Chapter 170
He and Su Xuezhi looked at each other for a moment.
"This is a very interesting old thing," he lay back and said.
"As long as it has something to do with you, I want to hear everything." She immediately leaned towards him and responded to him.
He Hanzhu smiled slightly, raised his hand, touched her head that was approaching, and told him about the story of King Zheng Long, who found the descendants of the traitor a few days ago.
Su Xuezhi knew about the He family back then, but he did not expect that the Wang family, who later protected the He brothers and sisters, was the initiator. All this was just because the old man was worried about his old love and gave people a chance to change his life, but he did not expect that a thought of kindness would bring back the consequences.
Knowing that people's hearts are in danger, but they are so terrifying, Su Xuezhi couldn't help but feel a little scared when she thought about it.
She looked at He Hanzhu.
He closed his eyes and his jaw lines were tight, which should be caused by gritting his teeth. His mood was bleak, which shows his bleakness.
He must have feelings for the people of the Wang family. He is probably the person who least wants the truth to be so.
However, this is the truth.
She wanted to say something, but for a moment she didn't know what to say. Without the matter on her, she couldn't really experience what it felt like.
In the end, she said nothing, leaned over, stretched out her arms, and hugged him.
He hugged her back and hugged her tightly. The two hugged each other quietly for a moment, and he spoke again.
"Wang Xiaokun's father followed my grandfather for decades, and was promoted by my grandfather because of his talent. Later, the two families also got close to each other. His grandfather really regarded the Wang family as a relative and regarded his children as his own. Especially Wang Xiaokun, his grandfather admired him very much and often said that he was not a thing in the pool. His grandfather appointed people based on his merits. After becoming an official, he refused many He family relatives who came to seek official positions, but he promoted them vigorously to the Wang family's father and son. The Wang family has always shown loyalty and integrity. I was not in good health at a young age. I remember that when I was five or six years old, my family found a famous doctor and prescribed a prescription for me. You also know that many so-called famous doctors like to make some things called medicinal citations in the prescription. The prescription designated a flower stem called Hongchaizhi as medicinal citations, and also limited a tree that had been more than five hundred years old for trees.
Ling. Grandfather couldn't find it for a while, and he himself was a little familiar with the medical sciences, thinking that the so-called famous doctor prescription was mysterious and abandoned. But the Wang family was very careful and found out that this kind of tree grew in the south and sent someone to search for it without telling it. At that time, the Wang family did not have much family resources. Wang Xiaokun had a horse that he loved. Some people liked. He had offered a large price before, but he was reluctant to sell it. That time, he sold the horse and used the money he had exchanged to find medicine. The next year, the Wang family finally found something in the deep mountains of the south and brought it back. I drank the medicine, but it didn't work, but my grandfather was deeply moved by it. I think this was probably because he couldn't bear to directly punish the Wang family later. Grandfather remembered his old love, but he didn't know that the other party was rich and noble, and the human heart was no longer the same as before..."
He paused, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was even more dull.
Su Xuezhi hugged him tighter.
He was silent for a moment and continued, "What happened at home that year. After about half a year of trouble, my sister and I were protected by the Wang family. It's okay for me, where can I settle down, but Lan Xue finally didn't have to follow me and live a stable life. At that time, I never thought that the Wang family was also involved. They took in my sister and me, and this behavior was like a timely help. In the years that followed, I had the idea of repaying my kindness, and in order to accumulate the qualification to revenge Lu Hongda, I did a lot of things for Wang Xiaokun that he was inconvenient for himself, black and white, and I had no choice."
"It was also in the past two years that as more and more information was collected, I began to think of the Wang family. But I still hope in my heart, and hoped that all of this was just my overthinking, now..."
Now, the facts proved that his doubts were not too much. The veil of warmth was completely torn apart, revealing the dark side of the human heart that was stained with blood and the sun could not shine.
"You just said you wanted to go back. Is it related to this?" Su Xuezhi asked him.
He opened his eyes to her and nodded.
"yes."
"Wang Xiaokun has made every plan. I gradually prevented him. He must have been aware of it. He can use me more and more. After he came to power, he let me enter the general's mansion and urge me to be the commander. On the surface, he was extremely honored and had great power, but he would never let me gain real military power. Without military power and not enough independent troops to be dispatched by me, I will always be just a tool under him. If I don't have to kill me, I can't get out of his palm. So after he came to power, he first dealt with the Northwest Army. They have a connection with me. If there is another internal strife, Wang Xiaokun will not only weaken his dissidents and reap profits, but will also be a major blow to me."
Su Xuezhi thought for a while: "Then can you get out?"
"You asked right. There was a chance."
He Hanzhu told her that just last week, an accident occurred in the non-commissioned officer school in Baoding. An instructor criticized the slaughter-style family education who was only loyal to individuals, advocated the spiritual education of turning private into public, and excluding traitors within. However, his superiors suspected that he was sarcastic and dissatisfied with the authorities and revoked his teaching position. Unexpectedly, the instructor was shot and clashed. In the chaos, the instructor was shot and killed. The students were excited and occupied the school with weapons and demanded severe punishment for the murderer. The other party was a relative of the Wang family and fled to the capital for help. The military headquarters appeased the students and sent people to negotiate, but the students were angry and proposed to see He Hanzhu. If he had not come in person, he would never stop.
"The chaos in this matter is quite a mess. Now it is being forced to suppress it, so the news has not been reported. I guess Wang Xiaokun also wants to calm the incident down earlier and agree to let me go. When it is resolved, I will not go back to Beijing, find an excuse, take action first and then report, and go straight to the road."
The former boss and subordinates, father Zhi and nephew, are now alienated and guarded against each other, but they are still kind on the surface. Wang Xiaokun, a fierce tiger, has prey in his mouth, but he has no idea how to put his mouth down.
"Then are we going together? My business is almost done, so I can set off at any time."
"You go first and meet on the road."
Su Xuezhi nodded. The two discussed their specific plans to leave Beijing again, until late at night, they fell asleep together.
Su Xuezhi was about to set off. A few days later, after the matter of the West Farm Laboratory was explained, Ding Chunshan was still stationed. She took a simple luggage and accompanied by the sent people, and took a train out of Beijing to the south. After passing by Baoding, she got off at a small station called Qingfengdian, found a place, and lived there.
She waited here for three days. On the third night, He Hanzhu arrived as promised. The two met and took the last train passing here that night and continued southward.
On the train, He Hanzhu told her that the military academy had been resolved. He secretly left the Qiang here under the cover of his own people. Wang Xiaokun sent his companions to monitor the rest of him. He probably didn't know that he had left. Even if he knew, he couldn't catch up now. Half an hour later, they got off the train in Dingzhou, the next stop, where they had arranged a pickup there, and after getting together, they left overnight.
Tomorrow he will send a telegram to Wang Xiaokun, telling him that he is not feeling well and ask for a temporary leave of absence for three months, hoping that he will be allowed to leave. When he arrives at the place, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away, and he has the final say.
In order to avoid attracting attention, they were riding in an ordinary carriage, sitting in a position at the corner. It was already midnight, the lights in the carriage were dim and the air was stuffy. The passengers were stumbled around, all of which were dizzy and sleepy, snoring, teeth grinding, smacking, children crying, and the sound of slapping and complaining from mosquito bites, and all kinds of messy sounds intertwined. He Hanzhu glanced at his wrist watch.
"Are you sleepy? There is still half an hour left to rest. I'll call you when I'm here." He lowered his head, held his ear and said to her softly.
Su Xuezhi nodded. He Hanzhu put his hat on her head to cover the lights in the car for her. Su Xuezhi half of her face was hidden under the hat, leaned against his shoulder, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Her spirit was slightly nervous, as if she was about to embark on an adventure, and she was a little excited. Besides, how could she sleep in just half an hour? Soon, gradually, the train slowed down. She knew that she was about to arrive at the station, so she hurriedly sat up straight, took off her hat, raised her head, and faced him looking down at her.
"It's time to get off the bus." He smiled slightly and whispered.
Su Xuezhi turned around and looked out the window.
Outside was a large field of wilderness, which was pitch black and there was no feeling of others. Suddenly, a telephone pole passed by the railway, and the pole quickly retreated. Then, a continuous low shed appeared in sight. The passengers who were sleeping in the car also began to stir up. Someone was rushing to grab the car and hurriedly picked up their luggage. A woman was scratched by a bag and scolded her angrily. The other party was not willing to be outdone and scolded, and the quarrel woke up the child, and she cried. Another sleepy conductor leaned in from the entrance of the car. While yawning, he knocked on the wall of the car with a bamboo joint similar to the gavel used by the county magistrate in his hand, shouting: "I'm at the station and I'm off! Get off the train in Dingzhou! I missed it when I'm sleeping. Get off the station and get off the train. I have to make up for nine cents! Don't let me not say anything!"
Everyone in the car woke up. Some sighed, some stretched, some raised their necks and squeezed their faces on the glass to look outside. There was finally a light outside. The train entered the station and stopped. As the people in the carriage competed to go down, He Hanzhu helped Su Xuezhi carry the box and finally got off the train with her.
The passengers who got off the bus gathered on the platform soon dispersed one after another. Su Xuezhi followed He Hanzhu out, stopped at the door, raised his eyes to find someone to pick him up, and suddenly saw several people standing on the open space at the gate of the station. One of them turned around, looked at this side, immediately threw the cigarette smoking, a smile appeared on his face, and turned around and strode towards him.
This is a middle-aged man wearing military uniform and majestic. He is not someone else, but his old acquaintance Zhang Yijiu.
He Hanzhu stopped.
Zhang Yijiu quickly walked up to him, stretched out his hands, held one of He Hanzhu's hands, shook them hard, and smiled as if the two hadn't met for a long time.
"Yanqiao! I've found you here! Hurry up, don't go anywhere, come back to me quickly. Let me tell you that something happened again! The fire broke out! President Wang asked me to invite you back and ask you to come over and help!"
He then told He Hanzhu that several groups of people who still occupy the central and southern regions agreed to negotiate with Beijing to resolve some of the previously unresolved issues. They had sent representatives to the north and arrived soon.
"All old acquaintances are all old friends. If you don't have you here, there may be problems in negotiations. It's about peace. The Chief Minister said that you will be transferred to the Office of the Grand Marshal of the Navy and Army. You must return as soon as possible to discuss major issues!"
After he passed the order seriously, he laughed again, leaned over, and hit He Hanzhu intimately.
"Yanqiao, the general manager really values you very much. He can't live without you in everything! To be honest, if we didn't have a good relationship, I might be really jealous!"
As he spoke, the webmaster and several adjutants of Zhang Yijiu also came up.
The webmaster obviously didn't know the inside story, nodded and bowed to He Hanzhu, with a flattering look on his face. Several adjutants stood at the right moment and bowed a few steps back, with a solemn expression and stood in a queue.
He Hanzhu glanced at the holsters on the lieutenants' waists, slowly put down the suitcase that he was still carrying with him, signaled the subordinates who were walking behind to come up and take it over. He glanced at Su Xuezhi and said, "You go back first. I'm done, and I'll go back."
Zhang Yijiu also turned to her and said with a smile: "Xiao Su, since you have something to do, listen to your cousin's words, go back to you by yourself. As for your cousin, there is no way. He is capable of working too much and has no skills. I am ordered to come and ask, so I will go back to Beijing with him first."
Seeing that Su Xuezhi was silent, He Hanzhu led her aside and whispered: "Since I've been intercepted, I'll go back first."
She looked worried. A smile appeared on his face, he looked down at her, and comforted him: "It's nothing big. If you go back, you will be under more surveillance. It's not that easy for him to touch me. Besides, it's not the time for him to turn against me. He just wants to hold me in the capital and under his nose. I will find another opportunity to get out. You don't have to worry about me, do your own thing."
He waved his hand, asked his subordinates to come over, gave a few instructions, and finally nodded at her, then turned around, walked towards Zhang Yijiu, and smiled and said, "Then go back. I would be sorry to ask you to stay here for the middle of the night."
Zhang Yijiu breathed a sigh of relief, laughed haha, and immediately asked his men to go down and drive.
Several cars came through the night and stopped in line on the side of the road.
Chapter completed!
