550: Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys
Nalan Jinxiu is going to visit ten families tonight, if each of them is like this, won't it be done until dawn? She said with a smile: "Ah Qing, Lord Hu is bold, your pediatric things can't scare him." ”
Of course, Bian Yanqing knew what Nalan Jinxiu meant, she hooked the corners of her lower lip slightly, and smiled a little ruffianly: "Then I might as well be respectful and give Lord Hu a big gift." ”
Bian Yanqing's hand rose and fell, and directly cut off one of Hu Mingjun's ears. Before he could recover from the afterglow, the rippling Hu Mingjun suddenly screamed again and again.
There was a guard outside the door, and I don't know if the adults are comfortable or painful when they hear such movements. I wanted to come in and ask but didn't dare, I just thought that if the adults had something, they would definitely call someone.
Hu Mingjun really wanted to shout for help, but the dagger was placed on the other ear, and if he behaved a little bit to make Bian Yanqing dissatisfied, this ear would not be saved.
"What a noble identity the young master of my family, condescending to come to you, Lord Hu, you'd better show your due attitude. ”
Hu Mingjun knew that the princess's mansion came to ask him for help this time, and he didn't want to let himself be so passive, so he endured the pain and said: "If you dare to do it again, then don't want me to do things for you!"
Bian Yanqing didn't know what to do at the moment, so he turned his attention to Nalan Jinxiu. Nalan Jinxiu is still not used to the bloody scenes, but at this time, she can only pretend to be indifferent.
"Hu Mingjun, I can tell you very clearly, I don't mind using you to intimidate others. Killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys is sometimes very effective. ”
Hu Mingjun's forehead was bruised, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You dare!"
Nalan Jinxiu sneered: "Ah Qing, leave him one ear to be obedient, and cut off one of his fingers first." ”
As soon as Bian Yanqing took the dagger off his ear, Hu Mingjun completely admitted defeat. His eyes were still vicious, but his tone softened: "Since it is the princess's mansion that needs me, does the prince also have to show some sincerity." ”
"Oh, what sincerity does Lord Hu want, you might as well tell me about it. ”
"When I was young, I was ridiculous, and I accidentally killed a few people, and the eldest princess kept holding it. ”
Nalan Jinxiu looked sideways at Mu Li, who leaned into her ear and whispered a few words. His voice was as cold as ever, but his breath was hot, and it tickled her ears with a tingle.
Nalan Jinxiu turned her cheek to the other end before he could finish speaking, and she closed her eyes and calmed down. It wasn't until I felt that my mind was settled that I said:
"Lord Hu was ridiculous when he was young, but he didn't kill a few people. I remember that there was a house in the south of the city, which is now deserted, and in the early days there were many women in it. It's a pity that those flower-like girls were tortured to death. There are one hundred and nine of them recorded in my princess's mansion alone. ”
Hu Mingjun's face was not good-looking, first, it hurt, and second, Wo Zhi began to scream again. She knew that Hu Mingjun had some special habits, but she didn't know that he was so ruthless.
When she thought of the murderous nature of the people she was waiting for, Wo Zhi felt particularly insecure. Especially the things that were now stuck in her bones, and the three cold people in the room, all made her feel terrified.
Nalan Jinxiu couldn't hear the woman's scream, she frowned: "Let her shut up." ”
Bian Yanqing glanced at Wo Zhi lightly: "If you shout again, I will cut your tongue!"
Wo Zhi really didn't dare to speak out, but she was still very scared. I can only stuff my fingers tightly into my mouth, for fear that I will accidentally shout again. She threw herself into a ball, eager to be cut off from the world.
"She's heard too much, A-Qing, give her the medicine. ”
Bian Yanqing took out a pale red pill and forced her to eat it despite Wo Zhi's struggles. Thinking that she had fed herself poison, Wo Zhi hugged Bian Yanqing like a crazy woman and bit her leg hard.
Bian Yanqing frowned and knocked her over with one kick. Wo Zhi was slammed to the ground, her mouth was still stained with blood, and she fainted just as she wanted to make a sound.
Hu Mingjun originally liked Wo Zhi very much, but he hadn't liked a woman so much for a long time. Whether it is his voice or his body appearance, he will never get tired of looking at it, and there are many ways to hook men, and there is a sense of freshness every day.
Now looking at the woman on the ground who looks like a broken doll, I have lost any interest at all. Women are like this, no matter how dazzling they are, they will only make people disgusting in the end.
"We also know the past of Lord Hu, you can't let us collectively lose our amnesia! Why don't I make a guarantee to you, I just don't know if you believe it or not. ”
Hu Mingjun is a shrewd person, and when he saw that Bian Yanqing, the steward of the princess's mansion, was obedient to Nalan Jinxiu's words, he knew that her status in the princess's mansion was not ordinary, so he nodded.
"As long as Lord Hu withdraws the impeachment of the princess's mansion, then let the adults who are in the same breath as you also with. All the information about you, the princess's mansion will be handed over to the adults, and it is up to you to decide what to do with it at that time. ”
"Good. Hu Mingjun agreed very happily.
Nalan Jinxiu smiled: "Sure enough, it's still effortless to deal with smart people." ”
The next few mansions I went to, the process and the result were similar. These important ministers of the court, who are usually commanding, are actually afraid of death.
As long as the knife is placed on their necks and they understand that the princess can kill them at any time, they will naturally obey obediently.
"Young master, I'm afraid that tomorrow they will unite and fight against the water. ”
Bian Yanqing's worries are not entirely unreasonable. These officials are often the least honest. Nalan Jinxiu had thought of this a long time ago, so he gave them medicine.
"Unless they don't want to die. ”
Bian Yanqing thought that the pills fed to those adults were non-toxic. The reason why the young master said that was to scare them. She didn't approve of it, but she didn't expect it to be true.
The Southern Chu court was divided into two factions at once. One faction advocated that Princess Qinghe be demoted to a commoner, and all the property of the princess's mansion should be confiscated, and there was no such thing as Princess Qinghe's mansion since then. However, the rhetoric of this faction did not last long, and in the end it did not come to an end.
The other faction did not impeach Princess Qinghe, nor did they express any opinion on this matter, and there was an attitude that neither party dared to offend. When that faction was alive and began to be silent like them, they knew that everyone was afraid of death.
The people in the court are no longer persecuted, and the lord of the country, Qu Qingze, just wants the princess's mansion to disappear and become unknown. The princess's mansion, which has been on the cusp of the storm, has finally stopped.
But things are far from being as calm as they seem. Often behind the calm, there are bigger storms being bred. Qu Lianbing knows this, and Nalan Jinxiu also knows it.
"No matter how powerful the princess's mansion is, no matter how strong the lethality of the painted skin is, it is insignificant compared to the entire Nanchu. Since the lord of the country already thinks that the existence of painted skin is a stain on life, he will do it sooner or later. ”
Qu Lianbing's body has been conditioned by Nalan Jinxiu, and it is obviously better than before. But the fact is that as she said, her martial arts practice hurt her roots, and her life is still not long.
"Mother is recuperating in peace, and this matter is left to me. ”
"I don't want you to run around for this anymore, the painted skin can't follow the development, and sooner or later it will disappear. "How could Qu Lianbing not know that those people in the court harbored evil intentions, they were all about to become fine, where was it so easy to deal with.
Nalan Jinxiu hesitated for a moment, but decided to say what was in her heart. She took Qu Lianbing's hand and said softly: "Mother, the painted skin should disappear, so I want to disband them and let them live their own lives." ”
Qu Lianbing motioned with her eyes to continue.
"The lord of the country is now aggressive, just because the court situation is already under his control. He no longer needs to paint his skin to do things for him, but is afraid that the historian will accuse him. Another major reason is that the painting skin is strong, and he is afraid of it. ”
Qu Lianbing's eyes showed appreciation, and she had to admit that her daughter was really not comparable to ordinary women. This vision, as well as the sharpness of looking at the court situation, is better than her.
"So I want to take the initiative to show weakness and show sincerity. The lord of the country is also a human being, and when he thinks of what his mother has done for him for so many years, he must have compassion. Even if there is only one point, we will succeed. ”
"What you say is not unreasonable, it's just that the lord of the country is suspicious by nature and leaves no room for things. I'm afraid he'll want to control you. ”
Nalan Jinxiu feels that Qu Lianbing's temperament is indeed soft now, although she can't be called a loving mother, she is thinking about everything for her. She put her forehead on her hand and said, "The whole world is not the king's land, and in Southern Chu, who is not controlled by the lord of the country?"
"You kid......"
"If my mother agrees, I will enter the palace tomorrow. ”
Qu Lianbing touched her hair, and her voice was calm: "Since you have already decided, let it go." ”
"But if we dismantle the skin, those who have been threatened by us will not give up. "For example, Hu Mingjun, who had his ear cut off.
"Therefore, let the lord of the kingdom feel that we are still useful, or he will acquiesce to those people to trample on us. ”
Nalan Jinxiu stretched his brows: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, as long as these people can be kept alive, it is worth it even if they continue to intrigue with them." ”
Qu Lianbing sometimes feels that Nalan Jinxiu is still more like his father. Although doing things is also unreachable, unscrupulous means, but after all, he is still kind and wants to minimize the damage.
Such a chivalrous and tender intestine is really only available to Xu Huaiyu, who wants to be a ranger. The reason why she was tempted at the beginning was because he was strong enough, and second, because he had kindness in him that she didn't have.
A person who has been in the dark for a long time is the most eager for light, and Xu Huaiyu is almost the only light in his life. Originally, she didn't have to take this path, she could follow him all the time.
However, he abandoned her in the first place. He said that he couldn't live up to his wife, and he couldn't wronged her, and he left resolutely. In fact, in the final analysis, he still found that they were not suitable, and he was not willing to redeem her at all.
