Chapter Forty-Eight: I'm Sorry, Uncle!
"It's all your sins, more than thirty."
Yuan Ji lowered his head and blew his nails again, and said casually, "Bullying the king and abusing power, running rampant at will, forming traitors at home and abroad, and losing the popularity of the world." Relying on the evil of the party and disrupting national politics. He violated the edict and tortured the people, and exterminated the Sukh Saha clan. Kill Bai Erhetu in vain, your and so on. If you look at it slowly, it will definitely make you recall your life full of evil, just like appreciating the knife. ”
After a pause, he said, "Oh, the comment of Evil Guan Manying was not given by me, but the emperor's opinion on how to deal with you discussed with Prince Kang Jieshu and others. ”
"What are you going to do with the minions?" Ao Bai asked through gritted teeth as he looked at it, his hand holding the paper was shaking.
"Well, of course, you're dismissed and beheaded."
Motoyoshi was like talking about an inconsequential person, "Your own brothers, cut together." Wife and grandson, slave, family property is confiscated. The clansmen, all who have official positions and are in the army, shall be dismissed, whipped a hundred, and put on armor to fill the frontier. ”
As he spoke, he laughed again, "Jieshu is not sensible and scares people." Don't worry, the emperor is kind-hearted, at most he will imprison you to death, and it will not be beheaded. As for the army, it doesn't matter, which of our Eight Banners Ding Zhuang is not a soldier? It's just a change of place to serve. ”
Ao Bai's eyes darkened when he heard the sound, after all, he was old, he closed his eyes and slowed down, and the Venus in front of him disappeared.
"Ao Bai, your minister who cares for his life is the one who pays for his loyalty."
Yuan Ji blew his nails, raised his head and said, "Your little martial arts is a vanguard general, when have you ever led an army alone?" In terms of martial arts, King Ying, King Yu, King Su, these are all the bosses you have followed, and any one of them will throw you eight streets. You can be a supreme minister, not because of how brave you are, or because you are loyal enough. If you are faithful, why not be faithful to the end? Why embarrass the emperor? ”
"Your Majesty." Ao Bai howled sadly, tears were mixed for a while, and he was almost choked.
Yuan Ji was indifferent, quietly glanced at the "emotional" Aobai, and said coldly: "Aobai, you are not the former Aobai, you are loyal, but you also have selfishness." Right and wrong are other people's business, my business, is to ask you, how do you want to die? ”
Ao Bai stared at Yuan Ji, took a few breaths, and then said, "I want to hear it!" ”
"Within ten steps, the enemy country is exhausted, and I am here to kill you."
Yuan Ji said calmly, "You are Manchurian Baturu, that Aobai forty years ago, I am not an opponent. Now you, in one room, will only die at my hands. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the knife in his hand and turned it upside down again, and smiled, "Besides, I have another knife in my hand, so I can kill you faster." ”
After that, he raised his hand, threw the hand-untying knife in his hand to the horizontal table behind Aobai, and sighed, "You are old, there is no need to take advantage of your knife again." ”
Ao Bai glanced at the lightly swaying knife on the table, then withdrew his gaze, indifferent.
"Tell you the truth, Aobai, you're dead."
Yuan Ji didn't want to kill at all, but leaned back, half leaned on the bed frame, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he said easily, "Today either I will take your head away, or you will leave my head, but tomorrow you will have to die, unless you leave the emperor's head as well."
I came here today because I just want you to die, if you don't die today, there will be countless people who will die with you tomorrow. ”
"The slave is going to thank Jiubeizi for his grace?" Aobai's words were sarcastic, but there was a touch of sadness in his eyes.
"Thank me for being right, I didn't use it, killing you like a chicken."
Yuan Ji stared at Aobai's eyes and said calmly, "Do you know why the square outside Donghua Gate is being renovated?" ”
"I don't know." Ao Bai shook his head.
"I'm burying explosives that can blow you up to pieces."
Yuan Ji shook his legs and said with a smile, "The emperor appointed you as the chief examiner of the examination, just to let you have a little bit of civility and bring less guards, just to wait for you to enter the palace to thank you." As for me, I will be responsible for blowing you up when you enter the palace.
I picked up the same explosives in the alley, and I didn't pick them in for fear of killing your family. ”
Ao Bai's face was gloomy, and he finally believed that the emperor was really going to kill him, and Donghua Gate was not repaired by anyone who wanted to.
Without the emperor's approval and the cooperation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who could have dug up the square outside the Donghua Gate and buried explosives with great fanfare?
Yuan Ji felt that he was very shameless, so he planned to be more shameless, and said: "You don't thank the examiner for his kindness, but you have to thank other graces, Cao Xi gave you the dragon and phoenix silk forging, you can't divide the palace points?" When you send something into the palace, the emperor will send you down. ”
"Cao Xi?" Ao Bai was dumbfounded.
"yes."
Yuan Ji nodded, "There are a lot of people around the emperor, haven't you seen that Curb Bilong has ignored you in recent days?" Everyone is waiting for you to die! You're in the dark. ”
Ao Bai's body shook, and there was a sadness in his eyes that was more confused than his heart was dead.
A series of bad news that he had never thought of seriously hit his heart, thinking that he was in power, it turned out that he had betrayed his relatives and left?
"Ao Bai, if you don't die, how to die, the consequences are completely different."
Yuan Ji calmly recounted, "If the emperor makes a move, your death will be small, and your children and grandchildren will be implicated, and many people will be implicated by you." If I kill you outside the Donghua Gate, it will be no different from the emperor killing you, and everyone knows that it is the emperor who wants to kill you. Therefore, I can only take your life in private, and it has nothing to do with the emperor. ”
said, laughing, "There is a great horror between life and death, you can also ask yourself to resign from all official positions and ask for the grace of returning to Shengjing's hometown, then you don't have to die."
Maybe you quit a long time ago, so many people are surrounding you, don't you die, will you resign? ”
Bow down silently.
"Taishi."
With a shout, a person suddenly popped out from behind the bed, Bamburshan pulled away the curtain that was blocking the way, stepped forward in three or two steps, pointed at Yuanji and said loudly, "The Taishi must not listen to his words, the emperor is chong Ling and practiced, this year is only fifteen, and he is either learning Han dialect all day long, or being a child." Even if I annoyed the Taishi, tricked the Taishi into the palace, and called the servants to capture the Taishi, I believe it. ”
As he spoke, he glared at Yuan Ji again, "But how could this ferocious act of burying explosives outside the Donghua Gate come from that little emperor?" Kangxi can't even find a credible person around him, and who is Cao Xi contacted? This is why the emperor wants to kill the Taishi, it is obvious that there are ministers who secretly collude with the clan and want to get rid of the Taishi. ”
"Yo-hee."
Yuanji was not interested in what Bamburshan said, but was very curious about the place where he jumped out, and while walking behind the bed, looking for tunnels and secret doors, he admired, "Aobai, you can really do it, you can cultivate a secret path in the bedroom, and you are not afraid of wild men entering your room to steal people!" Bamburshan, are you alone? ”
"I'm the only one." Bambur didn't have a good airway.
"That's good."
Yuan Ji nodded, he had found the secret door, leading to an independent mezzanine, hiding two staff or guards is no problem, the outer door is estimated to be open in a certain business inn or private house in the Wuliang Hutong, and you can run away from the backyard room in a crisis.
"Good what?" Ban Bushan was even more angry, he really hated Yuanji, the strange child in the clan, and he was so bold that he actually came to the door to fool the Taishi.
Is it wishful thinking that the master will judge himself?
What are you kidding, Gu Ming Auxiliary Minister, second-class duke, as a court master, can be fooled to death by a junior?
"Good thing you're back."
Yuan Ji smiled and walked between Ao Bai and Bamburshan, and smiled at Ao Bai first, "I said that either I will take your head away today, or you will leave my head behind, and my words have no evidence, I will prove it for you now." ”
As he spoke, he casually picked up the hand-relief knife on the horizontal table, and smiled at Bamburshan, "It's the same clan, I'm embarrassed to kill you, but who made me young, I didn't vote for my name, and the master believed me." ”
"You... What did you say? ”
Bambur was dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief, "You dare to kill me? ”
"That's right."
Yuan Ji nodded and smiled kindly, "I'm sorry, uncle!" ”
With that, the back of his left hand suddenly lifted, and he swept towards Bamburshan's eyes like a whip.
While Bamburshan instinctively leaned back and raised his arms to block, he only felt a chill in his heart, and when he looked down, he saw a hand-unraveling knife, which was inserted in his chest, and he had no handle to enter.
looked up in amazement, and in the more and more hazy eyes, I only vaguely saw that the strange boy who had just called himself uncle was still smiling.
Who stabbed me?
In the last moments of his life, Bamburshan still did not believe that he was killed by the man in front of him.
"Bamburshan!"
Ao Bai shouted, leaned over to support the body of Bamburshan who was falling backwards, turned his head and looked at Yuanji who was smiling viciously, and shouted angrily, "Someone! ”
"Alas, Manchuria 1st Baturu? The enemy is one step ahead, not pounced, but called for reinforcements outside the house? ”
Yuan Ji shook his head in disappointment, and sighed with his hand, "Aobai, you are old, you call someone, you just force me to take out the holy decree in my sleeve, and it is the emperor who kills you." It was a death of one person, and all of them were loyal, so why bother to behead all the doors? ”
“… Namouf came in. Ao Bai shouted again with red eyes.
Yuanji turned sideways to the window and waved his hand to the guards who followed, signaling that it was okay.
"Amma."
Namufu was startled as soon as he entered the door, looking at Bambulshan who was lying in Aobai's arms with a knife in his chest, his eyes were even more eyeballed, and his voice trembled and shouted, "Bambulshan? ”
"Namuffo, carry Bambulshan to the outhouse, and then you go out."
Ao Bai handed over Bamburshan's body to Namufu to support, and then stood up, staring at Namufu with his chest heaving, and said word by word, "No matter what happens in the mansion today, you have to keep Jiubeizi safe out of the mansion, understand?" ”
"Ming... Got it. Namufu put his arm on Bamburshan's shoulders with a look of ignorance.
"Alright, you go out." Aobai's mind was also messed up, and he didn't say much, and waved his hand irritably, letting Namufu go out.
"Wait, you Ama gave me this knife, don't let Bamburshan take it away."
Motoji leaned over and pulled the pillow on the bed, walked over to Namufu, threw the pillow at Bambulshan's chest with the knife in it, and then stepped on the pillow with his foot, and pulled out the knife diagonally.
First, he wiped the blood on the knife on the pillow, and then instructed Namufu, who looked confused, "Press the pillow, so as not to spray your blood." ”
The dazed Namoufo nodded in a trance, grabbed the pillow pressed against his chest from behind Bamburshan, and retreated out in a daze with the corpse until he left the house, sleepwalking all the way.
