The third slap from the Han family patriarch was raised but did not fall.
He put his hands on both sides of Han Yu's shoulders and pushed him back onto the bed.
A "hiss" sound of gasping for air came from Han Yu's mouth.
It wasn't because of anything else, but because this force just happened to press on the injured area on his buttocks.
It hurts!
The pain caused the anger on the faces of those who were glaring with hatred to ease. They grimaced in pain and could no longer maintain their previous fierce look.
In such a big room, there were only the uncle and nephew inside at this time.
The remaining servants all stood guard outside the door.
The uncle and nephew were facing each other, one sitting and the other standing, close enough that they could see their own reflection in each other's pupils.
They are indeed uncle and nephew who are connected by broken bones. Even their appearances are 50% similar.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The Han family patriarch coughed lightly, "Does it still hurt?"
Han Yu rolled his eyes in annoyance, "How could it not hurt? That bitch was so cruel, hitting me where it hurts!"
The Han family patriarch's expression just relaxed for a moment, but suddenly darkened again, "Okay, be careful with your words, you can't afford to offend those two."
"Who are they?" Han Yu still hasn't figured out the identities of the people that Kang Jing wants her to target.
Thinking of the way his second uncle addressed one of the older women, "Princess?"
"She is just a princess without real power. Why are you so nervous, uncle?"
To be specific, the Han family has a longer history than the Qi family, which is the royal family of Dayong. In the territory of Hanzhou, what does a princess of Dayong count for?
The slap that the head of the Han family had just held back finally fell on Han Yu's head.
"Don't be disrespectful."
"Princess Daning and Miss Wei are here to promote grain. Do you know how much grain can be harvested in the fall once this new grain is planted?"
"This is a good thing that concerns the people's food and clothing and will benefit future generations."
"It is a blessing for us in Hanzhou that they can send grain to Hanzhou, and you almost became a sinner in Hanzhou!"
"Ah?" Han Yu was stunned.
He never thought that the two women today could accomplish such a big thing?
The head of the Han family was so angry when he saw his extremely stupid nephew.
I don’t know if his brother and sister-in-law took their son’s brain with them when they passed away.
How can a person be so stupid?
Not being able to distinguish one's enemies from another, and not even knowing the purpose of what one is doing, one makes enemies at random.
"Forget it. It's my fault as an uncle. I didn't teach you well."
Come to think of it, it was precisely because my brother and sister-in-law died early that my mother and I were always afraid of mistreating Han Yu, so we did our best to make up for it and pamper him.
They have to take 80% of the responsibility for his current condition...
With a deep sigh, the head of the Han family said, "I will tell you what happened back then. Whether you believe it or not, listen carefully. If you don't believe what I say after listening, I will release you from house arrest after the promotion of grain seeds is over, and let you take people to investigate in person."
"Okay, you talk and I'm listening." Han Yu crossed his arms, looking as if he was waiting to see how the head of the Han family could defend himself.
"Back then, I traveled with several fellow students from Chengshan Academy. When we passed Lingshan, we accidentally discovered a mineral vein there. The local officials concealed the information and mined it privately. So I wrote a letter to inform my brother about it."
Lingshan is located right on the border of Hanzhou. The mountain itself happens to be a no-man's land, but the county town at the foot of the mountain is classified as part of Hanzhou.
"Brother took this matter very seriously and immediately set out for Lingshan. You know what happened later. A landslide occurred on the mountain and brother happened to be inspecting the mountain at the time and unfortunately died. Only three of his followers escaped alive."
The head of the Han family looked sad. He paused and continued, "Yu'er, I only found out later that this was not an accident, but a man-made one."
"Man-made?" Han Yu stared into the eyes of the Han family's patriarch, still with a look of anger and suspicion.
"Yes, it was man-made." The head of the Han family said in a deep voice: "The person who was appointed to quarry the ore privately was the cousin of the wife of the eldest wife of the Kang family, and the uncle of your good brother Kang Jing."
Han Yu's face froze, as if he had figured something out in an instant.
Seeing that he seemed to be able to understand what he said, the head of the Han family broke down the whole thing and explained it to him clearly.
Han Yu was as if struck by lightning. He was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "I will check everything you said. If you fool me... I will not let you go."
"Why don't you let me go and plot to make me fall off my horse?"
"Or use some other means to take my life?"
The head of the Han family asked in a cold voice.
"You know everything?" Han Yu dodged for a moment, and then, in the disappointed look of the Han family's patriarch, he whispered, "Whether you believe it or not, I admit that the fall from the horse was related to me, but I never intended to take your life. It was really an accident."
The head of the Han family raised his hand and poked Han Yu's head hard. "Use your pig brain to think about it. Was it really an accident? You don't want my life, but what about others?"
"Han Yu, you think others are kind enough to help you seize the position of head of this family, but you don't know that they are eyeing our entire Han family."
"Think about it here!"
After saying the last sentence, the head of the Han family flicked his sleeves and left the house without looking back.
On the same floor, in a room at the other end of the corridor.
Princess Daning and Wei Yunlan sat opposite each other and drank tea.
I heard Princess Daning's followers whispering about the movements of the head of the Han family.
Upon learning that the head of the Han family had been nearly killed by Han Yu, he could not help but shake his head.
"This Han family master is not a foolish person, he just values his family too much and doesn't protect them. Fortunately, he saw it clearly early, otherwise he would have fallen into trouble sooner or later."
Wei Yunlan nodded.
I think the cause of death of the head of the Han family in his previous life should have something to do with his nephew who was easily provoked by outsiders.
…
There is a small town south of Qincheng.
The man in fancy clothes hiding here frowned after hearing the report from his subordinates that Han Yu had been placed under house arrest in Qincheng by the patriarch of the Han family, and all his usual subordinates had been transferred away by the patriarch of the Han family. He could no longer contact them.
He snorted coldly, "What a useless thing."
After saying that, he picked up the lump of potato on the table and shook it in his palm.
His eyes became increasingly cold, as if filled with murderous intent.
He muttered to himself, "Forget it, I have to do this myself."
