Prince Han Sien

Bai Shu pursed his lips and looked at everyone. When he usually pursed his lips, his round eyes were smiling, so no matter how serious his expression was, his fleshy cheeks still looked cute, like a Simple and clean white rabbit.

But now, his cheeks are tense, his round eyes are slightly raised, and there is no emotion in him, and the cold sword in his hand makes him look extraordinarily cold.

Bai Shu was used to looking for Han Sien over the wall, but he didn't expect to jump in front of everyone today, which made his gloomy mood even more gloomy.

And the people present were shocked by his sudden appearance.

Ji Luo looked at Bai Shu's eyebrows and frowned slightly. In the surroundings of Liuzhou City, it is absolutely impossible for Bai Shu to go hunting. The blood on his body may be human blood, but I don't know who it is.

Zhou Ma'an looked at the sword in Bai Shu's hand and the blood on the hem of his clothes, his heart moved slightly, he looked at Han Si'en and frowned and asked, "Who is this?"

Han Si'en ignored Zhou Ma'an, but looked straight at Bai Shu and said, "What's the matter?"

He naturally knew what Bai Shu was going to do, and his tone was so gentle.

Bai Shu is not a fool, he sees people and things very thoroughly.Although he is a little weird, but the basic sense of right and wrong is still there under the influence of his brother Bai Wenhan.

It's just that Bai Wenhan dotes on him on weekdays, and he lives more freely and casually compared to other people.

Bai Shu knew that his appearance had been seen by others, so if he didn't explain the matter clearly in front of these Liuzhou officials, he was afraid that someone would obstruct him and implicate Bai Wenhan in the future.So after Han Sien asked, he immediately said: "I accidentally saw some injured refugees in the city these few days, and I heard the people from Liangjiang General Military Mansion on patrol talking about Dawang Mountain in Wen'an County. A group of bandits have been occupying it all year round. It is said that these bandits have always committed crimes, and the government has repeatedly encircled and suppressed them in recent years without success. This time Liangjiang was severely affected, and they were short of food, so they robbed several villages around Wen'an County. Today I am free When I had nothing to do, I went to Dawang Mountain for a walk, and happened to meet these robbers coming down the mountain, so I dealt with them."

Bai Shu spoke in a flat tone, as if casually saying that the weather is really nice today.Zhou Ma'an's face, which was always patient, changed rarely. It was the joy of enduring it. He looked at Bai Shu and said seriously: "Although I don't know who you are, I can see that you are a commoner. , since you are served by the imperial envoy, I will not pursue your rudeness. It is just that there are robbers in Dawangshan, and I have already reported to the emperor. Dawangshan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is Wen'an The place that must pass through to Liuzhou, and those bandits occupy the mountain as their king. For this reason, I even asked Liangjiang General Army Mansion to send troops, but it failed to solve this serious problem. I have been unable to sleep peacefully because of this. If those bandits If you really solved it, I must report it to the emperor and reward you."

Bai Shu heard Zhou Ma'an's words, and said: "The leading bandit is a one-eyed dragon, after I killed them, I took the body of the one-eyed dragon to Liangjiang General Military Mansion, and left them the addresses where the robbers were killed. When I carried the body, many people in the city saw it. I also heard them say that the one-eyed dragon was a very famous robber, and that he was the second-in-command. When I came back, I saw that the General Military Mansion sent troops. Now they may have confirmed Playing with the identities of these robbers. I killed these robbers, but I won’t take the credit with you officials, why don’t you look happy.”

Zhou Ma'an's expression froze slightly, his lips trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a while.

Han Sien at the side laughed out loud when he saw this scene, Zhou Maan spoke beautifully and wanted to give credit to Bai Shu, but he wanted to eat Bai Shu raw in his heart.Wen'an County is neither near nor far from Liuzhou City. The location there is indeed dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not impossible to attack.

Although officials like Zhou Ma'an hadn't directly colluded with those robbers in recent years, doing things like wearing official uniforms as officials and taking off official uniforms as bandits, but he has always been acquiescing to those robbers.They suppress bandits every year, and they always spend money.They didn't fully see the money allocated by the imperial court. What they saw was the filial piety of the merchants. The money was much more than the imperial court allocated.

Now, Bai Shu suddenly appeared and cut off their way to get rich. If the court investigates carefully, they will definitely find signs of it. Zhou Ma'an is naturally startled and confused.So he said good things on his lips, but he was always thinking about some vicious plans in his heart, such as covering up the identities of those robbers as ordinary people in the city, and then quickly wrote a book to the emperor, saying that he indulged his subordinates and let him kill people on purpose Pretend to be a robber to claim credit.

Thinking of this, Han Si'en looked at Bai Shu with crooked eyebrows and a rare smile in his eyes, and he said leisurely to Bai Shu: "Master Zhou is not blaming you, you see he is in a good mood now, I am afraid it is a I was so excited that I was speechless. Master Zhou will remember your contribution in his heart and will always be grateful. Speaking of which, if the emperor knew that the robbers who have not been wiped out by the government for many years, you would easily destroy one , must be rewarded vigorously. Even if you give the credit to others, your share will be indispensable. Fortunately, the one-eyed robber is so special that he was recognized by the people in the city. Framed by thieves, otherwise you will not be able to clean up even if you jump into the Yellow River."

Zhou Ma'an's ears turned red from what he said, and he knew that Han Si'en was pointing at him as incompetent.

His eyes were dimmed, and various thoughts flashed in his mind, but his face remained unchanged, and even became a little respectful. He followed Han Sien's words and admitted that he had been disadvantaged in his work in the past, and then used today's inconvenience to send disaster relief to him. The money was taken away, and he left on the grounds that he needed to do a few more days of preparation.

Han Si'en looked at the back of Zhou Ma'an and others leaving, and raised his eyebrows.He waved for everyone to retreat, and he, Bai Shu, Ji Luo and Ji Yue went to the side hall.

Han Si'en thought it was very interesting, the appearance of Bai Shu, coupled with the impoliteness in his words just now, made Zhou Ma'an's murderous aura almost jump out of his chest just now.

And if Zhou Ma'an's method of dealing with himself in his heart succeeds, it will indeed bring some disaster to them, and he may not be able to explain it to the emperor.

Zhou Maan was very wary of his raids all the way. Although the background of those small officials was not deep, Zhou Maan still felt threatened by him.

Zhou Ma'an is a ruthless person, and has always had a murderous intention towards him, but he has been an official for so many years and has always been careful.These days, I have been preparing secretly, waiting for the exact letter from the capital by the way.

Today, Zhou Ma'an was inadvertently caught by Bai Shu who was the second head of the robber, and his murderous aura rushed, and he added his own words.

Zhou Ma'an couldn't figure out his pulse, fearing that he would forcibly intervene in the robber's affairs like forcibly ransacking the house, and he would be implicated.So this person suddenly wanted to take a risk and deal with them on the spot, of course the most important thing was to deal with Han Si'en.

Ji Luo is the prince, and Ji Yue is the son of Prince Yongjun. If they die in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor will be furious.In addition, the image of the two of them not doing anything in front of outsiders these days is not so eye-catching.

The yard they live in was found by Zhou Ma'an. Although the yard is big, it can't accommodate so many people he brought.This courtyard is guarded by the imperial guards, and the accompanying guards are not far from here, and the official bank for disaster relief is in this courtyard.

Moreover, there are organs hidden in these yards, Zhou Ma'an is going to find an opportunity to pretend to be a robber, kill those officials who ransacked Han Sien's house these days, and kill some of the guards and guards brought by Han Sien, Snatching away some of the official money for disaster relief is considered revenge by the robbers, and they will leave some witnesses at will.

People died like a lamp went out, and when the emperor who was far away in the capital received the note and sent someone to investigate the case, he was completely wiped out.

If the emperor values ​​Han Si'en very much and insists on punishing him, he has contacts in the court and can always take care of him. The worst result is that he resigns and returns to his hometown, but the money is still in his hand and he is still alive. .

If you are lucky, at most you will be demoted to another place, and you will be able to enter and leave the court in the future.Whatever you do is better than being forced to die by Han Sien.

Or even if he couldn't kill Han Si'en, he could kill those officials who were copied by him.It was Han Sien's intentional design to frame those few officials before they died. They were innocent and would always make the emperor feel bad about Han Sien.

Thinking of Zhou Ma'an's calculations, Han Si'en smiled lightly.It is unbelievable that no matter what era people are, they are vicious.

It's just who gave him the ability to understand people's minds. This is really a very useful ability.All the dirty thoughts of those people, random thoughts, there is nothing to hide in front of him.

He doesn't need to trust people, he just needs to know the thoughts of everyone around him, so that he won't be betrayed, and he won't be locked up again.You can also adjust what you want to say and what you want to do anytime, anywhere, so that you can live freely and freely.

Bai Shu looked at Han Sien's smiling face, Baozi's cheeks were puffed up, he took a step forward to break the calm on the field, and said, "Master Zhou is not a good person, he had murderous looks in his eyes when he left, wouldn't it be Do you want to jump over the wall in a hurry?"

Ji Luo took a step forward with a sullen face, and said, "I agree with Bai Shu's words. Zhou Ma'an has been operating in Liuzhou for so many years. He has money in his hand and has his own power. We'd better be careful and trust it."

In fact, he didn't quite agree with Han Si'en's provocation of Zhou Ma'an with words so bluntly. Zhou Ma'an must hate Han Si'en's mouth to death.From Ji Luo's point of view, Han Si'en's actions were just for a moment of comfort, leaving too much trouble behind, it was really not a wise move.

But seeing Han Sien's calm appearance, he still sighed in his heart.In his previous life, Han Si'en had such a temperament that he was not afraid of anything and never wanted to live, but in this life it just got worse.Furthermore, Han Sien is different from him, he is the one who wants to sit on the most noble chair in the world, he must pay attention to checks and balances when dealing with courtiers, there are many things he cannot say, and many things he knows in his heart but cannot do so.Speaking of which, he was a little envious of Han Si'en's chic life.

It's a pity that he has too many desires in his heart and too many things to think about, so he can't do what Han Sien did.

Han Si'en lazily said: "In this case, let Jiang Shuisheng, the commander of the Liangjiang River, come over. Jiang Shuisheng and Zhou Ma'an are not people in the same way. Although he did not participate in Liangjiang's government affairs, the breach of Liangjiang's embankment caused countless deaths and injuries. Your Majesty He may not be able to spare him. He knows in his heart, otherwise he would not be used by Zhou Maan, he needs credit, and we can just give him this opportunity to let him protect us."

Ji Luo said: "Are you sure he won't reveal the news to Zhou Ma'an?"

Han Sien rubbed his thumb and index finger together a few times, and then he said: "I'm not sure, but I have to try, otherwise Zhou Ma'an will jump the wall in a hurry, and we might all die here." Although he He is not afraid of life and death, but it is not good to implicate innocent people and die with him.

Ji Luo's expression was a bit dignified, Bai Shu looked at Han Si'en, and said, "It's okay, I'm good at martial arts, so I can protect you."

A look of confusion flashed across the face of Ji Yue, the crown prince of Yongjun, and he said, "Isn't it? Don't you care too much? We have been here in Liuzhou for so many days. There is no problem. Although Han Shizi's words are not pleasant to listen to, , but he is an imperial envoy personally appointed by the emperor after all. Even if Mr. Zhou feels a little uncomfortable, it is not as serious as you said, right? Are we too worried, and some grass and trees are like soldiers?"

After Ji Yue finished speaking, six eyes greeted him.Ji Yue blinked and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

Ji Luo shook her head. Ji Yue can't be blamed for this. After all, although Ji Yue is the heir of the Prince's Mansion of Yongjun, he has been living the life of Wushuang, a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse.

King Yongjun has no military power in his hands, nor does it affect the strength of the court. The Palace of Yongjun Palace is now seen by others only because the emperor tolerated King Yongjun a little bit.

Moreover, at this time, Ji Yue hadn't contacted those courtiers, and hadn't provoked the burden of Yongjun Palace.

Of course, if he didn't live a new life himself, he wouldn't easily become suspicious of Zhou Ma'an, after all, this man's reputation in the officialdom is pretty good.

As for why Bai Shu had such an idea, after observing intentionally or unconsciously these days, he found that Bai Shu was very sensitive to the emotional changes of animals when hunting.It's often those animals that are well hidden, and Bai Shu's arrow has already been shot before they reach the point of sight, and it must be the same for people.

If Zhou Ma'an had bad intentions, no matter how he tried to hide them, he would reveal some unintentionally. Bai Shu felt the so-called murderous aura, which is probably a characteristic of martial arts masters.

As for Han Si'en's thoughts, Ji Luo didn't find it strange at all.From Ji Luo's point of view, Han Si'en is an extremely weird person, no matter in his previous life or in this life.

Thinking of this, Ji Luo made a final decision, and said, "Then let's invite Master Jiang Shuisheng Jiang, the commander in chief of Liangjiang, to come over quietly. It's better to be prepared."

@@

And Zhou Ma'an, who was discussed by them, had returned to his house at this time.As soon as he got home, he shut himself up in his study.

This is a habit that Zhou Maan has developed over the years. He always does this when he encounters a decision that needs to be made, so as to make himself less impetuous.

Everyone in the Governor's Mansion knew his habit. If one day Zhou Maan came back from the outside and went directly to the study, no one in the Governor's Mansion, including his wife, would bother him.

But today is an exception. Zhou Maan is closing his eyes in the study and thinking about the plan formed in his head. Once the idea is formed, it will be difficult to suppress. Zhou Maan is thinking about the obvious loopholes in his plan and the way to remedy it in the future .

Liu Gen, the housekeeper of his house, knocked on the door of the study with a special knocking method.

Zhou Ma'an suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full, and he let Liu Gen in.

After Liu Gen came in, he carefully took out a letter from his arms, lowered his head and held it in both hands, and said very respectfully: "Master, there is a letter from Beijing."

"Submit it quickly." Zhou Maan sat up straight and said in a slightly hasty tone.

Liu Gen hurriedly stepped forward, handed over the letter, and left the study by himself.

Zhou Maan hurriedly opened the letter, and just after reading a few lines, he raised his eyebrows, and the tense string in his heart relaxed.

Zhou Ma'an snorted coldly and said, "It turns out that Han Si'en is just a prince who was abandoned by the Korean government. I knew that a person who dared to copy all his own uncles would definitely have a suspicion with the Korean government. Wait." The news of Han Ping's arrest spread to Beijing, and the South Korean government would not protect and endure Han Sien. Now Han Sien is relying on the emperor's favor for a while, so he can act so impatiently. It is nothing more than fear He fell out of favor in front of the emperor, and could not gain a foothold in the Han family."

After saying this, Zhou Ma'an carefully read the following things again, and then closed the letter.

When the emperor ordered Han Si'en to be an imperial envoy, accompanied by the third prince and Prince Yongjun's son, he received a letter from Beijing.

Because the emperor was furious about the Jiangnan incident at that time, the letter said in general terms, only saying that Han Sien was a person who did not consider the consequences and would not show mercy to offend others step by step. The emperor's liking implies that he should be more careful in doing things.

When Han Sien arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he ransacked the house of the first official without reason, and immediately sent people to the capital to inquire about all the latest details of Han Sien, the third prince, and the prince of Yongjun. Condition.

The South Korean government is not easy to mess with. Although it can't stop him from doing things, he must always have a score in his heart.

Now this letter came too timely. Han Sien had already been abandoned by the Han family, and because of random ransacking of the house, it aroused the public indignation of everyone in the court.In the past few days, someone has been submitting papers to the emperor, asking him to punish Han Sien severely, causing the emperor to scold Han Sien angrily in the imperial study room for doing things too absurdly.

If this is the case, then what he wants to do has succeeded, and the resistance to being investigated in the future will be less.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ma'an patted the letter, laughed twice and said: "Han Si'en, Han Si'en, even God is on my side this time, I want to see how arrogant you are in the future"
