Han official!

Chapter 24 Madam

Pork and rice were soaked in aconite in advance, a highly toxic herb. The relative Liang Ji used aconite to poison Emperor Zhi of Han. As long as dogs and pheasants ate aconite, even if they did not die, they would quickly fall into a coma and would not make any sound.

"boom!"

Guo Jie threw the pork and rice over the wall. There was no noise in the dog pen, but the chicken coop soon made a flapping sound. After about a quarter of an hour, the noise in the yard disappeared.

"Wei Guang and his men will guard the front gate."

A ruthless look flashed across Guo Jie's face. "This official and Zhang Qian will take the rest of the brothers in to kill the people. The cook will guard the back door. Remember, not a single person can escape, regardless of age, gender, or child."

He was worried that the others might see the woman and child and feel compassion, so he repeatedly warned them, "You and I are killing people in Chang'an, the capital where the emperor resides! We are dealing with over twenty lives. You must not show the slightest mercy. If word gets out, you will be executed along with your entire clan."

The words "clan extermination" frightened several people and made them tremble in their hearts.

Zhang Qian and Wei Guang nodded solemnly, hardened their hearts, put away the little kindness in their hearts, and prepared to kill them all.

The chef had been in Chang'an for decades and knew the consequences of information leaks better than anyone else. He gripped the two-foot sword in his hand and was the first to leave, walking silently towards the back door of the mansion.

Wei Guang followed closely behind him, changed direction and headed towards the gate, hiding under the corridor at the door, holding an iron halberd with the word "卜" in its hand and a ring-handled sword on its waist. His eyes darkened as he waited for Guo Jie to open the gate from the inside.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Guo Jie and Zhang Qian jumped over the wall and entered the house. They bent their waists, lowered their armored bodies, and held their ring-handled swords tightly, looking warily at the livestock in the dog pen and chicken coop.

The dog pen was in a mess, and there was not a single dog that could be eaten as meat. The two men breathed a sigh of relief.

The chicken coop was made by drilling through the wall, with a wooden frame in front as a chicken rack. Only a few pheasants squatted on the rack, and most of the pheasants fell to the ground, having been poisoned to death by the aconite.

Guo Jie did not leave immediately. He walked into the chicken coop with a ring-handled knife and chopped off the heads of all the pheasants, leaving a pile of headless pheasant carcasses on the ground. Satisfied, he put away the ring-handled knife and left the chicken coop.

He is extremely careful and cautious.

Zhang Qian admired in his heart that his brother was so cautious in his actions, and he was worthy of being his brother who was famous in Chen County and became a hero at a young age.

"Walk."

Guo Jie whispered, "First, kill all the servants and concubines in the left courtyard, then go to the right courtyard and kill the knight-errant from the Yangdi Yuan clan."

The left courtyard was inhabited by Yuan Tu's wives and concubines, as well as slaves such as servants and concubines. Killing them was relatively simple and would not cause too much noise.

He killed all the people in the left courtyard and focused all his efforts on dealing with the troublesome knight in the right courtyard to prevent the fight between Guo Jie and the knight from reaching a stalemate. The women and children in the left courtyard ran out and cried for help, alarming the guards of Gaojie Duting.

What happened tonight cannot be made public. Once it is exposed, we must evacuate immediately and prevent the officials from the temple from seeing the appearance of Guo Jie and the others.

Even the people from the official temple called Guo Jie and others to attack and kill Yang Di Yuan.

This is Chang'an, Jing County.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Guo Jie and Zhang Qian followed the corridors and quietly entered the houses. With their ring-handled knives, they slashed the necks of the servants and concubines one by one, killing all of Yuan Tu's remaining wives and concubines one by one on their couches. Half an hour later, only the last house remained, which was probably the room where Yuan Tu's wife, Lady Jian, lived.

"I'll go open the door for Wei Guang."

Guo Jie whispered, "I'll leave the final touches to you. I'll open the gate to let Wei Guang in, then close the door and kill him. This will prevent any disturbances from waking up the Yuan clan's young men in the right courtyard."

Zhang Qian nodded, put away the shield in one hand, held the ring-handled sword in the other, and walked into the room quietly. There were two couches in the room. One was the big couch where Madam Xi was lying, and in front of the couch was an exquisite screen.

Next to the screen was a small couch, on which lay a pretty maid. Because she often served Yuan Tu and had to get up in the middle of the night to urinate, she slept lightly. When she heard the slight sound of the door opening, she opened her eyes in a daze.

Zhang Qian was startled and stepped forward quickly. With a "puff" sound, he killed the maid lying outside with a single blow.

After Yuan Tu died, Mrs. Xu was frightened all day long. A group of men suddenly came to her house. She dared not blow out the lights when she went to bed at night. A copper goose lamp was lit in the room. Under the dim light, a stream of blood splattered on the screen.

"Snapped!"

The maid's lowered arm knocked over a copper duck incense burner, and the fragrant grass inside it scattered all over the floor.

"who!"

Madam Xie suddenly woke up, thinking it was Yuan Tu's cousin who had drunkenly run in and offended her. When she saw the man's appearance clearly, she was even more frightened and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

When Zhang Qian saw Madam Xie lying on the couch, he was stunned. He had never seen such a charming beauty before.

Mrs. Xi had her hair tied in a bun and wore a thin gauze middle dress. She was extremely beautiful, with long and thin eyebrows on her pretty face, shaped like the character "八". Most of her thin shoulders, with her fragrant and soft skin, were exposed, which made her even more charming.

She leaned against the wall holding the quilt, looking pitiful and extremely lovable.

A tear ran down Mrs. Xie's oval face.

Any man would be heartbroken upon seeing it.

Zhang Qian was a young man from a low-income family. He had never seen such a scene before. He stared at the natural beauty Madam Xian, unable to take his eyes away, and his breathing became heavier.

"Gentleman."

Madam Xie saw the unspeakable heat in the knife-wielding young man, bit her red lips, and pleaded bitterly, "As long as you can let me go, I will let you pick me. I am willing to spend a good night with you and enjoy the love between men and women."

Beitha bit her red lips.

Zhang Qian's head almost exploded with a bang. He stared at the beauty on the couch, his breathing becoming extremely hot.

"puff!"

At this moment, a ring-handled knife flew over and directly pierced Mrs. Xi's plump chest, nailing her to the couch.

Guo Jie glanced at the charming Madam Xu without any lingering feelings and left a cold word.

"Oh, how can I lose my mind because of a woman?"
