When Li Zhu and Han Tao heard the prison guard say that Han Gu was dead, they were both stunned. They were in the prison cell well, how could Han Gu die?

"How did he die?" Li Zhu asked nervously. Although Han Gu was defined as a death row prisoner, it was not the time to ask for death. Now he has proved his innocence. If he dies in an unknown way, he will not be able to escape.

"He and his wife both committed suicide by hanging their beams. We only discovered it when we were on patrol." The jailer reported to Li Zhu.

"Hurry, go and have a look!" Li Zhu greeted Han Tao and others and walked into the cell quickly.

Han Tao felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. When he was going to meet Li Zhu with him to meet his father, he was still thinking about how to deal with it after seeing him, but he didn't expect that he would hear the news that the other party committed suicide first.

Han Tao followed Li Zhu through the aisle of the cell and arrived at a room at the end of the cell.

At this time, the door of the cell had been opened, and several jailers were guarding the door of the cell.

Li Zhu and Han Tao came to the cell and looked inward.

I saw a middle-aged man and woman using prison uniforms as ropes, all hanging on the beams of the cell.

Another jailer came forward with a water jacket: "Sir, this is what we found in the cell. Please check it out."

Li Zhu took the water jacket, which was written in blood on it: "Innocent being wronged, it is difficult to prove his innocence. He will show his ambitions by death, and will be loyal to the great man forever."

Han Tao also looked at Shuiyi, then looked at the corpse hanging on the beam of the house. The index finger of his right hand was covered in blood, obviously a bloody book written by biting his finger.

Judging from the situation on the scene and the blood letter, it should be that Han Gu could not prove his innocence and was unwilling to accept the result of being beheaded, so he chose to prove his innocence by dying and showing his ambitions.

Li Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Han, why are you doing this... I was confused and failed to find out your injustice in time, which hurts you..."

Han Tao suddenly woke up and fell to the ground suddenly, and howled loudly at the two corpses hanging on the beam of the house: "Dad, mom, you died so unjustly..."

It’s not that he has any feelings for this cheap parents. The reason for doing this is because of human nature. If he doesn’t cry, it will make people doubt it.

Another reason is that I want to arouse Li Zhu's sympathy and guilt through howling, and strive to relieve himself of his crime of escape from prison.

Thinking of this, Han Tao started to "show" more realistically, crying heartbrokenly, and his hands and feet trembled.

He shouted loudly: "Dad, mom, the child is unfilial, the child failed to prove your innocence in time. It's because I'm incompetent. I'm sorry for you..."

While crying, Han Tao began to whip his face hard. With just a few strokes, he whipped his face so swollen.

Seeing Han Tao so sad, Li Zhu came forward with sympathy and guilt.

"Han Tao, people cannot be resurrected by death, so don't be too sad. Your parents have spirits in heaven, so they will definitely feel filial piety and will not blame you."

When Han Tao heard Li Zhu's advice, he cried even harder, and cried so hard that he was out of breath and almost fainted...

Li Zhu persuaded Han Tao again: "Nephew, don't cry anymore. It's better to put your parents down first, take them back, and arrange their funeral for them."

When saying this, Li Zhu changed his title and his tone became much closer, and more of it was coaxing Han Tao.

Han Tao of course understood that Li Zhu's purpose of doing this was to try to ease the relationship as much as possible. After all, he was wronged and died in his county jail.

If Han Tao really insists on getting back to "justice", Li Zhu would probably be affected by the rebellious merits and rewards he had captured.

Han Tao wanted Li Zhu's attitude, but of course he would not accept the other party immediately, and responded with a sloppy attitude of trying to get.

"Thank you for your concern, but after all, I still committed the serious crime of private escape from prison and trespassing into the main record room, and I should be punished."

"My parents' funeral is probably going to bother Mr. Shi to handle it on their behalf. I'll thank Mr. Shi for them first!"

Han Tao said, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Li Zhu.

Li Zhu hurriedly reached out to support him and said repeatedly: "My nephew, everything he did before is eager to save his father."

"It has been proved that your father is indeed wronged, so I will naturally not pursue the matter again. You can go home with peace of mind and handle the funeral for your parents."

After Li Zhu finished speaking, without waiting for Han Tao to speak, he immediately ordered the prison guard behind him: "Come on, help Mr. Han out quickly and send him back to the house, and then arrange someone to take Mr. Han and his wife back as soon as possible."

After hearing Li Zhu say this, Han Tao pretended to be grateful and thanked Li Zhu again: "Thank you, uncle, that nephew will take his leave first!"

Li Zhu waved his hands repeatedly: "No need to be polite, go back quickly."

A prison guard stepped forward and supported Han Tao. He continued to look exhausted and was supported by the prison guards.

Seeing that Han Tao finally left, Li Zhu let out a long sigh and thought to himself that he had finally sent him away.

Now we can arrange someone to send Ma Yuanyi away the hot potato. If you don’t worry about this matter, just wait for the imperial court to reward you.

The largest house in the center of Shanyang County is Han Gu's mansion.

At this time, Han Tao stood in front of the door of this large mansion, and at this moment, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The cheap parents died, and this big mansion and all the property belong to him. How should he continue to walk the future?

What should I do with such a large property?

Be a wealthy businessman with peace of mind? But he knows nothing about doing business and has no interest.

Either you can stay at home and enjoy yourself with peace of mind, eat and drink delicious food every day, but it seems that such a good life won’t last long.

According to the history he knew, after Ma Yuanyi was sent to Luoyang to execute him, Zhang Jiao rushed to launch an uprising.

The hundreds of thousands of believers under him quickly began to occupy various prefectures and counties. Eight of the thirteen prefectures of the Eastern Han Dynasty were involved in war.

In other words, the chaotic times in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were about to begin soon.

Han Tao is very clear about the truth that there is no end to the nest when it is collapsed.

Even if you have a fortune, you will never escape the fate of being robbed in troubled times. You will still be dead at that time. It seems that you really have to plan your future path.

Han Tao was thinking about it all, but the door of the mansion in front of him suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man in his forties ran out with a boy who looked about the same age as Han Tao.

Han Tao looked at the two of them and quickly searched for their memories.

The middle-aged man is Han Gu's younger brother, named Han Lu, and the young man is his son Han Chong.

Han Lu rushed to Han Tao and hugged him in his arms: "Taoer, you are back! The second uncle has heard about your father and mother. Don't worry, I have everything..."

His enthusiastic performance made Han Tao feel a little uncomfortable for a moment. He stood there awkwardly, hugged him, and agreed vaguely.

In his impression, this second uncle was a typical prodigal son because he was ignorant and did not know how to manage. He was often ridiculed by Han Gu. The relationship between the two did not seem to be very good.

Han Tao's original owner has been a playful and playful since he was a child. He is a terrible person with Han Lu. He often lingers in a romantic place and is very close to him.

However, Han Chong was not influenced by his father. He was smart since childhood and read a lot of poetry and books.

He also has a talent for doing business. When he was ten years old, he talked about it in front of his family elders and analyzed the way of doing business very thoroughly. He is a famous child prodigy in Shanyang County.

It is precisely because of this contrast that there is a saying that Han Tao and Han Chong both reborn as the wrong ones and should be replaced.

"Uncle Second, let me go first, let's go home before talking."

Han Tao was obviously not used to being hugged by a big man like this, especially the alcohol smell that had not yet dissipated from the other party, which made him feel disgusted when he smelled it, so he hurriedly tried to push Han Lu away.

Han Lu then let go of Han Tao and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, let's go home and say something."

Han Lu pulled Han Tao and walked into the yard.

Han Chong stood aside and kept silent, maintaining a cold attitude.

When Han Tao passed by him, he felt a chill inexplicably from his eyes. He instinctively felt the hostility emitted by the other party...

Han Tao subconsciously wanted to turn around and look at Han Chong.

However, the other party had quickly restrained the chill in his eyes and followed him to the mansion.

Han Tao could only keep his doubts, and was pulled by Han Lu and walked into the mansion together.

The three of them came to the main hall in the mansion. Han Lu sat in the main seat without any politeness at all, and then called Han Tao to sit in the guest seat next to him.

Although Han Tao felt a little uncomfortable, he thought that the other party was an "elder" after all, and a ignorant person who was not knowledgeable and did not understand the rules, so he walked to the guest seat and sat down.

Han Chong sat opposite Han Tao, without saying a word from beginning to end.

"After you were arrested, I tried to find the elders of the family and went to the county government several times to plead for mercy, hoping to redeem you."

"But Lord Li said that treason was a serious crime, and the evidence was conclusive and he refused to let go." Han Lu sat down and began to confess his love.

"I was going to kill you today, but I was thinking of risking my life to the court and trying to stop the execution and try to save you."

"Later I heard that you found evidence and tested Tang Zhou in court to prove your parents' innocence."

"I was about to arrange for a carriage to pick you up. Unexpectedly, your parents..."

Speaking of this, Han Lu even wiped his tears: "Your father, my elder brother, is so strong that he can't bear the grievance at all, why did he take this path..."

Han Tao looked at Han Lu and felt a puzzled heart. Before his own people arrived home, the news that Han Gu and his wife were dead was first transmitted. Han Lu knew it, and there seemed to be something wrong here...

Seeing Han Tao lowering his head and not speaking, Han Chong spoke at this time: "Cousin, are you wondering why the father and I have learned about my uncle's death before the person has arrived?"

Han Chong directly expressed his thoughts, which made Han Tao slightly stunned. He no longer avoided his head and nodded.

"My father said that after my uncle was imprisoned, we have been paying great attention and specially arranged for people to keep inquiring about the news around the county government."

"So when we heard that my uncle passed away, we came back to report to us immediately, and we learned."

"You were just about to arrange someone to pick up your cousin, but you were already back." Han Chong explained calmly.

His words were reasonable and cleverly completed the many loopholes in Han Lu's previous words.

When Han Tao listened to his words, although he knew that this was just an excuse to make him say, he didn't want to worry too much about this issue.

Han Tao turned to Han Lu and said, "So that's it. Thank you for your trouble."
