Chapter 11: Killing the Officer

The chief housekeeper took the black-robed man to bypass the bright and dark sentry of the patrol courtyard in the house, and walked silently, until he arrived at the door of the small courtyard of Zaifu's study, and the chief housekeeper signaled the black-robed man to wait in the dark.

"You all go down, I have something important to tell the master, and I am not allowed to enter the study within twenty zhang without being summoned." The chief butler gave orders to several servants who were guarding the door of the study.

"Yes!" A group of servants bowed with their fists and retreated.

The chief butler beckoned to the black-robed man, but he didn't see how the black-robed man moved, and flew over lightly, as if he was panning, without a sound. The chief butler was stunned, and said in a low voice, "Distinguished guests, please." ”

Without saying a word, the black-robed man pushed the door in, looked around, turned right and walked towards the desk where the light was brightest. There was an armchair on the opposite side of the desk, and the black-robed man sat on the chair by himself, and saw a fifty-year-old man supporting his forehead with one hand and quickly sliding on the words on the book with the other. The black-robed man looked at Zaifu's left-hand side, and there were about seven or eight books that had not been approved.

Neither of them spoke, and the black-robed man sat on a chair to watch Zaisuke busy, and Lord Zaisuke did not look up at the person opposite, and there was only the sound of "bang" when the wick was too long and burned out.

Until Zaifu finished processing the recital on the left hand side, he divided the stacked recital book on the right hand side into two and sorted it out and pushed it to the desk. While arranging the pages scattered on the table, Jang Jae-fu placed several pens of different thicknesses on the inkstone on the top of the suspension.

"The distinguished guest went around a few circles to find the old man, it will not just come to see how the old man handles official business, if the distinguished guest has nothing to say, forgive the old man for not leaving the distinguished guest in the house for supper." Zhang Zaifu cleaned up the table, turned around and took a slender iron needle, went to the oil lamp to pick out the lamp, and the room lit up a little.

In the candlelight, Zaisuke's hair is gray, his lips are very thin, a few long strands of beard are very clean, although he is wearing a brocade robe, but the color is dark, and it does not look gaudy, there is a small jade buckle hanging on his belt, his feet are wearing wrong lines and light shoes, and the heel is tied with "and Tidan Heart Knot", which is a person who pays attention to his appearance every day.

"The Lord has sent me to make sure that you are not the person we are looking for." The black-robed man's dry voice made Zhang Zaifu frown subconsciously.

"You arrested Lord Lang of Luoling Mansion and asked Lord Lang to deliver a letter to me, threatening me that if I don't see you tonight, you will kill an official of more than three grades every day, what do you want?"

"You don't have to doubt the Lord's ability, we say that if you kill an official of the third grade or higher in a friendly country every day, you will never take four, five, or six grades to fill the number, if you don't believe it, you can try it. Our lord said that you are a proud person, it is useless to threaten you and your family, your greatest ambition is to assist your emperor, so that the country will become better and stronger, and the emperor will be virtuous and virtuous, and he will be famous in history, which is really exciting to think about. By the way, in order for you to be sure of our ability, Lord Lang is already in a different place, and Zhang Zaifu can prepare a gift later, and go directly to Lord Lang's house to mourn after tomorrow. ”

"How dare you ......!" Zhang Zaifu's eyes were split, the tea cup in his hand was pinched and squeaked, and one hand trembled and pointed at the black-robed man.

"We've done it, Master Zhang, do you dare to do it. If Master Zhang can't agree to our request, I don't know which adult's head is going to move tomorrow. Tsk, in fact, I don't hope that Lord Zhang will agree tonight, the Lord has not allowed us to kill so happily for a long time. Those high-ranking officials who are high in the mountains on weekdays, in order to survive, will be like ordinary people, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy, let them do whatever they want, and never bargain. Just in Lord Lang's mansion, Lord Lang pulled out the eyeballs of his favorite concubine in order to survive. Master Zhang may not understand, it's all about killing, cutting off his head with a knife, and torturing the other party in every possible way to gain the pleasure of domination, then the feeling is far from the same. The black-robed man seemed to enjoy the process of killing, and he didn't care about Zhang Zaifu's gaze, and sat on the chair and deliberately rubbed his hands. I don't know if the officials above the third rank have been killed, who will implement the decrees of you and your emperor, and who will implement the ruling ambitions. There are about 180 third-grade officials in the United Kingdom, and some of them are in other places, but it doesn't matter, there are many of us, and we will never lose our words if we say that we will kill one every day. ”

"What the hell do you want me to do?" Zhang Jae-fu could no longer imagine that once a large number of high-ranking officials were killed, the situation in which the country had managed to survive in the cracks of other countries would collapse immediately, the government decrees would not work, chaos would arise, and the country would not be a country.

"It's very simple, our lord doesn't want to embarrass you and your emperor too much, as long as you hand over the secret heirloom seal. In addition, our Lord will arrange for people to contact you regularly, and when you receive our instructions, you must do exactly what the instructions ask you to do, otherwise, everything you don't want to see will happen in front of you. ”

"The heirloom treasure seal of the Qi Dynasty has long been lost, where do we find the treasure seal and hand it over to you, even if there is, it must be agreed by the emperor......"

The black-robed man got up from his chair, grabbed Zhang Zaifu's neck, jumped to the wall, and suspended Zhang Zaifu against the wall. Zhang Zai Fuwen was a weak scholar, his hands instinctively grabbed the wrist of the black-robed man, but he couldn't break free, he was quickly unable to breathe, his face was bloodshot, his eyes were turned up, and his feet kept stepping on the wall, but he had nowhere to focus, and he was about to die.

When the big butler heard the sound, he immediately entered the study, and when he saw that Lord Zaifu's life was on the verge of death, he hurriedly bullied forward, and quickly patted the back of the head of the black-robed man with both palms, looking at the skills of the big butler, he was already a great master of the half-step realm.

The black-robed man listened to the wind behind his back, pressed the wall with one hand, and still maintained the posture of pinching Zaifu's neck with the other, and the whole person was suspended in the air, perpendicular to the wall, like a bat hanging on a beam. His feet quickly exchanged thirty or fifty moves with the palm of the big butler, and one kicked the left chest of the big butler, and the big butler took a few steps back and fell to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out far away, and there was no power to fight.

"Don't move, if you move again, you'll all die!" The black-robed man fell back to the ground and let go of the hand that was holding Zhang Jaefu.

Zhang Jaefu slipped to the ground, couldn't move, knelt on the ground and bent over to breathe heavily, and it took a long time to get a little better.

The black-robed man hooked his fingers, and Zhang Zaifu and the chief butler each had a short fusiform pointed swallowtail knife hanging from their necks, and the black of the tip of the knife was extremely gloomy in the dim light of the candle flame, and the chief butler knew that the knife was highly poisonous at a glance.

Controlling objects within a certain range with mental power without using your hands and feet to directly control them is a sign of martial arts.

"Great Grandmaster of the Nian Realm, why do you want to do this to bully my master, a powerless scholar." The chief housekeeper was afraid that his master would be injured, so he didn't dare to act rashly, he just wanted to use words to squeeze the black-robed man, and wanted to provoke him to release Zhang Zaifu.

"Don't worry, I didn't plan to kill him in the first place, he is still useful to the Lord, and the Lord is reluctant to let him die so soon." The black-robed man finished speaking, hooked his fingers and withdrew the quenched shuttle knife, squatted down beside Zhang Zaifu, and patted Lord Zaifu's face. "I just want to tell you that we have 10,000 ways to come to you, and visiting you is the most polite kind, don't be embarrassed. You don't have to pretend that you don't know that the heirloom seal is in your kingdom, for to the Lord there is no secret in your kingdom. ”

"You'd better be obedient, a treasure seal, your emperor will be willing. He has not dared to sleep for more than two months, and the daily torment of nightmares is not pleasant, you can help our lord to bring him a message. The black-robed man stretched out his right index finger and middle finger, gestured twice to his eyes, and said word by word, "We're looking at him." ”

"Don't doubt our abilities, someone will be looking for you in the near future." After the black-robed man finished speaking, he went out and walked away, and there was no trace of him, and the servants who patrolled the courtyard did not notice it at all.

The big housekeeper smoothed his blood and helped his master, but fortunately, his master was just a little frightened and was not injured.

"Zhang Shun, it doesn't matter if you want it." Zhang Jaefu patted the dust on his clothes and asked the housekeeper.

"Thank you for your concern, a little injury, it's not in the way, it's okay."

"Zhang Shun, go get some plaster, stick it on my neck, the bruises are too deep to hinder the view, tomorrow in the court, it will be rubella."

"Okay, I'll go get it."

The big housekeeper went to get the plaster, and Zhang Zaifu looked at the wall that was kicked by himself, and was secretly anxious.

The meaning of this black-robed person is unknown, and only the emperor and himself know about the heirloom treasure seal in the country, but it was easily said by this person, which shows that even the emperor is under his surveillance, and the country is in danger.
