Chapter 14 Murder by a knife

Although Zuo Lan volunteered to be a scumbag, but the scum is also dignified, where has he been insulted like this since he was a child, and he is still in full view of everyone, after tonight, the entire Qingliang City will know, and his golden face will become worthless in a blink of an eye. If you don't breathe this out, I'm afraid you'll have to wear a mask even when you go shopping in the future.

After Jiang Xiaobai left, he hurriedly fled with his subordinates, not wanting to delay for a moment, and even Jiang Yiding's corpse was not collected.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Zuo Jingtian hadn't slept yet, and was sitting in the courtyard alone. It is impossible for him, the city lord, not to know about such a big thing happening in the city.

Zuo Lan ran in in a panic, came to Zuo Jingtian's side, and said, "Dad, it's not good, something is wrong." ”

Zuo Jingtian took a sip of wine, didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "What's wrong?"

Zuo Lan said: "Qinglianghou killed someone, and in Qiuxianglou, many people saw it." You quickly send some people over to arrest him, ordinary people are not good, they may not be able to beat him, you have to send a few more monks. ”

Zuo Jingtian put down the wine glass, stood up, turned around and looked at him directly, did not speak, but suddenly slapped him without any warning.

"Bang", crisp and loud.

Zuo Lan was stunned at once, and said hurriedly: "Dad, are you drunk?" It was Qinglianghou who killed someone, not me, why are you beating me?"

Zuo Jingtian shouted: "Bastard thing." It's because you've been drinking and confusing your brain every day all these years, right? I don't know whether it's alive or dead, is Qinglianghou the one you can arrest? Do you want to rebel and become the emperor? Don't say that he killed others, even if he killed you, he would die in vain!"

Zuo Lan hurriedly said: "But the prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people." Even if he is a cool marquis, can he bend the law for personal gain, disregard people's lives, and be lawless?"

Zuo Jingtian said: "Breaking the law, are you breaking the law or Qinglianghou breaking the law?"

Zuo Lan hurriedly said: "Dad, it seems that you have not figured it out and are angry, of course it is Qinglianghou who broke the law! I am a victim!" He pointed to his throat and said: "You see, he not only killed Jiang Yiding, but also stabbed me, the wound has not healed yet, it is bloody." "I just hate to show him the wound bigger.

Zuo Jingtian snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I am blind? You are so bold that you dare to let a monk kill mortals, don't you know that this is a capital crime? Fortunately, Qing Lianghou is fine, if something happens to him, even I can't protect you." ”

Zuo Lan panicked: "Wronged, Dad, it's that Jiang Yiding who made his own assertions, and he wants to find Qinglianghou desperately, I can't pull it!"

Zuo Jingtian waved his hand and said, "That's enough! This matter ends here, just treat it as if nothing happened, if you dare to go to Qinglianghou in private in the future, I won't be able to spare you." ”

Although Zuo Lan was aggrieved, he didn't dare to disobey, and lowered his head and whispered: "I know!"

Zuo Jingtian suddenly sighed lightly, softened his tone, and said: "Now the situation between the DPRK and China is unclear, the wind is treacherous, and many forces are ready to move, fighting openly and secretly, and the heads that fall every day are like scattering beans. As the so-called gods fight, the little ghosts suffer. We little people can't control the overall situation, we can only spy on the leopard, secretly speculate, and walk on thin ice every day, for fear of standing on the wrong team, and we don't even dare to say a word. It's good that you dare to provoke Qinglianghou at this time, although Qinglianghou is down, but after all, he is the first emperor and the imperial seal, and our attitude towards Qinglianghou is the attitude towards the imperial court. Do you know what kind of attitude you want from above? If you are not careful, the whole family will fall to the ground. From now on, you give me a little restraint, don't think how great you are, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!"

Zuo Lan suddenly felt empowered, nodded and said, "I know my father's difficulties, I bear it!"

Zuo Jingtian said "um" and said: "People who do big things don't have to do everything personally, you can bear it, but some people can't bear it." Don't worry, someone will help you out of this. ”

Zuo Lan was overjoyed and said, "Who?"

Zuo Jingtian said: "Qin Shangtian!"

Zuo Lan said: "Just because Qingliang Hou killed his family's guards, this little thing is not worth working hard, right?"

Zuo Jingtian said: "This is just what people outside see. According to the Qin family's secret report, Qin Shangtian suffered no less humiliation today than you, and even his sister was slapped by Qingliang Hou, and her face was swollen. Later, Qianzhuang reported that the account office of the Qin Mansion had taken out a thousand taels of gold in the afternoon, and after a while, Qinglianghou went to deposit another thousand taels of gold, and even the money bag did not change. Since Qingliang Hou likes to blackmail, presumably this thousand taels of gold was also extorted by him, and he didn't know what Qin Shangtian had in his hands. With Qin Shangtian's character, he will definitely not let go of Qinglianghou. ”

There is nothing happier for a miserable person than to meet someone who is even more miserable than him. Zuo Lan suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart, and said: "This Qingliang Hou was bitten by a mad dog today? No, tomorrow I must go to Xiting Mansion to have a good look, in case I wake up from sleep, Qin Shangtian's kid will be in trouble. ”

Zuo Jingtian shouted: "No! From tomorrow, you can't have any contact with Qin Shangtian, and from now on, Qinglianghou can't have anything to do with you, whether he is dead or alive." ”

After being reminded by him, Zuo Lan suddenly understood, nodded and said, "I know, Dad, from tomorrow onwards, I will stay in the house and chant poems and write against each other, read and write, and will not go anywhere." ”

Zuo Jingtian nodded and said, "Go back to sleep!"

Zuo Lan replied and retreated.

The next day, the sun was shining and the sky was blue.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion got up before dawn, and looked for someone to renovate the Hou Mansion in the city. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, those people looked down on the little marquis in the past, and after seeing the money, the uncle also became a grandson, pulling weeds, painting walls, painting, changing tiles and changing doors and windows, wave after wave, endlessly.

At noon, there were craftsmen everywhere inside and outside the Hou Mansion, each performing their duties and doing their jobs in full swing.

When the news reached Qin Shangtian's ears, his heart was broken, this was all his money! This loser's thing, if he loses in a few days, he will die! But then again, in his eyes, he will indeed die if he loses in a few days.

I learned about Qiu Xianglou last night, I didn't sleep all night with excitement, and finally met someone who hated the same enemy, not to mention that this person's background is not small, the son of the city lord, just send a few monks out to pinch that loser to death.

So he went to the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning, but to his surprise, the young master Zuo not only didn't see him, but didn't even let him in, saying that he was unwell and inconvenient to meet guests.

Qin Shangtian almost vomited blood, and scolded in his heart, but when he went home and thought about it for a long time, he was immediately relieved, thinking that it must be Zuo Lan's own identity, and he disdained to join forces with him, and was ready to shame himself, after all, such a big shame, even his pavilion chief's son couldn't bear it, let alone the son of the city lord?

But after waiting for a few days, the reputation of Young Master Zuo was spread on the street, but Young Master Zuo didn't react at all, and he was still sick at home. Qin Shangtian was a little depressed, and he couldn't figure it out, the son of the lord of a dignified city, was humiliated all over the city, and he didn't even think about revenge, and he still had the face to hide at home and get sick?

Height determines vision. He couldn't stand at Zuo Jingtian's height, so he didn't see as far as Zuo Jingtian. In his eyes, now he is going to kill the little marquis, if he can't kill him, he has to kill him secretly, anyway, he wants to kill him, even if Zuo Lan doesn't participate, he will die alone, otherwise this breath will be difficult to get rid of for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, his father stood at the same height as him, supported him very much, asked for money for money, asked for people to give people, and said unashamedly that he would stand up to him when the sky fell. People who don't know still think that the pavilion chief is the biggest official in the country.
