The next day, He Ran finished his official duties and walked to the front yard. He went from room to room to inspect the staff members who were working. When he entered a side room, he saw Huang Juan and two staff members having a heated conversation.
Seeing the military advisor come in, the three of them hurriedly stood up and saluted, all looking ashamed. Chatting during office hours was against the law, and they didn't expect to be caught by the military advisor by such a coincidence.
He Ran asked: "What are we talking about?"
Huang Juan took a step forward and rushed to say: "It's the fault of the lower official. It's none of your business. I'm asking them for advice on the new policy."
He Ran smiled and said: "It's not a fault to explain the New Deal to you." After that, he turned to the two people: "You have finished the work at hand. If there is nothing else at hand, just continue to explain it to her." [
The two men grinned and said in unison: "I'm going to go do some business right now." After saying that, they hurriedly left.
Huang Juan looked a little embarrassed and said again: "It was my fault. Please don't punish them. I am willing to accept the punishment."
He Ran smiled kindly and said: "Didn't I just say, don't worry, I won't punish them, it's nothing."
Huang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and saluted, "Thank you, Sir."
He said in a joking tone: "Actually, if you want to ask about the New Deal, just ask me. Why don't you ask the famous teachers if they don't want to vote?"
"Your Majesty is busy with your affairs, how can I dare to disturb you?"
He Ran laughed and said: "You are wrong about this. You see, I am already wandering around, so what is there to do?"
Huang Wei didn't believe it: "Sir, you are joking. You are the leader of the three armies, so there is no reason why you should not be busy."
He Ran pointed outward with his hand and whispered: "Because I have assigned all the affairs to them. It is enough to have them busy. Besides, I have given most of the affairs in the army to the general."
Huang Juan covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "If that's true, then I'll start to believe your self-proclaimed laziness."
He Ran pretended to be sad and said: "It's too clean, but now it's a bit busy."
Huang Juan smiled even more charmingly and said, "I thought you were so busy every day? But it turns out..."
He Ran said confidently: "This is what a military advisor should be like. If you have to be involved in tedious affairs all the time, you will never have time to think about big plans. That is putting the cart before the horse."
"Well, no." Huang Wei responded seriously, but her beautiful smiling eyes were full of sarcasm.
He Ran was amused by her expression, a vague ambiguity lingering in the air like silk.
Huang Juan lowered her head, her pretty face gradually started to heat up, she was embarrassed but unwilling to leave.
He Ran's heart also jumped. Although Huang Juan's beauty moved his heart, what made him like her even more was her extremely intellectual look and speech. In his previous words, she looked like nothing. .
He was just trying to find something to say to break the embarrassment in front of him, when Honggan reported outside: "Reporting to the military advisor, someone is complaining outside the gate of the mansion."
He Ran said displeasedly: "Stupid, let him go to the government office, I don't have time to take care of this." [
Hong Quan said outside: "That's how we dismissed it, but he said that only the military adviser can redress this injustice, and others are incapable of taking care of it."
"Who is he suing?" He Ran asked casually.
"Zhao Min."
He Ran couldn't help but laugh and said: "This government office is responsible for handling the case. Bring him in. I would like to ask him what grievances he has."
Huang Juan came up and resigned.
He Ran said: "It's not a confidential matter, so just fill in the case book and record a confession."
Huang Juan smiled and borrowed banknotes from the room next to her. As soon as she was ready, Hong An brought a well-dressed father-in-law over.
He Ran sat in the middle and asked, "What crime do you want to accuse Zhao Min of?"
The father-in-law took out a piece of paper and handed it to Hong Wan, then bowed and said: "I hope the military advisor will do justice to the little old man, so as to comfort the humiliated souls of my son and daughter-in-law."
He Ran took the paper and looked at it carefully, but it turned out that the father-in-law was the father of Marquis Yu Yang. Marquis Yu Yang was awarded a title for his military merits, so the father-in-law combined with the title. He was suing Zhao Kui, and Zhao Min successively occupied his daughter-in-law. .
He Ran passed the paper to Huang Juan who was sitting at the table, and said to the old man: "I have heard about what Zhao Kui did. What happened to Zhao Min is true."
The old father-in-law trembled slightly with excitement, and beat his chest and said: "The little old man said a lie on his face. After that bastard Zhao Kui died, my in-laws and I thought that the poor boy had finally made it through, so we went to the palace to ask for someone, but we couldn't. Unexpectedly, they refused to let her go. Later, the little old man got the news through the police. It turned out that Zhao Min had occupied my daughter-in-law again. After hearing the news, my in-laws became very angry and died. What a beast! What a nest. What a beast! I have pity on my son who has shed blood on the battlefield for his Zhao family, but his wife has been occupied by two foolish kings. Please make the decision for the little old man, Master Military Advisor!"
He Ran couldn't laugh or cry. Marquis Yu Yang was burned to death by his own fire in front of the Cangxian Valley. He was an enemy of Yi State, but now his father came here to ask him to avenge Yu Yanghou and his wife. This is really What a confusing account.
"You confirm that the body found in the palace is that of your daughter-in-law."
The father-in-law affirmed: "It's absolutely true. Although the face was chopped to pieces, the fire did not burn there. The body is intact. My mother-in-law checked the birthmark on her body and confirmed that it was wrong. If you don't believe it, you can call her in immediately for questioning." Is she waiting outside the mansion?"
He Ran didn't have that spare time, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, I accept your accusation. If Zhao Min is captured, I will allow you to set up a memorial ceremony for your son and daughter-in-law at the execution ground."
"Thank you, strategist. Thank you, strategist. I don't know when the army will be dispatched to capture the thieves! We can't let this beast enjoy the freedom!" The old man looked very urgent.
"Well... we can't say for sure. We haven't found out where Zhao Min is hiding yet. Moreover, the army's actions must be judged according to the time and situation. But don't worry, I will definitely avenge this injustice for you, because Zhao Min and I also have vengeance to avenge. Since I have accepted this, you should stop going around complaining and just wait at home." He said and winked at Hong'an.
The old man wanted to continue talking, but Hong An stepped forward and persuaded him to go out.
He Ran walked to Huang Juan's case, picked up the piece of paper, tore it up and threw it aside.
Huang Jing let out a sigh of relief and said: "If this matter is true, Zhao Min really has a human face and a beast's heart."
He Ran smiled noncommittally and said: "Perhaps that woman is too beautiful."[
Huang Wei blurted out angrily: "What are you talking about? Do you deserve to be insulted because you are beautiful? Their brothers are all kings!"
He Ran raised his palms to signal her to calm down and said: "Do you remember what I told you last night? When the power is so great that there is no restraint, it is difficult for people to discipline themselves. In fact, most kings are worse than beasts. This case The matter is nothing at all. If Zhao Min had not lost power, this matter would have been covered up tightly. None of these people dared to speak out, and they could only bring a belly of grievances and resentment into the coffin. Even if Zhao Min did something like a beast, Zhao Min You can also be his wise king in a glorious way."
Huang Jing knew that what he said was the truth, so she sighed helplessly and asked, "Why do you want to cover up Zhao Min's shame and not allow them to publicize this matter anymore?"
He Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not answer.
"Say it." Huang Wei urged, her tone and demeanor already showing intimacy.
"I don't care about this additional crime in killing Zhao Min. Besides...she is already dead. Why let those frivolous people talk about it? The beautiful lady ended up like this..." He shook his head at this point and stopped talking. .
Huang Huan glanced at him sideways and said teasingly: "Your Excellency, you really don't have the reputation of cherishing flowers. You even care for the dead."
He Ran awkwardly changed the subject and said: "I just mentioned her yesterday. I didn't want to hear the news of her death so soon. I thought she had left Zhao Palace a long time ago?"
"Zhao Min is really stupid." She fiddled with the brush in her hand, her tone full of regret.
"Why did you say such a thing suddenly?" He Ran asked puzzledly.
Huang Wei said seriously: "Isn't it true? If you have a good retreat strategy, you will not know how to use it, but you will run away in a hurry."
"Oh." He Ran waited with interest for her to continue.
"Major General, there is no need to worry about the lack of troops. As long as Mrs. Yu Yanghou rides alone at Qulanjun with bare hands, she will definitely be able to make it difficult for the army of Yi State's magical strategist to advance. How many men and horses can be saved to reinforce the northern front? Ah! Even if I can't turn defeat into victory, I can at least hold on until my wife is old and lose her beauty! It will be ten or twenty years at least." She looked serious, her tone and expression were serious.
He Ran was so amused that he laughed loudly and said: "Why use Mrs. Yu Yanghou? If the second lady doesn't surrender and stands alone in front of Yushuitan Village, my army will be unable to move at all."
Huang Juan's pretty face turned red and she gave him a shy and resentful look.
He Ran knew he was talking too much, but he couldn't take it back, so he had to laugh a few times, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.
