Chapter Seventy-Four: The Motive for the Killing
Xu Yanshan and Chang Sheng walked to the camp, and all the soldiers lined up to greet the legendary general, in addition to admiration, but also privately suspected what the god would come here for. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that his arrival had caused such a big repercussion, he was afraid that it would affect the plan of the person who couldn't be messed with, so he hurriedly said, "I'm just coming up on behalf of the emperor to comfort you, you don't have to work so hard, you can do what you should do in normal times, I have to rush back tomorrow." β
"Yes" Everyone said in unison, but a simple word made Xu Yanshan feel the advantages of ancient military camps and modern troops. After wandering around the barracks for most of the day, I found out the whereabouts of Zhao Qianhu, it turned out that there were mountain bandits a few days ago, and Zhao Qi took a small army to suppress the bandits. Unexpectedly, these outlaws were too ferocious, and the people who went out were all injured, among which Zhao Qi was the most seriously injured. The wounded were also graded, and there was only one thousand adults lying in the tent. In the dead of night, Zhao Qianhu drank the mutton soup secretly drugged by Xu Yanshan, and fell asleep.
Xu Yanshan woke up the sleeping man, Zhao Qianhu slowly opened his cloudy eyes, he had been in the army for many years, and he was used to falling asleep with a sword, even in illness.
He immediately sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and was about to draw his sword to defend himself, but found that he had been firmly bound hand and foot.
Xu Yanshan sighed, "Zhao Qi, there is an old saying, it is called people die for money. You hunted down the mother and daughter of the Lin family, and you also took the accompanying cage for yourself, those treasures should be buried in the ground, and it will take at least fifty years to dig them up and enjoy them. Who knew that in less than eight years, you couldn't help it. β
Zhao Qi stared at the white figure in front of him, who was not like a human or a ghost, and his voice trembled a little: "Who are you?" Don't pretend to be a ghost there."
"Hahahaha. Have you forgotten the mother and daughter who died unjustly in Gujiazhuang sixteen years ago? β
"You...... Are you the Lady of Flowers? No, it's Miss Flower! Zhao Qi seemed to see a ghost, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Seeing this, Xu Yanshan tore off the fake Adam's apple in her throat and washed the disguise on her face. The candlelight hid the rough skin, and the girl in a trance was as beautiful as a peach and plum, Zhao Qi was a little wandering in the drive of drugs at the moment, and he only felt that the people in front of him were a little like the big and small Lin sisters who were famous in Nanning.
The taste of suffering in revenge is uncomfortable, Hua Yu's cold eyes seem to be frozen, and seeing this person again is like returning to that night again. She attached herself to Xu Yanshan's ear, and after a while, she saw Yan Shan slowly speak, "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" I have at least 10 ways to get you to speak, how many do you think you can get through? β
I did something wrong, and I was worried about ghosts knocking on the door all my life.
Zhao Qi closed his eyes in despair and said, "There is no mastermind, it was I who saw the money and gathered some outlaws to intercept and kill you." β
It's all the fault of greed for money! Back then, Zhao Qi originally planned to lock the cage in the basement and wait for decades before making a move, but he had no choice but to give birth to a loser son.
The loser was emptied of the silver by the gambling house and the Qinglou, so he stole Zhao Qi's key, secretly took out a few things and sold them on the black market, the paper could not hold the fire, Zhao Qi found that the key was stolen, and beat the loser hard, and he was quite uneasy.
After a few years, the Zhao family was calm, and Zhao Qi was lucky to think that there was nothing to do, but who knew that he was still approached by someone.
The rebel misunderstands me!
Xu Yanshan shook her head, "I'm a person who doesn't have much patience, and if I don't tell the truth, you will suffer the death penalty and the living crime." β
When death came, Zhao Qi calmed down, "Hehe, anyway, it's death if you don't say it." β
"That's right, you're going to die today, but-" Xu Yanshan changed the topic and said with a smile: "Six dynasties of gold powder, ten miles of flower river." Your son gave most of the family property to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion on the bank of the Huajiang River. He stole a few antiques from the house, but he didn't know that one of them was an aromatherapy ball, which was my old belongings. β
The children are all debts, Zhao Qi's body began to tremble, "What do you want?" β
"You have been prosperous in the past sixteen years, and you have risen to a thousand households. I heard that you are also very dedicated to your life, and you have made a lot of contributions, and when the emperor returns to the court, you will not be able to escape the title of one of your earls. But your son justβ"
Zhao Qi roared angrily: "Back then, it was all my ghost who chased and killed your mother and daughter, and it had nothing to do with my son!" Don't touch him! β
Xu Yanshan didn't seem to hear Zhao Qi's exclamation, and continued: "Zhao Gongzi is your only son. No matter how good it is, it's better than nothing. If he dies and there is no one to inherit the title, the Zhao family will be completely erased from the noble family, and there is no possibility of turning over. β
"Honestly......" Xu Yanshan pulled out Zhao Qi's sword, and the sword was unsheathed, making a clear and trembling sound. She stabbed her sword at the burning candle, its sharp blade cutting through half of the burnt black wick, and with a little remnant of the flame, the flame leaped and became brighter. This is the first time she has touched a sword, and she feels very good, if it weren't for the wrong situation now, maybe she will have another ingenious sword dance, after all, there are not many opportunities to be handsome.
Poof, Xu Yanshan blew out the residual fire on the blade, and said lightly: "My master is a crazy person, he never makes any sense, and finally rescued me from the ghost gate, but he always asks me to let go of my resentment and not kill innocents indiscriminately." Because no one can escape the cycle of cause and effect. β
"He has a point." Xu Yanshan looked at Zhao Qi, who was struggling desperately, and sighed: "Is this coming without retribution, you fell off the horse and were seriously injured, hurt your lungs, and were about to die, and gave birth to a loser." In fact, although your son is a loser, he is just an ordinary gentleman, and he has never done anything hurtful, I really don't want to kill him, but ......"
Xu Yanshan looked at Zhao Qi's eyes fixedly, and said: "But you refuse to tell me the mastermind behind me, the only clue is broken with you, and the revenge of killing your mother is not shared!" I'd rather break my own fortune than take revenge! Take your son to the funeral! β
Rao is Zhao Qi is brave, killing countless enemies, at this moment, seeing Xu Yanshan's eyes surging with monstrous hatred, he couldn't help but flicker his eyes, and blurted out: "Yi Xiu!" It's your father's staff member, Yi Xiu! He gave me a thousand taels of silver to hunt down your mother and daughter with a group of secretly recruited outlaws! β
Hearing this, Xu Yanshan looked at Hua Yu behind her, and there was a faint worry in her eyes, afraid that the thin soul would dissipate in the air like this. It's the father! Hua Yu's heart was sad. Although there had been speculations before, Zhao Qi's words at this moment still deeply hit Hua Yu, and when it came to this, Zhao Qi would not lie. Yi Xiu was his father's master back then, and he was also his most important staff.
Xu Yanshan felt that this kind of thing was too cruel for Hua Yu, after all, tiger poison didn't eat children, so he pointed at Zhao Qi's heart, "Do you have evidence?" β
"No, but I vouch for my son's life, and what I just said is true."
Zhao Qi said: "It was Yi Xiu who confessed to me to kill your mother and daughter, as for whether it was your father's intention, I have no way of knowing." To do this kind of dirty thing, we are only paying lip service, and it is impossible to leave notes and witnesses. The killers are all masked, but I am leading the team to intercept you, I don't know them, and they don't know who I am. β
