Text Chapter 12 Hou Ye's Lecture
Yan Zongheng invited two imperial doctors and a medical doctor from the palace. Without the emperor's order, they couldn't go out easily, but in the face of the requirements of Yan Zongheng, the little devil, they were very unprincipled, very disciplined, and they were not afraid of the emperor's guilt and followed out of the imperial city.
As soon as Yan Zongheng walked into the Xiaoyao Mansion, he smelled a strong smell of blood. "Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Yan Zongheng asked with a frown. "Master Qiyu, the matter has been investigated, it is Uncle Chen who sent us beef, he will smear a powder in the beef he sent us every day, and Aunt Li in the kitchen will also add medicinal powder to the soy milk we drink. They said that their grandson was held in his hand and had to do it. Xu Qing stepped forward and said.
"Let me ask you, what is the matter with such a strong smell of blood in the house? I didn't ask you about poisoning. Yan Zongheng's voice was full of murderous intent and asked. "I was in charge, and I arrested Uncle Chen and Aunt Li's family, and killed them all in front of the people in the house to set an example. Xu Qing said on his knees.
"You are so bold, someone came to close the entire Xiaoyao Hou Mansion for me, it seems that I will give you a good explanation of the rules today. All staff gathered in the martial arts training ground. Yan Zongheng roared. The guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately closed the gate of the Xiaoyao Mansion, and all the staff quickly assembled. The maids in the house didn't dare to slack off, and quickly stood on the martial arts training ground.
"I went to the battlefield at the age of eight, resigned at the age of twelve, and obtained the title of Marquis of Xiaoyao. The 300 guards you were present here were all my brothers on the battlefield, and you suffered with me for three years, and I brought you back in the hope that you could have a good life.
I did it, you don't have to face life and death every day, and you have your own mother-in-law. But what did you do to me, what have you done in the past two years, you have lost your former edge, you have not trained well, and even the night patrols are a little sluggish, and the comfortable days have made your armor smaller and your alertness gone.
In this capital, it is inevitable that someone will secretly want to harm me. Some are simply jealous, and some are taught by me to hold a grudge, they will always try their best to make people unable to prevent it, but this does not mean that they will not defend themselves, waiting for them to harm me.
I broke through the innate realm, and a lot of impurities were eliminated from my body, if I hadn't been in a hurry to wash off the dirt on my body, I wouldn't have known that someone had secretly poisoned me. Hmph, is this the fault of Uncle Chen, who sent us the ingredients? Is this the fault of Aunt Li in the kitchen? They all just want to protect their dearest people.
The fault of all this is yours, it is that you have lost your vigilance, that you are so accustomed to comfort and pleasure that you cannot do it every once in a while, as you did in the barracks, for fear that some spies will get involved. Even though it will make people very dissatisfied with you, and even think that you don't trust them and don't want to deal with you, you still do it, and the purpose of doing so is not to die in a daze.
You followed me back to the capital, and you did this kind of thing several times, except once a month in the first six months, and twice in the next three months, and then you did such a thing? It's not that they betrayed us, but that you lost your vigilance, that you were content with the status quo, and that you were negligent.
There are White Lotus Sect cultists outside the capital, and General Situ's father and son have killed 10,000 people together, among which there must have been wrongful killings, and there are quite a few, but they still did it in order to warn the White Lotus Sect. Today, I only killed Xu Qing, which can be regarded as atonement for Uncle Chen's family and Aunt Li's family, and also a warning to you.
If there is such a thing as poisoning and assassination in this Xiaoyao Hou Mansion again, don't blame me for not being merciful. I can only invite all of you out of the Xiaoyao Mansion. I'll replace a new group of people to guard the Xiaoyao Mansion and protect my safety. Yan Zongheng said in a very stern tone.
"Master Hou, please take care of my family. Brothers, please make it clear to my family that I am to blame for this matter. After Xu Qing finished speaking, he stood up, picked up a knife from the weapon rack and was about to apologize for himself, Yan Zongheng quickly snatched the knife, and said with disdain in his voice: "If you want to kill yourself, do you agree with me?"
"Master Hou, Master Xie. Xu Qing looked at the knife that pierced his heart and said with tears streaming down his face. "Tie Feng, Tie Shan sent Xu Qing to a mass grave in the western suburbs to bury him, remember to set up a monument. Yan Zongheng said in a cold voice. Tieshan He Tiefeng didn't dare to hesitate, and dragged Xu Qing's body out of the martial arts training ground.
Yan Zongheng looked at the maid in the mansion with a cold gaze, "I know that some of you are not just a maid, some of you are bribed, and some of you are simply spies, I don't care what your identity is, since you have come to my Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, you can do things for me." If any of you have already done something sorry for my Yan Zongheng, or are going to do something sorry for my Yan Zongheng, I hope you will leave the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion for me before tomorrow, otherwise it will be found out in the future, don't blame me for not being cold-blooded and ruthless, and lead troops to greet your whole family. Yan Zongheng's murderous aura enveloped them, and as soon as the words fell, a few of them collapsed on the ground, crying loudly: "I was wrong, please let my family go." ”
Yan Zongheng waved his hand, and the guards immediately stepped forward and dragged them away. "That's all for today, do whatever you have to do. This is the Imperial Physician and the Medicist I have hired to examine your body and determine if you have the same chronic toxins in your body as I do. They are all famous doctors and holy hands, you have to respect them, and if you dare to disrespect them, the warlords will serve. Yan Zongheng said very sternly.
"Master Hou has said it, we must check up and down for the Hou Mansion of Xiaoyao. ”
Yan Zongheng left the martial arts training ground and quickly came to a remote courtyard in the backyard. Tie Feng and Tie Shan had already given Xu Qing the best gold sore medicine and wrapped up the wound. "Big brother, why did you say that Hou Ye did this, he obviously wanted to kill Brother Xu, but he still stabbed him in the left side. Tie Shan asked puzzled.
"In the past two years, we have not done well enough, Hou Ye is very disappointed in us, he really wants to kill a person, kill a chicken to show the monkey, let us wake up, but he is unwilling to hurt our comrades-in-arms who live and die together. That's why I chose Brother Xu, a freak with a heart on the right side, to do it. After all, there are only a few of us who know that Brother Xu's heart is on the right side, so that we can not only kill the chicken to show the monkey, let us wake up, but also not really kill Brother Xu. Tie Feng explained.
Xu Qing lay there with a pale face, tears still flowing out of his eyes. Yan Zongheng walked in, "How is it? ”
"Thank you for forgiveness, the grace of not killing. When Xu Qing saw Yan Zongheng coming in, he was about to get up and was held down by Yan Zongheng. "Don't speak, how many times have you experienced life and death, how could I really kill you, but you have really disappointed me in the past two years. In the evening, I will arrange for you to leave the Hou Mansion to raise. ”
