Chapter 865: The Moon is Black and the Wind is High (4)
"Forehead ......"
The strange silence didn't know how long it lasted, and a weak murmur suddenly sounded in the room filled with the smell of blood, which shocked Qin Wei's heart in a trance, and his chaotic consciousness gradually regained his consciousness.
When he brushed his sleeves to wipe the tears on his face, and stood up tremblingly against the wall, he saw Bai Jin's body in a pool of blood trembling uncontrollably, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his mouth and nose were constantly bleeding out with bursts of heart-palpitating wails.
"Money...... Mr. Qian ......"
Gradually hearing Bai Jin's muttering, Qin Wei, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, couldn't help but feel confused. When he slowly stepped forward to ask what was going on, a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Immediately after, Qin Wei's melancholy and confused eyes suddenly changed, and the irrepressible panic instantly overflowed in his heart.
"Not good!" Qin Wei thought to himself, "Brother Liu went and returned at the cost of his own life, the purpose was to avenge Zhao Yuan...... Although he did not kill me, he will not give up with his nature...... In Lin'an, except for me...... There is no one he hates more than Lord Qian......"
Thinking of this, Qin Wei could no longer care about the sorrow in his heart, and rushed to the dying Bai Jin with an arrow step, and asked urgently: "Where is Lord Qian?" He is very dangerous now, Liu Xunyi is very murderous, and he will definitely seek revenge on him!"
"The Emperor...... Royal Palace ......"
"That's right!" Under Bai Jin's reminder, the flustered Qin Wei suddenly realized, "Lord Qian was urgently summoned into the palace by the emperor, do you know when he will leave?"
Facing Qin Wei's questioning, Bai Jin slowly shook his head with a painful expression, and said intermittently: "The palace is on the way back to the Privy Council...... Easiest to ambush...... Send someone to answer ......"
"Yes, yes, but it's too late to send someone now, and I'm going to protect the adults myself. ”
In fact, what Qin Wei really cares about is not the life and death of Lord Qian, but his own future.
As everyone knows, Qin Wei's biggest backer at the moment is Lord Qian, he can be safe and sound in the turmoil in Dongfu, can sit firmly on the throne of the Lord of Tianji Pavilion under the difficulties of Lord Jia, can rise to the top in the turmoil of the imperial court, can sit on the throne, can sit on the throne, and enjoy the glory...... Everything is thanks to Lord Qian.
Once Lord Qian is killed, Qin Wei will be killed by the pond fish.
In this way, what is the promotion of officials and the future is bright...... Turning them all into a bubble, coupled with Lord Jia's obstruction, Qin Wei, who has become an "ownerless and lonely soul", must have ended up very miserable.
In this section, Qin Wei's heart is like a mirror. Therefore, he will never allow anyone to ruin his good future, let alone allow his hard-won glory and wealth to come to naught overnight.
Even if...... That man was his dearest brother from childhood to adulthood.
hurriedly agreed, Qin Wei, who was anxious, wanted to raise his feet and leave, but was unexpectedly dragged by Bai Jin to the corner of his clothes.
"Bai Jin, you ......"
"Save ...... Help me......"
Looking at the pitiful Bai Jin, who was begging for him, Qin Wei couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously retracted his steps, looked up and down at the dangerous Bai Jin with a meaningful gaze, groaned slightly, and slowly leaned over and squatted beside him.
"Are you in pain?"
Looking at Bai Jin's bloody belly, Qin Wei stretched out his hand and pressed it, and his five fingers felt warm and slippery. The sudden sharp pain made Bai Jin gasp, and his body twitched more and more violently.
"Lord Qin...... Please...... Help me......"
I don't know if it was the instinct to survive, or the severe pain was unbearable, the fierce and vicious Bai Jin burst into tears at this time, looking helpless and pitiful like a poor worm who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Lord Bai, you are Lord Qian's most trusted subordinate, and you are his first confidant......" Qin Wei's hand slowly moved up along Bai Jin's abdomen, "Although the official rank is not high, the real power is very great, Qin Mou...... Very envious. Lord Qian has been an official for many years, has used countless people, abandoned countless people, and killed countless people, but he has a soft spot for you and has always kept you by his side. No matter what difficulties you encounter, Lord Qian has never thought of abandoning you, let alone using you as bait. Compared with you, Qin's status in Lord Qian's heart ...... It's not worth mentioning at all. ”
Hearing this, Bai Jin's heart felt a sense of foreboding, and his eyes became more and more uneasy when he looked at Qin Wei.
"Lord Qin, actually...... Lord Qian believes in you very much...... I also see you as a confidant......"
"With you, my position in Lord Qian's heart...... Always number two. As for this, Qin Wei's right hand passed through Bai Jin's chest without hurry, and slowly choked his throat, "Lord Bai and I have known each other for a long time, and I should have some understanding of Qin's personality, I have always only liked to be the first, not the second." ”
"Qin Wei...... What do you want to do?"
Seeing Qin Wei hiding a knife in his smile, a cold light appeared in his eyes, Bai Jin was terrified, at this moment he couldn't care about the weakness of his body, and desperately struggled to crawl towards the door, wanting to escape from Qin Wei's clutches.
It's a pity that under Qin Wei's hard work, Bai Jin, who had already exhausted his strength, couldn't move at all.
"Lord Bai is my old friend, and he will definitely be willing to fulfill me. ”
"No, I'm old and I'm young...... Please...... Please don't kill me......"
"Don't worry, your wife and children, I will take good care of them as if they were my own family. Lord Bai, you can go in peace!"
"No! I beg you to ......"
"Click!"
Without waiting for Bai Jin to cry and beg bitterly, Qin Wei, who was determined to kill, had a ruthless look in his eyes, pinched his five fingers hard, and with the sound of a broken neck bone, Bai Jin's screams stopped abruptly, and the last wisp of vitality passed quickly from his eyes, and all that was left was unwillingness and despair.
"If a man is not for himself, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. If you don't die for a day, I can't become Lord Qian's henchman for a day. Lord Bai, don't blame me for being ruthless, only blame ...... You're out of luck. ”
"Master Hou!"
Just as Qin Wei was looking at Bai Jin's corpse with a lot of thoughts, a hurried shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Mao led dozens of Golden Sword Captains to rush into the courtyard with torches, and when they saw the corpses and pools of blood all over the ground, they were all frightened, their faces were shocked, and they hurriedly kowtowed to Qin Wei to admit their mistakes.
"I'm too late for the protector to come, I hope the marquis will forgive my sins!"
"Just ...... Liu Xunyi has been here, not only killing many of our colleagues in Tianji Pavilion, but also killing Bai Jin, the waiter in Xifu, if it weren't for Ben Hou's desperate resistance, I'm afraid that I would have died in Jiuquan. ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
"Master Hou, Liu Xunyi ...... him"
"These people in the courtyard are alive and dead, you leave a few people to clean up the mess, and the rest come with me!"
Qin Wei was worried about the safety of Lord Qian, so he had no time to entangle with Chu Mao and the others, so he gave an absent-minded order, and then strode towards the outside of the courtyard.
......
Heaven and earth are like ink, and they are as quiet as death.
At the time, outside the gate of the palace, a sedan chair and a carriage were quietly waiting for their respective owners.
Not far away, twenty or thirty stubbornly dressed men stood as straight as guns, and these guards came from two different places, one was the Prime Minister's Mansion and the other was the Privy Council.
The guards on both sides stood in two rows like swords and axes, only a few meters apart, looking at each other without saying a word.
"Hehe, tonight in front of the Holy One, there is Lord Lao Jia who speaks well for the old decay, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"Hey! I am an official in the same dynasty as Lord Qian, and I should be of one heart and one mind, and support each other, so that we can share the emperor's worries and solve problems for the imperial court. ”
Just now, the emperor also said that only when the eastern and western governments live in harmony can the imperial court, the Great Song Dynasty, and the common people be blessed. ”
"The emperor is far-sighted, often in one sentence. ”
"The emperor just mentioned Liu Xunyi...... There is something that Lao Yu just wants to ask Master Jia for advice. ”
"What?"
"I heard that the old man heard...... Today, someone took Master Jia's handwritten letter to Lin'an Mansion and rescued the four members of the Pan family from the cell......"
"Even if Lord Qian doesn't ask, I have to mention this matter, so as not to misunderstand. It's not that the official deliberately sang against the West Mansion, but it was really inappropriate for the Lin'an Mansion to take down the four members of the Pan family. There are many rumors in the market, which are very detrimental to the majesty of the court and the government. I know that Xifu wants to use the Pan family to lure out Liu Xunyi, but after all, we are officials of the imperial court, not robbers and bandits, how can we wrongfully accuse four innocent people for the purpose of arresting a Qin criminal?
"What Master Jia said is very true, this matter is ...... It's the people below who don't think about it, and they will be punished heavily after the old man goes back. ”
"Lord Qian understands the righteousness, and this official will thank you for the Pan family and the people of Lin'an!"
"Oh! Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! Lord Jia is now a first-class official, how dare the lower officials trespass?"
Before I knew it, it was the middle of the night again, and the official was already sleepy and tired, and he just wanted to go back and sleep soundly. Lord Qian must be tired too, why don't you go back and rest earlier?"
"That's very good, old man Gong to Lord Jia!"
"Lord Qian, please!"
"Lord Jia, please first!"
"Haha......"
With a burst of false flattery and greetings, the tired Lord Jia and Lord Qian walked out of the palace gate side by side, and the two of them talked and laughed as if no one was in front of the guards, and then Lord Jia got into the sedan chair, and Lord Qian boarded the carriage, one to the east and the other to the west, walking away from each other.
"Xiangye!"
When the palanquin left the palace about three miles away, a dark shadow suddenly burst out from the corner of the street, and the guards saw his face clearly before they let him approach.
"Yu Ge, you are not guarding the people of the Pan family in Dongcheng, what are you doing here?" The sedan curtain lifted a corner, and Lord Jia's slightly displeased voice quietly came out.
"Xiangye, Liu Xunyi reversed course and threatened Jia Fu to force us to let go of the four members of the Pan family, but now they are nowhere to be found. Yu Ge replied timidly.
"What?" Lord Jia's eyes changed, and he said angrily, "Useless things! What are you doing?"
"We ......"
"That's it!" As soon as Yu Ge spoke, Master Jia suddenly waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't care about the people of the Pan family first, where is Liu Xunyi?"
"He went to the Tianji Pavilion just now, and now he is ......" At this point, Yu Ge cautiously looked left and right, so as to lower his voice and booed in reply, "Ambush on the way back to the Privy Council from the palace." ”
"Got it. Seeing that Liu Xunyi didn't break his promise, Lord Jia couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice, "Continue to keep an eye on him, but don't be discovered, especially the people from Xifu." ”
"Understood!"
"When he succeeds, he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and do it cleanly. This time, there must not be any mistakes, otherwise you will see you. ”
"Yes!"
