Chapter 200, there is not even a sound of fighting
ββ¦β¦ My lord, it's time to get up. β
As the commander of Handzhou, Shang Shu did not have the habit of getting up early, and it was not until the third pole of the sun that he tossed and turned in the delicate comfort of Yingxiu.
There is no fragrance of wild flowers in the house, and the wife is not as good as a concubine, and the concubine is not as good as stealing.
Shang Shu's trip to the capital this time was just a routine debriefing, and he still had to return to Handzhou after the debriefing, so Shang Shu did not bring his wife and children with him, but chose to go on the road "alone". Of course, there will be no shortage of women along the way in business, for example, Yingxiu, who is changing clothes for business, is the fifth aunt of Jizhou Xuezheng Liyu.
Before becoming Liyu's fifth aunt, Yingxiu was just a girl in a county below Jizhou, not only very experienced in how to please men, but also very excited about business.
Although Shangshu also found other women to try it along the way, only Yingxiu was the only one who could keep Shangshu's side until now.
After finishing freshening up, Young-so helped Shang Ju out of the house and prepared to go to the outhouse for dinner, not caring at all if the intimate relationship between the two would fall into the eyes of others. Because Li Yu was able to give Yingxiu to Shangshu to play with, he already had the intention of flattering. Li Yu is not afraid of being ugly, how can Yingxiu, who was once a girl, be afraid.
"My lord, it's not good."
Seeing Yingxiu helping Shang Shu to the outhouse, Shang You, who was anxiously circling in the house, rushed up and screamed.
"Huh?"
Although he was dissatisfied with Shang You's unfortunate words when he opened his mouth, when he noticed Shang You's frightened face, and Shang Quanzhong, who was standing up from the table, was also full of ashes, Shang Shu's face sank and said, "What's wrong?" β
If a girl wants to be well-behaved and leave more guests, the most important thing is to know how to observe words and colors.
Although I don't know what happened, from the faces of Shang You and Shang Quanzhong, Yingxiu also knew that something big must have happened, and this big thing was something that no one else knew, otherwise the two of them would not have heard any movement all the way to the outhouse.
Knowing that Shangshu had something to say, Yingxiu didn't say anything, so he quietly exited the house after letting go of Shangshu, and even helped a few people close the door of the outhouse.
When Yingxiu left, Shang Quanzhong said: "My lord, it's not good, the people who Shang You called to kill the Min family yesterday are all dead." β
"What do you mean that the people who killed the people of the Min family are dead? Is it the Min family who died? Or ......"
His face sank, and although he couldn't believe what he heard, Shang Shu still asked.
Following Shang Shu to the table, Shang You said in a trembling voice: "Master, it's useless to be a villain." The villain called Xu Qi and them to kill the two subordinates of the Min family yesterday according to the master's orders, thinking that they would do it last night, but I didn't expect that Xu Qi's people had not been seen last night, but this morning the villain found that they all died under the villain's bed. β
"You said they all died under your bed?"
His cheeks twitched twice, and a look of surprise flashed in Shang Shu's eyes.
Shang You trembled his lips and said: "Yes, master, the villain didn't see anyone under the bed when he got up in the third watch, but when he got up in the fifth watch, the villain found that there were a few more pairs of legs under the bed." After taking a closer look, it became clear that it was Xu Qi and a few people. Villain, villain ......"
When Shang You was trembling and speechless, Shang Shu's face sank and said, "Does anyone know about this?" β
"No, no one knows, the villain is afraid that the matter will get out, so he only sues the master."
I didn't see anyone in the third watch, and the fifth watch had a few more pairs of legs, even if Xu Qi and the others didn't die during the period from the third watch to the fifth watch, they must have been sent to the business tour room during this time. Regardless of whether the business tour slept enough to die or not, the person who did this kind of thing can be described as bold and careful.
If it is someone else who dies, without Shang Shu's instructions, Shang You and Shang Quanzhong will try to solve it themselves. But the dead were a few people who were going to do something to the Min family, and the two of them didn't dare to make their own decisions. And in order to conceal the news, Shang You and Shang Quanzhong didn't even dare to urge Shang Shu to get up, for fear of being seen by others. β¦,
The facts also proved that the two were worried, because there was no news of any dead people in the entire inn.
After settling down, Shang Shu was not too nervous, and took a few deep breaths before saying, "Master, have you seen their corpses?" How did they all die. β
"Lord Hui, it's all a one-hit kill, and it's all a frontal attack, it is estimated that he is a martial arts master."
As the commander of Handzhou, Shang Shu was originally a military attachΓ©, not only had he seen countless dead people, but Shang Quanzhong had also seen countless dead people under Shang Shu. Although Xu Qi and the others are not martial arts masters, they are also hard, but they didn't expect to be assassinated from the front, and they died silently, without even a sound of fighting, which is enough to explain the problem.
With a gloomy face, Shang Shu said, "What about those people in the Min family?" Didn't they all react? βγ
"They? β¦β¦ They're getting their bags ready to go! It is estimated that they are going to leave the inn now. β
While answering Shang Shu's question, Shang Quanzhong showed an unimaginable expression. Because, if this matter was done by the people in the Min Jiang clan's team, not only would they not be able to send the corpse over quietly, but they would probably not leave without seeking justice. But the fact is that the Min Jiang clan did not find the business skills to make trouble.
"And this kind of thing? Let's go out and have a look. β
Having heard the sound of cars and horses coming from outside the building, Shang Shu frowned and took the lead in walking outside the house.
The three of them came to the corridor outside, and when they looked down, they saw that the carriages in the Min Jiang clan were driving out of the inn one by one. Although they didn't know which carriage Min Jiang was sitting in, the entire convoy was not at all strange and wary, as if they didn't know that there were a few dead people in the room upstairs.
"Master, what do you say is the situation?" Deeply furrowed, Shang Shu was not in a hurry to make a statement.
Shang Quanzhong's hands rubbed against the corridor railing, and he said with a little nervousness: "There are only two possibilities, one is that the people in the Min Jiang clan's team attacked, in order not to cause a head-on conflict with the adults, they didn't publicize the matter. However, this possibility is extremely small, because if the Min Jiang clan team really has someone who can make this means, they will not be able to give up easily, at least they will ask the master for some compensation. β
"What about the second possibility?"
It is not uncommon for officials to fight each other in officialdom, and if an official has the upper hand, he will definitely fall into the enemy's grounds. Otherwise, sparing the enemy without a little reaction can only be a symbol of cowardice, and it will attract a fierce attack from the enemy.
An ordinary official may make such a low-level mistake, but the Min family and the Jiang family are both official eunuchs, and this kind of stupid situation will not occur at all, so Shang Shu also thinks it is unlikely.
But under Shang Shu's inquiry, Shang Quanzhong's face sank slightly: "The second possibility is that there are martial arts masters secretly protecting the Min Jiang clan, and the Min Jiang clan himself doesn't know this. In order not to let the Min Jiang clan notice, he covered up the news. β
"Is it really a martial arts master? It's really a martial arts master, why don't you just ...... to the master" Shang You said with a puzzled face.
"Because they really attacked the master, the Min Jiang clan can't get out of it, after all, everyone in the inn knows what the master has done to the Min Jiang clan these days."
Although Shang You quickly knew that he had said the wrong thing, Shang Quanzhong was obviously not afraid of saying the wrong thing. And as Shang Quanzhong's words fell, Shang Shu stopped talking. Because Shang Shu knows that in the midst of thousands of troops, he can not be afraid of martial arts masters, but if he is in such a small inn, a martial arts master can definitely decide many things.
With his fists squeezed heavily in his hands, Shang Shu turned around and walked into the house, never looking at the ......convoy leaving the inn again.
