It was rare for Han You to go to bed early, but he didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning the next day. The reason was for no other reason than that he didn't fall asleep at night. It had nothing to do with Sikong Zhao, it was just because of his random thoughts.
After getting up at noon, Han You was not as energetic as before. After breakfast and lunch, when he was hesitating whether to go to the palace, Zhu Shang came to report and Shao Hong, the minister of Honglu Temple, paid his respects.
"Didn't he go to court? It's just after noon."
Han You gargled and said, "Bring it here and prepare some refreshments."
Treating each other with courtesy was because Han You was sure that Shao Hong, the young minister of Honglu Temple, was an upright official, or at least a good official in comparison.
When Mr. Zhang came yesterday, his meaning was very clear. He said that he was afraid that Shao Hong would be cheated, so he came. It was obvious that he wanted to protect Shao Hong.
An old man who dared to almost uproot his own government office would not protect a bastard, nor would he be afraid of a bastard being cheated. Therefore, he concluded that Shao Hong was fine.
Zhu Shang quickly brought the person, and Shao Hong walked into the small courtyard with an expressionless face.
Han You was doing eye exercises. He put down his arms and asked, "Didn't Mr. Shao go to court?"
"Up."
Shao Hong walked towards Han You step by step.
"Why did the court come so quickly?"
"It disperses quickly."
Shao Hong still walked towards Han You, and Wang Hai's expression changed slightly as he stood next to him.
A sudden change occurred. When Shao Hong was approaching Han You, he suddenly shouted with his fist, "I will fight with you!"
After the word "La" fell, Shao Hong flew out. Wang Hai drew back his legs and shouted: "Come here, someone has assassinated Shao Yin."
With a sound, Zhu Shang, who had just left the house, ran in. Without saying a word, he pounced on Shao Hong and punched him.
Everything happened so fast that Han You didn't even have time to react. Shao Hong had already received two punches from Bang Bang.
"stop!"
Han You was startled: "Shao Hong, you are seeking death!"
"Let go of me and get out of here." Shao Hong struggled with his eyes split open: "Commander Dog, if I don't kill you today, I swear I won't be a human being!"
Han You was confused.
There were many people who wanted to kill him, but those who really wanted to kill him would not come and assassinate him single-handedly, not to mention that it had nothing to do with "killing". Shao Hong looked like he just wanted to beat him.
Pushing Zhu Shang away, Han You said sternly: "What happened? Why did you disperse the court early? Why did you yell to kill me!"
Shao Hong was about to hurt someone violently, but Zhu Shang kicked him down again.
You must know that Zhu Shang, who is usually a secretive person, was once a frontier soldier and a fierce warrior. There is no way that a civil servant can deal with it, not to mention that there is Wang Hai standing next to him, already holding a short sword.
"Chief Dog, it's all your fault. Why didn't you send the roster to the palace last night?"
"Do you know about the roster?" Han You's expression changed dramatically: "Something happened to Mr. Zhang."
"Has been taken to the prison of the Criminal Department, Commander Dog, I..."
Before he could finish cursing, Han You had already rushed out of the door, shouting as he ran: "Ready your horse, hurry!"
Wang Hai followed and shouted, and a group of people rushed out from all directions, including Lu Baichuan, Jiang Zhui, Zhou Tong and some miscellaneous soldiers.
Before he could reach the stable, Beimen Yuyong rushed over like a big snowball.
"Uncle, something happened in Beijing!"
Beimen Yuyong, who was sweating profusely, ran over and shouted: "At the beginning of the court today, the official of Honglu Temple decided to impeach twenty-seven officials of Honglu Temple and handed over a list to report Honglu Temple and envoys from various countries. The conspiracy was irrefutable. Long Yan was furious and the court officials were in an uproar. A total of more than 30 people, including Zhang Wending, were imprisoned. His Majesty was so angry that he dispersed the court early and ordered the Yidao Guards to conduct a thorough investigation."
Han You stood stunned as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Beimen Yuyong knew that Zhang Wending had visited last night. When he saw Han You's appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Does uncle know about the roster?"
"Yes, I have the roster...I also have a copy."
"It's strange. Since I handed it over to you, why did Zhang Wending have to hand it over in court?"
"Because... because I said that someone would report it to the palace last night. Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang is afraid of me... afraid that I will suppress this matter."
"This old bastard, now that the martial arts performance is about to happen, wouldn't this incident make me, Da Zhou, a laughing stock..."
"Shut up!" Han You scolded: "You know what the heck, it's just because the martial arts performance is about to happen that the boss wants to break the alliance!"
Pushing open the north gate Yu Yong, Han You ran to the stable, got on a military horse and galloped away. The three brothers of the Sha family also got on their horses and followed closely.
After galloping all the way out of the villa and onto the official road, Han You felt guilty.
He knew why Zhang Wen was sure to hand over the roster at the court, because after the old man went to court, he saw that the emperor was as normal as usual, so he concluded that the roster had not been sent to the palace.
The roster was not sent to the palace, which meant that he, the emperor's personal soldier, hesitated and was concerned about the face of the country and wanted to suppress the matter temporarily.
Zhang Wending's idea is that only by breaking through can we establish a great cause. Since we are wrong, we can't make the same mistake again and again. We would rather lose people once than let Honglu Temple make something that is related to the glory of the country such as martial arts. Business.
There is also a question involved here. Zhang Wending did not hesitate to embarrass the country and break the establishment. Why didn't he do this before?
Because now there is Han You in the capital, and there are Yida guards.
In the past, no, even if Zhang Wen decided to hand over the roster, the people investigating the matter would be the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and at most the Ministry of Rites.
These three government offices will definitely reduce the big deal to the trivial matter.
Just as he expected, Long Yan was furious and the emperor ordered the Yidao Guards to conduct a thorough investigation. He did not say who was in charge and who was assisting, but just named the Yidao Guards. The Yidao Guards were the emperor's personal soldiers, and the person in charge of the swords was the eye. Han You, who can't get rid of the sand inside, no one can escape and no one can protect him if he conducts a thorough investigation.
As for why Shao Hong wanted to beat up Han You, it is easy to understand. He knew about the roster. If Han You had sent the roster to the palace last night, there would be room for change. At least, Zhang Wen would not be directly imprisoned. Take primary responsibility.
The emperor Long Yan was furious. It was not Zhang Wending who exposed this matter, but he exposed it in the civil and military courts of the entire dynasty. It won't take long for it to spread throughout the capital. It won't take long for it to spread throughout the country. The world.
This is equivalent to Zhang Wending sitting in the court and slapping the emperor in the face and the court in the face.
Riding fast horses all the way, Han You and the three Sha family brothers broke the record for the fastest entry into Beijing, entered through the west gate, and went straight to the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Punishment and the jail of the Ministry of Punishment are not in the same place yet. Han You originally thought that Zhang Wending would not be imprisoned in the jail immediately. However, he did not know until he asked the officials at the entrance of the Punishment Department that Zhang Wending and a group of Honglu Temple officials directly He was sent to prison by the palace guards.
Regardless of entering the yamen, Han You turned around and took people to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. His heart was full of worries about Mr. Zhang Wen Dingzhang.
Controlling his army and horses and following Han You closely, Wang Hai said: "Master, something is wrong. Mr. Zhang suddenly presented the name list to the court. There must be something hidden."
Han You didn't say anything. He also thought that there must be other reasons.
