The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 50 The Prince is Really Angry
For Prince Yu Yang Jixing, meeting an interesting Taoist priest on the way and having him saved was not a very important matter, so he never mentioned it to Xiahou Zhuo.
He didn't have the time or interest to talk about these things. It's not that he didn't want to mention them, he just didn't take them seriously.
So Li Diudiu had no idea that his master was injured, nor did he know that his master had been targeted by someone.
However, by chance, Prince Yu saved Taoist Changmei, which made the people of the Sun family a little panicked.
The Sun family cannot ignore the matter that Prince Yu does not take seriously.
Sun Qiu had been frowning for several days and was very worried. He was really afraid that people from Prince Yu's mansion would ask about this matter. After all, if the men who were sent to capture Taoist Changmei were willing to interrogate him, they could get out anything.
After waiting for a few days and seeing no movement, Sun Qiu finally felt relieved.
His son Sun Rugong looked at his father's face. A child of only eleven or twelve years old, he looked very cunning.
"Father, now it seems to be just a coincidence."
Sun Rugong said: "The people from Prince Yu's Mansion just happened to pass by."
"It should be, otherwise no one would come to the door."
Sun Qiu said: "The people brought back said that those people called one of them "Prince". Could it be that Prince Yu has really returned to Jizhou? If so, we have to be careful in dealing with this matter. Prince Yu can't be careless about Xiahou Zhuo's affairs."
"so……"
Sun Rugong said: "This Li Chi must be killed, otherwise there will be no evidence."
Sun Qiu glanced at him and said, "It's easier said than done. The academy must be protected by experts now."
Sun Rugong said, "If he was protecting Xiahou Zhuo, he was definitely not protecting Li Chi. Father, I had arranged for someone to keep an eye on him. Li Chi has been out for the past two days, and he was still recognized even though he was in disguise."
"Where did he go?"
"The market seems to be doing some small business."
"Um?"
Sun Qiu's face changed, and he suddenly laughed: "He is a disciple of the Four Pages Academy, but he went out to do business. If this matter is publicized, the academy will not tolerate him."
Sun Rugong said: "We can't wait until that point. Prince Yu should have been to the Four-Page Academy and should have met Li Chi. We don't have much time."
Sun Qiu stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After thinking for a while, he said, "We can't let our family members take action on this matter. I will ask Lao Xiao to go to the black market early tomorrow morning."
Sun Rugong nodded and said, "There are plenty of people in the black market who are willing to take on this job. There are , and many desperate criminals have fled to Jizhou City for refuge. They are willing to do anything for a little money."
Sun Qiu hummed: "If Li Chi leaves the academy again tomorrow, he will die."
The common people all know that there is a black market in Jizhou City, but they don’t know where the black market is. They have never seen it, or even heard of it. Of course, the location of the black market is extremely mysterious.
Sun Qiu stood up and walked to the door and shouted, "Someone, call Lao Xiao over."
Lao Xiao is the manager of Sun Qiu's mansion. He used to be a lone thief in the underworld. Later, he was caught by the government for committing a crime. According to the law, such a person would naturally be executed, but the big families in the city just need such people.
Sun Qiu spent money to buy him out of prison and found a beggar on the street to be his scapegoat.
Old Xiao has been in the Sun Mansion for seven or eight years. With the care of the Sun Mansion and the money he gets, his life is much more comfortable than when he was a bandit.
Soon, Lao Xiao came running in from outside and bowed as soon as he entered the door: "Master, you called me?"
"Um."
Sun Qiu said, "You have been in the mansion for seven or eight years. I have always felt that you are someone I can entrust with important matters. Now is the time to use you. You should have old acquaintances in the black market in the city. It is too late tonight. Go there tomorrow and see if you can find a few good fighters."
Old Xiao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. I'll go check it out tomorrow. Even if I don't have any old acquaintances, it won't be hard to find a few people who can do the job for money."
Sun Qiu said: "Don't look for those who have dirty hands and feet and are not afraid of spending money."
Lao Xiao quickly responded, "Don't worry, Master."
At this moment, a servant ran over and said, "Master, there is someone knocking on the door and asking to see you. He said there is something important."
Sun Qiu asked: "Who sent this person?"
"He said that the governor asked him to come."
"Um?"
Sun Qiu frowned. It was already dark. Why did the governor send someone here at this time? Could it be because of Xiahou Zhuo?
As soon as he thought of this, he ordered, "Bring the person in."
The servant trotted to the main gate and opened the side door. A young man who looked to be in his twenties was standing outside waiting. When he saw the door open, he politely asked, "Master Sun, are you free to see me?"
The servant nodded and said, "My Lord is waiting for you in the study. Please come in with me. Please walk lightly so as not to disturb my Lord and his family."
The young man still replied politely: "I know the rules."
The servant led him in and walked in front, and the young man followed behind. As the servant was walking, he heard some sound behind him, very light. He looked back and saw the young man putting on canvas gloves on his hands.
"What are you doing?"
"When meeting Lord Sun, you must be more serious."
The young man smiled, revealing his neat white teeth. He looked really harmless when he smiled, and gave people a very friendly feeling.
A moment later, the door of Sun Qiu's study was pushed open. Sun Qiu looked outside, and his face instantly turned ugly.
The servant arrived, but he was carried on his shoulders, and was obviously dead.
After the young man came in, he closed the door casually and put the corpse on his shoulders on a chair beside him. He seemed to be afraid that the corpse would fall, so he straightened it up.
"He told me to be gentle and not to disturb Lord Sun's family from resting."
The young man smiled and said, "I should be light enough."
Lao Xiao's eyes narrowed. He took a step back and stood in front of Sun Qiu, holding a short knife in his hand while hanging from his sleeve.
Old Xiao looked at the young man and said, "You are too brave."
The young man raised his hand and gestured: "Shh... let me speak more quietly. You family members are talking so loudly. This is not good."
He seemed to have just remembered something, and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jinzu, the pawn in chess. The prince asked me to tell you that the people in your Sun family are really brave."
Sun Qiu's face had turned pale. He looked at Lao Xiao and said, "Stop him."
Lao Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, Master."
He took a step forward and stabbed the young man's neck with the dagger in his hand. He had roamed the world and killed countless people in the first half of his life, so the force and speed of this stab had reached the extreme.
But the young man didn't even try to hide.
The knife was clearly about to pierce the young man's neck, but it stopped just as close as a chopstick's thickness away from the young man's neck.
Lao Xiao's wrist was grabbed by the young man. It wasn't a hand at all, it was clearly a pair of pliers.
The young man twisted his hand and the dagger fell off. He let go of the dagger and stabbed Lao Xiao sixteen times in one breath. The time it takes for a person to breathe is very short, and these sixteen stabbings were completed in such a short time.
The first cut was in the throat, the second was in the heart, the third was in the temple... In fact, the person would have died after the first cut, but he seemed unable to stop.
After sixteen cuts, Lao Xiao's body fell limply to the ground.
"Xiao Zhenlin has been doing evil in the martial arts world for 20 years. I thought he was a master, but he turned out to be just a loser."
The young man stepped forward and looked at Sun Rugong who was hiding behind Sun Qiu. He smiled amiably and said, "You are too young, so I won't kill you. You should learn your lesson. People should know their own limitations. What qualifications do you have to provoke the palace?"
Even as he was speaking, his dagger had already stabbed horizontally into Sun Qiu's neck, and the tip of the knife came out from the other side. A drop of blood dripped from the tip of the knife, and Sun Rugong screamed in fear.
"You see, there is retribution for doing wrong things."
The young man did not pull out the dagger. After his hand left the handle, Sun Qiu's body fell to the ground.
He looked at Sun Qiu, who was still struggling for breath in his mouth, and said regretfully: "People really need to know themselves."
He looked at Sun Rugong, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If you want to hold a grudge, you can hold it against your uncle. Your father forced your uncle to drive Sun Biehe out of the family. He knew that your father wanted to seize the family business, so he took the initiative to ask to see the prince and told the prince that the Sun family is willing to take responsibility for the wrongdoings. Whoever did the wrong thing should take responsibility."
"Look, you betrayed the Sun family, and the Sun family betrayed you. Don't you feel sad?"
The young man raised his hand and patted Sun Rugong on the face. The sound of "pa pa pa" was quite loud.
"If you don't want to die, don't shout. Wait until I'm gone before you shout. Do you know what to say when the government comes?"
Sun Rugong swallowed hard and nodded, "I know. The housekeeper Lao Xiao was actually a notorious thief. He stole things from the mansion and was scolded by my father. He got so angry that he killed my father..."
The young man nodded: "What a good boy. Then, how did Xiao Zhenlin die?"
Sun Rugong replied tremblingly: "Killed by... killed by the guards in the mansion."
The young man nodded again: "Better behaved, do you think I will kill you?"
Sun Rugong was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, his face was as white as paper. At this moment, there was a slight sound of dripping water. The young man looked down and laughed: "Did you pee your pants?"
Sun Rugong shook his head vigorously, then nodded.
"rest assured."
The young man smiled and said, "I'm just teasing you."
Sun Rugong's expression had just relaxed when the young man punched him on the temple. Sun Rugong's body flew sideways, his head hit the wall and fell to the ground, and he died instantly.
The young man said, "I am teasing you. How could I not kill you? What the palace does...will leave hidden dangers?"
He turned and walked out, then turned back and closed the door.
As he walked, he wondered if these people were crazy. How dare they try to touch the prince's people? If the prince was so easy to provoke, would he still be the prince?
After he left the courtyard, he boarded the carriage at the gate. A middle-aged man in a long gown sat in the carriage. After he got in, he lowered his head and said, "Uncle Su, it's done."
The middle-aged man called Uncle Su nodded and said, "Let's go to the next one."
Jinzu smiled and said, "I'm afraid we'll be busy all night to deal with each family."
Uncle Su narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll sleep in the car for a while."
Jinzu shrugged: "You are always so lazy."
Uncle Su said, "When you reach my age, you will be lazy too. There is no need to work so hard when there are young people like you available."
Jinzu nodded: "It couldn't make more sense."
Uncle Su exhaled slowly and said to himself, "The prince is really angry this time."
Jin Zu hummed and said, "When I left the house, I saw the concubines hanged in the mansion. I was really scared."
