Northern Dynasties

Chapter 129
In a manor surrounded by mountains and rivers in Weinan, as the sky gets darker, the villagers finish their day's work and return to their homes to rest.

Soon, the manor was shrouded in a quiet night, only in a few houses in the deep part of the manor, there were still lights flickering, and there was a little wild laughter from time to time.

There were more than a dozen guards with swords standing outside the small courtyard. Hearing the sound of frolicking in the room, one of the guards couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "My lord clearly told me to be careful when going in and out, but Alang still slipped out to play. Is it inappropriate to still be a prostitute, and to be the commander-in-chief is still the lord's confidant?"

"Keep your duty as a slave, don't talk about your master!"

A captain of the guard frowned and snorted coldly after hearing the words, but then there was louder laughter in the room, and the captain also laughed and cursed in a low voice: "Maybe the governor is also happy to show affection to the master." deep knot..."

When all the guards heard this, they all laughed knowingly, and some of them couldn't help but glance at a row of dimly lit low houses not far from the manor, where some Zhuangshang weavers were weaving overnight.

The lewd noises in the room became more and more intense, and finally someone couldn't bear it anymore, and left the place quietly. Seeing this, other people followed suit one after another, and soon the voices in the weaving room became noisy stand up.

In the end, only the soldier commander and an old soldier were left outside the small courtyard still doing their duty. The soldier leader hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't hold back, and whispered to the veteran soldier: "If Alang has a summons, call it loudly." Call."

After saying this, the captain strode away.

After a while, the old soldier heard rustling noises from nearby, raised his hand to press the knife and whispered: "Who is it!"

"Master, don't be alarmed, don't be alarmed, the owner of the villa knows the hard work of the guards, so he sent slaves to serve the army owner with extra meals..."

Under the night, two stooped Zhuang people approached cautiously carrying a wooden barrel.

The veteran relaxed his vigilance when he smelled the smell of steaming food, stepped forward to inspect the food with his head down, and said with a smile: "Zhuang Nu is also very sensible."

"Major, where are the other guards?"

The two dealers looked around, but they couldn't see the other guards, so they asked in a low voice.

"They..."

As soon as the veteran opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a tremor in his lower back. Immediately, his mouth and nose were covered by a rough hand, and his waist and abdomen pierced by the sharp knife subconsciously straightened up.

After killing the old soldier, the two farmers were no longer stooped, and rushed into the courtyard with vigorous gait. One of them knocked on the door and whispered: "Ah Lang, my lord has something urgent to hear!"

The sound of the waves in the room stopped abruptly, and not long after a disheveled maidservant opened the door, before she could ask, her throat was strangled by a big hand, the blade was raised towards her heart, and she lay limp on the ground.

"what's up?"

Zhao Yongguo's impatient inquiries came from behind the screen. The assassin pretending to be a villager walked in, and like a wolf, he rushed straight at Zhao Yongguo who was still arranging his clothes on the couch, and covered his head with a quilt. Flipping the blade in one hand, he nailed to death the charming woman in the same disheveled clothes on the other side.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing. When another assassin walked in with a rope, Zhao Yongguo, who was covered in the quilt, growled muffled. The two quickly tied him up and moved out of the room one by one.

The two people in the courtyard stood still for a moment, and the soldiers of the Zhao family who heard the promiscuity elsewhere were still unaware, and then quickly ran towards the queen of the villa along the dark corner of the wall.

There were already several people waiting outside the fence of the manor. Seeing the two men galloping towards with Zhao Yongguo on their backs, they quickly drew a knife to break a gap in the fence, joined together, and then hurried to the distant mountain depression.

There are also companions in the mountain depression who are ready to mount their horses to meet them. When the group arrives here, they mount their horses separately, and then run away into the distance in the dark.

In another valley, Li Tai had already fallen asleep in the tent, when he suddenly heard Yu Wenhu's shout outside the tent: "Bo Shan, wake up quickly, I'll take you to a good show!"

After Li Tai heard the sound, he put on his clothes and got up quickly, and Yu Wenhu pulled him up the hillside with an excited face.

The two came under a pine tree on the slope, and Li Tai saw several people standing here holding torches, surrounded by a man who was tied up and covered his face with a thick cloth.

"What kind of thieves are you? Why are you arresting me? I, Ye Naizhang Wugong Zhao Kaifu, will give you anything you want, but if you hurt me, you will surely die!"

Hearing the man's shout, Li Tai knew why Yu Wenhu was so mysterious all the way. He pulled Yu Wenhu and made a gesture of cutting off his head. Going forward, he picked up the wooden stick and smashed it hard on Zhao Yongguo's leg.

"Ah... hiss, spare my life, spare my life..."

Zhao Yongguo's body suddenly bowed like a shrimp after receiving this stick, and he let out a scream that was so shrill that it didn't sound like a human voice.

Yu Wenhu waved to Li Tai again, beckoning him to come forward, and handed him the wooden stick in his hand.

Li Tai didn't tell Yuwenhu about Zhao Yongguo's dispatch of people to assassinate him, and Yuwenhu obviously didn't do this to avenge him.But since everyone is a companion, of course we have to work together, and no one can be alone.

Thinking of his own miserable situation before, Li Tai was naturally not polite, took the wooden stick and swung it with a heavy weight, and when the stick fell, Zhao Yongguo's leg was broken and deformed.

The guy bounced several feet from the ground in pain, let out a shrill scream, and fell silent after landing.Li Tai was about to put another stick on his head, but was held down by Yu Wenhu.

"It's just that he fainted from the pain. It's not appropriate to kill him now. Zhao Gui will not be able to be scrutinized by the officials for this kid's sexual abuse of his wife and daughter this night. Abandoning his son is considered a vent of hatred."

Yu Wenhu bent down to check the kid's condition, and motioned for Moqu to throw him on a conspicuous rock on the hillside, and then said with a smile to Li Tai: "Hurry up, hurry up. Don't be caught on the spot!"

Of course, Li Tai also understood that Dang even went back to the place on the slope, quickly packed up and cleaned up the traces, and the group rushed west overnight, arrived at the outskirts of Chang'an at dawn, took a rest in the manor outside the city, and left at noon. The ferry crosses the Weishui River and goes all the way to Huazhou along the Weibei.

In the manor in Weinan, a change was also discovered very quickly. Seeing the death of men and women in the manor, and the disappearance of his young master, the captain of the guard who had just vented felt that his legs were as soft as noodles, and he was holding a piece of wood with his hands. Only a stick can stand upright.

"Hurry up, look for it, all the slaves in the village should scatter to look for it! You want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death. If you don't see Alang, all the slaves in the village will be buried with you!"

Hearing the trembling and terrified shout of the soldier commander, the village people were frightened into cold sweat for a moment, men and women were startled, and holding torches, they searched the surrounding fields carefully with the manor as the center.

Finally at dawn, the sweat-drenched villagers found Zhao Yongguo who was still naked on the hillside more than ten miles away.At this moment, Zhao Yongguo was still in a coma, one leg was twisted out of shape, and the fracture was swollen and purple, it was shocking to look at.

Soon the guards also rode their horses to this place, and hurriedly ordered someone to carefully carry Zhao Yongguo to the rope bed.

With this movement, Zhao Yongguo suddenly woke up in pain, subconsciously shouted for help, and when he saw Zhuang Ding, his family, around him, tears of humiliation and pain came out of his eyes, and he yelled: "Thief slaves, thief slaves! You all deserve to die! They all have to die...so many people can't prevent the villains from harming me!"

Hearing Zhao Yongguo's yelling and cursing was hoarse and shrill, but full of viciousness, the guard captain first breathed a sigh of relief, but soon turned to worry.

At this time, a armored soldier came forward and whispered: "Captain, do you want to..." His eyes flashed dangerously, and he raised his hand in a kill gesture.

The soldier commander was startled at first when he saw this, but after a while his gaze turned deep, he glanced at Zhao Yongguo who was still lying on the rope bed and yelling at him, and then at the many villagers nearby, he suddenly drew a knife in his hand and stabbed the man The armored soldier suggested recently.

He cut off the head ring of the armored soldier who was dying, and walked to Zhao Yongguo, who had already stopped his voice in astonishment. A Lang was robbed... The thieves are hidden in the village, there must be slaves to protect them, the danger is still there, the slaves have to protect A Lang, and inform the lord to lead the troops to rescue!"

Zhao Yongguo was already frightened at this time, and he became very nervous when he heard this, and grabbed the soldier's wrist tightly: "You have to protect me, kill, kill all those traitors who harmed me... Hurry up and inform me Aye Come help!"

Zhao Gui's garrison was not far from Weinan, and he quickly came here after hearing the news. He glanced at his son who was seriously injured and unconscious, and his heart ached and he was short of breath. As the center, wipe out the bandits and refugees wandering around.

Of course he could guess that it wasn't these bandits and refugees who made the move. If these people really had the courage, they would never spare his son's life.Most likely, some political opponents did the damage.

After sweeping around, he didn't find any valuable information from these bandits and refugees, so he led the crowd straight to Jingzhao County Mansion, looked at Jingzhao Yin Cui Cong and said sharply: "Every soldier in the county moves in and out. For the details, Mr. Cui will check it out for me! If the culprit who murdered my son cannot be found, the county will also punish the officials!"

"It's also part of the county's duty to pursue a lawsuit. But it is also necessary for Zhang Wugong to send the sufferer here, and ask the whole story in detail, so that he knows where to pursue the investigation."

Zhao Gui has been tossing and tossing in the Weinan countryside for the past few days. Cui Xi, as the county magistrate, of course knows about his son's attack.

"My son is seriously injured and can't move. Cui asked knowingly if he intended to cover up the murderer!"

When Zhao Gui heard this, his expression became even uglier.

After Cui Yu heard the words, he took the case to the court: "Mr. Zhangwu's feelings are sympathetic, but please don't slander others! The county government has its own rules and regulations, and the monarchy is entrusted with envoys. It dare not be wronged. If you have any objections, you can play it in the imperial court. , but this is not a place for idlers to roar!"

"Does the dog lighten me?"

Zhao Gui drew his knife in the hall and shouted angrily.

Cui Xi is not just a simple government bureaucrat, but also has the bravery to mount a horse and kill the enemy. He stared and shouted: "Cui is not a weapon, but he can guard this case for the country. Those who make troubles are self-deprecating, and no one is special! The public is strong , I am loyal and upright, and follow orders from above, not from you and me!"

At this time, the people in the government office also gathered around after hearing the sound.

Seeing more and more people gathered inside and outside the hall, Zhao Gui finally did not dare to openly attack the county government office, slowly retracted his saber, and stared at Cui Cong bitterly, before walking out with his head held high.
