Chapter 403 I haven't got in the car yet!
The sharp blade brushed against the tip of the nose and penetrated deeply into the wooden board. The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River had never seen this before. One of them was frightened out of his wits.
The other person shivered subconsciously, and the bridge of his nose accidentally touched the blade, and a wound was cut immediately, bleeding continuously.
"Yeah~!" Feeling the pain from the bridge of his nose, the man screamed piercingly, wanting to get up and run away.
Obviously only a small cut was made, but it seemed as if he had suffered a severe injury and had lost too much blood. His hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't get up several times in a row.
Zhou Ji hated people making noise the most, so he turned over the wine cup and stared at him. The man seemed to sense danger, and subconsciously closed his mouth. Enduring the discomfort of blood flowing from the bridge of his nose to his mouth, he squatted on the ground, not daring to move. .
Jiangnan style of writing is prevalent, and in the hall on the second floor, apart from these three people who are chattering, there are many other scholars near Yangcheng.
The sound of the shattering of the screen and the table attracted the attention of other guests. Some of the scholars saw that someone had humiliated the scholar in this way, so they immediately gathered around, pointed at Zhou Ji and Xu Fengnian, and reprimanded loudly with righteous indignation.
What 'Jiangnan doesn't welcome warriors', 'too much deceit and get out of Yangcheng', everyone shouted, their necks turned red, citing scriptures, vowing to use everything they had learned, but no one dared to step forward and kill the two of them from the sword rescued.
Xu Fengnian raised his head slowly, his cold eyes were burning with raging anger. Wherever he looked, it seemed like a basin of cold water was being poured on everyone's heads. He glanced at the cold blade, and the reprimands kept getting smaller and smaller. In the hall on the second floor The atmosphere also gradually became dignified.
"It's none of your business, get out!"
Everyone fled towards the stairs as if they had received an amnesty, fearing that they would harm the fish in the pond.
"Can we talk now?"
Xu Fengnian pulled out the Xiudong swing knife and pointed it at the tip of the Confucian scholar's nose whose nose was cut by the blade. The blood drops from the blade fell on the face of his unconscious companion. His companion shivered. A strange smell came from below.
"What are you talking about?" Confucian scholar covered his nose with one hand, seeing the tip of the knife getting closer and closer, his voice trembled and stammered.
"What to say, just like what you are talking about." Xu Fengnian raised Chunlei and inserted it into another person's thigh without saying a word, and said in a cold tone: "If you dare to fool, this is your fate!"
The Confucian scholar glanced at his companion whose thighs were twitching constantly and whose clothes were dripping with blood, how dare he fool him, and immediately revealed that the identities of the three of them were all scholars of Jiangxin Academy, and what they were talking about was the scandal between the widow of the Lu family and Mr. Chengzhai these days .
A month ago, the daughter-in-law from Beiliang Xu's family who married Jiangnan Lu's family took the initiative to seduce Mr. Liu Liting from Chengzhai in Baoguo Temple, but was bumped into by Liu Liting's wife and slapped the widow in public.
This matter caused a stir in Yangcheng, and even spread to the palace.
Xu Feng came to Yangcheng at the beginning of the year, and didn't know what his eldest sister was related to Mr. Cheng Zhai. After hearing what the Confucian scholar said, his face became more and more ugly.
His mother died when he was young, and he and Huang Maner were actually brought up by Xu Zhihu. He was afraid of his second sister because Xu Weixiong was strong, and he respected his elder sister because Xu Zhihu was like a mother.
Now hearing someone slandering Eldest Sister so much, I feel like killing someone.
"What he said is true?" Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the other person who was unconscious. Seeing that he didn't respond, he said in a blunt tone, "If you pretend to be unconscious, you don't need to wake up!"
"Then what, he didn't pretend." Zhou Ji coughed lightly, covered his nose and said, "I was stabbed by you just now, and I lost a lot of blood, I really fainted."
Xu Fengnian raised his knife and walked towards the person whose clothes were torn apart by the sword energy, the person immediately opened his eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The whole city knows about this, the hero can just ask anyone to find out." .”
"If you don't tell me, I'll ask!" Xu Fengnian put away his swords and walked towards the stairs. Zhou Ji looked at the messy hall and suddenly lost his appetite. He shook his head and got up to follow.
There were no customers in the restaurant, the shopkeeper and the waiter shivered behind the counter, for fear of provoking these two murderous outsiders.
Just passing the corner of the stairs, Zhou Ji saw Xu Fengnian turning to this side outside the door, his eyes flickering, and the handle of the knife in both hands.
Seeing his murderous look, Zhou Ji stepped aside, only to hear a burst of footsteps stretching upstairs, followed by three heart-piercing wailing sounds, even the unconscious man was killed. Waking up with a start, howling louder than the other two.
Ren thought about it for a while and became more and more angry, and after leaving, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Xu Fengnian slashed off the bridges of the noses of the three with a knife, and finally calmed down.
Zhou Ji shook his head, walked towards the counter, slammed the back of his finger on the table, and said with a smile: "To disturb the shopkeeper's business today, how much is the damaged thing upstairs, let's make a bill for now, and first record it in Beiliang Prince's Mansion, the eldest son Xu Fengnian's account ,do you understand?"
The shopkeeper heard the wailing sound coming from the window on the second floor, and got up from behind the counter tremblingly. When he heard Xu Fengnian's name, he immediately reacted.
This son of Beiliang is the number one dandy in the Liyang Dynasty, and his reputation of being arrogant and domineering has spread all over the world. It is rumored that he will come to Yangcheng to visit the widow of the Lu family in the near future, but he did not expect it to be true.
"Don't be afraid, just write it down as it is."
Zhou Ji smiled, and chatted with the shopkeeper about the rumors about Liu Liting, then turned to look at Xu Fengnian who was coming down the stairs, "Are you relieved?"
Xu Fengnian's face sank like water, he looked at Zhou Ji and said, "Old Zhou, accompany me to Jiangxin County."
"good."
Jiangxin County, Liu Mansion.
Liu's family can be considered as a family with Zhengmiaohong roots in Yangzhou, but the gentry clans are also divided into three, six, and nine ranks. Compared with the behemoth four great families, it is very different.
Liu Liting, also known as Mr. Chengzhai, was comforting his wife with kind words at this time, and even cooked nourishing chicken soup himself, and brought it to his wife.
"Come on, lady, try this soup, I have been cooking it for a long time."
Madam Liu turned away from the table and was angry at the table. Liu Liting took a peek at her face, lifted the bowl cover, walked up to her and flattered her, and said, "Madam, are you still angry? It won't be good if you get angry."
"I'm so angry, I've just weighed your heart, so that you can go to that vixen!" Madam Liu turned around again, not even looking at him.
"Madam, I have explained to you so many times, I am really wronged!" Liu Liting followed suit, sat next to Madam, put down the soup bowl, and said helplessly: "You also know that it was that **** who took the initiative to pester me, It’s really a disaster.”
Outside the window sash, Xu Fengnian listened to the conversation between the two, especially when Liu Liting said the word 'slut', holding a knife handle, and said with an ugly face: "My sister is infatuated with Hong Xi, there is no way she likes this kind of woman." people!"
Dangdang~ The door was lightly knocked.
Liu Liting let go of his wife's palm, and said with a straight face, "Madam hasn't finished eating yet, I'll clean up later."
The so-called courtesy before soldiers, Zhou Ji directly pushed open the door, walked into the room calmly with Chunlei on his shoulders and flower pots in his arms, walked to the table under the surprised eyes of Liu Liting and Mrs. Liu, saw the untouched chicken soup, and sat straight down. He got down and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet~"
Zhou Ji said as he put down the flower pot, took a spoonful of chicken soup and tasted it, "It tastes really good."
"Who are you? What do you do?" Liu Liting guarded his wife behind him, looked up at the courtyard, and wanted to call out to the servants to guard the courtyard.
"Stop shouting, no one will come." Zhou Ji said lightly what made Liu Liting and his wife terrified.
Liu Liting's voice suddenly became thinner, and he stood on tiptoe and said in a broken voice: "You killed them all?"
Zhou Ji smiled indifferently, and did not explain that he just caught the person on fire, and did not hurt the servant's life.
But his smile was even more frightening in the eyes of Liu Liting and his wife. Mrs. Liu, who was originally protected by Liu Liting, pushed Liu Liting's arm away, took a step forward, and said in a trembling voice: "If your Excellency is asking for money, please forgive me." But we are husband and wife, everything is easy to talk about."
Zhou Ji's face restrained his smile, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he said: "I'm not interested in money, I just heard that my husband and Xu Zhihu are in an adulterous relationship, and I want to borrow my life from my husband to take revenge on the Xu family."
"Your Excellency, if you want to take revenge on the Xu family, you should go to the Lu family to find Xu Zhihu." Liu Liting said urgently with a mournful face.
Zhou Ji pulled out Chunlei and pointed at Liu Liting, said in a deep voice, "Although the world doesn't know that the Lu family has a top expert, Lu Baijie, if you can kill me, do we need to find you?"
Liu Liting looked at the shining blade. The blade was made of a special material that does not drip blood, but there still seemed to be a faint smell of blood lingering in the noses of Liu Liting and his wife.
Thinking that more than a dozen people in the courtyard were killed by the knife, and the smell of blood seemed to be amplified and became more intense, Liu Liting's legs trembled, his face turned pale and he said: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, that woman Xu Zhihu has a heart for me, if you If you want to kill her, I can invite her to a private meeting in the mansion, and she will definitely agree."
Madam Liu pulled off Liu Liting's sleeve, and blamed in a low voice: "Do you dare to swim in this muddy water?"
"How can I believe you?" Zhou Ji sneered, but also sheathed Chun Lei, sat at the table and continued to drink soup.
Liu Liting turned and walked towards the desk, quietly picked up an inkstone and hid it in his sleeve, just when Zhou Ji thought he was going to 'stand up and resist', the man raised the inkstone, took advantage of his wife's unpreparedness and knocked it unconscious, stretched out his hand and sniffed, After confirming that she was just in a coma, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhou Ji with a surprised expression, and said in a deep voice, "Don't let her hear the next words."
Liu Liting looked back at his wife who was lying on the ground, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "The relationship between Xu Zhihu and I is not as rumored, in the final analysis, I was actually pestering her deliberately. Every time Xu Zhihu travels I will always look for opportunities to meet by chance, send poems and praises, just to ruin his reputation and make the Lu family and Bei Liang turn against each other."
Liu Liting told the whole story, and took out the correspondence between himself and the Beijing Imperial Academy to prove himself.
Zhou Ji let Liu Liting take back the letter, sat at the table and continued to drink chicken soup, "Have you heard everything?"
"heard it."
"Who is talking?" Liu Liting's expression changed in vain when he heard the voice, and when he turned around, he saw another young man coming from the door, "Who are you?"
Xu Fengnian put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and said with a sinking face: "I am Xu Fengnian."
The letter in Liu Liting's hand slipped, subconsciously looked at Zhou Ji, pointed to Xu Fengnian and said, "He is Xu Fengnian."
"So what? You want me to kill him?" Zhou Ji threw Chun Lei out casually, Xu Fengnian put the knife back into its sheath, looked at Liu Liting and said, "You plan with the capital and want to kill my Xu family, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
This is the first time Xu Fengnian has the intention to kill, and has an urge to kill.
Even for those who wanted to kill himself, he never had such a strong killing intent.
Liu Liting insulted his elder sister's reputation and joined hands with the capital to plot against Xu Zhihu. This incident has already touched his back.
Liu Liting felt something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but now the door was blocked by Zhou Ji and Xu Fengnian, and he hurriedly ran to the side window to escape through the window, but Xu Fengnian grabbed him before he could take a step and dragged him to the front. In the direction of the stables.
During this period, Xu Fengnian didn't even gag Liu Liting's mouth, allowing him to shout for help, attracting pedestrians and residents around to watch.
Liu Liting was well-known in Jiangxin County, but now he was tied to a rope, claiming that Prince Beiliang wanted to kill him.
Xu Fengnian's expression remained unchanged, he looked around and said, "That's right, I am Xu Fengnian, the eldest son of Beiliang! Everyone, remember this name!"
After finishing speaking, he galloped away, the long rope was suddenly tightened, and Liu Liting's begging for mercy turned into wailing.
The people around the audience were unknown, so the outermost passers-by tiptoed into the courtyard of the Liu Mansion with the open gate, and suddenly found a strange man walking out of the courtyard with a flower pot in his hand, and the crowd immediately spread back in a circle.
Zhou Ji stood in the crowd, looked at the drag marks on the ground dumbfounded, shook his head, raised his feet and flew up, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Yangcheng, Lu family.
Due to the rumors in the city these days, the reputation of the Lu family has been greatly reduced. This daughter of Xu's family, who was supposed to raise the profile of the Lu family, not only killed the eldest son whom the family placed high hopes on, but also brought countless shame to the Lu family.
It was approaching noon, and the housekeeper who was out shopping hurried over, and rushed into the study with a panicked expression, ignoring the usual etiquette, and shouted anxiously: "Master, it's not good."
Lu Xuanlang was also rumored to be in trouble recently. He slammed the sage classics in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "What a shame to panic!"
The butler's lips were blue and trembling, and he bent over and whispered a shocking news that caused a sensation in the whole city.
The eldest son of the Xu family has already arrived in Yangcheng, and just now made a big fuss in the Yiding Tower, injuring three scholars, and then went to Jiangxin County, tied Mr. Chengzhai to a rope, and dragged him to the city on horseback. Now he is heading towards Lu's house .
"Unscrupulous! This kid is really unscrupulous!"
Lu Xuanlang heard the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitch, and he was frightened and angry.
Immediately ordered people to close the door of the mansion, and no one was allowed to open the door for Xu Fengnian.
It was tens of miles from Jiangxin County to Yangcheng. When Liu Liting dragged him to the gate of Lu's house, he had already turned into a **** and cold corpse.
Pausing in front of the mansion, looking at the closed gate of Lu's house, Xu Fengnian suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something, looked back at the long blood stains on the ground, and Liu Liting, who had already died, and tilted his head in doubt.
