The Siege of Fancheng Chapter 18 Bite by a brute
......
"What?," Yuan Haidong heard such a sensational and horrific thing, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"I heard that this is indeed the case, and it was an hour ago. The people in the hall told the truth.
"Which internal guard killed it?" Yuan Haidong calmed down and brought the teacup to his mouth. As long as it is not directly implicated in oneself, it is reasonable.
"Chu Jue. ”
"What, what? cough cough cough ......" Yuan Haidong never expected that he heard Chu Jue's name, "It's actually him?
Chu Jue is the best internal guard in the Supervision Mansion, and he has always been known for his flying swords. The shot was as fast as lightning, and the swordsmanship was smooth, and no one in the entire Huicheng could match it. It's just that such a talent has provoked Elder Tianhuo's money bag dealer, and this is not a small trouble.
"The little one thinks that the adults should clear up the relationship as soon as possible, and take the lead in informing Elder Tianhuo of this matter, explaining that this matter was done by Chu Jue alone, and it has nothing to do with the Supervision Mansion, and then kowtow to ask for guilt, presumably Elder Tianhuo will not punish too much. The man admonished.
"But without Chu Jue, it is without the most effective internal guard of my Supervision Mansion, and in the future, there will be a task of assassinating the masters of the civil rivers and lakes, who will take it?"
"But this matter can no longer be hidden, I hope that the adults will make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"So far, it can only be like this......" Yuan Haidong sighed, one of the best chess pieces in his hand was lost in vain, and it was inevitable that there would be some waves in his heart.
However, if Chu Jue is lost, he can cultivate a new master, Yuan Haidong thought about it, raised his head and drank the oolong tea in one gulp.
"You hurry up and prepare the horses, and I can rush to Elder Tianhuo's mansion. Also, to prepare a gift, remember to choose the one that can be in the heart of the elders. Yuan Haidong commanded.
"Yes. The people in the hall retired.
......
"Pinghuai, you and your old man dare to kill my subordinates, come out and pay for your life!" Zhuang Dong broke into Pinghuai's house with his entourage.
He knew very well that it was Chu Jue who killed Huang Pifu. However, Huang Pifu's life is not worth mentioning, the most important thing is to push this matter to Pinghuai's family, otherwise, how can he accept Xinran as a concubine.
As for Chu Jue, even Elder Tianhuo hated him, so he didn't have to deal with it himself, in fact, not to mention that his mind was not on revenge for Huang Pifu.
"That Huang Pifu is unreasonable first, how can you let me give in?" Pinghuai scolded.
"Do you have any reason to kill someone?" Zhuang Dong raised his horsewhip and pointed at Ping Huai's nose and motioned left and right, "Unrepentant, take him down!"
The left and right will understand, and step forward to surround Pinghuai. The rest of the people broke into the house and quickly arrested the old man, who was as thin as dry wood.
"If you want to do it, come at me, what kind of ability is it to bully an old man?" Ping Huai held the Red Flame Sword in his hand.
"Heh, you don't want me to bully the old man, what's wrong with me bullying me?" Zhuang Dong stepped forward and kicked the old man, the old man's body was already weak, how could he withstand a kick, and he couldn't get up when he fell to the ground.
"You!" Pinghuai was about to step forward, but was surrounded by Zhuang Dong's subordinates and couldn't step forward.
Outnumbered, if Brother Chu is still there now, there is no need to be afraid of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals. But......
"That's right," Zhuang Dong suddenly touched his chin with a wicked smile, "I remember that your sister-in-law is not loved by anyone yet, come on, drag Xinran's little sister out for me!"
"Yes!"
One of them replied, and broke into the house again, and soon with a scream, a woman was carried by him on his shoulder, and everyone saw that the man was carrying a pitiful girl on his back, and walked out of the house. No matter how much the girl struggled, she couldn't break free from the man's arms.
"Ran'er!" Ping Huai was anxious and turned around and scolded. "Zhuang Dong, you brute!"
Zhuang Dong stared at the girl's delicate face and seductive figure, his face was full of evil smiles, and he glanced at Ping Huai with disdain: "You say I'm a beast? It seems that you don't know what it means to be a beast." ”
After that, he took the girl on the shoulders of his subordinates into his arms, ignored Xinran's struggle, made a little intimacy, and said happily "Take them all away", rode his horse and whipped, and left the house.
"Leave me behind!" Ping Huai anxiously danced his sword and fought with several sword-wielding subordinates around him. However, there were too many people, and they were captured soon after.
......
"Chu Jue actually killed the good people by mistake?" Ye Jue took the case. How could he not know Chu Jue's name, the first flying sword of the Supervision Mansion, he could behead the enemy with a shot, and no one in Huicheng could match it.
Such a good talent can be a rare help for the demons outside Huicheng and the evil inside. At that time, the sword was bright in the execution ground of the Supervision Mansion, and Ye Yan was present, and he witnessed the scene of Chu Jue's flying sword to eliminate the assassins of the demon clan, which was really shocking.
How could this happen?
"Lord of the city, as the saying goes, a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. He Chu Jue relied on his own strength, so he didn't take others seriously, killed at will, and violated his original intention when he entered the Supervision Mansion, and he must be severely punished!"
Since the appearance of Chu Jue, the Supervision Mansion is no longer under his own thorough control. I don't know what kind of rhetoric Chu Jue used, so that all the internal guards acted with the word "loyalty", and it was even difficult to ask Yuan Haidong's waste to help him get rid of a few more dissidents.
This time, he actually left a handle, such a good opportunity, how can he let him go!
"But Elder Tianhuo, you also know that Chu Jue's merits can be used to atone for some of his sins. "Ye Yan has a heart of cherishing talents.
"If you don't punish the law, how can you govern the internal affairs of the city?Lord City Lord, can you just shield the villain!" Seeing that Ye Yan seemed to have the idea of letting Chu Jue go, Elder Tianhuo hurriedly spoke.
If you don't eliminate the thorn in your eye, he won't be able to sleep well!
"Call Chu Jue. Ye Yan ordered.
In just a moment, Chu Jue had been brought into the City Lord's Mansion.
"Chu Jue, are you guilty?" Ye Yan said in a deep voice. He observed Chu Jue's words and expressions, and he didn't see any fear.
"Under the conviction of sin. Chu Jue said, his voice calm.
"Killing pays for your life, do you know?"
"I know it below. ”
"Since you know, why do you want to commit it!" Ye Yan took the case, "As a guard of the Supervision Mansion, you should have been loyal to your duties and protected your family and the people." But as a result, I committed a heinous crime first, how can you let us tolerate you!"
Ye Yan was angry, why didn't this Chu Jue have the slightest intention of defending himself. If the murder is convicted, then he will really be executed, and no one will be able to save him at that time. How can there be such a stupid person in the world!
"Under the willing to confess. The lord of the city will deal with it impartially. Chu Jue half-knelt and arched his hand.
"You!" Ye Yan sat down on the back of his chair angrily, "Okay, since you have confessed your guilt, then, you must be sentenced to death, and this matter will be handed over to the Great Elder to deal with." ”
"Yes. Elder Tianhuo replied, a slight smile rising from the corner of his mouth.
Finally, it can solve the biggest trouble in the City Lord's Mansion. Chu Jue, you are not afraid of heaven and earth, but you also have to be appointed. When I execute you, will you still be able to fight me in the underworld?
A few people took Chu Jue down, and Elder Tianhuo picked up another topic, chatting and laughing freely with Ye Yan, as if there had never been a murder, this attitude of turning his face faster than turning a book made Ye Yan feel surprised.
"This time, the city lord still has to find someone to appease Zhuang Gongzi. After all, it was his subordinates who had an accident, and he couldn't let the good people break their hearts. ”
Before he was about to walk out of the City Lord's Mansion, Elder Tianhuo said to Ye Yan with a smile again.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it, this matter won't make them feel cold. Ye Yan agreed.
......
On the bed, Xin Ran's body was weak and weak, her hands and feet were restrained by coarse cloth and satin, and she couldn't speak. She was completely awake in her mind, and remembered that not long ago, someone broke her mouth and poured the unknown potion down, although she resisted with all her strength, it was difficult to defeat the manpower, and she became confused after pouring the medicine.
But the most painful memory became her only doom. If he had passed out completely, at least he would not have woken up in such pain.
was bitten by a brute, and the most painful thing was that the humiliating memory was still fresh and could not be erased.
She could feel a few fiery pains on her body, and she could imagine the humiliating bruises left on her body. At this time, she didn't even dare to think about her brother Pinghuai. She was no longer qualified to worry about him. There were only tears left on the girl's face. At this time, it is better to die!
Soon after, the sound of the door opening came, and her vision blurred into a point of light, and a thin figure appeared in the doorway, seemingly able to make out the disgusting face.
Xin Ran closed her eyes, and another line of tears crossed her face.
......
On this day, there was a cold wave, and the people in the city could not have foreseen such a big change in the weather, and they had not yet had time to add clothes. When I woke up in the morning, the woodcutter was shivering with cold. He looked out the window at the clouds, which were thick and tight, and he couldn't see a little sunlight. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and he was startled and hurriedly closed the window.
There is still a surplus of firewood at home, and the cold wind outside the window is tight, so it is better not to go out today.
"Lao Wang, have you heard, today the city gate is going to execute the internal guards of the Supervision Mansion. The old man next door shouted outside the door, "Do you want to go and see it together?"
"Who's going to be executed? It's none of my business, don't worry about it!" Wang refused without hesitation.
He is a firewood collector, as long as he can live his own small life. How can there be spare time to deal with such a major event that takes people's lives on the execution ground?
"The person who executed is the number one wizard of the Supervision Mansion, Chu Jue!"
"What! Chu Jue?" the old king was shocked.
......
In front of the execution ground, the people crowded around the city gate, and if it weren't for the guards, a few reckless men would have almost rushed up.
"Why did you decide the prince of Chu?"
"He's a good guy who gets rid of bullies, why kill him!"
"God has no eyes, and the dumb official is in charge!"
The audience shouted and was angry, and even a few old women who bought vegetables threw eggs and smashed the executioner with the knife, only hating that they had eggs in their hands instead of stones, and they couldn't immediately smash the rough man unconscious.
A few guards held the crowd back so that no more angry people could mess up the scene. However, he was able to block people, but he couldn't keep out the words "people are terrible", and the insults from the audience became more and more intense, until Elder Tianhuo screamed.
"Chu Jue's reckless dereliction of duty and murder of good people is really unkind! Today, the common people are all indignant, and they should be executed immediately! This person has superb swordsmanship, and he takes people's lives with a flying sword, first picking off his right hand tendons, and then beheading!" Tianhuo shouted, his voice coming from the torture platform, but it was difficult to hide the anger of the crowd.
