Chapter 251: Raging for the crown and becoming a beauty (2)
On the fifth day after Xiahou Lan left Yecheng, she took the Yuan brothers back to Yecheng.
Han Zhan was overjoyed when he saw the arrival of the Yuan brothers. However, he knew that he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he did not rush to ask Yuan Xi to write a letter of departure, but arranged the two in the backyard to entertain them with delicious food and drink.
As soon as the Yuan brothers arrived in Yecheng, they realized in their hearts that their father had been defeated by Han Zhan and had now become a betrayal dog, and no one knew where to go. Seeing Han Zhan treat him so politely, the two felt very uneasy.
Yuan Tan found a chance without anyone and asked Yuan Xi: "Second brother, what did you say that Han Ting Hou brought us from Jizhou to Yecheng?"
Although the Yuan brothers had always been disagreement before, they were locked up by Han Zhan in the prison in Jizhou. Over time, the relationship between the brothers became harmonious. Yuan Xi heard Yuan Tan asking himself, shook his head, spread his hands and said, "Brother, I am always with you all day long. If you don't know, where can I know?"
Yuan Tan looked up at the roof and said in confusion: "I don't kill you, and I don't let you go. I just put my brothers under house arrest in the backyard of the provincial governor's mansion. What exactly is Han Tinghou going to do?"
Just as the two brothers were guessing Han Zhan’s concerns, Han Zhan was in the meeting hall and discussed with Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others to ask Yuan Xi to write a letter of divorce, and then go to Zhen’s house to propose marriage.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "As long as the lord cut off the Yuan brothers, it will be the same if he has a letter of breaking the engagement and goes to the Zhen family to propose marriage."
When Zhao Yun heard Guo Jia advised Han Zhan to kill the Yuan brothers, he couldn't help but look at Han Zhan nervously, and secretly guessed in his heart whether his sworn brother would obey Mr. Guo's persuasion and kill the Yuan brothers with one blow.
Fortunately, the things he was worried about were not born. After hearing Guo Jia's words, Han Zhan just shook his head and said, "Yuan Benchu is now a toothless tiger and can no longer pose any threat to us. Even if I return both sons to him, he can't make any waves. Why do you need to dirty our hands for these two people?"
"Lord, benevolence and righteousness!" As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, Zhao Yun quickly stood up and flattered him: "If you are willing to let go of the Yuan brothers, I believe Yuan Benchu will definitely be grateful to you."
"General Zilong." When he heard Zhao Yun call his lord, Han Zhan was also tactful and did not call the other party the eldest brother, but asked in an official voice: "When do you think Yuan Xi can write a letter of breaking the engagement?"
Before Zhao Yun could answer, Chen Dao suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside and reported to Han Zhan: "Report to the lord, General Dian Wei has returned from the patrol, and has also brought an envoy from Chenliu."
"The envoy from Chenliu?" When Han Zhan heard this place name, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He quickly ordered Chen Dao: "Come General Dian Wei and the envoy Chen Liu here to talk."
After Chen Dao turned around and left, Han Zhan looked at Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and frowned and said, "Zilong, Fengxiao, tell me why Zhang Miao suddenly sent someone to come? Something happened to Zhao Ji?"
"The lord is worried too much." Guo Jia smiled and said, "Maybe Zhang Miao heard that the lord took Yecheng, because he was afraid that your next target would be him, so he sent someone to show kindness."
When Han Zhan heard Guo Jia say this, he nodded and said something indifferently: "I hope so."
Not long after, Chen Dao brought Dian Wei and Chang Lin to the conference hall.
Dian Wei first stepped forward to salute Han Zhan and said, "I will meet the lord in the end!"
"General Dian Wei is exempted from the gift!" Han Zhan glanced at Chang Lin behind Dian Wei, and now he was a strange face. He asked with a smile: "This is an envoy from Chenliu, I don't know what to call him?"
"Chenliu's chief clerk Chang Lin." Chang Lin heard Han Zhan ask him, and hurried forward to salute: "See Marquis Ting!"
"Changzhu Chang's resignation!" Han Zhan waved his hand to Chang Lin and asked in a polite and estranged tone: "I wonder what your Grandpa Zhang sent you here?"
"It turns out it's Mr. Bo Huai." Guo Jia heard Chang Lin's name report, and quickly got up and saluted the other party, and said politely: "Guo Jia, Yingchuan, have met Mr.
"It turned out to be Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao," Chang Lin learned that the counselor sitting next to Han Zhan was Guo Jia, who was quite famous in Yingchuan, and couldn't help but feel respect: "Chang once heard that Fengxiao was a talented and strategic plan. A strange man in the world. When he saw him today, he was indeed very arrogant."
After Han Zhan patiently waited for the two of them to praise each other, he asked again: "Chenzhuan, I wonder what you are doing when you come to Yecheng today?"
"When you go back to the Marquis of Ting," Chang Lin stepped forward, bowed to Han Zhan again, and said respectfully: "I am here to come to Yecheng, and I am apology from the Marquis of Ting."
"Ask a guilty, what crime?" Han Zhan finished saying this with a smile, and immediately realized that it might be something he was worried about, so he suddenly stood up from his seat, quickly walked to Chang Lin, and asked nervously: "Is it that something happened to Miss Cai?"
When Chang Lin saw Han Zhan guessed his purpose at once, he thought it was Guo Jia who analyzed it for him. But when he glanced at Guo Jia quickly, he saw that the other party was also shocked, and then he realized that it was Han Zhan who guessed it. He nodded quickly and replied: "Ms. Cai was kidnapped two days ago. Although Prefect Zhang sent someone to search, the thief was too cunning and still had no trace at this moment."
"Chenzhen's chief clerk," Han Zhan couldn't help but blood surged up his head after learning that Cai Yan had an accident. He grabbed Chang Lin's clothes and said excitedly: "Let me tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Chang Lin carefully pulled out his clothes from Han Zhan's hand, and then replied carefully: "A few days ago, an old friend of Prefect Zhang came to visit and said he wanted to pay homage to Shizhong Cai, but the guards at the entrance of the cemetery made things difficult for him. He hoped that Prefect Zhang could remove the guards so that more people could pay homage to Shizhong Cai. Prefect Zhang was bewitched by this person for a while and ordered people to remove the guards at the entrance of the cemetery. Who knew that Miss Cai disappeared strangely that night. We guessed that it must be the old friend of Prefect Zhang, so we sent people to search outside the city, but there was no news."
As the saying goes, the authorities are confused by the bystanders. Just when Han Zhan seems restless because of Cai Yan's disappearance, Guo Jia, who is still calm, asked the most critical question: "Chang Bohuai, dare to ask Zhang Taishou's old friend who is? Why did he rob Miss Cai?"
"This person's surname is Feng's name, Ji's name is Yuantu," Chang Lin replied with a wry smile: "It is Mr. Xi, a subordinate of Yuan Benchu."
"So it was him." When Guo Jia heard that Zhang Miao's old friend was Feng Ji, he did not continue to ask. He knew as if he was a mirror. It was not someone else who robbed Cai Yan, but Feng Ji must have been.
Seeing Han Zhan’s anxious look, Zhao Yun quickly helped him ask Chang Lin: “Chief Chang, don’t you know which directions you sent to search for?”
"Feng Ji brought two young men from the east, saying that he was going north to Bohai County." Chang Lin heard Zhao Yun's question, although he didn't know who he was, seeing him and Guo Jia sitting next to Han Zhan, he knew that he must be the one Han Zhan valued. He quickly replied: "So, after learning that Miss Cai was missing, he immediately discussed with the prefect and sent two teams to search for Miss Cai's whereabouts east and north respectively. Unexpectedly, Feng Ji was cunning and actually took another road, causing the pursuers we sent to snatch away."
When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "If it were Feng Ji who really robbed Miss Cai, he would never go east or north. Instead, he would go west first, walk one or two hundred miles, and then go north across the Yellow River and head north to the Bohai Sea."
When Han Zhan heard that Feng Ji was about to go north to Bohai, he hurriedly said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, immediately order 3,000 troops and set up a checkpoint on the official road leading to Bohai. If you see Feng Ji, you will immediately arrest him to see me." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately denied it, "No, don't take me to see me, you can chop him into meat paste on the spot."
After learning that Cai Yan was missing, Guo Jia was much calmer than Han Zhan. As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, he continued to ask: "Bo Huai, I want to ask, how many people are around Feng Ji?"
"24 people." As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Chang Lin replied without hesitation: "One of Feng Ji, two young men, one of Feng Ji's personal soldiers, and twenty Zhuang Dians."
When Dian Wei heard that there were only such people, he snorted coldly and said to Han Zhan: "Lord, why use a knives to kill chickens? There is only a dozen people, so there is no need to set up a checkpoint to block them. Dian can cook them all."
"No, the level must be set up." Zhao Yun said to Dian Wei: "There are only more than twenty people in Feng Ji and his party. If they are hiding on the day and walking at night, where will General Dian go to find them?"
When Dian Wei heard Zhao Yun say this, he thought it was so reasonable, so he nodded and said to Han Zhan: "Since that's the case, he will immediately return to the military camp and click on his troops to set up a checkpoint at the intersection. We must not let Feng Ji goblade escape."
"Dian Wei, wait a moment." Just as Dian Wei turned around and wanted to leave, Han Zhan called him from behind.
When Dian Wei heard Han Zhan calling him, he stopped quickly and turned to look at Han Zhan, wanting to hear what he would say.
Han Zhan turned his head and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, immediately post a list in the city and offer a reward for capturing Feng Ji and others. Anyone who can provide Feng Ji's whereabouts will be rewarded with a hundred gold; those who can capture Feng Ji's offerings will be rewarded with a thousand gold; even if they come to see this marquis with Feng Ji's corpse, they will be rewarded with five hundred gold."
Although Guo Jia felt that Han Zhan’s reward was too high, he thought of the relationship between the other party and Cai Yan, and he took it for granted. He nodded and replied: “I will draft a notice and order someone to post it in the city.”
When Chang Lin heard the reward given by Han Zhan, he smiled bitterly and thought: "Feng Ji, Feng Ji, who are you bad for offending, but he insisted on offending this Marquis Han Ting. As soon as his list was released, it seemed that you were doomed."
The Yuan brothers who were under house arrest in the backyard saw the soldiers guarding at the door muttering something in a low voice. Yuan Xi was curious for a moment and walked over. Unexpectedly, the soldiers shut up when they saw Yuan Xi coming.
Yuan Xi accompanied him to smile and asked the two soldiers: "Brothers, I wonder what you were talking about just now?"
A tall soldier rolled his eyes at Yuan Xi and said angrily: "What do we say? What does it have to do with you? If you feel bored, you can go back to your room to sleep."
"Don't be rude to Mr. Yuan." Another small soldier stopped his companions and said to Yuan Xi openly: "Today, Chen Liu came to an envoy, saying that Miss Cai was kidnapped by Feng Ji, which caused the thunder of Ting Hou to be soared. Zhang also issued a list of articles and offered a reward to capture Feng Ji and others."
The tall man sighed when he heard the little man say this and said, "Oh, I don't know who is lucky enough to get the reward of Tinghou's daughter." He glared at Yuan Xi and added, "If we hadn't been to guard you here, we could also earn the reward of Tinghou."
Yuan Xi heard that Han Zhan had given a reward of a thousand gold medals in order to capture Feng Ji, so he opened his mouth wide in surprise. After a long time, he continued to ask: "Two brothers, who is Miss Cai who was kidnapped by Feng Ji? How could Han Tinghou be so angry?"
"Miss Cai, you don't know me?" The tall man showed a look of contempt on his face. He said disdainfully: "She is the daughter of Cai Yong and Shizhong Cai. My Tinghou treats her..."
"What are you talking nonsense here?"
When Chang Lin heard the reward given by Han Zhan, he smiled bitterly and thought: "Feng Ji, Feng Ji, who are you bad for offending, but he insisted on offending this Marquis Han Ting. As soon as his list was released, it seemed that you were doomed."
