Chapter 258 is a villain in vain
"What?" Father Cao suddenly got up in a panic, his own identity is not as upright as it is on the surface. At this time, someone came into the house, how could he not panic?
"It's just~ it's the person in the morning." The next person was panting, and it seemed that after discovering something, he ran all the way in, so when he spoke, he not only paused, but also pronounced inaccurately.
"Father-in-law doesn't need to panic, I should have driven the general away in the morning, and he came back at this time." Li Xie sat very calmly, and drank the teacup with leisure. That's not panicking at all.
"......" Father Cao saw Li Xie like this, and wanted to say very much, do you know what is the situation in my family? It's not your family who is emotionally killed, is it? However, Li Xie's calm appearance still gave him some confidence in the end, after all, a prince is sitting here.
I was worried about Father Cao, who had gone a lot, so I made up my mind and asked in detail about the outside situation of the servant who came here.
"There are more than a dozen people, wearing armor and holding knives, who arrest people when they enter the house, and start when they encounter resistance. Several people were cut to the ground......"
This person talked about the situation outside in detail, and before he finished speaking, Cao Ying pulled Liu Yuanbao and Cao's mother and hurried over.
It seems that after something happened outside, the next person took the lead in finding Cao Ying. This is the only way to explain why they were able to come so quickly.
"Father, are you alright?" Cao Yingren opened his mouth to ask questions before he came in.
"Nothing!" Father Cao stood up and greeted him, took Cao's mother from Cao Ying's hand, pulled it in his hand, and clasped his hands together, as if he was silently comforting.
Cao Ying kept staring at Li Xie after entering the door, seeing that his old god was drinking tea there, quite calm, and Cao Ying was also relieved.
Because Cao Ying believes that her lover will not let her own family have an accident, in this way, Li Xie can still be so calm, sitting here drinking tea must be in his control.
"Don't worry, don't say it's 50 people today, even 100 of them won't be able to enter this backyard." Li Xie said calmly, and he said it very confidently.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, another person ran in outside. This time this person is the one who has just been called out to see the situation.
"Master~ Master, the people outside are all restrained!"
"Let's go out and have a look." As soon as the next person said this, Li Xie put down the teacup, stood up, walked quickly beside Cao Ying, and pulled her out, where was there still a little bit of the calm appearance just now.
followed out, only Liu Yuanbao, and after Cao's mother knew that there was nothing wrong, she had no interest in coming out to watch. Cao's mother didn't come, and Cao's father stayed with him. As for Liu Bao, he was still wandering in the pit dug by Li Xie, with a decadent look.
Not to mention coming out to see the excitement, even if this group of people outside kills in, he may not have much reaction......
"Meet Grandmaster An Xiao!" Li Xie came to the outer courtyard and saw a large group of people lying on the ground. Most of them were armoured soldiers, and only a few were members of the house.
At this time, in front of An Xiao, the only one standing was Zhu Mu. Li Xie came and said hello. An Xiao turned around and saluted: "I've seen Lord Qing!" β
It is quite strange for the two to act with each other, and Li Xie is very casual in practicing etiquette on the rivers and lakes. An Xiao is a little more rigorous, and he practices the etiquette of the court.
Li Xie saluted, and Cao Ying and Liu Yuanbao followed the luggage. However, An Xiao also nodded and glanced over, which is also reasonable, after all, he is a grandmaster, and not everyone has to be polite when he sees it.
"It's okay, I'll see the excitement, Grandmaster Anxiao, you continue."
An Xiao nodded, turned to face the wood, "The general has thought about it." If you've got it figured out, let's go. Or you can choose to kill the old slave and escape. β
"Mr. An Xiao laughed." Tsuneki smiled bitterly and threw the knife out of his hand. Kill Anxiao? Not to mention that he doesn't have manpower now, even if he is given 200, 300 or even 500 people, he doesn't dare to think like this.
As for losing the knife in his hand, this is actually an attitude.
"The general walks slowly." Seeing that the two of them had the intention of leaving, Li Xie did not forget to raise his hand and wave it to say hello very friendly.
It's just that this voice, no matter how you look at it, how you listen to it, it's a bit underwhelming.
The tree was brought to Li Zhanji, and Li Zhanji just asked him to kneel underneath and deal with the twists and turns by himself, which made him kneel for an hour.
Don't think it's just kneeling, people who haven't done these things will never understand that when you're on your knees, ten minutes, twenty minutes may be easy, but when your feet start to feel pain, it's really like a year.
What's more, at this time, he was not dressed differently as usual, but the weight of the armor itself, plus the weight of the armor on his knees, increased greatly.
This kneeling is a whole hour of time, if it weren't for the good quality of the tree, I'm afraid that just finding an hour of time can make him faint.
Li Zhanji finally finished dealing with the things that should be dealt with today and dropped his pen. It seems that I have time to pay attention to the wood kneeling below:
"Tsukiki, my Left General. You're so good! Can you tell me when you took refuge in the family? β
Zhu Mu has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and since he followed Li Zhanji's side, he has done a lot of things for him, and it can be said that he is a right-hand man who is very popular with him. It is different from those Tibetan Feng who rarely meet, or don't know each other at all.
Wood is perennial in the open, is common to face, how can people be ruthless, even an emperor can't completely ignore the people who accompany him all the year round.
So for Zang Feng's people, although he has also done a lot of things for Li Zhanji, and the credit is not small, but because he has never seen them, those people are just a symbol and a tool to him, and Li Zhanji can dispose of them casually.
Of course, there will be heartache, but these heartaches are not aimed at personal feelings, but regret that their efforts have been wasted.
In contrast, it is different from Tsugi, after all, it is a person who often meets. Li Zhanji also made up his mind to dispose of him, but he hoped to be able to give a clear disposition.
It can also be seen here that dangling in front of the leader for a moment or two is actually very effective at a critical time.
"The minister was wronged, and the minister never took refuge in the family." When Zhu Mu heard Li Zhanji's words, his eyes were frightened, but he clearly knew how much he hated the family as an emperor. So he really can't carry such a pot, and he doesn't dare to carry it.
"None? Then tell me, why did you go to Cao's house to arrest people? You know that this man is appointed by me. What are you trying to do? Suppress me? β
Li Zhanji asked one after another, with unquestionable pressure, and asked him. In the face of the pressure given by Li Zhanji, the fine sweat came out.
"The minister is guilty of death, but the minister has never taken refuge in the family. will shoot at the Cao family, but it is really the minister's person who was arrested, and he threatened it, and the minister had to obey it. β
Tsuki slammed his head down, he knew that at this time he could only tell the truth. As long as he doesn't bear the name of colluding with the family, he feels that he can at least save his life.
"What a threat! Is that the woman you placed in Hujia Hutong? It seems that your friendship with her is much more important than your loyalty to me. β
Li Zhanji sighed, but this exclamation once again scared Zhu Mu out of his life and cold sweat. Zhu Mu also thought that he was doing things very secretly, and hid the woman in the Hujia Hutong, where few people lived.
Over the years, no one has attacked themselves with this matter. Zhu Mu thought that no one had ever noticed it, but he didn't want it because Li Zhanji didn't want to pursue this matter at all.
The identity of that woman was not unusual, back then, Li Zhanji was still the crown prince and had not yet ascended the throne. coincided with Concubine Zhen's birth, and Li Zhanji happened to be canonized on that day.
It was originally a happy event, but he didn't want the son of the emperor to be unwilling, so he only wanted to be a prince, and he blatantly launched a mutiny.
How much military power can a prince have? Li Zhanji had become the crown prince at that time, and he had a little real power in his hands, so he quickly suppressed them.
However, the struggle between him, the crown prince and those princes, was seen by which families. Such a good thing, can they not get a foot in it?
So, the people of the family also organized a team and directly attacked Li Zhanji's Prince's East Palace. So it became clear on which day Li Zhanji ascended the throne, on which day Li Xie was born, and Concubine Zhen died on that day.
At that time, Li Zhanji really hated this group of people, and immediately sent troops to slaughter those people in the palace. It was at that time that he was ordered to go.
But you shouldn't have fallen in love with a prince's woman, and Zhu Mu felt that she was going to kill anyway, so it was better to be happy first. That woman is not simple, that kung fu is good. Let Zhu Mu that can't stop and indulge in it.
Thinking carefully, he felt that it was nothing to miss a corpse in Nuoda's palace, so he secretly took her out and arranged her into Hujia Hutong.
Two months had passed when Li Zhanji knew about this. Li Zhanji originally wanted to directly execute the woman, but he thought that Zhu Mu had also made a contribution to himself.
After slaughtering most of the people involved, the anger in Li Zhanji's heart also came out, and after the anger was not so heavy, compassion naturally followed.
In addition, when I sent someone to inquire about the news, I brought back the news that the woman was pregnant. At that time, Zhu Mu was only married to a girl for a year, a year, that is, 12 months, and his wife's stomach never moved.
There is a little lover outside, and the belly will be big in two months. Know whether to say ridiculous or pathetic.
Anyway, this woman with a big belly suddenly made Li Zhanji think of Concubine Zhen. In this way, Li Zhanji is even more unable to do it. So there was no more targeting of this matter, which can be regarded as acquiescing to leaving the woman.
"Death penalty!" The wood didn't dare to lift it up, and shouted such a sentence. If he had known that the emperor's affairs had been known to the emperor, Zhu Mu would definitely not have come to this point.
The old husband and wife, the seven-year itch has passed, how much affection does he have for that woman? The child's mother is considered half a relative? So how much family affection can there be?
I'm afraid I don't know much about Zhu Mu himself, anyway, one thing that is clear is that in recent years, he has less and less time to go to Hujia Hutong.
"Since you know that you should die, let's be a bait in peace." Li Zhanji said this coldly, then ignored Zhu Mu and got up to leave.
"The minister is willing to be a bait, and the minister deserves to die, and he dare not survive. However, the minister's wife and children are so innocent, I beg Your Majesty to let them go. At this time, he didn't dare to hope that he would be alive.
Be a bait, he doesn't let others do such things. The person who used the bait died, it was normal, and it was normal to take his family and wife again. But he didn't want to take his son after he died.
I'm afraid that the only one who can stop it is this majesty, so while shouting against the mountain, he mercilessly slammed his head to the ground, once, twice.
Soon blood came out of the scalp, and the flesh and blood were blurred, but Zhu Mu didn't dare to stop his movements in the slightest.
Severe pain came from the door of the brain, and the constant impact made the head a little concussive, and there was a groggy feeling, just when the wood was about to lose its support.
"Your Majesty said, you can go in peace, his wife and children can spare his life." An Xiao's ghost-like voice suddenly came from the shadows. but they only hear their voices and do not see their people.
Zhu Mu was overjoyed, ignoring the pain in his head, and knocked his head three times. Shouting loudly while knocking back:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are ashamed of Your Majesty, you will definitely be a cow and a horse in the next life, and then serve Your Majesty."
Hearing that Li Zhanji let go of his family, Zhu Mu was relieved. He shouted a word, once again showing his loyalty. Hoping that he could save his life, he resolutely stood up and walked out.
For one night, with a bloody face and a knife, he single-handedly visited more than a dozen people he had suspected. There must be murder when you kill someone, but the people you kill are just inconsequential little people and slaves, and for these big families, it can be said that the death of one or two people has no effect. But at the same time, he also put cruel words in front of them, indicating that if they didn't send people back tomorrow, he would bring people to level the mansion.
What is it?
This is Yangmou!
Either you will jump out, or you will throw out a scapegoat to kill me. Otherwise, tomorrow Zhumu will definitely bring people to set foot on these families.
It's also a warning.
Tell these people who are secretly doing their hands and feet, Li Xie, you can't move. Otherwise, isn't it a replacement? Lao Tzu has human lives to fill you in.
This is Li Zhanji's warning, but for Zhu Mu, this series of actions is undoubtedly an act of death. People are already eyeing you, and they have really planted people around you.
What is even more certain is that this human hand can kill you at any time, as can be seen from the arrow stuck next to the pillow. But you're still alive, so you go to someone's house at night to get it.
What is this not death?
So after walking through the homes of all the doubters. When I returned home, I hurriedly wiped my body with water and lay down on the bed.
Lying on the bed, he didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that if he blinked his eyes, his life would be gone, and he grabbed the knife in his hand at any time, and his five fingers clenched the handle of the knife so hard that the ischemia of holding his fingers turned white.
The darkness of the room deepened his fear, but when he faced this fear himself, he didn't dare to shout loudly, and even the sound of breathing was controlled by him within a certain frequency, for fear that others would notice. He wasn't asleep yet.
The man who has been on the battlefield has walked back and forth several times on the edge of life and death. But at this time, Zhu Mu felt so quietly waiting for death, ten times more terrifying than charging on the battlefield.
Time passed minute by minute, and when a glimmer of light came in through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, Tsuki breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he didn't have to die today.
While breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, he remembered that he might have to live like this in the future, and he was full of fear for the future.
"If you want to be like this in the future, you might as well die." Zhu Mu sighed in his heart with three points of happiness, three points of relaxation, and four points of fear, but this thought just fell. A black dot magnified rapidly in front of his eyes, so fast that he couldn't react at all, and then there was boundless darkness......
The one who killed the tree was a man in black with extraordinary skills, and the arrows used to kill the tree were not shot with a bow, but they were thrown out completely by hand.
This man was also the pinnacle of this skill, and I saw that he came to the roof of the wood with a good light skill, gently brought the tiles, and then threw the arrow in, without looking at it, and turned and left.
This person is skilled, and he knows this mansion well, but unfortunately his cultivation is still a little worse. So much so that he didn't notice that after he left, a little dark shadow also left with him.
The difference between the two was only more than ten meters, and between the excitement of the roof, the man did not notice the anomaly behind him at all.
In this way, one person left the General's Mansion in Zhumu one after another, and then this person went to the Chen Mansion, the Lin Mansion, and walked around the nearly ten mansions.
These people have one thing in common, that is, they all went to Zhumu last night.
After doing this, this person went to the Huangfu with peace of mind.
