Chapter 14, Yuyang Zhang Chun

Zu Zhao felt a little refreshed. He asked directly, "I just want to know who instructed you to attack the Taishou Mansion?"

Xin Qiubai didn't understand. Her bright and beautiful eyes looked at Zu Zhao doubtfully and asked, "Do you want to know this?"

Zu Zhao nodded and said solemnly, "Yes. Maybe you don't know, because someone once offered a heavy reward for my head. I speculate that this person is the same person as the person who instructed you, at least someone who knows each other.

Xin Qiubai took a slow breath and said seriously, "I really don't know about the reward for your head, and I'm not sure if it's the same person. Since you want to know, I will tell you. From me and Hu people preparing to attack Lingzhi County, to later assassinate the governor of Beiping County, at first, these were all instructed by Zhang Wan in Changcheng. Zhang Wan kept saying that he wanted to walk for heaven and give justice to the people of the world, but these were just his tricks to buy people's hearts.

When Zu Zhao heard the name "Zhang Wan", he was really disappointed. He frowned and asked, "Is it really Zhang Wan?"

Xin Qiubai slowly shook his head and continued, "It was originally Zhang Wan, but later I learned that Zhang Wan was just a chess piece like me, and there was another person behind him operating secretly. After the assassination of Taishou, I was injured and was arranged to go to Yuyang County for treatment. It was during the period of healing that I officially met this person. His name was Zhang Chun. He was originally the governor of Zhongshan, but he abandoned his official and returned to his hometown. Now he is a hegemony in Yuyang County.

After listening to these words, Zu Zhao was relieved: It turned out to be Zhang Chun!

Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju took advantage of the joint rebellion during the Yellow Turban Uprising to kill Liu Zheng, the governor of Youbei County in Youzhou, and Yang, the governor of Liaoxi, harming more than a dozen counties and towns in the north of Youzhou. During this period, Zhang Ju even openly established himself as the king. Zhang Chun proclaimed himself General Mitian, gathered nearly 10,000 people, and colluded with Wuhuan in northern Xinjiang, causing the rebellion for a year. In the end, Liu Yu, the new assassin of Youzhou, divided Wuhuan and Erzhang with a gentle strategy, and sent an army to suppress two rebellions. The two were unpopular and outnumbered. In the end, they were defeated and fled to Hudi in northern Xinjiang. Before long, Wuhuan's leader Qiu Liju felt that Liu Yuzhi was humbated and sent two pieces back.

Zu Zhao originally thought that Zhang Chun's rebellion was not yet, so he never thought it was this person. Unexpectedly, before it really lifted the pole, it had such a bad heart and planned a series of disturbances to divert the attention of the state and county. When the chaos in the state and county did not appear behind the scenes.

He remembered that Zhang Chun originally had the intention to serve the country. When the bicycle general Zhang Wen was conscripting in Youzhou, he recommended himself as a general who was willing to follow the army. However, Zhang Wen had already made a wish to take Gongsun Zan as a general, so he refused Zhang Chun's recommendation. As a result, Zhang Chunqian was angry with Zhang Wen for not knowing talents, and in anger, he led the army to rebel.

Now Gongsun Zan has been under the weight of Zhang Wenqi. Obviously, Zhang Chunye has been frustrated and has only then conspired to plot this series of unrest.

Xin Qiubai saw that Zu Zhao did not say anything, so he said, "When I was in Yuyang County, I often saw Zhang Chun's violent behavior. This person is obviously not a righteous person. That day, I warned him that he was so small-minded that he sent someone to kill me that night. I was lucky enough to get rid of it and came back from Yuyang County.

Zhu Zhaoqi said, "He wants to kill you?"

At this time, he completely understood that no wonder the last time he tried to persuade Xin Qiubai with side-by-side words, Xin Qiubai would react like that and said, "I will kill him the same."

Xin Qiubai turned her head calmly and did not look at Zu Zhao again. Her eyes seemed to fall somewhere outside the window. She said slightly melancholy, "Actually, you are very right. Many things are not what we see. However, it is precisely because of this that I hate you gentry families even more, which are fraudulent, hypocritical and disgusting.

Z Zhao hoped that Xin Qiubai could kill everyone with a stick, but it would be useless to say such words at this time, so he did not defend much. After sighing slightly, he was going to leave. Anyway, the news he should have known, but in the end he still asked, "What are you going to do in the future?"

Xin Qiubai did not turn around and said in a dry voice, "You don't need to care. In a word, I hope we will never meet again in the future, but if we meet again, I will not show mercy when we should be merciless.

Zuzu Zhao smiled without saying anything and said, "Do as you wish."

After saying that, he turned around and left the room.

The next morning, Li Xin came to Zu Zhao, first asked about the preparations for today's departure, and then specifically asked about Xin Qiubai. He did not forget this matter, but gave Zu Zhao enough space to deal with it by himself in the past few days. However, he will leave for the county today. How can Xin Qiubai ignore such an important suspect?

Zu Zhao told the news told by Xin Qiubai yesterday evening, and he said that he would let Xin Qiubai go. Naturally, he had done a good job. Li Xin would lose his temper and thought it was wayward.

However, after listening to Zu Zhao's words, Li Xin fell into a long meditation. After a long time, he just asked, "Did she really say so?"

Zu Zhao nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it's Yuyang Zhang Chun. Speaking of which, I still heard about this person. Not long ago, Zhang Chun recommended himself to Lord Zhang, the riding general, that he would be rejected. Perhaps that's why he holds a grudge.

Li Xinqi said, "How did you hear about this?"

Zu Zhao said calmly, "Sun Bogui, my brother, is now working for the bicycle general Xingyuan. He had a letter with him a few days ago, and he mentioned this matter in the letter."

Anyway, Li Xin doesn't know Gongsun Zan, and even if he knows him at this time, he can't be confronted in Ji County or Liaodong. What's more, there is no need to take this kind of thing too seriously, as long as you can explain the source of the information.

Li Xin sighed: "So that's it. However, Brother Zu, do you really believe in this female thief?

Zu Zhao took a slow breath and said seriously, "This should be true. It was because of a conflict with Zhang Chun that she returned to Youbeiping County from Yuyang County. What's more, there is no conspiracy against her at all, and there is no need to fake it.

Li Xinchang sighed and said with a worried face, "If so, I'm afraid this matter will be quite difficult."

Zu Zhao was slightly stunned and asked, "Brother Xianyan, don't you know something?"

Li Xin said, "You don't know anything. Although I don't know Zhang Chun, I have worked for the county government in the past two months, and I still often heard of Zhang Chun from Yuyang County. Zhang Chun had a letter with Liu Cheng, the eldest son of the Taishou Mansion. I don't know the specifics of what he said, but a few days ago, I heard from the people in the Taishou Mansion's study that Zhang Chun wanted to donate money and grain to help the county suppress the thieves.
