Chapter 469: Murder
Cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths, this is the way chickens don't pee, each has its own way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The robbers who tied up Liujia Erlang did not play their own banner, but involved Fengzui Mountain, which is the most taboo.
It can be seen from here that the people who dare to do this are either strong dragons who are bigger than Fengzuishan, or newcomers who don't understand fart, and the latter is much more than the former.
"Young master, I found out, it was done by a group of bad gamblers."
The black and white forces of the Wu family began to investigate the matter with all their might, and their whereabouts were found in less than a day.
In the private room of Meiweixuan, Wu Xiaoming held a cup of tea, gently brushed the tea leaves with the tea lid, and said indifferently: "What's the matter?" β
"There is a gambler named Lai Pisan, who worked as a helper in the Liu family for a few days, and when he played money, he showed off the wealth of the Liu family with others. Gamblers, they all lose nine out of ten bets, and there are more bankrupts. When a few bad gamblers heard this, they asked Lai Pi San a few more questions, and treated the Liu family as a fat sheep. "The person who reported was the head of the casino, and he told the situation at that time as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Wu Xiaoming nodded slightly, the Liu family belongs to the nouveau riche, and their mentality has not changed, and there are not even a few maids who serve, let alone the family members in the nursing home.
There is a lot of money, few people, and no guards, this is not what a fat sheep is.
If it weren't for the good relationship between the two families, Master Wu couldn't help but send a few people to the Liu family.
There is no need for more, as long as ten bandits with Pu knives go down the mountain, the Liu family can be bulldozed overnight, and the silver that has been saved hard in the past few years will be used as a wedding dress.
In this world today, there are simply too many things like this that suddenly get rich and be wiped out overnight.
In normal homes, just like a few wealthy families in the town, they go out with a nursing home. The Liu family has this catastrophe, half of it is to return to heaven, half to itself, there is no such thing as this gang of bad gamblers, and there are other people who will do it.
"Let's go."
"Yes, young master."
......
"Brother two is good, it's not enough, five leaders, six, six, six..."
At night, in a desolate and ruined temple, there were bursts of laughter.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and no one guessed that there were dozens of horses galloping in the distance.
It is true that Fengzui Mountain is a den of bandits, but unlike ordinary bandits, they are more like ringing horses with a base.
It is this kind of cottage that comes and goes like the wind, and the soldiers are strong and strong, so that it can take root firmly on Fengzui Mountain and stand tall for decades.
"The less in charge is here." Approaching the ruined temple, there were mountain bandits who were watching, and they came out of the forest.
Wu Xiaoming sat on the tall horse, glanced at the lights in the broken temple, and said without looking back: "Get off the horse, rush in, if you resist, you will be killed." β
There were still a few hundred meters away from the broken temple, and the mountain bandits turned over and dismounted, grabbing their waist knives in their hands.
Fengzuishan is an old village, and the old village represents these people, each of whom is an expert, what to do, and there is a set of rules in the cottage.
Seven or eight bandits walked in front, ten followed, and the rest formed an encirclement.
Almost at the moment when the ruined temple was surrounded, the mountain bandits who took the lead kicked open the gate, and more than a dozen people rushed up.
"Who?"
"Copy guys, we... Yes! β
After kicking open the door, it only took a few breaths before and after, and a few screams came from inside.
Under the protection of the two small leaders, Wu Xiaoming turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the ruined temple.
When they arrived at the broken surface, they saw three corpses lying on the ground, and two frightened gamblers knelt on the ground honestly.
Looking inside, where the statue of the god was placed in the ruined temple, the statue had disappeared, and a scholar in green clothes was gagged, and was lying there whining and screaming something.
"Second uncle, don't be afraid, brother-in-law, I'm here to save you." The mountain bandit with the knife got out of the way, and Wu Xiaoming walked in with a smile on his face.
Seeing Wu Xiaoming, Liu Jiaerlang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally stopped screaming.
He was frightened just now, only to see more than a dozen murderers rushing in after kicking the door open, and slashing the kidnappers to the ground with a few swipes.
Erlang thought that he was going to be finished, but fortunately, it was the peak that turned around, and the moment he saw Wu Xiaoming, he knew that his life was saved.
"Second uncle, they didn't bully you, did they?" Wu Xiaoming walked up and untied the rope that tied Liu Nan.
The Liu family has four boys and three girls, and the names of the four sons are very interesting, namely Zhi, Difficult, Xing, and Yi.
Erlang's name is called Liu Nan, and he is the number one reading seed of the old Liu family, and he is more valued than Dalang who opened a teahouse.
"They didn't bully me, they just didn't give me food, and I didn't eat for a day and a night." Liu Nan tore off the rag in his mouth, and when he saw Wu Xiaoming, it was like seeing the backbone of the main heart, and he burst into tears for a while.
Wu Xiaoming waved his hand, and while motioning to bring the kidnapper's wine and meat to Erlang to eat, he asked, "There are two people left, what are you going to do?" β
Liu Nan's eyes flickered, he looked at the two kidnappers, then looked at the corpses on the ground, and whispered: "I won't tell you, I'm a Xiucai, and I will take the test to make a name for myself in the future, I'm afraid it's not good for this matter to get out." β
It's not good to spread it, so what should I do, kill people and kill people.
Wu Xiaoming looked at Liu Nan with deep meaning, and sure enough, those who move their mouths can kill more than those who move knives, this Liu Jiaerlang is a material that can be made.
As long as the five kidnappers are dead, and no one reports the incident, it will be over after a while, and there will be no way to mention the ugly thing that has been kidnapped.
"They're going to kill people, and we're fighting them!" The two kidnappers, who were kneeling on the ground, were not willing to wait for death.
The one who opened his mouth slammed headlong forward, trying to snatch the guard's waist knife.
In the next second, I saw a flash of the knife, and the leading brother suddenly fell to the ground, and half of his neck was cut off.
The other was smarter, and he didn't want to fight with others, so he ran directly to the window of the broken temple, and actually wanted to jump out of the window and escape.
"Whoosh..."
The idea is good, but unfortunately no matter how good the idea is, it is just a thought.
Hearing only a "whoosh", a feather arrow burst out, directly hitting the back of the man's heart.
The feathered arrow rushed forward with its body, and the arrow pierced through his chest, nailing the man directly to the wall, just a step away from the window.
"Hehe..."With a chuckle, Wu Xiaoming withdrew his right hand, holding a small crossbow in his hand.
I haven't killed anyone, of course it's a lie, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, how can you be a young master of Fengzui Mountain if you don't kill people.
When facing Yin Niang, he must deny it, this is something that doesn't need to be thought about.
This is not a deception, but a white lie, I believe that a smart person like Liu Jia Erlang will not talk much after going out.
"Second uncle, I have entrusted my father to go to Liu's house to give a dowry to Yinniang, and we will be a family in the future," after the killing, Wu Xiaoming still smiled undeservedly, and Liu Nan nodded again and again.
"A family, always a family." Liu is not a fool who can be admitted to Xiucai, and he is not a fool who studies hard, so he knows what to say.
Wu Xiaoming nodded slightly, withdrew the crossbow into his sleeve, and said, "Second uncle, let's go home now, don't let Yin Niang and them wait." β
After saying this, Wu Xiaoming and Erlang walked out, and no one looked at the corpse on the ground.
Outside, the two of them turned over and got on their horses, and after a while, they saw the fire rushing to the sky, and it was estimated that nothing would be left after the night.
Accompanied by a few guards, the two of them rode on horseback, talking and laughing along the way.
When he was almost close to Huaishu Village, Liu Nan's smile gradually faded, and he said sadly: "Alas, with my knowledge, the talent in the examination is over, and it depends on the examiner's mind if you want to be successful." Lu Tongju, who is in the state capital, is a protΓ©gΓ© of the imperial master, and it would be good if he could take this path. β
Lu Tongju is from the rank of Wupin, which is worse than the prefect of Wupin, but he is also an alternate member of the prefect.
The Wu family's backer in the state capital is this Lu Tong judge, and it is rumored that Lu Tong is going to be promoted, and he is likely to take over the position of the prefect in the next year.
"Second uncle, he is a caring person!" Wu Xiaoming knew that Liu Nan said this, and he meant to borrow a ladder to climb up, and it was likely that he would inquire about the relationship between the Wu family and Lu Tongju before coming back.
After all, the current Liu Nan is a showman, and this level is not enough to enter Lu Tongju's vision.
If no one recommends, I'm afraid that Liu Nan just wants to give gifts, and he can't enter the court, and it can be seen from here that Liu Nan really doesn't have the certainty of being promoted.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoming collected his thoughts and said: "If it is just a lift, it is to spend money to make up for the lack of officials, and at most go to the lower county to be a county order, and it is difficult to climb up." The family doesn't talk to the two families, you want to rely on the land to pass the judgment, I'm afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, and one person will not be satisfied, right? β
Taking the road of Lu Tongju, it is filial piety, and at most it is a lifting person.
Liu Nan is also shrewd when he looks at it, I'm afraid that Lu Tong's judgment is not the end, and the person he really wants to rely on should be the one in the court.
To be honest, Wu Xiaoming is not very optimistic about this road.
The Liu family has a thin foundation, and it is not a famous family, so it is difficult to say whether it can get someone to raise after spending 10,000 taels of silver.
Moreover, when it comes to Jinshi, it is not about spending money to make points, but you can really do it.
If you really spend money, there is no risk at all, and the salt merchants in Jiangnan and the miners in Shaanxi will not be in the middle of every household.
"Don't say whether it will work out or not, at least there is a thought. I met those people this time, and I can see them all, and that's what happens in people's lives, if I don't fight hard, I'm really unwilling! Liu Nan's tone was full of strong unwillingness, not a person who likes to be happy.
Wu Xiaoming didn't agree, just said vaguely, and asked him when he went back.
After all, Liu Nan's real level is that he is more than talented and dissatisfied.
He wanted to climb up, so he could only sharpen his head to bribe the examiner and send it to his hand to make a knife.
When today's son is mediocre, he can use silver to pay off his debts if he kills, but the matter of cheating in this exam is still not negotiable, and he is exiled for 3,000 li when he finds out.
Although the crime is not as good as the family, the Liu family Erlang, as Yin Niang's own brother, has to blame him if he really wants to go to this job.
