Originally, Han You was planning to come here to establish friendship and see if he could learn more about his father's past. Unexpectedly, he would get something unexpected.
"Brother."
Han You adjusted his facial expression and stood up from his seat, patting Xu Wenjin's gray-haired head gently with a look of doting on his face.
"Actually, I heard my father mention you."
"really?!"
Xu Wenjin started to get excited again: "Shibo really mentioned Yudi?"
"Um."
Han You sat next to Xu Wenjin, looking sighing and sighing: "Do you know why my father, your uncle, came to Beijing and became the Jingzhao Mansion, and he stopped walking with your Huang Mansion?"
Xu Wenjin blushed: "My father is quite controversial."
"No, no, no."
Han You raised his head and sighed: "I'm afraid it will harm your Huang family. After all, my father has a bad reputation."
"How is this possible? Is there anyone in Beijing with a worse reputation than my father?"
"It's nothing to have a bad reputation. You are still young, and some...well, you are young, so you may not understand some things. When my father came to Beijing to seize the palace, you know, whether this is a merit or a fault has not been finalized yet. , Ordinary people, all go around my father. If it’s a merit, that’s fine, but if it’s a fault, if it’s a fault, one day..."
Speaking of this, Han You lowered his voice: "If one day, the emperor feels that my father's entry into the capital to seize the palace is wrong, and starts to settle old scores, and my father is close to your Huang Mansion, then your Huang Mansion will be implicated."
Xu Wenjin's expression changed slightly, and then his pupils shrank like needlepoints. The next second, he cried "Wow" and patted his thighs while crying, which shocked Han You.
"Shibo, Shibo, Shibo, Shibo, my good Shibo, wuwuwu..."
Xu Wenjin's tears fell in clusters. After patting her thighs, she clutched her chest: "Why bother? Why bother? My Xu family's lives were all saved by Uncle Shi. Don't talk about rumors. So what if he is really implicated, Shibo has good intentions and good intentions."
Han You was stunned again: "You wait a moment before howling. You just said that my father saved the lives of your Xu family. What do you mean?"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much..."
Xu Wenjin cried like a giant baby, bursting into tears, and told the whole story intermittently.
"In the autumn of the third year of Longsheng, a bandit leader named Dumu Tianwang occupied Qiongzhou. He burned, killed, and looted in the city. It was Shibo... wuwuwu, it was Shibo who single-handedly entered Qiongzhou City and solved the bandit rebellion in Qiongzhou with one man's power. , otherwise, not to mention my Xu family, even the Zhou family, a big family in Qiongzhou, will be wiped out, Shibo, my good Shibo, woo woo woo."
"The Zhou family, a wealthy family in Qiongzhou, are you talking about the family of Mr. Zhou Zhenghuai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"Yeah, hey."
Xu Wenjin wiped his tears and sighed: "If my father hadn't told me that the knight-errant was the uncle who went to Qiongzhou to visit my aunt's grave, how would the Xu family know that the savior was actually uncle Shi?"
Han You suddenly realized that no wonder seeing him in such a big mansion was like seeing his biological father. It turned out that it was his biological father who saved the entire Xu family.
In addition, Zhou Zhenghuai's hometown is also in Qiongzhou. If his father hadn't entered the city and killed everyone, the Zhou family would have been wiped out.
"No!"
Xu Wenjin stopped crying, with a look of determination on his face: "Tomorrow, my foolish brother will spread the word. Our Xu family, our Huang family, and the Han family share weal and woe. If anyone provokes the Han family, our Xu family, and our Huang family will be at odds with him!" "
Han You was waiting for this sentence, and he took advantage of the opportunity and said: "That's not necessary, but there are people in Beijing who really want to put my Han family to death."
"Who!" Xu Wenjin's face was full of sternness: "Who has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"
"Wu Yong, young minister of Honglu Temple."
"It's him!"
Xu Wenjin's expression froze, he lowered his head and fell silent.
Han You frowned slightly. After waiting for a while, he still lowered his head and said nothing when he saw this guy. He cursed Ma Le Gobi secretly. It turned out that he was just a talker.
"never mind."
Han You was not someone who pinned all his hopes on others. He said angrily: "Handle your own affairs by yourself. You don't need to make things difficult for the Huang family. Brother Xian... No, Mr. Xu, please tell me about Wu Yong."
Xu Wenjin remained silent, just lowering his head.
"Damn, you don't even want to say it?"
Han You kicked Xu Wenjin's calf with his toe: "What are you thinking about? What kind of background does Wu Yong have that even you, the official minister, are afraid of you?"
"ah?"
Xu Wenjin raised his head numbly and sneered: "Brother, you are laughing, my foolish brother was thinking about something just now."
"What's up?"
"Brother Yu is thinking about how to go faster."
"quick?"
"Not bad!" Xu Wenjin slapped the table and sneered: "Should I bring all my family members into the Wu family's mansion and hack Wu Yong to death, or should I go to court tomorrow to impeach him, impeach him to death, and remonstrate him to death in the court tomorrow? He and Yudi must die together!!!"
Han You: "..."
Xu Wenjin turned his head: "Brother Shi, I think which one is faster? When I think of this bastard who dares to insult the Han family, Brother Yu is filled with rage and wants to eat Wu Yong alive!"
Han You looked at Xu Wenjin closely. After looking at it for a long time, he finally confirmed that this guy was sincere and wanted to fight Wu Yong to the death for the Han family.
But Han You couldn't figure it out. He couldn't understand that the other party had become a high-ranking official. Would an official of this level really be "motivated" and fight other officials to the death because of the so-called life-saving grace?
In fact, it is not Xu Wenjin who is acting on his own initiative, but all the Xu family members in Beijing who are acting on their own initiative!
Qiongzhou is a big family of the Xu family, and the Zhou family can be said to be the two largest wealthy families in Qiongzhou City.
The bandit leader who calls himself the One-Eyed King doesn't care about any wealthy family.
Before the rebellion, I was oppressed by the aristocratic family. After the rebellion, it depends on the face of your aristocratic family. Didn't I rebel in vain? It was the aristocratic family that did it!
After the rebels rushed into the city, they captured the Zhou and Xu families, a total of 176 people, and tied them up tightly outside the Zhizhou Mansion.
The One-Eyed King did not kill, but tortured. He carried a big sword and chopped down the Zhou and Xu families like a madman.
Zhou Zhenghuai was not present at that time, but the current Xu family in Beijing, including Xu Wenjin, were all those who experienced that incident firsthand.
Xu Wenjin, including his mother and other Xu family children, have never been so helpless.
Begging, crying, and struggling, under the watchful eyes of thousands of anti-citizens, their voices became hoarse and their foreheads bled. Many of the female family members were humiliated in public and could not even beg to die.
Not to mention other people, just Xu Wenjin, he cursed, shouted, begged for mercy, cried, knelt on the ground and was humiliated in every possible way by the One-Eyed King. He just begged the bandit leader to let his two sisters and all the female relatives go. Unfortunately, Xu Wenjin, then the magistrate of the state, did not win anyone's sympathy.
Seeing that all the female family members were about to be humiliated in public, a knight rushed from the south of the city. The man on the horse was wearing cloth, but the horse had a harness hanging on his crotch. Apart from the four hooves, only a pair of big black eyes were exposed.
One person and one knight were covered in blood. The knights held halberds and rushed into the front of the magistrate's mansion.
Xu Wenjin will never forget that day, and his blood boils every time he thinks about it.
Wherever the knight passed, there were stumps of limbs and broken arms, and there was no enemy left or right. Every time the halberd was swung, countless bodies were disemboweled, with blood and spleens flying all over the sky. It was extremely horrifying.
There were thousands of people in front of Zhizhou Prefecture, including ordinary people and rioters. Ordinary people had never seen such a scene and were so scared that they were pissed off.
The one-eyed bandit leader who was said to be born with divine power wanted to step forward to intercept him, but he was stabbed through the chest as soon as he met him. Before he could die, he was hung high on a big halberd and kept struggling.
The halberd was waved again, and the One-eyed King was thrown onto the carriage. The carriage was broken into pieces, and the body was almost broken. The death was extremely tragic.
From the beginning to the end, the knight, who was covered in blood and whose appearance could not be seen clearly, shouted one sentence: Within ten breaths, anyone who is not from Qiongzhou will die in the city!
With the word "death", just one person, one horse, and a big halberd forced thousands of rebels to run out of Qiongzhou City.
After the children of several wealthy families in Qiongzhou broke free, they found that as the rioters ran out of the city, their saviors were nowhere to be found.
It was not until Huang Youwei later became the son-in-law of the Xu family that Xu Wenjin and others knew that the knight back then was Han Bairen.
The scene of that day has never been forgotten by Xu Wenjin, it is vivid in his mind, so he will fight to the death with any official in the court for the Han family, even if they both die together!
Because without Han Bairen, Xu Wenjin and his relatives would have died in Qiongzhou many years ago, and they would have been subjected to all kinds of humiliation and torture before their death.
"Brother Shi."
Xu Wenjin's eyes were burning: "Tonight, you and I will drink three hundred cups. After the banquet, we will rest in the house. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to court, and I will meet Wu Yong in the court hall..."
Before he finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from outside the main hall.
The real master, Huang Youwei, is back.
