Bo Heng and I were planning how to uproot this nest of snakes and rats. Thinking of Lingyang's fiefdom adjacent to Ji Lin, Bo Heng said that he had a deep relationship with Ji Lin since he was a child, and he wrote a letter to explain the situation to Ji Lin, asking him to send a team of garrison troops to help.

Bo Heng and I privately summoned Xing Daokui again, pretending to be completely ignorant of what he was doing, and lamented that Xing Daokui had empty ambitions, but he wanted to succumb to Xu Zitang.

And that Xing Daokui thinks very highly of himself, and I and Bo Heng's you will tell you everything about him. Xing Daokui also complained to us about his inopportune birth like pouring beans, and sighed for a long time.

I glanced at Bo Heng, and now I just need to add a handful of firewood. Xing Daokui was retained for dinner in every possible way, and he specially sent Cong Jian to the best restaurant in Lingyang to move in the singing troupe, and the sound of playing and singing resounded throughout the street.

After three rounds of drinking, Xing Daokui was already dizzy and drunk, and he didn't know where he was. I also continued to hold up the wine cup and salute each other: "Xing everyone, this palace and the king feel that it is too late to meet you, if we had come so early for so many years, now this Lingyang should be the grandest in your Xing family." ”

Xing Daokui was provoked by my words, grabbed the wine cup and stood up, and shouted indistinctly: "That Xu Zitang, what is it!" For so many years, I followed him in a low voice, not to have something to eat, but what did he do to me? ”

Bo Heng watched Xing Daokui gradually become drunk and lose his words, and he was about to achieve our goal. hurriedly comforted: "Xing everyone, don't be angry, now that I am here, then the salt mine in Lingyang still has to ask you to share my worries." ”

When Xing Daokui heard Bo Heng say this, his eyes burst out with greed. Hurriedly lay on the ground and gave me and Boheng a big salute.

I looked at Xing Daokui, who was like a toad underground, and I just thought it was very funny.

Xing Daokui couldn't hide his excitement, and his voice trembled and shouted: "The king and the princess are my reborn parents!" Reborn parents. Anything that needs a villain in the future, just say. ”

After saying that, he stood up slowly, pointed to the sky and said, "Even if it is up the knife mountain and the sea of fire, I will not hesitate to do it!" ”

A "Hongmen Banquet", I asked Cong Thorn to take Xing Daokui back, and specially ordered a team of people to follow with the gifts of rewards, and Xing Daokui's voice shouting Chitose could still be heard from afar.

In order to act in this play, I really poured myself a lot of wine. I was dizzy and wanted to get up, but I sat back in Bo Heng's arms.

Bo Heng was also full of alcohol, and his face was flushed. "Madame, are you drunk?"

I struggled to my feet again, and told the red to cook the decanting soup. Bo Heng looked at me with confused eyes, "Madame thinks this Xing Daokui will really stand with us so easily, it's just a drink." ”

I shook my head, "Even though Xing Daokui is vulgar, he also grew out of the human spirit pile." How could it be so easy to betray Xu Zitang. ”

"Oh? What does Madame think she is going to do next? Bo Heng asked.

I staggered out a pen and paper and handed it to Bo Heng. "Your Highness only needs to give half of the salt production that Xu Zitang currently has in his hands to Xing Daokui."

Bo Heng looked at me and wrote in disbelief. I looked at the contents of the paper with satisfaction, sent someone to Xing's house, and waited for good news.

Three days later, Ke Mo came to report, and the secret guard in charge of observing the Xing family said that Xing Daokui had a lot of friendship with our royal palace since the banquet that day, and he would be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

is even more wild when entertaining others, and it is uncertain whose world Lingyang will be in the future. After learning that half of Xu Zitang's salt production belonged to him, he was even more proud of his tail to the sky.

In the past, I went to Xu's house every day like a circle, but now I don't go. The secret guard monitoring the Xu family came to report, and Xu Zitang scolded Xing Daokui at home for being a dog who followed everyone he saw.

I nodded, and asked Kemo to continue to monitor the three and report anything unusual.

Bo Heng also told me that his subordinates came to report and found the master who had fabricated fake account books for Xu Zitang in the Xu Mansion back then, and he knew all about Xu Zitang's crimes. If this person testifies, we can nail Xu Zitang to death with a hammer.

I just live in the outskirts of Lingyang, and I discussed with Bo Heng and decided to go to him in person. Taking advantage of the night, Bo Heng and I went out of the city with an elite team and went straight to the outskirts of the city.

Bo Heng and I were dressed in black, blending in with the thick night. Lying in the grass, looking at a dilapidated thatched hut in front of him.

I disdain it in my heart, this Xu Zitang is not authentic, but he is helping you with things, and he really doesn't give anyone any benefit.

The bush thorns came back and informed that there was no danger in the vicinity. Then Bo Heng and I knocked on the rotten door.

A gray head poked out from behind the door, looking at us warily and asking who we were. Bo Heng ignored it, slammed open the door, and walked straight in.

The man staggered back and looked at the group. Hurriedly about to shout, Cong Thorn rushed forward with an arrow and held a knife against his throat. The man didn't dare to move for an instant, and his eyes turned straight and boneless.

"If you want to live, you have to cooperate. Got it? Bo Heng was a head taller than the man, and looked at him from the top of the ridge. A sense of oppression arose, and the man nodded knowingly.

Bo Heng and I naturally sat down at the table, and the thorns pressed the man to his knees before us.

"You are the former Master Feng of the Xu Mansion, right?" I said to the man with a smile.

The man nodded, "Yes, I am." ”

My smile deepened, and I looked him straight in the eye. That Master Feng was so weak that he didn't dare to look me in the eyes.

"Then you're really, so daring!" After that, I took out the bone knife and slapped it heavily on the table, so frightened that Master Feng shook directly.

Master Feng kowtowed repeatedly, "I really don't know anything, I really don't know anything." Please let me go, please. ”

Bo Heng couldn't help laughing, "We haven't asked anything, you don't know, it seems that you know a lot." ”

Master Feng raised his head and looked at us in confusion, "You... Aren't you from the Xu family? ”

I pulled out the bone knife, and the cold light shook over Master Feng's frightened expression. "Naturally not, but you are so afraid of the people of the Xu Mansion, what is the secret?"

Master Feng's eyes dodged, "I won't say it, you guys are dead of this heart." I can't betray the head of my family. ”

Bo Heng raised his eyebrows, "Oh? You treat him as an owner, and Xu Zitang treats you as if he were not even a dog. I've heard that Xu Zitang's beloved little poodle suddenly has meat to eat, what about you, living in this dilapidated house, what do you want? ”

Master Feng still turned his face away, as if he didn't pay attention to Bo Heng's sarcastic words. I continued to smile, "Feng Qi, he entered the Xu Mansion as a master at the age of twenty, and was expelled for theft before he was thirty. You did everything for Xu Zitang, but he abandoned you like a shoe. ”

"But even if he treats you like this, you are still loyal. It's because your wife and children in your hometown are under the control of Xu Zitang. With their lives as bargaining chips, you have to take risks for Xu Zitang. ”

I gently picked up Master Feng's face with the bone knife and continued to look directly into his dodging eyes.

"Pity you for ruining half of your life for Xu Zitang, but Xu Zitang didn't take care of your family as promised. In the middle of last month, your youngest son had a sudden high fever and the family did not even have money for medical treatment. ”

Master Feng's face changed, and I ignored it, put down the bone knife and continued.

"Your wife is kneeling outside the hospital in the heavy rain and begging, even though she is sick, she still can't do anything to watch her little son burn hot."

I feigned a sad face and sighed.

"It's a pity..."

My words were like knives poking at Master Feng's heart, and he finally became anxious. "It's a pity what, what's wrong with my inquiry, what's wrong with him!"

I sneered and put my hand on Bo Heng's shoulder. "It's a pity that I was rescued by this son, and now your wife and children are all fine."

Bo Heng took out the letter from Master Feng's wife from his arms and handed it to him.

Master Feng's hands trembled, and he was so angry that he saw that his wife had fallen into the hole against Xu Zitang in the letter, regardless of the accusations of the Feng family's life and death. muttered in his mouth: "I can't reunite with my family for him, but the family can live a little better..." He actually, he actually. ”

Bo Heng looked at Master Feng's appearance, his face was still cold and expressionless. Fingers tapped on the table again and again, "Feng Qi, now you have two paths. First, come with us, identify all Xu Zitang's crimes, and I will fight for you to reduce your culpability, saying that you were coerced by Xu Zitang as a last resort. ”

Bo Heng paused, leaned forward and approached Master Feng. "Second, I will kill you on the spot. Take your pick. ”

Master Feng glanced at me and Bo Heng with blank eyes, and straightened up and walked to the shrine. Pick up the three-faced god and hand it to Bo Heng, who took it with a puzzled face.

"What you want is nothing more than evidence of Xu Zitang's crimes. I'm not that stupid, and when I did all the bad things for him, I sealed part of the ledger in this idol before destroying it, so that one day I could leave a way out for myself. ”

Master Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But I make wedding dresses for others." ”

Bo Heng handed the idol to Cong Thorn to put it away, and waved his hand to signal Cong Thorn to take Master Feng away. Master Feng knelt down and kowtowed to Bo Heng.

"I have given you what I have, I don't know who you are, but I have only one request, please protect my family."

Bo Heng stretched out his hand to help Master Feng up, and solemnly informed him that his family had been arranged and was very safe.

Only then did Master Feng pat the dust on his trouser leg and walked out with us. I also let go of my heart, thinking that it went so smoothly today, I would go back and get a good night's sleep as soon as possible, and I would have to deal with Xu Zitang tomorrow.

opened the door, but saw Xu Zitang blocking the way with a team of people. Our people quickly drew their swords and lined up, all looking at Xu Zitang vigilantly.

Xu Zitang's face was gloomy, sitting on the horse and looking at me and Bo Heng, as well as Master Feng who was trembling behind him. It was as if he had just encountered such a casual opening when he was walking: "Yo, what a coincidence today, I'm here to see Feng Qi, why are the king and the princess also there." ”

I touched the bone knife at my waist and glanced at Xu Zitang, who was more than twice as large as us. Bo Heng's expression remained unchanged, and he still said lightly: "What, do you want to kill me?" ”

Xu Zitang laughed, "I originally thought that you were just full of food and boredom to come to Lingyang to see, many things can be done with one eye and one eye closed, why be so serious?" ”

Xu Zitang waved his hands as if he was helpless, and the sword he straddled on his horse glowed with cold light under the moonlight.

"I was willing to divide the oil and water of this salt tax with the king in two, as long as the king was vague about what everyone acquiesced to, wouldn't it be a win-win situation. I just don't understand, why do you have to be where you are today? ”

I looked at Xu Zitang's shameless appearance and remembered the tragic scars on Hu Yin's body. Anger straightened up, "What a win-win situation, what a tacit thing!" You have committed such a serious crime, how can you say it so easily? ”

Xu Zitang raised a good face again, "Oh, I said princess, don't be so big." Let's discuss everything, hand over Feng Qi, and I will escort you back to the house." ”

Bo Heng snorted coldly, protected me behind him, told Cong Thorn to protect his wife, and slowly drew his sword. "The guards listened to the order and took Xu Zitang. Rewards! ”

Xu Zitang's face changed, and he scolded for not knowing what to do. Then he drew his sword and pointed it at Bo Heng, and everyone poured out, moving quickly, and at first glance it was a well-trained soldier, not an ordinary family.

Bo Heng turned his head to look at me and motioned for me to take care of myself. rushed forward and fought with Xu Zitang.
