Chapter 257: It turns out that the dead person was a servant!
He was weak and limp all over, and the piercing pain in his chest and back made it difficult for the servant to hold the rag in his hand.
The rag slid down his servant's uniform, taking away the tiny specks of dust that were invisible and intangible but definitely there.
He slowly sat down, leaning against the stair railing, glancing at the drunken young man.
This day has finally come.
The servant was relieved, raised his head, and shouted with all his might: "Help! Help!"
The cry for help attracted the attention of all the guests in the lobby.
They turned their eyes and saw a servant wearing a servant's uniform with a sword tip exposed on his chest and blood on the front of his lapel, but there was no one beside the servant.
Everyone's expression changed instantly, with anger, shock, and fear all showing on their faces.
"Who killed the servant?"
"Where are the guards on the tower?"
"Go, go, go, go!"
"Changan Jun's servant was killed? Something bad is going to happen!"
“…”
Some people stood up and ran outside to get away from the building, some shouted to find the guards of the building for punishment, and some people went to find the manager of the building with a grim face.
The guests did not think much about the death of a servant.
What they care about is that this servant was named by Ying Chengjiao, and when beating a dog, one must also consider its owner.
Normally, no one would say anything if you kick or slap him a few times, but isn’t it a bit disrespectful to Chang’an Jun to just kill him?
Ying Chengjiao had just been imprisoned in Xianyang when someone killed his servants on a tower. Was this a test of the waters?
The only ones who could come to the tower at this time were a few young men from wealthy families who felt uncomfortable and deficient in energy and blood because they didn't have sex for a day.
Most of them were wealthy people who didn't even know that their towers were being monitored, so they naturally didn't want to get involved in the high-level struggles in the Qin State.
The noisy lobby, which was originally filled with obscene sounds and talk, became even noisier, replaced by loud shouting and cursing.
A hint of joy with a vicious filter flashed across Lu Xu's intoxicated eyes, and his hand reached out to grab the men's clothes that Lu Changzuo was wearing.
Dr. Lu's method of revenge was simple, which was to tear off the clothes worn by the Lu family girl and let her be seen naked by all the guests in such a romantic place as the tower.
In this era, if a woman is seen naked in public, she will be looked down upon for the rest of her life and it will be difficult for her to get married.
As long as your mind is not so strong, even if you don't commit suicide, you will live under the shadow of being cursed by everyone for the rest of your life.
It was a simple trick, but the damage it caused was not small.
Because such things were too cruel for women, Qin law stipulated that anyone who tore a woman's clothes would have their hands chopped off.
But the third daughter of the Lu family was dressed as a man, and Dr. Lu was drunk, so this Qin law did not apply.
This is to prevent some women from taking advantage of the situation and deliberately wearing men's clothes to provoke others.
Lu Xu imagined the screams and frightened expressions of the three girls of the Lu family. The perverted desire for revenge in his heart was unprecedentedly high, and his movements became faster.
"don't want!"
Lu Zhi, whose eyes had always been on Lu Xu, became anxious, and the little girl stood up and pushed Lu Xu.
She wanted her family to live in peace and without fear, but she was not ready to sacrifice the rest of her eldest sister's life.
Don't worry, you'll be here soon.
The malice in Lu Xu's eyes intensified, and he was ready to tear off Lu Changzuo's clothes and strip Lu Zhi naked.
How could two girls, who are less than 30 years old in total and have never practiced martial arts since childhood, be as strong as Lu Xu?
When the pure young body is not covered by clothes, it will be polluted by the secular world and can never be washed away.
In the noisy lobby, a servant with a sword in his chest, whose life or death was unknown, sat at the bottom of the stairs with his eyes closed.
Two of the guards on the tower reacted and ran to the servants to protect the scene, while the rest took control of the tower.
They had no intention of finding a doctor for the servant. They assumed that the servant was dead. They just wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible and make him pay compensation.
A living servant is worth nothing, but a dead servant is worth one gold coin.
The commotion caused by the assassinated servant attracted everyone's attention, so that Lu Xu, who had ulterior motives, no longer worried that someone would come to the rescue.
When Dr. Lu grabbed the collar of Lu Changxu and pulled it off with force, his eyes showed revenge and the pleasure of destroying a girl.
When Lu Zhi, who was very opinionated and unwilling to accept anything, shouted "No, no", with tears in her eyes and regret in her heart.
A cool and beautiful lady with heroic spirit appeared beside Lu Changzuo.
She moved incredibly fast, pointing two fingers at the back of Lu Xu's hand that was resting on the collar of Lu Changju's shirt. The severe pain made Lu Xu let go of his hand involuntarily.
The cold beauty grabbed Lu Xu's wrist with her five fingers and twisted and pulled it. Lu Xu's wrist made a teeth-aching crackling sound, and his hand drooped down like a noodle.
"ah!"
Lu Xu screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and all the wine he drank turned into sweat. The severe pain made his already clear consciousness even clearer.
Although Lu Zhi's push was late, it came late and pushed Lu Xu, who was only screaming and had no strength to resist, to the ground.
Lu Xu fell over and knocked over a chair, and his body hit the wood of the solid wood seat, causing secondary damage.
"You are the sister who fought with Changan-kun that night!"
Lu Xi's eyes sparkled, and she jumped over and shouted.
The cold beauty was the Yue girl who had changed back into women's clothes and let her long hair down.
The Yue girl looked at the little kid beside her in surprise. She remembered that there were no children at the scene on the night of the assassination of Ying Chengjiao.
Before Yue Nu could say anything, Lü Zhi quickly covered her younger sister's mouth and said apologetically, "My younger sister is just talking nonsense."
I'm not kidding! It's the sister from that night! You can't recognize me after I changed my clothes!
Lu Shi tried to pick up the second sister's hand, hoping that the confused second sister would recognize the Yue girl.
The soft flesh on her waist was pinched by Lu Zhi, and the familiar feeling made Lu Shi dare not struggle anymore.
Lu Changzuo, who had her back to Lu Xu, had no idea what was going on. In a confused state of mind, she turned her head and saw a Yue woman in a white dress with gold thread, looking extremely cold and aloof.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes first, and then a hint of hostility.
"Little sister, don't talk nonsense!"
The eldest sister's words and the second sister's hand made Lu Shi completely depressed.
Lu Changzuo turned around and saw Lu Xu crying out in pain on the chair.
He inquired and turned his expectant eyes to Lu Zhi - is the matter settled?
Lu Zhi shook her head slightly.
Lu Zhi knew without anyone telling her that the plan had failed.
But Lu Zhi was very glad that the plan failed. If it had succeeded, she would have lost her elder sister.
In a room on the second floor of the building.
Two identical beautiful women stood in front of an opaque window through which one could vaguely see the general situation downstairs.
The tower manager stood half a step behind the two of them, serving them attentively.
The manager of the building was willing to do so because among the two beautiful women in front, the one on the left was the manager of the building who brought her out, Qingmei.
Qingmei and Dingxiang had already arrived at the tower and watched the turmoil from beginning to end.
When Qingmei saw the Yue girl trying to stop Lu Xu, she became angry and tore off her hair, having been wrapping a strand of hair around her hand.
"Bad Young Master, she shouldn't be allowed to come!"
Ding Xiang looked at Yue Nu for a moment, then sighed and said, "She is indeed a little willful. Now that things have come to this, let's think about how to solve it."
"Make a big fuss. Make it bigger."
Qingmei pulled out the hair that was wrapped around her index finger for more than a dozen times, pushed the window open a crack, and threw the hair out through the crack.
The hair was flying in the air, no one knew where it would go or where it would land.
"If nothing serious happens in the tower, the noble families won't come here. We must let them in."
The tower manager behind him bowed slightly, with a smile on his face and indifference in his eyes.
"I'll go down and kill that man ."
Human life is more important than anything else, and the biggest thing is a homicide.
Ding Xiang shook her head and said, "No, that person is Lu Xu. You are not qualified to be a doctor of the dynasty."
There is a huge gap between the status of a building manager and the doctor of the current dynasty.
This kind of inequality in status doesn't even require the noble family behind Lu Xu to step in. The power of Lu Xu's friends and old acquaintances is enough to crush the manager of the building to death and bury him with him.
When there is an inequality in status, the noble families won't even show up.
The tower manager just realized that the man wearing the human skin mask below was the doctor of the current dynasty.
Qingmei and Dingxiang had not told the tower manager about Lu Xu's true identity before.
Although they are both called secret guards, Qingmei and Dingxiang, who are only responsible to Ying Chengjiao, have a much higher status than other secret guards.
"You are not capable of accomplishing anything, but you are always causing trouble!" Qingmei cursed angrily once again.
If she could allow the noble families to enter by killing Lu Xu, she would jump out of the window now.
But she couldn't, for the same reason as the building manager couldn't go down: their statuses were not equal.
It is meaningless to keep her and Dingxiang's positions in the secret guards secret.
On the surface, the two of them were Ying Chengjiao's maids, whose status was not even as high as that of a tower manager.
Before Ying Chengjiao went to prison, he called Yuenu, Qingmei and Dingxiang to his side and gave the three women a task.
Taking advantage of the wiretapping incident in the tower this time, while the noble families are dissatisfied with it, they will create some trouble in the tower and let the noble families take action against the tower.
The plan was originally going well. Ying Chengjiao's personal servant was stabbed and fell to the ground. Lu Xu, who was bent on revenge, was about to tear Lu Changzuo's clothes.
On the third day after Ying Chengjiao was imprisoned in Xianyang Prison, something like this happened in Loutai, which made it seem like someone was targeting Ying Chengjiao.
When the time comes, as long as Lu Xu is captured, the aristocratic families will inevitably enter the scene.
Because everything Lu Xu did was in compliance with Qin law, he should not have been arrested. Being arrested would have meant unfair treatment, and would have been a counterattack from Chang'an Junfu.
Noble families will enter the arena for the sake of face or to ensure that the team can continue to be led, no matter if it means spending a fortune on horse bones or saying that noble families cannot be bullied.
But now, Lu Xu was knocked to the ground before he even started causing any trouble.
As the victim, Loutai had no excuse to arrest anyone, so the matter turned into an incident in which only Ying Chengjiao's servant was assassinated.
The status of a servant is the lowest level of slavery. If they die, they die. No one should be able to get angry and fight for the slaves.
"Oh, almost."
Dingxiang sighed softly, feeling it was such a pity.
In the lobby on the first floor, the guards had helped Lu Xu, who was crying in pain on the ground, up.
Lu Xu maintained his drunken appearance and did not choose to stand up and fight with the Yue girl. Instead, he held up his broken wrist and shouted loudly for a doctor.
He valued his life very much and was afraid that the Yue woman would kill him in desperation.
He is a doctor, and his status in the building is very high and powerful. He thinks he has plenty of ways to deal with the Yue girl and get back the place he lost today.
For fear of revealing his resentment, he did not turn his eyes towards the Yue girl or the three daughters of the Lu family.
The guard supported Lu Xu, who kept crying out in pain, and walked towards the inner door of the building.
When passing by Yue Nu, she kicked a table and placed it horizontally in front of Lu Xu.
Qing Leng said: "Don't leave."
There was a slight , and then he cried out in pain even louder.
The guard said in a businesslike manner with a stern face, "Get out of the way."
The girl remained unmoved, staring at Lu Xu, and said, "Do you know that you almost ruined the reputation of these two girls just now?"
Lu Xu kept wailing, pretending not to hear what Yue Nu said.
After a stalemate here for a while, Lu Xu's wailing finally attracted the guests' attention.
They looked at Lu Xu who was crying while holding up his severed hand, and then at the cold and aloof Yue girl with a cold face, and the three little lolis who always sat here dressed as men.
Not knowing what was happening for a moment, the guests were attracted by the wailing sound, and then the next moment they were attracted by the cold appearance of the Yue girl.
In this world where most people are passionate, there are beauties like Yue women who are the cold and aloof type, but they are all disguises.
Only the Vietnamese women are truly beautiful and cool, exuding an aura that keeps people away, which makes them more attractive to men.
"How much is it per night?"
"What's your name, girl? How about climbing Wushan Mountain at night?"
"Look at the standing posture, it's still a virgin."
“…”
In a place like a building, there is no need to talk about quality, everyone is here for carnal desires.
The death of slaves could not scare them, as they were not vassal subjects and were protected by Qin law.
Verbal teasing did not violate Qin law, and the beauty of the Yue girl made them automatically ignore everything else. No one associated the wailing Lu Xu with the cold beauty.
They were making a fuss and teasing her, which made the already extremely angry Yue girl even angrier.
Every successor of the Yue Girl Sword deeply hates bullying women.
From the towering Yuenu Mountain, one can hear faint sobbing sounds every night.
The countless souls of Vietnamese women who were trapped and died here and raped by the Yue army are venting their grievances in their lifetime.
He drew out the long sword from the guard's waist and threw the bronze Qin sword at Lu Xu's neck, penetrating half an inch into the flesh.
Lu Xu's wailing stopped suddenly. He looked at the Yue girl in front of him with horror, who was full of murderous intent, and did not dare to move.
The guard only then realized that his sword had been taken away, and the Vietnamese woman's speed left him no time to react.
"How dare you!"
The guard shouted.
His sword was taken away from him, and he was extremely humiliated. He was so furious that he rushed towards the Yue woman.
Bang!
The Yue girl slapped the guard , a cold light flashing in her eyes.
In an instant, the whole room was silent.
Everyone looked at the Yue girl in horror and stopped speaking dirty words.
How dare this girl attack the guards!
“Save me!”
Lu Xu shouted loudly, trying to save his life.
All the guards on the tower put their hands on the swords at their waists, ready to draw their swords and chop at the Yue girl and kill her here.
Anyone who attacks them is an enemy, and in their eyes, enemies are equal regardless of gender.
"stop!"
A delicate shout came from the second floor.
A window opened, and the person who had never appeared to solve the problem finally showed up, the manager who had the highest authority in the building.
The fallen guard was helped up by his colleagues.
The guards who touched the hilt of the sword did not draw out the Qin sword.
Obeying orders and exercising discipline is the basic quality of Qin's elite soldiers.
