The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1971 It turns out to be him
When the fire was gradually suppressed, the housekeeper walked up to Feng Jiuxiao and said, "Sir, the fire is almost out. The entire ancestral hall is destroyed. All the tablets have been burned."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's destroyed, it's destroyed. If the tablets are gone, it's even more... if they're gone, then it's gone. Even if there's no fire, don't we have to move these tablets away?"

The housekeeper laughed dryly: "Yes!"

The owner of the house has changed, so the tablets of the old owner must be cleaned up!
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Where is the operating room?"

The housekeeper was shocked and thought: You even know this? But then he thought, this young man is from the Imperial City Department of the Great Song Dynasty, so it’s not surprising that he knows this. So he immediately spread his right hand and said, "Sir, please follow me!" He then said to the servants and maids, "After cleaning up the scene, everyone can rest. I will come back to check later!"

The servants and maids clearly showed resentment on their faces, but wherever the butler looked, they all looked indifferent, as if they were not displeased at all!
Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "They seem to be very dissatisfied with you!"

The housekeeper was startled, then he sighed and said, "There is no other way, I can only play the bad guy!" He thought: It seems that this young man is not very satisfied with himself, he must have discovered that those people are not convinced of him!

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiuxiao said: "You seem to be a very serious steward! Only those who dare to offend others are qualified managers!"

The butler was a little nervous and uneasy: "Sir, you are too kind!" But in fact, he was secretly happy in his heart!
In this way, he gained the trust of the new master and his position as butler was secured!

Feng Jiuxiao thought: If these people obey you, then the master would dare to use you! Only by using such people with weak mass base to control the masses can the master sleep well! Although this mentality is a bit dark, it is very practical.

Since those servants and maids have been working for the Liu family for many years, it is inevitable that they have acquired some bad habits. Give them a chance to choose, those who are willing to leave can leave, and those who are willing to stay can stay. As long as they are still willing to stay, it means that they have been brainwashed by the Liu family and have no clear sense of right and wrong. There is no need to talk about sympathy for such people, just let the housekeeper restrain them.

The housekeeper led Feng Jiuxiao to a mansion, entered the house, opened the secret door hidden behind the bookcase, and entered the dreaded Liu family operating room!
The area inside was not small. There were two wooden beds in the middle of the room. They were covered with bloodstains. I don't know how many people had left them there! There were countless iron chains hanging from the roof. Some of them had iron rings welded to the bottom, and some had iron hooks welded to the bottom. It seemed that they were used to hang people!

The walls are covered with various surgical tools, including knives, tweezers, pliers, hammers, axes...

Looking at the bloodstains on it, imagining the scene of a hammer breaking the leg bones, an axe chopping off the arms, a knife cutting open the belly, and a pliers pulling out the toenails... Feng Jiuxiao felt a little uncomfortable, but then recovered as usual!
The bloody smell in the room was not strong, but rather had a faint scent of chrysanthemums. It seemed that Liu Si often used spices in the room to cover up the bloody smell.

The floor is also very clean and seems to be washed frequently.

There were two cages in the corner, and there was a person trapped in each cage.

Feng Jiuxiao walked over and saw a girl in the cage on the left. She was almost naked and covered with scars. She must have been whipped! The girl looked at Feng Jiuxiao in horror and shrank back, as if she was afraid that Feng Jiuxiao would get close to her! Feng Jiuxiao sighed, "Don't be afraid, the Liu family is dead, no one will hurt you anymore!"

He looked at the cage on the right again. There was actually a young Taoist priest in it. He was only wearing shorts. If it weren't for his neat hair, you wouldn't have known he was a Taoist priest! There was almost no intact skin on his body. In addition to the marks left by the whipping, there were also many branding marks! It seemed that he had suffered even more torture! Damn Liu family!

The Taoist priest was also sober. He saw Feng Jiuxiao coming to the cage, with only disdain in his eyes!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Master, please don't misunderstand me, I am not from the Liu family, I am here to save you!"

The Taoist priest sneered, "Don't try that! You used this trick last month! You pretended to come to rescue me, and once I believed you, you captured me again and deliberately provoked me. Do you think I have such a bad memory? You're still using this trick? Kill me if you want!"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Who is he?"

The housekeeper said, "He is a Taoist priest from the Eight Immortals Palace in Chang'an."

"How did he end up here?"

“I don’t know the details!”

"What about this girl?"

"She is Shaoyao, and her sister Haitang is the woman of Mr. Liu II."

"Liu Er's wife?"

"No."

"lover?"

"Cough cough..."

Feng Jiuxiao stared at the housekeeper, "You forcibly took the girl?"

The butler lowered his head!

Feng Jiuxiao suddenly thought of the girl with the resentful eyes outside the ancestral hall, "Does Haitang have a mole between her eyebrows?"

The housekeeper was startled: "Master, do you know Haitang?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I don't know him, but I have seen him before."

The housekeeper was a little surprised: "You have seen it? No way?"

"Among the group of people fighting the fire, was Haitang?"

The butler tried to recall, frowning and said, "It seems... there is no one among the people who put out the fire... But... I seem to have seen Haitang, she... seems to be..." The butler's eyes suddenly lit up, "She is in the crowd! But she doesn't seem to be involved in the firefighting, it seems... she has been standing there watching... Could it be..." The butler looked at Feng Jiuxiao with a strange look in his eyes: "Could it be that the fire is..."

Feng Jiuxiao interrupted immediately: "Let the two sisters go later!" He squeezed lightly, and the iron lock fell off, opening the cage door. "Go find your sister! Butler, help her put on your coat!"

The butler immediately responded, "Yes!" and took off his robe.

Feng Jiuxiao also opened the Taoist's iron lock, "Master, you can leave now!"

The girl and the Taoist priest both stared at Feng Jiuxiao, motionless.

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Throw the clothes to her and let her go if she wants. Let's go."

After the two left the secret room, they broke down the door so that the people inside could come out at any time.

"Butler, are there only so many people in the Liu family? Aren't they afraid that someone will break in in the middle of the night?"

"Hey, sir, we have quite a few bodyguards in our mansion, more than 40 of them. You saw them just now, but you dismissed them all. There are only three left."

"Given their level, just dismiss them. If a real expert comes, they will just be there for show. The Liu family must have more experts!"

"Sir, the Liu Mansion does have several experts. But I'm also wondering why they haven't shown up yet?" "Tell me their names, so I know them, right?"

"Two of them are ninth-level masters of the Tianxing Sect. They are said to be subordinates of Young Master Sanqin. The other one is surnamed Zhu, and he is a son-in-law. His martial arts skills are at least above the ninth level!"

Feng Jiuxiao was a little surprised and said half-jokingly, "Three Ninth Realm masters, but none of them showed up? This is too irresponsible. Is it worthy of the Liu family's money? Let's go to their residence and take a look."

The housekeeper said: "Okay!"

He led Feng Jiuxiao into a separate courtyard and said, "Sir, this is where the two Tianxing Sect masters live."

Feng Jiuxiao looked around casually and said, "Well, there's no one inside. I won't go in to see."

Tianxing Sect was founded by Lian Cheng. After his death, the sect was destroyed, but there were still people who dared to call themselves disciples of Tianxing Sect! However, with the level of these two people, they couldn't make any waves!

"Take me to the residence of Mr. Zhu to have a look."

"it is good!"

A moment later, the two arrived at Miss Liu's villa.

The house stands quietly with a layout of "three rooms and two corridors", and the curves of the wok-ear gables appear particularly dynamic under the moonlight.

The half-moon pond in the center of the courtyard was shimmering with light, and a few koi fish were swimming leisurely among the water lily leaves. There were a few pieces of Yingde stone lying by the pond, and the stone surface was polished by time to be as smooth as jade. Next to the rosewood lounge chair under the west corridor, a few white petals with fragrance were falling from the white orchid tree.

The oyster shell wall on the east side gleamed with a pearly luster in the moonlight. The firecracker flowers planted at the base of the wall had climbed up to the eaves, hanging their vermilion flowers beside the gray-plastic lintel with ancient patterns.

A breeze blew by, making the wind chimes tinkle softly, echoing the sound of water dripping from the eaves onto the mossy stone steps.

Feng Jiuxiao frowned.

"This courtyard doesn't look like it's in Bashu style. Was it modified later?"

The housekeeper said: "Young Master, you really have a unique vision. The architectural style here was indeed changed later!"

"How many years has it been changed?"

“It was changed last year!”

"Do you know where this courtyard style is from?"

The housekeeper said: "I really don't know about this!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is the Lingnan style. Is your uncle's surname Zhu?"

The housekeeper said: "Yes! The surname is Zhu!"

"What's your name, Zhu?"

"He said his name is Zhu Wuyang!"

The five yangs of the Five Yang Divine Art?
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "How old is he?"

The housekeeper said, "About thirty!"

Similar age!

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "How tall is he?"

The butler said, "Well, he is quite tall, about eight feet tall! He is more than a head taller than you!"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled: "I think I know who he is!"

He then asked, "By the way, where is the dungeon?"

The housekeeper said, "Sir, follow me!"

The two looked at the dungeon again, and seeing that no one was imprisoned inside, Feng Jiuxiao lost interest.

He suddenly looked at the housekeeper and said word by word: "Go back to the government office in Wenchuan and deliver a letter to County Magistrate Yang."

He wanted to inform Yang Zixiong that Master Zhu Wu appeared in his jurisdiction. Master Zhu Wu was a descendant of the Later Liang Dynasty and had been the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty. This man was a great threat to the Song Dynasty! As for what to do with County Magistrate Yang, Feng Jiuxiao didn't care! The opportunity was given to you, and if you couldn't seize it, don't blame others!

"There's one more thing. Zhu Wuyang will definitely ask you about me when he comes back. Just answer truthfully to prevent him from being violent towards you!"

"What? He, a son-in-law, dares to attack me?"

"What are you saying? Didn't you just say he was a master? What's wrong with a master?"

The housekeeper was startled, and then he remembered that Miss Liu was gone! Without the restrictions on his head, the son-in-law could rebel at any time!
He suddenly felt a little scared: "What if he wants to be the head of the family?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "You are not stupid! He was able to marry into the Liu family because he was attracted by the Liu family's wealth and connections! Now that all the Liu family members are dead, those side branches will definitely come to fight for the family property. You must listen to Zhu Wuyang and save your life first. Then I will let the Song army come to take over the Liu family."

The butler said, "Thank you, sir!" He didn't expect that the young man had actually considered his difficulties in advance! His thanks came from the bottom of his heart!

Zhu Wuyang is such a skilled martial artist, and he's also the son-in-law of the Liu family. It's legitimate for him to take over the family property, and there's nothing wrong with me obeying his orders, at least from a legal point of view!
If those side branches want to grab the family property, it all depends on how strong their fists are!
If you are strong, you can take away the family property!

If it’s not hard, you can only lie down!

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Let's go and take a look at the silver vault."

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
