Chapter 165
The next morning, He Hanzhu sent Su Xuezhi back to the west court.
He stood outside the gate, watched her figure disappear into the gate, turned around and saw the leopard standing by the roadside waiting for him from afar.
He arrived so early in the morning, and He Hanzhu realized that there should be news and speeded up.
Sure enough, the leopard told him that the person was found by King Zheng Long, and sent him over overnight last night and just arrived.
It's a long story, and this matter is related to the subordinate who betrayed General Zheng to the Qing court. The man's surname was Yu, and it was because of his rebellion that the later siege of General Zheng and the meeting and negotiations between General Zheng and the He family's grandfather. After General Zheng committed suicide, the surname Yu was appointed as an official by the Qing court. Later, one day, the person suddenly disappeared and disappeared after that. There was no news for decades until the case of cellar storage was released more than ten years ago and the He family was in trouble.
Because it was related to the case of my grandfather back then, He Hanzhu has been secretly investigating the whereabouts of this person in recent years. However, because the initial incident occurred in a long time, even when the He family was in trouble more than ten years ago, he was only twelve years old. There were not many clues available at hand, and the search was not smooth, and it even came to a pause for a while. However, in addition to him, the other party involved in the incident, Zheng Longwang, has never given up over the years and has been looking for the traitors of that year.
Now I finally have a whereabouts!
He Hanzhu's eyes moved slightly and asked for details. He was told that the person was sent by Wang Niqiu himself. Now they were outside the city, so he drove over immediately.
There was a wilderness outside the suburbs. When the genius was dawn, passers-by disappeared. A mule cart was parked on the side of the road. Wang Niqiu was exhausted and brought a few subordinates who were dressed in short dress like him and were waiting on the side of the road. He saw a car galloping from a distance and finally parked opposite him. A tall and thin man got out of the car. He recognized it as He Hanzhu and immediately met him.
"Commander He!" Wang Niqiu bowed and bowed with a very respectful attitude. He Hanzhu stepped forward quickly, held his arm, and worked hard for him to lead people to the road overnight.
Wang Niqiu didn't care and said with a smile: "We are different from Commander He. We are born to travel around the world, but we only have two days to travel. What's the hard work! Commander He is kind."
He Hanzhu asked about Zheng Longwang's recent situation. Wang Niqiu said, "I ask you to have the blessing of Young Master Su. The boss is in good health and everything is well. If you find someone, you are afraid of delaying your affairs, so you will send it to you immediately."
He glanced at the mule cart and then told He Hanzhu that after their preliminary interrogation, the traitor who killed Zheng Jiangye was because he was in his thirties at the time and died of old age twenty years ago. Now he was caught by his son surnamed Yu.
"Betrayed the general, and killed the earth, and it was cheaper for the old dog. Fortunately, the puppy was caught! This is not a good cub. Old Master He's case back then was ruined by this puppy! He hid it well and opened an escort agency over the years. He was honest, but maybe he couldn't find it anymore. People were not satisfied with their hearts and snakes swallowed elephants. They were still thinking about getting rich, and they took out escorts as a guitar and took a few people everywhere to search for places. They were digging up some cellars. Isn't this a dead end?"
His subordinates opened the car door, and a sack inside, untied the bag, revealing a middle-aged man with a big tying mouth in his mouth. The man had a hang-out eyebrows and triangular eyes. His face was not good, but at this moment, his face was as gray as a frightened bird. The two gazes that came to He Hanzhu showed a look of fear.
"I'll leave the person to Commander He. My brothers and I will say goodbye first. When we go back, we will have to submit an assignment to the Dragon King."
Wang Niqiu politely rejected He Hanzhu's invitation to leave Xiao Xie, and was about to take his men away. Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something. Looking at He Hanzhu, he wanted to say something but stopped, as if he was talking but couldn't speak.
He Hanzhu had some understanding and whispered: "I'll let the third boss go back and tell the Dragon King that Young Master Su is doing well here, she is busy doing things..."
He paused.
"I will take good care of her, so please don't worry about the Dragon King."
Zheng Longwang naturally did not ask Wang Niqiu to inquire about this, but Wang Niqiu looked rough and delicate. After seeing the young master of the Su family left, the Dragon King asked someone to leave the house she lived in and did not use it any other way. If you have any trouble, you often go around the door and know that he was worried. I just remembered it and wanted to ask this, but I didn't know how to speak. After hearing this, I laughed and bowed to He Hanzhu, took the man on the horse, and roared away.
He Hanzhu watched his group disappear at the end of the road and ordered the leopard to take the people back.
On that day, in a dark dungeon in the headquarters, He Hanzhu personally interrogated the man named Yu Yichun.
When this person first fell into Wang Niqiu's hands, he refused to admit his identity. He insisted that he had recognized the wrong person and knew nothing. Later, he was tortured and could not stand it. Finally, he admitted his identity. Now he knew that he had fallen into the hands of descendants of the He family. In order to survive, he dared not hide it. He Hanzhu asked whatever he asked, and he said it very well.
According to Yu Yichun, his father, the subordinate of General Zheng, committed suicide. After General Zheng committed suicide, he was only appointed as a sesame official by the Qing court. Seeing that he did not have the wealth and wealth he had imagined, he knew that the people in the siege were not killed. He was worried that he would be chased and revenge in the future, so he resigned and fled, found a place to hide. When the limelight gradually passed, he sneaked back to the area where King Yi was active, and changed his appearance, got married and had children. On the surface, he was honest in his life, but in fact he had other plans.
Most people's hearts cannot escape the word "greed". In the next few decades, he relied on martial arts to run a small martial arts hall on the surface, took in a few disciples, and made a living for others. He kept searching for the cellar in secret, but unfortunately he had nothing to find. Later, he died of illness and old age. Before he died, he told his son about the secret of the cellar.
Yu Yichun is also a greedy person. He dreams of being rich overnight, so he naturally continues to search for it, but he still finds nothing. More than ten years ago, the martial arts hall suddenly suffered a lawsuit, and his subordinates scattered birds and beasts. Just when he was at a loss, one day, a stranger suddenly came, and pointed him in a clear way, asking him to go to the capital to find a man named Lu Hongda.
"...The man told me that Lu Hongda was a high-ranking official. Now he had a mortal enemy named He. He wanted to get rid of the other party, but he couldn't find any evidence. He also said that the man named He had a personal relationship with General Zheng and knew the secret of the cellar. He asked me to tell Lu Hongda about this matter, and then be a witness as an insider on that day, and he would get a large reward."
When Yu Yichun said this, he looked at the descendant of the He family opposite with a gloomy expression and swallowed uneasy: "I was desperate at that time, so I looked over with the idea of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Lu Hongda actually saw me. I made a certificate, took a reward from Lu Hongda, and stayed for him to do things. A few months later, one day, the person who had found me before suddenly came again and told me that there was something to ask me to go out of the city to discuss. At that time, I also heard that the He family was confiscated by the court. The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more scared. I was worried that the man would not be good to me, so I ran away on the pretext of going to the cottage..."
"Who is this person looking for you?" He Hanzhu interrupted the narrative and asked directly.
Yu Yichun shook his head: "I have never seen that person before, but it's strange that he seems to know everything about me and my father. I was afraid of running away because I thought of this. I don't know how he came to me at the beginning, and I never saw anyone again."
Yu Yichun knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed constantly, shouting to spare his life: "Give me aside. I was in a lawsuit at that time, and I was really desperate. It was that person who asked me to find Lu Hongda. I was fooled by that person..."
He Hanzhu took out a photo and asked him to recognize it. It was an old man with a majestic appearance and deep eyes. Yu Yichun shook his head and said he didn't look like it. He Hanzhu took another photo. Yu Yichun glanced at the person above and immediately pointed at the person above and shouted: "Yes, this person is this person! A round face and a short neck! I have seen it twice, and I will not admit my mistake!"
The photo is not someone else, it is Tong Guofeng and Mrs. Wang’s brother.
The leopard, who was together, quickly looked at He Hanzhu, saw that he had turned around and strode out.
Leopard then followed, stopped outside the tightly closed door of the office, and hesitated for a moment.
He is a member of the He family. To be precise, his father was a entourage officer next to the old man. He also started working from the side since he was sixteen. This is a position of a confidant, and he does not avoid it inside and outside, so he also knows some things.
During his lifetime of being an official, the old master naturally had to be a disciple and an old subordinate. Wang Xiaokun's father was the deputy who followed the old master for the longest time and was promoted and recommended by the outstanding ability. In the year before the He family's accident, Wang Xiaokun's father served as the general of the new army because of the old master's recommendation. This was a position of real power, and the court was training the new army at that time, and his future was unlimited. But unexpectedly, an accident happened later.
Wang Xiaokun's father was sued to the old man and showed evidence that he used his power to embezzle military spending for his own use. The evidence was conclusive.
The water is clear, there will be no fish. The old man is strict with himself and honest all his life, but he also knows this truth. In addition, the officialdom is so habitual that the court urgently needs talents. Some things can be passed, but the number involved is too large and very shocking. This angered the old man, and he was disappointed and angry. The prince's father arrived quickly when he heard the news, cried bitterly and expressed regret, and repeatedly apologized for guilt, begging for forgiveness, hoping to give him a chance to correct his mistakes.
After the old man severely rebuked him, he finally thought of his old love and did not go into it. He only had a limited time to make up for the greedy silver, and he would not be the case. The prince agreed at that time and left gratefully.
