The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

As soon as he shouted, he felt a dagger against his waist from behind.

It was Yoruichi who stood behind him without him noticing.

Before Han Bing could fully come to his senses, he saw a man walking out from the shadows and standing next to Hua Wuke.

"Night is not confused?"

A sharp light flashed in Ye Buhuo's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this person not only recognized Suisui, but also recognized himself.

Han Bing was tied up by Ye Yi and taken to the main building of Bufeng Village.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the main building, Ye Yi pushed Han Bing in.

After staggering a few steps, Han Bing stood up and saw the brothers Zhao Sen and Zhao Lin sitting at the table.

He narrowed his eyes viciously but said nothing.

"What is your relationship with Han Che in the capital?"

Ye Buhuo asked.

Han Che is a businessman in the capital who often does business with the Southern Kingdom.

Not long ago, there was frequent contact with the North Country.

Hearing Han Che's name, Han Bing's eyes flickered unnaturally.

Han Bing didn't answer.

But that flash did not escape Ye Buhuo's eyes, and he had a guess in his heart.

"I have heard that Han Che has a younger brother who never shows up in public."

"I also know that Han Che has a jade pendant with the word 'Che' engraved on it."

"I don't know if you have any."

Ye Buhuo raised his hand slightly, and Ye Yi began to grope Han Bing's body.

Han Bing didn't react at first.

It was not until Ye Yi touched his collar that Han Bing began to struggle violently.

After a while, Ye Yi felt a hard object on Han Bing's chest.

Ye Yi took it out and saw that it was indeed a jade pendant with the word "ice" written on it.

Ye Buhuo took the jade pendant from Ye Yi, held it in his hand and looked at the word "ice".

Put the jade pendant on the table.

Ye Buhuo finally confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

"Where are the food and money?"

Seeing that Ye Buhuo already knew his identity, Han Bing no longer kept silent.

He sneered and said:

"Since Your Majesty is so capable, why don't you find it yourself?"

Ye Buhuo stared at him steadily, his eyes like a bottomless abyss.

"The northern country's food and fodder is purchased from you."

This is not a question, but an affirmative statement.

Han Bing didn't expect Ye Buhuo to actually involve the matter with the Northern Kingdom. Han Bing spoke in panic:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Is the king talking nonsense?"

"Why don't you tell the people of Ye Country about your theft of military rations from Beimo Pass and the fact that Beiguo bought military rations from somewhere unknown, and let them make the judgment?"

It's no secret that Han Che often did business with Beiguo in previous years.

Now that the food was lost at Beimo Pass, the Northern Kingdom has bought food again.

At that time, Ye Buhuo will reveal his identity and the fact that he had stolen military rations.

Then there is really no way for me and my brother to defend ourselves.

I wonder if the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince can protect the Han family...

Hua Wu Ke looked at Han Bing, who was frowning and hesitant.

Hua Wu Ke pretended that he had no way to deal with him and said:

"Your Majesty, since we can't get any information from Young Master Han, why don't we just hand this person over to the Emperor as you said."

"Then I will ask His Majesty to allocate more food and fodder to Beimo Pass."

After reporting the matter to the court, it would take at least two months for the next grain delivery.

The battle at Beimo Pass probably won’t last that long.

Hua Wu Ke said this just to scare Han Bing.

Ye Buhuo pretended to think, then nodded.

Hua Wu Ke stroked his forehead with his hand again.

Covering herself with her hands, she secretly winked at Zhao Sen.

Zhao Sen understood what he meant.

Sighing and lowering his brows, Zhao Sen looked regretful.

"Brother, once the emperor knows about this, you will not be able to escape the charge of 'collaborating with the enemy and treason'."

"By then, not only you, but even the entire Han family will be punished. The emperor will not let you go. If you are escorted back to the capital this time, I am afraid that you and I will never see each other again."

"When there's a chance in the future, I, as your elder brother, will go to the capital to burn incense for you!"

Zhao Sen is right.

If this matter is reported to the emperor, even if I deny selling military rations to the enemy country, Ye Chuji and Shen Wenchang will pin the blame on me.

By then, the entire Han family...

Han Bing thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and said:

"This matter has nothing to do with my eldest brother. It was done by me alone."

"I am willing to tell His Majesty the whereabouts of the food and military pay, and I beg His Majesty to give the Han family a way out."

Han Che is a very cautious person. He would rather give up benefits than easily take sides and put himself in danger.

The only way Han Bing could have worked as Ye Chuji's lackey was that he did it secretly without telling Han Che.

Ye Buhuo nodded and promised not to involve Han Che.

"Where is the thing?"

Han Bing hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He opened his mouth and said:

"The things are at the east end of the hill! I can lead the way for you, Your Highness."

"But the East Mountain is heavily guarded, with a checkpoint at every distance. It's not easy for outsiders to get in."

What makes Ye Chuji so cautious?

Ye Buhuo frowned deeply and said:

"What's on the east hill?"

Ye Buhuo finally asked this question.

Han Bing looked up at him and replied:

"There is an iron mine on the east hill!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

If you secretly hoard iron ore, your entire clan will be punished!

No wonder Dongshantou even dared to take the army's rations...

Ye Buhuo frowned and fell into deep thought.

"People from Dongshantou are coming!"

Heizi, who had been outside the house paying attention to the movements around him, suddenly ran in in panic and said.

Ye Buhuo raised his head slightly and looked at Hua Wuke.

This is an opportunity to enter Dongshantou!

Ye Yi quickly untied Han Bing and everyone changed positions.

Zhao Sen sat back in his tiger-skin chair, with Zhao Lin and Han Bing sitting on either side of him.

After a while, a group of people walked in.

The three leaders of Bufeng Village stood up and walked forward to greet them.

"Brother Chen, what brings you here today?"

Zhao Sen asked Chen Ping, who was in the lead.

Chen Ping sat down on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

It seemed as if he didn't take Zhao Sen seriously at all.

"I came to ask you for a few people."

Zhao Sen quietly looked at Ye Buhuo.

After getting Ye Buhuo's hint, Zhao Sen nodded his chin towards Ye Buhuo.

"I just gave it to several people a few days ago. Now I am very short of manpower in Fengbuzhai."

"I can only give you these two this time. I don't have any more."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping put down the tea bowl in his hand in displeasure.

"Why, is it your turn to decide how many people I want?"

At this time, Han Bing also spoke:

"Why not take those two women with you and have them cook for the brothers in Dongshantou? The people who were originally cooking can be used elsewhere."

Chen Ping thought about it and thought this was a good idea.

It's such a waste for those two cooks to stay in the kitchen all day long.

Chen Ping looked at Hua Wu Ke and Qing Zhu again.

The four of them had already changed into the clothes of the mountain village. Now Hua Wu Ke and Qing Zhu were wearing coarse linen clothes with some dust on their faces.

She looks like a gray-faced mountain village girl.

"Okay, let's just use these four this time."
