Chapter 3: The Outlaws

The corpses in the Hou Mansion of Ning Yuan were all over the field, and the blood gathered into a small river and spread into a huge blood net inside and outside the Hou Mansion, and the thick smell of blood made the air warm and sticky.

Su Wenjing's disappearance made Zhuo Yinfeng anxious, and after two hours of chasing it out, the killers brought back only a piece of bloody clothes that they had picked up on the edge of the cliff. Cutting the grass and eradicating the root is an order from the prince, and now Su Wenjing's life and death are unknown, and Su Wenxi has no news, which means that he can't go back to return to his life.

"The entire Hou Mansion has been turned over several times, and there is no trace of Su Wenjing. It must have been someone from their house who secretly took away Su Wenjing while we weren't paying attention! ”

Chai Lie used his sword to flick the bloody clothes on the ground, his eyes were fierce, and the people who burned in the dark night didn't dare to take a second look, and the killers behind him lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe.

"Send someone to the bottom of the cliff to look for it, to see people alive, and to see corpses when you die!" Zhuo Yinfeng said with anger in his words, and he had lost confidence in Chai Lie, "Your Ice Imperial Gate poured out of the nest this time, and in the end, you still missed the most critical person, after you go back, I will see how you explain it?" ”

"How?" Chai Lie moved his lips and smiled coldly, for Zhuo Yinfeng's words passed through the hall like the wind without leaving a trace, "If I don't explain it well, Nangong Hou, will you be able to explain it?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhuo Yinfeng was stunned when he heard this, and his bloodshot eyes widened.

Chai Lie's Ice Imperial Gate is entangled with outlaws, strong in martial arts but ruthless, what he does is a scavenger, and he doesn't recognize money but people.

In the early years, he was troubled by the imperial court, and later after getting into a relationship with some powerful people in the court, he became a minions of the secret eunuchs of the powerful, and he was also given the name Bing Yumen, which specialized in killing people and exterminating the clan, among which he also did some things to create unjust, false and wrongful cases for political needs, and took the opportunity to eradicate the enemies of the political center.

And this time it was against Su Boyi, the head of the household department, and it was Zhuo Yinfeng who had been a brother and brother with him for many years, and if this Zhuo Yinfeng wanted to gain a foothold in the prince, he had to do the affairs of the Marquis of Ningyuan beautifully, and if he didn't do it well, he would naturally not be able to deal with it.

Someone in the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion escaped, and he was still Su Boyi's child, no matter how hard it was to say that this Zhuo Yinfeng was much more difficult to speak in front of the prince than Chai Lie.

Chai Lie just looked at Zhuo Yinfeng with a weird smile, and his words were not broken, Zhuo Yinfeng had naturally thought of this after being an official for many years. In order to curry favor with the crown prince, he became a person who betrayed his friends, not to mention that he also led people to destroy his family, which is the treachery referred to by Qianfu.

But he was born in a bitter cold, and he was able to do Dali Siqing all because of his own efforts, compared to the hereditary Su Boyi, he seemed so humble and pitiful. By chance, he made friends with Su Boyi, and the two became friends, and between countless conversations and laughs, there were many times when Zhuo Yinfeng's own laughter was filled with endless bitterness.

Why are some people born noble, and some people are so lowly, even if they do Dali Temple, what can they do, the bottom of the depressed stream is pine, and the seedlings are away from the mountain. His poor background has always been a shame and pain hidden in his heart. Zhuo Yinfeng is thinking about how to climb higher and how to go further, so that the power in his hands and the honor on his body make people forget his origin.

When the prince found him and wanted to frame Su Boyi with him for embezzling disaster relief money, he hesitated, but soon this hesitation was lured by the conditions given by the prince.

The bargaining chip given by the prince is: the position of the head of the household. If he can sit in that position, the official enters the third grade, and even in the early dynasty, he does not have to stand at the end, but ranks in the forefront, and can talk to the emperor, with such an honor, who will laugh at his background behind his back.

Now that he has taken the first step, he has done what he has lost his conscience, and there is no turning back, since the matter has been like this, and the person has been killed, he must get the position of the head of the household.

But Su Boyi's child in front of him is gone, the weeding and eradication that the prince wants cannot be completed, leaving behind a disaster, and the prince is not good at it, so the prince's trust in him will naturally be reduced.

Chai Lie watched Zhuo Yinfeng be forced into a cold sweat on his forehead when he weighed it, and the corners of his mouth raised proudly: "Lord Zhuo won't be scared!" ”

"It's all grasshoppers on a rope, some are a little miserable, some are lighter, it's better to think about how to hand over this errand if you have the heart to see who has a hard mouth here!" Zhuo Yinfeng pretended to be calm and smiled: "The best of both worlds is much better than losing both, isn't it?" ”

At this time, Su Wenxue, who was unconscious, just woke up again, looking at the bloody home and the father who was dying in front of him, she cried out "Daddy" sadly and then cried and fainted.

Chai Lie forgot to glance at Su Wenxue and said: "The only thing that can be sure in front of me is Su Boyi's youngest son Fu Xu, and it may be useful for Su Wenxue to keep her until Su Wenxi and Su Wenjing are not confirmed." ”

"Su Wenjing is still young, and he is not the most worried about this official, but the most worried about this official is Su Wenxi." Zhuo Yinfeng's face was worried, he had already heard of Chai Lie's power, but in the face of Su Wenxi, he still had no confidence in Chai Lie: "When will your people reply?" ”

"A Su Wenxi is worthy of your fear?" Chai Lie's face was displeased, and his thick knife eyebrows frowned to reveal a fierce look: "There will be a reply at dawn!" ”

"Then bring Su Wenxue back to the Ice Royal Gate first, if there is news that Su Wenxi and Su Wenjing are dead, send her to see her family, if there is really an accident, she will be a live bait." Zhuo Yinfeng pointed at Su Wenxue and said.

Hearing Zhuo Yinfeng talking to himself in a commanding tone, Chai Lie was even more displeased, biting his cheeks and not replying. There was a thick bloody atmosphere up and down the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and there were bloody corpses everywhere, and it was late at night when he stayed here to feel unlucky, and he didn't want to talk to Zhuo Yinfeng more. stepped forward and picked up Su Wenxue on the ground and walked out like catching a chicken.

And waited until the rooster crow broke at the Ice Royal Gate, and Zhuo Yinfeng and Chai Lie waited for the news.

The killers searched the cliff in the dark all night, and finally found only some wolf gnawing corpses and scattered children's clothes, and found nothing else to discover. And that child's clothes were Su Wenjing's, Zhuo Yinfeng had seen it before.

And Su Wenxi, who Zhuo Yinfeng cared about the most, was very good at martial arts, but he really couldn't resist the wheel battle of hundreds of people, and finally died in the fire with serious injuries. The killers who put out the fire also carried back only a charred corpse.

"Are you sure this is Su Wenxi?" A corpse that was almost charred to charcoal exuded a disgusting smell, Chai Lie asked with a frown.

Zhuo Yinfeng covered his nose and was silent, just staring at a jade ring on the corpse's hand, and said for a while: "This jade ring was given to him when he went out to study." ”

Worried that there was a sore pain between his eyebrows all night, Zhuo Yinfeng finally smiled and said, "This is Su Wenxi!" ”

With a "bang", Chai Lie unsheathed the long sword in his hand and pointed at Su Wenxue who was shrinking in the corner and said, "In this case, you can also send this girl to reunite with his family!" After speaking, he walked up with his sword, Su Wenxue's face had long been bloodless, and her blood-stained body trembled like chaff.

"Wait!" Zhuo Yinfeng grabbed Chai Lie and said, "Su Wenxue is not busy killing first!" ”
