C96 Who dares to kill me?

He Heshen's shrill cries sounded like an angry eunuch, giving off a ghastly and terrifying feeling.

It was hard to imagine that a gentle and refined official of the border would actually display such a crazy performance at the end of his road.

"But speaking of this, he probably still felt that there was a way out!" Xiao Wen thought.

After all, compared to many dynasties in the past and in the future, the Han Dynasty was a dynasties that paid close attention to the relationship between the two dynasties. At the level of He Heshen, unless 100 carriages directly rebelled against him, otherwise, even if he committed a heinous crime, the Emperor would not be able to directly take his life.

At most, he would just have the target minister or general commit suicide and then be buried.

Even though he was going to die, at the very least, he would have more face than being beheaded by the Emperor.

Of course, in the early Han Dynasty, due to his position and power, he made many exceptions and killed many meritorious officials like Han Xin.

But who was Heshen? He was a good-for-nothing who knew nothing about anything except corruption.

If he had the ability to frighten Liu Bang, Nur Haji would have recalled him long ago and given his all to resist the cause of Zhu Yuanzhang. How could he have let him harm the Han Empire?

Therefore, even if he was found to be serving as a spy for the whole city, Heshan would not be put on trial immediately after Liu became aware of it.

In Liu Bang's plan list, he would let Heshen go back to check the situation. When this matter was settled, he would reveal it to the public. He then hinted to Heshen that he should go home and commit suicide. After that, he would be buried alive.

During this long process of formalities, there were naturally a bunch of court elders who had once helped Heshen walk to his current position. They did not want to take responsibility, so they could only pinch their noses and help Heshen wash away his crimes.

Looking at Xiao Wen, He Shen seemed to want to prove his innocence, and shouted in a shrill voice: "I have done meritorious service for the big man, and bled for His Majesty, what right do you have to treat me like this, lowly thing? I want to see His Majesty, I want to see His Majesty! "

Hearing He Heshen's unreasonable words, Xiao Wen scratched his ears and said, "He Heshen, the Emperor is fighting in the Eastern Front right now. He can't be bothered with you. Think about it, how should I explain it! "

"Humph!" Although the soldiers that Xiao Wen had brought scared Heshen, he didn't have any fear towards Xiao Wen himself. He coldly snorted at Xiao Wen, pointed his fat finger at him with the jade ring on his finger, and said with a disdainful attitude, "How dare a lowly commoner like you criticize me? I am the county governor of the Grand Cloud County. You do not have the qualifications to judge me. "

"This is really troublesome!" Seeing Heshen making a ruckus without any reason, even if it was a group of soldiers, none of them seemed to dare to step forward.

"How about I give you a technique that will allow Song Dynasty to cultivate a warhorse in its territory, and you go kill him?" Xiao Wen leaned to the side and whispered to Cai Zhen in a low voice.

Hearing this, Cai Zheng's eyelids twitched.

Having seen Xiao Wen Cai learn this technique, he naturally didn't doubt that Xiao Wen would be able to come up with true skills.

To breed war horses in an existing territory was indeed a very tempting thing for the Great Song.

One of the reasons why the Song Dynasty was the weakest among the other countries was because they had lived up to their title of 'Great Master', be it the Emperor, the government officials, or even the army.

On the other hand, they lacked war horses.

One had to know that the war horses and cavalry had an extremely important role to play in the period of the feudal dynasty.

His role not only reflected in the light cavalry scouting, the cavalry flying kites, the heavy cavalry taking away all the enemies in the field in waves, but also in the fact that no matter how heavy the situation was, the cavalry could be used in the war to pursue the fleeing enemy troops and annihilate them.

After all, if you don't have any cavalry, no matter how strong your infantry is, you can only chase them away. Without the cavalry, there was no effective way to pursue the enemy and increase the success of the battle.

At the same time, if the troops lacked the manoeuvring of the war horses, they would be caught by the pursuing cavalry when they retreated. Without a warhorse, even the smallest of failures would turn into a large-scale retreat.

It could be said that due to the war horses, ever since the Song Dynasty split from the Western Xia Dynasty, it had an awkward situation of no victory, and defeat was inevitable.

Therefore, among the farming people, there was no other country that craved horses more than Song.

It would be worth it if he could use the technique of raising horses on a large scale in the Song Kingdom in exchange for breaking with the Han Dynasty. If the person standing in front of Xiao Wen was Zhao Kuangyin, then he would agree without any hesitation.

However, the person standing in front of Xiao Wen was only Cai Zhen, a spy from Song Kingdom.

After hearing Xiao Wen's suggestion, this crafty guy weighed the pros and cons and discovered that although the rewards were tempting, the risks were also huge.

However, after the death of Heshen, the Song Empire would be able to produce a large number of cavalrymen. The originally strong economic strength could be converted into military strength within a few years.

With this as a reason, the Song did not need to worry about Liu Bang's angry revenge.

However, there was no need to worry about Liu Bang's revenge. The Song Emperor, Zhao Kuangyin, was only a court official of the Song Kingdom. As for Cai Zhen, as the one who directly took action on this matter, he would definitely suffer from Liu Bang's intense retaliation.

Even if he were to return to the Song Kingdom and live through the years, it was possible that he would be executed by the Embroidered Embroidered Emissaries of the Han Empire.

Xiao Wen helplessly shook his head when he saw Cai Ying's unwilling expression. He knew that begging others was better than begging himself. Everything was done by himself, and he still needed to accomplish it.

Helpless, Xiao Wen stepped forward and cupped his hands to Heshen, "My lord, your friend Nalan Huo De has already been arrested by us for allegedly providing spy services to the entire city. According to the rules, we have to investigate you as well. This is just a routine investigation. Could it be that sire is afraid? "

Hearing the words' rational investigation ', a sudden feeling of hope rose up in He Ling's heart.

"What if he doesn't suspect me?" He Heshen thought to himself.

Then, he arrogantly said to Xiao Wen, "Hmph! It is because I am loyal to the big man that I cannot accept this slander. Do you understand? This is slander! "

"Good, good, good!" Seeing He Heshen's expression, Xiao Wen replied as if he was coaxing a child, "Of course I know that the lord says it's innocent, but this is just a routine inquiry. I hope the lord won't make things difficult for us."

"What do you want to ask?" He Shen seemed to gradually calm down as he listened to Xiao Wen's words. He looked at Xiao Wen and said in a cold voice.

"I just want to ask …" Xiao Wen walked up to Hezhen and said in a treacherous tone, "I would like to ask, how much money do you have with you right now?"

As he spoke, Xiao Wen's right hand was still gently stroking his thumb and forefinger, as if hinting at something.

Seeing Xiao Wen's actions, He Heshen instantly understood that this guy didn't want to get him killed, but to get the money.

Thus, he looked down at Xiao Wen's hand and asked, "How much do you think I have?"

"Five thousand gold? Your excellency, do you think that's too much?" Xiao Wen said.

5000 gold …

Hearing these words, Heshen almost exploded out in rage, as if he was going to pay for his life.

However, after some thought, he still gritted his teeth and said, "It just so happens that I have that much money. Do you want to check it?"

"Of course." Xiao Wen laughed.

Seeing Xiao Wen's complacent smile, He He thought to himself, "Damn you, Xiao Wen, just wait for me to finish this mess. See how I'll deal with you! "I'm going to tear you into a thousand pieces, then play with your sister-in-law, Zhou Xian, and her sister, Zhou Wei, on the bed!"

As Xiao Wen looked at He Shen's smiling face, he could also feel the hidden malice in He Shen's words. However, Xiao Wen calmly picked up a cup of tea and passed it to Heshen, saying, "Master, it was just a routine inquiry, it was my fault that you were frightened. This cup of tea, consider it as me apologizing for you. "

"Very good." He Heshen nodded, took the cup of tea, and drained it in one gulp.

Xiao Wen, who had just finished his tea, let out a cold laugh.

His left hand was placed on the back of his waist, his fingers were trembling without any change in his expression. A trace of white powder was also vibrating under his fingernails, slowly spreading to the ground.
