Childe's Mansion!

Zhao Zheng, who had just come back, saw Zhao Zong, with Gan Hongchang and Hongliangyuan, two deputy commanders and a group of guards, standing in the compound.

Next to them, lay the bodies of the third deputy commander Ran Yuanfei and the three guards who were already cold.

There is also the corpse of a stranger with a blue face next to him!

Behind everyone, there were more than a dozen subordinates and maidservants hanging their heads, staggering to their knees, cold sweat wet the ground, and I don't know how long they knelt.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Zheng looked at the scene in front of him, a haze flashed on his face, and as for the little road next to him, he became gloomy after being stunned.

"Qi Yu Gongzizheng, these people are all eyeliners planted by outsiders, and their subordinates have asked the master behind them."

"As for Ran Yuanfei, he also asked Gongzi Zheng to forgive his sins, his subordinates were incompetent, and as soon as his subordinates appeared, he was wiped on his neck, and that person also committed suicide by taking poison!"

Wen Yan,

Zhao Zheng glanced at the small road next to him, and said lightly: "I'll leave it to you to deal with." ”

"No!"

Xiao Luzi's crisp and neutral voice was mixed with a chilling coldness, and as for Zhao Zheng, he went to the study alone,

On the other hand, Ji Kong also returned to his courtyard at this time, holding Yin Yi's Red Moon Sword, and concentrating on practicing that set of swordsmanship.

At this point,

The old eunuch Lin Yan hadn't come back yet, so Zhao Zheng had no choice but to continue to observe the set, and practiced the swordsmanship countless times in his mind.

Half an hour later,

Xiao Luzi entered the study in a cold sweat, and reported all those people to Zhao Zheng one by one.

The people behind those people are not only the princes of the dynasty, but also the old Qin nobles, and even two people who are suspected of being from a family.

However, their purpose is simple, that is, to pay attention to Zhao Zheng's usual every move, meeting guests and other trivial matters.

It can be learned from Zhao Zong that the three guards are different, they have no clear purpose, they can receive a lot of silver taels every month, if they can be used, someone will notify them.

After saying that,

Xiao Luzi lowered his eyes and whispered, "Childe, what should I do with these people?" ”

Zhao Zheng stood by the window, looked at Ji Kong, who was practicing swords in the distance, and said lightly: "What do you think?" ”

"Childe, the slave inquired that tomorrow Shen Yao will be punished with 'five punishments', so it is better to pull these subordinates and guards and relatives together to cut them down."

"Five punishments?"

Zhao Zheng was surprised when he heard this, and then smiled: "No wonder Wei Ran saw Gongzi Xian today, his state was a little wrong, so that's the case, just do what you say." ”

"No!"

Not long after Xiao Luzi left, Lin Yan came back with a bunch of bamboo pieces and handed them to Xiao Luzi and sent them into the study.

It's just that these words are said to be a long-lost vassal language, and there are many similarities with it, so some words can't determine the specific meaning.

The people in the palace were quite conscientious, and wrote the original characters of other countries and the corresponding vocabulary on the bamboo pieces one by one, so Zhao Zheng still needed to compare them carefully.

But even so, there are still a very small number of words that cannot be translated, and the people in the palace have gone out to find someone who knows how to do it.

unitary time,

Zhao Zheng, who had been busy for nearly two hours, was able to determine the correct word groups, and then looked at the lettering next to the carving, and he could roughly understand it.

This is the mental method corresponding to the sword technique!

"The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are contending, and the disorganized text is really painful, this is just one kind, if the words of the vassal states are gathered in one place, how complicated will it be?"

Zhao Zheng pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache: "I still can't translate it thoroughly, let's look at it like this first." ”

Although there are some text annotations missing, I have read it over and over again, and I have almost comprehended the culture that Zhao Zheng accepted when he dreamed of a thousand years.

Unconsciously,

Zhao Zheng was so engrossed that he forgot to eat dinner, and Xiaoluzi didn't dare to disturb, so he could only carefully light the oil lamp and go to the study to guard.

I don't know when,

Zhao Zheng actually fell asleep on the three stone slabs!

……

meanwhile

The Marquis' Mansion!

Three people dressed in miscellaneous costumes entered the deserted courtyard in the mansion like ghosts, without attracting the attention of the guards left behind.

soon

According to the old housekeeper's words, the three of them came to the outside of the stone gate, smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, and the three of them couldn't help frowning.

The leader carefully placed the box Wei Ran handed over to him on the ground, his muscles tensed, and his eyes exuded an indifferent cold light,

Staring at the stone gate in front of him, he said, "Things are delivered, I don't know what else to order?" ”

"The three of you don't have to be nervous, I have no ill will towards the three of you, I just need the three of you to do the old man a small favor."

"A little favor?"

The killer at the head frowned, and subconsciously asked: "The commission has been delivered, if there is a request, the price will be calculated separately." ”

"Ho ho ho ho ......"

The hoarse voice let out a sinister smile, and said lightly: "The price is easy to say, I don't know how much the lives of the three are worth?" ”

The faces of the three killers suddenly changed greatly, and they shouted angrily in unison: "Dare to fool us, look for death!" ”

but

Before the three of them could make a move, several cold rays flashed in front of their eyes in an instant, and the speed was so fast that even if they were in the innate realm, they couldn't see what it was.

Puff puff......

Several blood arrows spurted out, and the three of them smashed to the ground at the same time like soft-footed shrimps, scarlet blood flowing from their wrists and feet.

The blow just now,

They have already broken off their tendons and tendons!

meantime

The closed stone door also slowly opened, and a thin figure with a faceless face slowly walked out of the door.

Shrouded in darkness, the pair of cold, bloodthirsty, and cruel blood-colored eyes kept looking at the three killers, and then made a sound that made people's scalps tingle-

"Bloody and strong, a good sacrifice, this Wei Ran also made a bloody effort to deal with him, hehehe......"

Seeing this person,

The killer's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils instantly shrank into a vertical line, and he gasped and exclaimed, "Super first-class warlock Yin Yang family? ...... moving"

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Before the killer at the head finished speaking, three voices sounded at the same time, and the mouths that the three killers had just opened could no longer close.

"Hey...... In front of the old man, you don't even have a chance to commit suicide by taking poison. ”

With that hideous laugh,

The thin old man dragged the three of them into the stone gate one by one, and at this time the three of them saw clearly that there was a circular grinding disc with a diameter of about one zhang not far away.

It's full of weird, mixed runes!

And in the center of the grinding plate, there is a clay figure sitting on the plate, and the clay figure is also painted with runes!

Then

The old man opened the thing they had brought, took out the hair from it, and solemnly inserted it on the top of the clay figure's head.

The three killers were placed in a disc sitting position and placed around the grinding disc in the position of the three-talent array.

Then he took out three bamboo poles that were half a zhang long, thumb-thick, and hollow from front to back, and inserted a sharp corner into their hearts, drawing out the blood in their hearts.

As the hot blood of the three of them flowed into the rune grooves engraved on the grinding plate, and the old man's chanting,

A faint glow of blood appeared from the millstone, reflecting the clay figure in blood red!

meantime

A looming face appeared on the face of the clay figure, and if you looked closely, it was Zhao Zheng......
