After Han Laiyu said goodbye to Li Zhen, he went to the Shangshu Mansion. He stayed at the Mansion to discuss some matters with Guiliang, and then returned to the palace with his entourage and went straight to the Yangxin Hall.
Xianfeng raised his head and asked with a smile: "Have you sent me away?"
Han Laiyu bowed respectfully and replied unhurriedly: "Reporting to the emperor, I have already sent Admiral Li away. However, on the way to send Admiral Li away from Beijing, I encountered something difficult."
"Oh, something happened."
Xianfeng's eyes lit up and he was particularly curious.
Han Laiyu arched his back slightly and said slowly: "On the way I sent Admiral Li away, I met more than twenty men in black. These men in black came to intercept and kill Admiral Li. They were very menacing and scary. Fortunately, the soldiers under Admiral Li's command Extremely powerful, he captured all the more than 20 men in black who intercepted him."
Han Laiyu was afraid that Xianfeng would not believe it, so he continued: "At that time, Master Guiliang and the Dongcheng Shishisi of Prince Duanjun's Mansion were also nearby. They saw the assassins coming with their own eyes. After the assassins were captured, they were handed over to Master Guiliang for his temporary custody. ."
Xianfeng's eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Who, who is so bold to intercept and kill Li Zhen? Go find Guiliang and ask him to interrogate you carefully to find out who wants to assassinate my beloved general."
Han Laiyu immediately said: "Your Majesty, when I was caught, the results of the interrogation were already out."
Xianfeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?"
Han Laiyu had a faint smile on his face and said slowly: "Actually, the emperor also knows about this person. It was Bede who bribed the assassin to assassinate Admiral Li."
"Snapped."
Xianfeng slapped Long An and cursed: "Asshole, is he going to rebel?"
With a full voice full of anger, he shouted in a deep voice: "This unworthy fool actually wants to destroy my great cause of suppressing bandits. He is simply asking for death. Han Laiyu, please go to Beide's house immediately and send an edict to death for Beide. Since he doesn't want to live, Well, let me help him and let him die early, so that he will not stay in the world and harm other people."
Han Laiyu did not leave and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate."
Xianfeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Han Laiyu explained: "Reporting to the emperor, if Beide is alone and does not have this relationship with Master Duhan, it doesn't matter if he kills him. It is just the death of a fool. But Beide is the son-in-law of Master Duhan. Killing Beide De will definitely make Du Han's daughter Du a widow. Lord Du Han will feel uncomfortable. The emperor is Lord Du's disciple, and Du Han is Lord Du's son. You and Lord Du Han are still brothers in name. If the emperor If you kill Bede, the relationship between the two parties will become tense."
Xianfeng said coldly: "The king is a minister. Although he is a brother, he is also a king and a minister. Du Han blindly found such a son-in-law. He deserves to be unlucky. I helped him kill Bede to help him escape and avoid suffering in the future. If I can tolerate the assassination of important officials of the imperial court, how can I govern the world?"
Han Laiyu thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, why don't you tell Lord Du the news first so that Lord Du can be mentally prepared, otherwise I will kill Bede directly. If Lord Du cannot accept it and becomes angry, it will be bad for his health. What do you think?"
Xianfeng's eyes were cold and he said seriously: "Han Laiyu, you think about Du Han in everything, do you accept any money?"
"Your Majesty, this servant is wronged."
Han Laiyu turned pale with fright, knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said: "I and Master Guiliang once went to Guangzhou together to deliver the decree, and also participated in Admiral Li's wedding. I was also acquainted with Admiral Li. Now that Admiral Li has been assassinated, the servant's heart I also want to kill Bede to vent my anger, but the slave is the emperor's servant. I have to share the emperor's worries and think about the emperor. Mr. Du is the emperor's right-hand man. He is also an old man. If he is suddenly frightened, there are two advantages and two disadvantages. , it’s not good for the emperor.”
After hearing this, Xianfeng's face improved slightly and said, "Get up."
Han Laiyu stood up, but did not dare to speak.
Xianfeng waved his hand and said: "Go ahead and tell Du Han your will first, and then kill Bede tomorrow."
"twitter."
Han Laiyu immediately agreed and quickly left the Yangxin Hall.
He stood outside the door of Yangxin Hall, looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a look of joy appeared on his face. Just imagine what Du Han would do if he knew Xianfeng's will first.
He admired Guiliang's calculations and thought he had found a good backer.
All of this is under Guiliang's control.
Han Laiyu left the palace and came to Du Mansion to announce the decree.
Because the imperial edict was being read out, Du Han and his family came out to greet him, including Bede's wife Du Shi. Han Laiyu read out the story of Bede's assassination of Li Zhen, and finally told Xianfeng's decree to kill Bede, then turned and left. In the Du Mansion, Du Han received the imperial edict in a daze and froze on the spot. It took him a long time to react and yelled: "You evil beast, you evil beast."
Mrs. Du ran to Du Han and choked with sobs: "Dad, you must save him. If he is sentenced to death, my daughter will not live." She shook her fat body and kept begging Du Han, trying to get Du Han to do it. John came to the rescue.
Du Han flicked his sleeves and said in a cold voice: "How can we save him? That villain actually went to assassinate Li Zhen. He is simply seeking death. Doesn't he know that Li Zhen is an important minister of the imperial court? Doesn't he know that this is a capital crime?"
Du said: "What if he didn't ask someone to assassinate him? Only you can save him, please."
Du Han ordered: "Come here and find that evil beast."
The housekeeper immediately went to invite Bede. About half an hour later, Bede appeared in Du Mansion. He saw Du Shi burst into tears, and then looked at Du Han, whose face was ashen. His heart skipped a beat, and he wondered what happened. What happened, however, he still walked up to Du Han and bowed obediently, saying: "Father-in-law, what do you want to see my son-in-law for?"
"You bastard, you didn't tell the truth about Li Zhen's assassination when it came to light."
Du Han looked serious and shouted loudly.
There was an explosion in Bede's mind, and he felt blank for an instant. He took two steps back, unable to stand firm. His legs gave out and he fell directly to the ground. Bede had a surprised look on his face and his eyes were dripping. He turned around and shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, I didn't. I didn't assassinate Li Zhen. I didn't find anyone to assassinate Li Zhen."
Duhan saw Bede's expression in his eyes, and he was already convinced that Bede would hire someone to assassinate him.
This matter must have something to do with Bede.
Du Han glanced at his daughter, whose eyes were red from crying, and sighed in his heart.
How could his daughter fall in love with this incompetent fool?
Du Han said in a deep voice: "You evil beast, you are still stubborn now. I tell you that all the people you hired to assassinate Li Zhen have been arrested. The emperor already knows about this and has decreed that you should be put to death." Someone will deliver the order tomorrow. If you explain it honestly and clearly, I can think of a way. If you are stubborn, you will only be sentenced to death."
Bede yelled: "No, I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
He looked at Du Shi eagerly, hoping that this was not true.
However, when he saw Du's expression, his heart became completely cold. He was already sure that Du Han's words were true. Beide was frightened and crawled to Du Han in twos and twos, crying and begging: "Father-in-law, you must save me." Save me, my son-in-law was obsessed for a while and thought of hiring someone to assassinate Li Zhen. I originally thought that the news would not be leaked, but I didn’t expect that others would find out."
"If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself."
Du Han was disappointed. He was completely disappointed with his son-in-law. He said coldly: "What a good thing you have done. You are such a fool. You actually want to assassinate Li Zhen."
Du Shi cried and begged: "Dad, Bede cannot die, you must save him."
Bede begged repeatedly, wanting to keep his name.
However, Du Han's heart was as stone and he was not affected at all.
Du Shi touched her belly and gritted her teeth and said: "Dad, my daughter is already pregnant with Bede's child. If he dies, the child will be born without a father. You are the emperor's senior brother and a close confidant of the emperor. As long as you go and persuade Emperor, we can definitely make him take his life back, so please help him and don’t let him be killed.”
When Bede heard that Du Shi was pregnant, a flash of joy flashed in his heart.
Immediately, he was replaced by fear again and said: "Father-in-law, you helped a bunch of sons-in-law. I don't want to die. From now on, I will change my mind and be a new person. I will never do those things that bully the good and bully the good again." Recklessly."
Du Han sighed, looked at his daughter whose eyes were red from crying, and stared at Bede with a look of disgust. What evil had he done in his previous life to meet such a son-in-law?
Whatever, whatever.
Du Han sighed repeatedly and said, "I will show off my old face and go to the palace to intercede for you."
"Thank you dad."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Du Shi and Bede kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude, and both of them became hopeful.
Du Han went back to his room and changed into court clothes, wearing an official hat and court beads, and left Du Mansion step by step. He sat in the sedan chair, still sighing in his heart. At this time, what he was thinking about was to die. The reason why Bede's will did not come to Bede's hands first, but to him instead.
This order is obviously wrong.
After he got the news, once Du asked for mercy, it would be impossible for him not to take action due to family ties.
At this time, he thought of Guiliang.
Guiliang knew his character thoroughly and knew that he would not stand idly by, so he persuaded the emperor to let him know first, and then he went to the emperor to plead with him, which made the emperor hate him and even lost his trust.
At this moment, Du Han secretly scolded the old thief Guiliang for being cunning.
At the same time, Du Han also secretly cursed Bede as a fool for actually doing such a thing. Du Han's sedan stopped outside Bauhinia City. He got off the sedan and entered the palace to meet the saint.
Two hours later, Du Han walked out of the Forbidden City.
At this time, Du Han's back was no longer straight, but had become slightly bent. His face was much haggard, with a sense of desolation. He was sitting in the sedan, thinking about the time when he met Xianfeng before, and his heart was bleeding. Although he was He saved De's life, and from then on the brotherhood between him and the emperor disappeared.
The emperor did not kill Bede and still owed Li Zhen and Guiliang.
Guiliang made a lot of money from this incident and completely lost his right to speak in front of the emperor.
