Chapter 70: The End
Rui Wei probably hadn't seen me look murderous before, and shouted a little worriedly: "Senior brother! You ......"
I sighed, put down the dagger, and let go of the hand that grabbed Liu Qing, who was touching his neck and bending over and coughing, and it took a long time to recover.
I bent down and stretched out my hand to snatch the blood furnace in his hand into my arms, and said coldly to him: "Liu Qing, your father and son killed so many people in order to realize your dream of immortality, and they plan to kill us together, they are ruthless, and heaven will not tolerate it!" No matter how powerful you are, I'm sure someone will bring you to justice! ”
Rui Wei saw that I was still sane, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said to me, "Let's go, let's send him to the yamen!" ”
Liu Qing saw that he was alone, so he just bowed his head and was silent, and was taken out of the basement by our hands tied.
As I walked, I asked Wang Shaoting, "Why didn't you continue to pretend to be a corpse and come here?" ”
At the mention of this stubble, he wiped his face with his sleeve again, as if he was afraid that there would be any residue of the heavy color. At the same time, he said helplessly: "I'm just here to cooperate with you in acting, you're gone, why am I staying there?" Waiting for others to come and watch and demolish me! ”
Rui Wei said on the side: "Why don't you ask me how I got here?" ”
I deliberately put on a thoughtful expression and said, "Well, let me pinch my fingers and count...... Well, I guess I climbed into the tree in the yard and jumped in! ”
She was stunned for a moment and involuntarily asked, "How do you know?" ”
"Because I'm a god operator!" I'll be serious.
"Less pretending, say it quickly!" Seeing Rui Wei's meaning, he was about to reach out and pinch me, so I quickly said, "Okay, I said I'll say it, because I smell the fragrance on your body, when I was in that yard." ”
Rui Wei sniffed himself strangely and said, "I didn't bring rouge, where is the fragrance?" ”
As if to prevent me from coming up with any inappropriate remarks, Wang Shaoting on the side hurriedly said, "You forgot that he belongs to a dog." ”
Rui Wei covered his mouth and smiled, which was considered to be an endorsement of this answer.
I also laughed and said, "I'm wondering, how did you find me when you go around here?" ”
Wang Shaoting looked at the ground behind him and said, "Oh, see for yourself." ”
I looked back and saw that where I had walked, on the mud-paved ground, I could faintly see the shape of small plum blossoms. But if you don't go out of your way to find it, it is very inconspicuous at first glance.
I lifted my two feet and looked at them separately, and found that the sole of the shoe I was wearing on my right foot was a little special, and a very thin piece of iron was pasted on the original sole, on which was cast with a pattern of plum blossoms, and the edges of the pattern were so sharpened that everywhere I walked, such marks were left behind.
No wonder after buying these shoes, Rui Wei said that she wanted to keep them, it turned out that she was taking advantage of her hands and feet!
I gave them both a thumbs up and smiled, "Anyway, it's great that you're here!" ”
Rui worriedly responded: "Before we have alarmed their family, let's take him away quickly!" ”
At this time we had reached the door of the room above, and were about to open the door and go into the courtyard, when the door was slammed open, and two people broke in from the outside.
We were caught off guard, we were all startled, and when we looked at it, it was Liu Ding and his inseparable servant! Looking behind them, the courtyard was densely packed with family members, all with their swords unsheathed, ready for battle!
The situation suddenly changed, and the three of us immediately stood in a triangle, surrounded Liu Qing in the center, and shot with weapons, ready to fight with all our might.
When Liu Qing saw the reinforcements arriving, he was overjoyed, and he also straightened his neck and shouted: "It's a good time!" Kill them! Kill them all! ”
For a while, the atmosphere was tense like an arrow on the bow, and it was about to explode!
However, to the surprise of all of us, Liu Ding seemed to turn a deaf ear to his young master's call, and his eyes did not even look in our direction, but looked straight at the platform with red curtains in the middle of the hall.
"Liu Ding, you dead minion, what are you doing?!" Liu Qing scolded excitedly when he saw that he couldn't move others.
I glanced at Rui Wei and Wang Shaoting, meaning not to make a move for the time being, and wait and see what happens.
When Liu Ding heard the scolding, he was still indifferent, and walked towards the platform step by step with his little servant. walked up to him, slammed the curtain, and a coffin was revealed behind him!
I thought it was a little strange when I saw it, but I didn't have time to investigate it before I got hit by it, and I didn't expect it to be hidden.
Liu Ding was also stunned when he saw the coffin, and then stepped forward to push the lid of the coffin, but his hands were clearly trembling.
As soon as the lid of the coffin moved, a strong smell of corpses immediately filled the whole room, and I quickly covered my nose tightly, for fear of vomiting on the spot again.
Fortunately, he just glanced inside, but closed the coffin lid again, turned around and rushed towards Liu Qing, his expression was full of grief and indignation, his eyes were split, as if he was going to swallow him alive, so startled that the three of us quickly flashed a step to the side, and asked him to grab Liu Qing as a chest!
"Master, master, he's dead?" Liu Ding asked hoarsely.
Liu Qing may not have seen Liu Ding so excited, and he is no longer arrogant, he seems a little nervous, and stammers: "Yes...... So what? ”
Liu Ding pointed to the coffin and asked sharply, "He is also the one who was killed by the snake god, right?" You've been hiding from us for so long! ”
Liu Qing sneered: "Just because you deserve to question me like this? If he dies, I am the master of this family, and if you treat me like this now, I will first break you into pieces! ”
Hearing this conversation between them, I sighed silently in my heart, it seems that my previous premonition is true, the first person who was poisoned by the so-called snake god was the owner of this family, Master Liu, Liu Qing's father!
When Liu Ding heard this, his face suddenly turned like ashes, he let go of his hands, walked back to the coffin, knelt on his knees, leaned over and cried: "I'm sorry, master, I actually only know now that you have passed away...... I actually know now......" The little servant who had been standing behind him also fell to his knees, hiding his face and weeping.
When Liu Qing saw the performance of the two of them, he was embarrassed if he was slapped in the face, and he called him an "old guy", but he was so mourned by two subordinates, which made him suddenly angry and shouted: "Liu Ding, what are you pretending to be!" Don't come and untie me again, I don't know how to let you die! ”
Seeing that he seemed to rush over, I quickly restrained him, and then looked at the two faithful servants on the other side, witnessing their grief in silence.
After a while, they stood up and said to Liu Qing: "Liu Qing, you are wrong, you concealed the news of the master's death, and did not let him enter the ground for peace, which is a great rebellion, and you have nothing to do with the Liu family from now on!" ”
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment when he saw his righteous words, and then shouted even more angrily: "What did you say? How old are you, what right do you have to say that? ”
I saw Liu Ding reach into his arms, take out a neatly folded yellow handkerchief, carefully open it and read: "Yu is the foundation of the prosperous Liu family, and he goes all out to pay attention to it, seeking the way of immortality to protect his descendants, but if the success is not achieved and this body is dead, then the Liu family will be awarded the title of knight, and the house and family wealth will be entrusted to my son Liu Zhan for disposal." Liu Qing's son, the ambition of the wolf, has coveted my life for a long time, if Yu returns to old age safely, he can still give a thousand taels of gold, if he can't die well, he will be expelled, and he will be broken! ”
I don't understand this less common expression, but I understand the general meaning. Written on this yellow cloth is Master Liu's suicide note, which means that after his death, this family has nothing to do with Liu Qing.
Looking at Liu Qing's expression again, he obviously understood much more than me, so he shouted as if he was delirious again: "Nonsense, it's all nonsense!" The old guy only has one son, so it has nothing to do with me! This must be fake, it's nonsense! What Liu Zhan and who is Liu Zhan? ”
"I'm Liu Zhan." The voice seemed to come from underground, and Rui Wei and Wang Shaoting and I looked in all directions, but we didn't see anyone else.
But then, someone said in a very clear voice: "I am the only heir of the Liu family, Liu Zhan!" ”
This time, we finally identified the speaker, and it turned out to be the little maid behind Liu Ding who was talking!
This accident made everyone present stunned, and they were so surprised that they couldn't speak for a long time.
Since the time when he was in the inn before, this little guy has been following Liu Ding's ass, we just thought he brought a follower, but I didn't expect it to be a young master! But how could this happen?
Of course, Liu Qing was even more difficult to accept, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you Liu Ding's nephew? ”
Liu Zhan was not in a hurry, and calmly told his brother and us, the unexpected audience, about his tortuous life experience.
It turned out that Liu Zhan was the son of Master Liu's most beloved concubine, because Liu Qing's mother, that is, the eldest lady of Liu's mansion, was jealous by nature, after learning that the concubine was pregnant, in order to protect the mother and son, Master Liu lied that the concubine was expelled from the house, and then secretly arranged a place for her to live until Liu Zhan was born safely. I thought that the mother could take them back to the house logically with her son, but who knew that the concubine actually had a heavy postpartum hemorrhage, leaving the young Liu Zhan to go west.
The motherless child was so miserable, and in desperation, Master Liu could only hand over Liu Zhan to his most faithful old housekeeper Liu Ding to take care of, and when he was about ten years old, he entered Liu's Mansion as his nephew.
At that time, the relationship between Master Liu and Liu Qing was already quite tense because of their different views on longevity, and Master Liu knew that Liu Qing was eager for him to die early so that he could take over the Liu family's family business, and was worried that he would assassinate the killer, so he left a suicide note early and entrusted all the family business to his youngest son Liu Zhan, who he had always felt indebted.
Where can Liu Qing hear this, he has been roaring and retorting, Liu Zhan has no choice but to take out something from his arms, Liu Qing was so surprised when he saw this thing that he couldn't speak.
Let's take a look, it is a jade unicorn, evergreen, crystal clear, at a glance is made of high-grade jade.
"This was given by the first emperor when my grandfather was the king of the plains, and only the orthodox heirs of the Liu family are qualified to keep it, my father has already handed it over to me, what else do you have to say?"
