Chapter 108: Tyranny
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and this night was destined to be an unusual night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The night at the palace was quiet, as usual, uneventful, but no one knew what undercurrents were hidden beneath the surface of tranquility.
Completely different from the palace, in the mansion closest to it, at this time, there was singing and dancing, and the slightest vocal music came from the room in the center of the palace, and the faint whimper was very ecstatic.
This is the unique rhythm of Penglai country, the music is around the ears, with a little girl's feelings, as if singing the beauty and peace of the mountains and rivers, telling the beautiful throbbing that belongs to the cardamom years in the heart.
In the main seat of the room sat a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated figure, and the mahogany chair was unusually thin against the background of his fat body, and it was quite crumbling.
But he didn't seem to know what was going on in his presence, or he didn't fear that he would fall out of his chair and sit on it with his eyes closed.
One hand rests casually on his thigh, beating to the tune, and the other hand rests on the side of the table, supporting the table beside him, looking relaxed.
This person is the head of the palace guards, responsible for the security inside and outside the palace, and has been in this position for nearly thirty years, and can be regarded as an old man by the emperor's side.
At the same time, he is also a member of the Rebellion Demon Domain, following the arrangement of the Demon Lord, and has been buried in Penglai City so far, and what is true to his mission is that he has become one of the few trustworthy people in the current emperor.
He is Pang Yuan, who is regarded by the ministers as a man with a smiling iron guard.
The reason for this is that no matter who he faces, he will put a simple smile on his plump face, which makes a good impression on everyone, and he has sabotaged dozens of murders against His Majesty and killed countless cultivators in the past few decades.
So he won the favor of the ministers and the trust of the emperor.
Thanks to this, he was also the only one who was granted the right to open a palace near the palace.
In the words of His Majesty, it is my iron guard by the side, and I can sleep soundly until the end.
It can be seen from this that his status in His Majesty's heart is high and his role is great.
But as it is often said, the person who betrays you is often the one you trust the most.
Not because people who are emotionally distant don't have the opportunity to do things that are rebellious, but because people who don't trust them can't talk about betrayal at all.
It is easy for Pang Yuan to betray His Majesty now, I am afraid that it is much easier than drinking porridge.
Who would have thought that he would be a person from the Rebellion Demon Domain? Who would have thought that in order to make a difference at that moment, he would be buried for decades, and he would work hard.
A few months ago, when he clearly knew that his mission was coming to an end, there was no sorrow or joy in his heart, and he was not grateful to His Majesty for his promotion, because he knew that if he made a big mistake one day, His Majesty would also remove him from his official position to the end;
As a 'demon', he lives up to his name, as the commander of the palace guards, he is dutiful, but at this time, he is like a barrel of ignited gunpowder, which will explode in an instant.
Slowly opened a pair of eyes that looked inconspicuous on the fat face, and the whites of the eyes could clearly see the bloodshot Dao, which was extremely terrifying.
His fiery gaze quickly scanned the room, looking for prey that pleased him.
A woman who plays the piano, a girl who plays the flute, and a girl who has a clear singing voice......
Staring at the past one by one, the greed in his eyes was no longer concealed, and the corners of Pang Yuan's mouth gradually cracked, full of lewd smiles.
These women were carefully selected by the people he sent, not only are they beautiful, but they are all skilled in their skills, and they are by no means those useless 'vases'.
For women, he has always had high requirements, and now that he is in a high position, he has come into contact with more women, and he is even more demanding about them.
Just being good-looking is not enough to arouse his desires, and a rare talent like this is what he wants to hunt now.
As his lustful gaze swept over them, cracks quickly appeared in the perfect performance.
The hand playing the piano plucked the wrong string because of the trembling, and the sound of the flute leaked, and the beautiful guttural sound was out of tune with the discordant high notes......
Everything became chaotic in an instant, the acting was shattered, like a turning gear stuck, and the movements of several women stopped abruptly, and they all lowered their heads, standing in front of Pang Yuan and shivering, silent.
"Why did you all stop? Did I tell you to stop?" Pang Yuan's small eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked at them coldly with a concentrated light, and said in a deep voice.
After hearing his words, several women trembled even more, almost unable to stand on their legs, lowered their heads and glanced at each other, and then immediately knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted urgently: "Please spare your life, please spare your life." ”
"It's okay, don't you see I'm not angry yet, get up, as long as you serve me comfortably tonight, I will naturally spare your life. Pang Yuan forcibly made his tone gentle, and said softly with a faint smile on his face.
It's just that there is always some hypocrisy in the ears, which makes people who don't know why even more panicked and uneasy.
"Please let us go, we just want to make more money for our family, and we don't want to sell ourselves, I beg you to let us go, and we are willing to return the money. The woman who had just sung her voice was prostrate on the ground, pleading with a yellow oriole accent, her slender body trembling slightly, only to feel that as the words came out, her soft tongue was slowly becoming stiff, and even she didn't know if what she said could be heard by outsiders.
When the other women heard this, they all nodded, hoping that the senior official sitting on the top would let them go.
"That's what you all mean?" Pang Yuan, known as the 'Smiling Iron Guard', lost his smile on his fertile face at this time, looked at them one by one, and asked expressionlessly.
The women were silent as if they had acquiesced.
"In that case, then ......" Pang Yuan quickly stood up from the chair with a speed that did not seem like that of a fat man, walked towards them kneeling with square steps, and said slowly.
"I will fulfill you, and I will not get that money back. ”
Surprised, excited, and overjoyed......
As the second half of Pang Yuan's words fell, several women raised their heads, the expressions on their faces were different, but they all showed happiness and joy, it turned out that this big official was a good person, and they were still frightened before the loss, but they were afraid that their innocence would not be guaranteed.
After a short period of pleasure, several women did not forget to thank Pang Yuan for his great kindness, and kowtowed like garlic, very sincerely.
But it was precisely because they all lowered their heads that they didn't notice a trace of cruelty in Pang Yuan's eyes.
"My lord, when can we leave?" a woman asked in a voice like a mosquito after kowtowing, hesitated.
Pang Yuan followed the voice and turned his gaze to her and asked, "Are you busy?"
The woman cautiously raised her eyes to see his face, and after meeting his oppressive gaze, she immediately lowered her head with a pale face, and replied repeatedly: "No hurry, no hurry. ”
"I don't think you have the heart to stay, and there's no point in staying here. Pang Yuan smiled lightly and patted his broad palm, and the loud sound could be heard clearly even when he was outside the house.
It wasn't long before the sound of overlapping and uniform footsteps came, and there was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in. Pang Yuan said with a shy belly, one hand behind his back, and a pull on his collar with the other.
As the door was opened, I saw six men in heavy armor walking in, standing on their knees without glancing, looking at them suspiciously, clasping their fists at Pang Yuan.
"Drag a few of them out and kill them, bury them, remember, leave no traces. Pang Yuan pointed to the woman who was kneeling on the ground with his finger, and as his words became frightened, he commanded softly.
"Yes!" several men dressed as soldiers replied with expressionless faces, and immediately carried out the order given by Pang Yuan, each of them grabbed the back of a woman's neck collar, and left the door.
"My lord, didn't you promise us to let us live, how can you break your promise?" The woman who was dragged to the ground by the man behind her, and her buttocks were dragged on the ground, kicking her legs and struggling, looking at Pang Yuan with watery eyes begging, and screaming miserably.
"When did I say I was going to let you live?" Pang Yuan sneered and let out a breath from his nostrils, snorted coldly, and said, "I'm just saying to fulfill your wishes, isn't your wish to keep your innocence and reunite with your family?"
Several women nodded hurriedly when they heard this, looking anxious.
"Don't worry, when you are dead in a while, I will send someone to kill your family and send it to you, and as for the money, it will be regarded as a reward for these men of mine, and you say that I am very merciful. Pang Yuan looked down at them mockingly and said with a sneer.
After listening to what Pang Yuan said, several women were cold in their hands and feet, only to feel that their bodies had lost their temperature, their blood was not flowing, their eyes were looking ahead with empty eyes, and they let the man behind them drag and slide across the ground.
Suddenly, one of the women seemed to remember something, struggled hard, and actually broke her clothes, so she also broke away from the control of the man behind her, stumbled in front of Pang Yuan, slumped on the ground, and pulled his trouser leg and said bitterly: "My lord, I agree to your request, as long as you are willing to let our family go, let me do anything." ”
"Is anything really okay?"
"Really, as long as you let my family go. Seeing that Pang Yuan's tone was loose, the woman's eyes burst with hope.
"Slut, do you dare to negotiate terms with me?" Pang Yuan's originally calm face changed suddenly, and he kicked the woman in the abdomen in anger, kicking her more than three meters away, and only stopped when she hit the door.
"Say yes now?...... Besides, I'm not interested in a woman like you who has no connotation. ”
Pang Yuan glanced faintly and turned away, leaving only the woman curled up on the ground, moaning in pain...... (To be continued.) )
