Chapter 196 Yuan's Former Official
When he returned to the city, Han Gou and Wang Xiu announced the news of Kong Rong's death to the public.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Xiahou An Langzi is ambitious and has resentment when he fails to extort. He kills the horse and flees to Duchang. When we arrive, the county magistrate has already...
When he told the "truth of the matter", Wang Xiu choked and burst into tears.
Most people were in the rhythm area and suddenly became hot and they all shouted to avenge Kong Rong.
"It's because the county magistrate was still treating him so kindly before. Unexpectedly, Mr. Dongguo saved the wolf and repaid his grudges!"
"The county magistrate treats me very well on weekdays. Now that I am killed, how can I sit back and watch? I must seek justice and make a comeback for the county magistrate!"
"Yes, seek justice!"
"I will never tolerate evildoers!"
Everyone said it one by one, and soon the crowd was excited.
Wang Xiu, who pretended to wipe his tears, laughed in his heart. This was exactly the result he wanted.
However, some people also thought that something was strange and came out to defend Xiahou An: "Xiahou An is open-minded and unrestrained, unlike such a treacherous and slandered person. It was General Han, who ignored the safety of the county magistrate and tried to kill Xiahou An, which was really suspicious..."
"What did you say!"
Han Gou, who was stepped on to hurt his feet, shouted loudly, trying to cover up his guilt.
Other officials criticized this: "At this time, you are still looking at outsiders. Have you forgotten the county magistrate's cultivation of you?"
The man said, "I just don't want to be used as a gun."
Seeing that the two sides became more and more quarrels, Wang Xiu mediated like a good man: "You don't need to argue. We are kind to the county magistrate. Now the county magistrate dies in vain. We should find out the truth and severely punish the real murderer! If you don't believe me, you can send someone to call Xiahou An to confront the court, for fear that he is guilty and dare not come!"
Wang Xiu said it was tough, but he had another plan in his heart. As long as Xiahou An dared to come, he would never give him a chance to escape.
Everyone thought it was feasible, but in case of precautions, they asked Han Gou to lead the troops. If Xiahou An was guilty of being a thief, he would arrest him for interrogation.
In this way, Han Gou was exactly what he wanted to destroy Xiahou's bones and ashes.
Without further ado, the next morning, Han Gou ordered his troops and led his troops to Duchang.
Before leaving, Wang Xiu, who came to see him off, whispered: "General, let go, I have written a memorial. I believe that I will be able to submit it to Datians soon. When you come back from killing the thief, the imperial edict of the court should arrive."
Han Gou, who was riding on the horse, looked happy and believed it deeply.
After all, the person who really killed Kong Rong was Wang Xiu. If he dared to betray him, he would be able to reveal the truth immediately. By then, Wang Xiu would be ruined and everyone would be beaten. So for now, he was the grasshopper on the same rope, and no one could leave behind.
However, Wang Xiu didn't think so. After sending Han Gou away, he returned to his residence and wrote a secret letter in the room.
However, this letter is not a memorial for Han Gou to seek merit and reward, but a request for Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the Yuan family in the Guardian of Qingzhou Prefecture, to take over Beihai.
Everyone knows that he is the chief clerk of Beihai, but few people know his other identity, the former official of the Yuan family.
With the kindness of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is now even more talented and has a strong and stubborn place. He has countless capable ministers and generals under his command, and is ambitious to the states.
As early as when the Eighteenth Route Army was fighting against Dong, Wang Xiu, who accompanied Kong Rong, had already secretly colluded with Yuan Shao.
Now, Yuan Shao intends to plan for Qingzhou and sends his eldest son Yuan Tan to Qi smoothly under the banner of "expelling thieves". Wang Xiu, who secretly exchanges intelligence, naturally wants to show off and make a lot of money.
Beihai is an important town in Qingzhou. If you want to visit Beihai, Xiahou An must be a difficult bone to crack. Therefore, Wang Xiu thought of clearing the obstacles in advance and giving Yuan Shao a big gift.
As for Han Gou, no matter whether he wins or not, he will be abandoned after returning.
After the letter was written, Wang Xiu called his confidant and ordered him to send him to Qingzhou quickly.
The storm in Beihai County is coming.
Xiahou An, who had escaped back to Duchang, just arrived at the city, and was recognized by Cao Chun, who was sitting in the city tower. It was only a few days before, and it was just like this when it came back and forth.
"Why are you back so soon?" Cao Chun asked curiously.
When talking about this, Xiahou An was very upset and waved his hand impatiently: "Don't mention it, let this old boy Kong Rong make a move!"
At this time, he didn't know that Kong Rong had already met the 24th generation of the Han Dynasty's late emperors.
After entering the city, Xiahou An first inspected the military camp. Others were unreliable, and only this was the trump card to save his life.
Xu Rong and others also asked one after another whether something happened if they would come back so soon?
Xiahou An was too lazy to explain one by one, so he summoned everyone in the account and told the whole story.
When all the generals heard this, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
"This Kong Rong is a guardian of the country, and the famous scholars in the country are completely unintentional. He actually uses this little trick. It is really shameless!"
"It looks like a human being, and it is a saint!"
"Brother, just ask me to take someone to the county town and capture Kong Rong alive to apologize to you. From now on, the eldest brother will be the governor of Beihai County!"
Xiahou Jie has the biggest voice.
This guy was stubborn and felt that his eldest brother was bullied. He, the younger brother, must go and find the place.
Xiahou An waved his hand and asked the generals to calm down first. Now is not the time to fight, and the development of Duchang City has just begun. If he only attacked Kong Rong because of personal grudges, he would not only not be recognized by the world, but the soldiers recruited under his command might not be willing to do his best.
If you cannot take the initiative to attack, you can only temporarily passively defend.
Xiahou An explained to Xu Rong: "As these days, you must practice hard and be sure to train me a elite soldier who can fight and kill in a short time!"
Regardless of whether Kong Rong will settle the score after the autumn, he will be prepared for it first.
"The last general will receive the order!"
Xu Rong answered loudly.
Among all the generals, he was the one who longed for battle the most. Since joining Xiahou An, he has not made any achievements yet, and it has been too long since he heard the voices about him in the world.
After giving instructions to Xu Rong, Xiahou An told others that everyone should know about this matter and do not reveal it to avoid rumors. They should do whatever they should return to their posts, and they should not be under psychological pressure.
Everyone nodded to show their awareness.
After the generals left, Xiahou An leaned tiredly in his seat and took a nap, but he had a rare dream. He dreamed that when spring was in full bloom, the colorful cherry blossoms in Duchang City were coming and going, with happy and enthusiastic smiles on his face...
He thought to himself, it would be fine to survive this year.
However, just three days later, the soldiers guarding the city came to report that a large number of soldiers and horses appeared under the city, clamoring to ask Xiahou'an to leave the city.
Xiahou An was relieved after hearing the news and guessed a little.
When he left, Kong Rong, the old guy, vowed to give himself an explanation. Now it seems that it is all farts. You just explained it to me like that?
