Chapter 375 Despicable villain

Han Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Yang Yanzhang was actually so vicious, but it was understandable. After all, Yang Yanzhang's name had not been changed yet and he still called himself Yang Yanzhang. He also had an emperor's father backing him up. Being arrogant and domineering was normal.

"I didn't provoke Yang Yanzhang." Han Rui said, expressing his innocence.

Wei Zhongxian sneered: "I don't think so. You are a despicable person, cunning and sinister. Yang Yanzhang is no match for you, so I have to guard against you plotting against him."

"I'm so bored." Han Rui shrugged.

"You are indeed not that boring, but the people behind you may not be." Wei Zhongxian snorted: "The so-called person who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to Mo is black. You are surrounded by despicable and cunning people. Yang Yanzhang was affected and changed. It’s normal to be violent and cruel.”

Han Rui sighed and said decisively: "The relationship between Yang Yanzhang and me is extremely innocent and has no connection whatsoever."

"You don't have any relationship, but Li Tai does." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Li Tai?" Han Rui said blankly: "Who?"

"You don't remember him?" Wei Zhongxian asked suspiciously. According to Yang Yanzhang, Han Rui should know Li Tai. Could it be that he was just pretending.

No way, Han Rui is not a fool, how could he do such a stupid thing.

"Li Tai?" Han Rui asked confused: "You are talking about the third brother Li Zhi, the sick man. What is the connection between him and Yang Yanzhang?"

"You don't know." Wei Zhongxian was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he thought it was normal. After all, Han Rui was a foreigner. He had only been in Luoyang for a few days, so how could he know about Li Tai's deeds.

"You are Yang Yanzhang's envoy. You should be familiar with Li Tai's affairs. Let's talk about it." Han Rui asked curiously. His impression of Li Tai was not deep, or even vague.

Wei Zhongxian was too lazy to show off. He glanced contemptuously and said lightly: "Yang Yanzhang's third brother, Li Shimin."

"Ah." Han Rui was startled and realized instantly that it was this guy. No wonder Yang Yanzhang hated him so much. It must have been instigated by Li Shimin. Han Rui cursed in his heart.

Han Rui's reaction fell into Wei Zhongxian's eyes, but he mistakenly thought that he had a guilty conscience, and said disdainfully: "Li Tai is a brother of the current emperor, but he was persecuted by traitors because of his frailty and illness.

Unfortunately, he died in infancy. The emperor was so sad that he buried his body in the imperial mausoleum to appease his soul. He also handed over the Li family temple to Li Tai's mother to take care of it. His mother had no children, so she regarded Li Tai as her only son. Bloodline, raised with care, treated as a treasure. "

Han Rui nodded and said: "I heard, but the relationship between Li Tai and Yang Yanzhang doesn't seem to be very harmonious, especially after Yang Yanzhang ascended the throne as emperor, he alienated Li Tai, never summoned him, and even did not allow other brothers to visit him. "

"Humph." Wei Zhongxian sneered: "Yang Yanzhang is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate other brothers. Li Tai is also a smart person. He naturally knows Yang Yanzhang's temper, so he avoids him."

Han Rui remained silent, but from Wei Zhongxian's words, it can be guessed that the relationship between the two is probably very tense and even hostile.

"Don't think I am alarmist." Wei Zhongxian said solemnly: "Yang Yanzhang must be afraid of you now, so he asked you to come to celebrate your birthday, and tried to take the opportunity to kill you and let him ascend the throne."

"That's your master, not mine, why should I sacrifice my life for him.

At this time, Yang Yanzhang must be hiding in the palace and not showing up. Han Rui thought to himself that he could not find Yang Yanzhang, let alone work for him, so he firmly shook his head in denial.

Wei Zhongxian glared angrily and said in a cold voice: "Master Han, I advise you to surrender obediently, maybe there is still a way to survive. Otherwise, I can only give you a ride. After you get to the Palace of Yama, don't forget to tell the truth." "Haha, This threat cannot intimidate me." Han Rui said with a smile, not caring.

"You are giving me a toast and you are punished with a drink." Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and raised his knife to chop.

At this moment, a sharp reprimand suddenly came from the side, and a group of soldiers rushed in, guarding Wei Zhongxian, looking at Han Rui fiercely.

"What for?" Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of anger: "I am here to welcome Mr. Han at the emperor's command. Do you dare to stop me?"

"Follow your orders," said the leader of the soldiers.

"What kind of bullshit orders do you have? You just want to take me back." Han Rui curled his lips and said, "It's because you were afraid that I would leak the secrets, so you killed me first and then told me, detained me, and then slowly tortured me to extract a confession, and finally extracted my secrets."

"Nonsense, you slandered the emperor." Wei Zhongxian said angrily, not believing the nonsense Han Rui said.

"Don't get excited. I didn't mean to slander the emperor. I just told the truth."

Yang Yanzhang was well prepared and sent a group of people to keep an eye on him. Han Rui also knew that resistance was useless, so he simply went with the flow and directly passed the responsibility to Yang Yanzhang to save trouble.

Wei Zhongxian's face was livid, he sneered and said sarcastically: "Han Rui, I didn't expect that you are such a person. It's in vain that Yang Yanzhang treats you so well."

"I hope he treats me well. The problem is that if he is unkind, how can I act loyally?" Han Rui said with a candid smile: "Besides, you didn't treat me kindly. If you hadn't forced me, how could I have come here?" Come from Hebei."

"Don't make excuses." Wei Zhongxian's eyes widened angrily and he shouted in a cold voice: "Yang Yanzhang has been so kind to you, but you framed him so shamelessly, you are so shameless."

"Eunuch Wei, what you say must be based on evidence. Groundless rumors may not be unreasonable. Do you have evidence to prove that I framed Yang Yanzhang?" Han Rui said calmly: "I didn't do anything wrong. I'm afraid of retribution."

"You are so impudent that you are actually rude to Eunuch Wei." The soldier leader became furious and pointed at Han Rui with his sword.

Han Rui frowned. As expected, these officials like to rely on the strong to bully the weak. Those with a little bit of strength can bully the common people. However, Han Rui is only a small Hanlin bachelor. Naturally, he has no advantage in front of Wei Zhongxian. .

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand to stop him, his eyes were cold, and he shot at Han Rui like a sharp arrow, and said coldly: "Han Rui, don't be arrogant just because you have some talent. You colluded with court officials and plotted evil, and you deserve death."

"This hat is a little too serious. Why do you say that?" Han Rui frowned.

"Yang Yanzhang told me that you broke into the palace without permission." Wei Zhongxian sneered.

"That's nonsense. I didn't leave the post house at all. How could I sneak into the palace." Han Rui retorted, unwilling to bear such a crime.

"No chance, where did your carriage go."

"Of course I'm going to Yangzhou by boat." Han Rui said, suddenly reacting and said in shock: "You are spying on me."
