Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 37: Killing in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, the sky was cold and clear, and the lack of moon poked its head out of the stratus clouds.
The thin light is sprinkled like water, and the courtyard of the Liu family in Jinguancheng is extraordinarily holy.
Outside the courtyard of the head of the house in the east corner, the lights hanging on the wall will be extinguished, and the moonlight mixed with the fire will flow to the corner, and it will be difficult to move forward a bit.
No matter how the moonlight shifts, the dripping eaves on the courtyard wall will cover this place tightly. In this dark corner, the night is as thick as ink.
The family who was coming to refill the lamp oil looked at the place, shivered coldly, and hurriedly added the lamp oil.
There seemed to be a poisonous beast lurking in the inky whirlpool, and if it weren't for the sudden disappearance of that gloomy gaze, the family would have run away.
"Whew-"
Xu Cao looked away, and only after the family left the place without looking back, did he gently exhale a breath of turbidity.
In this unpredictable spring night, he could only hear his slightly accelerated heartbeat.
Compared to the half an hour he had waited in this shadow, he had been coming to Liu Zhaolang's side for many years, and he had enough patience to wait for the best time to act.
After another half a moment, Chunyue mischievously hid behind the scenes, and Xu Cao finally waited for the time to act.
Tightening the short blade tightly bound behind him, and probing the pills in the bag on his chest, Xu Cao moved!
The more you climb the house, the time is hidden, the tiles are silent, and they are like birds!
Xu Cao opened the window with great ease, climbed into the room very fluently, and came to the bed with great ease, just as he leaned over and took out the pill, feeling that everything would end naturally as expected, he found that he couldn't move!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Liu Chaoge, who was lying on the bed and fell into a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
Without a hint of surprise, he stared at the masked man who was less than three feet away from him and couldn't move, and said softly, "Come out." β
"Squeak~"
The door of the secret room opened, and Li Miaozhen, who was inside, stepped out first with a candle in his hand.
I saw that she came to the black-clothed masked man in a smart way, and shot like the wind, quickly sealing several of the opponent's big holes, and then turned around and lit all the candles in the room.
Li Miaozhen smiled and said: "Okay! This bad guy was hit by the 'bone incense' specially prepared by me, and he was sealed around the big hole, and he was already unable to escape." β
"Hmm~Hmm~"
Although they had taken the antidote in advance, several old men who slowly paced out of the secret room still covered their mouths and noses with face towels.
The black-clothed masked man's face towel should be taken off, so Liu Xingzhen came straight to his granddaughter's side after he came out.
He said with disgust: "Miaozhen, you have to make less trouble with these things in the future, you have to remember that you are the eldest lady of the Li family, you see if you don't learn more piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and female workers with your mother in a day, but you have learned all the bad habits on your father, don't think about what to do as a heroine!"
Li Miaozhen faced her grandfather's chatter, and said helplessly: "I know, grandpa, now is not the time to talk about this." β
"Heyβit's really unfortunate for the family," Liu Xingzhen sighed in his heart.
Liu Xingzhen turned to look at Liu Xingfu and said, "Second brother, this person can't move, you go and tear off his face towel." β
"This ......"
Liu Xingfu's heart can be said to be cold for most of the time.
He still can't believe it, but he can't believe the facts in front of him.
He suddenly regretted it, because he had discovered his grandson's movements as early as ten years ago, and the servant who placed him next to his grandson had reported that Liu Zhaolang had a large amount of gold and silver and didn't know where to spend it, he didn't think much about it at that time and thought that his grandson was using money to fill in some holes, after all, the other party had not done this kind of thing before, otherwise why did those complaints pile up, and Liu Zhaolang is still at large.
The further he went, the slower Liu Xingfu's footsteps became.
It seems that as long as he doesn't take the initiative to tear off the man's mask, his grandson's affairs have not yet come to light, and there will still be room for life.
But Li Miaozhen can't stand it anymore, is it difficult to deny it when the matter comes?
Ignoring her grandfather's resistance, she rushed forward and directly ripped off the masked man's face scarf, she didn't know this person, so she turned around and asked, "Who is this?"
Suddenly feeling that there was no momentum in saying this, Li Miaozhen raised her chin and said firmly: "This person must be inseparable from that Liu Zhaolang!"
"Alas~" Liu Xingzhen said helplessly: "Miaozhen, come here, don't get involved in this matter anymore!"
Liu Chaoge was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, he glanced at Xu Cao, smiled at Liu Xingfu and said, "Second uncle, if I remember correctly, this person is the steward next to Liu Zhaolang, right?"
Liu Xingfu sighed in his heart for the first time he saw Xu Cao, and he couldn't wait to directly scratch Xu Cao's face.
But at this point, he only wants to save his grandson's life, after all, his son has long lost his ambition to be idle all day long, and his grandson is outstanding among his peers, and he should be the next head of the Liu family.
Liu Xingfu's eyes changed, and he frantically rummaged in his heart for a solution.
I saw him leaning over and whispering: "Family master, there should be another hidden reason in this matter, I think it is this person who has been bewitching my grandson all day long, and it is because of this situation that this situation has been caused." β
Liu Chaoge still looked at him with a smile on his face, and looked at him with a smile in his heart, so he had to continue to lower his head and say: "Family master! Zhao Lang is your nephew, and the blood relationship is unbreakable." β
Liu Chaoge's smile quickly faded, and he said with a cold face: "Bloodline feelings?"
He walked in front of Liu Xingfu step by step, and asked word by word: "I am a dying person, and I am not angry when he makes a move on me." But where did your good grandson ever talk about blood in my daughter?"
"Bring someone in for me!"
A wind rushed into the bedroom, and a young man was carried and thrown in like a chicken.
Before everyone could see the man's man's face under his head, they saw him crawling to Liu Xingfu's feet, and the ghost cried wolf: "Grandpa, save me, I was wrong!"
"Hmph!" Li Miaozhen looked at Liu Zhaolang's slugging ghostly appearance, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed that he was frightened by the viciousness of the other party when he discussed killing people.
I thought it was the big villain in the novel who didn't recognize the six relatives, but I didn't expect it to be a guy who would only kneel and beg for mercy after doing evil, which made Li Miaozhen have no joy after the victory of the big battle after the conspiracy was poked by himself.
Liu Xingfu looked at Liu Zhaolang, who was arrested, as if he had been struck by lightning, and realized in his heart that this fact was difficult to be good.
He tugged at Liu Chaoge's sleeve and shouted, "Liu Chaoge! What do you want to do? Do you really want to kill my grandson?"
"Ahh
He turned to lie at Liu Chaoge's feet, hugged the other party's thighs and begged for mercy: "Uncle, I was wrong, you can spare your nephew this time." β
Liu Xingfu hated that iron could not become steel, and said angrily: "Zhaolang, you get up for me, you can tell me why you were bewitched by that Xu Cao." β
"Huh?" After being pulled up by Liu Xingfu, Liu Zhaolang didn't immediately react to the hidden meaning of his grandfather's words, and waited until the other party gave him a few glances before he opened his mouth and cried: "Yes, I was indeed bewitched by Xu Cao, a slut, otherwise how could I do such a thing." β
Liu Xingfu's eyes flickered and looked at Liu Chaoge, and then turned his head to look at everyone present, only to feel that everyone was waiting for his performance with a sarcastic look.
He clenched his teeth, and said with a painful face: "Chaoge, you also heard it, it is indeed Zhaolang who was bewitched by this Xu Cao, the elders of the family are gathered here, I can assure you that Liu Zhaolang will never fight for the position of the head of the family in the future, what do you think?"
Liu Chaoge sneered and said seriously: "What if I give up the position of the head of the family to your grandson? Can it be compared to my daughter?"
He patted Liu Xingfu on the shoulder and said indifferently: "Second uncle, until now you haven't understood why I did this." β
Liu Chaoge's gaze shifted and fell on Li Miaozhen, who seemed to pin his worries and thoughts on her daughter, and slowly spoke: "When I realized that my life was not long, I was most worried about my daughter, but you just wanted to move her!!"
Liu Chaoge frowned coldly, and the divine light in his eyes shone directly at Liu Zhaolang, who was shrinking behind Liu Xingfu, and said with a sigh: "Liu Jiaerlang shouldn't be like this, how could a cold-blooded beast like you come out?"
He took a step forward, approached Liu Zhaolang, and said slowly as if he had been sentenced to death: "I didn't kill your sister the first time, and you still want to kill the second time, you say, why do I want to spare your life?"
The ruthlessness in Liu Xingfu's heart rose, he took a step forward to separate Liu Chaoge, and hissed: "If you want to use the family rules to dispose of your family, you must get the consent of half of all the family members who have the right to enter the ancestral hall, and you can't touch him now." β
Liu Chaoge tilted his head, walked to the table on the side, picked up the teacup and poured it violently.
He was already tired, and sometimes he was not happy to be the head of the house, because he always had to tell people the rules.
He casually picked up the long sword that had been prepared on the table and walked back to Liu Xingfu step by step.
"Since there are rules, then everyone should follow them. β
Liu Xingfu originally thought of retreating and quietly retracted his steps, he smiled and nodded: "That's right, family master." β
He wanted to tell Liu Chaoge that you are the head of the family, and you should abide by the family rules the most.
Liu Chaoge didn't pay any attention to Liu Xingfu anymore, but turned his head to look at the others who had been standing silently on the side.
"Uncle, I want to kill Liu Zhaolang, can you agree?"
"Third uncle, I want to kill Liu Zhaolang, can you agree?"
......
After all the time, everyone looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.
In fact, in this case, if you want to say who is most willing, it is actually the third uncle Liu Xingshan, because Liu Chaoge really killed Liu Zhaolang, then his grandson Liu Zhaoling's chances are much greater.
But no one wants to see such a bloody ending in person, and they subconsciously feel that it is better for Liu Chaoge to lock up Liu Zhaolang first and then find an opportunity to kill him than to kill him in front of everyone now.
After all, human nature is always used to playing on the dark side.
"I agree !!"
"Shut up!"
Li Miaozhen really couldn't stand such an unbearable silence tonight, but as soon as the words came out, they were immediately blocked.
Liu Chaoge looked at Li Miaozhen kindly and said with a smile: "I didn't think you would agree, I just wanted to ask Wei Ruitong if she agreed." β
Li Miaozhen broke free from her grandfather's obstruction and said softly: "Uncle Liu, Wei Rui is not here, but I think I can represent her, so I agree." β
"Hmph, you dare to !!" Liu Xingfu was not calm.
"Whoaβ"
"Whew-"
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded.
The silver light appeared like a water snake, and the blood surged like boiling soup.
No one expected that Liu Chaoge, who didn't seem to be able to do it, would finally do it.
Even the people of the Xishan Lin family, who were hiding in the shadows, did not expect that Liu Chaoge, who looked sick and powerless, would actually be a third-grade sword cultivator.
After the extreme sword drawing style, three human heads fell to the ground.
"Ahh
The surprised words were swallowed into his stomach, and Liu Xingzhen couldn't imagine that the head of the family, who was usually more lenient than the law, would be so resolute not to leave a way back for himself.
"Hey, Chaoge, why are you so troubled? β
Liu Chaoge put his sword into the sheath, looked around at everyone with a cold and casual gaze, and didn't even glance at who the head that rolled down to his feet was.
I saw him whisper: "They should die, even if they don't come to me tonight, I will kill them, as long as anyone dares to threaten my daughter, it will be this fate." β
When everyone heard this, except for Li Miao's sincere admiration and admiration, the rest of the people were shocked and shivered.
Suddenly, the night became darker with blood.
Liu Chaoge looked at his family, and the coldness in his eyes was mixed with a little sadness for no reason.
