Chapter 149: The Death of a Stranger
Jiang Fuxiang heard this and stopped the carriage.
"Really? Is it because Fang just fought with the kid surnamed Yu and hurt somewhere? Jiang Fuxiang asked.
"No, no!" Zong Tao spoke in a lower voice.
"Really? I'll take a look. Jiang Fuxiang said and got into the carriage. Zong Tao was lying in the carriage at this time, and he couldn't even sit up.
"Poison, poison!" Zong Tao shouted.
When Jiang Fuxiang heard this, he suddenly showed a hideous face. "You think it's too late." Before he finished speaking, a dagger had already been inserted into Zong Tao's heart.
Zong Tao looked at Jiang Fuxiang with wide eyes in disbelief. "Why?"
Jiang Fuxiang sighed lightly and said, "Zong Tao." I can't be blamed for that. You can only blame the kid surnamed Yu. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have killed you. ”
Zong Tao seemed to suddenly understand something, and shouted to Jiang Fuxiang with wide eyes, "You, you want to deceive your father-in-law!" Kill me to blame Yu Ren. Yes, right! ”
Jiang Fuxiang sneered, "It's a pity, you know too late." After speaking, Jiang Fuxiang suddenly pushed the dagger forward fiercely. Zong Tao's eyes suddenly widened, and then he tilted his head and didn't move again.
Jiang Fuxiang looked at Zong Tao's corpse, suddenly pulled out the knife on the side, and slashed it fiercely on his arm. Blood immediately flowed from his arm to his body.
Jiang Fuxiang threw the sword out of the car, then sat back in his seat, and drove the carriage forward quickly.
When Jiang Fuxiang arrived at Pinghu City, Xu Xinsu and the others were still in the Li Mansion, and only Xu Hai had already gone back first.
Jiang Fuxiang entered the Li Mansion, and before he had time to bandage his wounds, he asked a servant to hurry up and report to Li Dan.
Li Dan couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Jiang Fuxiang covered in blood.
"What's wrong with you? What about Zong Tao? ”
Jiang Fuxiang said with a crying voice, "Zong Tao was killed by that kid!" ”
Li Dan shook his head. "No way. With Zong Tao's outstretched hand, I believe that no one in this world can kill him one-on-one. ”
"That kid is indeed not Zong Tao's opponent. However, he is too vicious. He actually poisoned Zong Tao. Then he killed Zong Tao. I saw that Zong Tao was poisoned, and I rushed up to stop it, but I couldn't beat that kid, and he cut my arm. Jiang Fuxiang said.
When Li Dan heard this, he couldn't help but be furious. "Someone, someone!"
Let's talk about Xu Xinsu. They were originally talking to Li Dan in the hall, talking about some other scenes. Li Dan also asked him about Li Ying's recent situation. While the two were talking, a servant called Li Dan out.
It's half a day. Xu Xinsu was also a little impatient waiting in the hall. At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the Li Mansion. Xu Xinsu was very puzzled, so he grabbed a servant of the Li Mansion and asked him what had happened.
"I heard that Young Master Zong Tao was killed. The master is entangled in the people and wants to avenge the young master Zong Tao! ”
Xu Xinsu was taken aback. "Xue Zongtao? Isn't he known as Dongying's first knife? How could someone suddenly kill someone. Who is so stakesome? ”
"I heard that it was a man named Yu Ren who killed Young Master Zong Tao with poison." The servant said and hurried away.
When Xu Xinsu heard this, his heart was shocked. Yu Ren actually killed Xue Zongtao? Xu Xinsu was shocked at first, but then he was happy. Because he knows the importance of this Xue Zongtao to Li Dan. Although Xue Zongtao is only particularly outstanding in martial arts. However, because he was still the son of an old man of Li Dan, he was recognized by Li Dan as a righteous son. Li Dan has always liked this righteous son, and in his mind, except for his daughter Li Ying, this Xue Zongtao has the heaviest weight.
Now, Yu Ren actually killed him. Then Li Dan is afraid that he will not forgive Yu Ren again in his life. This is equivalent to saying that the marriage between Yu Ren and Li Ying can be regarded as completely yellow.
In this way, won't this Yu Ren be their Xu family in the future. Xu Xinsu thought secretly in his heart.
However, although he was secretly happy in his heart, Xu Xinsu still knew very well the consequences of his eldest brother's anger. So, without saying a word, Xu Xinsu quietly left the Li Mansion with all his subordinates and hurried back to the port town.
And Yu Ren, who returned to the town first, was still at a loss about everything that happened in the Li Mansion. He was thinking about how to get the remaining boatload of cotton cloth out tomorrow in the room, and Xu Xinsu and they hurried back.
As soon as Xu Xinsu returned to the inn, he directly broke into Yu Ren's room.
"Nephew Yu Xian, you hurry up and leave Hirado."
Yu Ren was a little baffled. Although he actually wanted to return to China as soon as possible, Xu Xinsu's words made him brainless.
"Xue Zongtao is dead. They said you killed it. If you don't leave, I'm afraid it won't take half a day. My eldest brother will personally bring someone to arrest you. ”
Yu Ren still didn't understand. "Who is Xue Zongtao? I didn't kill anyone, did I? ”
"There's no time to explain it to you at this point. I've got three boats loaded with goods I bought from Hirado. You take these three boats right away. I let the third brother walk with you. I will be back in a few days. ”
At this time, Xu Hai also broke in. "Big brother, the ship is ready."
Xu Xinsu nodded. "Okay, you go first. When I dispose of the goods in my hand, I will load them up and go back. ”
In this way, Yu Ren was dragged onto the boat by Xu Hailian.
As soon as Xu Hai got on the boat, he hurriedly ordered the sailors to open their sails and sail the boat, as if someone was chasing them with a knife behind them.
"What's going on?" Yu Ren saw that Xu Hai was finally busy. The three ships also left the port one after another, and then asked.
Xu Hai saw that the ship had gone to sea, so he told Yu Ren roughly what they had heard in the Li Mansion, about Xue Zongtao's death, and the relationship between this person and the Li family.
"This Xue Zongtao's father once saved Li Dan. Therefore, when Xue's father died, Li Dan adopted Xue Zongtao at home. Originally, Li Dan wanted to match him with Li Ying. How can I bear the discord between the two personalities, and I don't deal with them well since I was a child. In addition, this Xue Zongtao is a martial arts idiot, but he has no interest in running a business at all. Li Dan saw this, so he gave up.
You think, such a person, how heavy is in his mind. But now he's dead. And they say you killed it! ”
"I didn't kill him. I really didn't kill. I was returning from Hirado Castle and met him outside the town. He didn't sign up for his surname, he just stopped me, didn't let me pass, and insisted that I compete with him.
I was forced to have no choice but to compare myself with him. But his kung fu is so good that I am no match for him at all. I attacked him ten times in a row, and he dissolved them all lightly, without even taking a step back. How could I have killed him? Yu Ren was not afraid of being embarrassed at this time, so he told the details of the competition with Xue Zongtao.
"They said you used poison and killed him." Xu Haidao.
"Who made the rumor?"
"Jiang Fuxiang."
Yu Ren shook his head. He knew almost nothing about the situation of the Li family in Hirado, so naturally he had never heard of this person's name.
He is an old man next to Li Dan, who followed Li Dan's father on the sea when he was a teenager, and it has been more than 30 years now. Now many of the affairs of the Li family are not handled by Li Dan personally, but most of them are handed over to this Jiang Fuxiang. ”
Yu Ren nodded. It seems that this person's status in the Li family is also extremely important. But he didn't seem to know this person, so why did he frame himself? Could it be that he also has a grudge against himself?
And this Xue Zongtao's martial arts are extremely harmful, how did he suddenly die of poisoning?
These questions puzzled Yu Ren.
Suddenly, Yu Ren slapped the side of the ship. "No, I can't go. If I were to leave, he would have thought I was absconding in fear of sin. That's even harder to explain. Third uncle, send me back! I'm going to wait here for them to come, and then I'm going to explain it to him." ”
Xu Hai waved his hand. "That's not going to work. Boss Li's temper, I know too well. He's in a rage at this point, and if you don't leave, there's a real chance he'll kill you. It's better to avoid it first, and when Boss Li's anger disappears in the future, you will find a chance to explain to him. ”
"However, if I leave today, everyone will decide that this Xue Zongtao was killed by me. How can I explain this in the future? No, I have to go back. Yu Ren said firmly.
