Chapter 158: Take one first, open the knife
Xue Jian ordered someone to bring the prepared armor.
Zhao Que asked: "When did you do these things?"
Xue Jianqiang smiled: "The general doesn't know, there is a pair of armor from the previous dynasty hidden in the arsenal of Jinlu City, and it is rumored that it was built for the hussar general of the year.
After the Great Xia won the world, Nanyangzhou was regarded as an important place for paying taxes by the temple, but it was the treasure left by the previous dynasty, and this armor was left until now. ”
The armor is dark gold, and the gold thread on the edge is extremely exquisite, and the patterns are complex, like fairy flowers.
Xue Jian had a vision, Zhao Que took off his coat and armor in front of him, which was actually very proper, as if it was made for him.
"Didn't Xue Assassin Shi order someone to arrive?" Zhao Que asked with a smile.
The armor material is rare, worn on the body, as if there is nothing, it looks and touches, and it seems that it has just been baked for a few days, it is hard to believe that it has been left in the arsenal of Jinlu City for a hundred years.
His question, of course, was a joke.
Xue Jian didn't take it seriously, and said with a wry smile: "Such a fine armor, it takes a craftsman months and a year, just a few days, how can it be created." ”
While the two were talking, Xue Hanying heard that someone said that there was a big man in the family, and the master was trembling in the face of him.
So he snuck over here and looked around.
Last time, because General Zhao was almost in a rage, Xue Jian noticed that his baby daughter dared to come and peep, so he hurriedly confessed, found Xue Hanying's hiding place, and coaxed him away.
"The little girl was bold and rushed into the general. Xue Jian returned to Zhao Que's side and bowed.
Xue Hanying and Zhao Que hurriedly exchanged glances to determine their respective safety, and Xue Hanying was still mixed in her eyes, she would be Zhao Que's spy and never be careful.
Before she left, Zhao Que nodded shallowly.
With the movement of his wrist, Zhao Que was satisfied with the fit of the armor, but it was more than gorgeous, and in terms of defense, it was not as good as the armor of ordinary soldiers of Cisse.
"It's okay, everyone is curious, and it's understandable for your precious daughter to see who I am. ”
"I don't care if I miss the general!" Xue Jian thanked.
Zhao Que waved his hand, asked him to find a scabbard, summoned a loud sound, inserted it into the scabbard, hung it on his waist, put on his helmet, and ordered: "Nanyang stabbed Shi Xue Jian?"
"The lower official is here!"
"Order a thousand officers and soldiers, bring enough carts, follow this general, and go to the homes of the Jinlu City family and dignitaries one by one to raise money and food for the victims!"
"Xiaguan obeys!" Xue Jian clenched his fists.
Zhao Que entered the mansion from beginning to end, and never asked Xue Jian if he agreed.
Instead, he just said a few words, using the death of Ma Hechuan and the three words of Chen Beican, who broke into a great name, to make Xue Jian bow down to him, and it was difficult to turn over the slightest wave.
Is it a shame to be the sword in the hands of the general of the auxiliary state of the dynasty?
In Xue Jian's mind, there is no shame, only the four words of being subject to others.
In the final analysis, when Zhao Gouchen's knife is in his hand, it is no different from the history of a state assassination in the imperial court, and even in the future, Zhao Gouchen will be named a king with a different surname by the Son of Heaven, and it is not impossible for Xue Jian to take two more steps up and rank in the center.
Xue Jian stepped back and went to change his own armor.
Zhao Que took out the list that Zhao Sui wrote to him.
The families and dignitaries on the list are long from beginning to end.
Zhao Sui also used fly-headed small blocks to mark out some big families.
Those who are good friends with Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple are circled with cinnabar.
These big families and wealthy families are the objects of Zhao Que's attention.
He has to let these people who have lost their conscience not only cut their flesh and bleed, but also bury those innocent people who died at the hands of demon monks!
Although he knew that these things had been done, these forces would definitely fight back desperately in the future, but Zhao Que still had to do so.
Who let him see the suffering of the world!!
It took half a day to order 1,000 soldiers and horses, and to prepare a full cart.
When Xue Jian stood in front of the mansion, there were a thousand strong soldiers stretching to the left and right behind him, and he shouted: "Xue Jian, the assassin of Nanyangzhou, respectfully ask the general of the auxiliary country to order troops!!"
Zhao Que walked out.
Murderous.
Severe winter.
He is colder than in winter.
The eyes of a thousand soldiers were focused on Zhao Gouchen with all their might.
The young man with a slightly blurred face in the helmet was the previous general of Cisse in the Megatron Sea, and now the general of the auxiliary country, Zhao Gouchen?!!
Xue Jian was close to Zhao Que, unable to hold his murderous aura, trembling.
Zhao Que spoke: "Who of you is not the son of the people?"
No one answered.
Zhao Que bowed.
"That's good, today, all of you follow this general and shout for the people!"
A thousand soldiers all knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The general is mighty! The general is the best!"
It should be a slogan that Xue Jian has already memorized.
Zhao Que was indifferent.
Freezing three feet, not a day's cold.
Nanyangzhou has caused such evil results, and it is not a few years of accumulation.
The government and the people celebrated together, and the thousand strong soldiers standing in front of Zhao Que probably never knew what it was.
Anyway!
Today, General Ben, I will take you to feel it!
"You, come out a hundred. Zhao Que stretched out his hand and pointed at Xue Jian's back.
Xue Jian chuckled in his heart, the secret way is not good!
Nearly 150 people came out, and Zhao Que didn't care about their lax military discipline and weak sense of combat.
"You, enter the Assassin's Mansion, leave enough money and food for half a year's population in the Assassin's History, and send the surplus food to the general to the gate of the city, remember, except for you, if anyone dares to approach these money and grain, there will be no mercy!"
Zhao Que took out the general order that belonged to him.
One hundred and fifty people didn't dare to move, and they all looked at Xue Jian.
Zhao Que sneered: "Don't worry, with General Ben here, Xue Tingshi will not embarrass you." ”
At this moment, Xue Jian couldn't say a word.
Once these soldiers are allowed to speak, or prevaricate in an official tone, they will definitely be annoyed by the general.
With Zhao Gouchen here, how can he be allowed to speak?!
What's more, Zhao Gou Chen Jun has strict discipline, and it has long spread throughout Daxia.
About one hundred and fifty soldiers walked into the Assassin's Mansion tremblingly.
Zhao Que walked down the steps, and Xue Jian brought a tall horse for him with a cold all over his body.
Turn over and get on the horse.
"I will go to Wang's house in Chang'an Road, Jinlu City. ”
Xue Jian immediately swallowed his saliva.
Chang'an Road runs through half of Jinlu City, and the Wang family in it is not very famous, even if it is placed among all the families in Jinlu City, the Wang family seems to be only in the middle.
However, Xue Jian is very clear, the Wang family is not obvious, and it makes a lot of money, and the real Wang family behind it, including Nanyangzhou, has family power across the three major states, and the main family is not inferior to the Wen family in the capital.
The Wang family in Jinlu City is divided and has accumulated countless wealth, but they all intervene in any method that can make money, and because of their low profile, they are not obvious in the market.
Outsiders don't know, Xue Jian really knows it, if you want to say that there are any big families in Jinlu City that can't be provoked, the Wang family is one of them.
According to common sense, the general should not know about the Wang family, could it be ......
Could it be that the general Yu Jinlu City had already had spies and picked up the bottom of the city.
Xue Jian also wanted to lead the way for the general, find some families who were easy to bully, and scavenge for money and food.
Even if something gets into trouble, it's much better than stabbing a hornet's nest.
Zhao Que didn't need Xue Jian to guide him, he rode a horse alone, and Xue Jian was one horse behind him.
"Does the Wang family have anything to do with the Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple?" Zhao Que asked casually.
Although he didn't look back, what the general said to whom, how could Xue Jian not know.
"Back to the general, the Wang family was mad, and saw that there was money to be made in this business, so they sent people to kidnap the virgins with good appearance, and each person marked the price, the better the appearance, the higher the price, so as to sell it to the Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple, so that the Wang family made a lot of money because of this. ”
Xue Jian told Zhao Gouchen what he knew.
The general went to the Wang family first, and he must have known something about what the Wang family had done, and then hid the Wang family's actions that were better than the real thing, and shook them clean.
Zhao Que sighed: "You say, should the Wang family pay for this!"
"Yes!"
"Why didn't you and Huo Fengkang intervene in advance, or knock on the Wang family?!" Zhao Que asked again.
Xue Jian replied solemnly: "Xiaguan once personally visited the Wang family and asked them not to do such a conscience-destroying business, the head of the Wang family in Jinlu City was completely inappropriate, and he also drove Xiaguan out, saying that Xiaguan was just a thorn in Nanyangzhou, and he couldn't control the head of their Wang family, unless the cabinet elder of the imperial court came, their Wang family would stop." ”
Zhao Que bowed: "Okay, General Ben went to Wang's house to talk to them." ”
After releasing the murderous aura, Zhao Que had no intention of taking it back, in order to make him hear his words clearly, Xue Jian and Zhao Que side by side, eroded by their murderous aura, suffering Xue Jian's state of mind, like a dragon making trouble in the sea, and Dapeng stirring up the clouds.
After speaking, he retreated to the position he had just placed, and felt much better.
The people along the way looked at Zhao Gouchen dumbfounded.
Although they didn't know who the general was who was riding a tall horse and wearing gorgeous armor, they saw Xue Tingshi honestly following behind the horse, and understood that this general was by no means idle.
Some knelt down to Zhao Que.
Zhao Que ordered several soldiers to help them all up.
"General, the subordinate has something to do, I don't know what to do. Xue Jian was full of thoughts, and plucked up the courage to say.
"Speak. ”
"Afterwards, how should I explain to the imperial court?" Xue Jian asked.
Zhao Que replied: "I don't need you to explain, this general will play the imperial court by himself." ”
With Zhao Que's accurate reply, Xue Jian's half-mentioned heart fell heavily.
Even if Zhao Que didn't say it, he also understood that only the general personally defended the imperial court, and the imperial court would probably not hold the general responsible, and even in order to appease the people of Nanyangzhou, who were suffering from the disaster, it was possible to reward Zhao Gouchen.
"It's become Zhao's knife, are you still thinking about being alone?" Zhao Que asked casually.
Xue Jian suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said: "The lower officials don't dare!"
"Zhao told you the truth, the world is chaotic, you can only keep the glory and wealth by standing by Zhao's side, as for the more than 100 soldiers who entered your mansion and stole the excess money and food, it is also an example for outsiders, and afterwards, they will not only not complain about you, but also sympathize with you. ”
"Oops......" Xue Jian couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Such a simple truth, he couldn't figure it out, and he needed Zhao Que to mention it.
Yes, from an outsider's point of view, he was forced by the general to attack the family, dignitaries, and dignitaries, if there was no such thing, few people would think that he was in collusion with the general and joined forces to squeeze them.
Xue Jian immediately bent over: "Thank you for the protection of the general!"
"It's a trivial matter, Zhao has other things to entrust to you in the future, not now. Zhao Que said.
Xue Jian knew that there was no free meal in the world, and the general took care of him out of his own thinking, and there must be other difficult things to make him do in the future.
No matter how difficult it is to do, it will be in the future, not now, Xue Jianqiang cheered himself up.
After walking for another half an hour, you will arrive at Wang's house on Chang'an Road.
The Wang family's mansion was not built very magnificently.
When a group of soldiers arrived nearby, Zhao Que ordered a hundred people and went in with him.
The doorman of the Wang family, of course, refused to let Zhao Que enter the door easily, but said that it didn't matter how big they were, they all had to go home to report.
Zhao Que took out his knife and said, no need, on the Huangquan Road, if you report it again, tell the thieves of the Wang family.
It's a knife.
Cut four people in a row.
The ground was splattered with blood.
Leave two people to clean up.
Xue Jian's face was expressionless, following Zhao Gouchen's appearance, he was generous as if he were going back to his own house and stepping into the threshold.
The Wang family is not outstanding outside.
Inside, it's very commendable.
Pavilions and pavilions, high and low staggered, carved beams and paintings, ingenious workmanship.
The servants of the Wang family, armed with knives, guns and sticks, trembled in the face of the young general and Xue Tingshi, and did not dare to move.
Someone hurried to tell the head of the Wang family.
With Zhao Que walked into the courtyard twice.
Listening to the laughter and music in the house, the head of the Wang family in Jinlu City, and the two clan elders, a group of three, without any of the masters, passed through an arch depicting Taoist immortals, and deeply looked at Zhao Que and Xue Jian.
"Xue Tingshi has come from afar, please forgive the sin of the Wang family not being able to welcome guests!" "The head of the Wang family is an old man, although his beard and hair are all white, he wears a white clean cotton robe, and has the wind of fairy wind and bones.
The two elders of the Wang family were richly dressed, each holding a stove in their hands to warm their hands, and they looked at Zhao Que with an unkind expression.
If he dares to go straight to the Wang family, he will naturally not be the "good-tempered" Xue Jian, he must be a young general.
I just don't know who the young general is, and what's going on here......
Xue Jian didn't reply, leaving the head of the Wang family with an embarrassment.
On the way, Zhao Que did not ask Xue Jian the name of the head of the Wang family, and Xue Jian did not remind him without authorization.
At this moment, Xue Jian seemed to be fine, he only did enough of the prestige of the history of the assassination of Yizhou, and handed over all the options for the rest of the things to Zhao Que alone.
The head of the Wang family was bored, his face remained unchanged, and he asked, "What do you have to do when the little general comes to my Wang family?"
Zhao Que asked, "What's your old man's name as Wang?"
The head of the Wang family was not annoyed, but the two clan elders blew their beards angrily and glared.
"Where did you come from, didn't the elders in your family teach you the rules?"
"Don't say that it is those big families in the capital, I don't care which family you are from, when you enter the door of the Wang family, you have to be respectful and abide by the rules, otherwise, your family has not educated you well, we will educate you for them!!"
Zhao Que just looked at the head of the Wang family, and ignored the two people who were clamoring.
A servant quietly bypassed Zhao Que and whispered to the head of the Wang family about killing the doorman, his face changed greatly, he didn't care about the etiquette, and asked: "Boy, you dare to kill my servant?!"
"What! Who did this person kill? Okay, I took Xue Jian to my Wang family's mansion to kill people, okay, don't leave today, wait for your family to come and apologize later." ”
"Hmph, is there no one in the Wang family who deceived me? boy, tell me which family you are from, it's okay to be from the gate valve family, what if...... Hehe, if you come from a small family, kill people to pay for your life, pay off debts, and rightfully do, you have to pay some price for the death of a slave in my family!!"
Zhao Que repeated: "Aren't you the head of the Wang family in Jinlu City?"
He said angrily, "I am!"
"Say your name. ”
"Okay, good, good boy! What a flying and domineering gentleman, the old man will tell you, Wang Weiqi!!"
Zhao Que bowed his head: "Wang Weiqi, right? Why did you kill so many young girls and sell them to the cult Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple?"
Wang Weiqi couldn't maintain a good face at all, pointed at Zhao Que and shouted: "Nonsense, come here, beat them all out!!"
He has the confidence to speak like this, who let the Wang family's power span the three states, and the feudal officials and court officials who have made good friends can't be counted with one pair of hands!
But if Zhao Que is not a child of a family with a name and surname in Daxia, he really doesn't put it in the eyes of Wang Weiqi, and he will kill him, and he will make trouble in the capital in the future, please ask the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, etc., to preside over justice, if it is not good, then entrust a friend of the Wang family to write to the Son of Heaven!
The Wang family's subordinates know that it is not as simple as hitting out, but how many hands can be used, and how many hands can be played!
It's okay to be killed.
Everything is supported by the Wang family, and the sky can't fall.
Zhao Que didn't bother to look at the Wang family's subordinates, even if among the group of people, there were several martial arts masters in the lower and upper realms.
Zhao Que was indifferent, not surprised that Xue Jian didn't say a word, he said coldly: "Wang Weiqi, you want to think clearly and then let Hu Cong do it!!"
Wang Weiqi sneered and asked: "Xue Tingshi, why did you become a follower? Could it be that this young man is a relative of the emperor? Okay, even if it is a relative of the emperor, trespassing on my Wang family, beating and killing my domestic servant, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, it's a big deal to sue the court, Xue Tingshi won't think that my Xue family, there are few friends in the court, right?"
Xue Jian was angry, and said angrily: "Your Wang family has hands and eyes to the sky, but he, you can't afford to provoke!!"
"Haha...... Joke, who is it? The Wang family can't afford to mess with him? Is he Zhao Gou Chen?" the two clan elders leaned back and laughed.
How could a person as big as Zhao Gouchen come to Wang's house?
How can there be such a coincidence?
If you see a young general, you will think that he is General Zhao Gou Chen, and the Wang family will stop doing business.
Only by taking risks can you have a lot of Daxia treasure banknotes and 10,000 taels of gold.
Zhao Que pulled out the big sound that hung from his waist.
The appearance of the big sound fell in the eyes of Wang Weiqi and the two clan elders, and he suddenly felt bad.
I haven't shouted to stop yet.
The entouragements who came up seemed to be staggered by a strong wind, and later, blood was everywhere.
The big sound seemed to be full, and the knife groaned a few times, and gradually returned to the sheath.
Wang Weiqi was dumbfounded.
He is a master of the Heavenly Extreme, and it will never be so easy for him to kill his subordinates.
It's like eating and drinking.
"Head of the house, head of the house......"
"Hmm, what's the matter?"
A clan elder was dumbfounded and tugged at Wang Weichi's sleeve.
The patriarch's mind was blank with fright, and a large chill erupted from his tail.
"Master of the house, look at his knife!"
"Knife?" Wang Weiqi was half-asleep and half-awake, puzzled.
The clan elder took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said in a low voice: "His sword is the same as the saber of the legendary General Zhao Gou Chen, ...... Not much different. ”
He wanted to say exactly the same, but he left a little room and changed it to be almost the same.
What if you admit that you are wrong? Isn't it a matter of great embarrassment?
"Knife ?!!" Wang Weiqi suddenly realized.
He had heard rumors about Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary state, saying that it was General Zhao's saber Dayin Xisheng, which was a rare weapon in the world, how the blade was, how sharp it was, and at first glance, it was very similar to the knife that the young general in front of him had just slashed and killed Wang Jiahu's servant.
Wang Weiqi gasped, could it be ......
No way?
Zhao Que looked into Wang Weiqi's eyes and asked coldly: "Do you recognize the business between the Wang family and Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple?"
No matter!
Wang Weiqi gritted his teeth, he didn't want to know where the young general heard it, whether it was Xue Jian who heard it with him, or the evidence found from the ruined Golden Buddha Temple, he denied it all.
"I don't know what Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple is, I only know that there is indeed a temple called Golden Buddha Temple in Jinlu City, didn't the government say that the Golden Buddha Temple is a cult?
Zhao Que nodded and commented: "Don't cry when you don't see the coffin." ”
“......”
Knife again.
A knife stabbed the clan elder in the lower realm, stabbed the heart, pulled out the knife, and splashed half of the stunned Wang Weiqi with fishy blood.
"You, you, you, you......"
"Do I dare to kill the Wang family in front of you?" Zhao Que asked rhetorically.
Wang Weiqi breathed the smell of blood, looked at the clan elder who fell to the ground and convulsed, and saw that he had more air out and less air in, and he couldn't live.
"No matter who you are, the Wang family will kill you!"
Zhao Que sneered: "Zhao is Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary state, your Wang family will come to kill me!"
“......”
Wang Weiqi opened his mouth half-open, staring at the jade plaque shown by Zhao Que.
Who in the world would dare to imitate such a general token? Don't say that it is still Zhao Gouchen's general order!!
"You ......"
"Am I really Zhao Gouchen?" Zhao Que sneered, "Yes, you think right, Zhao is still Zhao Gouchen." ”
The rest of the Wang family elder, whose face was white as if he was dead, knelt down to Zhao Que and shouted: "Wang Weizhen of the Wang family, welcome General Zhao!!"
Wang Weiqi could only kneel: "Wang Weiqi, the head of the Wang family, greetings to the general of the auxiliary state!!"
Zhao Que sneered: "Say! Your relationship with the Golden Buddha Temple." ”
Wang Weiqi hung his head and didn't say anything.
Zhao Que half-turned around and asked Xue Jian: "These big families in Jinlu City treated you like this in the past?"
Xue Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Whatever the general says, whether it is Xia Guan or Huo Fengkang, they will only face us arrogantly." ”
"You are from the Xue family. Zhao Que said.
"General, the lower officials are alone in Jinlu City, how can they compare to them who have already spread their branches, as the saying goes, the emperor is far away, and the Xue family, who has been a marquis for generations, compared with these clans that are more snakes than the head snakes, they can't control the face of the lower officials, only relying on the name of the Xue family, holding on to their lives, so as not to hinder them from getting rich and killing the lower officials!"
