Chapter 444: Loufu Destroys the Gate

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the night is quiet, and people rest early on snowy nights.

The killer of the Nine Secluded Mansions, with a sword in his hand, jumped into the mansion.

Lao Hu, who was on vigil for the night, suddenly saw the black-clothed man who was holding a sword flying over the wall and breaking in, and in shock, he violently struck the gong on his hand:

"Murder! ……”

Lao Hu's beating, some people were still sleeping, but they woke up Mrs. Lou and several sons in their dreams.

Usually the watchman will only shout that there is a thief, but at this moment Lao Hu is shouting murder.

But Lao Hu's gong didn't sound a few times, and his neck was wiped off.

Mrs. Lou was awakened and thought that another killer had broken in.

Quickly getting up, the girls who were guarding her room heard the commotion outside and screamed.

Screams were heard outside, and when they were about to run out of the room to look, the Nightman had already killed them.

"Who are you?!" Mrs. Lou saw blood dripping from the sword, and expected that it would be difficult to escape the doom this time, "Help......"

"Say it! Have you ever told Gu Tingcheng what to say, what to give her? ”

The leader held his sword around her neck and asked.

"What...... Gu Qingcheng, the old body doesn't know......"

Mrs. Lou looked at the blood droplets, and her whole body trembled.

"Still pretending?!"

In the man's low voice, the killer killed all the girls.

Watching the tragic death of one girl after another, Mrs. Lou was frightened.

It took a long time to come back to my senses.

“…… What are you talking about...... Lord Anping, the old body did invite her to come to the mansion, but that's just ...... For the elderly. What is an old body...... I don't know......"

"You really didn't tell Gu Qingcheng anything?"

"Really...... There really isn't, where is the old body...... Do you know what? ”

Mrs. Lou's trembling words fell, and the killer's sword dragged it without mercy, erasing her neck.

In just an instant, everyone in Mrs. Lou's room died.

The sons of the Lou family also woke up from each room and courtyard, but they were all killed one by one, and their bodies were everywhere, staining the mansion with blood.

The man in black brought firewood again, lit a torch, and lit the building, and in an instant, the fire soared into the sky, and the building fell into a sea of fire.

The fire also affected the fish in the pond, and even the nearby houses were burned, and those who slept to death were engulfed in the fire.

Fortunately, the noise of the building has alarmed the neighbors, and those who woke up, they got up to escape the catastrophe, but the house must not be saved.

Neighbors wept and wailed while fighting the fire.

Lord Yoon Yang of Gyeonggi Prefecture and the general defending the city quickly came with officers and soldiers and officials in the morning, and everyone helped to put out the fire.

Although people tried their best to put out the fire, the fire was so strong that it could not be extinguished at all.

Gyeonggi Prefecture Yoon and General Fortress Defender can only evacuate the crowd to control the spread of the fire and prevent it from spreading.

Tuoba Jun and his entourage rushed to Mazi Street in a hurry, and the whole street was already full of people.

The neighbors wailed in pain because the building had burned down their houses.

There are also a few neighbors whose family members slept to death, and when the fire burned, they could not escape, and they were burned alive, and the family members were crying out in pain.

And more people, after lamenting the death of Lou Dasikong, were destroyed two years later, and even the huge mansion was burned to ashes.

I can't help but cry for Loufu.

It can be regarded as a large number of people, and the officers and soldiers and the people are united, and finally extinguish the fire spreading around.

Lord Yoon Yang of Gyeonggi Province ordered the officials to dig up the charred corpses and place them together.

Seeing that King Tuo Gaoyang was coming, he reported some useless situations to King Gaoyang as usual, and continued to deal with the scene.

Seeing a charred corpse, Gu Tingcheng was also so sad that he fell and cried bitterly.

If he hadn't come to secretly investigate the mansion, dozens of masters and servants of the mansion would not have died so miserably.

It also caused the surrounding people to suffer.

If they hadn't destroyed the explosion point of the Nine Hidden Underground Mansion tonight and had come to the Lou Mansion to investigate thoroughly, maybe the Lou family wouldn't have died under the knives of those murderers.

But things are so coincidental, there is only one night between the front and back feet, but she can't keep the mansion.

She couldn't tell that it was Mrs. Lou's body, so she had to weep and bow down silently to all the corpses.

Full of anger, he secretly swore that he must find out the crazy ghost king behind the scenes, and avenge the destruction of the door for the Loufu.

"It's hateful!"

Hated and angry, Tuoba kicked the burnt wood that was still smoking.

Then he said:

"It's only one step away, I may know the truth, but I didn't expect that the Nine Secluded Underground Mansion is really ruthless, not only destroyed the building, but also burned it to ashes, and now there is not even a clue!"

Zhan Ying and other guards were also disappointed.

Lord Yang took the servants to clean up the charred corpses in the building.

Some of the people who watched the excitement gradually left with sighs, but the neighbors who affected the pond fish still looked at their burned homes and wept bitterly.

The frightened neighbors in the neighborhood still gathered together in twos and threes, whispering.

Gu Qingcheng kept looking at the burned mansion, and suddenly said to Tuoba Jun:

"Let the onlookers go home, the neighbors who were burned nearby were all because I came to investigate the building, and even their houses were burned.

You ask them to take them back to Yixintang, settle down first, and we will pay for them to rebuild the house, and we must give them a home. ”

Tuoba Jun glanced at Zhan Ying, and Zhan Ying ordered the guards to take all the neighbors away to settle down.

Fortunately, the bamboo hut that Yixintang used to help refugees can still live in.

"Hurry up and let the guards cordon off this neighborhood so that no one can enter."

Gu Qingcheng whispered to Tuoba Jun again, and then instructed Zhan Ying and Ling Yun:

"Hurry up and find a digging tool that can dig up the earth."

Tuoba Jun knew that Gu Tingcheng was going to excavate the small Buddha hall of the building, and looked at her tacitly.

The guards went and cordoned off the entire street, not letting anyone in.

Zhan Ying and Ling Yun quickly found digging tools.

The building was in ruins, the house burned down and collapsed, and the original path could not be found at all.

If the entire building is excavated aimlessly, it is not easy.

But the location where the building once put the water tank can still be found.

Gu Tingcheng began to identify the position of the water tank, closed his eyes and recalled the direction of the study, and then asked people to move a way out of the fallen scorched wood wall.

With his memory, Gu Qingcheng didn't have to work hard, and found the Buddha hall, where Maitreya Buddha had already burned black and fell to the ground.

Gu Tingcheng saw Maitreya Buddha and said, "This is the small Buddha hall." ”

The guards removed the collapsed walls and beams of the temple and cleaned up all the debris on the ground.

The guards held torches and illuminated the dark place.

In fact, at this time, it is already the end of the day, and the sky is entangled between the bright and the unbright.

The whole ground, although it is a little scorched, looks like the whole ground is flat and flat, and it does not seem to have any mechanism, and it does not seem to be filled and repaired.

The ground here looks just as smooth and smooth.

If Lou Wangzhi really hid something here, then he must have renovated the ground of the entire Buddhist hall once, and he did not leave a trace.

If the ground was potholed, and there were obvious traces of old and new, so many people would have noticed it when so many people came to track it down.

Gu Qingcheng paced, imagining the position of Maitreya Buddha and the place of worship at that time.

She pointed to the place and said to the guards, "Dig from here, be careful." ”

Everyone looked at Gu Qingcheng, although they didn't know if they would find anything, but the wisdom and wisdom of the county lord of Anping was admired by everyone, so they dug carefully.

After a few strokes of the iron pickaxe, there was nothing unusual, and everyone was a little disappointed.

Gu Tingcheng said: "Keep digging, that Zen language must have a point." ”

When they continued to dig, they found that it was soft soil.

When digging a half-human-high hole, the iron pickaxe did not touch the dirt, but the sound of "bang" and the iron object.

Everyone was overjoyed, and then continued to dig, and sure enough, a large iron box was revealed.

Everyone was even more pleased, and Tuoba Jun was already excited.

They carefully dug out the box, which was large, heavy, and locked.

"Your Highness, be careful, I don't know if there will be any chance in the box." Zhan Ying said cautiously.

Tuoba Jun used the seven-star sword to cut the lock of the box, and he was so excited that he burst into tears, as if his father was about to avenge his grievances.

Almost tremblingly, he lifted the lid of the iron box, and there was a heavy camphor wood box inside.

When you open the iron box, you can smell the fragrance of camphor wood.

Lou Wangzhi is really careful, afraid that the iron box outside will be damp, and the inside is a camphor wood box that is antiseptic and insect-proof.

When the wooden box was opened, there was a whole box of thick ledgers, recording various accounts of the year.

In addition, there is a letterhead, a scroll, which is stamped with the seal of Lou Da Sikong himself.

Your Majesty:

The prince was greedy for a huge amount of money, and he was really wronged. The real account book, the guilty minister is hidden in this Buddha hall.

The criminal minister wronged the prince, it was really a last resort, and the criminal minister could only apologize to the prince with death, and only asked His Majesty to remember the innocence of his family and forgive them.

The sinner Lou looked at it and bowed again

"Father is really innocent!"

Tuoba Jun looked at Lou Wangzhi's recital, and was so excited that he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

His mouth trembled and shouted:

"Father...... You've finally got your hands on it! ”

Gu Qingcheng opened the letterhead, saw a ghost mask drawn on it, and glanced at Tuoba Jun:

Actually drew a ghost mask?

Sure enough, it's the ghost king?

There are a few small words next to the mask: day and night, house thieves are difficult to prevent.

In the middle is a seven-step poem by Cao Zhi:

Boiled beans for soup

Wet the juice

It burns under the kettle

Beans weep in the kettle

It is born from the same root

Why is he too anxious to fry each other

Gu Qingcheng frowned and muttered: "Day and night, is it difficult to prevent thieves?" ”

"It's the same root, why be too anxious to fry each other!" Tuoba Jun roared bitterly: "In this way, nine out of nine are Tuoba Yu!" ”

"Ouyang Shuo once pointed out that Tuoba Han did it, could it be...... Tuoba Han can't get out of it? Zhan Ying leaned over and groaned.

"But Tuoba Han was imprisoned, how did he come out and destroy the mansion?" Long Fei frowned and said, "Could it be that he can still control the people outside in the Dongping Palace?" ”

Gu Tingcheng remembered the ghost king he saw in the cold palace that day, and he loved and cared for him.

And Tuoba Han hated himself to the core, and it couldn't be that kind of attitude towards himself.

"No," Gu Qingcheng shook his head, "That ghost king will never be Tuoba Han. ”

Tuoba Jun also said coldly:

"Yes, that ghost king will not be Tuoba Han, it is very likely to be Tuoba Yu!

Although Lou Wangzhi didn't understand that the person behind the scenes was Tuoba Yu, he was recommended by Tuoba Yu a few years ago.

Therefore, Lou Da Sikong thanked him for his kindness, so he did not name and say that it was Tuoba Yu who framed his father.

Instead, it is hinted at by Cao Zhi's popular seven-step poem, alluding to their fratricidal rivalry! ”

Gu Qingcheng connected the ghost king's every move, but felt that it was not Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu doesn't call himself a little Allure, and his body shape is not like it.

"Tuoba Jun, I saw the ghost king in the cold palace that day, he doesn't really look like Tuoba Yu."

Gu Qingcheng groaned, the true identity of the ghost king seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.

It's just that it is related to the involvement of the ancestors, and there is no conclusive evidence, so she will not say it easily.

"Appearance and body shape, you can disguise!" Tuoba Jun was quite sure.

Maybe in his heart, he has always believed that Tuoba Yu did it.

Gu Qingcheng sighed heavily, and also said hatefully:

"Who the hell is this ghost king, why is he so ruthless, he doesn't even let go of the mansion, and he also affects the nearby neighborhood?!"

"No matter what, enter the palace to see the emperor's grandfather first, explain this matter to him, and immediately go to the underworld to catch ghosts!"

There was bloodthirsty killing in Tuoba's eyes.

After this toss, the sky was already dawning.

They didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately evacuated Mazi Street.

Take everything that has been excavated into the palace and present it to the emperor.

The emperor took refuge in the Wanshou Palace last night, and after knowing that the explosion point had been eliminated, he was relieved and returned to the imperial study.

Tuoba Jun and Gu Qingcheng came in, and the emperor retreated all the palace people.

"How about it, the explosion points under the Nine Hells Mansion have been destroyed?"

The emperor still had to further confirm the safety of the capital.

"According to the drawings, it was basically destroyed." "But after all, it was a map from many years ago, and it is unknown if there are any changes." ”

"You finally retreated with your whole body and evacuated the Nine Hidden Underground Mansion smoothly, but Grandpa Huang has been worried all night!"

The Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tuoba Jun then presented everything excavated from the building to the emperor.

Tuoba Tao looked at Lou Wangzhi's recital, and couldn't help crying sadly, and cried bitterly:

"Huang'er, it's my father who wronged you......"

Tuoba Jun handed the letterhead to the imperial grandfather again, and said sadly:

"Grandpa Huang, Lou Wangzhi was the big boss recommended by Tuoba Yu back then.

This is Lou Wangzhi's seven-step poem left by Cao Zhi, this seven-step poem is well-known, everyone in the world knows, this poem means that brothers cannibalize each other.

The person who wronged his father and poisoned his father must be Tuoba Yu! ”

Tuoba Jun is already angry at this moment, and he will no longer call Tuoba Yu the Eighth Emperor Uncle.

The emperor carefully read the seven-step poem, shook his head slightly, and sighed:

The meaning of the poem does refer to the fratricidal flesh and blood of brothers. I have so many princes, although Lou Wangzhi once recommended your Eighth Emperor Uncle, but he did not name him, saying that it was your Eighth Emperor Uncle.

Ouyang Shuo also pointed out that it was your Third Emperor Uncle who did it, and committed suicide in front of me.

I feel that the evidence is insufficient, otherwise, the imperial grandfather will not tolerate your third imperial uncle.

Just based on a seven-step poem, it is unconvincing to say that your Eighth Emperor Uncle framed and poisoned your father. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he pointed to the ghost mask and said, "Lou Wangzhi painted this ghost mask, referring to the ghost king?" ”

"Grandpa Huang, the meaning of Lou Wangzhi is that the ghost behind this curtain is this flesh and blood brother!"

Tuoba Jun was heartbroken.

"Your Eighth Emperor Uncle did recommend Lou Wangzhi, it seems that he is more suspicious, I have more than a dozen sons, and even those sons of the clan, who are brothers and blood brothers with your father and king."

Tuoba Tao said, and sighed again:

"In this way, everyone is suspicious, can you just kill all your imperial uncles based on suspicion?"

After a pause, Tuoba Tao said sadly:

"Your father was escorted back to Pingcheng for trial, but he was poisoned on the way.

I know that many people suspect that I poisoned my own prince.

Including you, Jun'er, didn't you suspect that it was the emperor's grandfather who poisoned your father? ”

Tuoba Jun did suspect that the imperial grandfather had poisoned his crown prince, his father.

Hearing the words of the imperial grandfather, he couldn't help but be stunned, and for a while, he was speechless. I want to talk about "Ethereal Alluring City" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
