Chapter 55: Master and Servant
As Yu Zhanlong's righteous son, Liu Chong still has a considerable reputation on the road of Yuzhou City.
Therefore, on the second day of Liu Chong's killing, as soon as the news of his death came out, it immediately caused the entire Yuzhou City to shake.
Whether it is the ordinary people in the streets and alleys, or the hooligans and gangsters in the market, or the people of the gangs in the rivers and lakes on the various roads, they all talked about this matter.
And it was none other than the two attendants who killed Liu Chong after betraying Liu Chong.
The reason why they did this was because they knew in their hearts that Liu Chong's death could not be concealed no matter what.
When the time comes, if Yu Tang mainly pursues it, the first target must be them, the attendants or subordinates around Liu Chong.
Instead of being questioned and investigated by Hall Master Yu at that time, it is better to take the initiative to reveal this news by creating some illusions of panic now, so as not to make Hall Master Yu suspicious of them.
At this time, in the hall of the Yu Mansion, Yu Zhanlong's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water, his eyes were like swords and he looked at the two kneeling attendants in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that it was the two of you who first found Liu Chong's body?"
The two attendants were so forced by Yu Zhanlong's momentum that they didn't dare to raise their heads, they just nodded slightly, and replied at the same time: "Yes!"
Yu Zhanlong asked again: "As far as I know, Liu Chong first vomited black blood from the poison in his body, and then was killed by someone who cut his throat with a sharp weapon.
And during the period when Liu Chong took poison until he was poisoned, and then he was wiped out, you, as attendants... Where were you? Why weren't you with Liu Chong at that time?"
Every word Yu Zhanlong said brought a heavy sense of oppression, and the two attendants couldn't help but shudder when they heard it, and one of them gritted his teeth and replied, "Go back to the hall master."
In fact, since the young master lost his authority as a speaker because of the incident in Anding Street, his mood has become very bad, and he only thinks about going outside to borrow wine to kill his sorrows all day long.
Moreover, he also ordered that we, the people of the present, should not follow him. So none of us were there for him.
And just last night, we stayed in the mansion all night and didn't see the young master come back, and we began to worry about whether something would happen.
Then we went out early this morning to inquire outside, and some of the brothers said that yesterday they saw the young master go out of the city alone.
So we went outside the city to inquire and search, and at last we found the young master in a small forest......"
In fact, these two attendants had already thought of all the strategies for dealing with them before they came to Yufu.
Including all the questions that Yu Zhanlong may ask, they have prepared sufficient answers in advance.
They knew that this Hall Master Yu was very thoughtful, and if he didn't prepare in advance, he would easily miss the filling. Therefore, on the basis of fabricating facts, they even mixed some real information into them, with the intention of confusing the truth and concealing the truth.
After Yu Zhanlong listened to the attendant's narration, his face became even more gloomy.
He never expected that he deliberately left Liu Chong's life in the last Anding Street incident, thinking that one day Liu Chong would have more use value, but just a month later, he suddenly died, and he died at the hands of others!
Seeing that the hard work he had cultivated for more than ten years was suddenly gone, and he had not received any compensation, even if Yu Zhanlong's endurance was good, he had already ignited the anger in his heart at this time.
He looked at the two kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Hearing you say this, you really don't have any responsibility for this matter."
You can do this, and finding Liu Chong's body with such diligence can be regarded as fulfilling the feelings of master and servant.
Liu Chong is under Jiuquan, I am afraid that he will also be pleased with this. ”
When the two attendants heard Yu Zhanlong say this, their hearts were suddenly overjoyed, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with their careful preparation, even someone as deep as Hall Master Yu was concealed by them.
However, at the next moment, Yu Zhanlong said again: "Since you are so loyal to Liu Chong, you must not be able to bear to see him alone and alone below, right?"
After hearing this, the two of them frowned, and they didn't quite understand what Yu Zhanlong meant by this.
"What do you mean, Hall Master Yu?" one of the attendants asked softly.
Yu Zhanlong said: "I mean, I hope you can continue to serve Liu Chong, lest he be too lonely alone!"
As soon as the words landed, before the two attendants could react, Yu Zhanlong put his hands on the necks of the two, and with a little force, he heard the sound of "click", and in an understatement, the necks of the two had already been broken.
The two attendants didn't even have a chance to react, and their lives were taken in an instant!
Yu Zhanlong casually threw the two corpses on the ground, and his originally gloomy face eased a little.
In fact, the reason why he killed people was not because he saw anything greasy in it, but because the anger in his heart was really unbearable, so he wanted to vent it.
At this time, Yuan Qian, the head of Yuan, walked in from outside, and when he saw the two corpses that fell to the ground, he was slightly stunned at first, but then he quickly came back to his senses and said calmly: "Master, I haven't seen you kill yourself for a long time...... It seems that this time the death of the young master is really a big blow to you!"
Yu Zhanlong sighed softly and said, "Yes... It's been years since I've tried to be so annoyed as I am today......"
Immediately he asked, "What? Do you have something to tell me?"
Yuan Qian nodded and said, "It's Ye Tianyun who is here." I said you were meeting other guests in the hall right now, so I told him to wait in the council hall......"
"Ye Qianyun?"
Yu Zhanlong's eyebrows tightened, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "Since they have already come, then I will go and meet him!"
At this time, Ye Tianyun was sitting in the council hall, and after seeing Yu Zhanlong's appearance, he even saluted the latter.
"Master ...... Yu Tang"
Yu Zhanlong hummed lightly and said, "Say, you will come to my house, what is the matter?"
Ye Qianyun made another gesture and said, "I just heard the news that the young master Liu Chong was unfortunately killed yesterday, and I am very shocked by this.
Therefore, I thought of coming to the Yu Mansion to persuade the hall master to mourn by the way, and to see if there was anything I could help with, so that I could do my best. ”
Ye Tianyun showed a sincere look, and continued: "Although there were some misunderstandings and estrangements between me and the young master before, no matter what, he and I have always been brothers.
Now that he is under the Nine Plains, I still hope that he can go all the way......"
Yu Zhanlong smiled faintly, patted Ye Tianyun's shoulder, and said, "After all, it's you, Ye Tianyun, who understands things......
Liu Chong, this kid is too high-spirited, too small-minded, and doesn't know anything about how to deal with people, so he often offends people. Now that he has been harmed by others, I am afraid it is also because of this.
I also blame my father-in-law for his lack of discipline on weekdays, so he caused today's catastrophe. ”
Yu Zhanlong shook his head, sighed, and said, "Falling clouds...... Now that Liu Chong is gone, I can be said to be missing a confidant and an arm. In the future, I am afraid that you will be the only available talent that I can entrust with important tasks! In the future, there may be a lot of important matters in the Nantang that need to be handled by you!"
Ye Tianyun hugged his fists and said, "Lord Yu Tang is serious. Since I'm a member of Nantang, I don't want to go to the soup to fight the fire, so why bother?"
Yu Zhanlong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay... Good... Well, I am very pleased to have your words. I believe that as long as we work together in the future, even if there are these turmoil and changes, it will not hinder our career development. ”
"Yes, Hall Master!"
However, at this moment, the two people who seemed to be talking sincerely, there was a sharp cold light in their eyes at the same time, and it was fleeting......
