Chapter 577: Murder by Knife (I)
In the same hall, in the same position, the same Jun porcelain tea bowl was smashed to the ground again by Zeng Kaiqian.
But the difference from the previous time is that the fear in Zeng Kaiqian's heart has increased more than tenfold at this time, because his current situation can no longer be described as bad, it is completely a man-made knife and a fish and meat.
As an important minister of the imperial court, and with the identity of a chap, Zeng Kaiqian never imagined that Sun Tu would be so bold before, which is completely contrary to the cautious and trembling style of the Great Song Dynasty military generals he knew, this is an outlaw who is so bold that he does not take the majesty of the court in his eyes.
Sun Tu not only directly took down the guards he brought with him in the barracks, but also sent people to "invite" all the forbidden troops here to go back. And in the face of the bows and crossbows that had already been wound, the soldiers of the forbidden army who had a good skin did not dare to resist at all, and they were quickly taken away, leaving only three or five people still listening to the use in front of them, and the entire line was actually under Sun Tu's control.
In other words, even the life and death of Zeng Kaiqian, the Qin Mission, was actually in Sun Tu's thoughts, which was undoubtedly a great irony for Zeng Jianjun, who was conceited and thought that he could control everything before coming to Qingzhou.
But after smashing the tea bowl, Zeng Kaiqian still sadly found that he was still so helpless, and then it seemed that he could only be an obedient and obedient puppet, as a mouthpiece for Sun Tu's perfunctory court to save his life. What's even more tragic is that he doesn't have the courage to die, so he can only accept such an outcome.
In addition to anger and sorrow, Zeng Kaiqian thought of a question after calming down a little - how could he fail, and it was a complete failure?
At first, he thought that one of them had betrayed him, but judging from the changes just now, they were also kept in the dark, at least all the generals who promised him that they would stand by his side were detained by Sun Tu. In this way, the problem should only appear around him, is someone secretly leaking his plan to seize power to Sun Tu to know, who will this be?
"Sun Tu once mentioned that if I win over the people around him, he can also win over the people around me...... But the ones I brought are all cronies who have been used for many years, and they will never betray me at such a critical moment, unless it is ......" Finally, a person's name has appeared in his mind: "Lu Qian, I knew it was you!" You have been in a relationship with Sun Tu earlier, but I can't imagine that you would be so bold and live up to the importance of the court and the officials! ”
Thinking of the previous things, Zeng Kaiqian easily aimed all his suspicions at Lu Qian. Suspicion is like a poisonous seed, once it sprouts, it will spread unscrupulously, so that the more people think about it, the more they feel that the other party is the culprit. At this time, his thoughts were also average, as long as he thought about Lu Qian's movements of leaving Xingyuan several times, and then thought about his obvious close relationship with Sun Tu, and now that almost all the guards of the forbidden army were ordered by Sun Tu to take down, only he could stay here safely, it made Zeng Kaiqian even more suspicious.
"Come on, go and call Lu Qian to me." Zeng Kaiqian quickly preached. Sun Tu didn't dare to provoke him, but Lu Qian, a treacherous guy, he had to teach him a good lesson in order to get out of this evil breath.
But the result disappointed him: "Squire, Lu Yuhou went out earlier and is not here. ”
"What?" Zeng Kaiqian's face became more and more gloomy when he heard this: "At this time, he can still go out at will, it seems that my judgment is really good, this Lu Qian is the culprit who betrayed everyone and made my whole plan completely fail!" At this moment, his heart was full of anger, even killing intent. Especially when he thought of his current situation, and compared to Lu Qian's ability to enter and exit here freely, he felt more and more unbalanced in his heart.
But in fact, at this time, Lu Qian was far from being at ease as he thought, but seemed a little trembling, although he was holding a wine glass in his hand, he didn't mean to drink at all, and he was repenting with guilt on his face: "I know that what I did was too despicable, I shouldn't have done such a thing because I wanted to please Gao Yanei, Brother Lin, I was wrong." I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness, I just hope you don't kill me! ”
Just because the person sitting opposite him was Lin Chong, who he was most afraid of seeing, but this time it was Lin Chong who called him out of the line.
Lin Chong's eyes didn't have much emotion, just stared at him coldly: "You and I have been friends since childhood, and I also think that I have never done anything sorry for you, why do you want to hurt me so much?" Do you know that if I hadn't arrived in time, I would have ...... There is a way to kill the father, the hatred of taking the wife, the hatred of you and me, but it can't be passed with a few words of apology! ”
"I know, in fact, I regretted it after that...... Lu Qian was even more frightened, and could only apologize desperately: "I'm not a person, and please Brother Lin, you have been friends for many years, don't kill me......" Whether it is personal martial arts, or his current status in Qingzhou, the difference between him and Lin Chong is too great, so that he can't afford to resist at all, the only thing he can do is to make amends and beg for mercy, so he sent Lin Chong to kneel.
Lin Chong's faint gaze stared at him for a while, as if judging whether he was saying this from his heart. After a while, he said again: "This time, Sun Dujian still has a place to use you, so I won't kill you." But I can tell you, as long as you can't do what we say this time, then I'm desperately subject to military justice, and I'm going to pluck your heart! ”
Hearing that Sun Tu still had his own place, this made Lu Qian greatly relieved, after coming to Qingzhou, he knew how powerful and influential this person was here, as long as he was willing to spare his life, he would be safe. So he nodded and said, "Brother Lin, what you tell is, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse." ”
"It's very simple, keep an eye on Zeng Kaiqian, especially when he has contact with people from the DPRK and China in the future, and sends letters and other things to the capital, we have to make sure that he doesn't make any moves that affect the overall situation." Lin Chong said without any concealment: "If you can do this, the previous things can be written off." ”
Lu Qian heard this, but his heart struggled, once he responded to this matter, he would be completely antagonistic to Zeng Kaiqian and the court behind him. If things really change, I'm afraid the court will definitely not let it go.
But after seeing the other party's gloomy eyes, Lu Qian could only smile and nod bitterly. How the court blames it in the future is a matter for the future, and now if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will have to die on the spot: "Okay, I'...... I promise you! ”
Lin Chong put away the murderous aura on his body at this time, and took a sip of the wine in the cup: "I hope you can do what you say and don't do anything double-faced." Every three days, our people who are guarding outside will ask you for a record of what you have done, and you will have to get everything done. ”
Although Lu Qian felt embarrassed, he finally nodded bitterly and agreed to the matter, and then after drinking the wine in the cup, he fled and left. It was only at this time that Lin Chong's eyes revealed a more complicated look, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he was muttering something.
At this time, the rear turned out of Sun Tulai: "Senior Brother Lin, are you soft-hearted?" ”
Lin Chong shook his head: "I only have resentment towards Lu Qian, how can I talk about soft-heartedness." But this is not the revenge I imagined......"
"The revenge you imagine should be that the two of them fought for their lives, and in the end he was inferior to others and was killed by your own hands, right?" Sun Tu said, remembering the section in the book about the Fengxue Mountain Temple, where Lin Chong did rely on his superb martial arts blade Lu Qian and other enemies, and then started a new life in which he fell into the grass.
Lin Chong was silent for a moment before nodding, this was indeed the final appearance of revenge in his imagination over the years, rather than using power and means to make Lu Qian fall into the trap of death.
Seeing this, Sun Tu laughed: "Senior Brother Lin, you are really a fair and upright man, and you like to use the most direct way to take revenge." But have you thought about it, such revenge can only be regarded as a relief for him. And what we have to do is to let a villain like him taste despair, so that even if he dies, he will not be prepared at all, so that he can really relieve the hatred in his heart. And only such a death can make the best use of it, and Sun Tu did not say the last sentence directly.
Lin Chong nodded heavily: "I understand." And this meeting means that he will definitely die, in a sense, he can be regarded as killed by me, and he does not have to dirty my hands, and it can be regarded as a great revenge! ”
"yes. Now it depends on when Zeng Kaiqian will understand, and whether he has the courage to kill someone. Sun Tu sighed quite yearningly, the reasons and flaws were given to the other party, and then it was up to him to see what Zeng Kaiqian would do.

"I've seen the waiter, but I don't know what the waiter commands?" After returning to Xingyuan after dark, Lu Qian was called to Zeng Kaiqian. He was already a little afraid of this Qin Mission, but now because he responded to Lin Chong's request, he felt even more like a thief when he saw the other party again, but at this time, he didn't even have the courage to raise his eyes to look at the other party in person.
And his performance fell into Zeng Kaiqian's eyes, and he became more and more convinced, he was indeed the culprit who betrayed himself early in the morning, so his heart was even more angry: "Lu Yuhou, you really have vision and dare to do things!" ”
Hearing the hatred in the other party's words, Lu Qian felt even more frightened, and his head hung lower: "Humble ...... I don't know what I did wrong, and if I offend the waiter, I ask the waiter to punish him. ”
"Do you think this official still dares to punish you? You're amazing, you've found a good backer. Zeng Kaiqian sneered, stood up unconsciously, walked closer and stared at him.
