Chapter 9: Killing

There is another joke in the Chang'an officialdom.

Fish is what I want; bear's paw is what I want. Both cannot be obtained. I will give up the fish and take the bear's paw.Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. Both cannot be obtained, and those who sacrifice life to achieve righteousness...

Perhaps recalling the sound of children reading in Mengyunzhai that day, Xue Chongxun took out "Mencius" and read it for a while.

The garden is full of flowers and the pattern is exquisite. The green leaves and red flowers in spring bloom in a row, making a scene of wealth and beauty.

Xue Chongxun was wearing linen and holding an antique thread-bound book in his hand, which looked a bit like a literati.

He said to the illiterate slaves around him: Do you know why there was Mencius in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?

The servant shook his head blankly.

Xue Chongxun said: Because the princes attacked each other and used any means to massacre cities and burn and kill, completely losing their human nature, and the world was left with killing and fighting.At this time, some people stood up to advocate benevolence and righteousness, advocate the goodness of human nature, and bring some sunshine and warmth to the world.

I thought he was talking about the great matter of the great plan of the kingly way, heaven and earth. Although I didn't understand, I stood by my side in awe and didn't move.

Xue Chongxun walked a few steps, his figure was a little lonely. He actually spoke to his servants, but in fact he was talking to himself: But Mencius failed to realize his ideals and made the world peaceful. People still did not talk about benevolence and righteousness, and the attack continued, and even became more and more intense.Because you are merciful, others will not be merciful. Once they have the chance, they will destroy you mercilessly.

He thought about it and said: However, Mencius can be passed down through the ages, which shows that people's hearts are towards him.

Of course, people's hearts are not only good. Huangdi defeated Chiyou. As soon as humans learned to use stones, they learned to fight. When people's hearts are immortal, the struggle will continue.

How would Feng Yuanjun take revenge on himself?Xue Chongxun was thinking about this, but he really couldn't guess it, but what is certain is that Feng Yuanjun must be unable to bear this tone.

A narrow-minded and pretentious person suffered a grievance. Although the other party also has a background, it still does not prevent him from getting angry.

As long as he gets angry, he will be easy to deal with. He will be in trouble and will always have a chance.

Xue Chongxun was like a wolf without saying a word, staring at the sheep in the sheep fold, but was not in a hurry to take action.

At this moment, a dispute suddenly came from the door of the garden, and Xue Chongxun asked loudly: Why is it noisy?

The cook's voice came from over and over again: Mr. Lang, please save my son...

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun said: Bring her here.

After the slaves at the door were released, Bushishi and the groom Pang Er also came in.

But Xishi looks very similar to her daughter Pei Niang, just like Pei Niang’s own sister. She also has a small and delicate face and has good skin.

Before Xue Chongxun could ask, Xi Shi fell to his knees and grabbed the hem of Xue Chongxun's robe and cried: Mr. Lang, please save my son quickly, I beg you!

Don't worry, just say slowly, what happened?

But Xi Shi was heart-wrenching and cried with tears and tears: I thought that Pei Niang didn't even have a better-looking bra, so I took some money this morning and took her to Xishi to choose a bra, but I didn't want to suddenly rush over and snatch my Pei Niang away without saying anything...

The silly Pang Er next to him briefly summarized Budoxishi's long speech: Pei Niang was arrested by Feng Yuanjun's people.

Feng Yuanjun captured Pei Niang, and he captured a slave... Xue Chongxun was a little surprised, but he quickly understood the reason.

Feng Yuanjun must have been ridiculed and wanted to get the scene back, but the person who humiliated him was Princess Taiping's eldest son. Even if he had a backstage, he could not afford to offend Princess Taiping's family, but he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. He had to use Xue Chongxun's maid to fight and barely make a move to find some face.

After things turned out like this, Xue Chongxun really looked down on Feng Yuanjun even more. Just such a little success?If his elder brother Gao Lishi knew about this, he would have to burst his lungs.

Bu Toshishi was still crying: My son Ah, how can I live without her? I am only left with this one. Pang Er can't do it. Please God, don't take her away...

The anxious Bushishi spoke without saying anything, and Pang Er blushed and said: "Wife, why are you talking about your family's misfortune?"Don’t panic, Feng Yuanjun won’t strangle Pei Niang to death. The husband will send someone to the mansion to get it back later.

Bushishi reached out to grab Fat'er's face, and was both sad and angry: You pig's mind!Can’t you guess what Feng Yuanjun is going to do?There is a rumor outside that the husband has defiled his wife who has not passed away. He can't afford to offend him, but he can't swallow his breath. If he uses his husband's slave to attack him, he will definitely ruin Pei Niang!Pei Niang is innocent and she will have a support for the rest of her life with her husband. If Pei Niang becomes a broken flower and a broken willow, what good life will there be in the future...

This vulgar woman's words are vulgar, but that's true.

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and said: Don’t worry, I will take care of this matter myself and I will definitely save Pei Niang.You go out first, Pang Er, prepare the horse; go and ask Fang Yuzhong and others to see me at the Yinyunzhai.

Butushi wiped his tears and said: Mr. Lang, you must save Pei Niang back...

Didn't hear me?Leave this matter to me now. What's the use of crying here?Go back and wait!Xue Chongxun's expression turned cold and he shouted sternly, but he had to retreat without toto Xishi.

He left the Duke of Wei's Mansion and came to the Yinyunzhai diagonally opposite. When he walked into a wing room, Fang Yuzhong and other confidant guards were already waiting inside.

This room is not big, and it has been crowded with about twenty people, and it suddenly seems a little crowded.

There was also a woman in black clothes and covered with black veil in the corner. Her skin exposed on her wrists and other places was astonishingly white, and it became even whiter against the backdrop of the black suit.

This woman, who is like a ghost, feels chill even if she stands in the corner of broad daylight.

Everyone looked at her quietly, and Xue Chongxun said casually: Just call her Sanniang, she will be my person in the future.

At this time, Fang Yuzhong took out a piece of paper and placed it on the big desk. Mr. Lang, this is the sketch of Feng’s mansion. I sent someone to sneak in and find out.

Xue Chongxun nodded in praise, stretched out his neck and looked at the drawing carefully.

Fang Yuzhong said: There are five imports and exits in total. In addition to the main gate and several back doors of the side courtyard, there is also a small door in the kitchen. Generally, slaves who purchase fees enter and exit... Feng Yuanjun often moves here.The population of the whole mansion is 123. Except for women, gardeners, maids, literati and other people who know how to fight, there are more than 20 servants who often guard the house and protect the house in the mansion, which is equivalent to the number of people we dispatched.

very good.

Xue Chongxun looked at the drawing and said, "We went to ask for people, and went straight through the gate without having to talk too much. We would beat people as soon as we saw them. Taking advantage of the surprise, we would first knock down the team of slaves at the gate. We would first seize the chance of winning at the first step of the game.Then he went straight to Feng Yuanjun's residence. At this time, he lacked manpower and it would be no longer difficult to force him to hand over the man.

Fang Yuzhong said again: After our people break through the gate, a slave will pretend to report the news. Then the husband will take people to follow him.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xue Chongxun's mouth, but it was fleeting, and he quickly said angrily: What is Feng Yuanjun? How dare he catch me in broad daylight?I have to pull out his skin!Everyone let go of their hands. I will come forward to deal with it if something happens. Just a relative of an eunuch, do you really take yourself seriously?

Yes, husband.Everyone is a trainee, born with a fighting spirit, and is a little excited at this time.

Xue Chongxun waved his hand and said, "Go down and prepare for guys."Well, wooden sticks and the like are enough. It is best not to kill anyone. Let’s set off in a moment... Sanniang stays.

The servants scattered like birds and beasts, leaving Sanniang still standing in the corner of the house, without moving a single step or speaking.

Xue Chongxun walked to the door and bolted the door, then whispered: Go in with us, listen carefully to the conversation, and after confirming Feng Yuanjun's identity, he... As he said that, he raised his palm and slashed it down, kill him with one blow, don't leave a living mouth!

His eyes showed a strong murderous intent, and it was not a man without poison. As long as he had the chance, he had to pay attention to the word "ruthless".

If Sanniang wants to take action, she can be punished when she has to; Sanniang wants to take action because other servants have been in the Xue Mansion for so many years, and they often have contacts and have a very familiar relationship. In private, they may discuss the rewards and punishments of their masters, and if they let them be scapegoats, they will never let a new person who has just entered take responsibility.

Sanniang, who had never spoken, said at this time: Sanniang's life is my benefactor. I have no other words to say what my benefactor asked me to do, but after killing people in public, I will leave Chang'an immediately, which requires some money.

Xue Chongxun said: Gao Lishi was originally named Feng Yuanyi. In the past, the Feng family died almost the same. Feng Yuanjun is his only relative. If you want to escape, you may find it difficult to escape. Even if you escape, you should know what it feels like to be chased every day...

Sanniang said coldly: This is fate, I am only worthy of living this kind of life.

Xue Chongxun shook his head and said: You don’t have to escape. You are my man, and I will not hand over you.

A cold smile appeared on his face. Whoever is guilty and who is wrong, what has the final say?The law?So should Emperor Taizong be sentenced to death?Ha ha……

Sanniang was silent. She didn't know whether she should believe in this man she had known for a while.

Xue Chongxun took out a waist sign at this time, picked up a pen and wrote a bill, handed it to Sanniang and said: Dongdu Xiantong Money House, these two things can be used to withdraw silk and silver.There are a few ingots of gold here, ready to use before you arrive in Luoyang.Whether to leave or stay, you decide for yourself.
