Chapter 121 The golden cicada escapes from its shell, rewards and punishments(1/2)
Wannian County, shrouded in the dark night, was awakened by the sound of a thunder, and the flames exploded, shining through the thick clouds.
The whistle rocket sent by Ji Yuan was so conspicuous that it could be seen clearly from a radius of fifty miles.
Just like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, it quickly triggers violent reactions from all parties.
In the spacious and luxurious manor, Butler Lan, who had not yet rested, heard the movement and looked up.
I saw a dragon looking down from the sky above the black clouds that covered the stars and the moon.
"Heilongtai... No, who leaked the news and attracted the court's hawks?"
Butler Lan's expression changed and his eyes turned cold.
"My mother-in-law has not yet mastered the Great Blood River Pill! She is going to suffer!"
He quickly turned around and walked quickly to the study.
When the maids and servants along the way saw them, they all bowed down to say hello and salute.
In recent years, Yujiazhuang's various inputs such as rent collection, dyeing shop operation, and cloth business have all been handled by this big housekeeper.
The wealthy slaves, bankers, and even the servants and guardians below were all replaced by their own people.
The eldest son was left with only a pair of orphans and a widowed mother, who could not seize power.
In addition to the second and third bedrooms, the extravagance and extravagance will only cost money, and they will not be able to compete with Butler Lan.
Nowadays, it has become an indisputable fact that the main family is weak and power has fallen to others.
"What went wrong? It shouldn't have happened!"
Dodge into the study and open the hidden secret room.
Butler Lan lit three blood-red incense sticks and said silently:
"Everything is impermanent and heaven's secrets are unpredictable;
Be hungry for knowledge, be as humble as a fool;
I am a disciple and take refuge in the strange people..."
Hoo ho ho!
A dark wind blew in the room for no reason, and the smoke from the incense curled up into a few lines of text out of thin air.
Gu Hongzi, died.
It has been exposed and hidden.
Ji Yuan, Cha.
Three sentences can make people turn pale with fear.
"Gu Hongzi showed his flaws and was noticed by others?
Damn it for ruining the plan for nothing!
Ji Yuan... Duke Liang's Mansion, and Meng Changhe all want to get rid of the person who is behind Kuai?
This child is indeed a variable..."
Butler Lan was frightened at first, and then quickly calmed down.
It is different from Gu Hongzi’s physical cauldron being damaged, which affects his mind.
He still maintained the ability to adapt to the situation and immediately extinguished the blood-red incense.
Uncover the red cloth on the offering table to reveal the tablet of the White Bone Taoist Master.
After a few hasty arrangements, the secret room was concealed as a training ground for members of the evil sect.
Let Baigudao take the blame as much as possible to attract the attention of the court.
So as not to expose the big plan!
After doing this, Butler Lan knelt down on the futon
He took out a dagger from his sleeve and swiped it across his neck without hesitation.
A line of wounds emerged, and blood came out.
Butler Lan's body collapsed to the ground, lifeless on the spot.
"It's such a pity that two good cauldrons were destroyed like this, as well as my son-mother blood river elixir that was about to be completed.
Ji Yuan...Ji Jiulang...sooner or later this account will have to be settled."
A ghost floated out of the cold body, turned into light smoke and left the secret room of the study.
"Zhang Hu..."
In the outer courtyard of Yujiazhuang, a tall and sturdy servant was patrolling the night when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
When I looked back, there was no one there.
"It's really strange, I clearly heard it..."
He continued to walk forward holding the lantern.
"Zhang Hu!"
The voice of eager expectation became clearer and clearer, as if it was standing behind you.
"Which piece of shit is playing tricks on me?"
The servant was furious, frowning angrily, and turned to look again.
The yard was empty, the cold wind was howling, and it was extremely quiet.
The swaying light of the lantern made the shadows on the wall dance.
He suddenly felt a little frightened and his courage weakened.
Quicken your pace and go straight to the door.
"Zhang Hu!"
A shrill roar reached his ears, as if someone was swooping over him. The servant turned around to look, and saw a ferocious grimace with a weird smile under his hood.
He stumbled and fell when he tripped on the steps. The lantern rolled down like a piece of grass.
After a while, the servant got up again.
Holding the extinguished lantern, he put aside his stiff expression on his pale face and walked out of the door on tiptoe.
……
……
The next day, Mao hour has not yet arrived.
Inside the Heilongtai Yamen, there was a tense and solemn atmosphere.
What happened last night was really too big.
In the second half of the night in Tianjing City, the North and South Yamen, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and the Xuanwu Guards stationed at the Xishan Paddock.
Everyone was shocked!
I'm afraid even Ji Yuan would not have thought that his sentry rocket would eventually attract nearly 30,000 soldiers and completely surround Wannian County.
Originally, Lan Hong's head was chopped off in the Lion Tower, Gu Hongzi's ghost was killed, and the artifact inherited from the White Bone Path was obtained. This case was mostly settled.
Unexpectedly, Coach Wei, who was divided into two groups, found more than 300 dead babies in the nursery, as well as purple river carts made with potion.
Such a heartbreaking and terrifying thing was done at the feet of a saint!
Once word spreads, how will the imperial court lose its dignity?
Twenty years ago, there would have been a time when we would have ridden mountains and demolished temples.
Therefore, the North and South Yamen hurriedly dispatched.
After the matter was reported to the East Palace, the Crown Prince became furious.
All night long, the troops of the five cities were ordered to blockade Tianjing City, and the Xuanwu Guards were ordered to search within a thousand miles.
What a huge momentum!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The bronze chime rings, Mao hour has arrived.
There are three seats in the lobby, but there are only two figures
The top position is the position of governor, so it is naturally vacant.
On the left and right sides are the commanders of the North and South Yamen respectively.
Song Huan, Ao Jing.
One is thin and elegant, with a distinguished bearing, and the other has a round waist and abdomen, like a mountain of meat.
They were each wearing the golden and red official uniforms of Qilin Buzi, looking down silently.
