Chapter 867 867: My House Was Ransacked [Asking for Monthly Votes]
Weird vines crawled all over the corners of the house.
The [Corpse Vine] as thick as a bucket twisted like a poisonous snake close to the area with the strongest blood, leaving only a pale corpse in the place. Ah no, the "corpse" is not dead, it just lost too much blood in a short period of time and became comatose, with weak breathing.
[Corpse Vine] surrounded the inner courtyard.
The eldest husband and queen of the house were surrounded by servants, the younger ones hugged their biological mothers' necks and sobbed, and the timid servants and maids were trembling and screaming. There were still hundreds of people present, and the calmest among them was the head of the family.
He originally thought that some kind of ranger came to his door, but when he saw that the people who invaded the mansion were two young women, each with a pink and dark purple tattoo on their waists, he instantly understood their origins. He took a deep breath secretly, cupped his hands, and calmed himself: "We were deceived by villains and misrepresented Mr. Shen's rumors. In order to reflect on our own mistakes, the family, regardless of gender, old or young, voluntarily reduced the expenses and donated 10,000 silver to build the river. . Although it can’t make up for the mistake, it won’t cause Lord Shen to go to war over this and send someone to the door, right?”
Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the thickest [Corpse Vine] with her eyes slightly closed. On the other hand, Yu Zi next to her was holding the hilt of the sword hanging horizontally behind her with her right hand. The blade of the sword was unsheathed a few inches and exposed. Xueliangjianjian said: "The Master of the Song family has misunderstood. I heard that a group of Huang Lie's remnants were hiding nearby and hoarding food and supplies, which may be detrimental to the family. He just sent us to deal with the aftermath."
She smiled and said: "The villain is so cunning that he disguised himself as a soldier and hid in the house. We were also afraid of striking a grass to scare the snake, and the sword has no eyes, so we were afraid of hurting the nobles in the house. Therefore, we did not dare to tell you in advance before taking action. Now all the thieves and bandits have been captured and are hiding. The stolen goods have also been found, so the Song family leader can rest easy. By the way, there is a handwritten letter from the lord here, the Song family leader can take a closer look when he has time."
Yu Zi took out a letter from the bag at her waist.
A [Corpse Man Vine] swept away the letter, crawling and twisting in darkness, and handed it to the Master of the Song family politely.
Maybe it would be kinder if it wasn't dripping with blood.
"Oh, oh, oh, father, I'm so scared——"
"Father, Dad, there is blood——"
The youngest child was crying until his throat was smoking.
They were already frightened, but when they saw the bloody [Corpse Vine] at close range, the blood rushing towards them further amplified their negative emotions. The child's biological mother didn't know the cause and effect. Out of love for the child, she opened her mouth and yelled: "What a gangster, what a remnant. Most of the soldiers and guards in the house are sons of generations of family members. You are bandits who come to the door and kill innocent people indiscriminately! Now you are killing innocent people without any evidence or certificates." If we want to seize other people’s wealth, is there any law of heaven and kings?”
Yu Zi laughed: "My Lord is the law of heaven."
The woman choked at these words and her eyes widened.
I have never seen such a shameless woman in my entire life.
As she spoke, Yu Zi pulled out her sword completely and closed her eyes to cover up the coldness in her eyes: "Mrs. Guan is very articulate. She must have a scholarly background and is very familiar with the principles of heaven and kings. Please tell me which one it is, and you might as well turn back. Tell the lord to change it."
The woman noticed Yu Zi's murderous intention and shrank her neck.
The child in her arms cries hoarsely, which is heartbreaking to hear.
She turned her attention to the head of the family for help.
However, the head of the Song family couldn't care about them at this time. He just grinded his molars angrily, endured his anger, and snatched the letter away.
Yu Zi waited patiently for him to open it.
The head of the Song family violently tore off the tether, and the letter unfolded in his hands - it was written by Shen Youli, so naturally it was not good content.
The inner treasury was burnt to beautiful ashes, and the bones of the princes were trampled in the streets.
Just fourteen words but full of murderous intent.
Master Song's hands were trembling.
He raised his head and looked towards the wall of the mansion.
As a literary scholar, even if he is not very good, he can still notice that there are heavy soldiers surrounding the mansion at this moment.
None of them restrained their murderous aura, which was honed by the heaps of dead people on the battlefield, and could not be compared to the private soldiers trained by the family who spent a lot of money.
Seeing the posture in front of him, he thought with his toes and knew that the threat in the letter in his hand was not a threat. They were really prepared to wipe out his house. Your choice is important! If you know the current affairs and pay the money obediently, there will be no more trouble, and the whole family will still have a way to survive. If he insists on having his own way, the random knives outside the courtyard wall will hit everyone present accurately.
Until it turns into a pile of broken bones and mud.
At daybreak, they were all thrown into the street and trampled on.
The head of the Song family was so angry that the veins on his forehead were about to explode.
Shen Youli, how dare she do this! How dare she! She didn't want to win over the rich and powerful families for her own use. Instead, she exposed the cruel face of the philistines for money and tried every means to steal people's wealth! How is she different from Zheng Qiao and others in behaving like this?
Yu Zi said lightly: "Has the Song family master thought about it?"
The head of the Song family took a deep breath and suppressed his unwillingness.
Then he squeezed out a twisted and unnatural smile: "If Mr. Shen hadn't helped me tonight, the whole family would have been trapped by these extremely vicious people. The food, grass and baggage they had hoarded were all stolen goods, and it was natural for the envoy to take them away. As for the creation I forgot to elaborate on He’s donation, the ten thousand silver is just the wish of the wife, concubines, and heirs of the house, and the bulk of it will be paid by the clan’s public account.”
Yu Zi's smile was much kinder.
He bowed his hands and said, "The Lord of the Song family is righteous."
Lin Feng then made some movement and raised his hand to seal the secret.
The snarling [Corpse Vine] was silent for an instant, and its surface undulated, like a blood vessel magnified countless times, transporting blood to one end. In just three or five breaths, most of the [Corpse Man Vine] withered and died, leaving only sections of gray-white dry tree vines in place. When the wind blows, it turns into powder.
Only the [Corpse Vine] under her feet twisted.
After a full meal, it exudes joy.
Lin Feng said: "Let's go, next one."
[Corpse Vine] carried her flexibly, soared into the air along the courtyard wall, and flew past under the moon. Yu Zi and she acted together. They activated [Chasing the Wind and Sneaking Scenery] and hit the wind vine. For others, there were naturally guards outside the courtyard wall to deal with the aftermath.
Lin Feng: "How many more are there?"
Yu Zi took out the bag and said, "There are two more."
It's still a long way from here.
If it weren't for the extraordinary means of the literary scholars, ordinary people riding fast horses would not necessarily arrive before dawn. Yu Zi sat down: "I don't know what these people are thinking. They actually had the idea of a beauty trap. Do you really think that the master is easy to deceive?"
Don’t you know what it means to steal the chicken but lose the rice?
What used to be something that could be done with 10,000 silver, now costs at least 50,000! Forty thousand taels of silver were wasted! The point is that there is still a list here, and no one wants to be the last three. Yu Zi thought gloatingly that even fifty thousand people might not be able to stop him.
Lin Feng looked down at the map and didn't answer.
"You really sent a beautiful man to your lord, and you met several military advisors and you still didn't reveal your secret? I just don't know what his life is like. According to the news, he is still an ordinary person..." Yu Zi was puzzled.
Lin Feng finally determined the location. [Corpse Man Vine] had sucked enough blood from the last private soldier. Now he was full of energy and motivation. His speed could be compared with the Wenxin scribe who had been blessed with [Chasing Wind and Sneaking Scenery]: "The more The more ordinary people can lower their guard, the military advisors can spy on people's hearts, but since they can be sent to perform honey traps, how can they not be able to control their own thoughts? "
It is not too difficult to pry into the soul of people.
It can be used to eavesdrop on people's inner thoughts, but it does not mean that the inner thoughts of the target are true. Being too complacent will cause the shipwreck. The teacher also often warned her that any word spirit is always only an auxiliary means, and the only one who is truly reliable is herself.
The strength of a literary scholar lies not in his words and spirit, but in himself.
Yu Zi smiled and said: "People stumble, and horses stumble."
He has the perseverance to make his voice impeccable. How can such a ruthless person be found overnight? Strategists can make misjudgments many times, but the beauty in the honey trap can only lose once. Furthermore, he said: "I am from a noble family, how can I be loved by my lord?"
Who doesn’t know who doesn’t know—
My lord, her favorite general is a muscular warrior?
They've all used a beauty trick, but they still don't want to do what they want...
How stingy.
Lin Feng seemed to have thought of this as well, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
This night was destined to be restless.
Not all aristocratic families have the awareness that "those who understand current affairs are heroes", and it is impossible to live on the street without a drop of blood.
There are many aristocratic families who support the honey trap, and the ultimate goal of this plan is to kill Shen Tang. They asked themselves, if they were Shen Tang, they would not let go of the existence that is malicious to them. How much profit can they get by extorting money? It would be better to slaughter all the enemies from the beginning and receive all the inheritance smoothly. They did not think or believe that Shen Tang had a broad mind.
This letter is the best proof.
On the surface it was just a threat, but secretly he had murderous intentions.
Even if they are willing to compromise tonight and change their tune and spend more money to eliminate the disaster, who can guarantee that Shen Tang will not blackmail him every now and then? Who can guarantee that she will not twist her face and raise the butcher knife after receiving the money tonight, enjoying their funny faces at this moment?
Rather than suffer this humiliation, it is better to die together!
"We will not be humiliated by Shen Youli!"
"Rather Stick to your guns!"
For the sake of safety, aristocratic families would spend a lot of money to support private soldiers. The main force was usually kept in rural farms, and a small number were transferred to the family to look after the home. Those with average foundation can raise six to seven hundred people, while those with profound foundation can recruit two to three thousand people with one command!
During special periods, you can also recruit tenant slaves under your name.
What's more, it's not a problem to pull out an army of ten thousand people.
Of course, it takes time to mobilize these soldiers and horses, and their mansion base camp has been surrounded by Shen Tang's soldiers and horses. If a fight breaks out, it will be a narrow escape. Even so, they still took action with the idea of "death together" and were suppressed without any suspense.
Yun Ce looked at the ice sculpture that fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, and sighed slightly. As one of the people in charge of this operation, he naturally knows the true attitude of the master. She just wants money and beats up the dishonest ones, and does not want human lives.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard these people explain it, they can’t explain it.
Xian Yujian said: "Senior brother, is it okay here?"
The ground is full of ice sculpture corpses, and the dead still maintain their last moment expressions. Watching this scene made Xian Yujian envious. He kills people and is covered in blood every time. Even his senior brother comes off the battlefield dressed in white and exuding the fragrance of ice and snow.
Yun Ce waved for the soldiers to come and carry the body.
"Well, that's it."
Xian Yujian comforted him: "Brother, don't be mentally burdened. You want to save them, but there is nothing you can do if they rush to seek death. They have said that the master wants money rather than life, but they still have to send his head. They are conspiring to commit a capital crime. Death is a crime." You deserve it.”
As he was talking, a blue bird landed and stood on his shoulder.
Xian Yujian opened it and took a look.
He smiled and said, "There are quite a few people who are sick and looking for death."
Their brothers and sisters were ordered by their lord to come here to take over the local military administration, clear out the nearby bandits, sort out the official situation of the local counties and counties, and recruit some young men to train soldiers. Just over half a month after arriving, the lord issued another order, asking them to keep an eye on the movements of nearby aristocratic families, and it would be best to find out where their private soldiers were. Junior brother Xian Yujian has been coveting the family's private soldier for a long time.
Is the lord going to take action against the stubborn family?
He had a rough life and really didn't like the aristocratic family.
However, the next secret letter extinguished his enthusiasm.
The lord can only use threats and beatings, as long as the family is willing to cough up the money that will ruin their fortunes and eliminate disasters. They are willing to settle down and stay still for the time being. Xian Yujian was greatly disappointed. The new recruits were all ordinary people. How could they compare with the private soldiers carefully raised by the aristocratic family?
Unexpectedly, this family took the initiative to hand over the knife.
How can you not accept a good thing given away for free?
Unfortunately--
The other family belongs to Lu Jue and Qian Yong.
Lucky for Lu Jue, they had known each other for many years, but Qian Yong was an old man who hated him and would never vomit the meat in his mouth.
As the sky turns white, the darkness slowly dissipates. Yu Zi and Lin Feng also successfully handed over to the garrison leader who was following the third house, and followed the procedures skillfully to surround the house. The servants who woke up early and were in a panic, screams filled everywhere...
Yu Zi yawned and her spirits were shaken.
"After this is done, where shall we go to have lunch?"
"I don't know what delicious food is available here..."
She walked on Lin Feng's left hand, thinking nonstop.
Lin Feng said: "There is a corner door in the backyard, and there is a cake shop on the second street around the corner. His shop is good."
Yu Zi stopped: "What?"
Lin Feng also stopped in shock.
Lu Ji and Yang Ying: "???"
At this time, they discovered that Lin Feng was walking the fastest! It turned out that she had always been the one leading the way, and the leader who had figured out the layout of the mansion was left behind. Lin Feng froze in place, frowning.
Yu Zi asked Lin Feng in a low voice: "Has Ling De been here?"
Lin Feng hesitated and whispered: "It looks familiar."
She seemed to have walked this exquisite corridor in front of her countless times, but her memory was very vague. Before her mind could react, her body already knew where to go. It was okay if Yu Zi didn't ask. When she asked, Lin Feng had a strange expression and remembered when he had passed by.
Moving forward somewhat uncertainly.
Passing through a series of familiar arches, the pace becomes faster and faster.
Sobbing and screaming formed a cacophony of music ahead.
An old male voice cursed something sonorously, followed by the crisp sound of a wooden stick falling on the stone floor. Lin Feng passed through the crowd, and the owner of the voice entered her field of vision.
There was another young warrior blocking everyone behind him.
There were several bloodstains under the warrior's feet.
The wounded soldier was dragged out with non-fatal injuries.
The young warrior frowned in disgust: "How could Mr. Shen bully the weak? What are your intentions in lying about being under Mr. Shen's account?"
