Chapter 549: Killing People and Destroying Mouths
"Third master, Miss Mingyue has gone to bed." In the courtyard of Dugu Mansion in Dongcheng, an old lady came to report to Dugu Moyu with a worried face.
"Very good, you did a good job, go down to the housekeeper and get the reward!" Dugu Moyu glanced at her and said.
The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this, but she still hesitated a little and said: "Thank you to the third master, it's just that Miss Mingyue rarely spends the night outside the main mansion, if the eldest master and the lady ask, what should the slave and maid say?" β
Dugu Moyu had obviously already thought of a rhetoric: "You just said that you were tired of playing in the moon and fell asleep in the other courtyard." β
The old lady then retreated.
Miss Mingyue's name is Dugu Mingyue, she is the pearl of Dugu Gate, the youngest daughter of Dugu Luo, the head of the Dugu family, who belongs to the kind of old man, born beautiful and cute, smart and clever since childhood, and likable. Therefore, not only Dugu Luo is extremely favored, but Dugu Changsu and Dugu Moyu are also extremely fond of these uncles, especially Dugu Mingyue's more than ten brothers who treat them as treasures and take care of them all day long.
Before King Bodo set off this afternoon, he specially instructed Dugu Moyu to find a way to deceive Dugu Mingyue from Dugu Lord's Mansion and stay in the other courtyard to prevent the assassination of Dugu Changsu.

After the old grandmother beside Dugu Mingyue left, Dugu Moyu paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, and all half the night, he was waiting for the news that his second brother Dugu Changsu was killed, but the news just didn't come, although he also knew that it couldn't be so fast, at least until midnight, but when this matter was about to happen, he finally lost his patience.
Two different emotions, worry and expectation, were intertwined in Dugu Moyu's heart, making him a little upset and restless, it was already past the end of the day, and King Pota and his party should come back?
At this moment, there were footsteps outside, Dugu Moyu was surprised, he stepped forward and opened the door a few steps, and saw King Porto walking in in a black robe with blood stains on his body, followed by more than 20 dead soldiers who were also covered in blood.
"If you succeed, you know how to do the rest of the work!" King Bodo glanced at Dugu Moyu, and went to the place where he lived, where Dugu Moyu had equipped him with eight flower-like maids, ready hot water, he was going to wash the blood, change into clean clothes, and prepare to enter the palace to meet the Great Sui Emperor.
"You have done a great deed today, and each of you has given you a hundred acres of fertile land and five hundred taels of silver. The East Courtyard has prepared a meal of wine and meat for you, you go to eat first, and then wash it, and the old man will arrange for someone to send you the land deed and silver. Dugu Moyu forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said to the more than twenty dead soldiers who saluted him.
As soon as these dead soldiers left one by one with great surprise, Dugu Moyu summoned a confidant and asked, "Are the drinks and food in the East Courtyard ready?" β
The henchman whispered: "Third master, don't worry, the wine and dishes are all put in the crane top red, and I promise to kill them all." β
Dugu Moyu nodded and said, "You did a good job, go to the housekeeper and withdraw five hundred taels of silver, which is considered a reward." β
The henchman was overjoyed when he heard this, and saluted respectfully: "Third Master Xie, retire from your humble position." β
After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and before he had time to scream, his mouth was blocked by Dugu Moyu with his hand, he looked down, a knife tip appeared in his chest, and he was killed on the spot with a desperate and incredible expression.
"Don't blame me, except for His Holiness the Venerable, everyone who knows about this must all die." Dugu Moyu slowly placed the corpse of his henchman on the ground, and a trace of guilt flashed in his expression.
At this moment, a henchman guard ran over with a frightened face, and looked at the corpse on the ground and was stunned.
Dugu Moyu hurriedly said: "He is a traitor planted by the enemy beside me, he actually wanted to assassinate me, and he has been killed by me, so you will clean up his body later." β
"Yes, Third Master." The guard looked at Dugu Moyu with a strange expression, agreed, and then suddenly remembered what he wanted to report, and said with a panicked face: "Third master, it's not good, the second master will surround the courtyard with hundreds of guards and two thousand city guards, and the second master will let you go out to see him." β
"What, the second brother brought someone here, are you sure it's the second master?"
Dugu Moyu's face turned pale, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and the sudden news seemed to make him step on the air, so shocked that he was almost out of breath.
"This must be an illusion, this damn guard is lying to him, just now Venerable Dharma King said that he has already killed the second brother." Dugu Moyu muttered to himself in his heart.
"The villain can see it very clearly, it is indeed the second master." The henchman guard said with an affirmative expression.
Dugu Moyu's heart was in turmoil, but when he thought that no matter why the second brother was still alive, and the person who assassinated the second brother on his side had already died, he calmed down a little in his heart, and said to the henchman: "You first go and report the news outside the door to His Holiness the Venerable King, and then go to the east courtyard, where there are more than 20 traitors and assassins, who have been poisoned by my design, you throw all their corpses into the dry well in the backyard, and then seal the dry well." β
The henchman guard saw Dugu Moyu's solemn expression, and even faintly panicked, although he felt that something was very strange, but he didn't dare to ask more, let alone slack off, so he agreed and ran away.
Dugu Moyu forcibly suppressed the uneasiness and panic in his heart, and recruited more than a dozen henchmen to follow him to the outside of the mansion.
The annex of this Dugu Mansion has been surrounded by more than 2,000 people, in addition to the 500 guards of the Dugu family, there are also 2,000 city guards to assist Dugu Changsu's actions.
More than 2,000 people held torches, shining in front of the house gate as if it were day, Dugu Changsu held the token of the head of the house in his hand, his eyes were cold, on the steps of the house gate, more than ten guards at the door did not dare to stop him at all, and knelt on the ground, but in order to avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries and let King Hata take advantage of the chaos to escape, he did not take people to rush in.
At this time, someone shouted: "The third master is here!" β
The door opened, Dugu Moyu walked out quickly, followed by more than a dozen henchmen guards, he forced a smile, stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing here......
Before he finished speaking, his face changed, because he saw the family master token in Dugu Changsu's hand, which was something that only the family master could hold.
Dugu Changsu looked at Dugu Moyu with a complicated expression, and said: "Third brother, you were controlled by the demon King Bodo with demon magic, and tried in vain to send it to the palace to the detriment of Your Majesty, and even let the demon lead someone to assassinate me!" β
Dugu Moyu's body trembled, staggered, his face turned pale, and he screamed: "Second brother, you are talking nonsense, I don't have ......"
PS: I'm sorry for two nights in a row, especially for the brothers who cheered me and voted for the monthly ticket, so no matter how late it is, even if I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow, I must have four shifts tonightββββ
