Chapter 714: Killing
As the banquet on Xu Kaishan's side ended, Lao Xu, who hadn't drunk much, was walking slowly on the way home, but after taking a few steps, he felt that the situation was not right, because there was no other sound nearby except for his footsteps.
Lao Xu looked up and found that a layer of white mist appeared in front of him at some point, and he could only see a distance of less than five meters outside the white fog at most, and then Lao Xu actually had a feeling of stepping into the wilderness and mountain forest.
This feeling shocked Lao Xu's heart, and he was about to say something, when he felt a snake coming from behind him and wrapping around his neck, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.
It wasn't until the next day that Xu Kaishan and the others heard the news of Lao Xu's death, and Lao Xu's death was quite weird, because he was hanged in front of the door.
It would have been better if it had been like this, but the most surprising thing was that the branch that had been used to hang him was a branch that had grown from the eyebrow of someone else's house.
Xu Kaishan, as Lao Xu's friend, was naturally invited to inquire, but they drank high yesterday, even Xu Kaishan didn't remember what Lao Xu said.
A friend said there, "This old Xu is always there and says, 'Has anything different happened recently?' Didn't he find something, sir? ”
At first, those poor people were very happy to hear the news, thinking that they had found a clue, but when they heard Lao Xu read it every day for the past two years, they lost interest.
In desperation, these poor people had to go to Lao Xu's house, and Xu Kaishan, as Lao Xu's friend, naturally took people over to have a look.
As a result, after entering the house, they were all stunned, they never thought that the old Xu family would be like this.
On the wall of Lao Xu's house, they saw many burned tortoise shells, and the results of divination were pasted on the side of each tortoise shell.
From the point of view of time, Lao Xu began divination about five years ago, in order to find a 'master'.
At first, his divination was not so smooth, and he would make mistakes from time to time, but as long as something happened, Lao Xu would compare things with the results of divination.
After a long time, it can be seen that the 'master' that Lao Xu is looking for is Xu Kaishan, but about two years ago, at a certain point in time, Lao Xu divination found that Xu Kaishan's luck had taken a big turn, and it seemed that his luck was directly cut in half.
It should be from that day on, Lao Xu began to say, 'Has anything different happened recently?' 'That's the case.
After that, Lao Xu tried to find a way to resolve it, but his ability did not reach the level he thought, so in the later stage, he spent almost every week there divination, trying to figure out what went wrong.
And the results of his divination were recorded, two years ago, his luck was directly broken in half, and then he slowly recovered but did not recover completely, and went to participate in the exam, although he got a small three yuan, but he lost his luck.
After getting the little three yuan, he didn't give back to his family, but instead took the family's money out, and he was slowly cutting off the luck of his family.
Xu Kaishan was in a cold sweat when he saw it one by one, and he even believed what Lao Xu said, but now that Lao Xu was dead, he didn't know where to start if he wanted to resolve all this.
At this time, one of Xu Kaishan's followers suddenly said: "According to Lao Xu's records, is there someone who counted Xiao Shixian two years ago, but Xiao Shixian escaped, plus Lao Xu has been protecting Xiao Shixian for the past two years, so Xiao Shixian became Xiao Sanyuan safely."
Now that person is going to do it again, in order to ensure success, he will kill Lao Xu first. ”
Hearing this, several messengers and Xu Kaishan nodded.
Seeing that everyone agreed with his idea, that person became even more proud, and he said with certainty: "If this is the case, then that person must have already started to do it, if you want to deal with Xiao Shixian, you must first let Xiao Shixian's family give up on him, this is actually not difficult to do, you must know that Xiao Shixian is actually the second son in the family."
As long as Xu Da opens his mouth, then Xiao Shixian will have a problem. ”
Thinking of this, Xu Kaishan seemed to think of something.
His expression made the messenger who was paying attention here and the scholar understand a lot, and the scholar even said, "Second Brother Xu, do you think of anything?" ”
"One thing, it seems that when I get money these days, I always meet my eldest brother." Xu Kaishan said with a frown.
"That's right, every time Second Brother Xu takes money, on the surface, it seems that he is taking the family's money, but in Xu Da's heart, this money is his, so if you take it more times, Xu Da will definitely have murderous intent towards Second Brother Xu."
Speaking of this, Shizi said with certainty, "Although he won't do anything to Second Brother Xu, as long as he kicks Second Brother Xu out of the house, you must know that Second Brother Xu will be eighteen years old next year." ”
Xu Kaishan naturally heard these words, and he nodded involuntarily, "That's right, my eldest brother must have been guided, no, I can't use the family's money recently." ”
"This is the right reason, in fact, we scholars, how can we use money to drink some wine." Several other literati also said.
Xu Kaishan nodded, then turned his head to a few people around him and said, "I want to go home first, I won't drink it today, and we will make an appointment tomorrow." ”
Several of the scribes also left, leaving only a few messengers there to continue to check the situation.
However, they never expected that early the next morning, someone came to report the case, and the scribe who gave Xu Kaishan an idea to analyze the situation yesterday died.
At this moment, the entire hornet's nest exploded, and all the literati in the entire Yu County took to the streets, trying to find out who was attacking the literati.
Of course, there are also some people who spontaneously joined Xu Kaishan's team, apparently saying that they came to protect Xu Kaishan, perhaps to avoid this trouble with Xu Kaishan's luck.
At the same time, the scribes around Xu Kaishan at the earliest also had their own careful thoughts, and one of them directly said that he was going to travel far away and left Yujun.
The rest of them were also a little far away from Xu Kaishan, which made Xu Kaishan quite dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything, he also saw that the death of Lao Xu and the literati was because the two of them came up with ideas for their own luck.
If this matter is not solved, there will be fewer and fewer people available around Xu Kaishan, and when there is no one around him, his dreams and everything for him will really be over.
For the sake of his dream, Xu Kaishan took the initiative for the first time and prepared to face a killing machine from nowhere.
