Cao Jing's heart became more and more flustered, and he couldn't help but think of what he had secretly done for the prince all these years, could it be that Duanmu Qiu came for this? No, even if you want to take yourself, it won't be to let Duanmu Qiu take people, thinking of this, Cao Jing's heart slowed down a little.

"Since Lord Cao is sleepy, then Duanmu will tell Master Cao a story, I don't know if the Lord would like to hear it." Duanmu Qiu, who had a full view of Cao Jing's restless appearance, glanced at this servant of the ministry, and suddenly spoke.

In the face of this "Hades" taking the initiative to speak, Cao Jing stopped the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and the already flustered rat's eyes revealed a little joy, since Duanmu Qiu opened his mouth, naturally he would not come to capture himself, thinking about this, he hurriedly opened his mouth and responded: "Cao Mou listens."

Duanmu Qiu paced slowly, his eyes kept sweeping the frightened Cao Jing, walked to the table, sat down slowly, and actually picked up the tea cup that was still warm on the side, handed it to his mouth, and raised his hand to stop Cao Jing who wanted to get up and call his subordinates to change the hot water for himself.

Taking a sip, I felt that just this one could be exchanged for a tea soup that the poor people could eat for several months of silver, and began the "story" in my mouth.

"Once upon a time, there was a young man who was poor in his family since he was a child, but the young man worked hard, studied hard every day, and wanted to one day gain fame and change his fate.

Yu Guang handed it slightly, seeing that Cao Jing's eyes were full of doubts, Duanmu smiled rarely and continued to speak.

"After the war, the new dynasty was established, and the young man was lucky, and he survived the war, and looking at the devastation all over the ground, the young man secretly swore that if one day, he would be a good official and benefit the people."

"The sky pays off, the new dynasty Mingjun reopened the imperial examination, the young people are really in high school, and in the next few years, the officials are getting bigger and bigger, and the extravagant scenes they have seen are more and more, and the young people are beginning to be resentful, not resentful of their hard work as officials, but they only have these Xu Yulu, not resentful of their dedication to the people, but in exchange for these rich businessmen to live that luxurious life."

"Finally, one day, he sought a small official position for a merchant who had been begging him for silver money in exchange for status, and he was exchanged for piles of silver and gold, and from that moment on, he was completely conquered by the desire in his heart."

At this point, Duanmu Qiu put the teacup in his hand back on the table, his eyes were full of fierceness, and his tone was cold.

"From that day on, he had long forgotten his own wishes, and had forgotten the people who were born poor like him, and began to amass wealth on a large scale, and began to do the dirty business of selling lords and officials... But he has done too many bad things, so he is naturally worried that one day, the East Window incident will happen, so he started to think crookedly, all the way up, and finally instigated His Royal Highness the Prince..."

Looking at Cao Jing again, his face was already pale, and he no longer had the appearance of the previous servant, and at this moment he finally understood why the "Hades" came, and he trembled and wanted to get up, but his hands and feet could not give birth to a trace of strength.

This kind of appearance fell in Duanmu Qiu's eyes, and when he looked at Cao Jing at this moment, his eyes were already full of murderous intent.

Not wanting to sit still, Cao Jing didn't know where to give birth to the strength, and stood up, shouting with a little trembling: "Duanmuqiu, you dare to privately investigate officials, this is a major crime of extermination, I... I'm going to play to you, I... I want to see the Holy One, see... See the Prince!"

"Bang!" In the night outside the window, fireworks suddenly bloomed, which was extremely dazzling in the dark Jianglin City, and what was even more peculiar was that the fireworks did not dissipate, but condensed into the word "Qiyun" before slowly dissipating...

Glimpsing the fireworks signal, Duanmu Qiu ignored Cao Jing, who was pale, got up proudly, dusted off the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion, crossed the long knife at his waist, and spoke at Cao Jing.

"Lord Cao, didn't you ask Duanmu why he visited Cao's mansion at night? It's strange, I'm just telling the story, but you don't admit yourself, ridiculous, ridiculous... The hour has come."

Cao Jing's tied hair didn't know when, it had been scattered, maybe it was caused by the shooting of the right talent, but now no one cared, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Duanmu Qiu tremblingly, and said sharply: "You... What are you going to do, I... I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm a member of the court... How dare you mess around!"

Duanmu Qiu's eyes showed a little disdain, and he said coldly: "In the spirit of the Holy Lord's commandment, Cao Jing bewitched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sell his official position to collect money, and he did not repent, and he was in charge of the Nine Sects

Kill them immediately, raze the three tribes, and admire this!"

Cao Jing opened his mouth wide, he couldn't believe his ears, even if he sold his official position to make money, how could he end up with immediate execution, and he still had to raze his own three clans, his eyes were full of despair, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "How is it possible, I... I don't believe it, Duanmu Qiu, you have a personal vendetta, you... You..."

In desperation, he remembered that there were still guards from the Yan family in his house, Yan Ruohai was the grandmaster of the guard, if he could call the children of the Yan family, he might be able to save his life, but he didn't have time to think about the reason, Cao Jing, who grabbed the straw, and continued to shout: "Lord Yan save me... Strict..."

As soon as the words came out, Cao Jing's desperate eyes reflected the figure of a person, and slowly paced in from outside the hall, it was the person he asked for help, and crawled to the ground with a rolling belt, dragging the hem of the Yan family's clothes, and begging: "Help me... Save..."

Before the words fell, he saw that the feet of the Yan family's disciples, who had been extremely polite to him for a few days, were dyed red, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the place where he came from was full of bloody footprints, and he hurriedly looked up and saw that blood was still dripping from the cheeks of this Yan family disciple.

It seemed that something warm was dripping on his cheeks, and he reached out blankly to wipe it away, but what fell into his eyes was a hand full of blood.

"Ahh

"Lord Duanmu, there are fifty-three people in the Cao Mansion, and all of them have been punished!" The children of the Yan family, in Cao Jing's frightened screams, bowed to Duanmu Qiu at his side to report.

Unexpectedly, the life-saving straw he was waiting for became a life-saving ghost on the side of the "Hades", Cao Jing was already unable to get up, so he could only keep crawling backwards with his hands on the ground...

"Well done, go to the outside of the mansion to guard well, anyone who dares to take a step close to the Cao Mansion will be killed!" Duanmu looked at Cao Jing, who was paralyzed on the ground, and commanded softly without any emotion.

"Yes!" The children of the Yan family turned around and walked out with their heads held high.

Turning his gaze to Cao Jing on the ground, Duanmu Qiu slowly spoke: "Lord Cao, don't worry, the Cao Mansion is all gone in their sleep, and there is no pain..."

Cao Jing still wanted to open his mouth to shout, but he didn't want to make any more noise, at this moment, outside the quiet window, there was a faint sound of screaming.

"I'll only ask once, and if Lord Cao answers honestly, he may be able to save his life." Duanmu Qiu saw Cao Jing's paralyzed appearance, there was no trace of sympathy in his eyes, and he still spoke indifferently.

With vitality, Cao Jing naturally didn't want to let go, his already paralyzed body seemed to be heavy or a little strength, and he crawled on the ground until Duanmu Qiu's feet, and couldn't stop begging: "Lord Duanmu spare my life, I am willing to give it with all my wealth..."

Kicking over Cao Jing, Duanmu Qiu seemed to dislike him for soiling his shoes, and took a step back: "Lord Cao, you should have a roster, among them, there are not only those businessmen who asked you to buy official records, but also the people whom Fan Youxiang ordered you to install, you... I can be impressed."

Where did Cao Jing dare to hide it, and hurriedly said, "Yes, there is such a roster, just... Right in my study, it's... It's all that damn Fan Mou, he instructed me to do this, and I asked Lord Duanmu to say a few kind words for me in front of the saint, Cao..."

"Master Cao, stop talking nonsense, take me to get it!" Duanmu Qiu impatiently interrupted Cao Jing's words of begging for mercy.

"Great... Please come with me, sir!" Cao Jing wanted to put the blame on Fan Mou, who had no evidence to die, but Duanmuqiu didn't buy it, so he could only take Duanmuqiu to the study to get the register.

Before leaving the main hall, the scene in front of him almost made Cao Jing faint on the spot, where is this still his own hall and minister's mansion, it is more appropriate to say that it is hell on earth.

The people serving outside the house were already splashed with blood on the spot, and the smell of blood in the courtyard had already spread, and when I looked sideways, I could see that there seemed to be blood spilling out of the windows and doors of the courtyard at home...

The cold wind blew, Cao Jing stood unsteadily, crumbling, and the crotch was warm and cool...

Duanmu Qiu, who followed behind, looked at this dignified third-grade master, he was incontinent, and his eyes were extremely disgusted, but the thing had not yet arrived, so he could only cover his nose slightly, and stretched out his hand to pull out the knife and sheath on his waist, and at the moment when Cao Jing was about to fall to the ground, his body flashed, the knife entered the armpits of his arms, twisted slightly, lifted his whole person, and opened his mouth sharply.

"While I'm in the right mood, lead the way."

Although Cao Jing's legs were weak, the idea of survival still existed, so he opened his mouth to lead the way, until a secret compartment in the study, took out the roster wrapped in oil paper, and handed it to Duanmu Qiu tremblingly.

After taking the roster and thinking for a moment, Duanmuqiu opened the oiled paper bag, turned a few pages, and was sure that this was what he was looking for.

"Duanmu... My lord, the lower official has taken this thing according to your instructions, can you..." Cao Jing took advantage of Duanmuqiu to look through the roster, thinking that he had already followed his request, and immediately opened his mouth nervously, wanting Duanmuqiu to fulfill the contract.

But at the moment of opening, he saw the cold light in Duanmu Qiu's hand.

Until he saw this cold light clearly, Cao Jing finally understood the origin of Duanmu Qiu's name "Hades", I don't know when, Duanmu Qiu's face has been put on a terrifying mask, really like the king of the underworld Hades asking for his life, his eyes are dark, and he is no longer conscious.

Losing the blood gushing out of Cao Jing's corpse, Duanmu Qiu, who only showed his eyes outside, had no waves in his eyes, and gently took off the mask of the Hades who was staying on his face and threw it on the corpse on the ground. ap.

Under the night, I couldn't see Duanmu Qiu's expression clearly, but I saw the bloody back staring in the Cao Mansion, holding the roster in his hand, looking at it for a moment, turning his head to look at the word "Qi Yun" that gradually dissipated in the air, I don't know what I was thinking.

Xu is time has passed, a soft voice came steadily, seeing the corpse in the courtyard, without any waves, as if he was unwilling to step on the ground again, this person performed light skills until the study, his eyes skimmed over the corpse of Cao Jing on the ground, his expression was slightly relaxed, and he saw Duanmu Qiu looking back at the sky, and then whispered respectfully: "Lord Duanmu."

Pulled back to his thoughts by this person's call, Duanmu Qiu looked back slightly, saw the person coming, and immediately responded, "The matter has been done."

Seeing Duanmu Qiu speak, the vigilance in this person's eyes suddenly disappeared, and there was a bit of urging in respect: "Since Lord Duanmu has done it, let's go back and resume our lives as soon as possible."

Duanmu Qiu's eyes were cold, and he swept over this person's face, making the visitor feel a slight chill, and he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Duanmu Qiu's gaze.

After looking at it for a moment, Duanmu retracted the cold glow in his eyes, and said coldly: "If you make this great achievement, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds at that time, and you will have a share of the credit of Brother Yan."

"It's still Lord Duanmu who is properly deployed, and Yan is just pushing the boat down the river." The Yan family disciple bowed his head and replied respectfully.

Feeling the chill around him, the children of the Yan family breathed a sigh of relief, kept up with the pace of Duanmu Qiuzhi, and hurriedly walked out of Cao's mansion, when he opened the door of the mansion, he saw that outside Cao's mansion, there were already more than 100 nine-door guards standing outside the gate of the mansion in silence.

The children of the Yan family couldn't help but be shocked, Duanmu Qiu was only able to take over the Nine Gate Division for a few days, this group of Nine Gate guards had the same momentum as before, looking at Duanmu Qiu who was on the horse and leaving with an uncertain mood, and then looked back at the slowly closing gate of Cao Mansion, several Nine Gate guards had silently left the team and stood in front of the Cao Mansion Gate...
