184. The killing begins
Cheng Zhenlei was helpless in his heart, he was mad with anger, he was obviously telling the truth, but these people were obviously only willing to believe what they wanted to believe.
The main thing is that they really didn't say anything, what could he say?
Now even if he lied and said that Shen Du had given him benefits, the more he couldn't explain it.
In particular, his previous proposal was moderate, which also deepened everyone's suspicions.
He is well aware that once the seeds of doubt are planted, they take root.
In the final analysis, it is also their alliance that is already loose and distrustful of each other.
Cao Hou glanced at Cheng Zhenlei coldly, threw up his sleeves and left.
The crowd also got up and left.
The banquet ended unhappily.
Cheng Zhenlei sighed, walked out of the rudder, and planned to go back to his residence.
……
Under the moonlight, a figure stood in front of the door of the mansion, and the bright moonlight pulled out a long shadow.
Cheng Zhenlei paused, and his face instantly became not very good-looking.
Shen Du?
What did he come to do?
Shen Du looked at Cheng Zhenlei and said lightly: "Lord Cheng, this official has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Cheng Zhenlei was suddenly angry, he was so calculated, and he was a little angry in his heart.
"Lord Shen, you are really calculating!"
"What a divisive plan!"
Cheng Zhenlei gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"Huh!" Shen Du smiled lightly: "Cheng Zhutou's words are wrong, and this official has not done anything. ”
Cheng Zhenlei sneered.
He is also an old man, and he really thinks he is a fledgling newcomer.
"Lord Shen might as well say bluntly, what do you want to do?"
At this point, he didn't want to be polite anymore.
Shen Du's eyes lifted slightly, fell on Cheng Zhenlei, and said calmly: "What does this official want, why should Master Cheng ask knowingly." ”
"From the moment I sat in this seat, there was only one voice in the six doors of Gyeonggi!"
"That's my Shen Du's voice!"
The last words fell, and it seemed that the bell rang, exploding in Cheng Zhenlei's ears like thunder.
There is no doubt in the words.
He didn't want to be a puppet at the mercy of others, and if that was the case, why did he fight for it in the first place.
Cheng Zhenlei was stunned at first, then quickly shook his head and sneered: "Lord Shen, I'm afraid you don't understand the situation in Yanjing City, right?" ”
Anyone can say big things, but how can this be done so easily.
It's good to have blood, but there are some things that can't be done with blood.
The forces in the entire Yanjing City are intertwined and intricate, and they affect the whole body.
Even if you move someone, the next day someone will come up and plead.
Because they are also saving themselves, this is already a tacit understanding that has become a convention.
The six squires are still in the book, the cabinet elders, the military meritorious families, the princely families, which one is easy to provoke.
Shen Du's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "You haven't even done it, how do you know that you can't do it?" ”
"Back in Qingzhou, was it difficult for this official to capture the four princes of the Northern Barbarians in an army of 100,000?"
"When I first arrived in Taizhou, it was difficult, and this official broke into the branch hall of the Giant Spirit Gang alone to regain the right to pay taxes for Caoyun, is it difficult?"
"Is it difficult to pacify the two major families in Taizhou?"
Cheng Zhenlei didn't know how to answer for a while.
All along, everyone seems to have subconsciously avoided a question.
It is true that Shen Du is young, but his achievements are real.
If these things were for them, they might not be able to do better than Shen Du.
Cheng Zhenlei shook his head and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, Lord Shen, I don't want to interfere in this matter." ”
Shen Du sneered: "I can't help you now." ”
"There's already a gap between you, haven't you?"
Cheng Zhenlei said in a deep voice: "I will explain this matter clearly." ”
"Really?" Shen Du's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly his eyes turned to the back, and said lightly: "You should have heard it, right?" ”
"What?" Cheng Zhenlei was shocked and subconsciously looked back.
In the streets and alleys, a black figure flickered, and he was about to leave.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a crisp knife roar resounded, and under the moonlight, a white sharp knife light lit up for a moment.
The majestic sword aura is like the tide of the Hanhai Sea, terrifying!
Blood splattered!
A skull rose to the sky and rolled to the ground.
Blood gushes like a pillar!
Cheng Zhenlei's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly came to the corpse, and when he saw his appearance, his pupils shrank.
"Zoron!?"
This Zuo Long is Cao Hou's henchman, his strength is not too strong, he only has five qi dynasty yuan, but he is very good at concealing his breath.
He hadn't even found out before.
Cheng Zhenlei's face became gloomy, he knew that this was Cao Hou and they didn't believe in him, so he deliberately sent someone to follow him.
Shen Du looked at Cheng Zhenlei and smiled slightly: "Master Cheng, happy cooperation!" ”
The words fell, and he turned around and left directly.
Cheng Zhenlei has no choice.
As soon as this person died, Cheng Zhenlei was speechless.
Cheng Zhenlei sighed and looked at the corpse in a daze.
He's tempted to curse now!
I didn't expect this son to look young, but his methods were so old.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
In the past two days, the number of people caught in the Gyeonggi Helm has increased to more than 500.
Although the number of people is small, it is still much more lively than at the beginning.
In the front hall, Shen Du tapped on the table and looked at the horizon with his eyes.
After preparing for so long, it's time to get started.
He has always liked to cut through the mess quickly and solve things quickly.
Since these guys are so ignorant of lifting, they don't mind sending them on their way.
"Xu Jin, let's summon it!"
Shen Du got up slowly, his body exuded a very oppressive momentum, and his eyes exuded a trace of killing intent.
Between the surging of qi and blood, there seemed to be a roar in the entire room.
Xu Jin turned around and left.
……
Outer city, split rudder.
In the streets, the sound of horses' hooves trampling could be heard, and the ground trembled slightly.
Around the street, countless people from the rivers and lakes came to watch and discussed.
"What are these people from the Six Doors going to do?"
"I don't know."
"But that seems to be the seventh on the list, right?"
Now Shen Du's fame is not small, and there are already people in the city who have specially made portraits for sale, so they are very recognizable.
Shen Du rode his horse forward, and finally stopped in front of the helm mansion.
In front of the gate, Ke Jian was already waiting here, and when he saw Shen Du, he immediately saluted respectfully: "I've seen my lord!" ”
Shen Du bowed slightly, stepped forward, and stepped into the rudder.
At this time, in the rudder, Xiao Tai, the chief catcher of the rudder, was still admiring his latest calligraphy and painting.
Xiao Tai usually has no other hobbies, he likes antique calligraphy and painting, and has collected a lot of antique calligraphy and painting.
Hearing the commotion outside, Xiao Tai immediately frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Come on, go and see what's going on?" ”
"What kind of body is noisy!"
What he hates the most is being disturbed when he is admiring calligraphy and painting.
Soon, the catcher who had left earlier retreated through the door, looking frightened.
Xiao Tai didn't look at it, and immediately scolded angrily: "Get out!" ”
"Lord Xiao is so interested."
At that moment, a joking voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Tai's face was gloomy, and he stepped out of the room.
Shen Dudu, dressed in pure black robes, sat on the red dragon horse, and behind him was the fierce six doors to catch fast.
Xiao Tai's pupils are shrinking!
"Lord Xiao, someone has accused you of being greedy for Mo and withholding resources, accepting bribes, and even letting go of the court criminals."
The sound of the light wind falling was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked Xiao Tai's heart.
Because these things are true.
Xiao Tai's mind fluctuated, and he quickly pretended to be calm and said, "Lord Shen, it's better not to listen to rumors!" ”
"Rumors?" Shen Du smiled and said, "Mr. Ke, why don't you tell him." ”
Hearing this, Ke Jian took a step forward, took out an account book from his arms, and sneered: "This is all the evidence of your guilt in accepting bribes!" ”
"Everything, all in one book!"
If Xiao Tai is clean, then he naturally has nothing to do, but Xiao Tai has too many dirty things on his hands.
So much so that he could find a lot of them whenever he looked for them.
"Ke Jian!!"
Xiao Tai was furious, his eyes stared at Ke Jian, and he said angrily: "Do you want to find death?" ”
Ke Jian was not stunned at all, and smiled coldly.
Old things, since they are old, they should honestly retreat.
He has been the deputy chief arrest for so long, and he didn't do it for nothing.
Since you don't want to retreat, then I'll help you.
Xiao Tai looked at the posture in front of him and already had a premonition.
"Someone!"
"Someone!"
Xiao Tai roared three times in a row, but the entire courtyard was deadly silent, only the few people on duty caught fast.
Ke Jian sneered: "Lord Xiao, don't shout, those people of yours have been temporarily transferred." ”
"...... you" Xiao Tai's face changed greatly, he looked up at Shen Du, and said coldly: "What do you want to do?" ”
"Even if you want to ask me about my sins, then you should tell God to catch my lord!"
Shen Duju looked down at him condescendingly, and said lightly: "Lord Xiao, have you forgotten that this official is your direct boss now?" ”
"Take him down!"
When the words fell, Ke Jian took the lead in stepping forward, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Old thing, you also have today.
"Presumptuous!"
Xiao Tai's momentum was released, his robe shook, and he shouted: "I see who dares!?" ”
After all, Xiao Tai has been the chief arrester for so long, and his prestige is still there.
Xiao Tai sneered: "Shaft, do you think you can bring me down just by relying on these evidence? ”
"Do you think you're the only one behind you?"
"The so-called evidence is just a forgery from you."
How dare he do this if there is no one to support him?
It's true that he is greedy, but half of what he is greedy for is given to other people.
Want to touch him?
It's not that easy.
As long as he bites to death and refuses to admit it, he will be released to the state capital in the end.
Xiao Tai was about to continue to speak, when he felt a cold light fall on his body, like a needle prick.
"Mr. Xiao, you may have made a mistake."
Shen Du leaned forward slightly, smiling: "I didn't plan to let you leave alive." ”
The evidence is all in front of him, how can he let Xiao Tai leave alive.
He didn't frame it out of thin air, even if he made trouble at the headquarters, others would have nothing to say.
"What?"
Xiao Tai's face changed greatly, and before he could speak, he felt a cold sword intent fill his body.
In the pupils, a dazzling sword suddenly flashed!
The blade nearly filled his entire eye.
"No—"
Xiao Tai roared angrily and subconsciously slapped his palm.
It's just that these years of pampering have made his fighting consciousness drop a lot, and he has an empty realm.
"Boom!"
The true qi collapsed, and the sword qi slashed along Xiao Tai.
Xiao Tai's eyebrows gradually cracked a bright red vertical line, and then his body slowly cracked.
Shen Du put away his knife, glanced at Ke Jian, and said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, Ke Jian will temporarily take over the post of chief arrester, and this official will report this matter to the headquarters." ”
Ke Jian, who was stunned, looked overjoyed, and arched his hand: "Thank you, sir!" ”
Although it was a temporary general arrest, he knew very well that it was only temporary.
Shen Du nodded and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ke, take your people and go to Xuanqing Street." ”
A hint of coldness suddenly flashed in Shen Du's eyes.
The rats that have been left for so long should also play a role.
……
Outer city, some mansion.
A strong smell of medicine emanated from the room, and the windows were ajar, and several figures were faintly visible sitting in the room.
Several black masks sit on the table.
There was also a person lying on the bed, wrapped in thick gauze, and his breath was weak.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a man in a black brocade robe stepped in.
"The gates are still under martial law, and you may have to stay here for a few more days."
The man looked at a few people in the room and said in a deep voice: "There are often patrols in the city these days, and there are nighthawk spies with six doors patrolling the pharmacies everywhere. ”
"Damn it!"
The black-robed man sitting on the chair scolded angrily and said coldly: "This group of guys is really persistent!" ”
Since the failure of the Ascending Banquet, these people have scattered and fled, because the eldest brother was seriously injured, so they have not left.
It's just that if the eldest brother's injury is not treated with good medicine, if it drags on, I'm afraid it will be even more serious.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hospital, accompanied by an eager voice.
"Master, there is an uninvited guest!"
