Chapter 165: One Household, Two Lives

Dong Er ran around the neighborhood, knowing that he would be caught when he was rushing to the city gate and wanted to leave the city. Now he could only find a place to hide. But where could he hide... It was not easy to get stuttering from Hedong to Tokyo, but now he still has to hide from being found to find food?

Unless someone with ability protects him and hides him! In desperation, Dong Er remembered that the government asked Li Xia'er a few days ago, and also faintly heard the official officer saying that the assassination of the general Guo Shao may be related to Li Xia'er; the mansion also had some discussions in the past two days... Li Xia'er often traveled around Zhao Sanlang, and Dong Er felt that the person who plotted to murder the general Guo Shao might be related to Zhao San.

He didn't have to think too much about it. Since Guo Shao had a grudge with Zhao San... Then I will help Guo Shao kill his enemies now, and he will help me! Besides, Dong Er had no choice but to try it out, otherwise he would not be able to avoid hunting in Tokyo.

So Dong Er touched directly to the Daxiangguo Temple. Guo Shao was also quite famous in Tokyo. He could occasionally hear people discussing the war in Shouzhou at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year. Dong Er had heard of it for a long time and knew that the Guo Mansion was there.

Dong Er was in a panic and finally avoided the official servants of the official shop. He had just committed the crime and guessed that the government had gone to several gates to set up controls. Tokyo City was large and the movement was not obvious even if it was slightly away from Zhao's Mansion.

After a long time, Dong Er finally touched Guo Mansion Front Street. As soon as he approached the door of the mansion, he saw several generals coming out of the mansion and leading their horses to the small courtyard beside the door. Dong Er hurried forward, but was immediately caught by several soldiers.

"I'll look for General Guo Shao!" Dong Er said anxiously, "I have something to ask for a meeting."

A terrifying horse-faced general shouted, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that there were many people around, Dong Er said, "I want to take a step to speak. If you can see General Guo, it is best to say it in person."

The horse-faced general had already become wary because he saw that there were dry blood on Dong Er's hairline and back of his ears. The horse-faced general said, "Take it to the yard opposite and say."

There is a yard opposite Guo's mansion, which was originally a place where the personal soldiers and servants were stationed on duty, and there were dozens of strong men day and night. In the past, Guo Shao was relatively low-key, afraid that the private placement of the imperial soldiers was set up at home to attract discussion, so he only set up 100 personal soldiers on duty in the front yard of the mansion, as well as some servants converted from Qin Shitou's subordinates. It is true that Guo Shao is a senior general, but at the foot of the emperor, the capital of the Great Zhou capital, it is already very eye-catching. However, recently Guo Shao was stabbed, strengthened his defense and arranged elite soldiers, and he didn't care about it.

The horse-faced man took Dong Er to the military hall and asked... Dong Er said he had killed Zhao San!

...Guo Shao arrived soon, first observed Dong Er, and then asked him about killing Zhao San. Dong Er said how his father was killed by Zhao San and how he took revenge.

Finally, he said bluntly: "The people of Cao were desperate and knew that General Guo had a grudge against Zhao Yanei, so they came to compete with each other."

Guo Shao and others heard this, look at me, look at you, and the few people looked at each other, and couldn't say a word. Guo Shao cursed in his heart: I'll go! I'll just fight, I'll go to my house to vote for me. I dare to hide you after eating the leopard?

At this moment, Zhao San was suspected of intending to kill Guo Shao's life. As a result, Zhao San was assassinated in just a few days, and the assassin did not go anywhere and was directly attacked by the Guo Mansion. Isn't this the assassin sent by Guo Shao?

Guo Shao was in a very complicated mood, and he felt that it was a big trouble... but he was still a little lucky: Fortunately, he killed more than a dozen times and inserted the knife into the skull, killing Zhao San. If he only killed and injured but did not kill him, the trouble would be even greater. He would not only bear the responsibility, but also leave disasters and hidden dangers.

It was like Emperor Yin of Han killed Guo Wei's whole family, but failed to kill Guo Wei, but failed to do anything, hatred was formed, and the country was destroyed.

Zuo You spoke for a long time: "This Dong Er cannot be saved. You have to hand it over and keep a living."

Yang Biao said: "Zhao San killed a thief. It happened that the thief's son was a groom in the mansion... It was just right at this moment. It was so coincidental that no one believed him. Everyone would probably think that Dong Er was an assassin sent by his elder brother."

Guo Shao nodded and said, "But Dong Er does have nothing to do with me. You ask him now."

Guo Shao secretly sorted out this matter in his heart:

First, after the Jinyang Battle, he rescued a father and daughter named Dong near Gaoping. A eldest daughter in the Dong family got married or was sold, and a son fled to famine. Yulian also had a surname Dong, and her hometown was near Gaoping, Hedong. Guo Shao had reason to guess that the father and daughter might be Yulian's family, so he brought it back to Tokyo, but the guess was wrong.

Originally, he wanted to keep the father and daughter of the Dong family as slaves in the mansion, but Old Man Dong wanted to steal as soon as he came, so Guo Shao used money to buy Dong Sanmei and expel Old Man Dong from the mansion... After this, Old Man Dong was in Tokyo. After spending the money, the guy went to steal. When he stole it to the Zhao family, he was finally arrested and killed by Zhao San.

Dong Er fled to Tokyo and happened to be a groom in Zhao's house. Seeing that his father was killed, he avenged his father and found an opportunity to kill Zhao San at home. This was quite coincidental, so it was difficult for Guo Shao to get rid of the relationship, but the fact is indeed: Dong Er Ben was not someone sent by Guo Shao.

Guo Shao thought to himself: Zhao San is really dead? Before the emperor could show his awesomeness, he was killed at home by a groom at the age of teenagers?

Just then, Zuo You asked, "Dong Er, in which year did you join the Zhao Mansion?"

Dong Erdao: "In the third year of Guangshun (953 AD, the end of Guo Wei's rule)."

Zuo You turned his head and looked at Guo Shao and said, "The lord started his career after the Battle of Gaoping in the first year of Xiande. Before that, he was just a young general or an imperial guard soldier, and he had no ability or need to install a detailed work in the Zhao Mansion. This Dong Er's entry into the Zhao Mansion cannot have anything to do with the lord."

Guo Shao nodded and said, "After that being said, we cannot rule out the suspicion of our later investigation of Dong Er and taking advantage of the ready-made personnel."

Zuo You said helplessly: "At present, Dong Er must be handed over to the government. More than one person in Guo's house saw him. If he disappeared here, our dislike would be even greater."

Guo Shao looked at Dong Er and said, "You overestimate me. Zhao Kuangyin is the commander of the front office of the palace and is deeply trusted by the officials. If you kill Zhao Kuangyin's brother, how dare I hide it? How can I protect you? I should hand you over to the government and be arrested in prison. I may suffer some hardship, but I may not die. If you are outside, you will definitely die. So what can Zhao Kuangyin kill you with one knife?"

Dong Er said: "I know that I have committed an unforgivable crime and dared to kill Zhao San, so I have no intention of living!"

Guo Shao nodded and couldn't help but say, "I'm in love!" He thought about it and said, "I don't necessarily die. You can stay in prison. If someone asks you, just tell the truth and you must confess the truth!"

Dong Er had no choice but to accept his fate.

"I hand you over to the official, you don't have to thank me." Guo Shao stood up and ordered, "Tie. This person cannot be sent to the ordinary government. I will go to the Privy Council with him and hand it over to Wang Pu."

Guo Shao and others prepared to tie Dong Er and put it into a car. Guo Shao also took a carriage and called a group of personal soldiers and guards to go straight to the imperial city.

The Privy Council of the Zhou Dynasty is currently in the imperial city and inside Donghuamen. The group first arrived at Maxing Street and then went to Donghuamen.

Soon, Wang Pu and a few people came out of Donghua Gate, asked first, then picked up the curtain to see the prisoner who was tied up tightly, and someone sat aside and watched.

Wang Pu looked at it and ordered without looking back: "Come on, go to Kaifeng Prefecture and call the Left Hall Promoter."

Guo Shao hurriedly said, "This man claimed to have killed the Zhao family Sanlang. He also heard that I had a grudge with Zhao San, so he fled to my house and came to ask for help to let me hide him. How dare I keep him without permission? Hurry up and handed over to Deputy Envoy Wang... Oh, I am really helpless. This man really has nothing to do with me!"

Wang Pu said calmly, "General Guo, don't worry, the court will find out the truth." He paused for a moment and said again, "I just learned that Zhao Sanlang was assassinated. I don't want to catch the criminal so soon. The assassin is still alive, and everything is easy."

Guo Shao was speechless and seemed a little anxious.

Wang Pu said softly again: "Zhao Hongyin has passed away too."

Guo Shao immediately showed surprise: "Zhao Duzhi's father? How did he die?"

Wang Pu said: "It was said that he vomited blood in anger, but he couldn't help him. However, Zhao Hongyin was already old and in poor health, otherwise he wouldn't have any problems in anger."

Guo Shao's face showed a faint black air, and his mouth was already a little unscrupulous: "Zhao Dushi's family is really... it's really unfortunate. Two people went to the house in one day."

Wang Pu sighed: "Yes, and one is his father and the other is his brother, both of them are male members of the Zhao family."

Guo Shao stood for a while and felt that he had nothing to say, so he bowed: "Then the offender Dong Er will hand it over to Deputy Envoy Wang, say goodbye."

Wang Pu nodded and replied, "I'm sorry to send it away."

Guo Shao got on the carriage and wanted to go to the Zhao Mansion to see the situation, but now he brought the armored men and the ceremonial guards, so he was not good to go. So he traveled south from Maxing Street and went straight home. On the way, he finally couldn't help but send a servant in a commoner in a commoner to take a look at the Zhao Mansion.

In the afternoon, the servant who was sent to check the situation came back and went to the front yard to meet Guo Shao. The servant replied: "The soul-summoning banner and the white cloth at the gate have been hung. A lot of paper money has been spilled in front of the door, and the funeral has been made! The young man specifically asked people nearby to watch the fun. It was really Zhao Kuangyin's father and brother died together!"

Guo Shao felt a lot of pressure... I think that Dad Zhao and Zhao San died, and they had nothing to do with him, but how would Zhao Kuangyin's family feel?

I was assassinated and didn't take revenge... In the end, I was not a victim, but I was resentful?

People's hearts are so strange. Some people do things that are sorry to others and do not feel that they owe debts. Instead, they become more and more hatred! The Zhao family not only has Zhao Kuangyin, but also their mother, son, fourth brother, and sister. These people have a good impression of Guo Shao?
