Chapter 14: Did you see the corpse with your own eyes?
The person who came was clearly coming for the Xie family.
Some people watched coldly, while others worried about the Xie family.
The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had guards on both sides. He was not an ordinary person.
Xie Yuchuan took a look and didn't recognize him.
Huaitingkou, more than 50 miles away from the outskirts of Beijing, is the last post station that many officials from Daliang who were sent out to other places passed by before entering Beijing.
Compared with the previous post station under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Town, it was much simpler and was mostly used for officials and messengers to make a short stop and rest.
There are very few people drinking here. Xiong Jiushan has escorted fugitives several times and has never encountered such a person.
This time when they met, in order to avoid trouble, he simply avoided the other party and kept his distance.
However, they did not expect that the young man was actually waiting by the roadside, waiting for the team to set off.
When his men came to report, Xiong Jiushan couldn't help but curse and hurried forward from the back of the team.
I am most impatient to deal with those nobles who do not follow the rules.
He still remembered this man. He had asked him on the upper floor of the inn whether the Xie family was in the exile team.
Xiong Jiushan is so big.
The Xie family has never been at peace since they left the capital.
I really don’t know how much more trouble I will cause on the road ahead.
Xie Yuchuan was no stranger to Huaitingkou.
When he was carried back to the capital with serious injuries, he changed the medicine here, straightened his appearance, and entered the palace to meet the emperor.
More than a month later, when he passed by again, he had become a criminal.
He couldn't imagine who would be so bored as to come here and wait for him, just to make fun of him.
He had no intention of paying attention to the other person. His cold eyes swept across him and he walked forward.
A folding fan blocked his way.
"Why are you so anxious, Major General?"
Xie Yuchuan's eyes fell on the folding fan in front of the shackle.
Green bamboo knots, white jade pendants, golden ears...
This seems to be... a token of the Guanxi You family.
Xie Yuchuan was confused.
"Are you from the You family?"
"The young general really has good eyesight, he's below you Zhan."
You Zhan opened his fan and waved it gently, greeting him with a smile.
Xie Yuchuan looked normal, "I have no dealings with the You family."
"It doesn't matter. I know you just need to thank Liu Lang."
The visitor's intentions were unclear. Xie Yuchuan stared at him for a moment, then turned around and walked around him.
You Zhan was stunned for a moment, and quickly took a few steps back, rushing in front of Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan looked up and frowned at the other person.
"Xie is already an exile, Mr. You, please do as you please."
Behind him came the sound of Xiong Jiushan's footsteps and shouts: "What's going on up ahead?!"
Although he was scolding the criminal, he was also speaking to You Zhan and others who were blocking the road.
You Zhan saw Xiong Jiushan approaching.
"Master Xiong, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Yu Zhan, and I have something unclear to ask the Xie family. Please give me some help."
After he finished speaking, one of the guards who had been standing behind him took out a purse from his waist and handed it to him.
Xiong Jiushan didn't answer, and the yamen runners beside him didn't dare to move.
Xie Yuchuan was sandwiched between the two of them, calm as a pine tree.
Xiong Jiushan glanced at You Zhan across from him, then tilted his head and asked Xie Yuchuan, "What's your connection?"
Xie Yuchuan said calmly: "I don't know him."
Xiong Jiushan raised his eyes and looked at You Zhan.
Seeing that the other party did not accept money, You Zhan pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to the guard behind him, "Go and ask Lord Han to come over."
The exile team could not be stuck on the road because of one or two people, so Xiong Jiushan ordered his subordinates to lead the other prisoners forward first. As for the Xie family, especially Xie Yuchuan, he led four officers and soldiers to guard them, wanting to see what You Zhan's intention was in blocking the road.
The yamen runners drove the other members of the Xie family forward, but the Xie family would rather be whipped than take a step forward.
When You Zhan saw this, there was a complicated look in his eyes.
Lord Han came hurriedly, and before he arrived, the smell of alcohol hit my nose.
Xie Yuchuan frowned. He had some impression of the official who came and had some bad guesses in his mind.
When Lord Han arrived, You Zhan said with a smile, "I have some personal grudges with Xie Jia Liulang, which won't take up much time. I hope Lord Han can help me put in a few good words in front of Lord Xiong."
The Lord Han laughed drunkenly, "Very good! Very good! It's rare for Master You to come to the capital. If you need anything, I, Han, will do my best to help you."
After saying that, he took out a badge from his pocket and threw it directly to Xiong Jiushan. His tone was not as friendly as when he was talking to You Zhan.
When facing Xiong Jiushan, he shouted, "They are just a bunch of exiled prisoners. What's the harm in delaying them for a while? Where did this stupid rule come from?"
Xiong Jiushan endured the discomfort and turned over the badge, looking at the card carefully. The next second, he respectfully returned the badge to Lord Han with both hands and was much more polite to You Zhan.
"I only need Xie Yuchuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, several members of the Xie family surrounded Xie Yuchuan.
Everyone stared at You Zhan closely, taking precautions.
The officers nearby were so angry when they saw this that they stepped forward to pull the men away. Even though they beat and kicked them, they were unable to shake these Xie family warriors.
Xie Yuchuan stared at You Zhan with cold eyes.
"You go first."
He wanted to meet this You family member who was blocking his way.
"Yuchuan, no!"
"Sixth brother, this person is not here with good intentions."
Xie Yuchuan couldn't bear to see his family members get hurt. "It's okay. You guys go ahead. Master You won't do anything to me."
"Hezhi, take everyone away first."
Xie Wuying carefully looked at his sixth brother's expression, thought for a moment, then turned around and took the others with him and went ahead under the escort of the yamen runners.
Xiong Jiushan couldn't leave, but with Lord Han's endorsement, it was inconvenient for him to stay where he was. He simply took a few steps back and waited at a place not too far away.
After Lord Han came out to wash his face, he went back in high spirits to continue drinking and having fun with his friends.
In the middle of the road, Xie Yuchuan and You Zhan stood facing each other.
There were no other people around the two of them.
You Zhan looked at Xie Yuchuan, his eyes darkening as he asked, "Sixth Young Master, do you know the connection between your third brother Xie Yuheng and my eldest sister?"
Xie Yuchuan was stunned when he heard this!
How could he know about his third brother's affairs with other women?
What's more, he has no idea that his third brother has died on the battlefield.
When You Zhan saw his expression, he knew that Xie Yuchuan also didn't know about the affair between his sister and the third son of the Xie family.
You Zhan's expression remained fierce, but he lowered his voice slightly, whispering so that only the two of them could hear, "My eldest sister ran away from home because of Xie Yuheng and took the You family treasures. She hasn't returned yet. If you have any news about Xie Sanlang, please let me know."
Xie Yuchuan frowned, looking unhappy.
"Master You, don't you know that my third brother died fighting on the battlefield in the northwest?"
You Zhan snorted lightly, "Did you see your third brother's corpse with your own eyes?"
Xie Yuchuan's brain buzzed when he heard the sound!
Suddenly he grabbed You Zhan's collar and said, "What did you say?!"
He suddenly attacked, and the guards behind You Zhan rushed forward, but were kicked away by Xie Yuchuan. He pulled You Zhan's body to the side and asked again in a low voice: "Say what you just said again!"
You Zhan didn't have time to reply.
Tu Huan's surprised voice suddenly rang in Xie Yuchuan's ears:
"Tu Huan: Xie Yuchuan, what's wrong with your brain?"
No wonder Tu Huan was surprised.
She had finally gotten over the depression of the system cheating her out of 60,000 yuan. Before she had even taken two bites of the takeaway food, she saw her phone screen was filled with crazy push notifications!
