Chapter 0026: Killing Invisible
That Xu Zhutou was also active, jumping and walking, like a fat big chicken, rushing towards Gu Feng and them, and the direction was to Gu Feng alone, and his mouth echoed the words of Lord Tongzhi and said, "That's it!" Leave now, never come back here! β
"Rat dares!" Gu Yun stepped up diagonally in front of his younger brother, and the eight guards surrounded the two of them in unison. As soon as Xu Zhutou jumped a few steps away, and there was still a distance of more than ten meters from them, Gu Feng shouted: "We are all good people, the official can't be like this, God is to punish bad people and bad things...... As soon as the words fell, he suddenly saw Xu Zhutou's body trembling and stagnating, and he fell backwards with a random muffled snort, and fell straight and heavily on the ground, and there was no movement in his limbs, but his head moved a few times and then "disappeared".
"Huh? Xu Zhutou ...... Xu Zhutou ...... It was you who killed Xu Zhutou! Seeing that Xu Zhutou fell to the ground and did not move, Tongzhi Lao'er turned his face and framed the murder to Gu Feng and them. Gu Feng stared at Tongzhi Lao'er angrily and sneered, seeing that this shameless villain was also timid, and hurriedly avoided his gaze. Gu Feng shouted: "Lord Tongzhi is an official of the imperial court, and he can't slander people's innocence out of thin air!" We cannot afford this murderous charge, and we will never bear it. Because we don't have any weapons on anyone, although we have martial arts, but only for self-defense, we will never and will never kill anyone, because we are so far away, how can we kill him? He's the head catcher in the state government! Have any of you seen one of us kill? β
There really was no one who saw anyone kill someone, even if someone raised their hand, no one saw it.
"Xu Zhutou, like my eagle, was assassinated."
"None of us have such high martial arts, that eagle and that head catcher should have been sent by heaven, and they can't live if they do their own evils......"
"What damnation? There is not even thunder and lightning, how can the heavens punish them? Tongzhi Lao'er's eyes were already red, and his voice had changed his tone, like a bald-tailed quail in defeat.
Gu Feng wanted to continue to be angry with him to see how he would react, so he deliberately said: "If God wants to punish a treacherous person or bad things, does it still need to thunder?" Isn't it easy to quietly destroy people or things one by one? β
Chen Tongju and Zhou Dianshi both gathered around Xu Zhutou, let them turn over and over, and carefully checked, but they did not find out the reason for Xu Zhutou's death. One of them went to fetch the dead goshawk, and the Lord knew that he knelt on the ground on one leg and carefully went to check the goshawk one by one, and did not find out where it had been hit, or the hidden weapon that attacked it. The whole body is clean, not even a red dot is visible, but this person and a bird died under the noses of everyone, which really shocked the people in the state government, and most of them believed the so-called curse of God in the ancient style. You know, at that time in the Ming Dynasty, people were generally very superstitious. What "life and death have fate, wealth and nobility are in the sky", "divine authority of the monarch", "three outlines and five constants" and so on.
In fact, the eagle was killed by Gu Yun popping out an iron pea, smashing the internal organs through the back of the orifices, without scars or bleeding. And Xu Zhutou was shot by the guard Sun Ji with three embroidery needles inspired by the small strong crossbow in his wrist, which shot into his open mouth and pierced the cerebellum and died. So there is not the slightest trace on the appearance. Gu Feng saw that the head catcher in an official office was so treacherous and murderous, what kind of life would this bring to the common people? And he made up his mind to get rid of him.
Although Lord Tongzhi is insidious, he is an official of the imperial court after all, and he can't be punished casually, this one catcher, Gu Feng he has the power of life and death, but in order to be secretive and play a deterrent role, he knows that Sun Ji in the eight guards has a small strong crossbow hidden under his wrist, and he specializes in firing embroidery needles, so he arranged for Gu Yun to order Sun Ji to find an appropriate time to shoot Xu Zhutou with embroidery needles. Just as Xu Zhutou walked towards them, he was talking again, opening his mouth wide from time to time, which gave Sun Jike an opportunity to shoot this villain in one fell swoop.
Inviting the state government to do an autopsy also had no results, no evidence, and they couldn't rely on Gu Feng for this matter, so in desperation, Lord Tongzhi had to order someone to collect the body for Xu Zhutou. However, Master Tongzhi still suspected that it was Gu Feng's poisonous hand, and finally said viciously: "If this official catches the fact of your crime, he will cut you with a thousand knives!" β
Gu Feng was already extremely disgusted with this person, and replied to him coldly: "It is a shame for a sinister villain like you to enter the official mansion!" β
Back to the post house, Gu Feng has not been happy smiling, after dinner a person silently in the room to stroke the piano, sad, affectionate piano sound like silk drifting out of the window, people sound like crying.
The two wives, two concubines and all the maids silently gathered outside the door of Gu Feng's room, Song Baozhu sobbed lowly, looked at Gu Yun with tears in his eyes and said, "What's wrong with the officials today?" When she said this, the beauties who wiped their tears and those who had not yet wiped their tears all looked at Gu Yun, Gu Yun adjusted his emotions and reluctantly smiled and said: "Sisters, don't be sad, the official has nothing to do, he just misses his mother!" After the director is appointed here, I will wait for my sisters to accompany the official to visit my mother again to relieve the pain of missing relatives! It's okay! Let's go back to our rooms! β
The next day, Gu Feng called the female dependents again, and a group of twenty-two people went to the state government again, Gu Feng put Song Baozhu and her four big girls, Zhou Yuni and Jade Fox, Hua Ruyi and Xiangye, plus Bai Feng, Chang Shan, and Xiaoyu. Zhou Dianshi was surprised, and happily led these new forces to clean up the outside of the state government, but although these people are as handsome as immortals, although everyone is strong in martial arts, they can't do dirty work and tired work, they don't know how to do it, and they don't know what to do. At the end of the day, there wasn't much work to be done.
On the third day, Gu Feng didn't let his family go, but none of them were willing to stay, they couldn't do their work, and they went to see the excitement, which was a hundred times better than in the post station, Gu Feng smiled bitterly and had to take out 20 people from the escort team brought by Gao Cai and his wife, good guys, this time it was an army of forty-four people, and they drove to the state office, and the eyes of the officials in the state government were shining.
"This is a friend of Lord Shinchishu? What kind of pomp and circumstance is this? Why does it look more and more like the guards of the princes and ministers? "It's really right to ask some old officials to see it, this momentum is that of Lord Xinzhizhou, and it is not much different from the princes and ministers.
Gu Feng and Gu Yun, as well as Song Baozhu, Hua Ruyi, etc., they designed and commanded, and the others did the work, after all, there were more people and less work, and it was finally done in another day. At the end of the day, Gu Feng said: "Okay! It's all sorted out and built according to my wishes, and I won't be troubled by the poor environment when I ascend to the church tomorrow. As soon as these words came out, Gu Yun was startled, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, signaling him not to reveal his identity too early, Gu Feng immediately realized that he was forgetful, and hurriedly shut up, fortunately he was surrounded by guards, and outsiders were far away and could not hear clearly.
The next day, the fourth watch of the ancient style of the official clothes and hats, led sixteen guards, specially borrowed eight guards from the lord of Jing'er to come over to decorate the faΓ§ade, and followed by Gu Yun, who was holding the banner of the imperial pen and the "Oral Edict Zhuangyuanlang", had come to the state yamen. Wang Zhao stepped forward to call the door, but the doorman opened the door very reluctantly, and just said in his mouth, "This is still an adult...... The emperor has arrived...... I see who is stunned and full of ......", immediately closed his mouth, and then knelt down and shouted: "It's the villain who has eyes and no beads, and greets Lord Zhizhou...... Greeting ......"
Usually the director of the hall is the queen of the fifth watch, that is, after dawn, today Gu Feng deliberately wants to see the "love and dedication" of the state officials, and immediately ordered the drum to be promoted to the hall as soon as he sat down in the hall. There has been no chief official in this state for a long time, and it is usually very quiet, so it can be said that it was silent and dead during the fourth watch. Today, there was a sudden sound of drums, which was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, resounding in every corner of the state office, and finally hovering in the sky for a long time.
After beating the drum three times in a row and beating the gong three times, there is a long interval between them, and then the beating begins. After a while, a few officials and servants were in place, and Gu Feng saw Chen Tongju and Zhou Dianshi in a hurry. In the second day, there were more people coming, but less than half of the people who should be in place. After the third day, two-thirds of the public servants came. However, until this time, I did not see the arrival of Tongzhi-sama.
After the fifth watch, it was time to go to work, but there was still no one to come.
"Pass the order, don't come to work if you haven't arrived at this time!"
