Han You put away his cynicism and looked at Beimen Yuyong up and down like an interviewer.
"All right."
For the sake of his aunt, Han You relented.
An ancient woman who had been married twice could be said to be a miserable woman. In addition, her husband was now bedridden, not only miserable but also miserable. How could Han You not be soft-hearted?
"I have never heard of you, and I am not sure whether you are Lord Shentu Gang's person."
Han You snapped his fingers: "We'll see you tomorrow morning at Chenshi. Tonight, I will send someone to find out your details. As for you, stay in Jingzhao Mansion tonight. Many people are imprisoned in Houya Prison. People from the Liu family, go Finish the things I haven’t finished yet.”
There was no unnecessary expression on Beimen Yuyong's face, and he cupped his hands: "See you tomorrow, Chenshi."
"See you in time."
Han You just left and whistled outside the court. Wang Hai emerged from the grass. He had a good harvest tonight and caught more than 20 cicada monkeys.
Looking at Han You's back, Beimen Yuyong breathed a sigh of relief, as he had a chance to prove himself.
He knew what Han You wanted and how to deal with the Liu family. This kind of thing was easy for him.
The smiling Beimen Yuyong walked towards the Houya dungeon, but when he was almost there, he suddenly realized something, something that confused him.
No, according to the script, I am not only a fourth-rank official in the Shangshu Province, but also a relative and confidant of Shen Tugang. Why am I suddenly so "passive"?
Shouldn't this guy be flattered if he, a fourth-rank official, calls him "Brother Han"?
Shouldn't this guy named Han be eager to help him?
Shouldn't he slowly take the lead in this matter, with himself as the main one and Han You as the assistant?
Shouldn't Han You just use some means to make Han You obey him?
This...why is it like you are rushing to be the other party's little brother?
Nothing has been discussed. I still have to stay up late to interrogate the Liu family. The most important thing is that I feel quite happy now. I am relieved. The other party may give me a chance to prove it. Isn't this mean?
Recalling Han You's commanding appearance just now, Beimen Yuyong, who had always been proud, suddenly felt humiliated, and his face was dark with shame and anger.
"Who am I?"
Beimen Yuyong, who was standing at the door of the dungeon, was angry and filled with rage.
Then, he rushed into the dungeon to vent his anger on the Liu family.
…………
As for Han You, after returning to Han Mansion, he found Wang Shan and whispered in the back garden.
Han You asked: "Have you found out clearly why the emperor and his ministers suddenly wanted to kill Wu Yong today?"
"I've asked. In the early morning, Huang Youwei was so stupid as to question the Ministry of Punishment. He seemed to want to plead for Wu Yong and ask the Ministry of Punishment to clear Wu Yong's name. In the end, I don't know how it happened. The Ministry of Punishment said that Wu Yong should be the one responsible for Fanman's arson. Got the accounts."
"Begging for mercy for Wu Yong?"
A look of confusion flashed across Han You's face, and he looked thoughtful, then smiled after a while.
"Don't scold General Huang in the future, he is not a bitch."
"What's not a dog day?"
Wang Shan angrily said: "You know clearly that our Han family and the Wu family are incompatible, yet you still plead for Wu Yong in the court."
"That's what's interesting."
Han You smiled half-heartedly: "We don't think about the cause or the process. We first look at the result. What is the result."
Wang Shan thought thoughtfully: "Wu Yong was taken to prison."
"Yes, the result is that Wu Yong finished Kumba Dan, so the process is just a means, and the cause is the motive. If the result is not consistent with the apparent motive, then there is only one possibility."
Wang Shan suddenly realized: "General Huang forced the Ministry of Justice to make a conclusion in the court?!"
"That's right. General Huang is a man who can get along well and will do whatever he needs to do."
Han You knocked on the table and mentioned another matter: "Have you ever heard of Beimen Yuyong?"
"No."
Wang Shan shook his head. After all, he had only been in Beijing for a short period of time, and Beimen Yuyong was not a person who stirred up troubles in the court. He had little exposure, so it was normal that he had not heard of him.
"That's just right. You go to the Huang Mansion and buy some good wine to send over. Then ask General Huang about Beimen Yuyong. He has been in Beijing for so many years, so he should know."
"If General Huang asks why he wants to ask Beimen Yuyong, what should he say?"
"He won't ask, because when he mentioned the name, General Huang was able to guess the cause and effect."
"Why?"
"The servants in other mansions will try their best to understand the master's preferences and personality. The subordinate officials in the court will also inquire about the life and taboos of the superior. The Minister of War is a high official in the court, how could he not inquire about the Prime Minister? , if it is true as the little fat man said, General Huang must know this person, and he must know why this person came to me, and he also knows that His Majesty and the Prime Minister want to attack the Ma family."
"this…"
Wang Shan's expression moved slightly: "Young Master, didn't His Majesty and Shen Tu Gang ask you to keep the Ma family's affairs a secret?"
"That's right, we didn't leak the secret. Mr. Huang guessed it himself."
"But young master, we have already mentioned Beimen Yuyong. In my opinion, we should find someone to ask about Beimen Yuyong."
"This is called reciprocity. We can't let General Huang help us kill Wu Yong in vain, right?"
Wang Shan raised his eyebrows, a little confused, and at the same time found that his young master was becoming more and more difficult to understand.
After opening his mouth, Wang Shan did not continue to ask. He was afraid that if he continued to ask, he would look stupid and insult his image as the number one think tank in the Han family.
"I understand, let's go."
After nodding, Wang Shan left with a solemn expression on his face that showed that I didn't understand but I pretended to understand and others could see at a glance that he didn't understand at all.
Before Beimen Yuyong's matter could be understood, Menzi ran over and said that Lu Baichuan, the imperial guard in the palace, wanted to see him.
Han You asked angrily: "Your Majesty is looking for me again?"
"No, the civilian clothes he is wearing are not the uniform of a guard. He is alone."
"Oh?" Han You nodded and asked the disciple to bring Lu Baichuan in.
A moment later, classmate Baichuan arrived. After passing through the Moon Gate, he stared directly at Han You with a pair of eyes, carrying a baggage on his back.
Before Han You could ask, Lu Baichuan's face was full of excitement: "Guess brother, why I came to look for you late at night."
Han You didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Elope with me."
"Why did I run away with you?"
"Then why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"
"I will stay with you forever."
Han You: "..."
Lu Baichuan laughed: "His Majesty asked me to stay close to you."
"Personal contact?" Han You leaned back slightly with a strange look on his face: "I don't want to be attached to you."
"Your Majesty said that the Ma family is ruthless and will inevitably take revenge on you if the matter is exposed. Your Majesty ordered me to stay with you and protect your life."
"That's it."
Han You felt warm in his heart and scratched his chin: "I remember your rank in the palace was from the eighth rank to General Ya."
"good."
"The imperial guards all have grades, starting from the eighth grade to the lowest."
Lu Baichuan was unhappy: "What are you talking about? Although my rank is low, brother, my martial arts skills are very strong. Brother, I will protect you. Five or six people will not be able to get close to you."
"What about the seven or eight people?"
"Seven or eight..." Lu Baichuan thought for a while: "For the remaining one or two, you need to find a way on your own."
Han You rolled his eyes, said nothing more, and asked Wang Hai to clean up a side room for Lu Baichuan. Baichuan was cheerful and seemed to like this job very much.
As soon as the two left, Han You called Uncle Qin and whispered: "Go after Wang Shan. He will buy wine and send it to the Huang Mansion. Ask Wang Shan to find General Huang again and inquire about the palace guard Lu Baichuan." Ask if you have heard of it.”
Uncle Qin didn't talk so much nonsense. He always handled things neatly. He talked to Lao Zhou, the most trustworthy person, and told him to go to Wangshan in a hurry.
Han You sighed.
Uncle Qin is good, he never talks nonsense, but he is a bit old and his brain may not work very well.
Dunima said that he was chasing people very fast, and Lao Zhou was missing half of his legs. How could he catch up?
Sitting back on the stone bench, Han You hesitated for a while, but still did not go to the side room to find Lu Baichuan.
He dare not say that he is a smart person, but he also feels that he is not stupid.
Several times in a row, Boss Zhou asked Lu Baichuan to take him to the palace.
In addition, Lu Baichuan can always give some "news" about what the emperor is doing or why the emperor is looking for him.
If they were ordinary guards, they would keep silent even if the information was insignificant.
Han You knew that Boss Zhou must care about him, so he asked Lu Baichuan to come out of the palace to protect him.
This is understandable, but what I don't understand is why it is Lu Baichuan who is just a mere general, a "little person" who looks stupid and has no intentions and can easily win the trust of others?
