Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1141: Massacre of the Village in One Night

Qin Wangfu.

After the court doctor re-bandaged Han Yaohui's wound, Chu Chengye sent all the servants away and talked to his uncle alone.

Han Yaohui moved his injured arm, his eyes as cold as ink:

"Before I returned to Beijing, several top-secret locations had accidents one after another. This is definitely not a coincidence. Has everyone in the palace checked it out? Who else saw the letter I wrote to you?"

Chu Chengye was also puzzled:
"I did find a spy sent by the prince, but he was not given an important position and could not enter my study, so it shouldn't be him.

Others have checked and found nothing wrong. The route you took back to Beijing and the locations of the several manors may not have been leaked from me."

Han Yaohui thought carefully about everyone around him:
“Those who know this information are my close confidants who have known me for a long time and there is no possibility that they will betray me.

The assassin who attacked me that day used a disguise to disguise himself as a guard in the manor. When he attacked me, he was very ruthless and skilled. He was definitely not an unknown person. "

Thinking about the things stored in the manor, Chu Chengye couldn't help feeling scared.

In order to make money over the years, he has stolen a lot of weapons from the Ministry of War. If someone finds out, he will lose his throne, not to mention the throne...

"Uncle, the thief who plotted against you has escaped, which is still a big problem. If he finds the things we stored, it will be a disaster of great magnitude."

Han Yaohui half-closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before speaking again:
"The warehouse where the weapons were stored was dug into by someone, and some of them were taken away. They should have been discovered."

Chu Chengye stood up suddenly in shock, his heart sank:

"Stolen?! What are the guards for!" He thought the situation had gotten to the worst possible point, but Han Yaohui's remaining words chilled his heart.

Before the incident, the inspector Xu Minghua disappeared without a trace while passing through a village near Zhuangzi. Not long after, weapons were stolen from the warehouse, and the perpetrators have not yet been found, and Xu Minghua has not been heard from since.

Although Xu Minghua was only a minor official of the seventh rank and had no foundation in the court, he was a close minister of the emperor with great power. He inspected local officials on behalf of the emperor and could report directly to the emperor through his small-rank supervision.

What if Xu Minghua really discovered it and got the evidence...then my father would know about it soon...

Chu Chengye thought about it for a moment, then slumped back into his chair, gasping for breath in panic.

Han Yaohui glanced at his panic-stricken nephew, and his already uneasy mood became even more upset:
"Why panic? This is just the worst possible scenario. I stayed in the manor for a few days on the pretext of recuperating from my injuries. I have already made proper arrangements. There are spies searching for Xu Minghua.

We also sent people to secretly guard outside several city gates. We would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. No matter if he is the wrong person or not, we will not let him enter Tai'an City alive."

Chu Chengye nodded repeatedly, and after calming himself down, his fearful expression gradually turned fierce, and he discussed the follow-up with Han Yaohui.

After discussing the business, Chu Chengye was no longer flustered and complained casually:
"The village near that village was massacred overnight many years ago. It was a place of trouble. Why did you choose that place?
The emperor is very suspicious. He knows that you did not follow the soldiers back to Beijing and were assassinated alone. I am afraid he will send someone to track you down."

Han Yaohui sneered, his calm eyes revealing a subtle viciousness:
"I was the one who massacred that village."

He turned around and glanced at his stunned nephew, and continued calmly:

"It was your father who ordered this."
