As soon as Uncle Xu came back from outside, he heard Xiao Wu say that Yan Wushuang had fainted.
"Why did Xiao Hei fainted?" Xiao Hei was the name Xu Bo gave to Yan Wushuang.
Xiao Wu said with a guilty conscience: "I told him that his mother-in-law was killed by Tong Chunlin." He had been sad when he got the news, and urgently needed someone to talk to him. And Xu Bo is obviously not a good confidant.
Many people in Shengjing fled outside, and there were many vacant houses. Xu Bo took Yan Wushuang and Xiao Wu and hid in the cellar of a large family in the backyard. Originally, the family left the concierge and wife of the house. It's just that everyone is hesitating. Hearing the call from Donghu people, the master's house on the front foot had gone, the concierge and the wife on the back foot also packed up their things and ran to the countryside. If Donghu people come, they can hide in the mountains in the countryside. But if you are in the city, it will make you feel bad every day.
The cellar has poor lighting and poor ventilation. But it was night, Xu Bo opened the entrance halfway.
I lighted the kerosene lamp with a fire-folder, and the cellar instantly lit up. Looking at Yan Wushuang, who was lying on the cotton wool with a gray color, Uncle Xu didn't say anything, just stepped forward and pinched him. .
Yan Wushuang had never met Xu Bo. When he woke up, he saw him asking vigilantly: "Who are you?"
Xu Bo said: "I am the old Xu who is in charge of the warehouse in the Marshal's Mansion. My wife has entrusted me to send you out of Shengjing."
Yan Wushuang knew that their marshal's mansion hid the dragon and crouching tiger, so he didn't doubt the words: "Where is my mother? Where is my mother now?" When he said this, his eyes were pleading.
Xu Bo calmly said, "Madam has been killed by Tong Chunlin. Shen Dong and others were all killed by Tong Chunlin. Even the servant wives who escaped were also captured by the officers and soldiers." Unexpectedly, Concubine Song and the brothers of the Song family would not even let the marshal's subordinates be spared.
Yan Wushuang grabbed Xu Bo's clothes and asked, "Why? Why didn't you bring my mother out together." If his mother escaped with him, she would not die.
Xu Bo broke Yan Wushuang's hands apart and whispered, "Do you know why Tong Chunlin besieged the Marshal's Mansion? Because Wujun listened to the slander and thought that the Donghu people were brought in by the Marshal, so he wanted to punish Yan Wushuang's family. Madam did not want the marshal to bear the burden. This kind of grievance stayed and angered Tong Chunlin and told the truth that Tongcheng was forced to enter the pass." He couldn't tell Yan Wushuang that Zhang had stayed to cover her. In this way, Yan Wushuang would collapse.
The blue veins on Yan Wushuang's forehead became violent when he even slandered his father for letting Donghu people in. There are such shameless people in this world.
Xiao Wu asked, "Uncle Xu, what is the truth?"
Xu Bo said lightly: "The truth is that Concubine Song and the Song brothers colluded with the Donghu people and let them in and killed the Marshal. Then he beat him back and said that the Marshal had collided with the enemy and treason."
"Why? Why are they doing this?"
Xu Bo said: “Concubine Song not only wants to be a queen, she also wants her son to be a prince. The marshal is the biggest obstacle to her ambitions. As long as the marshal dies, the queen and the prince can easily be abandoned. "
Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth and said: "Song Guifei, Song Huaijin, Song Huaiyu..."
Xu Bo shook his head and said, "No, Master, your biggest enemy is not the Song family sister and brother, but the faint lord. If it weren't for his mediocrity, the marshal would not die, let alone be splashed with dirty water after death. "
Xiao Wu was shocked when he heard: "Uncle Xu, foster father taught us to be loyal to the emperor and patriot..." But Xu Bo's words clearly wanted them to oppose the emperor and the court. This is completely contrary to his education.
Xu Bo interrupted him and said, "What does such a mediocre emperor do to be loyal to him? Does he still have to guard Liaodong like a marshal, and finally he was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason after the war?"
Xiao Wu was a bit eager, but didn't know how to refute it.
Yan Wushuang said word by word: "One day, I will take the heads of Wujun and the enchanting sister and brother to pay homage to my father and my mother." Therefore, he will not let any of the people who participated in the frame of his family be spared. He wants these people to pay their debts.
Xiao Wu was frightened to hear.
Xu Bo said with satisfaction, "Okay." He respected Marshal Yan very much and admired his noble character. But this does not mean that he agrees with Marshal Yan's behavior.
If it were replaced by him, he would surely hold Liaodong tightly in his hands and become the emperor of Liaodong. In this way, even the court can't help him, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks the Song family's sister and brother have, they can't succeed. Unfortunately, Marshal Yan couldn't listen to these words. Therefore, he didn't say anything, just guarding the warehouse quietly.
Yan Wushuang hadn't eaten for three days and was very weak.
Xu Bo said: "You lie down, I'll go to make steamed buns for you to eat." Although it is the big night, he dare not cook. If there is smoke, officers and soldiers will be attracted. So, he just boiled water on a small fire, and then soaked the buns in boiling water to drink.
After eating a big bowl of steamed buns, Yan Wushuang lay back on the cotton wool and asked, "Where did my mother ask you to send me?"
Xu Bo said, "Madam let me take you to Pingcheng to find the uncle." Yan Wushuang's uncle is the prefect of Pingcheng.
Yan Wushuang nodded, indicating that he knew.
Xu Bo looked at him in a very poor spirit and said, "Master, you have a good rest these few days and keep your spirits up. I am too anxious, and I will take you out of the city when the city gate is opened and the guard is not so strict." Now the city gate is closed. Don't even think about going out of town. However, this gate cannot be left open forever.
Yan Wushuang hummed and closed his eyes.
After Xu Bo and Xiao Wu left, Yan Wushuang opened his eyes and sat up. Seeing the flickering lights, Yan Wushuang's tears fell drop by drop. The parents and brothers are gone, as are the beloved elders in the mansion. They were all dead, so he was left alone.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Yan Wushuang hurriedly wiped away the tears, then lay down and closed his eyes.
Xu Bo heard the sound just now and knew that Yan Wushuang was not asleep. He sat next to Yan Wushuang and said softly: "Madam actually asked me to take you to Spring City to find Tang Xingping, the great treasurer of Yongsheng Commercial Company."
"Tang Xingping?" He had never heard of this person.
Xu Bo said: "Since the lady has confessed, then this person should be very reliable." Logically speaking, the Marshal's Mansion shouldn't have anything to do with the big shopkeeper of a business firm. But since Zhang gave such orders, she wanted to come here because of her.
Yan Wushuang stared at him and said, "Why did you just go to Pingcheng to find my uncle?"
It's not that Zhang couldn't believe her elder brother, but because of the relationship between relatives. People from the court would definitely stare at his elder brother. Yan Wushuang surrendered to him, which was tantamount to surrendering himself.
If Xu Bo didn't say it, he naturally had his reasons: "One more person knows, the more danger."
Yan Wushuang didn't like Xu Bo's suspiciousness: "Xiao Wu grew up with me, I believe he will never betray me."
Xu Bo felt that Yan Wushuang was still too immature, or that he was protected by the marshal and his wife too well: "Once Xiao Wu is arrested, he will most likely confess the matter under torture. In this way, you will have the last escape. It's all gone."
Before Yan Wushuang could speak, Xu Bo said: "Some punishments will make life worse than death, even hard-core heroes can't hold it, let alone Xiaowu is just a child."
Yan Wushuang said, "You can leave it alone." He didn't want to hide Xiao Wu, but he knew that Xu Bo was right. The journey to Spring City was hundreds of miles away and the officers and soldiers were chasing him. The road was very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be caught.
Uncle Xu said: "You asked in front of him, what would he think if I didn't say it?"
"Xiao Wu is not such a careful person."
Xu Bo did not give an explanation for this, but just said: "I have my own reason for doing this. Master, for your good and for his own good, don't tell him this."
Yan Wushuang was not stupid either. Xu Bo on the front said he would go to Pingcheng to find his uncle, but on the back he told Xiao Wu that he was actually going to the Spring City to find Tang Xingping. This let Xiao Wu know that he would definitely have an opinion on Xu Bo. The three of them can't be centrifugal now.
On the second day, Xu Bo knew that the city gate had opened when he went out. However, after he returned, he did not tell Yan Wushuang and Xiao Wu about the matter. Because he knew that the first few days before the gate was opened, it was the most stringent time of investigation, and there were even secretly watching everyone who came in and out. It takes a while to get out of the city.
There was no news of Yan Wushuang after the city gate opened for three days, which made Tong Chunlin a little irritable.
Lian Guo said, "General, Yan Wushuang must have been out of the city. If we were in the city, we wouldn't be unable to find him." They searched three times, but no one was found. .
Tong Chunlin shook his head and said: "Impossible, Yan Wushuang must still be in the city. There are many people who have benefited from the Yan family. Now Marshal Yan has only a drop of his blood left. These people will also protect him at the risk of his life." And this, This is also the reason for Tong Chunlin's irritability.
Lian Guo's expression changed slightly: "General, I will search the city again with my troops now."
Tong Chunlin nodded.
At this moment, the outside guard reported that Grandpa Duan had come. Hearing this person, Tong Chunlin showed disgust on his face.
After being beaten last time, Father Duan was also afraid of Tong Chunlin. I have asked Tong Chunlin first about everything, and only dare to do anything with his consent.
It was also father-in-law Duan's hand to take back the maid-in-law who had escaped from the marshal's mansion. It's a pity that Ping'er and Xi'er, whom Zhang relied most on, committed suicide. Little is known about others. So, no useful information was asked.
Tong Chunlin looked at Father Duan and asked with a sullen face: "What's the matter?" He was impatient to see Father Duan because it was this eunuch who made him unable to advance or retreat.
Duan Gonggong said: "General, Yan Wushuang hasn't found it yet. Our family has an idea, we can definitely lead Yan Wushuang out."
"Say."
Father Duan's idea was to hang Zhang's body on the wall: "General, I heard that Yan Wushuang is very filial. If he knows this, he will take the risk to collect the body."
Hanging Zhang's body on the city wall would not attract Yan Wushuang, but would make him hate himself deeply. In addition, it will cause public outrage. Tong Chunlin looks at Father Duan like an idiot, but I don't know how he got here now.
