[Chapter 2052 Yan Wushuang Fanwai (7)]
As soon as Xu Bo came back from outside, he heard Xiao Wu say that Yan Wushuang had passed out.
“Why did Xiao Hei faint?” Xiao Hei was the name Xu Bo gave to Yan Wushuang.
Xiao Wu said with some guilty conscience: “I told him that my adoptive mother was killed by Tong Chunlin.” He has been very sad when he got this news, and urgently needs to find someone to talk to. And Xu Bo is obviously not a good person to talk to.
Many people in Shengjing fled outside, and there are many vacant houses. Uncle Xu took Yan Wushuang and Xiao Wu to hide in the cellar in the backyard of a large family. Originally, the family left the concierge and mother-in-law who guarded the house. It’s just that everyone cherished their lives, and when they heard the call from the Donghu people, the front foot, the main house, and the back foot concierge and the wife also packed up and ran to the country. If the Donghu people came, they could hide in the mountains in the countryside. But if you are in the city, you will be in trouble every day and the earth will not work.
The cellar is poorly lit and poorly ventilated. But it was night, and Xu Bo opened the entrance halfway.
The kerosene lamp was lit with a fire switch, and the cellar was instantly lit up. Looking at Yan Wushuang, who was lying on the cotton wool, in gray and pale, Uncle Xu didn’t say anything, just stepped forward and pinched him. .
Yan Wushuang had never seen Uncle Xu, and when he woke up, he saw his face and asked vigilantly, “Who are you?”
Uncle Xu said, “I am Lao Xu, who is in charge of the warehouse in the Marshal’s Mansion. Madam entrusted me to take you out of Shengjing.”
Yan Wushuang knew that their marshal’s mansion hides dragons and crouching tigers, so he did not doubt this: “Where is my mother? Where is my mother now?” When he said this, his eyes showed pleading.
Xu Bo said calmly, “Mrs. Tong has already been killed by Tong Chunlin. Shen Dong and the others have all been killed by Tong Chunlin. Even the servants who escaped were captured by officers and soldiers.” Never would have thought that Concubine Song Guifei and the Song brothers would even spare the subordinates of the marshal.
Yan Wushuang grabbed Uncle Xu’s clothes and asked, “Why? Why didn’t you bring my mother out with you.” If his mother escaped with her, she would not die.
Xu Bo separated Yan Wushuang’s hands and said softly, “Do you know why Tong Chunlin besieged the Marshal’s Mansion? Because Jun Jun listened to the slander and believed that the Donghu people were brought in by the Marshal, so he wanted to kill Yan’s family. Madam didn’t want the Marshal to bear the burden. This kind of grievance, he stayed and scolded Tong Chunlin, and told the truth that Tongcheng forced the Donghu people to enter the customs.” He couldn’t tell Yan Wushuang that Zhang was staying to cover her. In this way, Yan Wushuang will collapse.
He even slandered his father for letting the Donghu people in, and the blue veins on Yan Wushuang’s forehead burst out. There are such shameless people in this world.
Xiao Wu asked, “Uncle Xu, what is the truth?”
Uncle Xu said lightly: “The truth is that Concubine Song and the brothers of the Song family colluded with the Donghu people, let them in and killed the marshal. Then they beat him up and said that the marshal had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.”
“Why? Why would they do this?”
Xu Bo said: “Song Guifei not only wants to be the queen herself, she also wants her son to be the prince. The marshal is the biggest obstacle to her ambitions. As long as the marshal dies, the queen and the prince can easily live and be abolished. ”
Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth and said, “Song Guifei, Song Huaijin, Song Huaiyu…”
Uncle Xu shook his head and said, “No, young master, your biggest enemy is not the Song family siblings, but the faint-hearted prince. If it wasn’t for his incompetence, the marshal would not have died, and he would not have been splashed with dirty water after his death. ”
Xiao Wu’s heart trembled when he heard it: “Uncle Xu, foster father taught us to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic…” But Uncle Xu clearly wanted them to be against the emperor and against the court. This is completely contrary to his education.
Xu Bo interrupted him and said, “What is the loyalty of such a foolish emperor to him? Do you still want to protect Liaodong like a marshal, and finally be charged with treason after the death of the war?”
Xiao Wu was a little anxious, but he didn’t know how to refute it.
Yan Wushuang said word by word: “One day, I will take the heads of the three people, the dizzy master and the demon sister and brother, to pay homage to my father and mother.” Therefore, he will not let anyone who participated in the framing of his family let go. He wants these people to pay with blood.
Xiao Wu was frightened when he heard it.
However, Uncle Xu said with relief: “Okay.” He respected Marshal Yan very much, and admired his noble character. But this does not mean that he agrees with Marshal Yan’s way of doing things.
If it is replaced by him, he will definitely hold Liaodong tightly in his hands and become the emperor of Liaodong. If this is the case, even the imperial court can’t help him, and no amount of conspiracy and tricks by the Song family can succeed. Unfortunately, Marshal Yan couldn’t hear these words. So, he didn’t say anything, just quietly guarding the warehouse.
Yan Wushuang had not eaten for three days and was very weak.
Xu Bo said: “You lie down, and I’ll go make buns for you to eat.” Although it was a big night, he didn’t dare to set fire to cook. If there is smoke, officers and soldiers will be attracted. So, he just boiled the water with a small fire, and then soaked the bought 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 take me?”
Uncle Xu said, “Madam asked me to take you to Pingcheng to find your uncle.” Yan Wushuang’s eldest uncle was the prefect of Pingcheng.
Yan Wushuang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing his poor spirit, Xu Bo said: “Master, you have a good rest these days to keep your spirits up. If you are in a hurry, I will take you out of the city when the city gate is opened and the security is not so strict.” Now that the city gate is closed, Don’t even think about going out of town. However, this gate cannot be closed forever.
Yan Wushuang hummed and closed his eyes.
After Uncle Xu and Xiao Wu left, Yan Wushuang opened his eyes and sat up. Looking at the flickering lights, Yan Wushuang’s tears fell drop by drop. My parents and brothers are gone, as are the beloved elders in the house. All dead, leaving him alone.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Yan Wushuang quickly wiped away her tears, then lay down and closed her eyes.
Uncle Xu heard the sound just now and knew that Yan Wushuang had not slept. Sitting next to Yan Wushuang, he said softly, “Madam actually asked me to take you to Spring City to find Tang Xingping, the chief shopkeeper of Eternal Life Trading Company.”
“Tang Xingping?” He had never heard of this person.
Xu Bo said: “Since Madam has explained it, this person should be very reliable.” Logically speaking, the Marshal’s Mansion should not have anything to do with the big shopkeeper of a business. But since Mrs. Zhang gave such an order, she wanted to come for her reasons.
Yan Wushuang stared at him and said, “Why did you just say you were going to Pingcheng to find my uncle?”
It’s not that Zhang can’t trust her eldest brother, but because of the relationship of relatives. The people in the imperial court will definitely stare at his elder brother. Yan Wushuang defected to him, which was equivalent to throwing himself into the net.
Uncle Xu didn’t say it, naturally he had his reasons: “The more people know, the more danger.”
Yan Wushuang didn’t like Xu Bo’s suspicion: “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 too well protected by the marshal and his wife: “Once Xiao Wu is arrested, he will probably confess this matter under torture. In this way, you will not even be able to escape. It’s gone.”
Before Yan Wushuang could speak, Xu Bo said: “Some punishments will make life worse than death, even a strong hero can’t bear it, let alone Xiao Wu is just a child.”
Yan Wushuang said: “You don’t have to say it.” He didn’t want to hide Xiao Wu, but he knew that Uncle Xu was right. It was a long way to go to Spring City for hundreds of miles and the officers and soldiers were chasing him. The road was very dangerous. If you’re not careful, you might get caught.
Uncle Xu said, “You asked in front of him, what would he think if I didn’t say it?”
“Xiao Wu is not that cautious.”
Uncle Xu did not explain this, but said: “I do this for my own reasons. Young master, for your own good and his own, don’t tell him about it.”
Yan Wushuang is not stupid, Xu Bo said to go to Pingcheng to find his uncle, but he told Xiaowu that he was actually going to Chuncheng 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 distracted now.
The next day, when Xu Bo went out, he knew that the city gate was open. However, after he returned, he did not tell Yan Wushuang and Xiao Wu about this. Because he knew that the first few days of the city gate were the most severe interrogations, and there were even secretly people monitoring everyone who came in and out. It will take a while to get out of the city.
Three days after the city gate was open, there was still no news of Yan Wushuang, which made Tong Chunlin a little irritable.
Lian Guo said: “General, Yan Wushuang must have left the city. If we were in the city, we couldn’t find him.” They searched three times, but found no one. .
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, and now Marshal Yan has only a drop of his blood left, and these people will protect him even if they risk their lives.” And this, It was also the reason why Tong Chunlin was irritable.
Lian Guo’s expression changed slightly: “General, I will lead the troops to search the city again.”
Tong Chunlin nodded.
At this moment, the guard outside reported that Eunuch Duan was here. Hearing this person, Tong Chunlin showed disgust.
After being beaten last time, Eunuch Duan was also afraid of Tong Chunlin. I asked Tong Chunlin before anything, and only dared to do it with his consent.
It was also Eunuch Duan’s handwriting to capture the old maid who escaped from the marshal’s mansion. It’s a pity that Ping’er and Xi’er, who were most relied upon by Zhang’s family, committed suicide, and little is known about them. So, no useful information was asked.
Tong Chunlin looked at Eunuch Duan, and asked with a sullen face, “Is there something?”
Eunuch Duan said, “General, Yan Wushuang has not been found yet. Our family has an idea that will definitely lead Yan Wushuang out.”
“Say.”
Eunuch Duan’s idea was to hang Zhang’s body on the city wall: “General, I heard that Yan Wushuang is very filial. If he knew about this, he would definitely take the risk to collect the body.”
Hanging Zhang’s body on the city wall will not attract Yan Wushuang, but will make him hate himself to the core. In addition, there will be public outrage. Tong Chunlin looked at Eunuch Duan like an idiot, but he didn’t know how he got to this position with this IQ.
