

The lights were still on as usual, but there was no warmth, only coldness.

A few months ago, this place was packed with guests, but now it is lifeless.

Finally, the door of Huo Guang's study was locked with a heavy iron chain. When the "clang" sound came, Huang Ba finally had an idea.

He thought about where to find such a group of reliable people to help him.

"Come here!" Huang Ba shouted loudly in the night.

An official from Tingwei Temple ran over immediately and waited in front of Huang Ba.

"Have you checked everything inside and out?" Huang Ba asked.

"The swordsman just searched all the corners again, and no one else was found."

"How much gold and silver property have been counted and registered?"

"About [-]%, the rest have been sealed and registered, and sealed." the official replied.

"All paperwork?"

"They are all in Huo Guang's study, and a seal has been added." The subordinate officer continued to say eloquently.

Today, when Huang Ba captured Huo Xian, Chunyu Yan and her two grandchildren in the house were also captured, and her husband and family members were also taken to Yeting Prison.

Although a clue has not yet been completely figured out, the most important witnesses and physical evidence have been fixed, and the truth will be revealed within three to five days.

"How many people are left in Zhongdi?"

"twenty!"

"It's not enough. Increase it to thirty. His Majesty said that Huo Guang should not be left alone. If..."

"If Huo Guang commits suicide out of fear of crime, we will all die to apologize!"

"Wei! Increase the number to 30 people immediately!" the subordinate officer immediately replied.

"Swordsmen and halberd warriors are arranged everywhere in the courtyard. Anyone who enters or exits Huo's house must be carefully searched. Anyone found caught, no matter what, will be killed without mercy!"

"only!"

Huang Ba finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the officer's crisp answer. After explaining some more trivial matters, Huang Ba hurriedly left Huo's house in a carriage.

He is not going to Weiyang Palace, but to visit the Imperial Academy Ling Wang Shi - his doctoral officers and imperial students are Huang Ba's available troops.

Huo Guang didn't value literature, and he himself was not very knowledgeable, so he never thought of letting his nephews enter the Imperial Academy.

Ever since, this imperial student has become a clean stream in Chang'an city that has not been stained by the Huo Party.

With strong character, general knowledge, good arithmetic, and good writing skills, the student from Taipei University was exactly the person Huang Ba wanted to borrow.

And Taixue Ling Wang Shi was the king's tutor when the emperor was the king of Changyi. He was very trusted and the emperor would not stop him even if he wanted to.

Things that could not be handled by dozens of Tingwei Temple officials would become much easier with hundreds of Tai students.

After running around for a day, Huang Ba finally took a break in the car.

……

And on this day, the lively place was not just the Huo residence?

Other places in Chang'an City are also extremely lively - but this liveliness is not always pleasant.
