The eldest lady didn't know that she had fallen for Xu Zhi at this time, and when she saw Sima Banru breaking in, she was just scared at first, but then saw him being pressed to the ground, and she was only wearing a nightdress, so she hurriedly pulled the quilt and covered herself tightly.

A moment later, Xu Zhi, who had long been hiding in the shadows, ran over with a few people.

"You dare to deceive my beloved wife?" Xu Zhi said, slapping at Sima Banru a few times.

Sima Banru was beaten to a certain soberness.

"Ben, Ben Hou was invited by you."

"Nonsense, who would invite you here at such a time?" Xu Zhi shouted.

Sima Banru looked back at the maid standing aside.

The maid ignored him, but turned to look at Xu Zhi, with a frightened look, and said, "When the slave maid went to the toilet, she found that Marquis Sima sneaked into the courtyard, and the slave and maid were worried that he would come to do bad things, so they hid in the dark to observe, and saw him get into the eldest lady's house. ”

"Come here late at night, and still dress like this, could it be ......" Xu Zhi's face suddenly changed, and he pointed to the two male servants who followed him with his hand, "You go to this house and search it immediately." ”

"Yes." The valet promised to leave.

Xu Zhi pointed to the side and ran out of the maid who had just heard the voice, and ordered, "You two go to the eldest lady's room to have a look." ”

Everything went very smoothly, and not long after, the two male servants searched out a bra worn by the eldest lady from Sima Banru's room, and Sima Banru's robe was also found by the two maids from under the eldest lady's bed.

Some family members who did not know the truth were shocked and began to discuss.

Xu Zhi was furious.

"Hurry up and invite the eldest lady's brother to come here, the family is unfortunate, and this slut is out." Xu Zhi said as he didn't forget to tell the other people, "Tie up that Chen Ji and bring it here." ”

Chen Ji was dragged out of the bed.

The eldest lady was covered in the quilt and didn't dare to show her head, although she already understood eight or nine points in her heart, but because there were many men here, she could only scold Xu Zhi a few words through the quilt.

Sima Banru also wanted to defend himself, but was gagged with a rag by a family member.

Half an hour later, the elder brother of the eldest lady, the chief in charge of the money and food of the forbidden army, was invited.

Needless to say, he was so angry that he almost passed out.

", if you do such a thing, my family's face will be lost by you!" This person is also hot-tempered, and he was about to rush into the house when he drew his long sword, but was stopped by Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi made a sad face.

"Although Sister Ling has done this cheap thing, she must have been married to me for many years, and it will be insulting to me to spread it, and I ask my brother to calm his anger for the time being, and go to the hall with me to discuss it."

The chief manager also felt really embarrassed here, so he nodded.

"Escort these two men to the back of the firewood room, and don't let them escape." Xu Zhi pointed at Sima Banru and Chen Ji, instructed several thugs, and then looked back at a maid, "You wait to serve the eldest lady first and get dressed, don't let her go out of the house." ”

When Xu Zhi spoke, a pair of eyes kept blinking at the maid who framed the two.

The maid understood, touched her waist with both hands, and followed another maid into the eldest lady's room.

"Let's all disperse, don't let the news of tonight's affairs go out, if anyone mentions it to outsiders, the official will cut off his tongue." Xu Zhi was still not at ease, and shouted at everyone again.

The crowd did not dare to say a word, and quickly dispersed.

Chen Ji and Sima Banru were escorted to the firewood room in the back.

There was a lot of garbage piled up everywhere in the firewood room, and it exuded a foul smell.

Sima Banru's mouth was stuffed with rags, and he could only shake his head at Chen Ji and make a "whine" sound.

Chen Ji couldn't guess that this was Xu Zhi's conspiracy.

Using his wife's name and his fat face to achieve his own selfish interests is something that only a person like Xu Zhi can do.

Two thugs went out with their noses covered and locked the door of the firewood room from the outside.

Chen Ji moved his body a few times, and suddenly stretched out a leg and kicked Sima Banru a few times.

"You guy, you don't know how to restrain under the fence, so I am affected by you!"

Sima Banru rolled a few times, leaned against the wall, and shook his head desperately at Chen Ji, motioning for him to help him take out the contents of his mouth.

Chen Ji only had his hands tied, and his body could still move, and after struggling a few times, he got up from the ground, turned his back and pulled out the rags from Sima Banru's mouth.

"Xu Zhi harms me." Sima Banru shouted.

Chen Ji kicked him again.

"Useless things, if I knew this, Lord Ben shouldn't have walked with you, and gave away the dragon and phoenix jade pendant for nothing, but you will be bullied like you."

"Lord Chen doesn't know that Ben Hou was indeed killed by Xu Zhi." Sima Banru also wanted to defend himself.

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside: "The eldest lady has committed suicide!" ”

The sound immediately drew a jumble of footsteps.

The two thugs who were guarding outside were also a little shocked.

"Is it a bit too much for the two of us to help you do this?" One of the thugs muttered something in a whisper.

"Isn't it because you and my brother are hiding here because they don't have any money? Since Xu Zhi promised to give me a hundred taels of silver afterwards, why should we care about his wife's life or death? The other man was unimpressed.

"These two people are locked up here, and they can't escape, so I'll go and see the excitement later?"

The footsteps of the two were far away.

Sima Banru rolled to Chen Ji's feet.

"Lord Chen quickly helped me untie the rope, and the two of us took advantage of the chaos to escape."

Chen Ji was a little hesitant.

Xu Zhi was targeting Sima Banru, not himself, if he escaped with him at this time, if he wanted to continue to stay in Luoyang, I am afraid there would be no more chance.

The noise outside continued.

Suddenly, another sound sounded from the back of the firewood room, like countless heavy objects being thrown into the yard from outside, followed by the sound of dense footsteps coming from behind.

Chen Ji and Sima Banru were shocked at the same time.

Chen Ji twisted his bulky body to the door, lying on the crack of the door and looking out.

What caught my eye was countless figures holding steel swords, among them, there were several samurai-like people wearing armor, and it seemed that there were more than 100 people.

"Lord Hao Yi has an order, not to leave a living mouth, kill Sima Banru and Chen Ji, and reward him heavily." A samurai-looking man whispered.

Everyone agreed in unison and quickly approached the front.

Most of these servants in the poor Xu Zhi Mansion were still hiding in the corner of the eldest lady's courtyard to watch the excitement, and the sudden killer was like a demon from hell, only to see the flashing of knife lights, and the heads had rolled to the ground without warning.

In order not to let a single person escape, Hao Yi mobilized a full 300 forbidden troops responsible for protecting the Jin Palace, and these people jumped down from the four walls of the courtyard and slowly advanced towards the middle of the mansion.

Not to mention a living person trying to escape, even a rat that sneaks into the kitchen to steal food is not immune.

Xu Zhi would never have dreamed that the person who killed his entire family would actually be Sima Yan, who had always claimed to trust him the most, and even the chief manager in charge of the money and food of the forbidden army was confused.
