Han Delu was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The leader of the Yingzhou Uprising Army, Han Shantong, as mentioned by the Marquis, is my grandfather."
Chen Kan was stunned. He just guessed that Han Delu might have some relationship with Han Shantong, maybe they were from the same clan.
Unexpectedly, Han Delu was actually a descendant of Han Shantong.
After a while, Chen Kan stood up, bowed his hands solemnly and said, "I don't know if it's because of Queen Ming's concubines, but Chen Yuansheng is rude."
After saluting, he turned to look at the captain outside the door and said, "Come here, bring a stool for Shopkeeper Han."
Han Delu couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that Chen Kan actually paid him such a big gift, but he was only surprised. He accepted Chen Kan's big gift openly.
Soon, the captain brought a stool for Han Delu and unlocked the shackles on his hands.
Han Delu sat on the bench, looked at Chen Kan and asked with a smile: "Why was the Marquis so arrogant at first and so respectful later?"
Chen Kandao: "Ming King Han Shantong took the lead in launching the first battle of the Ming Dynasty against the Yuan Dynasty, and set a good example for our Han people to successfully drive the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty out of the Central Plains. Although I have a different stance from the White Lotus Sect, the descendants of King Ming Dynasty are still worth it." I respect you."
What Chen Kan respected was not the Han Delu in front of him, but the short-lived Ming Dynasty King Han Shantong.
Han Shantong was born in a White Lotus sect family. His grandfather was the leader of the White Lotus sect. He was banished to Bailu Manor in Yongnian for propagating his teachings.
Han Shantong inherited his grandfather's legacy and still preached in Bailu Village. Later, he moved to Yingzhou several times, where he met Liu Futong, a large local landowner.
The two could not bear the oppression of the corrupt government of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, so they formed the Red Scarf Army and launched an uprising in Yingzhou.
As we all know, the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang made his fortune from the Red Scarf Army, so if you really want to talk about it, the Ming Prince is still the old master of the old Zhu family.
Later, the rebel army swept across the world, and the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty fled in panic to the grasslands. Han Shantong's son, Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, fell into the water and died when he came to the capital to ascend the throne.
After confirming that Han Shantong was extinct, Zhu Yuanzhang held an enthronement ceremony in Nanjing.
Chen Kan knew these old things very clearly.
Therefore, even if Han Shantong is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, it still does not affect Chen Kan's respect for him.
Han Delu was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. He never thought that you, a young prince, would still remember my grandfather's achievements."
There was no way he could answer this question. It would be disrespectful to say so because it involved Grand Ancestor Taizu, so Chen Kan chose to remain silent.
"hehe!"
When Han Delu saw that Chen Kan didn't answer anything, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Why, Marquis Jinghai has the guts to interrogate me, but doesn't have the guts to uncover those dusty old events?"
Chen Kan shook his head: "Shopkeeper Han is joking. I have nothing to do with the grievances between King Ming's lineage and the royal family. I came here today just to ask where the true Buddha is now. If he is not dead, I will have trouble sleeping and eating." .”
Han Delu smacked his lips, then shook his head: "As you can see, my Han family has now been squeezed out of the core of the White Lotus Sect. I don't know where the true Buddha is."
Chen Kan did not doubt the authenticity of Han Delu's words. After all, a descendant of Han Shantong would not deceive him on such a matter.
Han Shantong's reputation is still very good in the Ming Dynasty.
So Chen Kan decided not to ask these meaningless questions.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Kan asked: "Who is the real Buddha?"
Han Delu frowned: "I don't know the true identity of the True Buddha, but what I can tell you is that the True Buddha is definitely not named Tang. The White Lotus Virgin and the current True Buddha are very likely to be promoted to the stage by the True Buddha. As for the more blinding methods, as I just said, the Han family has been squeezed out of the core of the White Lotus Sect. So I don’t know.”
After listening to Han Delu's words, Chen Kan said thoughtfully: "If your surname is not Tang, then your surname is Liu?"
Han Delu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, but... I can't rule out this possibility."
After secretly guessing in his mind, Chen Kan continued to ask: "What is the purpose of the real Buddha asking you to take the people of Donghe Town to Laoya Temple?"
"I don't know, but it is very likely that he is preparing to kill you. I don't know how exactly."
Han Delu basically answered all questions, but unfortunately his identity meant that he could not know too many things.
Before coming, Chen Kan never thought that Han Delu would be so cooperative. He was even prepared for Xu Yuan to be punished.
Of course, Chen Kan would never believe that Han Shantong's descendants would be weak.
And the reason why he was willing to cooperate with him was probably because of the respect he had for Han Shantong when he guessed the identity.
After asking the questions that should be asked, Chen Kan and Han Delu fell into silence at the same time.
After a while, Chen Kan said calmly: "Shopkeeper Han, I originally wanted to keep your whole body, but you also know that your identity has probably been spread to His Majesty's ears, so it is impossible to keep your whole body. Now, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? If it is within my ability, I will do my best to fulfill it for you."
Han Delu smiled freely: "I don't care if the body is intact or not. As for the last wish, my son died in your hands, what else can I have?"
Chen Kan frowned and said, "I did not know the identity of your son beforehand."
"I know I know!"
Han Delu stopped and said: "An enemy of life and death should use any means. If it hadn't been for my ambition and wanted the Han family to re-enter the core of power of the White Lotus Sect, he would not have died in your hands.
Because I planted it myself, no matter what kind of fruit it bears, I can accept it. There is no reason in this world for him to kill you and you cannot kill him. "
At this moment, Han Delu was like a wise man who had seen through the world and looked at the impending death indifferently.
Chen Kan said: "In any case, I, Chen Kan, want to remember the legacy of King Ming Dynasty. Shopkeeper Han might as well think about it again."
"I don't want to think about it anymore. It's a waste of energy. If you really mean it, send the real Buddha to hell as soon as possible to accompany me. Now that the people are living a good life, then the mission of the White Lotus Sect has come to an end. Any change of dynasty is just a careerist move. Due to his desire, the disappearance of the White Lotus Sect is considered a good result."
Chen Kan nodded, cupped his hands towards Han Delu and said, "I promise that I won't keep you waiting for too long."
After saying that, Chen Kan turned around and walked out of the imperial prison. As for how Zhu Di would treat Han Delu, that was not something Chen Kan could intervene in.
The sunshine outside the prison was particularly dazzling, and a gust of hot wind hit him, making Chen Kan couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Before we knew it, it was early summer again.
Chen Kan raised his head and looked at the sun. The blazing sunlight made his eyes sore. After a while, tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
Looking away, Chen Kan murmured to himself: "What a pity."
Xu Yuan asked: "Master Hou, what's the pity?"
Chen Kan shook his head and said nothing. It was a pity that he was referring to the Ming Dynasty King.
It's a pity that he was not born five hundred years later, otherwise he would be at least as famous as Mr. Sun
It's a pity that he met the petty Lao Zhu.
Chen Kan walked slowly to the gate of the Nancheng Army and Horse Department, looked back and told Xu Yuan: "If your Majesty sends someone to interrogate Han Delu, after his death, send someone to scatter his ashes into the river."
Xu Yuan nodded in agreement and asked for instructions: "Master Hou, over there at Lao Yaguan, do you need..."
Xu Yuan made a motion of wiping his neck, with a fierce look on his face, like a cannon fodder villain in a novel.
Chen Kan glared at him dissatisfied: "How many times have I told you that we are the righteous party in front of the White Lotus Sect. Can you please calm down your expression?"
"oh!"
Xu Yuan quickly showed a harmless look: "Master Marquis, is this okay?"
"Okay, it would be better if you could read more books."
"Why?"
"A person who looks upright and upright will live a long life."
Xu Yuan was a little confused. He didn't understand why a person with great righteousness could live so long.
Every one of those Qingliu civil servants who were beheaded by His Majesty was filled with awe-inspiring righteousness, but they didn't live long.
Chen Kan took a deep breath and ordered: "Since there is a problem with Lao Yaguan, let's get rid of it. In addition, send people to keep an eye on the people of Donghe Town at any time. If there is any trouble, don't hold back."
"I obey my orders."
The five people accepted the order in unison, and when they looked at Chen Kan, he had already gotten into the carriage and walked away.
After staying in the Wucheng Bingma Division for an hour, when Chen Kan returned home, Hua Shi happened to walk out of the study.
Their eyes met, Chen Kan smiled and said, "Have you finished the test paper?"
Hua Shi bowed politely to Chen Kan and said, "Teacher, everything is done."
"Well done."
After complimenting Hua Shi, Chen Kan walked into the study room and saw the test papers he gave Hua Shi neatly placed on the desk.
Chen Kan checked the bookshelf, which was still exactly the same as when he went out.
This shows that there is no cheating when spending time.
He came to the desk and picked up the test paper and started marking it.
Chen Kan gave Hua Shi a hundred questions in total, and the most difficult questions were no more than the second grade of elementary school.
The question-sea tactic is a mountain that every student who has received exam-oriented education will never be able to overcome.
In addition, in order to pursue convenience, Chen Kan also put all the questions together, including arithmetic questions, literature and history questions, including Chinese Pinyin. All the questions were messed up by Chen Kan.
Therefore, when you spend time doing questions, your energy must be scattered.
Therefore, Chen Kan did not have high requirements for him, just passing the test was enough.
But half an hour later, looking at the ninety-point mark outlined in red pen on the test paper, Chen Kan realized that he had underestimated Hua Shi's intelligence.
Hua Shi pushed the door open and came in. She saw Chen Kan looking at the questions on the test paper in a daze, and said with some trepidation: "Teacher, arithmetic is too difficult. The students' fingers are not enough, so I didn't get a full score, which is embarrassing for you. "
Chen Kan couldn't help but twitch his face, and the words of praise were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say any more.
After a while, Chen Kan stood up and rubbed Hua Shi's little head, with a kind smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, ninety points is not bad. Come on next time, I believe you will be able to do your best. Come on, now Let your teacher tell you your shortcomings."
