The once arrogant Zhao Congyun and Young Master Zhao in Qiongzhou City were hung on the city wall until the third day, when Han You's patience was completely exhausted, someone from the Zhao family finally came.
What surprised Han You was that the person who came was an acquaintance, Zhao Xiong.
When the miscellaneous soldiers came to report, Han You was discussing with Pei Qi whether they could raid a few more aristocratic families before leaving, even those local squires from Xiaokalami. Anyway, it was reasonable now, no matter how small the mosquitoes were, they were still meat.
When he heard that it was Zhao Xiong who was here, Han You was shocked. He didn't expect that this old guy had also returned to the Southland.
When they arrived at the court, Han You happily sat on the desk, and Zhao Xiong was also brought in.
After receiving the letter, Xiang Lun did not enter the hall. He saw Han You and Zhao Xiong chatting and laughing happily, hiding behind the pillar and licking their teeth.
There is a description in "Three Kingdoms": Zhuo Anjian shouted, "Zhuzi, I want to do the things in the world. Who dares not to obey? You said that Dong Zhuo's sword is not good." Shao said, "Dong Gong is the only one who is strong in the world." So The sword came out with a long bow.
It was said that Dong Zhuo wanted to narrow the emperor to control the princes. This guy was very aggressive with his strong soldiers and horses. Others didn't even dare to fart. Only Yuan Shao said something like "My sword is not bad at all". The general meaning is that everyone is scared, only Yuan Shao Come on, you are a singer. I guess Cao Cao regarded Yuan Shao as his idol at that time.
Ask, why is Yuan Shao so crazy?
Answer: Four generations and three masters.
The fourth generation refers to seniority, and the third generation refers to the official position. With the origins of the fourth generation and the third generation, even Dong Zhuo did not dare to offend easily.
From the previous dynasty to this dynasty, the Zhao family has been an evergreen tree in the political arena. The previous dynasty has produced prime ministers and ministers close to double digits. Will serve as a waiter.
This is why the Zhao family is so powerful. No family in the country dares to say that its network of connections can match that of the Zhao family. This is why everyone thinks that the Zhao family is the head of the family.
Xiang Lun was conferred by the imperial court from the third rank, but at most he dealt with Zhao Bao and his son, a side branch of the Zhao family. Even so, he was still afraid of being misunderstood by the head of the Zhao family and being fully suppressed by the Zhao family.
As for Zhao Xiong, this old guy is not a member of the side branch. He is not only from the main family, but can be said to be the second-in-command of the Zhao family.
Xiang Lun really didn't expect that a mere Zhao Congyun could recruit Zhao Xiong.
What surprised him and Yu Shaoyong even more was that Han You and Zhao Xiong were "neither big nor small".
"You didn't come here from the capital specifically to kill me, did you?"
Han You happily sat on the desk with his legs crossed.
Zhao Xiong smiled bitterly: "The general has misunderstood. Hey, speaking of it, not only the general has misunderstood, but also Ma Rulong of the Ma family has misunderstood."
"Ma Rulong?"
"After leaving the capital, Ma Rulong actually stopped me and said that his nephew Ma Fenghou has become a disciple of the general. If the Zhao family is unfavorable to the general, Ma Rulong will personally lead the villagers' Qingqi to rush to the south and kill the Zhao family. Rivers of blood flowed.”
Han You looked confused.
First, he couldn't remember when Ma Fenghou worshiped him as his master.
Second, why does Ma Rulong care so much about his own life and death?
Confusion is nothing but confusion. This kind of thing is not something you should ask Zhao Xiong. Han You's face was full of teasing: "Isn't the Zhao family the best family in the world? Are you still afraid of a group of barbarian aliens?"
Zhao Xiong smiled even more bitterly.
The Zhao family is not afraid of the Ma family in the North, but Zhao Xiong of the Zhao family says he is not afraid of Ma Rulong, which is a lie.
As the saying goes, those who are arrogant are afraid of those who are stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.
Ma Rulong's attempt to uproot the Zhao family is tantamount to wishful thinking.
But if this guy led hundreds of light cavalry and went directly to the south to kill people and set fire to the Zhao family, and the emperor and the court turned a blind eye, it would be really unsolvable and there would be no place to arrest him. As soon as the large force caught them, they went straight up the mountain. They stayed quiet for a few days and continued to go down the mountain to harass the Zhao family.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Han You jumped off the desk and gave his old enemy Zhao Xiong a cup of tea: "First of all, I want someone, Zhao Bao. I only captured Zhao Congyun, but not his father..."
"Zhao Bao has already..."
"Listen to me, Zhao Congyun framed a third-grade magistrate, and he did not hesitate to assassinate someone with a borrowed knife. This is a fact. Another fact is that both real and fake assassinations are assassinations. They are assassinations of the emperor's own soldiers. Based on this alone, I am completely convinced. I can go to war with your Zhao family in the south on behalf of the emperor!"
Zhao Xiong's face was expressionless, as if he was waiting for the next step. He knew that Han You was not stupid and would not do this.
"Secondly, I need a perfect explanation. Sea cucumber... Zhao Bao is lost. I don't believe it. Such a big man disappeared in the Southland, and your Zhao family didn't know about it at all, unless it was your Zhao family who hid him." Got it!"
Han You got angry when he mentioned this matter: "Imagine if I didn't see through Zhao Congyun's trick, and Mr. Xiang was born in the military and has a hot temper. If he had doubts and did not take the officials out of the city, but took the guards out of the city." , we both fought hard. If I die or Xiang Lun dies, no matter who dies, it will be because I came to Qiongzhou. The reason why I came to Qiongzhou is because you told me that Zhou Tianfeng is here. If you think about it this way, Lao Zhao , you are very suspicious."
Zhao Xiong shook his head: "If this was my plan, the general would not be alive now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhui and Zhou Tong rushed in at the door and wanted to draw their swords.
Han You waved his hand and the two of them retreated.
"That's why I'm still waiting for your Zhao family to come."
Han You sat next to him: "You're right. If the boss has made the plan, it won't be full of flaws and I won't easily see through it."
This is the truth. You can say that Zhao Xiong is bad, but you cannot say that Zhao Xiong is good.
Han You had seen Zhao Xiong's methods before in Beijing. If this old guy wanted to set up a killing trap against him in the south, he would definitely not be able to resolve it so easily.
"Zhao Bao, it's not the Zhao family who is hiding."
"Okay, let me ask you a question." Han You turned around and asked: "The reputation of the Zhao family is more important, or is Zhao Xiong more important?"
"Of course reputation is important."
"As long as you know."
Zhao Xiong smiled bitterly.
He knew what Han You meant. If the Zhao family knew where Zhao Bao was, it was best to hand it over and never cover it up.
Taking the initiative to hand it over is called annihilation of relatives for justice, and it will also let the outside world know that Zhao Congyun and his son have nothing to do with other Zhao family members.
"Your Zhao family has great influence in the south. I believe I will see Zhao Bao soon."
Han You looked sideways at Zhao Xiong: "Second thing, give me an explanation. Zhao Congyun and his son are your Zhao family. They staged such a big drama, but your Zhao family didn't know anything about it?"
"General Han..."
Zhao Xiong looked back at Han You, his face was extremely complicated, and he spoke in an inexplicable tone.
"Why do you believe that my Zhao family has no knowledge of the affairs between Zhao Bao and Zhao Congyun and his son?"
"You just said that if you arranged these things, I would not be alive. I think so too. You are the younger brother of the head of the Zhao family. Apart from the head of the Zhao family, you are the one who speaks the truth in the family. This is also what I find strange. , why don’t you know?”
Zhao Xiong took a sip of tea, remained silent, and then broke into laughter after a moment.
"If I say it, do you believe it?"
"Would you lie to me?"
"Won't."
"Then you say it first."
"Zhao Bao and Zhao Congyun have secretly taken refuge in the service of His Highness King Qin."
"Zhao Ni Ma Zhao Xiong!" Han You stood up suddenly: "If you dare to lie to me about Zhao Congyun, I will implicate your Zhao family even if I frame him!"
After finishing speaking, Han You shouted towards the door: "Lu Baichuan, Zhou Tong, come in!"
