Chapter 20 Catching a turtle in an urn
As soon as the words fell, a loud bang was heard under his feet, and the entire floor of the house collapsed, and a group of more than ten people were not spared, and all fell into the pit. The pit is more than one zhang deep, the four walls are smooth, for mortals, except for stacking Arhats and erecting ladders, it is impossible to climb up.
Wu Da is the boss after all, and he still has some brains, and the critical moment also made him think of this, and he hurriedly asked his subordinates to stack up Arhats, and he was the boss, of course, he had to run first, so he was the first to step on the shoulders of his subordinates and climb up. Since the house was completely underground, the doorway was the only exit. Wu Da had just grabbed the threshold, and he was about to escape, but before he had time to rejoice, he suddenly felt a cold neck, and a sword was already on his neck. Looking up, he was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and through the faint light of the stars and moon in the sky, he could clearly see the face of the sword-wielding man, it was none other than the Qingliang Hou they were going to assassinate.
Jiang Xiaobai knew that with Qin Shangtian's character, he would definitely not let him go, so he took the opportunity of renovating the Hou Mansion to let people dig this deep pit secretly. During this time, the three of them took turns on duty, and at night they focused on inspecting his bedroom, just now they were on duty by Fengyu, and after discovering them, they went to inform Jiang Xiaobai, and they were going to call Fengyan, but Jiang Xiaobai saw that he was already in a deep position, and he didn't respond after calling twice, and it seemed that he had reached the critical moment of clearing the air, so he left him behind, and only brought Fengyu here.
Jiang Xiaobai squatted down, tore off the face towel on Wu Da's face, saw that it was Wu Da, was slightly stunned, and then snorted coldly, and said: "Wu Da, I really didn't expect it to be you! Last time, Ben Hou spared you from dying, I thought you would repent and reform yourself, but I didn't expect to dare to run to assassinate Ben Hou, it seems that you don't care about your life!"
Wu panicked and said, "Little Hou Ye, I misunderstood!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Misunderstanding? You won't tell Ben Hou that you came to the Hou Mansion so late to play a game with Ben Hou, right?"
Wu Da swallowed his saliva and said: "I'm not here to play a game, we just haven't seen the little Hou Ye for many days, and we are worried in our hearts, thinking that the little Hou Ye had an accident, so I visited late at night, but I didn't expect to disturb the little Hou Ye, and I also looked at the little Hou Haihan." ”
Jiang Xiaobai's face was expressionless, and said: "I didn't hear what you said just now, give you a chance to say it again, if you still make Ben Hou feel that you are lying, then the following paragraph is the last paragraph you said in your life, so you have to think about it and don't say the wrong thing again." ”
Wu Da didn't dare to doubt his words, after all, the master in front of him was a master who even a monk dared to kill, and he probably wouldn't even blink an eye if he killed him. Hurriedly said: "It was Qin Shangtian who asked me to kill you, I just acted on orders, and I couldn't help myself! At that time, I also persuaded him, I said that Hou Ye is not an ordinary person, and he can't do it casually, but he is a king who eats scales, and he is determined to let me do it, and I can't help it!"
Jiang Xiaobai sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's Qin Shangtian! It's a pity that he didn't come himself, but he made you a substitute for the dead ghost." ”
Wu Da hurriedly nodded and said: "Little Hou Ye Mingjian, I have indeed been used! There is a head of resentment, there is a debt, if the little Hou Ye wants to kill, he should also kill Qin Shangtian, killing us little characters will only dirty the little Hou Ye's sword!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Killing you will indeed dirty my sword!"
Wu Da thought he was going to let them go, and said happily: "What the little marquis said is that we are very dirty. Then he whispered tentatively: "Little Hou Ye, can we go back?"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes, you can go back, but not home, but back below." ”
Wu Da was puzzled and said, "Little Hou Ye, why is this?
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since it's the same, then you can go down! After dawn, the people from the government will come and take you home." ”
Wu Da hurriedly said: "Since the little marquis doesn't kill us, why don't you do it to the end and let us go?
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, you are not the mastermind, as long as your mouth is flexible, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”
Wu Da was not a fool, and immediately understood his intention, this was to make them confess the mastermind and sell Qin Shangtian, so that he could kill people with a knife!
Jiang Xiaobai said sharply: "Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate conditions with Ben Hou?"
Wu Da saw the murderous intent in his eyes, his heart trembled, he didn't dare to bargain anymore, and slid down the ladder again. However, he did not completely despair, because he still had a back hand, did not bring everyone in, and left a younger brother not far away to answer him, in case things changed.
This little brother was also alert, and when he heard the boom, he knew that something bad was wrong, and sneaked to the gate of the courtyard, and secretly spied on it, only to know that the boss had been captured alive, and he hurriedly retreated quietly.
The assassination of the little Hou Ye is not a trivial matter, Qin Shangtian did not dare to be careless, he was afraid that things would change, and he did not dare to sleep, so he was hiding not far from the Hou Mansion with more than ten people to respond, preventing Wu from being careless, so that the little Hou Ye ran away, and they could also intercept and kill at the first time.
As a result, Wu Da didn't wait, and the little marquis didn't wait, but he waited for Wu Da's younger brother. Seeing his panicked appearance, Qin Shangtian's heart sank, this was not a good sign.
This little brother ran all the way and ran in front of Qin Shangtian, already out of breath and out of breath. Qin Shangtian didn't give him a chance to breathe, and asked, "Why did you come back alone?"
The little brother gasped and said, "Young Master Qin...... Oh no...... Our boss missed...... I was caught in an urn. He roughly described what happened in the Hou Mansion.
Of course, Qin Shangtian was extremely shocked when he heard this, and he had a feeling that the sky was falling, if this group of people were killed by mistake, it would be fine, and it had nothing to do with him, which was also the reason why he used Wu Da to kill people. But he never expected that Wu Da would be so useless, more than a dozen people were captured alive by others, in other words, even if he caught a dozen pigs alive, he would have to be busy for a long time, and he might not be caught, maybe he would be bitten by pigs. This bunch of garbage is really not as good as pigs!
The assassination of Hou Ye is not a trivial matter, no one can afford this crime, if these people are sent to the city lord's mansion tomorrow, they will definitely sell him, with the relationship between his father and the city lord, I don't know if he can suppress this matter? If he can't suppress it, it will be a dead end!
Suddenly, he thought of Zuo Lan, who used to drink and have fun with him, but now he stayed at home, didn't even see his face, and was sick at home wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, Qin Shangtian's intestines are all repentant, no wonder Zuo Lan, as the son of the city lord, did not say a word after being humiliated so much, and would rather be sick than angry, it turns out that people are not nests, but stand high and see far away! Qingliang Hou is the important weapon of the country, how can ordinary people kill if they want to? The son of the dignified city lord can endure it, but his son of a small pavilion chief does not know the height of the sky, but he jumps vigorously, what is it that is not death?
Of course, people only think through when they regret it, and if he is given a chance to do it all over again, he will definitely do it. Isn't it just an outdated little marquis? Obviously he can't be killed, but he secretly kills it, just like killing an ant, who cares about his life or death?
Although Qin Shangtian regretted it, he didn't want to sit still, and before dawn, he must rescue Wu Da and them, saving them is equivalent to saving himself, so he was full of motivation, and without the slightest hesitation, he led more than ten people to rush towards the Hou Mansion.
