Chapter 147: Murder on a Rainy Night

At this time, Li Ke sat down triumphantly, poured a glass of water from the table and drank it, and saw that the man in black had not spoken for a long time, so he sneered: "What's the matter, my lord...... Afraid of this Lu Zuo too? Seeing that he was still bowing his head and silent, he continued, "You and I are both from this area, and I'm afraid that no one is unaware of his prestige in the local area. Lord Zhang learned a news from the imperial court, and we don't have time to tell you, that is, one of the important reasons why the emperor let Lu Zuo accompany him this time is ......" Li Keshou said this, proudly and deliberately slowed down his speech, wanting to adjust his appetite.

The man in black was really interested, glanced up at Li Keshou, and said coldly: "Say ......"

Li Keshou saw that this trick was effective and successfully aroused his interest, so he smiled proudly, "One of the important reasons is that because Lu Zuo is from Shanzhou, he has a wide range of contacts there, and he knows him very well, so the emperor thinks that he is the most suitable to accompany him on the expedition." Li Keshou looked at the man in black, and saw that he was deeply buried in his head, and knew that he must have fallen into nervous contemplation.

Zhang De saw that this trick seemed to work very well for him, and he also echoed it, "Actually, the person sitting next to Gao Yun today is Lu Zuo!" ”

"He's Lu Zuo?" Xu Wuyou was surprised, "How could he be Lu Zuo, when he participated in the township test, I had seen him?" ”

"Yes, he is. I've heard that he looks like he's been picked off in prison and disfigured, that's why he's like this now. Zhang De continued with envy, "But he is now the son-in-law of Chenglong in Pingyuan Bo'an Yuanshan, and I have long heard that he is only eight years old and resourceful, but I don't know if he will find out about us!" ”

Li Keshou smiled, and seemed to have found a way to deal with the man in black, so he answered in a strange way: "What are you afraid of, as long as we are united, everyone will be fine, I'm afraid that we will not be found for a while." ”

Xu Wuyou also nodded, "Hmm! It makes sense, and their march to the west cannot be delayed, how can they waste so much time on investigating the case. If they don't send troops again in two days, we will incite other officials to jointly submit a petition to the imperial court, saying that Gao Yun supports the army and respects himself, covets Lanzhou, and tries to rebel in vain. I don't believe that the emperor will not punish him for such a great crime. ”

"Haha......" Li Keshou was very proud, "Lord Xu is very right. ”

The man in black smiled coldly, making the three of them shudder instantly, and the originally relaxed atmosphere was covered with nervousness again, and the man in black said, "Do you think that one Lu Zuo can bluff me?" ”

Li Ke couldn't help but care, "Don't forget, your handle is also in our hands!" As soon as these words came out, the strange atmosphere in the room suddenly rose, and Zhang De frowned and signaled that Li Keshou didn't need to say this, but he still didn't think so.

There was silence in the room for a long time, and the man in black slammed his fist on the table with a "bang", and the other three people trembled in fright, and they all looked at the man in black with some surprise. Then the man in black pinched Li Keshou's neck with his right hand, and then showed his dagger, glared at Li Keshou with angry eyes, and said, "You better hear clearly, no one can threaten me!" Looks like you don't want to see tomorrow's sun tonight! ”

The words of the man in black made the other three finally realize that the situation was wrong, Li Keshou's face turned pale, and Zhang De and Xu Wuyou also quickly knelt down to beg for mercy for Li Ke. The man in black snorted proudly, looked at Zhang and Xu who were kneeling on the ground, "It's good that you two know each other, I will definitely not treat you badly......" Then he turned his head, and swiped the dagger in his hand on Li Keshou's cheek, and his face instantly drew a small bright red mouth, and sneered, "As for you......"

"Don't ...... Don't be an adult, the little one knows it's wrong, and the little one must be a good ......match," Li Keshou said tremblingly.

"It's late!"

The man in black raised the knife in his hand, stabbed him in the abdomen with a dagger, and the blood gushed out in an instant, but Li Keshou was still panting and struggling in the hands of the man in black, the man in black let go of his right hand, took the dagger in his left hand and took his right hand, and quickly stabbed Li Keshou in the heart, when the dagger was pulled out, the blood instantly wet the clothes at the wound, Li Keshou died in an instant, fell under the stool with big eyes, and lay in a pool of blood.

Xu Wuyou and Zhang De knelt on the ground, already frightened. The man in black sneered and wiped the blood stains on the dagger with the cuff of his left hand, and said lightly: "You two know what to do!" ”

Zhang and Xu buckled their heads again and again, "The little one understands...... Got it! But after thinking about it, I didn't understand what he meant, "This? What to do...... Please let me know! The little ones will do it! ”

"Now you guys disappear!" The man in black said, and with a "bang", he plunged the dagger in his hand deep into the table.

The two of them shook their whole bodies, "Eliminate ...... Lose? ”

"Yes!" The man in black said, "The farther away the better, but don't appear in the land of the Han in the future!" Do you understand? ”

Xu Wuyou trembled and said, "The little one understands, let's go now, and set off immediately!" ”

Zhang De said: "My lord, now that the city gate is closed, how can we get out of the city?" ”

"Don't worry about this!" The man in black said and took out a waist card from his arms, and then threw it on the table, "This is the waist card for Lanzhou to go out of the city, and someone will naturally let you go if you have it." Go ahead! ”

The long night, in the boundless sound of the rain, became more and more miserable, and a carriage rushed away from the city gate in the wind and rain.

It was getting brighter, and the rain that had been falling all night gradually stopped. The remaining rainwater from the eaves of the inn dripped "tick-tock" onto the cobblestone patio. At this time, the patio was already full of the catchers of the Lanzhou Mansion, all with swords on their waists, but they were all a little anxious.

At this time, a sedan chair was parked outside the courtyard of the post house, and the head catcher led by him hurriedly rushed out of the hospital and stepped forward to greet him. Fang Yanzhi looked flustered and glanced at the head catcher and asked, "Yang catcher, why are you the only one here?" What about the others? ”

Yang Zhutou clenched his fists and replied, "The other adults just notified them, and they are all on their way here." ”

"What about Marshal Gao?" Fang gradually asked anxiously.

"The little ones don't dare to disturb the marshal, so tell the adults first and then make a decision."

Fang gradually hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's okay, wait for the marshal to wake up and report it truthfully." With that, he strode towards the post house and asked, "Where is Lord Li's body located?" ”

Yang Zhutou followed and said, "It's in the wing room facing the street!" ”

"Oh?" Fang gradually stopped, thoughtful, "Are the two rooms next door inhabited by Master Zhang and Lord Xu respectively?" ”
