Chapter 17 Xu Kang's Death
Wen Rui was the apple of Jizhou's powerful literary family and had been doted on since she was a child. Otherwise, the family would not have allowed her to wander around as a girl.
It's just that although she often runs out, the Wen family has equipped her with several experts as bodyguards, and everyone also gives her some respect after hearing the name of the Wen family, so she has never suffered a loss.
She had never suffered such humiliation before. Wen Rui's reason was completely burned by anger in an instant. With a "squeak" sound, the sword penetrated her body, and she stabbed Xu Kang completely.
"Ah" Xu Kang screamed and fainted.
The guards who were driving Xu Kang were shocked when they saw this. They originally just wanted to help the young lady vent her anger, but they didn't expect that she actually stabbed her to death with a sword.
Everyone loosened their grip and Xu Kang fell softly to the ground.
Wen Rui was shocked when she saw a human being killed. Although she was unruly and willful, she had a good heart. She often bullied people, but this was her first time killing someone. When she saw that Xu Kang's body was soaked with blood, she immediately panicked.
Said: "He, what happened to him?"
A guard knelt down and checked briefly, then reported: "Miss, he is dead."
Wen Rui suddenly turned pale and said, "How could he be dead? Then, what should I do?"
The guard was obviously experienced in this kind of thing and said calmly: "Miss, don't panic, no one else knows about this matter. As long as the body is taken care of, I believe no one will suspect the lady. But I'm afraid the lady can't be in Ye anymore."
The city has stayed."
After all, Wen Rui was just a teenage girl, let alone her first murder. At this time, she was already at a loss. She just wanted to get rid of this matter as soon as possible, so she said: "Then I will leave this matter to you."
"As commanded."
After Wen Rui gave his instructions, he led several of his men and left the river in a panic on horseback.
The guards who stayed behind could not help but complain a little.
"Young lady is so cruel, she can even take someone's life for such a big thing."
"That's right, don't you think that there are simple people in the Wen family?"
"That's enough, why don't you arrange it for the young lady? While there is no one around at this time, hurry up and throw this person into the river. It's time for us to leave. This is not a good idea. The young lady has been refusing to go home with us. Now I'm afraid
She had to go back with us."
Others immediately agreed.
At that moment, several people moved their hands and feet, and soon threw Xu Kang's body into the Ye River.
It was noon, and in the Dongsheng Inn, seeing that Xu Kang had not come back, Xue Kerr couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and ordered his men: "Immediately send people to search everywhere, and you must find him back for me."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the guards immediately dispersed.
Wang Yue had been drinking tea and chatting with Xue Keer in the past few days, and he had a good impression of her. Seeing how anxious she was about this matter, he couldn't help but persuade her: "Don't worry, he is not a child anymore, he will be fine."
Xue Kerer said angrily: "I'm angry just because he's not a child. It's not like he doesn't know our current situation. He has to be extremely careful every step he takes. Fortunately for him, he disappeared without making a sound.
Who do you think we are?"
Wang Yue knew that she was angry now, and it was not easy to offend her, so he could only remain silent.
At night, there was no news about Xu Kang. Xue Ker's anger had turned into deep worry.
Gongsun Kang also heard the news at this time and rushed over. Although he and Xu Kang were somewhat at odds, as Xu Kang said, he was the main reason for going to Luoyang this time. Without him, the court would never be able to
I will believe in the sincerity of the Fengtian Army.
In this way, the Fengtian Army will not be able to gain recognition from the court and will not be able to change their ways, and the Gongsun family, which has been closely entangled with the Fengtian Army, will also have to bear the serious crime of rebellion.
Therefore, if this incident happened to Xu Kang after he completed the Fengtian Army's Zhao'an mission, Gongsun Kang would definitely be gloating about his misfortune, and would not even mind stabbing him again behind his back. But now he absolutely does not want anything to happen to Xu Kang
.
Several people sat together and discussed for a while, but there was no clue.
Xue Keer said anxiously: "Looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem like the government has taken action. Otherwise, Yecheng would not be so peaceful, and we would not have the chance to sit here and chat."
Gongsun Kang also said doubtfully: "But according to what you said, Deputy Commander Xu doesn't know anyone in Jizhou, let alone any personal enemies. If he meets an ordinary gangster, with his martial arts so high, it is impossible for him to suffer a loss
Ah. Then where else can he go?"
Wang Yue also said to Xue Ker at this time: "You are the closest to Master Xu. If you think about it again, who else does he know in Yecheng?"
Everyone turned their attention to Xue Keer.
But now she was confused because of Xu Kang's disappearance, and she couldn't think of any clues for a while. After a while, Xue Kerer suddenly exclaimed: "I remembered, I once heard that Brother Xu accidentally
It was said in the book that he seems to have some relationship with the Zhen family in Yecheng."
Wang Yue's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered: "Immediately send someone to the vicinity of Zhen's house to have a look. At the same time, let all those who have no tasks go out and ask the whole city for Mr. Xu's whereabouts."
Now everyone can't think of a better way, so they have to listen to Wang Yue's command first.
At this time, Zhang Yan was discussing something with Yang Feng in the headquarters of the head coach of the Montenegrin Army.
At this time, someone outside the tent reported: "Commander, the red-bearded general is here."
"Let him come in." After saying that, Zhang Yan and Yang Feng had already sat down respectively.
A general with a ghost mask on his face and a fluffy red silk strip hanging on his chin like a red beard came in. He took off his mask without knowing it in front of Zhang Yan, and just knelt down on one knee and said: "
Marshal, are you looking for me?"
Zhang Yan already knew her habits, so she didn't take it seriously and said, "You did a good job in stopping Wang Fang a few days ago, but I haven't rewarded you yet."
"This is what a general should do, don't dare to accept the reward."
Zhang Yan nodded and stopped arguing on this topic. After all, the red-bearded general chose to remain silent because he did not want to have a stalemate with Wang Fang, and he could not add fuel to the flames on this issue.
Zhang Yan said: "It's best if you take the overall situation into consideration. This time I hope you can go to Luoyang and get in touch with Deputy Commander Xu secretly."
The red-bearded general was stunned and said: "Commander, you don't believe Deputy Commander Xu?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that no one of my own has done this, which is reassuring. You can have a good discussion with him before you go. I believe he will understand the current situation of our Montenegrin Army."
"But why should I go?"
"Now there are as many generals who oppose the recruitment as those who agree. I can't tell what they think. Now I only believe you."
The red-bearded general understood that this was because he intercepted Wang Fang a few days ago and made Zhang Yan think that he was a staunch Zhao'an faction, so he proposed to go to Luoyang today.
But she had just made up her mind to never see Xu Kang. She didn't expect that Zhang Yan would send her to contact Xu Kang now, and she couldn't help but feel a little conflicted in her heart.
Zhang Yan didn't know this. Seeing that the red-bearded general was a little hesitant, he said: "Don't worry, I will personally watch your subordinates for you and ensure that no one will touch them. If this happens, I will give them to you."
You remember the first merit."
Seeing Zhang Yan's persistence, the red-bearded general had no choice but to nod his head and say: "Everything will be as arranged by the commander-in-chief."
