Chapter 93: Seeing Blood Seals the Throat
After listening to the description, Qi Heng never imagined that these murders would come from a woman.
In addition, Xu's as a water house helper, with the convenience of entering and exiting the front yard and backyard at night, can completely hide people's eyes and ears. When Liu Shangshu and the others fainted, Xu calculated the time to come to Yiyuan, and drove the waterwheel to the tree, lifted the person onto the roof of the car, and pretended to hang himself. ”
She told the story of the incident, and at the end, Liu Ruyan looked at Xu: "And the first thing that made Xiaodao suspicious of you was just because of the lingering spring rain recently, and the wheels of the waterwheel were too clean, and there was no mud print." But I don't want to, the extremes of things will be reversed. ”
When Liu Ruyan said this, what else did everyone not understand, the woman who was originally lying on the ground couldn't help but sneer, she raised her head, and she looked hideous like a life-seeking Shura.
"Kill my son, you all have to die!" She leaped to her feet, a pair of scissors drawn from her sleeve, and the white juice on them gave off a faint fragrance.
Bai Zhi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "It's arrow poison wood, and the knife edge is highly poisonous!" ”
Poison dart wood, also known as blood sealing throat, grows in the south, in addition to its medicinal value, its sap contains highly poisonous.
Xu Shi clenched the scissors, flew forward, and stabbed Chu Kun with the edge of the knife. She couldn't strike a blow, and swung her backhand at Jiang Wenzhuo nearby.
"Don't come here, you poisonous woman." Chu Kun was frightened, and seeing that the scissors were pierced again, he pulled Qi Heng over and blocked Qi Heng in front of him, "You are killing the lord by doing this, and you will commit a crime, which is a great rebellion!" ”
Xu's hair was messy, his eyes were full of hatred, and he was so rich that he wanted to devour Chu Kun alive. Her hand holding the iron scissors tightened and tightened, and finally stabbed Qi Heng as if she had made up her mind.
Qi Heng couldn't help but close his eyes, and when Chu Kun, who was hiding behind him, saw this, he immediately abandoned him and ran away.
The Xu clan ran straight to Chu Kun regardless of it, and roared hoarsely: "Dog officer! ”
Chu Kun was forced into a corner, he blocked between the Xu clan and the wall, his face turned pale, he arched his body and began to beg for mercy, how could he still have the majesty of his usual days: "Don't kill me, don't kill me......"
Xu raised his hand, and the edge of the knife fell sharply.
At the critical moment, she suddenly tightened her waist, and while being held by someone from behind, she received a blow to her ankle, and she heard a sound in the middle of the world.
"Quick, take the scissors!"
Liu Ruyan used skillful strength to easily unload her strength, Xu was forced to turn around and fall down, and the iron scissors came out of his hand and flew out on the ground.
As soon as Chu Kun escaped, he found that Xu had been successfully subdued by Liu Ruyan, his face was blue and white, and his eyes fell to the scissors not far away, and he grabbed it in his hand first: "Good you poisonous woman." ”
Xu roared at Chu Kun: "I, Xu Gui, will not let you go even if I turn into a ghost, Dog Officer!" ”
Chu Kun had a cold face, picked up the scissors and walked towards the woman, Bai Zhi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stopped between the two: "My lord, please calm your anger and listen to what she has to say." ”
Liu Ruyan also took a breath and persuaded loudly: "If you have something to say, you can say it." ”
She has not recovered from her old illness, and now her body is still weak, and she has tried her best to stabilize Xu.
"It's just a cheap slave, and what the official wants to do with it can't be left by others." Chu Kun said, raised his hand and stabbed down.
At this time, Xu Shi broke free with all her strength, and she slammed into Chu Kun's chest.
Chu Kun staggered back a few steps, only to feel that his internal organs were all knocked to the ground.
Xu was so fierce, she grabbed his throat with one hand, and then snatched the iron scissors in Chu Kun's hand. In front of the vengeful woman, Chu Kun was quickly defeated.
Liu Ruyan and Bai Zhi stood beside the two of them on the left and right, trying to pull them apart, but when Chu Kun struggled desperately, the knife edge suddenly slashed next to Liu Ruyan's palm.
The speed at which the knife cut down was extremely fast, so fast that Liu Ruyan did not notice the danger coming, and seeing the blood sealing the throat was extremely toxic, so strong that once it entered the wound, it would soon be poisoned and died.
At this moment, a bright blue corner flashed in front of Liu Ruyan, and she had to see it clearly, so she was protected by Shen Yanchu in her arms and turned around to dodge.
She poked her head out of his arms, realized that she had been rescued, and thanked her.
Shen Yanchu's eyebrows were lowered, and when he saw her in his arms, his lips were pale, and his body was obviously weak, but he was always in danger, which made him worry and fear. I wanted to keep her in my arms, but the daughter posture under the cover of the robe appeared in my mind, and the scene of last night seemed to be vivid, his face suddenly stiffened, his fingers trembled slightly, and he let go of Liu Ruyan.
Bai Zhi saw that she was fine, and she also hit several of Xu's key points in time, and in an instant, Xu fell to the ground like a force.
Jiang Wenzhuo didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly untied the rope on the waterwheel, tied the woman, and did all this before he asked: "We don't know you, why do you want to kill people without injustice or hatred?" ”
Xu snorted coldly and glared at Chu Kun, who was also in a mess: "At the foot of Yongshan Mountain ten years ago, did you remember a nine-year-old boy?" ”
Chu Kun was stunned.
At that time, he and Liu Shangshu were enshrined in Zhou Taizu, which coincided with the Dali State sending protons to Beijing, wanting to use the power of the Great Zhou to contain the increasingly powerful Tubo.
When Chu Kun learned that the abolished prince was just a real fool, he suddenly came up with a plan.
Chu Kun planned to find another child to pretend to be a Dali proton and teach him carefully, so that he could continue to obey orders after returning to Dali in the future.
In a village at the foot of the mountain, he finally found a boy of Proton's age and similar eyebrows and eyes, waiting for an opportunity to take him. Unexpectedly, the Cangying Sect would intervene in such a knot, and the true proton was nowhere to be found, so he simply made a mistake and let the boy get into the carriage and enter Bianjing directly.
Once gone, it is ten years.
Xu Shi looked at him coldly: "Presumably adults will not forget, a few months ago, the prince of Dali returned to the country at the edict, but he was buried halfway, and the so-called prince is clearly Song'er who the old slave has been looking for for ten years." ”
She propped herself up, her eyes full of grief: "You say, why did you snatch Song'er and make him the substitute ghost of Prince Dali." ”
Chu Kun looked at the woman in disbelief, this is a confidential matter, there are only a handful of people who know the inside story, where did she know about the slave in the deep house?
Chu Kun lowered his voice: "Ling Lang's death is not what Chu wants, but as a citizen of the Great Zhou, he should solve problems for the country and share worries for the court." ”
"Worry? Song'er was only nine years old when he left. Xu's eyes were half-closed, and a tear slipped down the cloudy corner of his eye.
Over the years, she still remembers what her son looked like when he was young.
"As officials of the court, you do not protect the people, but steal children, and in doing so, how is it like a thief? You keep saying that I am a poisonous woman, how do you know how hard I am looking for my son and the pain of losing my son! ”
Chu Kun looked at him dumbly, but heard her cry and said: "It's not the right time, and there is war every year." That year, the husband went out with the army, and as soon as he left, he was never heard from. Two years later, the old slave heard that the army would pass through Yongshan, so he entrusted Song'er to the care of the neighbors and traveled alone overnight. After coming to the barracks, the old slave asked someone to inquire about the whereabouts of his husband, but who knew that he had already died in Huangquan. ”
She burst into tears: "The peasant miscellaneous soldiers who were temporarily recruited by the husband and the district did not belong to the army, and they died in battle only in the wilderness of violent corpses. The old slave had no choice but to die and return to the village to pick up Song'er, but he never thought that Song'er was gone. ”
"I heard from the neighbors that Song'er disappeared while playing. Some people say that they fell into the water, and some people say that there are thieves who steal children in the village. The old slave searched day and night, and it took ten years to find it. ”
Xu Shi said more and more difficult: "Until the cold winter last year, the people of Wangfeng Tower suddenly found the old slave and said that they had found Song'er's whereabouts. After many years, when the old slave saw him again, he was no longer alive. ”
