Chapter 138: The Poor Killer
The man on the bed didn't speak, he sat cross-legged upright, his eyes drooping coldly, only letting his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, and he didn't pay any attention to the words of these prisoners.
The man knew that he couldn't escape, although this person didn't have any extra movements, but his body and physique looked like he was strong in martial arts, and he was afraid that once his person moved, he would be killed by a blow before he could resist. After calming down a little, he gave the people behind him a look and asked them not to move, but he turned his head and looked at the person on the bed fixedly, and the scene froze for a while.
However, there was soon a sound of footsteps outside, and the door was pushed open with a creak, and it was Mu Ruqing and Lu Gui who came in. Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er held hands, and the other hand kept rubbing their eyes, it seemed that they were called up when they were sleepy and asleep, with a confused face.
After they entered, another soldier came in and shouted: "Back to you, the rest of the people have also been captured and are tied up in the courtyard, please tell me what to do." ”
Lu Gui glanced at a few people in the room who were obviously taking the lead, and quietly ordered: "Don't kill them." ”
"Yes!" The soldier pushed out with his fists clenched, and then there were a few terrible screams in the courtyard, followed by the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and then it was calm again, as if the people in the courtyard were still asleep as if they were late at night, and there was no more sound.
A few people who were still in the room heard the sound of the tragic death of their companions, and they all trembled like chaff, and the man who took the lead was also in a cold sweat, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold, and he looked up and looked around, knowing that he was afraid that he would have to explain here today.
Lu Gui nodded, knowing that this killing rod had already played the expected role, he walked to the bed and sat down, the person on the bed got up respectfully and stepped aside, the others stood in front of the screen, and the maid who knew how to read the eyes had already moved a stool for them to sit down.
"What's your name?" Lu Gui opened his mouth without being salty, as if he was chatting, and there was no anger or excitement at all that he was almost assassinated.
The man who took the lead was a little surprised, he didn't expect him to give such a big intimidation but asked such a meaningless sentence, anyway, it is impossible for them to get out alive today, is it worth asking a dead man's name?
But it didn't matter what he thought in his heart, he still answered honestly with knowledge of current affairs: "Wang San." ”
"Where?"
"Maqiao people."
"Your family must be all right? Why don't you invite you to have a meal and talk about how to solve things. Lu Gui tilted his head, and immediately a soldier was going out to do it.
"Don't! Wait a minute, we... We don't have family, it's all bandits living in the nearby mountains! You don't have to go to great lengths to do this, you want to kill or rush at me! Wang San closed his eyes suddenly, and then the whole person rushed forward, as if he was about to break the net.
"Then what are you so excited about, you don't have a family, are you still afraid that we will investigate? When you find your parents, relatives, wives and children, don't you recognize them? Amusing. Ruan Mianmian sneered, his sleepy eyes finally opened a little, and his mouth was not idle, he took out a handful of melon seeds from his purse and knocked them on.
Wang San was still a rough man after all, and he was speechless by these words, so he could only stare at Ruan Mianmian viciously, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to tear her flesh.
Seeing Wang San pounce forward half a step, Lu Gui raised his slender legs, aimed at his shoulder and kicked him back, "Say, who instructed him." ”
"I said, can you spare our lives?" Wang San was kicked to the point of blood surging, only to feel a fishy sweetness in his throat, but he forced himself to swallow it, his mind was crazy calculating the current situation, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart to live, after all, although the man gave a lot of treasures, he couldn't exchange it for his own life and his family, and he was not a dead soldier when he met in Pingshui, so he couldn't lose his life in vain.
Lu Gui touched his chin: "That's a good question, in fact, we didn't plan to kill you." ”
"Those people outside..."Wang San didn't believe what he said, just now he saw with his own eyes the indifference and disdain that Lu Gui ordered.
"They are different from you, they are abandoned, they don't have information in their hands that can be exchanged for their lives, and naturally they don't deserve such a good opportunity, you still think about whether to seize the opportunity." Lu Gui raised his hand, and someone outside came in and replied: "Lord Wang, after searching their bodies, I found that they were all wearing the same token, please take a look." ”
"Are you the prince?" Wang San was really frightened by Lu Gui's identity now, and at the same time, he felt that this matter was by no means so simple. When the man came here, he just said that the county lord who lived here was not favored, and he wanted to send it to Mobei, so they dared to take such a risk to come over and take a dip in the fragrance, but if the prince also accompanied him... That means that the man is going to pave the way for the master behind him.
I had heard that the battle for power and status in the palace was inhumane, but I didn't want to be involved in the grass people, it was simply ten deaths, no, no matter what, I couldn't play any more thoughts, Wang San settled down and spoke directly: "I said that it was a young man who looked polite and white-faced to find us in the village, and asked us to come here to kill the nobles living in the courtyard, but we really don't know that you are the prince, otherwise even if you are killed, we will never agree." ”
"Oh? Do you know the identity of that man? Lu Gui raised his eyelids.
"He claimed that his master was also a prince, and brought us a box of gold ingots." Wang San broke out in a cold sweat, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt apprehensive.
"Hey, it's really this disgusting man, not to mention playing with women's scheming, he still stretches his hand so long to recuperate in the palace, he can really be angry with him wherever he goes." Liu Xin'er has a straightforward personality, she already looks down on King Qi, and she feels sick when she mentions him.
"Okay, take them down, put them in the wing room and wait for the dawn to be handed over to the yamen, after all, we are guests, it's not good to make our own decisions," Lu Gui nodded, and asked the soldiers to come and drag them down, "By the way, remember to tell the people in the yamen, I promised not to take their lives, don't judge too harshly." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Wang San had tears in his eyes, he finally saved his life, but he didn't expect that this prince should hate himself, but he still kept his promise and specially told him not to kill.
"You can also take a look, King Qi's subordinates are really smart this time." Lu Gui spread out his palm and showed the token in his hand to everyone.
In his hand is a small copper plaque in a boxy box, with the words "Anyang Houfu" engraved in Juanxiu's small characters, and a simple pot-shaped pattern representing hot pot on the corner.
"It's... No, my father is not such a person, he would never have anything to do with these people. Liu Xin'er saw at a glance that this was a special token in her mansion, and it was only issued to people in the mansion, but she didn't know why it was in the hands of these assassins, for fear that her good friends would doubt herself because of this, so she hurriedly defended.
"Don't worry, silly girl, I know Anyanghou's temperament best, we all know how close Anyanghou and we are, and we will never rashly doubt the people close to us." Mu Ruqing patted Liu Xin'er's shoulder to signal her to calm down.
"Actually, it's easy to figure out, this is just a fake blame made by King Qi's subordinates, the Marquis of Anyang has been doing business, and the personnel are mixed, and it is not difficult to make a few fake tokens, think about it, if we want to assassinate someone, will we put the token representing our identity on our body?" Jiang Xinyue also calmly analyzed.
"Alas, I thought they were smarter this time, but I didn't expect them to be so stupid, they are all clumsy methods that children don't want to use, and they are not enough to worry about." Zhu En turned his head and smiled, and then pulled Lu Gui up, "Let's go, we still have a scene to watch." ”
The others also came out of the room, and the guards were so neat that there was no trace of the yard, and even the floor had been scrubbed with water, like a brief drizzle on a spring day, and after a while there would be no trace.
"Did you catch it?" Ruan Mianmian was a little curious, and gently walked around the wet land, holding the hem of her skirt and quietly holding Liu Xin'er to follow them.
"It's all stupid, it's all stupid, how can a smart man go against us?" Liu Xin'er patted the back of her hand and spit out a few words lightly.
"That's right, they're all stupid."
When they arrived at the main entrance of the courtyard, it was brightly lit, and such a big thing happened in the courtyard, and these soldiers could not continue to sleep, so they spontaneously got up and gathered together, lit torches and lined up neatly, and there were several men in soldier clothes tied to the open space in front of them, and the others consciously kept their distance from them, as if they were afraid of being contaminated with something unlucky.
"County Lord, everyone is here, and there is no mistake or omission." Hayabusa and Wuyi on the side came out and returned to Ruan Mianmian, because they never showed their true faces in front of people, so they all wore black veils at this time, and their temperament was even more extraordinary and mysterious.
"Well done, what's the matter?" Ruan Mianmian nodded.
"I didn't confess, but I found evidence, and they all had hidden weapons on them that were easy to hide, and they have been searched." There was no pause, and it seemed that there was some guilt.
"Now that we have the evidence of connecting with foreign enemies, we will correct the law on the spot, and we don't have to wait for any confession." Ruan Mianmian closed her eyes, this was the first time she had given the order to kill, but she knew that since she was going to Mobei with the team all the way, there would be such a thing in the future, and it was better to be ruthless now than to be killed by a traitor in the future.
"Yes!" Wuyi and Hayato You knew Ruan Mianmian's temperament, so they didn't make a move on the spot, but signaled Ruan Mianmian and them to go back to the carriage first, unwilling to let them see such a scene with their own eyes.
Ruan Mianmian also understood, so he immediately pulled the others and turned around and walked in the direction of the carriage, as soon as he took a step, he heard a sneer behind him, and when he turned his head, a traitor kneeling on the ground opened his mouth, and there seemed to be something in his mouth, and then he saw a cold light burst out, shooting straight towards Ruan Mianmian's eyebrows, without a chance to think about it, everyone stood in place.
