Chapter 0026 The truth is revealed

The day after Han Zhan returned home, he received a letter from Zhao Yun to ask him to meet him at the winery in the north of the city.

Li Hua sat next to Han Zhan, tilted her head and read the contents of the letter, and asked curiously: "Young Master, who is this Zhao Yun? Why did he ask you to meet? Are he very familiar with you?"

Han Zhan put the letter on the table in front of him, turned his head to Lihua and said, "This Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are my saviors of your son. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have seen me."

When Lihua heard Han Zhan say this, she opened her mouth wide in surprise. After a long time, she asked hesitantly: "Mr.... Master, you... what did you just say? He is your... your savior?"

"That's right," Han Zhan nodded and said, "Yuan Shao's army and I were camping on the banks of the Zhangshui River when we encountered heavy rain on our way back to Jizhou. Who knew that the next morning, three assassins, pretending to be kids from the kitchen, came to deliver breakfast to me and my uncle. Fortunately, Zilong took action in time and killed three assassins, so that your son, I saved my life."

Han Zhan said it lightly, but Li Hua's eyes suddenly turned red. Although he had carefully checked his body when he was bathing the young master yesterday evening, when he heard that he had encountered an assassin, Li Hua was immediately panicked and talked about Han Zhan's clothes and checked them carefully, wanting to see if there were any scars on his body.

Lihua's concern for herself touched the softest part of Han Zhan's heart. He grabbed Lihua's hands, shook his head gently, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lihua, I'm not hurt. I'm just afraid that you will worry, so I didn't mention this to you last night."

"Young Master," Li Hua grabbed Han Zhan's hand tightly and said excitedly: "You can take Li Hua to the winery to see General Zilong later. I want to kowtow to him personally and thank him for saving the young master's life."

Han Zhan raised his right hand, wiped the tears from Lihua's cheek with his thumb, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, Zilong asked me to meet. There must be important things to talk about. If you go, he will feel restrained." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, do you remember who I am in Jizhou, and whom I have a grudge with?"

"Who has a grudge against?" Lihua's face showed a confused expression: "Why did the young master say this?"

"That's right," Han Zhan wanted to understand whether the previous master of his body had formed enemies in Jizhou through Lihua, which could effectively narrow the scope of the investigation: "After my assassination, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and even Chunyu Qiong, who had conflicts with me, could be ruled out. According to everyone's analysis, the assassin who assassinated me should be from Jizhou City, which means that the mastermind of this matter is still hidden in Jizhou."

Lihua frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Lihua really can't remember what kind of enemies the young master would make in Jizhou City. Although you are the young master of the mansion, you never bully others with power. Even if you are not friends all over the world, you will never make enemies with anyone." She said this, paused for a moment, glanced at the closed door, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, did you say the assassin would go to assassinate Mr. Xun, and you just happened to be there?"

"Impossible, this is impossible." Han Zhan continued: "Assassin held my uncle's hand on him, put a steel knife on his neck, threatening us to put down our weapons and let him leave safely. If they were really going for my uncle and slaughtering him with one knife, wouldn't it be worry?"

...

...

Han Zhan originally thought that the wine house where Zhao Yun had made an appointment with him had no sign, so he would have to search for it for a long time to find it when he arrived in the north of the city. Unexpectedly, after he went there, he saw a two-story house with a flag flying in the wind, and a big word "wine" was written on it.

He came to the door and dismounted, and immediately a shop clerk came out, took the reins from his hand and tied them to the horse trotter. Han Zhan took out a small brocade bag from the sleeve of the robe, containing twenty five-zhu coins and threw them to the shop clerk.

The shop assistant took the tip, slammed the weight, and immediately nodded and said, "Please, please, my master, there is a private room on the second floor!"

Han Zhan followed the clerk to the second floor and saw Zhao Yun sitting in the corner of the wall. He quickly waved to the other party. When Zhao Yun saw Han Zhan coming, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Yun has seen the young master!"

Han Zhan waved his hand and said unnaturally: "Okay, Zilong, stop calling me a young master. Now Jizhou is not surnamed Han." After Shuangshuang sat down, he asked, "Zilong, I don't know what is important to ask me to come here today?"

Zhao Yun looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, after careful investigation, Yun has gained some clues about the assassin's mastermind."

"Oh, the assassin's affairs are obvious?" Han Zhan was really happy and worried when he heard Zhao Yun say this. What was happy was that the thing that had troubled him for so long was finally the moment of the truth; but at the same time he was also worried that the other party would be the person around him. "Who is the other party? Zilong, come and listen."

Zhao Yun did not immediately answer Han Zhan’s question, but asked back: “Yun wants to ask, does the young master have enemies in Jizhou City?”

"No," Han Zhan shook his head and replied, "I should have no enemies in Jizhou."

"Last night, a subordinate came to report to Yun, saying that he heard two people who looked like servants, and after getting drunk, he mentioned buying an assassination. My subordinate was Chief Luo Shi's subordinate. When they heard the two of them say this, he was careful. He only heard the other party say: The whereabouts of the three assassins sent first were unknown, and they could not see anyone alive or die. Now even the assassin will never return."

Hearing this, Han Zhan immediately realized that he was not far from the truth. Because many soldiers in the army were not sure about the killing of several assassins, let alone those who were far away in Jizhou at that time. He quickly asked: "Zilong, have your subordinates figured out whose family members are these two servants?"

Zhao Yun nodded and continued, "After the two of them left, my subordinates followed him and followed him to an official family."

"Official family?" Han Zhan said in wonder: "I don't seem to offend any official. Why did the other party hate me to the core and even send assassins to assassinate me?"

"I went there with my subordinates today to check it out, and I happened to know the owner of the official residence, too." Zhao Yun's expression suddenly became serious: "The other party is a minister in charge of Zhu Han!"

"The capital officer is engaged in Zhu Han!" After hearing the name Zhao Yun said, Han Zhan suddenly widened his eyes. After a while, he slapped heavily on the low table in front of him, and woke up from his dream, "I understand who is the mastermind behind the scenes, it turns out it is him."

When Zhao Yun heard Han Zhan’s stupid words, he couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “Young Master, who do you think he is? How do you confirm that he will be the mastermind behind the scenes?”

Han Zhan quickly told Zhao Yun in detail about the incident when he met a woman who bought medicine on the road that day and was teased by Zhu Zhen. He finally said: "Since the assassin incident, I have been thinking about whether I have offended anyone. Unfortunately, I have suspected many people, but none of them are the real mastermind behind the scenes. Only Zhu Zhen is the most suspicious."

"Don't worry, young master." Zhao Yun immediately assured Han Zhan: "I will send someone to monitor the mansions that the capital officer is engaged in to see if there are any clues. Once it is confirmed that Mr. Zhu is the mastermind behind the scenes, I will report it to you immediately." After that, he stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Han Zhan.
