Chapter 43: How is it possible
The Nanhai County Lord's Mansion is brightly lit at the moment, and a team of soldiers is patrolling in three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, even if it is a mosquito that wants to fly in, it is wishful thinking.
Not long after, a famous family master came to the city lord's mansion in a luxurious carriage, looking at the soldiers who were full of murderous aura with a solemn look on their faces, obviously these soldiers were not comparable to those families and subordinates under their control.
I didn't know what to do for a while, if the rumors were true, it was possible if that person really went crazy and killed his own family masters.
Xu Jing also asked his subordinates to drive to the City Lord's Mansion at this time, and a look of disdain flashed on the faces of the hesitant people in front of him, and then he walked in with his head held high.
Seeing this, the faces of those family heads changed drastically, and they wanted to stretch out their hands to stop them, but unfortunately it was too late, and they could only watch the other party enter: "Mr. Wenxiu, aren't you afraid of being killed?" "There is still a head of the family who does not give up and reminds each other kindly.
When Xu Jing heard this, he stopped and stood in place without looking back, "Heh! You don't seem to understand one thing, if we have room to turn back and still use it here, why don't you be a ghost who understands why the left and right are dead? As he spoke, he walked towards the hall of the City Lord's Mansion
Looking at Xu Jing's calm appearance, everyone couldn't help but admire in their hearts, after all, they didn't have the mentality of the other party, and when they thought about it, it seemed that their group really had no way to retreat, so they could only walk inside.
When everyone entered, a wisp of black green smoke appeared in everyone's sight, if Xu Jing could appear here, he would definitely be surprised to close his mouth, isn't this person Liu Gang who coerced him at the beginning.
Looking at the people who were going away, Liu Gang's eyes flashed with a gleam, obviously very appreciative of Xu Jing who dared to be the first to eat crabs, as for whether this person can survive depends on the will of the lord, and then once again turned into a wisp of black gas and disappeared into the air.
"Squeak!" Xu Jing took the lead in the front of the hall, stretched out his hands to push open the gorgeous door, and looked at a man sitting in the first place who was covered in a black robe, with a hideous mask on his face, "It seems that this person is the rumored mask man, that is, the other party killed Zhu Fu!" I thought to myself
Time passed minute by minute, Xu Jing, who was standing in front of the hall, felt the sound of footsteps behind him, and saw a pale head of the family appear here, looking at the figure sitting in the dark hall, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Since you are here, why don't you come in?" As if waiting for everyone to arrive, the masked man sitting in the room slowly raised his head, and his cold gaze shot out of the hideous mask and stabbed directly at everyone's body.
I felt as if the other party's gaze was on my back, and the sweat of beans dripping from my forehead unconsciously, and my body couldn't help shaking.
Xu Jing snorted coldly when he heard this, and strode towards the hall with great steps, with the attitude of just coming and being at ease.
When the heads of the family saw that Xu Jing had entered, they could only walk inside one by one, looking around from time to time as if they were investigating whether there was any unknown danger.
After all the heads of the house entered, the door in the hall closed automatically without wind, which made everyone's faces change greatly, and they looked around in horror.
"Don't be afraid, the head of the family didn't have to be afraid, it was a subordinate of a certain family who closed the door!" Hoarse voices echoed through the empty hall again, and at that moment the originally gray room suddenly became brightly lit
Suddenly, the prepared candle lit.
Xu Jing and others had just adapted to the dark environment, but before they had time to get used to it, they changed the environment again, and involuntarily stretched out their hands to cover the sun, and as time passed, they adapted little by little.
"The princes may have heard some rumors about the history of this assassination, in order to dispel the doubts of the others, so a certain family will ask Liu Gang to invite you here, if there is anything wrong, I hope Haihan!" Seeing that everyone could open their eyes, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly spoke unhurriedly.
The hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears like the voice of the evil spirits in hell, making everyone frown and forget what the other person said.
"Wait, you said you're a thorn?" Xu Jing didn't listen to the other party's words at first, thinking about how to solve the crisis in front of him, but suddenly heard that the other party turned out to be Lord Thorn Shi, a pair of dark eyes staring at the other party with a pair of dark eyes, as if waiting for this person's answer.
Obviously, I don't believe that the other party will be the assassin of Jiaozhou, after all, those subordinates have seen this person kill Zhu Fu with their own eyes, can there be any fake.
"Why does this history of assassination still need to be faked?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of the black-robed masked man's mouth, and then Shi Shiran got up and walked towards the people in the distance step by step.
Seeing the arrival of the other party, the faces of the family suddenly changed, and their hands unconsciously put on the hilt of the sword at their waists.
When the black-robed masked man saw the appearance of everyone, the sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious, and he stretched out his hands covered by black armor and patted them gently.
"Smack!" As soon as he spoke, he saw that the door of the room was pushed open, and a team of soldiers full of evil aura appeared in everyone's sight, and the long knives with cold light were held in their hands, and the lord would carry out crazy killings at the first order.
"You dare, we are the head of the family of Nanhai County, if anything happens to us, you don't want to live!" A family master saw the faces of the soldiers behind him change color, and then shouted at the black-robed masked man in the distance.
The rest of the people nodded one by one when they heard this, and roared loudly at each other, after all, human life is only once, if you can't grasp the opportunity well at this time, I'm afraid you can only go to the palace of Hades to be a confused dead ghost.
Xu Jing was not as fierce as everyone else at the moment, but looked at the people around him with a pair of eyes full of wisdom, not believing that the other party would kill his group.
"Can't you guys even hear the voice of Ben Thorn?" The black-robed masked man's voice changed suddenly, making all the family heads present slightly stunned when they heard this, for no reason, isn't this voice the old ghost of Zhu Fu who exploited him at the beginning.
The black-robed masked man looked at the reaction on everyone's faces and seemed to be very satisfied, and then continued to speak, "Why did you forget about the lord of your waiting for so quickly? The murderous aura on his body shrouded the other party without reservation, and the soldiers on the side suddenly stepped forward when they saw this.
The heads of the family felt the pressure on their bodies, and the huge force in their bodies trembled, and a drop of sweat the size of a bean quickly dripped from their pale cheeks, and they never thought that the other party was the Zhu Fu who should have died, and he seemed to stare at the black-robed masked man in front of him with a trace of suspicion.
"Humph! What stupidity! The black-robed masked man looked at the gazes of the family masters, stretched out his black armor and slowly came to his forehead, and then lifted the hideous mask on his face.
"Shhh After everyone saw the face under the black-robed mask, their faces suddenly changed, and they couldn't help but gasp one by one, they didn't expect that the other party would be Zhu Fu's face.
"How is this possible!" I don't know who let out an exclamation, it seems that I can't believe that everything in front of me is true, after all, there were many people who saw this person kill Zhu Fu, and they didn't dare to lie to their own family master even if they borrowed ten of their courage.
"You seem to be very confused about why Ben Thorn didn't die, and who that guy was in the first place!" Zhu Fu looked at the people present with a cold face, and then Shi Shiran opened his mouth to ask the other party.
In response to Zhu Fu's inquiry, the heads of the family kept nodding, obviously there was no mystery in the same.
"It doesn't seem wrong to say that you are stupid, can't this assassin find a stand-in, if there is no body of this person to blow up, how can a certain family lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to return safely?" Zhu Fu looked like he hated iron but not steel, and whispered to everyone present.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this, and followed this person's train of thought, I am afraid that it is really like what the other party said, and only in this way can they lead a small number of people to escape from the encirclement of the enemy.
Thinking of this, the pale heads of the family were even more miserable in their hearts, if it was someone else, they might be able to talk about it and discuss it well, but in the face of a feudal official like Zhu Fu, he only knew that he was greedy for pleasure and oppressed the people to increase his weight and pay taxes, if he was targeted by the other party, even if he didn't die, he would be pulled off a layer of skin alive.
"I'll see the lord soon!" Everyone thought about it clearly and hurriedly knelt on the ground to greet each other, for fear of being hated by this person again, and it is difficult to say whether they can gain a foothold in Jiaozhou at that time, after all, such an example happened at the beginning.
"Humph! Get up! Zhu Fu's face was gloomy and terrifying, and then he waved his hand impatiently to everyone, signaling that he could get up.
Seeing this, the heads of the family hurriedly got up, not daring to have any more disobedience, and at the same time made up their minds in their hearts that a large amount of gold and silver treasures must be sent out in the mansion to resolve the previous misunderstanding.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Jingzhou Horse Master may lead his subordinate soldiers and horses to attack us at any time, so a certain family has decided that the tenant farmers of the family who are waiting for you will be requisitioned by this family, and you will not have any opinions, right?" Zhu Fu asked everyone with a smile, like a big brother next door, giving people a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze.
After all, if his party did not have the protection of the family and tenant farmers, I am afraid that they would become a tiger without claws and be slaughtered, and when they wanted to resist Zhu Fu's exploitation, they would really have no chance at all.
Zhu Fu looked at the hesitant crowd, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, without a trace of anxiety, but walked towards the seat in the distance, reached out and lifted a delicate teacup, lifted the tea lid and blew the oncoming heat, sent it to his mouth, closed his eyes and savored it.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally after a short period of discussion, a unified plan was reached: "Lord, we can hand over the tenant farmers to you, but the family will never be able to, after all, if there is no protection of the armed forces, the family will have no sense of security!" One of the heads of the house, with a big belly, stretched out his palm, which looked like a pig's trotters, to wipe the sweat from his cheeks, and his legs trembled continuously.
"Hey! If this assassin may have agreed to your request before, but now he is facing the appearance of Zhou Qi'er and his soldiers and horses at any time, if there is not enough force to deter, how can he keep this city! ”... to be continued
