The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 510 Kill it
Although Zhang Hongrun tried his best to argue, after the seeds of doubt were planted in Liu Huan's heart, it was impossible for Liu Huan to believe Zhang Hongrun again.

Liu Huan stared at Zhang Honghongrun coldly and asked: "You secretly exchanged the wine business with Weining, and he gave you the profit, allowing you to get more money. How do you explain it?"

"What were you worried about before coming here? Please explain it to me."

The first one he could explain was that he didn't even know that the source of the wine business was Weining's. It was just that the other party was cheaper, so he chose to cooperate.

But Zhang Hongrun really didn't know how to explain the second question. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still in the back hall. Who knows if he was listening to the conversation between Liu Huan and himself?

He couldn't tell Liu Huan that he was so nervous and worried before coming because he was afraid that the embezzlement of northwest military expenses would be exposed, right?

If he really said that, I'm afraid Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would kill him.

Zhang Hongrun hesitated for a while and didn't know how to explain it to Liu Huan. He could only say: "Your Highness, believe me. I really didn't deceive you."

Liu Huan looked disappointed and waved, "Go down."

"This...your highness."

Liu Huan yelled: "Get out of here!"

Zhang Hongrun sighed helplessly, then handed over his hands and left the Qilin Hall.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard what was going on outside, but he had only a partial understanding of it, so he called Liu Huan in and asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Huan gritted his teeth and said, "Father, this beast is colluding with Prince Wei."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned and asked: "Elaborate."

He took a sip of tea and listened quietly to Liu Huan's report. After Liu Huan finished speaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at him and asked: "So what are you going to do with Zhang Hongrun?"

Liu Huandao: "Father, are you going to remove him from the central position?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his head and said: "If he really colluded with Prince Wei, do you know what he was planning secretly and how many controls he had?"

Liu Huan said hurriedly: "Then let Qi Bin be arrested by him and let Qi Bin have a good trial."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hummed and said: "This person cannot be kept. If Qi Bin is found out after trial, just kill him."

Liu Huan's face twitched, he had no intention of killing Zhang Hongrun.

There aren't many relatives left in the Chen family, and Liu Huan doesn't have many relatives either, so at least he still has something to think about.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What? Can't bear to leave?"

"This is not the kind of heart a politician should have. Kindness cannot achieve great things."

Liu Huan clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, gritted his teeth and said, "Father! I know, I asked Qi Bin to go on errands."

"Ah."

Liu Huan summoned Qi Bin again and asked Qi Bin to arrest Zhang Hongrun immediately and interrogate him about his collusion with Weining.

……

Zhang Hongrun left Weiyang Palace and looked at the night in Chang'an, feeling a sense of fear lingering in his mind.

He knew Liu Huan too well, he was weak in ability but suspicious by nature.

It's because of his lack of skills that he becomes suspicious.

Now that he has doubted himself, he will not let himself go easily.

What should I do?
Zhang Hongrun took a breath, his face full of worry. It seems that it is not easy to escape from the turbulent political whirlpool of Chang'an. In this case, should we leave Chang'an in advance?

The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Hongrun felt that it should be like this.

After returning home, Zhang Hongrun immediately said to his servants: "Pack your things and prepare to leave Chang'an overnight."

"Here!"

Zhang Hongrun also went to the mansion's warehouse, gathered all his belongings, and prepared to leave Chang'an overnight. Before leaving the palace, Qi Bin quietly came to Weining's east palace.

He didn't know whether the East Palace was safe or whether there would be spies from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he could only be so cautious.

After Wei Ning came out, Qi Bin carefully informed Weining of everything going on in the palace.

Wei Ning nodded and said to Qi Bin: "You have worked hard, I can see your contribution."

Qi Bin shook his head and said: "It's nothing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's kindness to me, I will always remember it in my heart."

"I hope His Highness can succeed. There is not much you can do in a humble position."

Wei Ning smiled and said, "That's enough."

Qi Bin hummed and said, "I'm going to arrest people first."

"it is good!"

The night is getting darker, but Zhang Mansion is still lit like daylight.

Zhang Hongrun had packed up his belongings and was preparing to run away. Several horses and carriages stood quietly outside the mansion, and servants in the mansion kept moving their belongings out.

When the people from the Detective Department surrounded them, everyone was shocked!
Zhang Hongrun was stunned. He really didn't expect someone from the Detective Department to come so soon. He couldn't help but swallowed and looked at Qi Bin blankly.

Qi Bin said coldly: "Where are you going, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Hongrun said hurriedly: "My family misses their hometown, and I plan to send them away."

Qi Bin chuckled and said, "Why are you leaving in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Hongrun swallowed his saliva and asked Qi Bin, "What are you doing here?"

Qi Bin said calmly: "I was ordered to arrest you."

"Zhang Hongrun, are you feeling guilty?"

"Come here! Catch him and send him to the Detective Department Prison!"

Zhang Hongrun said hurriedly: "Don't do this! I want to see His Highness the King of Jiaodong."

Qi Bin said: "Didn't you just meet him? Also, without His Highness's instructions, would you dare to come and arrest our Han Prime Minister?"

As expected, as expected!

Liu Huan! You are so cruel!
Just because of suspicion, you arrested me?

I am loyal to you. How can a person like you achieve great things?

I'm about to be arrested. Who among the people in the court would dare to trust you?
If you can't protect the people under your command, how can others dare to trust you?

idiot! madness!
Zhang Hongrun never thought that Liu Huan would be so stupid. At this moment, no matter what mistakes I make, you should save them!
To put it bluntly, even if you settle the matter in the future, you shouldn’t do it now!

Doing so will only make those bureaucrats who adapt to the changing circumstances distrust you even more!
It's obviously a good opportunity to make connections, but you throw it away alive. It's hard to achieve anything big, it's hard to achieve anything big!
You cannot control this world, and you are not born to be an emperor.

Zhang Hongrun's eyes were red, feeling sad for Liu Huan, and then silently followed Qi Bin towards the Detective Department Prison.

He didn't want to suffer, so Qi Bin asked him what he said, and even though he didn't collude with Wei Ning, he admitted his crime at this time.

Qi Bin nodded and said: "Master Zhang is really a smart man, this way he can avoid the pain of his flesh and blood."

Just when Qi Bin was about to leave, Zhang Hongrun stopped Qi Bin and said, "Master Qi, please help me bring a message to His Highness."

Qi Bin hummed and said, "Tell me."

Zhang Hongrun said: "Excuse me, please tell King Jiaodong to leave Chang'an early. His city is not deep, his methods are not strong, and he cannot do big things!"
