Chapter 491 Don’t accept it
Under the moonlight, there is an elegant man with long flowing hair and a silky black gown. His face, as if it was cut by a knife or an axe, looks three-dimensional, and his eye sockets are red.
At this time, it had already circled back and forth in a certain area of the grass for several times, sniffing with its nostrils flaring from time to time.
He is what everyone calls Lord Axun.
Several followers who had come with him from the main city were confused by his circling behavior and felt it was neither right to follow him nor not to follow him, so they scattered around the area and waited.
Only Bai Qiru, dressed in a white dress, followed Lord Axun all the time, with an imperceptible anxiety in her eyes.
Another scholar in white came out from the shade of the trees not too far away. It was none other than Lou Xiu, the deputy chief of the inner court. He floated in from the grass forest and landed in front of two general city officials.
When the two saw it was him, they hurriedly wanted to bow and greet him, but Lou Xiu raised his hand to stop them.
Lou Xiu raised her chin towards the figure floating on the grass, "Someone go tell the woman surnamed Bai that the city lord wants to see her urgently."
"Okay." One person took the order and went to announce it.
Lou Xiu suddenly called out again, "Wait a minute, don't say it was me who said that, she is not worthy of me running errands for her."
The two people on the side looked at each other secretly and laughed secretly. He was already running errands, so what was there to be worthy of?
Of course, the two of them would not expose the truth, as everyone wants to save some face.
"Yes, I understand." The man took the order again, then jumped out, rising and falling on the grass, and floated to Lord Axun.
After he stopped Bai Qiru, he bowed and said, "Madam, the city lord has a message for you. He said he has something urgent to discuss with you and asked you to come over as soon as possible."
Bai Qiru was surprised and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
The man smiled bitterly and said, "You asked this question. I am just a messenger. How can I be qualified to know the city lord's intentions?"
Bai Qiru thought about it and estimated that it might be related to Huang Yingying's matter. He did not dare to hesitate and took off into the air and flew towards the direction of Dazhi City.
The messenger also flew up, landed under the bushes, and bowed to Lou Xiu, "Lou, I've delivered the message. The man surnamed Bai has left."
"Yeah, I see." Lou Xiu nodded slightly, then suddenly spread out his sleeves, turned his palms into claws, and grabbed left and right in the air.
The two people on the side were about to fall headfirst and crashed into his claws. Their faces were both sucked onto his claws, and the two evil spirits were injected into their seven orifices on the spot.
The two men, who had no time to struggle, trembled violently, and then fell to the ground with their limbs limp, bleeding from all seven orifices.
The man who was watching secretly and leading Shi Chun didn't know why Shi Chun suddenly stopped and observed secretly. It was obvious that Lord Axun was not far away. Wasn't he here to find Lord Axun?
Unexpectedly, Lou Tijie suddenly appeared at this time. After doing some unknown trick, he suddenly killed his own people. He was so scared that he almost gasped and cried out in surprise. He was poked by Shi Chun's finger next to him, which served as a warning.
The two of them were quiet, hiding behind a large plant of Heart-wrapped Grass, not daring to breathe.
Lou Xiu glanced around again, flicked his sleeves, and flew out of the bushes. Seeing that Axun had landed on a certain grass leaf, he turned in mid-air, floated over, and landed beside Axun. After bowing, he asked, "Master Axun, do you have a clue?"
Seeing him appear, his entourage gathered in groups of three or four to salute him.
Ah Xun glanced at Lou Xiu and seemed to be talking to himself, "There is no mistake. The scent of the murderer was cut off in this area. Obviously, there were more than ten people who flew away when they arrived here."
Lou Xiu flattered him, "With Lord Axun here, there's no way we can escape."
In response, A Xun said proudly: "I remember all the smells. I seem to have smelled one of them somewhere before... As long as the person is still in the city, don't even think about running away. You can take a look around the city later, um..." His eyes suddenly widened, and those disdainful eyes finally slowly looked at Lou Xiu beside him.
He saw a long sword in Lou Xiu's hand piercing straight through his body. He never dreamed that Lou Xiu would dare to harm him.
"You..." He was about to attack when Lou Xiu pierced his vitals with the sword, swung his hand and cut it horizontally, sending out a rain of blood, almost cutting him in half.
A Xun fell from the leaves to the ground.
Lou Xiu swung his sword again like a phantom. Several people who were still in shock and had not yet recovered from their shock had no time to dodge due to the huge gap in their cultivation. They were cut down by the sword, their blood spilled on the grass, and they fell to the ground tragically.
As a high-ranking official in Dazhi City, he knew very well how many people there were here. Those who should be transferred were transferred, and those who should be killed were killed, so no one would know who did it.
After everyone fell to the ground, Lou Xiu, holding a sword, also fell through the grass and landed next to A Xun, who was twitching and almost dying. The tip of the sword slowly moved to the center of A Xun's eyebrows, his eyes were cold.
He didn't want to do this, but he had to. There was no way he could silence Mei You's men now. If the tax inspectors disappeared collectively at this time, it would immediately arouse suspicion, and A Xun would definitely go to verify it.
Of course, we still have to silence the witness, but not now. We have to wait until the storm has passed.
Therefore, the safest way now is to prevent Lord Axun from speaking again.
At this moment, he looked down at the dying Lord Axun from a high position, without any trace of his flattering attitude. He said indifferently: "Do you know why there are so few people who are good at what you do, and why they don't live long? Because everyone has secrets, and the existence of people like you will make everyone feel uneasy one day, so your fate has actually been doomed, it's only a matter of time, don't blame me!"
After he finished speaking, he pierced A Xun's head with a sword, drew the sword, shook the sword body, and put it away.
Then he glanced around coldly, and then he pulled out a bunch of things out of thin air, lit a bunch of flammable materials, and threw them far and near in all directions, and soon he started several large fires in the woods.
He wanted to burn away the smell of his presence at the scene to prevent another person like A Xun from appearing. Shi Chun and the people around him were already lying on the ground. A fire happened to be burning not far from them. They were lurking motionlessly.
Seeing that the fire was fully started, Lou Xiu did not linger any longer and quietly left.
Later, Shi Chuncai quietly asked the people around him, "Who is this guy?"
The person beside him trembled and said, "Lou Xiu, the chief of the inner court, don't you know him? Why did he do this?"
Shi Chun said "oh" and understood what was going on. He was worried that Wu Jinliang would be exposed, and naturally the tax inspectors were also worried.
With his mind made up, he picked up a dagger and unscrupulously thrust it towards the man's neck. As soon as the man turned his head to look at him, he poked it with his hand, cutting the man's neck with blood.
As soon as the other party covered his neck with his hands, he immediately went up and stabbed him a few more times.
After the opponent had completely stopped moving, he took out a gauze hat and put it on. In the blazing light of the fire, he rode the wind scales quickly into the sky, and looked back in the air at the gradually expanding fire area.
After quietly escaping into the darkness, he took out the mother-and-child talisman and sent a message to Wu Jinliang: It's okay, A Xun is dead.
Outside the cave, Wu Jin was walking back and forth in a panic, holding the mother-child talisman in his hand. When the news came, he immediately picked it up and took a look. After seeing the contents clearly, he was stunned. Was Lord Axun going to be killed just like that?
After confirming again and again that everything was correct, he burst into laughter, knowing that it should be no problem for the boss to personally take action, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Hearing his laughter, Lao Changtai ran out of the cave and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"
Wu Jinliang showed him the contents of the talisman.
Lao Changtai also gasped after seeing this, "It's so fast?"
Wu Jinliang chuckled, "After all, he's the boss, you can't disobey him."
Lao Changtai sighed and shook his head, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. He said "OK, OK, OK" three times in succession.
Wu Jinliang replied with the mother-child talisman: OK, I will take care of Huang Yingying. He said he knew the clue about 'Que Si Xiang'.
After putting away the mother-child talisman, he walked into the cave with a relieved mind, and squatted beside Huang Yingying, who was unrecognizable and humming softly. Only then did he find that Huang Yingying was tied up with a bunch of iron chains, tied like a dumpling, with another person tied to the other end.
Obviously Lao Changtai knew that this old guy could escape underground and did this for the sake of caution.
Wu Jinliang took out the dagger again and waved it in front of Huang Yingying to scare her. "Old Huang, I warn you, don't play tricks with me again. I have a lie that will make you regret reincarnation. Tell me, where is the 'Quesixiang'?"
Huang Yingying took a few deep breaths before she said, "Master Axun, the Axun you just mentioned has 'Quesixiang' on his hand."
What? Wu Jinliang and Lao Changtai were both stunned.
Soon, Wu Jinliang was furious and slapped Lao Huang in the face mercilessly. He cursed, "Bullshit! How dare you fool me? I think you are tired of living!"
It's hard not to be angry. Lord Axun just died, and this old guy said that Axun had "death-repelling incense" on his hand. It's obvious that he wanted to die without any evidence.
I have seen dishonest people, but I have never seen someone so dishonest. He dares to fool people like this. What else can I say?
The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, and he was about to pierce Huang Yingying's tendons. However, just as the dagger was about to stab, he froze again, and then he realized that he knew that Master Xun was dead, but this old guy didn't know. Could it be...
As soon as he thought about it, he patted Huang Yingying's face again, "Hey, hey, hey, Old Huang, stop being so hypocritical. Tell me, how do you know that Master Axun has the 'Quesixiang' in his hand?"
Huang Yingying's dazed look was not at all pretentious. She was really dazed because of the beating. Two of her front teeth were knocked out by the slap. It would be strange if she was not dazed.
In the end, he still didn't understand why he was beaten after he confessed.
He confessed the truth twice and was beaten twice.
The two inexplicable beatings were completely unreasonable and he had no idea how to deal with them. He was about to have a mental breakdown and felt that his consciousness could not take it anymore. In a trance, he saw the voices and smiles of his deceased relatives.
It was Lao Changtai, who had tied him up like a dumpling, who had some conscience. He quickly squatted down and cast a spell to help Huang Yingying calm down.
In the library, Shi Chun quietly returned to the lobby. She had just changed her clothes and her nose flared. She finally picked up the fruit plate from beside her pillow and fell into deep thought...
On the grassland, above the blazing fire, two figures, one black and one white, appeared one after another. They were none other than the Lord of Dazhi City, Li Xianghong, and Bai Qiru.
As soon as Bai Qiru returned to Dazhi City and saw Li Xianghong, the two confronted each other and the truth was immediately exposed. They both realized that they had been lured away.
Her own men actually dared to transfer Bai Qiru in her name. Li Xianghong realized that this matter might not be simple, so she personally took action. As a result, there was no one in front of her, only the blazing fire that clearly destroyed the scene.
Li Xianghong, whose long hair was floating in the air, had a fierce look on her face. She suddenly waved her sleeves in the air and extinguished the flames that had spread for nearly two miles. The sparks flew and fell...
