"Despicable and shameless, you are a thief and I will never let you go..."
Faced with Xiao Saihong's angry curse after he fell off the horse, another wave of crossbow arrows were fired, and there was no sound anymore.
Seeing that his wife, a princess who was extremely skilled in martial arts, died instantly, Hu Yanshouyong didn't even react and felt a little unbelievable.
Just die?
He felt a pain in his heart and suddenly looked up at Cao Bin. He was about to question, but saw the other party staring at him eagerly.
He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. The horse involuntarily took two steps back and said bravely:
"Marquis Zhongjing, since she has been defeated, you... why do you still kill her?"
This guy is so ruthless. How can he say that his wife is also a minister in the same palace as him? Madam Gao Juhou, I didn't expect that he didn't have the slightest scruple and killed him as soon as he asked.
Cao Bin did not respond to Hu Yanshouyong, but asked coldly:
"Hu Yanshouyong, do you and your wife want to conspire to assassinate me?"
In fact, Cao Bin was a little confused about how to deal with Hu Yanshouyong. After all, the Hu family was also known as Zhongliang in later generations, and he once had a good impression in his heart.
Even if the emperor ordered to encircle and suppress the Hu family, he was unwilling to participate.
But now that the grudge has been forged, if Hu Yanshouyong insists on avenging his wife, then Cao Bin will not show mercy and will just come and eradicate it.
Hearing Cao Bin's aggressive and malicious questions, Hu Yanshouyong felt guilty, the muscles on his handsome face jumped twice, and he quickly defended:
"Hou Zhongjing, please don't misunderstand me. Saihong was impulsive. The general will never dare to have such thoughts."
Facing Cao Bin's eyes full of murderous intent, Hu Yanshou's "last general" appeared.
At this time, Wang Yanling also hurriedly stepped out of the carriage and advised:
"Marquis Zhongjing, it's okay for Xiao Saihong to be rude in the first place. Shouyong is a loyal man and has no intention of harming you. I can testify to this."
"Never kill the wrong good person."
Although he knew that Wang Yanling was protecting herself, seeing that he directly accepted the result of Xiao Saihong's murder without even asking, Hu Yanshou's teeth were cold and his heart was filled with chills.
If Cao Bin could find a reason to kill Xiao Saihong directly without going through the court, he would naturally be able to find a reason to kill himself in the future.
For a moment, he even doubted whether he was right to return to the Song Dynasty, and actually had the urge to resign and go into seclusion.
In fact, Wang Yanling was also helpless. Who told Xiao Saihong to be so impulsive and get caught by Cao Bin? Even if he goes to court, Cao Bin will not suffer much loss.
On the contrary, he might be implicated by Xiao Saihong, provoking a conspiracy colleague, and eliminating the suspicion of dissidents. After all, he was the one who brought Xiao Saihong here.
For the sake of reputation, he had to minimize the big things and didn't even want to pursue the matter where he was almost shot to death...
Seeing this, Cao Bin glanced at Hu Yanshouyong and coldly snorted:
"It better be so!"
Hu Yanshou showed such forbearance that Cao Bin couldn't take action directly. Although it was a pity, it also eliminated a little entanglement in his heart.
If you don't want to kill, don't kill him. If you are sure that he wants revenge, it will not be too late to kill him.
Seeing that Cao Bin had restrained his murderous intent and was no longer messing around, Wang Yanling also breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Taijun She with a grimace and said:
"Old lady, I know that your Yang family has been wronged, but we can discuss it slowly. Why should you resign and leave Beijing if you don't agree?"
"If hundreds of officials are impeached, I won't be able to change the world for you."
Taijun She didn't even get off the carriage and said with a cold face:
"I won't trouble Prime Minister Wang to worry about my Yang family's affairs."
After saying that, Mu Guiying, who was waiting on the side, lowered the car curtain directly, and Wang Yanling was rejected.
Cao Bin saw this and said:
"Prime Minister, it's up to the public to decide what is right and what is wrong, but I don't believe that all the fault for Shanxi's defeat lies with the Yang family."
"After returning to Beijing, Cao will ask the Queen Mother to investigate the matter in detail. No one in Shanxi or even the entire court wants to stay out of the matter!"
After saying that, he ignored Wang Yanling, kicked his stirrup, and said to the female general of the Yang family beside him:
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Sister Yang quickly drove her horse to follow. She looked back at Wang Yanling and others and said:
"It's really a relief. It's a pity that we can't kill all these people. It's disgusting to watch!"
The female generals were speechless. Only with the support of Cao Bin could they kill Xiao Saihong. Otherwise, you wouldn't even dare to kill Xiao Saihong's son casually.
Taijun She taught him a lesson:
"Now I have avenged Zongbao. For the rest, just listen to Juncai and don't be too bloodthirsty!"
Since Xiao Saihong's death, She Taijun became more convinced of Cao Bin and suddenly realized that he was too self-righteous in the past.
Although many of Cao Bin's past actions seemed absurd, they did not harm the country or the people. On the contrary, they often had unexpected effects. Everywhere he went, he must have made achievements.
This is something I can't do no matter what, and I can't even comprehend it...
Watching Cao Bin and everyone in the Yang family leave, Wang Yanling's expression became even more bitter.
This kid Cao Bin didn't come back sooner or later, but he came back at this time. It seemed that the perfect situation he had created was going to go through twists and turns again.
However, Pan Renmei still hindered this matter, and it was not easy for Cao Bin to support the Yang family.
At this moment, Hu Yanshouyong, who was gathering the body, suddenly said with red eyes:
"Prime Minister, this general has little virtue and knowledge. He is really not qualified for the position of commander in front of the palace. I want to resign from this position."
He had been frightened just now. Instead of being frightened with military power and being worried about Cao Bin, it was better to hold on to his title and live a good life.
When Wang Yanling heard this, his face darkened and he reprimanded:
"Don't talk nonsense. It's so easy for your family to rehabilitate your family. Instead of working hard and making achievements, you give up on yourself. Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
It took so much effort to get the position of commander in front of the palace. If Huyan Shouyong backed down, wouldn't it be in vain?
Seeing Hu Yanshou's troubled expression, Wang Yanling said seriously:
"Shou Yong, don't be discouraged. What happened to Sai Hong was caused by her being too reckless. As long as you don't break the court rules, Cao Bin won't dare to mess around."
"Don't worry, I will find a good marriage for you among the nobles in a few days..."
Hu Yanshouyong shook his head quickly and said with some embarrassment:
"Well... I won't bother you, Prime Minister. Shouyong had three wives when he was on the run."
As he spoke, he shed tears again and said:
"I never thought that Sai Hong would die unfortunately... The general plans to bring the mother and son back."
When Wang Yanling heard this, he was immediately speechless.
I thought he was devoted to Xiao Saihong, the princess of the Liao Kingdom, but I didn't expect that he even had a son outside and still married as the principal wife. It's a bit scumbag. Did Cao Bin help you?
But as long as he didn't want to resign, Wang Yanling didn't bother to care about his wife or concubines.
When it got daylight, Cao Bin and others returned to the capital.
At this time, Queen Mother Pan in the palace had just gotten up and was about to wash up, when a confidant of the palace ladies suddenly came in and reported in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial City Secretary has come to report that Marquis Zhongjing returned to Beijing last night and killed the adopted son of the Huyan family and Xiao Saihong."
Queen Mother Pan's eyes suddenly lit up and she said quickly:
"Tell me the details quickly."
The palace maid quickly took out a memorial and said:
"This is what Marquis Cao sent through the Imperial City Department. He said that he had something to discuss with the Queen."
After reading it, Queen Mother Pan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Cao Bin is really good. He suppressed Huyan Shouyong as soon as he came back. Good, good, good!"
Ever since Hu Yanshou became the commander-in-chief of the palace under Wang Yanling's plan, she felt extremely insecure and always felt like a light was on her back. She often complained about Pan Renmei.
However, under the threat of Tian Hu's army at that time, Pan Renmei did not dare to refute Wang Yanling.
Now that Cao Bin is back, she immediately feels relieved and feels happy...
