Chapter 268: Leaving the way back, Xu Jing ran for his life
LΓΌ Bu and Xue Meng took Hou Yinping to the palace, but Shen Ji and the other two officials had not returned.
After briefly asking Hou Yinping a few words, seeing that she denied it, Master Bao stood up and suddenly ordered Lu Bu, "Tang Zhuangshi hurried to Xu Jing's house, the official was worried that Shen Ji would miss his old feelings and would not be able to try his best to arrest him." β
Lu Bu was startled and quickly went out.
At this time, Shen Ji and the other two errand officers had already arrived at Xu Jing's house, but they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
In the courtyard, the maid named Ji'er was squatting in the corner crying, and the manservant named Dong Qian was standing there with a gloomy face.
In the courtyard, there were a few other people, all of whom Jill had invited to be in the courtyard on his own initiative, but these people also had gloomy faces, shaking their heads and sighing.
Shin Ji had a hunch that something was wrong.
Shen Ji and Dong Qian met, and thought that he introduced Dong Qian here.
Shen Ji leaned over and gently patted Dong Qiandi on the shoulder.
Seeing that it was Shen Ji, Dong Qian thought that he had come to invite Xu Jing back to the mansion to work, so he shook his head and said, "My wife has just passed away, and my lord is afraid that it will be difficult for him to return to the mansion today." β
Shen Ji had long known that Mrs. Xu was sick, but he didn't expect it to be so coincidental.
One of the officers saw that Shen Ji was a little embarrassed, so he came over and reminded him in a low voice, "The order of the adults is that no matter what happens, Xu Jing must be taken back." β
Shen Ji didn't move.
This pack of blackheads is really powerful, although he didn't say what would happen, but, seeing the situation in front of him, he obviously had already estimated this.
"You two wait here, and wait for the villain to go in first." Shinji said.
The officer also felt that it was a little unreasonable to arrest people at this time, so he nodded. However, he did not forget to remind Shen Ji: "Shen Bantou must not remember the feelings of the past, and everything is important in official affairs." β
"The villain understands." Shen Ji handed the chain in his hand to the messenger and walked slowly into the room.
There were only two people in the room, Xu Jing and his wife, to be exact, one person and one corpse.
Xu Jing was kneeling beside his wife's bed.
"Madame is going to be happy early, don't resent your husband, know the grievances in your heart for your husband, and hate that Hou Yinping is fierce, but I have no choice but to change, if Mrs. helps me become a parent in Chuzhou in the future, I will definitely build a tomb and erect a monument for Mrs. to show Mrs. Virtue during her lifetime."
At this time, this guy still wants to be able to become a court official.
Xu Jing stood up and covered his wife's quilt, still thinking about how to explain all this to Bao Zheng.
When he turned around, he suddenly saw Shen Ji standing behind him.
"Shen, Shen Bantou, you, how did you know that my wife passed away and came to the funeral so quickly?"
The corners of Shen Ji's mouth moved, and he didn't answer, but walked to the bed and bowed deeply to Mrs. Xu's corpse.
"Madame, don't think about what happened after death, Master Bao is now in the Chuzhou Mansion, everything has been revealed to the world, Madame just rest assured that she will go on the road."
Xu Jing's face changed abruptly.
"Shen Bantou, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Ji turned his head and looked at Xu Jing.
"Lord Xu, the matter between you and Mrs. Wei has been revealed, and Lord Bao ordered me to come and take you to the mansion to listen to the fate. The villain has been with you for many years, and I can't bear to put the shackles on you, so please don't embarrass the villain. β
According to Master Bao's instructions, he asked Shen Ji to only say that he was looking for Xu Jing to go to the government to discuss things, but Shen Ji saw that Mrs. Xu was dead, and he was angry, so he simply stopped hiding it.
Xu Jing shook a little.
"Shen and Shen must not be deceived by others, Mrs. Wei is my cousin-in-law, how could I do such a thing that is contrary to human morality?"
Shin Ji sneered.
"Master Wei always thought of you as his younger brother when he was alive, and he was very proud of your talents and learning in front of you in front of us. And you have done such a cheap and cruel thing, and now you can't deny it, so it's better to go back with the villain as soon as possible and meet Lord Bao to talk. β
Shen Ji knew that Xu Jing didn't know martial arts, and it wouldn't take any effort to catch him.
Xu Jing went limp.
Shenji reached out and pulled him up.
"When you want Hu Lai to kill Lord Wei, you wouldn't be so afraid, but when you killed Hu Lai, you were also extremely fierce, why did you suddenly become so timid now?"
Xu Jing's face was even paler than Mrs. Xu on the bed.
"Shen, Shen Bantou, can you let me say a word?"
Shen Ji let go of the hand that grabbed Xu Jing. 33
"If it's Mrs. Zun's matter, there is no need to tell you, the villain will remember Mrs. Shude before her death, and she will definitely present it to Mrs. Bao and bury Mrs. Shen Ji also thought that Xu Jing was not worried about Mrs. Xu.
Xu Jing has calmed down a lot.
"Madame has just left, and Shen Bantou is going to take the villain away, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to see Madame again. Please ask Shen Bantou to call Ji'er, the girl at home, to wait here for the time being, so as not to damage the bones of his wife. Xu Jing said.
"Lord Xu still has some conscience." Shen Ji was really fooled, and as he spoke, he turned around and went outside to call Ji'er, who was still wiping his tears.
"Madame was kind to you when she was alive, you must take good care of Madame's body." Xu Jing said to Ji'er.
Jill didn't speak, just glanced at Xu Jing, as if there was a lot of dissatisfaction with him in her heart.
"Shen Bantou leads the way." Xu Jing seemed to be relieved and said to Shen Ji.
Shinji nodded, turned and walked outside.
At this moment, Xu Jing suddenly pulled out a short knife from his waist.
Jill was startled and covered her mouth.
The short knife stabbed Shen Ji in the back, Xu Jing flipped his wrist hard, and Shen Ji pounced.
Xu Jing didn't even bother to wipe the blood splashed on his face, pushed Ji'er away hard, and got under the bed.
Jill looked at Shen Ji who was still struggling on the ground in horror, and it took a long time to wake up, bypass Shen Ji, and escape to the courtyard.
The two errand officers waiting outside had a bad premonition and rushed in. I saw that Shen Ji had stopped struggling, and the bed had been overturned from below, and even Mrs. Xu's body had been lifted to the ground.
Under the bed, a bottomless hole appeared.
"Quickly call Lang Zhong outside to treat Shen Bantou." One of the officers said to the officer who was following him, and he leaned over to burrow into the hole.
The errand officer behind hurriedly ran outside, and just happened to collide with a tall man.
The officer was knocked to the ground.
"Tang Zhuangshi?"
Lu Bu strode into the room with a halberd in hand.
The scene in the room made him understand what was happening at once, and he stepped over and pulled back the errand officer who had already penetrated most of his body.
"The two of you stay here to take care of Shen Bantou, and wait for Benhou to chase after you."
The errand officer knew about Lu Bu's force, so he naturally put his mind at ease.
Lu Bu drilled into the hole.
The passage under the entrance of the cave is very narrow, and there is a lot of water under the feet, and a swaying figure in front of it can be faintly seen.
"Thief, where to go?" Lu Bu yelled, and then hurried over.
The person in front heard the sound and ran faster.
The passage was not long, but it led to the outside of the courtyard, and in a cluster of weeds by the back wall was a camouflaged wooden cover, from which Xu Jing used to sneak out in the middle of the night to meet Hou Yinping privately.
Now, this underground passage to Gentle Township has become an exit for him to escape.
Desperately propping up the lid, Xu Jing drilled out and turned around to re-cover the lid to delay Lu Bu's pursuit.
Just as he lifted the lid and was about to lean over, Lu Bu threw a halberd at him.
With a scream, the halberd pierced through the thick wooden lid and pierced into Xu Jing's chest.
Some people died, but not completely......
