Chapter 856 Han Fu's Death

In Gaoyi City, chaos suddenly arose.

Although the fact that Ju Shou and others were secretly communicating with Su Yao was eventually exposed in advance, and there was nothing wrong with the response of Min Chun, the deputy driver, the city of Gaoyi had already been riddled with holes under the powerful military force of Su Yao.

Although Min Chun issued reliable and timely orders, not many soldiers carried them out properly.

On the contrary, someone tipped off Min Chun. When he rushed to the prison to confirm the situation, Ju Shou, Shen Pei and others had already learned the details. They took the initiative and led their trusted men straight to the county magistrate's office.

The young officer in the mansion, seeing that the newcomers had ill intentions and were coming under the banner of capturing and killing rebels, thought that Su Yao had already launched an attack with a large army, and that the city would be captured at any moment with the help of the inside and outside forces.

Therefore, the junior officers, who were afraid of being implicated, dispersed and made way when faced with Ju Shou and others.

As a result, when Min Chun, the second-in-command of Jizhou and commander of the entire city defense army, arrived, he had no one available except a dozen personal guards around him. He could only look at the hundreds of rebels under the pavilion and was furious.

"Thief!"

"Thief!"

"Release the envoy quickly!"

Min Chun roared, drew the sword from his waist, and rushed forward with his guards, trying to break through the encirclement of Ju Shou and others and rescue Han Fu.

However, Ju Su was well prepared.

Ju Su just waved his hand, and the soldiers in the back row drew their swords, formed a dense formation, and blocked Min Chun and others outside.

On one side, they had the elite guards wearing armor and well-trained, while on the other side, they had the soldiers from the aristocratic families who were numerous and had high morale. The two sides were in a tense standoff, and neither side was absolutely sure that it could defeat the opponent immediately.

"Min Biejia, now that things have come to this, why are you still so stubborn?"

Ju Su shouted loudly:

"Envoy Han, the situation is hopeless. Gaoyi City is powerless to recover. If you are sensible, you can lay down your weapons and surrender to the imperial court with us. You may be able to save your life. If you continue to be stubborn, you will die in vain!"

"fart!"

Min Chun's eyes widened with anger, and he waved his sword in an attempt to break through the defense line:

"Min, I am Han's man in life and Han's ghost in death! You betrayed your master for glory, you are shameless. Today, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"

After saying that, Min Chun roared and led his guards in a fierce charge.

Although the battle formation of the family soldiers under Ju Shou's command looked well-organized, Min Chun's personal guards were well-equipped and well-trained, and Min Chun led the charge, which actually threw their formation into chaos.

"Steady, steady!"

"Don't panic, someone come and catch Han Fu!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ju Shou shouted loudly to keep the position steady, while commanding some of his soldiers to go around the flanks, trying to contain the attack of Min Chun and others from the side.

Shen Pei also reacted quickly and personally led a team of brave household soldiers to rush towards the pavilion where Han Fu was, intending to control Han Fu as soon as possible and force Min Chun to surrender.

Inside the pavilion, many dancers and singers heard the deafening shouting and screaming outside and were so frightened that they trembled all over and huddled in the corner.

Han Fu himself was pacing back and forth in the room, his eyes full of fear and despair.

At this moment, he was full of resentment towards the betrayal of Ju Shou and others, but he was helpless.

"Oh My God!"

"I told you that we should kill Ju Gongyu, but you just wouldn't do it!"

"Now, they have come to kill us. What do you think we should do?"

Next to Han Fu, a beautiful concubine with heavy makeup on was complaining loudly, and her sharp voice was particularly piercing in this tense atmosphere. Han Fu was upset, and when he heard this, he turned around, raised his hand and slapped the concubine in the face, shouting:

"Shut up! How dare you make noise at this hour!"

The concubine was beaten to the ground, covering her face with her hands, her eyes full of fear and grievance, but she dared not utter another sound.

However, the concubines did not dare to disobey him, as the soldiers outside would not show mercy.

As the door of the pavilion was hit more and more violently, Han Fu's staff looked at each other, cold sweat constantly oozing from their foreheads.

One of the older confidants trembled and said, "Sir, how about... how about we just pretend to be nice for now and make plans when we find an opportunity?"

When Han Fu heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to respond, there was a "bang" and the door was pushed open. Shen Pei rushed in with a group of murderous family soldiers.

The soldiers were as fierce as wolves and tigers, rushing up the stairs. Anyone who blocked their way was hacked to death with a single blow, no matter if they were high-ranking officials, servants, or beautiful singers.

"Shen Zhengnan, you traitor!"

Han Fu's eyes were red, and he held the armrest, roaring like a mad beast:

"Han, I have treated you well, yet you dare to betray me. You will die a miserable death!"

"Envoy Han!"

Hearing Han Fu's voice, Shen Pei raised his head and snorted coldly:
"The general's army is approaching. For the sake of the people of Jizhou, I hope you can follow the trend."

After saying this, Shen Pei waved his hand, and the family soldiers spread out in a fan shape, surrounding Han Fu and others.

Han Fu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He held his sword tightly in his hand, but he was powerless to reverse the situation.

He glanced around in despair, and saw that the retainers and soldiers who usually obeyed him were now avoiding his sight and standing on the side of the traitor. He then looked at the concubines and beauties whose faces were pale with fear, and he sighed, his heart filled with sadness.

If he had not listened to the flattery of those Jizhou families and had not raised an army against the Su Dynasty, how could he have come to this point now?
"You have misled me, you have misled me!"

After saying this, Han Fu suddenly drew out his sword and swung it towards his neck without hesitation.

"what?!"

"do not want!"

"Wait a minute!"

Right in front of everyone's eyes, no one expected that this indecisive and somewhat stubborn Han Shijun would choose such a decisive way to end his life at the last moment.

Amidst the screams, the sharp blade scratched his neck, and blood gushed out immediately. Han Fu's body swayed and then fell to the ground with a bang. He died with his eyes wide open.

His retainers and servants were stunned at first, and then they wailed. The woman who had been slapped by Han Fu before shouted "No" and rushed over to try to check Han Fu's injuries without paying attention to the soldiers' attempts to stop her.

But the wide-open eyes and the gushing blood announced that everything was beyond repair.

Shen Pei looked at Han Fu's body with a complicated expression. There was a hint of emotion about the friendship between the lord and subject in the past, but more of a consideration of the current situation.

"What are you all standing there for?!"

"Quick, take Han Fu's head and carefully place his body. Keep the rest of the people under strict guard and wait for the general to deal with them!"

Upon hearing this, the family soldiers acted quickly. They drove all the concubines and servants of Han Fu at the scene to a corner of the upper floor of the pavilion and surrounded them, but no one dared to touch Han Fu's body.

After all, he was the lord of Jizhou. For these ordinary family soldiers, they would inevitably be afraid to dispose of his corpse rashly.

Shen Pei frowned when he saw this. Although he was annoyed at the cowardice of these family soldiers, time was pressing and he had to take action himself.

He walked forward, drew the short knife from his waist, took a deep breath, squatted down, pushed aside Han Fu's hair, and slashed down with the knife.
