Uncle Ku didn't know the last intention of the Ku Jiang clan, he looked at the bitter Jiang clan's weakly drooping body with a cold expression, and pulled out the sword.

Then he wiped the blood from all around, walked out of the door and said, "Go and pass the witch doctor, go and pass the witch doctor." ”

The whole Kufu was a busy mess, but no one could enter the study. Seeing the corpse of the Ku Jiang clan, even the personal maid who waits for the lady can't go in.

The next day, everyone in Taoze City knew that the Kujiang clan had died of a vicious disease, and a white cloth was hung at the gate of Ku Mansion, telling the people in the city that this was a real thing.

The first one to go to the funeral was Qi, after Qi entered the gate, he took three steps and knocked down, and bowed in five steps, and his face was full of tears.

When he arrived at the mourning hall, he kowtowed, broke his forehead, and the blood flowed out, and he didn't stop.

At this time, Uncle Ku stopped him and said to Qi: "Qi, enough is enough, enough is enough, Mrs. is under Jiuquan, and I don't want you to hurt your body like this." ”

Qi wow, crying loudly, this crying for a quarter of an hour, even the voice of the cry was lost, which made Bai Qing, who came to attend the funeral later, evaluate Qi a few points higher.

"I have long heard that this person is loyal and virtuous, and when I see it today, he really deserves his reputation."

"No, even the virtuous Zimengjun praised him for his kindness, and he deserved to be able to go from a commoner to this position at a young age."

When Kai heard these words, his face was full of tears, but his heart was happy.

It seems that everything he has done has not been in vain, but he must be careful step by step, lest this rare reputation be unintentionally ruined.

Qi Shouling guarded the spirit for three days, and when it was time to be buried, he personally carried the coffin for the Kujiang family.

A few days after the burial of the bitter Jiang clan, Qidu refused to eat meat, indicating that the bitter ginger clan was filial piety.

A month after the burial of the bitter Jiang family, Jiang Yuan also returned from Dishan, and the first thing he did when he came back was not to summon Baiqing to deal with official business, but to summon Qi.

Jiang Yuan looked at the scar on Qi's forehead and his emaciated figure, sighed and said, "Alas, if my sister knows about it, she will definitely be moved by what you have done." ”

"Qi is deeply favored by the city lord and his wife, and the broken bones are not enough to repay him, if he has to wait for the city lord to come back, Qi must follow his wife under Jiuquan to protect her underground from being humiliated by lonely ghosts."

Looking at Qi's tears, Jiang Yuan was deeply moved, and said to Qi: "Qi, no need, sister, he also hopes to keep a useful body and do something for the world, now is the time of turmoil, the Sanyi clan is ready to establish the Marquis of Yu as the emperor, and Siyue wants to establish Xi and Gong, and Wuzheng is going to establish Danzhu as the emperor." Marquis Yu has retired, but half of those who went with Marquis Yu, and half of those who went with Xi and Gong, although there are two strong now, but Danzhu is a descendant of Emperor Yao, who is the throne of this emperor, it is difficult to say now. ”

Qi said respectfully: "I don't know who the lord supports? ”

Jiang Yuan sighed and said: "The twelve lords have not expressed their position, they are just waiting for someone to gain power, and then they will be respectful." This is all an opportunity for us, if we can support the emperor, then we don't have to live in this Taoze City. ”

"I wonder what the city lord has planned?"

"I came to you to ask you to go to find Boyi and tell Yu Hou my respect. Although Xi Hegong was in power for a while, he just relied on the shadow of his father. If Zimengjun is unfortunate enough to feather, then it will be difficult to support the world even though the building wood is large. ”

Qi nodded, saluted Jiang Yuan respectfully and said, "The little one will definitely convey your kindness to the city lord like Marquis Yu." ”

Jiang Yuan nodded and let Qi leave.

When Qi was leaving, he summoned the other ironclad guards and said to them: "Brothers, junior brother, I want to go out to do something, the long is ten days, the short is three days, and during this time, please worry about the safety of the city lord." ”

These ironclad guards hurriedly nodded in agreement, the first thing Jiang Yuan did when he came back was to find Qi, let them know Qi's status in Jiang Yuan's heart, and they couldn't wait to find an opportunity to flatter him.

"We are here to wish Qi a smooth completion of the city lord's explanation, Qi, have a smooth journey."

Qi nodded, and left here on a horse at noon, he did not go to Boyi, but went to Nanping Mountain.

He walked over to the big stone, took out the jade flute he had buried, and played it slowly.

On the third day of Qi's departure, Jiang Yuan went to Uncle Ku's house to incense his sister, and he went to Baiqing naturally with him, and Jiang Yuan didn't say anything.

In order to cope with the arrival of Baiqing and the city lord, Uncle Ku borrowed a lot of servants from everywhere, and when Jiang Yuan took five ironclad guards to the outside of Uncle Ku's house, he saw a lot of fresh faces.

When Jiang Yuan arrived at the gate, he saw Uncle Ku kneeling at the gate to greet him.

Jiang Yuan smiled coldly and said to him, "Get up." Uncle Ku nodded, and then followed behind Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan walked to the ancestral hall at the back of the house, took the incense handed by Uncle Ku, tears appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the days he had with his sister.

He closed his eyes and said to Uncle Ku, "Uncle Ku, I want to know how my sister died. ”

"Qi Qi City Lord, it's a vicious disease."

"What disease? Although my sister is not cultivated, she is not weak, and some kind of evil disease will make her die suddenly in one day. ”

Jiang Yuan said, the two sword eyebrows were raised, he had already asked many people, before the accident, there was nothing wrong with the bitter Jiang family's body.

"There are unforeseen circumstances on this day, and people have good and bad luck, is this accurate? City lords, some people are ashamed, suspicious all day long, and naturally they won't live long. Uncle Ku still kept talking to Jiang Yuan calmly, his tone was very calm, as if he was talking about what he ate today, not about his wife's death.

Jiang Yuan's eyes opened, bowed to the bitter Jiang clan three times, and then said, "What are you ashamed of?" ”

"Hmph, Jiang Yuan, you are still here pretending to be confused, your brothers and sisters are not good, everyone in the city knows it, if you are still ashamed, just learn from your sister and kill herself."

Uncle Ku said, throwing a short sword to Jiang Yuan's side, Jiang Yuan heard this, he laughed angrily, the laughter shook the people around him to stand unsteadily, Jiang Yuan laughed for a while, and said to Uncle Ku: "Uncle Ku, your ability is getting bigger and bigger, dare to let this official commit suicide, come on, take it for me." ”

The five iron-armored guards immediately unsheathed their weapons, but the servants around them all took out the blades hidden on their bodies.

Uncle Ku said to the five ironclad guards; "Jiang Yuan is tyrannical and unreasonable, absurd, today I will exile Jiang Yuan and wait for Baiqing, if you want to die with the unreasonable, then do it."

Jiang Yuan looked around, and Bai Qing was standing on Uncle Ku's side. His mind was in a hurry, and he knew that he had to kill Uncle Ku first today to get out of the predicament.

Thinking of this, he said to the servants around him: "Uncle Ku is plotting rebellion, and Lang Er and others are also deceived by him, if you put down your weapons now, you will not be guilty." ”
