When the Lord of Lanzhou heard these words, he naturally would not let him go.
He just felt a little dazed.
No wonder, no wonder Lord Zhu didn't let him find out the truth.
We must protect the Xu family.
But now that he has entered the game, if he wants to protect himself, he will probably be in trouble.
The Lord of Lanzhou lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Why Hongcheng?"
Xu Hesheng looked up at him and said, "The Empress Dowager's hand holds this lifeline."
The Lord of Lanzhou was shocked. That’s right, Lanzhou is the only way between Yuezhou and the capital.
Especially for Hongcheng, this is an even more important point.
If the border is in danger and the Manhe invades, the closest and only way out will definitely be through Lanzhou.
Passing through Hongcheng.
However, the Lord of Lanzhou is the Empress Dowager's man.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he naturally will not allow anyone else to occupy such a good position.
In particular, although the Empress Dowager was devoted to Buddhism, she could not control the fact that the Empress Dowager Taihuang had always doted on Chu Jinshen.
If Yuezhou wants to make trouble, Lanzhou will definitely help him.
Therefore, Chu Shengan could not let the Lord of Lanzhou go, as he was not one of his own.
"Master, what does it matter if you find out the truth? You and I are just pawns."
"If you want to survive, it all depends on who's above you, whether they're happy or not, who wins and who loses."
Lord Lanzhou took a deep breath.
"Besides, the Hongcheng bandits are also a problem. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to take advantage of this epidemic to deal with them?"
"It's just a city."
The Lord of Lanzhou suddenly raised his head.
He repeated his words: "It's just... a city?"
"Nothing! Do you know how many people are there?"
"If the disease spreads, the entire Heng Kingdom will be in trouble!"
Xu Hesheng sneered: "What will happen!"
"Then Licheng was destroyed by just one big fire!"
The Lord of Lanzhou was speechless.
The lesson of Licheng is still there.
When Chu Shengan did this, the Lord of Lanzhou even found a reason instantly.
All it takes is a city that's not very important.
Besides, the people in this city have become like this.
It would be better to resolve them right here and put one’s mind at ease.
The Lord of Lanzhou held on and raised his hand.
"The thief Xu Hesheng has been thrown into the dungeon. We will deal with him after the incident in Hongcheng is resolved."
His life was definitely lost.
Xu Heyan's face was pale and he knelt on the ground.
Things have developed to this point, the only thing Xu Heyan is clear about is.
Starting with Xu Hesheng, they were finished.
It's all over.
The Xu family is definitely gone.
Xu Heyan watched Xu Hesheng being dragged away.
He trembled as he looked at the Lord of Lanzhou who was standing in front of him.
"Fu Jun! Fu Jun!"
Xu Heyan roared, using up all his strength.
The Lord of Lanzhou glanced at him.
"What else does Mr. Xu want to say?"
Xu Heyan swallowed.
"Master Fujun, we don't know what Xu Hesheng did! We are innocent!"
At this point, Xu Heyan naturally wanted to save his life.
He didn't know why Xu Hesheng was so straightforward and told him everything.
"Innocent? Where's the innocence?"
Xu Heyan was speechless for a moment.
"Sir! We are truly innocent!"
"I know nothing about what Xu Hesheng did in Hongcheng! Besides, besides."
Xu Heyan's eyes kept rolling.
"If I knew what he did, why would I stay in Hongcheng! My lord!"
What Xu Heyan said does make sense.
But the Lord of Lanzhou refused to listen.
"The Xu family's affairs have come to this point, and no one can protect them."
The new emperor ascended the throne and some matters needed to be handled privately.
For example, he, the Lord of Lanzhou, who is stuck between the capital and Yuezhou.
His face looked dry.
"As expected of the new emperor, I'm afraid you know who provided Yuezhou with timely assistance back then."
Otherwise, why would he deal with him first after ascending the throne?
The Lord of Lanzhou sighed softly.
"At this point, there's only one way to go."
Since he has been assigned to Chu Jinshen by the new emperor.
The Lord of Lanzhou didn't think he had any chance of turning back.
Outside the dungeon, Lu Anan closed the crystal ball.
She looked at Chu Jinshen.
"Although I guessed a lot wrong, Chu Shengan is indeed not a good person."
Even if we don't know that person's identity, we can still see what he did.
According to Lu Anan, that means he needs to be cut into pieces.
Xu Hesheng, who was taken into prison, fell to the ground.
His hair was messy, covering his face.
Wait until everyone has left.
Li Sicai slowly retreated.
He half squatted down and looked at Xu Hesheng lying on the ground.
"Master Xu..."
Xu Hesheng ignored him.
Li Si lowered his eyes.
"No, to be precise, who are you?"
The man lying on the ground was suddenly stunned, and he spoke in a calm voice.
"I'm Xu Hesheng, what can I do for you?"
Xu Hesheng still insisted, and Li Si snorted and laughed.
"Then... we should meet soon."
Xu Hesheng was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing special, it's just... to allow you to recognize your master."
"Xu Hesheng" pounced over suddenly.
He stared at Li Si intently: "It's you!"
"Xu Hesheng" figured it out and realized that the problem arose after Li Si approached him.
He will tell the truth.
"What on earth have you done!"
Li Si stood up and looked down at him.
"Don't you know what I did?"
Xu Hesheng stared at him intently: "What on earth did you do!"
"It's just a little trick. Your master has already abandoned you. Do you still want to continue hiding?"
Li Si patiently and persuadingly.
"Xu Hesheng" was silent for a while.
"Do you think your master can hide?"
"Soon, you two, master and servant, will be reunited."
Li Si doesn't like such people.
He has been with Chu Jinshen and has seen countless ups and downs.
But it is extremely vicious to harm so many people for one's own selfish reasons.
"Now you can tell me what happened."
Xu Hesheng was stunned: "What do you want to say?"
"I just want to ask, what exactly is going on with the bandit incident?"
"Xu Hesheng" loosened his hands slightly.
"Don't you know everything?"
Li Si half squatted down and looked at him.
"What I know depends on what you say."
"After all... there are some truths that need to be known."
Li Si stayed because he knew Lu Anan's arrangements.
It seems that Xu Hesheng is indeed not a good person.
What is the hidden story? What is the last resort?
It's all just fakery.
"The shopkeeper...what's going on?"
"Xu Hesheng" chuckled.
"How do you know that?"
"The shopkeeper has a bright future, so why was he sent to Hongcheng?"
"Shouldn't Master Xu explain himself?"
