Chapter 24: A Strange Murder
Almost at the same time as the fire started, Qi Yunxiang also rushed to Qi Lianting, a thin old man above the pyre.
Su Yuqi held a dagger hidden in his boots at the same time, and when the person arrived, he raised the knife and cut off the hemp rope tied to Qi Lianting's body.
The firewood was poured with oil, and in an instant, it had already burned into a huge fireball.
A few warriors who approached the pyre had already suffered, and the rest had taken refuge.
The crowd retreated one after another, but there were too many people today, and there was nowhere to retreat, and it became chaotic for a while.
After all, Su Yuqi was born in the military, and immediately raised the dagger in his hand and shouted: "The warrior returns home, and those who dare to take advantage of the chaos to escape will be killed!" The rest of the people retreated in an orderly manner! Onlookers slash! ”
lowered his voice: "Su Jia, go back and transfer troops to maintain order!" ”
Su Jia received the order, and walked away with his own strength and the courtyard wall of the Qi Mansion.
Everyone's attention was on the fire and Qi Lianting, but it was a dish, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Su Jia's back as he left.
Such light work is really rare in the world.
Qi Lianting was still going to make trouble, Qi Yunxiang carried his thin body and forcibly took him back to the house, the soldiers of the Qi Mansion rushed up and surrounded the warriors who fled one after another, and a few tried to take this opportunity to escape, and the soldiers fought, and finally died under the spears of the soldiers because their feet were tied.
Seeing this scene, Su Yuqi shouted: "Everyone obeys the order, only be captured alive, and no injuries are allowed!" The lives of these warriors are all the king's! ”
Even if it was the government soldiers of the Qi Mansion, they were also suppressed and had to obey orders.
The flames, the fleeing warriors, the soldiers with spears, the chaotic crowd, Su Yuqi bit her lip tightly, and her eyes burst out with a cold light.
Soon, the Su family army rushed over from four directions, some stayed on the periphery to evacuate the chaotic crowd, and the other part followed the high wall of Qi Mansion with Su Jia, and walked out of the main gate from the courtyard wall, replacing the soldiers of Qi Mansion and driving the martial fighters into the house.
Su Yuqi saw that the situation was already under control, and he wanted to walk towards the house, but his arm was suddenly grabbed, but when he saw it, it was the woman who had stopped the horse before.
"Lord Qi, you said that as long as the slave arrives first, you will let the slave's younger brother go!"
"Let's go in with this king first." Su Yuqi's expression was cold, but he did not refuse.
The woman followed behind tremblingly, closely following Su Yuqi's steps.
Qi Mansion is a place that often comes, Su Yuqi drove straight to the main hall with a light car, and her steps were extremely fast, and the woman trotted so that she did not fall.
The Qi family gathered in the main hall, Qi Lianting made a fuss, his mouth was foul, he jumped to his feet and shouted to find Su Yuqi to settle accounts, and was pressed to death on the Taishi chair by Qi Yunxiang.
When Su Yuqi entered the door, Qi Lianting was about to jump up again, and he couldn't stop scolding, but a powerful young man from the side branch of Qimen jumped up and grabbed Su Yuqi's neckline and roared: "Su Yuqi, don't deceive people too much!" Do you think there is no one in the Qi family? ”
Su Yuqi's eyes glanced at him fiercely, and the young man who was more than half a head taller was actually frightened. He grabbed the young man's wrist, but with a slight force, the young man squeaked and screamed in pain.
With a light throw, the young man was thrown to the ground.
"Isn't he just a lowly martial arts fighter, once a sparrow becomes a phoenix? What kind of skills are you capable of? ”
Relying on the strength of the crowd, and the advantage of the home field, some people shouted.
Qi Yunxiang walked in front of Su Cai and the others, his expression was extremely heavy, "It's because I don't govern the family strictly, which makes you laugh." Turning his head, he ordered: "Come on, put Qi Yunlin and Qi Zhi in the family prison and wait for disposal." ”
The two people he was talking about were the two who had just spoken and moved. Immediately, a government soldier escorted the two who were struggling to plead.
Qi Lianting said angrily: "Rebel! Su Xiaothief has already deceived you, do you still have to turn your elbow out? ”
Su Yuqi said coldly: "Uncle Qi is a little restless, everything has an effect, there must be a cause, does Uncle Qi just care about the effect and not ask the cause?" ”
Qi Yunxiang whispered: "Ah Qi, he is now unconscious, and it is useless for you to reason with him." Why don't you and Brother Caiye go back first, and when I appease his old man, I will personally send that cadre to your house. ”
Zuo clenched his fists: "I'm really sorry today." ”
Su Yuqi naturally knew that if he was thinking about this at this time, he should quit this hall and leave King Qi's mansion to save some face for Qi Yunxiang and leave some time to deal with family affairs.
But in Su Yuqi's eyes, some things are more important at this time than a small friendship. Moreover, if Qi Yunxiang alienates his partners who grew up together because of such a trivial matter, he should not send the word "small".
"Uncle Qi misunderstood the little nephew so much, the little nephew should explain it clearly to Uncle Qi, lest Uncle Qi resent me because of today's events in the future."
"Aki, you ......"
"Yunxiang, do you think that I have been resented by Uncle Qi?"
"It's not ...... either"
"That's good." Su Yuqi glanced at the room full of Qi family descendants, "Yunxiang, there is no danger now, don't let everyone go back to suppress the shock?" ”
Qi Yunxiang glanced at Su Yuqi suspiciously, although he was suspicious, he still said: "There is nothing wrong here, let's all go back." ”
With such a big family and such a large population, it is natural that some people will have micro-words, but Qi Yunxiang's face is not very good-looking today, and those who have micro-words only dare to whisper behind their backs. A room full of people slowly withdrew and dispersed.
The idle people and others all dispersed, and Qi Lianting was still pressed in the Taishi's chair.
Qi Yunxiang looked at Su Yuqi for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Aqi, what do you want to do?" The tone was half helpless and half confused.
Su Yuqi avoided Qi Yunxiang's fierce gaze slightly, pursed the corners of his lips, and did not answer, for a moment, he walked in front of Qi Lianting, took a deep look, and said sincerely: "Uncle Qi, our Yushi people, the most important thing is integrity." The warriors of King Qi's Mansion are the bets that Yunxiang lost to me, and it is only natural for me to collect them. ”
After a pause, his voice changed: "However, if Uncle Qi doesn't want to hand over those martial fighters to his little nephew, he can send someone to talk to me, how can the little nephew not obey Uncle Qi's words?" Uncle Wang wants to threaten his life, but there is really no need. ”
Although Su Yuqi's words were soft, the sharp edge in his words was really not very good. Although Qi Lianting looked crazy on the outside, he had never stopped insulting, but the sharpness hidden in his eyes could not hide from Su Yuqi's eyes.
That's not the look that a foolish person should have.
"You hairy boy who hasn't grown all the hair, what kind of garlic are you and the old man putting here? Want the lives of more than a thousand warriors in King Qi's Mansion? Don't think that when the old man is old, he can't see what you are planning! ”
"Since Uncle Qi said so, then please tell Uncle Wang, what kind of calculation is the little nephew playing."
Su Yuqi was neither humble nor arrogant, standing proudly.
"Hmph, the martial artists of my Qi Palace, all of them are heroic, over the years, they have indeed won a lot of wealth for the palace, boy, are you looking red?"
Qi Lianting's gaze suddenly fell on Dish Ye, "The person next to you is Dish Ye who killed Kuizhi, right?" Good! Very good! He alone won the lives of all the martial artists in my Qi Palace! What a bargain you've made! ”
Finally brought the conversation to Kuiji.
Cai Ye's face was expressionless, and his voice was gentle: "Skills are not as good as people, I am willing to gamble and lose, Old Prince Qi is afraid that he is old and faint, and he has forgotten the rules of the martial arts arena, right?" ”
Cai Ye was ruthless, Qi Yunxiang was afraid that Qi Lianting would be even more angry, so he hurriedly said: "Father, life and death in the martial arts arena depend on strength, and on the gambling table, you are willing to gamble and lose, this is the rule." The rules are not to be broken, and you should know very well. ”
"The fault is with the son, it is the son who wants to win the 100,000 Su family army in Aqi's hands, so he gambled on the lives of all the martial artists in our house. It's none of Aki's business, you shouldn't blame Aki. ”
Qi Lianting hated the iron and said angrily: "Su Yuqi just wants to use the Su family army to lure you in!" You've been an official for a few years, so why can't you see through this trick! ”
Su Yuqi said: "Uncle Qi said this, forgive the little nephew for not understanding. What did I lure Yunxiang into? What's the plan? You can't put a trumped-up charge on your nephew's head. ”
Qi Lianting suddenly said: "Yunxiang, do you really have no doubts about Kuizhi's death?" ”
Not only Qi Yunxiang was stunned, but Su Yuqi and Cai Ye were also stunned.
Qi Lianting continued: "Kuiji was plotted by someone the day before the game and shot through the shoulder blade, didn't he go to report it to you? ”
"Nope." Qi Yunxiang frowned, "If I had known, my son would have naturally gone to discuss the postponement of the game, but Kuiji didn't come to tell me." ”
"Su Yuqi, don't you know? The old man has sent someone to your house to inform you, and you don't want to deny it! ”
"The little nephew has not been notified, who has been sent by Uncle Qi, but he can find that person to come out to confront him."
"The little guy who was waiting in front of me, Yunxiang, you called him."
Qi Yunxiang sent someone to the backyard Buddhist hall to find Hou Er, and the person who went put it back for a long time, but he came back in a panic, and knelt down when he entered the door: "It's not good, it's not good, Hou Er, Hou Er was ......"
"How's it going?" Qi Lianting's eyes widened.
Qi Yunxiang and Su Yuqi also frowned, feeling bad.
Fang ...... Just now, Su Jiajun fought through the backyard, and Hou Er went to question and stop him, but he was killed by Su Jiajun's people! ”
Qi Yunxiang immediately said: "This is absolutely impossible! ”
The Su family army is famous for its iron discipline, and will never kill indiscriminately without an order, Qi Yunxiang naturally knows it well.
"Son! You are still speaking for Su Yuqi, who is a wolf with ambition! Don't you want to think about it, this is clearly Su Yuqi killing people! ”
Qi Yunxiang glanced at Su Yuqi and immediately retorted: "This is absolutely impossible. I understand Aqi's character. ”
"It's hard to know people and faces, think about it, why did a person who never went to the martial arts arena and never gambled suddenly become interested in martial arts? And why do you make such a big bet when you first gamble? It's just because this person has already designed a set of meticulous plans, and the purpose is my Qi Mansion! ”
