"Oh! Dangze, Dangze, I have no intention of harming you, but I can't disobey my command! Dan'er, this matter is really difficult. If it were your hands, even though a drop of blood would not touch my body, it would be difficult for me to go into the night from now on. Sleep peacefully! Today, I am ordered to seize the river; if someone wants to leave something on my head some day or night, can you do it?"
Hua Xi's worries are not unreasonable. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. In the capricious battle for the throne, they, who are ministers and scholars, are always walking on thin ice. They don't know whether today's "loyalty" will turn into tomorrow's "fault". The most lamentable thing is that often, They must be attached to their family, their lives, and even the life and death of the entire clan.
"My uncle is overly concerned. Even though I often take large amounts of money as pledges to take people's lives, I am not a person with no bottom line: I can still judge benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and treachery clearly! You are loyal and trustworthy, and you are always the target of Dan." , there is no reason to hide one's eyes and kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Wang Dan's frank confession comforted Hua Xi a little. He then raised his eyes and stared at Wang Dan and said, "That's fine! This matter is entrusted to you. The order written by Hua Yuan's right master , you want me to kill Dangze together with Master Gongsun Sicheng, and Master Yu Shi will also supervise and help. I will write to Master Gongsun and ask him to discuss with you."
"Do I have to cooperate with others? Just tell Dangze whereabouts and I will act alone." Wang Dan is used to working alone. Suddenly he was asked to join forces with a stranger. It was not that he couldn't believe it, but that he was really not used to it. This kind of relationship is also very inefficient for him.
"Master Sicheng has control over buildings and land, so he can naturally provide you with the greatest convenience for your movements. Even if you are good at running on beams, you still have to know that the Bintiao route is the closest and safest, right?"
While Hua Xi was brushing up his book, he explained to Wang Dan the importance of this "geographical positioning".
"So according to what you said, Dan'er is arrogant."
Wang Dan collected the letter and made a promise to Hua Xibaoquan: "When I deliver Sima Dangze's head to you, please ask uncle to rest in peace! Dan'er resigns!"
"Wait a minute! If you help me complete this, I promise to help you with something. You can go back and think about it first."
Hua Xi suddenly said this, knowing that this order was one of Wang Dan's old jobs - since he was hired as a killer, the fee would always be paid, but this time it depends on what Wang Dan asked for. what.
"Okay, after the matter is done, it's not too late to think about it. You are my uncle, so naturally I don't worry about you defaulting on the debt, haha! If there is nothing else, Dan'er is gone!"
Wang Dan still flew up to the roof beam out of thin air, pulled out the special steel skewer inserted into the beam, threw it back again, inserted it gently into the table, and then came and went again, walking his "gentleman on the beam" The expressway disappeared from the rooftops of the Situ Mansion.
Three days later, there was a cry of mourning in Sima's house.
News came out: An assassin sneaked into Sima Mansion at night and sent Dangze to death in his last dream. When he got up that morning, when he was discovered by the waiter, there was only a fat body left, slumped on the bed. Only the fat head disappeared. There was no shortage of other things; pillows and quilts were all missing. Continuously, apparently he walked suddenly and quietly without any struggle.
Before the Dangze family could recover from the pain, the Sima Mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers: Hua Xi and Gongsun Shi appeared outside the mansion with the head that "disappeared out of thin air", read out the emperor's imperial edict, and reprimanded Dangze committed the serious crime of killing Young Master Fei. This time, he was sentenced to death without any punishment. He was given a light life. He asked all the soldiers in the Sima Mansion to listen to the orders of Hua Yuan's right division, and all members of Dangze's family, regardless of seniority, were ordered to do so. Young ones, no one will be left alive, all will be sent to prison and will be sentenced at a later date.
When the members of the Dangze family were marched out of the Sima Mansion in shackles by officers and soldiers, and when they passed the wooden box containing Dangze's head, they all stamped their feet and cried, especially Mrs. Sima, when she saw the fat head. When his head was shaking, he was even more sad and uncontrollable. While crying, he opened his eyes wide, turned to stare at Hua Xi and shouted sharply:
"Master Situ! Look! This is where you live! Hahaha——"
This string of words filled with sadness, hatred, and inexplicable laughter deeply stimulated Hua Xi's spirit. He couldn't help lowering his eyelids, not daring to look at Mrs. Sima again, and wishing that he could cover his ears and not listen. These sharp curses penetrated my mind.
But he couldn't. He could only look at the soldier who was escorting the "criminals". The soldier immediately received the signal and immediately stepped forward and hit the "crazy" woman with the hilt of his sword. He dragged her forward hard and yelled harder: "Shut up! Crazy girl! Hurry up! Hurry!"
Hua Xi was disturbed by Mrs. Dangze's howling. He could not sleep peacefully for several days and was always awakened by nightmares. Therefore, when he gave the report to Hua Yuan's right division on killing Dangze, he gave all the credit to Division Gongsun of Sicheng, intending to weaken his own ability to act, not to mention that he did not want to expose Wang Dan, who was the greater contributor to the completion of the matter. .
"Leave a fine line in everything so that we can meet again in the future!"
Hua Xi has been dealing with personnel affairs for many years, and has never been forced to do such a big thing, such as depriving Sima of his military power. He is afraid again and again, for fear that Sima's position, really, will be ordered to sit next to him.
What's more, Hua Xi also firmly believes that people will meet again after death. If he and Dangze meet again at that time, how should he face him?
Wang Dan didn't believe this. He only believed in what he could see and grasp. When he saw Uncle Hua Xi secretly burning incense and mumbling words in his study every day, he guessed that he was thinking about Dangze who hadn't drifted away yet. Soul for psychological comfort.
"Uncle, you don't need to worry about it. The matter is over. I took his life. Even if he comes to argue with me, he will come after me. Why should you be so uneasy? Dan'er will bear it for you, no matter life or death."
Hearing Wang Dan's persuasion, Hua Xi was relieved a little, nodded, and then asked: "Dan'er is kind, and it's because I trapped you in the dark. Now that it's done, have you figured out what you want?" "
Wang Dan thought for a moment and said, "I had a son named Zhen from Yangliu'er and I. Unfortunately, he was separated and now lives in Zheng. He was bought by Dr. Pei Chen's family. I want to recognize him, but I don't know if my uncle can do anything about it."
"Master Zheng Guo Chen! Although the Song State and the Zheng State are neighbors, our country pursues independence and will never ally with other countries. Within the Song State, I can still achieve one or two things; but if I go to other countries, especially Zheng Guo, you know: Although Zheng Guo is small, it is highly respected by Jin and Chu. My position has no public relations with Zheng; privately, I have no communication with Dr. Bi Chen. In such a situation, I am afraid that I will directly intervene. It's hard to get Zi Zhen back for you. It's hard to reach the sky. Let me think about it for a moment and see if there are any other ways."
Hua Xi really didn't have much to do with the Zheng State: after all, although the Zheng State and the Song State were both small countries, they lived a "really decent" life; while the Song State lived a life that they thought they were "very respectable". Have a face".
Let him lower his head and go to the people of Zheng to ask for help. Then he has to ask others for help. How can it be so convenient to ask people for help? He has been engaged in human affairs all day long, and has seen too much about the long and short distances of "political affairs". He has many things to think about, which is also due to his professional habits.
